Chapter 655: Cao Cao absconded
When Qin Feng got the news that Xiahou Yuan wanted to surrender, he was taken aback.
"Are you sure Xiahou Yuan really wants to surrender? How is this possible! Qin Feng asked the prison officer who came to report.
The officer sweated and said, "My lord, it is indeed Xiahou...... General Xiahou himself said that he was going to surrender. β
Qin Feng glanced at Xu Shu and Xun You, Xiahou Yuan was like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei to Cao Cao, how could he surrender.
"Bring him to see his true appearance, but I want to see what kind of tricks this Xiahou Miaocai is playing!" Qin Feng said.
However, at this moment, the officer was sweating profusely, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
Qin Feng couldn't help but get angry and said, "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, just like a girl, or is it not a soldier of your own appearance?" β
"Ahh The officer wiped his sweat, and then said: "Lord, Xiahou Yuan said that he is the uncle of the lord, and he wants you to ...... Greet him with the gift of a junior, and he will surrender! β
"What!" Qin Feng was furious, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table, and suddenly, the air in the council hall suddenly became tense. Qin Fengxin said that the master is not one of those shrugging bags, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was a cheap relative, and he hugged the strange old man and called his father, which was a lot of pit for his father in later generations.
The officer was frightened and trembled slightly.
Xu Shu on the side swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reminded: "Lord, Xiahou's mother ......." β
"Oh!" Qin Feng woke up at this time. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahoudun are brothers, and Xiahoudun is indeed Qin Feng's father-in-law, if it is at this level, he is indeed his dear uncle.
"I'll go!" Qin Feng scolded secretly and said angrily: "You go back and sue him." Let him live in the prison for the rest of his life! "Made.
At this time, Xun You smiled and said, "The lord doesn't have to be angry. I think this Xiahou general wants some face, but he can comfort him. He will surely come out of his own. β
Xu Shu also prompted: "Lord, maybe this Xiahou general will be of great use!" β
Qin Feng was affectionate and righteous to his wife, but he had no choice but to let Dian Wei take his order arrow and invite Xiahou Yuan out.
On the other hand, Qin Feng listened to Xu Shu and Xun You's Jianyi and divided Xu Huang's department into two. Gao Ran went to get the letter Guguan, Xu Huang was the general, Fu was given the strategist to capture Wancheng, and the Wuguan of the Sanqin Fortress.
Sanqin Fortress: Hangu Pass. Wuguan, Tongguan.
These three passes, in a triangular row, are distributed in the three edges of the Weihe River Basin, and the center of the three passes is the central plain of Shaanxi Province in the later generations, which is called Guanzhong here. Sanguan is Kanto to the east and Kansai to the west.
Since ancient times, the land of Sanguan has been the richest place in the world. The state of Qin got here and resisted the offensive of the six kingdoms. Thus swept the world. After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, went out of Xichuan, he got here and resisted the offensive of the powerful Chu overlord, thus also sweeping the world.
If Qin Feng gets it. He was able to establish an impregnable defensive line to the northwest of his vast territory. At the same time, it can also spy on the cool land, and completely rule the vast land south of the Yangtze River in the future. Lay the groundwork.
At this point, the Qin army acted again. Qin Feng ordered Xu Huang and Gao Ran. If you can seize Wuguan and Hangu Pass, you will join forces to attack Tongguan. If you win Chang'an in one go, it will be perfect!
And he himself, led an army of 70,000 to Xuchang City in Yingchuan County, which was Cao Cao's base camp. The Qin army did not have too many soldiers and horses in his own array, so he ordered the 70,000 men of Zhang Liao's department to come and converge.
For Cao Cao, the shape shì has reached the last moment.
β¦β¦
On the other hand.
Qin Feng occupied Tiger Prison and Luoyang. LΓΌ Qian, Liang Xi and others were killed in battle, and the news of Xiahou Yuan's uncertain life and death spread to Xuchang City.
Xuchang Cao Cao's mansion.
"Damn!" Cao Cao shook the case a few times, and the attendants around him trembled, and there was no porcelain in the room, which made Cao Cao fall.
Si Li is gone, and Cao Cao is left with only Yuzhou, Wancheng and Chang'an.
And Wancheng is within the scope of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei does not fight for it for fear of angering Qin Feng. Liu Bei currently needs the most time to consolidate his position in Jingzhou. If Qin Feng is provoked, the Qin army comes to Jingzhou in advance, and Liu Bei does not have a certain strength, Zhuge Liang's plan to divide the world into three parts will be much more difficult.
Therefore, Liu Bei guarded the door externally, and wooed the Jingzhou scholars internally to restore his own prestige. After a few years like this, when Qin Feng's army went south, he had enough face to complete the strategy that Zhuge Liang had laid down a long time ago.
And Cao Cao's Yuzhou was surrounded on all sides, and he no longer had any strategic space.
"My lord......." Guo Jia was a little haggard, just because Qin Feng's speed of occupying Tiger Prison and Luoyang was too fast, so fast that this ghost talent military master had no time to react. In the face of such a cunning, stable, and much stronger opponent than himself, even Guo Jia has nothing to do.
