Chapter 126

Liaodong.

On this day, a letter passed through the Clippers and was quickly delivered to Cao Pi.

After Cao Pi read the letter, he handed it to his subordinates to read it one by one.

"What do you think?" Cao Pi asked everyone after the circulation was over.

"General Zhonglang, although the Xianbei people suffered casualties in Youzhou, the casualties were not very large. If we rashly enter the grassland, we may not be the opponents of the Xianbei people." Someone said to Cao Pi.

"I don't think so, General Zhonglang. I am from Youzhou. The Xianbei people attacked me in Youzhou and killed me. I request to lead my three thousand cavalry to attack Xianbei." Che Zhenwu, whose thousand cavalry defeated tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry, stood up and said.

"I also want to lead [-] Musketeers to attack Xianbei." Chen Yi, who once led [-] Musketeers to defeat the Liaodong Army and Xianbei Cavalry, also came out and said.

"And me, I want to attack Xianbei too." Tian Yuan, who once led [-] plate armored infantry outside Yuyang City to fight tens of thousands of Liaodong Army, also said.

"Several, I can understand your eagerness to fight, but the grassland is not as good as the Central Plains. The grassland is flat and flat, and the Xianbei people are all cavalry. They march very fast. If you want to attack Xianbei, you must at least be cavalry." Someone said to Tianyuan. A few people said.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although we are not cavalry, after a month of practice, my soldiers have already acquired good riding skills. It is no problem to enter the grassland to fight." Tian Yuan said to the man.

Although the soldiers under Tian Yuan are plate armored infantry, after the victory in the last decisive battle in Youzhou, they got a lot of horses.

Then Youzhou attacked Liaodong, Tianyuan Chen Yi and other subordinates were naturally assigned a war horse.

At that time, it was considered that although they were not cavalry, it was good to have a horse to travel, which could save a lot of energy.

Now, it has been more than half a month since they set off from Youzhou. With the assistance of the three treasures of the cavalry, they have basically learned how to ride horses, but their horse skills are not bad.

A normal person riding a horse can usually run fast on the horse when he has [-] saddles, but being able to ride a horse and fighting on a horse are two different things. If five thousand musketeers encounter an enemy, they probably can only dismount and fight on foot.

"General Zhonglang, let's fight! Youzhou is already fighting, we can't fall behind," someone persuaded Cao Pi.

The letter from Youzhou was written by Li Bai, the governor of Youzhou, to Cao Pi. It stated that Yue Fei's [-] cavalry had already invaded the territory of the Xianbei people.

"Since everyone thinks they can attack, let's fight."

Cao Pi said to everyone: "However, the army to attack Youzhou this time can only be cavalry, and the army without horses should not participate. I will preside over the overall situation in Liaodong and provide logistics for everyone. I hope everyone can return victorious."

At the beginning of the second lunar month in 212 AD, [-] "cavalry" departed from Liaodong and crossed the border and began to attack the Xianbei people's territory.

Among this cavalry, 5000 were Youzhou soldiers, and 1 were the defenders of Yecheng led by Cao Pi.

Just when Liaodong began to act, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao finally arrived in Youzhou.

Alongside Cao Cao was a large group of civil servants and generals, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, etc., bringing almost half of the imperial court.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

When Cao Cao arrived, officials of all sizes in Youzhou naturally went out of the city to greet him.

Zhang Qingfeng worked as a meritorious Cao in Youzhou, so he was naturally among the welcome ones.

"Haha, everyone is free." Cao Cao smiled and saluted everyone.

"I haven't seen you for two years. How is your husband?" Cao Cao greeted Zhang Qingfeng with a smile.

"Everything is fine, I am sorry for the Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for two years, the Prime Minister is still as handsome as ever." Zhang Qingfeng also greeted him with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao's hearty laughter sounded.

"Prime Minister, the city has prepared a feast to welcome the wind, and please come to the city with me to rest." Youzhou Governor Li Bai said to Cao Cao.

Afterwards, a group of people entered the city, and Li Bai and Zhang Qingfeng brought Cao Cao and his group to Jicheng Restaurant to settle down.

"Youzhou is really good. I didn't expect not only to defeat the Liaodong coalition forces, but also to completely take down the entire Liaodong. It's really good."

At the banquet, Cao Cao praised all the Youzhou officials.

"Prime Minister, all this is due to your support for Youzhou, Prime Minister."

Li Bai, the governor of Youzhou, said flatteringly: "Without the support of the prime minister, Youzhou would not be able to develop so well, and it would be impossible to defeat the army of Gongsun Kang and Ke Bineng."

"Haha, Taibai, your flattering skills are getting better and better." Cao Cao laughed.

"Prime Minister, your deeds to the court are obvious to all. Since ancient times, no one who has saved the country has achieved such great deeds as you. No one has such a great deed, and there is no one who has been under the people for a long time. Now you You want to maintain your reputation, but you are willing to live under others, but there are still so many people in the court who doubt you and even want to harm you, this is really inappropriate."

After a pause, Li Bai said to Cao Cao: "In my opinion, the imperial court should enshrine the prime minister as a vassal king to match your achievements."

Quiet, quiet, you can hear a needle drop.

Hearing Li Bai's words, all the people at the banquet stopped eating, and many people even raised their chopsticks in the air, and they just froze and didn't move. Their eyes were fixed on Li Bai, with a look of shock on their faces.

Hearing Li Bai's words, Cao Cao no longer had a smile on his face, but his face became extremely serious.

Seeing everyone looking at Li Bai with strange eyes made Li Bai feel very uncomfortable.

He took a piece of food with his chopsticks, then forced a smile, and continued, "Prime Minister, no matter who wants to harm you, Youzhou is your biggest backing."

"Presumptuous, Li Taibai, do you know what you're talking about? Nonsense." On Cao Cao's left, Xun Yu slapped the table and pointed at Li Bai angrily.

"I think Li Taibai is right."

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng on Cao Cao's right spoke.

The reason why Li Bai said this today is because of Zhang Qingfeng's instruction.

Historically, this year Dong Zhao, Cao Cao's counselor, would advise Cao Cao to enter Wei Gong.

Judging from what Cao Cao has done in recent years, he has long intended to replace the Han Dynasty, but because many court ministers secretly opposed it and opposed Cao Cao's operation.

He even wanted to get rid of Cao Cao secretly, but there were too many constraints, both overt and covert, so Cao Cao could only do it slowly.

Historically, he first entered Wei Gong, then entered Wei Wang, and finally his son replaced the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Qingfeng knew this, so he asked Li Bai to clarify the matter first before Dong Zhao. Dong Zhao advised Cao Cao to be the Duke of Wei, while he asked Li Bai to directly advise Cao Cao to be the King of Wei, to show that they would Cao Cao's supportive attitude.

Through this battle with the Liaodong Allied Forces, Zhang Qingfeng has already seen that Youzhou has become a powerful force, capable of sweeping away all demons and monsters.

With Youzhou's support, he believed that even if Cao Cao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor directly, he would be able to withstand all pressures on him later.

"Brother Ruixiang, you..." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Xun Yu looked in disbelief.

PS: I recommend a book "Contracting Ming Dynasty". I have finished reading this book, and it is a full order. Although some plots of this book are out of touch with reality, it is very refreshing to read. You can read it.
