Chapter 68: Arrogant and Treacherous, Forcibly Sending Troops (Medium)
On the third day of December in the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, in the name of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, issued the "Crusade against the Han Dynasty": the text said that Liu Bei was unidentified, pretending to be the emperor's uncle, bewitching the people, and causing misery...... The only way to defeat it is to behead it and correct the law of the country!
Cao Cao personally wrote a letter, sent a messenger to Wu County, and handed it over to the overlord of Jiangdong - Sun Quan, the letter contained many threatening words, especially the last few sentences: "The nearest one is guilty of resigning, Lu Nan Zhi, Liu Cong is tied, the Imaji water army is 800,000 people, and Fang and the general will hunt in Wu!" ”
The purpose of the traitor is clear, that is, to use his strong military strength to intimidate this blue-eyed boy, so that he had better follow Liu Cong's example, obediently hand over the six counties of Jiangdong, and save the lives of the Sun family!
Take a step back and say, even if Sun Quan refuses to surrender, don't act rashly, so that the alliance of Sun and Liu will be dismantled, and when the big-eared thief Liu Bei is cleaned up, the army will march east along the river and take the six counties of Jiangdong into his hands!
Cao Cao's diplomatic card can be described as shrewd, but he overlooked one thing, this twenty-four-year-old blue-eyed man is not a weak and incompetent person, but a smart and strategic master!
After the letter was sent, there was no feedback, and even the messenger did not return, and then there was a secret agent to report, Sun Quan issued a decree: In the six counties of Jiangdong, all men over the age of 18 and under the age of 50 should be conscripted into the army and prepared to fight!
The money, grain, and ordnance of the six counties also gathered in Wu County, and then used large and small boats to go retrograde along the Yangtze River waterway and sent them to the camp at the mouth of the three rivers!
Obviously, a threatening letter did not scare the Jiangdong overlord, but aroused resistance.
On December 27, the ninth year of Jian'an, after a little preparation, Cao Cao ignored the approaching New Year, the people's hearts, and the cold weather, and the fatigue of the men and horses, and forcibly issued an order to go out, a total of more than 400,000 horses, feet, and sailors, and falsely claimed to be 800,000 to the outside world, and marched along the Yangtze River water and land!
The navy army went down the river, and there was the northwest wind to help, the advance was extremely rapid, and the grain, grass, and ordnance of the Cao army were also transported by water, and for a time, there were 10,000 ships on the floating river, and the momentum was huge!
The infantry set off from Gangneung, went straight to Wulin, the middle of more than 300 miles of area, this is the ancient 'Yunze', there are many lakes, the roads are waterlogged, the depth is not carrying boats, the shallow is not accessible to vehicles and horses, and it is impassable in spring, summer and autumn!
Fortunately, it is now the cold winter wax moon, the season of dripping into ice, the original muddy road, frozen hard porcelain, people, horses, vehicles unimpeded, except for the easy slippage under the feet, there is no other problem!
There are many heroes in the world, and the four seas are fighting,
From the year of the expedition, ten years have not stopped,
The bow is carved and broken, and the sword is sparse,
The sea of blood is full of enemies, and the remnants of the halberd are fierce,
The sky and the earth are smoky, and the sky is turned day and night,
……………………………………
"Ahem! --Cough! Cough! ”
"Brother Wuwu can fight well and be brilliant, no wonder countless beautiful people secretly promise it!"
"Then our little queen, do you have a secret promise?"
"Of course there is, and I like to die and live...... Ha ha! ”
Barren mountains and mountains, rugged roads, thousands of troops and horses, slowly walking...... Xiao Yat rode the ink smoke horse, recalling the eventful years, and couldn't help but recite a few lines of poetry, but as soon as he was halfway recited, he was blown back by the cold wind!
The winter in the south is cold and wet, which makes people very uncomfortable, Xiao Yi tightened his fox fur, clasped his hands around his chest, and a little head poked out of it, which was the cute little queen!
Maybe it's because they've been separated for too long, but after the two reunited, they became like glue, and they panicked when they didn't see each other for a while, Xiao Yi led the army eastward and took the little queen with him!
However, the little queen has a special physique, in order to avoid all kinds of troubles, Xiao Yi concealed her origin, and only said that it was after the old man, because there was a rumor that with the Tianyin virgin as an introduction, the elixir of life could be refined!
Emperors and generals, dignitaries and dignitaries, who doesn't want to live forever, the traitor is old, I'm afraid he also has this kind of thought, if he knows the little queen, send someone to forcibly ask for it, what should it be?
Therefore, Xiao Yi gets along with the little girl Wang Chaoxi, which is also a kind of protection for her, and at the same time secretly resolves that if the traitor really comes to rob people, he will be a sword and a soldier, and he will not compromise!
But a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl who looks like an elf suddenly appeared next to Xiao Yi, and she didn't know the origin of her life experience, so it was inevitable that people would talk about it?
Some people speculate that she is the lost sister of Da Sima, but she found it in Changsha County, if it is not a close relative, then can she sit at the same table, ride together, and sleep in the same tent?
