Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

After all, in war, casualties belong to both sides. If there are too many casualties in Xiaopei, it will affect Xuzhou instead.If the Qin army planned to place the main battlefield in Xuzhou, it seemed reasonable for Chen Qingzhi not to come to support him.

On the battlefield, Cao Ren couldn't afford to think so much.Regardless of Qin Jun's intentions, he had to take Xiaopei, and Xuzhou naturally had to take it too.

Once he takes Xiaopei, the Shu army in Xiling will also attack.At that time, under the attack from both sides, the Qin army must be attacked from both sides.

It is a national policy for Wei and Shu to join forces to destroy Qin.The Qin army is too strong, and the speed of development is frightening. If it continues to develop for the Qin army, I am afraid that when the Wei and Shu countries work together, they may not be the opponent of the Great Qin.

"Pass down the order and attack at all costs."

"The faster we fight here, the more we will have peace of mind on the side of Shu." Cao Ren instructed his generals.

Chapter 529 False defeat and evacuate

Today, the Shu Kingdom is still watching, and even the Shu Kingdom has a meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. They want Cao Wei to test the strength of the Qin Army.

The easier it is for Cao Wei to fight, the more confident Shu will be. If Cao Wei plays out the situation where Zhuo County was defeated in two hours, then the troops of Shu will definitely withdraw to Bashu as soon as possible. .

The state of Shu is different from the state of Wei. The border between the state of Wei and the state of Qin is too large. The development of the state of Qin is tantamount to sucking the blood of the state of Wei.

However, the country of Shu is remote, and even where it borders the country of Qin, there are mostly endless mountains and hills.Therefore, facing Qin State, Shu State has a buffer zone, but Wei State does not.

Under such circumstances, speaking of it, this time the two countries joined forces to fight against Qin, it is inevitable that Wei State will show its momentum first, and then Shu State will take action.

Since the war started, it will not stop easily. In the blink of an eye, the attack has continued from morning to noon.

In Haoyang at noon, big pots were boiling on the city wall of Xiaopei. Yellow bubbles were bubbling in these big pots. These were golden juices.

What is golden juice, to put it bluntly, is boiled excrement, which is a collection of various feces, human urine, and horse urine.

When the enemy army came to attack, the sourness was unbelievable.It can be said that golden juice is the most practical weapon for defending the city in ancient times.

In ancient times, when soldiers attacked a city, they all wore armor and held a round shield in front of them.Therefore, no matter whether it is the return of the bow and arrow, or the thunder stone rolling the wood, he cannot compare with Jinzhi in terms of lethality.

After the golden juice is poured on the body, it will flow into the human body from the gaps in the armor leaves.Under this huge high temperature, the human body will stick to the nail leaf.

The most important thing is the scald caused by this high temperature and the bacterial infection caused by feces. For the medical skills of this era, it can basically be declared dead.

Under the city, a full 50 Cao troops were attacking in turn, and each round of attacking Cao troops was a full [-], leaving no time for the Qin army to rest at all.

After Cao Hong discovered that the support of the Qin army was not in Xiaopei, he immediately designated this evacuation.They have 50 people who can take turns to eat and rest, but they don't give Qin Jun a chance to rest.

"Kill, kill."

"Kill, kill."

Sure enough, it was less than a stick of incense before the last wave of attack, Cao Jun attacked again, looking at the densely packed enemy army under the city, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel a little pressure.

According to Zhang Liao's plan, he wanted to evacuate Xiaopei at night while the army suffered few casualties.But looking at it now, it is difficult for Cao Jun's onslaught at all costs to guarantee the casualties of the army.

However, at this time, I can't control so much. It is easy to be bitten by Cao Jun's tail when evacuating during the day, so I have to wait until night to evacuate anyway.

"Fire arrows."

"shoot!"

The Qin army's attack hard crossbow roared wildly, and the arrows came overwhelmingly like locusts.

The soldiers of Cao Jun held their shields and carried the ladder towards the city wall of Xiaopei. The ladder was built on the city wall, followed by thunder stones and rolling logs, and finally golden juice.

Although Cao Jun attacked fiercely, under Qin Jun's three axes, he couldn't get any benefits.

After continuing the onslaught for a few rounds, the sky became completely dark.

Cao's army camp.

Under the flag of the Chinese Army.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops. We can start attacking tomorrow morning. We still use this method. If the Qin army has no reinforcements in three days, they can take Xiaopei in at most three days!" Cao Ren ordered.

Unless it is a last resort, it is not easy to attack at night.The attacking side is at a disadvantage, and it is even more disadvantageous to attack the city at night.

Moreover, it is relatively difficult to pass orders at night, and chaos is prone to occur.Moreover, the soldiers are also prone to resistance.

"Dang, dang, dang."

