Chapter 240: Ma Teng enters Xudu, and Deng Zhi enters Liangzhou
When Sun Ren heard Lu Yi say this, he cried and said, "I have no mother, and I will have no mother in the future." ”
Sun Quan stood aside dumbfounded.
I had a father when I was a child.
When I grow up, I have a brother.
Later there was a mother.
Nowadays, there is no one to shelter yourself from the elements.
Seeing Mrs. Wu's eyes widen and motionless, Sun Quan felt that he was getting old in an instant.
There is no one left to save themselves.
The only one who can save himself and save his younger brothers is himself.
Sun Quan's tears rolled down again at this time.
He never wanted to lose any loved ones again.
I don't want to be scared anymore.
What bullshit power.
What a bullshit inheritance.
Nowadays, there is nothing!
Zhou Yu and Mrs. Wu both died, causing quite a stir throughout Jiangdong.
Of these two people, one is the culprit who led Sun Ce to enter Jiangdong.
One is Sun Ce's mother.
Back then, the Zhou family, who did not have Zhou Yu, vigorously supported Sun Ce to enter Jiangdong, and Jiangdong was a little stable under the rule of Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan.
Although during the great drought, many people died.
However, those are ordinary people.
The head of the family is alive and well.
After Sun Ce's invasion, there was killing everywhere.
Many nobles and even entire clans were slaughtered.
The deaths of Yu Ji and the famous scholar Sheng Xian made the anger of the major scholars reach the peak.
Now, with the death of these two people, all kinds of grievances and hatreds are over.
When Lu Yi was preparing for Mrs. Wu's funeral.
Xu Du.
North Gate of the City.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other civil and military officials are gathering together.
They were waiting for Ma Teng and Han Sui's hostages.
Before, Zhong Xuan, the captain of Sili, relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui to enter the court as officials.
Among them, Han Sui sent his son-in-law Yan Xing to escort his second son to Xu Du as a hostage.
Ma Teng personally brought several sons to Xudu!
Yesterday, the messengers of Ma Teng and Han Sui sent a letter, and the two of them will rush to the north gate of Xudu this morning.
Therefore, Cao Cao came out with hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him.
Ma Teng and Han Sui's entry into the DPRK also means that Guanzhong has stabilized!
Cao Cao had just dealt with the edict seven days ago, and killed a hundred civil and military officials who rebelled against him.
Now Guanzhong has stabilized again.
He has no worries in Xudu.
After he was ready to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui's second son, he immediately went to Guandu to prepare for formal contact with Yuan Shao.
Now that winter is in place, everyone is shivering with cold.
Cao Cao kept stomping his feet and rubbing his hands, and said to Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others with a smile: "Lu Yi'er, you really have some skills, you can actually stop Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops from going south, and you also killed the general Wen Chou. ”
Before Liu Bei defected, he took away 20,000 soldiers, and killed the general Che Zhou sent out by Shouchun to intercept him, but Cao Cao and his party were in a hurry.
Liu Bei's strength is not bad, and he has such a large army, and then unites Yuan Shao to attack Xuzhou, Cao Cao and his party are really worried that Xuzhou will be defeated.
Once Xuzhou was taken, if Yuan Shao's army went south to Xuzhou to give up directly attacking Jiangdong and transferred to Xudu, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Cao Cao even thought about surrendering outright.
Once Xuzhou was defeated, he had no way to face Yuan Shao's two armies alone.
Because, his army was moved to Guandu, ready to shake the army led by Yuan Shao himself.
Xu Du was almost defenseless.
Except for the favored government office, some old and weak soldiers do city defense, and there is no other military force.
Unexpectedly, three days ago, a battle report came from Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao's army went south to Xuzhou and was defeated once.
Not only was he defeated, but the commander of the 6,000 cavalry, General Wen Chou, was also stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, the commander of the Xuzhou cavalry.
Hearing this news, Cao Cao slept directly.
can resist this wave of attacks by Yuan Shao's southward Xuzhou army, and can still have such a record, he has no doubt about Jiangdong's strength.
Thinking that Lu Yi was sitting in Wu County, his generals were able to fight alone to achieve such a record, which greatly changed Cao Cao's opinion of this son-in-law.
Guo Jia heard Cao Cao say this, and said with a smile: "Sikong, this Wu Hou is not the other Wu Hou." He can change from a member of the Lu family to such a family business, how can he not have the ability? It's just that it's powerful, and it also pushes us to a corner. ”
"After beating Yuan Shao, we have to move the capital."
"Otherwise, when the time comes, he will definitely part ways with us."
Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "Yes, if you are lucky enough to take Yuan Shao, this kid will turn around and come towards us nine times out of ten." ”
"Hefei."
"Wancheng."
"These two important lands are in his hands."
"Every day I feel like two blades hanging over my head, and I panic."
"Fortunately, this kid is measured, he knows that his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, and he still wants to rely on us to share the pressure of Yuan Shao's southward journey."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be standing here today."
"By the way, who is this Zhao Yun under investigation? I've never heard of his reputation before, why is this battle so brave! Wen Chou is one of Yuan Shao's most trusted generals, and he will be picked by him. ”
Guo Jia said: "Someone has been sent to investigate." ”
Cao Cao nodded, remembered something again, looked at Xun You, and asked, "Gongda, is there any other news from Xuzhou recently?" ”
Xun You said: "Yes, intelligence has recently shown that the mastermind of Yuan Shao's army that went south to Xuzhou was Zhou Yu, and it seems that he is dead." ”
Cao Cao: "Huh? He was surprised: "How could you die?" Is it exact information? ”
Xun You shook his head and said, "Not exactly. The information does not go into details, it is just speculation, and at the moment, it is being confirmed. ”
Cao Cao frowned and said, "If the mastermind Zhou Yu is really dead, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us. ”
"In case Yuan Shao's road south to Xuzhou is completely blocked, or even the Jiangdong Army counterattacks-"
Cao Cao hissed.
