Chapter 208: The Battle of Jingzhou

Xiahou Nan's words made Cao Pi a little helpless and a little overwhelmed, his generals were so incorruptible, it should be said that it was the luck of his Cao family, and it was also the luck of the people in the world, but Xiahou Tang was the pillar of his Cao family's foundation, and it was his Cao Pi's beloved uncle.

Now that Xiahoudun is dead, but he can't even find a decent coffin, and in the whole family, except for the "General's Mansion" that he just built for him, he can't even find a decent piece of furniture, then he Cao Pi really feels that he is too ashamed of his uncle.

"Uncle Yuan Rang has made great contributions to the imperial court, and even more to my Cao family, how can he be so simple!" Cao Pi said in a deep voice, and then directly summoned Xu Chu over, "Go to the Taishou of Yecheng and tell him to buy things for Xiahou's family, customize an agarwood coffin for his uncle, all the money and grain, my Wei Wangfu is out!" ”

"No!" Xu Chu also felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the General's Mansion to look like this, and he was going to go out after agreeing to it.

However, as soon as he acted, he was stopped by Xiahou Chong, who was driven out.

"I've seen the king!" Xiahou Chong first gave Cao Pi a salute, then pulled Xu Chu back, and said again, "King Wei doesn't know, when my father was alive, he walked outside all the year round, and he was mostly in the fields with the people, and he felt the suffering of the people.

My father once said that the people of the world have suffered a lot, and if we are officials and generals, and we cannot be diligent and thrifty, and cannot be honest and honest, then when will the people of the world be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

My father knew that he could not make all the officials in the world honest and honest, pro-government and love the people, all he could do was to set an example, or one day, he could see the beautiful scenery of the world's officials being honest and the people living and working in peace and contentment. ”

After hearing this, Cao Pi couldn't calm down for a long time, and finally sighed heavily, and then looked at the simple mourning hall, and looked at the heirs of the Xiahou family who were a little yellow.

"Uncle for the country and the people, is really a great man, my father once said that if the Cao family did not have Yuan let the uncle, I would not know where he died, now it seems that this is true!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Pi personally walked to the mourning hall, and as a result, the fragrance handed over by Xiahou Chong made three heavy salutes towards Xiahoudun's thin-skinned coffin.

Behind him is Xu Chu and other heavyweights.

After the salute, Cao Pi did not return to Luoyang, nor did he deal with those government affairs that seemed to be never finished, just beside Xiahoudun's coffin, put on the linen clothes and filial piety clothes of the heirs of the Xiahou family, and then knelt there and became a filial son.

Many people came to persuade him, thinking that he was unethical.

But Cao Pi's statement is very sincere, "Uncle Yuan Rang is the brother of his father and the king, and he has followed the previous king for many years, and he has exhausted his efforts for the Cao family, and he is also the mentor of our brothers, and he has broken his own heart for us, such a person, we should respect!" should be more loving like a father, wearing linen and filial piety, but Erer. ”

Hearing Cao Pi say this, everyone had nothing else to say, so they could only nod their heads one by one, and let Cao Pi be here to guard Xiahou's filial piety.

After Cao Pi, ministers from all walks of life also came to offer incense and worship to Xiahoudun and so on.

But when they saw Cao Pi kneeling next to the coffin, their faces changed dramatically, and those who came in person naturally didn't need to say much, burning incense and bowing, and even crying, it was all commonplace.

Those who obviously have nothing to do, but let their families come, and those who come only feel that their eyes can't help but dizzy.

Especially when they saw the Lord of Yama who also dared to come to the school office in a hurry, a group of people only felt that their legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Li Hao calmly finished offering incense to Xiahoudun, and then stood respectfully outside the mourning hall, without saying a word or going in to drink tea.

If it weren't for Xu Chu sending someone to tell Xiahou Chong who Li Hao's identity was, I'm afraid that the people of Xiahou's family would really have to wonder if this guy was here to smash the field!

"Zheng Qi in the service, resting at home, but today he sent his subordinates to worship here, and he will take care of it again after he returns!"

Li Hao saw a figure hiding and whispered directly, asking the person next to him to record it.

Li Hao is here today to see who still has a longing for the Han family.

Xiahoudun's identity and status are placed here, and even those who don't have time will find a way to come and pay their respects.

This is the unwritten rule of officialdom!

It's okay locally, Yecheng, Xudu, and Luoyang officials, if they don't appear, many things won't make sense!

In other words, if you really can't leave, it's understandable, but if you deliberately don't come, then you have to settle it again.

And just now, Li Hao was in Xiu Mu but sent his family here to worship, I'm afraid he is going to be finished!

And Li Hao's mouth has not stopped.

"General Pei Wen of Yokono, yesterday you can still climb the mountain and go to the green, today you will go to tell the future of the disease, write it down!"

"Yecheng anti-thief captain Wang Xiao, he went to sit in the government this morning, but now he is silent!"

"Xu Du City Gate Ling Hu Si, the future!"

……

One name after another popped out of Li Hao's mouth, and the names of the little school next to him were written on the letter silk one after another.

That's the main purpose of their coming today!

The appearance of one name after another, Li Hao felt for a moment that Xiahoudun's death at this time really helped him too much!

He must give Cao Pi an explanation to ensure that the stealing of the sky in the near future will be successful!

He must ensure that there will be no chaotic people holding the banner of the Han family in Cao Pi's eyes in the future.

So this kind of lonely and arrogant guy is right to kill it early!

Otherwise, when that day comes, this group of people will be in trouble one by one, they have no ability to do anything, but they dare to bark!

As soon as he thought of this, he thought of a certain Jincheng Taishou in the land of Yongliang, and when he thought of him, Li Hao felt that he had a headache.

dragged Cao Zhang's blessing, and he can be regarded as having a lot of friendship with those people, so he has an understanding of those people.

