"My lord, do you want to use troops against Liaodong?" He Ping also came back to Nanpi City. Cao Cao was attacked, but he didn't dare to let go of this major event. He rushed back from Liaoxi County immediately, and even Gongsun Kang came back without telling him.
Such a thing happened as soon as I came back.
"The little Gongsun Kang, and the old fox Gongsundu are too deceitful, I will definitely send troops to Liaodong to destroy Liaodong!" Cao Cao roared loudly.
"My lord, don't do it!" He Ping hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, that Gongsun Du of Liaodong might have a dissatisfaction with the lord, but that Gongsun Kang really wants to join the lord!" He Ping said to dissuade Cao Cao. There is a saying in the art of war, the first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, and the second is to attack the soldiers. Why send troops if things that can be settled by negotiating with the mouth.
"If you sincerely trust me? If you are sincere, will there be the arrival of Liaodong cavalry this time?" Cao Cao still got angry loudly.
"My lord, the Liaodong iron cavalry has been defeated, and their main general Tuobahai has been beheaded!" He Ping argued against Cao Cao below.
"Defeated? Who told you that you were defeated? If you were defeated, how could soldiers and horses with the banner of Liaodong Iron Cavalry come to Nanpi City? Come and tell me?"
"But the prime minister was indeed defeated. He lost to the Yangzhou soldiers and horses, and lost to that Yang Chen. The head of Tuoba Hai was sent back!" He Ping said.
"Tuoba Hai's head? Have you seen it?" Cao Cao sneered.
"Well, this humble minister didn't!" He Ping shook his head, how could he see Tuoba Hai's head, Gongsun Kang was almost ashamed of it. How could it be possible to show him He Ping? So He Ping just heard about it.
"No? Not one of them! Then let me tell you. This is what that old fox, Gongsundu, let you know on purpose. In fact, he has already joined forces with that Yangzhou soldier!" Cao Cao sneered.
"No! Then Gongsun Du was killed by Gongsun Kang!" He Ping shook his head and argued.
"Killed? Did you see it with your own eyes again?"
"That's what Wei Kang said!" He Ping was still shaking his head, he didn't see it with his own eyes.
"Oh, I heard it again, don't you know who that Wei Kang is?" Cao Cao said, staring at He Ping over there.
He Ping lowered his head, "He is the confidant and personal guard of Gongsun Du, General Wuwei of Liaodong!"
"Hehe, you still know his identity, so do you think he will tell you the truth? Just relying on your little fluff?"
"But my lord, if you only rely on guesswork and the banner of Liaodong iron cavalry, you can prove that Gongsun Kang did it. It's so unconvincing." He Ping suddenly became stubborn and raised his head to look at Cao Cao. .
"Do you want evidence? Do you want to be convinced? Alright, someone bring me the South Gate Captain Wu Chi!" Cao Cao shouted to the guard outside the door.
"Yes!" Soon a person with hair scattered and dust all over his face was brought in.
"Prime Minister, spare your life, Prime Minister, spare your life!" As soon as this person entered the meeting hall, he kowtowed to Cao Cao over there and cried, calling for the Prime Minister to spare his life. The city gate Wuchi.
"Wu Chi, come and tell our Lord He Ping how the south gate of Nanpi was breached that day!" Cao Cao said to Wu Chi over there.
"Nanpi South City Gate?" Wu Chi thought that Cao Cao was going to question himself, but he should follow what Wu Chi did. Killing a hundred times is not too much, so Wu Chi begged Cao Cao for mercy as soon as he came up. But now it seems that this is not the case. Prime Minister Cao, the lord on the stage, seems to be kind to him.
As soon as Cao Cao mentioned the South City Gate, our Wuchi children’s shoes immediately became lively. As the saying goes, if you can’t recite the black pot, you can’t recite it. The ball can be kicked as far as it can go. A dead friend is not dead. road.
