Chapter 634: The siege of Rijiu City is finally broken
readx;
Under Shouchun City, the Qin army surrounded it for more than a year. During the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun and Pavilion, Liu Zhang sent Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to constantly crisscross Yuzhou, cutting off the connection between Jiangdong and Cao Jun several times, and even robbing a lot of grain and grass. Although Cao Jun hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Shouchun, there were not only Cao Jun but also ordinary people in Shouchun City. After a year of no production, the people have begun to live on military rations.
"Strategist, it's not a way to go on like this!" With the situation reported by the quartermaster, Jiang Ji found Sima Yi. But there was a large group of people standing in front of Sima Yi, since the recurrence of Cao Yi's head wind, all military and political affairs were under Sima Yi's control, which made Sima Yi very busy.
"The second son is in charge of government affairs, why did he get it to me again!" Throwing away a piece of information in his hand, Sima Yi was quite helpless, and he regretted it a little. Looking at the large number of affairs in front of him, he felt powerless!
"Strategist, the Qin army's equipment has made the city dilapidated, you have to think of a way!" Before Sima Yi finished speaking, another general shouted.
"Go to the military to find the eldest prince, don't you understand!" Sima Yi glanced at the general and pushed him to Cao Ang.
"It's the eldest prince who asked me to come to you!" The general also did the same, and he glared and refused to make the ball.
Sima Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, if he didn't know that Cao Ang and Cao Pi really had no choice, he would have thought that the two of them were perfunctory to him. Since half a year ago, the two sons have completely become his subordinates, only responsible for carrying out orders, but he is also a clever woman who has no rice. Looking at the group of civil and military officers in front of him, making the council hall like a vegetable market, he couldn't wait to learn from Cao Ying, and he also wrapped his headband and lay on the couch to pretend to have a headache!
"Enough!" Sima Yi really couldn't stand it, he slapped the table and said: "What kind of system is panicked, people who don't know still think that the Qin army has attacked the city." Come one by one, start with Jiang Ji! ”
"Qiqi military division, there are too many people in the city, the military food is consumed too quickly, and the military food in Jiangdong often can't be transported, if it continues like this, our army won't be able to hold it for long!" Jiang Ji hurriedly reported the situation, and everyone was shocked at once. Indeed, military rations are the top priority. If there is no grain and grass, Shouchun can't be kept!
"Zitong, what do you say?" Sima Yi is resourceful, but he can't conjure food out of thin air!
"Did you drive some of the people out of the city?" After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Ji came up with an answer that even he doubted!
"The people are the foundation of the army, if we don't have the hearts of the people, what else can we do?" Sima Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, it was never a good way to drive the people out of the city.
"But now, our army can't afford to support so many people!" Jiang Ji shrugged his shoulders, if there was a way, he would not make such a decision!
A general said self-righteously: "Military advisor, I remember that Liu Xie is Liu Zhang's nephew, why don't we exchange Liu Xie for food?" If Liu Zhang doesn't give us food, we will kill Liu Xie and let Liu Zhang bear the name of injustice! ”
"Stupid!" Sima Yi said: "Liu Zhang and Liu Xie are not in harmony, and everyone in the world knows it. Besides, even if Liu Zhang really cared about Liu Xie, he would not be threatened by this! Zitong, you first lead people to drive the old and weak in the city out of the city to save military rations! ”
"Yes!" Jiang Ji surrendered his order, turned around and left, he wanted to drive the old and weak out of the city before the meal. With the current situation in Shouchun City, it is a meal that can be saved!
"Military advisor, the head of the city was smashed by the Qin army, what should I do?" The general, who had been arguing for a long time, finally interjected, and he hurriedly asked!
"Mobilize all the young men in the city to go to the city!" Rubbing his eyebrows, Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Repair the city wall as soon as possible to block the attack of the Qin army." ”
"Yes!" The general arched his hand and left excitedly. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't dare to give the order. In terms of people's hearts and morale, Cao Ying also grasped it very well!
One matter after another was quickly resolved in Sima Yi's hands, and the meeting hall slowly emptied. After everything was settled, Sima Yi collapsed in his chair, feeling a little bleak about his future. Since arriving at Shouchun City a year ago, the Qin army has not attacked it once, but Shouchun is gradually declining, he really can't imagine when Shouchun City will be breached!
Leaning back on the chair, before he could be at ease, Jiang Ji gathered the old and weak in Shouchun City. The tired Sima Yi led several generals to drive the old and weak out of the city, and those generals naively suggested that they follow the old and weak to attack the Qin army, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the Qin army waiting for the battle.
Liu Zhang was never harsh on the people, and he immediately arranged for people to send these Shouchun people to Luoyang. Not only that, but he also distributed rations so that no one would starve to death! The people who were abandoned by Cao Jun were grateful to Dade, and under the propaganda of Qin Jun, they knew what kind of life they would have, and they all looked forward to a better life. In fact, if it weren't for Cao Ying's strict control, they would have fled a long time ago!
The people's hearts were scattered, Sun Quan was blocked by Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and Shouchun became a lonely city, which gradually fell out under the strong blows of the Qin army. Finally, half a year later, the Shouchun city wall could not be replaced, and the northern city wall completely collapsed. The Qin army, under the leadership of Liu Zhang, entered Shouchun City!
