Chapter 767: Cao Cao was furious
But Cao Cao is Cao Cao, he is not Sun Quan's wretch.
After a moment of decadence, Cao Cao's gaze suddenly burst with a monstrous killing machine.
"If you conceal this news and forcibly attack Ma Teng, Han Sui. What does Wen He think? Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"This." Jia Xu couldn't help but gasp.
Cao Cao, that's a hero, what is a hero? It is a person who can still make dangerous moves when he loses a battle, do what he says, and is very likely to reverse the situation.
By doing this now, Cao Cao is forcibly reversing the situation.
Now, the rear grain road has indeed been cut off. However, Cao Cao's supply of food to the whole army was naturally impossible to cut off. Now the food hoarded in the army can last for three months.
There are only two ways to sustain this war.
One of them was to send 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride, supplemented by 20,000 ordinary cavalry. A total of 30,000 people went to Xudu to re-protect the grain route.
But in this way, Cao Cao's cavalry was much less, a full 30,000 people. You must know that Cao Cao vs. Ma Teng and Han Sui, what is most lacking is cavalry.
As soon as these 30,000 people go, the winner or loser is two things. Even if there is Jia Xu's clever plan, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.
The second way is to conceal the news of the cut off of the grain route, and rely on the army to eat enough food for three months. Take the opportunity to cross the river and pacify Yongzhou and Liangzhou within three months.
There is a good chance that this approach will succeed. But if Yongliang is not pacified before the grain is eaten, the army of 200,000 will be wiped out.
In addition, it is necessary to tolerate Zhao Yun's wanton crisscrossing in the Central Plains, destroying the granaries of the Central Plains county and plundering the population. Burning rice fields or something.
The losses in the rear are incalculable, not to mention the doom of facing the ashes of the 200,000 troops in the front.
Jia Xu was also shocked by Cao Cao's ruthlessness. It takes a ruthless person to make such a determination to die and survive.
Jia Xu felt that it was inappropriate, very inappropriate.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Cao Cao: "I remember that when Dong Zhuo was executed, Wang Yun did not let go of the ministers and other Xiliang people, and in order to save his life, the ministers had to persuade Li Guo to lead his troops to gather and point to Chang'an. ”
Saying that, Jia Xu paused and sighed: "At that time, it was also because of the bad reputation of the minister, Guo Li and others, and there was no place in the world. It's really desperate. ”
"And now the prime minister sits in the north, although he lost in the northwest, but he still has deep roots. Why rush to the task? ”
Jia Xu's words, in the words of future generations, are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. Not only do they have shoes to wear, but they also have good clothes.
It can be said that you enjoy the dignity and wealth.
Why should we be like those barefoot people, who are desperate for the gains and losses of one city and one place?
These words are all heartfelt words, not that Jia Xu dare not work hard. He is a tumbler in troubled times, even if Cao Cao dies on the battlefield, he can still live a nourishing life.
His original intention was to persuade Cao Cao to think twice.
Cao Cao's color changed slightly when he heard this, and the monstrous murderous intent in his eyes slowly converged. Jia Xu is right, he has a big family now.
There's no need to gamble on whether his life is better than Kou Feng.
"Convene all the civil and military forces to discuss the withdrawal of the army." After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao said.
"No." Jia Xu said yes and walked down. Soon after, the important civil and military forces in the army, Zhong Xuan, Cao Hong, Zhang Jaw, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Yan, Xu Zhu, etc., all entered the Chinese army's big tent.
"According to the news from the rear, Zhao Yun's cavalry defeated Zhu Ling in the Central Plains, and Zhu Ling was killed on the spot. Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to rob hundreds of thousands of horses in the Central Plains. Our food routes have also been cut off. Lone decided to withdraw his troops first. Now, schedule the tasks left behind. Cao Cao said, Cao Cao has been able to calm down at this moment. Speaking, he is very calm, and it can be said that he is not happy or angry.
"What? What does he Zhu Ling eat? Cao Hong shouted when he heard this.
Zhong Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others were also shocked.
"Close." Cao Cao glanced at Cao Hong and said coldly.
Under Cao Cao's gaze, Cao Hong was so excited that he suddenly didn't dare to speak.
With Cao Hong's example, Xiahou Yuan and the others didn't dare to make a mistake, but their expressions were still full of disbelief.
Zhu Ling failed like this.
"This time the Central Plains failed, and it was difficult for Gu Ye to organize troops to go west again for a long time. The Yongzhou area is also unsustainable. Therefore, Lone planned to gather all the people of Yongzhou south of the Yellow River in the area of Chang'an. Even if it is a household, it is all clean and clean, and it can't be cheaply given to Ma Teng. Yuan Chang led 30,000 troops to guard Chang'an. Cao Cao first solemnly said to Zhong Xuan, and then turned his head to Cao Hong and said: "Zilian, you also take care of it, give 20,000 soldiers to Gu, and guard Tongguan." ”
"No." Cao Cao said very solemnly, Zhong Xuan, and Cao Hong couldn't help but agree in unison.
The remaining 150,000 troops, including 50,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, 60,000 ordinary cavalry, and 40,000 foot soldiers. Together with Lone, he returned to the Central Plains and attacked Wancheng. Immediately, Cao Cao's face showed the posture of a bandit, his eyes flashed cold, and he said hatefully.
When he took advantage of Kou Feng to enter Shu, he took the opportunity to make soy sauce. Stopped the money and food that had only recently been accumulated, and carried out a rare expedition to the west. I don't want to, I didn't make soy sauce.
