Chapter 1087: Cao Cao moves the capital
The capital of Wei, Chenliu County. ()
In the palace, Cao Cao sat on the throne with a gloomy face.
Cao Cao's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said: "Princes, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun are stationed in the Tiger Pass, and they are eyeing Yanzhou, and they may send troops to attack Chen Liu at any time, what are your plans to break the enemy?" ”
"Plop!!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jaw knelt on the ground with his fists clenched, and said loudly: "Lord, the last general is incompetent, causing Huang Zhong and Gao Shun to capture Luoyang, take the Tiger Prison Pass, and go straight to Chen Liu, please surrender to the lord." ”
Ma Chao knelt down with his jaw open, his brows furrowed slightly.
It was not their fault that the army was defeated, but that Huang Zhong and Gao Shun's forces were too strong.
3,000 light cavalry, 3,000 heavy cavalry, and 800 trapped camps, these are all extremely well-equipped elite soldiers, plus Huang Zhong and Gao Shun also led more than 20,000 ordinary soldiers, which is enough to crush their army. Ma Chao's mood has the idea that it is not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy is powerful.
Cao Cao glanced at his jaw, and his gaze lingered on Ma Chao for a moment.
It's a pity that Ma Chao still didn't move.
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Jaw who was kneeling on the ground, and said with relief: "Luoyang is already in the hands of Shu State, and it will be useless to hold you accountable." However, Lone still punished you for three months. Okay, get up, now discuss how to deal with Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, and tell me what you think. ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
He thanked Dade for his bow before getting up and returning to the queue.
Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao did not punish Zhang Jaw, hugged his fists and said: "The lord is wise!" His voice was quite abrupt, and the surrounding civil and military generals all looked at Ma Chao, but Ma Chao was calm, because he felt that Cao Cao was doing this the most correct way.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao didn't smile.
He listened to Ma Chao's words, and seemed to feel that Ma Chao said that if he didn't do this, he would not be wise.
In fact, this is also the consequence of Ma Chao's failure to plead guilty with Zhang Jaw. Both of them are generals who lead the army, but the blame is taken by the one who opens his jaw, Cao Cao feels that Ma Chao is arrogant and arrogant, and he does not unite his comrades.
At present, Cao Cao needs talents, so he did not pursue it.
Xun Yu saw that the atmosphere in the hall was a little delicate, and he arched his hand and said, "My lord, I think that the capital should be moved." ”
"Move the capital?"
Cao Cao said in astonishment, with a look of disbelief on his face. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Gongda, although Huang Zhong and Gao Shun have taken Chang'an and are eyeing Chen Liuhu, they don't need to be so afraid. Could it be that my Yanzhou sons are blind and watching them invade Chenliu? ”
"My lord, I agree with Lord Xun's opinion."
At this time, a young man in his early twenties stood up and said unhurriedly.
Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, who is this person?" ”
Xun Yu replied: "Lord Qiqi, this person is Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda, who have just been recruited. Zhong Da is the second son of Master Sima and the second brother of Sima Lang. This person is outstanding in learning and has great talent. ”
Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's evaluation and immediately became interested.
Xun Yu is fair and will never lie, so Cao Cao preconceived that Sima Yi was talented.
Cao Cao and Sima Yi in history have nothing to do with the current situation.
At this time, the situation in the world has only Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian left, the situation is clear, and the situation of the three heroes competing for hegemony has been set. After Xun Yu's conscription order was issued, Sima Yi put away his salute and rushed to Yanzhou to become an official.
As for Cao Cao, in history, Cao Cao had Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xun Yu and other advisers, and Sima Yi was insignificant.
