"Yuan Shao is dead?" Yang Chen in Liaodong immediately stood up when he heard the news in the mansion.
"Yes, my lord!" The person who sent the information nodded to Yang Chen.
"Are you sure about the news?" Yang Chen frowned and asked the intelligence officer.
"My lord, then Cao Cao and Cao Mengde have already sent a funeral message to Cao Cao in the Bohai Sea." The intelligence officer said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded emphatically, "I know, you go down!"
"yes!"
Yang Chen paced back and forth, Cao Cao was sending out a sacrificial letter to make a big mess of the world, this must not be a fake, Fan Yang was breached, the Yuan family brothers disappeared, now Bohai County is over, Yuan Shao is also dead, it can be said that the whole Cao Cao in Hebei is no longer invincible.
Yang Chen shook his head. This is bad news for Yangzhou. Once Cao Cao frees up his men, Yangzhou will be the first to bear the brunt. After all, the only one in the world who can compete with Cao Cao is the Yangzhou Army.
"It's time to leave Liaodong!" Yang Chen thought for a long time and shouted, "Come here."
"Your subordinate is here!" A man who looked like a butler walked in. This man was Yang Hong's assistant to Yang Chen's son. He was afraid that Yang Chen would be young and frivolous and inexperienced.
"Butler Tong, are the guests from the Yuan family over there already on board?" Yang Chen asked the Butler Tong. A few days ago, those old and weak women and children said that it was Yuan Xi's family who came to ask Yang Chen for help, Yang Chen couldn't make up his mind, so he had to send them to Yangzhou first.
"Not yet!" Butler Tong shook his head, because Gan Ning's naval warship and caravan had not come back, it was impossible for them to arrange a warship or a shipment for Yuan Xi's family alone. of.
"If not, then make arrangements as soon as possible! And let someone go to Guangling County by boat to send a message to General Gan Ning, asking him to come back as soon as possible! We need to discuss something important." Yang Chen said to Butler Tong. Liaodong will not stay long. Yang Chen didn't know the situation of the Prince of Liaodong, Sun Du.
"My lord, what do you mean?" Butler Tong also heard the seriousness of the matter from Yang Chen's words.
"Gongsun Du of Liaodong and I in Yangzhou are only acquainted with each other for money. Dogmeat friends. He can embarrass Cao Cao for profit, and he may also offend us for profit." Yang Chen said to Butler Tong.
"I know, little one." Yang Chen said that it was for this sake, and Butler Tong nodded, wanting to plan ahead, "I'll make arrangements now!"
"Go back quickly!"
Not long after Tong Butler left, the concierge suddenly called out, "It's bad, it's bad, my lord, my lord!"
A concierge ran towards the inner mansion in a rolling and crawling manner. The threshold was very high, one accidentally bumped into the threshold and fell in front of Yang Chen.
"What's the point of panic!" Now Yang Chen is no longer the dazed young man who was still by Lu Su's side, and now Yang Chen is more calm and calm, just like his father Yang Hong.
"My lord, my lord, the Liaodong army, the Liaodong army has surrounded our mansion!" The porter said to Yang Chen in a panic.
The concierge didn't see the slightest panic from Yang Chen's complexion, but Yang Chen's expressionless face couldn't see the slightest movement, "Is it really here?"
Yang Chen had an expression on his face, but his heart was filled with bitterness. He dealt with various affairs in Liaodong, and was appointed by Liu Mang as the general manager of Liaodong. To be honest, do one line and love one line. Yang Chen already liked this diplomatic envoy in Liaodong very much. He promoted the demeanor of a great man to His Highness, did business with Liaodong, transported the endless resources of war horses back by water, and then exchanged the armor for the inexhaustible gold. Yin gave Yang Chen a sense of accomplishment, but he also knew that Liaodong might not be long.
"Come and follow me to have a look!" Yang Chen ordered to the people under his command.
"yes!"
Yang Chen stepped into the front hall from the inner mansion. Sure enough, the sergeants over there were fierce, with resolute expressions on their faces. Yang Chen knew from the battles that they were all veterans of many battles.
Looking at the armor and swords on their bodies, Yang Chen couldn't help but sneer. These are definitely the elite soldiers and horses among the elite of Liaodong, because the weapons and armor on their bodies are all armor and swords from Yangzhou.
Armors and swords produced in Yangzhou can cost a hundred gold a pair in Liaodong, but they can't even be bought for five hundred gold in the black market.
Therefore, in the hands of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, those who can wear such armor and weapons must be Gongsun Du's confidant soldiers and horses.
Sure enough, Yang Chen saw a familiar figure.
"Boss Yang, don't come here without any problems!" A smiling figure looked somewhat similar to Gongsun Du. Yang Chen knew him. He was Gongsun Du's eldest son and future Liaodong heir Gongsun Kang.
