One Thousand and Four Wei Wu whipped his whip
The scorching sun shone on the surface of the Zhanghe River, rippling and rippling, and then reflected on the layers of dense armor, shaking people can't open their eyes.
The wind blows, the huge banner on the upper floor of Ye County is hunting, and the big banner of the word "Wei" is waving in the wind, just like the 200,000 troops with high morale under the city tower.
Cao Cao, dressed in military uniform, accompanied by a group of civil officials such as Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, Kuai Liang, Liu Fu, and Mao Jue, slowly walked up to the city tower, stopped at the edge of the city wall, and scanned the energetic Wei soldiers under the city with his hand on the battlements.
"King Wei Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
When they saw Cao Cao's figure, the 200,000 heroes were boiling, and they raised their weapons and shouted loudly, the sound was scorching, and the sound shook the world.
Since defeating Temujin and completely purging the north, Cao Cao left his cousin Cao Bin as the main general, and the strategist Jia Xu joined the army, leading LinkedIn Bu, Xia Luqi, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, Tong Yuan and others to lead 100,000 troops to sit in Zhuo County, and confront Li Tang and Li Jing's army, gradually becoming a canine tooth.
Cao Cao led the army back to Yecheng, and after half a year of recuperation, the soldiers were full of food, swords and guns were gradually sharpened, and morale was rising day by day.
The battle to destroy the Yuan greatly increased Cao Cao's national strength, and a total of more than 50,000 war horses were obtained, and there were countless cattle, sheep and horses. By recruiting prisoners, recruiting Qiang, Qian, Xianbei and other foreign races, and recruiting troops from Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Central Plains and other regions, the total number of troops under his command was increased by 150,000 in one year, and the total number of troops under his command was increased to 500,000.
After half a year of training and integration, replenishing armor, and distributing knives and guns, Cao Cao ordered his eldest son Cao Ang to lead 50,000 new troops to Bingzhou to sit in the town, and ordered Xiahoudun to lead the veterans of Bingzhou to come to Yecheng to listen to orders. Prepare to launch a war in the Central Plains before Liu Wei pacifies Yizhou.
"If Liu Wei pacifies Bashu, the Western Han Dynasty will suffer from the enemy. Attacked before and after, it was only a matter of time before and after! When the lips die, the teeth are cold. In the next step, the Eastern Han Army is bound to march into Hebei, and the lone one should be the first to strike! In the spring, Cao Cao stroked his beard and made a strategic choice.
After receiving the order, Xiahoudun gathered troops and horses in Jinyang and prepared grain and grass, while waiting for Guo Ziyi and Pang De to expel Temujin's team and return.
At the end of May, Guo Ziyi led his troops to return triumphantly from the Western Regions, and after recuperating for half a month, he joined forces with the 70,000 horses and horses gathered by Xiahoudun from Bingzhou, and marched to Yecheng. Prepare to rendezvous with the main army and officially declare war on the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Congratulations to General Yuan to set off. This meeting with my father's sword pointing at the Central Plains will definitely turn the overall situation of the world upside down! ”
Cao Ang, the prince who had just temporarily taken over the military and political power of the state, with the assistance of Xun You, Hao Zhao, Wang Ling, Jia Kui and a group of civil and military forces, sent a 20-mile journey of 100,000 troops led by Xiahoudun to bid farewell together.
The one-eyed Xiahoudun returned the salute: "Prince of the world, please rest assured, although Liu Wei's army is strong, he is fighting on all sides. Our army gathers forces and storms all the way, and there will be something to gain. The Xiongnu Hukou have been completely purged. There will be no foreign harassment in the state for three or five years, and the prince can rest assured that the place will be governed! ”
The 100,000 army left Jinyang, waving flags all the way, and the horses' hooves rumbled. Half a month later, they arrived outside the city of Ye County, where they joined up with the 100,000 troops stationed here to train and recuperate, and prepared to cross the Yellow River. Officially competed with the Eastern Han army for the Central Plains.
The news of Liu Bei's death reached Yecheng as quickly as possible, and Cao Cao was immediately on pins and needles. It's hard to sleep. Immediately wrote a letter last night to crusade against Liu Wei, and decided to declare war on the Eastern Han Dynasty in this scorching summer. We must not wait for Liu Wei to completely calm down Bashu before reacting. Preemptive strikes have always been the best strategy, and making amends can only be an excuse for fools to comfort themselves.
Although the sun was scorching, the wind was exceptionally strong, blowing Cao Cao's robe hunting, slowly unfolding the text against the wind, and reading it aloud: "Since Huan Ling, the court has lost its morality, sold officials and lords, and the people have no livelihood. The relatives of the eunuchs have been dictatorial one after another, and there are white bones on the road, and they are starving everywhere. The crown prince Liu Wei has been frivolous since he was a child, and he has not learned or skilled, and has been repeatedly despised by Emperor Ling, saying, 'This son is frivolous and immoral, and he is not worthy of being the king of a country!'" ”
After a pause, he glanced at the 200,000 soldiers under the city with a sharp gaze, and continued to chant: "Liu Wei's mother, He Shi, is vicious, and she will be avenged. Liu Bian's mother and son are all villains, selling their reputations, fooling the world, assassinating Emperor Xian in front, and plotting to assassinate Emperor Qi (Liu Che) in the back, the crime is unforgivable, and now he is a big army crusade, pointing at Jiangdong and smashing Jinling! ”
"The sword points to Jiangdong and smashes Jinling!"
As soon as Cao Cao's text was read, 200,000 soldiers raised their weapons one after another and responded to Cao Cao with a shout like a sea of mountains. Even the valleys in the distance responded, the sound filled the sky, the sky and the earth changed, and even the scorching sun quietly disappeared into the clouds.
