Chapter 70: Sima Yi's Hole Cards

The speed of the flying pigeon was very fast, Cao Zhang received the news of Luoyang before entering Jizhou, so the army was stationed three hundred miles south of Yecheng, and according to Cao Ang's order, he began to eliminate the scouts to see if he could run into Sima Yi, who was fleeing north.

Yuan Yun didn't have any expectations at all about whether Cao Zhang would be able to capture Sima Yi, Sima Yi has always been a very cautious person, and if he takes a step, he will inevitably prepare two ways to retreat, and if he can't guess his escape route, he will definitely not be able to track it.

Compared with Sima Yi's escape, Yuan Yun was on some clues found in Sima Yi's mansion, probably guessed that the other party seemed to have cultivated a good team over the years, judging from the money it invested, although the strength of this team was worse than Deng Ai's special forces, but it was definitely not too inferior, what Yuan Yun cared about the most was that Sima Yi's team was equipped with a large number of gunpowder shells.

After the unification of the world, Yuan Yun suggested that Cao Ang strictly control the guns, and take back all the guns that were released before, and set the rule that no one should be delegated until wartime, and the weekday training is also carried out in batches, and the number of guns used each time will definitely not exceed five hundred, this suggestion seems to be very effective, otherwise when I think of Sima Yi having a team with rifles in his hand, then no one will want to sleep well.

As soon as half a month passed, the news finally came back from the north, Sima Yi arrived in Jizhou safe and sound, and he pulled up a rebellious team non-stop, the banner turned out to be the side of the Qing monarch, and the so-called traitorous minister who wanted to be eliminated was naturally him Yuan Yun.

Although Yuan Yun guessed some, but when the matter was put in front of him, he still felt a little ridiculous, and his image was said by Sima Yi to be a traitorous villain who coveted personal gain and harmed loyal ministers and good generals, and especially emphasized that he Yuan Yun used evil magic to bewitch the Son of Heaven Cao Ang, and became a tyrant who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

And in this half a month, Cao Ang was not idle, there were no less than hundreds of officials who were raided and exterminated, and the children of the Sima clan who did not have time to escape in Luoyang were the most unlucky, and the head of Xishi was cut off for three days, and only half of them were barely killed, and Sima Yi's two brothers were directly killed by the car, and their heads were also sent to Jizhou.

At this time, the combat mobilization of the DPRK and China was also going on at the same time, and the generals headed by Xu Chu were all very excited, but many of the Wenchen were very negative, and many of them even played, hoping to negotiate peace with Sima Yi, although it was not explicitly said that Yuan Yun would be handed over, but since it was a peace talk, it was equivalent to exchanging Yuan Yun's life for peace.

Regarding Wenchen's passivity, Cao Ang demoted several officials in a row before he could control the situation, but because of this, many pre-war preparations were stranded.

In addition, Cao Ang also mobilized a group of troops from Chang'an to Luoyang, and after the gunpowder army of the two cities was assembled, they began to practice every day, and the sealed arsenal was gradually opened, and the workshop once again entered a wartime state, and everything was given priority to military products.

Half a month later, something unexpected happened, a major accident occurred in the gunpowder workshop in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, and the aftermath of the explosion even razed some buildings in Luoyang City to the ground.

After the gunpowder workshop was destroyed, it immediately led to a serious shortage of logistics support for a large number of gunpowder troops, and the headache was not only that, the Lu family in Yangzhou also followed Sima Yi to raise the banner of rebellion, and the leader was Lu Xun.

After the Sun family withdrew from Yangzhou, the local clan gradually regained power, and lost respect for the Sun family, and the Lu family was at odds with the Sun family at the beginning, so they have been making various preparations in secret all these years, and this time with the east wind of Sima Yi, everyone was caught off guard.

Soon after Lu Xun set off a rebellion in Yangzhou, Zhang Liao also sent a messenger over, saying that Meng Shu in the southern and central regions had suddenly attacked, and united many tribes to start an invasion of Shu.

Seeing these bad news coming one by one, Yuan Yun could only smile bitterly, he thought that Sima Yi was just making small moves in Liaodong, and all the preparations seemed very hasty, and he didn't want him to arrange such a big show.

Now that the world is almost in a scuffle again, the peaceful situation that was laid down before is falling apart, Cao Ang is naturally very anxious, everyone is constantly working hard, the results are gradually emerging, and the people's lives are gradually returning to normal, everything will soon be on the right track, but I don't want such a shocking change to happen at this time.

"Things can't be done in one day, Your Majesty has not been able to close your eyes for four days and four nights, and now it is more than half, it is better to rest early, and only after you have enough spirit can you make various responses tomorrow." Looking at Cao Ang, whose eyes were full of bloodshots, Yuan Yun made a reluctant suggestion, in fact, he knew very well that even if he said it, Cao Ang couldn't sleep at all.

Sure enough, I saw Cao Ang wave his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm in the prime of life, and I have enough energy to deal with it, so Yuan Hou doesn't have to worry too much." ”

After saying this, Cao Ang has walked to the middle of the main hall, where a very huge sandbox has been placed, almost a miniature version of the entire Central Plains, and the sandbox is surrounded by many people, including generals such as Xu Chu, as well as strategists left by Cao Cao such as Guo Jia, and even Cheng Yu, who has not appeared for a long time, was pushed over by his family in a wheelchair.

