Chapter 468: The "Lost" Huns
Long before Ah Niu came, Cao Cao had repeatedly considered the question of whether to send troops to Luoyang, and had already made a preliminary decision: not to go.
Cao Cao has always been very decisive, and few people can make him change his mind when deciding things, and he doesn't think that a certain city lord can convince him. Ordinary temptations and pleas could not shake Cao Cao's will, but Ah Niu did not use this method at all, but threw out the concept of "national survival", raising the war in Luoyang to such a height.
"It's just alarmist, it's okay to deceive a three-year-old child with such a statement, and when it is used on me, Zheng Aniu underestimates me too much." Cao Cao thought so, but a certain city lord's calm expression and slow words made Cao Cao believe that Ah Niu was by no means untargeted, "Let's see how he justifies himself." β
Ah Niu sighed, "Duke Cao knows that the Yellow Turbans of the world gathered in Luoyang to capture this former capital with unprecedented momentum and determination, which is very different from the previous style of the Yellow Turban Army, just to elect a leader to lead the national Yellow Turban Army to fight together, and the ultimate goal is to subvert the Han Dynasty." The first battle in Luoyang was just their first large-scale cooperation. β
"Elect the national leader?" Cao Cao's face changed.
With Cao Cao's wisdom and wisdom, he naturally understood what such an action meant. It's an unbelievable motive, but it perfectly explains why the Yellow Turbans insisted on attacking a fortified city like Luoyang.
You must know that Luoyang is not only a strong city, but after it was burned down by Dong Zhuojun, there was not much oil and water to fish in the city at all. Even if the Yellow Turban Army captured Luoyang, under the interference of the Kwantung princes and even Dong Zhuojun, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to occupy the place for a long time, and it was completely inconsistent with the style of the Yellow Turban Army to capture Luoyang at any cost with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.
The answer was found.
"Whoever attacks Luoyang first will be the national yellow turban collar, which has been confirmed from many aspects, and it is absolutely true. The biggest reason why the mighty Yellow Turban Army can't become a climate is that they don't have a coordinated organization, even when Zhang Jiao was alive, but the Yellow Turban Army has realized this, once they have a clear organizational system, can the imperial court still break them each so easily? Cao Gong still thinks that Luoyang's gains and losses are insignificant? Ah Niu said slowly.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be silent.
Even though Zhang Jiao and others have been dead for so many years, due to the fact that the living conditions of the people have still not been improved, coupled with the turmoil within the Han family, the Yellow Turban Army in the whole country is still an astronomical number, several times, more than ten times that of the imperial army. This is a powerful force, when the Yellow Turban Army coordinates operations and acts in unison, can the stormy Han family continue to steal peace?
The answer is no!
Cao Cao finally began to re-examine his decision.
Ah Niu waited without saying a word, as if nothing could make him impatient, quietly waiting for Cao Cao to think. Judging from the current situation, Ah Niu is glad that he has achieved initial success, and it is undoubtedly wise to use such a strategy to persuade Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao in history has the name of traitor and hero, he was not like this at the beginning, before Cao Cao's rise and at the beginning, he was actually just a hot-blooded man who was loyal to the Han family and worried about the survival of the country, but many people were blindfolded by Cao Cao's later treacherous and ruthless, and did not notice this side of Cao Cao.
The five-color stick, assassinated Dong Zhuo, called on the world's heroes to fight against Dong, and pursued Dong Zhuo alone at the risk of his own life...... These facts all show Cao Cao's loyalty to the Han family, and also make Cao Mengde's reputation spread far and wide at home, and he has been wholeheartedly invested by many talents. Cao Cao's selflessness during this period was enough to make Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and others embarrassed.
Cao Cao later "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, it is not understandable that he was disappointed in those princes who only cared about their own interests, so he made up his mind to sweep the ** with his own strength, Kuang Zheng Han Dynasty! Don't forget, although Cao Cao later dominated the world and unified the north, he never became emperor in his lifetime!
Such a Cao Cao naturally didn't want the Yellow Turban Army to make a comeback and let the precarious Han family suffer a fatal blow!
At this time, it was only more than two months after the end of the campaign against Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao was still in the difficult stage of struggling to survive. This is why Ah Niu persuaded Cao Cao to send troops on the grounds that the safety of the Han family was in danger.