"Prime Minister, they are all those goddamn envoys who went to Liaodong. They were not only deceived by Liaodong, but also deceived you by the way. What Liaodong is an alliance with us is all nonsense. If the alliance If so, how could there be that Liaodong cavalry? On that day, I saw the exhausted expression on the face of the Liaodong cavalry, and I came to ask for directions. After giving them water, food and grass, and enthusiastically showing them the way, who would have thought that they would turn their faces and deny people as soon as they reached the gate of the city, those soldiers of mine, you died so miserable!" Wu Chi then grew old Tears rolled down, she was definitely acting.
On the contrary, He Ping and others over there are very embarrassed. The envoys who are sent to Liaodong are them. Aren't you pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man? Fortunately, He Ping is a civil servant with high quality, otherwise, if he was replaced by a general, he would be able to fight Wu Chi with his life.
"Prime Minister, these are all the words of this person!" He Ping wanted to say something but was stopped by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao simply ignored He Ping over there, but looked at Wu Chi over there, "General Wu Chi, keep talking!"
"I can't admit it wrong! The words spoken by those individuals can be regarded as dialects in Youzhou, Liaodong, and they can't be wrong. The armor and banners on their bodies are all from the Liaodong Army!" Wu Chi got Cao Cao's permission. throbbed.
"He Ping, what else do you have to say now?" Cao Cao looked at He Ping over there with a sneer.
He Ping took a deep breath. He was the last person who didn't want to start a war, because he used to be from Liaodong, and this was his hometown. Once a war started, how many families would be ruined.
"Prime Minister, when I entered Nanpi City, I also got some weapons and armor from the enemy soldiers who died in battle. Please have a look at it!" He Ping asked his subordinates to take it back, a saber and A set of armor "Prime Minister, please look!"
"Yangzhou's armor?" Yangzhou's new type of armor has long since become a very famous thing. It is light in weight and has amazing defensive power, so many generals in the army are asking for a set of armor for hundreds of dollars or even thousands of dollars.
Now that I saw the appearance of the armor and weapons over there, I would naturally recognize it.
"That's right, generals, please take a look. This is the new armor of the Yangzhou Army!" He Ping looked at Cao Cao. Gongsun Kang asked Liaodong to form an alliance with Cao Cao. One of the very important conditions is that the 15,000 sets of Yangzhou standard armor from the Liaodong Army were sent over. Those armors were all equipped for the euphorbia warriors and tiger and leopard riders who first boarded the camp. Where does the Liaodong Army have such new Yangzhou armor
And those Yangzhou new armors look even better than they are now assembled
Everyone also began to doubt, is it true that there are soldiers and horses pretending to be the Liaodong Iron Cavalry
"My lord, it is also said that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses have already withdrawn from the west of Liaoxi. I don't know where they went!" He Ping continued. Then Yangzhou suffered such a big loss in Liaodong. According to the temper of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it is impossible to leave after such a small fight. You must know that when they come, they are bound to take Gongsun Kang's head.
Anticlimactic like the style of Yangzhou Shu Wang? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Shu's attack on Liaodong was false, but it was true that he attacked Cao Cao
Everyone also began to doubt, could this really wrong the Liaodong Army? Is someone playing the banner of the Liaodong Army
"Gentlemen, Tuobahai of the Eastern Liaodong Iron Cavalry should have died in battle. Ma Ke, the main force of the Eastern Liaodong Army, has been dispatched to Liaoxi County. Even if Gongsun Du of the Eastern Liaodong can act again, he can't send his three famous generals to the pit of fire. Push it in!" He Ping's analysis made sense.
The three famous generals in Liaodong, An Yixuan. Tuoba Hai and Mo Ran.
These three people, An Yixuan's family were really chopped up by Gongsun Kang. Tuoba Hai died in battle, Mo Ran was defeated, and lost the Zhendong Army.
If this is really an act by Liaodong Gongsundu, then this old fox is really terrifying.
Even I can do it myself.
