Shuhan

Chapter 129 Surrender?Cao Mengde has no doubts about employing people!

Xu all.

In Wei Wangfu.

At this moment, Cao Cao was on fire and furious.

"Waste, waste, waste!"

Cao Ren was half naked, pleading guilty, and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

"You are defending Xiangyang, as long as you can't hold on, you have succeeded, but you want to send troops to compete with Yunchang. Are you the opponent of Han Shoutinghou?"

"Worthless! Too useless!"

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have a whip in his hand, Cao Cao would definitely have whipped Cao Ren severely.

"You are so useless as a general under my command. I should have killed you as a sacrifice to the soldiers who died in Xiangyang City, but I will give you a chance to take the blame for your meritorious deeds!"

Cao Ren's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched tightly, and his strong and perfect body burst out with enormous energy.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take Xiangyang back! I will avenge the fallen soldiers!"

Hey ~
Cao Cao sighed lightly.

Take it back?
How easy is it?

Originally, with Xiangyang in hand, Jiangling could be threatened, but now that Xiangyang is lost, it is not so easy to capture it.

Xiangyang is a strong city, and it is necessary to cross the river to attack it. As long as the Shu army sticks to the city, who can capture it?
That's Guan Yunchang!
"Your Majesty, Yun Chang broke Xiangyang. General Zuo sent a message in Fancheng, saying that Guan Yu intends to surround Fancheng. I hope the general will go to rescue. The most urgent thing is to send troops to Fancheng to prevent Fancheng from being lost."

Yes!

If Xiangyang is lost, it just loses the opportunity to advance to Jiangling and obtain Jingzhou, but if Fancheng is lost, then Nanyang County will not be guaranteed, and Xu is in danger of being captured and besieged.

At that time, does he want Cao Mengde to move the capital?
Originally, after the Battle of Hanzhong, the places he ruled had already become popular.

The ministers of the court and central government are also the first and the second rat. When Hanzhong was captured, why didn't he win Longwangshu, go down to Yizhou in the first battle, and take the dog's life of Liu Xuande?

It's not that the interior needs to be rectified!
Some people rebelled around Xudu, let alone other places?

After the defeat in the Battle of Hanzhong, those strange voices from the government and the public arose again.

There are reports from guards all over the country, the folk customs are not pure, and those who have the intention to dial in secretly mobilize them, waiting for the opportunity to come against him Cao Cao!

in this case!

Fancheng must not be lost!
"Zixiao, can you go and relieve the siege of Fancheng?"

Cao Ren knew in his heart that this was an opportunity for Cao Cao to take his crimes and make meritorious deeds!
"The last general is in charge! Fancheng must be protected!"

In fact, Cao Ren has a way of defending the city. If he insisted on defending Xiangyang and gave Guan Yu siege for ten years, he would guarantee that Xiangyang would not be lost, then Guan Yu would not be able to defeat him.

But he went out to fight in the city, and fell into Yun Chang's treacherous tricks.

What can I do for it!
Cao Ren cupped his hands and got up, and said to Cao Cao: "I beg a general to be the vanguard, and lead the troops."

pioneer?

It seems that Zixiao already knows how to be cautious.

Xia Houyuan is dead, Cao Zixiao must not go wrong.

Otherwise, how many descendants of the Xiahou family of the Cao family could be reused under his command?

"Who dares to be the pioneer?"

Cao Mengde looked around His Royal Highness and ministers.

"A certain is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse, capture Guan Mou alive, and dedicate it to his subordinates."

It is Pang De who sees it.

He suddenly showed joy on his face, laughed loudly, and said: "Guan is so powerful in China, he has never met an opponent; now he meets Lingming, he is really a strong opponent."

Cao Cao stepped forward to help Pang De up, and then took the thorns off Cao Ren's body. His beard and hair were white, and his face was pale, but only the spirit in the tiger's eyes was still shining.

"I ordered you, Zixiao, to be the general, and Pang De, to be the vanguard of conquering the western capital, and raise up the Seventh Army to go to Fancheng."

When Cao Ren heard the words, he quickly saluted and said, "I will go here at the end, and I will surely live up to the expectations of your majesty!"

Pound was even more excited.

"This battle is invincible, please behead my head!"

"Good good!"

Cao Cao was very relieved.

"I have two helpers, He Chouyun will never die, so Liu Chan's child will not die?"

Immediately, Cao Cao set up a banquet for Cao Ren and Pang De!

It was not until late at night that Cao Cao returned to the palace with a drunken face.