"Hey, what kind of wind brought our Mr. Gongsun Kang here, it just made the pear shine." Although Yang Chen was angry in his heart, he still looked at the visitor with a smile on his face.
"Director Yang, Kang came here this time to discuss a business with Director Yang." Gongsun Kang also looked at Yang Chen with a smile and said.
"Oh?" Yang Chen looked at Gongsun Kang suspiciously, "What kind of business can make Mr. Gongsun Kang so big." Although Yang Chen looked puzzled, it seemed like he was mocking him. When talking about business, he naturally smiled. Come with sincerity, not with these soldiers eyeing.
"Oh, that's what Manager Yang said!" Gongsun Kang said to the soldiers behind him as if he suddenly realized, "You don't know, Manager Yang, this business is really important and the value is too great. , So, little brother, I have to come here without bringing soldiers! Please forgive me, Manager Yang. Come on, say hello to Manager Yang!" Gongsun Kang shouted to the soldiers behind him.
"Hello, Manager Yang!" All the soldiers behind Gongsun Kang shouted in unison.
"Hehe!" Yang Chen's eyes narrowed even deeper, this wasn't a greeting, it was a demonstration.
"Director Yang, I'm talking about business, I'm going to talk about my business." Gongsun Kang began to try to meet him.
"Let's talk!" Yang Chen was very free and easy at this time, asked Gongsun Kang to sit down, and asked the maidservant to bring tea to Gongsun Kang.
"Above Liaodong, although it is bitterly cold, there are many worries. The people in the east and the people of Fuyu, Mohe, and Sanhan are all about to move. My father has recently received news. Goguryeo, Dongchuan King Han Zaishi is about to move, and he wants to move around When the village was opened, soldiers sent me to Lelang County and Xuantu County. My father was very worried, so he asked me to come and discuss with Manager Yang, whether I can buy some excellent armor and weapons from Manager Yang. Front-line fighters, just in case I am a big man!" Gongsun Kang's words were so nice that he almost compared himself to Wei Qinghuo Qubing who defended against foreign enemies.
If it is an official who is not familiar with Liaodong affairs, he will really be persuaded by him, but it is a pity that although Yang Chen has not been in Liaodong for a long time, he is very clear about the division of forces in Liaodong.
What kind of country is Goguryeo? It's just a small country on the edge of Liaodong, with only a few dozen cities, and Fuyu and Dongwozu are eyeing them, thinking about annexing Goguryeo, how can they invade Liaodong? Moreover, our Liaodong king has really not been idle all these years . He drove away wolves and tigers, and when Goguryeo was strong, he merged with Fuyu Dongwozu to besiege Goguryeo. When Fuyu was strong, he joined forces with Goguryeo to attack Fuyu.
This move was very good at driving away wolves and tigers, and even Goguryeo's Dongchuan King was intervened by his Liaodong Prince Gongsun Du.
It is a good thing that Gongsundu of Liaodong did not go to fight Goguryeo these years. The King Dongchuan of Goguryeo is about to burn incense and worship Buddha, so how dare he take the initiative to invade Liaodong
"Tell me, how many armors and weapons does the King of Liaodong want?" Yang Chen asked Gongsun Kang beside him with a smile.
"Director Yang is straightforward. My father doesn't want much. Twelve thousand pieces of armor and 30,000 swords are enough. Once the soldiers in the front get these elite weapons and armor made in Yangzhou, they will surely defeat Goguryeo. If those barbarian places are also merged into our Central Plains, the great kindness and virtue of Director Yang will never be forgotten by the people of Liaodong!" Gongsun Kang said to Yang Chen over there.
"Hahahahaha!" Yang Chen burst out laughing suddenly, one of them only needed 12,000 pieces of armor, another one only needed 30,000 swords, Yang Chen turned his head around, does Yang Chen have these weapons and armors? have! And the numbers are almost the same as what Gongsun Kang said. What does this mean? It means that Gongsun Kang's people have already penetrated into Yang Chen's people, otherwise he would not be so clear about how many armors and weapons he has in stock.
"I don't know if there are so many armors and sabers in Manager Yang's treasury?" Gongsun Kang asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Yang Chen answered very straightforwardly. People have asked you like this. Isn't it a joke that you said no? With our people here, stop playing tricks with me.
"Okay, refreshing, Manager Yang has so many weapons and armor, and I brought the money again, so let's start trading here! The soldiers in front can't wait!" Gongsun Kang said to Yang Chen with a smile.
"Come on! Bring me all the gold!" Gongsun Kang shouted to the generals behind him.
"Yes!" Soon seven or eight big men entered the main hall carrying big boxes one by one, and put the boxes on the ground. The boxes were very heavy.
"Open them!" The boxes were opened one after another, and the golden gold almost dazzled his eyes. These are all money.
"Boss Yang Chen, these are the money to buy the armor! Please Boss Yang Chen check it out!" Gongsun Kang said to Yang Chen.
