Chapter 295: The Great Military Parade
Cao Cao lowered his face, raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and pressed the lance down: "Yuan Ying, what's wrong with this lyrics?"
Everyone saw that this person's surname was Liu Mingfu and Yuan Ying, and he was Cao Cao's hometown and a native of Peiguo. ◢ With the *dream * small ◢.1a founded the state governance in Heqi, gathered the fleeing people, established a school, Guangtuntian, and revitalized the teaching, with outstanding achievements and outstanding talents.
When Cao Cao's soldiers went south, they brought more than 100 civilian officials. Because Cao Cao thought that if the soldiers crossed the river, they would be able to get Sun Quan's six counties and eighty-one prefectures in Jiangdong. With these people, it will be good to arrange local officials after winning Jiangdong in the future, so Cao Cao has ordered Liu Fu to assassinate Yangzhou.
But at this time, Yangzhou was still in the hands of Sun Quan.
"Prime Minister, the moon and stars are scarce, the black magpie flies south, and there are three turns around the tree, and there are no branches to rely on. How can you say that we are homeless in our decisive battle with Soochow?"
Cao Cao was furious and secretly said: "You are a literati with a false name, how dare you talk nonsense here!"
"Yuan Ying, I thought about Zhou Gong for a while, and I intended to bring the world to my heart, not an unlucky word. Cao Cao said patiently.
"Prime Minister, the meaning of the words is indeed unlucky, and the lyrics and songs are melancholy and incomprehensible. "Liu Fu is indomitable.
"Bastard, you don't understand at all, you dare to destroy my poetry!" Cao Cao was furious.
Cao Cao was only five steps away from Liu Fu at this time, and as soon as he raised his hand, the golden lance went straight to Liu Fu's chest. His martial arts were originally taught by famous teachers, and he has been tempered by battles for a long time over the years, how can Liu Fu, a civil official, resist it? He was even more defenseless, and he never expected Cao Cao to stab him with a lance. The gold-topped jujube lance stabbed forward, and Liu Fu screamed miserably, and fell on the board of the ship, dying.
Everyone was shocked and stunned for a moment. After a moment's pause, Xun You saw the opportunity the fastest and said, "Prime Minister, are you drunk?"
But Cao Cao knew in his heart that he was not drunk, so could he not sing this "Short Song Xing"? It's just that this Liu Fu is really too ignorant of current affairs, and he speaks straight This is a hard injury, and it also depends on who he is not right? Just as the big war is imminent, but he has repeatedly emphasized that this battle will be lost, can Cao Cao not be annoyed and ashamed?
But it is not appropriate to kill the hero in front of everyone, as soon as Xun You asked, Cao Cao knew that he was giving himself a step down, and threw the lance at the moment, and his body shook: "Drunk me!"
It's like you're really drunk. The servants next to him waited and helped Cao Cao back to the treasure tent. Of course, everyone parted unhappily. Who dared to touch Liu Fu? Cao Cao didn't say anything. Cao Cao tossed for half a night, and the wine also woke up, and he couldn't help but regret when he remembered what happened last night. After dawn, he ordered someone to invite Cheng Yu and Xun You.
"Two gentlemen, I made a mistake when I was drunk last night, and I raised my hand and stabbed Liu Fu to death, I'm so sorry for Yuan Ying. In the future, the two gentlemen will supervise me, and Cao should quit drinking. ”
The two of them thought that this was not looking for death? They could only persuade Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, don't be sad, now you can only call Liu Fu's son, add more rewards, and bury Liu Fu with generous gifts." ”
"That's all there is to it. Zhongde, you brought Liu Xi for me. ”
It didn't take long for Liu Xi to enter the tent, and his father was stabbed to death by Cao Cao, but he had to kneel down for Cao Cao, and said with tears in his eyes: "Meet the prime minister." ”
Cao Cao left the couch to help Liu Xi up, and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Virtuous nephew, I drank too much last night and accidentally injured your father, and now I can't regret it." People cannot be resurrected after death, so I hope you will not hold a grudge against me. I will bury your father with the gift of the Three Princes. ”
"Prime Minister Xie!" Liu Xi originally thought that he would not be able to escape death this time, but when he saw Cao Cao's attitude, he finally escaped, so he said: "It's my father who collided with the prime minister after drinking and made disrespectful remarks, how can I hold a grudge?"
