Chapter 177: Father Forced Son to Storm Lushan
Cao Cao heard that Rong'er was arrested, but his thoughts flew to the White Gate Tower many years ago. On the same day, Wenhou Lu Bu was defeated and captured, and once said: "The public is the general, and the cloth is the vice, and it is not difficult to determine the world." He also took pity on his courage and had the heart to surrender, but he was said by Liu Bei: "The public doesn't see Ding Yuan, what does Dong Zhuo do?" Kill him in a fit of rage. However, if you want to come to Lu Bu's wolf nature, it will be a disaster to keep it by your side, but it is indeed a pity to think of the unparalleled bravery in the world that day. As for the matter of Mink Chan later, he was also very guilty, in order to let Guan Yu surrender, he used the next three indiscriminate means, although Guan Yu still did not surrender in the end, but the only benefit was to let Zhang Liao, Zangba and Guan Yu break off friendship and follow him with all their hearts. If it weren't for this ugly thing, Huarong Dao might not have let himself go so easily.
Unexpectedly, the baby in swaddling clothes is now a slim girl. Since Cao Cao saw Rong'er for the first time, he felt that his appearance was vaguely familiar, and he guessed her origin after being stabbed several times. However, he had a guilty conscience, so he forgave again and again, and it was a good move to put Rong'er next to Zhao Shu, otherwise he would not have made Jingzhou so miserable.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Sheng, who was waiting for an order, and whispered, "Let her go, remember not to let others know about it." ”
When Chen Sheng heard this order, his face was stunned, and then he said, "Take the order." He hurriedly turned around and walked out of the tent, but a trace of joy flashed inexplicably in his eyes.
Early the next morning, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang each set off with their troops and horses, and Cao Pi also sent an envoy to Wancheng with the edict of the King of Wei. Sima Yi took Cao Cao's edict, a slight smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and said to Sima Lang on the side: "Big brother, Cao Apu can't help it anymore." ”
Sima Lang nodded and said, "If you can't shirk it this time, Apo will definitely send troops to attack Wancheng." It's better to prepare early. ”
"Not necessarily." Sima Yi stood up and said, "Since Cao Apu is so concerned about me, I will go out of the city to see him tomorrow." ”
Sima Lang was taken aback, looking at his second brother confident, with a proud face, but he didn't understand what he meant, so he heard Sima Yi say again: "Cao Apu was frightened by Guan Yu's head a few days ago, his condition worsened, and his time was short, so he was so anxious to get rid of me." Tomorrow I will go with my troops, and see what he can do to me. ”
Sima Lang was taken aback again, and hesitated: "The third brother has been placed under house arrest by Cao Cao, is this news reliable?" ”
Sima Yi nodded, but did not say the source of the news, and said: "Big brother, I will raise troops and go, and Wancheng will be strictly guarded by you." He shouted to the outside again: "Someone, please come quickly, General Dai Ling is invited to come." ”
Sima Lang was a little worried, and said: "Second brother, Cao Cao is here with 200,000 troops, and we can't hold on to it, so we can't fight." ”
Sima Yi laughed and said, "I don't fight with him, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”
Sima Lang asked again again, but saw that Dai Ling had already entered. Sima Yi opened his mouth and asked, "How are you prepared?" ”
Dai Ling hurriedly saluted and replied loudly: "The army is ready, and it will be ready to send troops early tomorrow morning." ”
Sima Yi nodded, and then said, "Cao Ah will not be long in hiding his life. Cao Ziwen has already promised to cooperate with me, and will stand still in Lushan, and send an order to Wang Tao, asking him to guard and not fight. ”
Sima Lang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the news that General Yue Cai had leaked. ”
Sima Yi was noncommittal, and said: "Cao Apu didn't expect that I would send troops forward, which would make him mess up and not dare to act rashly." General Dai, you will be the front tomorrow, I said later. Waiting for Dai Ling to go out, he turned to Sima Lang and said, "The eldest brother will defend the city with General Cheng." ”
"Second brother, don't worry." Sima Lang also got up and said goodbye: "I'll also go down to prepare." Sima Yi watched Brother Nai leave, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face.
Early the next morning, Sima Yi and Dai Ling raised an army of 50,000 from Wancheng and came straight to Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao's military camp was only a hundred miles away from Wancheng, and Sima Yi's army had already arrived before dark, and they were ten miles away from camping, and they sent people to Cao Cao's camp to report.
Cao Cao was in the camp, and when he heard that Sima Yi personally led the army to come, he was really taken aback, and hurriedly sent someone to summon Cao Pi, Jia Wenhe, Xiahou Dun and other generals to enter the account to discuss. When everyone heard the news, they all looked at each other, but they really didn't expect Sima to dare to lead troops out of the city, and they were really a little caught off guard.
Jia Xu is worthy of being the first strategist under Cao Cao, and he was the first to speak: "Sima Yi came here to think of our intentions, and I don't know how to deal with it. However, his people have always been cautious, and when they bring their troops, they will be served. ”
The meaning of this sentence is to imply that there will be Sima Yi's accomplices in the army. Cao Cao chewed this sentence carefully, and naturally understood the meaning, and then looked at the generals on the left and right, all of them were subordinates who had experienced a hundred battles with him, could there really be someone colluding with Sima Yi?
Xiahou Dun saw Cao Cao looking around at everyone and understood that he had doubts in his heart, and Cao Zhang had the intention of joining forces with Sima Yi before, and led troops to Lushan in the past two days, could it be that he was not around, he really colluded with Sima Yi? got up immediately and said, "Sima Yi is here to make us unable to figure it out, how can we mess up?" Suspicion? ”
Cao Cao nodded, and was about to speak, but saw Chen Sheng quickly walk inside and present a letter to him. Cao Cao opened it and looked at it, but his face became more and more pale, and he suddenly slapped his palm on the desk. All the generals in the tent didn't know what was going on, so they lowered their heads together, not daring to look directly at Cao Cao.
After half a ring, Cao Cao relieved his breath and said coldly: "Yuan Rang, send people to Ziwen's army quickly, pass on the edict of Lonely, and if you can't capture Lushan within three days, you will engage in military law." ”
"This," Xiahou Dun didn't know how Cao Cao was so angry for a while, but how could he do it when he broke through Lushan in three days? I couldn't see Cao Zhang suffering, so I had to reluctantly say: "Wang Tao, the general of Lushan, is Sima Yi's favorite general, who knows military affairs and is good at defending the country. ”
"Lushan is just a few thousand soldiers and horses, Ziwen has an army of 30,000, and they are all elite soldiers of Yan Zhao, how can they not be broken?" Cao Cao didn't wait for Xiahou Dun to say anything more, and said in a deep voice: "Do you dare to resist the lonely edict?" ”
"Yes." Xiahoudun had no choice but to answer the account.
"Come back." Cao Cao called back Xiahou Dun and said: "After the order, tonight you will lead your headquarters to bypass Sima Yi's army and go to Wancheng, take advantage of its unpreparedness, and break into the city. ”
Xiahou Dun wanted to send his subordinates to support Cao Zhang, but Cao Cao gave himself this order again, so he had to sigh secretly in his heart, salute Cao Cao again, turn around and stride out.
Cao Cao asked Cao Pi again: "What has Sima Fu been doing these days?" ”
Cao Pi hurriedly got up and said, "I sat in the tent all day long, and I didn't move. ”
"Yes." Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Look at him well, go down, I'm lonely." ”
