Chapter 781: Why Is It So Slow
"General Gao, we're late!"
Zhou Yu's big move, if Cao Ren didn't get a little information, it would be impossible. However, when Gao Ran led 3,000 cavalry to Duliang City in a hurry, Zhou Yu was already on a boat, pulling a mountain of materials and staggering all the way north back to Changsha.
"Bang dang", the warehouse in Duliang City was opened, and the things that were piled up before because of Liu Biao's order were long gone, but Zhou Yu was still relatively kind, and some of the broken ones were left for Gao Ran.
"Damn Zhou Yu, Yan is silent!" Gao Ran looked at the warehouse as if it had been robbed, and couldn't help but be happy. "That's it! Inform the general of the situation immediately. ”
Everyone has already gone away, and now they can't catch up, and the news that Sun Ce and Cao De have turned against each other has not yet reached here. Therefore, Gao Ran generously let Zhou Yu go. Unfortunately, if Gao Ran dared to go to Changsha County in time, he might be able to catch Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu left in a dashing manner, but Cao Ren didn't know that Liu Biao had been taken to Changsha by Zhou Yu. Therefore, after Cao Ren arrived in Yizhou, he was still looking for Liu Biao's traces. After Cao Ren was about to run all over Jingzhou, Cao De finally sent a message from his side.
The army was stationed in Jingzhou and closely monitored Changsha County. Sun Ce has formed an alliance with Liu Bei!
At this time, Cao De had also fought many battles with Liu Bei and Sun Ce. Although Cao De's side won more and lost less, the situation of confrontation between the two sides still did not change.
Zhuge Liang is worthy of being a bull-breaking figure who has praised for 2,000 years. Every time Liu Bei and Sun Ce's armies were in a desperate situation, Zhuge Liang was always able to find Cao De's weak point, so that the army could turn the tide of danger.
And Guo Jia, as a top strategist of the same era, often lamented Zhuge Liang's talent. Later, I didn't know what Guo Jia thought, so I went to Cao De to ridicule Cao De.
Isn't the prime minister boasting that he has a pair of discerning eyes that are unparalleled in the world? Didn't the prime minister say that there are no major flaws in the ownership of talents in the world? Why did Zhuge Liang pop up at a critical moment? Moreover, the most important thing is that this Zhuge Liang is so bullish!
It's not just Cao De who is praising Zhuge Liang, but even Sun Ce, who has always been above the top, can't help but want to give a thumbs up when discussing things with Zhuge Liang. It's amazing, it can be fought with our family's Zhou Lang.
Now, Cao De's greatest concern is undoubtedly the war in front of him.
It's been more than a month, and the soldiers on both sides have been fighting for a month, and the two sides have not made any progress at all, except for a lot of sports. Just when Cao De was at a loss for the battle, Luoyang began to have all kinds of news coming constantly.
Cao Cao's body was sent back to Luoyang by Mao Jue. Luoyang's reaction did not surprise Cao De.
Sad, happy, chaotic......
Cao Pi, the king of Wei who had already begun to make preparations for turning positive, pulled the army that had just been transferred to Youzhou back to Luoyang.
Why Cao De was able to control Luoyang and the Son of Heaven was not a charisma or a high morality, but the army. And now Cao Pi is facing a more dangerous situation than Cao Cao.
The unhappiness of Cao De's frontline has reached Luoyang, and some of the ministers who had previously supported Cao Cao have realized that this is a great opportunity. And those courtiers who were loyal to the Han and the Son of Heaven were constantly moving.
Cao Pi already sensed the danger. Therefore, the 30,000 troops that Cao Pi had just sent to Youzhou were urgently transferred back to Luoyang, and Cao Pi also sent a letter to Cao De, asking Cao De to return to Luoyang to preside over the overall situation.
It stands to reason that Cao Pi's army has returned, and Cao Pi should not have this fear, but Cao De ignored one thing. Cao Cao died suddenly, and Cao Cao did not say anything about the heir.
Although Cao Pi has now become the eldest son, Cao Cao still has two sons who can be with Cao Pi. This is Cao Chang and Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi are not very old, but the coming-of-age ceremony is a matter of the next year. Moreover, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi's performance in some aspects is indeed stronger than Cao Pi.
Moreover, because of the previous years, Cao Cao's attention has always been on Cao Ang. After Cao Ang's accident, it was Cao Shuo again. After Cao Shuo died, it was Cao Pi's turn. Coupled with the fact that Cao Pi was young at the time, Cao Pi's power to attract some important people was not enough at all. Therefore, Cao Pi is dangerous.
This danger was actually brought by the 30,000 troops who came back from Youzhou.
At present, the movements in Luoyang are in the 30,000 army. Whoever masters these 30,000 troops will be able to sit in the position of heir.
Although Cao Pi is very confident that he can seize these 30,000 soldiers and horses and achieve his own throne. However, the most feared thing in the world is what if.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.
And to get rid of this in case, Cao Pi has another way, and the key to this method is Cao De. As long as Cao De goes to Luoyang, he will support Cao Pi to take the position. Who cares, who dares not to support Cao Pi?
After Cao Pi sent a letter to Cao De, Cao De considered that the war on the front line on his side was not going well, and if there was another fire in the backyard, it would be a lot of fun. Therefore, after Cao De handed over the power of the army to Xu Shu, he rushed to Luoyang with Pei Yuanshao, Huang Wudie and six hundred guards.
Chen Liucheng is not far from Luoyang, less than four hundred miles. But on the 400-mile road, Cao De had already been assassinated by five or six waves.
Once, Cao De was riding a war horse, and an arrow flew out of the woods on the side of the road, if Cao De hadn't reacted quickly enough to dodge his head in time, it would not have been just an arm injury.
When the assassination arrow flew out, Cao De immediately thought that the other party's target was himself. Although the other party injured Cao De's arm, Cao De did not let Pei Yuanshao lead people into the woods.
Since the other party dares to assassinate himself, he must have come prepared. And this preparation must have been very thorough. Therefore, according to the missed arrow, Cao De deduced that in order to achieve secrecy, the number of the other party was not large. Otherwise, there will definitely not be only one arrow that greeted me just now.
Next, Cao De became alert and sat in the carriage. However, when Cao De put a shield in the carriage, the assassin actually changed his methods. Just as Cao De's carriage was driving in the middle of the valley, a boulder actually rolled down. In order to prevent the attack of the arrow, Cao De put several shields in the carriage, but in this way, the carriage was still smashed into cakes by the huge impact.
Fortunately, with the existence of these shields, Cao Decai was lucky to save his life in the gap between the shield and the mountain stone.
Later, when Cao De's team rested at night, Cao De's tent was also pierced into a beecomb by lost arrows......
When Cao De crossed the river, there was a leak in the bottom of the boat......
In the end, when Cao De saw the city wall of Luoyang City, he said with a sigh: "Four hundred miles, how did you get out of the taste of learning scriptures from the west!" ”
However, through this assassination after assassination, Cao De finally understood Cao Pi's situation. It seems that there are really many people who hope that they will never be able to reach Luoyang.
However, what surprised Cao De even more was that Cao De actually saw Cao Fan at the gate of Luoyang City.
"The child has seen his father. It's only 400 miles, why did my father walk for so long? When Cao Fan saw Cao De, he couldn't help but complain: "The child has been waiting for five days at this city gate!" ”
