Chapter 959: Zhang Lu's identity revealed
Three days later, Cao Cao's body almost recovered, and premature birth caused some bleeding, but under Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, this problem was not a problem.
"Don't you have a few more days off?" In the afternoon, Wang Yong came over a little and then brought afternoon tea.
"Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou, mainly things in Hanzhong need to be paid attention to, and the Taiwei helped share some of them, but as a general, I can't help but pay attention to it." Cao Cao replied, "Fighting a war itself is not a simple matter, the Xuzhou Legion and the Yanzhou Legion, every time they march and fight, it means that a large amount of grain, grass and materials are consumed. All kinds of verifications, as well as applications for new materials, will be sent to Xudu. ”
"Didn't you say that it was provided by the state where the legion is located first, and then it was reported to the imperial court for reimbursement?" Wang Yong asked rhetorically, after all, it would be a waste of time to report it layer by layer. In particular, the army on the front line will not be replenished as a result.
"There is still a month to go for the autumn harvest, especially after such a long time, the situation in both states is not optimistic." Cao Cao replied, "So we can only hope that we will allocate military rations from other states and counties, such as Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and even Jingzhou." Let's just say Sizhou, I just wrote a document, hoping that Sizhou will allocate a batch of grain to the Liangzhou army in Hanzhong, and I still need the seal of the Taiwei and His Majesty before I can send it over. ”
"Hanzhong, it's just the level of coercion, right? Some time ago, a batch of materials was allocated to come over...... "Wang Yong felt very strange, why did he need to allocate additional food."
"The battle seems to be stalemate, and Zhang Lu seems to have taken advantage of the barbarians in the mountains to quickly pass through the mountains on both sides of the Slope Valley and the Meridian Valley, but we are not familiar with that side at all. After a few simple contacts, there were wins and losses against each other, and it seemed that there was a real fire. If you don't continue to advance at this time, the effect of coercion cannot be formed, but if you continue to advance......" Cao Cao is also having a headache.
"It is estimated that the soldiers will not be able to rest well." Wang Yong also began to understand how bad the situation was.
From Yongzhou across the Qinling Mountains into Hanzhong, the two main roads are the Slope Valley and the Meridian Valley. There are other ways to go, nothing more than to take Hanshui or Jingshan, but it is more difficult.
"How about learning from Sun Quan, recruiting the local barbarians, and helping us deal with Zhang Lu as a guide?" Wang Yong thought for a while, "I'm sorry, I seem to be a little nosy. ”
He also said not to use his brain so much, but as soon as he heard this result, he subconsciously came up with an idea.
"I'll tell you this, and I'm going to ask you what you mean." Cao Cao replied, "I will have a separate meeting to discuss the matter later, and it may be later to go back tonight, so you have to help me take care of Chong'er's affairs." ”
"It's also my child, of course I will take care of it." Wang Yong said with a smile.
An hour later, Cao Cao did hold a meeting, deducting Guo Jia, a military advisor, and Tian Feng as the main staff officer. Cao Cao made a deal with Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and after conquering Youzhou, he kept Yuan Shao's three sons and daughters, at the cost of two of them being under his command.
No matter what, it's better than finding someone to marry, that's the real life is better than death for the two.
"Surrender is possible, but it doesn't seem like you can expect too much. Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong with his excellent governing ability with the Five Dou Mi Sect, and many of the surrounding barbarians were convinced by her, and many people also joined the Five Dou Mi Sect. Barbarians can not be afraid of death, but they are afraid of the punishment of the gods, so it is unlikely that they will betray Zhang Lu......" Tian Feng thought about it and replied.
With her and Fu Zhu's status, even if she is imprisoned, she is mainly under house arrest. During that time, the two of them were idle and bored, and they did put some effort into understanding the situation in the court today. It can probably be inferred that recently, the focus of the imperial court has been on the side of Hanzhong.
"There is no one in this world who cannot be betrayed, it depends on how many chips you give." Guo Jia teased.
"Hmph......" Tian Feng stopped talking, feeling that Guo Jia was mocking himself just now.
"Yuan, do you have a more secure way?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, considering Guo Jia's identity, it was not impossible to understand the best way to deal with Zhang Lu.
"There is a shortcut that may ensure that we can pass through the valley and into the Hanzhong range. When the time comes, with the surrender of the barbarians, it may be possible to successfully defeat Hanzhong. Guo Jia replied.
"Oh, what is the opinion of Guo Saijiu? I'm curious, too! Tian Feng didn't have a good impression of the surname Guo, Guo Tu used to be under Yuan Shao, so he was more flattering and welcoming. has talent in itself, but in the end, he has to flatter and fight to stand out.
Counting up, this Guo Jia, like Guo Tu, seems to be from Yingchuan Guo's appearance.
"Yang Song, judging from the intelligence, Yang Song is Zhang Lu's husband, but he cares more about his family, or rather, all his thoughts are on her sister." Guo Jiarao said with interest.
It's nothing more than sister control, everyone knows how much in this world, there are some parents who are particularly close to themselves, and brothers and sisters who are especially close to themselves. To say that it is special is not to say that it is close to being morbid.
"So as long as Yang Song is promised enough benefits, then he can sell Zhang Ludu." Guo Jia replied.
"No wonder you just said that......" Cao Cao understood, what she said just now turned out to be a foreshadowing for this.
Tian Feng was also a little embarrassed, thinking that Guo Jia was targeting himself...... Of course, maybe by the way, against yourself. So he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Is the news accurate?!" ”
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be talking about that here. In addition, I have another piece of news, which may be the key to Zhang Lu's reluctance to surrender, if it is used well, it may not be the key to surrender...... It is precisely because of this news that Zhang Lu is so stubborn. Guo Jia replied.
"Tell me about it?" Cao Cao was a little curious.
"This news can only be said to you privately." Guo Jia winked at Cao Cao.
"Well, that's what you say in my ear." Cao Cao nodded.
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately came to her ear and whispered: "About thirty years ago, the three sisters of Zhang Lu seemed to have left Bashu to travel the world, and it was also at that time that Zhang Jiao suddenly appeared and began to spread the Taiping Sect. I looked at the teachings of the Taiping Sect and the Five Dou Mi Sect and there were quite a few similarities. Of course, in fact, the scholarship of Taoism is much the same. ”
"What do you mean!" Cao Cao couldn't believe it, it was clear back then.
"All three of them were masked missionaries back then, so no one had seen their faces. At that time, the imperial court crusaded against the Taiping Sect, relying on nothing more than the identification of the generals of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the identification of an important person......" Guo Jia replied.
"Tang Zhou!" Cao Cao immediately thought of this person, and after denunciating Ma Yuanyi at that time, he set off with the army and made meritorious contributions. After the war, he was let go, after all, Liu Xie disappeared at that time, who would care about him as a little person.
"As far as I know, Yan Pu, the strategist next to Zhang Lu, may be Tang Zhou back then." Guo Jia gave the final blow.
