Chapter 627: Disobeying His Father's Orders
"What? The lord died on the battlefield, Cao Ren, Xu Chudianwei and others rebelled and surrendered to Shi Xin. Xun Wenruo Xun Gongda fled westward, Zhang Xun Jiling died in battle, and only Pang Lingming died in his post? cough cough cough~"
When he first heard the bad news of Cao Cao's death, Guo Jia's eyes went dark and he almost fell. I finally stood firm on the handle of the chair, still swaying, and I was already in tears.
The relationship between him and Cao Cao is not ordinary, everyone has the same hobbies, the same topics, and every time they get together, they talk non-stop, they are both guests and hosts, and they are also close friends.
The lord was still full of ambition and talked and laughed before he set out on the expedition, how could he die?
But if you want to go deeper, no matter how powerful a person is, can you avoid the fate of dying on the battlefield?
Reason told him that it wasn't necessarily.
As for Xun Yu and Xun You, they were his childhood playmates and classmates, and he was taken care of by the Xun family a lot when he was young, and he was polite in his words, and most importantly, he didn't believe that they would abscond.
They absconded westward, and their goal was clear, that was Sima Yi.
Except for Guo Jia, who has a transcendent position in the army, the rest of the people such as Cheng Yu, Wuzi Liangjun, Xiahou Brothers, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.
At the same time, ten deserters who had fled from the Yanzhou battlefield knelt in the big tent, their faces pale and their expressions frightened.
They were actually Cao Pi's henchmen, and they were arranged to be personal soldiers by Cao Cao's side. At that time, the battlefield was chaotic, and they saw the opportunity to escape, quickly returned to Cao Pi's side, and told Cao Pi what they had seen and heard.
Their arrival gave Cao Pi more confidence in the successful implementation of the plan.
"How did the eldest prince know?"
Although Guo Jia was sad, he still realized the key point.
"This is a tip that my father gave me before leaving, and he knew that his limit was approaching, so he tried to die with Shi Xin, trying to exhaust their forces as much as possible, and at the same time create the greatest conditions for victory for our side. Alas, it's a pity ......"
"I don't believe it!
Guo Jia expressed his suspicion that Cao Cao's death made him so confused that he forgot that the supreme commander at this time was Cao Pi.
In the face of Guo Jia's questioning, Cao Pi, who has always been gentle and elegant, did not feel displeased, and gently wiped his tears, "I didn't believe it at the beginning, but the facts are in front of me, Feng Xiao can take a look." Then he sighed, "I think my father was afraid that we would worry and hinder us, so he didn't ask Uncle Miaocai to give me the tips until just now." ”
After speaking, he sent the brocade silk copied by Yang Xiu over.
Although Guo Jia is intelligent, he is only limited to military affairs, and his thesis level is still a little different from Yang Xiu's. took the brocade silk and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Cao Cao's handwriting, and the content was the same as what Cao Pi said.
But he didn't believe it either, frowning and pondering.
Guo Jia was thoughtful, Cao Pi was really afraid of what he would think, and coughed and said: "These ten soldiers are my father's personal soldiers, and they don't want to join Shi Xin, so they desperately escaped when we were about to be defeated, and rushed over to report the news." ”
Guo Jia looked at these ten people, covered in blood and tired, and could see that they had indeed fought hard.
Cao Pi called a well-spoken soldier to speak up.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu saw that the situation was not right, and they did not know where to go when the two armies were fighting, so the lord had to hand over the control of the army to Zhang Xun and Ji Ling. However, the two generals were unable to catch up and were beheaded by Zhang Fei in one move. Later, the lord died at the hands of Shi Xin, Cao Ren and the other three and 100,000 troops all surrendered to Shi Xin, and this battle could not be lost again. ”
Before Guo Jia could react, Xiahoudun was furious, glared at the one-eyed and said: "Okay, Cao Zixiao, a traitor, took such a fancy to him when he was fair, and in the end he was not as loyal as the new Pang De." If I touch him in the future, I will definitely tear him apart. ”
Cao Ren has always overpowered Xiahoudun in the clan, and Xiahoudun did not dare to attack when Cao Cao was there, and now the new hatred and old grudges are counted together, and Cao Ren is targeted first.
