Chapter 1300: Cao Cao's Calculations (I)
Wang Ping frowned, and hurriedly gave up.
"Your Majesty, wait! Nowadays, the west ** besieges Chengdu, and has the advantage of military weapons, but it may be difficult to hold on. If the city is broken, it will be too late for the West ** to enter Chengdu. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned cold, and he stared at Wang Ping coldly, and said coldly.
"The Great Wei and the Western Tang Dynasty were originally allies and had always been good friends, and in order to solve the danger of Shu Han, I had sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue. Now in the Central Plains, after the attack on the Western Tang Dynasty, the gold and silver, baggage, and troops spent are countless. And you waited for Shu Han to be my enemy many times in the past. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Xuande was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I was deeply favored by the Liu court, how could I come to the rescue!? If you wait to be so presumptuous again and again, I don't know what to do, so I will stop blaming me for being ruthless!! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, with a strong murderous aura, all the Wei generals in the tent had murderous faces, and looked at Wang Ping and Sun Qian coldly, as if as long as Cao Cao's order fell, they would rush up and chop the two into pulp. Feeling that the tent was suddenly filled with a strong murderous aura, Wang Pingqiang stabilized his mind, and wanted to persuade again. At this time, Sun Qian was afraid that Wang Ping would be young and vigorous, which would anger Cao Cao, but he made a mistake, stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Ping behind him, and then said with a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and we admire it to the extreme. But we are deeply favored by the Han family, the so-called food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king. Now that Shu is in danger, we are thousands of miles away, and we are really anxious. If you offend, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you. ”
Sun Qian seemed to be begging Cao Cao for mercy, but secretly he was reminding Cao Cao that he was deeply favored by the Han court in the past, and took advantage of the Han court, but in the end, he took advantage of the danger of others and robbed the Han family, which was to inspire Cao Cao's guilt. Sun Qian's words were there, Cao Cao couldn't hear Sun Gan's voice, the murderous aura on his face fell, and he sighed, with a little vicissitudes and a little emptiness, and said slowly.
"Sun Gongyou, you don't have to be sarcastic, in the past, if the Han court was not complemented by my efforts, the whole world would not know how many people would be called kings and how many people would be emperors. The first dynasty was defeated by the rebellion of eunuchs and the disaster of traitorous ministers. The so-called world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. After 400 years, the Han dynasty has run out. I ask myself to be benevolent and righteous, and I have a clear conscience. Now that the royal family of the Han family, only Liu Xuande is left, and if I do my best, I will help. However, don't forget, now that the Great Wei Dynasty has replaced the Han Dynasty, I control the Sheji Dynasty, and I should first focus on the world and the people. At present, Dongwu has been in my bag, and when Dongwu is pacified, Dawei has accounted for two-thirds of the world, and within a few years, the world can be unified. The people of China have been deeply affected by the war for decades, and they all hope that the troubled times will end as soon as possible and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era, which is my heavy responsibility.
Zhuge Kong is wise and peerless, Chengdu City is solid, the army and people in the city work together, although the west ** has the advantage of military weapons, but the number of troops is only tens of thousands, it is not difficult to hold on for a month. If it's hard to do, it's really heaven's desire to die!! ”
When Sun Gan heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he was speechless to refute for a while. Wang Ping, who was in Sun Qian, wanted to speak and stopped, but was secretly stopped by Sun Gan. Sun Qian sighed secretly, now that the situation is stronger than people, he had to bow his head, so he bowed his hand and bowed.
"Your Majesty has made up his mind, and I dare not offend. Now that Shu Han is in danger of exhaustion, I, as a Hanchen, should live and die with the country, so I retired first. ”
After Sun Qian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted.
"Slow!!"
Sun Qian frowned, turned around, and asked.
"I wonder what else Your Majesty has to say?"
"Now that the Xichuan realm has been mostly occupied by the Western Tang Dynasty, you will return rashly, if you are captured, you will really fail the hope of Zhuge Kongming. Why don't you stay under my command temporarily, and you can also help me conquer Eastern Wu as soon as possible and pull back the army to help. Second, it is the time for me to employ people, and I can also solve my urgent needs. ”
Cao Cao's eyes were shining, but most of his eyes were looking at Wang Ping behind Sun Qian. Sun Qian's heart was shocked, and he knew that Cao Cao had a love for Wang Ping. Sun Qian's mind was spinning, his eyes showed a little different color, and he quickly made up his mind and bowed his hand.
"Fortunately, His Majesty appreciated it so much, but his ability to endure shallowness was unbearable, and he was waiting for news from top to bottom in Chengdu. However, the princes are young, but they are both wise and brave, and they are highly valued by our lord and Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, so it is better to keep him here and do his best for His Majesty, so as to show my friendship with Shu Han. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately responded.
"That's good! I will give you a clipper boat and ten BMWs, I hope you can return it as soon as possible! ”
When Wang Ping heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was eager to open his mouth. Sun Qian secretly cast a look, and then thanked Cao Cao on his own initiative. When Wang Ping saw it, his face was full of bitterness. It's getting late, and it's inconvenient to start. Cao Cao left Sun Qian and Wang Ping to rest in the village for one night, and the two were ordered to retreat. Cao Cao was also tired, dismissed the generals, and went to rest.
That night, in Sun Gan's tent, Wang Ping looked angry and asked Sun Gan in a fierce voice.
"The fall of our country is imminent, and the urgency of employing people is a hundred times better than Cao Wei!! Why did Sun Gong keep me here to help the old thief!? ”
When Sun Qian heard this, his face froze, he sighed, and said slowly.