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and everyone began to nod their heads. This may be a trick of the Yangzhou Army to provoke the Liaodong Army and their Cao Cao army. If you are fooled, wouldn't it be quick for the light to hurt the enemy.
"Prime Minister, think twice!" He Ping fell to his knees, and there was a group of people kneeling behind him.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Cheng Yu sighed.
Just when everyone was still making Cao Cao think twice, a messenger ran over outside, "Report, report to the Prime Minister, General Xiahou is back!"
With the steps down, Cao Cao immediately came down, "Yuan Rang is back? Hurry up, let Yuan Rang come in!"
"Yes!" Soon Xia Houchun took his lieutenants into the meeting hall, looked at Cao Cao on the stage and said, "Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao's expression was not good when he saw Xia Houchun, and it could even be said that he felt aggrieved.
"General Yuan Rang, didn't you go after the Liaodong cavalry? Why are you back?" Cheng Yu asked Xia Houchun over there.
"Hmph! Don't mention it!" Xia Houchun waved his hand and said in a very unhappy manner, as if unwilling to say anything.
Cheng Yu could only turn his face to Xia Houchun's lieutenant, Xiahouchun's lieutenant was not as bold as Xia Houchun, and dared to play this in front of the lord Cao Cao.
He hurried forward and told Cheng Yu and others about the situation.
"What? More than 700 casualties?" Cheng Yu, Cao Cao and others were all stunned for a moment. There were only 5,000 people in the camp first, and more than 700 people were injured at once, and more than 200 died on the spot. More than 500 people were seriously injured, and countless were slightly injured.
"Where's the Liaodong Cavalry?" Cheng Yu and the others asked hastily. The loss of going to the camp first shows that the Liaodong Cavalry lost a lot.
"Liaodong iron cavalry, there were only a hundred casualties!" Xia Houchun's deputy also bowed his head in embarrassment.
"Is this Liaodong iron cavalry so elite?" Cao Cao was also shocked, how could this Liaodong iron cavalry have such strength
"The prime minister is not the elite of the enemy, but we have not encountered the enemy at all!" Xia Houchun's lieutenant said with a mournful face. Although their people came back, the five thousand horses were completely destroyed. That is five thousand horses. Thousands of good horses are also worth hundreds of thousands of gold.
Now all of them were stabbed in the buttocks all at once, and they bled so much that they could only be used as meat horses in the end, so they felt distressed.
"Haven't they caught up yet? How good are their horses?" Cheng Yu couldn't believe it. Their horses were starting to destroy their horses. The explosive power of their horses under pain was astonishing, even for a poor horse. , After being stabbed into the horse's buttocks, it will also explode with amazing explosive power in a short period of time.
"We are about to catch up, but, but!" Xiahou Dun's lieutenant was really about to cry. They crippled their war horses. That's their second life. For them, they are comrades-in-arms, and they are about to catch up with the enemy, but those enemies have entered the city.
"Entered the city?" Everyone present was dumbfounded.
"Are you sure you entered the city?" Cheng Yu asked. Of course, this was asked by Cao Cao, who was in charge, because Cao Cao's eyes were bright now.
"Yes, we've entered the city!" The lieutenant nodded.
"Stop talking!" Xia Houchun yelled at his lieutenant general: "Prime Minister, the last general is incompetent, and he can't catch up with those Liaodong Xiaoxiao. Let the Liaodong cavalry be taken into the city, please come down!" Sin!" Xia Houchun knelt down after saying that.
"Not guilty, not guilty, not guilty!" Cao Cao almost said this sentence when he was excited, Xiahou Dun was not guilty, but fortunately Cao Cao held back and coughed twice.
"Yuan Rang, get up, get up, if it wasn't for Yuan Rang's arrival at the camp first, maybe I, Cao Cao, would have died at the hands of the Liaodong iron cavalry, why are you guilty!"
"Your servant is guilty!" Cao Cao said and everyone else knelt down.