Time is passing minute by minute, the stakes are heavy, Cao Cao is still weighing it repeatedly, Ah Niu has not forgotten that Jì should add another fire at this time, and continued:
"If Cao Gong Xingyi Army helps the war and repel the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Gong's share of the war will naturally be gained, and the specific share depends on Cao Gong's contribution. Kong Beihai's troops have already been dispatched, and it is believed that it is only a matter of time before the rest of the princes send troops to support, including Wang Kuang of Hanoi and Yuan Shu of Nanyang, and the princes have already received a letter of help from Lu Taishou, asking Cao Gong to make a decision as soon as possible. Ah Niu will rush to Luoyang to meet the soldiers who are sticking to the lonely city, the military situation is urgent, and I hope that Cao Gong will put the common people in the world first! β
"Shicai saw that the equipment of Sergeant Cao Gong outside the camp was quite poor, and after the battle in Luoyang, Ah Niu was willing to sell rhubarb crossbows, war horses, weapons and armor to Cao Gong at a more favorable price. If Cao Gong helps Feng Xiang to keep Luoyang, Ah Niu can be regarded as owing Cao Gong a favor, although Feng Xiang's strength is average, but Ah Niu will never sit idly by and watch his friend in danger but be indifferent. β
The righteousness of the world is false, weapons and war horses are affordable, and Ah Niu also vaguely said that if Cao Cao encounters difficulties in the future, Feng Xiang's troops can help him. Feng Xiang's troops had already made a name for themselves in the previous battles with the Yellow Turban Army, and Cao Cao knew Zhao Yun's strength even more, if Feng Xiang's army drew his sword to help him in the moment of life and death, it would obviously be a big help for Cao Cao!
As long as Cao Cao is willing to send troops, no matter what the victory or defeat of Luoyang is, the relationship between Feng Xiang and Cao Cao will be closer. With Cao Cao, a victorious general (by no means an undefeated general, Cao Cao has still fought a lot of defeats), it is beneficial and harmless to Feng Xiang.
Cao Cao didn't hesitate anymore, and said resolutely: "The remnants of the Yellow Turban dare to attack the old capital, if Cao Mou doesn't send troops again, won't he be ashamed of the heroes of the world?" Ah Niu rest assured, I will personally lead the army to Luoyang to relieve the siege, in terms of distance, it will take three days to reach Luoyang, I hope you can hold on until my reinforcements arrive! β
"I don't know how many troops Cao Gong is going to send?"
"Ten thousand!"
Hearing this answer, a certain city lord smiled with satisfaction, Cao Cao's current strength is only more than 20,000 people, and being able to send 10,000 troops and go into battle in person has proved Cao Cao's sincerity.
"Okay, if we can't hold Luoyang before Cao Gong arrives, Cao Gong will bring his own troops back, and Feng Xiang will still accept Cao Gong's love! However, Ah Niu hopes that the troops left behind by Cao Gong will not be idle, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is in Luoyang, and the rest are some old and weak women and children who do not have much combat effectiveness, if they can take advantage of the situation to sweep their rear, the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang may not be able to sit idly by! β
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Meng De has this intention! β
Ah Niu finally said that Cao Cao was moved, and the defense of Luoyang saw the first rays of light!
Jizhou, Makino.
A group of cavalry screams and rushes into an NPC village, and the civilians in the village panic and look for safe hiding places. It was a plunder, the NPCs in the village had experienced many times, but never once were they so panicked as they are today, and the appearance of the raiders showed at a glance that they were not Han Chinese, but the Huns, who were known for their ferocity.
Most of the NPC forces, bandits, bandits, and Yellow Turban troops of the Han nationality only grabbed some supplies and occasionally captured some strong men to expand their ranks, but the Huns were different. Of course, the Huns will also loot supplies, but the "population" is also used by them as a kind of material, of course, most of them are young and middle-aged and not too old women, as for those who are old and infirm, they will be killed directly.
This time there was a slight exception, and the Hun cavalry that stormed the village killed people, including the young men who could work for them, except for the young women who could escape from the butcher's knife, and what awaited them was another kind of torture.
Under the sabers, bows and arrows of the Hun cavalry, ordinary civilians obviously had no power to fight back, and after a while, corpses were everywhere in the village, and a smell of blood wafted in the air. Laughing Hun cavalry began to loot for belongings, and others began to drive dozens of young women from the village to one place, their eager eyes roaming back and forth over the women.
Outside the village, two Hun generals chatted as they watched the slaughter.
"My lord, it's been time since we agreed to meet Mrs. Guo."
"It's okay, aren't they going to let us get lost? Luoyang has been burned to the ground, there is no oil and water, wouldn't it be nice for us to take this opportunity to do a few more votes here! Those nasty guys are not here, and we just let go of our hands and feet, so as not to be stared at by them all the time, and it is inconvenient to imagine that we are so free today. β
"We're not going?"
"Go, why not? Regardless of our alliance with the Bai Bo Army, Feng Xiang has killed hundreds of our brothers, how can we miss such a good opportunity for revenge! Let the sons and daughters enjoy it tonight, and go to Luoyang early tomorrow morning! β
(6o votes plus more to.)
The 12ooo urging of all evils, this is the torture of the red fruit land...... (To be continued)
