Chapter 329 suffered a stroke after being defeated by Cao Cao, and wanted to hire a veteran to fight for merit

First of all, Cao Zhang lost Yanmen, retreated to Zhongshan, and Chen Bing was on the Great Wall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Cao Zhen said to him: "Ziwen, can you write a letter to report to your father?" ”

"Brother Zidan, I'll wait to recapture Yanmen. If you tell your father at this time, won't you be blamed by your father? Cao Zhang disagreed, and then said to Zhongshan's Taishou: "You will immediately post a list to recruit troops, and you will definitely send troops to recapture Yanmen!" ”

Zhongshan was too obedient to the promise, so he took his leave.

After several battles with the Han army, each time it was a failure, Cao Zhang was quite unconvinced, and he always wanted to take revenge. For more than half a month, the recruitment was not very smooth, and Cao Zhang was furious in the mansion.

On this day, Cao Zhen hurriedly entered and said, "Ziwen, the big thing is not good. Uncle Xiahou was defeated in Jinyang again, and now he is retreating to the area of Baima. ”

"What? Jinyang lost? Cao Zhang was shocked when he heard this. The loss of Jinyang means that there is no more land in the pass that belongs to his Cao family, and the entire land of the state will fall into the hands of the Han army in a few days.

"I just received a letter that Uncle Xiahou and Mr. Xun Yu retreated to Baima." Cao Zhenyan said.

"Come, prepare the horses. Brother Zidan, who wanted to go to Baima to meet Uncle Xiahou, handed over a brother to the city guards. Cao Zhang no longer had the intention of revenge when he was defeated in Yanmen this time, and a fear filled his heart.

"Good! Go, thou shalt go. Cao Zhen responded.

When Cao Zhang left, Cao Zhen immediately wrote a letter to send it to the letter capital overnight and presented it to Cao Cao. He is not like Cao Zhang, who has always been favored by Cao Cao, the failure of the attack on Hexi, the loss of Yanmen, and the loss of Jinyang, none of which he Cao Zhen can afford.

A few days later, in the palace of the prime minister of Qi, Cao Cao was discussing with Ju Yi, Cao Hong, Cheng Yu, Xu You, Fu Zhu and others how to unite Eastern Wu to resist Shu Han, when suddenly a front-line war report came.

Cao Cao's face changed greatly when he saw it.

Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's face was wrong, and asked cautiously: "Lord, how is the war in Bingzhou?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and handed the battle report in his hand to Cheng Yu: "Look at it yourself!" ”

Cheng Yu took a look, and suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was suddenly cold. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Lu Bu all died, first losing Yanmen and then Jinyang. He couldn't help but say: "In this way, only Shangdang County is still in my hands, won't it become a lonely city?" The army on the expedition was almost lost, and the northern front was so lost? ”

How can the lonely city be defended? But he didn't know that the battle report of the defeat of the party was also on the way......

Cao Cao said: "Fortunately, the wolf soldiers under Ziwen's command are still alive, and the strength is still there!" General Ju, please lead your army to set off north to Zhongshan immediately, and be sure to block the enemy to the west of the Great Wall! ”

Ju Yi has been integrated into Cao Cao's camp, although he is a little dissatisfied with Cao Cao in his heart, but the whole dynasty is full of people's siblings, what can he do if he doesn't follow his words? Seeing that Cao Cao's previous troops were all soldiers and horses under Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Lu Bu, and the elite brought by Xiahoudun was protected by Xun Yu, he knew that Cao Cao's move was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and the army of the Northern Expedition was completely lost, and I was afraid that Lu Bu, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang would be unable to blame him.

Cao Cao saw that Ju Yi bowed his head and did not respond to his order, so he said again: "General Ju! General Ju! ”

At this time, Ju Yi hurriedly raised his head and replied, "Ah! Prime minister! ……”

"Why did General Ju lose his mind?" Cao Cao glared and asked.

"This? When the last general heard about this, he was worried about General Lu and the others...... "Ju Yi hurriedly defended."

Cao Cao softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, please ask the general to lead the army under your command to set off north to Zhongshan immediately, and be sure to block the enemy west of the Great Wall!" I hope the general will attack quickly! ”

Ju Yi hurriedly got up and responded, "Oh! With that, he took his leave.

Although all the other forces in front of the little emperor Yuan Qian were eliminated this time, Cao Cao was also quite worried about the loss of two counties in a row on the northern front, so he sent Ju Yi, who had always been obedient to his old Yuan family, to lead troops to resist the Han army.

This night also became Cao Cao's sleepless night.

Cao Cao stood under the cool breeze of late spring, looking at the southeast from afar, as if he had seen through thousands of miles at a glance, and directly saw Xu Du thousands of miles away.

