Chapter 444: Arrest Xun Yu and talk about loyalty and treachery

Zhang Ming decided to send troops to attack Cao Cao, and he would personally lead his troops to fight Cao Cao.

Shouchunnan is most of Yangzhou.

To the west of Shouchun, is most of Yuzhou.

Shouchun is stuck in between.

Cao Cao personally guarded Shouchun in order to block Zhang Ming's attack.

And Zhang Ming will personally lead his troops to attack Shouchun this time.

Zhang Ming personally raised an army of 100,000.

In addition, Zhang Ming ordered Xi Zhicai to mobilize an army of about 100,000 to 200,000 to take down Sili, Nanyang and other places.

Then from west to east, Yuzhou was also taken down.

Zhang Ming led an army of 100,000 to set off first and killed Shouchun.

At this time, he brought all the generals over.

Along the way, there is a lot of time.

Everyone in the world is watching this big battle.

100,000 troops, most of the generals.

Cao Cao urgently requisitioned some soldiers and horses from the surrounding area, and then asked Cao Ang to transport another batch of grain and grass in.

In Shouchun City, many of Cao Cao's generals and strategists were there.

"How's the grain and grass ready?"

"That's enough to eat for three years." Xun Yu replied.

Cao Cao was very satisfied, this time he was going to drag Zhang Ming here.

"Continue to hoard materials to defend the city, we will drag Zhang Ming down, and other places will be able to develop rapidly."

At this time, Xun You said worriedly: "Lord, Zhang Ming was dragged by us, and we were also dragged by Zhang Ming. ”

One of the staff members immediately said: "How can you just give up a huge territory like this?" ”

Xu You said: "Meng De, if Zhang Ming is unfavorable to fight here, he will definitely attack Sili and Yuzhou and wait for you, you should make arrangements first." ”

Cao Cao said: "I sent the generals Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to guard Yuzhou. ”

"Send Xiahoudun, Zhang Xiuzhen Shousili, Nanyang and other places."

Cao Cao sent four generals and was not ready to give up directly.

They don't have many troops there, but if they hold on, they can hold Zhang Ming back for a while.

To the south, Cao Ang continued to open up a lot of territory and develop it carefully.

Cao Cao nervously prepared, he imagined that if he could hold Zhang Ming here for a few years.

After that, Cao Ang took the opportunity to develop, maybe they still have a chance.

Zhang Ming went all the way south, and the momentum was huge.

Getting closer.

The flag was unprecedented.

Finally, after more than ten days, Zhang Ming arrived at a place thirty miles outside Shouchun City.

Zhang Ming was stationed there, and then began to mobilize grain and grass from the surrounding places.

They didn't rush in easily.

In addition, in several other places, there are also signs of soldiers and horses assembling towards Shouchun.

Everything shows that Zhang Ming wants to attack Shouchun.

If Cao Cao, Liu Xie, and Cao Cao's main generals can be trapped in Shouchun, it will definitely be a big victory.

Cao Cao thought the same thing, he used himself as bait, as well as his advisers and generals.

On this day, after Cao Cao sent people to investigate, he summoned his advisers.

"Wen Ruo, Zhongde, you two should go out of the city, go to the south to find Ang'er, and help Ang'er."

"In this battle, Ben Hou may be besieged in the city, and he may not even be able to get out, so he can't let Ang'er have no one around him."

Both of them were good at governance, and Cao Cao planned to send them both to assist Cao Ang.

"But tomorrow I'll be out of town."

Xun Yu agreed, and it was useless for him to stay.

Actually, Xun Yu didn't really want to stay, fighting was not his specialty, he was a good hand at handling internal affairs.

Moreover, Xun Yu is loyal to the Han Dynasty, but now Cao Cao has always been in charge, and the emperor has been completely hollowed out.

Even if the emperor is set up, the most important thing is that the prestige of the imperial power has been hit.

At this time, where does the Han still have a little prestige in the hearts of the people.

Xun Yu has always blamed Cao Cao, it was he who let the imperial power fall to this point.

The imperial power has been hit by Zhang Ming, again and again.

This time, Zhang Ming openly shouted for Liu Xie to give way to Liu Jin.

As a result, Cao Cao had no choice.

Only one notice of reprimand can be issued.

The imperial power has weakened to this point, Xun Yu is very cold.

Cao Cao asked the two strategists to go out, while Cheng Yu still had something to do in the city.

He was a strategist that Cao Cao relied on very much, and he was familiar with many of the arrangements in the city, so he needed to stay for a few days and arrange it.

The next day, Xun Yu went out of the city under the escort of more than 100 people.

At this time, Zhang Ming's army was still stationed thirty miles away, and at the same time mobilized grain and grass to make siege equipment.

