Chapter 480: Soldiers send to Nanyang
I don't know if it's a coincidence or something in the dark, except for Cao Cao's wife who was above the original history, Mrs. Bian gave birth to a child, and the rest, like Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Mihuan, gave birth to girls, but fortunately, Cao Cao at this time is no longer like at the beginning, so entangled.
After all, according to the concept of Chinese people, what is connected and recognized with each other will always come from the bloodline, whether it is Cao Ang or Cao Pi, not to mention that they themselves are Cao Cao's descendants, Cao Cao's blood flows in their bodies, just after such a long time, Cao Cao has really treated them as children, after all, people's feelings are not getting along.
Cao Cao was only disappointed for a moment when Cai Yan and the others were not in the boys, and then there was no other reaction, which also made Mihuan, who was originally a little nervous in his heart, Cai Yan and the others feel a lot better.
Just when Cao Cao and his wife and concubine were exchanging feelings with each other, on the other side, Guo Jia was walking with Cao Ang, facing dinner, Guo Jia, who did not hold a wine jug in his hand for the first time, looked sideways at Cao Ang who was walking beside him, as if he was smiling and asking solemnly: "In this way, you have already decided, don't you regret it?" ”
Cao Ang smiled, not the kind of prodigal and cynical smile in front of Cao Cao, but at the earliest, that kind of warm, gentle and elegant smile said: "Of course not, as an elder brother, isn't it to protect and achieve his brother's wishes, Ziheng's mind I understand, compared to me, that position to Ziheng, maybe greater, because he worships his father." If I inherit that position, I can make a result. It's definitely a lot better than my brother, and I'm still like my husband. It's good to be a cynical prince of peace. ”
Cao Ang did not accept Cao Cao to make himself the crown prince, except because he didn't want to take on this position that seemed to be supreme, but in fact he was burdened with a bunch of responsibilities, and more importantly, Cao Ang saw Cao Pi's mind clearly.
Maybe even Cao Pi himself didn't find out that his worship of Cao Cao was derived from the desire for that position, maybe in his heart, if he also sat in that position. Then he will be closer to his father, and he will be able to become a person like Cao Cao.
Cao Pi didn't find it, but Cao Ang found out, if he was someone else, he might struggle and even have some dark thoughts, but Cao Ang didn't, after discovering the thought in Cao Pi's heart, he directly gave this position to Cao Pi, and he would rather be a prince of peace.
Cao Ang is indeed a good brother. But it was also because of this that Guo Jia finally gave up on him completely, and sighed secretly in his heart, as an emperor. Cao Ang's character is indeed undesirable, but if it is as a prince. Cao Ang's character is desirable, perhaps for Cao Ang. A prince of peace is his best ending.
Guo Jia had these things in mind. There is no trace of it on his face, but if you look closely, you can find that the smile on Guo Jia's face has become more real and soft.
Cao Ang may not understand very well, it is because of his initiative to retreat that Dawei has one less power struggle, so that Dawei's chance of civil strife is completely gone, which is the most important thing for Guo Jia, for Dawei, Guo Jia's Cao Cao, and his feelings for Dawei are not bad at all.
And for Cao Ang, looking at the gradually setting sun, the smile on his face seemed more gentle and cheerful, and he never regretted his decision to give up the position of prince, not before, not now, and not in the future!
Every man had his own thoughts on this night.
On the second day, Cao Cao's order to drive the imperial expedition spread throughout the court, and the candidate for the prison was already Cao Ang, which made most of the courtiers have their own thoughts in their hearts, but it is destined that their thoughts are empty.
However, there are only four generals accompanying Cao Cao on this expedition, but there are only four people in total, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Tai Shici and Guo Jia, and of course there is also a Cai Mao, Cao Cao has not forgotten what is the other goal of this expedition to Jingzhou!
As for the army led by Cao Cao on this expedition, there was no change, and there were only 50,000 nomadic soldiers and 20,000 Wei soldiers, a total of 70,000 troops.
Through the straight road that began to be built in the Central Plains within two years, Cao Cao's army of 70,000 arrived at Nanyang and joined Cao Ren, the general who guarded Nanyang, after a few days.
After the convergence, Cao Cao also got the news of the battle situation in front of Nanyang from Cao Ren's mouth!
In general, everything is still under the control of Wei, although Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness is not low, but it is not as good as in the romance, you can call the wind and rain or something, the 70,000 Jinghan army in the north was blocked by Cao Ren from Nanyang!
During this period, Zhuge Liang didn't think about tricking Cao Ren out of the city, but unfortunately, Cao Ren was like eating a scale, no matter what Zhuge Liang was, he just couldn't leave the city and firmly guarded Nanyang, which also made Zhuge Liang helpless.
Of course, this is also the reason why Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to guard Nanyang, the impulse in Cao Ren's character was exhausted as early as that defeat, and over the years, it has become more and more stable and calm, such a character is not easy to achieve a big victory, but it will not be defeated either, just like this time, if you change to other generals, it is very likely that you will fall into Zhuge Liang's plan and lose Nanyang.
However, although Nanyang was defended, the whole territory of Shangyong fell, but it doesn't matter, Shangyong itself is not a heavy city, a prosperous place, and the whole territory has fallen or something, compared to Nanyang, it is quite acceptable.
Just when Cao Cao led the army into Nanyang, the Jinghan camp on the other side also received the news, a white-bearded veteran, said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, the news is confirmed, Cao Cao personally led an army of 70,000 to come, including 20,000 foot soldiers and 50,000 nomadic cavalry of the northern grasslands. ”
"Fifty thousand nomadic cavalry, is the strength of the Wei State already so strong, recruiting foreign barbarians to serve, this is something that only happened during the period of Emperor Wu, Han Sheng, are you really wrong about your true appearance, is the Great Han really powerless?"
The person who was called the Han Dynasty by Zhuge Liang was really Huang Zhong who Cao Cao wanted to recruit but did not succeed in recruiting in the past, looking at Zhuge Liang, who was not yet twenty years old, but already had a gray hair on his head, he was not very comfortable in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "The prime minister is too worried, my Han Dynasty has been orthodox for four hundred years, how can it be destroyed in this day."
