Chapter 591: The Theory of Moving the Capital
yes, why did you lose Xiangyang in one day. Yu Ban is a world-famous general, and he has outstanding ability. But this time not only Xiangyang was lost, but even his life was lost in Xiangyang.
To say that Xu Huang lost Jiangling, it was because it was excusable to lose it in the tunnel, but Xiangyang.
It's just puzzling.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Manzhong. As the only survivor of this Xiangyang War, Man Chong is the only one who can let them know the secrets of this war.
Thinking of Yu Ban, who had been killed in Xiangyang City, his favored eyes couldn't help but blush slightly, although the time he spent with Yu Ban was short, but the impact of this famous general on him was huge.
Man Pet consciously learned a lot from Yu Ban's side. But now, this famous general of the Central Plains has been buried in Xiangyang.
, "According to Ji Ge," the garrison of Xiangyang has the headquarters of General Yu Ban, the headquarters of General Gao Lan, and the headquarters of General Xu Huang. However, Kou Feng broke through Gangneung in one day. Let General Xu Huang hate it. Plainly less than 120,000 soldiers and horses to assist. But General Zhou Yu joined halfway, which can be regarded as making up for it. Therefore, General Yu Ban ordered the city wall to be heightened and reinforced, and at the same time ordered Zhou Yu to train his soldiers diligently. Boost morale. Wait for Kou Feng to attack. But. ”。 Speaking of this, Manzhong's face involuntarily showed a look of shock, and he looked at the ministers around him, and said, "But Kou has a well car, which is twenty zhang high." Forty of them were put together, "like the walls of the city." Shoot the defenders of Xiangyang from above. Kou Fengcai catapult, the range is 200 meters, a total of more than 1,000 vehicles put together, flying stones cover the sky and the sun, and the guards are frightened. Kou Feng has knives, which are narrow in shape, light in weight, and fast. Equipped with a small part of the army, this part of the army. The combat power is amazing......
"General Yu Ban defended the city first, but seeing the power of the well cart and trebuchet, he was forced to abandon half of the city wall and fight with Kou Feng's army in the city. Defeated by Chu Dao. In the end, he hated Xiangyang. ,。 In the eyes full of favors, he couldn't help but show a sad color.
The people around were also silent.
From Man's favored words, they learned the direction of Kou Feng's army and the reason why Xiangyang City was broken in one day. It's not that Kou Feng's forces are strong, enough to break through Xiangyang in one day.
It's not that Kou Feng's wisdom is unparalleled, which is enough to turn things around.
It's that Kou Feng has a variety of means, and the siege equipment is too good.
There is a well car twenty zhang high. There are more than 1,000 catapults. The extremely sharp Chu knife. These add up. How much gold and silver will it cost?
Especially well carts, catapults and other items. i.e. precious. It's bulky and heavy. In the Central Plains, all it takes is a cavalry to destroy these things.
Something almost disposable.
But Kou Feng still got it out. I used a huge financial advantage to buy Xiangyang City.
By the way, he also bought Cao Cao's 20,000 troops, a famous general ban, and a fierce general Gao Lan. Zhou Yu, the last pillar of Jiangdong.
Winning is easy and comfortable, and winning is unconvincing. But I had to take it. Jing Chu's ferocity and wealth are really the best in the world."
After Man Pet finished speaking, everyone in the hall was silent for a long time.
Until Cao Cao said up, "This is the real Chu Dao." You can take a look. ”。 As he spoke, Cao Cao glanced at the attendant next to him, and the attendant immediately understood, "Hold a few Chu knives down and show them to everyone."
In the battle between Yu Ban and Kou Feng, a lot of Chu knives were naturally captured. Full pet brought back more than 10 handfuls. Half of them were handed over by Cao Cao to craftsmen for development.
Others are the Chu knives in the hands of the current attendants.
From the beginning, Cao Cao was silent. There was a sad look in his eyes. In the battle of Chibi, although he was defeated, the general lost one of the members, and the ministers were all there.
The so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find. It is because Cao Cao is not sad.
But this Kou Feng Northern Expedition has lost too many of his generals. Xu Huang was captured. Among the five sons. Xu Huang was the most honest and loyal, and Cao Cao knew that Xu Huang was the "indispensable figure for stabilizing Cao's rule."
Now he is captured.
The head of the five sons, the one who can fight well is forbidden. Yu Ban can be described as a good general. He is the most stable and able to win battles under Cao Cao's account, and he is also a famous general who governs the army the strictest.
He is also the general of the Cao family. but died in Xiangyang.
The most important thing is Cao Ren. Cao Ren was not only Cao Cao's brother, but also considered by Cao Cao to be the most important link in the continuation of Cao's rule after his death.
can lead troops to fight, and can win battles, as a winning general. In the Cao family, there is only one Cao Ren. Although he was captured by Kou Feng. But Cao Cao never gave up his heart to redeem Cao Ren. Fight in Chibi. Even if he would rather fall into Kou Feng's trap, he didn't give up Cao Ren.
But he also died in Xiangyang.
Lost three generals in the first battle. Even if his heart is as hard as Cao Cao, he feels that he can't stand it.
Cao Cao was secretly sad. But in the hall, everyone picked up the Chu knife one after another. Each of them is also very heavy.
Light, sharp, can cut people, can break armor. And most importantly, it's sturdy. This Kou Feng is a talented Chu knife, which is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger. Difficult to deal with.
