Chapter 399: Dead and Dead 4/4

The peace treaty seemed humiliating to Sun Ce, but in the eyes of others inside Jiangdong, it was still within an acceptable range. Many people even think that it is better to accept it than not to receive it. The content of the treaty was very simple, but it was to let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and others go to India, and Chen Cheng and Sun Shangxiang's son Sun Wulai would take over the position of Yangzhou pastor, and the Sun family's sailors would be taken over by the imperial court.

The original main fleet of the Navy will be divided into two, namely the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet. Among them, the Beiyang Fleet has Lushun, Qingdao, Shanghai and other ports as its main bases; The Nanyang Fleet is based in Guangzhou, Taipei, Java and other ports, and the Sun family's fleet, sailors, ports, overseas colonies and other places will be incorporated into the Nanyang Fleet.

"Damn! That person is Chen Cheng's son, and he is not surnamed Sun at all! ”

Sun Ce was much older and his temper was slightly better, but after seeing the contract sent by Chen Cheng, he was still angry. said angrily: "Bastard Chen Cheng, I changed my son's surname, and I want to occupy my grandson's inheritance!" ”

But everyone else welcomed Sun Wu to be the pastor of Yangzhou, no matter what, after all, it was Sun Shangxiang's son, and he also had the blood of the Sun family in his body. If he can win, then Sun Wu will definitely be regarded as an outsider. But now that he has lost, and he has lost very badly, then Sun Wu was immediately regarded by them as their own.

Sun Ce still wanted to continue to resist, but the hearts of the people below had already dispersed, and he could only sigh, and then ran away with tens of thousands of people to India. Sun Quan had just suffered a big defeat in India, and when the soldiers under his command were panicking, Sun Ce suddenly ran over with the remnants of the defeated army.

said that the remnants of the army were defeated, which was relative to the army of the imperial court. The princes of India were still in the era of mixing cold and hot weapons, and the Jiangdong Army was no different. However, Sun Ce's army has a large number of arquebuses and infantry cannons, which are all produced in the arsenal of the imperial court, and each one is marked with a mark, which can be traced back to the production workshop.

If there is a large-scale quality problem, it can be traced back to every producer. Because of the large-scale use of various machinery, the weapons produced by the imperial court have always been synonymous with sophistication. After Sun Ce arrived in eastern India, he quickly seized military power and led the Sun family's army to block the surging Cao army.

In the vicinity of Guangzhou before, Sun Jiajun hit his head and bleed in front of the sandbag fortress, this time Sun Ce came to "draw a gourd according to the scoop", and also placed more than a dozen simple fortresses on the traffic arteries. Although Cao Cao was a famous general in a hundred battles, he bullied the natives in India, or beat Sun Quan too much, and did not keep up with the pace of the times, and still used the phalanx to fight, and then he was beaten by Sun Ce all over his head.

After only one day of fighting, Cao's army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, which was too great a casualty, so Cao Cao could only order the soldiers to stop the attack, and then take his own soldiers to check Sun Cejun's position. Cao Mengde is now in his sixties, his beard and hair have turned a lot gray, and his complexion looks very bad, as if he is going to die at any time.

He carefully observed for a while, and then realized that in front of such a defensive position, there was no possibility of victory unless there were more and stronger artillery, and at least three times more troops. Even if it is defeated, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Today, there are more than a dozen large and small forces on the Indian continent. Although there are many local natives in the armies of various princes, the combat strength of the locals is really too bad, and the real fight is still a small number of elites composed of Chinese. The princes in the north were backed by the Governor's Mansion in the Western Regions, armed with many muskets and cannons, and were able to continuously replenish their population from China. If you lose too many troops, those people will pounce and bite them.

Now Cao Cao knew that the coach on the other side had changed from Sun Quan to Sun Ce, so he sighed and said, "It's hard for the lion to compete with it!" If Sun Zhongmou is conspired, he is only worthy of being my son! ”

Subsequently, Cao Cao sent an envoy to make peace with Sun Ce and return the captured Sun generals. Cao's army is still strong, and there is a cavalry of thousands of people. On the other hand, the Sun family has only three hundred war horses. On this continent, the number of Chinese is already small, and fighting each other will only take advantage of those natives.

The Indian subcontinent is big enough for these people to digest for tens or hundreds of years. Originally, Cao Cao thought that after unifying this continent, he would lead his troops back to Luoyang, but this battle made him realize that this wish could never be realized.

On the way to withdraw the troops, Cao Cao launched a high fever, and after barely returning to the lair, he fell directly into a coma. When he came to his senses, he immediately ordered someone to call Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Xiahoudun and others over and ask them about the future.

Cao Cao grabbed Cao Ang's hand and said with a heavy face: "I have three major hateful things in my life, one is that I have been defeated by Chen Wenzheng several times, so that I can only live in this reckless land; The second is that Liu Bei blocked me in Xuzhou for a long time, and after coming here, he blocked the road for our army to go north; The third is that the Eastern Expedition encountered Sun Ce, but he lost his troops but gained nothing.

