Chapter 0709: Tortured Cao Ren
Cao Ren didn't dare to gamble, and he was not willing to gamble, which is a common problem of people who are active. If he had enough information www.biquge.info he could make a wise judgment, but now he was in a dark place, where could he find his direction? It's not a choice, it can be made by drawing lots.
After thinking about it, in the end, he decided to continue to calm down. He said to everyone: "It doesn't matter whether this Wang Ping is sent by the lord or not, as long as our army does not move, we will not be fooled." For such a big matter, it is impossible for the lord to just send a messenger all the way, even if he doesn't see a reply from our army, he should continue to send people over, as long as he waits for the messenger of the lord to arrive, he can make Li Yi suffer the consequences! ”
"The general is wise." The response was not enthusiastic.
The generals have been tossed and dizzy, and would rather fight to the death than continue to break their heads and guess riddles; And the civil officials were unwilling to work hard, in their opinion, Cao Ren did not need to toss so much.
Want to make a meritorious service? The defeated army is like a tide, isn't the credit for defending the lonely city alone not big enough? No matter how big it is, it will be taboo! For those who are courtiers, high merit is definitely a taboo among the taboos!
As one of the frontier strongholds of Qingzhou, Fenggao County has sufficient grain and grass, and with the current size of the army, as long as it is unmoving, it will be no problem to hold on for a year or two.
When the dust settles on the Central Plains War, no matter who the winner is, it is impossible not to show respect for the warriors in the city. Why bother?
"There are many crossbowmen at the head of the city, and if anyone comes, you can not rush to open the city gates, but you must cover the safe arrival of the suspected messenger under the city. Whether it's true or not, you have to ask someone in person. ”
If you don't get a response, Cao Ren can't help it, a man must always act without being ashamed, rather than thinking only about his own interests. No matter how strong the enemy is, he can't already engage in battle, he has already lowered his head, even if he is a trapped beast, he must always fight!
"Whoa!"
………………
Cao Ren's ambition is commendable, but no matter how high his ambition is, it will not help much to improve the situation.
The first messenger seemed to be a signal, and three days later, a second messenger followed.
"Dead again?" Cao Ren was no longer in the mood to be angry, and near the moat, there was a dense patch of arrows, and it was obvious that the soldiers were already desperate. They even took the risk of lowering the drawbridge, but in the end, they only got a letter.
"The pursuit is the armored iron cavalry ...... in the northern Xinjiang" The soldiers were also very depressed, and anyone who saw a group of enemies who could not be killed showing off their might in front of them was in the same mood.
"Forget it." Cao Ren waved his hand and sighed.
"General, this is the letter." The soldier handed over the secret letter, and Cao Ren solemnly accepted it.
The sheepskin was mottled with blood, which showed how desperate the messenger had been. But what is sad is that Cao Ren can't even tell whether the desperate warriors are trying to complete their mission, or just to save their lives, or whatever......
When Zhanxin saw it, Cao Ren was immediately shocked.
"Tomorrow, Zhongde will go to the house for a banquet at noon, and there will be many guests and friends......"
It's the same as the last letter! Could it be that one true and one false, was deceived by the Northern Xinjiang Army? Or is it true that both? It's the lord who is not at ease, so he ...... Or are they all fake? So what is Li Yi's purpose?
Excited and worried, Cao Ren found Du Ji to answer the code. When the other party saw it, he immediately smiled bitterly: "This time is different, tomorrow is ahead, the meaning of Zhongde's representative is the number 'two', the other contents of this letter are the same, only the date has changed, and the time for the counteroffensive to be launched is February next year......
Cao Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this, not only because of the tricky thoughts of these staff members of the shogunate, but also because of the trouble caused by this letter.
One February, one August, this is half a year apart, but both possibilities exist!
The military advisor Cheng Yu reminded Cao Cao more than once that he wanted to overwhelm Li Yi and Zang Ba to join forces, and he should not be in a hurry, and his views were supported by most people; Xi Zhicai and others put forward the opposite statement, they think that Zang Ba may not be enough to worry, but Li Yi is a tiger, last year's Northern Xinjiang War finally tortured him to exhaustion, and he must not be given a chance to calmly recover his strength, otherwise Qingzhou will definitely fall into the hands of Hebei.
As a result, the strategy for Qingzhou evolved into a factional dispute. After the quarrel, the celebrities and gentlemen had forgotten their original intentions, and only thought about overwhelming each other, and opposed for the sake of opposition. Eventually, Cao Cao decided to adopt Xi Zhicai's idea, and the controversy finally stopped.
But now that time has passed, and with the fiasco of Shishui, maybe Cao Cao has reversed his previous decision and acted according to Cheng Yu's ideas.
In this way, although the counteroffensive still has to be fought, eighty percent will have to wait until nine out of ten are stable, this is Cheng Yu's style.
"At least one of these two letters is fake!" Du Ji said categorically, "It's likely that both copies are fake!" ”
Cao Ren was silent.
These two dates have diametrically opposite meanings, although Cao Cao is indecisive, but he will not change to this point, the difference between the two factions is only three days, and he chooses a back and forth between the two factions.
