Chapter 735: Liaodong Incident (2)
"Yuan Shao is dead?" In Liaodong, Yang Chen heard the news in the mansion and immediately stood up.
"Yes, sir!" The person who sent the intelligence nodded at Yang Chen.
"Is the news certain?" Yang Chen frowned and asked the intelligence officer.
"My lord, then Cao Cao and Cao Mengde have already sent a sacrifice to Cao Cao in the Bohai Sea." The intelligence officer said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded heavily: "I know, you go down!" ”
"Yes!"
Yang Chen paced, Cao Cao has sent a sacrificial text to make a big deal about the world, this must not be fake, Fan Yang has been breached, the Yuan brothers have no trace, and now Bohai County is also finished, Yuan Shao is also dead, it can be said that the entire Hebei Cao Cao is no longer invincible.
Yang Chen shook his head, this is bad news for Yangzhou, once Cao Cao frees up his subordinates, then Yangzhou will bear the brunt of the attack, after all, the only one in the world who can compete with Cao Cao is the Yangzhou army.
"It's time to leave Liaodong!" Yang Chen thought for a long time and shouted, "Someone." ”
"The subordinates are here!" A person who looked like a housekeeper walked in, this person was an assistant that Yang Hong gave to Yang Chen's son, and he was afraid that Yang Chen would be young and inexperienced.
"Steward Tong, have a few guests of the Yuan family already boarded the boat over there?" Yang Chen asked this Tong Butler. A few days ago, the old and weak women and children said that Yuan Xi's family came to ask Yang Chen for help, but Yang Chen couldn't make up his mind, so he had to send them to Yangzhou first.
"Not yet!" Steward Tong shook his head, because Gan Ning's naval warship and caravan had not returned, it was impossible for them to arrange a warship or a cargo trip for Yuan Xi's family alone.
"If not, then do your best! There is also a boat to go to Guangling County to send a message to General Gan Ning, asking him to come back as soon as possible! There is something important to discuss. Yang Chen said to Steward Tong. Liaodong didn't stay long ago. Yang Chen didn't know the situation of this Liaodong prince Sun Du.
"What do you mean, sir?" Steward Tong also heard the severity of the matter from Yang Chen's words.
"Gongsun Du of Liaodong and I Yangzhou are just friends of money. Dog meat friends. He can make things difficult for Cao Cao for the sake of profit, and he can also offend us for the sake of profit. Yang Chen said to Steward Tong.
"The little one knows." Yang Chen said that this is the case, and Steward Tong nodded, taking precautions, "I'll arrange it!" ”
"Go now, go back!"
Not long after Steward Tong left, the concierge suddenly shouted, "Oh no, no, adult, adult!" ”
A porter ran towards the inner mansion in a hurry. The threshold was very high, and he didn't pay attention, and he directly bumped into the threshold and fell in front of Yang Chen.
"What a system of panic!" The current Yang Chen is no longer the stunned young man who was still by Lu Su's side at the beginning, and now Yang Chen is becoming more and more calm, just like his father Yang Hong.
"My lord, my lord, the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army has surrounded our mansion!" The porter said to Yang Chen in a panic.
The porter didn't see the slightest panic from Yang Chen's face, but Yang Chen was expressionless and couldn't see the slightest movement, "Sure enough, it's here?" ”
Yang Chen's facial expression, but his heart was bitter, he handled large and small affairs in Liaodong, and was appointed by Liu Mang as the general manager of Liaodong. Let's be honest, do a line of love. Yang Chen already liked this diplomatic envoy in Liaodong very much, and promoted the demeanor of my Han Dynasty for His Royal Highness, doing business with Liaodong, transporting a steady stream of war horse resources back from the waterway, and then exchanging armor for the inexhaustible gold and silver, which made Yang Chen feel a sense of accomplishment, but he also knew that Liaodong might not stay for long.
"Come and see with me!" Yang Chen ordered to the people under his hands.
"Yes!"
Yang Chen walked into the front hall from the inner mansion, and sure enough, the sergeants over there were fierce, and all of them had resolute looks on their faces, Yang Chen naturally knew that they were all veterans of a hundred battles who had been on the battlefield.
Looking at the armor and swords on their bodies again, Yang Chen couldn't help but sneer, this is definitely the elite soldiers and horses among the elites of Liaodong, because the weapons and armor on their bodies are all used in their Yangzhou armor and swords.
The armor and war knives made in Yangzhou can reach 100 gold in Liaodong, and even 500 gold cannot be bought in the black market.
Therefore, in the hands of Gongsun Du of Liaodong, the soldiers and horses who can wear such armor and weapons must be Gongsun Du's henchmen and horses.
Sure enough, Yang Chen saw a familiar figure.
"Manager Yang, don't come unharmed!" A smiling figure, looking a little similar to Gongsun Du, Yang Chen knows him, he is Gongsun Kang, the future heir of Liaodong, the eldest son of Gongsun Du.