Today, Cao Cao has civil servants under his command, but he also lacks strategists. So when Cao Cao saw Sima Yi, he was very happy in his heart, and asked: "Zhongda, your brother is an official under the lonely command, and you and your brother are officials together, which can be regarded as a good story." Since you agree with Wen Ruo's opinion, then you can tell me why you have to move the capital. ”
Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "If there is anything wrong with the humble position, please forgive King Wei." ”
Cao Cao smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Sima Yi said unhurriedly: "The reason for moving the capital, the first is still to avoid the sharp edge of Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, so as not to threaten the hinterland and contain the army. ”
Cao Cao nodded, he was also a proficient military person, so he naturally understood the truth.
Sima Yi said: "The second reason is Yuan Shao in the north. Although the Yuan clan was defeated, Yuan Shao was still alive, dead but not stiff, and the king of Wei moved his capital to Yecheng, Jizhou, so he could concentrate his forces on attacking Yuan Shao. Yecheng is an important place in Jizhou, with grain and grass, elite soldiers, and in the hinterland, it can tightly press Yuan Shao, which is to intensify the attack on Yuan Shao. ”
"In today's world, a three-legged situation has been formed, the king of Wei is one, the king of Shu is the second, the king of Wu is the third, and as for Yuan Shao, who is still alive, he is already in the palm of the king of Wei, so there is no need to worry."
"Yuan Shao is easy to beat, but he can't ignore it."
"Yuan Shao has always been a confidant of the King of Wei, if the King of Wei can't take Yuan Shao before the King of Shu destroys the King of Wu, it will be impossible to fight the King of Shu with all his might. When the time comes, it will definitely be King Wei who will suffer. ”
Sima Yi talked eloquently, and it was expected that Sun Jian would be defeated.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Zhongda, Sun Jian is working hard, can't he stop Wang Can?" ”
Sima Yi replied: "King Wei, when Ganning's naval army emerges, you can conclude that King Wu will be defeated. If the king of Shu did not have a naval army, it would definitely be difficult to cross the river to fight, because the naval army was Sun Jian's greatest weapon. Now that the Wu navy is inferior to Gan Ning's navy, and the Wu soldiers are not as good as the Shu soldiers, they will definitely be defeated. As for the time of defeat, it is still difficult to determine, it depends on how long Sun Jian can hold on. ”
After Cao Cao heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Zhongda said it well and reasonably. In order to avoid being pinned down by Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, our army temporarily moved the capital to Yecheng and attacked Yuan Shao with all its might. I have always said that I want to destroy the Yuan clan and pacify the north, but I have not yet started, and now I am concentrating my forces to try to destroy the Yuan clan within the next year and pacify the troubles. ”
After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "Zhongda, you follow me as a military advisor, what do you think?" ”
Sima Yi was overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you King Wei!" ”
Although Sima Yi, a military advisor, has no real power, he is only equivalent to Cao Cao's staff officer, but he is a person close to Cao Cao, which indicates that Sima Yi has become the core of Cao Cao.
Although it is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the closer the person is to the king, the greater the power.
……
On the river, warships moved quickly.
These warships were all large warships of Jiangdong, carrying Jiangdong's soldiers back to Kure. In the big boat, Sun Jian was lying on the bed, a little sluggish, and Huang Gai and Zu Mao were sitting beside him.
Huang Gai said: "Lord, the major affairs of the Wu Kingdom depend on the lord, take care of your body!" ”
Zu Mao nodded, agreeing with Huang Gai's words.
Sun Jian sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
Several days have passed, Sun Jian is still the same, and the whole person is full of energy, and he seems to be weak. While the three of them were talking, Sun Ce hurriedly ran in, looking a little impatient. Sun Ce hugged his fists and said: "Father, there is a Ganning army on the river!" ”
"Whew!!"
Sun Jian perked up, lifted the quilt on his body, and stood up suddenly. He was like a wounded tiger, Hu Wei was still there, and shouted: "Bo Fu, Gan Ning is really here?" ”
Sun Ce nodded and said, "That's true!" ”
Sun Jian said: "In this case, we will kill Gan Ning, avenge the dead righteous father and Demou, and let Wang Can taste the taste of love being killed." ”
He was ambitious, picked up his sword, put on his armor, and prepared to fight.
