Chapter 1002: The momentum is monstrous
Zhang Fei occupied the Tiger Prison Pass, further attacked Rongyang, and then Xu Shu divided his troops into Wei Yan, and Li Yanjin occupied Zhongmu and Changshe.
The army of Chu can be said to have formed a situation of looking at each other, coupled with the arrival of Zhang Fei, it means that in the northwest, Cao Hong's army was defeated.
This made the momentum of the Chu State reach its peak all of a sudden.
There were four countries in the world, but now Kou Feng destroyed the tiger and leopard rider in the northwest, Cao Hong, and Ma Teng, and Han Sui was finished. And today, Kou Feng occupies most of it, and the power is strong.
Although Cao Wei is also known as half of the country, his power is weak.
Even those ordinary people can see that this world is going to belong to Chu. Therefore, before the news reached Xudu, some counties before Xudu began to surrender.
Among them, Chen Liujun guarded Wu Lan and surrendered to Chen Liujun.
After Zhang Fei and Xu Shu received the news, they turned Rongyang's 3,000 troops and Zhongmu Li Yan's army, a total of 8,000 people, and then stationed them in Chenliu.
All of a sudden, most of Yuzhou also entered the hands of the Chu State.
When the news came, Cao Cao was still playing with Jia Xu and Xun in the study.
"What?" When Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly, the entire chessboard was dyed red.
"Ming Gong." Xun Or and Jia Xu were both shocked, and immediately stepped forward to help Cao Cao.
"Order to block the news, Wei State can't be chaotic." After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Cao Cao showed a strong vitality and did not fall down immediately, but ordered.
"No." The little official who came in and reported it immediately went down to deal with it.
"Wen Ruo, you go to stabilize the morale of the army." Immediately, Cao Cao turned his head to Xun Or and said.
"No." Xun Or promised to hand over Cao Cao to Jia Xu, and he went down to do things himself.
So far, only Cao Cao and Jia Xu are left in the study. Cao Cao let out a miserable laugh and said: "Zilian also went alone first, this destiny is not lonely." ”
Destiny is not alone.
Cao Cao could only let out such a scream, he had been rampant in the world for half his life, and how many princes had been swept away. In the end, he was no match for Kou Feng.
The princes who swept up before really made wedding dresses for the Chu State.
Knowing this moment, Cao Cao was completely desperate. At the last moment, he was still looking forward to the world's number one tiger and leopard riding being able to bring him a little good news, and he didn't want to become a stepping stone for the Chu State.
Although, Cao Cao has already ordered the blockade of news to stabilize the morale of the army as much as possible. But he knows that this is only a palliative treatment.
The army was defeated again, Yongliang to the west of Xudu, and half of Yuzhou fell into the hands of Chu, and the world returned to Chu, which was the trend of the times.
Chen Liutai, Wu Lan is just one of them, and more wall grasses will start to act. Wei State, it's going to be messy.
Now his side Xun or although he has wisdom, but he is better at governing the country, the real strategic expert is Jia Xu, he put his last hope on Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, what should I do?" Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Jia Xu expectantly and said.
"There are no allies in it, and it is difficult to support it alone. The only way to do this is to seek foreign help. Jia Xu was silent for a long time and said.
"Foreign aid?" Cao Cao also hesitated.
"Xiongnu, Xianbei."
Jia Xu hesitated for a long time before saying the two names.
Xiongnu, Xianbei. This is real foreign aid. When Cao Cao was young, he had a dream, that is, to be a Wei Qing, and Huo Quai] to conquer foreigners.
He really didn't want to lure outsiders in.
So hesitate. However, it is a time of life and death, if it fails, there will be no hegemony. Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and said, "Send someone to the Xiongnu." Forget about Xianbei. ”
"No." Jia Xu's eyes flashed, he breathed a sigh of relief, said yes, turned around and walked out.
The Xiongnu, who now live in the Hetao area, have about 300,000 troops, and there are about 80,000 cavalry. It's much weaker than their ancestors.
Cao Cao also valued this point when he introduced the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu were weak and easy to control, and would not cause any major turmoil.
The Xianbei replaced the previous Xiongnu status and dominated the grassland] A strong tribe with hundreds of thousands of troops. If Xianbei is introduced into the Central Plains, it is estimated that the Han people will be destroyed.
Led the Huns in, and abandoned Xianbei. This is Cao Cao's psychological bottom line. Jia Xu was also worried that that kind of thing would happen, so when Cao Cao didn't order to send people to Xianbei, he was also relieved.
"Xun Yan is still breathing, I don't know if I can hold on."
After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said.
Just like Cao Cao thought, Xun Yan was just breathless.
The news could not be blocked, and in the short time that the news spread, there were constantly county orders, big clans, and powerful troops to resist Cao Wei's rule.
Although Cao Cao has eliminated countless princes over the years, he has also formed a lot of grievances. Yuan Shao has Yuan Shao's supporters, Yuan Shu has Yuan Shu's supporters, and even Lu Bu has it.
These forces were under the rule of Cao Cao, and they were all extensive.
