Chapter 585: Target Xichuan (Part II)
Cao Ren's face did not change in the face of the spear that stabbed over his head, and at the moment when the spear was about to approach, Cao Ren suddenly gave way sideways, and at the same time rushed out of the big knife in his hand towards Zhang Ren, although Cao Ren did not do his best in this move, but he did not show mercy to his subordinates.
However, to Cao Ren's surprise, Zhang Ren narrowly avoided this blow.
Just when Zhang Ren was about to strike again, Jia Long shouted: "General Zhang, stop!" ”
Zhang Ren was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stop attacking.
Cao Ren glanced at Zhang Ren and said with a smile: "You are also very good!" I can't imagine that under the command of Emperor Shuzhong, there are so many fierce generals who are not known to the world! ”
At this time, Tai Shi Ci led the iron cavalry to the scene, and with Tai Shi Ci's shout, more than a thousand iron cavalry generals Jia Long, Zhang Ren and hundreds of Wudang Fei Army, surrounded by groups, the horizontal knife has been unsheathed, and Sen Han's murderous aura has been publicized, just waiting for Cao Ren's order.
"Stand down!" Cao Ren raised his voice.
Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but hesitate, but the more than 1,000 iron horsemen immediately carried out the order, lifted the encirclement and retreated behind Cao Ren.
Jia Long came to Cao Ren with his wounds, hugged his fists and said, "The old man abides by the previous agreement!" ”
Then he ordered Zhang Ren beside him: "Pass the order, and the whole army will surrender to General Cao!" ”
Zhang Ren was a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Jia Long's order, and turned around angrily to convey the order, and after a while, the remnants of nearly 7,000 Shu Han troops and hundreds of Wudang Fei troops all laid down their weapons.
Cao Ren took Jia Long and Zhang Ren to the temporary camp, and by this time, Jia Long had already retired his battle robe. The wounds on the shoulder and abdomen had been bandaged.
Cao Ren sat down on the main seat, and Cao Ren's lieutenant and Tai Shici pressed their swords on the left and right sides. Jia Long and Zhang Ren stood at the bottom of the hall. Although he was a captive, he was not bound.
Cao Ren said to Jia Long: "The old general must also have an ideal of conquering the world and expanding the territory. Why don't you serve my Majesty the Great Wei Emperor? ”
As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, Tai Shici on the side couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Cao Ren, a silent general, to be able to say such a thing.
In fact, Cao Ren himself couldn't say this, and Cao Ren had heard of words like this more than once by Cao Cao's side. Jia Long was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists at Cao Ren and said, "Thanks to the general!" However, the old man swore that he would only end up in the Han family, so he could only live up to the general's kindness! ”
Cao Ren will not persuade people, this is the first time in his life. Seeing that the other party refused, he said: "Since this is the case, then forget it!" ”
Jia Long originally wanted to recommend his lieutenant, that is, Zhang Ren, to Cao Ren, but when he saw Cao Ren say this, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
Although Jia Long was loyal to the Han family, he also knew that Cao Cao was a famous lord worthy of trust, so he hoped that his lieutenant Zhang Ren would be able to establish a meritorious service under Cao Cao.
Cao Ren said to Jia Long: "General Jia Lao and General Zhang Ren will stay in my military camp for the time being!" After a while, it will be up to Your Majesty to decide what to do with you! ”
Then he said to the soldiers beside him: "Take General Jia Lao and General Zhang Ren down." Don't be lazy! ”
The pro-soldier agreed, came to Jia Long's side and made a gesture of please, "Please!" ”
Jia Long hugged his fist at Cao Ren, and then left the big tent with Zhang Ren and his own soldiers.
After Jia Long and Zhang Ren left. Cao Ren shook his head a little disappointed, and asked the adjutant general, "Did you send a flying pigeon to Your Majesty?" ”
The adjutant clenched his fists and replied: "It has been sent!" ”
Cao Ren nodded. He ordered: "Order all armies to repair on the spot and wait for Your Majesty's order." In addition, a messenger was sent to General Mardai. Tell him what's going on here, and see what's going on there! ”
"Yes!" Tai Shici and the deputy general hugged their fists and promised.
Around noon on the same day. Cao Cao successively received the flying pigeon herald from Ma Dai and Cao Ren.
"The army of Xichuan has been destroyed, it's time to turn our attention to Chuanzhong and Hanzhong!" Cao Cao laughed.
Hu Zhao nodded and said, "If nothing else." Within half a month, our army will be able to occupy Sichuan and Hanzhong! ”
Cao Cao nodded. asked: "Where are the two armies of Xu Huang and Yu Ban now?" ”
Cao Cao looked at the terrain of Xichuan on the sand table, Xu Huang and Yu Ban, two generals, one of them was when Ma Dai led the army to attack Jingzhou, and he also led 30,000 foot soldiers into Jingzhou under Cao Cao's order, and the other was transferred by Cao Cao from the river not long ago.
Hu Zhao said: "General Xu Huang should have arrived at the border of Badong with 20,000 cavalry, and General Yu Ban should have arrived at Baima Pass with 20,000 cavalry." ”
Cao Cao glanced at the terrain of these two places and muttered, "The terrain of these two places is dangerous, and they are the throat roads into Xichuan and Hanzhong respectively, I am really a little worried!" ”
"General Xu Huang's team has Zhang Lu to lead the way, there shouldn't be any problems! And if General Yu Ban's branch can act according to the strategy of Wei Chen, there should be no variables! Hu Zhao analyzed.
Cao Cao nodded. After thinking for a while, he asked Hu Zhaodao: "Kong Ming, do you think we should immediately send a large army to follow up in order to deal with all kinds of possible variables?" ”
Hu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Now that nearly 150,000 elites under the command of General Zixiao and the three generals Ziyi and Ma Dai have freed their hands, let them immediately turn to the west!" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "I also have this intention!" Come! ”
A soldier immediately lifted the curtain and entered, clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what do you expect?" ”
"Immediately spread the word that the three generals Cao Ren, Ma Dai, and Tai Shici immediately led the army west!"
"Yes!" The soldier answered the promise and withdrew from the tent.
As many as 100,000 Shu Han prisoners entered Jingzhou Jiangling in despair under the escort of more than 10,000 Wei troops, went north along the main street of Jiangling City, and built a special camp in the suburbs of more than ten miles north of Jiangling City, the scale is very large, and the usual camp is very different, divided into two heavy inside and outside, between is the wooden patrol corridor that is up to Zhangyu, there are many camp tents on both sides of the patrol corridor, this is actually a temporary prison.
Originally, the captives did not have to pass through the city, but Cao Cao considered the need to stabilize Jingzhou, especially the betrayal of Jiangling not long ago, so he looked forward to the escort of the captives passing through the city of Jiangling.
Hearing the news, the people flocked to both sides of the street to watch, with different expressions, some disappointed, some excited, and some just showing a lively attitude.
"Father, father"
Qiao Xuan, who was writing in the study, suddenly heard the shouts of his little daughter. couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, putting down the wolf in his hand.
Xiao Qiao rushed in in a hurry, "Father, it's so lively outside!" Aren't you going to check it out? ”
Qiao Guolao, who is above history, is just a rich man Qiao Xuan who has just moved to Jiangling at this time, stood up, walked in front of Xiao Qiao, and said angrily: "Don't forget that you are a girl!" What kind of system has become so popular? (To be continued......)