"You don't need to check!" Yang Chen was very indifferent. Although the gold is real, the amount is still quite a lot, at least a thousand pieces of gold. What's the point of Yang Chen checking or not checking.
"Gongsun Kang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to buy and sell by force? You are not afraid of our Highness Shu Wang of Yangzhou..." Mr. Tong behind Yang Chen couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and yelled at Gongsun Kang. If you buy 10,000 pieces of armor with 10,000 pieces of gold, you need to add 30,000 war knives. If you think this is Chinese cabbage, you can sell it casually. Even the cost price in Yangzhou is more than this price.
"En?" Gongsun Kang narrowed his eyes, and a group of soldiers behind him also put their hands on the swords.
"Back off!" Yang Chen yelled at Butler Tong, now people are fighting for a knife and I'm a fish, no matter how much you argue, it's useless.
"Mr. Yang, you'd better take care of your dog. It's bad if he throws it out and bites people. If I don't know, I can only chop him up for you!" Gongsun Kang pulled out the saber in his hand. After waving it twice, the threat was beyond words.
"I won't bother you, Mr. Gongsun Kang. I will take care of my dog. If you want to talk about raising a dog, Prime Minister Cao has a trick. If I have time, I will go to ask Prime Minister Cao for advice. I want to ask him what he does. If you don't give the dog a bone, the dog will bite people for him. You say yes, Mr. Gongsun Kang!" Yang Chen said indifferently, looking at Gongsun Kang over there.
"You!" Gongsun Kang became angry. He is the eldest son of the Liaodong King and the future heir of the Liaodong King. Who would dare to talk to Gongsun Kang like that? Yang Chen clearly called him that Gongsun Kang is Cao Cao's dog. The purpose of taking Yangzhou is to curry favor with Cao Cao. If you want to be Cao Cao's dog, you have to feel ashamed and angry. But then he suppressed his heart again, he came to buy things today, not to use force.
"Director Yang, are you going to do this business today or not?" Gongsun Kang looked at Yang Chen angrily. He wished that Yang Chen would say whether he would sell or not. Then he, Gongsun Kang, would have an excuse to do it. Before he acted, his father told him that if he could not offend Yangzhou too much, he would try not to offend him too much. So don't use swords if Gongsun Kang can use words, although Gongsun Kang disdains his father for being both right and wrong. But he still had to listen to what his father said, after all his father was more than his son, if Yang Chen refused, then Gongsun Kang would have an excuse to use the knife.
"Sell it, why not sell it!" Yang Chen answered very simply.
"My lord?" Butler Tong over there was anxious, aren't you selling cheap? He was forced by others, even Gongsun Du would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Yang Chen waved his hand to stop Butler Tong, would Gongsun Du not know what's going on here? Without Gongsun Du's words, even if Gongsun Kang had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to come here to be presumptuous.
"If you have business, don't do it. This is not what we business people should do!" Yang Chen smiled at Gongsun Kang and said, "I just don't know Mr. Gongsun Kang, but I know that Mr. Gongsun Kang bought these armors and weapons, and we still have them." Comes with delivery service!"
"Oh? What service?" Although Gongsun Kang was annoyed and couldn't take the opportunity to teach Yang Chen a lesson, he was still very happy to see that Yang Chen could only sell those armors worth millions of gold.
"This service is very simple, that is, my Yangzhou army will personally show the use of these weapons and armor to the King of Liaodong and you, I wonder if Mr. Gongsunkang is ready!" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Yang Chen also has something in his words, a naked threat, that is, you buy and sell by force, to please Cao Cao, but are you ready to fight against me, Yangzhou? But are you ready to start a war with me in Yangzhou
"Hahahaha!" Gongsun Kang over there suddenly burst out laughing. He looked at Yang Chen and said sarcastically, "This service is really good. His Royal Highness Yangzhou Shuwang is indeed a good businessman, but he just doesn't know Yangzhou Shuwang. Is His Highness's army all descended from the heavens, able to cross this vast sea? If it is possible, then I will wait for it!" Gongsun Kang doesn't care at all. Although your Yangzhou army is strong, you can So what, you and I are separated by Cao Cao's territory on land, Cao Cao can't let you cross his territory to fight Liaodong, this sea route is thousands of miles away, how many soldiers and horses can you send to Liaodong? A home game is an away game. Whether it is weapons, armor or rations, they have to be transported from Yangzhou. If you have fewer soldiers and horses, the Liaodong army is not a vegetarian. If there are more soldiers and horses, let alone Cao Cao. Help him in Liaodong, just say that Yangzhou has the ability to transport grain for thousands of miles? So Gongsun Kang didn't care about Yang Chen's threat at all.
"Since Mr. Gongsun Kang knows that it is the best! Come and bring these gold back, open the treasury door for Mr. Gongsun Kang, and let Mr. Gongsun Kang choose weapons and armor."
