Chapter 401: Beating Cao Hong

Each embroidered to listen to the sect. Sighed and asked! "Wenhe, this is Guo Jiashi's quotation"

Jia Xu nodded calmly, and then said: "Don't worry, my lord, Guo Jia is certainly powerful, but this plan is just to delay time, and I don't have much certainty." First Cao Cao must defeat Yuan Shao before the autumn harvest This strategy is feasible, if it is the autumn harvest. Chang'an's granary is gradually abundant, and this strategy is useless. Moreover, although the lord was limited by grain and grass, the army could not pour out of the nest, but once Yuan Shao was defeated, the lord could recover the part of Hanoi County occupied by Yuan Shao even with part of the army. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "In this way, Guo Jia's intention in this strategy is to make the lord unable to attack Yizhou in a short period of time and reap the benefits of the fisherman. However, even if Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao. However, with Yuan Shao's strong strength, it is not feasible to annex the four states in a short period of time, and Guo Jia's strategy is just to reserve a hand to guard against the lord. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, stared at him, and said, "Since this is the case, let's use a two-pronged strategy." Tomorrow morning to discuss the detailed military situation, the general will personally lead the troops to attack Yizhou. ”

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he let everyone disperse.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Xiu called all the civil and military forces to discuss the matter of sending troops to Yizhou.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Xiu cleared his throat on the main seat, and then slowly explained in detail the three routes of attacking Yizhou that had been discussed last night, and added another sentence at the end: "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Yun heard this, but asked: "The lord and all the gentlemen have calculated that Cao Cao can win this time, but Yuan Shao's side is strong, I don't know if there is a chance to win, you must know that Yuan Shao's command is also full of talents, if he is allowed to catch the fighter, our army will be ready to send troops to help Cao Cao." ”

Fa Zheng heard this, and replied after coughing: "Yuan Shao has actually missed many fighters earlier. In the middle of last year, Yuan Shao had already exterminated Gongsun Zhan, when Cao Cao was busy exterminating Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, if Yuan Shao dared to boldly send troops across the Yellow River to attack Xuchang with thunderous momentum, he could have won a great victory, but he began to worry about our army and other situations, did not dare to move lightly, and missed a great opportunity. It was unwise to prepare for the southern expedition when he learned that our army would not help Cao Cao and hurriedly prepared for the expedition, the army had only rested for a few months, the tired division had not yet recovered, and Cao Cao had not revealed any flaws. If he is willing to recuperate for a few years. Taking advantage of the fact that when our army attacked Yizhou, the forces of the four states were combined to forcibly take the Central Plains, and Cao Cao was bound to be defeated. Missed the opportunity and sent troops at the worst time, if Cao Cao can seize the opportunity, "he will be able to defeat Yuan Shao, even if Cao Cao can't defeat Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will also return in vain, so I think there is no need to worry too much about Yuan Shao, of course, prevention is also necessary, after all, no one can predict when the victory or defeat is not really distinguished."

The generals with Zhao Yun heard it and nodded knowingly.

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Since you have no objections, then after the beginning of spring, Ben will personally lead 30,000 Pofeng battalions and 3,000 blood blade battalions into Hanzhong, Han Sheng, Ziyi, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, Xu Shang, and Lu Jian will go out with the army, and Xiaozhi and Cheng Gongying will be the military advisors of the army. Zilong guards Chang'an for Shuai, and Meng Qi and Ling Ming assist Zilong a lot. When the war between Yuan and Cao changes, immediately send troops to take Hanoi, and the three of you will discuss this matter with Wen He. If you send troops to Hanoi, Gongtai and Yishan will serve as military divisions with the army, Zilong, you have to listen to Gongtai more, as for the affairs of the division and the supply of food and grass for the army, it will be hard work

Everyone nodded in unison. He replied loudly, "No."

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "Xingba, you are from Ba County, and you will fight in Hanzhong with the general's army. The navy was temporarily handed over to the command of Zhong Miao Huo Jun, who led the navy to block the Yellow River, and during the great battle between Yuan and Cao's armies, no ships were allowed to enter the territory of Sili. ”

Gan Ning heard it and responded loudly: "No! ”

Nodding, Zhang Xiu said: "Hansheng, Ziyi, you will go to the army and prepare to go out later." As for Cao Mengde's envoys, it was left to Wen He to receive them, and the general had too much time to pay attention to them

Jia Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and responded: "It will definitely make the lord satisfied that Zhang Xiu can hear it, and he will be slightly safe."

