Chapter 43: Reconquest
Cheng Ji dragged Sima Zhao all the way and walked towards the city, but he didn't save him any face.
Sima Zhao was covered in mud at the moment, his face was full of horror, Cheng Ji seemed to be dragging a criminal, and he didn't have the slightest respect for this Wei general in his heart.
Sima Zhao almost fell to the ground several times, and Cheng Ji completely ignored it.
Malone was terrified when he saw it.
Even as His Majesty's number one general, Ma Long didn't dare to treat Sima Zhao like this, he could kill him for His Majesty, but he didn't dare to be so humiliated.
Anyway, this is also General Wei of Great Wei, the son of Duke Xuanwen, and the younger brother of the General.
Many captains and generals watched Cheng Ji drag General Wei like an old dog, and the expressions on their faces became more and more complicated.
Who would have thought that not long ago, this person was still standing tall, looking like the ruler of Great Wei.
When Sima Zhao was brutally dragged into the county office, Sima Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily, "If you want to kill, kill!" Why is it so humiliating?! ”
Cheng Ji was furious, "At this point, what kind of bravado do you have?!" ”
He stepped forward and kicked Sima Zhao behind his calf, which made Sima Zhao fall directly to the ground, and Yanghu, who was standing not far away, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Gao Rou!! Come out for me!! ”
Sima Zhao shouted.
Cheng Ji was about to do it again, but Cao Chao slowly walked out from behind the screen opposite.
"Chengjun, how can you be so rude to General Wei?"
And seeing Cao Chao who came out, Sima Zhao was like a lightning strike, he looked at Cao Chao in disbelief, "How can you appear"
"General Wei, you've come to this point, haven't you figured out who your opponent is?"
Cao Chao shook his head and slowly sat down on the top seat, he lowered his head and stared at Sima Zhao in front of him with a kind of down-looking gaze.
Sima Zhao was a little dazed in his heart.
Gao Rou joined forces with the emperor?
"Where's Gao Rou?!"
Cao Chao said again: "Don't worry about Gao Situ, Situ Gong, his old man, is in prison at the moment, and he is resting well, well, after a while, he can follow his clan on the road together." ”
"Don't think about it anymore."
"General Wei, when you were busy quelling the rebellion in Hebei, the ministers in the temple have been taken down by me."
"Zheng Chong, Sima Fu, Wang Xiang, Xun Yi, Cui Zan's death, and the surrender."
"That's it."
Sima Zhao's face suddenly turned pale.
He instantly understood that he had made a big mistake from the beginning, he misjudged the situation in the temple, and decided that Cao Chao would definitely lose, but he didn't expect that it would be the end of Cao Chao's victory.
Therefore, all his deployments were arranged around the premise of the victory of the ministers, and when the winner was Cao Chao, all of his deployments were useless.
At this moment, the impact suffered by Sima Zhao was no less than being protruded by Wen Yang head-on.
Seeing Sima Zhao, who was paralyzed in an instant, Cao Chao asked very seriously: "When the old man entrusted me with the important affairs, why didn't General Wei want to come to me?" ”
Sima Zhao just looked at Cao Chao blankly and didn't say a word.
Cao Chao shook his head, "Okay, General Wei, don't worry, I won't kill you, you can rest well tonight, this Wen County is also your family's territory, tomorrow, I will take you to meet your relatives." ”
"You should make it clear to them, and in the future, we will put aside our prejudices and deal with foreign enemies together."
Cao Chao said to Zhang Hua on the side: "Arrange for General Wei to rest." ”
Zhang Hua hurriedly agreed, and immediately led people to help Sima Zhao leave here.
Yanghu just watched the other party leave, and sighed in his heart.
Cao Chao then looked at Cheng Yan, who was escorting the other party.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two have met.
Cheng Ji was actually not as tall and fierce as his brother, and he even looked younger and had a gentler face than the rough Cheng Ji.
"Your Majesty!!"
"Hahaha, Chengjun! Get up, get up! ”
Cao Chao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and couldn't help but praise: "Because you two brothers help each other, great things will be done!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Majesty, this time is because of Your Majesty's kindness, because of General Wen's bravery"
Cheng Yan didn't dare to be greedy, he hurriedly told the emperor what Wenyang had done.
Everyone present was taken aback.
Cheng Ji laughed, "It's worthy of General Wen, it's a pity that I'm not there, otherwise I will definitely go with him!" ”
Even though Cao Chao had an expectation of Wen Yang's bravery, he was still extremely shocked at the moment.
In history, he relied on rushing to scare Sima Shi's eyeballs, and now he is scaring Sima Zhao half to death by rushing into battle.
It's you!
He is not yet twenty years old, if he is put in the army for five years, this is a new Guan Yunchang!
Cao Chao estimates that Wen Yang at this moment, in terms of personal bravery, is probably the only existence in the whole world.
Wu and Shu simply couldn't find anyone to resist such a fierce general!
Cao Chao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The courage of the overlord is known today." ”
The Yellow Gate official not far away recorded it.
