Chapter 142: Sacrifice to the Heavens
ps: Now I will present a chapter, and there will be another chapter in the evening!
"See the lord!" As soon as Cao Cao entered, Guo Jia and the others in the room saw it, so they got up from their seats and saluted Cao Cao.
"Well, what are you all here with today, is it that you have already discussed the goal of our army's attack this time?"
Among the ministers, Jia Xu glanced at Cao Cao, who had already achieved the main position at this time, coughed slightly, stood up and bowed to him: "Back to the lord, we have indeed discussed the target of this attack, that place is Xuzhou!" โ
"Xuzhou? Well, yes, Xuzhou people are outstanding, but also extremely rich, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, a dying old man, the Danyang soldiers under his command, but also in the internal friction in the combat power almost lost, capture Xuzhou, not only will not have much loss, but also seize a large number of financial money and grain, good. โ
Xuzhou Danyang soldiers, this elite army of the world, with Tao Qian's aging, the open and secret battles of the martial arts, this elite army, because of this, the combat effectiveness gradually declined, until it became nothing, in Chinese history, like the Danyang soldiers, because of internal fighting, and become a situation of no combat effectiveness of the army, it can be said that it is not uncommon.
"The lord is wise, the rich land of the Central Plains, nothing more than Yan, Henan, Xu Sanzhou, although Yuan Shu is incompetent, but an army of 100,000 people under the command of Ji Ling is still quite combative, not to mention, once Yuzhou is captured, it will be directly faced with pressure from Hanzhong, Jingzhou and even Jiangdong, at this time, some gains outweigh the losses, Xuzhou is different, Xuzhou has been peaceful for a long time, the combat power of the army, declining day by day, not to mention, after capturing Xuzhou, what needs to be faced is only Kong Rong in the North Sea, and Kong Rong is ยทยทยทยทยทยท people"
Chen Gong smiled and didn't speak, but everyone present knew what his unfinished words meant, Kong Rong may be very good as a great Confucian, but it is impossible for him to lead troops to fight and dominate the world.
After Chen Gong finished speaking and retreated, Xun Yu stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Not only that, according to the news from Jinyiwei, in March this year, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Soldiers have been greatly developed, claiming to have millions of people, under the leadership of its leader Guan Hai, led the troops to besiege Beihai, the capital of Beihai County, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong was invincible, escaped from Beihai, Beihai County fell, and now, this wave of Yellow Turban Army has spread to Xuzhou and even Yanzhou and other placesAt this time, the lord should have ordered in the name of the Son of Heaven to lead the army to Xuzhou and Qingzhou to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou. โ
The change of history is once again reflected here, because Cao Cao simply defeated Yu Poison and others at the beginning, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which should have affected Yanzhou, was still between Beihai County and Xuzhou at this time, and only a small part entered Yanzhou.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, that is, the predecessor of the Qingzhou soldiers above history, Cao Cao above history, has greatly developed in strength, and has truly become a prince with great potential, because he harvested the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, a total of 300,000 young and strong, millions of men, women and children, it can be seen that this Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion is very important to Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao's strength at this time is not weaker than Cao Cao above history, but stronger than Cao Cao, Cao Cao does not mind making his strength stronger, and Xun Yu and others discussed the false Dao strategy of defeating the enemy, Cao Cao accepted it without hesitation.
"Okay, since that's the case, I will immediately attack to meet the Son of Heaven, and ask him to issue a holy decree to let Cao lead the army into Qing and Xu Erzhou, and quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the two states!"
If it was just an ordinary attack on Xuzhou or Qingzhou, Cao Cao would probably not go out in person at this time, but this time Cao Cao would not let the other generals under his command go out alone anyway, just because, once the Qingzhou Yellow Turban finally surrendered along the way above history, then as the main general this time, his prestige is very likely to overwhelm himself, once the reputation of his subordinates overpowers the lord, then what will happen, it is self-evident.
At noon, Cao Cao entered the palace to meet Emperor Han Xian, and after telling him about the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou, it was easy to get the edict issued by Emperor Han Xian to beg for thieves, and the edict clearly stated that Cao Cao was required to lead the army into Qing and Xu Erzhou to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In the palace of Yanzhou Chendu and the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao's subordinates gathered, and Cao Cao, who was at the top, looked at the military generals who were issued, and said: "Zilong and Jun Yi listen to the order, I order you two to be the main and deputy vanguards, and the army will be 20,000 and take the lead!" โ
"Whoa!"
After Zhao Yun and Zhang He retreated, Cao Cao continued: "Zixiao obeys orders, with you in charge of the army, Yuan Rang His Palace, and I will lead 100,000 troops with me to Xuzhou!" โ
"Whoa!" Cao Ren and Xiahou came out of the ranks, and after saluting Cao Cao, they immediately retreated and reorganized their military horses.
After the military general's affairs were completed, Cao Cao set his eyes on Wenchen's side and said: "Fengxiao, Zijing, Gonghe, Wenhe, you and the other four will go to Xuzhou with me!" โ
"Obedience!"
After the order was completed, Cao Cao led the generals and strategists who went out this time to enter the palace to meet Emperor Han Xian, and to give him a speech, and at the same time sacrifice to the heavens.
At the great ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, the drums resounded in the sky, 100,000 black-armored Cao soldiers, holding spears, standing murderously below, the highest place of the sacrifice to the sky, wearing a dragon robe, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Han Xian, turned around, looked at Cao Cao who walked in with civil and military forces, and said: "Aiqing, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past has made the lives of the world miserable, and the people are wailing. Holding the Jieyue, carrying the emperor's order, holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, supervising the military and political affairs of the two states with full authority, and being responsible for the affairs of the thieves! โ
Cao Cao raised his head, looked at Emperor Han Xian above for a moment, walked slowly up, and walked to the highest place of the place of worship, Cao Cao stretched out his hand, took the sword of the Son of Heaven in the hands of Emperor Han Xian with both hands, bowed his head and said to him: "The ministers are ordered, and they are bound to pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion!" โ
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao no longer cared about Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, turned around to face the 100,000 Cao soldiers below, as well as those hundred officials, pressed the hilt of the Son of Heaven Sword with his right hand, and with a sword sound, under the illumination of the sun, the Sword of the Son of Heaven, which reflected the dazzling light, was held high above Cao Cao's head.
"Victory! Win! Win! โ
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! โ
Sacrifice to heaven and earth, 100,000 soldiers got up and shouted, its sound shook the sky, shook the earth, hundreds of officials knelt down, soldiers shouted long live the voice, Cao Cao at this moment, seems to replace Emperor Han Xian, it seems that he is the real emperor, the Son of Heaven!