In fact, the real situation is that Zhang Ming is barbecuing again.

He called a few of his men and barbecued together.

"Big brother, it's a pity that you can't drink." Zhang Fei said while eating rabbit legs.

Guan Yu tore open a large piece of rabbit meat and sent it to his mouth.

"When the battle is over, after I go back, the eldest brother will definitely let me have a good drink."

A group of people eating meat.

Suddenly, a fast horse came and was stopped a hundred meters away.

A soldier ran in.

"Report to the lord, more than 100 people came out of Shouchun City to escort a carriage to the south."

Every day, scouts send in a lot of information.

If Zhang Ming is here, he will handle it personally.

"Big brother, I'm idle, why don't you take someone on a trip and take a look?" Zhao Yun suddenly wanted to seize the fighter.

There is a lot of information on Cao Jun's movements every day.

However, Zhang Ming didn't let him move.

"Okay, you personally lead the special operations team, follow up, don't be in a hurry to do it, two days later, find a time when the night is dark and the wind is high, and the people in the carriage, if they are women and children, must not be harmed."

"If it's not a woman or a child, try to keep it alive and send it back."

"No."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he finished eating the meat in his hand in three times and two times.

However, he didn't bother to wipe his hands and left immediately.

It made several other generals greedy.

Gao Shun, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others only have to watch.

"After eating this meal, some of you should also go on the road, Zhang He and Xu Rong, leave secretly, go to Jizhou, assist Xi Zhicai, and prepare to attack Si Li."

"The rest of the generals, wait for me to besiege Shouchun before leaving."

Zhang Ming did not immediately besiege the city, but slowly consumed it here, so that Cao Cao could mobilize more troops to Shouchun.

At that time, Zhang Ming and their attack on Si Li and Yuzhou will be much easier.

Zhang Ming continued to mobilize the army, and many large armies were mobilized towards him.

It's just an illusion.

But it's true that a lot of grain and grass were brought over.

Zhang Ming never attacked, but Cao Cao was on high alert.

At night, Zhang He and Xu Rong left quietly.

And the other generals are still waiting.

Zhao Yun led fifty special combat teams, but he did not directly follow the team that was being investigated.

Instead, he led his soldiers and horses to the front, and there were scouts to reconnoitre, constantly informing Zhao Yun of the news.

Zhao Yun was very smart, and he had been twenty or thirty miles ahead of them.

If you follow behind, you will be discovered, and if you are in front, you will not be discovered.

So, what if they are rerouted?

It didn't matter, they had a carriage in their ranks, ready to catch up at any time and make a detour ahead of them.

Indeed, Zhao Yun's methods are very good, they are all very fast special forces, and this team has not discovered them.

They will patrol and reconnoitre, front and back, and even for miles.

However, there was a reconnaissance of about three miles ahead.

It's not that they're careless, they're already very cautious in their own territory.

Zhao Yun has been following.

After waiting for two days, they had already determined the general direction for tomorrow, so one night, they figured out where they camped and prepared to start.

On this day, they happened to be camping in the wilderness.

Zhao Yun immediately made a decision and led someone to touch it.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun and the others quietly approached.

Then slowly touch the guards.

By the time these guards found out, there were already more than twenty people left, which was not enough for Zhao Yun and the others to kill.

Easily wiped out the group of guards.

Xun Yu had already gotten up when he heard the movement.

When he got up, he sat down peacefully in the tent.

Zhao Yun and the others lifted the tent, and Xun Yu'an sat there.

"Kill if you want to."

"No, my eldest brother wants to see you, come with us."

Zhao Yun saw that he was a middle-aged man, although he didn't know who he was, but looking at the posture, his status should not be low.

Xun Yu was put on a war horse, led by a soldier, and then left quickly.

On the way, Zhao Yun did not interrogate.

When it was almost dawn, Cao Cao's soldiers found that the team had been attacked, and Xun Yu was nowhere to be found.

was shocked, and hurried back to report to Cao Cao.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Ming and Cao Cao received the news at the same time.

Zhao Yun and the others needed to make a detour and stealth, and Cao Cao's soldiers found out relatively late.

Cao Cao burst into tears.

"Now it's unwritten again, heavens."

Cao Cao was extremely grief-stricken.

Xun Yu is indeed a good hand in governance, before he fought in the south and the north, Xun Yu has been preparing grain and grass for him in the rear.

Cao Cao was really in pain.

Xun Yu, Wang Zuozhicai.

I can help him a lot.

Although, Cao Cao has always understood that this Xun Yu has never been loyal to him, he is loyal to the Han family and to orthodoxy.