"In this case, I would like to thank Director Yang and His Royal Highness the King of Shu for their generosity. Let me say goodbye! Hahahahahaha!" Gongsun Kang came with his troops and horses, but he returned with a full load. He was very proud along the way, with 10,000 pieces of Yangzhou new-style armor Adding 30,000 new Yangzhou swords, this is worth millions, and that's it. Can you not be happy
"My lord, are we just teaching those weapons and armors?" Butler Tong was very unwilling. Don't they know how much those weapons and armors are worth? Even if it is calculated according to the cost price, it is worth hundreds of thousands of gold. It is just gone, and it is gone in their hands. Can this heart not hurt? Prodigals can't play like this.
"What can we do if we don't hand it over?" Although Yang Chen was smiling calmly, his heart was in pain like a knife piercing him. He represented His Highness the King of Shu. But now he was blackmailed and robbed by princes in a small remote place in Liaodong. What a disgrace. But people have to bow their heads in the west of the eaves.
"Steward Tong, let the people in the mansion prepare to pack the packages!" Yang Chen said to Butler Tong.
"kindness?"
"We're leaving Liaodong!" Yang Chen said to Butler Tong, Liaodong couldn't stay and we had to leave as soon as possible. "No, there's no need to clean up, just leave and let the boats get ready on the pier!" Yang Chen had a lot of dreams, so he left as soon as possible, as for any packages and the like that arrived in Yangzhou.
"yes!"
"By the way, bring me that daughter too!" Yang Chen said to Butler Tong.
"Huh?" Butler Tong was taken aback for a moment. If you just leave here without packing the package, it is artificial to leave lightly, but you want to take this daughter with you
"We have to keep this daughter well. This is the reward that the King of Liaodong invited our Yangzhou army to bring!" Yang Chen's face became so gloomy that it was almost dripping water.
"yes!"
Soon on the sea in Liaodong, a sea boat flying the flag of Yangzhou went along the sea water and the coastline towards Yangzhou.
"What did you say? Yang Chen, the chief manager of Liaodong in Yangzhou, has left?" Gongsun Du was originally waiting for the good news of his good son in his Liaodong prince's mansion, but he didn't expect the good news to come, and he waited for this The news of the departure of Yang Chen, the general manager of Liaodong in Yangzhou.
"Yes, my lord, the envoy from Yangzhou left in a sea boat!"
"Chasing, hurry up and catch up with them!" Gongsun Du yelled at the people under his command, who told you to let this Yangzhou envoy leave privately.
"Father, there's no need to chase. Yang Chen has been away for half a day, and we won't be able to catch up if we keep going." Gongsun Kang said to his father. Liaodong's warships are still mainly building ships, and it is difficult to catch up with those Yangzhou ships.
"Hey!" Gongsun Du sighed, he also knew that he would not be able to catch up, "Come here and drag me out of those who are responsible for guarding the Yangzhou envoy's mansion!" Gongsun Du said angrily.
"Father, why is this so? It's just an envoy from Yangzhou. It's fine if he leaves. If he doesn't leave, I plan to take his head to announce the good news to Duke Cao!" Gongsun Kang said indifferently. .
"Kang'er, you are confused, confused!" Gongsun Du shook his head and sighed bitterly, "This Yangzhou envoy, he is Yang Chen, you don't know his identity, his father is the side of the Shu king Liu Mang A close minister, and this Yang Hong only has such a son, as long as this Yang Chen stays in my Liaodong, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, will not dare to act rashly, now that Yang Chen is gone, hey!" The soldiers went to discuss business with Yang Chen, then took Yang Chen and put him under house arrest.
"Father is worried that Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, will send troops here! Why worry, Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, I admit that he is very good at fighting, and his soldiers are all elite, but father, don't forget Well, if Liu Mang, the king of Shu, wants to send troops, he must first see if Mr. Cao agrees. It would be better if he takes the water route. We can take the soldiers of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, to Chen Liaodong. Your reputation!" Gongsun Kang is very confident. In today's war, no matter whether you go by water or land, you have to land. You have come from a long distance, and the bumps on the water are not less than those on land. , and there are only a few ports in Liaodong, as long as this port is blocked, what is the use of your Yangzhou army no matter how strong it is.
"Perhaps!" Gongsun Du shook his head, for some reason, there was always a trace of worry in his heart.
"Father, it's time to give Cao Gong that big gift now!" Gongsun Kang said excitedly to Gongsun Du.
"You can arrange it yourself, I'm tired and take a break!" Gongsun Du waved at Gongsun Kang and said, these days Gongsun Du has begun to try to delegate power, and let Gongsun Kang take charge of the affairs of Liaodong. This is one of them, like Cao Cao's surrender.
"yes!"
Cao Cao's army in Nanpi of the Bohai Sea has already stationed in the city. Although the people in Nanpi are still somewhat resistant, after Cao Cao's army took out the army's grain and distributed it to the people, let them survive this winter safely, and the people's hearts soon It also began to change in the direction of Cao Cao.
