"Liu Zhang is dead?"
When Cao Cao heard the news, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and even had some doubts about who was joking with him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
In my heart, I can't wait for Liu Zhang to die.
But when I suddenly heard the news of Liu Zhang's death, I didn't believe it.
With a rather complicated feeling, Cao Cao summoned Jia Xing, who came from Wudu on Jia Xu's orders.
"In the past few years, the situation in Xichuan has been extremely chaotic.
In particular, in terms of people's livelihood, it has almost reached the point of collapse...... Since last year, Liu Zhang has appointed Liu Ba as a farewell driver to preside over the restoration of people's livelihood in Xichuan. After Liu Ba took office, through the abolition of bad currency, the stabilization of prices, and the gradual replacement of Jian'an heavy treasure, etc., Xichuan has indeed undergone a lot of changes.
However, due to the severity of the previous problems, although Liu Ba tried his best to recover, the effect was not very obvious. Although prices in Chengdu have stabilized, they are still very high.
Moreover, since last year, the turmoil in South China has intensified.
Liu Bei was stationed in Nanzhong, only to stabilize the situation, but he did not start to change the environment. Moreover, Liu Bei kept asking Liu Zhang for heavy materials, which also made Liu Zhang very stressed. After the autumn, Liu Zhang had to engage in Wu Yi's suggestion and invite Liu Bei to come to discuss things in Chengdu. Originally, it wasn't a big problem, but I didn't want someone to suddenly jump out and assassinate Liu Zhang when Liu Zhang entered Liu Bei's camp to discuss things.
Then, Liu Bei forcibly seized Chengdu.
Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Lei Tong, Huang Quan Liu Ba and others gathered troops and horses in a hurry to protect Liu Zhang's son Liu Kai to evacuate Chengdu and retreat to Brazil, and on the way to retreat, they destroyed the warehouse west of Fushui and stalemate with Liu Bei.
And Bajun was too strict and determined to raise troops, ready to avenge Liu Zhang.
When my father learned the news, he immediately ordered his ministers to come and report it, asking the king to make a decision as soon as possible, so as to prepare Liu Bei for his big seat. β
Liu Zhang is really dead!
This time, Cao Cao completely believed in Liu Zhang's death.
"Is it really Liu Bei who killed Liu Zhang?"
Jia Xing thought about it for a while, and then replied: "The specific situation, the minister is not very clear. I only know that Chengdu is now in chaos, and the people of Xichuan are panicking. According to the news from Shi Guangyuan, since the news of Liu Zhang's death came out, people from Xichuan have continued to flee Yizhou and take refuge in Hanzhong......
According to the words of those fugitives, Liu Bei led his troops to Chengdu at that time, and Liu Zhang wanted to invite him into the city, but was stopped by Huang Quan and others. So Liu Bei camped outside Chengdu and invited Liu Zhang to a banquet, and Liu Zhang was happy to go. I didn't want to be at the banquet, an assassin suddenly attacked, and Liu Zhang was killed on the spot. β
Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp.
He frowned and muttered, revealing a look of thought.
This thing is really weird! With Cao Cao's understanding of Liu Bei, this person has the most important reputation, although he is a little hypocritical, he cares a lot about fame. It stands to reason that he will not take it lightly and compete with Liu Zhang for Xichuan. Even if you want to turn your face, you won't do it in such an environment at that time.
may choose an appropriate time for Liu Bei to raise troops to attack Yizhou.
But the assassination of Liu Zhang, and the assassination of Liu Zhang on his territory, was too cruel and did not conform to Liu Bei's style. Cao Cao would rather believe that Liu Bei had captured Liu Zhang in the camp, and then pretended to shed a few tears, and then persuaded Liu Zhang, and then logically took over from Liu Zhang.
Assassination?
It's really not Liu Bei's style!
Cao Cao was obviously puzzled by this.