"It's a pity that the Tongque Terrace is not in Xudu, but those beauties are left alone."

If it wasn't for the war in Jingzhou, Cao Cao would be in Yecheng now, not Xudu.

This is an old bone, and you have to think about things in the world, it's difficult, it's too difficult!
but
Fortunately, there are many beauties in Xudu, and they are the kind of wives.

Just as Cao Cao was about to take a rest under the service of the beauty, there was a waiter outside the hall who came to report.

"Your Majesty, my son begs to see you."

Zihuan?

What's the point of searching late at night?
"Declarate him into the palace."

He put on the King Wei robe that had been half taken off, and sat on the side of the bed. A plump beauty beside him offered sober soup, and he sipped it with his eyes closed.

"Son, pay homage to father!"

Cao Pi, dressed in the robes of the prince of Wei, knelt down in front of Cao Cao at this moment.

"Get up."

Cao Cao said softly, without opening his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Thank you, Father."

Cao Pi got up slowly.

"Speaking of which, what's the point of visiting late at night?"

There was no emotion in his voice, but Cao Pi knew in his heart that if he bothered Boss Cao with unimportant things, he would definitely get angry.

My dream kills so much!
The heir can't be killed, but he can always be beaten?

"Today, the father is in the palace, and it is quite inappropriate to appoint the vanguard."

inappropriate?

Cao Cao opened his eyes, stared at Cao Pi, and asked word by word: "What's wrong?"

Being stared at by such a tiger, even his own father, Cao Pi felt a lot of pressure in his heart, and couldn't help but tense up.

"Then Pang De is an old general of Jin Ma Chao, and Ma Chao is now one of Xuande's five tiger generals. Has father forgotten the story of Wang Ping in Hanzhong?"

Upon hearing Wang Ping, Cao Cao frowned.

"The traitor?"

If he hadn't appointed Wang Ping as the deputy general because of his improper employment that day, there might still be some chances in Hanzhong.

Even if there is no chance, the loss will not be so heavy!
"I see Pang De alone, not like that kind of unfaithful and unrighteous person."

But Cao Pi said: "Father, it is natural to employ people without doubting others. This is naturally the way to employ people. However, Father must also know that you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of guarding against others. This time guarding Fancheng, nothing will happen." It's very important, if it fails, the country is in danger of being overthrown, so we have to guard against it! I hope the father will think twice before acting, and be more careful!"

"This"

Cao Cao was obviously moved by Cao Pi's words.

But he was still struggling.

If Pang De is a man of loyalty, wouldn't his heart be chilled?
"Let Gu think about it." Cao Cao frowned, stopped drinking the hangover soup, and sat up. The previous lazy temperament disappeared, and Wei Wang returned to his body.

Cao Pi waited quietly, his breathing deliberately controlled to be low.

After a while, Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he already had a decision in his heart.

"It's true that employers don't have to be suspicious of people, and it's true that they must be cautious. Tomorrow, I will summon Pang De and ask him a question, and I will have a sense of propriety in my heart."

"Father Wang Yingming!"

Cao Pi flattered quickly followed.

"Since that's the case, you can retreat."

After this person got old, he began to feel lethargic.

Before, he didn't need to sleep two or three hours a day, and he was still full of energy, but now even if he slept half of the day in bed, his energy was still not good.

Seeing that Cao Pi didn't move, Cao Cao knew in his heart that his son might have other things going on.

He glanced over, and his tone was a little impatient.

"If there is something to do, come quickly, you and I are father and son, what can't we say?"

Hearing this, Cao Pi gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, he saluted Cao Cao, and said, "I want to tell my father, this time, my child also wants to join the army and lead the army to fight!"

Join the army to fight?

Cao Cao looked at the resolute and disobedient Cao Pi, and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!"

"Why do you have such an idea?"

Cao Pi looked solemn, and he said solemnly: "Father, the king has today, and he fought it out with one sword and one gun. Now the world is uncertain, and Fancheng is in danger of being overthrown. Xudu may lose it. The world is like this. If I don't lead the army How can he compete with that Liu Gongsi for the world?"

"It turns out that what Liu Gongsi did touched you a lot."

Cao Cao looked like this before.

"That's right, Liu Gongsi was only a young boy, and he was able to put down the rebellion in the four counties of Nanzhong in March. I have been thinking, if it were me, it would be possible to do it? Now, when he arrived in Jiangling, Lu Meng was arrested. Capture, Jiangdong's [-] strong soldiers are gone, if it were me, would it be possible to do this?"

Cao Wei's news channels are naturally not bad.

