Chapter Seventy-Two: Cao Cao's Compromise Intended to Marriage
"I hope the general keeps his promise! Treat fuck wife and children well. ”
"Meng De, rest assured, your wife and concubine are my wife and concubine, you should be my son, I will treat them the same as my own wife and children, and I will never let them suffer the slightest grievance."
Zhang Xiu swore and patted her chest to reassure.
Cao Cao: "??? ”
Why didn't he feel right? I always feel that Zhang Xiu has bad intentions. And hasn't this sentence been said to others all along?
"Ahem, Youwei don't bother, your sister-in-law and wife will live in Xinye for a while, don't be too polite, they will be taken care of." Cao Cao pursed the corners of his lips and said worriedly.
"Hehe, Meng De, don't worry!"
Cao Cao has a black face, I don't worry about your uncle. He had just gotten married, and he came out to fight before the bed was hot, and he was a little coveted when he thought about his delicate face.
But fortunately, there is still a month left, and he should be able to see each other a few times after returning to the army.
"But Meng De, it's only a horse away to deliver the message to Xuchang, and it can be arrived in two days at most. Xuchang is far from Xinye, and judging from the carriage, it can be reached in seven days at most. ”
"Why do you need thirty days?"
"That's it, within ten days, I want to see my sister-in-law and Ling Lang in Xinye, if it is feasible, I will take this alliance under the city, if not, then we will sit back and watch Yuan Shu become the emperor, do you think?"
Zhang Xiu said with a smile, how could he not know Cao Cao's intentions, stay for thirty days and not say whether Cao Cao would regret it, just because he could be happy a few times when he returned to the army, it was shameless.
This wishful thinking Zhang Xiu will definitely not let him succeed.
Cao Cao's chest was stuffy, and he gritted his steel teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Xiu, don't deceive people too much." ”
"Lord, you should focus on the overall situation!"
Guo Jiasheng was afraid that Cao Cao would be angry, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
There's no way, whoever says it's them who loses. Now the morale of the three armed forces is low, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat in another battle. If Cao Cao wins, Zhang Xiu may not even be qualified to negotiate.
But at the moment, we must first solve the danger of Yuan Shu.
Otherwise, the Son of Heaven will be useless, but will become a burden.
Cao Cao's face was dark, his body trembled, and after a long time, he relieved himself, and said expressionlessly: "On the tenth day, they went to Xinye, and the rank of chariot and cavalry general was enshrined together. ”
After speaking, Cao Cao threw up his sleeves and left, looking depressed.
He Cao Cao has been fighting all his life, how can he talk about this kind of treaty, he is ashamed.
"Brother Cao go slowly," Zhang Xiu got up, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, he could be regarded as using Yuan Shu to claim the emperor to make some money.
On the same day, Zhang Xiu led the army back thirty miles.
Cao Cao led the army to abandon Yecheng and returned to the army.
At the head of the city, looking at Cao Jun in the distance.
Zhang Xiu honestly wanted to lead the army to cover up, but Cao Cao would not trust him so much, and it is estimated that he also has a backhand. What's more, as Guo Jia said, Yuan Shao is difficult to resist.
Even if he can defeat Cao Cao, there are no eggs under the nest, and the influence of the Yuan family is too great, and it is not something he can compete with at present.
"Lord, although our army has formed an alliance with Cao Cao, Cao Cao is ruthless and must be guarded against." Xu Shu said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said coldly: "He won't fall out with me in a short time, but I naturally won't believe him." Wenpin, you lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to garrison Yecheng, and you must ensure that Yecheng is safe. ”
"The last general commands!" Wen Ping said excitedly.
Zhang Xiu can let him be stationed at the border, which shows that in Zhang Xiu's opinion, he can already take charge of himself, and he must not live up to the wishes of the lord.
"Hansheng, you lead the three armies to rest for three days and prepare for the class. Zilong and I led the light cavalry back to the army first. Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.
"No!" Huang Zhong looked majestic and resolute, and responded.
…………
In the second year of Jian'an, March.
Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu made peace with the army, became allies, and swore not to disturb each other, known as the alliance under the city!
As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of the princes of the world.
Among them, the most frightened are Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others, once Cao Cao frees up his hands, it will definitely be them who will clean up.
In the same year, mid-March.
Because of Yuan Shu's rebellion, the Son of Heaven was furious, and he issued a special notice to the world and ordered all the princes to fight Yuan Shu together. For a time, the princes of the world responded one after another, but they all responded to the edict but did not use troops.
