Volume 3 Chapter 8 Qingzhou Travel
I'm not alone......"
Cao Cao muttered to himself, read it again and again in his heart, and thousands of tastes came to his heart together, he didn't know what he was thinking, he sat quietly for a long time, and the indescribable bitterness in his mouth was bitter to his heart......
"My lord! Lord! ”
Cao Cao went to a banquet yesterday and returned drunk, and when he got up early this morning, he sat down in a daze, motionless and without saying a word. Xiahou Yuan thought that he was thinking about the problem, so he quietly retreated. When he finished his trivial work and came back, Cao Cao was still in his original position, obviously sitting until now, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Oh...... It's a genius! ”
Xiahou Yuan exhaled several times before Cao Cao's divergent eyes recondensed.
"Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Qingzhou won't help, let's think of other ways!"
If Zhang Han refuses to help, Xiahou Yuan doesn't know what else to do, but the living can't let the urine suffocate to death. Xiahou Yuan was very eager, Cao Cao's heart was warm for a while, and he couldn't help but smile:
"Miaocai, Zhang Borun agreed, in addition to refusing to give soldiers, money and food are not a problem - not giving soldiers is also a good thing, if I take a group of Qingzhou soldiers, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it at the beginning......"
Xiahou Yuan is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, and he also knows Yuan Shao, he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, the two laughed for a while, and Xiahou Yuan cautiously asked a question:
"Lord, what did Zhang Qingzhou say?"
"Hey, it's not ......"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao was very happy, he said a few perfunctory sentences, and his thoughts returned to that moment. At that moment, Zhang Han broke his ideals.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
It is said that Cao Cao fought a big battle with Xu Rong at the Yangbian water's edge, killing from morning to night, and finally returned defeated, with most of the soldiers killed and wounded. Cao Hong gave the horse to Cao Cao, escorted him on foot, and escaped with his life in the night. Cao Cao's failure was due to many reasons. Objectively speaking, there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the Cao Army and the Liangzhou Army.
After returning to the sour date, but seeing that the army was holding wine every day and not trying to forge ahead, Cao Cao was extremely angry, angry and blamed, and put forward an offensive strategy. Cao Cao's words, every word is shocking, every sentence is reasonable, and it is very far-sighted, but in the end it has no effect at all.
Cao Cao's soldiers are small and outnumbered, and he is a prominent eunuch, so his influence in the alliance is limited. This time, he insisted on sending troops alone, striving forward, and what he said thought was extremely reasonable, but he didn't know how many people's faces were swept away. In this world, there have always been a few people who can do things, but there are many people who can't do things themselves, let alone look down on others to do things. Seeing Cao Cao's failure and return, I don't know how many people were secretly happy, where could they listen to his kind words and persuasion. Moreover, the situation is like this, each of them has the heart to preserve their strength, and Cao Cao's words have become even more deaf.
In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to pack up the remnants of the defeated army and return to his hometown to rest and recruit troops.
People will be unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. Cao Cao was defeated very badly. Cao Hong poured his family to help, and with more than 1,000 soldiers, in Lujiang County and Danyang County in Yangzhou -- Cao Hong was friends with Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and recruited more than 4,000 people to help Cao Cao make a comeback. Unexpectedly, after the two met Pei Guolongkang, they encountered a mutiny again.
To be honest, being a soldier is all about getting paid. The little people are one, who cares who the emperor is, and who is not all the same to pay taxes and serve the conscription. Emperor Ling has been harming the world for 20 years, and he finally died, and the common people don't care which son of Emperor Ling succeeds to the throne, that's something that adults care about. Cao Cao was newly defeated, Cao Hong recruited and armed these many soldiers, and the money was like flowing water, and there was a problem with this money and food.
That night, Cao Cao was covered in blood and killed more than 30 people before breaking out of the camp. The chaos of the situation and Cao Cao's embarrassment can be seen. After a night of fighting, the soldiers died, and those who fled, Cao Hong recruited more than 4,000 people, and only more than 500 remained.
Cao Cao's situation was very difficult. Where to go from here, that's the question. If he returned like this, with the thousands of soldiers in Cao Cao's hands, he would not be able to stand on his own, so he had to take refuge and rely on others. Thinking about it, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou? led the troops back to their hometown to continue recruiting people, and he brought some followers and quietly went to Qingzhou.