"Yo, what kind of wind blew our Gongsun Kang Gongzi here, it just made Peng Sheng shine." Although Yang Chen was angry in his heart, he still looked at the person with a smile on his face.
"Manager Yang, Kang came here this time to discuss a business with Manager Yang." Gongsun Kang also looked at Yang Chen with a smile and said.
"Oh?" Yang Chen looked at Gongsun Kang suspiciously, "What kind of business can make Gongsun Kang's son have such a big posture." Although Yang Chen was puzzled, he looked like he was mocking, talking about business, he naturally came with a smile and sincerity, not with these soldiers staring at him.
"Oh, that's what Mr. Yang said!" Gongsun Kang suddenly realized, and said to Yang Chen to the soldiers behind him, "Manager Yang, you don't know, this business is really too important and the value is too great, so ah, little brother, I can't help but bring the soldiers here!" Please also forgive me Mr. Yang. Come on, say hello like Mr. Yang! Gongsun Kang shouted to the group of soldiers behind him.
"Mr. Yang is in charge!" A group of soldiers behind Gongsun Kang shouted in unison.
"Huh!" Yang Chen's eyes narrowed even deeper, this was not a greeting, this was a demonstration.
"Manager Yang, in business, I'm going to talk about my business." Gongsun Kang began to see the dagger.
"Say it!" Yang Chen was very free and easy at this time, asked Gongsun Kang to sit down, and asked the maid to bring tea to Gongsun Kang.
"Above Liaodong, although it is bitterly cold, there are many sorrows. In the east, the three Koreans are all ready to move. My father recently got the news. Goguryeo, Dongchuan Wang Han Zaishi is about to move, and wants to send troops to my Lelang County and Xuansu County on the occasion of opening the village, my father is very worried, so I specially asked me to come to discuss with Chief Yang whether I can buy some fine armor and weapons from General Yang for the front-line soldiers. In case of my Han territory! Gongsun Kang's words are so good that he has to compare himself to Wei Qinghuo, who is defending against foreign enemies.
If it was an official who was not familiar with the affairs of Liaodong, he would really be moved by him, but it was a pity that although Yang Chen had not been in Liaodong for a long time, he was very clear about the division of forces in Liaodong.
What kind of country is Goguryeo? It's just a small country on the edge of Liaodong, there are only dozens of cities, and there are Buyeo and Dongwozu on the side, thinking about annexing Goguryeo, how can they invade Liaodong, and over the years, our king of Liaodong has really not been idle. He drove the wolf, and when Goguryeo was strong, he merged with Buyeo Dongwozu to besiege Goguryeo. When Buyeo was strong, he united with Goguryeo to attack Buyeo.
This hand is very good at driving wolves and tigers, and even the king of Dongchuan in Goguryeo was also made by his Liaodong prince Sun Du intervened.
Over the years, it is a good thing that Gongsun Du of Liaodong has not fought Goguryeo, and the king of Dongchuan in Goguryeo is about to burn incense and worship Buddha, how dare he take the initiative to invade Liaodong, this is not death.
"Say, what does the king of Liaodong want geometric armor weapons!" Yang Chen asked Gongsun Kang on the side with a smile.
"Chief Yang is refreshing, my father doesn't want much, 12,000 armors, 30,000 swords, once the soldiers in front get these elite weapons and armor made in Yangzhou, they will inevitably break Goguryeo, and at that time, they will definitely let those barbarian places also be incorporated into my Central Plains, and the great kindness of General Manager Yang and the people of Liaodong will never forget!" Gongsun Kang said to Yang Chen over there.
"Hahaha!" Yang Chen suddenly laughed, a good one only needs 12,000 armors, and a good one only needs 30,000 battle knives, Yang Chen turned his head around, does he have these weapons and armor? Yes! And the numbers are almost the same as what Gongsun Kang said, what does this mean, it means that Gongsun Kang's people have already penetrated deep into his Yang Chen's people, otherwise they wouldn't be so clear about how many armor weapons he has in stock.
"I don't know if there are so many armor and swords in Chief Yang's treasury?" Gongsun Kang asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Yang Chen replied very happily, people are asking you so, don't you say no, isn't it a joke, he came prepared, and he is also warning him Yang Chen, that is, there are already some of you who are us, so don't play tricks with me.
"Okay, refreshed, it turns out that Mr. Yang has so many weapons and armor, and I brought the money again, so let's start trading! The soldiers ahead can't wait! Gongsun Kang said to Yang Chen with a smile.
"Come on! Bring me all the gold! Over there, Gongsun Kang shouted to the generals behind him.
"Yes!" Soon, seven or eight big men carried large boxes into the main hall, and put the boxes on the ground, and the boxes were very heavy.
"Open them!" The boxes have been opened, and the golden gold is about to make people's eyes panic, these are all money.
"Mr. Yang Chen, these are the money to buy armor! Please check the number of Mr. Yang Chen! Gongsun Kang said to Yang Chen.