With the sound of Mingjin coming from Cao Ying's side, Cao Jun who was attacking receded like a tide.

After the two sides temporarily died down, Cao Jun also withdrew his troops and returned to the camp to rest.

That night.

It's the third watch.

Cao Ren was already asleep.

"Report, report to the general that there is a fire in Xiaopei City!" Cao Jun's scouts came in a hurry and woke Cao Ren up from his dream.

After Cao Ren woke up, he quickly put on his armor and walked out of the camp. At this time, Brother Xiahou also hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the camp.

After Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers came outside the camp, they led a troop of cavalry to Xiaopei city.

At this time, the whole of Xiaopei was already burning with raging flames, and a heat wave could be felt from a distance of more than ten feet.

At this time, there was no one in Xiaopei City, and there was still fire everywhere except fire.

"Withdrawal?" Cao Ren looked at the fire in Xiaopei City and asked in a deep voice.

The purpose of Qin Jun's fire is obvious, that is to stop the enemy and stop their pursuit.Now, Xiaopei's fire may not be able to burn out in three days and three nights. The fire is burning, and Cao Jun will not be able to pursue it unless he has wings.

If they waited until the fire was extinguished and pursued, Zhang Liao would have led his army back to Xuzhou City.

Although I don't understand why the Qin army withdrew so simply, it is absolutely true that the Qin army withdrew, and it can be regarded as they beat Xiaopei down.

"You can send the news to the king of Wei, and say that our army has captured Xiaopei in a day. After a few days of rest, we will send troops to Xuzhou." Cao Ren ordered the army in Chinese.

Saying that it was a few days of rest was for the sake of sounding good, but in fact, it was because Xiaopei was on fire and they couldn't get through.

You must know that among the ministers of Wei State, many people are opposed to Cao Cao and Liu Bei's joint military strategy.

Many conservative ministers believe that now the three pillars stand together and the world is stable is the best ending.

Why do you have nothing to tease Li Chen when you have nothing to do? The last time Cao Cao teased Li Chen, he was defeated in Zhuo County in two hours, and now you are here again, your scars are so healed that you forget the pain.

In the court of Wei State, it can be said that there were oppositions one after another. Fortunately, some ministers led by Guo Jia and Cheng Yu believed that if they did not send troops to attack Qin, there would be no chance to send troops to attack Qin again.

With the support of these radical ministers, especially the military adviser Guo Jia, Cao Cao was able to send troops.

In fact, Guo Jia knew that his life was not long.Before he died, he had to find a way to solve Da Qin's confidant trouble for King Wei.

Guo Jia knew in his heart that if he died, then there would be no one in Wei Guo who could be Liu Bowen and Jia Xu's opponent.

Cao Ren sent someone to deliver the good news, just to tell the ministers who opposed it.At the beginning, the Qin army was able to defeat our Zhuo County in two hours, and today I, Cao Ren, can defeat Xiaopei in one day.

Chapter 5 Thirty Cao Wei's Internal Contradictions

When fighting against Qin, Cao Cao actually didn't have a bottom line in his heart.

After all, the fact that the Qin army broke Zhuojun in two hours is still vivid in my mind. If the Qin and Wei dynasties started the war and staged this scene at one time, then it can be expected that Cao Cao will inevitably face verbal criticism from many ministers.

The most important thing is that there are many ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty in the court, who always stand against Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao makes any mistakes, they will inevitably bring up the topic of returning power to the emperor.

Cao Cao planned to coerce the emperor to make the princes, but Li Mu used a trick to make the king mess up the world.

Since then, the emperor of Han has been in the hands of Cao Cao, and he has become a tasteless one. It can be said that it is a pity that the food is tasteless and discarded.

If you want to say that he is useless, occasionally an imperial decree or something in the name of the emperor can still occupy the righteousness.But if you say that he is useful, the little emperor will cause chaos inside himself from time to time.

No, it is no longer possible to call him a little emperor.

When Cao Cao was the emperor, Han Emperor Liu Xie was a little emperor.It has been more than ten years since Cao Cao was the emperor, and the little emperor has grown up.

At that time, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was only a teenager, and he was still a half-grown child who didn't understand anything.But now Liu Xie may be in his 20s. Although he can only be at the mercy of Cao Cao, he is no longer willing to be at the mercy of Cao Cao.

In addition, when Cao Cao was cooperating with the emperor, he not only held hostage the emperor, but also held hostage a group of veterans who were loyal and loyal to the Han Dynasty.

In recent years, these ministers have contributed a lot to Cao Cao. In terms of governing the country, with the help of these veterans of the Han Dynasty, Wei Guo has prospered.

However, as the emperor got older, the thoughts that these people shouldn't have in their hearts naturally became stronger and stronger.

In the court, many people have proposed many times that Cao Cao should return the government to the emperor, so that Cao Cao will control the military power and the emperor will control the political power.

