Regarding Li Ru's retreat, from the bottom of his heart, Cao Peng was not too reluctant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he now has Pang Tong Fazheng, he is a rare person in the Three Kingdoms. But in comparison, compared with Li Ru, the two still have less experience. Maybe their ability is indeed higher than Li Ru. But in terms of experience, there are some deficiencies after all. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the second year of the first peace...... Li Ru strategized for Dong Zhuo, from a good family in the northwest, a local tyrant and a contemptible husband in the eyes of the world, and became a key figure in the fate of the Han family. During this period, Li Ru definitely contributed a lot, and even made great contributions.

In the early stage of Dong Zhuo's rise, Li Ru almost single-handedly planned for him.

It's a pity that in the end, as Dong Zhuo's status became higher and higher, even if Li Ru was his son-in-law, he gradually became estranged, and even a little wary.

Later generations once said that if Dong Zhuo went to Yiwu, he would take Li Ru with him.

Then Wang Yun's serial plan is very likely to end in failure. It was precisely Li Ru who first sensed Lu Bu's disobedience and persuaded Dong Zhuo to give up Diao Chan in order to further win over Lu Bu. But Dong Zhuo did not agree, and because of this, he had a grudge against Li Ru and left Li Ru in Chang'an City.

Regarding the gap between Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, the most obvious example is that when Dong Zhuo happily returned to Chang'an and was about to accept the Chan concession, Li Ru did not know anything in advance. The mastermind didn't know about such a big thing, which shows that Dong Zhuo had completely abandoned Li Ru at that time, and even lost his trust.

Since he returned to Cao Peng, Li Ru rarely gave advice.

But every time he gives advice, he can make Cao Peng turn evil into good fortune......

As for later, presiding over the overall situation of Xichuan, Li Ru can be said to have tried his best, causing chaos in the entire Yizhou.

"Sir, who will escort Peng when he leaves?"

Cao Peng's words are not polite.

Although Li Ru didn't give him too many ideas on the surface, he gave a clear direction.

For example, Li Ru once advised him, regardless of whether Cao Cao promoted or demoted him, don't think too much, just do what he is told. This may not sound like much, but it has laid a solid foundation for Cao Peng in Cao Cao's mind. He is only loyal to Cao Cao, and the rest of the people are not to be worried...... This is also an important reason why Cao Cao tolerated no matter how Cao Peng messed around later. Because Cao Cao knew that Cao Peng was a sharp sword in his hand, and he only obeyed him, this was enough to reassure Cao Cao.

Li Ru smiled!

"Why should Childe be sad?

With the status of the son today, in fact, few people can shake it.

The king does not need to worry about the importance of the son, the son only needs to remember one thing now, the water is full and overflowing, and it is too much. In this Xichuan Rebellion, the king will definitely reactivate Gongzi, but Gongzi must be careful, this battle must not advance too fast, let alone take the lead in Chengdu, otherwise there will be disaster. ”

The implication is that Cao Peng wants to grind foreign workers.

At first, Cao Peng was still puzzled.

However, after Li Ru left, he thought about it carefully, but found that this sentence was full of deep meaning.

He has done enough, big enough......

Now that the official worships the new Wuhou, there is not much room for promotion. This is still the consequence of Cao Cao's deliberate suppression, otherwise Cao Peng would at least be ranked as the third duke. At the age of 30, he ranks as the third public, which is rare since ancient times. These people often do not die well. Especially when changing dynasties, they often become the first batch of unjust ghosts.

Cause?

It's easy!

The merit is high and the Lord is rewarded.

If it really comes to this point, the only way to rebel is to seek rebellion for the courtiers, and to be jealous for the monarch.

The most obvious example is that in the last years of Zhenguan, Li Shiji was demoted to the border county by Li Shimin. It stands to reason that Li Shiji has not committed any crimes, why did Li Shimin belittle him? is because Li Shiji's contribution is too great, and Li Shimin's health is not as good as day by day. Li Shimin said to the people around him: I belittled him today just for the promotion of pheasant slaves in the future. In this way, Li Ji will be grateful to the pheasant slave.

And the pheasant slave doesn't have to worry about Li Shiji's bad intentions.

If I continue to promote him now, how shall I reward the pheasant slave when he ascends the throne?

Li Shimin knows this truth, and Li Shiji also understands it.

Now Li Ru's words to Cao Peng suddenly made Cao Peng wake up.

The recent days have been too leisurely. So much so that Cao Peng gradually lost his vigilance.

Li Ru's words were tantamount to an initiation, which made Cao Peng re-vigilant.

Just when Li Ru left the domestic city, a few days later, Cao Cao sent his regular servant Yue to the domestic city and ordered Cao Peng to rush to Yedu immediately.

At the same time, Cao Cao dismissed Cao Peng as the protector of the five armies and replaced him with Zhang Liao.

Bai Pang was in charge of the servants, all of them protected the eunuchs, and continued to be responsible for the implementation of the government soldiers.

After Cao Peng received the order, he did not hesitate.

He first arranged the Yue generals, and then immediately gathered all the generals and prepared to rush to the domestic city.