He said: "The Qin army in Luoyang is divided into three routes, if it is expected to be good, two of them are to take Wuguan and Hangu Pass. β
Cao Cao took a deep breath to make himself look more energetic, and said, "Fengxiao, what should I do?" β
"What to do." Guo Jia subconsciously repeated this sentence, facing a behemoth-like opponent who already owned the land of Seven States, even if Sun Wu was resurrected, I am afraid there would be no way. Guo Jia really wanted to tell Cao Cao that the reason why the Qi State, which had been under seventy cities in the past, was able to restore the country was because the coalition forces of the various countries were not subordinate to each other, and Le Yi, the only one who could suppress the scene, was replaced by the idiot King Yan.
And today's Qinfeng Group, the internal unity of the world is unparalleled. It seems that all the loyal and righteous people in the world have run to Qin Feng's hands, which is really incredible.
At this time, Cao Cao thought of a thing with Guo Jia, and he said in his heart: "Qin Zijin is the biggest liar in the world, he has those talented people in his hands, if this general also has so many capable people to help, there will be no such end." β
"Why is Qin Zijin always able to find talents in the corners?" Cao Cao was puzzled in the end.
However, this is Qin Feng's huge advantage, he doesn't need to see it at all, just by looking at the name, he will know who is talented and who is loyal. Loyal and talented will naturally stay, and they will not kill if they are insidious, and it is good to keep them to harm others.
"Lord, let's go to Chang'an......." Guo Jia reproposed to go to Chang'an, "to return to Chang'an before the Qin army took Hangu and Wuguan, and to use Tongguan to occupy the Qin army and Guanxi." and then unite with Lu Bu, so as to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to ....... β
This time Cao Cao did not refuse, he acted secretly, it was impossible for him to go to Chang'an with a huge army, that would only be chased by Qin Feng and besieged.
Therefore, it is better to stay in Xuchang and consume Qin Feng's troops with the strength of the city. In this way, after he goes to Chang'an, the pressure he will face will be much less. He transferred back Xiahoudun from Runan and only concentrated all his forces to defend Xuchang. It would be great if Xuchang could be nailed like a nail in Qin Feng's forces for several years.
In this way, Cao Cao took Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houen and others, took the clansmen of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and rode with three thousand tigers and leopards, looking at Chang'an at the fastest speed.
Only Xiahoudun was left alone in Xuchang, one of the best cities in the Central Plains, and he gathered 100,000 troops under his command, and his strength was there. However, Cao's army was defeated in successive battles, and there was a shortage of food and grass, and the morale was unbelievably low, and it was almost on the verge of collapse.
Xuchang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, it turned out that in Cao Cao's position, Xiahoudun sat expressionlessly.
Chen Jiao escaped from Luoyang and now acts as a strategist, assisting Xiahoudun in defending the city. And Du Xian, as a deputy in the army, helped Xiahoudun to lead the army.
"General, the only purpose of our army in Xuchang now is to consume the strength of the Qin army as much as possible, and to buy time for the re-emergence of the Lord in Guanxi." Chen Jiao said with a pale face.
Xiahoudun looked cold, nodded, and said, "Our army is short of food and grass, and morale is low, how can we hold on?" β
Chen Jiao sighed, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and said: "My lord has been running Xuchang for many years, and there are many large households, and now these people are all in the city. They can contribute their family property to the military. β
Du Xun said on the side: "Lord Chen, those rich people are very stingy, this is unlikely, right? β
Chen Jiao sneered: "Then it depends on whether the weapon in General Du's hand is sharp!" β
"Ahh Du Xun was stunned.
"That's it!" Xiahoudun took the case and said: "For the great cause of the lord, these rich people should make sacrifices. The order was sent down, and the whole city confiscated the military ....... β
As a result, the 100,000 Cao troops in Xuchang City took action, and the robbers generally began to rush the city and shout. For a time, the city was full of mournful cries, and it was endless for three or five days.
In Xuchang City, almost all homes were looted. Xiahoudun supplemented the army with the food, and the money was divided equally among all the soldiers.
The wealth of Xuchang City is only under the Yedu. The wealth is staggering.
Cao Jun's soldiers became rich one by one, but only by surviving could they keep their wealth and enjoy it. Therefore, the morale of the Cao army skyrocketed, and everyone was gearing up, so that after the defeat of the Qin army, they could enjoy the glory and wealth of their lives leisurely.
The city of Xuchang fell into the White Terror, and the people rose up, but they were bloodily suppressed by Cao's army. The people who survived could only endure humiliation and steal their lives. However, without food, in order to survive, the incident of Yizi eating may happen soon.
They had never hoped that the Qin army would arrive as soon as possible, and only the benevolent and righteous Prime Minister could save them from fire and water.
Under such circumstances, Qin Feng led an army of 140,000 to Xuchang.
In the following three days, soldiers and horses supported by Qingzhou, Gunzhou, Xuzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou arrived one after another with sufficient grain and grass supported by the people from all over the country.
Why did the people support Qin Feng, because the people knew that only if Qin Feng won the final victory, their happy life could continue. In this final battle, the people everywhere also exerted their greatest strength to support their teams.
In this final battle, Qin Feng mobilized an army of 300,000 in Xuchang City.
This is the last battle of the decisive battle in the Central Plains, and Qin Feng's hegemony will be launched because of this! (To be continued......)
