Chapter 2003: Understanding the Mind, an Unexpected Gift

Some people say, ahem, Mr. Lu, please sit down, because human beings, like other animals, have the innate instinct to eat food, so they have greed. Therefore, greed comes from eating.

Eat more.

Eat better.

The key is to eat everything, eat plants, eat animals, eat atmosphere, eat value, eat the environment, eat the past, eat the present, and of course, eat the future.

Liu He thinks he is very decent, just like most greedy people think they are not greedy. He firmly believed that everything he did was for the future and to inherit his father's legacy, so Liu He felt that everything he did was right.

Liu He's goal is to surpass his father Liu Yu, but Liu He doesn't know what he will do after surpassing him. In order to catch up or surpass, the most important thing is military power. We must not be like Liu Yu back then. He had no troops on hand and was tricked when he went out. Therefore, Liu He attaches great importance to his military power, and this time Zhao Yun asked him to go north to seize the remains of Xianbei, playing into Liu He's plan.

General Hussar must look down on those Xianbei people. This is normal, but Liu He is different. He desires more and his hunger is deeper, so whoever can increase his strength, no matter who he is?

As a result, Liu He almost showed extraordinary enthusiasm, or wanted to regain the lost impression points in front of Zhao Yun and Sima Yi. When the sky was still dark, he happily ran with the Wuhuan people. Heading into the desert, Xianbei Budu went to where he was originally stationed...

"This man is good on the outside and evil on the inside. He is weak on the outside but greedy on the inside. He is not useful..." Zhao Yun watched Liu He and his men go away and said slowly, and then did not wait for Sima Yi to add anything more. He changed the topic, "How is the situation in Yuyang?" 』

Sima Yi smiled and said, "It's part of the plan." 』

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, "That's it... pass the order!" Slowly enter Yuyang! 』

"Everything, dong, dong..."

The sound of war drums roared, awakening the rising sun that was still lingering in the horizon. He opened his eyes slightly and immediately saw a big three-color flag. Under the flag, many people were lining up, and there were naturally many of them. The young man was looking at him, as if to say, Taiyang, you lazy idiot, we have been up for so long and you still haven’t moved...

The sun suddenly became a little angry. He snorted and shook off the golden light on his body. It fell down, forcing those who were staring at it to be unable to look directly and turned their heads. Only then did he feel that his mind was clear, and he started to stagger. Climb up.

It's not just the sun, nor just one person who wants to have access to his mind. Many people pursue this, just like Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan has a nickname, "General Bai Di". Although Cao Cao only said it in anger, for some reason, it spread like wildfire, and instantly it was like a spring breeze, blowing all over the ground.

So much so that Xia Houyuan felt that everyone knew it. Everyone who smiled at him was laughing at his new nickname, and if they didn't smile at him, they were despising him because of his new nickname...

Why?

Whenever he thinks of this matter, Xia Houyuan can't help but tremble with anger, his hands and feet are cold, hell is empty, the devil is in the world, I, Xia Houyuan...well, I have cheated, and I have indeed lost. He had nothing to say about losing the battle, which was disgraceful, but he was once a brave general in the Cao family. He also made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and then he was defeated once by the Hussars. The previous The merits no longer exist?

At the same time, he was deprived of his right to lead troops and gave it to Cao Chun!

What the hell is Cao Chun, huh!

Xia Houyuan snorted. How good can this guy be? Aren't you still trembling in front of the hussars? And he ran away without fighting! If he doesn't even have the courage to fight, what kind of hero is he?

Xia Houyuan pulled the dried meat strips fiercely and chewed them with a grin on his face. If you ignore the surname Cao, Cao Chun is nothing!

Aren't you very capable? Isn’t it Cao’s Thousand Mile Horse? Why are you still asking for help now? Where has the previous arrogance gone? Just Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are afraid of being like this?

I, I am not afraid!

This time, he actually had to go to help and ask himself to replace Zhang He, saying that Zhang He had done something unusual...

Why do you still leave it there if there is something unusual happening? If there is really any suspicion, just kill him! If that doesn't work, wouldn't it be possible to take back military power? Can't do such a simple thing?

Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, nothing will happen if you kill him! Moreover, Zhang He himself was a surrendered general. How loyal could he be to the Cao family and the Xiahou family? If a duplicitous guy like this is suspected, why should he stay?

This kid Cao Chun really has no courage at all!

snort! He is simply an incompetent person!

If I get to Yuyang, I will definitely operate on Zhang He first, to show my decisiveness in killing and my courage to do anything! Then compare it with the hesitant and hesitant behavior of that boy Cao Chun, and everyone in the world will surely realize who is the real thousand-mile horse of the Xiahou family of the Cao family!

Cao Chun is General Bai Di! Hum!

Xia Houyuan cursed secretly and felt somewhat comfortable. However, Xia Houyuan did not realize or think deeply about why Cao Chun did not do what he thought was so simple...

