Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 23 Brother, You Are Partial
White Horse Ferry.

The brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan waited here for many days.

Cao Cao asked the two of them to guard the Baima Ferry in order to prevent the Black Mountain Army from going south to plunder.

After all, Dongjun is their own foundation, and they cannot let the Black Mountain Army destroy it easily.

prior to,

They did repel several Black Mountain armies that intended to cross the Yellow River and plunder southward, but they were not large forces.

"Brother, when do you think the main force of the Black Mountain Army will arrive?" Xiahou Yuan was so anxious that he went out to watch thirty episodes a day, but he returned disappointed every time.

Xiahou Dun was able to keep his composure and said slowly:
“Don’t worry, the Black Mountain Army has a hundred thousand troops, and Meng De and his men can’t defeat them in one breath.

As the siege drags on, the Black Mountain army will run out of food and grass and will naturally head south in search of supplies."

Sure enough, after a few days, a lot of Black Mountain troops arrived at Baima Ferry.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan excitedly led their troops out to fight.
But I found that these Black Mountain soldiers were all dejected, as if they had lost their souls.
And there is no one in charge.

"What's going on?" Xiahou Yuan looked puzzled.
They captured several prisoners and interrogated them.
Only then did I know that Cao Cao, Cao Yan and others,
They actually defeated all 100,000 Black Mountain troops!
"Oh my god, one hundred thousand Black Mountain troops were dispersed just like that?" Xiahou Yuan was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Xiahou Dun bent down and picked up the broken spear shaft from the ground. He weighed it in his palm and sighed, "It seems that our brothers have defended the city in vain this time."

Xiahou Yuan was furious when he heard this.

He kicked the prisoner in front of him and cursed him:

"Damn it, this isn't a war, it's clearly a way to get yourself killed!!"

After cursing, he turned to Xiahou Dun and said bitterly:

"Meng De swallowed up a hundred thousand troops without even leaving a sip of hot soup for us brothers. What he did was really unkind."

At this moment, a messenger came hurriedly:

"General Xiahou, a letter from the Lord!"

Xiahou Dun hurried forward to take the silk, and after reading it, he suddenly looked depressed.

"What did Brother Meng De say?" Xiahou Yuan came over and asked.

"Letting us capture more prisoners can also be considered a military achievement." Xiahou Dun said helplessly.

"Some military achievements are better than nothing..." Xiahou Yuan suddenly asked the messenger, "Has the Black Mountain Army really been defeated?"

"The three Black Mountain armies have been completely defeated. The lord asked the two generals to wait for a few more days, collect more prisoners, and then return to Dongwuyang to have a drink together." The messenger said with a smile.

"What a job! I've been guarding the ferry for two and a half months, and in the end I'm just given a drink!" Xiahou Dun felt powerless to complain.

"Who says it's not true? My brother and I are both capable and good at fighting, but we end up having to rely on picking up prisoners to claim credit..." Xiahou Yuan also complained.

"Forget it, just wait a few more days." Xiahou Dun waved his hand.

……

Three days later,
Cao Cao and Cao Yan took the 4,000 captured Black Mountain soldiers with them.

And three thousand war horses,
They returned to the city of Dunqiu in a mighty manner.

So far away,

Cao Cao could see the bloodstains on the city wall.
You can imagine how brutal the siege was at that time!
Cao Ren stood outside the city to greet him, his body still wrapped in bandages.

Cao Cao, Cao Yan and others rode their horses to Cao Ren.

Cao Cao was the first to dismount and shouted, "Zixiao!"

"Congratulations, brother, on your victorious return!" Cao Ren said with a bow.

Cao Cao quickly stepped forward and held Cao Ren's arm.

Looking at the bandages on his body that were still stained with fresh blood, he couldn't help but sigh, "Thank you for your hard work."

"As long as you give me two thousand war horses, this minor injury will not be a big deal!" Cao Ren said seriously.

Cao Cao was speechless for a moment.

But after pondering for a moment, he explained:

“I have to leave this horse to Zi’an.

Zixiao, you should have seen that Zi'an has a special talent in training soldiers.

The Yuanyang Army and the three thousand new troops have successively defeated the enemy and have now become the backbone of our army. Cao Ren immediately made a bitter face and said, "Brother, you are biased."

At this time, Cao Yan came up behind Cao Cao and said, "As for training cavalry, there are actually people who are more suitable than me."

"Who is it?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"Zihe!" Cao Yan said as a matter of course.

Cao Yan had met Cao Chun before.
I saw that there were no golden entries in his entries, nor any entries related to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

So he thought,

Let Cao Chun help Cao Cao train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as in history.
When the time comes, maybe you will see a golden entry.

After all, although Cao Chun is not as famous as other generals, he is a very powerful general among Cao Wei in real history.

Whether it was Cao Cao, Wang Shen who wrote "Book of Wei", or Chen Shou, they all had very high opinions of Cao Chun.

But Cao Yan's words,
But Cao Cao thought that Cao Yan's laziness had come back again.

Old Cao glared at Cao Yan and said:

"Zihe is so injured that he can't even get out of bed. Do you have the nerve to let him train?"

"How shameless! How shameless!" Cao Yan muttered in his heart, but still said: "Just wait until he gets better."

"Zihe had over fifty wounds of varying sizes all over his body! The knife wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible."

Cao Ren said with great sorrow: "The doctor said that Zihe has lost almost half of his blood.

If you want to fully recover, you need to rest and recuperate for at least a year or two."

"..." Cao Yan was speechless, thinking to himself: "You want a warhorse, why are you also assisting in the opposite direction?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Our army is in need of men, and we cannot wait that long."

After saying that, he pulled Cao Yan over and said, "I'll give you the warhorse. Train the cavalry for me!"

Cao Yan made another excuse and said, "But I'm not good at training cavalry. I even learned how to ride a horse from Zixiu..."

"I don't care. I just want an elite cavalry. You can do whatever you want." Cao Cao said arrogantly with his hands on his hips.

Cao Yan looked hopeless, but he was powerless, so he finally compromised and said, "I can help you practice a few tricks, and when Zihe feels better, I'll let him take over."

"Okay, okay." Cao Cao grinned and consoled him, "It's not that Big Brother doesn't want you to rest, but those who are capable should do more work."

Cao Yan replied with a forced smile: "Haha."

……

One hundred thousand Black Mountain troops divided into three groups to attack Dongjun.

Even Yuan Shao was worried about his younger brother Cao Cao.

He even asked his advisers at one point whether to send troops to reinforce.

But before they could come to a conclusion,

Xu You, however, had already rushed in with the intelligence in his hand.

"Lord! Lord!!" Xu You stepped into the hall and found that Guo Tu, Ju Su and others were there.

He was stunned for a moment, then said: "Since we are all here, let's take a look at the detailed information sent back by Dongjun!"

finished,

Xu You unfolded the silk in his hand, and an attendant immediately took it and presented it to Yuan Shao.

After reading it, Yuan Shao frowned slightly.

Xu You began to explain to everyone:
"The Black Mountain Army and the Southern Xiongnu have joined forces to attack Dongjun from three directions.

Sui Gu and Yu Fuluo led 15,000 cavalrymen from Qinghe State to the south, and together with Zuo Zhizhang's 20,000-man army, they headed straight for Dongwuyang.

Yu Du led an army of 30,000 and Bai Rao led an army of 20,000, passed Dangyin and besieged Dunqiu.

This is quite a big deal.”

Everyone was silent.
