Chapter 701: Prelude to the Final Battle
A scout hurried back to Singh and reported: "General, the five thousand horsemen of the Wei army have already camped at the foot of the mountain!" ”
Singh frowned, "It seems that the Han people want to kill us all!" ”
Several of the generals beside him looked depressed.
Singh pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let all the scouts find other paths!" ”
If it was before, Singh would have led his 20,000 horses down the mountain without hesitation, but now he didn't dare, because he thought that the 20,000 soldiers under his command were no match for the other party's 5,000 horsemen!
Singh couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "I didn't expect that I, Singh, would fall into this step!" I couldn't imagine that Wei Jun was so powerful! Those ministers in the court who belittle the Wei army are really damned!! ”
Kangju Wangcheng.
Although the night was already very dark, but Cao Cao still did not sleep, Cao Cao's current place is an extremely luxurious village close to the royal city, its owner is Kang Wenrui, the uncle of King Kangju, King Kangju originally planned to give up the palace as Cao Cao's palace, but Cao Cao felt that this was too ostentatious, and did not agree.
"You've done a great job during your time in Kangju!" Cao Cao said with a smile.
In front of Cao Cao stood a young fat man dressed in Hanfu, it was Li Jian, who stayed in the Kangju royal capital as the envoy of Great Wei during this time!
Li Jian couldn't help but be flattered, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen is willing to die for His Majesty's liver and brain!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, raised his hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "Get up!" ”
Li Jian hurriedly thanked him. Stood up and stood respectfully.
Cao Cao's demeanor was complete. Asked Li Jiandao: "You have been in Kangju for more than half a year, how do you think I should treat Kangju!" ”
Li Jian understood what Cao Cao meant. After thinking for a while, he solemnly clenched his fists and said, "Although the subjects of Kangju are very friendly to my Great Wei, this is only based on the strength of my Great Wei and their reliance on us!" And it is impossible for my Great Wei to use troops against the west in at least two years! Weichen dared to think that in a short period of time, he should strengthen the alliance with Kangju! ”
Cao Cao glanced at Li Jian and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a unique view of the situation!" ”
Li Jian hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty has won the award!" ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said to Li Jian: "You are still the envoy of Kangju on behalf of my Great Wei!" There are some things I need to tell you! ”
Li Jian hurriedly clenched his fists and stood up.
Cao Cao continued: "I do not intend to use force to change the status quo of Kangju, because a strong and close ally is beneficial both in terms of my external image and practical role! ”
There was a pause. Cao Cao continued to advise: "You must keep in mind this sentence in your work in the future!" In addition, I am going to set up a Jinyiwei branch in Kangju, and you will have to discuss with your colleagues in the Jinyiwei branch in the future! ”
Although Li Jian didn't understand a lot about Cao Cao's words, he felt that it was inconvenient to ask more
"Wechen takes orders." Li Jian respectfully clenched his fists in agreement.
Li Jian raised his head and saw Cao Cao rubbing his temples a little tiredly, so he hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, Weichen will retire!" ”
Cao Cao nodded.
Li Jian saluted Cao Cao respectfully and withdrew.
Cao Cao stood up. moved his somewhat sore neck, and asked Xu Chu on the side: "Zhongkang, when is it now?" ”
Xu Chu glanced at the sky outside the window, clenched his fists and replied: "It's probably over!" ”
Cao Cao said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang." You go down and rest first, and I'll take a walk around the courtyard by myself!" ”
"This" Xu Chu showed hesitation.
Cao Cao smiled: "I'm just walking around the garden, are you still worried about what will happen?" ”
Xu Chu thought about it. He hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, then the general will go down to rest first!" ”
Cao Cao smiled and nodded.
Come out of the inner hall. Cao Cao only felt a fresh and cool night breeze blowing on his face, and he couldn't help but feel that the whole person was a lot more sober. Several royal guards at the gate hurriedly saluted Cao Cao.
Cao Cao walked slowly in the backyard alone, looking at the scenery in the backyard by the cold moonlight, and muttered in surprise: "I didn't expect that there is such a garden scenery with the charm of the Central Plains in this Kangju royal capital!" ”
At this time, Cao Cao did not know that the Kangju royal family actually had a trace of Han blood, and most of the members of the royal family of this generation admired Han culture.
Early the next morning, the scout officer of the cavalry team responsible for exterminating the remnants of Singh's army hurriedly came to Cao Cao and reported: "Your Majesty, the remnants of Singh, trapped by us in the mountains, have escaped from the northern foot of the mountains!" General Li is leading the army in pursuit, and the villain has been ordered to come and report to His Majesty! ”
Cao Cao frowned and said, "This Singh is not an ordinary person!" Tell Li Hua to send a scout team to monitor the other party's whereabouts, and the team will scatter back! ”
"No!" The scout officer said yes and immediately exited the hall.
Cao Cao came to the sand table, looking at the small flag representing the strength of both sides, his face was thoughtful, now, Guishan has lost nearly 200,000 troops, although its 200,000 reinforcements have arrived, but Guishan's total strength is still only about 600,000, and its morale has been severely defeated, among which the 200,000 tribal alliance army and the Anxipu army will definitely have some other ideas.
"If the Sixth Legion can be transferred, there will be almost no suspense in this battle!" Cao Cao couldn't help muttering.
At that moment, a Forester walked in.
"Your Majesty, King Kangju asks to see you!" The Imperial Guards report.
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help whispering: "So early? ”
Then he said, "Please!" ”
The Guards answered and exited the hall.
Cao Cao straightened his clothes, returned to the main seat and squatted down, at this time, there were two other people in the hall, one of them was of course Dian Wei, and the other was Xu Chu.
After a while, I changed into a Hanfu and saw me secretly walking into the hall accompanied by two maids, saluted Cao Cao, and asked respectfully: "Xiao Wang has come to ask Your Majesty, but what else do you need?" ”
Cao Cao smiled indifferently and said, "King Kangju is polite!" It's nice here! King Kangju doesn't have to worry about this matter, I will have to lead his army out of here soon! ”
King Kangju couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty is going to attack the Kushan army in the west?" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Regarding this matter, I am about to go to King Kangju!" I hope that King Kangju will be able to hand over the command of the elite Kangju on the front line of Raven Mountain to me! ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, King Kangju hesitated a little, but finally agreed: "No problem!" Later, Xiao Wang will give an order to General Tuokun! (To be continued.) )
