Chapter 450: Cao Cao retreats
Meng De, take a look at this Liangzhou again? What is it like now? Ten rooms and nine emptiness, the people are not happy. Guanzhong is also desolate.
If the two armies continue to fight here, it will be ordinary people who will suffer. To be honest, I am not optimistic that Meng De can defeat us. It's better to go back to Hanzhong! The world will eventually be reunited. A certain person is a martial artist who doesn't understand the world's major affairs, but he has seen hundreds of thousands of corpses over the years. There are enough people who have died, and if it can be resolved peacefully, why not? That's all for it, please also be aware of it!
Cao Cao didn't expect that Zhang He could speak well, could this Zhang Shimin also teach these martial artists?
But when I think about it, Zhang Jie once said that it is often his enemies who really understand themselves. It seems that there is some truth to this.
Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly collected troops and camped outside the city.
In the tent, there are three Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xun You.
Cao Cao said: What should I do about this situation now? Is it a retreat or a siege?
Xun Youdao: Ma Teng was defeated too quickly, and as soon as we set off, Ma Teng was almost wiped out. And Ma Chao is more than brave, but not intellectual. He actually went out of the city to fight. Now he has lost his discernment and is in a dilemma between our army and the two sides.
attack, let's add Ma Chao, there are less than 50,000 people. But there are nearly 30,000 of them, how can this be attacked? What's more, the other party is all the generals who command the army, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Ju Yi, these three people are all generals under Zhang Jie who can take charge alone. In addition, he is also cunning and cunning. It's really hard to fight!
Guo Jiadao: Hey! We made a big mistake at the beginning, and these days, Jia regrets not being at the beginning every time he thinks about it! In the future, he will die without turning a blind eye.
Cao Cao said: What does Fengxiao mean? and don't blame you.
Guo Jiadao: After we took Hanzhong, we shouldn't have rested! Troops should be sent immediately to attack the Yin Ping Trail. Liu Bei was still in Jingzhou at that time. We've wasted months in vain. If the troops were sent immediately, Liu Zhang would have no defenders in Yinping Road at that time.
Ay! I didn't notice it for a while, and I lost this opportunity. I didn't expect Liu Zhang to lure the wolf into the room. Jia looks at himself and does not lose to anyone in his intelligence. In the end, it hurt the lord.
Cao Cao also regretted that he had not yet arrived in Yizhou when Liu Bei had not yet arrived, if he attacked Yinping Dao. Maybe the whole of Yizhou is his now. But it's useless to regret it! Who would have thought that there was such a person as Zhuge Liang?
Cao Cao said: It's not to blame Feng Xiao for this, it's careless. I felt that the brothers had followed a certain person all the way to Hanzhong, and they had been fortunate all the way, so they planned to rest for half a year. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei took advantage of the loophole. Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to say this. Let's think about what to do now!
Xun Youdao: Let's withdraw the troops! Zhang Jie sent Fu Zhu and others to guard the next guard, and we couldn't help him for a while. If you wait too long here. Zhang Jie will definitely send reinforcements. Listening to the report from the scout, Xu Huang had 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Chencang. From this point of view, Zhang Jie has been on guard against the lord for a long time. Now that Ma Teng is gone, the original plan to unite Ma Teng has failed. If we don't withdraw our troops, we can only consume grain and grass. There won't be much to gain.
It's not convenient for us to transport grain. What's even more worrying is that if we fight with Zhang Jie here, if we fight and the casualties are too large, Liu Bei will definitely send troops to Hanzhong. Now we are staying in Hanzhong, but there are only 20,000 recruits!
Cao Cao, Guo Jia also nodded.
Cao Cao said: Now that the fighter plane has been lost, there is no need to waste time here. Let's quit the army! Save your strength for the future. It's just Ma Chao what to do? He has thousands of men under his tent!
Guo Jiadao: Take it to Hanzhong, he is also desperate now. The lord took him in first, which is considered an extra strength, and Ma Chao Pang De is a fierce general, and he will need it in the future. But it is also necessary to prevent him from going south to join Liu Bei.
Cao Cao nodded and said: Yangping Pass is still guarded by Zixiao. Tsushima Chao, let's take our time.
The next day, Cao Cao withdrew his troops back to Hanzhong, Ma Chao was very unwilling, but Cao Cao was gone, what use could he have a few thousand people. Staying is only looking for death. can only return to Hanzhong with Cao Cao.
Seeing that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops and left. Dao: Cao Cao is really a hero. If you can afford to take it and put it down, if you lose the fighter, you will leave.
Ju Yidao: Why don't we send troops to chase it! Just let him run away like this? Isn't this horse killed in vain? What a pity!
Frustrated: Forget it, just run! We just need to achieve our goal. Now let's wait for the arrival of the lord with peace of mind! Today, Liangzhou and Guanzhong have been pacified. It is one step closer to the unification of the world. It should be gratifying!
Everyone felt justified.
Zhang Jie waited in Yunwu for more than ten days, but he didn't see the Qiang people come to surrender, and he thought, aren't these guys taking themselves seriously? Not planning to surrender anymore? It shouldn't be! Burning Dangqiang may be a little fatter, and it is possible that he is not afraid of himself. But who of those small tribes gave them such a bold amount?
Pang Tong was a little uneasy when he saw Zhang Jie. Dao: The lord is worried that those tribes will not send people to surrender?
Oh, yes! It's been ten days, someone should come and surrender, right? Let's take it first, and those small tribes have no reason not to surrender! Zhang Jie replied.
The lord rest assured, the Qiang people will definitely surrender, the lord's conditions did not disperse them, the lord let them accept sinicization. In fact, whether it is the Qiang people or the Xiongnu, they use Chinese characters and speak Chinese. In fact, they are learning from Han people everywhere. It's just that those who can learn from the Han are aristocrats.
Ordinary people can't afford to learn if they want to. Now that the lord has taken the initiative to let them accept sinicization, there won't be much resistance to them. Rest assured, my lord! These tribes are near and far, and they have to send someone to understand the situation first.
Maybe we have to discuss with each other, so that it will take more time, and some tribes should have a wait-and-see attitude, if everyone surrenders, he will surrender, and if everyone does not vote, he will not surrender. They say it takes time for horses to go to these places!
Zhang Jie said: Well, that's the reason, then let's continue to wait! Damn, I don't know what's going on over there. I hope you don't let me down.
A few days later, three Qiang tribe envoys finally came at a time. And brought a lot, cattle, sheep and horses.
Three envoys entered the worship path: Bei Nan, Bei He, and Shen Wolf, and the envoys visited Wei Hou.
What Zhang Jie didn't expect was that these guys were all dressed as Han people, wearing Hanfu and tying their hair.
Zhang Jie said: Ladies and gentlemen, please be exempt.
I am very glad that you can come, do you have anything to say to Ben Hou?
Wei Hou, we hope that Wei Hou will make all the tribes not fall into annexation. Because it is a burning Qiang, it has annexed several tribes in recent years.
Zhang Jie understands that these small tribes are afraid of being swallowed up, so he hopes that Zhang Jie can make decisions for them. But this is exactly what Zhang Jie wants, first control the small ones, then the big ones, take your time, sooner or later they will all be sinicized.
