Chapter 373: Sweeping Jiangdong
The matter in the land of Xuzhou can have come to an end, Guo Jia finally had some helplessness, and reported the situation here to Cao Cao, the king of Wei, after Cao Cao listened, it is said that he had no expression at that time. But in the end, he ordered that since Cao Xing had now appeared, there was no reason to let him go back, and he wanted to invite Cao Xing to come to their Xuchang for a walk and visit the scenery of their Wei Kingdom.
For this kind of thing, how could Cao Xuan agree, Cao Cao's meaning is also very simple, that is, Cao Xuan must not be let go. Even he went to Xuzhou in person in the name of parade, just to be able to completely arrest Cao Xing.
However, what made Cao Cao more distressed was that Cao Xing was not an idle person for him, and only three days later, the news of the Chen soldiers of the Qin State coming from Si Li's side came again, targeting him Wei State, Cao Cao was distressed, and he could only let his general Cao Ren strictly guard against it. Cao Ren is also under great pressure.
It took Cao Xing two months, and in these two months, Cao Xing and his Shenji battalion turned into merchants, incarnated as street peddlers and pawns, and moved back and forth in the major cities of Wei, and finally one day two months later, Cao Xing set foot on the territory of their Qin State.
When he learned that Cao Xing had returned to Qin, Cao Cao's expression was also quite helpless, and Guo Jia sighed and took the initiative to find Cao Cao in front of him and said.
"Lord, this is the fault of his subordinates, he failed to catch Cao Xing, and he failed to keep Lu Bu, and his subordinates are willing to be punished!"
However, after Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and patted Guo Jia directly on the shoulder, so that Guo Jia did not have to be discouraged.
Like the intelligence organization of Qin and Zhao, it has long been mature, and the method of treachery has long been played by the two countries, but the start of his Wei State is very late, and Cao Cao did not realize this problem, until the appearance of Guo Jia, there was the establishment of a ghost pawn, so until now, the intelligence organization of Wei is not as good as Qin and Zhao, which is also understandable.
Cao Cao not only did not reprimand Guo Jia, but also said that Guo Jia had merit, after all, it was all Guo Jia's credit to be able to conquer Xiapi this time, but Cao Cao also encouraged Guo Jia, although the current situation is relatively backward, but it can't be let go forever.
Guo Jia understood what Cao Cao meant, and immediately regained his confidence, and he issued a military order to Cao Cao, he would definitely build the intelligence organization of Wei into a stronger state of Qin and Zhao in the shortest possible time.
In this way, everything can almost come to an end, it is worth mentioning that after returning to the Qin State, the first thing Cao Xing did was to summon a prisoner, to be precise, it was not his Cao Xing's captive, but the prisoner who was rescued by his Cao Xing, this person was also Gao Shun, the general under Lu Bu.
Cao Xuan personally carried the gun and ordered the soldiers to charge, even if he was desperate, he had to give Guo Jia a shot, but Cao Xuan found out that Guo Jia's guy was also hiding extremely well, anyway, he Cao Xing could not kill him from a distance, and in the end Cao Xing could only put it on the target, which happened to be the defeated Zhang Liao Gaoshun, who was locked up at the moment, so Cao Xing's people rushed into the prisoner of war camp and killed indiscriminately, and finally snatched Gao Shun out.
Cao Xuan just asked Gao Shun if he was willing to return to the Qin Kingdom, Gao Shun only hesitated for a moment, and then bowed his hand to Cao Xing: "The lord is above, and I, Gao Shun, am willing to surrender!" The ambition of the battle, there is death and no life! ”
Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled, after Gao Shun in history was captured alive by Cao Cao, he did not surrender, but chose death.
Cao Xing in his previous life, he also had a good analysis of the character of Gao Shun, the two major generals under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao Gao Shun, Zhang Liao finally took refuge in Cao Cao, but Gao Shun did not, if he wanted Gao Shun to surrender, there may be only one way, that is, to find a way to surrender with Lu Bu.
Anyway, Cao Cao in history listened to Liu Bei's words and killed Lu Bu, and Gao Shun naturally didn't think about it.
But now that Lu Bu is gone, Gao Shun has nowhere to go, but Cao and Gao Shun are the same, born in Bingzhou, plus Cao and Lu Bu have been friends for many years, and the two are also allies strategically, so Gao Shun surrendered to Cao Xing, which should be said to be a very normal thing.
