Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: I help Lao Cao fight the country

Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and other generals also stood up one after another, and they all praised Liu Bei's actions!

Liu Bei said repeatedly: "Everyone is absurd! It is absurd!"

In fact, there is already a fluttering rush in my heart!

After another round of compliments from the crowd, Liu Bei said:

"I called everyone here today. In fact, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

All the people present sat upright when they heard the words, and all their eyes fell on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei continued:

"Early this morning, I received a detailed report. Cao Ang has arrived in Chang'an. I don't think I need to say more about the purpose of his trip. You should know what it is for, right?"

Zhang Song was the first to speak: "Could it be that Cao Bandit is here for Hanzhong?"

Liu Bei: "That's right, nine times out of ten he is coming towards Hanzhong!"

Fazheng said: "This Cao Ang has no sense of shame. Hanzhong has been the land of Yizhou since ancient times. If that old thief Liu Yan was not deceived by Zhang Lu's mother and gave the land of Hanzhong to Zhang Lu brothers, where did all these people come from? trouble!"

Zhang Song also said: "In other words, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son are just a pair of trash, one gave up the land to outsiders for an old woman, and the other even abandoned his ancestors, and even planned to surrender to the Cao bandit. A guy who is not enough to ruin things!"

Liu Bei said: "These things have already passed, so let's stop talking about it. Let's think about how to take Hanzhong before Cao Ang. Hanzhong is my gateway to Yizhou. Once it falls into the hands of Cao thieves, our situation will be dire. It will be worrying, on the contrary, if we get Hanzhong, then we will be able to deal with Cao's attack with ease!"

Sima Yi said: "I heard that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is becoming more and more addicted to cultivating Taoism. He has rarely participated in government affairs and has already delivered the letter of surrender to Yecheng. Cao Ang's visit this time is nothing more than taking over Hanzhong. It is indeed not easy to obtain Hanzhong!"

Liu Bei: "That's right, that's the reason. That's why I asked everyone to discuss it. In my opinion, it's best for us to fight for it. It's best if we succeed. If we fail, we will only have to expand the border." Soldiers have a choice!"

Chen Daodao: "My lord, since we don't have any advantage in the negotiation, why don't we attack Zhang Lu by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and control Hanzhong in our hands, so Cao Ang is wasting his time in vain?"

Fazheng shook his head and said, "General Chen Dao said it lightly, but it's actually easier said than done. Back then, Liu Zhang had thought about taking Hanzhong by force. On that day, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and family members in the name of Zhang Lu's disobedience. Later, the general Pang Xi was appointed as the prefect of Bajun, trying to regain the ruling power of Berkshire and Hanzhong from Zhang Lu. However, Pang Xi and others sent troops several times but failed to do anything to Zhang Lu. Instead, he was beaten by Zhang Lu and retreated steadily. Helpless, he had no choice but to admit his right to rule Hanzhong. At that time, Zhang Lu’s status in Hanzhong was not half of what it is today. Today, Zhang Lu spreads the Five Dou Rice Religion in Hanzhong. It is no exaggeration to say that seven out of ten people in Hanzhong They are all his believers. Once they use troops against them, they will definitely receive a strong backlash! On the other hand, our army is newly built and has not yet established a firm foothold in Yizhou. Many clans in Yizhou are eyeing us. If we send troops at this time, The chances of winning are almost zero!"

Zhao Yun and others had to secretly praise Fazheng's analysis.

Liu Bei also kept shaking his head and said, "Could it be that there is no other way? Seeing Cao Ang take Hanzhong without a single soldier, I am not reconciled!"

Sima Yi said: "Mr. Xiaozhi's analysis is completely correct. I also think that instead of using troops against Hanzhong, it is better to increase the defense of the border towns. To deal with a giant like Cao Ang, we'd better take it slow. Now our army is recruiting new troops. The few soldiers are still in training, Duke Ming can't mess up his senses just because of a whim!"

Liu Bei sighed and said:

"Hey! Since everyone is against it, then we should suspend the use of troops against Hanzhong and switch to defense. It's sad and deplorable! I don't know when and what month I will be able to rescue Your Majesty from the Cao thief!"

Zhang Song thought for a moment and said: "I heard that when Cao Ang entered Chang'an, he was attacked by assassins, but I don't know who attacked Cao Ang. It's a pity that he didn't succeed. I heard that Cao Ang's belly was cut open and he didn't die. , It’s true that good people don’t live long, and evil people live for thousands of years!”

Chapter 387

Zhao Yun disdainfully said: "Assassination is nothing. Since there is a grudge, it should be fought with real swords and guns. Although Cao thief deserves to die, I don't agree with such an approach!"

Chen Dao also said: "That's right, assassination is such a low-level method, it's really not on the table, and I don't know which prince did it, but I have to say that this assassination operation can be regarded as careful, and the killer is hiding among the people." It's just a pity to miss this excellent opportunity!"

