Chapter 39 His amazing talent shines across the air [Seeking follow-up reading]

"Are you contacting Zhang Rang?" Cao Cao asked.

Concubine Yu pulled the quilt down two inches more, "It wasn't me who contacted him."

"It was Zhang Rang's people who found my lady-in-waiting and said they could find a chance to take me out of the palace. He has always been the Queen Mother's man. I thought the Queen Mother was testing me, so I didn't dare to respond."

Concubine Yu whispered, "I didn't expect that he would suddenly take me out of the palace that night."

Cao Cao remembered what Zhang Rang said before he died: "The sky is dead."

Zhang Rang believed in Huang-Lao, or Taoism, and had secret correspondence with the great sage Zhang Jue, which is clearly recorded in history books.

Cao Cao thought that Zhang Rang's escape obviously had follow-up arrangements, but he was blocked and killed by Cao Cao, so the plan could not be carried out.

He fled with the emperor, Prince Chenliu, Concubine Yu and others. What on earth was he trying to do?

Cao Cao's thoughts moved, but he quickly suppressed them.

It doesn’t matter what Zhang Rang’s plan was, because everyone is dead.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Yu Qing: "Stay here first, don't rush home, I'll have someone test the Yu family's attitude first."

Concubine Yu nodded imperceptibly and put her head back into the quilt.

The lights in the hall were turned off and it became completely quiet.

……

The night is dark.

A hundred miles northwest of Luoyang, there are rolling low mountains.

Xun Yu was standing on a low hill, looking down the hill: "How confident are you, General?"

Two or three steps in front of him stood a man in his sixties with a straight figure.

He is the most famous general of the time, Huangfu Song.

Most of the generals in the court today were once his subordinates and had fought with him.

He fought hundreds of battles, big and small, in his life and was victorious in every one of them.

He was also the person Dong Zhuo feared the most.

Last November, a rebel army appeared in Liangzhou, led by a man named Wang Guo, who surrounded Chencang. When recruiting new personnel, Emperor Lingdi Liu Hong appointed Huangfu Song, who had been dismissed for listening to slander, as the Left General.

Dong Zhuo also assisted Huangfu Song in his former capacity as a general.

At that time, Dong Zhuo proposed to advance quickly to Chencang, but was rejected by Huangfu Song and his troops remained in place.

As it turned out, Huangfu Song was right.

Wang Guo led the rebels and besieged Chencang for many days. However, due to the strong defense of the city, they were unable to capture it. His troops were exhausted and forced to retreat.

At this time Huangfu Song suddenly attacked.

Dong Zhuo tried to dissuade him, saying: The enemy is already retreating. They are now cornered and have no way to retreat. They must fight to the death. We should not chase them hastily, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses.

Huangfu Song laughed loudly: How can these tired and defeated soldiers have the fighting spirit and vigor to fight with me!
Huangfu Song won victory after victory, defeated the rebel army led by Wang Guotong and put down the rebellion.

Dong Zhuo always felt at a loss as to what to do and made frequent mistakes in front of Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song always seemed to see opportunities for military deployment that he could not see.

So he felt envy, jealousy, and fear towards Huangfu Song.

At this time, Huangfu Song looked back from the low hill, his eyes bright, and asked Xun Yu:
"A few days ago, Cao Cao sent me a letter, urging me to send troops in time. He said that it was too late to stop Dong Zhuo head-on, but we could stop his subsequent reinforcements."

While Huangfu Song was speaking, he took out a letter that Cao Cao had written on Caihou paper and had sent to him secretly by his personal soldiers.

"When I first read this letter, I was still a little hesitant, but now it has been proven that Dong Zhuo has rebellious intentions. Fortunately, I was reminded by this letter at the time. After weighing the pros and cons, I chose to send troops. Otherwise, it would be too late to regret."

Xun Yu said, "I also discussed with the upper army and decided to come to assist the general."

Huangfu Song: "That's exactly what I want to ask. When you came from Luoyang, I was already leading my troops on the way to stop Dong Zhuo's reinforcements. How were you able to find the location of my troops?

For the sake of secrecy, I did not tell anyone the route of the march this time."

"That's General Cao's judgment."

Xun Yu: "He pointed out two locations, saying that if General Huangfu led his troops to stop Dong Zhuo's reinforcements, he would be in one of these two places, and this place is more likely."

Huangfu Song said "oh" and seemed very surprised.

You know, it is not easy to determine the marching route.

Not only are there many factors to consider, but it is also a psychological game for the commander.

"Can Cao Mengde see the route of Dong Zhuo's reinforcements, and where I will lead my troops to stop the enemy?"