Guo Jia looked at Xiahoudun and didn't speak.
Cheng Yu, as the deputy military division, began to calm down, but he thought of other things, and bowed his hand to Cao Pi: "The army can't be left without an owner for a day, please inherit the will of the lord and lead us to win this tough battle." ”
Cao Pi said dejectedly: "Shi Xinxin has my 100,000 troops, plus the original 300,000, a total of 400,000, it's difficult!"
Cheng Yu said: "I have to do it in difficulty, and the eldest prince must cheer up." ”
Cao Pi's tears welled up, and he suddenly cried so much that he cried out to the sky: "Father, I don't want anything, I just want you to come back!
said heartbroken words in his mouth, and cried so much that he almost fainted, making Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi on the ground look very cold.
In fact, they are not sad, but young people are young people, and they have never experienced life and death. More of them are confused, helpless, and have blank heads.
The generals were moved, and Guo Jia hurriedly helped Cao Pi up.
Cao Pi fell to his knees again and again.
Yang Xiu stretched out his sleeve to wipe his tears, hid his eyes behind his sleeve to watch the show, and kept sneering in his heart: This hypocrite and fake filial son is a good actor.
At the same time, he is also a little helpless to eat the fruits of his own life and be cocooned, the reason why Cao Pi has become a great filial son praised by everyone is indispensable to his own support, after all, even Cao Cao was deceived by him.
Cao Pi made this out, and there was even more mourning in the big tent.
After a while, Cheng Yu brought up the old matter again and let Cao Pi take the throne.
This time Guo Jia also agreed, there is no way, among Cao Cao's three sons, he is the strongest and most filial, and the other two are not opponents at all.
Cao Pi is not in a hurry to be the master, the top priority is to preserve his strength first and escape from this place as soon as possible.
After stabilizing his emotions, he asked in a deep voice: "Two military advisors, the soldiers and horses have been mobilized, and we are about to set off." ”
His plan is very simple, return to Xiangyang and defend the danger, and it is not a problem to resist it for a few years with the protection of the real dragon shield. At the same time, he sent an envoy to surrender to Sima Yi, and in exchange for him to send a large army to support.
The reason why it is Xiangyang instead of Qian is because Xiangyang has the Yangtze River natural danger, and in extreme cases, it can also retreat to Yizhou, while Qian and Shouchun do not have this advantage.
As for Yangzhou and Yuzhou, Cao Pi knew that he had no ability to hold it, so he could only abandon it painfully.
Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said: "The lord's revenge, we will avenge it sooner or later!"
......
Shi Xin was very polite to this Cao army, after all, Cao Cao had given so much to himself, whether Cao Pi did what Cao Cao told him or not, he always had to be kind.
Therefore, he did not bring out all the 150,000 soldiers and horses, but only brought out 80,000 people, with Zhou Yu in charge of the Chinese army and the governor of the soldiers and horses. The remaining 70,000 people remained in the camp, and Lu Su was fully responsible.
Shi Xin was at the front of the military formation, riding his horse and whipping, pointing the country, and he was full of spirit.
Zhuge Liang and Cai Yan followed him, Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, talking and laughing, always providing advice. Meng Shu and Zhu Rong followed behind him.
Cai Yan looked at Shi Xin from time to time, and secretly agreed.
Li Yan, Tong Yuan, Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, Wang Yue, Huang Xu, and Zhen Mi are lined up, and the arch guards and military advisors are really star-studded.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren had outstanding military talents, and they each led the army and lagged behind. Gao Shun Chen Gong and Zhang Ning have special troops trapped in the camp and the Five Elements Battalion, guarding the two wings of the army, and they are murderous.
On the way, Zhuge Liang asked Shi Xin, who was full of ambition: "Lord, if Cao Pi disobeys his father's orders and resists desperately, what will you do to him?"