Zhao Yundao: "It's a good thing he didn't succeed, otherwise a certain family would definitely have more regrets. I have heard that Cao Ang is very powerful. Yun Zao wanted to give it a try, but he never met the opportunity, but he didn't know that he rushed to Hanzhong this time. Can the family meet with him for a while!"

Sima Yi didn't say anything, but he already despised the two of them in his heart:

Two foolhardy guys who only know how to act recklessly and don't know how to use their brains at all!

Liu Bei couldn't help being a little frightened when he heard that, he was already a little timid after being beaten by Cao Ang. Now when he thinks of Cao Ang, it is inevitable that there may be shadows in his heart.

"Zilong, I know how brave you are, but Cao Ang is not only superior in force, but also a man who is accustomed to fighting. I think Lu Bu is the number one fierce general in the world, and Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wait, just take out any one of them is a rare and powerful general in this world, but on our side, the manpower is obviously not enough, if we fight with strength, our army will definitely suffer."

Fazheng said: "My lord is right. For the current plan, we can only recruit troops, train new troops as soon as possible, and passively defend. Fortunately, it is winter and the weather is cold and it is difficult to send troops. But if we wait until the spring of next year, Cao Ang will definitely treat me. When Yizhou advances, we can only use the terrain advantage to deal with it, we must not take the initiative to send troops, and when our army is full-fledged, it is not too late to fight against it...!"

Sima Yi kept nodding his head, Fazheng was really good, he said everything he wanted to say, some things he didn't even think of.

At the end, Liu Bei waved his hand in a low mood and said:

"That's how it is, Zilong, you continue to train, Ziqiao, you still contact the aristocratic family and ask them to contribute money and effort. If they don't obey, it's okay to punish them a little!"

Zhang Song was overjoyed when he heard the words, which meant that Liu Bei had delegated power and asked him to deal with the family blatantly.

Although he was also from a family, he did not show any kindness to other clans or families.

Sima Yi thought to himself: Fortunately, I started early, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to drink the soup!

Just as everyone was about to leave, Liu Bei suddenly stopped Sima Yi and said:

"Zhongda, I heard that you have been sending people out to do business recently, I have something to trouble you for!"

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Where did Minggong come from? If it is useful to a certain family, please express it!"

"Haha! Then I won't be courteous to Zhongda. Your people have gone far. By the way, let me know which group of people did the assassination of Cao thief this time!"

Sima Yi thought in his heart: Return the people along the way?Is not their leader right in front of you?

I thought so in my heart, but I immediately agreed on my mouth: "Don't worry, Ming Gong, I will try my best to complete this matter!"

After everyone left, only Zhao Yun did not leave.

Now Zhao Yun not only shoulders the responsibility of training soldiers, but also has the task of being responsible for Liu Bei's personal safety.

This is also helpless, Liu Bei has just become the shepherd of Yizhou, surrounded by some old ministers of Liu Zhang, his own confidants are too few.

Without Zhao Yun's protection by his side, Liu Bei would not feel safe sleeping.

It can be seen how much Liu Bei trusts Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, what do you think of Sima Yi?"

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, are you referring to...?"

"A person whose whole family was killed by Cao Ang should naturally be thinking about how to take revenge, but what about him? He was obsessed with making money, let go of his noble clan status and started a despicable businessman, isn't that a little bit It's hard to figure it out!"

Zhao Yun: "Master, do you suspect that he has another purpose?"

Liu Bei nodded lightly and said, "Yes! Zilong, don't you think there's something strange about it?"

Zhao Yundao: "Zilong is stupid. He didn't think much about it at first, but after being reminded by the lord, he really felt that there must be something hidden in it! I thought it was just the lord who emphasized Fazheng and Zhang Song, and Zhongda felt resentment in his heart, so he went forward. Road to Shang, I really didn’t expect there to be articles in it!”

"Hehe! I'm afraid many people think he thinks so, right?"

"Then what should we do, my lord, should we investigate him secretly!"

"As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to guard against others. It's good to check him, lest he do anything that is not good for us. A person with hatred in his heart can do anything. of!"

Zhao Yun replied: "If this Sima Yi did something wrong to the lord, it would be unreasonable. My lord, you abandoned your family because of him, but he did tricks behind your back. It's really ulterior motives!"

"Zilong, don't make such an early conclusion. What he did may not be detrimental to us, but it's still the same sentence. It is necessary to guard against others. It's better for us to know what to do, Zilong. Ah! There are quite a few people around me now, but you are the only one who can entrust me with important tasks and who can make me feel at ease!"

Zhao Yun was immediately moved when he heard the words, bowed his head and said, "Yun will definitely live up to my lord's trust in Yun!"

"Again! How many times have I told you that when there are no outsiders, you and I are brothers, why are you saluting again?"

Zhao Yun smiled honestly: "Yun wrote it down!"

