Chapter 726: Stupid Pig Cao Shuang Xuchang is in a hurry
The person in charge of guarding Bowang is not someone else, it is Cao Zhen's eldest son Cao Shuang.
When the news of Cao Zhen's death in battle came back to Luoyang last year, the Wei government and the opposition were shocked and saddened.
In order to commend Cao Zhen's contributions to the Great Wei, even though Cao Pi was dying at that time, he personally issued an edict to worship Cao Shuang as a free rider and inherit all the titles of Cao Zhen during his lifetime.
After Cao Ei succeeded to the throne, because he had a good personal relationship with Cao Shuang, in order to cultivate the strength of loyalty to himself in the court, Cao Ei issued an edict ordering Cao Shuang to be a partial general.
Originally, Cao Rong wanted to arrange Cao Shuang to train in the Chinese army, but Cao Shuang was often resentful of Mi Yang's revenge for killing his father, and after learning that Cao Xiu was going to go out of Yuzhou, he volunteered to go out with Cao Xiu.
Cao Shuang's courage and benevolence and filial piety made Cao Ei very satisfied, and of course he had no reason to refuse Cao Shuang's request.
In this way, Cao Shuang followed Cao Xiu from Yecheng to Yuzhou.
But others don't know, can Cao Xiu still not know the ability of his eldest nephew?
Now that he knows, it is naturally impossible for Cao Xiu to place Cao Shuang in a dangerous place.
For Cao Xiu, Bowang is a good place for Cao Shuang.
Being in the back and the position is important, as long as you stay well, there will be no danger and there will be merit.
Cao Shuang also knew Cao Xiu's intentions.
On the one hand, while he was grateful to Cao Xiu for his care, he also had some thoughts in his heart to serve the country.
But it's a pity that Cao Shuang, who has been taking Wushisan for many years, his body and mind have long been worn out.
A few days after coming to Bowang, Cao Shuang reverted to his old ways, gathering three or five friends to drink and have fun in the house every day, so happy.
Cao Shuang last night had just experienced a night of tossing.
When the day was bright, the pain in his brain made Cao Shuang slowly wake up.
After Cao Shuang shook his head and tried to regain some of his senses, he saw the dancer beside him.
Thinking of last night's madness, Cao Shuang seemed to be unsatisfied.
And just when Cao Shuang was thinking about whether to do it again while the power of the medicine was gone, the noise coming from outside the house attracted Cao Shuang's attention.
After hearing the noise, Cao Shuang instinctively felt unhappy.
"Something happened out there!"
Cao Shuang's angry rebuke came out casually.
After hearing Cao Shuang's angry rebuke, the guards outside the door saw that Cao Shuang was awake, and hurriedly pushed the door in to report:
"A large army of thieves has arrived!"
An army of thieves?
At this time, Cao Shuang's head was not very sober, and he thought that the thief army in the mouth of the guards referred to the mountain thieves.
Therefore, Cao Shuang waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Bowang is close to Xuchang, and it has its own imperial atmosphere, and some thieves are panicking.
In the afternoon, I will surely lead my army to slay them all."
After saying this, Cao Shuang urged the guards to go out quickly and not to disturb his good deeds.
But Cao Shuang didn't notice the stunned look on his guard's face.
And before the previous guard could explain, several more people broke into Cao Shuang's bedroom directly.
These people are Cao Shuang's fox friends in the past, and they are also his subordinates.
The bedroom was broken into rashly, and Cao Shuang must have felt angry.
But before he could reprimand them, he heard a piece of news from them that frightened him.
"A large number of Han troops have entered! The defenders at the city gate could not resist it, and they were losing ground one after another!"
The report of his cronies frightened Cao Shuang and quickly got up from the couch.
It turned out to be the Han Army?
But the question is how did they get to the city of Bowang without knowing it?!
The consternation in his heart made Cao Shuang feel at a loss for a while.
After seeing Cao Shuang's performance, the cronies couldn't help but be disappointed.
One of them, a resourceful cronie, immediately advised:
"There are thousands of defenders in the city,
At this moment, the general should raise his arms and shout, gather the soldiers and the enemy to engage in street battles in the city.
The enemy is not familiar with the terrain in the city, so he may not be an opponent of our army."
Now Cao Shuang is in a state of six gods without a master, and the words of the strategist make him feel justified before he has time to think.
So after he put on a single coat again, he subconsciously followed his cronies out of the room.
But just as Cao Shuang stepped out of the door, he heard thousands of high-pitched shouts in the city.
Judging from the shouting, the thousands of elite soldiers were definitely not the Wei army in the city.
And from that shout, you can also judge how fierce the morale of the thousands of elite soldiers is at the moment.
After realizing this, Cao Shuang was so frightened that he stopped.
