Chapter 930: Cao Cao's Motivation
(Group number: 949)
"Hey, Cao Cao enjoys half of the world, but he has been the same for decades, and he does not dare to rebel against the Han family. On the contrary, it was this thief who took the lead. Although he was only known as the King of Chu, he also called himself the Son of Heaven and changed his name to Xingba. Seriousness is sharp. ”
After being silent for a long time, Ma Teng sighed and said.
The reason for the sigh is also to envy Kou Feng's momentum, his blood is strong, and he points directly to the emperor's industry. Unlike him, his beard is white, and he only hopes to be able to sit in a state and enjoy peace.
"Father, now is not the time to think about this, but to think about how to deal with Kou. According to intelligence, he stationed 150,000 horses in Hanzhong. In addition, he pacified Meng Shu to the south. Chengdu has no worries, if it goes north, there will be no less than 200,000, and it has to be guarded against. ”
Seeing Ma Teng's distraction, Ma Chao admonished.
"It's impossible to rely on us alone, we still need the support of Han Sui and Cao Cao. Write to them immediately and tell them the news. In addition, let's step up our preparations. 100,000 elite soldiers, day and night continuous drills. Ma Teng finally came back to his senses and said in agreement.
"No." Ma Chao promised and said.
The so-called 100,000 elite soldiers is the number after streamlining. Cao Cao's harmony allowed Ma Teng and Han Sui to be safe and sound, and the reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui each reduced their armies to 100,000 people. Of these, 70,000 were cavalry and 30,000 were infantry.
The soldiers who have been cut down can also be exiled to the premises and become tuntian soldiers. to increase agricultural income.
All kinds of methods made Ma Teng and Han Sui more trusted. It also makes the Qin State rich and noble.
In fact, these methods have been discussed by everyone. After Kou Feng's news, the three parties exchanged information, shared intelligence, became allies of each other, and covered each other's advance and retreat.
It's just that Kou Feng calls himself the Son of Heaven, and the political power of this news is too strong. I couldn't help but let Ma Teng, Ma Chao and them shake.
So much so that the world shook.
Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son began to prepare their troops and horses, and planned to fight with Kou Feng. At the same time, the news quickly went to Liangzhou in the north.
Like Ma Teng, Han Sui, who received the news, coincided and chose to prepare his troops and horses like Ma Teng. However, Han Sui's advantage over Ma Teng is that Han Sui has greater prestige among the Qiang people.
You can use the Qiang horses.
But no matter what, it is super cautious to look at the matter of Kou Feng claiming to be the Son of Heaven.
…………………
Yecheng.
Originally, Yecheng existed as the capital of the Wei State, and the Wei State, as an emerging state, was about to replace the aging Han dynasty and establish a country.
As a national capital, it should also be thriving.
Nowadays, Yecheng is also very wealthy, but among the wealth, it is inevitable that there is a little bit of indisputable feeling. There is a feeling of going downhill.
Since the last time Lu Xun led his troops to break through Yecheng, this feeling has surrounded Yecheng.
One of the most important reasons for this is mistrust. As a symbol, as a city where the monarch is located, and it is still in the rear, it can be breached. Sticker bar grip dedication.
Can such a country be trusted? And it is this sense of distrust that will make Yecheng go downhill. No matter how powerful Cao Cao is and how he redeems it, he can't change this.
Duke of Wei's Mansion, in the study.
Cao Cao knelt at the top position, his posture was still so strong, his spine was still so straight, and his eyes were so sharp. But it can't change the old face and snow-white hair.
Cao Cao is a hero, a real hero. The last time Yecheng was breached, countless sons were killed and captured by the Chu army. Only a small number of sons remained.
Cao Cao was once ill, but in the end he survived tenaciously.
And there is no ambiguity in dealing with things. Strength is still the same as ever. For example, when the news of Lu Xun's attack on Liaodong came, he immediately sent envoys to Liaodong to unite with Gongsun Kang, and then sent the general Zhang Liao to lead tens of thousands of elite troops eastward to cooperate with Gongsun Kang and defend Liaodong.
prevented the possibility of Lu Xun continuing to go north.
To the west, he strengthened his care for Ma Teng and Han Sui, and took the initiative to harmonize, so that the two could truly coexist peacefully. In the west, he was able to prevent the possibility of Kou Feng's expansion to the north.
All kinds of events were well organized.
Therefore, the crane hair on his head, that is, the years, is his biggest enemy. In addition, even if Kou Feng is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with Cao Cao.
This is also Cao Cao's only worry, he is getting weaker. But Kou Feng is as good as the Japanese.
"Ming Gong, Ma Teng's urgent report."
At this moment, a small official walked in from outside, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded his head and took the bamboo slip from the hand of the little official. Immediately, I opened it and looked at it. Compared with Ma Teng's shock, Cao Cao was calm and unmatched, and he didn't even have a trace of face.
Not to mention that Kou Feng is the king, even if he is the emperor. The same will be true of Cao Cao.
has enough power and momentum, and this step is what Kou Feng should take to get to this point. Unlike him, the political burden is simply too great.
"Xingba. Naked ambition. After reading it, Cao Cao's face showed a smile instead. I don't think he's old, and I don't want to go underground so early.
