Chapter 232: Rage
Cao Wei, Luoyang.
Recently, Cao Wei's emperor Cao Rong has been in a bad mood, on the one hand, he feels that his body is getting worse and worse, he always feels back pain, and his complexion is not good.
On the other hand, the 200,000 troops he wanted to assemble within half a month were not assembled in half a month.
Wang Ling's 50,000 Yuzhou troops and Zang Ba's 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers had already arrived in Luoyang to assemble as scheduled. However, the most important army, the 80,000 Liaodong army led by Taiwei Sima Yi, was unable to return to Luoyang.
During this period, Cao Rong was very depressed, especially in Yongzhou and Jingzhou, which made him very annoyed. And the new palace that he worked so hard to manage was also exhausted because the internal treasury was exhausted, and the treasury could not come up with money because of the preparation for the war, and it was obviously only one step away from being completed, but it was stuck at this time and could not be completed.
Cao Shuang had already been sent to seize the military power of Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Nan, but it didn't take long for Cao Shuang to receive bad news from Cao Shuang, and Chang'an City was lost.
When he received this information, Cao Rong was so angry that he couldn't help but squirt a mouthful of old blood far away, which frightened the eunuch with him and quickly summoned the imperial doctor for treatment.
The hatred in Cao Rong's heart, the weight of the word Chang'an, is too heavy and too heavy. That is the important town of Cao Wei, the giant city of the world, and the former capital of the Han Dynasty!
was lost by Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Nan even a fool!
Shame! It's really a great shame since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty! Cao Rong felt that he had never been so angry, and even he immediately announced that he would arrest Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Nan and come back to behead them.
also wants to punish these two people and three clans, this time it can frighten the princes of Great Wei, and quickly dissuade Cao Rong from making a decision, after all, Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Nan are both clans, if they punish the three clans, they have to implicate most of the clans.
The princes of Cao Wei have always regarded themselves as the first powerful country in the Central Plains, and have never taken Wu and Shu in their eyes, but now, with the loss of Chang'an, the princes have a sense of panic for the first time in the fortunes of the Great Wei State.
After all, it was Chang'an that was lost! After all, Chang'an is too close to the national capital Luoyang!
So the princes abandoned their political opinions one after another, and for the first time they were extremely looking forward to Sima Yi's return, as if Sima Yi was the backbone of the Great Wei, and if he didn't come back, the Great Wei would decline.
The letters urging Sima Yi to return to Beijing as soon as possible were sent out one after another, including holy decrees and letters from the princes of the Great Wei Dynasty, and everyone looked forward to Sima Yi's return as if they were looking forward to a savior.
This made Cao Rong feel both worried and helpless.
It didn't take long for Cao Shuang to send a good news, saying that he had fought six battles with the Shu army outside Chang'an City, and he had won a series of battles, and the sixth time Jiang Wei personally led the army to a decisive battle with Cao Shuang, but he was killed by Cao Shuang and lost his armor and retreated in the city and did not dare to come out.
In the good news, Cao Shuang said that if it weren't for the cavalry he led, and there were still many Shu thieves in Chang'an City, he would have led the army to recover Chang'an for His Majesty.
I hope that Your Majesty will arrive with a large army as soon as possible.
Cao Rong, who received Cao Shuang's report, was suddenly overjoyed, he and Cao Shuang were inextricably intertwined, although he knew that Cao Shuang liked to talk about it, but he Cao Shuang still didn't dare to mess around with such a major event involving military affairs as five battles and five victories. Presumably, what Cao Shuang said is indeed true, Jiang Wei has been suppressed by Cao Shuang in Chang'an City and does not dare to fight.
So he once again ignited the ambition to recover Chang'an, and ordered Wang Ling and Zang Ba to lead an army of 100,000 to set off first, without waiting for Sima Yi. After arriving at the periphery of Chang'an, he accepted Cao Shuang's command and acted with the camera.
He himself would arrive with Sima Yi's army later.
After Wang Ling and Zang Ba's 100,000 troops left Luoyang, less than five days later, Sima Yi finally led the 80,000 troops to Liaodong back to Luoyang.
