Chapter 887 The Deliberations in Fangling City
Cao Cao finally took the Fangling Tomb in Hanzhong, which was indeed not easy for him to the Yanzhou army. As for Wang Ping running away with the remnants of the army, although Le Jin has some regrets, he also knows that it is good to be able to take Fangling, as for Wang Ping and his people, it is indeed a long time to come, and there will always be opportunities in the future, isn't it. Unless he, Wang Ping, will no longer lead troops to fight, or he will die of illness or accident, or he will be convinced that he will be able to meet him again.
After seizing the Fangling Tomb in Hanzhong, Cao Cao was indeed in a good mood. Xin said that after listening to Gongda's words, he brought a large army to Fangling, although it was a hard battle for his own side, but he still won the city after all, so the efforts of his own soldiers and generals were not in vain. Of course, I also tried my best, so I was really relieved to be able to win Fangling.
Because it was already very late when he took the city, Cao Cao didn't gather everyone to say anything, so he directly ordered everyone to disperse and go to rest. In fact, he also knew that the generals under him, of course, as well as his Yanzhou soldiers, could be said to be very tired in the past few days. I basically didn't do anything, I was so tired, let alone other people. So Cao Cao, as the lord, has nothing to do, so he is not ready to gather everyone, and he just wants everyone to rest-
And Cao Cao, as the main father, naturally cares more about his subordinates, and he doesn't want to be overworked. And let a few of his men fall. Now that the war in Jingzhou is tight, the generals of their own side really cannot afford to lose. If you don't just rely on your own people, it is not an opponent of others. These Cao Cao is very clear, he still doesn't know this.
It wasn't until the second day that Cao Cao gathered everyone, and he was still the same old-fashioned, praising everyone, especially Lejin. Anyway. Le Jin is the one who has the most credit, of course, although it was his deputy general Ren Jun who gave him the idea. However, in Cao Cao's place, Le Jin's credit is also indispensable, after all, it was Le Jin who came in to ask him for advice, not the deputy general Ren Jun. However, Cao Cao is the main father. But he still praised the two of them. After all, it is certainly not advisable to let the horses run and not let the horses graze.
After that, I heard Cao Cao say to everyone, "Everyone, now that our army has occupied the Fangling Tomb in Hanzhong, it can be said that it has opened the door to the eastern part of Hanzhong!" And tonight, everyone will go to the banquet, let's not get drunk and not return! ”——
Cao Cao said it was a wine banquet. In fact, everyone doesn't understand, is it actually a celebration banquet? So everyone smiled and agreed. After all, the lord said that he would hold a banquet for everyone, except that if he really couldn't come, who would dare not come, but everyone here would not be absent, and there was no reason for them to be absent.
After talking about the celebration banquet, Cao Cao said again, "Everyone, although our army has now captured the Hanzhong Fangling, but the future war will continue, for our army, the Jingzhou war is still 'a long way to go'!" ”
When everyone heard it, didn't they, now they can't be complacent just because they have captured a tomb. If you want to say how big the entire Hanzhong County is, and how big Fangling is, anyway, among those counties in Hanzhong, Fangling definitely belongs to the back. That is, you can pay attention to it, at least those people in Hanzhong, it seems that they don't pay so much attention.
"So today I still have to ask you, what is the next step of our army, what are the plans, you can speak freely, but you don't have to worry!"
When everyone heard it, yes, now they have listened to Mr. Gongda's words and taken Fangling, but after that, what should I do? ——
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than two situations, and you can choose either one.
First, it is natural to continue to march into Hanzhong, and now it is only a Fangling, but Hanzhong is so big, and there are other important county towns that are not yet in their own hands, so it is not a good plan to continue to attack.
As for the second, of course, it is better to return to Jingzhou, after all, what did you do, and everyone has not forgotten it. Yes, it is to seize Jingzhou, and now that he has come to Hanzhong, it is already an exception, but everyone is competing for interests in Jingzhou, and he has been away for a long time, so it is better to return to Jingzhou, or Jingzhou may fall into the hands of others.
So when everyone thought of these two possibilities, they were a little hesitant, because which one they wanted, and which one was a little reluctant. After all, whether it is a county in Hanzhong or the land of Jingzhou, it can be said that it is extremely important for the Yanzhou army, this is for sure, or Cao Cao would not have listened to Xun You's words, and directly pulled the army to Hanzhong-
And Cao Cao looked at everyone's expressions at this time, to be honest, he knew better than anyone else that his subordinates, mainly these generals, were in a dilemma. He could also understand what they were thinking at this time, indeed, a little difficult to choose. It is also true that for oneself, whether it is the military town of Hanzhong or the land of Jingzhou, it is very important to oneself, and it can be said that it is a place for oneself to fight, but now when the two collide, it is difficult for everyone to choose.
Cao Cao, he was secretly laughing in his heart at this time, originally, he was not such an indecisive person, if Yuan Shao encountered this matter, he might find it difficult to make a choice, and he would be undecided, but this matter was put on Cao Cao's body, but he was definitely not like Yuan Shao.