Next to him, Chen Gong asked: "Lord, if you attack Hanoi, what should the Sima family do?" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, his face was solemn, and then he shouted in a murderous tone: "Kill!" ”

Chen Gong listened, nodded silently, and did not speak again. Chen Gong originally belonged to the family, but after all kinds of experiences, the current Chen Gong did not have a good impression of the family, so he did not object to Zhang Xiu's killing of the Sima family. And if he wants to avenge Lu Bu, he must rely on Zhang Xiu's strength, and he has also seen the ability of Zhang Xiu's subordinate generals, and he is not the best in terms of intelligence, so he can only assist Zhang Xiu, so that Zhang Xiu can deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei as soon as possible, after all, Zhang Xiu wants to sweep the world. They are Zhang Xiu's stumbling blocks, and they will definitely encounter them in the end. This side Zhang Xiu and the generals have discussed and decided to disperse one by one, because the winter is not over Sili to Hanzhong valley road is covered by dog snow, it is very difficult to walk, so the Chang'an army to enter Hanzhong must wait until the beginning of spring after the road is restored before walking. Zhang Xiu asked Huang Zhong and Tai Shici and others to secretly reorganize the army in Chang'an, so that they could secretly go to Hanzhong after the beginning of spring, and wrote a letter to Li Ru and Xu Rong to prepare for the attack on Yizhou.

Zhang Xiu is tightly reorganizing the army on the Chang'an side, and Cao Hong has come to Chang'an City under the banner of Guo Jia, since Zhang Xiu has met Guo Jia. Zhang Xiu asked the cities and passes along the road to make it difficult for Cao Hong and his party. However, Cao Hong seemed to have expected it, and he didn't care much about these difficulties. With a smile on his face, he entered Chang'an City.

The people who were secretly observing reported Cao Hong's situation one by one to Zhang Xiu in the mansion of the general of the sudden cavalry, and Zhang Xiu just smiled coldly when he received this information and handed the information to Jia Xu.

After Jia Xu saw it, he smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry." I'm sure I'll get it done. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, and the two ministers looked at each other and smiled. It's all in plain sight.

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu wanted to make things difficult for Cao Hong, first Cao Hong went to see Zhang Xiu for half a month after coming to Chang'an, and they were told that Zhang Xiu no longer let him enter the gate of the General's Mansion, and then almost all of the rest of the civil and military ministers disappeared in Chang'an City. Every time Cao Hong went to the Sili Captain's Mansion to see Zhong Lai, the reply he got was that he didn't know.

These difficulties may be within Guo Jia's calculations, Cao Hong was prepared, but the latter ones made Cao Hong want to directly point at Zhang Xiu's nose and scold his mother.

First of all, the food provided by the post house made it difficult for Cao Hong and his party to swallow, and Cao Hong and his party wanted to buy something to eat in Chang'an City, but no matter how big or small the store was. Seeing Cao Hong and his entourage was like seeing a plague god. Drive them away. Cao Hong later sent someone to investigate, only to learn that the public was ordered by Zhang Xiu to immediately make Cao Hong angry with Sun, and at the same time began to doubt Guo Jia's words.

The food provided by the post house for half a month made it difficult for Cao Hong to swallow, so he could only ask his entourage to put on makeup and go out to buy some food and come back, but after half a month, even this method was not feasible, because Cao Hong and his party were grounded and could only stay in the post house.

In the post house, Cao Hong threw all the dishes out of the room and scolded loudly: "What is this?" I'm afraid I won't even eat the pigs! ”

Take the food to Cao Hong's post house staff. He replied expressionlessly: "If you deliberately destroy the dishes of the post house, you will pay fifty yuan for each bowl and one hundred yuan for each plate." The villain that Lord Cao destroyed just now has already been calculated, and since Lord Cao is the honored guest of our general, the little man only charges a thousand dollars. ”

Cao Hong was immediately furious when he heard this, raised his hands and slammed the long case on the ground, and the long case was immediately smashed to a pulp, and then scolded: "Just those few broken dishes cost a thousand dollars? Are you bandits or bandits? ”

Seeing this, the staff of the post house glanced at Cao Hong coldly and said: "We are not bandits, nor are we water bandits, these dishes are made by Chang'an porcelain masters, and they can only be used by generals." Now Lord Cao has smashed it, and the little one is just doing things according to my rules. After a pause, the post house staff said: "By the way, Lord Cao, this long case is made of good rosewood, and one is worth 10,000 yuan." ”

Cao Hong could hear this, his anger could no longer be suppressed, he grabbed the throat of the post house staff, and shouted: "Do you know how to write dead words? ”

Cao Hong's surge, all the post house personnel who were watching the play outside rushed in, and the entourage brought by Cao Hong also rushed in, and the two sides kept pushing and bumping in the small room. A scribe under Cao Hong who was in charge of recording saw that the post house staff who was caught by Cao Hong had a red face, his hands and feet were dancing wildly, he just couldn't struggle, his tongue had already been spit out, obviously he was caught by Cao Hong, holding his breath and unable to breathe. Seeing this, the scribe hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him and said, "General Cao, you must not kill people here!" ”

Cao Hong was furious at this time, how could he listen to it, and pushed the scribe to the ground with one hand. A few more breaths passed. The post house staff in Cao Hong's hand danced more and more with his hands and feet, and his eyes began to roll white.

