Chapter 422: Stability in the Rear

"Kill them all!"

Zhang Liao looked at the group of bound people in front of him, just glanced at it coldly, and then ordered directly without hesitation.

However, although the order was given, the soldiers behind Zhang Liao did not move, and they knew that this order was not given to them.

This order was given to the grassland men next to him, and according to Wei Tao's order, he wanted them to personally understand these people.

Once this is the case, these people can only really devote themselves to the Han nationality according to Wei Tao's orders, and no matter how they kill the people of their own nationality, it is impossible to continue to survive among the clan.

Obviously, these people are very hesitant, but no matter how hesitant they are, there is a limit, and soon some people gritted their teeth fiercely, and took the given knife to slash at a person's head.

Suddenly, the sound of scolding suddenly became a whole, and when the man saw this, his heart became even more ruthless, and after killing one person, he directly wanted to kill the other person without saying a word.

"Pass on the order of the Son of Heaven, but anyone who pre-enters my Han must kill such traitors, and if you don't do it, isn't it also a traitor?"

At this moment, Zhang Liao smiled coldly and said.

As soon as they heard this, those people immediately knew that it was impossible not to do it, and they did it one after another, and after less than a moment, these people were all killed and destroyed.

"Excellent! You can use this merit in exchange for my Han status, but this is only for you, if you want your wife and children to have this opportunity, then you have to work harder. Now I want to form a wolf guard, do you want to join? ”

After all the captives were killed, Zhang Liao spoke leisurely.

"I'm willing!"

Above the steppe. Mounted as a soldier. Dismount for the people, although it is a bit exaggerated, but in fact it is not unreasonable, these are high-quality soldiers.

Now that he has completely made up his mind, he naturally does not hesitate.

"Good!"

Zhang Liao smiled slightly, but he was satisfied in his heart, he naturally knew that all the soldiers in the army he was ordered to form were such 'Han people'. However, the generals are the real Han people.

But this is not the most important, the important thing is to treat everyone equally, every general knows that they should be treated as real Han Chinese.

In this comparison, even if there are people with different hearts, in the end, their hearts return to the Han people.

It's not just Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Xu Huangmo didn't act like this according to Wei Tao's order, so at the beginning, it was indeed that there were more foreign enemies, and even Zhang Liao and other generals could only rely on better equipment and military discipline to stalemate with them.

But now, in just a few days, it has been completely reversed. Many people chose to vote for the 'Han', and even many people surrendered before the battle.

After all, what Wei Tao did in the past. It's not unreasonable, the strength of the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty has long been engraved in the hearts of these grassland people.

Therefore, during this period of time, the good news was passed to Wei Tao again and again, so that Wei Tao was never able to win Cao Cao's mood and was much more relaxed.

Now that the expected March period has passed halfway, Wei Tao and Cao Cao are indeed seriously injured, and the total number of dead on both sides is already 20,000 or 30,000, not to mention the injured.

If it weren't for the fact that the preparations of both sides were indeed very complete, I am afraid that this result would have been even stricter.

"Alas...... What does it take to win this battle? ”

Wei Tao rubbed his eyebrows, although the news of those foreign tribes made Wei Tao's heart feel a little more comfortable, but the current situation still made Wei Tao feel a headache.

After thinking about it, Wei Tao still found Zhou Yu and other advisers again, and then asked directly.

"Gongjin, some time ago you said you had a plan, I don't know what happened now?"

Wei Tao's question was indeed very direct, he was not afraid that Zhou Yu and the others would lie, but in the past few days, Wei Tao still couldn't see that they had done anything special, and he was a little curious in his heart.

"Qi Yu Your Majesty, now Cao Cao is in the middle of the army, but among them is mainly two major advisers, one is Sima Yi, this person has also fought with our army, it is indeed very powerful, and the other is Yang Xiu, this person's strategy is also extraordinary, but he is quite arrogant."

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Zhou Yu could no longer conceal it, and said slowly to Wei Tao with a slight arch.

"That Sima Yi is calm, scheming and ruthless, it is difficult to make a plan, but Yang Xiu is different, especially after our army seems to have used tricks a few times recently, he is even more proud. If our army can take advantage of this, not to mention that it can take advantage of this to defeat Cao's army, but it is possible for our army to gain the upper hand. ”

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”

Wei Tao's eyes lit up slightly, at this time, if he can gain the upper hand, then it is naturally very likely to win the final victory, so Wei Tao can't care about it.

"Your Majesty, that Yang Xiu is arrogant, and now Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi has a very good relationship, and he doesn't put the rest of the people in his eyes, especially that Sima Yi, who has never seen it."

Zhou Yu replied with a slight smile.