Among them, Sun Ce officially announced his separation after Yuan Shu became emperor, and Guangling Huiji and others were all returned to Sun Ce. As a result, as soon as Yuan Shu became emperor, most of the forces were abolished.
……
At this time, the pseudo-capital Shouchun City.
Yuan Shu held the letter raft, and his whole popularity trembled.
"Hmph, it's just Cao Cao's defeat, but this Sun Ce child turned against me, and I still valued him so much." Yuan Shu had a hateful expression and slapped the letter raft on the crime.
"Ji Ling listened to the order, and you were the general, leading the army of 50,000, crossing the river to destroy Sun Ce, and letting him know the price of rebellion."
"Your Majesty, no!" Yan Xiang came out of the queue and said urgently.
"Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, has called on the princes of the world to crusade against Your Majesty, now you should go all out to deal with Cao Cao, and it is not too late to cross the river to annihilate Sun Ce after repelling Cao Cao."
"That's right, it's just that Sun Ce'er is too hateful." Yuan Shu's face was displeased, he sat down again, and then raised his eyebrows and asked,
"Aiqing, Cao Cao's soldiers are full of food, and he has ordered the princes of the world to crusade against me, what do you say!"
"Hey, the Han family still exists, but Your Majesty didn't listen to me and insisted on being the emperor, and now everyone is shouting and beating, it really shouldn't be!" Yan Xiang shook his head helplessly.
"For today's plan, the only way is to stick to it."
"Help? With whom to help? Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, the last thing he wanted to face was Cao Cao, because he couldn't beat him at all, and he was all beaten out of the shadows.
"Xuzhou Lu Bu,"
"This person is greedy and unscrupulous, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. And as far as Weichen knows, Lu Bu has a daughter who is not married, and the lord can send someone to propose marriage to the eldest son, and marry Lu Bu for Qin and Jin. ”
"In addition, this person can be allowed to be a general of the chariot and cavalry, and the grain and grass will be 100,000 hundred. As long as Lu Bu helps and sends troops to attack Cao Cao's old nest Xuchang, then this battle will be solved. ”
Yan Xiang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
In this plan, the only thing he was worried about was Chen Gong.
After all, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and being pulled into the chariot by Yuan Shu at this time is tantamount to rebelling with the thief, and he is bound to be attacked by a group.
"Very good, very good! Come on, immediately rush to Xuzhou, Xu Lu Bucha rode the general, and proposed for Yao'er. Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, there is one more person who may be able to be wooed." Yan Xiang thought about it for three breaths and hugged his fists.
Aiqing said bluntly.
"Nanyang Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu has repeatedly defeated Cao Cao, if there is this person to help, Cao Cao is not worried, and even the lord can send troops to Xuchang." Yan Xiang said with a solemn expression.
"Zhang Xiu? Isn't it an alliance with Cao Cao? ”
"Your Majesty, the heroes of the world gather for profit, and their alliance with Cao Cao is just driven by interests, but it doesn't mean that they can't form an alliance with us."
"Your Majesty, you think, Zhang Xiu has formed an alliance with our army, and Cao Cao is naturally invincible. And His Majesty is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, only His Majesty can compete with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Zhang Xiu will not necessarily refuse. ”
Yan Xiang's eyes were like torches.
Yuan Shu nodded, quite agreeing, and said eagerly: "Aiqing thinks how to win over Zhang Xiu?" ”
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu is not yet married, so you can send someone to take the princess to Xinye to marry Zhang Xiu and become good friends of Qin and Jin. If you want to come to the princess with a national appearance, Zhang Xiu can't refuse. ”
Yan Xiang replied.
"Yes, send someone else to bring 10,000 taels of gold to show my sincerity." Yuan Shu said solemnly.
"Your Majesty is wise." In the hall, all the civil and military people drank together.
…………
The court will disperse, Shouchun Palace.
There are hundreds of side halls of different sizes one after another, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.
Although Yuan Shu is incompetent, he is true to himself.
He had put a lot of thought into building this palace alone, but it was really comfortable to live in, and there were hundreds of Mei Ji, and Feng was the most numerous.
Feng is the daughter of Feng Fang, with a different color, Yuan Shu happened to see it when he went to the city, and because of his lust, he forcibly accepted him as a wife and concubine.
In later generations, there are poems, there are two bridges in Jiangbei, and Fan Zhenqiao in Hebei. Central Plains Feng beauty, Diao Chan is the first wonderful.
It is also recorded in the history books that this woman is stunning, Yuan Shu has a lot of favors, and in the end, he was jealous of the harem concubines and jointly strangled her, which is a pity.
