Chapter 821: The Hungry Tiger Comes Out
Luoyang, Xianyang Garden.
Cao Pi's close attendants and ministers became more and more scarce, and now only the guards led by Xu Chu were left on the periphery, and his wives were left around him, as well as another son, Cao Yong, the king of Handan.
Approaching the month of Layue, the Luoyang garrison was successively reorganized, and the Wuwei Sanwei Army led by Xu Zhu had completed the de facto reorganization, just to take care of Cao Pi's feelings, and did not wear the government soldier uniform, nor did he use the flag.
After all, Cao Pi is the son of heaven after all, and he wants to surrender...... There should also be basic etiquette and pomp.
At the very least, when Cao Pi surrendered, he had to take the complete state of Wei's ministers, hundreds of officials, and army formation...... Therefore, at present, many Wei fathers in the capital are receiving a round of appointments to the post of secretary of state, in order to complete the establishment of Wei courtiers, so that the etiquette is great when they surrender, and it is also convenient for the northern government to report their merits.
A sense of worry permeated Cao Pi's side, because Hedong had gathered 200,000 main forces of the Wei army, and the main force of Guanlong's soldiers could not move lightly, and Tian Xin would not move.
Therefore, in the Han army system in the Guanlong area and in the government soldier system, Ma Chao, whose status is second only to Tian Xin, will come to Luoyang to surrender.
Ma Chao came to Luoyang to be surrendered...... Nature is a big thing.
For Cao Pi, no matter how unscrupulous Ma Chao is, he will not kill himself, but Cao Yong is not necessarily.
The son in the north can no longer be counted on, and now he can only hope that Cao Yong can live a stable life, inherit and spread the bloodline.
I didn't dare to think about any superfluous things, but Ma Chao came to surrender, and Cao Yong's life was naturally threatened.
In addition to Cao Yong's safety, in terms of Ma Chao's character, it is very likely that he will take revenge on the events of the year, plunder the wives and daughters of the ministers of Luoyang, and redistribute them to the army.
Therefore, the officials of the Duke of Luoyang were very insecure, but the garrison had been reorganized and controlled by Cao Xiu.
Let Ma Chao come to be surrendered, that is, out of consideration of the situation, Ma Chao is the most suitable person at present.
At the same time, Ma Chaolai's surrender was also a transaction within the government soldiers.
When he came to Luoyang to be surrendered, it was impossible for Ma Chao to bring many troops, and it was only 3,000 people; After the surrender was completed, Ma Chao would become the military governor of the Luoyang region, responsible for the offensive of Hanoi and Shangdang, in order to cut off the southern retreat of the Wei army in Hedong.
The southern retreat can be easily cut off, so this is a sideways and auxiliary military feat.
If Ma Chao came to Luoyang, he would have to lose some of the Qiang Han troops affected by him; Chen Canghou Ma Dai has already separated from Ma Chao, so if he comes to Luoyang, Ma Chao's army will be reduced to three thousand.
So, will Ma Chao refuse this precious opportunity to take revenge and show off his might?
will not refuse, even if he is only allowed to wear a purple guard to Luoyang, Ma Chao will choose revenge.
Ma Chao would choose to personally humiliate the monarchs and ministers of Wei who asked for surrender, rather than pretending to others.
He came to the south to fight on the flank battlefield, so who will replace Ma Chao's original combat mission?
This problem was urgently solved by the Northern Mansion, and it was also the urgent need for the Wei State to investigate and obtain.
Cao Pi himself is hopeless, but if the Hedong Wei army can stubbornly defend it, it will fight back and forth...... Then it is natural to surrender conditionally and get some preferential treatment.
When Cao Pi's family was in trouble, Xu Chu strode to report and handed over a volume of front-line Qin Lang and Cao Xiu's recitals.
It is said to be a report, more like a military intelligence briefing, a routine notice.
Qin Lang's report naturally explained that Cao Mao was assassinated, his mother was stabbed by a poisonous sword, and she urgently needed to be transported to Guanzhong for medical treatment; At the same time, on the grounds of respecting the wishes of his mother, Mrs. Du, he asked for the restoration of the Lu family.
This kind of change of surname, Cao Pi is also mentally prepared.
If it weren't for Qin Lang's 'Qin' word, it would have been cleared long ago.
Whether it is Qin Lang or Lu Lang, they are both Yuanming, or the child raised by the Cao family, no one can change this.
As for Cao Mao's assassination, this kind of thing has already happened, and there is really no need to worry too much; I asked the government soldiers to surrender, not the Han army.