"What a life to drink and sing!" Cao Cao was drinking his favorite Dukang wine in the prefect's mansion in Nanpi City, beating the musical instruments and admiring the martial arts over there.
According to the past, Cao Cao should be happy. Hebei took it. It can be said that Cao Cao completed the unification of the entire north. More than half of his so-called great cause has been completed.
But Cao Cao couldn't be happy, he just went to a close friend a few days ago, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, the former boss, Cao Cao thought he would hate him, after all, rich and handsome will always be the natural enemy of **, But after Yuan Shao died, Cao Cao found out. It turns out that I don't hate him, on the contrary, I still miss the days when the two were childhood sweethearts and supported each other.
The so-called death is good, Yuan Shaoyuan Benchu really evoked Cao Cao's heart called friendship at the last moment.
Yuan Shao died, and a close friend left and went to Yangzhou. I don't know how he is now.
Cao Cao thought of Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao again. He used to attach great importance to the great cause, but after going through the vicissitudes of life, Cao Cao realized that if there are not many confidants in life. What is the meaning of this person's life
"Feng Xiao, I'm waiting for you to come back and sing with me over wine!" Cao Cao took two sips of his drink. As usual, let's talk about the origin of life with the singer over there.
He has enough sons and daughters of Cao Mengde, and there are more than twenty heirs. No matter how much it is, it is meaningless, not to mention that he is old and unable to do what he wants.
"Is the lord still in the mansion?" Cheng Yu also rushed over from Fan Yangcheng and asked Xu Chu over there.
"En!" Xu Chu nodded.
"Go ahead and report, just say that Cheng Yu wants to see the lord." Cheng Yu is very polite. Of course, this is what Cheng Yu himself said, but in fact, he also wants to be able to enter Cao Cao's room without notifying, just like Guo Jia. Among them, it is an honor.
"Zhongde, come in quickly, just in time to have a few drinks with me!" Cao Cao heard about Cheng Yu's arrival, and asked Cheng Yu to come in quickly to have a few drinks with Cao Cao.
"My lord, let's wait for my lord to go back to Xudu for drinking. Let's not get drunk and never go home. Although my lord has pacified Hebei, there are still some things to be done." Cheng Yu rejected Cao Cao's invitation and said to Cao Cao .
Cao Cao shook his drunken head and sat up. Cao Cao is like this, if he wants to play, he has to have fun, but if he is working, he is even more serious.
There are only two things that Cheng Yu wants to talk about. One is the traces of the Yuan brothers. If you don’t kill the Yuan brothers, you won’t get their heads. .
Coupled with the prestige of the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, if these two bastards are alive, his Hebei will fall into turmoil again.
"My lord, according to the report from the frontier guard, the Yuan family brothers have left the customs and headed northwest." Cheng Yu reported to Cao Cao.
"Northwest direction?" Cao Cao frowned. Going northwest from Youzhou, that was Xianbei Karasuma's territory. Things were not easy to handle.
But if it's not easy, you have to do it. "I sent tiger and leopard riders, and I will definitely chase the Yuan brothers back." Cao Cao would not allow these two people to live, if the two were content to be equally divided, it would be fine. It's nothing, but the ambitions of these two people are completely different from their abilities.
"Tiger and Leopard Rider?" Cheng Yu was a little hesitant. If the Tiger and Leopard Rider exited the customs, there might be a misunderstanding. Who are the Tiger and Leopard Riders? They are the ace soldiers under Cao Cao's command. They have left the customs. , What would those foreigners think? They thought it was Cao Cao who was going to send troops to exterminate them. If someone provoked them, it would be a big battle.
"What do they think, why do they need to know! There are those people who understand border affairs on the edge of Youzhou, tell them, I am a big man who is going to chase these two thieves, and if anyone dares to cover up, kill them without mercy!" Cao Cao fully expressed The appearance of a generation of heroes.
If you want to hit me, you can hit me. If you stop me, I will hit you.
"My lord, if this is the case, the tiger and leopard riders are not enough!" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao. It's not that the tiger and leopard riders are not elite enough, but the fact that they are outside the customs is like a vast ocean. If the grasslands and deserts thousands of miles away are real Really hard to find.
"How is Zhang Yun now?" Cao Cao suddenly asked irrelevantly.
"These days, Zhang He has been thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion, and sometimes goes to the barracks to exercise." Cheng Yu told Cao Cao these information.
"Okay, tell him that he has had enough rest, and it's time to go to the battlefield. Let him continue to command the Euphorbia warriors, accompany the tiger and leopard riders, take him as the master, and go to the outside of the Great Wall to find those two traitors for me!" Cao Cao knew himself Half of the reason why the elder brother Yuan Shao jumped off the city wall was because of those two rebellious sons, so under Ai Wu Ji Wu Xia, Cao Cao also had the confidence to kill them.