There are also speculations that Da Sima is lonely and unbearable, and he found another Mrs. Ru, because there is no family affection in the eyes of the two, but a strong love between men and women, not to mention that everyone also knows that the ghost-faced Xiao Lang loves girls!
In the face of various rumors, Xiao Yi smiled and did not answer, because in his heart, it is difficult to position the little queen, the sister who has known since childhood, a private lifelong lover, or a sweet dream that will never wake up?
"The whole army stops, bury the pot and make food, and camp here tonight!"
"No!"
The men and horses walked slowly, and came to a valley, with cliffs on both sides, unclimbable, and a narrow road in the middle, with a width of only seven or eight zhang, which was called a dangerous place!
But compared with the outside, the valley is dry and flat, warm and windless, it is a good place to rest, seeing that it is getting late, Xiao Yi ordered: the soldiers dismounted, buried the pot to cook, and stationed in the valley tonight!
The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is strictly disciplined, although it is far away from the battlefield, but it does not dare to be sloppy at all, and immediately sends rangers to reconnoiter the situation in the vicinity for dozens of miles, and also arranges people and horses to guard the two mouths of the canyon, so as not to have accidents!
Next, the soldiers lit a bonfire, boiled broth, dispelled the cold on their bodies, took out bean cakes and forage, fed the sitting war horses, and quickly set up cowhide tents!
"Mr. Wenhe is here, the broth is just cooked, and the spices of the Western Regions are added, please use a bowl!"
Inside the cowhide tent - Xiao Yi, the little queen, Guo Yi, and Deng Ai were drinking broth around the bonfire, and a figure suddenly flashed outside the tent, it was the elusive Jia Xu!
Jia Xu bowed, took the broth with both hands, and took it lightly one bite at a time, but he didn't say a word, obviously there are some things that can't be said in public!
Guo Yi, Deng Ai and others were smart, they immediately got up and left the tent and went to the guard at the door, the little queen was also very well-behaved, returned to the back of the sleeping tent, and was responsible for covering the quilt warm!
"In the cold winter of the moon, waving the army to the east - when it is against the sky, abandon the saddle horse, compete on the water - the location is not advantageous, the soldiers are tired, and they are unable to fight again - it is unpopular, the prime minister is guilty of three taboos, why don't the big Sima advise?"
"I'm bored, I'm in a hurry, even if I persuade with good words, it's useless, but it will lead to a fire!"
"Since the building is in danger of capsizing, why don't Da Sima make plans early, you must know that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and life and death are unpredictable!"
"Thank you Mr. Wenhe for reminding me, I will think about this matter carefully, but we have been together for more than ten years, and we have involved each other too much!"
"When the judgment continues, but suffer from its chaos, for the sake of the world's major events, Da Sima must not be a woman's kindness!"
Jia Xu didn't say much, but what he said was very weighty, and then he hugged his fists and left, and his figure fell into the night, like a ghost who came and went without a trace!
Xiao Yat faced the bonfire, fell into contemplation, savored the words of the 'poisoner', and realized several meanings:
Cao Cao violated the time, location, and people, and forcibly sent troops to the east, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss, and the soldiers are in danger of war, life and death are unpredictable, and whether the traitor can return to the Central Plains is still between the two!
If there is really something unbearable, the world is bound to be in chaos, what should Xiao Yi do, should he faithfully assist the second generation of Cao and stabilize the situation in the Central Plains, or should he replace him and be the master of the Central Plains?
Taking a step back, even if Cao Cao does not die in a catastrophe, he will lose his troops and generals, and if his strength, prestige, and confidence are seriously damaged, the power structure of the Cao Ying Group will inevitably change accordingly!
At that time, where will Xiao Yi go, should he continue to endure and wait for the opportunity, or take the opportunity to make trouble and let out a bad breath in his heart?
In fact, there is a layer of obscure meaning in Jia Xu's words, but he didn't say it, because with Xiao Yi's intelligence, he can completely comprehend it by himself!
Now Cao Cao is in front of the army, Xiao Yi is leading the team, once the hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated, the only way to retreat is in Xiao Yi's control, if in a dangerous place, ambush a group of people, can block the pursuers, but also strangle ......
Thinking of this, even if Xiao Yi was determined to be iron, he couldn't help but shiver, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, but when he looked around, he found that this dangerous canyon was a good place for ambushes!
"Someone, call the guide to meet me!"
"No!"
"Guide Officer Tan Chao, meet Lord Sima!"
Xiao Yi found a problem, he chose to spend the night in the canyon, but he didn't know the name, so he sent someone to summon the guide and inquire in detail!
"What is the name of this place and what is the surrounding situation like?"
"The name of this place is: Huarong Road, which is the only way to pass through Jiangling and Wulin, and the terrain is dangerous and difficult to detour!"
"What...... Huarong Road? ”
Xiao Yi was startled again, waved his hand to rebuke the guide officer, and pondered in the face of the bonfire, his face was cloudy and mixed, as if it was difficult to choose a big deal!
"Come on, send the four beasts of hell to come, I have a big thing to entrust!"