"This thing must be hurried." "Xun or the most keen. Raise your fist in front of Cao Cao.
"Let's develop it first." However, even if it is developed. For a while, I don't want to think about large-scale equipment. That fake black knife has consumed a lot of resources. Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, but sighed.
Black Knife. The fake Chu knife was developed, which almost made Cao Cao empty the treasury. As a result, it was all scrapped, which was another pain in Cao Cao's heart.
"Now is not the time to discuss this, the top priority is to think about how to deal with Kou Feng." Cao Cao paused. Again.
His eyes were filled with hesitation.
Everyone here is an old courtier, and they can understand some of Cao Cao's expressions. As soon as they saw Cao Cao's expression, everyone knew that Cao Cao already had a countermeasure in his heart, but it was two, or even three, so it led to hesitation.
"Please make it clear." Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and finally Xun He, the oldest Cheng Mouguo, raised his fist and asked.
"I want to move the capital." Cao Cao exhaled and said.
It can be said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves. The people in the hall are all very stable people, even if Cheng Yu is a little impatient, he can still collapse in front of him without changing his face.
But Cao Cao's words were too lethal.
Moving the capital, it is actually moving the capital.
Although Kou Feng's momentum is like a rainbow, the sharpness is dazzling. Although Kou Feng's army is strong. is much more than Cao Cao's current soldiers and horses in Xudu.
Although Kou sealed Xiangyang, it caused instability in the Central Plains.
Although, although Kou Feng came, he brought all kinds of unfavorable factors, but he couldn't move the capital.
"Ming Gong can't, although Kou Feng is strong now, I still have 90,000 horse infantry troops, including tiger and leopard cavalry, and ordinary cavalry There are also tens of thousands. If Kou Feng's catapult or well cart comes, they will definitely have no return, and they have nothing to fear. How can you move the capital without a fight? Cheng Yu said loudly. He looked extremely excited.
How did Cao Cao pacify the world? It is Dingdu Xu County. If the capital is moved, isn't this tantamount to telling the world that the world is going to be chaotic again?
Definitely a huge blow in prestige.
"What Zhongmou said is very true, and now Ma Teng. Han Sui and other more than ten princes soldiers Kou Chang'an, Tongguan. Gongsun Kang, Yuan Xi. Yuan Shang and other soldiers Kou Youzhou. Although only Cao Hong. Zhong Xuan, Zhang Liao and others resisted. But that's also because the prestige of the Central Plains is still there. The thieves did not dare to attack with all their might. Even suspicion of oneself. But if the Ming Duke moves the capital. It is tantamount to self-defeating prestige. And the heroes of the world will definitely attack with all their might. I really can't. Xun Or also flushed his face and said loudly.
"Moving the capital will cause no loss and no benefit." Chen Qunjian said in shock.
Everyone objected in unison, which was within Cao Cao's expectations, and this move of the capital to avoid the edge was too weak after all.
But Cao Cao can't help it, there are many scholars in the Central Plains, and people's hearts are changeable. Cao Cao already felt it. In addition, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, gradually grew up, and his heart began to be wild. With Dong Cheng's edict in front, Cao Cao didn't worry about leaving Liu Xie in Xu Du, "It's a mess." On the contrary, Hebei, because of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, slaughtered many people. The rest of the scholars are also oriented to Cao Cao, and they are clean and abnormal.
If the capital is moved to Hebei, it will not only be able to avoid the edge. It can also play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Everything is because Kou Feng's sharpness is too strong, and there is an incomparably sharp feeling. Cao Cao I was a man of great power and almost fearless. But the sharpness I felt this time was real.
Regardless of whether Kou Feng used money to pile up the myth of one day to break Xiangyang, whether Kou Feng is a traitor or not. What cannot be denied is that Xiangyang is broken.
There is no danger to defend.
At present, Cao Cao is not ready, and under this Xu capital city, he will compete with Kou Feng. Although it is a home game, now is the weakest time for the north. Win or lose, it will be a heavy blow.
"If Xu Du fights, there will be many lone soldiers and horses. I'm afraid the world is really going to be chaotic. Cao Cao was silent for a long time, then sighed.
Prestige is important, Cao Cao knows. So to keep the capital, this is a symbol. But if you don't have the deterrence of the army, the world will not rise up?
After the baptism of troubled times, everyone in the world knows that now it depends on who has the big fist and who can take the position.
"Ming Gong, I am willing to gather the children of the clan to come and protect the capital together." Chen Qun came out of the queue. Indescribably impassioned.
"Gather the children of the clan and guard the capital." Everyone looked at each other and said in unison.
Although the world is chaotic, the household registration has been greatly reduced. However, the strength of the scholars has increased to a certain extent. When the people lost their land, they became vagrants. So the number of households is decreasing.
However, the scholars who have collected the displaced people are not included in the state household registration. So the power is growing. Although Cao Cao himself is trying his best to combat this kind of thing. But this tenon thing is inevitable. Even these people in the hall, especially the Chen clan and the Xun clan in Yingchuan, are all Dashi clans.
There is no small force under it. If they send their sons to help defend the capital, they may be able to form thousands of troops.
But this moment is not the time to talk about the size of these human races. What should be paid attention to is the determination of these people to live and die with the Cao clan and defend the capital.
Fight against Kou Feng.
