Chapter 304: Changing the Army
The night of the ninth day of November was so long in the sixth year of light and the sixth year.
Just when Zhang Chong led 2,000 horsemen to sing in the snow at night and beheaded Zhang Wen, the general of Zhendong, a big drama came to an end in the Han army camp in Qishui.
A heavy snowfall, one after another, fell all night.
The three hundred miles of wilderness around both sides of Qishui are silvery white, covering up the hustle and bustle of the day.
The neighing of war horses and the boiling sound of the crowd all disappeared, and everything was as clean as the heavens and the earth were original.
But as long as you see the scene of the Han army's Qishui camp, you will not be confused by this kind of Wanlai. Just because at this moment, no less than hundreds of armor soldiers fell in a pool of blood in the big battalion.
There were only a dozen or so generals with their hair scattered, holding broken blades and iron halberds in their hands, and their eyes were bloodshot as they looked at the enemy outside.
These enemies had been in their robes until this night, but in just one night, everything changed.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, not only covering the armor of these people present, but also gradually covering the corpses all over the ground.
This scene is like a landscape painting, and suddenly it moves.
Among the armorers who were still fighting in the trapped beasts, the first one was slashed with a deep wound on his face, and like a wild beast, he pointed his knife at a six-foot general in the periphery, and roared:
"Cao Cao, are you going to be a dog for those clear streams? You forgot how you got to this position?"
That's right, the six-foot general is Cao Cao, and at this moment he looked at these people who were surrounded with a complicated expression.
These people are all the old ones of the eunuch party installed in the Han army in Henan, and the leader of them is Cao Jie's son-in-law Feng Fang.
It was on this night that Cao Cao, Xun You and the others finally started their plans.
They summoned the generals to the Great Tent on the grounds of military urgency. Then, Cao Cao and others tried to see the poor dagger, and directly relied on the decline of the Han family to the corruption of the eunuch party.
They directly used the name of the Qing monarch to reform the government and then purge the emperor's road.
At that time, as soon as Cao Cao said, the big tent was in chaos.
For example, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang and others immediately got up to reprimand Cao Cao's rebellion. But soon they found out that something was wrong, except for Sun Jian, who had already led his troops to attack Yecheng, only three of the other captains stood up.
He Zhao Rong, Feng Fang and one is Bao Hong. And Chun Yuqiong, who has been advancing and retreating with them, will drink by herself, and even ignore them.
These all made Zhao Rong's heart beat wildly.
Three stood up, and five sit. In addition to the traitor Chun Yuqiong, Huangfu Li, Zheng Tai, and Zhang Chao did not stand.
Zhao Rong was the most ingenious, and he immediately realized that this matter was over. There are nine lieutenants in the army, and there are five who want to clear the monarch's side, and this must not be done by a person like Cao Cao.
Zhao Rong suddenly laughed, hugged Bao Hong, who was stunned on the side, and laughed:
"Such a grand event, how can there be no two of us. Ronghe Lao Bao had long seen that the eunuchs who had brought disaster to the country were not going well, and he couldn't wait to kill them. Now that Captain Cao is doing something, how can he not be crazy with joy."
After speaking, Zhao Rong grabbed Bao Hong, who had not yet reacted, and sat down together.
Seeing Zhao Rong so obedient, the eyes of the audience focused on Feng Fang's face.
At this time, Feng Fang was trembling with anger, he pointed to the big rebellion in the audience, suddenly kicked the case open, and then took out a knife from his arms to cut open the tent and run out.
Cao Cao and the others were in a hurry, they never expected that this Feng Fang would carry a knife with him, and these people were relieved of their blades before entering the account.
Feng Fang ran here, and soon encountered his own soldiers.
This Feng Fang is a ruthless person, and he knows that his only way to survive is to immediately lead troops to strangle these rebellious parties. So, Feng Fang took more than 200 armor soldiers back to the big tent.
But Xun You had already laid heavy troops in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Feng Fang and others were just in vain.
In this way, as soon as they were killed, Feng Fang and the others were left with more than a dozen people, and the opposite side had already surrounded them.
Feng Fang knew that he was going to die, but in the end, he was still unwilling and asked:
"Cao Cao, what the hell have you eaten***. You don't know you
Is my father also a member of the eunuch party? On your side, you are not only disloyal to the country, but also unfilial to your father. If you are a disloyal and unfilial person, even if you live in the clear stream for a while, will those people really regard you as their own?"
At these words, the eyes of many lieutenants present flashed.
is like Zheng Tai's, obviously being poked in the heart. He did have such thoughts about Cao Cao. How can this kind of unfilial person who can betray his father be believed?
and Zhao Rong, who has been repeating before, is also staring at Cao Cao. Zhao Rong hoped that Cao Cao could jump ship in time, so that he could take Bao Hong to jump back.