These three things are all hated things in my life, and now I will hand you three arrows, you must keep these things in mind, and you must not forget! ”

Cao Ang said with tears in his eyes: "Father, please rest assured, the child will never dare to forget such a deep hatred. After the soldiers are sufficient, they will break Sun Ce first, and then go north to fight Liu Beijun to the death! When the Indian princes are destroyed, they will definitely fight back to China! ”

Cao Cao smiled palely and exclaimed: "Good son, ambitious!" ”

But then he reprimanded: "Nonsense! What defeats Sun Ce, what fights Liu Bei to the death, these things are not allowed to be mentioned again in the future! I gave you these three arrows, not to take revenge, but to let you know that even I can't take care of them, let alone think about it. Good life to keep the foundation of our Cao family, don't think about unifying the world anymore! ”

"Huh?"

Cao Ang was stunned, his father had been fighting in the east and west all these years, and he had laid down a large territory, and all he wanted was to go back to his hometown. Why did you suddenly change your mind before you died? Could it be that you are talking nonsense?

Seeing the expression on Cao Ang's face, why didn't Cao Cao understand what his son was thinking? He smiled bitterly and said, "After so many years of fighting, it is all Chinese who have died. If we continue to kill each other like this, I am afraid that the local people will rise up and rebel. Their population is 100 times larger than ours, so let's let the people of the country recuperate and have more children. ”

Now Cao Ang understood, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Father's words, the child must remember them in his heart, and he will never dare to forget them." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I usually dislike you for being too weak, but now I feel that your temperament is just right." Although the development is insufficient, the success is more than enough! Remember to take care of your younger brothers, only the clan relatives are the most reliable. The power of the army must be in the hands of one's own people, and cannot be controlled by others! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Cao said a lot, and finally couldn't say it anymore, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go out, I'm tired." ”

Everyone exited the door, and after a while, the cries of the surviving people were heard in the room, "The general has died!" ”

Outside the door, tears flowed down Cao Ang's face again. Xiahou said: "Now is not the time to be sad, Gongzi, please immediately convene the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to clarify the distinction between master and slave, this is the greatest filial piety!" How can merely weeping here satisfy the lord? ”

Cao Ang wiped away his tears and choked up: "What my uncle taught me is that I am now in turmoil, and I ask my uncle to help deal with things." ”

Xiahoudun then ordered the arrangement of the mourning hall, and asked the civil ministers and generals to come to Cao Cao's spirit, and said in public: "The lord has not started a business half and the middle way has collapsed, and before he died, he ordered the eldest son Cao Ang to inherit the position of general, and you still don't come forward to pay respects?" ”

He took the lead and bowed down, and most of the civil and military ministers had already regarded Cao Ang as Cao Cao's heir, and now they also knelt on the ground together, and said in unison: "See the lord!" ”

Cao Ang said: "Everyone is clear quickly, you are all your father's ministers of the humerus, and I will need your assistance in the future, so that I can sit in the position of a general." ”

He spoke very sincerely, and told Cao Cao's previous explanations to all the ministers one by one, which quickly stabilized people's hearts. The strategic goal of the Cao Group has also been changed from external expansion to cultivation and recuperation. The news of Cao Cao's death soon spread to the north, and when Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao was dead, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and said angrily: "Cao Mengde is dead, so who is my opponent?" Immediately gather troops and horses and go to attack Xinluo! ”

The so-called Xinluo, which means new Luoyang, was the political and military center of Cao's army in the south.

Liu Bei immediately sent people to call Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals to discuss the matter of sending troops together. Guan Yu is recognized as a master of defending the city, and when he was in Xuzhou, he was often surrounded by Cao Cao in the city and beaten, more than once or twice. After arriving in India, just after developing, he encountered Cao Cao's corpse, and after a scuffle between the two sides, Guan Yu was besieged in the city again.

Although the weapon was changed from spears, bows and arrows to muskets and cannons, Guan Yu's ability to defend the city still did not degrade. In the face of Cao's army's frantic attack, he calmly ordered his soldiers to open fire and smash Cao's army's offensive with solid and shotgun. With the new weapons, the defenders of the city are too much of an advantage. As long as there is enough ammunition and food, he can keep it all the time!

Later, Liu Beijun launched a counterattack against Cao Jun, and he also hit his head in front of Jiancheng. Since then, Guan Yu's tactical concept of "building a strong city and using cannons" has been strengthened. Now all the princes on the Indian continent are all in this way, even if they are as powerful as Cao Mengde, there is nothing they can do in front of the fortified cannons, and they can only rely on a long-term siege to force the other party to surrender.

Now that Cao Cao is finally dead again, just take advantage of the panic of Cao Jun's people to take down Xinluo!
