Chapter 84: Fight back
When Cao Cao came down from the mountain, the pioneer Tanma also set off at the same time.
After Cao Cao went down the mountain, he also met him on the official road.
Cao Chunmu sent the tanma to ride the horse away, swallowed his saliva and said to Cao Cao: "Brother, my guess seems to be true!" ”
"It's true, drive!" Cao Cao waved his horsewhip vigorously and ran towards Chen Liucheng.
On the edge of summer, the weather is already getting hot early.
On the barren fields, countless people are cultivating in an orderly manner.
Weeding, leveling the land, manure, and digging canals have a clear division of labor.
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and the horse's hooves galloped past.
When the three Cao Cao brothers rushed to Chenliu, they saw a hot situation.
The whole city is like a huge construction site, and the soldiers in their armor and sweatshirts are reinforcing the walls.
Even the three old city gates were replaced with new ones, and the dragon flag at the head of the city was rolled, and the whole city seemed to be reborn.
"Didn't you say there was nothing else?" Cao Cao shouted loudly.
Cao Hong said: "This is not a big deal, it has been repairing the city walls and roads for several days. ”
Cao Cao: ......
"Speaking of which, brother, why do you say that Your Majesty always has so many wonderful ideas in his heart? Look at the road built, it's really strong, and the huge trees on the city wall, it's amazing. Just those few pieces of wood can easily hang the boulders that require hundreds of people to lift them, and they are firmly secured on the city wall. Cao Hong said that when he was rising, his spit was flying, and he was dancing with his hands.
Cao Cao glanced at it twice, but said: "You are making such a fuss, just because of your short-sightedness, how do you think the Great Wall was built?" However, these tools made by His Majesty seem to be simpler and more labor-saving. ”
"It's so effortless, I've tried it myself. It's a pity that this thing can't throw the stone out, otherwise, hehe, in the future, the siege battle will not be the same as playing. I'm not going to charge forward myself, I'm just hanging a boulder with this thing and throwing it around! Cao Hong shouted loudly.
Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, "Think about these useless things." ”
"Go ahead of your business, I'll go to see Your Majesty!"
Cao Chun's chin raised slightly, and he gestured to the city, "Your Majesty is there!" ”
Cao Cao looked at it, and then he saw that the emperor was only wearing a sweatshirt, and he was shouting something at the head of the city.
It looks like he's directing the building of a wall.
Cao Cao was embarrassed suddenly, he really had never seen that emperor like the one in front of him, he really did everything himself!
Even the construction of the city, he actually did it himself.
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and gave up riding into the city, but walked into the city and went up the city wall.
The emperor sweated like rain on the city, and he rode into the city, always feeling like he was disrespectful to the emperor.
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Wei, who was sweating like rain, turned his head when he heard the voice and saw that it was Cao Cao, and his face was suddenly full of smiles.
"Mengde, is the end of filial piety?"
Cao Cao's eyes were a little moist when he was moved by the emperor's smile, and his voice choked and said, "The minister is back." ”
"Mourning!" Liu Wei said, "I can't exempt them from the death penalty!" ”
"The ministers are afraid, Your Majesty can't explain anything to the ministers, the ministers all understand that the rebellion should be against the three clans." Cao Cao hurriedly bowed to the ground and said.
"Get up, get up." Liu Wei wiped his sweat-stained right hand on his clothes and scooped Cao Cao up.
"Your business is over, and the repair of the city wall will be almost the same, and in two days we will draw our army to the east!"
"Go down and rest first, grief is a very tiring thing."
Cao Cao shook his head again and again, "Your Majesty, the minister is not tired, the minister can move bricks and stones." ”
"Then be whatever you want." Liu Wei did not refuse, and said with a smile.
In this Han Dynasty, the few people who really stood at the top have become construction workers at this moment.
One is more energetic than the other.
Even Xun You, the weak guy, was working hard to draw lines and lettering.
……
Under the hard work of 10,000 troops day and night, Chen Liucheng changed his face.
Although it is not a majestic city, it has been renovated and has some confidence to withstand major battles.
Just like before, even if Liu Wei attacked directly, this city would not last for a few days.
In the palace, the people will sit down.
Liu Weiqiang was in good spirits and listened to Xun You's arrangement.
He had worked a little longer last night to repair the streets of the city.
It's made people sleepy today, and their eyelids can't be opened.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
There seemed to be someone calling in his ears, and Liu Wei suddenly sat up straight and took a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, the forward soldiers and horses led by Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji have arrived at Shanyang. The minister thought that he should temporarily set up camp and wait for the departure of our Chinese soldiers and horses before making a decision. Xun You said.
Liu Wei moved his gaze to the map and asked, "What is Liu Dai's reaction?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Duan Xuan sent the scouts to deliver the message, and Liu Dai sent his staff to the single father to greet the army, and presented thousands of stones of grain as a military posture." Xun You said.
"Then save a little face for Liu Dai, first pull out the single father city, and temporarily make it a place for the forward soldiers and horses to camp." Liu Wei said, "Hold your ground, see how Liu Dai reacts, and then make plans." ”
Yanzhou Thorn Shi is the minister of the clan Liu Dai.
Liu Dai was a person, Liu Wei had no impression before.
That is, after becoming the emperor, he knew what this person was from and what he did.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
He, the emperor, if he doesn't even know about these feudal officials, it is really a bit excessive.
Xun You looked slightly stunned, saved some face, and then pulled out the single father city first?
The emperor's reasoning was so strong that he really didn't know how to refute it.
At this time, Cao Cao got up and said, "Your Majesty, Yanzhou Thorn Shisu is familiar with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and Shanyang Taishou is Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Yi, and Shanyang is afraid that there will be a battle." ”
Liu Wei smiled slightly, "Even if they marry Jin Lan, but this time it is my own conquest, and Liu Dai, as an important minister of the clan, should always weigh it a little." Abandoning his clan and supporting Yuan Shao, Liu Dai wanted to nail himself to the pillar of shame in history. ”
"Your Majesty, what the ministers are more worried about is that they will use the pretense of heading, just like Zhang Miao, to target Your Majesty!" Cao Cao said.
It is impossible for Liu Dai to give up his identity as an important minister of the clan.
Even if he really did something rebellious, he would definitely try his best to justify himself.
Just like what Jizhou Thorn Shi Wang Fen and others have done, there are so many relatives in the Kwantung royal family.
Even if the most powerful Liu Yu does not agree, there are other clan relatives.
"Oh, I see what you mean." Liu Wei chuckled, "Spread the word to me, saying that I am cruel and unkind, and then set up another clan relative as the emperor and raise an army against me, right?" ”
"Yes." Cao Cao nodded silently.
He didn't dare to say it, but that's exactly what he meant.
And he thinks it's a very probable possibility, not hearsay.
After a moment of hesitation, Cao Cao said again: "Your Majesty, Zhang Miao has been defeated, and countless Chen Liushi clans have fled to Shanyang in this month. They supported Zhang Miao before, but now they have no way out, and they will definitely try their best to persuade Liu Dai to send troops. ”
"Please ask Your Majesty to send an envoy to persuade Liu Dai to fight against Yuan Shao."