However, now that this kind of power is in hand, the military and government have been grasping it for a long time, and Cao Cao may return his rights to the emperor.

Maybe Cao Cao was indeed a loyal minister when he was young, but power can corrupt people's hearts the most. As time goes by, Cao Cao is no longer the boy he was at the beginning.

It is precisely because of these internal hidden dangers that Cao Cao sent troops to attack Qin, but there were actually many obstacles.

Especially these ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty, they follow the idea that if they don't make mistakes, they will make meritorious deeds.He only wants stability and strongly opposes Cao Cao's attack on Qin.

Of course, for these ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty, there is a reason to oppose the defeat of Qin.

First of all, whether Cao Cao's attack on Qin was successful or failed, it was not good for the Han Dynasty.

First of all, if Cao Cao failed to attack Qin and Li Chen defeated Cao Cao, then how would Qin King Li Chen treat Emperor Han? Can he still recognize Emperor Han?Recognize the court of the Han Dynasty?All this is an unknown.

If Cao Cao wins the battle against Qin, he will annex the power of Qin Wang Li Chen.Then Cao Cao's power has increased greatly. Will Cao Cao's mind change by then? If Cao Cao's mind changes and he wants to take a step closer, what will happen then?

It is precisely because, for these ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty, Wei Guo's attack on Qin, whether it is victory or defeat, is not good for the Han Dynasty, so they are so opposed.

There are hidden dangers inside and strong enemies outside. Cao Cao knew that his development environment was far from as good as that of Daqin, so this made Cao Cao firm in his belief in defeating Qin.

Even if Shu defeated Qin, as long as Qin, the biggest opponent, was destroyed, the mere Shu would not be regarded by Cao Cao.

Similarly, Liu Bei also thought so at this time.Even Wei's defeat of Qin is the best for Shu.

Because, the Kingdom of Shu still has the strength to fight against the Kingdom of Wei, but it must not be an opponent when facing the Kingdom of Qin.

It is precisely because of these many reasons that this contributed to the alliance between Wei and Shu.

Weidi, Xuchang.

"Report..."

"Great news, great victory, great victory at the front..."

A fast horse galloped into the city of Xudu, and the messenger sent by Cao Ren roared hoarsely.

Good news!

Good news!

In an instant, the people all the way knew that there was a good news from the front line.Now, the state of Wei is at war with the state of Qin. Since it is a good news from the front line, it means that their state of Wei has won the battle on the front line!

The war with Qiang Qin caused not only panic among the ruling and opposition parties of Wei State, but also panic among the people of Wei State.

After all, it has only been less than ten years since they finally settled down, and they are at war with Qiang Qin again. If they lose, Wei Guo may be in trouble again.

Many people who are old still remember the time when the princes of the world were fighting. At that time, you beat me today and I beat you tomorrow. It was like a pot of porridge.

Now that the good news came from the front line, it shocked everyone.

Naturally, Cao Ren deliberately ordered his subordinates to repay the victory in this way. In this way, the common people can be excited, and it can also tell those Han ministers who opposed the war that Lao Tzu Cao Ren can also win the battle.

Xudu, Wei Palace.

"Ha ha!"

"Everyone, did you see that? Zixiao captured Xiaopei, an important town in Qin, in one day, and Zhang Liao fled to the wind."

"This Liao is a general of the Qin army, but he is not an opponent of my family's Zixiao. From this, it can be seen that my general of the Cao family army is sharp?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Cao Cao was so high-spirited and proud at this time!Among these ministers, there are quite a few who objected to sending troops by themselves, and this time, they will be severely slapped in the face.

What saddened Cao Cao the most was that Xun Yu, who he used quite a lot, flirted with these Han ministers all day long, and even secretly supported him in returning power to the Han Emperor at certain times.

Now that he has won the battle on the front line, as long as he defeats Qin Wang Li Chen, his prestige of Cao Cao will reach its peak. It is expected that these people will not be able to cause a big storm.

"The king of Wei and the king of Qin have been busy developing the economy and the people's livelihood these years. It seems that the army has neglected to develop!" Cheng Yu said.

"Ahem!" At this time, the military adviser Guo Jia also stood up and said: "The reason why the Qin army was strong back then was because the place where King Qin started his family was Xuzhou, and Xuzhou was the place where the Fourth World War was fought. The elite soldiers who have fought out a hundred battles."

"However, it is different now. The land of Qin is located in the south, and there is not much fighting in the south. The original Qin army is probably old, and the newly recruited Qin army has never experienced major battles. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army has declined. , that was to be expected.”

"And our Wei State occupies Youzhou and Bingzhou, and has fought with various ethnic groups in the grassland from time to time these years. Therefore, compared with Qin State, our Wei State's soldiers and horses have experienced some wars."