"No need to look it up!" Yang Chen was very indifferent, although those pieces of gold were real, and the amount was not a lot, at least a thousand gold, but these pieces of money and more than 10,000 armors, even if he couldn't afford to change them, what was the point of him Yang Chen checking or not checking them.
"Gongsun Kang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to buy and sell? You are not afraid of our Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou.." Chief Manager Tong behind Yang Chen couldn't stand it, and stepped forward to scold Gongsun Kang. If you buy 10,000 pieces of armor and add 30,000 knives, you think this is Chinese cabbage, sell it casually, even if the cost price of Yangzhou is more than this price.
"Huh?" Gongsun Kang's eyes narrowed, and a group of soldiers behind him also began to put their hands on the battle knife.
"Stand down!" Yang Chen shouted at Steward Tong, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, no matter how much you argue, it is useless.
"Manager Yang, it's best to take care of your dog, it's not good if he throws it out and bites people, I can only help Manager Yang chop him up!" Saying that, Gongsun Kang pulled out the saber in his hand and waved it twice, the meaning of the threat was overflowing.
"You don't have to worry about Gongsun Kanggongzi, I'll take care of my dog myself. If you want to talk about this dog. Prime Minister Cao Cheng still has a trick. When I have time, I also want to go to Xiang Cao Cheng to ask for advice, and I want to ask him how he can not give the dog bones, this dog will bite people for him. You say yes, Gongsun Kang Gongzi! Yang Chen looked at Gongsun Kang over there very indifferently and said.
"You!" Gongsun Kang was angry, he was the eldest son of the King of Liaodong, and he was the heir of the future King of Liaodong, who dared to talk to him like this, this Yang Chen was clearly scolding him Gongsun Kang was a dog of Cao Cao, and he took Yangzhou to curry favor with Cao Cao. If you want to be one of Cao Cao's dogs, you have to be ashamed and angry. But then he pressed this heart again, he came to buy things today, not to use force.
"Manager Yang, are you doing or not doing this deal today?" Gongsun Kang looked at Yang Chen angrily, he couldn't wait to say the word "not to sell" from Yang Chen's mouth, then he Gongsun Kang would have an excuse to do it, his father sued him before he acted, if he could not offend Yangzhou as much as possible, he would try not to offend more, and offend people to death, this back road would be extinct. So don't use a sword if Gongsun Kang can use what he says, although Gongsun Kang is very disdainful of his father's left and right. But he still has to listen to his father's words, after all, his father is not only his son, if Yang Chen refuses, then Gongsun Kang will have an excuse to use the knife.
"Sell, why not!" Yang Chen replied very simply.
"Your Excellency?" Butler Tong over there is in a hurry, aren't you selling cheaply? It's still forced by someone, even Gongsun Du doesn't dare to be so presumptuous.
Yang Chen waved his hand to stop Steward Tong, would Gongsun Du not know what was going on here? Without Gongsun Du's opening, he didn't dare to come here to be presumptuous if he gave Gongsun Kang ten dares.
"If you don't do business, that's not what we should do as a trader!" Yang Chen smiled at Gongsun Kang and said, "I just don't know Gongsun Kang Gongzi, but I know that Gongsun Kang Gongzi bought these armor weapons, and we also came with a delivery service!" ”
"Oh? What services? Although Gongsun Kang was annoyed and couldn't take the opportunity to teach Yang Chen a lesson, he was still very happy to see that Yang Chen could only sell those armors worth millions of gold.
"This service is very simple, that is, my Yangzhou army will personally show the use of these weapons and armor like the king of Liaodong and the prince, I don't know if Gongsun Kang Gongzi is ready!" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Yang Chen also has something to say, a naked threat, that is, you buy and sell forcefully, and curry favor with Cao Cao, but are you ready to go against me in Yangzhou? But are you ready to go to war with me in Yangzhou?
"Hahahaha!" Over there, Gongsun Kang suddenly laughed, he looked at Yang Chen and sneered: "This service is really good, this His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou deserves to be a good businessman, but I just don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou is a soldier from heaven and can come across this vast sea?" If you really can, then Ben Gongzi will have to wait for it! "Gongsun Kang doesn't care at all, although your Yangzhou army is strong, but so what, you and I are separated by Cao Cao's territory on land, Cao Cao can't let you cross his territory to fight Liaodong, this sea route is thousands of miles away, how many soldiers and horses can you transport to him Liaodong, this is not a home battle, it is an away battle, whether it is weapons, armor or military food, it is to be transported from Yangzhou, if you have less soldiers and horses, his Liaodong army is not a vegetarian, if there are more soldiers and horses, not to mention that Cao Cao will help him Liaodong, Let's just say that you Yangzhou has the ability to transport grain thousands of miles? So Yang Chen's threat, Gongsun Kang didn't care at all.