He didn't dare to go any further.
"The enemy is strong, the enemy is strong......
Cao Shuang's mouth kept repeating one sentence again.
After repeating it several times, Cao Shuang ignored the surprised eyes of his cronies, and he quickly walked towards the courtyard wall with a few guards. After coming to the courtyard wall, with the help of the guards, the obese Cao Shuang reluctantly climbed the wall.
Cao Shuang actually wanted to do something to escape over the wall in front of everyone!
And before Cao Shuang escaped, it seemed that he realized that his behavior today was inappropriate, so he casually found a reason for himself:
"I drank too much Wushi Powder last night, and today there is a cold wind, I am not feeling well, I should go to the doctor first."
After leaving these words that made people laugh and cry, Cao Shuang jumped off the courtyard wall and disappeared in the eyes of his cronies.
Seeing that Cao Shuang was so unbearable in the face of the enemy attack, many celebrities wanted to slap themselves.
In the past, the allegiance they had was to a stupid pig!
...
Due to the escape of the main general Cao Shuang, the street battle envisioned by Zhang He did not take place.
When the news of Cao Shuang's escape came, except for the Wei army who fled with Cao Shuang, the other Wei troops had no choice but to lay down their weapons.
So the Han army completely occupied Bowang in less than a day.
Things went smoothly beyond Zhang He's expectations.
At first, he thought that this was a strategy set up by the commander of the Wei army.
After all, Zhang He asked himself if he guarded Bowang, even if he was caught off guard by the city gate, he would still organize the army to fight in the streets.
And this doubt in Zhang He's heart was completely dispelled after learning who the commander of the Bowang Wei army was.
It turned out to be Cao Shuang!
Then it is not surprising.
Zhang He had served under Cao Zhen for a long time, and he was no stranger to the eldest son of the deceased master.
But Cao Shuang's impression in Zhang He's heart can be summed up in four words - no learning and no skills.
Cao Shuang, who doesn't learn and has no skills, did something like cowardice before a fight and fled in the wilderness.
Now that Cao Shuang has escaped, there is no need for Zhang He to focus on him again.
When Zhang Wei came back from cleaning the battlefield, Zhang He asked, "Have the hearts of the people in the city settled down?"
In the face of Zhang He's inquiry, Zhang Wei replied:
"Because our army has the Juntian Order, the people still welcome our army."
What Zhang Wei said was not a lie.
The specific content of the Juntian Order is very complicated, and ordinary people can't understand it, but the core of the Juntian Order is just two words - granting fields.
The acres of land are the lifeblood of the people of the world.
Therefore, when the Han army said that after the situation stabilized, they would carry out the Juntian system in Bowang, and the people in the city were all looking forward to it.
Of course, the people of Bowang will believe in the Han army in a short time, and it is because Liu Bei left a favor in Bowang many years ago.
Liu Bei has a natural skill, that is, he is in a place, and the people in that place will spontaneously love him.
As soon as the people of Bowang heard that the Han army was sent by Liu Bei's disciple Mi Yang, they naturally had a sense of trust in this Han army.
Zhang Wei's reply made Zhang He nod in satisfaction.
Even Zhang He, the former general of Wei, recognized Liu Bei's prestige among the people of Jingbei.
But at the same time, Zhang He immediately reminded Zhang Wei:
"The people are easy to be safe, but the wealthy are not.
Thou shalt send more men to watch over the magnates who are outwardly obedient."
Zhang He, who has been in the Wei State for many years, knows what kind of virtue those wealthy families in the Wei State are.
When it's time to kneel, they often kneel faster than anyone else, but sometimes it is they who stab themselves in the back.
Zhang He's advice made Zhang Wei's face straight.
"The last general commands."
After telling the matters that need attention, Zhang He had a smile on his face, and he said to Zhang Wei:
"I think the Great Sima is now waiting for our good news.
The lord has hope, and he who is a minister should report it quickly."
Zhang He's words also made Zhang Wei smile.
Although before leaving, Zhang Wei had expected a great success in the surprise attack on Bowang, but it was still worth celebrating to be able to win Bowang in two days.
The important thing is that this exuberant thing for the Han army will cause the Wei army to fall into a great panic.
Wonderful, wonderful.
...
As one of Cao Wei's five capitals, Xuchang's importance in Cao Wei is needless to say.
And the Wei general, who was responsible for guarding Xuchang, also had an extraordinary status.
This person was Xiahou Shang, who had been captured by Mi Yang and was later released back to Cao Wei.
After returning to Cao Wei, although Cao Pi did not blame Xiahou Shang for being alienated from the past, Xiahou Shang himself felt very humiliated by the past.
If ordinary people encounter such a big change, they are likely to collapse.
But to be valued by Cao Cao, Xiahou Shang is naturally no better than mortals.