Cao Chao had to praise the people around him from time to time, and the ministers were extremely happy when they heard it, because the emperor's evaluation of others should be left in the history books.
For example, if you want to write a personal biography of Wenyang in the future, you will mention what kind of contribution he made in a certain year, and what kind of evaluation the emperor made about him.
That's all that matters.
Of course, this is not limited to the emperor, but also the evaluation of celebrities and ministers will be recorded.
Cao Chao immediately announced the reward for Cheng Yan, combined with his many original achievements, and became a marquis!
Cheng Yu's whole body trembled with excitement.
In the era of the monopoly of the family and the lords, it was extremely difficult for people from poor families and common people to climb to the top, and the poor people who could break out during this period were real heroes.
Cheng Yan was not of high origin, and at the age of forty, he could become the cavalry governor of Sima Shi, and his own talent must be very high.
Later, when Sima Zhao crusaded against Zhuge Dan, he let this person serve as the vanguard and led tens of thousands of troops to lure Zhuge Dan to attack.
It's just because of his brother's affairs that this person fell into a clan and died, and he didn't have any more achievements.
Fenghou, it means that he has completed the transformation of his identity and truly separated from the common people, this is the treatment that Cheng Yan has never received for his great achievements under the command of the Sima family, and he has just defected to the emperor at this moment, and he has received such a reward, and Cheng Yan almost cried.
Cao Chao didn't care about their origins, nor did he care whether they were proficient in scriptures, and those who made meritorious contributions should be rewarded.
Cheng Ji was even happier, he felt that his brother's title had half of his own credit.
If it weren't for himself, how could my brother be where he is today?
Looking at Cheng Yan in front of him, who was grateful to himself, Cao Chao patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Cheng Jun? You are good at commanding cavalry, and in the future, the major affairs of Liangzhou may have to be handed over to you! ”
After the reward was completed, Cao Chao suddenly looked at Yanghu.
"Let Ma Xiaoxing get ready, tomorrow we will go to the camp, and Zhonghui can send someone to come?"
Yanghu hurriedly said: "Zhong Gong has not sent anyone yet. ”
Cao Chao frowned, "Then wait for his news, if there is no news from him before noon tomorrow, then we will set off by ourselves." ”
"Yui!!"
Yewang County.
Zhong Hui calmly looked at the big camp in the distance and looked at Chen Ben on the side.
"Gong Chen, all the soldiers stationed here are under your command."
"Can you appease them?"
Chen Ben's appearance is similar to Chen Qian, but his personality is diametrically opposite, Chen Ben said solemnly: "I don't have a tiger talisman and a general seal, I'm afraid that they won't obey my orders anymore." ”
"This is easy to do, I have the emperor's edict here."
Zhong Hui took out an edict, and then said: "If it can be done this time, there will probably be a place for you in the temple." ”
"If you fail, you'll have to end up like my brother."
Chen Ben kept a straight face and did not refute anything.
He is different from He Zeng, when Zhong Hui sent someone to find him, he used a letter from his younger brother Chen Qian, and Chen Qian directly informed Chen Ben of the situation in Luoyang truthfully, and asked Chen Ben not to make a wrong choice at such a critical time.
Although Chen Ben had some discord with his younger brother, after learning about the situation in Luoyang, he decisively chose to rebel.
Mainly because Chen Ben has too much black material, after the fall of Sima Zhao, if there is no one to protect him, he will have a big incident.
Chen Ben had previously done a little thing in Hebei according to Sima Shi's order.
Once this matter is leaked out, not only Chen Ben, but his entire clan is afraid that it will not be liquidated.
Chen Ben was still very decisive at this time, and he did not hesitate at all, he came to help the emperor on his own initiative, that is, he wanted to make meritorious contributions.
Zhong Hui gestured into the distance, "Then let's go." ”
"We??"
Chen Benhu looked at him suspiciously, "Zhong Jun wants to go with me?" ”
"Why, you think I don't trust you?"
Chen Ben said helplessly: "The generals in the camp must have been replaced by Sima Zhao, and I don't dare to say that I am completely sure of my going, but they may not dare to kill me, just you."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Zhong Hui knew what he meant, those people didn't dare to kill him even if they didn't listen to Chen Ben's orders, but he was a stranger to them, and his life would be in danger if he didn't know it.
Zhong Hui laughed disdainfully, "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you assist the Holy King?" ”
"If I die in the army today, there will be men who seek justice for me."
"Needless to say! Come with me! ”
Chen Ben glanced at the people around him again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder you can climb to this position at your age.
Immediately, they got into the carriage and set off towards the military camp in the distance.
Because of the distance between Yewang and the state and county, he didn't realize what was going on over there.
When the patrolling armor saw the approaching team, they were extremely flustered and reacted quickly, and soon, Chen Ben and Zhong Hui were surrounded by them.
Chen Ben grimaced and walked to the torch.
"I'm General Zhenbei!!"
"Let the lieutenants come and see me!!"
