429. Assassination
Yuan Shang in the city is still waiting, Cao Cao outside the city is also waiting patiently, the reason why they are waiting, the purpose is roughly the same, but the details may have their own little Jiujiu, Yuan Shang put down a big pocket, waiting for Cao Jun to get in, four infantry combat battalions that are good at hand-to-hand combat, have already lined up in formation, as long as Cao Cao outside the city dares to wave his troops into the city, tonight's decisive battle will probably come.
Yuan Shang is waiting patiently, but Cao Cao is not in a hurry, for him, this is also good, although the elites of Cao's army are exhausted, but the most courageous tiger and leopard cavalry has been recuperating for more than an hour, such a long time, it is enough for this elite soldiers with good riding and walking to recover most of their physical strength, and they can also exert more satisfactory combat effectiveness to Cao Cao in the next battle.
What is Cao Cao waiting for, only a few people know the way, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu do not comment, Cao Ren, a simple soldier, knows it, but he does not point it out, it is always a disgraceful thing, however, it is not Cao Cao who sent someone to carry it out in person, the person in the city is more than Cao Cao can not see Yuan Shang's strength and territory is getting bigger and bigger, this land, enlarged to the entire Han territory, in the final analysis, is still their family's territory, and now it has been taken away so much by Yuan Shang, an outsider, and even the place where they live has to be taken away, The first one who couldn't sit still was definitely not Cao Cao, but those people in the city.
Those people can be Wang Rong, or a group of ministers of the old scholar clan who are unwilling to let go of the power in their hands, Cao Cao naturally knows this, what Yuan Shang did in Bingzhou, although it was not to suppress the scholar clan clearly, but it also promoted the Han family, so that the children of the Han family have the opportunity to compete with the children of the Shi clan. This. It has long been criticized by some family gates.
In this world. The most important thing is to be smart, Yuan Shang's actions are one after another, dizzying, but in the eyes of some scheming people, it is a clear sight, for Yuan Shang's ambitions, not every big clan can accept, these because of the ancestors and nobles and according to one side for hundreds to thousands of years of the prestige clan, psychology and habits. has always despised the children of the Han family, not to mention having to be an official in the same dynasty with him, and even talking at the same table, which is unacceptable to some ancient scholars, even if Yuan Shang is in the Yuan family, there are also some clansmen who have noticed some of Yuan Shang's actions, so they decisively abandoned the official and went to Jizhou to defect to Yuan Tan. There's always a mix of different ingredients, and that's why. In the end, it is inevitable that there will be discord and hatred, discord is Yuan Shang's command of several forces, each other, fierce competition, and hate him is those who claim to be superior to the first-class scholars, and Wang Rong values Fu Wan Dong Cheng and even Yang Biao, are a kind of people who refuse to accept Yuan Shang, saying that they are loyal to the Han family, but in fact, they have a small ninety-nine in their hearts, this person is selfish, these stubborn warriors who refuse to enter Yuan Shang's command and sit with the Hanmen will not let Yuan Shang enter Chang'an City.
And Wang Rong just figured out this context, took advantage of the psychological characteristics of some scholars who disliked Yuan Shang, sent people to lobby those big clans, and deliberately exaggerated Yuan Shang's sinisterness, not to mention, the effect is good, just a Chang'an City, there are more than a dozen first-class clans after weighing and investing blood, compared to Yuan Shang's uncertainty, the representatives of the old clan led by Huang Wan, Ma Riyan, Sun Rui and others are more accustomed to enjoying the essence and blood of the Han family, so it is not surprising that Wang Rong rejected Yuan Shang.
Cao Cao's understanding of the forces of all parties in the city is far better than others, the Cao family was once a member of the Han family, so he knows better than anyone else that once these clans unite to resist Yuan Shang, how powerful the combined power will be, as long as someone takes the lead, even if the sword soldiers are not moved, just that mouth is enough to make Yuan Shang speechless, this is the role of scholars and literati, not good at swordsmen, but that mouth can hurt people more than the sharpest sword in the world.
