Chapter 1197: Cao Jun's Return to Shun (2)
Without Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun waiting long, the troops led by Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Cao Ren rushed to the place where Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun's troops were stationed.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came out with all their children and subordinates to greet Guo Jia and Zhao Yun.
Before this, Guo Jia never thought that he would meet Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun again would be such a scene.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan's faces are a little better, although they surrendered for the first time in their lives, but they have been through the wind and rain and have excellent psychological quality. But the faces of their children and subordinates were very ugly, and they could even be said to be filled with grief and anger.
This kind of sad and indignant expression, let alone Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, even a hundred cavalry of the Liu Army can be seen.
Zhao Yun was nothing, he had seen too many of them surrendering to Liu's army. And the cavalry of the Liu army was different. Like Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan's children and subordinates, they are still sad and indignant at this point, they are simply unconvinced.
For Liu Jun, as long as the other party is not convinced, then it is good to beat them directly to convincing. Liu Jun has such a style that makes their combat effectiveness continue to improve. The main reason is that their majesty is also such a person, and if you are not convinced, you will be convinced.
Even if it is a temporary failure, when it is time to admit it, it will definitely admit it, and then find an opportunity to develop slowly, stabilize the other party and then kill the other party.
Liu Yu plays this routine very well. Before, when Liu Yu was in the annexation of the state, he relied on this routine to make a fortune.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan didn't know how to greet Guo Jia.
"Miaocai, Yuan Rang, it's been a long time!" Guo Jia understood their situation, so he took the initiative to greet them.
"Bonghyo, it's been a long time." Xiahou Yuan was the first to speak.
"The lord's military orders have been received." Guo Jia asked knowingly.
This kind of knowingly asked questions is in the hope that a clearer answer will be obtained, so that something unnecessary will not happen.
Xiahou Yuan nodded and said: "The people sent by Zixiao have already informed me and Yuan Rang of your intention and the military orders of the lord, and we and the two troops are in one place, waiting for Fengxiao here." ”
Guo Jia's eyes were about to fall, and the soldiers and horses gathered here were less than half of the total strength that Cao Cao had given to Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan before! In such a short period of time, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's Cao Army, who were the main generals, were actually wiped out so much by Liu Jun.
In fact, if Liu Yu's holy decree hadn't come in time, I'm afraid that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan would not have so many soldiers and horses to see Guo Jia.
"In that case, then there is no need to say anything. The lord asked me to wait for the court to surrender to the court! The two generals are ready to follow and return to Shouchun. Guo Jia didn't want to refute Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan in public, so he directly ignored the past.
Cao Jun had no objections, and some of their opinions were dealt with by Xiahoudun, and they were either killed or imprisoned in a prison car.
However, they have no objection, which does not mean that Liu Jun has no objection.
"Slow!" Zhao Yun stood up and said at this time.
"General Zhao, do you have any opinions?" Guo Jia knew that Zhao Yun was here to supervise him, and Zhao Yun's opinion was more important than anyone's.
"There are so many soldiers and horses in Chengcheng, and I am afraid that it will cause a lot of inconvenience to march towards Shouchun at this time." Zhao Yun said with a deep groan.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou were angry, what Zhao Yun meant was that if they went to Shouchun, it would cause a lot of inconvenience to Shouchun and Liu Jun, and it could even be said that so many Cao soldiers and horses gathered together, it was easy to cause some trouble.
Zhao Yun was also the general who fought the most with the Cao army, and his prestige spread throughout the Cao army. At this time, Zhao Yun put forward his own opinions, and Cao Jun did not dare to speak out. Because Zhao Yun's reputation was made by fighting with Cao Jun when he was the pastor of Yanzhou. Even if they knew that Zhao Yun was suspicious of them, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan and their subordinates did not dare to speak out.
Indeed, that's what Zhao Yun thinks. Think about it, so many Cao soldiers and horses are heading towards Shouchun City, if suddenly Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan have bad intentions, then it will definitely be very bad news for Liu Jun. Zhao Yunnai is a general, and this hidden danger can still be seen.
