Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Return of the Heroic Army
Zhou Feng is actually Xi Zhicai's nephew?
Listening to Cao Yu's words, Wu Liang was quite surprised.
I didn't expect a little Dubo to have such a big background, but look at Cao Yu next to him...... Well, the Hsmiling Army simply changed its name to the second-generation concentration camp.
If that's the case, this Zhou Feng really won't be so easy to die.
Not to mention that Cao Yu's killing of him may affect Cao Cao's plan, and it may also affect Wu Liang's plan.
At least so far, Xi Zhicai's role in Cao Cao is still irreplaceable, if Zhou Feng dies because of this incident, although Wu Liang is a victim, it is impossible to completely get rid of the involvement.
At that time, even if Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, Cao Cao had to take into account Xi Zhicai's feelings, and would not get too close to Wu Liang, let alone reuse him.
As a result, Wu Liang would not be able to hug this thigh, and the leisurely life of robbing tombs by order would be completely shattered.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no other thighs to hold except Cao Cao.
In the end, Liu Bei, who formed the Three Kingdoms with Cao Wei, or Sun Ce, who had not yet gained momentum in Jiangdong, or Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who had the thickest thighs at this time, can all be used as a backup choice.
But the problem is that Wu Liang doesn't want to fight, let alone get involved in the war.
In history, these spare choices were finally destroyed by Cao Wei for various reasons, if he ran to these people now, if he wanted to live a stable life, he had to personally help them cheat, how could there be Cao Cao's peace of mind, and naturally he couldn't live a leisurely tomb robbery life.
But thinking about it another way, as long as Zhou Feng is expelled from the Hongren Army, Wu Liang feels that he should never have any contact with this person in the future, and it doesn't matter if he kills him or not.
Thinking like this, Wu Liang was relieved a lot, and said to Cao Yu with a smile: "Brother An Min is right, you can't affect the king's plan because of this little thing, then how Zhou Feng wants to deal with it is all up to Brother An Min's arrangement, Liang doesn't mind." ”
"Brother Xian is really a person who understands the general situation."
Seeing Wu Liang's statement, Cao Yu's heart was finally a little lighter, and he immediately hugged Wu Liang's shoulder and smiled mysteriously, "I owe you this matter, and I will definitely compensate you when I go back." ”
"Brother Anmin's words are serious."
Wu Liang always felt that Cao Yu's smile at this time was a little obscene, and a little obscene.
……
Early the next morning, the army of the people of the city set off after the morning meal.
Before leaving, Wu Liang turned back and took one last look at the foothill where the tomb of King Liang Xiao was located.
Directly north of this foothill there is a foothill of similar size, and the two mountains are almost close together, and the distance between the foot of the mountain is only about 200 meters.
The tomb of Queen Liang Xiao is hidden in the foothills of the north mountain, this tomb is praised as "the first stone chamber in the world" by the archaeological circles of later generations, the scale is larger than the tomb of King Liang Xiao, and the funerary goods are definitely more abundant.
As far as Wu Liang knows, the reason why the two mausoleums have such a situation that is contrary to the feudal society of male superiority and female inferiority.
Mainly because King Liang Xiao died relatively suddenly, when the mausoleum had to be opened urgently before it was fully completed, and Queen Liang Xiao died decades later, when the mausoleum was already ready to stop, and the scale was naturally not the same.
"Tomb of Queen Liang Xiao...... No, the tombs of the Liang royal family, wait for me obediently, and when I can use you in the future, I will come back to see your ......"
……
Seven days later.
It is stationed in the Cao army camp on the outskirts of Tan County.
"Envoy! Now there are only you and me in the tent, please forgive me and order the withdrawal of the army! ”
Xi Zhong (Zi Zhicai) grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve, blocked the front with the appearance of admonishing each other with death, and persuaded hard.
"Zhicai, you should know what I have in mind."
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Tao Qian connived at his subordinates to kill my father, this hatred is not shared, I have raised troops to recruit Tao, and now I have given up halfway, how should people in the world look at me Cao Mengde, don't everyone think that I am a good match?" Besides, it is late autumn now, if this trip can't kill Tao Qian in one go, then only wait for the cold winter to pass before the army can start again, at that time Tao Qian must be prepared, and our army's morale is damaged, and if you want to destroy him, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than today, how can I retreat? ”
"Zhong knows what the envoy thinks in his heart, so he has to persuade!"
Xi Zhong still pulled Cao Cao's sleeves and continued to persuade bitterly, "Now our army's food and salary are only enough to support three days at most, so I am afraid that Jun is planning to break the cauldron and let it go, this move is not possible, absolutely not!" ”
"Although the soldiers of our army are three times the enemy, but the city of Tanxian is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Tao Qian cannot defend it, so that if you attack strongly, you will definitely lose your troops and lose your generals, even if you are lucky to take it, it is a miserable victory, not to mention that you are surrounded by strong enemies, if someone finds out the news and takes advantage of the weakness to enter, so that you have neither food nor soldiers, how to resist it?"
"So what do you think I should do now? Can we only withdraw our troops? ”
Cao Cao knew that what Xi Zhong said was true, but he asked retortively unwillingly.
"Since ancient times, attacking the city, besieging and disturbing it is the best policy, besieging but not attacking is the middle policy, besieging and attacking it is the next policy, and now the king is forced to attack rashly because of the urgency of food and salary, and it is the next policy in the next policy!"
Xi Zhong said with a straight face, "According to Zhong's opinion, if there is no heavenly soldier to send food and salary, the king can only choose to withdraw the army, and it must be fast, otherwise when the soldiers under his command notice that the military salary is insufficient and the army is discouraged, Tao Qian can take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city to pursue, and then the envoy will be in a dilemma!" ”
“……”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's brows furrowed even tighter.
It's not that he doesn't know the soldiers, but he is more unwilling, and it can also be said that he is on top, but now he has calmed down a little under the persuasion of Xi Zhong, and his previous adventure ideas have begun to loosen.
"Food...... Salary ...... the food! ”
Cao Cao was angry in his heart, and he was depressed.
If it weren't for the food and salary constraints of this killing, he would definitely be able to kill Tao Qian in one fell swoop to avenge his father, and occupy a large area of land in Xuzhou, and then form an encirclement of Qingzhou Beihai!
At that time, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou will be connected, and half of the Central Plains will be in his hands, what a wonderful blueprint!
But now, he can only be forced to withdraw his troops and become the laughing stock of the world!
A moment later.
With a long sigh, Cao Cao seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, and waved his hand with a dejected face: "Zhicai, you go down first, I want to ...... quietly"
"Yes."
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xi Zhong already knew Cao Cao's final decision, and he also breathed a sigh of relief and quietly retreated.
At this point, only Cao Cao was left in the account.
He moved weakly, came to the table and sat down slowly, looking at the sheepskin map in front of him like a statue, motionless for a long time......
"Report ——! Lord, the Qiangren Army has returned, and it is now outside the camp! ”
Suddenly, an order came from outside the tent.
"The Wolves?"
Cao Cao first looked puzzled, as if he had completely forgotten the existence of the Qiangren Army.
But in the next second, he stood up again, and at this time there was a trace of hope in his eyes: "An Min!" An Min came back at this time, could it be ......"