Hao Zhao and Wei Ping are two pure military generals, they hope to be able to protect the territory and the people, and be able to make contributions!

As for who they are loyal to, whether it is the Han family or the Cao family, they don't care about this!

Biqiu Xing, the martial power Taishou, is the same, and he doesn't know how much loyalty he has to the Han family.

But Jincheng Taishou Su is indeed different, he is a pure Hanchen!

It stands to reason that he should take down Su Ze, Zhao Zhao, and Tian Yu directly, and remove all their official positions like Zhong Xuan before!

But in the end, whether it was Cao Pi or Li Hao, they gave up this idea!

Because such a loss is too great!

A dying Zhong Xuan almost made the entire Guanzhong unstable, and the two of them didn't dare to guarantee what the consequences would be if they moved these three generals in the northern frontier!

And they are not the biggest, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Zhong family and the Chen family where Chen Qun is located!

After so many years, the status of Dahan in the hearts of the people is not ordinarily high!

So they always wanted to move but didn't dare to move.

Now Li Hao has finally found an opportunity, and the death of General Xiahoudun has given him an opportunity!

Take down those guys who don't even want to disguise on the surface, and then follow the vine and screen them one by one!

As for Su Ze and the others, Li Hao has an idea in his heart, and maybe Cao Pi also has an idea in his heart!

Either take back the center and follow him to influence him, or let him go back to the frontier, people like them are more important to treat aliens than to treat loyalty in their hearts!

Cao Pi kept vigil here for three days and three nights, and Li Hao wrote the names of no less than 100 people, and then directly handed them over to Cao Pi who walked out of the mourning hall.

"Are these people sure?" Cao Pi looked at the names on the letter one after another, and there were many people in it, all of whom made him feel very familiar!

"Even if it's not a Han family, I'm afraid it's a disgruntled person, and it's not too much to kill!"

Li Hao chuckled, and the smile on the corner of his mouth felt extremely hideous!

"Starting tomorrow, Huada people will start playing, you speed up here!"

Cao Pi's eyes also brought out a hint of fierceness, and there was a feeling of choosing people and devouring them.

"At this time, it's better to kill the wrong than to prevent it!"

"Minister, understood!" After Li Hao bowed and saluted, he slowly retreated.

Watching Li Hao leave, Cao Pi held the letter firmly in the palm of his hand, his face was gloomy and terrifying!

"Zhongkang!" Cao Pi said faintly to Xu Chu on the side, "The Tiger Guards should be stricter!" It's been windy lately! ”

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he also left the Great General's Mansion in Yecheng.

As for him, King Wei's chariot had already been prepared, but this time Cao Pi was not in a hurry, and walked slowly all the way to Luoyang, and also looked at the scenery along the way.

When he returned to Luoyang, Jingzhou's battle report had also been sent to Cao Pi.

"Sun Quan sent people to occupy Xiangyang!" Cao Pi looked at the battle report in his hand and chuckled, "It seems that the day when Uncle Cao Ren will do it is not far away!" ”

At the same time, he looked at the messenger below.

"Did you find someone to look for?"

"Back to King Wei, we have found Gongzi and told Gongzi your will!"

Cao Pi looked at the soldier, chuckled and nodded, "Go down and rest for a while, I've worked hard for you this time!" ”

Seeing the soldier retreat with great gratitude, Cao Pi slowly leaned himself back, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Xu Chu, who was guarding him on the side, saw Cao Pi like this, and directly waved his hand to let everyone retreat, leaving this space to Cao Pi himself!

And Xu Chu did not stay outside the main hall after withdrawing, but went to another place!

"General!" The soldier who ran back to deliver the message just now sat down to eat when he saw Xu Chu walking in, and he was so frightened that he was directly excited.

"Don't panic!" Xu Chu pushed him back on the Hu bed, with a smile on his face.

"It's good to eat, I've just worked hard for you!"

"The general has won the prize!" The soldier was praised by Cao Pi and Xu Chu in turn, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Eat quickly, don't make small talk!" needed to urge the soldier to hurry up and eat, and he just stood behind him, with a smile on his face, gradually becoming hideous.

Half an hour later, Xu Chu returned to Cao Pi's side again, still silent, still silent.

"It's all taken care of!" Cao Pi continued to deal with government affairs without raising his head, as if he was talking to himself.

"Don't worry, the king!" When Xu Chu spoke, he could show a trace of blood.

Feeling the peace of mind brought by Xu Chu, Cao Pi really envied his father for being able to have such a warrior!

Cao Pi's world has returned to normal, Zhong Xuan was dragged out of his house by him, and now the land of Guanzhong is full of chicken feathers, and more and more families are pouring in to make the land of Guanzhong completely chaotic!

Now Guanzhong needs a person with excellent ability, qualifications, and even family background to control!

This person must be Boss Zhong Xuan!

In the same way, Hua Xin also went to Xudu and began to unite the various civil and military ministers in the court, asking them to jointly write to the emperor with him, asking her to give in!

At the same time, the school government also stepped up its efforts again, monitoring all officials who might be loyal to the Han family, but anyone who might pose a threat to the Cao family.

"I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go!" That's what it's all about!

To be honest, Cao Pi didn't let the school government hunt and kill because he was afraid that some people would not be able to bear it.

Maybe it was Cao Pi's soft-heartedness that made them form some illusion, and they dared to continue to be presumptuous!

Now that Li Hao has begun to make a move, the school government has been developing outward for so many years, for fear that when the situation is turbulent, it will cause those unnecessary troubles, coupled with the suppression of Cao Pi after he took the throne, so that those Qingliu in the Han family feel that they are doing it again, and then this time, they finally smashed into Li Hao's hands.

