Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 150 Puyang

Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang.

In a newly set up camp.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, human voices were constantly being heard.

"Report to Zhou Mu, according to the urgent report sent back from Taishan County the day before yesterday."

"Linzi City was attacked by many bandits at the beginning of the month, including Xu He, Wang Zheng, Chen Jiao and other forces."

"It took nearly a month. Finally, with Xu He's plan to get out of the wall, the thief Wang Zheng and Chen Bing attacked. Ten days ago, they launched a fierce attack. The gang of thieves came together and finally took the top of the city."

"Invaded the inner city nine days ago, and led troops to attack the city eight days ago. So far, the entire territory of Linzi has fallen."

"Afterwards, there was an internal confrontation with thieves in the city, but the specific reason is unknown."

"This is the second urgent report that just came in today."

"It is said that after all the thieves merged, the king of Qi County finally won, and in the next few days, he expanded his army and gathered other small groups of thieves.
"About twenty thousand."

Every time the sentinel blurted out his words, the temperature in the tent seemed to drop a bit.

It seems that we have stepped into the winter solstice from late autumn in a blink of an eye.

The sentinel also seemed to sense the strange uneasiness in the atmosphere, so his voice became more and more subtle.

When the last sentence was finished, seeing the host waving his hands, he hurriedly saluted, and then hurried out of the tent.

In the large tent at this time, there was silence like stagnant water.

No matter how high or low the official rank is, all the generals and counselors present here hold their breaths, watch their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses.

Time flows slowly.

"Okay."

The crowd followed the sound.

However, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat, finally changed his closed eyes and contemplative attitude. Now he has opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth have been slightly curved, with a smile that is not a smile.

Under everyone's gaze, the arc spread like ripples.

The next moment, Cao Cao burst into laughter.

"it is good."

"it is good"

"it is good!"

Every good word popped out, and the smile on Cao Cao's face became brighter.

He slapped the table more vigorously to beat the beat, and formed a deafening momentum in response to the words.

Like a stone falling into Pinghu, it completely broke the calm.

"Qingzhou Army, Wang Zheng, very good!"

"Lv Bu, Chen Gong are even better."

"I, Cao Mengde, was suddenly attacked by a crowd?"

He muttered to himself, his voice changed from intense at the beginning to calm, and there was always a smile on his face.

But this kind of appearance fell into Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren, who was close and familiar with him, knew it very well.

This is because the lord of his own family was already furious at this time, and he laughed even more angrily.

"Linzi City, the city of the five capitals of the great Han!"

"Hey, under the rule of Jiao He and other mediocre people who only know how to talk, the yellow scarves haven't been allowed to take half a step. I can't think of it."

Cao Cao looked around at the crowd and muttered to himself, "When I belonged to me, I fell into the hands of thieves instead."

In the words, there is already a sense of regret.

It seems to be filled with emotion.

"My lord, this is the reason why the governor Xu Xuan is incompetent."

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai finally took the initiative to speak.

Looking at Cao Cao, he spoke earnestly and gently comforted him: "It's not my lord's fault."

"Yeah yeah."

Other people on the side also echoed.

"Hey."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face immediately sank, and he said solemnly: "Xu Baojian is not incompetent, but really powerless. Your words are unfair."

"When the army is defeated, there is a possibility that the jade will be broken. I would rather burn food than leave it to the thieves. Xu Xuan is my humerus. It's a pity that the sky is not fake."

"It's a pity! It hurts!" Cao Cao looked directly at Xi Zhicai, with a tone of reprimand in his tone: "How can we still damage his reputation behind him?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai immediately surrendered and confessed.

It's just that the lowered face showed a look of helplessness.

My lord is so confused.

Of course he knew that neither the corruption in Qingzhou nor the fall of Linzi was Xu Xuan's fault.

Even if he was Xi Zhicai, he might not be very good in Xu Xuan's position.

But when something goes wrong, someone has to take the blame.

It's not Xu Xuan, who is that?
It was Wang Zheng who started the incident, and he was the initiator.

And who is it that forced Wang Zheng to rebel?

With the evolution of the situation, everyone in the tent now basically understands Wang Zheng quite well, and most of them know the reason and process of his rebellion.

If it is true to trace the source, then you can only find Xia Houmao.

He even went to hold accountable those who withheld the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's rations.

The latter is naturally impossible, not to mention the large impact, these people are Cao Cao's confidantes and direct descendants.

former.
Not to mention that Zhu Zi had already died, the other party's father was Xiahou Dun.

Not only is Cao Cao's direct descendant and clan brother, but also made great contributions a few days ago.

After intercepting Bianyi, Xiahou Dun stayed in Dongjun.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao was able to keep the three cities of Juan, Fan, and Dong'a even when the Yanzhou gentry rebelled and Lu Bu raised his troops to make a surprise attack.

This was the joint effort of Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu.

Especially Juancheng.
That's where most of the current generals of the Yanzhou Army, and even Cao Cao's family members live!
If he was taken hostage by Lu Bu, the morale of the army would be even more chaotic, and the decline would become even more difficult to recover.

As for Xiahou Dun, he was shot in the left eye by Liu Ya when he was counterattacking Lu Bu not long ago!
Such a close relationship, made great contributions, and made Cao Cao a physically disabled person.
How could his son be held accountable?

