Chapter 754: Kaifeng
Cao De left, and after staying in Luoyang City for a day and two nights, he left. However, in this day and two nights, the most wonderful thing was only two hours. In two hours, Cao De scolded the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty for a bloody death.
After that, Cao dragged Cao Pi and left.
This time, Cao De came to Luoyang for a very simple purpose, to build momentum for Cao Pi.
Cao Cao has been missing for more than a month, and if he is still alive, Cao Cao will definitely appear. And so far, there has been no news, so almost everyone has already decided that Cao Cao is dead.
It was based on this consideration that Cao De came to Luoyang to build momentum for Cao Pi and let Cao Pi take charge of the power of the King of Wei.
If Cao Ang hadn't had an accident, Cao De wouldn't have to make this trip at all. Cao Pi is too young, and he has a lot of power just after reaching the crown. Moreover, because Liu Xie's ministers in the court had a large number of people who were inclined to Liu Xie.
Cao Cao and Cao De are not the same. Cao Fan and Cao Pi are also different. If something happened to Cao De, Cao Fan would be able to take Cao De's place immediately, and the loyalty of Han Chinese officials, big and small, to Cao Fan would not be discounted. Moreover, not only Cao Fan, but also Cao Rong, Cao Chang and even the youngest Cao Sheng. Because, the team of Han China is Cao De's people, and they have almost no relationship with Liu Bian, the king of Hanzhong.
Therefore, Cao De was worried that once something went wrong with Cao Pi, Liu Xie's diehard loyalists would overthrow Cao Pi, thus expanding the strength of Liu Bei and Liu Biao.
Cao De's favorite thing is actually to convince people with virtue. This kind of gathering of people's hearts can last forever, but the current situation does not allow Cao De to do all kinds of work carefully, so he has to use force.
Knife holder on your neck, promise? You have to think about it.
To sum up, Cao De is here to tell Liu Xie, don't think that Brother Cao Cao's current whereabouts are unknown, you can jump, you can bully the orphans and widows of my Cao family casually. Without Cao Cao, there is still me, Cao De. Moreover, you have to understand one more thing, I am much more fierce than Cao Cao!
As soon as Cao De's front foot left, Luoyang Nangong began.
A large number of soldiers in black suits poured into the palace. As for the previous Praetorian Guard, they were driven back to the camp. All the guards in the palace were firmly held in Xiahoudun's hands in less than an hour.
The chickens and dogs in Nangong jumped, just because of Cao De's words, he had to be optimistic about Liu Xie no matter what. As long as Liu Xie is in the hands of our Cao family, the world will not change for a while and a half!
On the way out of the palace, Cao De kept talking to Xiahoudun about things, although Cao Pi followed behind. But some words fell on Cao Pi's ears, and it seemed to ...... Therefore, Cao De also overlooked one thing!
After the Luoyang incident, Cao De hurried to Kaifeng. By the time Cao De arrived in Kaifeng, the armies that had gone to fight on the Eastern Front had almost arrived at their designated positions. Outside Kaifeng City, Zhao Yun and Cao Hong have been waiting for a long time. And Cao De was not ambiguous, and directly took over the baton in Cao Hong's hand.
"What has Liu Bei been doing recently?" As soon as Cao De led the way into the city gate, Cao De couldn't help but ask.
"Back to the prime minister, it's been a month, Liu Bei's army has been staying on the east bank without moving, but the river-crossing camp on the west bank has been occupied by Liu Bei."
"Before, I proposed to take back this big camp, but I was stopped by General Zilong." Cao Hong said a little angrily.
"Good stop!" Cao De suddenly said loudly, "Liu Bei's military division Zhuge Liang is scheming and unpredictable. Don't say that Zilian is even if I don't pay attention, I'm afraid I will be on the road. Zilong did the right thing, and responded to all strategies with no action. It's just that Zilong didn't expect the enemy to move. ”
After Cao De finished speaking, Cao Hong seemed to be a little unconvinced, snorted coldly, and did not speak again. Cao De took a few steps forward, suddenly turned around, and said, "Since the enemy is not moving, then I have to ask him to move." Feng Xiao, repair a book for me. ”
Half a day later, at the gate of the Cao army camp occupied by Zhang Tong and Wang Shuang, a knight wearing a red suit and armor rode alone to the fifty steps of the gate.
