Chapter 718: Cao Ren is in command, and the clan is on the march
Luoyang.
Hearing what he said, Liu Mang intended to coordinate the army and attack the clan's foundation of the county, which really made Cao Rong angry.
"Liu Xuande father and son, deceive people too much!"
"Now bullying my orphans and widows, don't you know how to be a soldier?"
Cao Rong scolded this scolding, and the ministers in the audience did not dare to speak.
Huang Hao, who was on the side, sneered in his heart: "Your grandfather Cao Mengde, didn't he bully the orphans and widows of the Han Emperor Liu Xie at the beginning?" ”
"Didn't expect that, did you? Heaven is a good reincarnation, now it is your turn to be bullied by orphans and widows! ”
It is related to the ancestral land of the Cao family, and Cao Rong will not be able to give up easily, but the position of Qian County is quite embarrassing.
It is located in the middle of Xuchang and Xuzhou, and it can be besieged by Liu Mang.
Such a hot potato, if it is not handled well, will have an impact on the authority of his emperor.
But if he ignores it, Cao Rong has no way to explain to the ministers in the court.
To add insult to injury, Sima Yi was defeated in Youzhou, impeached by Zhang Liao and Li Dian one after another, and the power of the Korean and Chinese clans rose.
At this time, Queen Guo, who was listening to the testimony on the sidelines, said: "Your Majesty, you must not be on guard, this is the place where my Great Wei Longxing is located." ”
"Your Majesty can send the clan to support, Cao Zidan is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements."
"When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be united, and the siege of the county can be solved."
When Cao Rong heard this, he frowned, this woman really regarded herself as a dish.
Above the court, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, which is a rule set by Han Gaozu.
Cao Rong looked at Cao Ren, Xiahou Shang and other clan generals with disdain, for the sake of power, you actually took refuge in a woman?
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead the army to Qian County to rescue Zidan and resist the Shu thieves!"
"The old minister fought the world with Emperor Wu, and fought countless battles with Liu Bei's subordinates, and he was never defeated."
"If Your Majesty trusts, even if the old minister dies on the battlefield, he will have no distraction!"
Cao Ren expressed his determination to go on the expedition.
When Cao Rong heard this, he was a little hesitant.
Now Cao Wei Chaotang is his struggle with Queen Guo.
The family supported Cao Ei, and the Cao Wei clan switched to Queen Guo, which has to be said to be a bit ridiculous.
If Cao Ren and Cao Zhen held the county and repelled the Han army by the way, then the ultimate winner could only be the clan faction headed by Queen Guo.
Coupled with Sima Yi's new defeat in Youzhou, Cao Wei could only retreat to Guannei, and in comparison with the two, Cao Rong's power position would only get lower and lower.
It's just that Sima Yi is now at home with the idle fortune that is being squeezed by the ministers, even if he is the emperor, he can't risk the world and directly appoint Sima Yi as a general.
"Your Majesty, if the Celestial General speaks, he will definitely be able to return victorious."
"What's more, the Celestial General is a member of the royal family, and His Majesty should be trusted by his relatives."
"The minister overstepped, please appoint the heavenly general to take command."
Huang Hao stepped out at this time and made a suggestion to Cao Rong.
Although he didn't understand why Huang Hao was like this, as one of the few people who could be trusted, Cao Rong still chose to believe in the other party.
"General Celestial, I will send you to lead 50,000 troops to support Qiaojun."
Cao Rong gave 50,000 soldiers and horses, which made Cao Ren obviously a little dissatisfied.
In the past, when he went out with Cao Cao on the expedition, or guarded Jingzhou, the soldiers and horses under his command all started with 100,000.
It's good now, it's directly weakened by half, and in the final analysis, Cao Rong is hiding from him.
"The old minister's order!"
Cao Ren was angry in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure in the court, but he just sighed that Cao Wei rode the Eight Tigers in the past, and now only he and Xiahou are left!