Because he also has a Kou Feng by his side, what a tough character this is. Defeating such a person, he will feel extremely hearty.
"Even if you are like the sun, I will come to a houyi to shoot the sun." Cao Cao's gaze became incomparably sharp, and it seemed to contain incomparable spirit.
"Summons Jia Xu, Chen Qun come over." After a few moments, Cao Cao ordered.
"No." The little official agreed, and immediately turned around and walked out.
Immediately, Cao Cao personally picked up the pen and wrote a gorgeous chapter of more than 1,000 words. Words are like swords, full of words to crusade against Kou Feng.
To put it simply, it is to respect the king.
It is the Han family that is respected, and it is the Chu State that is respected. does not recognize the status of Kou Feng Tianzi.
Cao Cao can fight on the horse, and he can write when he gets off the horse. This moment is vividly displayed.
"Ming Gong." When Cao Cao's article was written, Chen Qun and Jia Xu also came. After entering the study, they hugged their fists together.
"Hmm. It's just right to come, how about this article by Lonely? Seeing these two henchmen, Cao Cao's face showed a little smile and greeted.
"No."
Chen Qun, Jia Xu promised when he heard this, and then got up and approached Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's article was not written on bamboo slips, but on a piece of white cloth. Therefore, the handwriting is legible. The two read it quickly.
However, there was not much admiration on the faces of the two, but their faces were full of shock. Jia Xu was okay, he just showed a little strangeness, but Chen Qun was really shocked.
Frightened, he raised his head and said, "Ming Gong, Kou Feng claims to be the Son of Heaven?" ”
"Ah, the male has rioted." Cao Cao nodded with a smile.
After obtaining the exact answer to the mystery, Chen Qun was even more shocked. He knew that he was in a very special time period. North and South, who wins and who loses.
Cities change the course of history. If history is a chapter, it is a chapter. Then Kou Feng is called the Son of Heaven, which is an era. It's like the Warring States Period, which starts with Zhao Wei Han and the three families dividing into Jin.
"I don't know what Ming Gong summoned the two of us for?" Jia Xu asked very calmly.
"In terms of the general trend, there is no need for you to discuss. Lone and Kou Feng are enemies. And now the north-south situation is also very obvious. There won't be any change. Lone just wants to ask the two of you, can you subdue Gongsun Kang? ”
Cao Cao's face didn't change at all, he just asked.
"Gongsun Kang?"
After hearing this name, Jia Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and finally nodded his head. said: "Send Zhang Xiu to announce the decree." ”
"Good. issued an edict and sent Zhang Xiu to Liaodong to read the will. Yanhou Gongsun Kang guarded Liaodong for many years, with outstanding achievements, and was specially promoted as a hussar general and conquered into the court. In addition, Zhang Liao was appointed as the general of Zhenbei and commanded an army of 100,000. Cao Cao saw Jia Xu's head and immediately ordered.
"No." Chen Qun immediately agreed and remembered it in his heart.
Why didn't Cao Cao find a way to deal with Chu in the first place after hearing that the southern Chu State was rising? That's because Cao Cao's power is no longer comparable to that of Chu.
The state of Chu occupies a favorable position again, and he is definitely asking for trouble by taking the initiative to attack. Therefore, stepping up the defense and not moving like a mountain is the real best strategy.
And Liaodong's side is the only flaw.
Although Gongsun Kang joined forces with Zhang Liao, he resisted the attack of Chu. But the result was once a prince, leading the troops outside, which was very unreassuring.
If there is a different heart, the rear is unstable.
Therefore, Zhang Liao replaced Gongsun Kang, so that the two sides combined 100,000 troops to reach the power of Chu in Liaodong. It is to cut off this worry.
With Zhang Liao guarding the north, he could free up his hands to build a defense specifically against the Chu State.
The art of war is cloudy, and offense replaces defense. But there is also a saying that defense replaces offense.
And the only thing that makes people doubt about this is whether Gongsun Kang will rebel. Therefore, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu first to have confidence in himself.
And the reason why Jia Xu is so confident that Gongsun Kang will not rebel is also very simple, because Gongsun Kang has an army of sixty or seventy thousand, but he has run out of ammunition and food, and all of them are supplied by Wei.
In addition, the morale of the military is also sluggish.
In the end, Gongsun Kang had an enmity with the Chu State. In the end, Jia Xu also came up with an idea to let Zhang Xiu go. It was because Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, but after surrendering, because of his loyalty, not only was he not killed by Cao Cao, but he also established his military exploits and was named a liege.
This move was to allow Gongsun Kang to hand over his military power with peace of mind.
After finishing this matter, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and picked up the article he had written just now, handed it to Chen Qun, and said, "Release this edict." We want to honor the king. ”
"No." Chen Qun promised again.
Immediately, Jia Xu and Chen Qun left. Cao Cao also walked out of the study and looked up to the south.
He knew that the war belonging to the north and south had begun, the Great Han, the Great Chu.
Great Chu is a country, and Great Han is an alliance with him, Ma Teng, and Han Sui. Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, after many conquests, there are only four of them left.
Maybe it will be like the Warring States, competing for hundreds of years. Maybe it's just a few years of breaking, and the winner and loser will be divided in more than ten years