"Now that Gongsun Kang Gongzi knows that it is the best! Someone came to bring these pieces of gold back, open the treasury door for Gongsun Kang Gongzi, and let Gongsun Kang Gongzi choose weapons and armor. ”
"In this way, I would like to thank Chief Yang and His Royal Highness the King of Shu for their generosity, farewell! Haha! "Gongsun Kang came with soldiers and horses but returned with a full load, very proud along the way, 10,000 sets of Yangzhou new armor plus 30,000 Yangzhou new war knives, this is worth millions, so it's in hand. Can you not be happy?
"My lord, we just taught those weapons and armor like this?" Steward Tong is very unwilling, how many weapons and armor are worth, will they not know? Even if it is calculated at cost price, it is a thing of more than 100,000 gold, just gone, it is gone in their hands, can this heart not hurt? Losers can't play like this.
"What can I do if I don't hand it over?" Although Yang Chen was smiling indifferently, his heart was also like a knife, and he represented His Royal Highness the King of Shu. But now he was blackmailed and robbed by the princes of a remote and small place in Liaodong. It's a shame. But people in the west of the eaves had to bow their heads.
"Butler Tong. Let the people in the mansion get ready to pack their bags! Yang Chen said to Steward Tong.
"Huh?"
"We're leaving Liaodong!" Yang Chen said to Steward Tong, Liaodong can't stay and leave as soon as possible. "No, don't pack up, just leave, let the boat get ready on the dock!" Yang Chen inevitably had a lot of dreams, so he left as soon as possible, as for what packages and the like arrived in Yangzhou, there was nothing.
"Yes! "
"By the way, bring me that daughter too!" Yang Chen said to Steward Tong.
"Huh?" Steward Tong was stunned for a moment. I just want to leave without packing up the package, and I want to leave lightly, but I want to take this daughter with me?
"We have to keep this daughter well, this is the reward that the king of Liaodong invited us to bring from the Yangzhou army!" Yang Chen's face was gloomy, and he was about to drip water.
"Yes!"
Soon, on the sea in Liaodong, a ship with the flag of Yangzhou went along the sea and leaned against the coastline in the direction of Yangzhou.
"What do you say? Yang Chen, the general manager of Liaodong in Yangzhou, left? "Gongsun Du was waiting for the good news of his good son in his own Liaodong Palace, but he didn't expect the good news to arrive, and he waited for the news of the departure of Yang Chen, the governor of Liaodong in Yangzhou.
"Yes, my lord, the envoy of Yangzhou left on a sea ship!"
"Chase, hurry up and catch up with them!" Gongsun Du was angry and shouted to the people under his hands, who asked you to let this Yangzhou envoy leave without permission.
"Father, don't chase it. That Yang Chen has been gone for half a day, and we can't catch up if we chase down. Gongsun Kang said to his father. The warships in Liaodong are still mainly building ships, and it is difficult to catch up with those Yangzhou ships.
"Hey!" Gongsun Du sighed, he also knew that he couldn't catch up, "Someone came to me, and dragged out those people who were in charge of taking care of the Yangzhou Envoy's Mansion and cut them down for me!" Gongsun said angrily.
"Why is my father like this, it's just an envoy from Yangzhou, it's okay if he leaves, if he doesn't leave, I plan to take his head to report good news like Cao Gong!" Gongsun Kang said indifferently.
"Kang'er, you are confused, confused!" Gongsun Du shook his head and sighed bitterly, "This envoy of Yangzhou, he is Yang Chen, you don't know his identity, his father is a close minister next to Liu Mang, the king of Shu, and this Yang Hong only has such a son, as long as this Yang Chen is still in my Liaodong, this Shu king Liu Mang will not dare to act rashly, now this Yang Chen is gone, hey!" Gongsun Du regretted it, and he knew it earlier, so he sent soldiers and horses to negotiate business with Yang Chen, and then took Yang Chen under house arrest.
"Father is worried that the Dao is nothing more than that Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, will send troops to come! Why worry about it, then Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, I admit that he is very good at fighting, and all the soldiers and horses under his command are elite, but my father should not forget jì, if he wants to send soldiers and horses, he will first have to see if Cao Gong over there agrees, if he takes the waterway, it will be better, we can take the soldiers and horses of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, to show the prestige of my Liaodong! "Gongsun Kang is very confident, whether you are in the current war by water or land, you have to land, you have to land, you have come thousands of miles, the bumps on this waterway do not have to be less on the land, and there are only a few ports in Liaodong, as long as this port is blocked, what is the use of your Yangzhou army being strong.
"Perhaps!" Gongsun Du shook his head, he didn't know why, he always had a trace of worry in his heart.
"Father, it's the right thing to give that big gift to Gong Cao now!" Gongsun Kang said excitedly to Gongsun Du.
"You can arrange it yourself, I'm tired and take a rest!" Gongsun Du waved his hand at Gongsun Kang and said, these days, Gongsun Du has begun to try to delegate power and let Gongsun Kang preside over the affairs of Liaodong. This is like Cao Cao's courtiers, and it is also one of them.