And he thought to himself at this time, this thing is actually not difficult to think. I am a good choice, as long as I think about it, I will know what I need most now. It's just a pity. My own subordinates are indeed going to be blinded by some immediate interests, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity-
Cao Cao had such an idea in his heart, when he was thinking, someone was already talking, and it was Le Jin who was speaking. I only heard him say at this time, "Lord, my subordinates think." Our army should continue to the west to seize Shangyong, as long as Shangyong is in the hands of our army, then it is enough to form a greater threat to Hanzhong! ”
Cao Cao listened. The heart said obviously. Wen Qian is the one who is blinded by immediate interests. Yes, who doesn't know the importance of the mediocrity to oneself, but the mediocrity may be something you can take if you say you can take it, and now it is so difficult to capture a house tomb, let alone the mediocrity, it can only be considered in the long run, not to say that it is to attack.
Cao Cao knows better than anyone else that he wants to talk about Fang Ling. Zhang didn't arrange heavy troops to defend the palace at all, but he was mediocre. If he hadn't sent heavy troops, it wouldn't have been possible.
If Fangling is just such a county town where you knock on the eastern gateway of Hanzhong, then Shangyong is definitely such an important county town for the Liangzhou army to resist its westward advance-
If you want to say that Cao Cao will definitely not be afraid of anything, but if he really lets his own men and horses attack Shangyong, then even if he takes the city, the most difficult thing may outweigh the losses, after all, don't forget, what is your side here to do, not to seize Hanzhong, but to fight Jingzhou, to seize the land of Jingzhou.
After listening to Le Jin's words, Cao Cao didn't say anything to him, but said, "I already understand Wen Qian's meaning." But I don't know if you still have something to say? ”
This time it was Man Favor Man Boning who spoke, only to hear Man Pet say at this time, "Lord, my subordinates think that our army should return to Nanjun!" ”
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Berning say that?" ”
Full of petted smiles, "Lord, everyone, don't forget, what is our army here to do this time!" But it's definitely not to seize Hanzhong, and I'm not afraid of everyone saying that it is difficult for our army to seize the land of Hanzhong now! But Jingzhou is different, now Jingzhou is in chaos, so in such a chaos, our army is doing a lot, so the lord, the meaning of his subordinates is, return to Jingzhou! ”——
After listening to Manzhong's words, Cao Cao nodded, to say that Manzhong really said that he was in his heart. And he said in his heart at this time, he has to be a person who has really read books, you see that Man Boning has more things than Le Wenqian, and in this regard, Wen Qian is indeed not as good as others.
In fact, Cao Cao is not the only one, as long as he is in favor of returning to the army, after listening to Manzhong's words, he can't help but nod. Indeed, they are almost the same as what Man Pet wants, so of course they are in favor. It can be said that most of the people are in favor of returning to Jingzhou, and only a few people want to continue to enter Hanzhong.
At this time, I heard Cao Cao say, "Okay, Berning's words are very reasonable, I don't know what you think?" ”
At this time, even a fool can see what his lord means. Before, Le Jin said that he would continue to march into the army, but his lord didn't say anything, and then he said that he wanted to return to Jingzhou, but his lord said that it made sense. Who doesn't know what Lu Dao means, his lord's meaning is that he wants to return to Jingzhou! ——
So with the words of their own lord, those generals who agreed to return to Jingzhou immediately expressed their attitude, saying that they supported returning to Jingzhou, and now Jingzhou is the place where they want to show their strengths, and after leaving for so many days before, it is time to go back.
Obviously, Cao Cao was very satisfied with everyone. The last person who didn't speak, there were only three people left, one martial arts and two literati, the military general was naturally Guan Yu, and the scribes, needless to say, just two of them, Xun You and Cheng Yu. Because seeing so many people talking, the two of them were much more silent, and for them, in fact, their lords had already thought about it, so they would return to the army, and they both agreed, and there were so many people who agreed, so they didn't want the two of them to say anything.
As for Guan Yu, he actually agrees with returning to Jingzhou, of course, of course, he will not be afraid of the Liangzhou army in Hanzhong, but what is the current situation, he still doesn't know what the way is. Therefore, it is very beneficial for you to return to Jingzhou immediately, but if you are in Hanzhong, then it is very likely that you will have to fall into it.
Cao Cao asked, "I don't know what Yunchang, Gongda and Zhongde think, should our army return to Jingzhou as soon as possible?" But only the three of you didn't express your opinions, hahaha! ”——
When a few people heard this, they said in their hearts that the lord (Cao Gong), you clearly want a few people to express their stance and say that they agree with you, or do you still need to say so?
They all understood what Cao Cao meant, in fact, what Cao Cao meant by this, but a few of you were left without expressing their position, so they hurriedly said that you supported returning to Jingzhou. If you want to say Cao Cao, you almost said it directly, and the three of them also know a little about him, Xun You and Cheng Yu, who know their lord quite well, that is, Guan Yu, who also knows Cao Cao a little.
Xun You hurriedly said, "Yes, lord, my subordinates are in favor of returning to the army, so our army should leave as soon as possible!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, naturally satisfied with Xun You. Later, Cheng Yu also said, "Yes, the subordinates have the same idea as Gongda, and the same is true!" ”
Seeing that the two strategists agreed, Cao Cao knew that this matter had been decided, but Guan Yu was the only one left in everyone who didn't speak, if he didn't listen to what he said, would it be for him to have something to worry about-
But before Cao Cao could say anything, Guan Yu spoke. (To be continued......)
