Three hundred and one Liu Zhang was a little stunned
"The lord is now preparing soldiers, and when the time comes, he can stick to Xuchang, and the lord can also issue an edict from the Son of Heaven, calling on all the princes of the world to come to Qinwang. At that time, no matter how strong Liu Zhang was, it was not enough to face the heroes of the world. Guo Jia suffered a defeat and decided to go back to regain his strength and compete with that Liu Zhang in the future. This failure must have been a preconceived notion that it would not be the case in the future.
Cao Cao nodded and didn't speak, but Cheng Yu on the side said loudly: "The lord can send a messenger to ask for peace with Liu Zhang, and by the way, marry Liu Zhang to marry Qin and Jin, and then give Liu Zhang's beautiful money to see if Liu Zhang can not send troops." If Liu Zhang agrees, the lord can also ally with Liu Zhang, and can buy grain, grass and armaments to continue to deal with Yuan Shao. If Liu Zhang does not agree, the lord can go north to form an alliance with Yuan Shao and give up the Son of Heaven. When the time comes, the lord will gather Yuan Shao's power to destroy Liu Zhang, and then the lord will separate from Yuan Shao. Cheng Yu was still ready to test Liu Zhang according to the previous plan. This defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is Liu Zhang's foresight.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "I hope Liu Zhang is really as greedy and lustful as rumored, if so, it's best." Compared with the alliance with Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang is still the first choice. Summoned the order to the full favor and asked him to prepare for a trip. In addition, Cao Hong went back to Xuchang to prepare soldiers, horses, money and food to prevent Liu Zhang's surprise attack. This can be regarded as a two-handed preparation, in case Liu Zhang does not accept their overtures, he can also take precautions.
"By the way, let the full favor be exchanged for the corpse of filial piety and evil......" said this, how sad Cao Cao was. He marched and fought with Cao Ang, which is enough to prove that Cao Cao likes Cao Ang quite a lot. But this time he led the troops to lose his son and made him lose a general.
Cao Cao was waiting for it, but Liu Zhang came to Shangcai in a bit of a daze. Along the way, Liu Zhang received a lot of battle reports, first Shangcai was besieged by Cao Cao's 150,000 army, followed by the Runan crisis Wu Yi sent troops to help, in the second Cao army defeated Wen Ping killed Cao Ang, Gao Shun and others captured Dian Wei and Cao Cao's nephew and other generals. This series of news made Liu Zhang a little dizzy, to be honest, Liu Zhang knew that Wen Ping was a famous general, but he didn't expect him to be so capable?
Dizzy and frantically hurried, even the big and small Qiao Liu Zhang left behind, and then quickly arrived at Shangcai. When he got off the horse, Liu Zhang's legs were a little soft, did Luo Quan's legs just practice like this? Zhang Ren and others on the side hurriedly supported Liu Zhang, and all the way to the hall, Liu Zhang poured a few sips of water to feel a little comfortable.
Looking at Wen Ping, Han Song, Gao Shun and the others, Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Sit down, bring Na Dian Wei up." "Liu Zhang is very curious about that black-faced villain, of course, Cao Ang will kill him, anyway, Liu Zhang didn't see it. Does Cao Cao hate himself? Presumably not, that kind of person still took in Zhang Xiu in order to show his generosity.
Taking advantage of the fact that Dian Wei did not come up, Liu Zhang said to Wen Ping, Gao Shun and others: "This time you did a very good job, don't forget to count the fallen soldiers into the finances of each county." Secondly, the rewards of soldiers should not be less, of course, there are disabled soldiers on the battlefield, so find them a job. Liu Zhang doesn't want to say anything about what has happened, but Liu Zhang will mention more about what hasn't happened yet.
Without saying a few words, Dian Wei was brought, and he looked much haggard after not eating or drinking much for three days. A layer of skin appeared on his mouth, but he still looked ugly like this, no wonder Cao Cao called him evil. This kind of portrait is simply a villain. Seeing Liu Zhang, he was stunned for a moment, but his eyes were wide and he didn't speak at all......
"Thirsty, hungry, right?" This kind of person will definitely not be bought, so Liu Zhang does not have the kind of intention to recover Dian Wei.
Waiting for Liu Zhang viciously, he snorted coldly and said, "Even if you starve to death and die of thirst, I will not beg you for mercy." "I really didn't feel scared at all, Liu Zhang felt that if it weren't for the shield and rope of Eucommia ulmoides, this guy would definitely be killed until he died in battle.
Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then you can go after a full meal, come and serve wine and food......" I can't say a lot about this big man Liu Zhang's good feelings, and I don't have any bad feelings. If you can't recover it, staying by your side is a bomb, and it's even more disgusting to go back, so you can only ask him to die.
Dian Wei was loosened left and right, and there were so many generals who were not afraid that Dian Wei would rush up and fight hard. As the jar of wine opened, Na Dian Wei's eyes lit up. When he was under Cao Cao, he did not drink less of this wine. It's a pity that Cao Cao doesn't have much, and he can only drink a little occasionally. This time, looking at the jar of fine wine, Dian Wei directly mentioned it and poured it violently......
"Comfortable ......" grabbed the braised meat on the table after speaking, and half a catty was gone after a few bites. As for the buns, he took two bites and one of them. This large pile of food was much better than what he usually ate, and a mouthful of food quickly disappeared into his mouth.
