Chapter 47 Jointly dispatching troops
"The white clouds are whistling and flying across the seven rivers, and the Lu water is singing and moving across the three Hunan provinces. Don't hesitate to sell fine wine by boat, or spend thousands of dollars to buy the fragrance of spring."
Chen Zhen strode into the main hall with his head held high, then bowed and said impolitely: "I see you, Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty."
Cao Cao looked down contemptuously and ignored him.
Chen Zhen continued to speak loudly: "I see the Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty, I see the Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty..."
Cao Cao was finally convinced by Chen Zhen's impatience and asked with a faint smile: "Who is below?"
"I am Chen Zhen, a subordinate of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou."
"You have not been a king in Jingzhou for a long time, but you once dared to fight against the king and disobey the imperial edict. I wonder what you are doing here this time?"
"Prime Minister, our nine counties in Jingxiang are the land of the Han Dynasty. The Prime Minister is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. If the prime minister of the Han Dynasty does not protect the territory of the Han Dynasty, how can he convince the world..."
"Chen Zhen, even if you are sophistical, what do you think if I discuss it with my civil and military officials?"
Xu Chu had a bad temper and shouted: "Prime Minister, I was defeated at Wancheng last time. I have always been unwilling to accept it. We must take revenge this time!"
Cheng Yu stood up and said slowly: "Lord, it is not appropriate for us to attack Wancheng now. Our strong enemy is Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has stationed troops on the north bank of the Yellow River and will attack at any time. We have to defend. If we divide our troops in Wancheng,
It is difficult for the city to deal with Yuan Shao's army."
Cao Cao Tingting seemed to be justified, she gently held her beard and nodded in approval.
Guo Jia actually stood up and replied: "Prime Minister, I personally think that our army should assist Jingzhou, and we should fight quickly, decisively, and quickly. I think the ambitions of the Wancheng soldiers are not small. Once they capture Jingzhou, they will directly fight with
If our troops form a confrontation, we will be attacked from the north and the south, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Cao Ren, as the leader of the generals, also stood up and said: "Prime Minister, our army must be on guard against Yuan Shao's army."
Cao Hong, Cao Chun and other Cao generals agreed with Cao Ren's view.
At this time, Zhang Liao stood up and said: "We must annihilate the Wancheng soldiers quickly and resolutely. Among them are Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and other elite soldiers and generals. Once they recover, it will be difficult to annihilate them.
."
Zhang Liao's views were agreed by Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang. Xun You also strongly advocated sending troops to Wancheng.
Finally, Cao Cao turned his attention to the Xiahou brothers.
Xiahou Dun stood up and made it clear, "We are willing to listen to the Prime Minister's command, and we will fight wherever the Prime Minister goes."
Cao Cao replied: "General Xiahou, you are very cunning."
However, Xia Houyuan disagreed with his brother's opinion and said: "Prime Minister, sending troops is inevitable. Yuan Shao's army has not yet been fully assembled. I heard that he is now attacking Gongsun Zan with all his strength, so our army sent elite cavalry to attack Wancheng over a long distance.
After the battle, we will turn to Hebei to deal with Yuan Shao."
After Xia Houyuan spoke, the civil and military officials began to discuss one after another, talking about all kinds of things...
Chen Zhen had been watching these civil and military ministers under Cao Cao with cold eyes. He knew that it was almost done and Cao Cao should make a decision.
Cao Cao coughed immediately, and the entire hall fell into silence.
Cao Cao smiled and asked: "Mr. Chen, you see that all my subordinates have different opinions, and I don't know which side to listen to?"
Chen Zhen knew that Cao Cao was trying to extort money, so he immediately stood up and said: "If the Prime Minister succeeds in sending troops to relieve the siege, Jingzhou is willing to offer Nanyang, Nanjun, Nanxiang and Xinye Prefecture. I wonder what the Prime Minister wants?"
"Okay, we will collect these lands for the Emperor of Han Dynasty."
Cao Cao thought for a while and finally began to give orders.
"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun."
"The end will be here."
"Order Cao Ren as commander-in-chief of the three armies, Xiahou Dun as deputy commander-in-chief, Cao Hong and Cao Chun as generals, and immediately lead one hundred thousand troops to Guandu to prevent Yuan Shao."
"yes."
"Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Xia Houyuan."
"The end will be here."
"You are divided into two groups. Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan and you lead 10,000 cavalry, and Li Dian Lejin leads 30,000 infantry to Jingzhou to relieve the siege. You make Xia Houyuan the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Lejin as deputy commanders. You can do it easily and set off today.
."
"yes."
"Mr. Chen, you go back to Jingzhou first. You can discuss the specific contact matters with General Xiahou."
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
