Chapter 857: Cao Ren's Death
Shangyong City.
A ray of early morning light reflected on the city like gold, but it did not make people feel a trace of warmth, but a cold and cold breath shrouded it.
This cold breath is the breath of war.
The big war was together, and the blood was flowing.
Many people in the city can clearly feel the breath of war, and the confrontation between the Wu army and the Wei army has now reached a boundary, and the war has begun.
Correct!
On this day, the gate of the West City Gate suddenly opened, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wu army, under the leadership of the main general Zhao Zilong, suddenly came out, and the momentum was indomitable and unmatched.
"Where is Zhang He?"
Zhao Yun walked in the forefront, white horse and silver spear, heroic posture, out of the moat, he suddenly raised his spear, pointed at the camp in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"Zhao Zilong, you went out of the city today, but you want to surrender?"
Zhang He, the chief general of the Wei army, had already lined up and waited, he rode out of his horse, facing Zhao Yun, and shouted: "If you put down your weapons and dismount and surrender, I will spare my life!" ”
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
The soldiers of the Wei army formed a military formation, the formation was extremely strong, and when they heard the words of the main general, they couldn't help but chant one by one, and quickly formed a high morale.
"Haha, surrender? What a joke! Zhao Yun laughed, turned his horse, shouted at his soldiers and asked, "Great Wu Erlang, are you waiting for a terrible death?" ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wu army were magnificent, shouting in unison, responding to Zhao Yun's invincible momentum, and the morale condensed bit by bit, and swelled up more and more.
"Okay, today. A certain family will live and die with you, fight against the water, come and bring Cao Ren with you! Zhao Yun speared horizontally.
"General, Wei thief Cao Ren is here!"
Ling led more than a dozen personal soldiers, and Cao Ren, the general of the Wei Dynasty, appeared in front of the two armies.
"Zhao Zilong. What are you doing? Cao Ren was not struggling, his eyes were staring at Zhao Yun fiercely.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhao Yun smiled coldly, and pointed his spear at Zhang He: "Zhang He, he is the bargaining chip in my hand, if you give way, I will release people, but if you can't retreat thirty miles today, I will kill him and the two armies in front of the formation, and sacrifice my Great Wu Army Banner!" ”
"You dare?" Zhang He was furious. Dumbfounded.
"I dare!"
Zhao Yun replied very strongly, and his voice was accompanied by wisps of anger, and he went out, and the entire battlefield, the officers and soldiers of Wu and Wei, could hear it clearly.
"All the sons and daughters of the Great Wei can die on the battlefield for the Great Wei, and the sons and daughters will step forward. Array! ”
Zhang He's answer to him was also very tough, without the slightest intention of retreating. On the contrary, the military formation formed by the soldiers under his command approached step by step.
"Zhang He, you're crazy!" The deputy general, Wei Duan, was a little panicked.
"General Wei, if you mess with my army's heart, I will cut you off the flag!" The weapon in Zhang He's hand was raised, and Xiao said with a killing.
He knew very well that he could not take a single step back. Even if he took a step back, it was not to give way, it was suicide, since Zhao Yun did not choose to retreat from the army, he planned to fight to the death.
To the point of fighting to the death. It is to destroy the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.
The battle between the two armies lies in a morale, if he retreats half a step, he has already lost the qualification to resist, and in the end he will only be directly slaughtered by Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses.
A touch of fear appeared in Wei Duan's pupils, his body trembled slightly, Zhang He's murderous aura was clear, he knew that if he spoke again, Zhang He would really kill him to sacrifice the flag.
At this moment, Cao Ren, who was under Ling Tong's butcher's knife, had wide eyes, staring at Zhang He not far away, not only because he had the integrity to sacrifice for Cao Wei in his heart, but he also felt a little resentful of Zhang He at this moment.
"Haha, General Cao, it seems that they don't care about your life very much, so don't blame a certain family for being ruthless!" Zhao Yun sighed, Zhang He was still very sophisticated, and he also understood his thoughts, in desperation, there was only a fight to the death, he raised his spear and drank coldly: "Prepare to ......"
"Zhao Yun, if you dare to behead him, I, Zhang He, swore before the two armies that I would sacrifice his soul with the blood of tens of thousands of Wu soldiers and soldiers, and never let go of one, and kill them all!"
Zhang He's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and in front of the officers and soldiers of the two armies, he roared and roared, word by word, extremely resolute.
You can't retreat, you can only show your heart in this way.
"Haha, that's good, then I'll wait and see, chop!" Zhao Yun was fearless and drank coldly.
"Slash!"
Ling Tong personally raised the butcher's knife and slashed down, blood splattered three feet, and a head rolled down.
