Chapter 37: King Wei vomits blood
Cao Cao did not wear a dark royal robe, but only wore a thick leather jacket, and under his leather jacket, the white underwear was faintly visible.
This dress is absolutely inappropriate in the current world of paying attention to governing the country with courtesy.
What's more, Cao Cao is still the lord of a country, and such a dress will be even more criticized.
But Cao Cao, who is such a natural person, no one in the audience dares to advise him now.
All the ministers present are full of scriptures, and in the past, they regarded etiquette as the supreme pursuit of life.
But after they saw Cao Cao's "unsightly" dress, everyone present didn't dare to let out a fart.
Cao Cao leaned on his throne on his side, and after he put his body in a comfortable position,
Then a pair of glittering tiger eyes scanned the hundreds of courtiers present, and finally his gaze fixed on one person.
"Gongren, where is Sun Quan's envoy?"
The person Cao Cao was looking at was Dong Zhao, who was the king of Wei at the time.
When Dong Zhao saw Cao Cao's questioning, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out of class to say back to Cao Cao,
"I am waiting outside the tent for His Highness to summon me."
Facing Dong Zhao's reply, Cao Cao said lightly,
"Bring it in."
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Dong Zhao immediately went out of the tent and brought in Sun Quanlai, who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time.
After Sun Quanlai came to Cao Cao's tent, he bowed deeply to Cao Cao very respectfully.
After decades of conquest, Cao Cao's prestige has long been in the hearts of everyone in the world, and Sun Quan did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
After Sun Quanlai made a big salute to Cao Cao,
said to Cao Cao in a humble tone,
"Your Royal Highness the King of Wei, my lord received an invitation from the King of Wei to form an alliance to attack Guan Yu together, and I was not very honored in my heart.
Today, the lord of Wu specially ordered me to come to thank me, and my lord has a word for me to present to the king of Wei. ”
Faced with Sun Quan's almost dog-licking attitude, Cao Cao didn't bother to look at him, he just said lightly,
"Speak."
After getting Cao Cao's permission, Sun Quan came to make the envoy say,
"My lord said: I will send troops to the west, to cover the feathers.
Jiangling and public security are tired, and Yu loses two cities, and he will run by himself, and the siege of Fan's army will not save himself.
Beggars are not leaked, so Yu is prepared. ”
After hearing Sun Quan is request, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer, and his perception of Sun Quan in his heart couldn't help but drop a few points.
This is a typical feeding of rice to his mouth, and he is afraid that the rice will be too hot.
Guan Yu's main force has been all involved in the front line of Xiangfan, and now Jiangling and the two cities of public security are empty.
Under such an excellent opportunity, Sun Quan was afraid that his sneak attack would be known by Guan Yu in advance, so that Guan Yu would be on guard.
Disdainfully, Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and the beads on his head collided with each other under his movements,
Under the pleasant sound of the collision of beads, Cao Cao spoke,
"Since your lord is so afraid of Yun Chang, why do you have to attack Jingzhou?"
"Do you want to send troops alone to take down the public security for your lord, the second city of Jiangling, and then send it to Jianye in person to deliver it to your lord?"
Cao Cao's sarcastic words caused all the Cao Wei ministers present to laugh.
As the courtiers of Zhengshuo in the Central Plains, they looked down on Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the south.
Sun Quan's envoy was blushing by everyone's laughter, but Cao Cao's ridicule, he was not qualified not to accept it.
Cao Cao didn't bother to say anything more to this Sun Quan envoy, and after ordering someone to take this Sun Quan envoy out, he asked the ministers in the tent,
"What did you think Sun Quan said?"
Disdain is disdainful, and Sun Quan's request also has his reason, after all, Sun Quan and Cao Cao have a common enemy at present.
After Cao Cao's questioning, after thinking about it, Cao Wei's ministers in the tent all thought that Sun Quan's request to envoy was not unreasonable, and thought that it was appropriate to keep it secret.
Just when Cao Cao didn't express his opinion, Dong Zhao, who was the king of Wei's sacrificial wine, said to Cao Cao,
"Military matters should be contingency and timely.