Cao Rong dragged his tired body and personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him, giving Sima Yi enough face, and everyone in Luoyang City cheered and welcomed Sima Yi, the great hero who pacified Liaodong, to return triumphantly.
Looking at the truckloads of loot, and looking at the pair of dejected Yan army captives who were used to be sacrificed, Luoyang City suddenly boiled.
Everyone seems to have regained the scenery of the two countries of Wu and Shu when Emperor Cao Cao of Wei was there, and felt that this was the atmosphere that the Great Wei State should have.
After the triumphal ceremony, Cao Rong set up a royal banquet to celebrate the achievements of major generals such as Sima Yi, Biqiu Jian, Hu Zun, and Chen Qi.
At the celebration banquet, Cao Rong said to Sima Yi:
"The captain worked tirelessly, led the army to Liaodong in person, and swept away the thieves of Gongsun Yuan, which was due to Sheji, and he was very relieved."
Sima Yi replied: "It is the honor of the minister to be able to share the worries of His Majesty. ”
Cao Rong said: "Taiwei is noble, but lonely is actually the king who spares rewards? Taiwei, I want to give you more food in Kunyang County. ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he hurriedly prostrated on the ground and said: "Minister Sima Zhongda, thank you Your Majesty Longen!" ”
As a marquis, Sima Yi originally ate one county, but now that he has added one county, his marquis title has been as high as the land of two counties, and he can indeed be regarded as a very human minister.
Cao Rong picked up Sima Yi again and said to him: "This is what you deserve, you don't have to be polite to Lonely, you are Lone's humerus minister, and you deserve this honor." ”
Then he sighed to Sima Yi and said, "Taiwei, do you know that Chang'an is lost?" ”
Hearing this, Sima Yi said loudly: "What? Chang'an lost? ”
In fact, Sima Yi had already learned the news of the loss of Chang'an on the way back to the division, but at this moment, when Cao Rong told him personally, he still pretended to be shocked, but he was very sure in his heart that his military power would not be like last time, Zhuge Liang would be deprived as soon as he died.
Cao Rong continued: "Gu has sent the general of Wuwei Cao Shuang to lead the troops to Chang'an, Cao Shuang is really a rare general, and the Shu army has fought six battles and six victories, and now Jiang Wei has been beaten to the point that he does not dare to show his head in Chang'an City. ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he felt that all this sounded too and incredible, but he was very deep in the city, and he still said with a smile:
"Cao Zhaobo is worthy of being the son of Cao Zhen, sure enough, the tiger father has no dog!"
Cao Rong saw that Sima Yi was also praising Cao Shuang, and felt that he had suppressed Sima Yi, and he was a little proud in his heart, so he said: "Now that Cao Shuang has taken the lead for me in Chang'an, I have a good start, and I have to work hard Taiwei to make persistent efforts, go to Chang'an to meet Jiang Wei for a while!" ”
Sima Yi hurriedly prostrated on the ground and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Seeing that everything was going well, Cao Rong wanted to drink a few more cups, but at this time, a little eunuch came up to report:
"Report ......! Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation! ”
After Cao Rong took it quietly, he unfolded it and took a look, and what he wrote was the military situation in Jingzhou.
The military intelligence has a small number of words but a lot of information:
"Shangyong was captured by the Shu army, Jingzhou thorn Shi Hu Qian, Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan martyrdom, the champion general Wen Qin is missing, after the Shu army captured Shangyong, and formed a coalition with Lu Xun of Eastern Wu, the two armies combined a total of 100,000 troops, and the northern expedition wanted to attack Wancheng."
After reading the military situation, Cao Rong's eyes suddenly cracked, and a strong anger sank in his chest, and he suddenly had a feeling of anger attacking his heart, as if his entire internal organs were turning over the river and the sea.
Eastern Wu is hateful, Shu Han is hateful, these thieves are now more and more rampant, even combined with 100,000 troops to attack Wancheng, Chang'an west of Luoyang has Jiang Wei's 120,000 troops, and Wancheng south of Luoyang has 100,000 Wu Shu coalition army, isn't this going to die in the sky?
Thinking of this, Cao Rong couldn't bear it anymore, a mouthful of old blood gushed out, blood splashed three feet, and then he only felt like the world was spinning, and fainted.
