Chapter 1201: The heart is not ruthless, and the country is unstable
Lu Bu led three hundred Qin army warriors to kill the Cao army outside Liyang City.
Cao Cao did not order the withdrawal, but strengthened the vigilance of Cao's army.
Not only did he prevent the Qin army from suddenly climbing down from the city wall, but the Cao army also had to guard the Liyang City Gate, for fear that Lu Bu would suddenly lead the army to kill him coldly.
Standing outside the barracks with his hands on his hips, looking at the Liyang City Gate, Cao Cao's brows were tightly locked.
Since the fight withdrew from the battlefield of Xudu to Hebei, the Cao army fought successively, almost forcing the Hebei army to a desperate situation, but the Qin army suddenly entered Hebei at the most critical time.
In the war for Hebei, Cao Cao had no hope at all.
Especially in the night of the first two days, Lu Buzhi led 300 Qin troops and killed Cao's army in a big chaos.
After the battle, Cao Cao had the number of casualties on both sides counted.
The Qin army that robbed the camp was not lost by anyone, and after a stir, they withdrew to the city.
The Cao army, which was suddenly attacked, had nearly 1,000 killed and countless wounded.
Especially Wei Xu's death, which made Cao Cao feel even more depressed.
Before the two armies fought, they lost their generals in front of the battle, and for the army, they were the most fierce of the great!
"Qi Cao Gong, find the messenger of the Qin army!" Just staring at the Liyang City Gate, a personal soldier quickly ran behind Cao Cao, clasped his fists and bowed to him and asked, "Do you want to capture?" ”
Turning his head to look at the soldier, Cao Cao turned his gaze to Xun Yu on the side.
"King Qin's accession to the throne is imminent, and he is categorically unwilling to move the army at the moment!" Seeing Cao Cao turn his head to look at him, Xun You clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "The messenger should be a herald to Lu Bu, and he must not go out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”
"Does Gongda mean to let the messenger into the city?" Frowning slightly, Cao Cao asked coldly.
"What Gong Cao wants is not this Liyang City!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Xun You said: "Our army has besieged the city for a few days, and if we find a reason, we can wave our army to the north and break the Liaodong ......"
Staring at Xun You, Cao Cao was silent for a moment before nodding and saying to the soldiers who reported the news: "And the messenger of the Qin army will enter the city!" ”
"No!" With a fist in response, the soldiers retreated.
Cao Cao ordered not to intercept the messengers of the Qin army, and the messengers of the Qin army who arrived from Luoyang galloped all the way, and it didn't take long to come to the gate of Liyang City.
Not far from Liyang City, there is the Cao army camp.
Riding on horseback, the Qin army, who came to summon Lu Bu on the orders of Chen Gong and Tian Feng, first turned his head and glanced at the Cao army's military camp, and when he saw that there was no Cao army rushing towards him, he raised his head and shouted to the Qin army on the head of the city: "Important military situation, open the city gate quickly!" ”
The Qin army was ordered to come outside the city gate, and it was Wen Chou who was in charge of the defense of the city.
Hearing that the Qin army shouted "important military information", Wen Chou instructed the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate and ask him to enter the city!" ”
The soldiers responded, turned around and ran to the battlements near the side of the city, grabbed the battlements with both hands, leaned out of the city wall, and shouted to the Qin army on the inside of the city gate: "The general has an order, open the city gate quickly!" ”
The Qin army, who was guarding the city gate, heard the shout and hurriedly opened the city gate.
The gates of the city slowly opened, and when the heralds outside the city had only opened a gap in the gates, they put their legs on the horse's belly, shook off the reins, and jumped into the city through the gap.
As soon as he entered the city, the Qin army guarding the city gate closed the city gate tightly.
Entering the city, the herald turned over and jumped off his horse, and shouted to the nearby Qin army: "Where are the generals, the military division wants to send a military order!" ”
"What a military order!" Without waiting for the other Qin troops to respond, Wen Chou had already run down from the city wall and shouted at him.
Seeing Wen Chou get off the city wall, the Qin army who gave the order clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down and said: "General Qiyu, the military division has an order, asking our army to defend the city to the death, and don't go out of the city to fight with the Cao army." Cao's army has besieged the city for several days, and it will definitely withdraw! ”
Guarding the city for days, he was depressed and irritable, looking forward to the news from Luoyang that they wanted to go out of the city to fight, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was such an order, and Wen Chou was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart.
"What did His Highness say about the military order passed by which military advisor?" Frowning, Wen Chou asked Qin Jun who had given the order.
"It's Chen Gong and Tian Feng, two military advisors!" Maintaining a fist-hugging posture, the herald soldier answered.
Knowing that the military order was from Chen Gong and Tian Feng, Wen Chou wrinkled his brows and asked again: "What does Your Highness say?" ”
"Your Highness must also want me to defend the city to the death!" Before Qin Jun, who had the order, could answer, a voice came from a little distance.
Hearing this voice, Wen Chou turned his head to look over.
What appeared in front of him was Lu Bu and Yan Liang in military uniforms.
While resting in the official mansion, Lu Bu and Yan Liang learned that Luoyang had an order, so they hurriedly left the official mansion and went to the city gate, wanting to hear what kind of order was given.
Before he got closer, Lu Bu heard the order of the Qin army to let the army defend the city and the Cao army would definitely withdraw in the near future.