Before leaving the domestic city, Cao Peng naturally had to fight to the death with Lu Lan again. **Later, he said softly: "Lingqi, I will return to the Central Plains this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to meet you again in a short period of time."

Originally, I should have brought you and Nian'er back together, but now, the time is not ripe.

But in the future, I will always take you and Nian'er to my side and reunite as a family. But in this way, you are afraid that you will lose a lot of things. I wonder if you can give up the position of Queen Luhan now? ”

Lu Lan was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes widened suddenly.

"Ah Fu, what do you mean ......?"

"Ban the name of Lu Han and attach it to the imperial court.

From then on, Lü Han was under the rule of Cao Wei...... When the time comes, I will try to bring your mother and son together, and the family will be reunited from now on. You must know that you have lived in Luhan for a long time, and as far as the imperial court is concerned, you have always been a fanbang, and it is difficult to feel at ease. ”

Lu Lan was stunned!

She hesitated for a long time and snuggled in Cao Peng's arms, "If it's just me, it's not a big deal to give up this throne." But this Lu Han has indeed condensed the efforts of countless people. General Gao and General Cao abandoned their homes and businesses for Lu Han, and stayed away from the Central Plains...... I am not the Lord in this matter, but I have to consult with them. ”

Cao Peng knew that Lu Lan was not shirking.

nodded immediately and said softly: "You don't have to rush to deal with this matter."

Test everyone's tone first, and then make a claim. I guess this can't be done in a short period of time, so it's best to be on the safe side. I will let Zishan and Shiyuan try my best to make it easier for you. Before I nod your head, you must not act rashly, lest the rumors leak and ruin the big thing. ”

Lu Lan responded obediently, curled up in Cao Peng's arms, and was silent for a long time......

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Zhang was assassinated, causing turmoil in Bashu.

Under the protection of Zhang Ren and others, Liu Wei retreated to Brazil and vowed to fight Liu Bei to the death. After Liu Bei decisively captured Chengdu, he ordered Zhuge Liang, who stayed in Nanzhong, to lead his troops and go straight to Chengdu. The skin of his face has been torn, which also makes Liu Bei have no way out. No matter who Liu Zhang died at, he had no reason to give up Chengdu. Originally, Liu Bei coveted Xichuan, but now that Liu Zhang is dead, he no longer has any worries. After capturing Chengdu, Liu Bei quickly pacified the people and stabilized the situation in Chengdu.

Wu Yi, Fei Guan and others raised their hands to welcome Liu Bei's arrival.

And Wu Yi came forward, saying that he had surrendered Wu Lan, the guard of Jiameng Pass, and ordered Zhang Fei to take over Jiameng Pass to prevent Cao Jun's sneak attack.

Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered Xiang Lang to be stationed in Mianzhu, and the general Chen Dao to sit in Fuling Pass to resist the attack of Zhang Ren and others. More than ten days later, Zhuge Liang led his troops to Chengdu, accompanied by Meng Huoyonghong, a great man in Nanzhong, and the owner of the 36th cave in Nanzhong to participate in the battle. For this day, Liu Bei hibernated in Nanzhong for nearly three years.

I have to say that Liu Bei does have the means.

After arriving in Nanzhong, he learned the previous lesson, recruited Yonghong, and subdued Meng Huo, and through Meng Huo, he completely controlled the 36th hole of Nanzhong. In the past three years, he has frequently asked Liu Zhang for heavy food and salary, to put it bluntly, in order to buy the barbarians in Nanzhong. Now, more than 60,000 barbarian soldiers have been gathered in the 36th Cave to help in the battle, which has also alleviated the weakness of Liu Bei's empty army to a large extent.

In November of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was in Chengdu and led himself as the king of Hanzhong.

In December, Sun Quan was proclaimed king in Jiankang, called King Wu.

When Cao Cao learned about it, he was furious.

"What virtue does the big-eared thief have to dare to be king?"

Immediately, Cao Cao worshiped Cao Peng, the Marquis of Xinwu, as the general of the expedition to the west, and the envoy held the festival and supervised the southwest.

The counties in the northwest are all under Cao Peng's dispatch.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered the general of Zhennan and Cao Zhang, the governor of Daxingfu, to march westward and go straight to Ba County.

For a time, in the land of Bashu, the war resumed.

The impact of Liu Zhang's assassination had not yet been eliminated, and Cao's army had begun to mobilize and slowly approached Xichuan.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little flustered.

Even if he had been prepared for a long time, when he heard about Cao Cao's actions, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel great pressure.

"Military advisor, now Cao Cao is advancing in two ways, how should it be?"

Zhuge Liang looked extremely relaxed and did not panic at all.

"Cao Zhang, the yellow-mouthed boy, don't worry.

The lord can make Xiang Tiao garrison in the city, echoing with Uncle Zhiyao. Cao Zhang's youth is young and vigorous, and if he can't attack for a long time, he will inevitably be discouraged, and he will retreat; It's that Cao Peng, Fang is the trouble of the lord's henchmen. This man is cunning and scheming. Although he has been far away from the northwest for two years, his prestige in Liangzhou is indeed incomparable.

