Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Cao Shuo actually ambushed soldiers and horses in the city. When did they come in?

While ordering the soldiers to carry Dong Zhuo down to rest, Li Ru ordered Fan Chou to lead [-] soldiers to rescue the palace.

"Siege!"

Cao Shuo saw the fire in the city and gave the order to attack the city.

Li Jue's army had only a few thousand men left, and could no longer threaten him. The soldiers rescued by Dong Zhuo had all retreated into the city.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, it would be a waste of Deng Zhan and Shi A's painstaking efforts not to attack the city at this time.

"Hey, hey!"

Dozens of extremely heavy ladders were pushed out by a group of soldiers.

With limited vision at night, Dong Zhuo's soldiers could not see what these ladders were made of.

Even if they let them shoot arrows, they will not be hurt at all, and the rockets will not be able to burn them.

"boom!"

The moment the ladder touched the city wall, they realized that it was actually made of iron.

There are six such ladders in total, and Cao Shuo has never weighed them, nor can they weigh them. The wheels are all two feet wide, if he hadn't developed simple rubber tires.

With the strength of the soldiers alone, they couldn't move this thing at all.

The six ladders are lined up side by side, and they are five or six feet wide. It is absolutely no problem for more than a dozen people to walk side by side.

"Kill it!"

Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei led the archers to climb up first, and countless arrows shot at them, crushing them so much that they couldn't lift their heads.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers led by the three climbed onto the city wall.

"Shoot them down!"

Li Ru roared, but it didn't work.

At noon, there was no voice of resistance in Chang'an City.

The day and night of fighting had already caused rivers of blood to flow in the city of Chang'an, and corpses were everywhere.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Cao Shuo's civil servants and generals looked at Cao Shuo on the dragon chair, and bowed down directly.

Among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, the seven prefectures of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Sili, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou are already under the control of Cao Shuo, and it is logical to proclaim the emperor.

Xi Zhicai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Shi A, the Governor of Jinyiwei, was outnumbered in the battle with Fan Chou and died in Dong Zhuo's palace."

Cao Shuo sighed, and Shi A helped himself to do a lot of things, "Buy Shi A generously, and send his wife and children to the Luoyang Palace. I will let the concubines take good care of them."

"No!"

Guo Jia said: "In the battle of Chang'an, our army lost a total of more than 3000 soldiers, Dong Zhuo lost more than 9 soldiers, and surrendered more than 8 soldiers."

"A total of 1000 to 20 million stones of grain and grass, nearly [-] horses, and countless weapons and chariots were seized."

"Dong Zhuo's generals Fan Chou, Li Su, Duan Yao, and Li Jue were killed, Li Ru was captured alive, and Dong Zhuo was sick in bed, unable to recover."

Cao Shuo nodded, and then ordered: "Immediately send soldiers to clean up the corpses in Chang'an City, and burn them all to avoid plague."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru will be executed at the gate of the East City Gate!"

"promise!"

Dong Zhuo has done so many unreasonable things, he must give the world an explanation.

As his greatest help, Li Ru gave him a lot of ideas. He had already given Li Ru a chance to reform himself, but Li Ru didn't grasp it.

"Dong Zhuo's imperial concubine and Li Ru's family are all executed to comfort the world!"

Xun You reminded; "Your Majesty, there is Ma Teng in Xiliang, and Liu Bei in Hanzhong. This Chang'an needs a general to guard."

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Hasn't Han Sui's old general Yan Xing already joined our army? Call him here."

"promise!"

After a while, Yan Xing came to the palace under the leadership of a guard.

"See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty Long Live Long Live Long Live Your Majesty."

"Ok!"

Cao Shuo said in a deep voice, "I heard that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Chencang. These people are all Han Sui's former troops. I wonder if the general can persuade them to surrender to our country of Wei."

Yan Xing hesitated for a moment, and then said; "The final general is willing to go to Chen Cang in person to persuade several generals to surrender."

"Then go and come back quickly!"