"My lord, the euphorbia warrior, has already defected once. Could it be?" Cheng Yu was a little skeptical. Get cold feet. This euphorbia warrior almost ruined Cao Cao's plan. If the Yuan brothers hadn't destroyed the city wall by themselves, Hebei might have fallen into turmoil again.
"Don't worry, it won't. With those two guys, it's not worth it for the euphorbia soldiers to defect!" Cao Cao said disdainfully. The reason why the euphorbia soldiers defected was because of Yuan Shao. It can be compared with an inverse. If these two people had half of Yuan Shao's prestige, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to take over the four continents of Hebei so smoothly.
"My lord, what should I do if I go to the camp first?" Cheng Yu asked again.
Yuan Shao stayed in the camp first. After Yuan Shao hanged himself, he surrendered after boarding the camp first. Cao Cao didn't make things difficult for them, so he collected their weapons and went to their war horses, and put them in the barracks. full.
Cao Cao has complicated feelings about going to the camp first. If you say that they are scattered, Cao Cao is really reluctant. These are all elite heavy armored cavalry, and even defeated the elite heavy armored cavalry of Baima Congyi. trump card.
But if they don't leave them. The soldiers who entered the camp first couldn't hold back their morale, because they only listened to the words of three people. The first is Yuan Shao, the second is Ju Yi, and the third is Wen Chou. Yuan Shao hanged himself, and Ju Yi was killed by Yuan Shao. You may say that there is another Wen Chou
This is Cao Cao's suffering. Wen Chou is unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao even if he dies. Wen Chou still has another important task, which is to go outside the pass to persuade or disband those foreign legions left by Yuan Shao. If the legion is used by the Yuan brothers, there will be endless troubles. If there is such a mission, Wen Chou would have committed suicide to follow Yuan Shao.
"My lord, Xia Houchun, Yue Jin and Xu Huang, the generals all want to be the first commanders!" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.
Who doesn't like elite soldiers and horses? It's not an ordinary person to go to the camp first. If you expand a little bit, even if you can't become an ace, you are still an elite. After the last time the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry was killed because of Cao Chun, the battle for the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry almost broke out. This time, the first boarding camp started again.
Cao Cao had a headache and couldn't control it, so Cao Cao simply ignored it, "Let them go by themselves, whoever can convince the first boarder will be the commander of the first boarder." Cao Cao regretted this sentence after it was released.
Because there are some stupid people here, Le Jin wants to rely on his talent in commanding soldiers and horses to make Xian Dengying surrender, he told the sky, although some people in Xian Dengying really admire Le Jin , but most of the people are big soldiers, you tell them that the art of war is useless.
Xu Huang over there is more realistic, relying on force, he ran to the barracks where he entered the camp first, put down the tomahawk, and claimed to fight ten, but ten was not enough, he wanted to fight twenty or thirty, and finally at three Surrounded by ten people, they were beaten black and blue.
This is pretty good, the most bastard is that Xia Houchun, this bastard, he doesn't talk about the art of war and doesn't fight, this bastard, ran to the brothel in Nanpi City, and invited all the hundreds of Yao sisters in the city When I came out, I bought a lot of pork, and brought it directly to the barracks. In a word, I followed Lao Tzu's way to have meat to eat, girls to get, and money to spend in vain, whether you come or not.
It's boiling all of a sudden, there are a few men who don't like women, and they've been aggrieved by being locked up in the big camp. This meat, girl and money, suddenly made them agree to join Xia Houchun's command.
Now Le Jin and Xu Huang quit, one of us hoarse our voices, the other was almost beaten to death by the gang, you Xia Houchun defeated us with a bunch of Yao sisters and pork, you won't lose anyone if you say it ah.
Everyone went to Cao Cao's place to make a fuss together. In the end, Cao Cao could only fight 50 boards each. Xia Houchun was beaten and finally got the soldier who entered the camp first.
Cao Cao's two major events now, one is to hunt down and kill the Yuan family brothers, and the other is Gongsun Du in Liaodong.
It's also time to settle things with him.
When Cao Cao discussed the matter, Xia Houchun over there was the first to actively ask to participate, because he had just boarded the camp before taking over and wanted to fight a good battle.
Cao Cao also wanted to let Xia Houchun take the lead, so that he could hone his skills and go to the camp first.
Xia Houchun was very loud there, making Le Jin and the others very angry, but something that made Le Jin and the others happy happened soon.
"Report! Liaodong Gongsundu, sent an envoy to ask to see the prime minister!" The messenger over there sent news from Liaodong, saying that Liaodong sent an envoy to see Cao Cao.
"No. No. Hurry up and tell him to go back and wash his ass and wait. Grandpa's going to the camp first, and the soldiers will come to the city soon, so naturally he wants to look good to him!" Xia Houchun danced the most joyously.
