Xiaoguangong

Chapter 172 It seems that there is still a military division

Seeing that both Yunshan and Cai Mao came with their troops, Cao Pi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little awkward with Yunshan before, but Yunshan went out of his way to lead his troops to support. Cao Pi's face was full of joy, and he hurried forward to help the two of them, and said excitedly:

"It's Cao Pi's great fortune that the two brothers actually led the army to help!"

Cai Mao smiled bitterly and said:
"It's fine for you to call the old man to help, why did you have to frankly come all the way? Fortunately, General Le is willing to cooperate. He has written a letter to the prime minister saying that he mobilized the army, otherwise it will be another disaster."

Guan Ping smiled and waved his hands:
"What about Mr. Cai? I originally had an army stationed in Fancheng, so it was only natural for me to lead the army to my own station.

It is also the way of a minister to come to help the young master in the battle to eliminate the traitors. "

The way of being a minister...

This is really nice to say.

Cao Pi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he kept nodding.

Not far away, Cao Zhi looked at his brother with disdain, but he still stepped forward to salute Cao Pi with a pleasant face.

Seeing that the muscles on his younger brother's face were also stiff, Cao Pi forced a smile, and excitedly stepped forward and took Cao Zhi's hand to greet him.

Seeing the appearance of this brother and friend Gong, Guan Ping couldn't help feeling chills.

Well, I also have a younger brother, so I hope it won't be like this in the future.

Without goingssip, they soon described the current situation.

Ma Su pulled out the map and vividly described Huo Jun's current evil deeds——

These people originally occupied Feishui and colluded with the local bandits. After the arrival of Master Zihuan, they were quickly wiped out. Huo Jun had no choice but to go north. However, the government army near Wancheng was unfavorable, and instead paid a huge loss. Now Huo Jun has sat down. It is said that it has more than 3000 people, and it is no longer waiting for idlers to eliminate it. This requires Cai Mao and Guan Ping to work together to suppress it.

Guan Ping and Cai Mao looked at each other, and it was Cai Mao who took the lead, beating his chest and stamping his feet vigorously, and sighed:
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault.

This kid Zhong Miao was originally my subordinate. Before his death, his elder brother asked me to take care of him. I didn't expect him to go astray!
It's all my fault, it's all my fault. "

He howled for a long time without shedding a single tear, and could only snort, and said seriously:

"I thought that the kid Zhong Miao didn't have such courage. He must have been brought on by bad guys, and that's why he became like this."

"Oh?" Cao Pi's chubby face was full of confusion, "What does Mr. Cai mean?"

Cai Mao's face was full of worry, and he said slowly:
"Someone thought that it would not be difficult to get Zhong Miao off anyway, but it would not be easy to catch all the thieves in one go.

Right now our army is not strong enough, why not move forward slowly from south to north, and then ask the prime minister to order the general to go south slowly, so that the north and south will advance, and slowly compress the area under the jurisdiction of the rebellious army.

The rebellious army is forced, and the thieves are heading south to break through, so that our army can gain the upper hand, and the Central Plains will not be disturbed. Great things can happen! "

Cai Mao's method is not a subtle method, but what he said is quite in line with Cao Pi's intentions.

Firstly, Cao Pi didn't want Chang Diao to see through his self-respect for raising bandits, and secondly, he didn't want Huo Jun to completely turn against him and go to the Central Plains to talk nonsense.

As the north and south face each other, it is best to rely on huge pressure to force Huo Jun to surrender. If he is unwilling to surrender, block Ye County, Funiu Mountain and other places to prevent him from fleeing north.

If he fled to the south... Hey, that's fine, Cao Pi is still happy to see him continue to go south, and when the time comes to form a bandit, he can continue to attack in the name of suppressing bandits.

His abacus jingled, and then said:
"You don't need to tell your father, all you need is for me to write a letter to Yu Jin."

Cai Mao hurriedly stopped:

"My lord, it's not that I'm too old to talk too much—it's already quite inappropriate for my lord to transfer Tanzhi to the north.

The young master is just another Sima under General Le's command, so the so-called name is not right, and the words are not right, which will inevitably attract criticism.

Besides, the old man had a little misunderstanding with the prime minister before, if the prime minister knew that it was the old man who came up with the idea, he might have to mutter in his heart again, which would not be beautiful.

Why don't you tell the prime minister honestly about this matter, so that the prime minister knows that my whole heart is to wipe out the gangsters and revive the Han Dynasty, so as to avoid any mistakes in the future. "

Cao Pi showed a look of sudden realization, and hurriedly took a step back, bowed and saluted, with a sincere expression on his face:

"If it wasn't for Mr. Cai's faithful words, I would have almost missed a major event."

Cai Mao smiled and said sincerely: "Cai Mao didn't know the destiny before, but now he is old, he just wants to live in Nanyang for the elderly, and temporarily save a useful body to serve the Han Dynasty. The son is very handsome, and he looks like a master. Naturally, Cai Mao has to do his best Assistant, you must not make things difficult for the young master."

Cao Pi had never suffered from Cai Mao, and he really thought that Cai Mao was confiding in him, so he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly wrote a letter.

Three days later, the letter appeared on Cao Cao's desk in Xudu. Cao Cao read the letter carefully for a long time, but he didn't dare to make up his mind for a while, so he had to invite everyone to discuss it as usual.