"Yes!"
Cao Cao's army in the southern part of the Bohai Sea has been stationed in the city, although the people of Nanpi are still a little resistant, but after Cao Cao's army took out the grain and grass of the army and distributed it to the people, they can spend this winter in peace, and soon the people's hearts began to change in the direction of Cao Cao.
"What a life is like when you sing about wine!" Cao Cao drank his favorite Du Kang wine in the Taishou Mansion in Nanpi City, playing his musical instrument and admiring the martial arts there.
In the past, Cao Cao should be happy. Hebei took it. It can be said that he, Cao Cao, completed the unification of the entire north. More than half of his so-called great work has been completed.
But Cao Cao couldn't be happy, he only went to a close friend a few days ago, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, the former boss, Cao Cao thought he would hate him, after all, Gao Fushuai will always be the natural enemy of Dick, but after Yuan Shao died, Cao Cao found out. It turned out that he didn't hate him, on the contrary, he was very nostalgic for the days when the two of them had no guesses and supported each other.
The so-called dying man is also good in his words, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu really aroused Cao Cao's heart called friendship at the last moment.
Yuan Shao's death, and the departure of a close friend, went to Yangzhou, I don't know what he is doing now.
Cao Cao thought of Guo Jia again, Guo Fengxiao, who used to take the great cause very seriously, but after the vicissitudes of life, Cao Cao knew that if there were few confidants in life. What's the point of living this person?
"Fengxiao, I'm waiting for you to come back and sing with me!" Cao Cao took two sips of wine. As usual, I hugged the singer over there to discuss the origin of life.
He Cao Mengde has enough sons and daughters, and there are more than 20 heirs. No matter how much it is, it's not interesting, not to mention that he's too old to do it.
"Is the lord still in the mansion?" Cheng Yu also rushed over from Fan Yangcheng and asked Xu Chu over there.
"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded.
"Let's go and report, just say that Cheng Yu wants to see the lord." Cheng Yu is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, of course, this is what Cheng Yu himself said, and in fact, he also wants to be able to enter Cao Cao's room without notification like Guo Jia, which is an honor.
"Zhongde, come in quickly, just in time to have a few drinks with me!" Cao Cao learned of Cheng Yu's arrival and asked Cheng Yu to hurry in and accompany him Cao Cao to have a few drinks.
"Lord, the matter of drinking, or wait for the lord to go back to Xudu, let's not get drunk and not return, now although the lord has pacified Hebei, there are still some things to be done." Cheng Yu rejected Cao Cao's invitation and said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao shook his drunken head and sat up, Cao Cao is like this, if he wants to play, he has to have fun, but if he works, he is even more serious.
There are only two things that Cheng Yu wants to say, one of which is the trace of the Yuan family brothers, if he doesn't kill the Yuan family brothers and can't get their heads, Cao Cao can't feel at ease for a moment, because these two people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose.
Coupled with the prestige of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, these two goods are alive, and his Hebei is about to fall into turmoil again.
"My lord, according to the report of the border guard, the Yuan family brothers have already left the customs and headed for the northwest." Cheng Yu reported to Cao Cao.
"Northwest?" Cao Cao frowned, and then out of Youzhou, the northwest direction is the territory of Xianbei Karasuma, and things are not easy to do.
But if it's not easy to do, you have to do it" Yu I sent a tiger and leopard to ride, and I will definitely chase the Yuan family brothers back. "Cao Cao will not allow these two people to live, if these two people are content to divide equally, it is nothing, but the ambition of these two people is simply different from their ability.
"Tiger and leopard riding?" Cheng Yu was a little hesitant, if the tiger and leopard rode out of the customs, then there might be a misunderstanding, who were the tigers and leopards, they were the ace soldiers and horses under Cao Cao, they were out of the customs, what would those foreigners think, and thought that Cao Cao was going to send troops to exterminate them, if they were provoked by someone with a heart, then it would be a big war.
"What do they think, why should they know! Aren't there those people who understand border affairs on the side of Youzhou, tell them, my Han is to pursue these two thieves, if you dare to shield them, you will be killed! Cao Cao fully expressed the appearance of a generation of heroes.
If you want to fight, you will fight, if you stop me, I will beat you.
"If this is the case, it is not enough for the tiger and leopard to ride!" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao, it's not that the tiger and leopard riders are not elite enough, but it's really out of the customs is simply the vast sea, and thousands of miles of grasslands and deserts are really hard to find if they are really cannoned.
"How is Zhang He now?" Cao Cao suddenly asked incompatibly.
"Zhang He has been thinking behind closed doors in the mansion these days, and sometimes goes to the military camp to exercise." Cheng Yu told Cao Cao about this information.
