Xiaoguangong

Perhaps because he could no longer bear Le Jin's cold violence, Cao Pi finally ordered Le Jin to be declared a rebel.

He ordered Cao Ren to go south immediately, and at the same time ordered Huo Jun near Wancheng to either choose to join the war and go south, or choose to be listed as a traitor as well.

In addition, Cao Pi, as the emperor, ordered Cai Hao and Sima Fu to perform their duties as ministers of the Great Wei, and be ready to support the Wei army at any time-this is a little trick Cao Pi came up with following Huan Jie's suggestion.

It is not realistic to expect this person to help one party at a critical moment. It is better to just say that he is ready to jump back at any time. Such a disgusting person is Le Jin.

And Sima Fu.

After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, Sima Fu remained silent. He just wrote a congratulatory form without expressing much joy.

Sima Yi had already told him Yunshan's identity before and asked him to return to the north, but Sima Fu remained silent, neither expressing his opinion nor refusing. Sima Yi said that his younger brother must have been held hostage by Guan Ping's subordinates, and now he can only ask for it on his own. Good luck.

Cao Pi believed Sima Yi easily.

He didn't know that Sima Yi sent an additional letter from home. In the real private letter, Sima Yi used code words to tell his brother that he could do things cheaply.

As for how cheap, I believe the smart brother should be able to understand.

The Cao family and Xiahou's family are both looking for a way out for themselves. The Sima family has been loyal and good for generations, so of course they can't stand by the Cao family's side at this time.

Under such circumstances, Cao Ren and Cao Hong respectively led the Xiongnu soldiers and Xianbei soldiers to the south at high speed, and began to attack Wancheng, which was in the hands of Le Jin before.

Because of Le Jin's arrogance before, Huo Jun has been active around Wancheng, Cao Pi held his nose and assigned all of this place to Le Jin.

In the past two years, Huo Jun has vigorously punished the local tyrants around Wancheng, distributed the land to the people, and called on the people to form local armed forces, and drill soldiers while farming, and the surrounding area is full of prosperity.

Those local tyrants who were driven away were afraid of Huo Jun's military strength, and fled northward to Yuzhou and other places before. Now that Cao Pi launched the Southern Expedition, they naturally joined the army as vanguards, preparing to regain their huge power.

After Huo Jun received Cao Pi's edict, he did not hesitate to put up the banner of rebellion, and called on all the people under his command to fight to the end with Cao Pi's subordinates in order to protect their homeland.

"We are not fighting alone. Behind us, General Le has already broken his face with Cao Pi. Uncle Liu Huang has already occupied Yizhou and is preparing to raise troops. General Yun, who conquered us before, has also broken his face with Cao Pi. Now Cao Pi is already lonely.

He seems to have a lot of troops under his command, but he is actually very weak. As long as we fight to the end, we will never be afraid of any enemy! "

Huo Jun had a resolute attitude before, and he led the people to win many battles, so his prestige was extremely high. When he gave an order, everyone was excited, and they all resolutely threw themselves into the battle. in the end.

Cao Ren and others thought that as long as the army went south to Wancheng, it would be sure to spread the news, but they didn't expect that Huo Jun's subordinates didn't even have regular soldiers on the surface, but they dared to lead the crowd to fight against their elite soldiers.

In a rage, Cao Ren immediately ordered not to disperse, and Cao Hong's army began to move closer together. The two armies joined forces to break through Wancheng first.

In the era of cold weapons, more people are better than fewer people. This is an indisputable fact.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong joined forces, together with nearly [-] elite local local tyrants from the Returning Home Mission, rolled towards Wancheng, the northern gate of Jingzhou, like an extremely strong ancient giant with clenched fists and rounded arms, unstoppable His huge fist seemed to be able to smash Wancheng to pieces in an instant.

In order to deter the defenders of Wancheng, Cao Ren ordered that no one who dared to resist should be left behind. It is even less likely that the Xiongnu and Xianbei armies under their command would know any kindness.

After getting an order from the resisters not to stay, they cheered and disbanded the military discipline directly, and brought all the people around Wancheng into the scope of gangsters. Wancheng fell into a raging fire.

The magistrates who had hoped that Cao Jun would rush to wipe out Huo Jun were all shocked.