Huangfu Song was about to speak again when one of his personal soldiers came to report that scouts had spotted a large number of light cavalry approaching at high speed.

The enemy kept their mouths shut and their horses' hooves wrapped to conceal their marching movements, and they were now less than ten miles away from them.

At this time, Xun Yu couldn't help but admire.

Huangfu Song was worthy of being a famous general of the dynasty. He made accurate judgments and blocked the way of the troops from Liangzhou.

There are many routes to choose from from Liangzhou to Luoyang.

The road where they had ambushed in advance was neither the shortest nor the most suitable for marching.

Huangfu Song resolutely chose this route to ambush his opponent.

The cavalry really appeared before his eyes, proving his judgment. Similarly, Huangfu Song was also surprised that Cao Cao had the same judgment as him.

Military strategy is the most complex subject in the world, involving human nature, psychology, complex military knowledge, geography, and even weather changes.

The two armies were between life and death, and they were cunning and treacherous.

The slightest mistake will cost you your life.

"coming."

Huangfu Song stared at the wide area in the distance.

At the end of the sight, a team composed entirely of cavalry was showing its tracks and rapidly closing the distance like a tide.

Huangfu Song ordered his men: "Prepare to stop the enemy!"

Under the low hill behind him, the cavalry stretched out in a row. All of them were silent, but they raised their spears at the same time!

The desire to fight suddenly increased.

ready!

Even the temperature seemed to be dropping around this low hill.

The enemy's troops were approaching their area in a fan-shaped formation, and there seemed to be nearly 10,000 of them.

Huangfu Song only brought three thousand elite troops.

Under Huangfu Song's command, the team suddenly rushed out from behind a low hill and divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, to meet the enemy on the opposite side.

In the darkness of the night, the two armies collided with each other like two surging waves.

Arrows rained down, and shouts of killing suddenly broke out!
Luoyang.

Cao Mansion.

Concubine Yu had a special physique and recovered quickly from her previous fatigue.

She couldn't sleep, so she lay on the inside of the couch and stole glances at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was resourceful and decisive, with a reserved mind and a majestic look. If you look closely at his face, you can see that it has clear edges and corners, and is very charming.

Concubine Yu looked at him secretly for a moment and found him somewhat attractive and quite good-looking.

This evil man just took her away like that.

But the experience just now was unprecedented...Yu Qing felt her cheeks getting a little hot.

With her thoughts in a mess, she slowly fell asleep.

time flies.

In the early morning, Cao Cao opened his eyes, got up from the couch, got dressed and went to the study.

The young tiger was lying in the study with a resentful expression on his face.

Concubine Yu and Cao Cao stayed in the bedroom tonight and did not let it in.

The palace was still under tight security even after nightfall.

When Cao Cao came to the study, Dian Wei appeared at the door.

He and Xiao Xiang would take turns, and one of them would always remain alert to protect Cao Cao's safety.

After sitting on a low mat, Cao Cao took out the map again and looked at it at the desk.

If Huangfu Song received the letter and went to intercept Dong Zhuo's reinforcements, a firefight would most likely take place tonight.

Cao Cao had already judged which route Dong Zhuo's reinforcements would take to Luoyang, and he casually marked it on the map.

Its location completely coincides with the place where Huangfu Song set up an ambush to block Dong Zhuo's reinforcements.

Cao Cao stared at the map and said, "Huangfu Song will definitely choose an area with relatively complex terrain, preferably with slight ups and downs, to limit the flexibility of the Liangzhou tribesmen who are good at riding and shooting and riding fast."

"Then order your troops to attack from both wings and attack the enemy.

The enemy was in a hurry to get to Luoyang, and they were marching at night, so their ranks were definitely scattered and they had no time to shrink. Huangfu Song used his speed to defeat his slow force, and he was able to gain the upper hand in the battle..."

What Cao Cao was talking about was exactly the tactics used by Huangfu Song.

The terrain and the arrangement of men and horses are almost the same.

Huangfu Song and Cao Cao, as if echoing each other from a distance, made the same judgment based on their knowledge and talent in military affairs.

Cao Cao's eyes fell on the marching map, shining brightly.

His military talent was aided by external plug-ins. Although he had not yet presided over a major war, there had obviously been some subtle changes.

After dawn, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother summoned Cao Cao into the palace.

Chongde Hall.

Important officials of the court, including Weiwei Yang Biao, Taiwei Cui Lie, Taifu Yuan Wei, and Taipu Yuan Ji, arrived one after another.

Cao Cao also stood in the queue.

The Queen Mother summoned so many people, obviously something happened.

Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Bian then entered the palace together.
