Chapter 300: Folding Arms
Zhuge Liang looked at such a car, frowned, and said secretly: What is the use of such a vehicle?
Hua Xin said with a smile on the side: "Before leaving, the emperor said: With the wisdom of Kong Ming, you can know the end when you see the picture." I don't know what Kong Ming knows after seeing it? ”
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I know." Ordinary vehicles could only use such heavy planks, and after this car was built, it was so strong that it must have been used by the emperor to make foot soldiers resist the Roman cavalry. ”
Hua Xin said: "Kong Ming is really a wise man. What the emperor said at the time was exactly what he meant. ”
Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Hua Xin and said: "The logistics of the army depends on Mr. Ziyu." The things that the emperor thinks and thinks are like the pen of God, and please bother with Mr. ”
Hua Xin said with a smile: "The emperor wishes Kong Ming to sweep Rome as soon as possible and make immortal contributions to the Han Dynasty." ”
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "How fortunate are we to accompany the emperor to create an indestructible foundation." If you go here, you will do your best to sweep the foreign land, so that the banner of our Han dynasty will fly over the land of Rome as soon as possible. ”
Hua Xin said: "Kong Ming just go with confidence, the baggage he needs will be delivered in a steady stream." ”
Zhuge Liang said goodbye to Hua Xin, led his personal guards, and embarked on a journey to Persia.
(The vehicle painted by Liu Ze is the famous partial van.) Infantry against cavalry, generally with pikemen in front and archers in the rear, formed a formation to resist the huge onslaught of cavalry, but the effect was unsatisfactory. The Romans used cavalry to conquer all directions, and the Mediterranean Sea was surrounded by Roman territory, which shows how far the cavalry was used, which can compete with the Mongol cavalry in later generations. After the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty, the five Hu chaos, the bald tree function of the Xianbei people in Liangzhou rebelled and captured Liangzhou, and the world was shocked. The bald tree function has been raising troops for nine years, crisscrossing Qin and Liang two states, killing and assassinating four people in a row, the Jin soldiers dare not fight, and Sima Yan, the emperor of Jin Wu, is very worried, thinking that no one can control it, and often sighs. The so-called times create heroes, and Ma Long, a native of Dongping Pinglu, was born out of thin air, asking Emperor Wu of Jin to send him troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, Ma Long's reputation was not obvious, and the courtiers were not, and Emperor Wu of Jin ruled against public opinion and insisted that Ma Long lead the troops. So Malone recruited 3,500 warriors, made a partial van, called a flat van at that time, sent troops to Liangzhou, won many battles, defeated Xianbei, and became a famous general in the world. Most of Liu Ze's paintings of partial vans are borrowed from the partial vans used by Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty, which are equivalent to tanks in the firearms era, and the vehicles are connected by hooks and locks, and can quickly be built into a solid wooden wall in the face of the charge of the enemy's cavalry. )
Cao Cao is seriously ill, of course he doesn't want to die of old age in a foreign land, the tree is thousands of feet high, the leaves fall back to the roots, and what he thinks about is his hometown of Qian County, although he can't speak, after Liu Qian and Liu Ye control the army, he compared to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang guessed several times, and said: "Father wants to go back to China?" At that time, Cao Cao bowed slightly, how could Cao Zhang go against Cao Cao's wishes at this time, and immediately made Liu Qian clear and escorted Cao Cao back to China.
Liu Qian sent 2,000 cavalry to escort him, and the military doctor, headed by Miao Huichun, also sent five people to accompany him in order to deal with emergencies on the road. Cao Cao returned to his heart like an arrow, and kept urging all the way, Cao Zhang was helpless, and personally drove the car to ensure that the car was not bumpy.
Zhuge Liang has not yet arrived in Shule, Cao Cao and his party have arrived in Chigu City, Hua Xin and Cao Cao are also old friends, hearing the news to greet, shh When Cao Cao saw Hua Xin, his mood was agitated, and the two of them held hands, one blindly gestured, the other guessed slowly, and they talked for a long time.
