Chapter 174: Cao Zhang's Decision
I don't know if Cao Zhang woke up from alcohol or sleep, anyway, just after the ugly time, Cao Zhang stood up from Cao Cao's side.
Looking at his father's closed eyes, Cao Zhang secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, wiped away the tears, and chuckled, "Father, the child is leaving, if there is a chance in the future, the child will go to your tomb to pay respects!"
After finishing speaking, he walked outside, as for Cao Pi, who was still guarding his father before Cao Cao's spiritual throne with his eyes closed, he didn't say anything when Cao Zhang left, Cao Pi didn't know if he heard his movements, and he didn't open his eyes, and the two of them staggered away.
As for Xu Chu, who was still guarding the door, he didn't even look at Cao Zhang's appearance, and Xu Chu at this time seemed to die with Cao Mengde's death, and his own heart also died.
"General Xu Chu!" Although Xu Chu didn't pay attention to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang took the initiative to stand by Xu Chu's side, "A certain family hopes that General Xu Chu can follow a certain family for a trip, if you can, you may need to follow a certain family in the future!" ”
Xu Chu lowered his head and glanced at Cao Zhang, but he didn't pay attention to him or move his steps.
Cao Zhang knew that he couldn't call this general when he looked like this, but before he could persuade him more, Cao Pi's voice suddenly came from inside.
"General Zhongkang, go with Ziwen! From today onwards, Lonely, the son of the lonely, will keep a vigil for his father, you can rest assured! ”
Cao Pi's words made Xu Chu feel at ease, his main purpose here was to accompany his lord more, and he didn't want his lord to stay in this empty mourning hall so lonely, his lord had worked hard all his life, and he couldn't end up lonely like this.
"Then, the last general will follow Yan Linghou for a trip!" Xu Chu said hummingly, he didn't even have time to rest these days, and his speech was sullen, "I don't know where Yan Linghou wants to go?" ”
"A certain family's battalion!" Cao Zhang chuckled, and took the lead in walking, and Xu Chu also resumed his state of not saying a word again, and followed behind Cao Zhang.
When the Tiger Guards along the way saw the two of them, maybe they had the idea of stopping Cao Zhang, but when they saw Xu Chu holding a big knife and wearing armor and helmets behind them, they all held back their thoughts one by one.
Cao Zhang took back his mount and blade, and walked outside slowly, Xu Chu still followed him without saying a word, and the Cao soldiers who were on patrol at night saw that these two people stopped respectfully and saluted them.
It can be seen that these soldiers are sincere in this ceremony, because the prestige of Cao Zhang and Xu Chu in the army is not equal to what is incomparable, not to mention Xiahoudun, a general who has a solid rear type, Cao Zhang and Xu Chu are two completely different models.
Cao Zhang has been on the battlefield for many years, and he can be regarded as half a general, especially when he has hardly been on the frontal battlefield with Liu Xuande in Xichuan and Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong over the years, he has been attacking and killing those foreign races in the frontier and defending the frontier, this kind of person may not be very popular with the family in the Central Plains, but he is still very popular in the hearts of the soldiers.
Especially now that the conscription, most of them are still those men from the frontier, because they are facing foreign rangers and sword soldiers all the year round, compared to other places, the people of the northern frontier are more brave and more able to adapt to killing, after all, it is not like a few years ago, almost everyone can pick up a knife and go to the battlefield The era has passed.
Most of their soldiers were recruited from the frontier, although there were occasional rebellions in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places in the Central Plains, but most of them were still too comfortable, they had begun to pick up farm tools again, put down their knives and guns for a long time, where is there still the fierceness of the people in the northern frontier?
The suffering that Cao Zhang has endured in the frontier over the years, and the prestige he has played, are already famous in this big man, especially under the command of the Cao family!
As for Xu Chu, it is not the same as Cao Zhang, Xu Chu's prestige is his bravery, although Cao Zhang is also very brave, but Xu Chu guards Cao Cao's side all the year round, and many enemy generals who cannot be solved are finally solved by Xu Chu, the pro-guard general.