"Lord Zheng!" A very simple-looking mansion, Li Hao is now standing in the mansion, looking at the official in front of him with a smile on his face, "Please also move with your family and come to the prison of our school's mansion!" ”

That Lord Zheng is also a famous Qingliu of the Han Dynasty, in the past, he has always called himself the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and he is a well-known figure of the Han Dynasty, and now he is looking at the fierce and vicious school spies, let's take a look at this smiling school prince.

"I don't know what I, Zheng Zheng, have done to bother your school government to be so prosperous!" Zheng Qiqiang endured his panic, looked at Li Hao and said with a smile, "The old man is also famous in this big man, adults do this, be careful to cause trouble for yourself!" ”

"Hehe, this doesn't bother Mr. Lao." Li Hao chuckled, then waved his hand, "Take it!" ”

The spies of the school government have long been impatient, they have endured it very hard during this time, Zheng Qi dares to talk to them like this, if it is changed back then, no matter who it is, when they see the spies of their school office, who will not tremble.

Since Mr. Guo's death, the prestige of the school has been getting worse and worse day by day.

Now all this mess can resist in front of the school office, which makes the school office's spies very uncomfortable.

Now that the leader of his own family has once again said the word "take people", how can their group of spies not obey orders!

"Li Hao! Wait for an to dare to be presumptuous! Zheng Qi looked at the school spies who rushed up to attack him and his family, and his face suddenly turned pale, and at the same time, his eyes became a little red.

"If you dare to talk nonsense, kill it first!" Li Hao looked at a group of people from the Zheng family who were scattering and fleeing, screaming and insulting in all kinds of ways, and directly snorted coldly, "Kill those who resist, kill those who scold, kill!" ”

Li Hao's two words not only made the entire Zheng family quiet, but Zheng Qi, who had been abusing constantly, closed his mouth all of a sudden, for fear that if he said one more word, this guy named Li Hao would really take advantage of himself.

There are still people in the Zheng family who are not restrained, and they want to resist, and then his blood is splashed.

There are children of the Zheng family who are too young and don't know where they are because they are too young, and they are so frightened that they cry, and the spies of the school office made him shut his mouth with a knife.

When the child's mother saw her child being killed, she screamed and pounced, and then was dismembered with a knife.

The constant killing and bloodshed made the people of the Zheng family understand that Li Hao's two sentences just now were not just said here, nor were they just casually talked, and the people of the Zheng family did not dare to be presumptuous anymore.

Just when the huge Zheng family was about to be beaten away, a figure appeared outside the Zheng family's mansion again, it was an old man who looked like he was about to be 100 years old, trembling and walking into the Zheng family's mansion, looking at this messy scene, he couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Stop, stop it for the old man!"

The old man was helped all the way to Li Hao, coughing constantly, constantly dressing roughly, as if he was going to die in the next moment.

"Old man, Yang Biao!" The introduction of the old man is very brief, but it doesn't need to be too long, the old lady Yang Biao, the first person in the Han Dynasty back then, the son of the captain Yang Ci, when it comes to family history, the Yang family is the first family in Guanzhong, not to mention, but also the fourth and third princes.

His son Yang Xiu was killed by the former King of Wei, but if he did not die, he was also a famous person, who assisted Cao Zhi and almost forced the current King of Wei, Cao Pi, into a desperate situation.

"Master Yang Biao, I don't know what you're doing here!" Li Hao didn't pretend not to know, and he didn't dare to pretend not to know, but he still didn't care much, "The school affairs are on business, boss, you better go back to the mansion to rest, don't hurt you!" ”

Yang Biao looked at the school spies who still didn't stop, and his face was even more angry, especially when he looked at Zheng Qi, who was full of pleading, and his face was even more flushed.

"This lord, can you look at the old man's face, let Master Zheng and his family go first, if there is any problem, the old man will go and explain to King Wei!"

Yang Biao said this sentence is not to rely on the old to sell the old, he really has this ability, as an old minister of several dynasties, Yang Biao's status is not only in the Han family, but when the first king was there, he also respected Yang Biao, the boss of the fourth world and the third duke, this is not because of ability or power, but simply because of fame, the reputation of the Yang family in Guanzhong!

"Master Yang Biao, a certain family thinks that it is better for you to cultivate at home honestly!" After Li Hao glanced at Yang Biao, he waved his hand and asked the school spies under his command to continue to do it, and don't care about others. At the same time, he looked at Yang Biao and showed a smile.

"Boss, let's go and talk, if you talk here, I'm afraid your old face is not so.... Ha ha! ”

Looking at Li Hao, who was quite arrogant, Yang Biao's heart became angry, he dared to speak to him like this for so many years, it is really unique, even if he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, he is still the head of the Yang family in Hongnong, Hanzhong.

is still the old captain of the Han Dynasty, and the famous Han Yang Biao!

But just when Yang Biao was about to be completely angry, he saw the group of school spies around Li Hao, and looked at Li Hao's calm face, Yang Biao put away the anger in his heart.

"Old man remembers, you are the head of the school office, what is your name?" Yang Biao squinted his eyes at this young school minister, and his face became full of smiles, "But a junior like you is reckless, and you always do things so impulsively at a young age, which is not good!" ”

"Boss, it doesn't really matter who the kid is, the important thing is that the kid has one thing and wants to talk to you!" Li Hao's face was full of smiles, and then he waved his hand away from the subordinate who was supporting Yang Biao, and he helped Yang Biao to the other direction, "The boss may not have been out of the mansion much recently, and he doesn't know so much about the current things." ”

"What do you mean, kid!" Listening to the thick mockery, his face couldn't help but become very ugly, "Do you think that the old man is now old and useless?" ”

"Boss, look at what you said, what is this called!" Li Hao laughed, and his face softened a little, "It's just that the boss has forgotten that the current Guanzhong is still the Guanzhong of the past?" ”

After hearing this, Yang Biao's eyes shrank suddenly, and he watched Li Hao's face twitch continuously, "What do you mean, kid?" ”

"What's the meaning of the kid, I just want to tell the boss that now the seat of my Great Wei has been moved from Yecheng to Luoyang, and now this Luoyang, the family is all over the place, and there is a sense of prosperity of my Han Dynasty back then."

