Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 139 The Arrival of Cao Cao
A few days later, Tan Ma confirmed that the army led by Zhang Fei had indeed retreated.

However, although the news is clear, Niu Gai who is stationed in Wancheng still cannot relax his vigilance.

However, a few days later, the Youzhou fleet was about to leave Wancheng and head down the river towards Hefei.

This time, the Jingzhou navy fleet and thousands of officers and soldiers were captured, so it is impossible to stay in Wancheng forever.

The Youzhou fleet left, not all of them, but three ordinary gunboats, so that if the enemy came again, they would not be unable to resist.

When the Youzhou fleet returned, Tangyi City, Sun Quan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had been besieged for half a month.

Besieging Tangyi, in addition to Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Xia Houyuan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses also accelerated into the siege.

"Is Sun Zhongmou still unwilling to surrender?"

Outside Tangyi City, in a tent, Zhang Liaochao asked his subordinates.

"General, Sun Quan has made up his mind not to surrender, but many officials under him have quietly contacted us, expressing their willingness to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side," said the subordinate.

"Even if Sun Quan surrenders, there is no room for him in the imperial court. It seems that he will not surrender until he is in desperate situation." Zhang Liao shook his head and said.

"Quickly persuade Sun Quan's subordinates to surrender, we want to take Tangyi without bloodshed." Zhang Liaochao said to his subordinates.

"General."

At this moment, an eager footstep came quickly, it was Zhang Liao's messenger.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Liao asked the messenger.

"General, the prime minister is here, ten miles away." The messenger said to Zhang Liao.

"The prime minister is here? Okay, everyone follow me to meet the prime minister." Zhang Liao immediately said to a group of generals around him.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, a group of people rode horses and quickly greeted them in one direction.

Soon, everyone saw a cavalry of thousands of people approaching slowly.

"Prime Minister."

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

When the two sides met, Zhang Liao hurriedly saluted with a group of people.

"You don't need to be too polite." Cao Cao said to Zhang Liao and his group with a smile.

"Wen Yuan, you have done a great job this time. I didn't expect you to push Sun Zhongmou into such a situation. It's really great." Cao Cao said to Zhang Liao.

"The prime minister has won the award. Liao was able to achieve this step thanks to the command of Lin Yongsheng from Youzhou." Zhang Liao said to Cao Cao.

After finishing speaking, he moved his right hand to the side, pointed to a young man and said, "This is Commander Lin Yongsheng. It was Commander Lin who defeated Sun Quan's navy and helped me defend Hefei City. That's why I won this victory." .”

"Haha, you all have contributed. If this matter is over, I will definitely repay your credit to the court." Cao Cao said haha.

Afterwards, Cao Cao looked at Lin Yongsheng who was at the side and asked, "Lin Yongsheng, are you Mr. Ruixiang's student?"

"Prime Minister, I am Mr. Ruixiang's student, Li Bai and the others are Mr. Ruixiang's first student, and I am the second student of Taihang Academy." Lin Yongsheng said respectfully to Cao Cao.

"Mr. Ruixiang's students are really talented. Lin Yongsheng, would you like to become an official in the court?" Cao Cao asked Lin Yongsheng.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for his promotion. Lin Yongsheng does not want to be an official in the court, but only wants to serve the prime minister." Lin Yongsheng replied respectfully.

Cao Cao was very happy to hear Lin Yongsheng's words. Lin Yongsheng's words showed that he was willing to be loyal to Cao Cao, not the Han court.

"Hahaha, there is no conflict between being an official in the court and working for me."

Cao Cao said: "I have heard about your achievements along the way. You first defeated Sun Quan's navy, then captured Guangling City, and finally assisted in the defense of Hefei City. Together with the Hefei defenders, you defeated Sun Quan's army. I must follow your meritorious service." There are quite a few people, so, you make a list of all the meritorious people who follow you, and I will let the court reward you according to the merits after the matter is over." Cao Cao said to Lin Yongsheng.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister." Hearing Cao Cao's words, Lin Yongsheng showed an excited expression.

Although he didn't really care about court rewards, he still needed his help to win the credit for the merits of his juniors.

This time the Youzhou fleet went south, mainly to seek revenge from Sun Quan.

I didn't expect that revenge could be avenged, and he could also be rewarded by the court. How can this not make people happy.

"Let's talk as we walk." Cao Cao said to everyone.

Under Cao Cao's arrangement, the group continued to march.

"Wen Yuan, tell me about the current form of warfare here." Cao Cao said to Zhang Liao who was beside him while riding a horse.

"Prime Minister, at present we have surrounded Sun Quan's army in Tangyi City, and now the entire Jiangbei has become our territory..."

Zhang Liao began to introduce the current form to Cao Cao.

After listening to Zhang Liao's introduction, Cao Cao looked very excited: "So, as long as we get rid of Sun Quan's troops in Tangyi City, wouldn't we be able to control the entire Jiangnan?"

"It's almost like this." Zhang Liao nodded and said, "In Jiangnan, Sun Quan's remaining army is less than [-]. As long as we defeat Sun Quan's tens of thousands of troops in Tangyi City, Jiangnan will definitely be able to pass the call."

Zhang Liao said: "Currently, we are stepping up contact with Sun Quan's officials and generals. Many of them have expressed their willingness to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. I have been preparing to dismantle Sun Quan's troops without bloodshed."

"You did a good job." After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Cao Cao nodded and said, "However, in addition to persuading the enemy to surrender, we also need to put some pressure on the enemy, so that Sun Quan's army can be disintegrated as soon as possible."

Having said this, Cao Cao looked at Lin Yongsheng and asked, "Lin Yongsheng, are the five thousand Musketeers under your command in Tangyi?"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Lin Yongsheng quickly replied: "Prime Minister, there are only more than 700 musketeers under my command in Tangyi."

"Isn't there five thousand? Could it be that the Musketeers suffered so many casualties?" Cao Cao asked.

Musketeers, in the eyes of Cao Cao now, are more important than plate armor and cavalry.

When he was in Youzhou, he heard that five thousand Musketeers were a powerful army that defeated tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers.

And the Musketeers led by Lin Yongsheng are veterans who have been trained for more than half a year, so they should be stronger than the [-] Musketeers temporarily formed in Youzhou.

"Prime Minister, you have misunderstood. More than 2000 musketeers were taken by my younger brother Zhang Chao to stop Liu Bei's Jingzhou Navy." Lin Yongsheng explained.

"That's it." Cao Cao nodded, and asked Lin Yongsheng: "Do you know the news that two months ago, five thousand Musketeers temporarily formed in Youzhou defeated tens of thousands of Liaodong troops?"

"This, I know." Lin Yongsheng nodded and said, "Every time, supplies such as weapons and ammunition will be shipped from Youzhou by sea. I already knew this news half a month ago."

"It's good that you know that tomorrow I'm going to have someone attack the city to put pressure on the defenders in Tangyi City, and then you'll need to use your Musketeers to suppress the enemy troops on the city wall." Cao Cao said to Lin Yongsheng.

"The prime minister has an order, Lin Yongsheng must obey it." Lin Yongsheng said respectfully.

PS, Chinese New Year is almost here. During this time, the construction site has to work overtime every day, and there is not much time to code words. Sometimes only one chapter can be updated a day. Please forgive me.

I also recommend a book for everyone: "The Great Era 1977". I have finished reading this book. Although it is a new book, it is very good. I guarantee it with my personality, you can read it.
