Chapter 629 The Battle of Jiuli Mountain (18)
The book is followed last time.
After hearing the words of the deputy general, Xiahou Dun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "You can't do this!
Although we only spent 10,000 troops, we may have wasted this great opportunity.
But we need to beware of another general suddenly appearing among the enemy!
If we wait for the entire army to go up and the enemy has a commanding general, then we are likely to be surrounded by the enemy. At that time, the trouble will be great!"
"A main general suddenly appeared?" After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general asked in confusion: "What does the general mean? How could the enemy have another main general?"
After Xiahou Dun looked at the enemy in the distance, he said with a serious face: "It's really hard to say!
At that time, we had received the exact news that Zang Ba had only 30,000 to 40,000 people under his command."
After saying this, Xiahou Dun pointed to the enemy army in the distance and said, "Look at the scale of the enemy army, the enemy has at least 10,000!
So, I'm afraid this matter was really guessed by the lord, and Yuan Shao sent troops to help Zang Ba!"
When the deputy heard this, he was still a little confused, so he asked, "What does this have to do with the enemy's new general?"
"You are not taught!" Xiahou Dun cursed with regret and explained to him: "In addition to Zang Ba's army, the enemy has an army of 50,000 or 60,000.
And these 50,000 or 60,000 troops must be Yuan Shao’s troops!
Since Yuan Shao sent so many troops to come, he would definitely choose one of the generals to command them!
After this general knew that Zang Ba was captured, he would definitely take over the command of the army.
In this way, the enemy has a general again?"
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general nodded in a clear way and said, "So that's it. I understand. I will arrange the army and try to test the enemy's reality in the shortest time."
After saying this, he said with regret on his face: "It's just a pity for this great opportunity!
If the enemy does not have a commander, we will definitely be able to take the enemy down in one fell swoop.
At that time, the position of the first general may still belong to the general."
"Bad!" Xiahou Dun said angrily: "Even if you are exhausted, a certain family will not be able to beat Lu Bu. How could he take back the position of the No. 1 general?"
"The general is so bad!" After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general retorted: "The position of the first general is not just about courage!
As long as the general can win repeatedly and make great contributions, he will inevitably be regarded as the number one general by everyone!
Just like General Cavalry, even if General Cavalry has no superpowers, he can still achieve such achievements with his talent alone, and he can still become General Cavalry!"
"..." Xiahou Dun was silent for a while after hearing this, nodded and said, "You are right. If a certain family works harder, they may indeed take back the position of the No. 1 general."
When the deputy general heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "So should I take a gamble this time?"
"Gambling?" Xiahou Dun asked with confusion after hearing the deputy general's words: "How to bet?"
The deputy general pointed to the army in the distance and said, "We will bet that the chief general sent by Yuan Shao cannot be like this."
Take over the army in a short time!
If the enemy generals can take over the army in time, then will we defeat the enemy after the entire army goes up?
In this way, the general made great contributions, and there was nothing Lu Bu had to do with the contributions to this battle!
Maybe the general can return to the position of the No. 1 general because of his contribution!”
"No!" Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment after hearing the deputy general's words, and immediately rejected his idea.
"General!" Seeing that Xiahou Dun refused, the deputy general immediately said anxiously: "It's a great opportunity!
As the saying goes, God will suffer the consequences!
I missed this opportunity, I don’t know how long it will take to wait to encounter such a good opportunity again!”
"Shut up!" Xiahou Dun looked at the anxious deputy general, scolded him and asked seriously: "Do you still remember the task that the Lord Bus sent me to wait for?"
"Of course I remember," the deputy general nodded and said, "The lord asked us to wait to station on the spot, line up to resist the enemy's attack, but..."
"No, but!" Before the deputy general finished speaking, Xiahou Dun waved his hand and interrupted: "A certain family really wants to regain the position of the No. 1 general.
However, a certain family cannot fight for the future of the lord because of their own selfishness!”