Cao Cao was not sure about this trip. After serving as the minister of state in Jinan for three years, Cao Cao had a lot of dealings with Zhang Han. The two have a lot of similarities and big differences, they have a deep understanding with each other, and they can talk about each other very well, but they don't know what is missing, and they can't become friends after all. Zhang Han looked at Cao Cao differently and respected him a lot. However, he can also have a hint of hostility at times. Cao Cao also had a slight feeling that Zhang Han couldn't see through. Needless to say, Zhang Han's ability is a well-known capable official, who knows everything in trouble, often has a unique way of handling affairs, and attaches great importance to practical benefits, although it cannot be said to be a traitor, it can also be said to be an informal law, which is very suitable for Cao Cao's appetite. Cao Cao also had a bit of sympathy.
According to Cao Cao, when he went to Qingzhou, Zhang Han Sancheng may not pull out a dime, Sancheng may be perfunctory, and Sancheng may meet his requirements. Of course, there is also Yicheng, which is where Cao Cao can't be sure. Even if Zhang Hanqiang left him or even killed him directly, it was possible.
However, things have developed to this point, the situation is pressing, and in order not to send people under the fence, Cao Cao had to gamble. In addition, the crusade against Xun Zhuo reached a critical moment, and Cao Cao also had the heart to find out Zhang Han's intentions. Zhang Han sent Wang Luo out to crusade against Xun Zhuo, and attacked Taishan County without authorization, Cao Cao understood that he had bad intentions, but he also knew that Zhang Han was never a loyal minister.
However, with one state and three counties in one piece, with Taishan County in hand, Qingzhou has become a stable rear, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, sufficient money and food, and the situation is very different from the past
"Brother Borun, you can kill me!"
Seeing Zhang Han, Cao Cao called Zhang Han as always, and he complained loudly while saluting.
"Brother Meng De, it's you who hurts!"
Cao Cao complained half-truthfully, but Zhang Han didn't care, and laughed and returned a flat salute.
"A little trouble, can't it be difficult for Brother Meng De?"
“……”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say. Zhang Han is now a big family, he can not take Yuan Shao to heart, how can he be offended. However, he was reluctant to say this show of weakness. Zhang Han has already been framed, and he is unexpectedly frank, without the slightest guilt. Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said:
"How can Cao Mou, how can he be, Brother Borun is favored like this......"
"Brother Meng De is talented, I know it, so I naturally want to take a look at it!"
Seeing Zhang Han such a scoundrel, Cao Cao was also speechless. He knew that he couldn't take advantage of it anymore, so he had to laugh at himself:
"Brother Borun's glance is not something that ordinary people can bear......"
"It's a trivial matter, Brother Meng De doesn't have to be polite."
Zhang Han's skin is much thicker than Cao Cao's. Now he has no intention of killing Cao Cao, but he is still happy to see that he can cause some trouble to Cao Cao. Cao Cao glared for a while, then gave up. Laughing like this, Cao Cao was also tempting, and when he saw that Zhang Han was treating him as always, he put his mind at ease, knowing that even if this trip could not be done, it would probably be fine.
Cao Cao arrived in Qingzhou in mid-July, shortly after the end of the war, and Zhang Han was busy dealing with the aftermath. However, Zhang Han still found time from time to time to entertain him with wine at home, and Cao Cao was very satisfied.
On this day, Zhang Han invited him with wine, except for Cao Cao, he did not invite anyone else, nor did he accompany the guests. After chatting for a while, when the wine was hot, Cao Cao inadvertently brought up the old words again and talked about Taishan County.
Zhang Han glanced at Cao Cao casually, don't look at his blushing face, he didn't drink too much at all. He had already explained this, and Cao Cao asked again what it meant. Naturally, at the invitation of Shao, the Qingzhou army suppressed the Taishan thieves, and willingly conceded Taishan County, no one would believe such an official statement, and it was natural for Cao Cao not to believe it...... A few thoughts quickly turned in his head, but Zhang Han did not hesitate and continued to say before:
"......, Ying Zhongyuan begged bitterly, I really can't bear it!"
"Poof", Cao Cao couldn't help it, patted his thigh, laughed, laughed breathlessly, pointed at Zhang Han with trembling fingers, couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he was able to speak:
"Borun, what you said is too false!"