So, at least one of the two letters was fake, but he couldn't tell which one was fake.
The handwriting is all written by Cao Cao, and it is not bad at all! The identity of the messenger is similar, last time it was the son of the King of Taishan, and this time it was the person from the Taishan Bao family, who was the brother of Bao Xin.
Bao's family is located in Taishan Juping, which is close to Jibei Kingdom, and it should still be in Cao Cao's hands at the moment, but it is only theoretical, Juping is close to Jibei Kingdom, and Jibei Kingdom was attacked by Li Yi's generals Lu Wenlong and Yuwen Chengdu's personal guard iron cavalry, who knows the current situation there?
There is a lot of information, but none of it can help Cao Ren see the truth, and all of them are specious.
Du Ji said: "If my guess is correct, there must be people in the Northern Xinjiang Army who have a deep understanding of the internal situation of our army, maybe it is the internal response!" ”
Cao Ren felt that this was nonsense, how could he write such a code word if he didn't understand these words? The question is not here, but why is Li Yi so easily exposed since he has such a means? What is his purpose? What's in it for him to do this? The internal application in the high-level is good, and the effect is more than that, right?
If you lead yourself out of the city, why do the two letters have diametrically opposite meanings? Shouldn't the tone be harsher than the other, form coherence, and force yourself to fight?
And vice versa, Li Yi doesn't seem to want to stabilize himself in the city.
So what is he going to do, is it just to stun himself?
Cao Ren's head became two big, and he felt that in his life, he had never encountered such a strange and embarrassing thing. There is more and more information, but he is getting more and more confused, not to mention Li Yi's scheme, he can't even figure out what Li Yi is going to do.
Moreover, his suffering had not yet ended, and the next day a third messenger arrived.
What excites Cao Ren is that this messenger is alive!
"General, the brothers have been in ambush in the pile of corpses outside the city all night, and they have waited! It's a pity that you didn't see how wonderful the expressions on the faces of the Northern Frontier cavalry were when the brothers jumped out with shields and crossbows......"
The sergeant who reported the news happily boasted of his exploits, as if he had only saved a messenger, but as if he had defeated the Northern Xinjiang Army and captured Li Yi alive.
Cao Ren was also very happy, and said to the soldier who reported the news: "Okay, very good, the merits of the brothers, I have written it down, and I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the lord in the future!" ”
"General Xie!"
When the messenger was brought to Cao Ren, Du Ji also arrived. Cao Ren did not delay and immediately began to interrogate.
"Who are you? Where did it come from? Who wrote the letter? "Cao Ren has followed Cao Cao to raise troops since the first year of Chuping, and it has been eight years now, and there are hundreds of unjust souls under the knife, and his murderous aura is like substance. In charge of the army, on top of this layer of murderous aura, a layer of majesty was shrouded, and even Du Ji felt his heart skip a beat, and his back was cold, and the feelings of the messenger could be imagined.
"Under ...... I ......" In the blink of an eye, the man saw sweat on his forehead.
"Humph!" Cao Ren snorted angrily, the man's body trembled violently, he suddenly knelt down, and cried loudly, "General, the little one is forced, please, don't kill me, spare my life!" ”
It turned out to be this pustule!
Cao Ren and Du Yi glanced at each other and saw the same judgment in each other's eyes: Li Yi is self-defeating, and his qi is exhausted!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Cao Ren shouted coldly: "Get up and talk well." If you don't hide it, you will be spared a dog's life! ”
"Thank you, General, thank you, General! The great kindness of the general...... Please inquire general. Intimidated by Cao Ren's momentum, the messenger's gratitude was only half said.
This person is also a smart person, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he knew what Cao Ren meant. didn't wait for Cao Ren to ask again, so he answered Cao Ren's initial question honestly.
It turned out that this messenger was also the son of a powerful family in Taishan County.
"In May, the displaced people in the territory rose up, frantically harvesting the crops in the fields, and as a last resort, the county ordered the county soldiers to go out of the city to drive them away, but unexpectedly fell for Li Yi's thief's tricks and was ...... by the Northern Xinjiang Army."
These pieces of information are quite old, and Cao Ren has also guessed eight*nine and ten, but he still listens very carefully, and old information is also intelligence, maybe there are some clues hidden.
The identity of this living messenger is the best information in itself, and through this person, it is likely that Li Yi's ultimate purpose can be judged!
"Just two days ago, a staff member in Hebei interrogated Xiao ......"
"What kind of person is it?" Du Yi interjected and interrupted.
The messenger said without thinking: "It is a young man with a white feather fan, who smiles very kindly, but does things ......."
"It's Zhuge Liang!" After only half listening, Du Yi made a judgment. Among the many staff members in Hebei, there are two people who like to hold a feather fan, one is Xu Maogong, the number one staff member in Hebei, but he likes to hold a black feather fan, and Xu Maogong's age is not young. The other is Zhuge Liang, a young man who is only eighteen years old, and he likes to hold a white feather fan.