As soon as the shouts of the soldiers fell, the one-eyed general in armor under the city wall stood up and shouted: "The Han family is dead, the new dynasty should be established, and the Liu family is no longer worthy of being the king of all peoples, please enthrone the king and be the emperor to strengthen the army!" ”
With the shouts of Xiahoudun, including Jia Fu, Wang Yanzhang, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Shan Xiongxin, Cao Wenzhao and other fierce generals stood up one after another, and bowed their hands under the city wall to ask for their lives: "Please enthrone the king and claim the emperor, crusade against the Wudao Liu clan, and announce to the world to boost the hearts of the army!" ”
Under the leadership of the generals, 200,000 soldiers raised their weapons in response: "Please enthrone the king and claim the emperor, crusade against the court, and strengthen the army!" ”
The generals' request came too suddenly, which caught Cao Cao a little off guard, and his eyes swept to Fan Zeng: "Fan Qing, did you plan to let Gu ascend the throne and become emperor?" ”
Fan Zeng shook his head: "It's true that Weichen doesn't know about this matter, but since everyone expects it, the king still obeys the will of the army and ascends the throne as the emperor!" ”
Guo Jia also stood up and said: "King, all the soldiers are working hard for you, who is not trying to be glorious and rich, and leave a name in history?" Who is willing to bear the name of a traitor, just like what you wrote in the text, the Han family is out of way, the people are back, the Liu family is no longer worthy of being the lord of the people, please enthrone the emperor and encourage the army and the people! ”
"What Fan and Guo said is that our army now has 500,000 armor, even if it is not as good as Liu Wei, it is enough to favor the north. Please enthrone the king and call him the emperor, set up a court, boost morale, and no longer condescend to others, which chills the hearts of soldiers! Liu Fu, Kuai Liang, Man Chong and other ministers rushed to the ground one after another, asking Cao Cao to ascend the throne.
"This matter came too suddenly, let's think about it again!" Cao Cao was a little unexpected, and it was difficult to make a decision by stroking his beard.
Fan Zeng admonished: "King, at this time and at that time, the princes were divided before, and whoever dared to rashly claim the emperor would become a rafter who came out and was attacked by a group." And now it is completely different, the princes have been cut off, and the whole world except for Liu Wei and the Luoyang court, there is only the king. In this troubled era, if you are not a monarch or a minister, even if the king accuses Liu Wei of being a faint monarch, he is also on the down, so the division is nameless, and the army is not upset. If the king can ascend the throne and become the emperor, he will crusade against the Han family without Taoism, and the **** will be right, and the morale of the army will be greatly boosted! ”
After listening to Fan Zeng's shocking words, Xiahou Dun, Jia Fu and other generals under the city tower once again pleaded for their lives: "Please enthrone the king and become the emperor, crusade against the Daoless Han family, and save the people of the world from fire and water!" ”
This time, including Guo Ziyi, Pang De, and Chen Ziyun and Han Baohu, who surrendered successively, also joined in: "The Han family has lost its morality, the people are not happy, the lives are ruined, the king is powerful all over the world, and the contemporary Han Dynasty is called the emperor, and the army is strong with the people's heart!" ”
Under the leadership of the civil and military forces, the 200,000 Cao soldiers under the city tower raised their weapons one after another to ask for their lives: "Please enthrone the king and call the emperor, we will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and crusade against the unTaoist court!" ”
Listening to the scorching shouts in their ears, Daxi Changru and Dolgon, who had just surrendered not long ago, looked dazed, originally just to save their lives, but now they want to become the ministers of Conglong who support the new emperor? Anyway, the Great Yuan Kingdom has been wiped out, and whoever is working for is not selling his life, just galloping on the battlefield for him Cao Mengde, maybe he can still make a name for himself!
Cao Cao was afraid that disobeying the wishes of the soldiers would lead to low morale, so he said loudly at the head of the city: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of ascending the throne is very important, and Lone Shang needs to solicit the civil and military opinions of other legions, and it is not too late to make a decision later!" ”
Under Cao Cao's resignation, the matter of ascending the throne was temporarily put on hold. After getting out of the city, Cao Cao immediately sent envoys to expedite 800 li, rushing to Xuchang to solicit Cao Ren and Cheng Yu, rushing to the plain to solicit the meaning of Xiahou Yuan, rushing to Youzhou to solicit the meaning of Cao Bin and Jia Xu, and rushing to Jinyang in Bingzhou to solicit the meaning of Cao Ang and Xun You. Should I obey the request of the soldiers, ascend the throne and become the emperor, establish the capital of the country, and confront Liu Wei from the north and south?
North of Chengdu, eighty miles of Luo County.
Su Qin, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Yu and others did not know Cao Cao's movements, but they knew the news that Liu Bei was poisoned and died and Liu Wei was unconscious, and immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Haha...... Su Shangshu is still powerful, he didn't need to spend a single soldier to take the lives of Liu Bei and Liu Wei, I, Liu Yu, really admired the five-body throw! Liu Yu praised and bent down to salute Su Qin. This guy is too awesome, if he doesn't accept it, he will be resurrected by Su Qin of the Six Kingdoms, I'm afraid I have to sigh to myself, right?
Even the arrogant Liu Yu was completely convinced, and Zhao Kuangyin was even more admired: "Su Shangshu is amazing, he can top an army of 100,000 with just a pen, no, no...... At least 200,000, 300,000! Even if there are 300,000 horses, they may not be able to take Liu Wei's life, but Su Shangshu only relied on a letter to kill Liu Wei and Liu Bei at the same time. ”
"Huh...... Don't brag about the two of you, I don't know Liu Feng at all. Su Qin shook his head, and said in confusion that I am more confused than you now, can you let me be quiet? (To be continued.) )