"Mengde, why do you say this, this matter is evidenced by letters......
Zhang Han was not annoyed. Cao Cao waved his hand:
"What kind of letter do you want, Ying Zhongyuan is here, I have an old acquaintance with him, how about going to see him together? Borun won't stop me, will he? ”
"This," Zhang Han was speechless, but it didn't bother him, "Hey......"
After a long sigh, Zhang Han had already thought of an excuse, and he looked more and more sad.
"Meng De wants to go, how can I stop it. However, Ying Zhongyuan was very ill, and Mr. Yuanhua finally rescued him, and Mr. had something to tell him that he needed to recuperate and not see outsiders......"
"It's okay! Never mind! I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I only take a look outside the house, and I don't think it will hinder Ying Zhongyuan's recuperation......"
"In that case, there is no need. However, Mr. also said that Ying Zhongyuan's illness is very peculiar, and it is easy for others to aggravate his condition, and if Meng De really wants to go, it is not impossible to ......"
Zhang Han looked at Cao Cao with ill intentions before continuing:
"It only takes Mengde to bathe and fast for thirty days, so that it will be fine......"
“……”
This is not nonsense, but at this time, Taoism is very popular, and when the divine doctor Hua Tuo said this, Cao Cao couldn't refute it, he touched his nose and stopped talking. Even if he did fast for 30 days, Zhang Han might still say, 'I'm sorry! He was mistaken, it should have been 30 months of fasting'(―_―|||- Cao Cao believed that Zhang Han could do this.
At this point, Cao Cao couldn't continue. The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and the topic naturally turned to the war against Dong Zhuo. The wine was gentle, and both drank a lot of wine. Cao Cao drank a little too much later, he looked forward to the past, imagined the future, and hoped to persuade Zhang Han to return to the right path......
Zhang Han snorted at this, the 'heroes' in the Kanto region are lucky, if Dong Zhuo had the two blows of Huangfu Song, he would have defeated you long ago - he didn't drink less. In the end, Zhang Han waved his arm and asserted that there would be no result in asking Dong, and unashamedly declared:
"Liu's country is over!"
"Fart!" Cao Cao was furious, "There are loyal people in the world!" ”
"Loyal and righteous man," Zhang Han smiled, "is that you?" ”
"What about me?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he glared angrily, and he slapped his chest, "Isn't my Cao someone a loyal person?" ”
"Cao Mengde, you are loyal and fight hard, what can you do? Your strength is too small," Zhang Han stretched out his thumb, felt a little more, and replaced it with a tail finger, still felt that it was too much, so he held it with his other hand, revealing only the tip of his finger, "Cao Mengde, your strength is so big, insignificant......"
With a muffled snort, Cao Cao hated, "I Cao Cao will not always be like this in my life!" Sooner or later, I'm going to wipe out all of you rebels and thieves......"
"Hahaha......" Zhang Han pointed at Cao Cao and laughed, the tears of laughter came out, and he slapped the stone table with laughter
"Straight sound.
"What? Can't I do it? ”
Cao Cao roared angrily.
Zhang Han laughed for a long time before he stopped and sighed:
"How's it going? What if you can't do it?
If you can't do it, someone else will replace you; If you do it, it's you who take your place. ”
"Fart!" Cao Cao was enraged and jumped up.
"Mengde, you're not alone!"
Zhang Han is not angry, loyal people are always more respectable than traitors. He repeated in a sighing tone, "Mengde, you are not alone! Not alone! ”
This was said by Xi Zhicai to Zhang Han two days ago, and Zhang Han understood what he meant.
Political struggle is not a struggle of one person, it has always been a struggle of forces of many people. It's not surprising at all. Take Ruoruo's father Liang Chengfang as an example, he was originally Zhang He's scholar, and now he is the big butler under Zhang He. If Zhang He is the main one, there is no doubt that Liang Chengfang will become an important minister, and it is not impossible to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister in the future; And if Zhang Han is the main one, he will be just a housekeeper in the future. Of course, if there is a relationship, Liang Chengfang is still rich and prosperous. However, it is self-evident what kind of attitude other people would have.