Xia Houmao can't say that, Cao Cao is the master of an army and the shepherd of a state, let alone admitting his own faults.
If you don't put the blame on Xu Xuan, who else can you turn to?

When Xi Zhicai was frowning and thinking deeply, Cao Ren continued to speak.

He is also a delicate person. Knowing that the previous topic was sensitive, he quickly broke it:

"My lord, no matter how corrupt Qingzhou is, we have no time to deal with it. The most important thing right now is to take back Yanzhou from Lu Bu!"

It makes sense.

Everyone in the account agrees.

"Lü Bu will certainly deal with it." Cao Cao nodded and said, "However, the yellow turban bandits kidnapped the refugees, and the time should not be delayed for too long, otherwise the disaster will become more severe."

Brother, do you want to divide the army?
Cao Ren felt uncomfortable, and quickly tried to dissuade him:
"My lord, according to the information, Linzi had nearly ten thousand defensive troops in the city at that time."

"Since the thieves can break through the city in ten days, they must have something extraordinary. You can't treat them like ordinary yellow scarves."

"After all, Lu Fengxian is here in Puyang now."

From Cao Ren's point of view, with Lu Bu's military strength and superiority, even if he goes all out, he may not be able to win.

If you disperse your troops again.
If there are too many points, Wang Zheng and the Yellow Turban will be wiped out, and it will be meaningless for their own side to be destroyed.

With fewer points, even if you haven't fought against him personally, you may not be able to wipe out bandits and thieves with the performance of the opponent's fighting power.

"What is Lu Bu worrying about!"

Cao Cao sneered: "After I heard the news from Xuzhou, before leading the army back, if he occupies Yanzhou, it will be a bit tricky."

"However, for such a long time, he only stationed troops in Puyang, and he didn't know how to defend Dongping, and then cut off the dangerous road of Kangfu and Mount Tai to block me."

"Masters." He looked around at the crowd, sneered, and his words were full of confidence and boldness:

"It can be seen that Lu Bu is just a brave and foolish man!"

"It's the king's government."

Constantly flashing relevant news about the other party in his mind, Cao Cao always felt that many things were unreasonable and more intriguing.

Breaking through Linzi surprised him
The same is true for Ying Xu and other cunning old thieves
There is also Niu Gai Yujin who has not heard from him so far
All these piles, one by one, made Cao Cao unknowingly began to pay attention to this son.

He trusts his instincts!

If you continue to keep this son, you may become a serious trouble in the future!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao made up his mind.

Killing intent suddenly appeared on his face, Cao Ren caught a glimpse of it the first time, and he yelled in his heart that something was wrong.

If Cao Cao is allowed to speak, it will become a military order, and it is difficult for him as a subject to disobey.

"My lord, don't underestimate Lu Bu!" Cao Ren rushed out, his tone full of urgency: "Don't divide the troops!"

Catching eyes with his brother, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Zi is filial and reassuring." He said in a deep voice, "I can distinguish the serious from the serious."

"It's just Wang Zheng's gang of thieves, we really can't let them go."

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai spoke at this time, pointed to the north, and reminded: "The external enemy and the internal strife are too weak to deal with at the same time, so it is better to use external force!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"Not bad!"

He stood up, paced around a few times, thought for a while and said, "Lv Bu served him not long ago, so it's inconvenient for him to take the initiative to be his enemy."

"Wang Zheng, but you can ask him to do it for you."

The more he thought about it, the better he felt. Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Xi Zhicai:
"Let's write a letter, so that I can ride a fast horse and go to Yecheng to deliver the letter."

"Brother Benchu, please help me eliminate the thief!"

Yecheng, the current Jizhou prefecture.

In the first year of Xingping, 194 AD, many major events took place.

It can be said that dragons fight in the wild and tigers roar in the forest.

In the northwest, Ma Teng and Han attacked Chang'an and fought with Li Jue.

In Jiangdong, Sun Ce borrowed troops from Yuan Shu to attack Qu'a and confronted Liu Yao.

Southwest, Yizhou Liu Yan, the initiator of the state animal husbandry system, who single-handedly caused or exacerbated the emergence of the separatist regime in the late Han Dynasty, died that year, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne.

In Shandong, Wang Zheng, chief of the Qingzhou Army, instigated a rebellion and raised the banner of the Huangtian Uprising.

Of course, the last thing is only in the eyes of the world. In fact, the cards are far from enough to meet the threshold of major events in the world.

Although this year was turbulent and magnificent, the most influential one still happened in Hebei.

Because it was this year that Yuan Shao began to suppress Gongsun Zan.

It also announced that he has officially ascended to the top of the world's strongest princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty!
none of them.

　PS:

　　1. Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu in 193, which led to rebellion in Youzhou and gradually lost popular support. In 194, he officially changed from two heroes confronting Hebei to Yuan Shao suppressing each other.

　　2. Jiao He, governor of Qingzhou. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" did not appear.

　　This person likes to talk, loves divination, and is superstitious about ghosts and gods. He has come to a place where "praying to the gods and praying to the soldiers will surely benefit, and the fortune-telling is always displayed in front of him, and the witches and blessings do not go to the side". I don't know soldiers. Every time the enemy comes, I will flee before fighting.

　　When the princes of the Eighteenth Route joined forces with Suanzao, Jiao He also led the army, but encountered a yellow scarf by the Yellow River, was defeated, and died of illness in the army.
