Chapter 1196: Cao Jun's Return to Shun (1)
When Liu Yu heard this, his face became very ugly.
What Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu said about the things in the Shenwu Imperial Court, Liu Yu is clear. But Liu Yu always thought that with his own ability and deterrence to check and balance, the courtiers in the court would be at peace.
But they didn't expect that Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others were worried about the Shenwu Imperial Court. Judging from their meaning, Liu Yu could conclude that Cao Cao believed that once Liu Yu died, the entire imperial court would be in turmoil. It may even affect the whole world.
It was this factor that made Xun Yu and Xun You reluctant to join the Shenwu Imperial Court.
"It seems that I have come up with a proper way to curb these hidden dangers." Liu Yu already has a sense of crisis.
People are always selfish, and as long as they are powerful, they will yearn for it. And it is precisely this kind of selfishness that leads to the constant occurrence of situations that damage the public and private interests. In all dynasties, there is no way to put an end to this kind of thing.
And Liu Yu's intelligence is really limited, and he can't think of a better way to contain it.
Even if we study it together with all the wise men of this era, we can't come up with a perfect solution.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yu slowly fell asleep.
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Liu Yu all fell asleep.
But Huang Zhong and the others did not rest, and there were a lot of things waiting for them to deal with.
The other people who didn't rest were Guo Jia and Zhao Yun. The two of them were heading to give Cao Cao's military orders to Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan's defense area.
Due to the urgency of time, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun and their 100 cavalry of Liu's army rushed towards their goal as fast as possible.
If there is a delay for some time, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan will start a decisive battle with Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, then the matter will not be able to be cleaned up.
It's just that what Guo Jia and Zhao Yun didn't expect was that not far in front of them, Cao Ren was leading a large number of Cao troops to kill them.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan felt that Shouchun was in danger, and after discussion, they asked Cao Ren to lead the troops.
However, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were very tired, and the speed of the march could not be as fast as usual. And the entire Shouchun war has ended, and Cao Ren is only worthy of being here.
This is because Cao Ren gave a death order to have such a speed. And Cao's army has gone through a rapid march and is now exhausted. Even if Cao Ren arrived in Shouchun in time, how could he make trouble for Liu Jun with this tired army.
Cao Ren was worried about Cao Cao's safety, completely forgetting this, and even kept shouting: "Speed up for Ben!" ”
The Cao soldiers could only bite the bullet and speed up themselves, but unfortunately no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't improve much.
"Report! There are a hundred cavalry of the Liu Army in front of us! A scout quickly reported Zhao Yun's information to Cao Ren.
"A hundred cavalry? It's just right to come! Let's take this hundred cavalry first! Cao Ren said bloodthirsty.
Cao Ren ordered the whole army to lie in ambush on both sides of the road, and wait for Liu's cavalry to come before making a surprise attack. The soldiers of the Cao army could just take a good breath, and one by one they lay motionless in the hidden areas on both sides of the road, trying to gain time to rest.
After Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others arrived here, Zhao Yun sensed that something was wrong and ordered the whole army to stop advancing.
"General Zilong, why are you doing this?" Guo Jia was very puzzled.
Zhao Yun looked around, pricked up his ears, and then said: "Before, the general faintly heard the sound of soldiers and horses shouting, but when he arrived here, he was completely gone, this must be strange!" ”
Guo Jia believes Zhao Yun's judgment. Top generals have a high ability to perceive danger, which is not something that Guo Jia can experience.
This is also the difference between a civilian and a military general.
Cao Ren saw that the other party was some distance away from the ambush of his troops and did not move, knowing that his side had been detected, so he simply did not do anything and came out directly.
"Kill!" Cao Ren took the lead and killed Zhao Yun and Guo Jia.
"It's Cao Jun! Attention all! Zhao Yun recognized at a glance that this was Cao Jun's troops, and ordered all the soldiers to be on alert.
Guo Jia saw Cao Ren's figure, and hurriedly said loudly: "Zixiao! It's me Guo Jia! ”
Cao Ren heard Guo Jia's voice in the shouting of killing, and when he looked at it, he found that it was indeed Guo Jia, and hurriedly ordered: "Stop the attack and surround the past!" ”
Cao Jun slowly surrounded Zhao Yun and the others, but there was not much killing intent.