Even before Cao Zhang's appearance, Xu Chu was once considered by Cao Jun to be the number one general under Cao Cao! Of course, now that Cao Zhang is out of office, Xu Chu is still very popular.
Now the two of them are walking on the streets of Luoyang, how many soldiers see them are extremely envious, maybe Cao Zhang and Cao Pi have a lot of stories, maybe Cao Zhang is now a hot potato in the eyes of many people, afraid that he will cause some trouble but cherish his bravery, but in the hearts of these soldiers, Cao Zhang is the general they admire, and Xu Chu is the general they envy.
"General Xu Chu, the last time I saw you, you persuaded a certain family to go back, and come here again today, I hope you don't be surprised!" Cao Zhang waited until those soldiers left, not far from the city gate, and restrained the war horse to let himself listen, and Xu Chu listened, "The general may forgive Cao Zhang?" ”
"You are the third son, and you are also the son-in-law of the lord, and you have no right to interfere with your choice!" Xu Chu said in a muffled voice, not representing any emotion in his tone, "It's just that now Xu Chu is a general under the command of King Wei, so he must obey the command of King Wei!" ”
"General Xu Chu doesn't need to mention Yu Mou, the general's meaning is understood by a certain family, I think my eldest brother also said that since a certain family is here, he will plan to do something again, the father of a certain family is no longer alive, and a certain family does not want to make his mother angry to death, and he may want to do this kind of thing in the same room, but he doesn't have the courage, as for a certain family, he has the courage, but a certain family doesn't have this idea!"
"The third prince thinks so, that's naturally the best!"
"At that time, the eldest brother asked so-and-so, did you regret it!" Cao Zhang suddenly laughed, "It's only more than 300 miles from here to Chang'an, and it's only more than 300 miles from here to Yecheng. ”
"It's over, Childe doesn't mind it!" Xu Chu gave a rare advice, "Sometimes, this is something that should be in life, and sometimes, this thing will not be yours, and it is useless to force it!" ”
"Hahaha, Uncle Zhongkang rest assured, a certain family knows this truth, a certain family just wants to say that a certain family has never regretted it, the Qiang people in the northwest are in chaos, and the generals in Xiliang are brave and brave, but they are not smart enough, the damn Qiang people are endlessly tossing in Wuwei, Jiuquan and Zhangye, a certain family just can't stand it, even if they know that it will delay the big thing, but a certain family still wants to kill them!"
After saying this, Cao Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's just a pity, a certain family is sorry for the people of the three counties, not only did they go late, but they were not able to eliminate the evil, they are really worthy of their trust!" ”
"Childe..."Xu Chu looked at Cao Zhang, who looked like this, and suddenly understood why his lord had to let Cao Zhang come to see him at the end, not for anything else, just because Cao Zhang's personality was too similar to him at some times, especially in dealing with foreign races.
Cao Zhang and Cao Pi are completely different, although Xu Chu did not take the initiative to find out anything, but after Cao Cao's death, the part of the school that belonged to him did not stop running, and some news could still reach his ears, and one of the things that made him the most heartbroken was.
When Cao Pi got the news of going to Luoyang, Liaodong's Hui Qian, Fu Yu Shan Yu, and Yanqi from the Western Regions, Yu Khotan King two adults all got the news at the same time, who got the news, it is naturally needless to say, as the king of Wei, I don't think about how to calm the world, this ally is very fast.
For this matter, although Xu Chu didn't say anything, of course he didn't deserve to say anything, but when he thought of this, he was still very uncomfortable, on the contrary, he saw Cao Zhang, for the sake of foreign things, threw away the position of King Wei, rushed to Xiliang to fight with them, and even said that he was joking with his future, and he didn't know what he thought.
"Third prince, the matter of Xiliang will be solved, you can rest assured, although the king of Wei is now dealing with those aliens... It's quite friendly to them, but in your bones you are all the same, and the king of Wei will not be soft on foreign races, so don't worry! ”
"That's the big brother's business, it has nothing to do with a certain family, a certain family will be honest as a rich man in the future, hunting and shooting every day, drinking and having fun every day, before taking the daughter of the Sun family, always calling a certain family to hunt together, but unfortunately always can't take care of it, now it's okay, I finally have time to accompany my wife and children!"
