Chapter 644: Stealing Half a Day of Leisure (2)
Cao Cao immediately summoned Tian Feng and showed Tian Feng Zhao Yun's biography, and Cao Cao said happily: "I didn't expect to win the Shanghai-Tianjin Pass so smoothly!" With Shanghai and Tianjin in hand, our army can bypass the front of the Yangtze River and avoid the naval army of Wu State! ”
Tian Feng nodded happily, but then frowned and said, "Having said that, our army can't rely on the Hujin Pass to take military action against Jiangdong in a short period of time!" ”
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Yuan Hao is worried about the barbarian problem?" ”
"Exactly! Although the barbarian forces suffered heavy losses under the blows of our army, but most of Nanzhong and Jiaozhou were almost covered by the barbarian forces, if we can't properly solve the problem of the barbarians, I am afraid that our army will fall into an endless battle with the barbarians before engaging the army of Wu! ”
Cao Cao realized the seriousness of the problem and asked, "Why don't you transfer the First Army back to Yizhou?" ”
Tian Feng shook his head and said, "No! If the First Army is transferred out of Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will give Wu another opportunity! And it may deepen the barbarians' wariness of us! ”
Cao Cao frowned: "Yuan Hao means to use means of appeasement?" ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the story of Zhuge Liang's capture of Meng Shu in the TV series in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel that it was really troublesome to do so.
Tian Feng nodded and said, "The barbarians have already learned the might of our army in the previous two wars!" Now is the time to appease the barbarian tribes with Huairou means! ”
Cao Cao nodded and motioned for Tian Feng to continue.
Tian Feng continued: "First of all, we should put the vulture bone and his men and horses back, and then send envoys to the various barbarian tribes! ”
Cao Cao nodded, frowned again, and said, "I'm afraid that there won't be too many tribes that will surrender immediately!" ”
Tian Feng arched his hand with admiration and said, "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Then he analyzed: "We must make the barbarians completely subordinate to us." We must also be served by people of high prestige among the barbarians! ”
Cao Cao's brows relaxed: "Are you talking about Meng Huo?" ”
Tian Feng smiled meaningfully: "Meng Huo is just one of them, in fact, there is another person who has more influence than Meng Huo among the barbarians!" ”
"Who?"
Tian Feng glanced at Cao Cao and said, "This person is in this palace!" ”
Cao Cao suddenly said, "Are you talking about Mrs. Zhurong?!" ”
Tian Feng nodded. "Exactly! The barbarians worship the god of fire, and Lady Zhurong is the leader of the Zhurong clan among the barbarians. Its influence among the barbarians speaks for itself! ”
Cao Cao suddenly thought of some other things, squinted at Tian Feng and said, "Just now, I saw Mrs. Zhurong and Meng Huo fighting, I think there will be no Yuan Hao's credit in this!" ”
Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and said without hesitation: "Weichen did play some role in it!" ”
"Forget it! But I don't want a second time!
Tian Feng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "Weichen understands!" Wechen will never dare to act without permission again! ”
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said to Tian Feng: "Let Mrs. Zhurong go!" ”
Tian Feng understood what Cao Cao meant, and promised loudly. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Your Majesty has not seen Mrs. Zhurong?" ”
"What should I say, you go and talk to Mrs. Zhurong! I still don't see her! Cao Cao frowned slightly.
Tian Feng promised, saluted Cao Cao, and withdrew from Jianzhang Palace.
After Tian Feng left, Cao Cao was stunned for a while, his fingers tapping, not knowing what he was thinking, after a while. Cao Cao left Jianzhang Palace, beckoned Dian Wei over, and instructed: "Order people to prepare horses, I want to go to the military camp outside the city to have a look!"
Dian Wei was stunned. Then came the spirit, clenched his fists and promised.
Cao Cao left the palace and came to the military camp located south of the city, surrounded by more than 100 Imperial Forest soldiers and Dian Wei.
Then. The soldiers were preparing to eat dinner, and Cao Cao's arrival made the entire military camp boil.
Night. Cao Cao sat in the barracks by the fire and gossiped with the soldiers until late at night. This kind of behavior is actually unseemly according to traditional etiquette, but Cao Cao didn't care about this, the soldiers surrounded Cao Cao, and no one wanted to leave.
The next morning, Cao Cao got up early, and when he walked out of the big tent, he saw Dian Wei, Ma Chao and a group of generals already waiting outside the big tent, Cao Cao did not return to the palace last night, but spent the night in the barracks.
"Meet Your Majesty!" Dian Wei and Ma Chao led a group of generals to worship together.
Cao Cao smiled: "Generals, you don't have to be polite!" ”
The generals stood up and stood respectfully.
Cao Cao said to Wu Yi: "General Hao, you immediately lead your soldiers to Shanghai-Tianjin Pass!" ”
Cao Cao was a little worried about Zhao Yun, because Zhao Yun only had 30,000 foot soldiers in his hands, and he was surrounded by barbarians who were friends and foes.
"No!" Wu Yi clenched his fists and promised, showing hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Cao Cao asked with a smile: "General Hao has something to say. ”
Wu Yi immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty"
Glancing at the colleagues around her, she lowered her voice and continued: "Little sister wants to meet His Majesty. ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Sister Ling is probably anxious to read the classics of the palace!" ”
Wu Yi smiled a little embarrassedly, "Let Your Majesty see you laugh!" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "This is a trivial matter. In this case, I wrote an edict and handed it to Ling Mei, and then sent someone to send her to the literary academy. ”
The Academy of Literature was not an administrative body, but was responsible for collecting and sorting out the classics for the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Yi hurriedly thanked him.
Cao Cao glanced at the generals, and his gaze stopped at Ma Chao's body: "Meng Qi." ”
"Your Majesty."
"The matter of the military camp in this city, you have to worry more!"
Ma Chao patted his chest: "Your Majesty, don't worry!" No one dares to be lazy under the hands of the last general! ”
Cao Cao smiled: "Don't be too thirsty, pay attention to let the soldiers rest!" ”
"No!"
Cao Cao left the barracks, and headed towards the capital under the protection of Dian Wei and the Imperial Forest Army, on the way, Cao Cao found that Dian Wei was very unstoppable, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Dian Wei, did you eat a bad stomach last night?" ”
Dian Wei shook his head and replied honestly: "The last general just feels that he can't keep up his spirits after leaving the barracks!" ”
Cao Cao didn't feel strange when he boarded, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be discouraged! You're going to have a chance to go to war! ”
Dian Wei's tiger eyes lit up, and he came to his senses, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the last general will lead the army to fight alone!" ”
Cao Cao laughed, shook his head and said, "No!" You've never led the army alone!
Dian Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then nodded happily: "As long as I can go to the battlefield!" ”
As soon as the group entered the palace of the city, they met Tian Feng who was hurriedly walking out.
"Yuan Hao, why are you in such a hurry?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Tian Feng's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Cao Cao, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Weichen was looking for you everywhere just now!" ”
Cao Cao frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
"Wechen was ordered by His Majesty early this morning to tell Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong their will respectively, Meng Huo still seems to be full of hostility, and Mrs. Zhu Rong is" (To be continued.) )