Cao Xuan was in a good mood, but then he asked Gao Shun: "I want you to reorganize your trapping camp, how many soldiers and horses do you need!" ”
Gao Shun did not hesitate, and replied directly: "Eight hundred warriors are enough!" ”
"No!" Cao Xing looked at Gao Shun with burning eyes: "I know that you are a loyal and righteous person, I hope that the trap camp you have trained can be immortalized in the future generations, this time I will give you 3,000 people, what I want to see is a brand new trap camp!" ”
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, if you talk about special troops, Xiang Juyi's first camp is a unit, but there is also a special force in the hands of others Gao Shun, which is called the trap camp, to be honest, Cao Xing has not seen the real power of the trap camp until now, since Gao Shun is here, Cao Xing will definitely make this army famous all over the world.
Gao Shun took refuge in the Qin State, but Zhang Liao, who was not rescued by Cao Xing, also took refuge in the Wei State, this may be the trajectory of history, it is said that when Cao Cao went to meet the prisoners of war, he was also happy to see Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao was willing to return, Cao Cao was even more anxious, and also gave Zhang Liao a lot of benefits, anyway, Zhang Liao also gained a firm foothold in the Wei State, just like that, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun completely parted ways.
Another prince was destroyed in the world, and the disappearance of Lu Bu seemed to have some impact on many people, anyway, the world was silent, for a while.
It was this short period of time, but it gave Cao Sex a safe and comfortable life, during this time, Cao Sex returned to his capital Luoyang, and organized the government affairs of the court with peace of mind, and his life was still comfortable.
It was also during this period of time that Cao Xuan also completed a major event in his life, Xiao Man was already pregnant, when the news was confirmed from Zhang Ji, Cao Xing's heart was overjoyed, and he hugged Xiao Man next to him, and Xiao Man was also blushing, and Cai Yan next to him was also happy.
Taking advantage of the strength of the happy eyebrows, Cao Xuan worked overtime, and finally three months later, Cai Yan also came with good news, which can be described as double happiness, Cao Xuan was a little incredible, I didn't expect to be a father so soon. It's exciting and nervous.
At the beginning of 196 A.D., a baby cooed and fell to the ground, which was the first child born by Xiao Man for Cao Xing, a baby boy, which also means that the Qin State finally has a successor, from the king to the dawn people, they are very happy.
Cao Xuan held the baby in his arms, looked at his fleshy little face, pink little hands, and was very happy in his heart, Xiao Man next to him looked at Cao Xuan and said with a smile, and asked Cao Xuan to choose a name for his child.
However, Cao Xing is a little distressed about this, and choosing a name is really a technical job.
Even Cao Xing brought in all the people of Fengyun, Jia Kui, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and others, and asked them to help their son come up with a name.
Fengyun and they are all young people, although they are actively thinking about their names, but when they say the name, Cao Xing has a little sniffing, and in the end, Jia Xu said a more vulgar sentence with a smile.
"Lao Tzu fights the world, his son sits in the world, the moment the prince is born, he is also given some kind of mission, in the future to be the world of Qin, will be guarded by him, I don't think so, since you want to protect a country, then you must have a high level of literacy, very profound knowledge, it is better to call Cao Li!"
When he said this name, Cao Xu's first thought was to think of it, there seemed to be a celebrity in the past, called Fan Li, when he thought of this, Cao Xuan looked at Jia Xu's smiling look, Cao Xuan instantly understood, what does Jia Xu mean? He looked at his young son, who was still sleeping peacefully there.
In the end, Cao Xing smiled and nodded and called Cao Li, in the future he will protect the world of Qin, this is a heavy responsibility, it is easy to fight the world, it is difficult to guard the world, in the future he may encounter more difficulties than Cao Xing, Cao Xing hopes that he can control all this, control all the people's hearts, and let the Qin country last for a hundred years. He may be burdened with more missions.
In this way, Cao Xing's first son, Cao Li was born, although Cao Xing was in a good mood, but Cao Xing did not forget that now he is the monarch of Qin, and he should pay more attention to the major events in the world, after all, the world has not been completely unified.