While speaking, Cao Zhang couldn't help laughing, maybe in his thoughts, it is also a kind of happiness to be able to live with his wife and children and live a good life quietly.
However, Xu Chu on the side looked at Cao Zhang, who was only thirty years old, but he was a little surprised, he now remembers that Cao Zhang was still young, and the lord was very young at that time, so he summoned all the children in the house to him and asked them about their ambitions.
Everyone says differently, and the reasons for the statement are also different, but only Cao Zhang said it very briefly, so it is good!
As for the reason, he said it more concisely, he was willing to gallop on the battlefield, he liked the battlefield, Cao Zhang didn't say anything at the beginning that he was willing to calm the world for his father, nor did he say as his father said when he was a child, hoping that he would be able to engrave a sentence on his tombstone after his death, the tomb of the general of the Han Dynasty.
is to simply tell everyone that he just likes to kill and kill, and he likes to fight on the battlefield, so while learning literature, his martial arts strategy and his bravery are also increasing day by day, and even the lord constantly praises Cao Zhang, and his bravery is extraordinary!
But now this brave and extraordinary son of Cao Zhang, Yan Linghou of the Han Dynasty, is going to take off this uniform when he is thirty years old, the best years, and then retire to the countryside, and never ask about war or talk about the art of war, this kind of day may be a kind of happiness for others, but here in Cao Zhang, this is sadness!
"That's it!" Cao Chang interrupted Xu Chu's words, looking at the city gate not far away, although the night was still dark, but he saw that there were shadows on it, thinking that the group of people who were not worried about themselves were already waiting above, "General Xu Chu, if you go on, those people above are in a hurry!" ”
"Childe, please, go back early, this city gate can be closed early!" Xu Chu sighed, patted the horse's belly gently, and followed Cao Zhang to continue walking forward.
Until they reached the gate of the city, the argument above was not over, and Wu Zhen, who had not succeeded in assassinating Cao Zhang, found Xiahoudun again.
"Now is a good opportunity, this kind of opportunity will not be there again, Cao Zhang is about to go out, and as soon as he gets out of the city gate, he will immediately close the city gate, and then after the last arrow rain in the city, he Cao Zhang will definitely be killed by ten thousand arrows through his heart, not to mention the army outside the city, not to mention the claim of 200,000, is really 200,000, that is also a rootless level, it can be easily broken!"
For Wu Qian's words, Xiahoudun just sneered and glanced at him, and didn't even have the heart to answer, at this time, Cao Zhangdu went in by himself, went out by himself, and followed by Xu Chu, Cao Cao's personal general, with his understanding of Xu Chu, if Cao Zhang dared to be presumptuous to Cao Pi in the mourning hall, he would definitely chop this guy, instead of walking out with him so slowly now, since Cao Zhang didn't want to make trouble, then let him leave like this, it was the best.
However, Xiahoudun was silent, but Wu Zhen refused to let him go, seeing that Xiahoudun could not persuade him, he actually ran to the concubine Bian and persuaded Bian.
"Concubine! Now that Cao Zhang is coming with a large army, what kind of wolf ambition can make him do this, has he ever thought about the former king who has died, has he ever thought about the successor King Wei, has he ever thought about the family relationship between father and son and brother! ”
Bian Shi listened to Wu Qian's chattering words, the anger in his chest was getting bigger and bigger, he already felt very sorry for his son, she gave birth to four sons to her husband, except for the frail and sickly Cao Xiong, the remaining three, all of them were talents.
At the beginning, the eldest son Cao Pi and the second son Cao Zhi competed, she was already in a dilemma, and once wanted to find a temple like the Ding family, and then cut off the three thousand troubles from then on, and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha no longer asked about these things!
In the end, although Cao Pi won and Cao Zhi failed, but in the end he was still alive, although Mrs. Bian felt sorry for her young son, but after all, this kind of thing, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she can only let them develop by themselves, I just hope that both of them will be fine.
