Chapter 729: Tell the World
Huan Fan and Yanghu are also bright-eyed, so many treasures are indeed breathtaking, I believe that after obtaining this batch of weapons and equipment, the Bingzhou army can go to a higher level.
Cao Liang ordered all the contents of the cave to be transported, and it seems that there are still fewer people to be dispatched, and it still takes a lot of effort to empty the cave.
In the cave, a lot of skeletons were found, judging from the armor covered by the skeletons, it should be the soldiers who transported these weapons and property, in order to ensure that this secret would not be revealed, Cao Rong used a very cruel way to bury these soldiers alive here.
No one can say whether Cao Ei's methods are right or wrong, but those who achieve great things are always not afraid of small things, and for the safety of the treasure, Cao Ei will certainly not care if he sacrifices some people's lives.
These people also died to protect the treasure, Cao Liang ordered the bones to be taken out of the cave, dug some pits outside, and buried them alive, the treasure has been transported away, Cao Liang hopes that these soldiers can also be rested in peace.
After returning to Shimen Pass, Cao Liang received news that Sima's army had crossed the Yellow River in Wushejin and fully attacked Hanoi County.
The army dispatched by Sima Yi this time was not only the few men and horses led by Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao, he mobilized a lot of troops from Yuzhou this time, with the intention of fighting a decisive battle with Cao Liang in Hanoi.
However, Cao Liang secretly sneered, Sima Yi's abacus this time should have failed, the plan to move the people into the merger was completed very smoothly, about 60,000 households of Hanoi people moved into the annex, and the people and horses of each battalion have retreated safely, leaving the Sima family, I am afraid that there is only a piece of chicken feathers left.
Seeing that the spring flood season of the Yellow River is approaching, the Yellow River at this time is the most dangerous, and only when the ten-and-a-half-month flood season is over, then it is the safest to cross the river.
But the anxious Sima Zhao couldn't wait, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, he immediately urged Sima Shi to cross the river, although he also knew that the hope of rescuing his wife and children was very slim, but he always held a glimmer of hope, of course, the sooner the troops were still possible, and when the flood season of the Yellow River ended, it was really daylily cold.
Sima Shi is also more worried about the situation in Hanoi, after all, Wen County is his hometown, the foundation of the Sima family is there, the hateful Cao Liang occupied Wen County, God knows what crazy things he will do, according to the news obtained by the scouts sent out, Cao Liang forcibly relocated the people in Hanoi this time, making chickens and dogs jump, and the people complained.
Because of this, Sima Shi was also eager to prepare to cross the river, he found the old sailors on the Yellow River, asked in detail about the water situation of the Yellow River, and took advantage of the opportunity that the Yellow River flood season would not come in two or three days, he ordered Sima Jun to build a pontoon bridge and force the Yellow River to cross.
I thought that when I crossed the river, I would be blocked by Cao Liang's army, but what I didn't expect was that the river crossing operation turned out to be surprisingly smooth, on the other side of the Yellow River, except for the camp of Cao Liang's army, there was not even a shadow of a soldier.
When Sima Shi crossed the Yellow River, he found that Cao Liang's army had left, and what was in front of them was just an empty camp.
However, looking at the situation in the camp, the state army should have just left, Sima Shi crossed the river from Wushejin, which is the closest to Wen County, he reorganized his army a little, and then went straight to Wen County.
But after rushing to Wen County, I found that the four doors of Wen County were wide open, and after entering the city, except for some old people with impaired mobility and the disabled, there were really few people left in Wen County.
Not only Wen County, but also many surrounding counties, the situation is similar to Wen County, when Cao Liang was about to withdraw the army, he forcibly moved all the people of Hanoi into it, and the cruelty of the means was outrageous.
Sima Zhao cried bitterly at this time, originally he still had a faint hope, but after arriving in Wenxian County, such a last bit of hope was finally shattered, seeing that the life and death of his wife and children were uncertain, Sima Zhao was embarrassed by himself, and sorrow came from it.
At this time, a soldier came to report, and someone asked to see him, so Sima Shi summoned them in. The person who came was not an outsider, it was a few dead slaves of the Sima family, under the cover of Wang Yuanji that day, they escaped from Wen County with the little son Sima Yan, but because the Bingzhou army blocked the major ferries of the Yellow River, they could only hide in the east of Hanoi to escape the pursuit of the Bingzhou army, and now they finally waited for the Sima family's army.
Sima Zhao hugged his son and cried even more, while glad that his son was out of danger, Sima Zhao was worried about his wife Wang Yuanji, Cao Liang was a well-known madman, Wang Yuanji fell into his hands, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.
Now Cao Liang has been far away and merged with the state, leaving Sima Jia's Hanoi County, there is really only a chicken feather left, because there is no adequate strategic arrangement, Sima Shi does not dare to march to the state easily, he can only wait until the end of the Yellow River flood season, return to Luoyang, and Sima Yi after discussion, and then decide the next strategic direction.
Cao Liang returned to Shangdang and ordered Deng Ai to guard the high capital to guard against Sima Jun's attack on Shangdang.
If he fought against Sima Jun in Hanoi, Cao Liang had no certainty of winning, which was also the reason why he took the initiative to withdraw his troops from Hanoi, but when he returned to Shangdang, the situation was very different, and the characteristics of Shangdang were easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was Cao Liang's biggest reliance on defending against Sima Jun's attack.
Secondly, Cao Liang has been running the state for several years, and the conditions are on his side, and the Sima army's army will not attack, and if they dare to attack, they will inevitably suffer greatly.
However, the latest news is that after Sima Shi led his army to cross the Yellow River, he only made a circle in Hanoi and did not launch an attack on Gaodu, so in the short term, they were not ready to attack and annex the state.
Now that Cao Liang has time, it is time to announce the secret edict to the world, so that it is possible to win more allies to deal with the Sima family together.
It's just that there is no printing technology now, how can this edict be widely spread to the world, although transcription is a method, but such a large amount of work, I don't know how many people need to transcribe it to be suitable, and the transcriber's handwriting is different, and the written edict is unconvincing.
So Cao Liang found a highly skilled wood carver, transcribed the secret edict on the wooden board, and then asked the wood carver to carve out each character and the jade seal according to the original strokes, and then brushed with ink, pressed the paper on the wooden board engraving plate, and soon printed thousands of sheets, which was time-consuming and laborious.
Engraving printing came out hundreds of lives ahead of schedule.
The printed drawings were spread to all parts of the world, and the crusade against Sima Yi also officially kicked off.
