Chapter 684: It's Hard to Succeed

Liu Xiu ignored the retention of the Empress Dowager Song and the Son of Heaven, and left with the personal guard camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He was going to hand over the hussar general's talisman and seal, but the Empress Dowager Song refused to accept it anyway, and he didn't insist anymore, so he took it into his pocket and walked away. The Empress Dowager Song wanted to leave Liu He to accompany her, but Liu Xiu took her away on the grounds that Liu He was old, had not yet married, and was not suitable to get along with the Son of Heaven day and night. Watching Liu He affectionately pull Liu Xiu's arm and get into the car, Empress Dowager Song's heart felt as if a piece of meat had been stripped of her.

The little emperor gave the honor guard and personally sent it ten miles away, so he said goodbye. Standing outside the long pavilion, Xiao Tianzi was sullen, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Zhou Yu and the others watched from afar, not daring to step forward to persuade them. This thing has developed too fast, from the time Tianzi said that sentence to Liu Xiu, to Liu Xiu's departure, it was no more than half a day. Liu Xiu, who had made great contributions, suddenly left his army behind and returned to Jiangling to seal the country, and anyone would regard this as the meaning of the Son of Heaven. Liu Xiu is gone, but his influence has not disappeared, he will control everything here remotely in Jiangling, Xiao Tianzi has a reputation of suspicion, and the mood can be imagined, no one will come forward to find it at this time.

What makes Xiao Tianzi even more headache is that when Liu Xiu was in charge of the overall situation here, Jingzhou and Yangzhou sent food and medicine in a steady stream, and no one dared to bargain with Liu Xiu, now that Liu Xiu is gone, will those people still be so obedient? If they use the New Deal contract to push off and refuse to send food and medicine, what will he do? Invite Liu Xiu back again? That must be impossible, the Queen Mother came forward to save him, but it didn't work, and then asked him to go out of the mountain. How could it be so easy?

Thinking of the next predicament, Xiao Tianzi's heart was in a mess, sad and annoyed.

Wei General Cao Cāo stood beside Xiao Tianzi. With his hands crossed in front of his chest, he also sighed and frowned. Liu Xiu's sleeves flicked away. In addition to the Son of Heaven here, his military rank is the highest, coupled with the relationship between the Cao family and the Song family, he naturally has to take on this important responsibility. Of course, he hopes to lead the army to pacify Jizhou alone and make immortal achievements. But he understands better that now Yanzhou's vitality is greatly damaged, and he has no strength to pacify Jizhou. And the arrogant soldiers and generals left by Liu Xiu thought that it was Xiao Tianzi who forced Liu Xiu away, and he Cao Cāo may also have a share. This is gritting his teeth in his heart, how can he do what he wants? No, as soon as Liu Xiu was sent away, Xia Yu came to ask him, General Wei, this Yanzhou has also been pacified, when will the rewards for the brothers be in place. The brothers are in a hurry.

Cao Cāo was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, why didn't you ask when Liu Xiu was there? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make me unhappy?

Seeing that the little Tianzi kept turning like a grinding donkey, Cao Cāo couldn't help it and stepped forward. He said softly: "Your Majesty, the hussar general has already gone away, Your Majesty should return to the camp earlier, there are still many things waiting for Your Majesty to deal with." ”

Xiao Tianzi responded a little distractedly, and after a while, he got into the car in a daze. After rushing back to the camp, Xiao Tianzi immediately invited Cao Cāo to the big tent to discuss matters, and in the face of the mess left behind by Liu Xiu after leaving, they must take over immediately, otherwise Yanzhou, which had just been pacified, would immediately be in a mess.

"Do you want to stop the war in Jizhou?" As soon as Xiao Tianzi opened his mouth, he raised the most critical question: "The hussar general is not here, can General Wei duli undertake the war against Jizhou?" ”

Cao Cāo smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, although Jizhou has been attacked on all sides, how can hundreds of cities, large and small, be easily captured? In big cities like Julu and Yecheng, any one of them consumes half a year, and without sufficient grain and ordnance, how can they easily fight? ”

"You don't have to worry about the siege. Although the hussar general was gone, Xu Rong was still there, and he had a sharp weapon in his hand, which allowed him to successfully break through the city and quickly end the battle. Xiao Tianzi was ambitious and clenched his fists vigorously.

Cao Cāo was surprised: "What kind of sharp weapon can be used to siege the city?" ”

"Yes...... A new weapon, very powerful. Xiao Tianzi hesitated, but still revealed something to Cao Cāo. The reason why the hussar general dared to leave Xu Rong's 20,000 troops under Pingyu City was because of this sharp weapon. However, Pingyu City was undefeated and surrendered, so it was useless. ”

Cao Cāo's eyes rolled: "If this is the case, then the chances of winning the siege will be greatly increased." But what about the problem of grain and grass? ”

Xiao Tianzi sighed depressedly, smacked his lips, and said nothing. He is also worried about the problem of food and grass. The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, and there is no war without grain and grass. "It's a pity that Yanzhou is ruined and Yuzhou is newly determined, it can't be a big deal, otherwise why bother so much." He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What about Qingzhou and Xuzhou, can you draw some grain and grass?" ”

Cao Cāo didn't speak with a bitter face, he could hear that Xiao Tianzi was a little angry, and wanted to take Jizhou while Liu Xiu was away, so that the world could see, even if there was no Liu Xiu, he could calm the world. But it's useless to be angry, you have to have strength, and if you rush to send troops before you are ready, you will only return with a miserable defeat, which makes people laugh in vain, but it will grow Liu Xiu's ambition.