As a result, it was not easy to survive until Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and now her third son appeared again, although she also knew that her third son was more inclined to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and it was inevitable to be able to compete for this position, but she also knew that her son's utilitarianism was not as heavy as his two elder brothers, he was just unwilling to die at home so old, because one thing everyone understands is that if someone else succeeds to the throne, then Cao Zhang will not go to the battlefield again in his life, Because no one dared to hand over the soldiers to such a god-like figure.
Now that Bian has just lost his husband, he doesn't know what it's like in his heart, and at this time, Wu Zhen is still persuading himself to give the order to shoot his own son, where is this Wu Zhen is not clear, he has no brains!
Looking at Wu Qian, who was still chattering and admonishing hard, Bian's face was extremely cold, "Lord Wu, do you want the old man to lose a son again after losing her husband?" ”
This sentence is ugly enough, and everyone who hears this sentence can't help but tremble in their hearts, although they know that the anger in this sentence is because of this unsightly Wu Qian, but everyone feels the coldness in this tone!
It's a pity, I don't know if Wu Zhen really didn't know or pretended not to hear it, anyway, after hearing Bian's words, this guy not only did not restrain himself, but became even more presumptuous.
"Concubine! You are the mother of the King of Wei, the eldest wife of the first king, and the concubine of the Wei State, how can you abolish the public for personal reasons! Zuo Chuan once said that righteousness destroys relatives, what it is! Now this Yanling Hou Cao Zhang, without the permission of the King of Wei, led a large army privately, and firmly besieged Luoyang, what is this? This is a rebellion! Kill! Kill! ”
Bian Shi looked at Wu Zhi, who was angry, as if he was more angry than her, and suddenly felt an incomparable pain in his heart, as if he was going to faint in the next moment, and stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Zhen tremblingly.
"The concubine doesn't have to be like this, the official repeats it, you are the concubine of the Wei State, and you can't abolish the public for personal reasons, this is not only the words of the official, but also the words of all the officials present! It's Lord Chen Qun and Lord Sima Yi, what they say in their hearts! ”
The people who were watching the play suddenly heard Wu Zhen fire a map cannon, and then they were blinded in an instant, and then looked at the eyes of the concubine Bian Shi who looked at them, and couldn't help but change their faces greatly.
"Concubine, take care of your body!" Just when everyone was thinking about how to explain to themselves, and then distance themselves from the idiot in front of them, Sima Yi, who was quick-eyed, had already rushed over and stretched out his hand to support Concubine Bian.
"Sima Zhongda, you also think about this?" Bian Shi looked at the eagle-looking guy beside him, and gasped heavily, "You also want the old man to give the order to shoot Zhang'er?" ”
At this time, Xiahou Dun, who saw this scene, also waved his hand, and a team of archers climbed the city wall, and then bent their bows and arrows, ready to attack at any time.
But this time their bows and arrows were not aimed at Cao Zhang, who was about to leave the city, but the ministers with gloomy faces, if Wu Zhen dared to be verbose, no one dared to guarantee that Xiahoudun would not dare to order the release of arrows, and they really shot this group of people, their family had nothing to say, persecuting the concubine, this kind of thing, it would not be too much to kill them!
Chen Qun saw that Wu Zhen was still thinking about opening his mouth, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he took the first step and scolded Wu Zhen angrily.
"Wu Qian! This dog thief, open his mouth for benevolence and morality, and close his mouth for benevolence and morality, why is he so vicious now! Chen Qun saw that he had interrupted Wu Zhen's words, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh in his heart, "Wu Zhen, if you dare to talk nonsense here again, be careful that I will behead you!" ”
Wu Zhen looked at Chen Qun with an angry face, and then looked at the surrounding ministers, and couldn't help but look resentful, and scolded angrily, "The erector can't conspire!" ”
Listening to Wu Zhen's unkind words until now, all the courtiers on the city wall are far away from him, for fear that this fool will put his life into it again, it doesn't matter if he dies, but I'm afraid that he will drag himself down!