"Zijun is a little restless. Cao Lao Thief has always been treacherous and cunning, leaving you here, one is to monitor the old thief, if there is a delay, you can also urge in time. The two are instructed by the prime minister before he came, if the old thief wants to keep one person under his command, he will teach you to keep it. ”
"It was the Prime Minister who ordered it!?"
When Wang Ping heard this, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his face was incredulous. Sun Qian saw that Wang Ping didn't believe it, so he took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Ping. Wang Ping hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and saw that the letter in the bag was really Zhuge Liang's handwriting, and what the letter said made Wang Ping's face change drastically, and his body trembled violently. Sun Qian has always been old and spicy, and he seems to have roughly guessed what the letter said, and sighed lonely, and said with a deep sadness.
"The prime minister has always taken precautions. Now that the ancestor of my Shu Han dynasty has unfortunately passed away, the new lord has taken the throne at a young age, and the ministers are panicking, and the thieves of the Western Tang Dynasty are menacing, and there is such an artifact as a thunder cannon. If Cao Lao Thief is reluctant to send troops, although the prime minister has unpredictable wisdom, he is afraid that he will not have the power to return to heaven. The Great Wei country is prosperous, with your ability, sooner or later you can create a feat, and you will be reused by the old thief, and in the future, if I want to make a comeback, I need to rely on you a lot!! ”
After Sun Gan finished speaking, he remembered the hardships of the ancestor Liu Bei's entrepreneurship, and couldn't help but cry. When Wang Ping saw this, he was also full of tears and choked up. As Sun Qian expected, Cao Cao's promise that troops would be sent from the Central Plains in January was not true. Cao Cao was cunning and cunning, and naturally hoped that Shu Han and the Western Tang Dynasty would fight in Chengdu to defeat both sides, and then wait for him to conquer the Eastern Wu, only then did the two soldiers and horses advance together, and when the Western Tang Dynasty had not yet stabilized the situation in Xichuan, and the soldiers and horses were tired, he was caught off guard, and it was difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, and finally won the great cause of the world and unified the mountains and rivers!
Cao Cao is worthy of being a peerless hero, and this abacus can be described as actuarial to the extreme.
Early the next morning, Sun Qian took dozens of servants and retreated in a small boat. Wang Ping personally sent him off. Sun Qian, Wang Ping, an old man and a young man, each holding hands on the shore, their eyes were red, and they said goodbye to each other, as if after parting, they would be separated from each other from then on, and it would be difficult to see each other.
At the same time, in Cao Cao's tiger tent, a group of civil and military officers sat on the left and right seats. Cao Cao's eyes were shining, showing the majesty of the emperor all over his body, and he condensed his voice with all the civil and military forces.
According to the scout's report, Sun Zhongmou led a group of remnants of the defeated army to flee to Nanchang, Yuzhang, and transferred troops and horses from the three counties of Changsha, Linchuan, and Luling, with more than 30,000 troops, hoping to resist the offensive of our army in Nanchang. According to the public opinion, what should be done!? ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, all the generals spoke one after another, and they quarreled endlessly for a while. Only the open jaw was calm, and there was no argument with everyone. When Cao Cao saw it, he slapped the case suddenly, and everyone immediately closed their mouths. But seeing Cao Cao's face change, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Zhang Jaw and said with laughter.
"Yiyi, what do you think?"
Zhang Jaw heard Cao Cao's call, quickly got up, and bowed his hand.
"According to the opinion of the last general, our army is strong and strong, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not a problem to take Nanchang City. Sun Quan tried in vain to defend Nanchang, but he was just blocking the car with a mantis arm. However, if our army wants to conquer Eastern Wu as soon as possible, it will take time to gather troops to attack one county and one city. According to the opinion of the last general, His Majesty can quickly issue a military order, teach Jia Gong to gather Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and garrison troops in Hefei, but listen to the order, he sent troops from Lujiang, transferred to Danyang, and entered Wu County. However, our army first gathered troops to conquer Nanchang, and we must annihilate more Wu soldiers. Now there are not many soldiers and horses in Eastern Wu, and nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses were lost in the previous round, and now Sun Quan has gathered 30,000 troops in Nanchang. As long as Nanchang is broken, hundreds of thousands of my soldiers and horses will be killed. These 30,000 troops are difficult to preserve. In this way, according to my calculations, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers left in Eastern Wu, and even if they rush to recruit the brave soldiers of various counties, they will raise at most 70,000 or 80,000 people, but these brave men have not been trained, and they are all rabble, which is not enough to cause trouble. When His Majesty conquers Nanchang, he can divide his troops into two divisions, one of which will attack the southwestern counties of Changsha, Luling, Hengyang, and Guiyang in Eastern Wu. One looked northeast, Panyang, Shixin, Huiji and other counties, and finally with the Xuzhou soldiers and horses led by Jia Gong, they attacked together in Wu County, and when Wu County was broken, Eastern Wu would also lose the country. At that time, most of the soldiers and horses attacking the southwest had already been conquered, and even except for Jiaozhou, the rest of the counties of Eastern Wu had been summed up in the realm of Great Wei. And after His Majesty stabilized the situation, Su Ke taught the soldiers and horses in the southwest to go to Jiaozhou, and His Majesty led the remaining soldiers and horses out of Wu County and moved to Xichuan!! ”
Zhang Jaw spoke sharply and eloquently. The generals under the tent all listened to the change of face and secretly praised. After hearing this, Cao Cao covered his palms and laughed, laughed loudly, and applauded.