However, Xiao Tianzi was on the rise, and Cao Cāo didn't dare to sweep his interest, so he had to use the procrastination trick. "Your Majesty, the hussar general left his post suddenly, and the minister can't figure out the situation for a while, can you wait for the minister to count the materials left by the hussar general first, and then make a calculation?"

Xiao Tianzi nodded helplessly, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something. "I remember you once mentioned a wealthy merchant from Xuzhou who sold rice from Jiaozhou and helped you a lot."

Cao Cāo thought for a moment: "It is true, but after that time, he has never come to see the minister again." ”

"Can you find him?"

"You can find it, but he doesn't necessarily have so many meters on hand." Cao Cāo smiled bitterly, "A merchant, even if he has a lot of wealth, how can he be able to support the attack of tens of thousands of adults. That's not a small amount. ”

"Give it a try, something is better than nothing." Xiao Tianzi waved his hand indiscriminately and ended the conversation. Cao Cāo was very depressed, as soon as Liu Xiu left, Xiao Tianzi's temper immediately rose, he didn't have the confidence of Liu Xiu, and dared to discipline Xiao Tianzi as a disciple.

Leaving the imperial tent of the little emperor, the sky was already dark. Cao Cāo looked at the bright stars in the sky, as if he saw Liu Xiu's cunning gaze, and scolded secretly. turned around and went to the imperial tent of the Empress Dowager Song to ask for a meeting. Now the only one who can control the little son of heaven is this Empress Dowager Song.

After entering the account, Cao cāo saluted the Empress Dowager Song in a proper manner. Then he told Xiao Tianzi about the expedition to Jizhou just now. Empress Dowager Song frowned and listened, there was no good way. She and Xiao Tianzi have been together for so long, how can she not know Xiao Tianzi's thoughts. But it was useless to know, there was not enough reason, and she couldn't stop it.

This father and son are really a temper. Empress Dowager Song sighed secretly.

"The Queen Mother, there is a folk rumor that His Majesty and the hussar general were originally father and son, this is ......," Cao Cāo said in a slurred. The rest of his eyes were staring at the face of the Empress Dowager Song. He noticed that as soon as the words father and son came out, the corners of Empress Dowager Song's eyes twitched, but then she regained her calm.

"Rumors stop at the wise, General Wei won't know this truth, right?"

Cao Cāo was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed to ask for guilt: "It's the minister's ignorance, it's the minister's ignorance." ”

"Mengde. The hussar general is gone, and you are the most trusted person of His Majesty and me. Empress Dowager Song softened her tone: "Your Majesty is still young, and it is reasonable to be vigorous for a while. But you are already in the years of establishment, and you have been fighting for many years. Experienced beyond my own woman. The two families of Song Cao, that is, your talents are the most outstanding, what to do, you must know in your heart, you can't follow His Majesty's Xingzi. The battle can be fought late, or it can not be fought, but it must not be defeated, otherwise it will not only be disadvantageous to His Majesty, but also to the Song and Cao families. ”

"Yui. Chancellor understood. Cao Cāo broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. However, with the words of the Queen Mother, he also has a bottom in his heart, anyway, in a word, you can't fight a battle that you are not sure of, and when necessary, the Queen Mother Song will resolutely stand on his side.

……

After Liu Xiu arrived, Zhang Fei immediately arranged to garrison, and five thousand cavalry surrounded the pavilion tightly, and any abnormal behavior within twenty miles would be reported to Liu Xiu as soon as possible. Xu Yu took the Hushi camp to camp around the pavilion, and Zhang Wei led twenty guards to check the inside and outside of the pavilion, and then invited Liu Xiu to settle in. The pavilion chief waited cautiously, not even daring to come out, and knelt down as soon as he saw Liu Xiu, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Liu Xiu ignored him and went straight into the house, Liu He walked behind, and said crisply: "Get up, you don't have to be nervous." The general's diet is prepared by others, you take care of your mouth and legs, stay in the room in peace, and I will call you if there is anything. ”

"Whoa." The pavilion chief got up and went out as if it were an amnesty, and stayed in his room honestly, closing the door tightly. Liu He walked into the house with brisk steps, and saw that Liu Xiu had just untied the big hat and was moving his shoulders, so he hurriedly rushed up to take the big one, hung it on the coat hook next to him, and said with a smile: "Daddy, you sit down, I'll help you pinch your shoulders." ”

"yes, okay." Liu Xiu smiled: "It's okay now, the Queen Mother can't pull you back anymore, you are Daddy's little heart." Girl, this time I followed Daddy out to fight, isn't it fun? ”

Liu He stuck out his tongue, pinched Liu Xiu's shoulder, tilted his head and thought about it: "Well-it's not fun at first, I was so scared when I saw those wounds and blood, I couldn't sleep at night, I always had nightmares." But now that I'm used to it, I'm happy to see those soldiers like me. ”

"Most of the soldiers are rough and straight, and whoever is good to them, they will die for whomever they want. Which of the ancient and modern famous generals is not a son who loves the people? Liu Xiu snorted: "That kid wants to expand his territory and conquer the world, but he never knows how to care about the soldiers around him, how can he win the heart of a soldier?" Wealth, can wealth change lives? He read so many "Han Feizi", but he didn't read Han Feizi's teacher Xunzi's article on soldiers. There is no way to do it, and it is difficult to become a great tool. ”

"Doesn't he read well? I think he's learning the art of war with Daddy now, but he's making rapid progress. ”

"Sun Tzu's Art of War said, go to the army to plan, then make friends, and then attack the army. His current attention is only on the cutting of soldiers, at best he has only touched the edge of the cutting relationship, and he has no understanding of the cutting plot at all. Liu Xiu sighed: "Although he is smart, he reads a book like "Han Feizi" too early, his foundation is not thick, his vision is not wide, although he is smart, it is even more difficult to become a big tool. ”