"My lord, let's go to the army to attack the plan, then to attack the diplomatic relations, and to attack the war again. Since this Liaodong Gongsun Du sent an envoy, then we might as well meet up!" Le Jin over there interfaced. Le Jin has always been known as a Confucian general.
Cao Cao nodded.
Xia Houchun was in a hurry, if he stopped beating, he would still be playing a fart, "Le Shorty. You did it on purpose!"
As soon as Xia Houchun's words came out, Le Jin's face darkened over there. Le Jin was indeed a little short, but that didn't affect Le Jin's art of war and tactics at all, but you can't say that he is short in front of you.
"Xia Houchun!" Cao Cao was also a little dissatisfied.
"Is that right? This Le Shorty, this Le Jin, must have retaliated against me because I snatched him from the camp first!" Xia Houchun still wanted to call Le Shorty. Seeing Cao Cao's gloomy face, he swallowed it back. up.
"Xu Gongming, tell me. Is it this ceremony?" Xia Houchun also pulled Xu Huang on, thinking that Xu Huang is also a general and has military exploits, so he must stand on the united front with himself.
pity. His wishful thinking was wrong Xu Huang shook his head, "General Xia Houchun and General Le Jin are right!"
When it was over, four people opened their mouths and three objected, and Xia Houchun couldn't help it if he wanted to talk nonsense.
"Go, bring the emissary of Gongsun Du here!" Cao Cao waved his hand, and soon the emissary of Gongsun Du was brought up.
"General Wuwei, Gongsun Kang, the Lieutenant of Huben under the command of Liaodong Taishou, has seen Prime Minister Cao!" The visitor walked into the tent and bowed down to Cao Cao, who was on the throne.
"General Wuwei, the prefect of Liaodong?" Cheng Yu and the others began to play with it. This official position was conferred by Cao Cao to Gongsun Du of Liaodong at the beginning, but Gongsun Du of Liaodong disliked him, or he wanted to be a local emperor, so he didn't want it at all. Ignoring Cao Cao and throwing the seal that Cao Cao issued to him on the ground. Later, Cao Cao had no choice but to give him the title of King of Liaodong, but Gongsun Du still refused to accept it.
It's all right now, and I have taken back the title of General Wuwei.
Listening to Gongsun Kang's words over there, Le Jin knew that this battle could not be fought.
"I don't know if General Wuwei's seal is okay~! I heard that the Liaodong case is so smooth that it is easy to drop the seal and damage the seal!" Cheng Yu over there spoke mockingly. Isn't this asking about the seal just to laugh at you? , Wasn't it very refreshing to throw the big seal given by Cao Cao at the beginning, why is it coming again now.
"Responding to this lord, the father of the last general was deceived by the thieves, so he did not accept the appointment of Prime Minister Cao, but my father admired Prime Minister Cao very much in his heart. No, Prime Minister Cao just arrived in Nanpi. You sent me here to greet Prime Minister Cao." Gongsun Kang also said with a flattering smile.
"Your name is Gongsun Kang? Are you the son of Gongsun Du?" Cao Cao asked Gongsun Kang below.
"Exactly!" Gongsun Kang nodded in agreement.
"Why didn't the king of Liaodong quit, and now he wants to be a general of Wuwei?" Cao Cao asked.
Gongsun Kang was a little embarrassed, but he also had confidence, "Prime Minister, you have a lot of people!"
"Hehe!" Cao Cao smiled indifferently. Whether to fight Gongsun Du or not is just a matter of Cao Cao's first love. To fight Gongsun Du, Cao Cao's 300,000 troops should not dispatch all of them, as long as they go to the camp first as the vanguard. Then one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were dispatched to Liaodong, and Gongsun Du, who had the four continents of Hebei and the Central Plains as his confidence, was really not seen by Cao Cao.
"If you just sit down and do it, then our lord is not very shameless, get out of here quickly, he Gongsundu dared to throw away my lord's seal, let him wash his ass and wait for us!" Xiahou Chun over there said very seriously Vulgar, but Cao Cao didn't punish him because it represented Cao Cao's thoughts.
You said that if you are General Wuwei, you will be General Wuwei. Wasn’t it very arrogant when you threw the seal back then
"The Prime Minister has a lot of people. My father has already come to his senses. Every time he thinks that the lard blinded his eyes, he opposed the Prime Minister. He hates himself in his heart. That's why he brought a gift to the Prime Minister to apologize. I hope the Prime Minister You can let my father go!" Gongsun Kang knelt down and said to Cao Cao.
"Gifts? Our lord will be rare for those things from your Liaodong? What a joke, my lord has a huge land and resources, what kind of things can't be bought!?" Xia Houchun was determined to fight.
"Reporting to this general, my father asked me to bring a gift. The general really cannot be bought with money!" Gongsun Kang said to Xia Houchun.
"Tell me!" Cao Cao was also a little interested. He wanted to see how much this Liaodong Gongsun Du paid for his head.