Cao Ang can only rely on these Cao Cao's old team now, which also makes him somewhat embarrassed, over the years, although he is vigorously cultivating his own manpower, but when a major event happens, the real use of his subordinates is Miao Miaoji, and the only reliable ones have been sent to various frontiers, such as Zhang Liao in Yizhou, Zhang Jaw in Xiliang, etc.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xun of Yangzhou can be handed over to Weichen to deal with, and only 20,000 soldiers need to be given to Weichen." Guo Jia saw that Cao Ang had walked to the Yangzhou position on the sandbox, so he immediately recommended himself.

Cao Ang nodded when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Guo Qing went to Yangzhou to deal with Lu Xun'er, and the widow should have no worries." ”

As soon as Cao Ang's voice fell, Cheng Yu, who was in a wheelchair, suddenly coughed violently a few times, suppressed it for a long time, and immediately gave his hand and said: "Meng Hou Those savages should be handed over to General Zhang Liao, and the Xiliang territory is guarded by General Zhang Jaw, which can also ensure stability, we should still think more about the north."

Now that Sima Yi's troops are out of Qingzhou, they have all their backs on their hands, and then he will begin to consider launching an attack on Xuzhou, but now he is not ready, so he will not move for the time being, but this will still happen sooner or later, so the old minister came to ask for his life, and was willing to personally guard the boundary of Xuzhou for His Majesty. ”

Looking at Cheng Yu's aging appearance, Cao Ang frowned slightly, no matter how you look at this old man now, he has reached the age of running out of oil and running out of lamps, no matter how hard he works, I'm afraid he will definitely not live long.

"Mr. Zhongde is now in charge of Luoyang Academy, and you can't do without you for a day, so when it comes to defending Xuzhou, it's better to arrange for others to do it." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he sighed deeply, this is also a helpless choice.

Cheng Yu snorted heavily when he heard this, and then patted his chest and said: "Although the old man is older, he is not going to die on the road, the defense of Xuzhou is the top priority, and the old man who is handed over to others is really not at ease." ”

"How about handing it over to Yuan Hou?" Guo Jia said suddenly.

When Cheng Yu heard the word Yuan Hou, he immediately looked away, and saw that Yuan Yun was uncomfortable, and he had already sworn to himself and his family before that he would never fight again in this life, but now if he really let Cheng Yu replace him, this old gentleman may really die on the road.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun took a step forward very helplessly, and then arched his hand: "The direction of Xuzhou is handed over to Benhou, Mr. Zhongde should rest assured." ”

"Reassured? Don't worry! Your two leaders are not enough for Sima Yi to see, why can you hold Xuzhou? "Cheng Yu is now nearly 100 years old, so it seems very reasonable to call a prince above the court, even Cao Ang has to call him Mr., so Yuan Yun can only consider himself unlucky.

Guo Jia smiled at this time and said: "Old man Zhongde, don't forget that Chang'an still has Yuan Hou's think tank, Zhuge Kongming is not an ordinary goods, Yuan Hou is the boss, Zhuge Kongming assists left and right, you can worry about it, right?" ”

After Cheng Yu heard Zhuge Liang's name, he gasped for breath a little, and then nodded: "That's pretty much the same, and it's best to let the old man named Huang Zhong go with him, although he can't play chess with the old man, but he is really good at leading troops to fight." ”

Yuan Yun waited for Cheng Yu to finish speaking, he could only nod his head and agree, Cao Ang also approved such an arrangement at this time, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong, Xuzhou's defense can be reassured.

Yuan Yun's butt hurts all over his body at the moment, going to the battlefield again is definitely the most unlucky errand, if possible, he is more willing to wave the flag and shout in the rear, send others to death, and the logistics burden is his guarantee, this is the most perfect.

Just when Yuan Yunyu was secretly sad in his heart, he suddenly found that Guo Jia and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and the two even smiled very proudly, and at this time, Cheng Yu stopped coughing, and his breathing was not panting, and he was almost able to stand up from the wheelchair.

Lao Tzu is trapped, unlucky!

After complaining, Yuan Yun still accepted Cao Ang's edict, and soon led 20,000 soldiers to Xuzhou, and then joined Chen Deng's defenders.

Then Cao Ang announced a decision that surprised everyone, after the defense of Xuzhou was determined, he planned to drive the expedition in person, and lead Xu Chu, Wei Yan, and Le Jin generals to Guandu again.

Although the forces of the north and south are not like Cao Cao's deal with Yuan Shao back then, they still have a feeling of going back in time in Guandu, and many old courtiers even show a trace of sadness, naturally remembering the old lord Cao Cao.

When fighting against Yuan Shao, everyone looked so majestic under the leadership of Cao Cao, but now it has been replaced by Cao Ang, everyone has some expectations, and there is a trace of worry, after all, the concept that one generation is not as good as the next generation is the strongest in the concept of the elderly.
