Chapter 381: Guandu (15)

However, as Cao Cao's son-in-law, Liu Chuang still sent someone to send the good news to Xudu.

After Cao Cao learned that Cao Xian had given birth to a son, he did not feel any joy at all, but stayed in the study alone for a whole day.

The next day, he found Xun Yu.

"I want Zihuan to take over Guangling, what does Wen Ruo think?"

Xun Yu was also shocked when he heard the news.

Previously, Cao Cao had been preparing to summon Cao Pi back from Hailing, but he didn't know why he changed his mind when the matter was coming.

"Zihuan is in Guangling...... Isn't it too small? ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said softly: "It is said that Zihuan has also passed the age of a weak crown.

thinks that at the beginning, Liu Chuang started in Donghai County, younger than him; Sun Quan was the captain of Fengyi, and when he was in charge, he was only fifteen years old. Zihuan has been quite diligent this year, and I am also very happy. The eagle will grow up after all, and if he is always under my wings, he will never be able to become a climate. When Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, he was about the same as Zihuan. I don't believe that what his son Sun Wentai can do, my son can't do? Wen Ruo, I have made up my mind, and I will remove Zihuan as the Taishou of Guangling County. ”

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao had made up his mind, so he did not persuade again.

It's just that he still doesn't understand why this good Cao Cao suddenly changed his mind.

However, in terms of the overall situation, the appointment of Cao Pi as the Taishou of Guangling does not seem to be a big deal...... Cao Pi's ability, Xun Yu knows very well. Although he is young, he does have the ability to take charge of himself. Last year, he intervened in the battle of Guanzhong, which can only be said to be a mistake.

Young people, who doesn't make mistakes?

Although the result was a bit strict, in Xun Yu's opinion, it was really not a problem...... Who can not have a little selfishness? Cao Pi wanted to support Xiahou Mao, and it was not wrong to plan for him in the future. The only mistake was that he chose the wrong person. Xiahou Mao didn't have that ability, but he just let him sit in that key position. Thereupon...... There was a fiasco in the Battle of Wating.

Cao Cao also knows this.

After Liu Chuang put Xiahou Mao back, Cao Cao did not blame Xiahou Mao, but asked Xiahou Mao to rush to Hailing to accompany Cao Pi.

But now......

Although Xun Yu was puzzled, he still agreed.

After he said goodbye and left, Mrs. Bian walked in and asked softly, "Husband, why don't you let Zihuan come back?" ”

Cao Pi is Mrs. Bian's biological flesh and blood, and when Cao Pi was exiled to Hailing, Mrs. Bian was reluctant. It's just that she also knows that Cao Pi has caused too much trouble, and she should indeed go out to hone it. But now, Cao Cao has obviously agreed to Cao Pi's return, why did he suddenly change his mind? Mrs. Bian doesn't ask too much on weekdays, but she can't help but ask about this matter.

Originally, I thought that Cao Cao would not answer his own questions.

But to Mrs. Bian's surprise, Cao Cao motioned for her to sit down, and then said softly: "I'll write a letter in a while, and early tomorrow morning, you ask Bian Bing to go to Guangling with the letter and hand it over to Zihuan." In addition, I will let Bian Bing serve as the Taishou of Xiapi, and I will be stationed in Xiapi. In this way, he can also give Zihuan a certain amount of support, and if there is really something, the two of them can also take care of each other. ”

When Mrs. Bian heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised.

He heard a hint of foreboding from Cao Cao's words, and hurriedly asked, "Husband, isn't something wrong?" ”

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Chuang'er sent a letter, saying that Yuwa was born!" ”

"Yuwa gave birth?" Mrs. Bian was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good thing......

"Of course it's a good thing......" Cao Cao couldn't help but smile, but in an instant, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a solemn look.

"Yuwa is born, which is naturally a good thing.

But for some reason, I had a bad omen in my heart, and I always felt that something would happen...... Madam, you have a bad background, but you have followed me for many years, without complaint or regret, and I am really grateful in my heart. If an accident really happens to me, you must not hesitate to leave Xudu with your family and go to Chenliu immediately. After a while, I will have Youxue stationed in Chen Liu, he is thoughtful, and he is both civil and military, and he will definitely ensure your safety. ”

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Bian was frightened, stood up and asked in a trembling voice.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Madam, you don't have to worry either, maybe nothing. However, if something really happens, you will let Youxue take you to Chuang Er. Meng Yan and I are not a dispute of will, and we make people happy. If something happens to me, I believe Meng Yan will definitely accept you.

Yuwa gave birth to a child, as long as she is there, she can ensure that my Cao family will not be extinct.

It's just that Yuwa's mother and son are by Chuang'er's side, and they are always a little lacking in confidence. Look at the ladies in Chuang'er, which one is good at it?

The eldest lady of the elk family, with his childhood sweetheart, has a deep relationship; Zhuge is the daughter, smart and clever, and has brothers to help each other; Xun Dan is innocent, but she has the backing of the Xun family, not to mention, her relationship with the daughter of the Lu family is irreversible, which is equivalent to having the support of the Lu family...... If Yuwa gives birth to a woman, it's okay to say, but if she gives birth to a son, if she doesn't have some support, she will be bullied after all. My Cao Cao's daughter must not be bullied. If something really happens to me, then Bi will leave a force for Yuwa to help her mother and son. ”

Mrs. Bian seemed to understand what Cao Cao meant.