They thought that Cao Jun was a heavenly soldier, and asked their family members, relatives and friends to come up with money, food, gifts, food, pots, and milk to welcome Master Wang. They didn't expect that these Xiongnu Xianbei soldiers didn't give face at all, and started looting and looting.

Those local wealthy families who came with gifts were looted and detained on the charge of rebellion and banditry. Those poor Xianbei soldiers even stripped their clothes and blackmailed their families to hand over more property.

This made the members of the Home Returning Group furious and rushed to negotiate with Cao Ren.

Cao Ren also felt that this matter was very wrong, so he quickly responded and asked Cao Hong to deal with it. These ignorant barbarians must be controlled, so as not to cause a fire in the backyard like Yuan Shao did back then.

Cao Hong also complied with this matter. He practiced his serious appearance in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and then Shi Shiran walked into the Xianbei army, and said to those Xianbei people:

"Wait, why are you looting at will? This is a prosperous place in the Central Plains, not where you and other bitter cold barbarians are located!
All I want is rebellious disobedience, if you still dare to hurt the innocent, be careful, you will be the dog's head of the others. "

Everyone in the Xianbei army was still quite afraid of Cao Hong, and everyone bowed down after hearing the words. A mighty and mature Xianbei warrior kowtowed and walked forward, sincerely saying:
"General Cao's lesson is, how can I wait for these barbarians to understand! It's just that the thieves have occupied this place for a long time. If we don't wipe out them one by one, it will be difficult for the general in the future.

These thieves are in the dark, and our army is in the open. If we still have to fight to the end, it will be a disaster for our army. It is better to wipe out the thieves around Wancheng first, make Wancheng an isolated city, and then slowly remove them. "

Cao Hong was furious, pointed at the man's nose and cursed:
"Are you still arguing with me? What kind of barbarians are you? Now, under the tent of the Heavenly Soldiers in the Central Plains, you have to fight your way forward. Do whatever you are asked to do. Hurry up and release all the people you robbed, and give away all the things you robbed." go back.

Dare to propose to me, do you match? "

The Xianbei man was not angry, but kowtowed to Cao Hong more respectfully, and then waved his hands behind him.

The warriors behind him immediately stepped forward and placed more than a dozen wooden boxes in front of Cao Hong.

Cao Hong frowned and said:
"What is this?"

The Xianbei man smiled, and opened a wooden box with his own hands. Cao Hong immediately smelled a strange fragrance, and couldn't help being very surprised:

"What, what is this?"

"When Ma Chao was in rebellion, we followed General Yan Rou to Guanzhong to fight Ma Chao, and later we were rewarded by the emperor to live in the Central Plains.

I and other barbarians don't understand Wang Hua, and frequently cause people to laugh at me, so please take care of me, General.

These things are the spices we found in Guanzhong. Anyway, barbarians like us don't know how to use incense, so it's better to give them to the general.

In addition, I copied the rebels and found a lot of food and cloth. We would not be happy if we returned them to these rebels, but General Cao is our commander-in-chief, and we are like reborn parents. Pay tribute to General Cao, and ask General Cao to take care of us and other barbarians in the future. "

Cao Hong's breathing gradually became heavy, and he suddenly felt that the rough Xianbei man in front of him looked a little delicate.

"This, haha, what I said, how embarrassed I am.

It turned out to be Zi'an's melody, and it really has a bit of loyalty. This gift...Zian is one of my own, I can't take it, if I ask for it, it will look bad in the future. "

Yan Rou is Cao Pi's iron brother, and he has won Cao Pi's trust. It can even be said that Cao Pi's trust in Yan Rou is far greater than that of Cao Hong.

Now this Xianbei man brought up his relationship with Yan Rou, and took the initiative to give money. Of course, Cao Hong couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, repeatedly pushing back.

Seeing Cao Hong push back, the Xianbei man said humbly:
"When we wait for the barbarians to come to the Central Plains, if we don't have a general, it's like a baby without parents. If the general doesn't accept us, how can we make good use of our soldiers? Please, general, don't refuse!"

Cao Hong laughed so hard that his mouth was crooked, he quickly helped the man up, and said happily:

"Oh, then, then I will accept it first. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you in the future, just come to me."

"Then I would like to thank General Cao for his great kindness."

"Don't be polite! They are all our own people.

By the way, what's your name? "

"The young one's name is Ke Bineng, and the humble name is insulting to the general!"
