Chapter 53: Didn't you say you wanted to be my father-in-law?
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
Just when Dong Huang was thinking about how to let his subordinates have more babies, so that the babies could continue to fight for their great cause, Dong Huang's enemies were not in the mood to have babies, and even Cao Cao, who loved his wife, had not touched a woman for a long time.
At this time, Cao Cao was being beaten by Gao Shun.
As the son of the Mandate of Heaven, Cao Cao's luck was not bad, after the fiasco of the Battle of Luoyang, Sun Cao and Liu Yuan, the sons of the Mandate of Heaven, escaped together.
Cao Cao, who escaped with his life, did not choose to rely on others like Liu Bei and Sun Jian, but went to Yanzhou with the support of Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao is Chen Liu's guard, after the battle of Luoyang, he has been frightened, although he is unwilling to surrender Dong Zhuo, but he also does not want to face the Xiliang army again, so he simply gave Chen Liu to Cao Cao, let Cao Cao be Chen Liu's guard.
It just so happened that Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was also buried in the belly of the fish, and Jibei also became a borderless land, which was unceremoniously taken by Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao finally have a foundation!
It just so happened that Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was also arrogant and gave Cao Cao a lot of money to support him in recruiting troops, which made Cao Cao finally recover a little strength.
At the same time as recruiting troops, Cao Cao also sent people to Tao Qian and other nearby princes to tell him about the benefits, and finally borrowed 30,000 people from Tao Qian, and with other messy soldiers and horses, Cao Cao already had 60,000 people.
Although there were still very few real elites among the 60,000 people, most of them were at the level of Dong Huang's people, but they finally gave Cao Cao and the Yanzhou wealthy family a certain amount of confidence.
For a time, the entire Yanzhou actually had the intention of throwing all of them under Cao Cao's command.
There is no way, who makes the reputation of the Dong family too bad, as long as they can resist Dong Zhuo, the Yanzhou Shi clan gate lord does not mind defecting to Cao Cao.
With the support of the Yanzhou scholars, Cao Cao not only got outstanding talents such as Chen Gong, Li Quan, and Li Dian, but also improved his troops again, and his equipment became more and more sophisticated.
This made Cao Cao's confidence swell again, and he even wanted to go west again by surprise.
However, before Cao Cao could act, Gao Shun had already arrived.
The task of Gao Shun's department was to take advantage of the situation to attack Yanzhou, Chenliu and other counties and Baimajin, and the department inevitably clashed with Cao Cao.
Just established, the soldiers are only Cao Cao's troops who have not been fully integrated in number, and the frontal battle is not the opponent of Gao Shun's department at all, in the first battle, Gao Shun's department fell into the camp and broke Cao Ren's department; In the second battle, Gao Shun's troops killed Li Quan; In the third battle, Gao Shun's division captured Baimajin.
The field battle was bound to be defeated, and Cao Cao could only retreat to Chen Liucheng to confront Gao Shun and wait for the fighters. The pressure from all sides weighed him down, and he had headaches.
Also in a bad mood is Lu Bu.
Determined to rebel, Lü Bu decided to attack Hanoi to cut off the retreat of Dong Huang's army, and then join forces with Liu Biao and others to annihilate Dong Huang's troops.
His plan was supported not only by Tachibana Rika, but also by Wang Ze, who had a great contribution to his capture of Jinyang, and Wei Qi, who had newly defected.
Especially Wang Ze's support made Lu Bu more confident.
Wang Ze is a member of the Jinyang Wang clan, that is, the Taiyuan Wang clan in later generations, when he was the Taishou of the county, his brother Wang Rou was the general of Hu Xiongnu Zhonglang, the Taishou of Yanmen, and he also had a son Wang Chang, who became the hussar general and Sikong of Cao Wei.
When Lu Bu attacked Jinyang under the banner of the imperial court and Dong Zhuo, Wang Ze happened to be in Jinyang's hometown, and he felt that Lu Bu was menacing, so it was better to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty first, and the Wang family accepted his suggestion and opened the city to welcome Wang Shi.