And now Xiahou Shang is also in poor health, and the talents of the clan are facing withering.
On the other hand, on the side of the Shu thieves, a steady stream of talents is constantly emerging.
What's more, these shameless children of the Central Plains Shi clan really defected to Liu Mang, and said that they had never forgotten the Han Dynasty.
Phew!
On the occasion of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, why didn't you speak?
Cao Ren took command of the expedition this time, and brought the deputy general Xiahou Shang, as well as Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Xuan and other rising stars.
Even his two sons, Cao Tai and Cao Kai, were also in the army, showing his determination to protect the county.
"Uncle, I'm afraid this battle is very dangerous."
Xiahou Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Our army only has 50,000 people, I'm afraid there is no numerical advantage!" ”
"Uncle might as well focus on annihilating the army of Shu thieves, supplemented by rescuing Qian County."
"With Liu Changqing's calculations, he will never attack Qian County!"
Xiahou Ba was eager to try, and said frankly: "It's a pity, Huang Zhong's old man is dead, and he can't take revenge in person!" ”
"I will personally cut off Liu Mang's head to pay tribute to the soul of my deceased father in the sky!"
Xiahou Shang coughed lightly, and now his body is already a candle in the wind.
This time, he followed Cao Ren on the expedition, but he just wanted to be loyal to Cao Wei in the end.
"Your Majesty...... Ziwen and Zijian were too deeply injured, so they didn't get close to us. ”
"There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses this time, and Zixiao needs to calculate carefully."
"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one is willing to go out with us, this is the result of the nepotism of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen......"
Xiahou Shang smiled helplessly, in the past, Zhang Liao was called General Zhengdong, but he had to be restrained by Xiahou Dun, and he didn't even have military power.
Zhang He on the Western Front was suppressed by Xiahou Yuan, and in the end he was squeezed out and even defected to Shu Han.
Yu Ban, the only one who has experience leading troops alone, is now also thriving in Shuhan Jiaozhou.
Almost all of the Jiaozhou soldiers who have been put into the battlefield have been practicing there for two and a half years.
Hearing what Xiahou Shang said, all the clans were silent, they should have thought of such a bitter fruit a long time ago.
The general with the surname is not disloyal to Cao Wei, but it does not mean that everyone is a fool.
followed the clan to the expedition, and the credit went to the clan, but they were asked to take the blame.
"I waited for the grace of Emperor Wu to have today's power!"
"Even if his grandson doesn't trust him, we must not take a step back!"
"Let the county fight, and tell the world that the Cao Wei clan has not withered yet!"
Cao Ren gave an order, and all the clan relatives were ready to go on the expedition.
……
Luoyang, dormitory.
Cao Rong rarely did not drink and have fun, but sat opposite Huang Hao.
"Sima Yi was originally the trump card in my hands, but now it has been abolished because of the Battle of Youzhou."
"I originally wanted Zhang Wenyuan to be in charge, why did you support Cao Zixiao?"
"Huang Ban'er, with your hand, it is very likely that the woman will kick her nose in the face."
Cao Rong was obviously dissatisfied with Huang Hao's meddling in this matter, but he didn't have a more suitable candidate in his heart.
"Your Majesty, suppressing the clan for a long time is never the way."
"What's more, they all have the same surname as you, even if they have related interests, they are far more loyal to you than Sima Yi."
"Weichen is only thinking about His Majesty, Cao Ren's victory in this battle can ease the relationship between His Majesty and the clan."
"If they are defeated, Your Majesty has also given them a chance, and if they are not allowed to go on the expedition in the future, the clan will not have any complaints."
Huang Hao knelt down and kowtowed: "The hard work of the minister, I hope Your Majesty has mercy!" ”
Cao Rong took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Although Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun are not the Liu family, they are in the position of the clan!" ”
"And there are many relatives of the Cao clan under my command, but I dare not appoint them!"
"Pathetic, alas!"
