Chapter 898: Yuan Shu
"But it's all for the sake of one day standing on the top of your two brothers, and even making my Cao family the number one family in the world after the royal family 'Yuan Family'! And now, your Yuan clan will be destroyed, after I get Huainan, try to ask the whole world, except for my Cao clan, who dares to respect it!? ”
Cao Cao even had some rebellious words, and the moment the last word 'respect' fell suddenly, another flash of lightning slammed down, and it went towards Cao Cao's position. The generals were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, but they didn't know whether Cao Cao was hiding or not, and at this time, another lightning bolt struck out from the ground, and the thunder that slashed towards Cao Cao exploded in the oblique thorn.
That magical and strange scene shocked everyone in the Cao Jun present. Even Yuan Shu and his deployment were all trembling when they saw it.
At this moment, Cao Cao is like a king who is destined to return, he cannot be disobeyed, and he will die if he resists!
Yuan Shu's face twitched a few times, as if he couldn't bear the facts in front of him, and suddenly saw him shouting, and he slapped his horse and got up.
"Cao Ah hid that I killed you~~!!" The crazy Yuan Shu was still unwilling to give up and made a last stand.
And Cao Cao's eyes when he looked at him were like seeing a clown jumping off the beam, grinning at himself and sticking out his fangs.
So, Cao Cao waved his sword lightly, and the generals immediately reacted one after another, pulling their bows and shooting. In an instant, even arrows flew out, Yuan Shu roared, drew his sword and hit sharply, and the dead soldiers behind him also rushed to kill, each rushing forward.
I saw waves of arrows shot out one after another, and the dead soldiers under Yuan Shu's command were hit by arrows one after another, and saw Yuan Shu hit several arrows in a row, but he was still fierce, galloping towards Cao Cao to kill.
Seeing that it was only a few zhang away, Yuan Shu's reluctance to forgive, as well as his contemptuous eyes from beginning to end, finally angered Cao Cao.
"Damn Yuan Highway!! If you beg me for mercy and can save your life, why do you have to go against me~~!! ”
Cao Cao was furious and roared. Xu Chu comprehended, reacted the fastest, and immediately took out a 'featherless arrow' from the cloth bag on his waist and threw it out.
"Wow~~!"
Between the lightning and flint, I saw that the 'feather arrow' thrown by Xu Chu slammed into Yuan Shu's chest, and the force was so great that it even hit Yuan Shu's entire body backwards. At this moment, the Peerless BMW rushed out, so fast that it was like a flying rainbow. saw Cao Cao's face full of ferocity, raised the sword of Yitian, and slashed at Yuan Shu's neck.
At that moment, Cao Cao, who had hidden his hatred for Yuan's bullying for many years, broke out in an instant!!
Wow~! With an incomparably crisp sound, the heavens and the earth fell silent, and everyone watched Cao Cao swing his sword and cut off Yuan Shu's neck, and with the splash of blood, Yuan Shu's head rose to the sky.
And with the sudden fall of Yuan Shu's head with a 'bang', Xu Chu, who was the first to react, raised his knife and shouted: "The army listens to the order, and the Huainan anti-thief Yuan Highway has been killed by the lord himself~~!! ”
Xu Chu cheered together, and in an instant, all the Cao troops raised their arms and shouted, shouting long live. And most of the Huainan army had an instant mental breakdown, fleeing, surrendering, only a small number of people desperately fought to avenge Yuan Shu, but they were quickly annihilated by Xiahoudun.
The heavy rain gradually stopped, Cao Cao lowered his head slightly, looked at the head on the ground, the pair of eyes that were wide and full of endless resentment, and were stunned for a while. At this moment, an excited soldier was shouting at him.
=========================================
"Lord!!
The past flew around, Cao Cao suddenly came back to his senses, and as soon as he raised his head, he found that he was in the lobby of his mansion, and all the civil and military forces under his command were looking at him at this time.
"Oh? Cao Moucai was a little distracted, what are you talking about? As soon as Cao Cao sank, everyone was amazed when they heard it, since Cao Cao broke through Shouchun, he would lose his mind from time to time like now. Jia Xu and Xun Yu at the head looked at each other secretly. At this time, Xun Yu, who was quite handsome in a white brocade robe, smiled at Cao Cao, and then told Cao Cao about the discussion of the right talents.