"He Ping. What else do you have to say now!" Cao Cao looked at He Ping and asked.
"General Xiahou, did you really see those enemy troops entering the city? Into the Liaodong Army's city?" He Ping began to question Xiahou Chun over there.
"Hmph, it's still a fake! If it wasn't for those Liaodong defenders, if it weren't for the city of Liaodong, I would be able to defeat their troops and take their heads now! I wouldn't have lost my seven hundred sons! ' Xiahou Dun said angrily.
"This, this, this is impossible! This is impossible!" He Ping couldn't believe it.
"Impossible? If someone pretended to be a Liaodong soldier, how could they possibly enter the city of Liaodong? Why are you stupid, and you are also stupid to those Liaodong soldiers? He Ping, He Ping, I sent you to Liaodong. Thinking, you are a discerning person, but I didn’t expect you to be a fool! You were surrounded by the Liaodong Gongsundu father and son! "Cao Cao looked at He Ping with a look of hating iron but not steel,"
"I, I, I!" He Ping didn't know how to justify himself. "Master, then Gongsun Kang really looks like surrendering." He Ping was still thinking about dissuading Cao Cao from attacking Liaodong. This Liaodong Gongsun Kang should be a dog Look, do you have to hit him
"Stop talking, I've made up my mind. The Liaodong Gongsundu father and son dared to send Liaodong iron cavalry to privately plunder my Youzhou, and even wanted to kill the truth. The crime is unforgivable. What is Xu Huang and Xu Gongming?" Cao Cao faced the following shouted the crowd.
"Xu Huang is here!" Xu Huang took a step forward and said to Cao Cao who was above the main seat.
"Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, I want you to take the 20,000 troops under your command as the forward of our army, build bridges in front of the water, build roads in the grass, and prepare for the follow-up army!"
"Yes!" Xu Huang nodded.
"Where is Le Jin!" Cao Cao began to order troops again.
"Le Jin is here!"
"Le Jin, I want you to lead an army of 50,000 as the central army, from Xu Wushan to Youbeiping, and then into Liaoxi County!"
"yes!"
"Xiahou Dun!" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun below.
"Yuan Rang, I have to avenge the Liaodong iron cavalry. You go to the army and dispatch five thousand good horses, and come with me to Liaodong. He will surely wipe out the Liaodong iron cavalry!" Cao Cao made up his mind to deal with this red horse. said the man.
"My lord, no, no!" He Ping shouted from below, hoping that Cao Cao would think twice.
Cao Cao's nearly 80,000 army is still supported by a steady stream of reinforcements. It can be said that Liaodong is really hard to escape this time. Another point is that Liaodong is not a soft persimmon. He also has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands.
"He Ping, once or twice I don't care about it. Sending you to Liaodong to be the prefect of Liaoxi this time is my biggest failure. Come on, take the prefect He Ping down for me, and let him shut himself up and think about his mistakes!" Cao Cao angrily yelled He Pingdao over there. "
"yes!"
"My lord, no, no!" He Ping was still shouting after being dragged away.
"Hey!" Cheng Yu beside him sighed bitterly.
Why bother? The Lord sent troops this time not only because of this so-called Liaodong iron cavalry.
Whether this Liaodong cavalry is real or fake, it doesn't matter at all. The important thing is to give the lord an excuse to send troops. The lord regretted that Liaodong's armor was greedy at the beginning, and left a Liaodong to fight there, so he insisted on allying with him. Fortunately, Gongsun Kang gave Cao Cao comfort. Thinking that if you win Gongsun Kang, you can win Liaodong.
But now Gongsun Kang is completely tempting Cao Cao.
The soldiers and horses of this border city in Liaodong were dispatched. Wouldn't Cao Cao's army know about it
There are basically not many elites in the entire Liaodong border city. It is not bad for a city to have a thousand people.
Now Liaodong is a beautiful woman who is about to take off her clothes.