Just when the post house staff was about to whine, a large number of soldiers poured in, surrounding the room inside and out, and a big man with a knife walked in, and when he saw Cao Hong committing murder, he immediately scolded: "The thief is hurting!" After drinking, the big knife in his hand slashed directly at Cao Hong's arm.

Cao Hong saw that the big man made a quick move and his martial arts were extraordinary. Immediately let go of the hand holding the post house staff and took a step back. After the big man rescued the post house staff. Holding a knife at Cao Hong, he asked, "Who are you who dares to commit murder in public in the Chang'an City Post House under the rule of the Fat Cavalry General?" ”

Cao Hong snorted angrily and shouted: "A certain is the brother of Cao Cao Mengde, the Son of Heaven personally named the general Cao Hong, you dare to point the general at the general, what crime should you be!" ”

Cao Hong finished drinking, but he didn't see that these soldiers were afraid of him as usual, but showed a sneering look on his face. Cao Hong woke up when he saw it, this is not Xuchang, but Chang'an.

At this time, I only heard the big man shouting: "The general doesn't care if you are Sikong's younger brother or a general named by the Son of Heaven, you have to listen to the fat cavalry general in Chang'an." dared to commit murder in public, first tied him up for the general, and escorted him to the general's mansion to wait for the fall! ”

The Han and the surrounding soldiers swarmed up, and the weapons of Cao Hong and his entourage had already been confiscated before entering the city, and after Cao Hong knocked over a few soldiers, he was restrained by the Han and several soldiers who pounced on him. After that, it was simple, Cao Hong and the people who came with him were all captured.

Cao Hong was captured, furious, and scolded at the big man: "Boy, there is a kind of newspaper name, see if Lao Tzu cuts you on the battlefield!" ”

The big man laughed and replied coldly: "If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, you won't change your surname, this general Pang Rou is also!" ”

Cao Hong heard it, and secretly wrote down Pang Rou's name, Pang Rou snorted, beckoned, and shouted: "Escort them all to the Fat Cavalry General's Mansion to wait for the general to fall!" "Let's be at the front first.

The four soldiers in charge of escorting Cao Hong grinned at Cao Hong, and after surrounding Cao Hong, they secretly went out of Cao Hong's various vital points a few times, and Cao Hong snorted several times in pain. After that, I heard several soldiers laughing in a low voice: "I still want to find a huge person to take revenge, and I don't know what I am." Master Pang Rou is Lord Pang De's own brother, and Lord Pang De is a tiger general who can fight with Lu Bu before the Tiger Prison Pass. After speaking, he sneered a few times and didn't speak again, escorting Cao Hong out of the Fat Cavalry General's Mansion

Finish.

Cao Hong didn't resist along the way, he was trying to see Zhang Xiu but couldn't get in every time. Now that Pang Rou is leading the way, it is just so that he can meet Zhang Xiu, but the pointing and pointing of the people of Chang'an along the way made Cao Hong annoyed in his heart, and he hated Guo Jia to death.

Pang Rou escorted Cao Hong and his others to the Inner City Fat Cavalry General's Mansion, and after a round of reports, Pang Rou personally escorted Cao Hong, whose hands were tied by ropes, into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the hall, Cao Hong saw a handsome scribe sitting on top of the main body in front of the hall, about fifty or so, quietly drinking tea. Cao Hong had seen Zhang Xiu in front of the battle, and naturally recognized at a glance that it was not Zhang Xiu sitting on the main seat.

Pang Rou saw Cao Hong entering the hall motionless, snorted angrily, and shouted, "Don't kneel down when you see Jia Changshi?" Cao Hong snorted angrily, turned his head and ignored Pang Rou.

Seeing this, Pang Rou smiled coldly and suddenly raised her right foot. After sweeping heavily on Cao Hong's knee joint, Cao Hong's legs were weak and he had to kneel heavily on it. At this time, Cao Hong was already furious, his eyes were spewing fire, and his body couldn't help writhing and struggling. Pang Rou snorted angrily, pressed Cao Hong's head with one palm, and pressed heavily towards the ground!

Cao Hong grew from small to large, and he had suffered such humiliation. Naturally, I would rather die than obey, and keep exerting myself upward. Resist the force pressed down on Pang Rou's palm.

The two sides competed for a while, but they couldn't tell the winner, only to see that above the master, Jia Xu gently put down the fragrant tea, and then waved his hand at Pang Ji, Pang Rou nodded knowingly, and retreated to the side to stand with his hands tied.

Jia Xu stroked the beard under his chin, and sighed with concern: "General Cao, as the messenger of the Son of Heaven, came from Xuchang from afar, why did he hurt the people of Chang'an for no reason. You must know that the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, fortunately, no one has been killed today, otherwise even if the fat cavalry general comes forward, it may be difficult to explain to the people of Chang'an City. ”
