Donghai County, Yinping County.
Cao Cao's vanguard, Xiahou Dun, was stationed here.
The slaughter along the way increased the fierce-tiger-like aura of Xiahou Dun's army. The Yinping garrison surrendered without a fight!
"My lord is right!"
"These b * stards, if we don't slaughter them a few times, they won't know fear!”
Xiahou Dun was proud.
The emperor's strategy is to attack.
In Xiahou Dun's eyes.
Slaughtering villages and cities was a way to make an example out of others.
As long as they killed until people were afraid, no city would dare to defend and not surrender!
Which general would dare to take the risk of "destroying the city and leaving no one alive" to resist?
Especially when…
Facing a troop that would really slaughter a village and a city!
Who dared to resist?
Suddenly.
A scout rode his horse and reported,"
"General, a large number of refugees have appeared in Dong Hai County. They seem to be gathering in the direction of Qu County.”
A refugee?
Qu County?
Xiahou Dun dragged the map over.
Qu County was located in the easternmost coastal area of Donghai County, and it was adjacent to Guangling County in the south. Yinping County was located at the westernmost part of Dong Hai County, next to Pengcheng, the capital of Xu Prefecture.
Deputy General Han Hao glanced at the map." General, I heard that Qu County is the hometown of Mi Zhu, the governor of Xu Prefecture. Mi Zhu is also a big merchant in the East Sea and has a lot of money and food.”
Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up when he heard that.""Yuansi (Han Hao), Wenze, what do you think of us taking down Qu County?”
Cao Cao's army was short of food.
The main reason for massacring cities and villages was to intimidate the generals guarding the other cities. Another reason was that the Cao army lacked food. Massacring cities and villages could directly plunder food for military use.
Han Hao was in charge of the provisions and supplies for this vanguard, so he naturally understood Xiahou Dun's intentions.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately mentioned that Qu County had a lot of money and grain.
However, Xiahou Dun and Han Hao wanted to attack Qu County, but the military commander Yu Jin hesitated.
Qu County is too far away, and there are despotic people building forts to defend themselves.
Even if they could take it down, it would take a lot of time.
Once they were pinned down, they would be fighting their own battles with Cao Cao's main forces.
At that time.
There would be insufficient rations and weapons.
The risk was too great!
"General, the lord's order is for us to guard Yinping and guard against Qingzhou's reinforcements.”
"There's news that Kong Rong of the North Sea and Tian Kai of the Qing Province have already moved south with the intention of saving Tao Qian.”
"If we attack Qu County at this time, wouldn't we mess up the lord's plan?”
Yu Jin directly brought out Cao Cao's order.
Although he was admired by Cao Cao, his status in the army was far inferior to a relative like Xiahou Dun.
However, Yu Jin's words angered Xiahou Dun.
You, Yu Jin, are the commander of my army. Instead of giving me advice, you're using your lord to pressure me?
What did he mean?
You're not willing to be a military commander for me, Xiahou Dun, and you want to show off your talents in front of the Lord?
Immediately.
" Hmph!" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly." Wenze, don't talk about the lord's orders!" Now that our army is short of food and Qu County has food, if we can take it down, the lord will not have to worry about food!”
"If you don't go, I'll give you half of my troops to stay in Yinping!”
"When I take down Qu County, don't even think about sharing the credit!”
Xiahou Dun was displeased.
I had good intentions and wanted to give you some credit so that you could follow me, Xiahou Dun, in the future. You would be promoted and rich, and you would enjoy wealth and honor. Yet, you wanted to start a new business and run to the Lord to curry favor?
Although they were all Cao Cao's subordinates.
But which general wouldn't want to have capable generals under their command?
Xiahou Dun had originally taken a fancy to Yu Jin's talent and felt that this person could be brought up, so he wanted to take him in.
Unexpectedly, Yu Jin didn't know what to do!
Yu Jin's personality was serious and solemn.
He was a person who paid great attention to the rules of military law.
He did not realize Xiahou Dun's intentions at all. Seeing that Xiahou Dun insisted on attacking Qu County, Yu Jin was also angry.
He was the commander of the army and was in charge of military law.
Normally, these proud soldiers and generals didn't really obey the rules.
But now…
As the commander, Xiahou Dun had to take the lead in disobeying military orders.
"General, if you want to go, I will report this matter to my lord and let him make a decision!”
Damn it!
Xiahou Dun was instantly enraged and slammed the table.""Yu Wenze, you dare to use the lord to pressure me?”
Deputy General Han Hao was also unhappy. Because Yu Jin often used military law to deal with soldiers and generals who violated the rules, he was quite dissatisfied with Jin.
And now, he didn't give her any face.
Everyone followed Cao Cao, but you, Yu Jin, followed the rules?
Do we all like to disobey military orders?
"General, if the commander wants to slander us, then let him be!" Han Hao said without hesitation. When we conquer Qu County and seize the rations, will the lord blame us?”
Yu Jin was furious!
What was slander?
I'm acting according to military law. How is that calumny?
You disobeyed the lord's orders and attacked Qu County without permission. As the commander of the army, I failed to persuade you. Can't I send a message to the lord?
Yu Jin didn't know how to be flexible either. When his stubborn temper came, he directly retorted,"Han Hao! The vice general instigated the general to be punished according to the law. Do you really dare to do so?”
Damn it.
Han Hao immediately wanted to pull out his sword.
What did he mean by the vice general instigating the general?
They want me to die!
Xiahou Dun stopped Han Hao, who was about to draw his sword, and stared coldly at Yu Jin.""Yu Jin, Han Hao is my deputy general, Xiahou Dun. It's not up to you, a military commander, to berate him. I want to attack Qu County myself, so what does it have to do with my deputy general?”
"If you don't want to go, then stay in Yinping.”
"If you want to slander or report, it's up to you!”
"Yuansi, reorganize the troops, we're going to Qu County!”
"Yes!" Han Hao immediately beamed with joy.”