Cao Cao is a normal man, wouldn't he salivate? Rather than passing the position of Liaodong to Gongsun Kang without knowing when Gongsun Du died, and Gongsun Kang giving him Cao Cao, it is better to take it by yourself.
In the past, it was because he had just made an alliance with Liaodong, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to start, because it was too ugly to look like that. But now it's different. If he has an excuse to send troops, will Cao Cao give up
As for the sword that He Ping found, you can see it, but could Cao Cao not see it? It's just that our Boss Cao treats it as if he can't see it even if he sees it.
So no matter what He Ping said, it was useless.
…
Cao Cao ordered the world, and Liaodong Gongsun Kang suddenly became a rebel from Zhongshuling. He dared to send Liaodong cavalry to attack Nanpi City in an attempt to kill Cao Cao and cause chaos in the world. Fortunately, Cao Cao saw through the plot of Gongsun's father and son. Now Cao Cao is very angry, so he wants to send troops to attack Liaodong.
The crowd was simply dazzled. What kind of drama is this? The two allies who were still in the honeymoon period just now have become enemies.
Gongsun Kang in Liaodong County was terrified. How did he provoke Cao Cao
If Cao Cao, the master, treats him like this, Cao Cao's army will enter more than a dozen cities in Liaodong.
Gongsun Kang also wrote directly to Cao Cao, telling him that his father was terminally ill, and he, Gongsun Kang, was willing to surrender to Cao Cao, hoping that Duke Cao could accept him regardless of past suspicions.
At the beginning, Cao Cao had this plan, but the more the battle went smoothly, the more he fought, the more he couldn't control it.
Even if Cao Cao is willing to stop the war, the generals under Cao Cao quit, which is a great credit. How many soft persimmons can there be in the world? Liaodong is one of them. If Gongsundu is still there, Liaodong may be a difficult bone to crack.
When Cao Cao's army entered Liaodong, he didn't want to resist Cao Jun but also wanted to seek peace. Wasn't his brain trapped by the door? Why go to war if you can make peace? So many cities have been ordered by Gongsun Kang that they are not allowed to resist.
In this way, Liaodong originally had tall and handsome mountains that could resist even a little bit, but now all these mountain formations have been thrown into Cao Cao's hands. It is difficult to fight. The other soldiers and horses are useless except Mo Ran who can fight. An Yixuan was forced by his Gongsun Kang to join the Yangzhou army. Tuoba Hai died in the battle and Mo Ran was left. Yes, but Gongsun Kang is not stopping.
When Cao Cao's army entered Liaodong, Mo Ran wrote a letter to Gongsun Kang, asking Gongsun Kang to let Mo Ran take his soldiers and horses to resist Cao Cao.
But at that time, Gongsun Kang was thinking about how to make his Cao Cao father forgive him, and with the Yangzhou army staring at him, he refused decisively.
Gongsun Kang is not his father, Gongsundu. If Gongsundu is alive and sees Mo Ran Mo Zihui writing such a letter, he will definitely pay attention to it, because this Mo Ran is a good fighter, even if he doesn't pay attention, he will give this Mo Ran a very serious A good reply should at least not chill the old minister's heart.
Our eldest son Gongsun Kang is good, he directly arrested Mo Ran and put him in the prison. The reason is that Mo Ran said something in the letter. He wants to talk to the lord, Gongsun Du, not your eldest son, Gongsun. Kang.
Without the three famous generals, the last one, Mo Ran, was imprisoned by Gongsun Kang who destroyed the Great Wall. Who can hold back Cao Cao's army
So one by one ran to Cao Cao and said to Cao Cao, this Gongsun Kang of Liaodong has long been disobedient, why should the prime minister listen to what he said.
Zhao Yun was not idle either, and Baima Congyi even under the banner of Liaodong cavalry, really wiped out one of Cao Cao's 5,000-man soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao immediately became angry. Okay, then let's continue fighting.
Gongsun Kang had no choice but to clear Mo Ran out of the mountain again. (to be continued..)
