Chapter 430: The Return of the Hero (Second Update)
Two days later, Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei's two brothers were sent to Nanzheng, the cause of death is unknown, suddenly set off a huge wave, the original crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, murder and rebellion against the general's remarks, no one has paid attention to it, because people are dead, but many people in Hanzhong showed a trace of sadness, although Zhang Lu is not a hero, but he advocates Taoism, treat the people with benevolence, Hanzhong under his command, has been living a peaceful, peaceful life, this is why, Zhang Lu's words, can let the people of Hanzhong collectively flee to the mountains, Guan Yu was cleared of the wall.
In addition to the common people, the soldiers and generals in Hanzhong were also sad, and even clashed with the Shu army again and again.
After Fa Zheng understood the situation, he immediately suggested that Wu Yi bury Zhang Lu, and even worship in person to win the hearts of the people in Hanzhong.
Wu Yi naturally had no opinion on this point, he not only agreed, but even increased the scale, and suddenly a grand funeral began in Nanzheng, and many soldiers and people went to pay respects.
Wu Yi, who was injured, cried loudly on Zhang Lu's mourning hall, saying that although Zhang Lu harmed him, he didn't mean to hurt Zhang Lu at all, and the violent cry, as if he had killed his father, surprised everyone present.
However, this cry also made the Hanzhong soldiers and the people complain a lot less, and the conflict gradually subsided.
When the funeral was over, Liu Zhang's order also came over, officially canonizing Wu Yi as the Taishou of Hanzhong, but at the same time, he also ordered Deng Xian and Leng Bao to lead the army to return to Shu immediately, leaving only Wu Yi's own 30,000 troops as a guard, it is obvious that there are already people in Shu who are guarding against Wu Yi.
Of course, Wu Yi was angry about such a thing, and Wu Ban was ready to directly and openly rebel, but under Fa Zheng's urgent persuasion, Wu Yi sighed, and in the end, not only did he not say anything, but he was reluctant to personally bid farewell to the army.
Nanzheng, among the tall and magnificent Taishou Mansion, under the gaze of all the civil and military officers headed by Wen Yifa Zheng and respected by Wu Ban, Wu Yi sat on the throne of Zhang Lu step by step.
"Meet Taishou," Wenwu immediately shouted respectfully.
"Hahaha." Seeing this scene, Wu Yi immediately laughed out loud, and a boundless pride suddenly appeared in his heart.
At this point, with the death of Zhang Lu and the coming to power of Wu Yi, the situation in Hanzhong has come to an end temporarily.
On the other hand, Guan Yu also commanded an army of 50,000 to cross Xiliang and enter the land of Yanzhou, all the way quickly, and finally arrived outside the gate of Changyi City within three days
I saw that here, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xu Chu, Yu Ban and others were waiting here.
"Yun Chang" looked at Guan Yu who came back, and Cao Cao shouted excitedly.
After Guan Yu saw it, he immediately threw the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to the soldiers on the side, and after dismounting and walking a few steps, he immediately bowed on one knee with shame on his face and said: "Guan, I have a negative responsibility, please punish Sikong"
"Yun Chang, hurry up" Cao Cao hurriedly helped Guan Yu up, and said softly: "Yun Chang is not guilty, the guilty Cao Er, it was Cao Xiao who looked down on Liu Zhang, but I didn't expect him to dare to send troops and almost plunged Yun Chang into a Jedi."
"Sikong" Guan Yu's eyes showed emotion, to talk about it, Cao Cao's love for him is not inferior to his eldest brother Liu Bei, not to mention the red rabbit horse, just say that this time in the battle of Hanzhong, how many generals rushed to ask for it, but in the end Cao Cao did give him who had just surrendered.
"General Guan, come all the way, Xiliang didn't embarrass you," Cheng Yu asked with concern.
"No, but I didn't pay much attention to it," Guan Yu said seriously.
Hearing this, Cao Cao sneered: "These two smart people are in a hurry to shoot Yuan Xi's horses, so naturally they won't care about Cao's horses."
"General Guan, you go back to the house first to have a good rest, and then talk to Sikong about the specific situation in Hanzhong" Xun Yu said solemnly.
"No!"
After evening, in Sikong Mansion, Guan Yu told the situation of the battle of Hanzhong in detail one by one.
After Cao Cao listened, he frowned and said: "I didn't expect that there would be a general like Wu Yi in Shu, Cao really underestimated it before."