Ay! Once upon a time, he went from a small official who worried about the country and the people, and was promoted several times to resist the Yellow Turban, helped He Jin to punish the internal servants, courted Dong Zhuoqin's royal family, coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and raised a large army to destroy Yuan Shu, these are all brilliant achievements! But why, why is that person in everything? In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he alone won the attention of the entire court; When He Jin, he assisted Liu Yan to get the land of Qinzhou; To deal with Dong Zhuo, he also occupied the front line of Chang'an in one fell swoop, inherited Liu Yan's Qinzhou, and cracked Liangzhou, making his power suddenly become the head of the princes, much stronger than Yuan Shao in Hebei; When a certain person held the Son of Heaven hostage, he ignored it, but he made the information of a certain person clear; Until the crusade against Yuan Shu, he actually buried the killing machine and chased a certain move to Yuan Shao's territory......

Letting the cold wind and rain hit his body, Cao Cao didn't seem to feel it at all. No one around him dared to approach this angry fellow, not even his relatives!

In this way, he stood outside all night.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, a guard reported outside: "Qi Yu Prime Minister, report on the battle of the party." ”

When he first heard this, Cao Cao woke up from his troubles. Only this night, almost all of his beard and hair turned white.

He said in a deep voice, "Take it in!" ”

At this time, a maid brought a battle report.

Cao Cao opened the letter and looked at it.

After looking at it for a long time, he said, "Ahhh With a bang, he fainted. The maids and servants on the side came up one after another to rescue them.

Cheng Yu, Xu You, Cao Hong and others rushed to hear the news.

Everyone waited in Cao Cao's house, knowing that Lang Zhong came out of it. Cheng Yu stepped forward and asked, "How is the prime minister?" ”

Lang Zhong said: "The prime minister was overworked, he didn't sleep last night, and he was stimulated, so he suffered a cold stroke. If you are fine, please don't disturb the Prime Minister too much for the time being! ”

Cheng Yu then asked everyone to wait outside before pushing the door and going in to see Cao Cao.

"Lord, how do you feel?" Cheng Yu came to Cao Cao's bed and asked.

Cao Cao had just woken up, his words were not good, his eyes were dull, and he said: "Zhongde, Miaocai has also lost the party and retreated to Huguan!" ”

Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly comforted Cao Cao and said: "Lord, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Now Miaocai is holding the Huguan, and the Han army is difficult to attack! Although the land of the annex state entered the Han Dynasty, our army can also rely on the Great Wall and Taihang Mountain to defend it! The lord is not in good health, so he has to rest more for the time being, and there are subordinates on the battlefield. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhongde, what should I do next?" ”

"My lord, go to Soochow and ally with Sun Ce." Cheng Yu said.

"Alright! Go down and arrange it! Cao Cao then sent him down and began to prepare to unite Sun Wu against Shu Han.

Besides, Liu Shan captured Shangdang, and instead of Chen Bing attacking Huguan, he sent a letter to Kyoto, detailing Zhang Bao's seizure of women, and asking the Son of Heaven for permission.

When Emperor Hongwu was young, he heard about the wonderful thing of the fifth uncle, and he didn't want to see his righteous brother have such a wonderful thing today, so he rushed to the Qianning Palace to report to the Emperor Liu Qian.

After listening to Emperor Hongwu's speech, Liu Qian also laughed, and said bluntly: "If there is a father, there must be a son!" I secretly thought in my heart that Zhang Fei, the cloud of history, married the daughter of Xiahoudun, and he changed history, so that he accepted Lejin's sister; Now Zhang Bao, the son born to his eldest wife, actually had a dramatic marriage with Xiahou Yuan's daughter. It seems that fate has brought the two families together.

"Dare to ask my father, how should this matter be handled?" Emperor Hongwu hurriedly asked.

"The matter of rejuvenating the country is important, we should stop using troops against the Yuan family and issue a letter of appointment for him to seek marriage! However, our army has taken and merged the state, and it has been a labor army for a long time. Leveling the world is not a temporary thing, and it is the best policy to have a relaxed party. The Ru Ming Dynasty issued a holy decree, ordering all the Yongzhou army to enter the state, Chen Bing, Yanmen, Shangdang and other places, to prevent the Cao army from Huguan and Zhongshan and other places from attacking. Liu Qian thought for a moment and said, "Today, Xue Rensheng and Han Guansheng are all over half a hundred years old, and they should be transferred back to Kyoto for retirement." As for the substitute, you have already decided in your heart, so let it go! ”

"Thank you for your father's grace! If the father has nothing else to do, the son will accompany the mother in the harem! "Emperor Hongwu has always been filial, and every two days he has to go to Qianning Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager Zhang.