Hanzhong guards Shi Tao too much, and Liang is out of the Water Mirror Villa.

Although this person is not good at military affairs, he should not be underestimated...... He has been operating in Hanzhong for two years and has extremely deep roots. After Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, although he stopped fighting, he had been planning and preparing to take Xichuan.

Now Cao's army is in Xichuan, and there is plenty of grain and grass.

Nearly one million tons of grain were stored in Micang Mountain, which was enough for an army of 100,000 to not worry about food and salary within two years.

If Cao Peng arrives, he will inevitably attack with all his might. At that time, although Jia Meng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist. Liang decided to go to Jiameng Pass and refused to allow Cao Peng to leave the pass. The lord should stabilize the situation as soon as possible. The longer the time, the weaker Cao's army will inevitably be...... Sun Quan will never sit idly by, and will inevitably send troops to help.

In this way, Cao's army will retreat, and the lord will be able to sit firmly in Chengdu, and then slowly figure it out. ”

Zhuge Liang's plan is also in line with Liu Bei's intentions.

Don't look at Xichuan's chaos over the years, but it still left Liu Bei with a lot of family foundation. Chengdu Treasury House, hundreds of thousands of grains in storage. At that time, Zhang Ren and others hurriedly withdrew, and they were not completely destroyed, so Liu Bei was cheaper.

Xichuan, known as the land of abundance, is rich in products and has plenty of grain and grass.

Even if Zhang Ren burned the warehouse west of Fushui, it would not be possible to destroy it all after all. Huang Quan, Liu Ba, and Zheng Du are indeed influential, but Fei Guan and Wu Yi's gang also have their own team, leaving a wealth of wealth for Liu Bei. In a short period of time, Liu Bei really doesn't need to worry about grain, grass and other materials.

The first thing he needs to do is to stabilize the situation.

As long as the situation stabilizes, there will be room for manoeuvre......

However, Liu Bei still had some concerns about Zhuge Liang going to Jiameng Pass to supervise the battle.

"The military advisor wants to go to Jiameng Pass, and he has no objection.

However, if an accident happens, who will Lone consult with? ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said: "At this time, it is an excellent time for the Lord to take care of the Xichuan scholars.

You can ask Fei Guan about internal affairs, and you can ask Wu Yi about foreign affairs.

If there is any undecided, you can send someone to Jiameng Pass...... In Chengdu, it can be taken over by the three generals, and Liang only needs to lead Meng Huo, Yang Feng and others. ”

For Zhuge Liang, he has never been convinced by Cao Peng.

has suffered several defeats, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, it is just that Cao Peng's strength is too strong, not Cao Peng's strategy.

In his heart, Zhuge Liang has always hoped to fight with Cao Peng.

Now that the opportunity comes, Zhuge Liang will not let it go. After discussing with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang led his troops and rushed to Jiameng Pass.

At this time, Cao Pengfang arrived in Lintao and was preparing to march into Hanzhong.

Cao Peng's trip was indeed a big move.

Except for Pang Tong, Xiang Pet and Ma Yan, who stayed in Zhuo County, the rest of the Duhu Mansion and others all walked with Cao Peng.

In addition, Cao Peng also transferred Huang Zhong from Hexi County.

At his suggestion, the Taishou of Hexi County was taken by Wu Ban. In contrast, there is still a big gap between Wu Ban and his predecessors, regardless of ability or prestige, it is not enough to take on the post of Hexi Taishou.

But Wu Ban has an advantage that no one can match.

He was a retainer of Cao's family, as early as the beginning of Jian'an, he attached Deng Ji, and followed Deng Ji to the north and south of the river, from Haixi to Bingzhou. In a flash, it has been more than fifteen years, and Wu Ban's loyalty to the Cao family and the Deng family is rarely compared. has been following Deng Ji in obscurity, although his reputation is not obvious, but he is highly valued.

This time, there was a vacancy in Hexi County, and Deng Ji recommended Wu Ban.

Cao Peng also had a very good impression of Wu Ban, so he agreed......

After Wu Ban arrived in Hexi, he didn't need to have too outstanding ability. Bu Qi, Pang Tong and Huang Zhong have laid a solid foundation for him. Hexi County is not the kind of hardship and danger that it was at the beginning, and it only needs Xiao Gui Cao to sit firmly in his seat. Besides, there is now a Zhuge in Hexi County who is in charge of daily affairs. So after Wu Ban arrived in Hexi County, he really wouldn't have much pressure.

Cao Peng rested in Yedu for a month, and transferred Huang Zhong and Han Dehui to one place.

There were 3,000 elite soldiers, still commanded by Zhao Yun, and then settled down with his family, and then led Fazheng Guo Huai, Deng Ai, Sun Shao, Xu Gai, Zhang Hu and others, and arrived in Lintao.

As soon as he arrived in Lintao, he got the news that Zhuge Liang took over the defense of Jiamengguan.

Fa Zheng's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted: "It's not good, Zidu is resting!" ”