At this time, the side hall is located.
Yuan Shu walked slowly, looking very irritable.
"Your Majesty, why are you so worried?" Feng Shi was dressed in a pale yellow dress, and a belt outlined her figure, and at this time, she quickly stepped up to meet her and took off her robe with her hand.
"It's not that Cao Cao, I call the emperor what to do with him, and he wants to raise troops to fight against me, it's really hateful." Yuan Shu looked displeased and said angrily.
"Oh yes, I want to marry the eldest princess to Zhang Xiu and marry foreign aid. Later, Aifei, you go and talk to her, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and you will leave tomorrow! ”
Hearing this, Feng's willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
She fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she said softly: "Your Majesty, Shaoyi is not familiar with the world, and it may be inappropriate to go alone this time. ”
"It's better for the concubine to secretly accompany Shaoyi over, so that she can take care of her. What's more, the concubine's chest has been a little stuffy recently, and she wants to go out for a walk. ”
Since Yuan Shu ascended the throne, he has obviously noticed the viciousness of the harem dispute. It is not good with this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect my life if it goes on like this, so I want to run away from Shaoyi to marry to avoid disasters.
(Note: Shaoyi, the daughter of Yuan Shu, the history is Yuan, and the name cannot be examined.) After the defeat of Yuan Shu, he was obtained by Sun Quan, and when he saw his beauty, he accepted him as his wife and concubine. )”
"You're going too?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, Shaoyi is still young, and I'm afraid I'm not good at words. And Zhang Xiu has repeatedly defeated Cao thieves, this time he must be befriended, right? Feng Bei gritted his silver teeth and persevered.
This is her only chance to get out of the palace!
If she fails to leave the palace this time, she will probably die in it soon.
Yuan Shu pondered, Shouchun is not far from Xinye, even if Zhang Xiu does not agree to the marriage, it will only take more than a month to go back and forth, not for a long time.
"Well, concubine, you can clean up, and tomorrow you will be Shaoyi's portable maid to go over together. In this way, she can be considered to have a care along the way. ”
"When this is over, I'm sending someone to fetch you back."
Yuan Shu was quite reluctant.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng was delighted.
......
Shinno, outside the city.
Tens of thousands of people heard that Zhang Xiu was triumphant today, and they had already come spontaneously to greet each other.
For a long time, the north of the city was dusty.
Gradually, the iron rider appeared.
Looking at it from afar, a murderous aura rushed to his face.
There was a slight gap when this iron horse walked together, and when I looked at it at this time, I felt a little more cold, and a little more solemn.
Near
I saw Jia Xu at the front, followed by Xinye's civil and military forces, and at this time, they all bowed their hands and said, "I congratulate the general on his victory." ”
"I, the grass people, wish the general a triumphant."
Zhang Xiu's expression was solemn, his spear was in the sky, and he said in a deep voice: "The three armies have entered the city." ”
As the words fell, thousands of iron horsemen moved in unison, raising their guns and spears in their hands in unison, pointing obliquely at the sky, and at the same time, the three armies shouted with incomparable killing intent.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, those iron horsemen marched into the city with their heads held high and went straight to the school grounds.
On campus,
Zhang Xiu glanced at everyone, and then said: "Brothers, you are all heroes in this battle, and I will be proud of you." I'll give you five days to go dashing or go home. ”
The words fell, and the three armies rejoiced.
"Zilong, go to Jia Xu to allocate a military salary and distribute it for their expenses in the past few days." Zhang Xiu was solemn, and after speaking, he looked at the iron cavalry of the three armies, and shouted,
"For five days, you will eat and have fun, and after five days, you will practice daily, and if you have sparse bows and horses, you will be expelled from the Xiaoqi camp." Zhang Xiu's voice didn't seem like a joke.
"No!" Thousands of horsemen drank in unison.
Their expressions were solemn, and they were so considerate of their lord, how could they not give up their lives?
"Alright, let's all disperse!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand.
When you leave the camp, you want to leave.
He also left for a short time on this trip, and he was very homesick, especially his aunt.
"My lord, the military advisor ordered his subordinates to send a message, saying that the envoys from Jingzhou were here, and they also brought a lot of grain, grass and cloth, and the military advisor asked the lord to come over." A horse galloped and hugged his fists.
Zhang Xiu's face was dark, reluctant.
This Jingzhou envoy is really hateful, disturbing himself to see his aunt, if he gives more things, forget it, if he has less, he doesn't want him to care.
Thinking about it, he went with the guards.