Cao Cao listened, but sighed: "Thinking about how powerful the 'Yuan Clan' was back then, the combined power of Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway is half of the world. But now it has come to naught, as the so-called entrepreneurship is difficult, and it is even more difficult to keep a business! Maybe one day, my Cao clan will be like this Yuan clan, subverted by the hands of Haoqiang! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Xiahoudun immediately stared at him and shouted: "The lord has a strategy of passing through the heavens and the earth, who dares to compete in the world!? If the lord thinks that there is a threat, but with an order, the last general will take his head for the lord!! ”
Xiahoudun's fighting spirit was high, like a fire covering his body, and the generals were full of morale because of the attack on Huainan, and they all responded to peace. At this time, Xun Yu frowned, and shouted solemnly: "Don't!! The Battle of Huainan had just ended, and although our army had won, there were many casualties. In addition, in order to support the war in Huainan, the imperial court lost a lot of money, grain and grass, and even affected people's livelihood. You and other warriors only know how to attack the city and plunder the land, but if they don't like it, they shout and kill, just to be happy, but they don't know that this requires a lot of money and food support!! ”
But I heard Xun Yu suddenly scold, on weekdays, he has a very high reputation under the Cao family, and Cao Cao is very fond of him. When Xiahoudun heard this, although he didn't like it in his heart, it was not easy to argue with him.
"Alright. Yuan makes you loyal and commendable, but I also know it, but at the moment, as the military advisor said, the treasury is empty of money and food, and it is not good to start a war again. Wouldn't it be better for you to take a break and practice your deployment, but when the need arises, you should serve your country? Cao Cao smiled slightly, but he appeased Xiahou. Although Xiahou has a strong temperament, he is not ignorant, and he understands the truth in Xun Yu's mouth, but he doesn't like his unstoppable appearance like an 'iron rooster'.
"The last general commands!" Xiahoudun received the order this time, and when he sat down, he didn't forget to glare at Xun Yu viciously. However, Xun Yu didn't fight with him, he had already withdrawn his gaze, grabbed the beautiful hair under his chin, and looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Humph!" Xiahoudun couldn't help but be secretly angry and snorted coldly. At this time, Cao Ren, who was sitting at the head of the military generals in front of him, suddenly said in a deep voice: "The war cannot be levied for the time being, but the Ma family is powerful, and Ma Teng is actually repairing the palace in Chang'an, if the court ignores it, I am afraid that it will lose its majesty, I don't know what the lord has in mind?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed, and then looked at the strategist seat headed by Xun Yu. Xun Yu didn't want to think about it, so Su Se arched his hand and said: "Regarding the master's plan to deal with the Ma family, Yu thought that it would take at least two years to prepare before it could be implemented. After all, the Ma family is huge, and it is even better than the Yuan family. And if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway had always been at odds, how could the Yuan family have perished so quickly? But Ma Teng and Ma Xi are father and son, once one party has something to ask for help, the other party will definitely come to the rescue. Therefore, we must be very cautious in dealing with Ma's affairs, because it is inevitable that food, armaments, and other important military materials will not be available one after another, so it is absolutely impossible to complete preparations without two years! Moreover, if the lord wants to announce to the world and lead the princes of all places to fight the Ma clan together, I am afraid that it will also take time to discuss with the princes first, but this will also take time. Xun Yu spoke harshly, analyzed them one by one, and heard that the soldiers of the Cao army changed color one after another, and even hit their morale a little.
"Two years!? Wouldn't the Ma clan also stabilize the situation, and then I am afraid that it will inevitably be a fierce battle! Cao Ren's expression couldn't help but change, and he said with concern.
"If you rush to send troops, the situation on the side of the ghost god Ma Xi is indeed unstable, but I don't want Xiliang to have no war for many years, Ma Teng's command not only has plenty of troops, but also has enough food. But if Ma Teng leads Xiliang's troops to kill, how can we resist it!? Xun Yu immediately raised his voice and asked, quite majestic, and his momentum was not inferior to that of a Cao general.