Guo Jia laughed, shook his head and said, "This, it's impossible." ”
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jiadao: "Jiangdong has been fighting in recent years, and has won Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places. ”
"The territory has indeed expanded, but the people are not united, and this situation is actually very dangerous, and there may be a rebellion at any time."
"That's why Marquis Wu eagerly sent two envoys to ally us."
"In order to buy as much time as possible to recuperate, to settle down, and to consolidate the interior."
"Now that Yuan Shao is going south, except for the battlefield in Xuzhou, there is no war in Jiangdong again, and moreover, taxes are being reduced everywhere, and universities have been opened in Wu County to recruit talents everywhere."
"These can be confirmed from the side, in a short period of time, at least in the past two or three years, even if Jiangdong has the opportunity to counterattack Yuan Shao, they will not attack, they will only consolidate their current territory."
"Moreover, Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and the like."
"One or two defeats will not affect his strength."
Guo Jia said to Cao Cao with a serious face: "Sikong, we must be prepared for a long battle. ”
"Also, Sikong, now that the war is coming, don't look ahead."
"Although we should be careful of Jiangdong's backstabbing, now, we should do our best to deal with Yuan Shao."
"Yuan Shao is not generally comparable, if he can't resist it, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Cao Cao nodded, sighed faintly and said, "It's a pity." ”
Cheng Yu said curiously: "What is the pity of Ming Gong? ”
Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that Lu Yi'er is a son-in-law, not a son. If he is the son of my Cao Cao, now in the world, half of them have already started. Yuan Shao is not my opponent. ”
At that moment, someone shouted, "Here we are!" ”
Cao Cao shook his head, removed all kinds of distracting thoughts from his mind, and looked north.
Sure enough, countless black dots appeared on the horizon.
These black dots approach quickly.
In a short time, it turned into thousands of cavalry.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Xiliang Iron Ride, it really deserves its reputation. After that, it belongs to us! ”
As he spoke, he greeted him.
Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other civil and military officials followed.
Soon, the two sides met.
A middle-aged man with a tall height and a dark face hurriedly got off his war horse and saluted Cao Cao: "The criminal minister Ma Teng has seen Sikong!" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly picked up Ma Teng and said with a smile: "Why do you say that the sinners are here? General Ma has been a Hanchen for generations, but he lost his mind a few years ago. Now that I have lost my way back, this is the luck of General Ma and the luck of the court! ”
"The Son of Heaven is already waiting for General Ma's arrival in the palace."
made a gesture of inviting Ma Teng, and Cao Cao said, "General Ma, please!" ”
Ma Teng also hurriedly made a gesture of first invitation.
Cao Cao laughed out loud and took Ma Teng's hand and walked towards the city gate.
Behind Ma Teng, a group of young men and women followed closely.
Cao Cao asked Ma Teng, "General Ma, how many family members did you bring this time?" Who is left to guard Liangzhou? ”
Ma Teng said with a smile: "This time, except for the eldest son Ma Chao and daughter Ma Yunlu, the other children have all been brought. ”
Cao Cao was curious: "Can Ling Lang be able to control Liangzhou?" ”
Marten laughed.
A young man spoke up: "My brother is heroic and powerful, even in the face of Lu Bu!" Moreover, he was cultivated by his father, and he was a model of filial piety and bravery for us! ”
Ma Teng said to Cao Cao: "This is the second son Ma Xiu." ”
Cao Cao glanced back at Ma Xiu and praised: "The tiger father has no dogs, he is really a young hero!" ”
Ma Teng pointed to the young man next to Ma Xiu and said, "This is Han Yu, the second son of Brother Han." ”
Han Yu hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Han Yu said hello to Sikong for his father!" ”
Cao Cao said again and again: "Okay! Good! Good! ”
Ma Teng pointed to a young general next to Han Yu with a serious face and half a head taller than everyone else, and said, "Sikong, this is Brother Han's son-in-law, Yan Xing, Yan Yanming, who is brave. ”
"Yan Yanming is brave and fierce, not under the dog Ma Chao."
"In the early years, he had just joined the army Brother Han, and he didn't know the dog Ma Chao, so he had a misunderstanding, fought once, and almost seriously injured the dog."
Yan Xing hugged his fists at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "They are all young heroes, the luck of the court!" ”
When Cao Cao and Ma Teng met and entered the Xu capital.
The west gate of Chang'an City.
A young man had the gate guard check the way.
The city gate guard looked at the content on the road and said, "Jingzhou new savage? Deng Zhi? Why are you here? Where are you going? ”
Deng Zhi smiled and said, "General, what else can I do?" I'm just a common man! This time I am going to Liangzhou, and I want to buy some horses and sell them to our Central Plains. ”
"These Liangzhou horses are all first-class."
"Very liked."
After saying that, a string of pearls slipped out of his sleeve and slid into the hands of the city gate guards.
Deng Zhi pressed the other party's hand, covered Mingzhu with his sleeve, and said with a flattering smile: "The general is a person who does great things at first glance, and he will be a real general in the future!" ”
The city gate guard handed the guide back to Deng Zhi, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, there is still a queue behind!" ”
Deng Zhi hurriedly thanked him, and walked slowly in the direction of Huaili with one person, one horse and one pot of wine.