"Okay, tell him that he has rested enough, it's time to go to the battlefield, let him continue to command the Euphorbia, ride with the tiger and leopard, take him as the master, go to the outside to find those two rebels for me!" Cao Cao knew that half of the reason why his brother Yuan Shao jumped off the city wall was because of the two rebels, so under the love house and Wuxia, Cao Cao also had the confidence that he would kill the two.
"The lord has already defected once. Will? Cheng Yu was a little skeptical. Defection. This halberd almost ruined Cao Cao's plan, if it weren't for the Yuan brothers who destroyed the city wall, maybe Hebei would be in turmoil again.
"Don't worry, no, with those two goods, it's not worth the Euphorbia to defect!" Cao Cao said disdainfully, the reason why the Euphorbia Shi defected was because of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's prestige was not comparable to those two rebels. If these two people had half of Yuan Shao's prestige, it would be impossible for him Cao Cao to take the land of Hebei Sizhou so smoothly.
"What should I do if the lord goes to camp first?" Cheng Yu asked again.
The first camp was left by Yuan Shao, after Yuan Shao hanged himself, he surrendered to the first camp, Cao Cao did not embarrass them, they just collected their weapons, went to their war horses, and put them in the barracks, and they were full of two meals a day.
For the first camp, Cao Cao's feelings are complicated, you said to disperse them, Cao Cao is really reluctant, these are all elite heavy cavalry, and even defeated the elite heavy cavalry of the white horse Congyi can be described as a trump card.
But if they don't disperse. The soldiers who had come to camp first could not contain their hearts, because they only listened to the words of three people. One is Yuan Shao, the other is Ju Yi, and the third is Wen Chou. Yuan Shao hanged himself, Ju Yi was killed by Yuan Shao, you might say that there is not a Wen Chou?
This is Cao Cao's suffering, Wen Chou is not willing to surrender to Cao Cao when he dies, and Wen Chou also has an important task, that is, to go to Guanwai to persuade or disband those foreign legions left by Yuan Shao, once these foreign legions are used by the Yuan brothers, it will be endless, if there is not such a mission, Wen Chou may have committed suicide to follow Yuan Shao.
"Lord, Xiahou Chun, Lejin Xu Huang, several generals want to be the commander of the camp first!" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.
Who doesn't like elite soldiers and horses, this first camp is not a general, even if you can't achieve the trump card if you expand it a little, it's also an elite. After the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry was killed because of Cao Chun last time, the competition for the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry almost started, and this time the first camp began again.
Cao Cao has a headache, he can't control it, so Cao Cao just doesn't care, "Let them go by themselves, whoever can convince the first camp will be the commander of the first camp." Cao Cao regretted this sentence after it was released.
Because there are people in it, Le Jin wants to rely on his talent to command the soldiers and horses to make the first camp surrender, he told the sky to break, although there are some people who do admire Le Jin very much, but most of them are big soldiers, you tell them that the art of war is useful.
Xu Huang over there was a little bit of truth, relying on force, he ran to the barracks of the first camp, put down the battle axe, claiming to fight ten, ten is not fun, to fight twenty or thirty, and finally surrounded by thirty people, he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
This is not bad, the most bastard is that Xiahou Chun, this goods, don't talk about the art of war and don't fight, this muddy person, ran to the green building in Nanpi City, invited all the hundreds of Yao sisters in the city to him, and bought a lot of pork, and brought it directly to the barracks.
This time it was boiling, and there were a few men who didn't like women, and they had already been embarrassed when they were locked up in the camp, and this meat, girl, and money suddenly made them agree to join Xiahou Chun's command.
Now Lejin and Xu Huang are gone, one of us shouted hoarse, and the other was almost not beaten to death by the group, you Xiahou Chun defeated us with a bunch of Sister Yao and pork, this is not a shame to die.
Everyone made trouble together to Cao Cao, and in the end, Cao Cao could only play fifty boards each, and Xiahou Chun was beaten, and finally got the soldiers and horses who went to camp first.
Cao Cao's two major events now, one is to hunt down and kill the Yuan brothers, and the other is the Gongsun Du of Liaodong.
It's time to settle accounts with him.
As soon as Cao Cao discussed the matter, Xiahou Chun over there was the first to actively ask to participate, because he had just taken over and wanted to fight a good battle and have a good fight.
Cao Cao also had the heart to let Xiahou Chun take the lead and hone his skills before going to the camp first.
Xiahou Chun was very angry over there, which made Le Jin and the others angry, but the things that made Le Jin and the others happy soon happened.
"Report! Gongsun Du of Liaodong sent a messenger to ask to see the prime minister! "The herald over there sent news from Liaodong, saying that Liaodong had sent an envoy to see Cao Cao.
"Nope. Missing. Hurry up and let him go back and wash his ass and wait. Grandpa's first arrival in the camp will soon be in the city, so he naturally wants him to look good! Xiahou Chun danced the most happily.