She looked at Cao Cao in surprise, and after a while, asked, "Husband, is it really dangerous?" ”

"I don't know, it's just ...... However, I won't throw in the towel because of that.

Hmph, it's not that easy to beat me. ”

When Cao Cao said this, he stood up.

He muttered to himself in a deep voice, but Mrs. Bian was beside her, but she showed a touch of sadness.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In October of the ninth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu was ordered to lead his troops to rush to the aid and enter Yingchuan.

Its soldiers and horses marched very quickly, reaching Yingyang in only three days...... With the arrival of Zhang Xiu, Cao Jun's morale was greatly boosted.

Not long after, Zhu Ling opened from Guangling and arrived in Runan.

For a time, Yuzhou was turbulent, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Liu Chuang did not dare to hesitate any longer when he saw that Cao Cao was constantly dispatching troops, so he ordered Zhang He to attack from Xingyang and cross the chasm to capture Yuting.

Zhang He's attack also immediately kicked off a big battle between Cao and Liu.

Cao Xiu took over Jingxian and immediately led his troops to counterattack Yuting. Jia Xu arrived in Guancheng and ordered Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Heng's brothers to garrison Longcheng and Cao Xiu to form a flanking attack. Zhang He fought to the death in Yuting and did not retreat, so that Cao's army could not advance an inch. At the same time, Liu Chuang ordered Xu Chu to be the vanguard and Fa Zheng to be the military division to attack Juan County. After Jia Xu sensed Liu Chuang's intentions, instead of sending reinforcements, he ordered the defenders of Juan County to withdraw from Juan County and camp in Yuanyongcheng. In this way, Cao Jun has managed the city as the center and formed a strong momentum with Yuanyong City and Longcheng, echoing each other. The Han army launched several attacks, but in the end they were all in vain......

Although Cao's army lost Juan County, it was actually equivalent to concentrating its forces in one place and forming a local superiority in troops.

After Liu Chuang learned the news in Xingyang, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The poisoner's plan is really powerful...... People say that he has no last resort, and when he sees it today, he deserves his name. ”

Originally, Liu Chuang didn't want to face Cao Jun so soon.

But now the situation is really compelling...... The longer it drags on, the worse it is for him.

Liu Chuang didn't want Cao Cao to make proper arrangements in Guandu, and then go to fight him to the death. Take advantage of your illness to kill you. Cao Cao was now in a moment of weakness, and it was time for a decisive battle with him. At that moment, Liu Chuang no longer waited for reinforcements transferred from Jizhou, but directly launched an attack on Guancheng. He ordered Xu Chu to be the vanguard, personally led an army of 50,000, and crossed the chasm. Zhang He covered Liu Chuang's flank in Yuting, and Gao Shun stationed troops in Juan County to contain Xiahou Shang's troops.

Seeing Liu Chuangbing approaching the city, Jia Xu was not polite.

In the first meeting between the two sides, he suddenly used the Heavenly Thunder Fire.

Cao Cao's production of Heavenly Thunder Fire was not long, so Jia Xu only invested 300 Heavenly Thunder Fire.

Before that, Liu Chuang didn't receive the slightest rumor, so that when Jia Xu used the Heavenly Thunder Fire, he was caught off guard and returned defeated.

Cao Cao, did he really develop the Heavenly Thunder Fire?

Although Liu Chuang had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he really faced this fact, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

originally thought that after Huang Ge assassinated Wang Zitai, he would delay Cao Cao's development of the Heavenly Thunder Fire...... Unexpectedly, in the end, he still smashed out the heavenly thunder fire.

In this way, the myth of Liu Chuang's attraction of heavenly thunder will be self-defeating.

After returning to the camp, Liu Chuang couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, "The unexpected joy of my father-in-law really made me suffer a big loss."

However, you are one step too late after all. If you had used the Heavenly Thunder Fire a month earlier, there might be room for manoeuvre. But now, the general trend is me, you have developed the heavenly thunder fire, what am I afraid of? ”

Liu Chuang immediately ordered the army to rest for a day.

On the third day, Liu Chuang again attacked Guancheng......

This time, Jia Xu no longer had the inventory of Tianlei Fire in his hands. The two sides fought a bloody battle under Guancheng City, and the battle was dark.

Both the Cao army and the Han army suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that he couldn't win or lose for a while, Liu Chuang ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

"Jia Wen and the old fox are guarding the city, obviously trying to delay."

Liu Chuang summoned all the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, and said in a deep voice: "He has a good calculation, if I really entangle with him here, even if I break through the city, I will suffer heavy losses."

Today, Cao Cao dispatched troops in Xudu, and Chen soldiers were in Guandu. If you delay for one more day, you will have more trouble. I want to fight quickly, but I don't know if you have a plan? ”

The generals looked at each other, but none of them stood up to speak.

At this time, a person walked out of the corner of the big tent, "Uncle Huang wants to take the city, why do you only stare at the city?"

I have a plan to make Uncle Huang break through Cao's army......"

Liu Chuang looked at it, but he recognized this person.

This person, named Yang Jun, is a recipient of Hanoi.

A few days ago, he came to Liu Chuang with Sima Fu's letter. In the letter, Sima Fu praised this person and said that he was extremely talented.

Liu Chuang ordered him to write in the book.

"Ji Cai, will Ji An?"