A generation of famous generals of Cao Wei fell here.
Zhao Yun acted like a tiger with a drum, personally raised a golden dragon battle flag, and then used Cao Ren's blood to boost morale: "Sons, today I will use his Cao clan's blood to commemorate my Dawu's battle flag, the battle flag is invincible, and it is !!!! ”
He has sufficient troops, not to break through, but to completely annihilate Zhang He.
"Forward!"
"Forward!"
The blood of the soldiers of the Wu army was boiling at this moment, and they were fearless and began to charge.
"General Cao Ren is dead, our sins are unforgivable, Ruoer and others don't want to be condemned by His Majesty, now they can only kill the enemy, with the blood of his Zhao Zilong, to pay tribute to the soul of my Great Wei martyrs, kill!"
Zhang He looked at Cao Ren's head rolling in the distance, and at this moment he was also forced into a desperate situation, taking the lead, with murderous intent.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Wei army knew very well in their hearts that as soon as Cao Ren died, they had no way to retreat, and only by taking Zhao Yun could they get away with the crime, and now they could only kill the enemy desperately.
The two armies collided, and a great war broke out......
——————————————————————
Three days later.
Luoyang City, Shangyang Palace, Qingxin Palace.
In the main hall, all the ministers bowed their heads, the atmosphere was like ice, and the tall body of Emperor Cao Cao of Wei stood in front of a sand table, his eyes were gloomy, his expression was iron-blue, and his body exuded a thick chill.
"Your Majesty, Zhang He's disregard for General Cao Ren's life is so disregardive, Weichen thinks that he should be punished!" Cao Chun, the governor of the tiger and leopard riding capital, knelt down on his knees, his eyes were red, and said word by word.
Cao Ren is his brother.
Cao Ren was beheaded by Zhao Yun and the news came back before the two armies. The generals of the entire Cao and Xiahou families were furious, and they couldn't wait to eat Zhao Yun raw.
At the same time, he also hated Zhang He.
Because Zhang He's troops did not retreat, Cao Ren would be killed, so they even resented Zhang He, the Hebei general who had just returned to Shun.
"Your Majesty, the environment at that time, the momentum of tens of thousands of soldiers represented by Zhang He. How could he flinch! ”
Tian Feng stood up and retorted in a deep voice.
"Tian Yuanhao, do you mean that my brother should be beheaded before the two armies?" When Cao Chun heard this, he widened his eyes as if he could devour people, and stared at Tian Feng deadly.
"Cao Dudu, Tian didn't mean this, Tian meant that there was a reason for this matter, and the two armies clashed. Morale is the first, the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers, he Zhang He can't lose the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command because of the selfishness of one person, and he can't give up Hanzhong, the importance of Hanzhong to the Great Wei is well known, with his environment at that time. He did nothing wrong! ”
Tian Feng sighed, with some bitter analysis.
If it's a change for him. or the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, it is impossible to withdraw at that juncture, because they are all battlefield generals and understand the importance of morale on the battlefield.
It's just that Cao Ren is indeed dead, and the death is tragic, and the generals of the Cao Xiahou department want to find someone to vent. can only be Zhang He, the general.
"Where is Zixiao's body?" After half a ring, Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked lightly.
"Your Majesty, General Cao Ren's body will arrive in Luoyang City tomorrow!"
A eunuch whispered.
"Where is the prince?" Cao Cao thought about it and shouted.
"Erchen is here!" Cao Ang stepped forward.
"You set out in person. Go now, meet him along the road, on behalf of me, welcome Zixiao home a hundred miles away, and I will personally greet him at the city gate tomorrow! ”
Cao Cao's voice was very calm, so calm that the temperature in the hall dropped by three points.
Cao Ren, his brother, has been following him for decades.
Since he was young, Cao Ren and Cao Hong have been more by his side, starting from the Yellow Turban Army to fight on the battlefield, never giving up, how painful his heart is, he himself understands.
"No!"
Cao Ang nodded solemnly, and then immediately walked out of the main hall, and immediately summoned the guards of the East Palace, and after an hour, thousands of cavalry went out of the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, please mourn!"
In the main hall, there was some coldness, and Xi Zhi took a step forward and said comfortingly: "General Cao Ren's matter was an accident, Zhang He didn't do anything wrong, no one would have thought that Zhao Zilong would be so ruthless!" ”
"When the two armies are fighting, there is never anything ruthless or ruthless, only victory and defeat!"