After saying this, he looked at the deputy general's earnest instructions and said, "You must remember that I can go and compete for credit, but all this has a premise, that is, you cannot ruin the lord's major affairs!"
After saying this, Xiahou Dun's face became more serious and said, "You are right. If we wait for the entire army to suppress this time, it is indeed very likely that the enemy will defeat the enemy before it can react!
But, have you ever thought about another possibility?
What if the enemy's chief general reacted?
What if the enemy's chief general is ready?
If what a certain family said becomes true, then we will go up to the whole army, wouldn’t it be a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth?”
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general shouted with a serious face: "Even if what the general said becomes true, I will fight them all. My subordinates are not afraid of death!"
"Oh..." Xiahou Dun sighed helplessly when he heard this, and said, "I know that you are not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death!
But what should the lord do after I die?
The lord entrusted the main army to a certain family. After the lord had caused these army to harm, wouldn't the lord be surrounded by the enemy in Jiuli Mountain?
How do you want a certain family to be worthy of your lord’s trust?
At that time, even if a certain family dies, it will be difficult to rest in peace!”
After saying this, he looked at the deputy general with a somewhat ugly face and comforted him: "Remember, I can fight, grab, or even grab it!
However, all of this is based on the interests of the lord!
Only when we guarantee the interests of the lord can we pursue the position of the No. 1 general,"
"..." After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general immediately fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed, nodded, and said, "I understand what the general said.
The subordinates will definitely take what the general said as the criterion and will never harm the interests of the lord."
After saying that, the deputy general's face was a little sad.
The reason why he strongly suggested that Xiahou Dun take this credit was that he had his own selfish intentions.
He is Xiahou Dun's deputy general, and all his honor and disgrace are all due to Xiahou Dun. With Xiahou Dun's status, he can also rise.
In the past, Xiahou Dun was the number one general under Cao Cao's command. At that time, the status of deputy general was almost comparable to that of some ordinary generals.
At that time, countless people flattered him and wanted to get involved with Xiahou Dun.
Although the deputy general has always been keeping his duties and has not contacted these people.
But he inevitably felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.
After Xiahou Dun fell from the position of the No. 1 general, those who used to flatter him now don't even look at him directly.
This gap made him feel a little uncomfortable.
And it is precisely because of this that he tried his best to get Xiahou Dun back to the position of the No. 1 general.
"That's right!" After hearing the words of the deputy general, Xiahou Dun patted his shoulder with relief and asked with a smile: "Can you know what you think, too.
Did you feel empty after a certain family fell from the position of the No. 1 general?”
"This..." After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general's face suddenly turned red.
He didn't expect that Xiahou Dun could see through his thoughts.
In the past, he always thought that Xiahou Dun was a reckless man who only knew how to beat and kill.
Now it seems that this is just his wishful thinking.
"Haha..." Xiahou Dun looked at the deputy general with a flushed face and said with a smile: "Don't be ashamed of this matter. Who doesn't want to take power in life? It is natural for you to have such a mind.
Don't worry, a certain family will not be depressed because of the fall of the No. 1 general."
After saying this, he patted the deputy general's shoulder hard, looked at the sky with a melancholy face and said, "You must know that today is a chaotic world, and countless battles are waiting for us.
Although a certain family cannot make all the contributions in this battle, we still have many opportunities to make contributions in the future!
At that time, a certain family will definitely find ways to make a huge contribution and then take back the position of the No. 1 general!"
After hearing Xiahou Dun's bold words, the deputy general's face was immediately filled with excitement.
Then, he bowed to Xiahou Dun and said loudly: "My subordinates will do their best to help the general regain the position of the No. 1 general!"
"Okay!" Xiahou Dun nodded with relief after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then hurry up and dispatch the army to test the enemy's reality."
"Here!" After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the deputy general immediately bowed and agreed loudly.
Then, he turned around with a full face and headed towards the army.