At this time, Sima Yi's face was also gloomy, he felt for the first time how disgusting his pig-like comrade was, no wonder Cao Zhen and Zhu Shuo didn't like him!
However, Sima Yi did not reprimand Wu Zhen as angrily as Chen Qun, but supported Bian Shi and said softly, "Yan Linghou has already left the city under the escort of General Xu Chu, you don't have to be like this, it's not worth it to be angry for someone like Wu Zhen!" ”
Sima Yi's persuasion did not make Bian's heart more comfortable, but the sentence that Yan Linghou had already left, but it made Bian's breathe a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to worry about that fool still yelling to kill his ID son.
"Wu Zhen, don't you have anything to do? If not, then go and keep a vigil for the ancestors! ”
When Bian saw that the city gate was closed, and Cao Zhang, accompanied by Xu Chu, entered his camp safely, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time snorted coldly at Wu Zhen, this sentence almost directly sent him into the cold palace.
Like the Bian family, there is also a group of people who are concerned about the whereabouts of Yan Ling and Cao Zhang.
"Boss, Yan Linghou is gone!" A skinny man in black walked up to the front and said to the other man in black, "Are we going to continue to investigate?" They should have entered the camp, and if they do, it will not be easy! ”
"No need, go back!" The "head" at the front walked back slowly, and it was clear that his appearance was Li Li, who was not dexterous in his legs and feet, and the few people behind him were also his subordinates.
"No!" Although I don't know why my own head will stare at this Yan Linghou at night, but as subordinates, they have no habit of questioning, what their own uncle says, then just do what they do, this is the way of survival of the school government.
Cao Zhang, who returned to the barracks, did not rush to rest or arrange a place for Xu Chu, but directly began to beat the drum and gather the generals.
Soon, including Li Hao and other generals, all gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for their generals.
"Lord, you're back!" Although Zhang Chen did not necessarily attack the city and capture Luoyang, he was worried about Cao Zhang's safety, and now that Cao Zhang returned safely, he was also greatly relieved.
However, Cao Zhang did not rush to talk to Zhang Chen, but turned his attention to the two people who were in the first place on his left and right.
Among them, the first person kneeling on the lower left is his mastermind, Li Hao, the son of Li Ru, a Xiliang poisoner, who also took refuge in Youzhou back then, and was able to gain a foothold in Chang'an thanks to the help and planning of several of them over the years.
As for the first person on the right who is kneeling on the kneeling is the current Jincheng Taishou, Xiliang famous scholar Su Ze, was Cao Zhangqian went to quell the Qiang rebellion when he bumped into, when he was leading the army to attack Zhangye, last year in the Hanzhong War just ended, Jingzhou Fengyan rose again, the corner of Xiliang was not relaxed.
Wuwei Yan Jun, Zhang Ye and Luan, Jiuquan Huanghua, and Xiping Lu Yan directly rebelled, not only did they not unite to attack Liangzhou, but each set up their own generals, and then attacked each other, wanting to annex each other, which made the army of Liangzhou not know how to intervene.
Before Liangzhou was the beginning of the era of great chaos among the princes, not only the four counties of the Western Regions were not honest, but the counties of Liangzhou were also full of horse thieves, one by one and the same as the small princes, plus the Qiang people who seemed to be everywhere blindly mixed, it can be said that there was smoke everywhere, and finally the court even said a sentence of Liangren autonomy, which sounded good, in fact, it was the West Liang out, out of sight and out of mind, and then it did not include the people of Liangzhou to come to the court as officials.
Until Liangzhou Sanming was born, especially the old lady Duan Ying and a group of arrogant soldiers spent most of his life fighting Liangzhou back, killing those rebels one by one, pulling out the forces one by one, and making Liangzhou stable again, one of the young generals named Dong Zhuo!
Until Liangzhou Sanming died one by one, Xiliang, a place that does not make people worry, was in chaos again, this time the Qiang people already had a formal leader of their own, called Beigong Boyu, and then he united Han Sui and others to set off a rebellion again, and even found a famous man called the kingdom to be the emperor.