"This meal is the coolest meal I've ever eaten, good wine, good wine." After speaking, Dian Wei got up directly and walked outside: "Come and kill me, Dian Wei ......" has a bit of a heroic feeling.
Liu Zhang knew that this person was not a hero, he was not a hero, he would not use it for himself anyway, so he should not pity anything. With a click, Dian Wei's head fell to the ground, and Dian Wei and Cao Ang were both sealed with lime, and they would be given to Cao Cao when the time came. After all, their identities are not ordinary, and Cao Cao will definitely take them back.
"The lord we can counterattack Cao Cao, now Cao Cao's loss of troops is demoralized, and the lord can easily attack Xuchang with his troops." Han Song on the side said that the opportunity now is very rare.
Li Ru on the side pulled Han Song and said: "Degao owes it to consider, the lord has not stopped for two years when he sent troops, and now although Cao Cao has lost his troops, Xuchang definitely still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we will inevitably lose a lot of soldiers and horses at that time." What's more, did Degao forget Yuan Shao? Do you want to go to Yuan Shao for Cao **? The last sentence is the key, once Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are really united, Liu Zhang is really a little difficult to do.
Han Song thought for a while, it seemed that if this was really the case, he would really take Cao ** to Yuan Shao, and then Liu Zhang would face two big enemies. Although Yuan Shao is not very good, Cao Cao is a little scary when he hides behind the scenes. At that time, once Cao Cao was secretly accumulating power, it would be really a bit terrifying. Then it is better to let Cao Cao be in the light all the time, which is definitely much better for Liu Zhang than in the dark.
"Song is worried, what are the plans of the lord?" Han Song looked at Liu Zhang in a daze and couldn't help asking. This battle established Liu Zhang's absolute domination over the west, and from today onwards, the west is absolutely in a stable situation, and there will be no more rebellions from the inside.
Liu Zhang was actually not thinking about what was going to happen next, but thinking about Cao Ang's death, so Cao Pi could finally come out? This means that Cao's civil strife is about to begin? Of course, this civil strife still has to be Cao **, as for whether to fight Cao Cao now? Seriously, Liu Zhang really didn't have this idea, because Cao Cao hadn't solved Yuan Shao yet, and he hadn't carried out a large-scale massacre in the north, and some people in Yuan Shao needed to die, so Cao Cao had to do it.
There are many gate valves in Jizhou and other places, and they all support Yuan Shao, which Cao Cao will inevitably solve some gate valves for his own rule, which will make Liu Zhang of the province move the knife. But Cao Cao wants to ally with himself and deal with the powerful Yuan Shao, so what benefits does he want to give himself?
"We are not in a hurry, Cao Cao will inevitably send an envoy after this battle, and we will see when the time comes. There will be no more wars in Yuzhou within five years, and Zhongye can take good care of Shangcai and work hard here when the time comes. If you don't understand anything about internal affairs, you can go to Chang'an for advice, and if you have talents in internal affairs, you can also let him go to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination. "Liu Zhang was already a little tired after killing Dian Wei.
The news of this battle was still transmitted, and the first to get the news was Liu Bei. Listening to the messenger's story, Liu Bei's heart became more and more shocked. How powerful is Cao Cao's soldiers? There is no need to think about this at all, Liu Bei knows it very well in his heart. But Cao Cao led away Liu Zhang's main force, and then gathered an army of 150,000 to attack Shang Cai. But who knew that in Shang Cai, he directly lost more than 100,000 troops, and even killed his eldest son Cao Ang and the general Dian Wei, which can be described as a blood loss.
"Then Liu Zhang's main force is in the south, but Cao's army was actually calculated, so who is Shangcai commanding the troops?" Liu Bei really admires it, even if he is given sixty or seventy thousand troops, can he defeat Cao Cao's 150,000 siege army? Liu Bei felt that he couldn't do it, so Liu Zhang's generals were too powerful, right?
"The lord doesn't need to be anxious, most of the 150,000 Cao army are young and strong, and secondly, the Cao army went to the south and then to Shangcai, and the combat effectiveness will naturally decline. Secondly, Liu Zhang's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was very powerful, and it was normal for Cao's army to lose in the Battle of the Plains. What's more, Cao Ang attacked the city for several days in a row, but was attacked in the rear on the day the city was about to be broken, and he was bound to fail miserably if he was careless. Xu Shu is not nervous, he wins more with less, and he has more ancient and modern, not to mention that Liu Zhang is not without advantages.
Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's analysis and couldn't help sighing: "There are too many strategists and generals under Liu Zhang, and Cao Cao is probably going to march if he is defeated this time." Liu Bei felt that if he had such a chance of victory, he would inevitably go all the way east, and he would inevitably capture Cao Cao alive at that time.
Xu Shu chuckled and said, "Lord Liu Zhang won't deal with Cao Cao, at least not now." Or a few of Liu Zhang's advisers will suggest not to deal with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao in the north occupies the richest state and county in the world, and now the power is unstoppable, if Liu Zhang is pressed, Cao Cao will go to Yuan Shao's refuge, since this is the case, Liu Zhang will not easily move troops. "There are really few top strategists in the world who are optimistic about Yuan Shao. Whether it is Xu Shu, or Na Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, or even Zheng Du and Li Ru don't look down on Yuan Shao, this is enough to explain the problem.