The three of them become tigers, and any little contradiction will be artificially magnified thousands of times, unless they can really be intimate, otherwise, things will most likely develop to the bad side. But even if they stay together every day, there are a few people who can be intimate. Moreover, it is a basic requirement for a family like Zhang Han to make contributions and glorify their ancestors, and it is a common situation for each side of the world to gather less and leave more. After a long time, it is not surprising that father and son are suspicious of each other and cannibalism.
On the matter of Taishan County. Now that the mutual attack has not been made public, the Lu State can still cooperate with all parties for a few months and maintain it temporarily, but after a long time, in order to respond, someone must give orders and form a complete set of teams. When the time comes, one team in Qingzhou, one team in Luguo, and one team in Langxi, they will further prosper and become rich, and if they take a step back to camp and serve, there will be more problems -- no matter how powerful Zhang Han is, Zhang He is also his father, and he will not have an advantage in name. The Zhang family controlled a state and three counties, and the situation was very good, so it was easier for them to compete for power and profit.
From various angles, such as integrating resources, unifying orders, maintaining long-term peace and stability, and increasing depth, it is imperative for Zhang Han to capture Taishan County -- this is what Xi Zhicai said.
What Zhang Han said to Cao Cao naturally did not mean the same thing. However, the meaning is different, and the principle is the same. What follows is a brutal power race, with the winner getting everything and the loser annihilating. Cao Cao had no choice. If he does not claim the title of king and emperor, his subordinates will abandon him, but there is a choice, and no one will want to work for a force that is sure to go bankrupt and doomed.
Unless Dong won a great victory in the first battle and was able to rescue the emperor, the Han family could still survive under the control of all forces--of course, this was impossible. So far, those who have participated in the discussion of Dong have different aspirations and are preserving their strength. The main force of the Allied army, Yuan Shao, stationed troops in Hanoi, and the other troops were sour and jujube, which were hundreds of miles away from Dong's army, and only a handful of battles took place. Obviously, these people didn't really want to rescue the emperor, and counting on them was no less than begging for fish from Yuanmu.
These words do not need to be elaborated, and some things are not unexpected, but unwilling to think about them. Zhang Han is a little bit, and Cao Cao understands. After understanding, Cao Cao stopped shaking and immediately sat there.
"Mengde, come and help me! If I am rich, I will share it with you......"
Zhang Han's face was flushed, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Cao Cao eagerly, where was a little drunk. Cao Cao was drunk and hazy, only to see him shake, "poof" fell off the stool, I didn't know the pain, in an instant, snoring loudly.
"Mengde, think about it!"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Cao Cao hesitated for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miaocai, you quietly go out and take a look, pay attention to whether anyone is watching here, be careful, don't let people find out, ten, don't ......"
Xiahou Yuan immediately became nervous, didn't ask anything, tidied up the clothes on his body, and was about to go out. Although he didn't say anything, he was inevitably guessing in his heart what Cao Cao talked about with Zhang Han......
"Wait!"
Without waiting for Xiahou Yuan to go out, Cao Cao changed his mind again. He did drink a little too much, and he was sent back in his sleep, which couldn't be hidden from Zhang Han. In this case, it is better to be still than to be still. This is in Qingzhou, Zhang Han has been in business for many years, no matter which direction he goes, it will take several days to leave. If Zhang Han misunderstands that he is drunk, I am afraid that it will be safer.
In the following days, Cao Cao's nerves were tense, but he pretended to be like he had nothing to do. Zhang Han tried around the bush a few times, and Cao Cao skillfully coped with the past......
After staying for a few more days, Zhang Han had something to do and needed to go back to Lu as soon as possible to deal with it, and he couldn't stay for a long time, so Cao Cao took the opportunity to leave. Zhang Han didn't say anything, and looked at Cao Cao quietly for a while, Cao Cao only felt his heart pounding, and the sound seemed to be heard by everyone. Cao Cao didn't remember how long Zhang Han had seen him, and when Zhang Han finally agreed, he was almost about to collapse.
It wasn't until he left Qingzhou that Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and put his heart in his stomach for the time being.
At this moment, someone suddenly raised an alarm, and hundreds of cavalry galloped in the distance. Cao Cao was shocked, and while ordering people to be on guard, he smiled bitterly, he only brought thirty-three people to Lin, Zhang Han did not help him recruit soldiers, hundreds of cavalry, is it really in the catastrophe, Cao Cao clenched the ring head knife......