In order to motivate himself, Xiahou Shang did something that Cao Pi didn't expect. Xiahou Shang's wife is the daughter of the Cao clan, but Xiahou Shang's relationship with her is not good, but he favors a beautiful concubine.
Cao Pi was very dissatisfied with this matter in the past.
But even if Cao Pi was dissatisfied, Xiahou Shang still went his own way in the past.
And after Xiahou Shang returned to Cao Wei, his temperament changed greatly, in order to show his determination to wash away his shame, and in order to prevent himself from "plaything", he actually ordered the execution of the beautiful concubine.
This incident caused a sensation in Cao Wei's aristocratic circle.
And this matter is gradually becoming a good talk.
Compared with Cao Shuang's frivolity, Xiahou Shang, who already has a talent for military strategy, has been exhausted since he became the chief general of Xuchang, and he did not dare to be careless at all.
For example, today it was Xiahou Shang who personally led scouts to inspect the surroundings of Xuchang.
This habit was acquired by Xiahou Shang after hearing that Mi Yang had arrived in Jingzhou.
Compared with the boredom of the guards beside him, Xiahou Shang himself attaches great importance to this matter.
No matter how strange Zong Miyang is, he will handle every detail well, and Mi Yang will definitely not have a chance to take advantage of it.
But what Xiahou didn't expect was that when he had just left Xuchang City a few miles, he heard a report from the scouts who were rushing back quickly:
"General, General Cao is fleeing back to Xudu."
The scout reported quickly because of his impatience, which also made Xiahou not react immediately.
Which General Cao?
It can't be Cao Xiu!
Even if this idea is quite ridiculous, Xiahou Shang has a faint feeling in his heart that if the opponent is Mi Yang, this is not impossible.
Fortunately, the scout's answer next made Xiahou unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's General Cao Shuang."
Hearing that it was Cao Shuang and not Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang's tense expression eased a little.
But soon he realized something was wrong.
If he remembers correctly, Cao Shuang is in charge of guarding Bowang.
Bowang?!
Xiahou Shang, who reacted, immediately patted his horse and rushed forward, galloping, and it didn't take long for Xiahou Shang to see him
arrived at Cao Shuang, who fled back in embarrassment.
Cao Shuang saw that Xiahou Shang actually came to pick him up in person, and he was overjoyed.
Because of the urgency of escaping, Cao Shuang didn't wear too good boots, but even if the shoes were sloppy, Cao Shuang still ran towards Xiahou Shang with excitement on his face.
Under the two-way rush, Cao Shuang and Xiahou Shang finally met.
When he came to Cao Shuang, the first thing Xiahou Shang asked was:
"Have you lost Bowang?"
Xiahou Shang's tone was full of seriousness and anxiety.
Seeing that Xiahou Shang asked about Bowang, Cao Shuang became distracted.
He didn't dare to explain to Xiahou Shang directly that he abandoned the city and fled.
After seeing Cao Shuang's reaction, Xiahou Shang already knew the truth of the matter.
But this truth, Xiahou Shang couldn't accept it.
Xiahou Shang directly reached out and hugged Cao Shuang's arms, shook violently and said:
"That's Bowang!
It's the main road between Da Sima and the rear, how can you lose it!
Do you know what it means to our army when Bowang is lost?"
The more Xiahou Shang spoke, the more angry he became, if it weren't for Cao Shuang's in-law relationship with him, he would have pulled out his sword angrily and slashed at Cao Shuang.
And under Cao Shuang's escape for days, he was already exhausted and exhausted, how could he withstand Xiahou Shang shaking like this.
With his last strength, Cao Shuang broke free from Xiahou Shang's embedding:
"I don't want to lose my prestige, but the thief army has come directly to the city like a descending army from heaven, so what can I do?"
After angrily defending himself, Cao Shuang seemed to be afraid that Xiahou Shang would not believe it, and he told Xiahou Shang what he knew about the Han army's capture of the city.
Cao Shuang thought that after he finished speaking, Xiahou Shang would understand his situation.
But the more he talked, the more Xiahou Shang felt that Cao Shuang was really guilty and deserved to die.
As a city guard, he was careless, and when he saw that the rainy season was coming, he didn't even send out scouts.
His opponent is Mi Yang!
What is the difference between this kind of behavior and giving Bo Wangbai to Mi Yang.
But Xiahou Shang knew that he had no right to dispose of Cao Shuang, and he was not in the mood now.
The surging of qi and blood in his abdomen made Xiahou Shang's body stumble unconsciously.
He was thinking about what his next goal would be when Mi Yang won Bowang.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Shang glanced at Xu Chang behind him.
He thought of it.
Then Xiahou Shang fell to the ground weakly.
Xuchang is in danger!
