Mi Han

Chapter 283 The Strong Wind Has Blown, Liu Jia Sighs
Although he was furious, Cao Pi did not directly order Zhang Liao to lead his army to attack.

Because although Zhang Liao now has [-] powerful Cao Wei Zhongjun in his hands, compared with the [-] Han army outside Fancheng, there is still a big gap in numbers.

Cao Pi wanted Zhang Liao to take the initiative to attack, because he wanted Zhang Liao to avenge his defeat of the Han army, not to give the enemy a big victory for nothing.

And no matter how ignorant Cao Pi is in military strategy, he also knows that if he wants to defeat the opponent head-on in the field, then his own troops should at least not be weaker than the enemy.

So in order to accomplish the purpose in his heart, the first edict issued by Cao Pi was to call Cao Weihu generals from all over the country to come.

And Cao Pi's second edict was to let Zhu Shuo, the leader of the Central Committee, lead [-] foreign troops gathered from all over the country to rush southward.

When Cao Pi personally conquered before, he brought an army of 20 from Luoyang, claiming [-].

Although not all of the [-] troops were Cao Wei's central army, only about [-] of them were.

But later, under the constant urging of Emperor Cao Pi's edict, the Wei army gathered inside and outside Wancheng had already exceeded hundreds of thousands.

And among the tens of thousands of troops, there are close to one hundred thousand soldiers alone.

This is the strength of Cao Wei who is proud of the world.

This is also the biggest capital that Cao Pi can fight this battle willfully.

Originally, there were [-] Chinese troops in Wancheng, but the [-] Cao Wei Zhongjun was taken away by Zhang Liao under the order of Cao Pi, so there are only [-] Cao Wei Zhongjun in Wancheng.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Cao Wei Zhongjun is the highest among the northern armies.

So according to common sense, Cao Pi should let Zhu Shuo lead the other [-] Cao Wei Zhongjun to go south.

It's just that the Cao Wei Zhongjun is the greatest confidence that Cao Cao left for Cao Pi to deter Cao Pi and protect the Cao family.

No matter how stupid and angry Cao Pi was, it was impossible for him to send out all the Chinese troops around him, so that he could be surrounded by a group of local troops.

As for the [-] foreign troops that Zhu Shuo led to the south, their predecessors were originally the Chinese army that Cao Cao stayed in the area during his lifetime, so the combat effectiveness of these [-] foreign troops is not bad.

For a head-on confrontation, it is enough to use them against the Han army outside Fancheng.

What's more, even if the battle is unfavorable, Wancheng still has tens of thousands of Wei troops as backing.

And when Zhu Shuo led his army to leave Wancheng, the time had quietly entered the first month of the second year of Han Zhangwu.

Originally, New Year's Day is the most important festival for the Chinese nation, especially for Cao Pi, who is the emperor, on this day he will have a banquet for all the ministers to start a court meeting.

And this kind of etiquette used to be an aspect that Cao Pi attached great importance to.

It's just that after that incident, Cao Pi obviously didn't have the mood to celebrate.

Cao Pi didn't want to celebrate, and his ministers didn't even dare to mention New Year's Day.

During this period of time, even if the ministers in Wancheng didn't want the Wei army to fight in their hearts, they could only rack their brains at this time to think about how to defeat the Han army for Cao Pi.

Bao Xun's blood is still in the main hall where the affairs are being discussed, and has not been washed away.

Wancheng, which was supposed to be filled with joy and laughter because of January, has a very depressed atmosphere during this time.

Even during this period of time, the weather above Wancheng has been overcast and cloudy, and the dark clouds are so overwhelming that the people in the city are almost suffocating.

Now all the ministers of Cao Wei in Wancheng are very envious of Zhu Shuo who led the army to the south, at least he doesn't have to worry about it in a frightened environment.

Under Cao Pi's high-pressure urging, many edicts were issued from Wancheng and quickly sent to the Quartet. Those edicts were issued to Cao Wei's famous generals who had been in command for many years.

Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are enemies of ten thousand people. The quality is not enough, and the quantity is enough. This is what Cao Pi thinks now.

And just when the whole Wancheng was busy because of Cao Pi's anger, an old man in a brocade suit slowly climbed to the top of Wancheng.

This old man was Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who were serving as servants of the Great Wei at that time.

Liu Ye looked at the various messengers running out of the city gate below, and his eyes that seemed to be able to see through the world were faintly shining with worry.

Finally, Liu Ye sighed helplessly, and he looked at the dark clouds in the sky that seemed to be pressing down on the city under his feet.

The sky was overcast, and there was no sunlight at all.

At this time, a gust of wind blew across the city wall, lifting the hair on Liu Ye's back, and Liu Ye, who felt his own hair fluttering in the wind, stretched out his hand to feel the sudden cold wind blowing between heaven and earth.

And with the passage of time, the cold wind in the world in Wancheng is becoming faster and faster.

"In this world, the wind has blown."

"How long can the dark clouds cover the sun?"

Liu Ye, who was aware of this scene, expressed his inference as if talking to himself.

Cao Wei has the most talented people. After many talented people have passed away one after another, Jia Xu is now recognized as the most wise man in Cao Wei.

But what the world doesn't know is that Jia Xu, who is recognized as the number one wise man in Cao Wei, has a lot of admiration in his heart, and that person is Liu Ye.

"Designed by Wei Wei, sitting for thousands of miles, Huainan Zi Yang also."

After Liu Ye said that inference, he laughed at himself like a self-deprecating one.

Since Huan Ling, when has the wind in the world stopped?

Originally, Liu Ye thought that with the passing away of many heroes and talents, the world would be stable for a while.

But thinking about it now, as long as there are people in the world, the bloody cold wind will never stop.

Having figured this out, Liu Ye let out a heavy sigh.

Because of anger, the teacher was promoted, and the son did it!

As Cao Pi's friend and confidant minister, Zhu Shuo certainly knew how angry Cao Pi was now.

So after Cao Pi's edict was issued, he led the assembled [-] Wei army and quickly moved towards Yancheng.

When Zhang Liao led the 20 Cao Wei Zhongjun to the south, it took almost [-] days.

However, under the leadership of Zhu Shuo, the [-] Wei army traveled twice and traveled, and within ten days they had already arrived outside Yancheng.

Because Zhu Shuo suddenly led the army to the south, Zhang Liao only got the news from the scouts when Zhu Shuo arrived not far from Yancheng.

After learning the news, Zhang Liao and Du Xi looked at each other worriedly.

The two of them are not far from Fancheng, how could they not know about the matter that has already caused a commotion in Nanyang County?
After they knew Mi Yang's trick before, they were very worried that Cao Pi would be angry and start his army.

However, they still have some hope in their hearts. They hope that the ministers and ministers in Wancheng can dissuade Cao Pi.

But it is a pity that with the arrival of [-] Wei troops led by Zhu Shuo, the glimmer of hope in their hearts has been quietly shattered.

After Zhu Shuo led the army to the outside of Yancheng, he ordered the army under his command to set up camp next to Zhang Liao's camp, and then he went straight to Zhang Liao's camp to read Cao Pi's imperial edict.

In the imperial decree brought by Zhu Shuo, Cao Pi still appointed Zhang Liao as the chief general of the [-] Wei army, but he changed Zhang Liao's combat mission from guarding Fancheng to defeating the Han army outside Fancheng.

Well, it's a rout, not a knockback.

After Zhu Shuo finished reading the contents of the imperial decree, Zhu Shuo asked Zhang Liao to accept the order, but some hesitation appeared on Zhang Liao's face.

He didn't get up immediately to accept the order.

But just when Zhang Liao hesitated, Du Xi, who was behind Zhang Liao, pushed Zhang Liao and motioned him to accept the order quickly.