Then they did not meet Liangzhou Sanming this time, and they were not slaughtered again, but they met the young general under Liangzhou Sanming, Dong Zhuo!
Dong Zhuo is indeed not as fierce as Liangzhou Sanming, and he can't be regarded as a famous general of a big man, but now Dong Zhuo can also be regarded as a general, Dong Zhuo, who has been under Zhang Huan's command for many years, is now not only a general, but also has successively served in the history of the state assassin, Hedong County Taishou and other positions, and there are also a large number of civil and military forces under his command.
Among them, the poisoner Jia Xu, the handsome Xu Rong, the fierce general Hua Xiong, and the good general Li Dao Guo Yan are among the best.
And in order to deal with the powerful Beigong Boyu at this time, as well as Bian Zhang Han Sui, the imperial court not only sent a Dong Zhuo, but also Huangfu Song, who is known as the last famous general of the Han Dynasty, the two of them blocked Beigong Boyu from the garden, although they failed to defeat it, and even let them go one step further, and there were 100,000 people under their command.
But the two of them really blocked them in Xiliang, and let them stop in the land of Sanfu, what is the concept of 100,000 people, even if they don't do anything in one day, 100,000 mouths are enough to eat Beigong Boyu, even if he is the leader of the Qiang people, with the support of the Qiang people's logistics, he is not enough.
In this case, Han Sui, known as the Nine Songs of the Yellow River, finally smiled weirdly at Beigong Boyu, and then cut off his head with a knife.
Since then, the land of Xiliang has been rebelling, and it has been quelled again, thanks to those Qiang people who toss at every turn, as well as the blessing of the Western Regions, the wealthy family, and the horse thief, Xiliang may not be very affordable by the Central Plains, but there are many big families and forces.
Among them, Xiliang Dong Zhuo is the best, when he left Xiliang, Han Sui, the leader of the Xiliang League who sat on the mountain in Jincheng to watch the tiger fight, and the Ma family of Fufeng Maoling are all successors, especially the eldest son of the Ma family, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao.
Ma Chao, as the daughter of the Qiang people, although he was not welcomed in the Ma family, he couldn't help but be really powerful, he was only twenty years old and was already famous and shocked Xiliang, when he was just twenty years old, Ma Teng and Han Sui had a stiff quarrel because of trivial things, and even to the point of a big fight.
Han Sui sent his son-in-law Yan Xing to make a move, and he did almost behead Ma Chao, but Ma Chao also broke his blade alive, and then beat him to a serious injury, which was the most seriously injured time Ma Chao was injured, and the only time he almost died by the enemy.
After that, Ma Chao seemed to be hanging, led the army to pacify Guo Yuan, and the general Pang De under his command beheaded Guo Yuan, and then Cao Cao heard his reputation and wanted to conquer him several times, not only gave him the position of the important minister of Xuzhou Assassin History, but Ma Chao was fighting the Qiang people who had just emerged, and did not pay attention to Cao Cao.
In the end, Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao, who was already a general of Shenweitian, and he was helpless, and he had no choice but to let Zang Ba serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao, who did not give up, gave Ma Chao a counselor again, wanting him to think about himself, but was ignored by Ma Chao, who was sweeping horse thieves in Liangzhou.
In the end, Cao Cao also knew that it was impossible for him to get Ma Chao, so he could only retreat and let Zhang Ji persuade Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, to come to the court and give him a position as a guard lieutenant!
Sure enough, Ma Chao, a father who was over forty years old and had fought for most of his life, was fooled by Ma Chaohao, took his two sons, and then came to Xudu happily, and then took over the official position of Wei Wei very happily, and slowly took over his family, and finally settled down after the Ma family began to grow.
At this time, Xiliang, who was missing the Ma family, became a little uncalm again, and the Qiang people and those thieves also became dishonest, among which the most famous of the thieves was Liu Xiongming, a gangster who collected medicine and hunted, took refuge in Yuan Shao, and then betrayed, and also had a small fight with Yuan Shao, fought with Cao Cao, was cleaned up by Xiahou Yuan, and was cleaned up by Ma Chao The thieves who survived in the end.