"..."

Cao Ang rested in Chang'an for more than ten days, and then notified his subordinates to come to his residence for a meeting.

After all, it was almost the end of the year, and in order to be able to go home early to accompany his children, he had to resolve the Hanzhong matter as soon as possible.

Not long after the order was sent out, all the civil servants and military generals who came along this time rushed over.

There is only one civil servant and that is Zhuge Liang.

Among the generals, except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were left in Yecheng by him, the rest of them basically followed if they were not sent abroad.

As for the two of Guan and Zhang, it is also due to the reason, after all, this time there is a high possibility that they will have an intersection with Liu Bei.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked for orders to stay in Yecheng.

Cao Ang also knew what the two of them were thinking, so he didn't embarrass them.

So they were handed over to Cao Cao for management.

After all, in the coming year, troops will be launched against Youzhou and Bingzhou, so they can be called to help Cao Cao.

In addition, in addition to the people brought by Cao Ang, Zhong Yao and Cao Hong also came here to discuss the matter.

When Cao Ang saw that everyone had come together, he said:

"Everyone, how are you resting?"

Chapter 388 Zhang Wei is also

Cao Hongdao: "Zixiu, how is your health? Has your wound healed? I have come to visit you every day these days, but some people don't let me come in to see you!"

While talking, he angrily cast his eyes on Dian Wei who was just like a normal person!

Dian Wei ignored Cao Hong's almost murderous eyes.

snort!My master is having sex with girl Nana, how can I ask you, an old and disrespectful guy, to bother you!

Of course Cao Ang knew that Dian Wei had been of great help in recent days.

It was rare for him to live a life without shame or shame for a few days.

He handed one to Dian Wei: Not bad!After continuing to stare like this in the future, he said to Cao Hong:

"Uncle Zilian, please take care of me, my wound has healed."

Cao Hong said: "That's good, that's good! If you are assassinated in my territory, if you make a mistake, I won't be able to explain it to the master when I go back!"

Cao Ang smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet!"

Immediately, he changed his tone and brought the topic back to business.

"Everyone! Due to some unexpected reasons, we delayed our trip, and now we are fine. I plan to leave for Hanzhong tomorrow and take over the ruling power of Hanzhong completely. Do you have any objections?"

Cao Ang made a decision that even if ten cows could not be brought back, how could everyone have any opinions.

They all expressed that there was no objection.

Only Zhong Yao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "General, I am going to Hanzhong. Although Zhang Lu's words are good, and he surrenders unconditionally, but people are far away from people, and they don't know what to do. We still have to take precautions in advance, in case of emergencies! "

After Cao Hong experienced the assassination of Cao Ang, he also became like a frightened bird.

Hearing what Zhong Yao said, he couldn't help saying: "Yes, Mr. Zhong Yao is right. Otherwise, I don't think you should go, Zixiu. Just ask your subordinates to go down. There is a one in thousands of miles, so we can deal with it." no?"

Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "No need, although I have never met Zhang Lu as a man, I believe he must have sincerely surrendered!"

As a time traveler, Cao Ang naturally spoke with certainty.

Zhang Lu in history also finally surrendered to Cao Cao.

It's just that his arrival changed the course of history and brought this time forward.

In addition, after Liu Bei won Yizhou, he has been eyeing Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu is not a fool, so naturally he already has calculations in his heart.

Either fight Liu Bei to the death, or surrender and admit defeat.

But surrender also has the art of surrender.

On one side is Liu Bei, who has just acquired Yizhou and has yet to gain a stable foothold.

On the other side is the Cao family, a powerful warlord who occupies three-quarters of the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Even a fool would know how to choose.

Therefore, Zhang Lu had no reason to feign surrender.

Lu Bu also came out and said: "My lord, I think what General Zi Lian said has some truth, why don't you ask a certain family to go for you, little Hanzhong, I'm sure I can catch it!"

Zhuge Liang also said: "Yes! My lord, you have just recovered from your injury and it is not easy to travel. The road to Hanzhong is not easy. There are many places where you can't even ride a horse, but it's better to ask your subordinates to do it for you, so as to save you from the bumpy road. bitter!"

Everyone also discouraged.

Cao Ang said: "I already know everyone's good intentions, so I don't need to say more. My intention is already determined. At dawn tomorrow, my army will march into Hanzhong!"

Seeing that Cao Ang insisted on going, everyone had no choice but to silence their drums and say:

"I will obey!"

……

Hanzhong.

Before Yangping Pass.

Cao Ang led 5000 troops and finally arrived here after three days. Only those who have gone through the hardships of this journey will know.

The saying that the road to Shu is harder than going to the blue sky is not for nothing.

On this road, most of them are plank roads built on cliffs, which is very inconvenient for the army to travel.

Some places can only allow one person and one horse to pass through, which makes Cao Ang feel very depressed.