Yang Biao looked at Li Hao who was smiling, and then looked at the school spies who still didn't stop at all, and were still wantonly searching and destroying the Zheng family, and finally sighed and said to Li Hao.

"Lord Zheng Qi is a famous man of the Han Dynasty, why bother, although he is interested in the Han family.... He is loyal to the Han family, but he will not have any impact on the King of Wei! ”

"Sir!" Li Hao directly interrupted Yang Biao's words, "You can just talk about this kind of thing, how he does it, that's his business, you can't control it, even King Wei can't control it, but the boy's duty is to let him not manage anything!" ”

"He's famous..."Yang Biao also wanted to explain, after all, there are only so many people in the Han family now, even if these people are Qingliu, they are not more than Erer, but they are still Han family!

"He's famous!" Li Hao interrupted Yang Biao again, "But so what, it's just a famous fisherman!" Why should Boss Yang Biao deceive himself, what is he, we still need to investigate carefully, but Boss Yang Biao, do you still need this?

What kind of person is Zheng Qi, others don't know, don't you know? How many people's fat and people's ointment do he have in his hands, how many people's acres of land he took by force, don't you Yang Biao still know this? ”

Yang Biao looked at the blue and gloomy Li Hao, he suddenly didn't know what to say, he knew that what Li Hao said was right, and he also knew what Zheng Qi was.

Whether it is the Zheng family, or other clear streams, although they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they talk about metaphysics all day long, but deep in their hearts, what is it, Yang Biao knows better than everyone else.

There are people in this world who are not greedy, but some people are greedy for power, some people are greedy for money, and some people are greedy for fame.

Greedy for power is like Cao Ren now, he doesn't care about his reputation, he doesn't care how much money he can make, he doesn't take bribes and bend the law, he doesn't plunder the people's fat and people's cream, he just wants to climb up step by step, and his younger brother Cao Hong, who only loves money and doesn't love anything else, is just the opposite.

As for those who are greedy for fame, I am afraid that it is people like Yang Biao, who does not love power or money, and only cares about his reputation the most, and this reputation, including loyalty to the Han and loyalty to himself.

These three kinds of people are all sincere people, although they have more or less a lot of problems, but each of them has their own ability, and they will not make people disgusted, maybe this is pure benefit.

But when you go out of these three kinds of people, there is another kind of person in this world, and that is to want everything!

They want to be promoted and rich, they want to be prosperous and rich, and in the end they want to have a good reputation, carefully maintain their reputation outside, make their own family miserable and let others see their integrity, and finally use other people's names to take advantage of it.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the clear streams in the Han Dynasty and the clear streams in the officialdom are such people.

They talk every day, they don't do the right thing, they don't have the right thing to do for them, they are like this, they are scavenging for this money and food, greedy for fame, and they insult those who do it that they don't know what to do, and they always cause all kinds of problems.

They scolded the generals of the frontier for being cruel and easy to kill, and they were killing aliens, and they did not have the demeanor of a state of Confucian etiquette in the Han Dynasty.

They say that the local magistrates are too observant of the law, uneasy about the law, and often make the law ineffective because of sympathy.

They shouted that the king of Wei would return to His Majesty, and then he would definitely be able to achieve universal harmony.

They are a group of guys who can do anything, and it seems that there really is omnipotence.

Yang Biao left, he knew that he couldn't stop anyone, and the head of the school government was simply cleaning up the officialdom under the guise of doing things for King Wei.

Zheng Qi was so happy when he saw Yang Biao appear, but when he saw that Yang Biao had left the Zheng family again and didn't take anything with him, he was stunned, he wanted to shout Yang Biao, and wanted Yang Biao to save himself, but when he just opened his mouth, he saw that the bright sword had been put on his neck.

"Shut up or die!" A school spy sneered, and the bright sword made him choose to close his mouth happily.

The Zheng family was taken away, and none of the old and young of the entire Zheng family, men and women, were able to escape from the Zheng family, and they were all taken down by the school spies led by Li Hao and taken away.

At the same time, countless money and food, countless celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and so on were taken away.

"Go, next!" Seeing that the people of the Zheng family had been taken away by the spies of the school office, he continued to speak, "Next, Yokono General Pei Wen!" ”

One after another, the Han courtiers were taken by Li Hao to the people of the school office, broke open the door of the house, put them in shackles, and then took them all away.

For a while, the whole Xu was made a fuss by them, and the whole Xu capital became panicked, and all the officials were a little at a loss, and when they saw the guys from the security school office rushing in the direction of their home, they were even ready to commit suicide.

When Li Hao left Xu Capital with the people from the school office, the remaining officials in the entire Xu Capital either let out a sneer, or burned incense and bowed, and sent him to death.

The reason for this turmoil is mainly because after Li Hao arrested dozens of ministers of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly confiscated his hands, and by the way, he took away a large number of those corrupt people in Xudu City.

This time almost didn't fill the cell of the school office, as for Cao Pi was very happy when he heard about this, he told Li Hao one thing, "Let you do it yourself!" ”

Li Hao started a looting in Xudu, in Yecheng, and in various states and counties in the Central Plains.

And at this time, Jingzhou, in the other direction, also started a big war at this time.

After Xiahou Shang got Cao Ren's order, no matter what he thought, no matter what he wanted to do, now he had to take Xu Huang and his subordinates and rush to Xiangyang.

Sun Quan sent the general Chen Shao to occupy Xiangyang, wanting to take Xiangyang, and then look at Fancheng, so as to seize the entire land of Xiangfan, and then look at Jingzhou.

