Chapter 166: Capturing Cao Chao alive
Wuchang County.
Sun Hao sat on the top seat, and the important ministers and generals who accompanied him on the expedition stood on either side of him.
The newly favored Shang Shucen stood closest to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao looked at the people in front of him seriously, and he said seriously: "I want to get rid of the scourge of Cao thief for the world!" ”
"First defeat Biqiu Jian and Hu Zun, take Qingxu Huainan, point at Luoyang, and capture Cao Chao!!"
"I want to tie up Cao Chao and make him ask the people of the world to plead guilty!!"
The more Sun Hao spoke, the more excited he became.
Those who don't know think they're the dominant side!
At this moment, Sun Hao didn't seem to care much about the war, he was looking forward to the day when he could enter the Central Plains, capture Cao Chao alive, and complete the great cause.
Speaking of which, in terms of ambition, Sun Hao is still better than his predecessors, at least he really wants the lord of the world, and most of his predecessors just want to protect themselves.
Sun Hao said this, in fact, there is still some motivation, the generals who were still dull and had a serious fear of the Wei people felt full of courage at this moment, as if they could catch Cao Chao at any time.
This guy painted his hopes for the future to everyone, and then looked at the generals.
"Ladies and gentlemen!! I am not good at fighting, this crusade against Biqiu Jian and Hu Zun, I will leave it to the generals to do, and I will never interfere! ”
"I will stay here in Wuchang, beat the drum and cheer for the generals, and wait for the generals to triumph!"
The generals saluted Sun Hao.
Subsequently, Sun Hao issued a lot of edicts, he promoted many generals, and gave them all kinds of rewards.
He handed over the matter of facing Biqiu Jian and Hu Zun to Shi Ji and Ding Feng.
And Lu Kang was responsible for repelling Wang Ji, Shi Bao, Huo Yi and others.
His father-in-law was guarding Wuchang, responsible for protecting Sun Hao and liaising with the two-line army.
It can also be seen that Wu Guo's generals are already seriously insufficient.
There are very few people who can serve as commanders of the first army, and there are only a few commanders left who can get their hands on it, not only at the top level, but also at the middle and bottom levels.
Because the rulers of the state of Wu were talented, a large number of outstanding talents were slaughtered and exiled, and the rest ran away.
In the middle and upper echelons, there are almost no generals in Wu who can be one-on-one with the opposite side, there are names and surnames, and there are no ones who can say their names and let the enemy know
Many generals were temporarily promoted by Sun Hao, either because of his father's past cronies, or because they were related to Sun Hao himself.
Sun Hao rarely did not set up another banquet, and after the reading was completed, he let them leave.
Shi Ji did not leave.
Sun Hao was a little surprised, and immediately called him to his side.
"Shi Qing, but what's the play?"
Shi Ji said at this time: "Your Majesty, the morale of the Cao thieves is booming, and it is really not suitable to compete with them head-on at this moment."
Sun Hao was a little displeased, "Is the general unwilling to fight?" ”
"It's not that the minister doesn't want to go, the minister just said that after arriving at the battlefield, he really can't confront the Cao thief head-on, you can first divide the troops to defend the cities in various places, frustrate their spirit, and then take advantage of the opportunity of their division of troops."
Sun Hao interrupted Shi Ji's words very rudely.
"Didn't I say it? I don't know much about the war, so I'll leave it to you, so why do you want to tell me about these things? ”
Shi Ji hurriedly explained: "The old minister is just worried that someone will slander around His Majesty, accusing the minister of having no intention of attacking, and only knowing how to defend."
Sun Hao suddenly realized, and he said seriously: "How can anyone around me know about the war? If you know about the war but don't dare to go on the war, wouldn't you be disloyal to me? If there were such people, I would not be merciful to them! ”
In any case, Shi Ji can be regarded as having made up his mind, and he got up and bowed to Sun Hao again.
"Your Majesty, the minister will lead the troops there!!"
Sun Hao didn't say anything more, and Shi Ji quickly left here.
Sun Hao immediately summoned his current henchman Cen Duan.
Sun Hao's henchmen around him will change often, Sun Hao will be a person who will be very fond of a minister for a period of time, extremely loving, but these people will still die in the hands of Sun Hao in the end, and then Sun Hao will continue to be favored by another person.
Today's favored object is Cen Dusk.
The two of them were still drinking, and Sun Hao suddenly asked, "What do you think of Shi Ji?" ”
Cen shook his head with a smile, "I don't know." ”
Sun Hao laughed and continued to eat and drink with him.
Among the many henchmen around Sun Hao, Cen Hao has the greatest notoriety in later generations, and it is said that because he was written into it, so his name will be passed on to future generations, and Cen Hao is indeed not a good thing, but among Sun Hao's many henchmen, he is the only minister who has never framed others.
This person expanded the scope of Sun Hao's toss a little.
At his initiative, Sun Hao began to build a large number of buildings, and even the middle and lower classes could not escape.