Xun You's face froze, and said: "Sikong, this Wu Yi, you have heard of it, although he is talented, he should not have such ability, if this is really the case, the previous few civil wars in Yizhou will not let Zhang Lu gain the upper hand."
"Even if Gongda said that there is indeed a problem here, although some people will change dramatically once they become independent, there are very few such people," Cheng Yu agreed.
Cao Cao stroked the thick beard on his chin slightly, turned his head to look at Xun Yu who was deep in thought, and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?" ”
"Chen thinks about it again, how did Zhang Song die," Xun Yu said solemnly.
Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and he nodded slightly: "Wen Ruo and a certain thought went together, the reason why a certain person is so confident in the battle of Hanzhong is because of Zhang Song, he is the other driver of Yizhou, Liu Zhang's henchman, with his contribution, the situation in Shu will be controllable, but his sudden death really made Liu Zhang make up his mind to send troops to Hanzhong, there must be someone in this who has done it."
"Father, if this is really the case, then there are only a handful of people who can do this," Cao Pi said.
"Yes, it must be Yuan Xi, I really didn't expect his power to be so big, even Shu was placed people, it seems that Jingzhou's failure is also because of this!" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.
"Sikong Yingming, in addition, there is no other explanation, originally Liu Biao's tour of Lumen Mountain was an excellent time for assassination, and the killers were ready, but at this time, the parade was suddenly canceled, and at the same time, the army was secretly ordered to strictly inspect pedestrians, which is obviously someone who reported the news, which shows that Yuan Xi not only has a wide range of influence, but also understands our plan" Xun Yu said with a stern face.
"Dayan's forces are now trapped in the grassland, and he can't go to war directly, so he can only hold us back," Cao Pi said angrily.
"He can delay, we can't delay, if this continues, the gap between the two parties will get bigger and bigger," Cheng Yu said in a heavy tone.
"Hey, now that our army has no place to move," Cao Cao sighed.
Seeing this scene, Xun You's eyes froze, and he said loudly: "Lord, there are too many wise and resourceful people under Yuan Xi, relying entirely on conspiracy and trickery, it will not work, and those who can become hegemons must take the royal road, doesn't Yuan Xi just think that my Cao Jun will not dare to fight Jingzhou head-on?" Then do it to him, let him understand, before he was born, my army has been rampant in the world, since the north is difficult to take, the lord will take the Central Plains as the basis, after seizing Jingzhou, from Jingzhou to Bashu, and then with the help of the reputation of the Son of Heaven, he will be able to go north to Dayan and complete the unification of the world."
"The world is unified" Cao Cao muttered unexpectedly, looked at Xun Yu with a firm expression, and said with a wry smile: "Gongda, no one has said such things to Cao for a long time."
"My lord, our army was defeated by Guandu, Hanzhong by two, Jingzhou by three, and defeated again and again, at this time there is no other way except to give it a go."
"Lord, what you lack now is not the opportunity, it is the sharpness, it is the invincible sharpness of the year, the wind and clouds are changing, the world is impermanent, if Fengxiao is still there, he will inevitably persuade the lord like this" Xun You knelt down directly on one knee and bowed.
"Gongda said well, he Yuan Xibo has a big Yan, why can't the lord, he really sees the lord's hesitation and hesitation now, now the lord has no other way to go, since this is the case, then break the kettle and turn him upside down, if he has the ability, he will go south" Cheng Yu hugged his fists excitedly.
"We will swear allegiance to the lord to the death" Hearing this, the generals shouted excitedly.
"Father" Cao Pi stood up, and said with tears in his eyes: "The reason why my father is like this is because we fools want to leave us a way back, but if your father is gone, where is there still the great cause of the Cao family, please give it a go."
"You" Cao Cao's face immediately showed emotion.
"Lord, Yu swears to follow," Xun Yu said very seriously.
"Wenruo" After Cao Cao muttered, he clenched his fists, stood up violently, pulled out the sword from the side, and after shouting, he cut the table in front of him in half with a knife, and said with a ruthless face: "Thank you all the dukes, Cao swore today, and never thought about him again, in this life, he vowed to go north to Dayan and revitalize the Han family."
"The Lord's Wisdom"
"Father's Wisdom"
Cao Cao pointed at his long sword, and said sharply: "Wen Ruo, immediately arrange for someone to go to Jiangdong, meet Sun Quan, and tell him that he is willing to form the strongest alliance with him."
"No!" Xun Yu replied loudly, his eyes revealing relief that Cao Cao, who was once fearless and scrappy, was back again.