To investigate oneself, it is also mainly on the part of the government soldiers, and it is impossible for the Han army to unilaterally investigate and interrogate.
Besides...... In this world, apart from himself, who can let Cao Mao, a reckless and conceited person, sell his life?
There's no need to worry about the assassination, and you don't have to worry about the debt.
Cao Xiu's report briefly analyzed Guan Yu's mentality, believing that the combat intentions of the Kwantung Han army would change.
Other than that, he didn't say anything else, whether to send this critical military intelligence to Hebei...... It depends on how Cao Pi chooses.
Cao Pi hesitated and asked: "Zhongkang, Yun Changgong is a person who protects the short, and he is the most face-saving. Today, Yuan Ming sent the princess to Chang'an for help, and there was a suspicion of heroic shortness of breath and long love for children. Zhong Kang also knows Yun Chang's temperament, is this move to show the enemy's weakness, or is it a sound attack? Or maybe it's throwing stones to ask for directions? ”
"The minister is blunt."
Xu Chu lowered his head and said: "Duke Chen knows Yun Changgong's temperament, why don't you send an envoy to Guanzhong to inform you of this matter." ”
"Well, stand down."
Cao Pi sent Xu Chu back to Queen Guo to discuss the matter, and prepared to arrange for Cao Yong to go to Guanzhong to report the news as Xu Chu prompted, and then stay in Guanzhong as a hostage.
As long as you can avoid Ma Chao, everything will be fine.
What I am most afraid of is that the front foot sent Cao Yong to Guanzhong, and encountered Ma Chao on the way...... Ma Chao will not show mercy.
Even if Ma Chao kills him, who can cure Ma Chao's crime?
His own family killed Ma Chao's family, and Ma Chao killed his own family...... It's reasonable and fair.
If there is important military information that needs to be passed on by Cao Yong, it will be different, and Ma Chao will also have to weigh one or two.
You have to gamble, if you don't bet, when Ma Chao comes to Luoyang, it will be too late, you can only lead the neck and kill it, and let the mermaid flesh.
Queen Guo pondered carefully and considered her tone: "Minister Chen's envoy Ma Mengqi sat in the capital, intending to deter the imperial court in the future. Since Ma Meng came out of Yizhou, he and Chen have cooperated tacitly. Chen Gong Xinyi is known in the sea, and Ma Mengqi's notoriety has also spread in all directions. This madman and dog are also, and now Chen Gong released him from the cage, with the intention of deterring Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming. ”
"Yes, as Madame said, Ma Meng came to Luoyang, it was a sharp sword out of the sheath, how can there be a saying that it is not stained with blood and returned to the sheath?"
Cao Pimian is worried, and the most important thing now is to protect his son and avoid Ma Chao's knife.
Ma Chao is here to do bad things, and it is wonderful to be full of blood, so that he can better complete the task arranged by Tian Xin.
Doing this kind of thing is being voted for Ma Chao's mind.
Although he can understand the confrontation between Beifu and the imperial court, he also understands Ma Chao's tricks, and he can also understand the various deep meanings of Ma Chao's coming to Luoyang to kill people.
But if you want to kill Cao Yong...... That's another story.
Queen Guo was also upset, and after the meeting in the Sunset Pavilion, she was destined to have such a day.
Zhang Heneng gave up the revenge of killing his son, and took the initiative to accept the order of Beifu to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Nanyang...... Since then, the will of the Luoyang garrison has completely collapsed, and then the Beifu sent people to reorganize the Wei army, which is logical and has been completed with half the effort.
After thinking for a moment, Queen Guo's tone was firm: "Your Majesty, the King of Handan is envoy to Chang'an, and there is still a glimmer of life. If you stay in the capital, you will surely die. ”
It was only in Kanto that Cao Mao's assassination of Guan Yu occurred; Now that Cao Yong is going to Kanto to defect to Cao Zhi, he will definitely be disposed of on the way.
Cao Rong in the north is already going crazy, let Cao Yong run to the north to avoid trouble, not to mention whether he can escape the liquidation in the future, it will be difficult for Cao Rong to pass this pass.
As for the Han court in Jiangdu, this does not need to be considered, it is too far away, and it is easy to be stuck by the Han army who admires Guan Yu and be executed in retaliation.
After weighing for a moment, Cao Pi had no choice but to send his son to the west for that glimmer of life.
At the moment, he is more like a father than an emperor on high.
