Chapter 341: Tanka Xing (3)
Xun Youjia Xu listened to it on the side, and couldn't help frowning.
To be honest, the current decisive battle with Liu Chuang in Anping Country is definitely not the best policy.
The geographical location of Anping Kingdom doomed him to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to concentrate his forces.
With Xun You and Jia Xu's thoughts, the best way at this time is to give up Xindu, abandon Anping, and retreat to Julu...... In this way, Cao Cao will be able to have a support behind him, and he will be able to give full play to his advantages in military strength, and he will be invincible.
But the problem is that Cao Cao is crazy at this time!
If he wants to avenge Lejin, it is impossible for him to withdraw from Anping Kingdom.
Xun You and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and the two looked towards Cao Peng again, but saw that Cao Peng's face also showed a touch of unspeakable worry.
"Lord ......"
Xun You was bold and wanted to come forward to persuade him.
As soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Cao Cao.
"Gong Daxiu wants to persuade me again, I have made up my mind, I will not kill Chuang Er, and I will not withdraw the army."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the end of April of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao's army went north and stationed in Jianjin City.
Liu Chuang obeyed Zhuge Liang's Jianyì and stationed in Guanjin, with a total of more than 100,000 troops on both sides, confronting each other with Anpingguo.
Early in the morning, it started to rain
The arrival of this rain more or less alleviated the scorching heat in Guanjin.
Rainy and foggy, Liu Chuang led Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Yu and Dong Li, under the protection of Tai Shixiang and Fei Xiongwei, from Guanjin City to explore the terrain.
Liu Chuang did not ride a horse. Instead, it stands on a light car.
Dong Li stood behind him. Holding a yellow umbrella in one hand. Shelter the rain for Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang's occupation of Guanjin is equivalent to being invincible.
Especially after Shi Jian led his troops to enter Gonggao, Liu Chuang was equivalent to connecting the Anping River and Zhongshan as a whole.
Liu Chuang returned to Liaoxi this time and transferred Shi Jian from Liaoxi to come.
Nowadays, the situation in Liaodong is becoming more and more stable, especially with the improvement of Liu Chuang's shipping capacity, the Elk family has also increased the recruitment of displaced people in the Central Plains. In the past two years, the population of western Liaoning alone has increased by nearly 100,000. The number of Han people in western Liaoning reached as much as 270,000, which was more than three times higher than when Liu Chuang first arrived in western Liaoning in the fourth year of Jian'an; The population of Liaodong County has increased to 500,000; The population of Xuansu County increased from 45,000 in the fourth year of Jian'an to 80,000; Lelang County has grown from 250,000 to 360,000 today...... In other words, the number of Han people in Liaodong has doubled in the past few years.
With such a huge population, there is no pressure on the five counties of Liaodong.
The increase in the population of Hermes-Epitek. This brought Liu Chuang's reign in Liaodong to a peak.
The surrender of Goguryeo and the Korean Peninsula also gave Liu Chuang prestige in Liaodong. No one can compete with it.
Million Karasuma?
It has been demolished.
The eastern Xianbei was defeated, Yan Liyou was killed in battle, where did the Karasuma people dare to cause trouble in front of Liu Chuang?
This also accelerated the naturalization of Liaodong a lot, and in two years, a total of nearly 300,000 Karasuma people were naturalized, which further strengthened Liu Chuang's rule.
In this case, it no longer makes sense for Shi Lian to continue to stay in Liaoxi.
After consulting with him, Liu Chuang transferred him from western Liaoning and stationed him in Hejian......
The three cities, not far from each other, are like snakes in the mountains.
After Liu Chuang inspected the terrain of Guanjin, he prepared to return. At this moment, he suddenly heard Zhuge Liang shouting softly.
"Lord, look."
Following the direction of Zhuge Liang's finger, in the hazy rain and fog, Liu Chuang saw a group of people.
It was about six or seven hundred meters away from him, and he recognized it as Cao Cao at a glance when he looked at the banner......