Cao Cao's master secretary, Yang Xiu, took the letter in a hurry, causing Wang Bi, who was supposed to be the first to receive the letter, to show a bit of astonishment and dissatisfaction. Sima Yi saw it in his eyes and was speechless, thinking that Yang Xiu's madness was boundless.

Yang Xiu didn't care. After reading the letter, his face paled:
"Prime Minister, it's a trivial matter to suppress thieves, why do you want to mobilize Yunshan? This is obviously because Cai Mao doesn't want to contribute!"

Cao Cao was noncommittal, and said in a deep voice:

"What's your opinion?"

"I don't dare to have a high opinion." Yang Xiu said modestly, "But I think it's quite inappropriate to summon Yunshan."

Yunshan had slapped Yang Xiu in the face severely before, and Yang Xiu hadn't recovered from the beating for several days. He always felt that all the counselors in the prime minister's mansion looked at him with a bit of sneer and teasing in their eyes, and they were quite annoyed.

There are thieves in Wancheng, and Yunshan can't wait to conquer them.

"Sure or not, you have to read all the military newspapers first. Are you the master secretary, so arrogant and frivolous, making random decisions when you don't know everything?" Wang Bi said with a gloomy face.

It was only then that Yang Xiu realized that he had more than one military newspaper in his hand. He hurriedly opened the other copies and read them one by one. The expression on his face suddenly became rather ugly.

"This this……"

The procedures for Yunshan's attack were complete.

He was invited by Cao Pi and Cai Mao, and received an attack order from Le Jin. After arriving in Fancheng, he did not make any further offensive moves, but waited for Cao Cao's order first.

This procedure is absolutely correct, but it shows that Yunshan knows how to behave and do things, and he is unwilling to offend the superior or violate the law.

Yang Xiu looked and looked unwillingly, and could only nod helplessly and said:

"I blamed General Yun wrongly."

Cao Cao snorted and cast his eyes on Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, Cai Mao asked Wen Ze to mobilize, march north and south, and surround the rebels. What do you think?"

Sima Yi snatched the military newspaper from Yang Xiu, read it carefully, nodded first, then shook his head:

"I think this matter... is okay. But there is a problem, and I ask the prime minister to think twice-who should take the lead in coordinating when the two armies are advancing against each other?"

Wancheng is the northern gate of Jingzhou, and it is theoretically under the jurisdiction of Lejin.

At the same time, Wancheng also belongs to Nanyang County, so it stands to reason that Cai Mao can also manage it.

But Yu Jin is Cao Cao's confidant general, he can be called the leader of all generals with foreign surnames, and now he is responsible for the central management of Wancheng, so it's enough to save face for Le Jin, Cai Mao and Yun Shan really have no way to command him.

"So, De Gui is really quite vigilant."

Cao Cao once again changed the name of Cai Mao to "Degui", which shows that Cai Mao has done something that satisfied Cao Cao this time.

He thought over and over again, and asked Sima Yi again:
"Who do you think should be the leader?"

Sima Yi bowed down and bowed:
"Someone thinks that Prince Zihuan should be the governor of the army, temporarily supervise Tanzhi and Wen Ze, and then discuss with Cai Degui how to advance..."

Sima Yi wanted to continue, but Yang Xiu jumped out and said loudly:
"You must not! Although Mr. Zihuan has a noble status, he is now a Sima under Le Wenqian's subordinates. He hastily defended the two armies. I am afraid that Yunshan and Yujin will not accept it, and let some treacherous people get it wrong. Prime Minister, please think twice."

Of course Cao Cao understood what Yang Xiu meant.

Cao Cao is not the emperor, so it's okay for his own government official to lead the army, and his son Yi Lejin's other Sima Governor led the army is too disgusting, I'm afraid all the generals of the Cao family will be dissatisfied.

It is also possible to temporarily add a military adviser or prefect to the son, but this will undoubtedly send a wrong signal, making people think that Cao Cao's heir has been appointed by default, and it is not right to cancel it later, or not to cancel it.

above.

He hesitated for a long time, thinking that the governor of Yunshan, Yu Jin, would definitely not accept it, and the governor of Yunshan, Lejin Cai Mao, would definitely not accept it. The governor Cai Mao was afraid that there would be a catastrophe, and the governor Le Jin might be taken advantage of by Sun Liu when he went north.

So annoying, so annoying, why everything is so difficult.

Yang Xiu and Sima Yi looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of killing intent in each other's eyes.

They each support Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, and now the fighting between open and secret has entered a fever pitch. Whoever ascends to the position of Cao Cao will be purged of the power of the other side, let alone give in at this moment.

Cao Zhi's evaluation of Yunshan is very good, but Ding Yi's evaluation of Yunshan is extremely bad, saying that this man is ambitious and only uses his charisma to deceive the son, and he may become a catastrophe in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu was even more unwilling that Yunshan could succeed.

Well, when you think about it carefully, Yunshan and Cai Mao are nothing. It would be nice if they could defeat Cao Pi.

How powerful a group of thieves can be, no matter how stupid Yu Jin is, can't he still be unable to defend Wancheng?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu suddenly had an idea.

"Since it was a common practice for the prime minister's mansion to lead the army in the past, there is no need to break the rule this time—has the prime minister forgotten that there is another military officer offering wine in Wancheng now, why doesn't the prime minister use him as the general to supervise the three armies? It's justified!"
