Chapter 31: Half a Chief

The continuous rain finally stopped, the sun shone on the earth again, and the air after the rain was particularly fresh, making people feel a burst of relaxation. "8 update super fast" On such a day, Cao Ang returned to Xu Capital accompanied by Xu Yi. It was March of the third year of Jian'an.

Not long after returning to Xudu, the scouts came with two surprising news, one is that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao took the general Cai Mao as the governor, and led the troops to settle with Jing Wan, with bad intentions. The second is Guanzhong Chang'an Li Wei, Guo Yan's tyranny and heavy taxes, the anger of the heavens and the resentment, a year ago, Guo Yan was killed by the general Wu Xi. Today's Chang'an is stormy, and it is a good opportunity to recover!

In the chamberβ€”"Ladies and gentlemen. Cao Cao casually put down the report in his hand, frowned and said: "Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to send troops to Wanjing, obviously he has the intention of violating the realm, I don't know what his intentions are, what do the princes think about this?" ”

I saw Guo Jia frowning and suspicious: "Although Liu Biaoqi is outstanding in literature, his martial arts strategy has always been poor, and this time I don't know why, I dare to raise troops to invade the realm, I don't know what his intentions are." ”

Everyone also had doubts when they heard the words, only Jia Xu opened his eyes leisurely, and said softly: "Ming Gong, when he was in Wancheng in the past, he had visited Liu Biao with General Zhang Xiu, although he did not have the ambition of the Quartet, but he also belonged to the hero of one side, and his vision and wisdom were not lost to ordinary people, and now Wancheng is in the hands of Ming Gong, Jingzhou portal has leaked, Yanzhou tiger and leopard ride megatron, Jingzhou is rich and strong, and it is difficult to resist the iron horse pedaling, Liu Biao does not have the intention of attacking this time, but there is the heart of recapturing Wancheng and consolidating the Jingxiang portal. ”

Cao Cao nodded lightly when he heard this: "Yes, Liu Biaokong has a literary name, but his martial arts strategy is insufficient." It is expected that he will not dare to offend my realm, he must want to recapture Wancheng this time, consolidate the gateway of Jingzhou, but Guo Yan died a few years ago, Chang'an is turbulent, it is a good opportunity to recover Guanzhong, I ordered the servant to shoot Pei Mao to summon the Guanzhong generals Duan Xuan and others to conquest Li Dao, Cao must not move lightly at this time, so as to receive Chang'an at any time. But what about Wancheng? ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, the Guanzhong region is the place where the emperor and the emperor set up the capital. As for the Wancheng side, Zhang Xiu can fight habitually, when he can temporarily arrive, Ming Gong can send another good general to refuse to defend, Liu Biao's self-guarded disciples, need to resist once, and will not dare to come back in the future. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "Yes, in the land of Guanzhong, Cao is bound to win this time!" As for the Wancheng side, send others to help Zhang Xiu, Fengxiao, according to your opinion, the generals under the account, who can do this? ”

I saw Guo Jia smile slightly, and there was a little brilliance in the details, "I only saw Guo Jia, the Hou General had persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender at the beginning, and if he had the old, the Ming Gong could send the Hou General to go." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, since the battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang has indeed made many meritorious contributions, which has impressed Cao Cao and his subordinates, but if Cao Ang is allowed to lead an army alone and speak his conscience, Cao Cao is still a little worried, after all, in this regard, Cao Ang can be said to have no experience.

Xun Yu saw Cao Cao's hesitation, knowing that he was worried in his heart, and said: "If Duke Ming is not at ease, he can choose to recruit generals who are accustomed to war to assist the prince, and he can be safe." When Cao Cao heard this, he turned his head and asked Xun Yu: "In Wen Ruo's opinion, who should be sent to assist?" ”

"General Xu Huang can be in charge!" After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Okay, since this is the case, the future general Cao Ang and General Xu Huang will take the response and lead the people of the headquarters to Wancheng to help Zhang Xiu resist Liu Biao Cai Mao." Sitting alone in Xu Du, just waiting for news from Chang'an! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Not to mention that Cao Cao intended Cao Ang, Xu Huang went south to resist Liu Biao. At this time, after Sima Yi took care of the affairs of Wen County, he got up and came to Xudu, and when he arrived at the Hou General's Mansion, Cao Ang learned that Sima Yi was coming, and he personally went out of the mansion to greet him.

"Hahaha, Zhongda, please take a seat!" Two young people who were full of affection on the surface, but had their own thoughts in their hearts, walked into the main hall of the general's mansion, Cao Ang pulled Sima Yi, brought him to his side, and sat down comfortingly.