As soon as his heart moved, Liu Chuang suddenly had a thought in his heart: Rush over now and kill Cao Cao, then Cao Wei will definitely collapse without a fight.
But this thought only flashed in his heart.
If Cao Cao is so easy to kill, he will not be Cao Cao!
If he dared to come out, how could he be defenseless? Although the two sides have become inseparable, they are still restrained before the real war.
What's more, if Cao Cao is killed at this time, who will be cheaper?
Cao Cao's subordinates will frantically retaliate against Liu Chuang...... It is even more impossible for Liu Chuang to take over all of Cao Cao's forces at once. At that time, it will only be possible to cheapen Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Liu Chuang would not do such a thing! Although Cao Cao was difficult to deal with, it was better than letting Liu Bei and Sun Quan and others benefit. Even if Lao Tzu died in the hands of Cao Cao, he would never let Liu Bei and Sun Quan watch the excitement from the sidelines......
In the distance, Cao Cao's men and horses also stopped, apparently discovering Liu Chuang.
It can be seen that Cao Cao is actually quite entangled.
But in the end, he endured it and didn't come to trouble Liu Chuang. However, after a while, I saw a horse galloping towards and stopped about forty or fifty meters away from Liu Chuang.
"Front, but Uncle Liuhuang?"
"Exactly."
"My lord, please tell me."
"My lord, don't be fooled."
Lu Yu hurriedly stopped, but saw Liu Chuang smile slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of?" What danger can I have when I go to see my father-in-law? β
As he spoke, Liu Chuang shook the reins, and the light car roared out.
Dong Li stood behind him, not moving at all, holding the Huang Luo umbrella firmly with one hand.
When Liu Chuang arrived in front of the Cao general's horse, he smiled slightly, "Wen Lie, don't come unharmed." β
This Cao general is none other than the Cao family's Qianliju, Cao Xiu and Cao Wenlie.
When he was in Xudu, Liu Chuang once met Cao Xiu, and the relationship between the two was not bad.
When Sima Fang designed to assassinate Liu Chuang, it was Cao Xiu who was the first to see; In the later conflicts, Cao Xiu also came forward to deal with them.
It's just that the prisoners of the year are now the princes who can compete with Cao Cao.
Liu Chuang is still Liu Chuang, but the feeling he brought to Cao Xiu is very different from back then.
Seeing Liu Chuang speak, Cao Xiu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Uncle Lao Huang is worried, and Hugh is okay." β
The relationship between Liu Chuang and Lao Cao's family is actually quite complicated. He is the son-in-law of the old Cao family. At the same time, he also has a lot of friendship with some Cao second generations. But. He and Cao Cao were on the same page. It is difficult to mediate. In this case, whether it is Liu Chuang or Cao Xiu, they don't know what to say.
Cao Cao rode his horse and marched out of the procession.
He only brought two people with him, accompanied by guards.
"Meng Yan, don't come unharmed."
When he saw Liu Chuang, Cao Cao did not have the same anger as he had when he saw Le Jin's corpse before. Rather, it gives a sense of politeness.
Liu Chuang reined in the horse and threw his hand to the ground on the light car, "Break to see your father-in-law." β
In any case, Cao Cao is his father-in-law, and Liu Chuang has to fulfill the etiquette between the elder and the young. Even if he and Cao Cao turn around and want you to live or die, but now, he and Cao Cao are indeed calm. Even in Liu Chuang's heart, he still has some admiration for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was riding on a horse, and he still seemed to be a head lower than Liu Chuang.
He looked Liu Chuang up and down. There was a strange color in his eyes.
Previously, when Liu Chuang was in Xudu. Although Cao Cao valued him, to be honest, he didn't really communicate with Liu Chuang.
Now Liu Chuang has become a prince who can compete with him, which also makes Cao Cao suddenly have a strange feeling in his heart when he sees him again.
This is his son-in-law, and his mortal enemy!
"The Taishi chair you sent is excellent."
