Chapter 379: Leaving Goryeo
Such a thing would happen, which was completely unexpected by Cao Cao. Although Emperor Han Xian is said to be cowardly and easy to threaten, this person is also really greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not do such a suicide.
But it still happened, it can only be said that there is an external force to guide it, and I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can do such a thing, and Zhang Chao is indeed one of them.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that only Zhang Chao has such a motive.
Cao Cao didn't know how Zhang Chao did it, but the result was already out, which couldn't help but make him thunderous.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is Cao Cao's greatest reliance.
Whether it is to order the princes by the Son of Heaven, or to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it can allow him to take advantage of the advantages and morality in the battle of the princes.
But now, this trump card is gone, and Cao Cao's strength is naturally a big loss, how can this not make him angry.
Enraged, Cao Cao launched an attack on Luoyang. But it was indeed defeated by Guo Jia's army that had been prepared for a long time. Cao Cao, who couldn't enter for a while, had to lead his troops back to Xudu.
In the hall of Xudu, everyone had a sad face, and it was obvious that the emperor's death was an extremely serious blow to both the Cao family and the royalist faction.
"This matter must have been done by Zhang Zhiyuan, we can tell the world and raise the whole country to fight against it." General Xiahoudun said with an angry face.
As a powerful general under Cao Cao, he naturally knew how much the existence of Emperor Han Xian helped the lord, and now that he was dead, the loss was so huge, if he didn't do anything, how could he swallow this breath.
"Prime Minister. Why don't you set up an emperor? At this time, Wen Chen suggested again.
"It's not easy to operate." The chief military advisor Xi Zhicai really shook his head and said: "Emperor Han Xian has no heirs, and setting up a random person can only give them an excuse to do something to us." ”
Xi Zhicai knows very well that whether this matter is done by Zhang Chao or others, they have lost the reliance of this Fengtianzi. If the emperor is forcibly established now, I am afraid that he will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Don't talk about it, just say that Liu Bei, who is known as the emperor's uncle and has occupied Jingzhou, will be the first to jump out and deny it. This is a person with ambition to be the emperor, how can he agree with others to be the emperor surnamed Liu?
Cao Cao knew that what Xi Zhicai said was correct. This also made him still have that trace of thought, and he couldn't fade a lot, and then said: "Forget it, the emperor is not here, we are as good as other princes, but I am suffering from Zhicai, I will find you a famous doctor immediately." ”
The reason why Cao Cao said this was because Zhang Zhongjing, who was known as the imperial doctor, also disappeared with the death of Emperor Han Xian, which was also something that made him extremely distressed.
Xi Zhicai's health has always been bad, if it weren't for this person's constant healing, I'm afraid he wouldn't have lived to the present. And this person is gone, which is clearly about to cut off one of his arms.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but hate Zhang Chao. I really didn't expect that when he was dealing with the great enemy of the Rus' Kingdom, he would still have the heart to calculate himself.
It was precisely because he didn't expect Zhang Chao to have time to deal with himself that he made the family take advantage of the loophole, and now it seems that he was careless after all.
"It's fine." Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile. Of course, he is very clear about his body, if it weren't for Zhang Zhongjing, I'm afraid that his life would have been gone. Now this person suddenly disappeared, most of which was also Zhang Chao's handiwork, but at this time, he also knew that there was absolutely no hope to find someone to ask for it, so everything depends on the will of God.
After talking to Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao said to his generals: "Order, all the armies are ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies, and at the same time prepare for the emperor's funeral and welcome the arrival of the princes." ”
When he said the last sentence, Cao Cao almost gritted his teeth and said. As soon as the emperor died, the princes as courtiers should come to the funeral, and as the host, he still needs to be well received, but he really doesn't know if anything will happen next, all he can do is to do his best to prepare for everything.
Zhang Chao had just repelled the army of the Rus' kingdom and captured Lev, one of the five generals, and was now negotiating with him. As soon as this matter was reported back to the Central Plains, it immediately caused an uproar, obviously no one expected the ending to be like this, in this way, this Zhang Chao even the powerful Ross did not refuse, such a person is really not easy to deal with.
It's just that the impact of this incident was quickly washed away by the death of Emperor Han Xian. The death of the emperor is a big deal for the princes, relatively speaking, the war with the alien race is only Zhang Chao's own business.
The emperor died, and according to the ancestral system, the herdsmen and generals stationed outside were going to come to mourn as a sign of respect and remembrance. If you don't come, you will be regarded as an anti-minister.