After being pushed back by Du Xi, Zhang Liao just recovered from his hesitation. Finally, he gritted his teeth secretly and stepped forward to take Cao Pi's imperial edict from Zhu Shuo.

Although Cao Pi's imperial decree was written in fine silk script, when the imperial decree fell into Zhang Liao's hands, he only felt a heavy feeling in his hands.

Why chaos?

This is.

Just before receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Liao thought about writing a letter to Cao Pi to persuade him.

But when he thought that so many ministers in Wancheng could not dissuade Cao Pi, and he himself, a general with a sensitive identity, although he was very favored on the surface, how could he actually persuade Cao Pi?

Cao Pi is not Cao Cao after all.

Cao Cao would not be too fond of him, but he has far-reaching knowledge and can clearly distinguish whether his advice is good or bad.

As for today, it can be seen from today's performance that it does not have this characteristic.

In this case, perhaps after he made remonstrance, it is likely to arouse Cao Pi's further anger, so he changed his general.

Now that Cao Pi has decided to send troops to fight the Han army, no matter how unwilling they are as courtiers, they can only do so in the end.

In the big tent lined with many generals, Zhang Liao held Cao Pi's imperial decree tightly in his hands with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had accepted Cao Pi's imperial edict, Zhu Shuo came to stand under Zhang Liao. From the moment Zhang Liao accepted Cao Pi's new order, he also became a subordinate of Zhang Liao.

"The order will go on, the whole army will step up their drills and set off soon."

Cao Pi gave Zhang Liao a new order, although it was to defeat the Han army outside Fancheng.

However, Cao Pi also stated in the imperial decree that he has urgently dispatched a group of generals to help out.

So what Zhang Liao had to do in a short period of time was to intensify the training of the [-] troops under his command so that they could return to their wartime state as soon as possible.

When Zhang Liao's order spread throughout the big tent, all the generals in the big tent bowed to Zhang Liao one after another:
"only!"

At this moment, in the distant palace city of Luoyang, Cao Rui, who had just been made the Duke of Qi by Cao Pi, was listening to the teachings of an old man opposite him in his bedroom.

This old man was Jia Xu who had just been appointed as Qi Gong Fu by Cao Pi.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Rui who was sitting across from him and listened carefully, the admiration in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Jia Xu had never given Cao Pi this kind of admiring look before.

Among Cao Pi's living sons, only Cao Rui passed the ten-year-old barrier.

In addition, Cao Rui is Cao Pi's eldest son, so the meaning of Cao Pi's making Cao Rui the Duke of Qi is well known.

His name is Duke Qi, but he is actually a prince.

Before teaching Cao Rui, Jia Xu knew through daily observation that Cao Rui is an extraordinary person.

If you want an analogy, Cao Rui can be compared with Cao Cao in terms of vision.

But after actually starting to teach Cao Rui, Jia Xu discovered that the surprise Cao Rui gave him was far more than that.

It may be because of talent, or it may be because of being taught by Cao Cao since childhood, so Cao Rui is very similar to Emperor Wu Cao Cao in terms of knowledge and style.

Even though due to his age and experience, Cao Rui can't reach the height when Emperor Wu was alive, but this shows that Cao Rui is worthy of accomplishment.

Jia Xu considered himself a famous teacher, and as a famous teacher, he was able to teach a high-level student, which was also something he was quite happy about.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Rui and asked, "Recently there have been many troubles in Nanyang, some people think that Fancheng is near the Han River, so it's not easy to defend, but it's easy for the enemy to attack.

So they suggested that His Majesty abandon Fancheng and shrink the defense line to stick to it. How does Duke Qi view this matter? "

Jia Xu knew that Cao Pi asked him to be Cao Rui's master, not to teach Cao Rui classics and classics. There are too many such masters Cao Rui, and Cao Pi asked him to teach Cao Rui the way of wisdom.