"If you want to take it, you must give it first, so our army should create an opportunity to let Yang Xiu move, and with that Yang Xiu's temperament, he must want to make meritorious contributions with this. But Sima Yi is cautious and suspicious, and he must not allow it. In the end, Cao Cao must have made a decision, and Cao Cao's suspicious and cautious intentions will definitely not be adopted lightly. In this way, how could Yang Xiu be convinced? The meaning of autonomy must also be born! ”

In this life, Cao Cao's two best sons, Cao Ang and Cao Pi, both died when they were defeated in Jiangdong in the past, and although his son Cao Zhang inherited Cao Cao's ambition to expel foreign races and return the Han people to a bright future, he made it clear early that he only wanted to be a general.

As a result, Cao Zhi, a talented man with eight buckets, can be said to have become Cao Cao's heir.

As for Cao Chong, although Cao Chong was a young child at this time, he was actually only seven or eight years old, and it was impossible for him to be an heir.

At first, Wei Tao didn't quite understand what Zhou Yu meant, but in the end, he thought clearly.

"What Gong Jin means is that Yang Xiu will find Cao Zhi? Yes, it is indeed impossible for Yang Xiu himself to mobilize Cao Jun, and he must rely on Cao Zhi. However, although Cao Zhi has been established as the heir by Cao Cao, as far as I know, he has not explicitly stated that he has been granted military power by Cao Cao, unless he forcibly transfers troops as the heir, but if he does so, it will be successful, but if it fails, his position may also be unstable. ”

Wei Tao's words were a little suspicious, and he just opened his mouth directly.

"If so, then Cao Zhi will also do something? With the consolidation of its position, why be so reckless? And in the midst of such a war? ”

What Wei Tao said was naturally reasonable, but obviously Zhou Yu and the others had already thought about it, and at this time, they all smiled slightly, and then heard Zhou Yu answer.

"Majesty, as the so-called: people gather by like, and things are divided by groups. That Yang Xiu's nature is to be conceited that his talents are extraordinary, and Cao Zhi will be friends with him, so you can know what his temperament is, and he is also conceited that his talents are extraordinary. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Although he is indeed a real talent, we can't help but be impressed by the beauty of the articles he makes. But how can such talent be compared with the war in the army? Although he has his talent and learning, but how much can he say above this kind of military affairs, he must listen to it and believe it, plus Yang Xiuzhi's talent has been recognized, as long as he wants to do something, he must obey it. We know that although this Cao Zhi is recognized by Cao Cao, he actually does not have much merit, and other people may not be recognized! ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, others may not understand, but Wei Tao has already understood.

Cao Cao is indeed extraordinary, but because of this, if you want to inherit Cao Cao's foundation, you naturally have to have extraordinary deeds.

But that Cao Zhi so far, although he is famous all over the world, but he has no actual record, maybe those ministers don't care, but those generals care very much.

Even if he didn't dare to say it in person, there must be a lot of words behind him, so the pressure on Cao Zhi himself must be not small.

In addition, the more arrogant and conceited people are, the more they want to prove themselves, then it is indeed very likely that they really follow what Yang Xiu said and act recklessly.

"It's very likely."

After thinking for a while, Wei Tao nodded slightly, which was considered to approve the ideas of Zhou Yu and others, but Wei Tao still had a little hesitation in his heart.

"There is naturally nothing else in this matter, but although Yang Xiu is arrogant and conceited, his talent is indeed extraordinary, otherwise it would not be possible to be one of the several great strategists under Cao Cao at this time with Sima Yi. I'm afraid I won't take it lightly, I don't know what Gong Jinru and the others are planning? ”

"I heard that there is news from the north recently?"

Zhou Yu smiled and asked, Zhou Yu and the others naturally knew about the news from the north, so Wei Tao nodded and replied directly.

"Yes, Zhang Liao and the others still wrote to say that they have gradually subdued the people of those tribes as I said. Speaking of which, after this incident, I am afraid that the last backbone of those ethnic groups has been bent, and it is impossible to resist in the future, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely integrated into my Central Plains Han Dynasty. ”

When Wei Tao mentioned this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, he was reborn once, for Wei Tao, this was the thing he was most proud of.

It is almost certain that the Wuhu Rebellion will not happen, and even with the gradual deepening of Wei Tao's strategy, it is more likely that those alien races who would not obey the Han will be integrated into it, further enhancing the strength of the Han nation, and then gradually opening up outward.

How can this make Wei Tao unhappy?

"That's exactly what happened. However, although our army knows about this matter, the Cao army does not know. For such an unknown situation, maybe Cao Cao and Sima Yi were unmoved, but how could Yang Xiu not be moved? ”

Zhou Yu smiled at this time and said, this game is not only him, but also other strategists under Wei Tao, who have been arranged together for a long time. (To be continued......)
