Chapter 626: Transferred to Xuzhou
"Xu Chu Dianwei, you escort Cao Gong's body back to Chenliu, which is his birthplace and his hometown. After being buried, the mausoleum will be guarded for one year. In addition, according to Pound's last wishes, he was buried next to Cao Gong. ”
"Yes!" The two wiped away their tears and surrendered.
Xu Chu said loudly: "Sect Master Shi, since you are so well aware of righteousness, Dian Wei and I are not the ones who don't know what to do. In a year's time, you will be our lord, and we will treat you like a lord!"
He didn't say it very well, but it probably meant that Shi Xin could understand it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Shi Xin patted the two on the shoulder.
"General Cao Ren, you lead my handwritten letter, hurry back to Chenliu and hand it over to Jia Xu's military division. In the name of Kyushu under our rule, we will mourn the whole country, and we must do all the relevant things before the body is brought back, and bury Cao Gong in a grand manner!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Shi Xin arranged it so thoroughly, Cao Ren was very moved.
Shi Xin let out a long sigh and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
After Cao Ren and the others left, Shi Xin walked back to the battlefield and announced Cao Cao's death and his last words to Cao's army.
The rest of the generals and soldiers had already heard about it, and they all began to cry loudly, and for a time the mourning was all over the field.
Shi Xin and the others gathered the army and kept busy until night, which was basically over.
He was concerned about the battlefield in Xuzhou, handed over the rest to the generals, and left the camp with Zhao Yun and Zhoutai overnight.
......
Yuzhou Pei County Zhizhi Xiang County and Xuzhou Chu State Governance Office Pengcheng junction, Cao Pi camp.
Cao Pi's face was pale, his chest rose and fell, and he tried to suppress his true emotions.
There was a bag on his desk, which was empty, and a small silk was tightly held in his hand.
The content written on this brocade silk was the second big gift that Cao Cao wanted to give to Shi Xin, which was given by Xiahou Yuan himself.
Of course, in order to protect the independence of the plan and minimize the risks, Cao Cao did not tell Cao Pi about the part that Xun Yu executed.
"Zihuan, what's wrong?
Xiahou Yuan was very curious, glanced at Cao Pi's hand, and couldn't help asking.
If the person in front of him was Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan naturally didn't dare to offend. But in front of him is Cao Pi, a junior who has grown up since childhood, although everyone thinks that he is the heir of the Cao family, but Xiahou Yuan is the general of the clan that Cao Cao has always relied on, and when the two are alone, they still have a lot less scruples.
"Uncle Miaocai, I want to ask you, what did your father say when he handed you this bag?"
Cao Pi finally managed to squeeze out a little smile, which was really ugly than crying.
"Oh, the lord only told me to give you the tips before tomorrow's decisive battle, and repeated that you must hold back left and right, but other than that, I didn't say much. ”
Xiahou Yuan replied truthfully.
On the battlefield in Xuzhou, the two armies have been entangled for several days, and they are all small fights, and there is no substantial progress. All eyes are on another big battle, and the outcome of that big war will directly affect the situation on this side. Cao Cao set the day of the decisive battle on the battlefield of Xuzhou for tomorrow, which he had planned before the march~.
Cao Cao did not choose Guo Jia to do this, in his mind, Guo Jia was a confidant, friend and subordinate, but there was still a gap between him and Xiahou Yuan.
The Xiahou family and the Cao family are tied together, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, they will only be loyal to Cao Cao, and they will only strictly implement Cao Cao's orders, this is Cao Cao's idea that he will not change until his death, and it is also an indisputable fact.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't believe Guo Jia, he was worried that Guo Jia was too smart. Smart people generally have a lot of ideas, and he will find reasons for this, why did Cao Cao choose Shi Xin instead of his own son? The question itself is very complicated, even if Cao Cao explained it to his face, it would be difficult for Guo Jia to accept.
Could it be that in order to conquer the world's ambition, in order to eliminate the evil forces like Sima Yi, and in order to return the Han Dynasty to a prosperous future?
This is a sympathy for the same status between the lords and princesses, and Guo Jia has not yet reached that height.
The most important thing is that Guo Jia has accumulated a lot of grudges with Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang over the years, which can only be resolved through long-term getting along and working together, and cannot be achieved overnight.
"Uncle Miaocai, I want to be alone quietly, please go back to the camp first!"
Cao Pi quickly stabilized his mood and quietly issued an eviction order.
After Xiahou Yuan reluctantly left, Cao Pi immediately sent his own soldiers to invite Yang Xiu and handed him the brocade silk in the brocade bag.
Yang Xiu is excited, years of undercover work are coming to an end, and returning to the lord's camp is just around the corner. At that time, all misunderstandings about him will turn into endless praise, and the opportunity to glorify the lintel and the ancestors has finally arrived!
Although Yang Xiu tried his best to hide his emotions, his hands still trembled slightly.
"Smack!"
Cao Pi snatched the brocade silk and slapped it on the case angrily, with a hideous expression.
"Father, father, you actually gave up the foundation of our Cao family to others, how can we deal with ourselves?
Cao Pi roared in a hoarse voice, becoming unscrupulous in front of his "henchman" Yang Xiu, questioning Cao Cao's approach. He has already said this quite seriously, and it can be said that it is very disrespectful.