When Cao Cao heard this, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a cold voice: "The battle of Wei and Wu is a national war, I will not give up my beliefs, and he Sun Zhongmou will not give up, between us, only death can end this chaotic world, when Cheng Yu died in Youzhou, I have already thought of this day, maybe one day, this person will be the turn of one of you, are you terrible?" ”
"We are willing to fight to the death on the battlefield for the sake of Great Wei and Your Majesty, and the horse leather shroud!"
Everyone bowed their heads and said in unison.
"Haha!"
Cao Cao suddenly laughed, and his tears flowed down from laughter: "In this case, what else do I have to fear, today I lost Zixiao's life, then he Zhao Zilong will come to fight his life!" ”
Cao Ren died, he was not sad, he was sad and indignant, even if he knew that he would fight on the battlefield, sooner or later there would be such a day, his hatred for Zhao Zilong was still endless.
"As for Zhang He!"
Cao Cao said coldly: "I have now lost a general, Hanzhong can't be lost, Yuan Hao, Er passed on my words, if Zhang Junyi can take Hanzhong, I can forgive him for his choice and understand his intentions, but if he can't keep Hanzhong, then he doesn't have to come back." ”
"Your Majesty?" Cao Chun was a little unwilling.
"Zihe, for the sake of Da Wei, you have to know how to restrain your feelings, has he Zhang He done anything wrong, you are also a person who marches and fights, you should understand!"
"Yes!" Cao Chun lowered his head and said in response.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Your Majesty, there was news from Zhang He just now."
Jia Xu stood up and said: "Three days ago, Zhao Yun sacrificed General Cao Ren with blood, which greatly boosted the morale of the Wu army, and rushed out of Shangyong in one breath, and now he has led the soldiers and horses to cross Xicheng County, in the direction of Nanzheng, and go deep into Hanzhong Forte!" ”
"It's good to want to die and come back to life!"
Cao Cao sneered, looked at the sand table, and said: "He used Zixiao to sacrifice the flag, just to show his unstoppable determination, a bit of the overlord of Western Chu back then, if he takes Nanzheng, I'm afraid Hanzhong really can't be saved." ”
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for him to take Nanzheng!"
Xi Zhicai said resolutely: "Not to mention that Zhang He is chasing hard now, Zhang Lu has also gathered tens of thousands of elites in Hanzhong, waiting in formation, since he crashes into it, he will definitely die!" ”
"Who can say for sure!"
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth slightly outlined a hint of ridicule: "Didn't Zixiao think that he couldn't break the mediocrity at the beginning, but as a result, the current Shangyong City has not been broken, and he himself has lost his life!" ”
"What does Your Majesty mean!"
"Since I handed over this battle to Zhang He, let Zhang He handle it with full authority!" Cao Cao said lightly.
"Yes!"
"Everyone, since he Sun Wu gave us a fatal blow in Hanzhong, we should also give him a lesson!"
Cao Cao slapped his palm on the sand table and said coldly: "I want Huang Hansheng's life!" ”
"Your Majesty means that we are involved in the battle to enter the state?"
Xi Zhicai's heart moved slightly, Cao Cao was angry after all.
At this time, in fact, it was not easy for Cao Wei to send troops, but because of Cao Ren's death, Cao Cao's mood was always disturbed.
He wants to take revenge in the coming great war of the annexed states.
He wanted Huang Zhong's life to resist Cao Ren's life.
The deployment of troops in Bingzhou is so obvious that the entire blood wolf battalion has been mobilized, and they are all heading towards the northwest grassland, which is enough to prove Sun Wu's determination to sweep the grassland.
However, the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei have not yet completed the establishment and training, and they have no ability to send troops at all.
"Your Majesty think twice!" Zhang Liao bowed his head and knelt down, and had some sincere persuasion: "It is not appropriate to send troops at this time!" ”
"You are worried, I understand!"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I haven't lost my mind yet, but this battle can't be fought, so I will take a risk, Cao Chun!" ”
"The last general!" Cao Chun stepped forward.
"This time, I want to call 30,000 tigers and leopards to ride north, and go north on the Xiliang Road, hoping that at a critical time, I can catch the Blood Wolf Army by surprise, and it is best to fight a whole army to be annihilated!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth.
Sun Wu's blood wolf army poured out of the nest to fight the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, at this time, if tens of thousands of elite cavalry suddenly appeared, a blow from the back would definitely catch him off guard.
"Your Majesty, now that Hanzhong has not been completely stabilized, if all the tigers and leopards are mobilized to ride north, what will happen to the safety of Luoyang City?"
"There are not 200,000 soldiers and horses on the outskirts of the city, and my safety is as stable as Mount Tai!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "This matter has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it."
"Yes!"
Cao Cao's determined expression, which everyone watched, immediately knew that this matter had been decided. (To be continued......)