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, and asked Zhao Yun casually, "Then General Zhao thinks how to arrange it is appropriate?" ”
In fact, Guo Jia said that just now on purpose, he wanted to borrow the only remaining Cao army of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and get close to Shouchun in the name of surrender, and see if he could have a plan at the most critical time.
It's a pity that from Zhao Yun's words, Guo Jia knew that his plan was going to fail.
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Guo Junshi, it must take a lot of time for so many soldiers and horses to go to Shouchun. And we have to go to Huainan, which will take at least a day. And the soldiers and horses of Lord Zhuge and Lord Sima are not far away. Why don't you bring together the generals and the two lords Zhuge and Sima. In this way, we can head to Huainan City. ”
Zhao Yun almost didn't say that Guo Jia was seeking the near and far, and he was plotting against him.
Guo Jia pretended to suddenly realize: "General Zhao reminded me yes!"
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan have known Guo Jia for many years, and they can see from Guo Jia's performance that Guo Jia is hiding his embarrassment. And after pondering for a while, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan discovered that Guo Jia might have been carrying out a possible plan of his own just now, but Zhao Yun saw through it.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan secretly regretted that they hadn't thought of this just now, and they should have stepped forward to cooperate with Guo Jialai just now, but they didn't say a word and missed this opportunity in vain.
Once an opportunity is missed, there will be no next one.
Cao Ren, who was silently silent on the side, also looked pity, and he saw it just now. It's just that the position he is standing in is very close to Zhao Yun, and the slightest change will make Zhao Yun alert.
Guo Jia is also helpless, the situation is stronger than people, Zhao Yun is wise, not the kind of person who can fool.
Without a few brushes, how could Liu Yu let Zhao Yun come over to spy on Guo Jia? It was already decided that Guo Jia was restless, so he let the calm Zhao Yun come.
After a little time, only the remaining remnants of Cao's army headed in the direction where Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were.
Not long after they started, the people sent by Zhao Yun to contact Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang in the past also returned to Zhao Yun's side and guided Zhao Yun to the place where Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang gathered.
It just gave Cao Jun an excuse that he couldn't stall for time.
Guo Jia is now settled, Zhao Yun is cautious, and he has no way to give Cao Jun a chance to plan now. Guo Jia could conclude that the men and horses sent by Zhao Yun must have agreed with Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi that if there was any change in Cao's army, they could immediately kill the army.
However, Guo Jia thought too much about this, and Zhao Yun did not arrange it at all. The soldiers and horses of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had already gathered together.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi took a large number of civil servants and military generals, drinking wine leisurely, eating the prey obtained by the soldiers, and waiting for the arrival of Cao's army.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi sat side by side on the main seat, and the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so unhappy.
Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Wen Ping, Zhang Xiu, Xin Ping, and Xin Bi sat down on two sides.
Zhang Liao, who was sent to attack Huainan, was also called back by Zhuge Liang.
Tell him to come back, Zhuge Liang is not for no reason.
Zhang Liao originally planned to attack Huainan in one go. It's a pity that Cao Ang can't compare to Cao Cao in terms of strategy, but he is very capable in defense, and the Huainan city is strong, so Zhang Liao can't fight it. So he was called back by Zhuge Liang. Instead of wasting troops in Huainan, it is better to return here and reorganize the troops and horses before fighting.
Zhang Liao also felt so at first, but when he returned to Zhuge Liang, he was informed of Liu Yu's holy decree by someone sent by Zhao Yun. It is impossible for Zhang Liao to continue the war.
Cao Cao has surrendered, so it's still a fart to beat Huainan.
After this cooperation, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have a very good relationship. In addition, the two secretly married their children, and they have become in-laws, and they get along more harmoniously with each other.
"Two adults, I'm waiting here to drink, if Your Majesty knows, I'm afraid it won't be good." Wen Ping is a cautious person, and he is the only one present who does not dare to drink.
"Lao Wen, why are you so stupid. Cao Cao has surrendered, and we people have put so much effort into this battle, so we should relax. The law does not blame the public, do you know? Besides, we didn't drink too much. Zhang Fei hugged a wine jar and said.