"General Xu Huang, do you have any thoughts on this war?" Xiahou Shang followed what Cao Zhang told him before he came to Jingzhou, and he respected Xu Huang very much, and asked Xu Huang's opinion for the first time if he had anything.

"General Xiahou is the general of Wei Wangfeng's expedition to the south, this kind of thing, you must be in charge!" After going through so many things, Xu Huang is no longer the first unruly general of the Cao clan who can force Wang Ping away in Hanzhong, and he has also learned to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to his eyes, but Xiahou Shang does not dare to look down on him.

"Before a certain family came to Jingzhou, an elder brother in the family repeatedly told a certain family that they must respect General Xu Huang very much, because General Xu Huang is a person who really has the ability, and a certain family is also convinced of this."

"General Xiahou...."Xu Huang was still a little moved when he heard these words, but Xu Huang was not a hairy young man anymore, so naturally there would be no changes because of his touching, "The general really praised Xu Huang, how to attack, the last general will obey orders!" ”

When Xiahou Shang heard Xu Huang's words, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything, as time passed, people lost not only their age, but also their arrogance.

The two of them walked in silence, rushing all the way to Xiangyang in the distance.

In the other direction, Cao Ren had also begun to assemble a large army, and he also began to prepare to rush to Xiangyang, although he was taught a lesson by Xiahoudun and knew that he was wrong, but things had come to this point, even if he knew that he was wrong, there was no way.

In the end, Cao Ren simply joined the army, honestly and honestly stayed together every day in the camp outside the city in Wancheng, and he didn't show up if he could, and he didn't show up, and he was embarrassed to see each other.

But this kind of day has finally come to an end, Cao Ren took many armies under his command, and left here in the gloom on the faces of Tian Yu and others, leaving Wancheng, which did not welcome him at all.

The main reason is that Tian Yu is also not happy now, although Cao Ren is gone, but he still doesn't know how to explain to the King of Wei, and now he has got the news, the news from Yecheng, the general of Cao Wei, Xiahou Dun, died of illness in front of his general's mansion.

When he heard the news, Tian Yu didn't know what Cao Ren's news was, he only knew that his heart twitched violently, and he almost didn't go straight away.

Let's not talk about Xiahoudun's help to the Han and Cao family for so many years, and he Tian Yu has also helped him a lot, mainly because Xiahoudun came to Wancheng in the end, and he can't get rid of this matter, and in the end, Cao Ren patted his ass and left, maybe he can get some credit, but he Tian Yu is terrible.

"Hey, it's gone!" Tian Yu sighed helplessly, and then looked at a group of officials with gloomy faces, "I said Berning, can you smile, it's easy to die early with a black face all day long!" ”

Man Pet squinted his eyes and stunned Tian Yu for a moment, "Do you still have time to gag the old man here?" Don't know how much trouble you have right now? ”

"Somebody... Hanchen, this is not an unsightly thing, if you really use this matter to fill the old man's house.... The old man can't say anything! Instead of making Tian Yu worry and afraid, Man Chong's words laughed out loud, "It's you, now that you have begun to emerge, don't lose this opportunity!" ”

Man Zhong looked at Tian Yu, seeing that he really didn't care in the slightest, and couldn't help but nodded, "Don't worry, the old man knows what he should do!" ”

After finishing speaking, Man Pet also turned around and left, at this time he also walked to the school field outside the city, no matter what the battle ended up in, the most important thing is that they need to give Jiangdong a heavy blow.

Cao Ren actually had no problems with his tactical arrangement, burning Fancheng and Xiangyang, so that the Jiangdong army could not form a corner, and then destroying the city defenses of the two cities, so that the Jiangdong army had to send a large army if it wanted to garrison Xiangfan.

As long as this battle defeats them, or even exterminates them, I am afraid that the Central Plains will not have to worry about Jiangdong sending troops to fight for twenty years, they will not have so much strength!

After Man Pet walked to the school field, = the army prepared by Tian Yu for him was also prepared early, and the generals under his command were also standing in front of their respective subordinates, waiting for their main general's orders.

"The army is out, the troops are out of Fancheng, and Xiangyang is broken!" Man Pet didn't say much, he pointed out the theme in one sentence, and rushed out with the army under his command, wanting to have a good chat with the Jiangdong army.

After Man Chong also led the army away, Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, although he said very clearly in front of this old friend, he had seen everything, and it was not because he didn't want to say something that made him feel bad when he went on the expedition.

"Yuhao!" Tian Yu waved his hand and beckoned Kuai Meng, who had just rushed over, "Has the identity been settled?" ”

"General Tian Yu is relieved, now the kid is also a spy of the school office, following Lord Han Long to do business in Yongliang, this time I came here because of the mediocrity." Kuaimeng chuckled, and now Kuaimeng quickly got a new identity for himself under the banner of Han Long.

In Nanyang, with Tian Yu's help, it is indeed very easy for him and Sun Ying to get a reasonable identity, especially when the people are willing to help.

So now, Kuaimeng can also become a member of the school government in a grand manner, walking openly on the official face.

Of course, Han Long and the others did this for no other purpose, that is, the current situation is too special, and now the King of Wei has a posture of preferring to kill mistakes and not let go, not to mention that Sun Ying was involved in the relationship with the Sun family in Jiangdong before, Liu Fu is also the son of Liu Pan in Changsha, and he is the son-in-law of the Kuai family, and now he is also in danger.

Xu Du's Kuai family is also in turmoil now, although when targeting the ministers of the Han family, there is no way to deal with the Kuai family, but after all, the Kuai family is still the minister of the Liu family in Jingzhou, and at this time, it is also one of the people who are targeted.