However, Xun Yu would not cause trouble for Cao Cao.

He has been diligent in handling government affairs.

That's why Cao Cao grieved.

And Zhang Ming also received the news.

He personally greeted him at the gate of the barracks.

"Wen Ruo, let's meet for the first time."

"Liaohou."

Xun Yu arched his hand, but his tone was not friendly.

"Mr. Wenruo, please inside, thin wine has been prepared."

Since Xun Yu was arrested, it was impossible to go back, so he was calm in his heart and walked over directly.

Xun Yu sat down, and Zhang Ming poured wine.

"Liaohou, you are a great traitor."

The soldiers around the "bold" shouted, and when they scolded, they were about to draw their swords.

"Go down, you don't have to wait here." Zhang Ming stretched out his hand to stop them.

Xun Yu took another sip of wine, and then said: "You received the great favor of the first emperor, but you did great rebellious things, are you a traitor?" ”

"Yes, I am the number one traitor, Cao Cao Dong Zhuo, can only rank second."

Zhang Ming lined Cao Cao with Dong Zhuo, but Xun Yu did not object.

In Xun Yu's heart, Cao Cao is indeed a big traitor.

"Shameless."

Xun Yu saw Zhang Ming's generous admit, and was speechless.

Zhang Ming continued: "I am indeed the number one traitor to the Han royal family, and I have long had the intention of usurping the country. ”

Zhang Ming also picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

"However, Ben Hou is the first good person to the people of the world, and only I can make the people of the world live a good life."

"The royal family of the Han Dynasty can't do it, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't do it, but I, Zhang Ming, can do it."

"Under my rule, the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"I am a traitor to the Han royal family, but I am loyal to the people of the world."

Zhang Ming's confession is from the bottom of his heart.

He thinks so, and he does.

However, Xun Yu did not agree, and still treated him as a traitor.

"Zhang Ming, your identity as a traitor will be difficult to clear for the rest of your life."

Zhang Ming took a sip of wine and said, "Loyalty and treachery are not up to you, nor is it up to me. ”

"It's what the people of the world say, the Han family is incompetent, and the people are not happy, so he should be overthrown."

"In the future, the dynasty I established will also decay one day, and when the time comes, it should also be overthrown."

"You also want to build your own dynasty." Xun You trembled with anger.

"That's right, I will be called the king and the emperor, and no one can stop the world."

There is no need for Zhang Ming to lie to him, there is no need to hide anything.

Xun Yu also calmed down at this time.

Indeed, no one could stop Cao Cao.

Xun Yu also saw that Cao Cao was nothing more than a little more delay.

After all, no one could stop Zhang Ming's Bingfeng.

"You are an executioner, and the people of the future will naturally remember your sins."

Zhang Ming was angry at all.

He ate something and said slowly: "Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, so happy, and in the end, others also remember that he has the same book, the same track, and the world is unified." ”

"And Benhou, build the road connecting the world, create the imperial examination, and develop the canal in the future to occupy the land of the world, he will inevitably surpass Qin Shihuang and become the first emperor of the ages."

"Ridiculous, rebellious ministers and thieves, An can become an emperor through the ages."

Amusing?

Zhang Ming felt that Xun Yu was foolish.

Capable but not strategic.

"Yes, I can become the first emperor of the ages, that is, I can build a gallop road that links all counties in the world, and I can create a imperial examination to let more people study."

"On the world, spread the words of the saints, who is better than me, I have now made hundreds of thousands of people read."

Xun Yu couldn't refute these.

Zhang Ming continued: "History doesn't care who becomes the emperor, it only cares who becomes the emperor and what he has done. ”

"He Liu Bang can oppose Qin, why can't I oppose this rotten Han family."

Zhang Ming didn't have any awe for the Han family, which made Xun Yu unbearable.

"Xun Yu, although you read, but you are stupid, you should go around and see what the people need."

"They don't need a rotten Han family, the Han family can only bring them disasters."

"The life I give them is what they yearn for."

"You, just start here, walk back slowly, walk through village by village, and see what the people need."

Zhang Ming said this, why didn't Xun Yu understand.

Zhang Ming said: "I will send a few people to protect you, but also to monitor you, but will not interfere with your normal visits, you will go from Yanzhou to Xuzhou to Qingzhou, then to Jizhou, and finally to Youzhou, take a walk, travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, you still need to continue reading." ”

Xun Yu did not object, Zhang Ming did not detain him, did not let him surrender, and of course, it was impossible for him to leave.

At the end of the discussion, Zhang Ming asked a few special forces to take him away.

"Wang Zuozhicai, in the end, if you don't understand that the world is the world of the people of the world, you can only abandon it."