The next day, the Son of Heaven issued a holy decree: "Prime Minister Zuo Cheng led his troops to capture the state and won a complete victory." However, after months of war, the army is exhausted, and it is necessary to spread grace and serve the people diligently. Therefore, I thought that I should collect the troops and return to the court. In addition, the Metropolitan Governor Xue Ji was very old and was transferred back to the Kyoto Academy of Letters and Martial Arts to teach, which was inconvenient; Ma Chao, the deputy governor of the capital, was promoted to the governor of the capital, and led the army of the Yongzhou Military Region to move to Bingzhou to guard Yanmen and go to the front line of the party. In addition to the general Xu Yi of Zhengnan and Jiang Wei, the general of Zhennan, they were the deputy governors of the Bingzhou Military Region, and assisted Ma Chao in guarding Yanmen and the front line of the party. Zhang Liao, the governor of Yuzhou, and Han Yue, the deputy governor of Yuzhou, returned to Kyoto to teach, and their fortunes remained unchanged; Zhang Xiu, the former deputy governor of Yongzhou, was sent to replace Zhang Liao, except for the general of Zhengbei and the general of Zhenbei, Xu Hong, as the deputy governor to replace Han Yue. moved to Jingzhou Metropolitan Governor Xu Ding and Gan Ning returned to Beijing and entered the Staff Office of the Marshal's Mansion, and their fortunes remained unchanged; In addition to Huang Xu, the deputy governor of Jiaozhou, as the governor of Jingzhou, Guan Ping, the general of Zhengxi, and Huang Yan, the general of Zhenxi, as the deputy governor of Jingzhou, took over the responsibilities of Xu Ding and Gan Ning. In addition to Liu Shan, the general of Zhengdong, and Xu Yang, the general of Zhendong, he was the deputy governor of Jiaozhou and took over the appointment of Huang Xu. As a result, all military regions have been replaced by the younger generation, and only Qin Liang is still guarded by the old generals Xu Huang and Zang Ba.

After the holy decree was transmitted, Zhuge Liang received the decree and led the army back to Beijing. The Son of Heaven commended his power and crowned his martial townsmen; Reward the three armies, make Guan Ping and others boast about the officials for three days, and then go to their respective posts.

Guan Yu saw his eldest son Guan Suo, and under the auspices of Liu Qian, under the witness of Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun and others, a ceremony to recognize his ancestors was held.

Next, Liu Qian summoned Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun and others to discuss the matter of issuing a letter of appointment to Cao Cao.

Zhuge Liang came uninvited, entered Qianning Palace, and after worshipping everyone, he said: "Liang is uninvited, and I hope that the Taishang and the princes are not strange!" ”

Liu Qian naturally knew that this think tank must have come for Zhang Bao's business, so he said: "Kong Ming is for Bao'er's business? ”

"Too wise." Zhuge Liang said, "This matter is related to the affairs of the two countries, and it should not be classified as a family matter." Therefore, the old minister came uninvited! ”

Zhang Fei listened, okay! My son's marriage to a wife has become a state affair! Damn, you bull-nosed veteran!

He wanted to think about it, but he didn't dare to be angry! After all, the eldest brother is on the side, and his son is more powerful than himself, so he actually found Xiahou Yuan's daughter!

"I don't know if Kong Ming thinks the letter of appointment will be under or not?" Guan Yu squinted Dan Feng's eyes and asked.

"Back to King Qin, of course this letter of appointment must be issued! And the person who writes the book should be a member of the top three grades for me! Now that Cao Cao was defeated, he would definitely send people to Eastern Wu to unite. Sun Cao's alliance is not conducive to the recovery of our dynasty! If I send a dowry to Cao Cao at this time, how can Sun Ce believe in Cao Cao's alliance? Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Qian was very happy when he heard this. looked at the brothers around him, and saw that everyone was laughing, so he said: "What Kong Ming said is very good! Tomorrow, you will present it to the emperor, and you will ask for this matter! ”

"Xie Taishang! If there is nothing else to do, the old minister will retire! Zhuge Liang then resigned.

The next day, Zhuge Liang invited the Son of Heaven in the court. The Son of Heaven also thought that this trip should be made, so he asked the ministers: "I don't know which Aiqing is willing to take Zhang Bao here for Hu Ben Zhonglang?" ”

Zhang Bao came back this time and was named the general of the tiger ben.

Zhang Liaoyan, an old general who had just been transferred back to Beijing to take up an idle post, said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go!" ”

Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Xu Rong, Xu Ding, Gan Ning, Xue Ji, and Han Yue saw that Zhang Liao had taken the lead, and they also fought with each other.

The Son of Heaven had a headache about the generals' achievements, and suddenly his eyes rolled, showing a rather worried look, and said: "Several old generals, what if Cao Cao detains you or takes the opportunity to kill you?" ”

Huang Zhongyan said: "The eldest husband was born, how could he ever be afraid of death? ”

Xue Ji has been a wise general for many years, looking at the expression of the Son of Heaven, he suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to make a certain path?" ”

The Son of Heaven nodded, shook his head again, and said, "You can't go all the way, but you can't go alone." ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, who is going, and who can't go?" ”

"Those who compete should not go, and those who are good should not go." The Son of Heaven said, "General Huang, General Xu, General Yan, and General Xu are too old to be in this line." ”

Xue Ji, Han Yue, Gan Ning, and Zhang Liao hurriedly thanked them. When Huang Zhong and the other four heard this, where were they willing to give up, they all kowtowed and knelt down, and said: "The old ministers and others can fight!" I would like to wait with him to try it! ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he smiled and said, "I didn't say that you are not as good as the four of them. Wait and see, as I say, 'The strong should not go, and the victorious should not go.'" But so? ”

When the four of them heard this, they were fooled by the emperor!