When Cao Ren got closer, he found that it was really Guo Jia, so he asked, "Fengxiao, are you here here?" What about the lord? ”
Then Cao Ren found out where Zhao Yun was, and exclaimed: "Zhao Zilong! Come! Kill him! ”
Cao Ren didn't say a word, and a big knife slashed towards Zhao Yun's head. Zhao Yun was not ambiguous, and the spear and Cao Ren fought together.
Seeing that he was about to enter the fighting general mode, Guo Jia immediately stopped: "Zixiao! Don't do it! ”
Guo Jia played a great role, and Cao Ren was really stopped by him with a word.
Zhao Yun also withdrew his weapon, and he had a deep understanding of why Cao Cao wanted Guo Jia to come to herald.
"Zixiao, on the orders of the lord, convey the military order to the two Xiahou generals, the eldest prince and the general!" Guo Jia said straight to the point.
"The lord's military order?" Cao Ren felt a bad feeling when Guo Jia suddenly said it.
Guo Jia took out a piece of parchment, which was a military order written by Cao Cao temporarily, and said: "On the orders of the lord, I strictly order Xiahou Yuanrang, Xiahou Miaocai, Cao Zixiu, Cao Zixiao and other departments to surrender to the imperial court!" Accept the moderation of the imperial court, and do not disobey! ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire Cao army, including Cao Ren, was silent. Cao Cao's military order was to let them surrender and return to the imperial court, so what was the point of them rushing over to the rescue in a hurry?
"Impossible! The lord would not give such a military order! Cao Ren refused in his heart, although he knew that Guo Jia would not joke with Cao Cao's military orders.
Guo Jia took out a tiger talisman that Cao Cao gave him, and when he saw the tiger talisman like Cao Cao, he said loudly: "Cao Zixiao!" Do you dare to disobey the orders of your lord? ”
When the soldiers of Cao Jun saw Cao Cao's tiger talisman, the weapons in their hands stagnated. The Tiger Talisman represents Cao Cao, and the person holding the Tiger Talisman can do anything on behalf of Cao Cao. Others were holding tiger talismans, and Cao Ren also felt that there would be fakes. But Guo Jia won't, Guo Jia just wears the same pants as Cao Cao, and if he doesn't take out the tiger talisman, Guo Jia's words are also very weighty.
"I didn't expect that the main guild was defeated!" Cao Ren accepted Cao Cao's military order and said to the soldiers: "Put away your weapons and line up!" ”
The soldiers brought over by Cao Ren gathered into a formation one by one, silently waiting for Liu Jun's arrangement. The soldiers of the Cao army were a little happy in their hearts, after all, there was no need to fight now. No one wants to fight, no one wants to live with their head pinned to their waist. As soon as the war is over, then the good days are not far off.
"Bong-hyo! Where is the lord now? Cao Ren is still concerned about Cao Cao's safety.
Guo Jia understood what Cao Ren meant, and said: "The lord is in the Shouchun Palace, and now His Majesty Liu Boxuan and the lord are drinking and talking. ”
Cao Ren was stunned, Liu Yu is here! It is normal for Cao Cao to have such a military order. With Liu Yu here, then Cao Cao is safe. Other people may be unfavorable to Cao Cao, but Cao Ren knows that Liu Yu will not be unfavorable to Cao Cao.
"Well, the last general will obey the orders of the lord! I don't know what the military advisor has arranged? Cao Ren said.
Guo Jia glanced at Zhao Yun and saw that Zhao Yun had no opinions, so he said, "General Zixiao can follow us to General Miaocai and Yuanrang." ”
"Good!" Cao Ren accepted the arrangement immediately.
"General Zhao, I don't know what this arrangement is?" Guo Jia asked.
"Yes. However, the general thought that Guo Junshi could send someone to inform Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan that they would gather together, so that we would not have to run at both ends. Ben sent someone to inform him before he left, and Lord Zhuge and Master Sima estimated that they had already received the notice at this time. Zhao Yun expressed his opinion.
Zhao Yun is not the kind of person who is led by Guo Jia's nose, he has his own opinions and practices.
Guo Jia originally thought that Zhao Yun was just a powerful general, but he didn't expect that this brain was so good, he would do something in advance, and he did it under his Guo Jia's nose, which was really rare.