"Okay, I'll immediately send five hundred military academies to escort his coffin back to his hometown for burial. After your filial piety is full, you will succeed your father as the assassin of Yangzhou. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and his heart said that Lao Tzu didn't know the current affairs, but his son was quite well-behaved.
"Prime Minister Xie. ”
On the second day, Cao Cao personally sent Liu Fu's coffin out of the camp. Back in the Chinese military tent, the officer on duty immediately entered the account and reported: "Back to the prime minister, Mao Jue and Yu Ban both supervise, see." ”
"Oh, call the two of them into the account. ”
Mao Jue and Yu Ban walked into the big tent: "Meet the prime minister." ”
"What do you see of me?"
"Back to the prime minister, all the large and small ships in the army are connected, and the flag and battle equipment are all ready, waiting for the prime minister's dispatch to march at any time. ”
"Okay, I'll take a look at it myself. Cao Cao obviously praised the efficiency of the two.
The two generals accompanied Cao Cao to the water village and boarded the central war ship. Cao Cao looked around, and the camp of the sailors was endless, winding for dozens of miles. They were neatly arranged, and all the ships were chained together and covered with thick and wide planks. The waves went up, the hull of the ship did not shake, and the soldiers were full of spirit.
Cao Cao was very happy and ordered: "Pass my order, and all the generals will be neatly draped and come to the central war ship to wait for the order." ”
After a while, the generals had finished their salutes, standing on both sides, Cao Cao said: "Generals, our army is about to fight with Eastern Wu, from today onwards, the naval army will obey the movement of Mao Jue and Yu Ban, the battleships will be readjusted, and the Mabu army camp on the riverbank will be commanded by me personally. The water village in the river and the big village on the river bank are all arranged in a five-sided array, which is convenient for command and mobilization. ”
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao reorganized the water division with the five elements formation of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and made corresponding adjustments on land in order to be foolproof. Cao Cao sat in the middle tent, and ordered Cao Hong to be the envoy of the waterway, and Zhang Liao and Xu Chu to be the envoys of the guards.
After all the generals received the order, Cao Cao ordered Mao Jue and Yu Ban: "The two of you will immediately drill the navy, and the old man and the generals will watch the battle." ”
"Obey. ”
Mao Jue and Yu Ban immediately held the order flag and commanded the navy. Cannons, drums, and trumpets sounded, and the soldiers in the water village were waiting for the order to set off. Mao Jue and Yu waved the banner of the forbidden order, and all kinds of warships stepped out of the water. At this time, the northwest wind tightened again, and the warship immediately pulled up the sails, and rushed the waves in the river, steady as flat ground, and the soldiers stood on the big ship and let the wind blow and the waves, each holding knives, guns and sticks, and the shouting of killing was deafening, but there was no strangeness of water war at all.
At this time, fifty small boats suddenly rushed out of the water village, patrolling and shuttling back and forth among the warships, shouting loudly to boost morale. Cao Cao was overjoyed in his heart, twisted his beard with his hand, and pointed at Jiangdong: "Sun Quan'er, the big break in Jiangdong is today, this is God to help me! Mr. Feng Xiao offered a plan to connect the boats, and sure enough, crossing the river was like walking on the ground." Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, persuading you to give you a way to live, but you are so stubborn!"
Cao Cao was happy in his heart: "Pass on my generals, all the warships will drop their sails, return to the water village, and be ready for a decisive battle with Jiangdong at any time." ”
"Prime Minister, although we were born in the land of Youyan and are not accustomed to water warfare, today we are willing to ask for an order from a general in front of the Prime Minister and go to the camp at the mouth of the three rivers to capture the flag to show the prestige of our army. ”
Cao Cao looked sideways, and it turned out to be Hebei generals Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan.
"The spirit of the two generals is commendable, but the big ships are already connected, and it is inconvenient to disassemble, so I don't think it's troublesome. ”
"Prime Minister, we don't use big boats, only small boats. ”
"Xiaozhou?" Cao Cao hesitated, "You were born in the north, and fighting in a small boat is not as good as the Jiangnan naval army." The Eastern Wu soldiers have been fighting in the river for a long time, and they are not afraid of the bumpy boat, and the two generals should not play with their lives. ”
Cao Cao really cared about them, but he didn't expect these two to be capable.
"Prime Minister, since we are asking for orders, we have the heart to win. If you fail, you are willing to be dealt with by military law!"