"Lord, go to the army to fight, then fight again, since this Liaodong Gongsun Du has sent a messenger, then we might as well meet us!" The Lejin interface over there. Lejin has always been known as a Confucian general.
Cao Cao nodded.
Xiahou Chun is in a hurry, if he doesn't fight, he will still play with fart." You did it on purpose! ”
As soon as Xiahou Chun's words came out, Le Jin's face darkened over there, Le Jin was indeed a little shorter, but that didn't affect Le Jin's art of war and tactics at all, but you can't say it to your face.
"Xiahou Chun!" Cao Cao was also a little dissatisfied.
"Is it meant to be? This Le Dwarf, this Le Jin, must be because I robbed him of the first camp, so I retaliated! Xiahou Chun still wanted to call Le Dwarf, but looking at Cao Cao's gloomy face, he swallowed it back.
"Xu Gongming, tell me about it. Isn't this a gift! Xiahou Chun also pulled Xu Huang up, thinking that Xu Huang was also a military general, and he must be standing on the united front with himself.
Pity. His wishful thinking was wrong, Xu Huang shook his head, "General Xiahou Chun, General Le Jin is right!" “
After finishing the calf, four people opened their mouths and three people objected, and he Xiahou Chun couldn't help it if he wanted to talk nonsense.
"Go, bring the messenger of Gongsun Du!" Cao Cao waved his hand, and soon the envoy from Gongsun Du over there was brought in.
"General Wuwei, Gongsun Kang, the captain of the Tiger Ben under the command of Liaodong Taishou, has seen Prime Minister Cao Cheng!" The people who came walked into the tent and bowed down to Cao Cao on the throne.
"General Wuwei, Liaodong Taishou?" Cheng Yu and the others played with it, this official position was given to Gongsun Du of Liaodong by Cao Cao at the beginning, but Gongsun Du of Liaodong disliked him, or he wanted to be a soil emperor, so he ignored Cao Cao and threw the seal issued to him by Cao Cao on the ground. Later, Cao Cao had no choice but to give him the title of King of Liaodong, but this Gongsun Du still did not accept it.
Now it's okay, I've got the title of General Wuwei back.
Le Jin listened to the words of Gongsun Kang over there and knew that this battle could not be fought.
"I don't know if General Wuwei's seal is okay~! I heard that the Liaodong case is smooth, and it is easy to drop the seal, so that the seal is damaged! "Over there, Cheng Yu opened his mouth to speak and mocked, isn't this asking the seal just to laugh at you, wasn't it very refreshing to break the big seal given by Cao Cao at the beginning, why is it here again now.
"Back to this adult's words, the general's father was deceived by the thief, so he didn't accept the appointment of Prime Minister Cao, but my father admired Prime Minister Cao very much in his heart, no, as soon as Prime Minister Cao arrived in Nanpi, my father sent me to ask Prime Minister Cao Cheng to come and ask for peace." Gongsun Kang also said with a sneer.
"Your name is Gongsun Kang? Is it the son of Gongsun Du? Cao Cao asked Gongsun Kang below.
"Exactly!" Gongsun Kang nodded yes.
"Why didn't the King of Liaodong do it, and now he wants to be a general of Wuwei?" Cao Cao asked.
Gongsun Kang was a little embarrassed, but he was also confident, "Prime Minister, you have a lot of adults!" ”
"Huh!" Cao Cao smiled indifferently, to fight or not to fight Gongsun Du, but it was just between Cao Cao's love, to fight Gongsun Du, Cao Cao's 300,000 troops should not be dispatched, as long as the first camp was sent as the vanguard, and then 100,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched to Liaodong, with the four continents of Hebei plus the Central Plains as the confidence, Gongsun Du was really not in Cao Cao's eyes.
"You say just sit and do it, then our father-in-law is not very faceless, hurry up and get out, his grandson dares to throw the seal of my father-in-law, let him wash his ass and wait for us!" Xiahou Chun said it very rudely, but Cao Cao didn't punish him, because this represented Cao Cao's thoughts.
You said that if you are a general of Wuwei, you will be a general of Wuwei, wasn't you very arrogant when you lost the seal, if you don't make a move, how can I teach my little brother a lesson in the future?
"There are a lot of prime ministers, my father has woken up, every time he thinks of the lard blinded by the day, he goes against the prime minister, and he hates himself in his heart, so the kid brought a gift to the prime minister to make amends, hoping that the prime minister can let my father go!" Gongsun Kang knelt down and said to Cao Cao.
"Gifts? Our lord's guild is rare for those things in your Liaodong? Joke, my lord has a lot of land, what kind of things can't be bought!? "Xiahou Chun is bent on fighting.
"In return to this general, the gift that my father asked me to bring. The general really can't be bought with money! Gongsun Kang said to Xiahou Chun.
'Tell me about it!' Cao Cao was also a little interested. He wanted to see how much money this Liaodong Gongsun Du paid to buy his head.