"promise!"

After Yan Xing left, Cao Shuo looked at Huang Zhong and said, "General Han Sheng, I will leave the defense of Guanzhong to you. For the three counties of Zuo Fengling, You Fufeng, and Jingzhaoyin, I will leave you 15 yuan. Army."

"Xu Rong, Yan Xing, Xia Houyuan, Wang Ling, and Huang Xu are at your disposal. In addition, Chen Gong and Liu Ye will assist you in handling military affairs."

"The final general will ensure that he will not be lost in the customs!"

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, send Jinyiwei to Xiliang and Hanzhong to spread the news, saying that the Central Plains region needs a large number of people to plant fields, and those who move to the Central Plains will be exempted from tax burden for ten years."

Chapter 464 Cao Shuo Has Never Been in Human Affairs

After Cao Shuo ordered the affairs of Yongzhou, he led the army back to Luoyang.

The news that Wei State exempted immigrants from taxation quickly spread in Liangzhou, Hanzhong and other places.

After Ma Teng heard the news, he quickly held an all-staff meeting.

This is a major plan related to his life and death in Liangzhou, so it must be taken seriously.

Their Liangzhou was originally sparsely populated. If Cao Shuo tricked some of them away, Liangzhou would be destroyed by itself.

Ma Teng said with a gloomy face: "Cao Shuo, a bastard, has a lot of food, a big land, and no human resources. He even exempted immigrants from paying rent for ten years. Do you have a way to deal with it?"

Fa Yan suggested: "My lord, we can follow the example of Cao Shuo and exempt the tax burden, so as to stabilize the morale of the army."

Now they can only follow Cao Shuo, and they can only avoid more than him, otherwise, within a year, the number of people in Liangzhou will decrease by [-] to [-]%.

Ma Teng thought for a while and said, "In that case, where does our military ration come from?"

His army and horses all needed food and grass to feed them. If taxes were exempted, his money would be much less, and it would be difficult to collect food.

Fa Yan replied: "We have a lot of iron ore, we can exchange some necessities of life with the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, and then trade with the common people in exchange for the food in their hands."

If they buy it directly with money, they won't be able to buy much, so it's better to exchange it with something real.

What's more, since Dong Zhuo implemented small money in Yongliang and Liangzhou, the people are not so keen on copper coins, and more often exchange items with each other.

Ma Teng fell into deep thought with worry on his face. If he traded with Cao Shuo, he would definitely be manipulated by the other party.

However, apart from a little more minerals and a little more horses, cattle and sheep in Liangzhou, everything else is in short supply, especially food.

"Alas, food in Xiliang is a very big problem!"

Fa Yan said: "I heard that Cao Shuo used to graze horses, cattle and sheep in Youzhou. We can also vigorously promote breeding so that the people no longer worry about food."

Ma Teng nodded, that's all he had to do now.

Fazheng said: "My lord, Liu Bei only owns a county, so he became the king of Hanzhong. Why don't you become the king, so as to stabilize the morale of Liangzhou's army?"

Ma Chao said excitedly: "My son agrees with my second brother's suggestion. My father is considering proclaiming himself king and emperor. Why don't father proclaim himself emperor directly?"

Ma Teng's subordinates persuaded Ma Teng to become emperor one after another. Among the princes of the world, Ma Teng was the only one who had not yet become emperor.

Ma Teng thought about it carefully, and said, "Then we'll call Xiliang."

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

Ma Teng said with a smile: "The capital of the country will be set at Wuwei Guzang, and Wuwei County will be changed to Wuwei Yin."

"Feng Fayan Taiwei, Pang Yi Sikong, Yangfu Situ."

"Make Ma Chao the former general, Fazheng the right general, Jiang Jiong the left general, and Ma Wan the rear general!"

Ma Teng reserved the position of general, just to let Ma Chao know that his current ability is not enough to lead the whole army.

Ma Chao was obviously a little unhappy. Among so many generals, who is as brave as him?