"Liu Jun on the other side listened, this is a letter sent by the prime minister of my family to Zhang Tong and Wang Shuang as a general."
"Whoosh!"
Immediately, an arrow flew into Liu Beijun's camp with a letter.
Soon, the letter was delivered to Zhang Tong.
"Zhang Tong, Wang Shuang, I'm Cao De, do you remember me?"
"More than ten years ago, when you were in Hanzhong, you were still my businessmen in Hanzhong. When did you take refuge in Liu Bei and become a general? However, it can be seen that Liu Bei is average. My businessmen in Hanzhong can be his Liu Bei's general, should we say that we Hanzhong people are outstanding or should we say that Liu Bei has a good eye for talents? ”
"However, I am not going to pursue this issue. Everyone has their own aspirations, and as Hanzhong people, you can become Liu Bei's general, in fact, I am also very happy. Now, I will not kill you, because there are too few of you to be worth the dispatch of my army. Now, immediately roll back to the east coast for me and tell Liu Bei. I'm Cao De, isn't he always eager to fight me? Wouldn't he really want to kill me as a rebel? I gave him this chance. ”
"Go back, Liu Bei's cavalry is not much, if you lose your 10,000 people, Liu Bei will have no chance of winning. Don't be presumptuous with me, but think more about your lord. ”
After Zhang Tong and Wang Shuang saw the letter, they couldn't help but look at each other. The news that Cao De's army had arrived near Kaifeng had already received it. Now they need to face an army of 160,000.
Sixteen thousand, sixteen to one! How could Zhang Tong and Wang Shuang be able to block it. And when Zhang Tong and Wang asked Liu Bei for instructions on whether to attack Kaifeng, Zhuge Liang also gave a very clear answer, paying attention to the movements of Cao's army.
Now that Cao Jun's movement has been made, the task has been completed, and Cao Jun has strong assistance. If you don't leave now, can't you find death?
After a brief discussion between Zhang Tong and Wang Shuang, the 10,000 cavalry of Liu's army immediately left the camp and returned to the east bank of the Langdang Canal. And after Cao De received this news, he immediately summoned all the generals.
"The Battle of Kaifeng has been fought for ten years. In the past ten years, although Liu Bei has gone further, we have been stubbornly blocked by this wandering canal on the west bank. Cao Hong, is there a military in Kaifeng City? ”
"Twenty thousand infantry troops, seven thousand cavalry troops." What Cao De said was naturally the part of Cao Cao's army that belonged to Cao Cao.
"Okay, these 27,000 people will form an army by themselves, commanded by Cao Hong."
Cao Hong agreed, and Cao De continued: "I mean, tomorrow the army will cross the river collectively. The whole army marched in unison with battalions and armies as units. Our army has 200,000 troops, so why not be afraid of Liu Bei. The 200,000-strong army was divided into twenty or even forty river crossing sites. Even if Liu Bei can block the ten roads, can he still block the rest of the ten roads? ”
Cao De drew on the map casually, since we have a numerical advantage, then we have to spread it.
"Tomorrow, our three armies will come out together, and Kaifeng City will naturally become the top priority. The grain, grass, and equipment needed by our front-line army are all stored in Kaifeng City. Therefore, one person must be left behind in the opening of the seal. After Cao De finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at everyone.
The big war is imminent, and none of the generals who have been holding back the fire in their bellies want to let go of this opportunity. But looking at Cao De's meaning, this person who stayed in Kaifeng must also have some weight. Otherwise, just find a bias.
"Prime Minister! If you can believe it, give it to your subordinates! At the critical moment, Pound took the initiative to stand up.
"Okay, then Pound is in the second. When the army defeated Liu Bei's meritorious deeds, Pang De should be the first to make the reward. Pound, I will leave you with the Tianrui Army. Remember, Kaifeng City is about my 200,000 troops, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Prime Minister rest assured!"
This mistake does not just mean that Kaifeng was captured by Liu Bei. If Liu Bei really took Kaifeng, it can't be said to be a mistake, it should be said to be a disaster. What Cao De said about this mistake is actually that the supply must keep up.