Tian Yu was also relieved when he knew that Kuai Meng and the others were safe, "It's so good, everything here has been dealt with almost well, and that kid Han Long is too careful, and he actually sent you over, doesn't he know how much the old man is staring at here?" ”

"Han Long.... The outside is cold and hot, he is worried that there will be some accident here for the general, after all, General Cao Ren.... The two of us really underestimated the heroes of this world, and we didn't expect that General Xiahou would be like this..."

Kuaimeng also learned about the things that Xiahoudun did after he came, although the majestic Xiahoudun couldn't witness it with his own eyes, but now even if he hears what others say, it makes Kuaimeng feel emotional.

Now Cao Ren has been honestly staying in the camp outside the city for half a month, and Man Zhong is playing chess and drinking in the county guard mansion with Tian Yu, I thought that in half a month, Tian Yu should be able to wait for his end, but unfortunately, he didn't wait in the end.

Now that the army has been mobilized, Tian Yu is still waiting here bitterly, and even he really has a little bit of the intention of killing and chopping and letting you dispose of it.

"Your Excellency!" Just when Tian Yu and Kuai Meng were chatting, a common man in cloth clothes suddenly rushed over, and before a group of guards reacted, he had already come to the side of the two, kneeling in front of the two without any killing intent, and the soldiers sent a bamboo tube, "This is a message from Lord Han Long, please take a look!" ”

Tian Yu put away the thought that he wanted to do it, and then picked up the bamboo tube that looked like there was no problem, and after opening it carefully, he took out the letter inside.

After reading the letter, Tian Yu said with a strange face, "Are you a spy from the school office?" ”

"Back to my lord, the villain Jian'an has been in the school office for seven years, and has been investigating in Runan and other places, and has just been transferred to Nanyang recently!" The spy is also sincere, a messenger like him, since it has been exposed, then there is no point in hiding it, it is better to be open-minded and give cover to the people behind.

Tian Yu nodded, and then let the spy retreat, as if nothing had happened today, and at the same time handed the letter in his hand to Kuai Meng beside him, and sighed softly in his mouth.

"I never thought that the old man would have the opportunity to go back, it's really.... It's really worthy of the trust of King Wei! ”

Kuaimeng looked at the news in the letter, and finally brought a smile, "Boy, congratulations to the adults for having the opportunity to return to Northern Xinjiang, but the boy still has to ask you more, have you really thought about it?" ”

"After thinking about it, after returning to Youzhou, the old man will simply stop asking about the world, there is no need to worry about those things anymore, the old man has been tired all his life, can't he rest well?"

After Kuaimeng heard his decision, he didn't say more, but arched his hand towards Tian Yu, leaving the space here to Tian Yu himself, and he turned around and returned to Wancheng.

The letter just now came from Han Long, or rather, it was the news that Han Long had just gotten, and now the northern frontier has made waves again, and the three Xianbei tribes have begun to fight and merge, and now the three major tribes of Xianbei have been reshuffled.

From the east of Gaoliu and the west of Hao, there are ten tribes of Xianbei people, originally these people are fighting each other, although the power is getting bigger and bigger, but after all, they can't make too much of a threat to the Han, so the Han doesn't have much idea about them.

Let them develop, and when they are almost integrated with each other, it will hurt a lot of vitality, and then the big Han will send troops to kill this group of damn Xianbei people in one fell swoop, which is good for everyone.

And then.... This time they miscalculated.

This time, the Xianbei people did not continue to fight and fight as in previous years, but divided into three major forces, Bineng, Mika, and Suli divided the area and led it, each with its own territory, it can be said that the entire Xianbei tribe was divided into three again.

Moreover, Kebineng, the most powerful of them, has great resentment against the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that he is in a situation where he will never die with the Han Dynasty.

With the existence of this-stirring stick, it is now unstable outside the state, and the general of Yanmen is also full of lawsuits, and I don't know if I should send troops.

This is not the most headache, when the state is chaotic, there is a problem again in Youzhou in the other direction.

I don't know where a Wuhuan king came out of nowhere, or is it called Gu Jin, and now the Wuhuan tribe has been entangled again, maybe they feel that Cao Zhang is no longer in the imperial court, so no one can restrain them.

Xian Yufu asked for help several times, but unfortunately Cao Pi couldn't help him at all now.

At the same time as the Wuhuan people were making a fuss, the old horse thief Black Wind Horse Thief in Youzhou also appeared again, and Gao Ai, as the leader of the Black Wind Thief, directly plundered in Youzhou, making the entire Youzhou people miserable.

Youzhou and Jizhou merged before, but now it's good, Jizhou Assassin Shi ignores the affairs of Youzhou, this is still a certain village people risked their lives to find Han Long, only to get the news, when Han Long spared a big circle, let Li Hao find out the matter, it has been a while, and the entire Youzhou battlefield has been eroded.

For this matter, Cao Pi directly issued an order to let Li Hao transfer to Yecheng from now on, not only letting those people in Xudu live, but also starting many people in Yecheng to write resignations overnight, planning to resign and return to their hometowns.

But how to rectify them is a matter of later story, now the Central Plains is also in chaos, Tian Yu is safe, his future has been determined, that is, to return to the northern Xinjiang, take the damned Wuhuan people, as well as bandits and horse bandits, back to their hometowns one by one, and tell them that some people cannot be provoked.

Han Long, who got the news, was in a much better mood, and after asking Cao Zhang's consent, he handed over the letter to Tian Yu through the hand of the school office, which could be regarded as letting him prepare early.

Now Jingzhou is in chaos, Tian Yu, the guard of Nanyang County, is too important, he can't move now, so he has to stay here for the time being, but at most four months, he will set off to Youzhou, which is already a piece of Milan, and he can't give him much support.

Prepare early, have a way.

At this time, under the city of Xiangyang, a large number of Cao troops had already appeared.