Although the current Han family has long been disintegrated, no one wants to bear this charge of being an anti-minister, for this reason, as soon as this incident happened, all the princes were thinking about who to bring to the funeral.
As one of the princes and a general personally appointed by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Chao is also not exempt from vulgarity. Although he knew that this was just a situation, he really had to go on this trip, otherwise, I am afraid that the spitting stars of the world's scholars would not be so easy to deal with.
Of course, the most important thing is that as soon as the emperor dies, the situation in the world has changed greatly, if Zhang Chao can't go, he can't get first-hand information for the first time, which will have a lot of changes for the future, and if he doesn't go, it is conceivable that someone will make a fuss about it, once the princes who go to reach a consensus, I am afraid that it will not be the four princes to deal with him, such a result is obviously what he does not want to see. He has to go, to break the game, to deter, to let some people's ideas fall short.
The new imperial city of Goryeo, Marukdu.
In the inner palace of the imperial city, Zhang Chao sat high above, and below was Zhao Yun and Pu Zhenli.
"Zilong, you and Zhang Qiang have to communicate more about Ross, if the other party's attitude changes, Lev and his 100,000 prisoners can be released, of course, what kind of compensation is needed at that time, you can do it yourself." Looking at Zhao Yun, Zhang Chao was preparing to leave after that.
"Don't worry, the cloud will do a good job." Zhao Yun replied with his fists clenched. This time, Zhang Chao was going to mourn Emperor Han Xian, and he was going to leave Goryeo. And when he left, he left behind the 100,000 cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, and with this as a support, he was confident that he would defend this place.
"Hmm." Zhang Chao nodded his head. If he wanted to say that Zhao Yun was still relieved to do things, he turned his gaze to Park Zhenli and said, "Mrs. Zhao, do you have anything here?" ”
Park Zhenli looked up at Zhang Chao, and this time the battle of Goryeo had a huge shock to her. She also saw Zhang Chao's strength, especially the martial arts of the generals under her command, which opened her eyes. And as far as she knows, this is only a part of the general's strength, and she really can't imagine that if it is all used against one person, at least their Goryeo Kingdom will definitely not be its opponent, even if it is in its heyday.
In this way, she has a different respect for Zhang Chao. Seeing that this person asked about himself, he lowered his head slightly, and then replied slowly, "General, if I can, I would like to meet Sister Lu Fei, and talk about the experience of taking care of my husband." ”
As soon as Park Zhenli's words fell, Zhao Yun on the side turned a little ugly. Although he married a new wife on the orders of the lord, he was still sorry for Lu Fei, and he didn't even know what to do when they met next time.
Seeing Zhao Yun's embarrassment, Zhang Chao immediately smiled and said, "Okay, even if Mrs. Zhao has this idea, I will naturally be satisfied." In this case, I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, Zhang Chao also winked at Zhao Yun intentionally. This made the general's face even redder.
After the affairs of Goryeo were arranged, Zhang Chao set off with the army.
This time, Zhang Chao was accompanied by Jinyang, including 3,000 Zhangjia troops, 30,000 generals of the 2nd Army, and the Pingyi Army led by Zhang Liao.
This legion that pacified the alien races made great contributions in this battle, and Zhang Chao organized it into the Seventh Legion, and Zhang Liao was naturally qualified for the position of commander of the legion.
With these 200,000 troops, Zhang Chao's confidence has also become much more sufficient, which is also more secure for the safety of going to Xudu for funerals in the future.
With a large army, the team marched from Goryeo to Jinyang City.
And along the way, Zhang Chao is not alone, with Sun Shangxiang such a "pistachio" by his side, he can't be lonely if he wants to.
The affairs of Goryeo have a good result, and Zhang Chao is in a good mood. For some of the questions asked by Sun Shangxiang, he had to answer them, especially some of the jokes he brought later that would rot the streets in later generations to this woman, which made her giggle all the time.
In such an atmosphere, the relationship between the two is also rising rapidly, and when no one is around, they will hold hands together, and even things like connecting 0 kisses have been done, but they are just the last step away.
It's not that Sun Shangxiang is unwilling, but Zhang Chao wants to tell Sun Jian about it, and then salute, after all, this is his own woman, and he has to give her enough respect.
The army walked for nearly twenty days before returning to Jinyang City.
Seeing the walls of Jinyang City from afar, Sun Shangxiang's face became nervous, she would not forget that there were still five ladies waiting for her here. Especially the eldest lady Cai Yan, who is a woman who moves the world, and her background is also excellent. And the second lady Bai Tong is extremely smart, and she has always been close to Zhang Zhiyuan, and the relationship is difficult to shake.