"Surround Cao Ying's mansion, surround the palace!" The Qin soldiers held their weapons high and rushed into Shouchun City with a shout.
Huang Zhong led his troops to surround the palace, while Liu Zhang came to Cao Ying's mansion. Looking at the soldier Cao who was still standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dian Wei strode forward; "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Sergeant Cao, look at me, I look at you, but no one put down their weapons, and just when Dian Wei was about to give the order to shoot these soldiers, a voice shouted: "All put down their weapons!" ”
After receiving the order, Sergeant Cao threw his weapon to the ground, and Dian Wei immediately ordered someone to collect the weapon and tie up Sergeant Cao. At this time, the man who ordered the soldiers to surrender came out, and he bowed his hand; "I've seen Uncle Liu!"
Seeing the green shirt fluttering and a bookish air on his face, Liu Zhang couldn't help but admire in his heart, and he asked with a smile, "Who are you?" ”
"In Xia Cao Chong, the word Cangshu!" The person who came smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "The little nephew is the seventh son of my father, thanks to my uncle's life!" ”
"It's you!" The story of Cao Chong's elephant was almost a household name in later generations. Liu Zhang has known this name since he was a child, and has felt sorry for him many times. As soon as the medical school had some achievements, Liu Zhang sent a medical master to Xuchang, which happened to save his surname!
Cao Chong smiled and asked: Uncle is coming to Shouchun today, do you want to kill the Cao family?"
"Of course not!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Lone had an appointment with Brother Meng De back then, and whoever loses will serve the other party." Now, although Gu has attacked Shouchun, he still wants Brother Meng De to assist, how can he kill the Cao family? Of course, if you refuse to surrender, or if you are very ambitious, you will not tolerate it! ”
"I'm afraid my uncle's plan is going to fail!" Cao Chong smiled bitterly: "Since the defeat in Xuchang two years ago, my father's head wind has recurred from time to time. Now, he's dying and in danger, and he can't help you..."
Liu Zhang asked in surprise: "The lonely doctor is in Shouchun, how can it still be like this?" ”
"Uncle, your healer, my father doesn't dare to use it, and he doesn't want to use it!" Cao Chong smiled bitterly and told Liu Zhang about Peng Yi's envoy, although he didn't add oil and vinegar, but there was also some complaint in his tone!
"It's all lonely!" Liu Zhang asked, "Virtuous nephew, your father is not dead yet!" ”
"It's not dead, it's coming!" Cao Chong is also a little helpless, if Cao Chong doesn't heal again, he will definitely die!
"Let's go, take Gu to have a look!" Taking Cao Chong's hand, Liu Zhang was about to walk towards the mansion, but Cao Chong stopped him.
"Uncle, don't worry, please give an order first to protect my eldest brother's mansion, my Cao family is all there!" As the saying goes: Rebels are like bandits. Looking at the surging Qin army, Cao Chong couldn't help but be a little worried.
"It's fine!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Lone's army is no better than other princes, no one dares to step into the dwellings in the city without permission, they will only be surrounded by groups!" ”
"This..."Cao Chong hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, please think twice..."
"Pawned!" Seeing that Cao Chong was unrelenting, Liu Zhang ordered: "Pass the Gu order, all soldiers are not allowed to step into the Cao family's mansion, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Dianman rode away with dozens of tiger guards, and as they ran, they shouted Liu Zhang's orders.
After Dian Man left, Liu Zhang looked at Cao Chong with a smile and asked, "So, are you satisfied?" ”
Cao Chong saluted and said, "Thank you uncle, please come into the house!" ”
Seeing that Liu Zhang was about to enter the palace, Dian Wei stopped in front of him and said, "Beware of fraud!" ”
"Don't worry, old man, now that the victory and defeat have been divided, Cao Ying can afford to lose!" After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he strode into Cao's mansion, followed by Dian Wei.
Walking beside Cao Chong, Dian Wei gently admonished him in his ear with a hideous face: "Boy, if you dare to play tricks, I promise to tear you apart!" ”
"General Dian's prestige has spread all over the world, how can the kid not know? Don't worry, I can't afford your anger, and the Cao family can't afford the anger of the Qin army! Looking at Dian Wei's fierce and vicious face, Cao Chong's face was a little pale, and his legs trembled a little, which made Liu Zhang shake his head.
To tell the truth, among Cao Ying's dozens of sons, it is estimated that the only person who has really become a weapon is Cao Zhang, who has made great contributions to the Cao family in the southern and northern wars! Cao Chong is indeed smart, but his courage is a little worse. When Cao Ying was younger than him, he already dared to fool his father and uncle, and when he was as old as him, he dared to take Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to steal other people's brides!
As for Cao Ang and Cao Zhi, one is too benevolent to a woman, and the other is a laissez-faire, neither of them is a master. Cao Pi, who inherited Cao Ying's throne, can only be regarded as the top of the short man. When he became emperor, he immediately changed his father's policies. If it weren't for the fact that he had compromised with the family and used Chen Qun's nine-grade Zhongzheng system, it would have been really difficult for Sima Yi to usurp the throne of the Cao family.