His Royal Highness should ostensibly promise Sun Quan to keep it a secret for him, but in fact he would leak it.
Guan Yu heard that Sun Quan sent troops to the west, and if he retreated to protect himself, the siege of Fancheng would be lifted quickly, and we would gain benefits.
In this way, the two thief armies of Sun Quan and Guan Yu can also be confronted and attacked each other like two horses.
We can sit back and wait for their fatigue.
If we keep it secret and don't let it be leaked, and let Sun Quan's plan come true, that is not the best policy.
In addition, if the generals in the besieging city did not know that there were rescuers outside, they would be afraid of the fact that food was getting scarcer and scarcer.
If there are other ideas, the danger will not be small, so it is in our interest to show this news.
And Guan Yu is strong and violent, and he relies on Jiangling and the two cities of public security to defend strongly, and he will definitely not withdraw immediately. ”
When Dong Zhao finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded appreciatively,
"The words of public benevolence and the policy of seeking the country should be done."
"With the policy of public benevolence, Fancheng can be saved."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he was going to send someone to inform Xu Huang of Dong Zhao's strategy on the front line, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao's royal order had not yet been issued.
Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that Xu Huang's performance was delivered to the front line.
Hearing that Xu Huang had a recital, Cao Cao, who was worried about the war in Xiangfan, immediately got up and ordered someone to present Xu Huang's recital.
And after Cao Cao took Xu Huang's performance and watched it, his face changed greatly, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to be taken away in an instant.
Weakened, Cao Cao sat down on his throne,
"It's over, it's over."
"Xu Huang's army is over, and Fancheng's Zixiao is also over."
Cao Cao's frightened attitude frightened the ministers of Cao Wei who were in the tent at the moment.
Dong Zhao, who was Cao Cao's close minister, immediately picked it up from the ground, and the Xu Huang performance sheet that made Cao Cao lose his temper,
And Dong Zhao After a quick glance at the content above,
And his face turned pale,
How is this possible!
Could it be that Guan Yu has the help of heaven, and he will be unpredictable?
Xu Huang's recital sheet reads:
The alliance between the king and Sun Quan has been known to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu recently tied the matter to an arrow and shot it into Fancheng and the camp of the last general.
In just three days, the morale of Fancheng has plummeted, and if it continues for a long time, Fancheng will be lost.
The last general expected that Guan Yu had already taken precautions against Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and even if Sun Quan went west, he could not relieve the siege of Fancheng.
For the sake of the king, for the general Zixiao, the last general will take the initiative to attack in the near future to relieve the siege of Fancheng.
Xu Huang's short number of crosses completely smashed all the plans of Cao Cao and Dong Zhao, the two famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, during this period of time.
Why did Cao Cao feel that the general trend had gone after seeing Xu Huang's recital?
That's because, since the beginning, Cao Cao has been well versed in the way of soldiers, and he is also confident that with his own prestige, he is not afraid of anyone's high merit.
Therefore, he never pointed fingers at the battles on the front line, such as Xu Huang's previous surprise attack on Yuncheng, and he also reported it afterwards.
So Cao Cao knew that when he saw Xu Huang's recital, it probably meant that Xu Huang had already sent troops!
If it was usual, even if Xu Huang took the initiative to attack, Cao Cao would not be worried.
But now is different from the past, Cao Cao is a strategist, he saw that Guan Yu was taking the initiative to lure Xu Huang to take the initiative,
Xu Huang threw himself into the net, where is there still a way to live!.
That's Guan Yunchang.
And as long as Xu Huang is defeated, Guan Yu can go down to Fancheng, and if Fancheng is lost, Xiangyang will also be lost immediately.
As soon as the two cities of Xiangfan were lost, the Jingzhou defense line that he had painstakingly built for more than ten years would be destroyed in an instant.
Thinking of this consequence,
Cao Cao felt a little dizzy,
A sudden surge of blood welled up in his heart,
Then Cao Cao couldn't help but squirt out.
It turns out that the elk is not a dream,
Guan Yu has the help of a master behind him.