But it cannot be denied that this is the best time to conquer Xichuan at this moment. If you miss this opportunity, if you want to seize Yizhou in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy. With Liu Bei's ability, the situation in Xichuan will definitely be stabilized, and at most half a year, there will be no more chaos in Xichuan. When the time comes, with the power of the entire Xichuan, even Cao Cao will feel quite tricky. This Liu Bei is really a difficult opponent.
"The more so!"
"The slave is here."
"Pass on the edict of orphans, and order your friends to return to Yedu as soon as possible."
"Whoa!"
Cao Cao quickly made up his mind and decided to conquer Xichuan.
But the candidates for this expedition to Xichuan still have to be carefully figured out. After thinking about it, Cao Cao decided that he still wanted Cao Peng to preside over the Battle of Xichuan. First of all, Cao Peng has a complete understanding of the situation in Xichuan.
In the letters of the past year or so, it can be seen that Cao Peng has been eyeing Xichuan all along.
At the same time, to fight Xichuan, we must have the northwest as a support.
Cao Peng is in the northwest and has a very special status. With him coming forward to integrate the resources of the Northwest, he can get twice the result with half the effort. Not to mention, the foundation of Hanzhong was arranged by Cao Peng, and it is really unreasonable not to let Cao Peng come back at this time. It's just that Cao Cao also knows that Cao Peng is still in the domestic city.
If you want him to return, I'm afraid it will take at least a month.
Cao Cao naturally would not spare this month in vain, he had to start arranging, mobilizing troops and horses, and preparing for war.
The edict to recall Cao Peng has been issued.
Cao Cao immediately ordered Xun Yu and others to come to discuss the specific plan.
"The battle of Xichuan is when the two roads are concurrent."
After Xun Yu heard about the Xichuan Rebellion, he didn't say a word, so he got up and suggested: "With the soldiers and horses all the way to Hanzhong, I'm afraid it's still a little weak. The king attacked from two directions, sending troops from Jingnan and Hanzhong......
Moreover, Liu Zhang's son, Liu Wei, is now in Brazil.
He still has a force in his hands, Zhang Ren Lengbud, all of whom are famous generals in Xichuan, and Bajun is too strict and strict, and he is the brave champion of the three armies, and his prestige is incomparable. With these people, it is enough to create some trouble for Liu Bei, but without the support of the king, I am afraid it will be difficult for long. Therefore, the king should try to contact him first, and then plot to send troops to Xichuan. In this way, the conquest of Xichuan has an internal response, and it can be captured more easily.
The new Wuhou is a great talent, and he can be the main general of the road.
The king's intention to make the new Marquis send troops from Hanzhong was a very appropriate choice.
But the Southern Route Army needs to plan carefully...... When there is a general in command, there will not be much of a problem.
The minister thought that the prince Cao Zhangyong was the champion of the three armies, and now he has been stationed in Jingnan for two years, and he is also very familiar with Bajun. He has the Daxingfu barbarian army in his hands, which can be called, and with the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou generals, it is enough to capture Ba County. If Bajun is lost, the door of Chengdu will be opened...... However, the mobilization of people and horses in Jingzhou still needs to be careful of Jiangdong Sun Quan, who is troubled by it. Therefore, Jingzhou also needs to strengthen its defense, and the navy has been more than three times since its reorganization. Although it has not yet met the requirements, it is enough to resist the Jiangdong soldiers and horses.
The minister suggested that Gan Ning, the governor of the naval army, be invited to capture the mouth of the three rivers and defend against the Eastern Wu naval army.
and asked Cao Ren, Yu Ban, and Zang Ba to act in Huainan to contain Sun Quan's soldiers and horses, so that he had no time to take care of Xichuan.
As for the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Changsha and Guiyang, you don't have to care.
As long as Wuling guards Deng Fan too much, Lingling guards Wei Yan too much, and drags Tai Shici, you can succeed......"
After Xun Yu finished speaking, everyone present nodded.
There is no doubt that in everyone's opinion, Xun Yu's words can be said to be exhaustive, and all the problems have been summarized.