"Prime Minister. My father took out 15,000 pieces of armor and 30,000 swords as my father's apology. I hope that the Prime Minister will be happy!" Gongsun Kang said to Cao Cao over there.
"Haha, 15,000 armors and 30,000 swords. Haha, what a great handwriting. My army has 300,000 armors and swords. What is missing from your 10,000 armors and 10,000 swords? What a joke!" Xia Houchun laughed. When he got up, it looked like the battle had to be fought.
"This general. The boy brought not only ordinary armor and knives, but excellent armor and knives from Yangzhou!" Gongsun Kang explained to everyone.
"Yangzhou armor and saber?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
Cao Cao knows Yangzhou's swords and armor very well, because in the hands of the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao suffered a lot. After taking down Fan Yang, the first thing they did was not to chase the Yuan brothers immediately, but Looking for these new armors and new swords, the Yuan family brothers bought about ten thousand sets, that's all. But there were only two thousand pieces of armor and thousands of swords, and the rest were either taken away by the Yuan brothers. Or it was destroyed in the chaos of war.
Now this Gongsun Kang actually said that he has 15,000 such armors and 30,000 such swords, how can he not be surprised.
"Is this true?" Even Xia Houchun was shocked.
"Every sentence is true!" Gongsun Kang said to the crowd.
"With the wealth of Liaodong, can you afford such armor and weapons?" Cheng Yu asked such a question over there, and everyone couldn't help nodding. Cao Cao also learned about this price among the prisoners. The value of the armor is more than 100 gold, and the black market has reached 500 gold. The 15,000 new armors are almost more than one million gold. Adding those swords, the value is nearly two million. Worth of gold.
This Liaodong Gongsundu took it out as soon as he said it. Is that Liaodong really rich? If this is the case, it is better to capture Liaodong, then all of this belongs to Cao Cao.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Gongsun Kang also thought of this, his forehead was sweating, if he could not explain clearly and seduce Cao Cao's greedy heart, then Liaodong would really be finished.
"How much do these weapons and armor cost?" Gongsun Kang said the wrong thing again in a hurry. What do you mean by not having much money? This has reached two million gold, and there is not much money. You are so rich in Liaodong.
Gongsun Kang was about to cry. Liaodong was a second-hand businessman for a long time when he was trading with the Yuan brothers in Yangzhou, but he only made hundreds of thousands of gold, which is almost the entire net worth of Liaodong. If he could really come up with two million gold casually, he, Gongsun Du, would have marched into the Central Plains to dominate the world long ago, in a word, rich and willful.
But the key problem is that there is no money.
"Huh!" Gongsun Kang took a deep breath before speaking, "Prime Minister, these weapons and armors are only worth a thousand dollars!"
"One thousand gold? One thousand gold to buy these armors and swords?" Cao Cao also asked with a frown.
"Exactly!" Gongsun Kang explained how to buy these weapons and armor.
Everyone soon understood that this Gongsun Kang had crossed the river and demolished the bridge. He made you a lot of money by making you a second-hand dealer in Yangzhou. After all, this is really unkind.
But this is not kind, although they despise the attitude of the Gongsun family, they still happily accepted the 15,000 new armors and swords.
Gongsun Kang was also very magnanimous to be named a Xinyang Township Marquis by Cao Cao, and even wanted to invite Gongsun Kang to go back to Xudu as an official. This actually has the idea of taking Gongsun Kang as a hostage.
Naturally, Gongsun Kang would not go, but in order to reassure Cao Cao, he made his son a scribe under Cao Cao's command as his disciple, and asked Cao Cao to take him back to Xudu.
Cao Cao thought that Gongsundu over there was also getting old, and he might not be around for a few years. To prevent the situation in Liaodong from changing, he also allowed Gongsundu to do so.
Cao Cao got the 15,000 new-style armor and 30,000 swords. The first action was to let the tiger and leopard riders go to the camp first and the euphorbia warriors to change their outfits. The 15,000 men and horses in the three battalions were replaced with the new-style armor. Yangzhou heavy armor, the defense is amazing. Although it is heavy, it is much better than the previous ones that weigh thirty or forty pounds. The heavy armored cavalry usually travels with one man and two horses. Put the sword and weapon on a war horse. After approaching the battlefield, put on armor and weapons and charge.
The tiger and leopard riders went to the camp first and the euphorbi warriors replaced fifteen thousand new-style swords, and the remaining fifteen thousand were scrambled as if their heads had been broken. Everyone wants these armor weapons, no one is stupid, these new-style war knives are much better than the old knives, but they are a drop in the bucket after all.
In general, Cao Cao's strength has risen a level immediately, and those foreigners outside the Great Wall are going to be unlucky. The Euphorbia warriors and tiger and leopard cavalry have already marched towards the outside of the Great Wall under Zhang Xi's command.
The mansion of Gongsundu in Liaodong has also changed from the mansion of the king of Liaodong to the mansion of General Wuwei. (to be continued..)