Among so many people, Zhang Fei drank the most, and there were many wine jars next to him.
Wen Ping is a black line on his face, and he can't drink alcohol in the army, this is a death order. What is the situation now, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have taken the lead in drinking, which is simply not right.
You can't drink alcohol in the army, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi both know it.
And they do it for a reason.
This time, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi already knew that Liu Yu had arrived in Shouchun early, which was also told to them by the people sent by Zhao Yun. In other words, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's actions have always been watched by Liu Yu. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi knew that they would definitely be punished. But the two of them have a lot of credit in this big battle. Liu Yu couldn't find any reason to dispose of them.
If Liu Yu is not allowed to get angry this time, maybe Liu Yu will always keep it in mind and will always pay attention to them, and Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi will be people with their tails between their legs in the future.
In the face of the emperor, sometimes as a courtier, you need to stretch out your face to the Son of Heaven to beat. When the Son of Heaven is comfortable and his anger is gone, then they will be safe.
That's what Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi meant.
"Hehe, Yide, you don't have to say much, let's relax with a few drinks here, don't too much. Otherwise, when these words reach Your Majesty, I won't be able to eat and walk around. Zhuge Liang said lightly.
Except for Wen Ping, everyone else had a look of agreement.
Wen Ping really wants to ask Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, you have set up so much wine and meat, and said that it is a few glasses of drink, is this reasonable?
After sighing silently in his heart, Wen Ping sat back, anyway, what he said had already been said, so he would do whatever he wanted.
"Actually, I think this Cao Cao surrendered too quickly, and this battle is not enjoyable enough!" Zhang Fei seemed to be drunk and began to talk nonsense.
Sima Yi smiled: "No matter how much you say, it's useless. There is no way to fight Cao Cao in the future. ”
These words resonated in the hearts of everyone, Cao Cao chose to surrender, and he would not resist. There is no capital to rebel against.
At this time, soldiers from outside the big tent came in to report that Zhao Yun took Guo Jia and Cao Jun and was already less than three miles away from them.
"That's it! That's it! Go and join them. Sima Yi stood up and said. Come! Pack it all up! ”
And all the people got up together, knowing the measure. Several soldiers came in and collected all the leftover drinks they had eaten, leaving no evidence of the crime.
But what they didn't notice was that the soldiers who came in just now saw the wine and meat, and there was a gleam in their eyes.
In the end, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang's Liu army troops converged with the only remaining remnants of Cao's army.
Guo Jia saw Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi for the first time, and was shocked by the temperament revealed by the two.
"The talents of these two people are not weaker than mine!" Guo Jia said secretly: "Liu Yu is really extravagant, there are so many civil and military generals, even if I exhaust my brainpower, I can't defeat them." ”
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were also the first to see Guo Jia.
Guo Jia's temperament also convinced the two of them.
"Master! O true wise man! Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi thought at the same time in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see!" Zhao Yun took the lead in stepping forward and saluting Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others.
"Zilong, you have all worked hard. Cao Jun's brothers also worked hard. Come on, come in and rest. Sima Yi calmly arranged everything.
The Cao soldiers they brought over leaned to the side and silently put down the weapons in their hands. To put it nicely, it is to surrender, in fact, it is surrender, and the soldiers of the Cao army know their identity and know what to do.
Zhuge Liang saw that there were only so many soldiers and horses left in the Cao army, if he was given a little more time, the Cao army would be wiped out.
It's a pity that Liu Yu didn't let them wipe out all Cao Jun.
And Guo Jia and they were invited to the big tent by Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. A big tent that was cleaned up, of course. If it was the big tent full of wine and meat just now, it is estimated that Guo Jia would think that Zhuge Liang was insulting people.
In this big tent, the two sides had friendly and harmonious communication, and on the issue of the placement of Cao Jun, in accordance with the will of Emperor Shenwu, the proper settlement was carried out, and the talks between the two sides ended perfectly.
This is the content of the recital reported to Liu Yu by Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others.