It's not that he, Zhao Rong, is so grassy, but he can see it clearly. That is, he had not been contacted by Xun You and the others before, and he was actually regarded as untrustworthy by them.
That this mutiny, although he relied on not being faceless to jump ship in time. But Zhao Rong knew that this time he would not die, and he would also be deprived of military power. And in this era, what future is there without military power? Therefore, he Zhao Rong still expects Cao Cao to jump back.
But it's a pity that Zhao Rong is going to be lost after all, just because of this Cao ***, he has to think decisively.
Over there, when Feng Fang yelled, Cao Cao smiled contemptuously, he lined up the crowd and walked forward:
"That's right, my Cao Cao was raised by my parents, you said that I was unfilial, and I Cao Cao couldn't say a word. But how do I forsake my father? Is it because I, Cao Cao, am a beast? No, because my Cao Cao is not only the son of the Cao family, but also a minister of the Han family. Now, the Han Dynasty has reached the point of life and death, and thousands of Li Shu are waiting to be fed, and the root of it is the eunuch party. I can love my Father, but who loves the Han family. I can save you, but who will save the nations?"
Finally, Cao Cao pointed to himself and said loudly:
"The so-called, knowing me, sin me, is the only "Spring and Autumn". That is to say, only history and descendants can judge my Cao Mengde. Not you flies."
After saying this, Cao Cao took off his head and put down his shoulder-length broken hair.
He placed his head on the ground and bowed to the west, which was in the direction of Kyoto.
After knocking, he shouted loudly in the southwest direction:
"The country, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. I am loyal if I give up filial piety, not to you. It is loyal to this glorious Han family, and it is the order of the people all over the world. Today, I, Cao Cao, will be loyal to my small loyalty."
Cao Cao knelt here, and Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan and others also knelt down over there. Subsequently, the generals knelt down in the southwest direction, and for a while they also became their oaths.
Over there, Feng Fang saw Cao Cao's style and laughed, laughing so hard that tears came out.
He wiped away his tears and mocked loudly at this Cao Cao:
"Cao Apu, Cao Apu. I thought you were a character. Only now do I know how naïve you are. You think you have a choice? Who you are is decided as early as you were born. You can't choose, just as I can't choose now. Do you think that being a dog for Qingliu is loyalty? Do you think this world is the scourge of our eunuchs? Do you think that the women of this dynasty are all me? You have killed us today, and tomorrow the Han family will die."
Feng Fang was talking there, but Cao Cao pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
At this moment, Feng Fang is really dead, he doesn't know if this Cao Cao is really stupid or fake stupid, it's just that he is dead today.
Thinking of this, Feng Fang put the broken blade in his hand to his neck, and then faced Cao Cao in front of him, with a fierce voice:
"Cao Apu, I'll go first. I'll see how you die!"
With that, the blade cut through the trachea and fell to the ground.
Feng Fang was dead, and the remaining dozen servants didn't want to live anymore, so they all picked up knives and killed themselves.
Cao Cao was silent, looking at the snow where Feng Fang was lying, becoming more and more red.
And at this time, a murmur came out:
"Yo, this Feng Fang is still noble. Na Tian died, and some guests were martyred in the tomb. I didn't expect that today, this eunuch child can still be like Tian Heng, and he can still take a few when he dies. Extraordinary, extraordinary."
It was another lieutenant, Zheng Tai, who said this. He said something extraordinary, but everyone present knew the mockery and disdain in his words.
But no one present blamed Zheng Tai
, Anyway, this Feng Fang is also dead, so what if you say a few words.
Cao Cao turned his back to Zheng Tai, and when he heard Zheng Tai's words, especially the eunuch child, he knew that there was something in this person's words. He turned his back to Zheng Tai and said leisurely:
"If you can get a strong man to die, you are a good man. On the contrary, there are some people who can only bark a few words at the dead dog."
Zheng Tai was furious when he heard this, and he drew his knife and was about to cut Cao Cao.
But the Huangfu Li and Zhang Chao on the side stopped him, and only advised that the big thing had not been done, how to kill each other.
But Cao Cao's style is really angry with Zheng Tai.
He pulled out his sword, and Cao Cao dared to continue to carry him, really contemptuous of him to the dust. Zheng Tai was originally an arrogant son, and he was humiliated like this, and this time he really took a knife to cut Cao Cao.
And over there, Cao Cao, who had his back to Zheng Tai, had his hand on the sword, and when he saw Zheng Tai's shadow, he was going to give him a back slash.