Although he was bored in his heart, he had suffered two losses in a row for disobeying military orders, and Lu Bu had also learned well.
Since Luoyang has passed down the order, he will definitely obey it with all his might, Yiwen Chou's heart is still full of resentment, but Lu Bu has already stopped in front of the herald and said it.
Seeing that Lu Bu and Yan Liang were coming, Wen Chou arched towards the two of them with his fists in his hands, and said with a sullen face: "Wen Hou led three hundred warriors out of the city a few days ago, and he killed Cao Jun and turned over on his back. As long as our army goes out of the city, we will definitely be able to get the head of Cao Cao's child! I just don't know why the military advisor gave such an order! ”
"Your Highness has your own considerations, we just need to obey the military orders!" Chao Wenchou waved his hand, and Lu Bu said to the herald: "Hurry back to Luoyang and inform the military advisor that we will definitely defend the city and not let Cao Jun climb the city wall for half a step!" ”
"No!" He bowed down with his fists in response, and the herald didn't even rest, turning over on his horse.
No sooner had he turned his horse than the gates opened.
When the city gate had just opened a gap, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rode out of Liyang City.
Out of Liyang, I saw Cao Jun's military camp from a distance, and Qin Jun, who gave the order, also had doubts in his heart.
If Cao Jun had been so close in the past, he would have sent people to capture him.
But at the moment, Cao Jun's military camp was quiet, and Cao Jun had no intention of sending people to take him at all.
With suspicion in his heart, the herald of the Qin army accelerated the speed of the war horse, galloped all the way in the direction of Luoyang, and soon disappeared from the field of vision of the defenders at the head of Liyang City.
Lu Bu and others in Liyang City received orders, and the Qin troops in Hebei soon received a military order from Luoyang to strictly prohibit them from going out of the city to fight.
Tian Feng and Chen Gong issued orders to the Qin army in Hebei, and Liu Wei, who was in Songshan, also got the news that the two had issued military orders.
Standing under the Fengzen platform, looking up at the towering platform, Liu Wei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Cao Cao was still entrenched in Hebei, and Tian Feng and Chen Gong issued an order to the Qin army in Hebei to prohibit fighting, and in the eyes of many, Liu Wei would be dissatisfied.
But when he got the news, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with Tian Feng and Chen Gong's decision.
Standing beside Liu Wei, Tang Ji asked him softly, "Why is Your Highness laughing?" ”
"This king is thinking about it, it won't be long before the matter of Great Qin can be handed over to Yuan Zhi and others to deal with, and this king only needs to hold the military power in his hands to rest easy!" Looking up at the high platform, Liu Wei smiled and said to Tang Ji: "Although Cao Cao is in Hebei, he also knows that with the strength of Cao's army, he is powerless to compete with our army for other places. He's just going to make a false shot and head north! ”
"Cao Cao is powerful, why didn't His Highness cut it off in one fell swoop?" Looking at Liu Wei, Tang Ji said suspiciously: "If there is no Cao Cao, the Central Plains and the north will not be in the hands of His Highness?" Dahan's foundation is also stable! ”
"Tang Ji only knows that without Cao Cao, the Central Plains and the north will be pacified!" Slowly shaking his head, Liu Wei said to her: "Now that the northern heroes are strong, who is not holding heavy troops? Liaodong Gongsun Du, although he surrendered to this king, he always had the intention of hegemony in his heart! The prosperity of the state, if the heroes are conquered everywhere, even if the king becomes the emperor, what is the meaning of peace? ”
"Your Highness wants to ......" Apricot eyes widened, Tang Ji opened her mouth slightly, looked at Liu Wei in disbelief, and only asked a small half, and the second half of the sentence was swallowed back by her.
"To pacify Liaodong, we must borrow Cao Cao's hand!" A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Tang Ji and said, "Ma Teng, Han Sui, are still in Xiliang at the moment. When Liaodong is stable, Wuhuan is really surrendered, and this king is also going to give Xiliang a whole whole! ”
Although Bing Xue is smart, Tang Ji does not know military affairs.
Liu Wei's words, to her ears, are really a bit foggy.
Bei Ya bit her lip, and when she looked at Liu Wei, her face showed a touch of entanglement.
When Liu Wei took her to escape from Luoyang, the king of Hongnong at that time, although he did not have a single soldier in his hands, he had the pride of helping the world and the feelings of fraternity.
But today's King Qin, in Tang Ji's opinion, has changed.
Even she couldn't understand it.
The heroes of the world are nothing more than the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, but according to the intention of King Qin, it seems that all the heroes must be swept away, and the world will return to the heart.
With her head down, Tang Ji didn't speak, just doing her own thoughts in her heart.
Turning his head to look at her, from her face, Liu Wei could see the entanglement.
Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to Tang Ji: "Tang Ji, but do you feel that this king has changed?" Even the heroes who are close to this king, as long as it is possible to be unfavorable to the Han in the future, this king will cut them off! ”
Although she is the princess of Liu Wei, and soon after, she will be the queen of the Han Dynasty, but Tang Ji does not dare to admit her thoughts in person.
When Liu Wei asked this sentence, she just pursed her lips tightly, and she didn't even speak.
Looking back at Feng Chantai, Liu Wei sighed softly, as if talking to himself: "This king is also forced to be helpless, these many years, conquest everywhere, let this king know a truth!" The heart is not ruthless, and the country is unstable! ”