The dried meat was too salty and extremely hard. Xia Houyuan tore at it a few times. His cheeks were a little tired. He put down half of the dried meat, took a gulp of water, and then yelled: "Fuck, move faster!" Clean up and move on! Head to Yuyang! 』

This time, I want revenge!

Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth. This time he must give up his name as "General Bai Di", so that he can understand his thoughts! Only then can you save your reputation!

This is an excellent opportunity!

Of course, everyone has different understandings of opportunities. For example, Gongsun Du also believed that the current moment was a good opportunity to plunder Xianbei like crazy.

What? Are the Xianbei people allies?

That's right, it was precisely because I was friends with Budugen, the King of Xianbei, that I rushed to raise his wife for him! Nothing wrong? There is a kind of good relationship, which is called "feeling that the relationship is good".

Gongsun Du and Liu Yi were riding horses and standing in the meadow.

This is a medium-sized grassland. Originally, there were about a dozen nomadic families, but now, of course, they have all disappeared. Behind the meadow is a small hill that does not seem to be big, but when you walk closer, you can see that there are three Forty meters high and two or three miles in radius, it can block the wind, so Gongsundu set up his camp at the foot of the mountain.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're still a little late!" ” Gongsundu gritted his teeth, as if he had filled all the red balls with two-color balls, and then missed a basketball. He really wanted to drag the Ding Ling people over one by one and cut them into pieces, “They robbed them and set them on fire.” ! This group of damned people, it’s no exaggeration to say that the sky will strike them like lightning! 』

Bu Dugen has been roaming in the desert for many years, so naturally there are a lot of things. Ding Ling people saw that the situation was not good, and after knowing that Bu Dugen was in danger, they immediately crooked it and looted it in the blink of an eye. Bu Dugen's lair, but there were not many Ding Ling people after all, so they couldn't take them all away, so they set a fire.

If I can’t take it away, no one else can take it either! The bad nature of human beings itself is like this, no matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad. So when Gongsun Du arrived, most of the good things had been taken away, leaving only some leftovers. How could this fill Gongsun Du's hungry stomach?

"Lord, what should we do next...?" Liu Yi asked.

Gongsun Du raised his hand and pointed into the distance, "Continue to send people to collect in all directions, and capture as many as you can!" After finally going out, of course I can’t just take these few things! 』

"My lord is right..." Liu Yi held it up and said, "It's just...the place where Yuyang is..."

"Send someone to keep an eye on it!" Gongsun Du said, "Here are the small heads, over there are the big heads!" Yuyang, haha, Yuyang..."

When the two people were talking, they suddenly saw soldiers galloping towards them on horseback in the distance, and their expressions moved slightly.

"You dare to compete with me for Xianbei troops?" 』

When Gongsun Du got Liu He's troops and went around to harvest the Xianbei tribe, he couldn't help but became furious and immediately ordered Liu Yi to take his troops to expel them!

After all, the Ding Ling people escaped into the depths of the desert. It took too much effort to find them, so they left it alone for now. However, they did not expect that Liu He and the Wuhuan people came again. This was like adding fuel to the fire. Gongsun Du was so angry that he must teach Liu He a lesson and let him know who is the new owner and the new boss of Xianbei!

"beat! Old thief Gongsun! That's too much! Liu He was also furious and wanted to compete with Gongsun Du.

Liu He and Wuhuan Louban were also a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Gongsun Du's army in front.

Liu He originally thought that this trip to the north would be extremely easy, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Du, a food grabber, would emerge from the thorn. How could he endure this?

But what Liu He didn't know was that the reason why he felt extremely angry and wanted to have a fight with Gongsun Du was not because Gongsun Du came to grab food, but because Gongsun Du's surname was "Gongsun". Unknowingly, Among them, Liu He was reminded of the events between his father Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan...

There is another reason. In addition to the conflict of interests, Zhao Yun defeated Xianbei so quickly, which also made Liu He and others feel some strong uneasiness.

Having strong allies is a good thing, but allies are too strong...

Um.

Sometimes that may not be a good thing.

Of course, the reason why Liu He had such strong emotions now was that he did not realize that it was because of Sima Yi's previous words, the so-called seeds planted by his father's legacy.

Although Wuhuan Renlouban felt that Liu He's attitude was suddenly so tough, which was a little strange, but after thinking about it, a fight was also appropriate. On the grassland, it was originally about who had the bigger fist and who made more sense. Since both sides wanted Xianbei With these pastures and herdsmen left behind by humans, struggle is naturally inevitable.

Then if we all agree, let's fight.

The two sides lined up, facing each other from a distance.

Relatively speaking, the battlefield on the grassland is relatively wide, and there is no so-called dangerous terrain to speak of. Both sides occupy a relatively high grass slope, facing each other from a distance. Of course, the so-called grass slope is only in the middle. For relatively low-lying terrain, the slope is actually a bit steeper, but not very high.

Between the two small grassy slopes is a large, relatively low-lying area covered with grass. This should have been the favorite place for cattle and sheep, but now it is shrouded in Xiaosha.