Lu Bu is a rough person, who understands the difference between welcoming Wang Shi and welcoming him, and thinks that the Taiyuan Wang family supports him, introduces Wang Ze as a confidant, and does not avoid Wang Ze when he rebels against Dong Zhuo.
Seeing that everyone agreed to go south to Hanoi, Lu Bu did not hesitate, and immediately led a large army to the battle, and then hit Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Jiang Qin and broke his head.
Huang Zhong and others, who had long been preparing for Lu Bu's rebellion, first ambushed the vanguard troops that almost completely annihilated Lu Bu, and then set up camp in danger, forcing Lu Bu's army to cross the thunder pool.
Seeing that Lu Bu's offensive was frustrated and it was difficult to win, Wang Ze, who was with the army, couldn't help but launch a backhand.
If Lü Bu can quickly capture Hanoi, cut off the retreat of Dong Huang's army, and finally annihilate Dong Huang's army, Lü Bu will undoubtedly be a victor worthy of assistance; But since Lu Bu's every move was expected by Dong Huang, then Lu Bu, who has no foundation, is destined to become a loser!
Wang Ze will definitely not be on the side of the loser.
After receiving Wang Ze's order, one of the two dead soldiers of the Wang family risked his life to inform Tai Shici of Lu Bujun's falsehood, and the other saw Wang Ze's eldest son Wang Chang and passed Wang Ze's order to him.
After Wang Chang received the order, he immediately went to Huguan, persuaded the Huguan guards, and then went straight to Yecheng.
Dong Huang was not impressed by Wang Chang, a young man, but he was very interested in the strategy proposed by Wang Chang.
Wang Chang told Dong Huang that as long as Wang Shi entered the annexed state, Taiyuan County, Yanmen County and Dai County of Youzhou would immediately change banners, and the Taiyuan Wang clan was willing to help Dong Huang put down the Lü Bu rebellion.
Wang Chang even laid out the route for Dong Huang to enter the state, as long as Dong Huang wanted, he could enter the state from Huguan at any time, and at that time, the flag would be lowered north of Huguan, and Lu Bu, who was cut off from the back road, was the turtle in the urn!
Dong Huang was very interested in Wang Chang's strategy, and immediately consulted Jia Xu, who had no opinion on it.
So Dong Huang immediately ordered the tool people Zhang Xiu and Yu Ban to be the vanguard and go to Huguan.
After Zhang Xiu and Yu Ban easily controlled Huguan and did not find any abnormalities, Dong Huang's main force entered the state, and the Taiyuan Wang clan really exerted their strength as promised, Taiyuan County, Dai County, and Yanmen County changed banners one after another, and even Shangdang County was lost because of Huguan, and a large number of county towns were surrendered.
At this point, the situation in Bingzhou changed abruptly, and Lu Bu did not react at all, his army had been compressed in a narrow area south of Huguan and north of Hanoi, not only lost the supply of grain and grass, but also because most of the soldiers' families were near Jinyang, they became prisoners of Dong Huang's army, and the people were panicked.
"Bastard, Vertical Zian dares to bully me!"
In the camp, Lu Bu indignantly chopped up the case.
He didn't expect Wang Ze to dare to play him! Wang Ze obviously promised him that when he defeated Dong Huang, he would marry his daughter to him!
But when Lu Bu wanted to settle accounts with Wang Ze, he found that Wang Ze didn't know when he had escaped. This made Lu Bukong full of anger, but there was nowhere to vent.
"Lord, for today's plan, there is only one desperate fight!"
Wei Qi, who had a deep blood feud with Dong Huang, opened his mouth to persuade: "No one would have thought that Liu Biao would be so useless, and no one would have expected Wang Ze to be so shameless!" But the matter has come to this point, and the lord can only have a chance of life if he fights a bloody way! ”
"Will the plan be released?"
Lu Bu grabbed Wei Qi's hand.
To be honest, Lu Bu at this time was already out of order, he couldn't figure it out, obviously he was still the king of Bingzhou a few days ago, as if it was not difficult to dominate the world, how could he have become the overlord of Chu in the blink of an eye, and he was in a desperate situation!
This is not scientific!
"When the former overlord broke the cauldron!"
Wei Qi cut the railway.