After resting in Chigu City for two days, Cao Cao urged him to set off, Cao Zhang had to say goodbye to Hua Xin and Yu Ban, and embarked on the long Huangsha Road. One day later, when he came to Yumen Pass, Cao Zhang only heard his father slap the car with his hand, and slowly stopped the vehicle at the moment to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao made a comparison, and when Cao Zhang communicated with his father for a long time, he guessed and asked, "Where did my father ask?" ”
Cao Cao nodded slightly, and Cao Zhang said: "Less than five miles ahead, it is Yumen Pass." ”
Cao Cao gestured for a while, his right arm was forced, and he wanted to sit up, Cao Zhang was shocked, and hurriedly supported Cao Cao, Miao Huichun and others also hurriedly walked over, Cao Cao pointed to the front with his right hand, and kept gesturing, Cao Zhangxin said that this is a good walk, out of the Yumen Guancheng, you can rest for a few days, take a breath and then go, where is this singing? Seeing that Cao Zhang was confused, Cao Cao raised his right hand violently and slapped Cao Zhang's face with a palm, which frightened Cao Zhang to kneel in a hurry.
Miao Huichun asked tentatively, "Cao Gong wants convenience?" ”
Cao Cao shook his head, and Miao Huichun continued to guess: "Not far ahead is Yumen Pass, Cao Gong wants to stay at Yumen Pass?" ”
Cao Cao nodded, Miao was overjoyed, and hurriedly informed Cao Zhang. Five miles away, in a blink of an eye, to Yumen Pass, the car stopped, Cao Zhang came to ask Cao Cao, Cao Cao hooked his hand, Cao Zhang hurriedly walked to Cao Cao's side, how did he think that Cao Cao's right arm suddenly hugged Cao Zhang's neck, Cao Zhang was startled, and hurriedly looked at Miao Huichun and others, Miao Huichun looked at Cao Cao's expression for a long time, and said to Cao Zhang: "Young General, Cao Gong wants to visit the wall." ”
Cao Zhang asked, "Mr. Miao is sure?" ”
Miao Huichun said: "Cao Gong has already nodded, and he can't make a mistake. ”
Cao Zhang said helplessly: "It's just my father's body." ”
Miao Huichun said with a smile: "With so many sons, why can't you satisfy Cao Gong's wishes." ”
Miao Huichun asked someone to take a stretcher, ready to let Cao Cao lie down, and then carry it to the city, Cao Cao stubbornly shook his head and refused to allow it, and pushed Cao Zhang with his right arm, Cao Zhang was helpless, so he had to carry Cao Cao out of the car and put it on his back, who knew that Cao Cao insisted on walking to the city, Cao Zhang had to hold Cao Cao left and right with a Cao Fu personal soldier, step by step, and slowly walked towards the city.
Coming to the city, the sun sets, the desert is red, the distant mountains are close to Guo, and the desolation is far away. Cao Cao supported the city with his sound right arm, looked around, and two lines of muddy tears quietly flowed down at some point. The hero is in the twilight, the ambition is not rewarded, but the day is not a holiday, although Cao Cao at this time is speechless, but he looks at the Quartet, and his arrogance is still revealed.
Seeing the red sun setting over the mountain, the evening breeze getting cooler, Cao Cao still didn't want to leave, Cao Zhang signaled Miao Huichun, Miao Huichun helplessly said forward: "Cao Gong, it's getting late, go down to the city and rest." ”
Cao Cao turned his head, leaned on the head of the city, pointed into the distance with his right finger tremblingly, and said vaguely: "I hate it." ”
Cao Cao returned to Guancheng, died of illness that night, Cao Zhang's crying was dark, so the whole army was vegetarian, put Cao Cao's body into the coffin, the coffin was carried onto the cart, Cao Zhang suppressed his grief, flew to the Quartet, informed his family, and reported to Liu Ze.
Liu Ze received the news of Cao Cao's death from Yumen, and cried for a while, remembering the past scenes with Cao Cao, as if in front of him, this peerless hero, due to his arrival, was reduced to his own salaryman, and he couldn't let the old Cao family have the share of the emperor. Cao Cao is open-minded, sincere, witty and wise, otherwise his command will not be able to gather so many outstanding talents in the world. Conquering Rome, with Cao Cao's qualifications and talents, he can be said to be the first choice, and now that he has died of illness, Liu Ze does not say that he is like a mourner, and it feels like a broken arm.
Cao Cao's status was transcendent, and he died of illness this time, shaking the government and the opposition. Cao Ang presided over the overall situation in Tianzhu, and he was bound to mourn when he heard the news; The Cao clan is very large, and the Xiahou clan is the same, and many officials and generals in important positions are members of the Cao clan, and Cao Cao will inevitably come when he dies. Liu Ze had to think about these things and arrange for people to take over.
According to Cao Cao's last wish, burying his bones in his hometown of Qian County, Liu Ze decided to rush to Luoyang and sacrifice Cao Cao on the road.