And Cao Cao is also very pleased!
He was not happy about how clever Xun Yu's strategy was, but he was happy that Xun Yu was planning for him wholeheartedly.
To be honest, when Xun Yu came over, Cao Cao was still a little suspicious.
He was always worried that Xun Yu's refuge had another purpose. After all, Xun Yu has not been very satisfied with some of his policies before. Even when Cao Cao was king, everyone came to congratulate, but Xun Yu did not appear.
This made Cao Cao disappointed and sad.
I think that at the beginning, after the conquest of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was based in Dongjun.
Xun Yu was the first mastermind to take refuge in Cao Cao, and he could be regarded as doing his best for Cao Cao's great cause.
He recommended Guo Jia and other talents, and set Cao Cao's goals.
No wonder Cao Cao once said to people at that time that Xun Yu was his Zhang Zifang. It's just that with the continuous development of Cao Cao's career, especially after the return of the Han Emperor to the east, there was a rift between Xun Yu and Cao Cao.
Cao Cao has always hoped that he can create a good story with Xun Yu about the monarch and the minister.
But as the rift continued to expand, the relationship between the two changed unconsciously.
This time, Xun Yu offered advice, which made Cao Cao seem to have returned to the time when Xun Yu gave him advice when he was in Dongjun. Looking at Xun Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a smile on his face and nodded secretly.
If you are lonely, great things can be expected!
However, is it really appropriate to let Cao Zhang preside over the battle of Ba County?
Cao Zhang is only twenty-two years old this year, and he is afraid that he will lead the army alone so early......
"The name of Old Yan Yan has been mentioned by Xin Wuhou.
When Zhang Song went to Jingzhou, he heard that Xinwuhou attached great importance to Yan Yan, and there was a saying that 'if Yan Yan of Bajun is here, then Xichuan is solid'. Ziwen has indeed made some progress over the years. But if he wants to face off against Yan Yan, Lone is still a little worried, Ziwen is not Yan Yan's opponent, what does Wen Ruo think? β
Xun Yu suddenly laughed!
"That's why Ziwen came forward."
Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" β
"The minister is also because of the new Marquis of Wu, and Zhiba County is Yanyan.
When Yan Yan returned to Ba County, the minister invited someone to get to know Xichuan. This Yan Yan Naiba County was born in a strong country and is quite prestigious. He is good at war, and he is more familiar with the art of war...... If he is an enemy, Yan Yan takes advantage of the danger of Ba County, with the help of Zhang Ren Lengbud's people, and it is difficult to break through. But Yan Yan admired Xinwuhou a lot. The two often exchanged letters and had a very close relationship......
Yan Yan is a person with an arrogant temperament.
If you send an idler, I'm afraid you may not be valued by him.
But the world is different...... He has a teacher-student friendship with Xinwuhou, and he is also a brother, Yan Yan will also look at Xinwuhou's face, and he will not embarrass the world. If you can make a letter to the new Marquis Wu, you can't say that you can make the son of the world, and get twice the result with half the effort. If you change people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have an effect, and only when the son of the world comes out can he be competent. β
Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and nodded: "What Wen Ruo said is extremely true!
Let Ziwen command the army...... However, on the Jiangdong side, Deng Fan and Wei Yan alone may not be able to resist Tai Shici.
Sending Zidan to supervise the battle can also avoid accidents.
Also, order Zhoucang on Tanglin Island and Guangling to guard Pang De, and also act together, be sure to contain the main force of Sun Quan's soldiers and horses, and not let him reinforce Xichuan. The rest of the ministries also took action. After the return of Xinwuhou, he made his own arrangements. The money spent on grain and grass, Wen Ruo should make a charter as soon as possible! β
"Whoa!"
When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately intervened.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Cao Cao's order, Cao Wei's soldiers and horses were immediately mobilized.