Liu Chuang smiled: "If my father-in-law thinks it's good, then I'll be satisfied." β
"The saddle you designed is also excellent."
The saddle and stirrups were specially given to Cao Cao as gifts when Liu Chuang left Xu Du in order to help Cao Cao fight against Yuan Shao. Nowadays, saddles and stirrups have become widespread, and even Sun Quan of Jiangdong has begun to equip them. It's just that when Cao Cao said this, it was quite strange. Liu Chuang didn't know how to interface for a while, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "If you think it's good, it's naturally good." β
"Yuwa, are you okay?"
"She's nice ......"
"Why have you been married for so many years, but there is no movement?"
At this time, Cao Cao was not like the generation of male lords who 'ruled the world and were traitors in troubled times', but more like an elder who was talking to the younger generation.
Liu Chuang was a little surprised, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: You say that everyone is like a beast like you?
Your daughter was only twelve years old when she married me, how could you make me so ruthless as to attack her?
"Hurry up and have a child, and you can have more luck."
"Remember the teachings of my father-in-law......"
"Meng Yan, do you know what I regret the most?"
"Huh?"
"When you arrived in Xudu back then, I really shouldn't have been merciful and killed you directly, maybe I wouldn't have so many troubles now."
Liu Chuang also smiled.
That's right, this is the courage that Prime Minister Cao Cheng should have.
"If my father-in-law kills me at that time, then your grandson will have no father in the future."
When Cao Cao heard this, he raised his horsewhip and pointed at Liu Chuang with a smile: "You guy, you are thick-skinned, as if without you, no one wants my daughter." β
But your four daughters, except for the eldest daughter who married Xiahou Nan, the other three are all miserable for a lifetime.
Liu Chuang didn't defend himself, he laughed.
The two of them were talking and laughing here, which also made the two people who followed behind Cao Cao relax their vigilance.
"I heard that you can compose poetry?"
"Huh?"
"I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, I think of the world and the world, and I cry alone.
At such a young age, where did there be so much sorrow and loneliness...... The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and when he stood up to the sky and the earth, holding a three-foot green front, he was right to create an immortal career. In contrast, I prefer your song "Watching the Sea". The stars are splendid, if out of it, the song is singing, fortunately even ah. This is the bearing of a husband...... Speaking of which, some time ago, I also wrote a poem, and I was thinking about singing harmony. I thought you didn't know how to learn, but I didn't want to...... Today is just right, so I will sing peace with you and help me correct it. β
Do you want to sing and poetry with me?
You, Cao Cao, aren't you bullying people!
You are the founder of Jian'an's literary style, I ......
However, since it has come to this, it is impossible for Liu Chuang to back down.
To put it mildly, this is also a confrontation between him and Cao Cao, a duel, and a battle in which Daoguang Jian can't be seen.
"I wish to hear the master's masterpiece!"
Cao Cao smiled slightly, closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, and suddenly sang loudly.
"Zhou Xi Bohou, cherish this holy virtue. There are three parts of the world, and there are two of them.
Cultivation contributions, ministers are not honored. Chonghou slandered him, and he was restrained.
Later, he saw the forgiveness of the original, and gave him the axe, so that he could conquer. As Zhong Ni said, he reached virtue, served Yin, and talked about its beauty.
Qi Huan's work is the head of the hegemon. The princes of Jiuhe, the world is a Kuang. One Kuang world, not with military vehicles. Righteous but not bad, its virtue is said.
Confucius sighed and called Yiwu. The people received his grace and gave temples to the king of heaven.
Xiaobai didn't dare, Tianwei was close at hand. Jin Wen is also a tyrant, bowing to the king of heaven.
Received a Gui Zhan and a bow. There are thousands of bows and arrows, and there are 300 tigers.
Obey the princes, and be respected by the teacher. Heard from all directions, the name is Yaqi Huan. The meeting of Heyang, falsely called the king of Zhou, is its name. (To be continued......)
