Chapter 986

As for the other members of Cao Cao's army, such as Xia Houdun, the prefect of Dongjun, Cao Ren, the prefect of Donghai, and man Pang, the prefect of xiapi, all arranged 10000 Chinese troops of Cao Cao's headquarters to help them guard the place.

But in Taishan County Cao Charlie's nearly 20000 troops, Cao Cao had other uses, so he did not mention it in the discussion.

Later, Cao Cao ordered that three thousand Chinese troops of Pei state should be transferred to Suiyang and be led by Jia Kui, the Prime Minister of Liang state. In this way, there were six thousand elite Chinese troops and eight thousand soldiers in Suiyang city.

Then he ordered that five thousand soldiers from Shanyang should be transferred to Dingtao and be under the command of Ren Jun, the Taishou of Jiyang. In addition, Ren Jun had his own five thousand soldiers, ten thousand soldiers from the central camp and ten thousand soldiers from prefectures and states. In total, thirty thousand people were defending in Dingtao city.

In this way, Cao Cao's own elite of the Chinese army was only 40000 troops left, including 30000 Qingzhou soldiers, 10000 hubaoqi, and 20000 prefectures and soldiers in Changyi city. Cao Cao led the 60000 troops in the middle.

Like Huangfu Chaobo, it took Cao Cao almost a day to decide all the plans. Then Cao Cao left only Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and Xia Houyuan, the commander of the western expedition, to let the others go.

After everyone left, Cao Cao stood up, looked at Sima Yi thoughtfully and said, "Zhongda, will we succeed this time?"

"Return to my Lord." after several failures, Sima Yi has lost her original spirit and blind self-confidence. Hearing Cao Cao's question, she bowed down and said, "it's up to us to plan things, and it's up to us to do things. We've confirmed with several gentlemen that although we don't say it's safe, we are sure that we can do it. Besides, we still have a way to go, plus the words there, we should be able to do it Seventy or eighty percent of them are sure to capture Qingzhou. "

Xia Houyuan looked at their conversation in a dazed way, but he didn't ask. He knew that his elder brother had something to do when he left him. He just looked at them quietly.

"Is everything in order?"

"No problem!" This time, Sima Yi confidently replied;

"well, you can give miaocai a detailed explanation. After all, he is the leader of the western expedition."

Sima Yi bowed himself to accept the order and led Xia Houyuan to the front of the map to introduce him in detail. When Sima Yi finished speaking, Xia Houyuan was already surprised. When he looked at Sima Yi, he did not despise him.

After hearing this, Xia Houyuan said to Cao Cao, "Meng De, don't worry. This time, I will take two counties of Qingzhou for you."

"I'm always at ease with Miao Cai's actions. There's another important purpose to capture Qingzhou," Cao Cao nodded, walked slowly to the front of the map, pressed down in two places, and said, "these two cities are the lifeblood of Huangfu Chaobo, especially here. Miao CAI must find a way to capture here and take all the craftsmen."

When Xia Houyuan looked at the place Cao Cao pointed to, he immediately realized that Cao Cao pointed to the two port cities of Huangfu Chaobo: Shuanghe city and Qingdao city.

Indeed, as Cao Cao said, these two places were the lifeblood of Huangfu Chaobo. As for Huangfu Chaobo, the whole Qingzhou County and the two counties could not be taken away, but these two cities must be preserved, especially the craftsmen.

Seeing that Xia Houyuan had understood it, Cao Cao saw it to Sima Yi and Cheng Yu. After a little meditation, he said, "Mr. Cheng has a plan and can judge major events. In this western expedition, Mr. Cheng will go to miaocai army to serve as a military adviser."

"I'll take orders!" Cheng Yu's face coolly arched his hand to accept orders, and then turned to XiaHouYuan and said, "please take care of general miaocai!"

"I'm flattered. I'm more relieved to have your help." Xia Houyuan quickly replied;

Sima Yi's face was a flash of disappointment, but it was a flash.

A few days later, Liu Ye, another commander of Cao Cao's army, escorted by Cao Anmin, the general of Cao Cao's army, and 5000 Qingzhou soldiers, appeared in the fenggao city of Taishan county. Facing the sudden appearance of 5000 troops and Liu Ye, Cao Charlie was surprised. However, he was relieved that there were only 5000 soldiers. Moreover, after Cao Anmin's army arrived, he didn't immediately enter the city, instead, he would be killed The army set up outside the city, and then led a hundred bodyguards to guard Liu Ye into the city.

After entering the prefect's residence, Cao Charlie said to Liu Ye, "what's the matter with you

Liu Ye said: "please hold back your majesty. The next officer has brought the Lord's military order!"

Although Cao Charlie felt strange, he still waved the others out according to his request, leaving Xu Zhu by his side.

After everyone stepped down and only four of them were left in the room, Liu Ye handed a letter hidden in his arms to Cao Charlie and said, "please open it in front of the next officer now. After reading it, destroy it immediately."

Charlie Cao said in his heart, "which play is Cao A-man singing? That's a lot of talk. "

Although I think so in my heart, I am not slow in my hand. I quickly open the letter Liu Ye handed me and read it at a glance.

"Ah Rao is Cao Charlie had some preparation in mind, but was still frightened by the content of the letter."Can you see it?" Liu Ye said solemnly;

"well, ah! Oh, yes

"In the next time, the 5000 Qingzhou troops of Ye and Anmin will always carry out the following military orders together with the prefect!"

"That's great. There are five thousand talents of Mr. Cao and general Cao. I don't worry about Zang ba. I'll trouble Mr. Cao and general Cao later." With the help of five thousand Qingzhou soldiers, Charlie Cao couldn't be unhappy. As for the following things, he couldn't say anything else except admiration.

After that, he immediately ordered Haosheng to entertain Qingzhou soldiers outside the city. Then he personally hosted a banquet for Liu Ye and Cao Anmin, and also discussed the issue of sending troops to pacify Zang ba.

In fact, he had long wanted to deal with Zang BA's Taishan army as soon as possible, but he was short of elite troops. Facing Zang BA's Taishan army, which is a mountain army, he had more heart than strength. Today, with the 5000 Qingzhou soldiers under the command of Cao Anmin, things are much easier to handle. Qingzhou soldiers are also the elite of Mount Tai. Although their mountain fighting ability can't compare with Zang BA's Mount Tai soldiers, they are more than tens of percent better than Cao Charlie's own tiger guards.

According to Cao Cao's request, Cao Charlie must bring down all Taishan County after the spring of next year and before March, and then draw out a large army to take part in the attack on Qingzhou. Therefore, he sent Liu Ye and Cao Anmin to lead 5000 Qingzhou soldiers to help.