Chen Shao, as the chief general of Jiangdong, looked at the seemingly innumerable Cao army below, as well as the steady stream of troops, and the panic in his heart still appeared.

"Have you figured it out?" Chen Shao watched the scout come back and couldn't wait to ask, "Who are the groups of people down there?" ”

The scout swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said embarrassedly, "General Hui, the banners below are complicated, and now you can see the banner of the right general Xu Zi, which should be the general Xu Huang, but the banner of the main general of the army is the word Xiahou, I don't know which one of the Xiahou family it is!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Shao was really stunned, "Xiahou family? Xiahou Yuanrang is dead, and the news has also come, which other character in the Xiahou family can be Xu Huang's main general? ”

There are no more people in the Xiahou family generation, and among the second generation, there are indeed many people who can lead troops, but it is really impossible to find anyone who is qualified to be Xu Huang's main general.

"Now the Cao family has also begun to do this kind of thing, a general who can fight well, but he can only be a deputy general for the junior of the Xiahou family, and he should die in the Cao family, and he should rise in Jiangdong!"

Chen Shao's words were very ugly, but no one refuted him, because everyone felt that the Cao family was indeed no one now, if it was Cao Ren, maybe his seniority dog, as for the ability....

"What kind of ability can a guy who was hammered into a dog by Guan Yu with his eyes closed!"

Chen Shao sneered and continued, "Who else appeared from Wancheng, it should be Cao Ren, but there are others?" ”

"Back to the general, look at the flag and there is a big banner full of words, it should be Runan Taishou, and General Yangwu is full of favors!"

Chen Shao nodded, although the appearance of Man Pet here is a bit of a headache, but it is not incomprehensible, after all, these old Man Pet and Cao Ren are also old partners, at the beginning of the battle in Fancheng, if it wasn't for Man Pet to detain Cao Ren, I am afraid that the outcome of the war, I really don't know what kind of changes will happen.

Even if Guan Yu had a plan, if Fancheng was empty, he really wouldn't mind taking Fancheng down with him, and then changing his strategy.

But none of this is important, Chen Shao is more concerned about another thing, "That... Did Tian Guorang appear? ”

The scout thought for a while, "I didn't see the banner of Nanyang County, nor did I see the banner of Tian Guorang, and Bai Ma Yi never found out, it should be that there were no troops, at least not in an open and honest manner!" ”

Chen Shao nodded, although the scouts did not dare to guarantee that Nanyang County did not send troops, but at least it could prove that Tian Yu did not send troops openly, after all, Fancheng is now an empty city, and Xiangyang is in the hands of the Jiangdong army.

At this time, if you send troops to Wancheng, it is likely to be a surprise attack, that is, Tian Yu will appear, I am afraid that I will not dare to make a big fanfare, and Wancheng in the province will be raided by the Jiangdong army.

"Pass the order, all armies must not go out of the city in vain, the whole army will be stubborn, as long as Xiangyang is held, it will be victory!" Chen Shao is worthy of being a general pushed out by Jiangdong, although he doesn't have many bells and whistles, but he can feel their pulse.

Now although the Cao army is strong and numerous, it cannot achieve an overwhelming advantage.

And they belong unclearly, the inexplicable juniors of the Xiahou family, as well as the experienced Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, plus Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, who are bent on saving their face, and the iron-faced selfless full of favor and Boning.

Don't look at the fact that they are attacking Xiangyang together now, but as long as they hold Xiangyang and firmly hold Xiangyang in their own hands, they will not be able to do this all the time.

They want to be intimate, Chen Shao, who others believe it or not, doesn't know, anyway, Chen Shao himself definitely doesn't believe it, so simply, he treats this place as his lair, and if he uses a procrastination trick to the end, he doesn't believe that Cao Ren can spend all the time here with him.

Cao Ren wants to lure the enemy deeper, Sun Quan wants to borrow a knife to kill people, this is not a problem, this is no problem, Chen Shao also understands it very well.

But Chen Shao also understands another thing, that is, Cao Ren's lure of the enemy gave him an excellent opportunity, Sun Quan wanted to kill people with a knife but he didn't care about the overall situation, as long as he dragged Cao Ren and the others here and consumed their main force here, Sun Quan would definitely send troops.

Because of the opportunity to send it to the door, Sun Quan can't do it!

"All the soldiers, from today onwards, three shifts of guard, you can't relax for a quarter of an hour, even if you block it with your own corpse, you have to talk about blocking the city gate!

Each general, leading his subordinates to guard the city, twelve hours a day, must ensure that the patrol is continuous, there are no people, except for our Jiangdong army, there is no living person in this Xiangyang city, as long as you find a living person, kill immediately!

The slogan is one side every day, in case there is a tunnel for the enemy's spies to sneak into the city, the urn and the things that start the fire are arranged in the city, don't have an accident, someone must watch at any time!

At the beginning, the soldier surnamed Lu was able to block Guan Yu outside Xiangyang City with 10,000 troops in his hands, and today we have tens of thousands of athletes in Jiangdong, can we still stop him from being a Cao Zixiao? ”

Chen Shao continued to boost morale, and the people of the accompanying family were constantly rewarded, telling them how much money and land they could give them to hold Xiangyang City, so that their children and grandchildren would be carefree, and some even promised to let their children go to school with the school at home.

In this case, a group of soldiers are like wild wolves, and they begin to howl incessantly, and their morale begins to rise continuously, just waiting for the arrival of the army, and then fight to the death!

At this time, all the armies outside Xiangyang City had already joined together, Cao Wei Che Cavalry General, Chen Hou Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao were in the main position.

General Yangwu, Runan County Shouman Favored Man, although he has the lowest official position, he is Cao Ren's military advisor, so he stands at the bottom left of Cao Ren.