Liu Helou Ban and others were in the southwest, Liu Yi and other Liaodong soldiers were in the northeast, and they all formed their own formations.

Lou Ban was riding on horseback, pointing at Liu Yi's formation four hundred steps away, and said to Liu He: "This guy is lying to us... Don't look at the loose line in front, but there are many people behind. If we hit the center directly, we will definitely be trapped in it, and then the left and right wings will come up... Haha, this guy plans to eat us in one go. He has such a big appetite..."

Lou Ban has been fighting since he was a child. Although he doesn't read any military books like the Han people, he has a lot of practical experience in the war on the grassland. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed the murderous intention hidden in Liu Yi's arrangement.

"If that's the case, let's break it straight!" ”Liu He said simply, “Our general, General Xianyu, will obey the command of King Lou Ban and break the enemy’s formation together!” 』

"good! ” Wuhuan Wanglou’s class also nodded in agreement, and then began to arrange it.

Seeing the Wuhuan people on the opposite side blowing their horns, and the messengers moving out in twos and threes, running to the left and right of the queue, Liu Yi raised his hand to signal his men to beat the war drums and prepare for battle.

Of course Liu Yi is not a rookie on the battlefield, but because he has always dealt with Goguryeo's stick army, in terms of experience, the speed and quantity of growth are still somewhat lacking. Just like killing chickens in Novice Village all the time, killing five hundred Korean chickens may not give you as much experience as killing one high-level monster.

Amidst the sound of the horn, the Wuhuan people in the building class began to move slowly, and the speed gradually increased. The sound of horse hooves gradually became denser from sparse.

"The spearmen came forward, ready to intercept. 』

"Archers prepare!" 』

"The cavalry on both wings is ready!" 』

Waiting for work, Liu Yi felt that he had an advantage. He issued a series of orders and stared closely at the Wuhuan troops charging straight into the middle, with a smile on his face.

In the midline area, Liu Yi set up many obstacles. As expected, these Wuhuan people, like those Abaasi sticks, like to attack the center...

But soon, the smile on Liu Yi's face disappeared. When the distance between the two sides was less than 200 steps, Lou Ban raised his sword high and roared, and then the passionate horn sound was heard among the rolling horse hooves. Ring!

Following the instructions given by the horn sound, the left side of the Wuhuan people slowed down, while the opposite happened on the right side. The galloping speed of the war horses suddenly accelerated, and the dense sound of horse hooves immediately turned into a roar, and then it was like thunder. It shook the entire battlefield. The entire Wuhuan people's formation suddenly turned from charging towards Liu Yi's center formation diagonally towards Liu Yi's left wing, like a slashing sword, whizzing out!

Liu Yi had no choice but to draw his sword and shouted with all his strength: "The left wing moves closer to the central army, and the right wing covers it!" The Chinese army attacks and advances at full speed! 』Even though Liu Yi immediately changed his strategy to deal with it, the advantage of being the first mover was lost. Unknowingly, he was forced to follow the rhythm of the floor class and began to respond. The original advantageous situation of Liu Yi waiting for work gradually disappeared.

The inconvenience of infantry against cavalry was fully exposed.

Liu Yi could not win quickly, so Gongsun Du had to personally lead his troops to support him. Liu He and Lou Ban, on the other hand, were not willing to fight regardless, so the two sides retreated from each other, and after establishing a certain distance, they retreated. Gather your troops and prepare for the next battle...

Look back at Yuyang.

Cao Chun was anxiously waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, but he didn't expect that the letter of engagement sent by Zhao Yun first came...

This was originally what Cao Cao was most accustomed to doing. It was obvious that Sima Yi's words and sentences were not bad at all. Cao Chun was so angry that he almost went crazy on the spot.

But what made Cao Chun feel even more unhappy and angry was that Zhang He actually received a gift!

An unexpected gift from the Cavalry General!

At least that's what the envoy sent by Sima Yi said, saying that General Hussar once said that Zhang He "is a good general of the country, but there is no way he can use it..."

Of course, Zhang He was also frightened and quickly forwarded the so-called "gift from General Hussar" to Cao Chun.

The gift was very simple. There was a brocade robe in a wooden box.

The brocade robe was just ordinary silk and satin, with no interlayers or any "clothing edict" part. Cao Chun almost had someone tear the brocade robe into pieces, but he couldn't find any unusual problems.

There was nothing wrong with the wooden box. It was still a simple lacquer box with a lid and a bottom. There was just a layer of cyan cloth in the middle. There was also no interlayer. Even Cao Chun split the box in half and found nothing. It is different from other wooden boxes.

So, is Qiusi a casual gift-giver?

Why was it given to Zhang He?

Why didn't Qiusi give it to me?

Why?

Why!

Many questions burst out in Cao Chun's mind, causing Cao Chun to circle around in the meeting hall like a trapped animal. After a while, Cao Chun stopped, half lowered his head, and looked sideways. Jushou on the side said in a cold voice, "What does the military advisor think about this matter?" 』

I wish all book friends: Happy New Year! May all go well with you! In good health!