"Zhongda came to Cao Ang's mansion today, it is really God to help me, Cao prepared a little wine, and washed the dust for Zhongda, thinking that it was a pity." Cao Ang said as he raised his glass and drank with Sima Yi, and Sima Yi also raised a smile, and their minds were racing rapidly, thinking about each other's minds. Cao Ang, none of Sima Yi is a fuel-efficient lamp, and none of them are free masters.

"The general is too good." Sima Yi bowed his head as if he was flattered and said: "Sima Yi can take charge of the general's mansion and accompany the general, it is really a great blessing, and there should be no regrets in this life." ”

Cao Ang's heart was clear, but his mouth was modest: "Alas, how can Zhong Da say this, Cao Ang invited you to come, but he wanted to be a confidant brother, how can he be treated as a manager?" ”

"General, Sima Yi's talent is limited, and he is only worthy of being in charge of the house, if the general does not agree, Yi Wuyan is climbing his post." Cao Ang sighed secretly in his heart, but said with a light smile on his face: "Alas, even so, if Zhong Da insists on staying by Cao Ang's side, Cao Ang will find a house for Zhong Da near the left side of the General's Mansion, so that Zhong Da can come to the General's Mansion every day, but the position of steward is not deserved, I will order you to be the Sima of the 20,000 Dian Jing Division Guards under Cao Mou, and serve as the general manager of my General's Mansion, and take charge of all matters in the Mansion, I don't know what Zhong Da wants?" ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the cultivation of the general." Cao Ang waved his hand and chuckled: "You and I, one is the general's son, and the other is the commander of the army, both of whom are in two positions, but they are also quite compatible. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled for a moment, only to see Cao Ang continue: "This morning, my father got a military order, ordering Cao and General Xu Huang to lead the troops and horses south to conquer Cai Mao's army, I don't know what Zhong Da thinks about this?" After finishing speaking, he put down the wine cup with a smile, and the gaze in his eyes was deeply locked on Sima Yi.

"Zhong Da is a mediocre person, how dare he talk about world affairs." Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "Since he is already half of the head of my house, Zhong Da will not be humble when he talks to me in the future." ”

Sima Yi was silent when he heard this, but bowed his head and said: "If today, the relatively large movement is Hebei, the Central Plains, and the rest have not moved for the time being, in Yi's opinion, if the world is determined in the future, Hebei and the Central Plains will definitely fight!" In other words, unless one of Hebei Yuan Shao and Lord Sikong dies, there will be no peace in the world. ”

Cao Ang raised his forehead when he heard this, Sima Yi was not idle, and he came to the point in a few words. "It's just a general, forgive Sima Yi's words, the current situation, Yuan Shao already has a great advantage, and so on to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao can dominate Hebei, south and conquer the world, the rear is almost no harassment, and Sikong is different, Yanzhou four battles, there is Lu Bu in the east, Li Dao in the northwest, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, and Liu Biao in the south, it can be said that there are frequent constraints, even if there is a shocking talent, it is difficult to let go. In this way, compared to Yuan Shao, it is inferior. ”

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "What does Mr. mean by this?" Sima Yi said: "What Yi Zhi said is to tell the general that now Lord Sikong's top priority is to destroy Lu Bu in the east and collect Guanzhong in the west, so as to fight with Yuan Shao in the future. ”

Cao Ang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head and pondered, yes, it is easy to repel the Jingzhou army in this southern expedition, but I am afraid that I will make a feud with Liu Biao from now on, and I will always calculate you in the future, and then I will take care of the head and ignore the tail, what should I do. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but say lightly: "What is Zhongda's strategy to solve this situation?" Sima Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The two armies are fighting, if you want to retreat from the enemy without making the other party resent and counterattack, there is really no good way to forgive Yi." ”

Cao Ang nodded lightly when he heard this, this is indeed a little difficult, Liu Biao... Cai Mao... Liu Biao... Cai Mao? I saw Cao Ang wake up suddenly, ponder for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "It's not necessarily impossible." ”

Sima Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Cao Ang's words, and a ** rose in his heart, wanting to ask Cao Ang what he wanted, but the impulse was only fleeting, and then he bowed his head and was silent, leaving Cao Ang to ponder carefully.

I saw the morning sun shining on the two young people in the hall... seems to be praising the future achievements of the two, and it seems to be lamenting the unspeakable turmoil in the turbulent times: a general, half a manager.