And Cao Pi's personal free cavalry attendant, the general of Zhengnan Xiahou Shang was also standing in the first place on the right at this time, and the only real general in this big tent, the right general Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, sat at the end.

Although this was only the first meeting between the four of them, this sort of arrangement made Xu Huang a little embarrassed.

But embarrassment is embarrassment, Xu Huang didn't show any other opinions, just honestly, looking at the people in the tent with a smile on his face, waiting for his orders!

"Report!" Before Cao Ren and them could speak, there was a sound outside the tent, and Cao Ren's lieutenant general, the newly acquired brave general Gao Qian, also walked into the big tent at this time and bowed down to Cao Ren, "General Qiyu, we have taken out all the siege equipment that we had hidden before, and at the same time, the tunnel has been found, and the city can be broken at any time!" ”

"Good!" Cao Ren slapped the table and shouted, while explaining to everyone, "I, Cao, have never done that unprepared thing, and when I abandoned Xiangyang, I had already dug a tunnel in Xiangyang City, and at the same time hid the siege equipment!" 、

If it's getting late today, and when it's night, I'll raid Xiangyang together, and then use siege equipment to feint the city wall of Xiangyang all the way, and then rush into Xiangyang City through the tunnel with elite soldiers, and break through Xiangyang City in one fell swoop! ”

Although Xiahou Shang pursed his lips after hearing this, and Man Zhong frowned when he heard it, but looking at Cao Ren with a proud face, they still chose to give up their promise.

On the contrary, it was Xu Huang, who didn't say anything, as if you were right, you had the final say, what you say, we are what we are.

When they returned to their respective camps, they looked at Cao Ren with great favor, and they didn't say anything for a long time, he and Cao Ren have known each other for a long time, he knows Cao Ren's character, and he also knows that Cao Ren now ignores everyone and has to go to war with Jiangdong, just to save his face and give himself a qualification to succeed Xiahoudun.

But in doing so, Man Chong always felt that something would happen to him, after all, he was too confident, the people of Jiangdong were not fools, from Sun Jian to Sun Ce, from Sun Ce to Sun Quan, how much people who looked down on their Jiangdong Sun family were killed by them Jiangdong in the end, and Man Chong didn't want Cao Ren to be the next!

But now, Man Pet really doesn't know how to say this, so he can only sigh.

In the other big camp, back in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiahou Shang General Xu Huang stopped, "General Gongming, the war is about to start, I can't wait like this anymore, why don't you say a few words, but also let a certain family have a bottom in their hearts!" ”

However, Xiahou Shang had already lowered his posture so low, Xu Huang still didn't show anything, but arched his hand towards Xiahou Shang, "If the general has any orders, just say it, the last general will definitely obey the general's orders!" ”

After finishing speaking, he saluted there motionless, as if Xiahou hadn't let him get up, he really didn't move.

Looking at this guy who was older than his uncle, Xiahou Shang also sighed helplessly, and then waved his hand, "General Gongming should be tired, go back and rest, don't be too tired, you still need generals to fight on the battlefield in the future!" ”

"The Last General's Order!" After Xu Huang finished speaking, he saluted respectfully again, and then slowly withdrew, from etiquette to attitude, he was respectful, so that people couldn't find any fault, which made Xiahou Shang feel uncomfortable.

"Why is that?" Seeing that Xu Huang had already walked away, Xiahou Shang kicked over the table next to him and kicked it several times before calming his mood.

"Is it useful to vent like this?" Just when Xiahou Shang was full of anger, a voice came from his side, it was Cao Zhang, who had just come out from behind the screen.

"Third brother, me too.... I can't stand General Xu Huang's attitude, he is obviously angry in his heart, even if he has great anger, what does it have to do with a certain family, and it is not that a certain family has done something wrong, look at his.... Ay! Xiahou Shang saw that Cao Zhang seemed to have a place to vent, and complained about his grievances again and again, saying that Xu Huang was not good.

"Of course you didn't do anything wrong, so did Xu Huang do anything wrong?" Cao Zhang chuckled, "He obviously has a great contribution to the Cao family, but in the end, he ended up in such a situation, although he did not deprive him of his military power, but isolated his connections."

At the beginning, he was unruly and abandoned by his father, but now he is polite, but you dislike him for being yin and yang, so what are you going to do, General Xu Huang is so old, he has experienced the whole troubled times, if it is about seniority, he is probably not worse than our uncle Cao Ren. ”

"But..."Xiahou Shang still had to say something, but he closed it suddenly, he knew that this sentence could not be said in front of Cao Zhang, otherwise he would be beaten.

"You stinky boy, I know what you want to say, tell you, put away your thoughts as soon as possible, if a certain family knows that you still have this kind of mind after today, a certain family will definitely abolish your guy with his own hands!"

Listening to Cao Zhang's threat, Xiahou Shang scratched his head in embarrassment, indicating that he knew.

"I'll go talk to Gongming, we were friends in Xudu and Yecheng at the beginning, so you should be prepared!"

"No!" After Cao Zhang appeared, Xiahou Shang was happy to accept the order, and he was also used to this kind of behavior.

Cao Zhang protected his face, and then quietly removed Xiahou Shang's big tent, found the right direction, avoided the soldiers all the way, and walked towards Xu Huang.

"General Xu Huang, can you be in the tent?" came to Xu Huang's tent, stretched out his hand to stop the movements of Xu Huang's own soldiers, and then showed the token of General Zhengnan, telling them to hide away and not let people overhear them.

Xu Huang inside was closing his eyes to recuperate, and after hearing this call, he also frowned, and then straightened himself up, before shouting to the people outside.

"Come in, who are you, what are you looking for the old man!"

"Cao Zhang, the kid of the Cao family, has seen General You!" Cao Zhang took off his mask, and then said in a deep voice to Xu Huang, who was recuperating in his eyes, which frightened him and opened his eyes directly.