"Prime Minister. My father took out 15,000 pieces of armor and 30,000 swords as my father's apology, and I hope that Prime Minister Haihan will return it! Gongsun Kang said to Cao Cao over there.
"Haha, 15,000 armor, 30,000 knives, haha, what a big deal, my army has 300,000 armor and countless knives, and you are still missing 10,000 armor and 10,000 knives? Joke! Xiahou Chun laughed, and it seemed that this battle had to be fought.
"The general. What the kid brought was not just ordinary armor and knives, but sophisticated armor and knives from Yangzhou! Gongsun Kang explained to everyone.
"Yangzhou armor and war knives?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
He Cao Cao knows the swords and armor of Yangzhou very well, because in the hands of the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao has suffered a lot and won Fan Yang, the first thing they did was not to immediately hunt down the Yuan brothers, but to find these new armor and new swords, the Yuan brothers bought about 10,000 sets, that's it. However, there were only two thousand pieces of armor and thousands of war knives, and the others were either taken away by the Yuan brothers. Either it will be destroyed in the war.
Now this Gongsun Kang actually said that he had fifteen thousand such armors and thirty thousand such swords, how could he not be surprised.
"Is that true?" Even Xiahou Chun was shocked.
"It's true!" Gongsun Kang said to everyone.
"With the wealth of Liaodong, can you afford such armor and weapons?" Over there, Cheng Yu asked such a question, and everyone couldn't help nodding, this price Cao Cao also learned among the captives, the value of a new type of armor made in Yangzhou is more than 100 gold, and in the black market, it is even more than 500 gold, and this 15,000 new armor is almost more than 1 million gold, plus those war knives, the value of nearly 2 million gold.
This Liaodong Gongsun Du said that he would take it out, is Liaodong really rich? If this is the case, it is better to capture Liaodong, then this qiē is his Cao Cao's.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Gongsun Kang also thought of this, his forehead was sweating, if he couldn't explain it clearly, and hooked Cao Cao's greedy heart, then Liaodong would really be finished.
"How much do these weapons and armor cost!" Gongsun Kang said the wrong thing again in a hurry, what do you mean that there is not much money, this has reached two million gold, and it is not much money, how rich you are in Liaodong.
Gongsun Kangdu was about to cry urgently, they Liaodong had been a second-tier dealer for a long time when they were trading with the Yuan brothers in Yangzhou, but they only made hundreds of thousands of gold, and that was almost the entire net worth of Liaodong, if he could really come up with two million gold casually, his Gongsun Du would have entered the Central Plains to dominate the world, and he was rich and capricious in a word.
But the key problem is that there is no money.
"Whew!" Gongsun Kang took a deep breath and then spoke: "Prime Minister, these weapons and armor are only a thousand gold!" ”
"Daughter? A thousand gold to buy these armor and swords? Cao Cao also asked with a frown.
"Exactly!" Gongsun Kang explained how he bought these weapons and armor.
Everyone quickly understood that this Gongsun Kang crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and Yangzhou made you a lot of money by letting you be a second-class dealer, and now you dumped people all at once, not to mention it, and finally robbed it, which is really unkind.
However, such unkindness, although they despised the attitude of the Gongsun family, they were still very happy to accept the fifteen thousand new armor and swords.
Gongsun Kang was also very generous to be given a Xinyang township by Cao Cao, and even wanted to ask Gongsun Kang to go back to Xu Capital to be an official, which actually had the idea of making Gongsun Kang a hostage.
Gongsun Kang naturally wouldn't go, but in order to appease Cao Cao's heart, he worshipped a scribe under Cao Cao's command as a disciple and asked Cao Cao to take him back to Xudu.
Cao Cao thought that Gongsun Du over there was also an old age, and he might not be able to mix for a few years, so to prevent the situation in Liaodong from changing, he also allowed Gongsun Du to do this.
Cao Cao got this 15,000 new armor and 30,000 swords, the first action was to let the tiger and leopard ride the camp first and the halberd warriors to change their clothes, the three battalions of 15,000 men and horses changed into this new Yangzhou heavy armor, the defense is amazing, although it is also very heavy, but it is much better than the previous thirty or forty catties at every turn, the heavy armored cavalry generally has to travel with one person and two horses, put the sword weapon on a war horse, and then change to the armor and weapon to charge after approaching the battlefield.
The tiger and leopard rode into the camp first, and the halberd warriors were replaced with 15,000 new swords, and the remaining 15,000 were broken and scrambled. Everyone wants these armor weapons, no one is stupid, these new swords are much stronger than the old ones, but after all, they are a drop in the bucket.
In general, Cao Cao's strength suddenly rose a ladder, and those foreigners outside the fortress were going to be unlucky, and the halberd warriors and tiger and leopard riders were already marching towards the outside of the fortress under the command of Zhang He.
The mansion of Gongsun Du of Liaodong has also changed from the mansion of the king of Liaodong to the mansion of General Wuwei. (To be continued......)