Yang Xiu's mood became delicate because Cao Pi snatched the brocade silk with one hand.
Did he do it on purpose, or was it out of anger?
This is the only proof left by Cao Cao, if it is destroyed, Cao Pi can turn his face and deny it, and even bite Shi Xin back, saying that he killed Cao Cao and fought Shi Xin to the end.
Yang Xiu had a thought in his heart, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. As the person who knows Cao Cao best, he now wants to tell Cao Pi: This is the wisest choice for the old lord, because he understands that your ability is not enough to compete with Shi Xin Sima Yi and others to dominate the world, and he knows Shi Xin's personality better, this is the best way to save you and the Cao family!
But he can't say that, at least he has to thoroughly understand what Cao Pi thinks and plans to do.
He still has an army of 150,000 in his hands, and he is a force to be reckoned with everywhere. What's more, he can go back to any city in the three states that is protected by the true dragon shield and defend it according to the danger.
"What are the plans of the eldest prince?"
Cao Pi suddenly grabbed Yang Xiu's hand, looked directly at Yang Xiu, and asked, "Dezu, are you worthy of my trust?"
Yang Xiu's mind turned sharply, and he said in a panic: "Why did the eldest prince say this? Dezu has always regarded the eldest prince as the master in his mind since the Qingzhou Attack two years ago. Can't the eldest prince feel it?"
Later, Yang Xiu became angry, his face was even paler, his body trembled a little, and he was annoyed that his loyalty was questioned.
As a spy, acting is the most basic condition. As a smart spy who has been immersed in it for many years, Yang Xiu's acting skills have reached the realm of perfection.
"Naturally, I can trust Dezu, otherwise how could I have brought you here for reference at this critical juncture? I want Dezu to help me do something. ”
"The eldest prince, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Help me use my father's handwriting to make another brocade silk. ”
Yang Xiu was shocked, "Eldest son, you ......"
"Just write as I read it. ”
Cao Pi's eyes were cold, how could he go to Chengdu to be a spy according to Cao Cao's wishes? Even if he succeeded, he would only help others make wedding dresses.
Now Cao Pi, no one believes it. Inviting Yang Xiu is just that he is highly educated and has good literary skills, and he has no one to use. Especially that handwriting, there is no problem in imitating anyone.
Cao Pi said while Yang Xiu wrote.
When he knew Cao Pi's true intentions, his mood couldn't help but fall.
......
When Shi Xin arrived at the camp in Xuzhou, it was already late at night.
Governor Zhou Yu and military advisor Zhuge Liang caught it, but other than that, they didn't alarm the others.
Although it has only been a skirmish in the past few days, after all, each side has 150,000 troops, and it will grow from small to large at any time, and there is no room for relaxation.
The soldiers' spirits are highly concentrated, and the generals are always paying attention, so they need to seize the time to rest.
Shi Xin sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and gave a little explanation of what happened yesterday.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "I always thought that Cao Mengde was a sinister and selfish hero, but I didn't expect to have such a generous side, which is really impressive." ”
Zhou Yu echoed: "Looking at history, who can do such a noble thing? ”
It is also strange to say that these two peerless governors and military advisors who single-handedly planned the Battle of Chibi in their previous lives and drove Cao Cao, who was full of ambition at that time, back to the north, actually praised and admired Cao Cao in this life.
A few people reminisced, and Shi Xin asked, "You two, now that the situation is very good, what should we do next?"
"If we can successfully receive Cao Cao's 200,000 troops, our strength will reach 600,000, and only the lord and Sima Yi will be left in the world. The top priority is to find out whether Cao Pi will act according to Cao Cao's dying wishes. If all goes well, we should allocate all our forces to a few key points on the border with Sima Yi. ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, his eyes shining.
Zhou Yu took over the conversation, "Not bad! These important points are: Huguan on the border of Jizhou and Bingzhou, Hugaoguan on the border of Yanzhou and Luoyang, and Jiangling and Shangyong, the key points of Jingzhou and Yizhou. As I wish, the army can be reassigned to these places at that time. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with each other. They analyzed it very thoroughly, it is no longer the era of the rise of the heroes, the general trend of the world is very clear, and the rest is a contest between forces and strength.
Shi Xin was full of pride, who would have thought that Mei Zhoulang and the demon Zhuge Liang would be in the same camp and join hands to plan a day in the world?
A few people discussed the rest of the matter, and they could only wait passively for what Cao Pi would do, and at most they would send more scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the other party's camp.
At the same time, Shi Xin is also waiting, will Yang Xiu risk the danger to report the news?
He also knew that Cao Cao would only put the initiative in Cao Pi's hands, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, and his three sons were all gathered here. In case of any unexpected situation, at least there is a buffer time.
A short time later, an Eagle Scout was outside asking to see him.
"Tell the lord that there is an abnormality in Cao Ying!"
Shi Xin and the others looked nervous, "Come on." ”
"The Cao camp is crowded, the war horses are neighing, and it is estimated that there will be a big move soon. ”
"Good!" Shi Xin stood upright and said loudly: "Governor, military advisor, let's order all the soldiers and horses to see if Cao Pi is obedient!" His eyes turned cold, "If you are not obedient, we will teach him a lesson for Cao Mengde." ”
"Yes!"