And today, it is the trend of the times. All of a sudden, it reappeared. Although Cao Weizhong, there are still some loyal civil and military forces who insist on stabilizing the situation
However, there was an offensive of Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, and Lu Xun outside, and there were flames all over the inside, and countless people rebelled.
If there is no miracle, all Cao Wei can do is Xun Yan's breath.
Northwest.
The 100,000-strong army headed northwest, passed through Qinchuan, and finally reached Jincheng.
After Kou Feng defeated Cao Hong and Ma Teng, there was no need for defenders in the Qinchuan area. Under Kou Feng's orders, Fa Zheng summoned Wu Yi, who was stationed in Qinchuan, and gathered the army in Jincheng.
Fa Zheng's northern expedition originally had 55,000 foot soldiers, and he fought with Han Sui, losing 5,000, and there were 50,000 left. Among them, 20,000 went to Xiliang with Zhao Yun.
The remaining 30,000 troops, in these days, from the rear of Jingzhou, Yizhou successively replenished 50,000 troops. Therefore, before Kou Feng came, there were 80,000 troops in Jincheng.
Coupled with the entry of Kou Feng's 100,000 army, there are enough 180,000 troops. Although they are all foot soldiers, and some of them are surrenders, and some of them are recruits.
But 180,000 words is enough to attract people.
After a terrible battle, there were still 180,000 troops, of which 50,000 were replenished from the rear. This fully reflects the amazing potential of the Chu State.
At this moment, Kou Feng led Pang Tong, and Ma Teng went into the city to see Fa Zheng. Leaving Pang De, Yan Xing, Ma Chao, Kou Shui and other four people stationed outside the city.
Yan Xing and Ma Chao led their own soldiers to patrol the city and walked for a long time. Yan Xing sighed and said, "I thought that after stopping the Northern Expedition of the Son of Heaven, we would be able to get a moment of development opportunity. Now it seems that it is a little ridiculous. At this moment, Chu State quickly replenished 50,000 people, and his follow-up ability was too strong. Even if there is a loss of 200,000 troops this time, in just one year, there may be another 200,000, or even 400,000 troops. This is all because our population is small and we don't know how to govern. ”
"In troubled times, people-oriented, we are indeed too arrogant." Ma Chao nodded and said thoughtfully.
"It's okay, it's not too late. We survived that war, and we should be glad that we are still standing here to serve the Son of Heaven. For example, Cao Hong, who was stabbed to death by the Son of Heaven himself, is really late. Yan Xing exhaled and said.
"Indeed, the Son of Heaven is magnanimous and has given us the opportunity to serve again. If you only be a noble prince, you don't know how to live the rest of your life. Ma Chao nodded again and said.
Sigh. They surrendered, thinking they would be able to gain benefits. For example, come to a thousand households, and give some rewards. It's good to be a noble prince in the second half of your life. I didn't expect that I could still lead the troops.
"I don't know, what is Meng Qixin's goal?" Yan Xing asked.
"General Xianhan, Wei Qing, Huo Quai." Ma Chao replied with a smile.
"Hahaha. Good. Yan Xing laughed and applauded.
Jincheng, inside the Taishou Mansion Hall.
Kou Feng sat on the throne, and now that he is the Son of Heaven, the position where he sits will automatically be upgraded to the throne.
Below them are Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Ma Teng, and Wu Yi.
Just now, under Kou Feng's introduction, Ma Teng, Fa Zheng, and Wu Yi met each other. At this moment, Fa Zheng raised his fist and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning the state and county, and getting the general." ”
At this moment, Fazheng's enthusiasm is also very high. The world is basically gone, and the ultimate goal of these people has been accomplished.
"Filial piety is too good, the old decay is already gray, how dare you call it a general." Ma Teng hurriedly said modestly.
"The old general is too humble, there is a saying that old people should be stronger." Kou Feng said with a smile.
"Hehehe." Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, and Wu Yi all smiled, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
After laughing, Kou Feng's face turned solemn and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about business." ”
Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Ma Teng, Wu Yi and others immediately became serious when they heard this, and they also straightened their postures.
"Now there are 180,000 foot soldiers in the city, and Gu is still very confident in dealing with the Qiang people. I just don't know, what's the situation on Wuwei's side? ”
Kou Feng asked the right way.
"Since these days, the Qiang people have sometimes attacked Wuwei, and sometimes they have rested. There are probably 150,000 troops left. As for the situation in the city, because of the siege of the Qiang army, it could not be heard. But according to the general's guess, the Ma Bu army that Zilong can still use should be between forty and fifty thousand. Fa Zheng replied immediately.
I knew all about these Fa Zheng in my mind, so I reacted very quickly.
"In this way, we have an army of twenty-twenty thousand, of which there are forty or fifty thousand cavalry. Not bad, not bad. Kou Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again.
The forty or fifty thousand cavalry was half cut off by Kou Feng according to Zhao Yun's army and the Xiliang cavalry left by Ma Chao.
About forty or fifty thousand cavalry, 180,000 foot soldiers. An army of 220,000 in total, facing the 150,000 cavalry of the Qiang people, may not be able to win a big victory, and it is estimated that the best result is to expel them.
But if the 220,000 horse infantry army, coupled with intrigues and tricks, exterminate the Qiang people, Kou Feng will have confidence
