Chapter 309: The soldiers are divided into two ways
Liu Bei is gone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info took Guan Yu and Liu Ye to find Liu Xie.
However, before Liu Bei left, Cao De's words made Liu Bei break out in a cold sweat.
Cao De said that when Liu Bei raised his troops and started an incident, Cao De would give Liu Bei 8,000 ring-headed broadswords.
Liu Ye didn't understand what Cao De meant at all, although Guan Yu thought about it, he didn't dare to be sure, so Liu Bei knew it very clearly. Cao De is talking about his 8,000 soldiers and horses.
These 8,000 people are Liu Bei's lifeblood, so when Liu Bei participated in the alliance, he threw these 8,000 people into Taihang Mountain and let them hide.
Don't forget, Liu Bei once led his troops to participate in the Battle of Julu, rescued Gongsun Zhan, and fought with Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. Therefore, these 8,000 soldiers are elite veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.
Liu Bei knew, and he knew from beginning to end, that the alliance of the princes of the fifteenth road was just a joke, so Liu Bei didn't bring troops at all. But now looking at Cao De's meaning, it is obvious that he has found the location of his own army.
In that case, it's dangerous. However, compared to Cao De's wild words brought by Liu Bei, it was really a small thing.
Liu Bei finally left Cao De with his great ideals to find Liu Xie. And Cao De finally told Liu Bei his purpose. In Cao De's opinion, the two should be regarded as torn apart.
However, Cao De didn't want to kill Liu Bei so simply. If Liu Bei is missing on the road in the future, wouldn't the fun be reduced by half.
Therefore, Liu Bei left safely. So Cao De polished his blade and began to set off for Chang'an.
But at present, there is another obstacle between Cao De and Chang'an. That is, the 30,000 Li Dao troops who were originally stationed on the east bank of Fengshui and later came to attack Juxian.
Although Li Dao ran away, they did not flee west to Liangzhou because of the obstruction of Juxian and waterlogging; And there is also a very important point, they are basically all composed of refugees who followed Liu Xie from Luoyang to Chang'an; The most critical point is that they don't know where Li Dao has already run, so they can run.
Although Cao De felt a little angry because Liu Xie abandoned Chang'an and ran away, Cao De held back. While sending the Blade Battalion to defend Ganting City, Cao De's 100,000-strong army came to the east bank of the waterlogged city. Then Cao De sent a letter of persuasion to Li Jijun, who had no parents.
At first, they didn't believe that their general had abandoned them. Therefore, one by one, they clamored that they would never surrender. But when Cao De put on a full offensive posture, the other party suddenly proposed to cross the river to confirm.
can surrender the soldiers without a fight, and can take these 30,000 people without any losses, why not Cao De. Therefore, Cao De generously asked them to select a few representatives to go around the camp left by Li Dao. After that, they surrendered.
Since then, there has been no obstacle for Cao De to go to Chang'an.
After Cao De left the Gudun battalion to guard Ganting and Juxian, he once again divided the army into two routes.
Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan once again divided into another way, and took the Suzaku Cavalry, the Xuanwu Cavalry, and the Jiangun Battalion from Ganting to the west. And Cao De took the remaining generals and troops and drove east towards Chang'an.
In Chang'an, since Liu Xie fled, the 10,000 defenders in the city have been divided into three factions and quarreled non-stop. Some of them wanted to follow Li Dao back to Liangzhou, some wanted to go to Tongguan to join Duan Xuan, who was stationed in Tongguan and Hangu Pass, and the last part wanted to stay in Chang'an City and wait for Cao De's incorporation.
It didn't take long for them to get the news. Cao De has crossed the Fengshui and is coming to Chang'an! The city of Chang'an suddenly became quiet, and the three parties no longer argued, but began to put into action.
Those who wanted to return to Liangzhou crossed Weishui from the north of Chang'an City; Those who want to go to Tongguan also rode eastward; Those who wanted to take refuge in Cao De opened the gates of Chang'an City.
"Report~, the lord of Qiqi, the defenders of Chang'an City have opened the city gates, disarmed and surrendered!" A sentry rider quickly came to Cao De's side and reported loudly to Cao De.
"Got it! Go down and rest! Cao De's face was overjoyed, and he said to the sentry horseman.
After the sentry retreated, Cao De turned his head to Guo Jia behind him and asked, "Fengxiao, you said that the defenders in Chang'an City will open the city gate to welcome me into the city, will there be a fraud!" ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly, "The lord is too worried, now that Li Dao is retreating, the defenders in Chang'an City must have no will to fight." However, even if they have any conspiracies and tricks, they are just mayflies shaking the tree mantis arms as a car in front of the lord! ”
When Cao De heard this, he laughed. And Guo Jia said: "Actually, the lord has already measured in his heart, why do you still want to ask Jia? Could it be that the lord wants to take the test or not? ”
Guo Jia said, glanced at Cao De, and the two immediately laughed again.
Cao De drove into Chang'an City with a big grin. The only remaining more than 3,000 soldiers in the city lined up in a phalanx outside Chang'an City, and when Cao De arrived, they dropped their weapons in front of Cao De.
Immediately, Cao De came to Weiyang Palace. Cao De was now on the palace wall, looking at the endless attic Yuyu, and couldn't help but sigh: "Chang'an, is it really Chang'an?" ”
There are still many palace maids and little eunuchs in the Weiyang Palace who have no time to escape with Liu Xie. And Cao De waved his hand, and you can go home.
However, in troubled times, it doesn't seem like a good way to go home. The palace maid is better, find a heroic character to marry, and you can still have food and clothing for the rest of your life. But those little eunuchs are difficult to do, they don't have the foundation of being a man, and they can't hold a knife. There is no sunflower treasure book or evil sword book in this world for them to become martial arts masters in one fell swoop. Therefore, many eunuchs prayed to Cao De to take them in.
However, the eunuch is a person who specializes in dressing the Son of Heaven, although Cao De has the intention of taking the Han Dynasty and standing on his own, and he has also expressed it to Liu Bei truthfully, but Cao De doesn't want to tell the world so early.
Cao De believes that it is not certain whether Liu Bei will be with the Son of Heaven, and even if Liu Bei tells the Son of Heaven, it is not certain whether the Son of Heaven and Liu Bei will inform the world, and more importantly, it is even more unknown when Liu Bei will find the Son of Heaven.
So, Cao De sighed, looked at the poor eunuchs, and his heart softened. If you don't want to leave, then stay in Weiyang Palace. I will feed and clothe you, but you have to take care of the palace.
The eunuchs received Cao De's personal promise, and the most important food and clothing were solved, and they were immediately full of joy. And, at this time, many of the palace maids who had been worried about their future before also begged Cao De to take them in.
In this troubled world, although there are many heroes, there are a few women who can be favored by people with ability. Therefore, their future is also worrying. And these palace maids are not so difficult for Cao De. Pack up and go to my general's mansion to be a maid.
It's already the best for them. At least eating and drinking is not a problem, and it may also marry a soldier with military achievements. If you can get Cao De's favor, it will not be a skyrocket.
Cao De occupied the city of Chang'an. Jing Zhaoyin, who is west of Tongguan, is surnamed Cao. And Xu Shu and others on the other road also captured the right Fufeng very smoothly.
On the other hand, now Cao De and Cao Cao's territories can be regarded as connected. It's just that the two of them now only have a small Duan Xuan, Hangu Pass, Tongguan, and an army of more than 20,000 and less than 30,000 who have become rootless.