Sun Hao sang here night and night, but fortunately, he didn't interfere in the war, Shi Ji got a good opportunity, and now Shi Ji doesn't care about the temple at all, Sun Hao wants to move the capital before, he doesn't speak, Sun Hao wants to kill people, he doesn't object, anyway, he is now completing the emperor's task, and he doesn't care about other things.
Qichun County, Qichun County.
Ding Feng looked at the map in front of him, frowned, and was very entangled.
Now Wu is on the defensive in an all-round way, Wen Qin himself is attacking Qichun County, Jiang Ban under his command is attacking Yi County, and Le Qi is attacking Xunyang. Hu Zun was storming Tangyi, Guangling, Hailing and other county seats, and the battle situation was not optimistic.
In addition to these major county seats, a large amount of land in the two counties fell into the hands of the enemy.
The only relatively calm area is the central area of Lujiang County, where the governance is located, and there is no attack here.
Biqiujian's army appeared in the area of Tangyi to assist Hu Zun in breaking the city.
Ding Feng was a little confused about the enemy's deployment.
However, the defender always has an advantage over the attacker.
Under today's strategic deployment, Ding Feng controls those major cities, and even if the surrounding areas fall, these counties can be firmly controlled by the Wu State.
At this moment, a scout hurried in.
"General!!"
Ding Feng looked at the man, who hurriedly delivered the latest edict to Ding Feng.
Ding Feng looked at it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Inform the soldiers!" General Shi Ji led an army of 100,000 from Wuchang to us!! ”
There are probably not 100,000 people who have made achievements.
However, in this era, everyone is accustomed to calling the number a little more, to deter the enemy, and at the same time to boost the confidence of the people on their side.
Ding Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Shi Ji comes, then he will have a lot less pressure here.
There were too many places for Ding Feng to defend, and the number of enemies was very large, and in many places, a few thousand Wu people had to resist the strong attack of tens of thousands of Wei people, and the difference in numbers was several times.
Fortunately, these cities are tall and strong, and the enemy is not so easy to attack.
But the gap in hard power still makes Ding Feng very worried, especially on the side of Hu Zun and Biqiu Jian, Guangling County has been broken by them, you must know that Jianye can be seen from Guangling across the river!
Wu's navy had already blocked the river, for fear that Hu Zun would directly cross the river to capture Jianye.
The situation has reached this point.
"Report !!"
Suddenly, another scout burst in.
The man looked even more flustered than the previous one, gasping for breath and trembling as he handed the letter to Ding Feng.
Ding Feng picked up the letter, looked at it a few times, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him.
"Hailing has also fallen?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Ding Feng couldn't sit still any longer, and he hurriedly gathered many generals.
When the generals entered the study, Ding Feng looked very bad, he was staring at the map in front of him, his face was very uncalm.
"Biqiu Jian's army is converging with Hu Zun, they have broken through Guangling, and now they have broken through Hailing, I think they want to join forces to take Tangyi next, it is said that the warships of the two of them are heading towards this side, and there have been several battles with our warships along the way, and their thief ship has appeared near Guangling!!"
Ding Feng's voice trembled when he said this.
Several generals were shocked.
An adjutant general asked, "General, didn't you say that the enemy's goal was Qichun County?" Why did it suddenly become Jianye? ”
Ding Feng looked at the people in front of him at this moment.
"Our prediction is wrong, the enemy's purpose is not to take Qi Chun at all, they want to fight Jianye Hu Zun, Hu Zun!!"
"I heard a long time ago that Hu Zun is greedy for merit and has never forgotten the position of the general, they may have wanted to take Qi Chun at first, but Hu Zun changed his strategy for his own interests, he wanted to take Jianye, so Biqiu Jian has not launched an attack, only Wen Qin is here to storm and attack, this is to make us feel that their main attack direction and strategy are here This is misleading us!"
"Hu Zun doesn't care about Qi Chun at all, and he doesn't care about Wen Qin, he just wants to make a great contribution to be his general!"
Everyone suddenly had a new guess, and they hurriedly marked the current location of several major armies on the map.
At this moment, they suddenly realized.
Ding Feng pointed to the map in front of him and said: "General Shi will first encounter Wenqin's army when he leaves Wuchang, Hu Zun's idea is to let Wenqin keep us in Qichun, and he himself will cross the river with Biqiu Jian to capture Jianye!" ”
"Today, Hu Zun's army is constantly entering Guangling and other places, and Biqiu Jian's army is constantly rushing to Tangyi and other places, they want to follow the original Deng Ai, entangle our army, and then attack Jianye directly and take Jiangdong."
At this moment, the generals finally understood why Ding Feng was a little flustered, if the enemy killed Jiangdong, it would really be a big deal!
"General, what are we going to do?"
Ding Feng slowly raised his head, "Don't worry, this is also a good opportunity for us." ”
"Crossing the river to fight, how can it be so easy, the enemy's main generals have selfish intentions, and they will definitely be defeated!"