Jia Xu was in Liangzhou, recruiting 50 military mansions and more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. At the same time, Deng Ji mobilized 30 soldiers and horses, about 20,000 people, to assemble in Hanyang. And Jingzhao Yin Xu Huang conquered 80,000 soldiers and was on standby at any time.
There was no large-scale mobilization of troops and horses in Youzhou and Caozhou.
However, in order to prevent Xianbei from moving, he still assembled and sent 30,000 troops to Zhangcheng County to prevent Kebi from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
Soldiers and horses in various places are frequently mobilized.
Far away in the domestic city of Goguryeo County, Cao Peng ushered in a group of guests.
"Mr. Wencheng is in danger this time, and he has worked hard."
In the Goguryeo Imperial Palace in the domestic city, Cao Peng raised his wine glass, walked to a wine table, and bowed, "Please sir, drink this cup full." β
Behind the wine case, there was a person sitting upright.
Looking at his age, he was in his early fifties, with an ugly face, but he was wearing a black robe.
Seeing Cao Peng toasting, he didn't dare to slack off, so he got up and drank it all.
"What virtue does Confucianism have, how can he be loved by his son?"
This man is none other than Li Ru.
With the surrender of the Buyeo State, the war in Liaodong has basically subsided.
Cao Peng's days suddenly became leisurely, accompanying Lu Lan and Da Qiao and others every day to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Da Qiao, half a year ago, officially married Cao Peng.
Things went very smoothly, just as Wu Cang persuaded in private: Madame can ignore herself, but she must also think about the son and the two girls. Mrs. Now that she has a home and can't return, is it possible that her son will be in the future, and she can't return to her roots? When a woman is away, she must always have a home. Xinwuhou is the same age as his wife, and he is a loving person, and the prince also admires Xinwuhou a lot.
In that case, why not go any further?
Whether it is Mrs. Yu, Yu Gongzi and the two girls, it is a happy event.
With the support of Xinwuhou behind him, why should his wife worry, he can't return to his hometown in the future? Please also ask Madame to think twice.
Wu Cang is a native of Jiangdong, and he is not a fellow villager with Mrs. Qiao.
But after all, they all belong to Jiangdong, and it is naturally very easy to communicate.
Wu Cang was ordered by Cao Peng to find out Mrs. Qiao's thoughts. After this back and forth, Mrs. Qiao was also moved. Later, I inquired about Sun Shao's tone and found that Sun Shao had no resistance to Cao Peng, so Mrs. Qiao was relieved. However, she begged Cao Peng not to make a big deal out of the crowd and quietly married into the Cao family...... Now, Mrs. Da Qiao has been pregnant for three months.
Cao Peng was in the domestic city, and he was quite happy.
It was at this time that Li Ru suddenly appeared in front of Cao Peng with a group of people......
"I assassinated Liu Zhang!"
Li Ru got straight to the point and said to Cao Peng: "Ru has completed the agreement with the son back then...... Now Goguryeo has died, and the Han Kingdom of the LΓΌ clan has been as stable as Mount Tai since then. Confucianism asked Gongzi to fulfill his promise and make Confucianism leave.
Confucianism is willing to stay in the Han Kingdom of the Lu family and become a rich man.
It's just that the dog is old, so there is no need for him to follow, just let him stay in the Central Plains and lead the horse and stirrup for the son. β
Li Ru was in Chengdu, married a three-room concubine, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
Now, he has achieved some fame and wants to retire to the mountains and forests.
Cao Peng naturally won't refuse, he wants to live in the Lu Han Kingdom? No problem! After Cao Peng invited Li Ru to a banquet, he let him settle down.
He didn't expect that Li Ru would use such a method to complete his mission.
In Li Ru's words: "The people of Xichuan are eroded, and it makes little sense to continue to stay...... And the big war is coming, and there is no need for me to preside over the overall situation. In this situation, it is meaningless for Liu Zhang to continue to live. β
When Li Ru said goodbye, he said to Cao Peng: "The prince should be ready, I am afraid that in these few days, the king will have an edict to ask the prince to return." (To be continued)