Houbei was stabbed by Kou Feng instead. A full 20,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of horses were lost. It was really a massive hemorrhage
Cao Cao had already lost his mind just now, and planned to desperately pacify Ma Teng first, and then Han Sui went back to Kou Feng to settle accounts. Fortunately, he was stopped by Jia Xu.
But this does not mean that Cao Cao's sanity has returned, in fact, Cao Cao's mood is still very, very bad.
If he doesn't take revenge, Cao Cao may not be able to sleep well.
"No." Whether it was Cao Cao's tone or Cao Cao's expression, they all showed a strong determination to take revenge, and the generals couldn't help but be emotional, and they all agreed to the promise.
Soon after, Cao Cao's camp on the south bank of the Yellow River began to slowly pull out the camp. An army of nearly 200,000 people, of course, cannot be uprooted at once.
I have to come part of it.
Three days later, Cao Cao's Chinese army tent also began to be opened. It symbolizes the complete failure of Cao Cao's soy sauce this time. It only cost a lot of money, food, troops, and hundreds of thousands of war horses.
And, it also left how to evaluate Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Hanzhong's strategy. It's a pity that there is no time.
Cao Cao walked very silently, and in the vigorous westward expedition, Cao Jun and Ma Teng, and Han Sui did not even have a decent battle. It's just that the two sides have engaged tentatively a few times.
It's really anticlimactic.
However, this matter is a great joy for the forces of Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Cao Cao walked silently, but Ma Teng and Han Sui wanted to make a big fuss and make a little more of a sensation.
Because Cao Cao's retreat means that they have consolidated Yongzhou and Liangzhou.
For their own prestige in the world, the hearts of their own forces are cohesive. There are great benefits. There are too many heroes planted in Cao Cao's hands in this world, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Tao Qian, Liu Bei and so on.
But they Ma Teng and Han Sui survived, and they also successfully harmed Yongzhou and Liangzhou. What a big deal.
Ma Teng and Han Sui's combined army was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, near Xianyang.
Xianyang was the capital of Daqin in the past. It's just that with the decline of Great Qin, Xianyang is no longer brilliant. Because the Han Dynasty set up the capital in Chang'an. Because the national strength of the early Han Dynasty was not as good as that of the Qin Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty was less resistant to the northern nomads. Xianyang is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the nomads can drive straight into Xianyang and attack Xianyang.
Therefore, Han Gaozu did not set the capital in Weiyang back then.
At this moment, Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State established by Ma Teng. Ma Teng recruited countless wealthy families in Yongzhou, supplemented the population of Xianyang, and increased the height and thickness of the Xianyang city wall.
Xianyang prospered again.
At this moment, the inside and outside of Xianyang City are even more jubilant. At least, the 200,000 soldiers were very jubilant, because Cao Cao was gone, so they didn't have to fight and shed blood.
At this moment, in Xianyang City, in the Qinhou Mansion, in the hall.
Ma Teng sat in the first place, Han Sui sat in the second place, and under him were Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Pang De and a large number of fierce generals in Xiliang and Yongzhou.
All of them were beaming.
Ma Teng and Han Sui also seem to be very close today, and they have forgotten the past grievances and honors. Joy from the bottom of my heart.
"Hahaha, I'm so happy today. When not drunk, do not return. Come on, come on, I will give you a drink. Ma Teng laughed and raised his glass to the big reinai warriors.
"Hahaha."
Han Sui laughed and led everyone to respond to Ma Teng.
"Happy, happy."
After the bowl was served, everyone screamed for joy.
"Brother Shoucheng, defeating Cao Cao this time is really of great significance to our two families. However, based on the troubled times, it is really a very difficult thing, and we cannot be negligent because of a momentary victory. I don't know what Brother Shoucheng's next measures will be, prosperous Yongzhou? After drinking it all, Han Sui asked Ma Tengdao, his attitude was very gentle, Chen Sincere
"Oh, I don't know what kind of trick Wenyue can prosper Liangzhou?" Ma Teng asked when he heard this.
"Hehehe, don't hide it. I am among the Qiangs, and my prestige is quite high. Now called Lianghou, some of the Qiang are also willing to submit. But many are still unwilling. I just want to discuss and expand the population of Liangzhou. I'm just afraid that the power will not be strong. I wonder if Shoucheng is interested? Han Sui asked.
Ma Teng sneered in his heart, Han Sui's prestige among the Qiang was very high, even the current Ma Teng was far inferior. Most of the Qiang people have received the favor of Han Sui.
If he listened to Han Sui's words, he would conquer the Qiang people together. It is estimated that he was eaten by Han Sui and the people of the Qiang tribe by the way.
Now, the great enemy Cao Cao has just left. This old wolf has already revealed wolf ambition.
"Hey, I'm excited too.
But now Cao Cao has just retreated, there is a shortage of food, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. It's not advisable to go on an expedition. I can only envy Wenyue's prosperous Liangzhou. Ma Teng said with a sigh.
When Han Sui heard this, he immediately knew that Ma Teng would not be fooled. couldn't help laughing and said, "You and my brother, what is mine is yours." When I have conquered Zhuqiang, I will surely divide my life into half of the captives. ”
But it opened a blank check.
"Thank you." Ma Teng also said with a smile.
The two leaders on the top began to calculate each other, and the warriors below also had different thoughts.
The two forces of Liang and Qin will never be able to truly unite together.