Because of the disappearance of Lu Bu, the major princes were immersed for a while, but this 196 A.D. had just begun, and the battle began again, as for the first to start the battle, it was in the Jiangdong area. The part of Jiangdong is mainly the state of Wu established by Sun Jian, although Sun Jian is a hero, but he was unlucky, and finally died under the random arrows of a small soldier in the state of Chu, which does make people sigh a little.
But it didn't take long for his successor to come forward, and it was his son Sun Ce.
Sun Ce took his father's body from Huang Zu with tears, and Huang Zu was still there with a big grin, asking Sun Ce to promise a series of things, Sun Ce did not squeak, all of them endured silently.
Originally, everyone thought that Sun Ce was just a teenager in his early twenties, and he should be grieved by his father's death after he came back, but he never expected that after Sun Ce came back, he first appeased his mother and brothers, and then held his father's funeral, but the funeral was relatively simple, according to Sun Ce's words, everything was simple.
In the following time, although Sun Ce did not start a war, he did not launch a retaliation.
But he was in Jiangdong to appease the people and extinguish the forces that did not obey.
During this period, Sun Ce's main achievement was that all parts of Jiangdong were gradually pacified, and the people's livelihood and economy were greatly recovered. After a short period of development, Jiangdong is about to become the former rich township, if you ask why Jiangdong is developing so fast, it is only because of the Yangtze River moat, this natural barrier waiting, whether it is the economy or people's livelihood, can be rapid development, this is an objective reason.
However, if there are no talents, even if you have good resources, it is difficult to make a difference, so during Sun Ce's reign. The general trend appoints meritocracy, and in terms of civil servants, there are several people who are more prominent.
For example, a young man named Zhou Yu, who is said to be the brother of Sun Ce, began to vigorously rectify the military after he came, and the Jiangdong naval army was quickly formed.
There are also two brothers from the same place called Zhang Zhao and Zhang Xuan, the two of them are also under the command of Sun Ce, although the two of them are older, but they are both famous local celebrities, the reason why Jiangdong is developing so fast, the two of them are indispensable. Even the big Confucians on the rich side of Jiangdong are vying to vote.
On the side of the generals, he surrendered Tai Shici. subdued Ling Cao and the others. As a result, Jiangdong's power began to grow rapidly.
Although all these exploits made by Sun Ce are very dazzling, many people have mixed opinions about Sun Ce's practices.
Because Jiangdong was able to develop so fast, it was because Sun Ce used thunder methods. Everything is a fast and powerful development, during this period, although many families have taken refuge in Sun Ce and made great contributions to the development of Jiangdong, there are also some unsatisfied families, they seem to be some do not want to buy Sun Ce's account, and even hinder the development of Jiangdong.
With Sun Ce's violent temper, where can he endure it, so he also ignored the opposition of his subordinates, since these families didn't want to listen to him Sun Ce, then they were all arrested and killed.
Therefore, one tragedy after another was also staged in Jiangdong, and those people from the family who usually seemed to be high above were now screaming fiercely, and finally became the soul of Sun Ce's knife. And among these families, there are many famous families, but all this is not important to Sun Ce, anyway, these people don't accept the killing.
Jiangdong developed steadily and upward, after more than a year of hard work, Sun Ce conducted a military parade, and found that the morale of his soldiers was sufficient and the food was sufficient, so he directly faced the west and faced the side of the Chu State, and shouted out the deepest roar in his heart.
"Give back my father's life!"
Sun Ce personally led his men and horses, with the general Zhou Yu Cheng Pu and others as the vanguard, and directly led the soldiers and horses to attack Jiangxia again, it is said that when the Chu State heard the news, it was a little shocked at first, and then became unimpressed.
After hearing the news, Liu Biao, the king of Chu, directly said a word to Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, this is his own grievance between Huang Zu and Sun Ce, so Huang Zu must find a way to solve it by himself.
In fact, in the state of Chu is also a place where there are many families, when the history of the abolition of the pasture, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, but he quickly calmed down Jingzhou and sat firmly in the position of the state pastor, many of which are the merits of the family, among which Huang Zu's family is also one of the important members, it is precisely because Huang Zu's family has made great achievements for Liu Biao, so he Huang Zu sat firmly in the position of Jiangxia Taishou.