Shi Xin had said before that he would teach Cao Pi a lesson, which was a joke.
Cao Cao gave such a big bargain to himself, if he was ruthless to Cao Pi, it would seem that he was too unrighteous.
Since Zhuge Liang asked, Shi Xin replied truthfully: "I won't do anything to him, but I can't allow him to hinder my progress." The worst outcome is to arrest him and put him under house arrest, but fine clothes and food are indispensable. ”
Zhuge Liang sighed, "Cao Gong's layout is so exquisite, if Cao Pi acts according to the plan, it will be much easier for us to capture Chengdu." ”
Halfway through the march, the army suddenly saw dust in front of them, and a group of men and horses blocked the way.
A tall and thin figure rode out of the ranks, pointed at Shi Xin and scolded: "Shi Xin, you despicable villain, return my lord's order!"
Xiahou Yuan was furious, his brilliance flashed, the rushing bow had already been sacrificed, and a sharp arrow was shot out at the same time.
As soon as these words came out, Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang looked at each other helplessly, and they knew Cao Pi's choice clearly.
"Xiahou Yuaner dare!"
Without Shi Xin's own hands, there was already a horse out of the ranks, bending the bow and arrows, and also shooting an arrow, aimed at the rushing arrow.
It's Tai Shi Ci!
A sharp sound of breaking the sky sounded, and in the blink of an eye, with a bang, the rushing arrow was accurately shot by Tai Shici, and the moon arrow was still in the air, and it flew a distance in the air before falling.
Xiahou Yuan was furious, and this time he took two arrows at the same time, but he didn't shoot Shi Xin, and specifically aimed at Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shi Ci sneered, thinking that he couldn't show my ability to attack like this, and he should win with strange moves.
Which general doesn't want to show his performance in front of the lord, not to mention that Tai Shici has the strength and self-confidence at all.
With a sound of "rack", a horse's belly was clamped, and a man and a horse killed Xiahou Yuan. At the same time, he took two arrows, and he didn't see how to aim, so he swished out.
Bang bang twice, shot again!
There was thunderous applause in the audience, and they all admired Tai Shici's divine skills.
Tai Shi Ci's difficulty was much higher than that of Xiahou Yuan, he rode on the back of a fast galloping horse very bumpy, various postures were difficult to grasp, and he barely aimed, which seemed to be an understatement.
As one of the few ranged masters in Cao Ying, Xiahou Yuan was completely enraged by Tai Shici's contempt, and he wanted to prove his strength.
This time, four arrows were mounted at once, two aimed at the horse's head and neck, and the other two were shot at Tai Shici's face and upper body.
At this time, Tai Shi Ci had already galloped ten zhang away from Xiahou Yuan, and was about to take out four arrows, but after thinking about it, the four arrows didn't mean much to the four arrows, so he only took two arrows.
When Shi Xin and the others saw it in the back, they all sweated for him, did they hold it up?
Know that the closer you are, the faster the arrow will be, and the less time you will have to react.
The two arrows were fired one after the other, Tai Shici had a pressing gesture before shooting the arrow, and the two arrows were shot at a wonderful angle, drawing an incredible arc in the air, and all the arrows were shot down in a pair of two to four arrows.
"Amazing, amazing!"
Shi Xin was dazzled and unconsciously exclaimed. Tai Shi Ci is bold and sophisticated, and his archery skills are on par with Huang Zhong.
Xiahou Yuan's face turned the color of pig's liver, and after a few rounds of competition, he was completely inferior. Seeing that Tai Shici was about to be killed, he couldn't please him, so he hurriedly shot three arrows, turned the horse's head, and shouted, "Everyone go quickly!"
Led his men to attack the knights and fled in a hurry.
Tai Shi Ci danced the falling star halberd to knock down the three arrows and chased them closely.
Shi Xin was afraid that Tai Shi Ci would make a mistake, and was ready to call the army to come forward to support.