Cao Cao stretched out his index finger and gently stroked on the wheel of the chariot, the ravines were one by one and no one could see the words, and then his face was much darker, according to his heart, Cao Cao was not disgusted by what Yuan Shang did, and even greatly appreciated, after all, Yuan Shang dared to do what Cao Cao did not dare to do for the time being, to a certain extent, in fact, Yuan Shang walked the road that Cao Cao walked in history, and the two were also dissatisfied with this group of people who only knew how to eat corpses, although the scholars had more talents, However, there are still more incompetent people who only know how to oppress the good, politically high-ranking officials, monopolizing political power, economically confusing mountains and rivers, and occupying large tracts of land and labor, which is intolerable to any ruler.
It is precisely based on these that Cao Cao wantonly suppressed the power of the family in Yanzhou, but his actions were much more secretive than Yuan Shang's, and his hands were more measured, in comparison, he was much cleaner than Yuan Shang's tail, and he had not attracted the attention of some giant lords, so he did not attract all kinds of infamy because of this, and Yuan Shang was because his actions were too obvious, even simple and rude, Tian Feng, who was never afraid of offending people, was in charge, and there were more than 100,000 tigers and wolves to escort him. First of all, the strength of the family that did not obey the discipline of the state was plowed all over, and then it was the new Youzhou, a series of actions down, naturally caused an uproar in the world, and now it has reached Chang'an, the political center of the world's more powerful forces, and it is really as Pang United Front expected, so that this group of clans is the same enemy, as soon as they entered Chang'an City, they were jointly sniped by a number of clans' forces and Wang Rong, but it was also expected by Cao Cao.
"It's almost dawn."
Cao Cao glanced at the sky, the hazy light of the moon gradually dimmed, and his vision gradually became clearer, this battle, after all, is too long, the big waves and sand, some soldiers with night blindness, whether it is the Cao army or the tiger and wolf army or the Xuzhou army that fled in embarrassment, but if they can't insist on fighting in the night, most of them have been brutally eliminated, the big waves are sand, the elite is the elite, after such a big war, those who can survive, no matter which soldiers and horses, are the elite of the elite.
"It's pretty much the same."
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and his head tilted slightly, as if he was listening.
What was he listening to?
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and even Cao Ren all knew it, only Dian Wei and Xu Chu were confused, fortunately, they were not good at using their brains, and they didn't bother to bother if they didn't understand.
Chang'an City, the commotion at that moment did not escape the capture of these people.
"Did you do it?"
Cao Cao's heart shook slightly, and after a while, he glanced at Guo Jia Chengyu, and they both saw affirmation in the eyes of the two strategists.
"Into the city." Cao Cao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Cao Ren's eyes also moved slightly, and when he heard what Cao Cao said, he straightened up and responded loudly: "Oh." ”
"Tiger idiot, come, you two also go together."
"Whoa." Two burly men got out of the car and hugged their fists.
Cao Ren pulled the war horse and took a few steps away from Cao Cao's chariot, and the eight thousand tiger and leopard horsemen around him were all looking down at him, with weapons in hand, as if they were ready to fight.
Cao Ren's eyes swept over everyone's faces, although he couldn't see the specific faces, he still felt a sea-like battle intent, and Cao Ren's chest at this time was also filled with war intent.
"Kill."
With his order, eight thousand tiger and leopard cavalry rushed out and killed towards Chang'an City, with Dian Wei and Xu Chu as the vanguard, and Cao Ren in the middle army, advancing suddenly.
And at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the four battalions of the Tiger and Wolf Fierce Army under the city were almost insane, and the lord who they regarded as their spiritual pillar was assassinated under their noses, and the assassin who carried out the assassination was still hidden in the Tiger and Wolf Fierce Army, and he was not found for a whole day, which really made the soldiers of the Tiger and Wolf Fierce Army angry.
What happened to Yuan Shang?
In the dark, Guo Yuan, Xu Sheng, Bi Rail, and Pei Xiu were almost crazy, the four battalions of soldiers and horses were enough for 10,000 people, and the sound of anger resounded through the night, and the hideous faces were full of evil spirits, like fierce beasts grinding their teeth, it is conceivable that Yuan Shang was assassinated, how much stimulation was it for this group of soldiers who regarded it as their spiritual pillars.
"Daring Traitor"
"Protecting the Lord"
"Where's the lord? What about the lords? ”
A burst of angry shouts, anger filled the hearts of this group of soldiers, not only failed to make their blood boil, but made this group of soldiers who put life and death out of the way chill, such a night, Yuan Shang's life and death were full of unknowns with a scream of anger.