Then the Qiang and the thieves just started to move and bumped into Ma Chao's hands again, at this time Ma Chao had just received his father's power and came to Xiliang with the army stationed in Huaili.
Ma Chao, who was worried about how to integrate the army's heart, smiled very happily when he saw the group of people in Xiliang who were in chaos, and then he started a new round of sweeping with the army, not only mastering the army's heart, but also determining his name as "Shenweitian General".
At this time, Xiliang can be said to be the most stable Xiliang, until Ma Chao himself rebelled.
Cao Cao once thought that when he invaded Hanzhong in the sixteenth year of Jian'an and passed through Hedong, he would inevitably run into the generals of Xiliang, so in order to avoid conflict with them, he specially sent someone to contact them and wanted to borrow a way out.
But Ma Chao, who was stationed in Huaili, looked at Cao Jun's march route map and found that this route was somewhat interesting, whether Cao Cao could win Zhang Lu didn't say for the time being, anyway, if he wanted on the road, he could beat himself and others at any time.
So in the end, Ma Chao made an astonishing decision, before Cao Cao came, he first led the army to find Cao Cao, so that Ma Chao contacted the small princes and generals who were still alive in Liangzhou one by one.
Zhang Heng and Liang Xing in Guanzhong, Yang Qiu in stability, Hou Xuan in Hedong, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi and other ten departments with a total of 100,000 horses, also carried a decapitation knife to find the already old Han Sui, and showed a mouthful of big silver teeth to tell Han Sui, let him be the leader for himself!
Han Sui, who relied on betraying his teammates to rise all the way, couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at the big knife, nodded and agreed, and scolded Ma Chao in his heart for three days and three nights.
As for Liu Xiongming, who said that he didn't mix anything, he was also blasted out by Ma Chao first, and directly blasted out of Liangzhou, if he hadn't run fast, it wouldn't have been his turn to surrender to Cao Cao.
After the army did not make chaos in Liangzhou, Ma Chao, as a native of Liangzhou, knew his bottom line, and appeared in Guanzhong with the army, outside Tongguan, and Cao Cao confronted Cao Cao in Tongguan for a long time, not only won and lost with Cao Cao, there were dealings, and even Cao Cao was forced into a desperate situation for a time.
Ma'er's prestige spread from Xiliang to the world this time, and then Ma Chao was sold by Han Sui again, this time Ma Chao was forced to the territory of the Di people, if it wasn't for someone in Hedong who rebelled, Cao Cao really wanted to kill Ma Chao.
However, Ma Chao, who was lucky to survive, did change suddenly, perhaps Han Sui's betrayal hit him too hard, which made Ma Chao's personality change greatly, he not only forgot that he was a Liangzhou person, but even had an idea about Liangzhou for a while.
At that time, Ma Chao, who would rather die than go to Liangzhou for the safety of Liangzhou, not only took the initiative to go to Liangzhou after breathing a sigh of relief, but even besieged Liangzhou Assassin Shi, and slaughtered the city in Liangzhou, one by one Liangzhou officials were killed by him, until Ma Chao was completely driven away, I don't know how many Liangzhou people died in the hands of Ma Chao.
Although Ma Chao went to Hanzhong and went to Xichuan Liu Bei's command, the trouble he left for Liangzhou is still there.
Although the generals of Xiliang were chaotic back then, Xiliang was divided into various forces, but those people were also reasonable people, and they were more or less related to the Qiang people and all kinds of heroes and strongmen had a lot of relationships and entanglements, with them, although Liangzhou was chaotic, but the people of Liangzhou were not so painful.
But in the battle of Tongguan, the major generals in Liangzhou suffered heavy casualties, although the Cao family lived in Liangzhou, but in the face of the intricacies of forces, Liangzhou where the Qiang people were pervasive was also quite powerless, plus Liangzhou at this time Wei Kang and others were killed by Ma Chao, and the rest were also killed in the battle with Ma Chao, which made Liangzhou even more chaotic.