Cao Ren listened, frowned, and did not speak. Xiahoudun couldn't bear it, and shouted with a few shots: "The lord didn't mean to call on the princes of the world to conquer together, and then he could order Zhang Lu of Hanzhong and Liu Yan of Yizhou to send troops to fight together!" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work!" As soon as Xiahoudun's voice fell, Liu Ye on the strategist seat opposite answered. Immediately, I saw Liu Ye stand up, bow to Cao Cao, and then say: "According to the detailed report, Liu Yan seems to have died of illness not long ago, and Yizhou is in chaos. His son Liu Zhangzheng is leading Yizhou to stabilize the situation, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to send troops for a while. Moreover, Zhang Luqi's Zhang family established the Heavenly Master Dao long before Hanzhong, also known as the Five Bucket Rice Dao. His grandfather, Zhang Ling, was the founder of the Heavenly Master's Dao. ”
"Well, I've also heard of this Heavenly Master's Dao, but the people in his sect are all Taoist priests who do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and they are not cults like the Yellow Turban Sect that incite the people to rebel." Jia Xu covered his chin with interest and replied. It is said that he himself is a person from Xiliang, and even traveled to Hanzhong, when the Heavenly Master Dao was still the second generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Lu's father, Zhang Heng. And Jia Xu also clearly remembers that the Heavenly Master Tao is quite prestigious in Hanzhong, and even often helps the people, and Zhang Heng has repeatedly dismissed his family wealth and sent rice and grain to the people.
"Hmph. The Taoists of this Heavenly Master Dao were indeed good people who did good deeds and accumulated virtues, but since the death of the second generation Zhang Heng. When Liu Yan heard that his wife was delicate, he summoned Zhang Heng's wife in the name of eliminating ghosts and praying for blessings. It is said that the relationship between the two was ambiguous, but Zhang Lu also ignored it, and later became the third generation of heavenly masters, and through his mother's relationship, he was favored by Liu Yan. At that time, Liu Yan saw that Zhang Lu's Heavenly Master Dao was quite prestigious in Hanzhong, so he appointed him as the Governor of Yi Sima, and led troops with Sima Zhang Xiu of other departments to attack Hanzhong Taishou Sugu. After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu plotted against Zhang Xiu, not only killed him, but also captured Zhang Xiu's soldiers. Liu Yan didn't know that Zhang Lu did it at the time, and listened to Zhang Lu's slander, thinking that Zhang Xiu was killed by Su Gu's old department. At the same time, Liu Yan listened to Zhang Lu's advice, cut off the Xiegu Road, killed the imperial court envoys, and thus severed the relationship between the imperial court and Yizhou, and vainly wanted to claim the king independently according to Shu.
It's a pity that Liu Yan died suddenly not long ago, and his son Liu Zhang has long hated Zhang Lu very much. Coupled with the unstable situation in Yizhou, Liu Zhang wanted to get rid of Zhang Lu in order to cut off future troubles. What kind of character is Zhang Lu, not only holding the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, but also having the Heavenly Master Tao as his canine teeth. Zhang Lu also took precautions, and taught the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master Dao half a year ago to educate the people, and the positions were strictly disciplined. Now this Heavenly Master Dao has become a cult, and the followers are all over Hanzhong, and even there are many followers in Bajun and other places, roughly calculated, at least tens of thousands of people, plus the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong. If Liu Zhang wants to deal with Zhang Lu, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Therefore, these two men are afraid that there will be a war in the near future. In a short period of time, it is impossible to get their troops to help. Besides, Zhang Lu cut off the slope valley road, we want to go to Shu, only through guò Chencang to enter, that is the hinterland of Xiliang, I am afraid that the messenger we are waiting for has not yet arrived in Hanzhong, and will be intercepted by the Ma family's fine work. Liu Ye said sharply. Cao's context Wu listened, and nothing changed color. Cao Cao frowned, and said: "In this way, if Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang want to join forces to attack the Xiliang Ma Clan, it will probably be difficult to ascend to the sky." ”