He didn't understand why Ma Teng wanted to leave the position of the general vacant, but he didn't say anything on the spot.

Fa Yan suggested: "Your Majesty, we can just take this opportunity to inform the counties in Xiliang to stabilize the morale of the army and the people."

"Let's trouble Master Taiwei to handle this matter."

After Ma Teng retreated from the crowd, Ma Chao asked with a puzzled face, "Father, why is the position of the general vacant?"

Ma Teng said with a serious face: "My son, don't you understand my intentions? What you have to do now is to learn some strategies from Fazheng. As a general, how can you not understand strategies and only know how to fight blindly?"

Ma Chao's face turned red and then pale, and Ma Teng continued: "Look at Cao Shuo's general Zhao Yun, oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, Cao Shuo left the general Huang Zhong in Yongzhou, you need to pay special attention to this man. "

Ma Chao said with a look of disdain: "It's not Zhao Yun, what is there to worry about? Isn't it just that Yan Xing was captured on the battlefield, the boy can also capture Yan Xing alive now."

Ma Teng shook his head. Ma Chao didn't know when he could get rid of his temper.

"Our spies have investigated Huang Zhong, who once singled out Guan Yu!"

Ma Chao said eagerly: "You don't need to guess, he is not Guan Yu's opponent at all."

Ma Chao fought Guan Yu more than once, and Guan Yu was slightly better than him, but he believed that he would definitely be able to defeat Guan Yu in the future.

Guan Yu is at the beginning of his peak, and he is not yet 20 years old. He has several years to surpass Guan Yu.

"Guan Yu is defeated!"

"what?"

Ma Chao was extremely astonished, how could Guan Yu lose to Huang Zhong?

Ma Teng looked at his son's expression of disbelief, and decided to hit him again, to let him know that there are countless capable people in this world.

"Guan Yu's strength is not ranked among the top five in Cao Shuo's army."

Ma Chao's forehead is twisted into a twist, can't he be ranked in the top five?

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are under Cao Shuo's command, so is there anyone else?

Lu Bu, a guy who has no bottom line, probably intends to work his life for Cao Shuo.

Ma Teng continued: "Cao Shuo's bravery is the best in the world. I won't talk about that. Zhao Yun defeated Lv Bu. He is the number one general in Wei, followed by Lv Bu and Huang Zhong."

Ma Chao said depressedly: "Then at least it can still rank fifth."

Ma Teng shook his head and said, "I heard that when Guan Yu and Wei Yan switched defenses, they fought Cao Shuo's bodyguard Dian Wei, and Guan Yu lost."

"????"

Ma Chao's face was ashen, and he thought to himself, this Guan Yu is too disappointing, he can't even beat a guard, maybe he deliberately lost to the opponent in order to curry favor with Cao Shuo.

Seeing that Ma Chao was silent, Ma Teng continued, "Before Hulao Pass, he was the one who captured Hua Xiong alive. You know Hua Xiong's strength, even you can't defeat him within fifty moves."

"However, Dian Wei captured Hua Xiong alive without using ten tricks."

Ma Chao said with a mournful face, "My son is off to practice martial arts!"

Ma Chao's confidence was battered, Guan Yu's strength was not even ranked among the top five in Wei, and he still couldn't beat Wei Yan within a hundred rounds.

Wei Yan was captured alive by Zhao Yun, so he is still far from a top general.

Ma Teng looked at the back of his son leaving, and was very flustered in his heart. Cao Shuo had too many generals.

The reason why he didn't call himself king or emperor was because he felt that it was unnecessary to do so.

Cao Shuo's strength is already much stronger than him. If it wasn't for Dong Zhuo's tyrannical strength, which caused him to lose some troops, Cao Shuo would probably take advantage of the victory to attack Xiliang.

Ma Teng called Ma Dai and told him, "Ma Dai, I will give you [-] troops. You can take back the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu will assist you."

Ma Dai is still young, he needs to be trained, and maybe he can become his right-hand man in the future.