Therefore, Jia Xu's teaching has always been to ask Cao Rui about current affairs, and teach him through this.

After Cao Rui listened to Jia Xu's words, he bowed to Jia Xu and replied respectfully: "No."

"In the past Han Guangwu sent troops to occupy Lueyang County, and ended up breaking the hustle and bustle of Kai. The late emperor set up Hefei in the east, defended Fancheng in the south, and consolidated Qishan in the west. When bandits come, they must first fight for these three cities, and they must fight for the land.

Even if Jin Yu led an army to attack Fancheng, it would not be a problem.If the generals are ordered to stand firm, after a long time, the thieves will retreat by themselves. "

Cao Rui is very similar to Cao Cao in that he never judges a person by his reputation.

He even hated those who had no reputation, on the contrary, he liked Jia Xu, a minister with a bad reputation but infinite wisdom.

This is due to the teachings Cao Cao taught him when he was alive, and also because of the origin of his biological mother Zhen.

In addition, the Zhen family hadn't died tragically at this time, and Cao Rui's temperament hadn't reached the extreme point, so his respect for Jia Xu was sincere.

After Jia Xu listened to Cao Rui's answer, he nodded and then asked more difficultly: "The thieves and bandits gathered outside Fancheng today, how many of the discussants intend to send out an army to wipe them out, what do Duke Qi think?"

After Cao Rui listened to Jia Xuxin's question, he answered almost without thinking:

"In the past, Emperor Wu was a sage in the use of troops. He observed Liu's thieves inhabiting mountains and rocks, and watched Wu's captives fleeing in rivers and lakes. They all flinched and avoided them. And back also.

Today, if a large number of soldiers and horses are sent to Fancheng to ask for the pass, the road is dangerous and difficult, and it is planned to use elite troops to guard the four southern states to prevent water pirates.

The world is in turmoil, and it takes a lot of effort, so it is advisable to think deeply.

The power of the husband to defend the battle is doubled.Therefore, the best plan above is to divide the generals to occupy all the key dangers, the power is enough to shock the strong bandits, calm the frontiers, the soldiers and tigers sleep, and the people are safe.

In the past few years, China has become more and more prosperous, and the two southern captives will stop their abuses.Since then, who in the world is my great Wei opponent? "

After hearing Cao Rui's answer, Jia Xu could not help but smile.

If this son succeeds to the throne in the future, Great Wei will be able to prosper for at least a few decades, and his Jia family will be able to prosper for at least a few decades under the wings of Great Wei.

And just when Jia Xu was very satisfied with Cao Rui's performance, suddenly an eunuch came in and reported something to Jia Xu and Cao Rui.

What this incident is about is that there was an imperial decree just now, and General Xu Chu of Wuwei was urgently summoned to Wancheng.

And from the eunuch's mouth, Jia Xu and Cao Rui learned why Cao Pi did this.

After hearing the news, shame, anger and worry appeared on Cao Rui's face, and he immediately got up to stop it.

No matter how smart Cao Rui is, he is still a teenager after all, and his temperament is not calm enough.

But his impatient actions were blocked by Jia Xu.

When he heard the news, Jia Xu couldn't help pulling off a few beards.

Before he left, he gave thousands of instructions, why Cao Pi just refused to listen to him.

But the matter has come to this point, and Jia Xu, who knows Cao Pi well, knows that no one can persuade Cao Pi now.

So Jia Xu hurriedly stopped Cao Rui, and whispered to him: "Qi Gong should study hard, and don't intervene in your majesty's decision-making too early."

"Duke Qi must focus on the future. Don't offend His Majesty at this time. A mother is more valuable than a child!"

Although Jia Xu didn't speak clearly, the clever Cao Rui understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words.

Thinking of Zhen Mi, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​dissuading her.

Seeing that Cao Rui was successfully dissuaded, Jia Xu finally closed his eyes helplessly.

Great Wei's hope can only be placed on Cao Rui.
