Chapter 671: Cao Cao's Old Skills

The Guiyi army did not pay much to occupy this small city leading to Ganzhou from Guazhou, and Li You's performance under the city also won the admiration of the Guiyi army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In addition, Li You's righteous action to rescue Cao Zongshou won him a lot of applause, not only for this amazing archery skill, but more importantly, the Guiyi army knew that Cao Yanlu and Cao Zongshou were not in harmony, if Cao Zongshou died like this, Li You would naturally have a lot less scruples, but he didn't expect that he would save Cao Zongshou from the enemy's arrows regardless of his previous suspicions.

This made the soldiers of the Guiyi Army very pleased, after all, no one wants to be without the assistance of friendly troops when they are facing a desperate situation of life and death, and even those soldiers who were obedient to Cao Zongshou in the past have been shaken, since the festival has enabled the adults to save Cao Zongshou, then presumably he will not be too harsh on us, right?

"Nephew... The nephew thanked his uncle for saving his life. At the celebration banquet, Cao Zongshou also had to hold a wine glass to thank Li You, if he didn't do it, I'm afraid his soldiers would not be convinced.

"We're all family, so why do we need to see each other like this." Li You got up and drank the wine glass, and then personally pulled Cao Zongshou to sit down beside him, patiently teaching him many tricks to save his life on the battlefield, and at the same time thinking about how to deal with him in his heart.

It was not appropriate to leave Cao Zongshou in Shazhou anyway, but he could not be killed just now, Li You was very embarrassed by this, but the attack on the Ganzhou Uighurs made Li You think of a good solution; Ganzhou is located to the east of the sandbank, and is the main road into Guanzhong from the Western Regions, as long as the Ganzhou Uighurs can be pacified, then the road from the sandbar to Guanzhong will be opened.

And now that Li Jiqian, a member of the party, has just defeated the Song army and brought Lingwu into his control, the Great Song Dynasty is in need of an ally who can contain Li Jiqian in the Western Regions, if Li You imitates the original Zhang Yichao and sends Cao Zongshou to Tokyo Bianliang as a hostage and accepts the reward of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will be overjoyed, and grant Cao Zongshou the position of Qinggui so that he can enjoy wealth and nobility in Bianliang City, and give greater support to the Guiyi Army.

In this way, Cao Zongshou's problem was solved, and he could also obtain material supplies from the Great Song Dynasty to strengthen himself. The Guiyi army has always admired the life of the Central Plains, and Bianliang is worthy of being the most prosperous city today, even if Cao Zongshou is still nostalgic for his homeland at that time, but after a period of time, his ambition will be melted by the warm wind of Bianliang.

Those courtiers who were loyal to him could also let him take them with him, and no one would regard going to Bianliang as a chore anyway, so that Li You would suffer much less opposition, and if the operation was good, the internal hidden dangers of the Guiyi Army would gradually dissipate.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Li You pacified the Uighurs in Ganzhou and opened the passage between the Guiyi army and the Great Song Dynasty, so after a short rest, Li You led the army to continue to kill Ganzhou the next day.

The Ganzhou Uighurs did not expect that the Guiyi army would attack them at this time, and they were at a loss for a while, and they were easily attacked by Li You to the city of Ganzhou, until this time their scattered troops had no time to return to help, relying on these defenders in the city There was no way to resist Li You's soldiers who were holding their stomachs.

Although the Ganzhou Uighurs had tens of thousands of strong troops, they were hit by Li You's surprise attack to the doorstep, and seeing that they were no longer able to defend against the attack of the Guiyi army, the Ganzhou Uighur Khan had to lead his people out of the city to ask Li You to surrender, and the Guiyi army opened the main road to the Great Song Dynasty.

However, although the Ganzhou Uighurs were defeated, they still had bad intentions, and in addition to offering jewels and goods, they also ordered a large box to be sent up, and pretended to be timid, and said, "My lord, these are all letters that were exchanged with the officials and generals of the Guiyi army in the early years, and all of them are handed over to the Jiedu envoy today to show his rehabilitation. ā€

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many of the Guiyi generals present suddenly turned white, and those generals who had nothing to do with the Ganzhou Uighurs on weekdays also began to inspect the crowd, trying to find out those who were eating inside and out.

What a good means! Knowing that I don't dare to kill him at the moment, do you want to use this method to plunge the Guiyi army back into civil strife, so as to create an opportunity for them to resurrect the Ganzhou Uighurs? Looking at the smile he hidden, Li You thought through gritted teeth.

It's a pity that you seem to underestimate me too much, these small methods are just leftovers from the Central Plains, Li You raised his hand to stop Ban Chao's advances, and did not order someone to open the box, but chuckled twice and said, "My Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs have always been good friends in the early years, and it is normal for them to have correspondence with each other. ā€

Saying that, Li You walked to the side and took the oil lamp, and poured the grease inside on the box, "It is not for a gentleman to peep on other people's letters, so these things are still burned." With that, he took the torch from the guard's hand and threw it on the box, and the flames rose in an instant, destroying the letters that contained countless evidence.

Seeing the firelight rising, many people breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Li You's eyes more and more grateful, and Ban Chao also secretly bowed his head to express his appreciation.

As Ban Chao said earlier, the Western Regions and the Central Plains are two completely different environments, the competition here is more intense, and every country has the possibility of perishing at any time, so the people here have become accustomed to the practice of relying on strong strength.

This is the same as Cao Cao burning the correspondence between his advisers and generals and Yuan Shao after the Battle of Guandu, the objects they kept as follow-up have been eliminated, so these people will only have one way to continue to follow Cao Cao in the future.

The courtiers who had colluded with the Uighurs in Ganzhou must have become more loyal after learning about this to prove that they had nothing to do with these letters, and even those who had previously submitted to Cao Zongshou would fall to Li You, which was an out-and-out good thing.

Now that the road to the Great Song Dynasty has been opened up, it is time to send an envoy, and after Ganzhou settles down, Li You found Ban Chao again. (To be continued.) )