"What General Zhao said is very true!" Guo Jia complimented Zhao Yun, and then said to Cao Ren: "Zixiao, please send someone to inform the two Xiahou generals." ”
At this point, it was useless for Cao Ren to say anything, so he could only do what Guo Jia said.
Zhao Yun was a little worried that Cao Ren would suddenly explode just now, but it seemed that Cao Cao had a huge position in Cao Ren's hearts.
Guo Jia and Zhao Yun and his party, together with Cao Ren and a large number of troops, headed towards the location of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan.
And Cao Ren sent two teams of cavalry to take the first step, respectively in the direction of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.
When Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan received such news, the two were silent for a long time. In the end, they chose to obey Cao Cao's military orders, and the two forces gathered together.
In fact, this is still the people sent by Zhao Yun in the past, otherwise, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang would have to take the final fatal blow against Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan.
Before, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi worked together to confuse Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan and let them go to Shouchun. After Guan Yu successfully killed him, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had no scruples at all and began to attack Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were defeated and retreated.
What's even more terrifying is that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have designed a whole set of plans, compressing all the space of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan to an extreme, as long as it takes another two or three days, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan will be annihilated by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were both aware of this situation, and now that Cao Cao asked them to surrender, they were only a little uncomfortable. The huge gap in strength made Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan unable to do anything even if they were unwilling.
The remnants of the two Cao armies began to assemble in the center. And Liu Jun didn't have any obstacles.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan finally converged. When the two met, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun both found that the other party was very embarrassed, and the soldiers were almost exhausted and discouraged.
Compared to Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan's situation does not look very good.
"Yuan Rang, what's wrong with you?" Xiahou Yuan had never seen Xiahoudun like this.
"The lord ordered us to surrender Liu Jun, and some of his subordinates reacted violently! So I dealt with them. Xiahoudun said with a little heartache.
Xiahou Yuan didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The soldiers under Xiahoudun were loyal to Cao Cao, and they could fight constantly for Cao Cao's death. However, the cavalry sent by Cao Ren told them that Cao Cao made them all surrender like Liu's army, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and some of the generals of Cao Ren were so emotional at the moment that they didn't believe this, and loudly denounced the comers as spies and wanted to disturb the morale of Cao's army.
Xiahoudun knew in his heart that the cavalry who came to deliver the news was Cao Ren's subordinates, and he Xiahoudun knew him, so Cao Ren would not joke about this.
Xiahoudun was also unwilling in his heart, but if they did not obey Cao Cao's military orders, it would be disloyal to Cao Cao and worthy of being Cao Cao's subordinates. What's more, if they continue to resist, Cao Cao's safety will be difficult to guarantee.
However, some of Xiahoudun's subordinates were reluctant, and they threatened to lead troops to Shouchun to rescue Cao Cao from danger. Not just words, in fact, these generals began to take actual actions, and they didn't take Xiahoudun in their eyes at all.
As a general, Xiahoudun will never allow such a situation to happen. Xiahoudun immediately took all these generals into custody.
Of course, there was a lot of fighting and bloodshed.
Seeing that his subordinates, who were usually respectful to him, were taken into custody by himself, or because of their loyalty to Cao Cao, how could Xiahoudun's mood be good.
On the contrary, the situation on Xiahou Yuan's side was relatively smooth. The soldiers and generals did not have much resistance to Cao Cao's military order, and they acted in full accordance with Cao Cao's military order.
"Yuan Rang, the matter has come to this, we can only obey the military orders of the lord! Besides, with our current strength, there is no way to give the lord much support. Xiahou Yuan persuaded Xiahou Yuan.
It may be that Xiahou Yuan's personality is more broad.
Xiahoudun nodded heavily, in fact, he could not accept the fact that Cao Cao was defeated so far, and he also demanded that he and others surrender to Liu Jun.
"This world really belongs to Liu Yu. Our struggle for so many years, the hegemony of the lord has become an empty thing. Xiahoudun looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Shiya! Fate! As a martial artist, we have already made a great name in this troubled era, and we are content enough. Later generations will have your and my names in history. Yuan Rang, I want to take you, at least the lord is still safe, and we are all alive and well. "Xiahou Yuan's idea is much better than Xiahou Yuan's.
Xiahoudun silently listened to Xiahouyuan's persuasion.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.
"Miaocai, Fengxiao is here!" Xiahoudun's eyes showed a fine light.