Especially when Xiahou Yuan, who was on the right side of Hubu Pass, went to Hanzhong, Liangzhou was even more crazy, there was no Jiuqu Yellow River Hanwen appointment, there was no Fufeng Majia Town Liangzhou, and even the people slaughtered Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying, and the people of Liangzhou suddenly found that they seemed to have returned to a hundred years ago, the era when they were killed at will.
Even in addition to the Qiang people, they seem to have seen the power of Hanzhong, or Xichuan.
After Cao Zhang arrived in Chang'an, the first thing was not to pacify Guanzhong, nor to control Chang'an, Guanzhong has been thriving under the governance of Zhong Xuan over the years, although there are often people who make trouble for him to make things difficult for him, but Guanzhong is always recovering his vitality.
The first thing Cao Zhang did when he came to Chang'an was to deal with the affairs of Xiliang, perhaps because he had fought too many wars outside the Saiwai, so he was quite sensitive to foreign races, and as soon as Cao Zhang came to Chang'an, he asked people to inquire about the Qiang and Di people in the northwest, and then.... Lead the army to the battle!
In less than a year, Cao Zhang almost didn't want any grain and grass in Guanzhong, in his words, it was really not easy for Guanzhong to become like this, and he couldn't bring any trouble to Guanzhong because of himself, as for the grain and grass, they already knew who to go to.
This year's continuous campaigns, in addition to the continuous expansion of his troops, the continuous cohesion of the army, this combat effectiveness has also risen a lot, and even the group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals who are now guarding Liangzhou are also very impressed with Cao Zhang.
You must know that Xiliang has been chaotic again and again over the years, if there are not a few moments, I am afraid that I will not be able to control the group of Qiang people and Haoqiang, and Su is the best among them.
Su Ze is not brave, but he is quite strategic, he can be regarded as a Confucian general, and what this guy is best at is not strategy and fighting, he is outspoken and daring, Su Ze's temper is particularly short-tempered, if you see something uneven, you must take care of it, you have the style of a chivalrous man back then, and Cao Zhang likes this very much.
In order to deal with the rebellion of the four counties in the Western Regions, Cao Zhang and Su joined forces and established an excellent friendship, and today Cao Zhang led the army to attack Luoyang City.
After Su Ze knew, he came all the way to change horses without changing people, and finally caught up with Cao Zhang at the last moment, but before he could find Cao Zhang to figure out what he was going to do, he got the news that Cao Zhang had entered the city alone to worship.
Cao Zhang looked at Su Ze and Li Hao at this time, and suddenly smiled softly, "I want to come to the two gentlemen, do you know what a certain family wants to do?" ”
Li Hao still smiled indifferently at this time and didn't speak, but Su Ze on the other side didn't hold back and stood up directly, "Yan Linghou is a Hanchen, since Cao Pi's son is the son of the king, then it is not impossible to succeed to the throne and become the king, you are the general of the first prince, how can you leave your post without permission, and ask Yan Linghou to return to Chang'an!" ”
Su Ze's words really offended a lot of people, not to mention anything else, the generals under Cao Zhang's account were more or less thinking about following Cao Zhang's achievements, thinking that after Cao Zhang's ascension to the throne and becoming the king, he would be able to rise and move up, where could he agree.
Zhang Chen, who was the leader, came up and was about to speak, but was dragged back by Li Hao on the side, looking at Li Hao with a serious face, Zhang Chen, who knew him well, still chose to shut up.
But Zhang Chen shut up, but the other generals disagreed, and they all jumped out one by one, raising their hands high, shouting that they wanted Cao Zhang to give an order, and then they led the army to break through Luoyang, and even shouted the slogan of capturing and killing Cao Pi.
Even if Su Ze scolded them, they still didn't change their attitude, looking at the noisy scene, Cao Zhang chuckled at Xu Chu, "The general now knows why the eldest brother doesn't dare to let a certain family take charge of the army anymore, people's hearts, he understands it too well!" ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Chu to reply, he yelled directly.
"Shut up, and those who talk nonsense again, kill!"
