Chapter 135: Wancheng is besieged
Cao ** nodded slowly, his memory has plummeted recently, and many things that should have been remembered can't be remembered clearly, such as the question he just asked Cheng Yu, how many military horses he can use, this is something he can completely master, but he is so confused at the moment.
Cheng Yu and the other masterminds also looked at the frowning prime minister of the Han Dynasty on the throne with strange expressions, the Supreme King Wei, this powerful man seemed to have a hint of twilight.
Cao ** slowly got up, looked at the generals and strategists in the hall, and said slowly: "Do you think that this Jingbei is still necessary to be preserved?" ”
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, yes, even the defeat in the future has shaken the foundation of the northern land, if there is another mistake, I am afraid that even the remaining seventy or eighty thousand military horses that are still confronting the Jingzhou army in Jingbei will be burned. At that time, it will not be a question of whether to protect Jingbei or not, but the entire south of the Yellow River will be discarded, and even the Xuchang area will be affected and turbulent.
You must know that although the courtiers in Xuchang who are loyal to the Han family have no power, they have been active up and down recently, and they have the meaning of serving Liu Bei to fight against the prime minister. It is inevitable that among the real power figures in the north, there is no one who is lively, if there is chaos, and then think about retreating north to protect Heluo, it will be too late!
Everyone didn't dare to say more, this decision was already concerned about the survival of the Northland, an omission, I am afraid that it is an unimaginable result, who dares to put a beak?
When the hall was extremely silent, a piercing voice sounded from the entrance of the Wancheng County Guard's Mansion, and even the main hall could hear the voice reaching the eardrums: "Report! Urgent! ”
A Cao military captain rushed to the hall, knelt on one knee, and gasped: "Report to the prime minister!" Ten miles south of Wancheng, a large number of unknown parts were found! Everyone is dressed up as a soldier of our army! But the humble has never heard of a large army returning to Wancheng! Prime Minister ......"
Cao ** Huo Ran got up: "Who!" Who is so bold, Lone did it without an order to lead the troops back! If you want to rebel, you can't do it! "Cao **'s first thought was not that the Jingzhou army pretended to be his own sergeant, but that his own generals had turned against him? Who is it? Lejin? Xiahoudun? Li Dian? Impossible, these three generals are all their own henchmen, Zhang He? It's also unlikely, I don't treat him well!
Cao ** was confused, and the eyes of the yin owl swept over everyone in the hall, and slowly came down to the hall: "Follow the lonely to the South City Tower to have a look!" I want to see who is so bold! "This heroic character is still calm at this moment, and he is not panicked, he is really a hero in troubled times.
Cao ** led a bunch of trembling generals and strategists, out of the county guard's mansion, all the way to the south of the city, and when he landed on the head of the south city, the unknown army under the south city actually camped ten miles outside the south city, and many soldiers were already cutting down trees to make siege equipment!
Cao ** trembled with anger, he trusted the generals under his command very much, and only Cao Zhang's tiger and leopard riders were guarded in this Wancheng, as well as a thousand guards, and there were only more than 5,000 people who could guard the city.
Looking at the team, Cao ** said slowly: "Send an envoy to negotiate and find out which team it is?" After speaking, Cao ** seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and slowly fell to the ground.
This figure who has risen from the troubled times is extremely tired at this moment, he is very sad, at such a moment, there are generals who turn their backs on him, and even said that he has been sleeping all night, and his head wind has been repeated, how can he not be exhausted?
Cao Zhang undoubtedly became the most noble person in the city, and this man was also decisive: "Just according to what my father said, first send an envoy to visit the camp and find out the opponent!" Then send the scout ranger out of the side door, all the way to Zhang, Li, and Xiahou generals to inform Wancheng of the situation! All the way to Yedu, let the second brother mobilize the forbidden army to come here! All the way to Xuchang, transfer half of the forbidden army in Xuchang to here! ”
"Childe! Mobilizing the forbidden army requires a tiger talisman ......," Cheng Yu said slowly.
Cao Zhang's brows froze, the tiger talismans were all in Cao **'s hands, and he naturally didn't have them in his hands. The Yecheng forbidden army may be mobilized by Cao Pi, the prison state, but it is unlikely that he wants to mobilize the Xuchang forbidden army, and Yedu is too far away from here, but Xuchang's reinforcements can still be expected.
Cao Zhang shook his head helplessly: "Let the military doctor come to the rescue quickly!" Be sure to let the prime minister wake up quickly! ”
Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhang's reaction, but sighed slightly in his heart, this son may be a fierce general of an army in battle, but he is too indecisive and has too many worries for politics, isn't this a good time for him to grasp the power of the army? It seems that among the sons of the Cao family, only Gongzi Pi is the talent of the emperor, and the others are not carved from rotten wood!
The envoy quickly chosen, that is, to let the marching commander Shi Liu Ye go to the enemy camp south of the city to find out.
Liu Ye was very bold, only brought two entourages, light car and simple followers, and went straight to this camp of people and horses, Liu Ye is a very shrewd character, but as soon as he stepped into this camp, he immediately knew that this was not the Cao army's horses, it was very likely to be the Jingzhou army's horses, because the Cao army's sergeants were mostly from the north, tall and tall, and this group of people, many people were in good shape, although they were also very elite, but they were different from the northerners.
Huo Yi knew that they would send envoys, he had already arrived at the foot of Wancheng, whether he captured this city or not, his goal had been achieved, he did not hide his whereabouts, and when Liu Ye entered the camp of the Chinese army, all he saw were red armor sergeants. Liu Ye sighed in his heart, this Jingnan Huo Shaoxian is indeed powerful, he is so bold and penetrates so far, when he arrives in Wancheng, he has to admit that the hero is a young man. But I wonder if he has arrived?
When this hand came out, Cao Jun was already very passive, whether it was Zhang He and Li Dian's Xinye defense line or Xiahoudun and Lejin's Nanxiang defense line, it was insignificant.
After Huo Yi sat down on the desk, he saw that the person who came was a middle-aged scribe, with a lofty and usual face. Huo Yi is not a stingy character, and got up: "I have heard for a long time that the characters in the Central Plains are suave, and now I see that it is true!" Don't know the surname of the highest? ”
Liu Ye saw the young general in front of him, in a soap armor and white robe, but he had already affirmed the identity of this person, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Prime Minister of Han Cheng's march to the southern army Shi Liu Ye!" ”
Huo Yi never thought that this person was Liu Ye, who was known as Wang Zuozhicai, and he thought that there must be very few soldiers and horses in this Wancheng, and he actually sent such a heavyweight here. Huo Yi returned the salute: "Huo Yi, the general of the Han Zhen Army, has long heard that Liu Ziyang is the talent of Wang Zuozhi, and his demeanor is heroic!" When I saw it today, it was true! ”
"Ye originally thought that the general was a hero, but who knew that he was cunning and changeable, and such an act was not done by a gentleman!" Liu Ye looked at the young general in front of him and said loudly.
Huo Yi smiled: "Soldier, treacherous!" The person who used the knife was not a gentleman in the first place, but it made Mr. Ziyang laugh! (To be continued.) )