"Knock~Knock~"
Suddenly, just when Zheng Tai and Cao Cao were about to fight to the death, a golden drum sounded.
Then the people saw a banner of soldiers, holding high a banner, a scepter, and a canopy, carrying a step. And on the top of it, there is an old man, although he is bent over the chariot, but his momentum is like a crouching tiger.
For example, Cao Cao and other lieutenants, after seeing this person, bowed down directly in the heavy snow, and then shouted:
"Meet Zuo Zhonglang."
Left middle Lang will? That's right, on the step into the camp, it was the previous Beizhong Lang general Huangfu Song.
He didn't die!
What's going on here?
It turned out that Cao Cao and others were just executors of this military mutiny. The planning behind it mainly involves the characters He Jin, Yuan Shao, and Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song was originally shot in the forehead by Zhang Chong with an arrow, and he was dying. But his life should not be extinguished, and the doctor Hua Tuo that Cao Cao found from his hometown turned out to be really capable, and he really cured Huangfu Song.
But even if Huangfu Song escaped from the Ghost Gate, he had no military power. Because the newly deployed Zhang Wen was not only promoted to the general of Zhendong, but also a candidate trusted by the state and the eunuch party.
Therefore, Zhang Wen firmly held the Han soldiers in his hands, and Huangfu Song could only retreat behind the scenes.
Originally, he would have retreated, but suddenly Zhong Xuan and his gang visited him and said that they would invite Huangfu Song to go out of the mountain to preside over the situation. It turned out that these people had formed an alliance under the influence of Yuan Shao and others.
They pulled the general He Jin and said that the moth thief should not be eliminated suddenly, and he should be slowly plotted. You can abandon the land of Hebei and confront the thief army in the river.
They explained that although Hebei is born with mountains and seas, it is also a natural cage. As long as the thief army is trapped in Hebei, the Han family will be working hard to select sages to take the position. The Han still occupies ten states in the world, with a population of tens of millions, and the moth thief will not be able to compete for long.
And if you want to make great efforts and select sages, you must naturally sweep away the female cadres in the court. So who are these female? Isn't it the eunuchs who plague the court?
Therefore, if you want to eradicate the eunuchs around the country, you must first settle the inside.
In fact, what these Henan ministers said was that He Jin did not have a strong motivation. Because the eunuchs can also be regarded as his sister Empress He's arm in the palace. So He Jin didn't have much of a strong motive to eradicate them.
But Yuan Shao had already figured out He Jin's thoughts.
In private, with only two of them, Yuan Shao told He Jin that this eradication of female cadres was very powerful. br>
He pointed out that this time, the princes and families of Henan have united and formed their own ideas. They have people, money, and soldiers. Now they are still under the banner of the Han family, but they want to get rid of the eunuchs.
But if this proposition is not realized, then these people will inevitably turn away from morality. They will not be thieves, but they will support a child of the clan who can represent their interests. You know, King Chen is still in Henan, and I heard that he gets along with the Henan family very well.
And all the power of your general He Jin comes from Liu Hong. If there is an emperor in Henan, how can you be blind?
Therefore, instead of the confrontation between the two Han Dynasty at that time, it is better to envelop the Henan Shihao in the army
The next quote is arm assistance. At that time, once the Qing monarch's side succeeds, he He Jin, as the leader of the alliance and the general of the Han family, will not he be in power to the government and the opposition?
In this way, after Yuan Shao's half-threatening and half-luring approach, He Jin agreed to this action.
And then a premeditated military mutiny began.
Here's the plan. First, Cao Cao and others in the Henan Han army eradicated the power of eunuchs in the army, and then asked the respected Huangfu Song to preside over the army. After that, he led the army to cross the river in the south and joined forces with Zhu Jun's Henan Haoshi troops.
After that, He Jin, Yuan Shao and others, who were stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, switched on and off the magnification army to enter the customs. Then he went directly to Kyoto and carried out a purge of the eunuchs.
After killing the eunuchs, he formed a shogunate headed by the general He Jin and raised Liu Hongxujun. After that, the shogunate will become the new authority of the Han family, unify the deployment of the whole country, and finally kill the great rebellion of the Taishan army.
This plan was a counterattack from the Henan families, who had suffered from the party's troubles, and they wanted these eunuchs to pay for their blood debts. It is also the only feasible way for these elites of the family to think of to save Han.
When the time comes, this big man will still be a big man.
But this Han no longer belongs only to the Liu family, it also belongs to dozens of ministers from the Central Plains of Henan.
They will also be the masters of this Han family!
And now, this plan has succeeded in the first step. They mastered the powerful force of the Henan Han Army and won the victory.