The secret agents of the school affairs office are all over Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

If it was confidential news, they might not know about it, but with such a big movement in Jiangling and Lu Meng's goal being so obvious, it would be difficult for Xu Du not to know about it.

"Then I will ask you as a father. If it were you, would you be able to do it?"

Cao Pi's eyes were firm, he clenched his fists tightly, and said in a voice almost gnashing his teeth: "If I were a son-in-law, a child can do it too! Compared with Xuande, the father and king are more powerful, and the son-in-law is the son of the father-king. How can it be worse than that Liu Gongsi?"

"well said!"

Although he always felt that Cao Pi was not as good as himself, but
Now that Zihuan has such an idea and such an ambition, it makes him admire him!

"Then father promised me to lead the army to fight? I can be the vanguard and replace Pound." Cao Pi's eyes brightened slightly, and he was eager to try.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao shook his head.

"Yun Chang has the bravery of a man. If you want to learn the army, you can't confront it as soon as you come. You are not an opponent. Besides, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. You are the son of the king of Wei, and you are entrusting the hope of the Wei country. How can you take risks so easily?"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Go to Yecheng and hold the rear for me!"

He already had a premonition in his heart that when Fancheng fights together, no matter whether he wins or not, there will definitely be twists and turns in the rear.

And being able to stabilize one side can reflect one's strength.

If he couldn't even stabilize the rear, would Cao Cao let Cao Pi lead his troops to the front to die?

"Father, why can Liu Gongsi stand under the dangerous wall, but I can't?"

He, Cao Pi, thinks he is no worse than Liu Chan. Why can Liu Chan lead the army now, but he can't?

"Just because you are my Cao Mengde's son!"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Pi, proudly, but also helplessly said: "Gu has laid a solid foundation for you, but Xuande is not strong enough, so he needs his son to charge forward, and Gu is here, you There is no need to take such risks!"

"Zihuan, don't worry, Gu will clear the way for you! As the King of Wei, it's not a problem!"

It can be said that it is impossible to rule the world at his current age.

But he can still lay a solid foundation for future generations!
"Father."

Cao Pi was moved in his heart, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Go back, you are no longer a teenager, you don't have to cry and look like a woman."

"promise!"

Cao Pi wiped away the tears from his eyes, and the weakness just now disappeared.

"There, the minister is leaving!"

Cao Pi turned his head and left. His goal today has been achieved.

In charge of the army?

Do not!
He wants to show his ambition in front of Cao Cao.

Without the ability to command an army, how can he inherit the throne of King Wei?

Presumably after tonight, his already stable position as Prince Wei's son will become even more stable as Mount Tai!
Is it Yecheng?
Let me see who dares to stand in my way, Cao Zihuan!
The next morning.

The military camp outside Xudu City.

"Today, the general is raising seven heavy troops to solve the calamity of Fancheng. It is hoped that the victory will be certain, but using Pang De as the vanguard, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

In the camp of the Chinese army, the leading general, Dong Heng, came to meet the chief general Cao Ren early on, before all the generals arrived.

"Why is this?"

He had a drink with Pang De yesterday, and took advantage of the fun to compete in the school field.

Pound's martial arts skills are excellent, his temperament is not bad, and he has a lot of insights in leading the army. For Pound's first impression, Cao Ren was very good.

"General Haojiao knows that Pang De was originally Ma Chao's deputy general and had no choice but to surrender to Wei; now his old master is in Shu, and he is serving as a general of the Five Tigers; besides, his brother Pang Rou is also an official in Xichuan, and now he is the vanguard. It’s also necessary to pour oil to put out the fire. Why don’t the general tell the king, don’t go with another person?”

After hearing this, Cao Ren immediately hesitated.

The importance of going to Fancheng this time is self-evident.

If it was because of Pang De that the battle was defeated, even Cao Ren could not bear the responsibility.

He, Cao Ren, can be defeated once, but he cannot be defeated again and again.

"This matter... I will go to the palace and report to the king."

A smile appeared on Dong Heng's face, he cupped his hands and said: "General, if Pang De can't be the vanguard, the last general is willing to be the vanguard to open up the situation for the general!"

Why did Dong Heng come here early to speak ill of Pang De?
Not for the vanguard.

Cao Ren glanced sideways at Dong Heng and nodded slightly.

"This matter... I will tell the truth in front of the king."

"Thank you, General."

Dong Heng saluted Cao Ren solemnly.

Not long after, the generals under the tent arrived one after another.

"Meet the General."

Pound entered and saluted Cao Ren.

"Ah."

Cao Ren nodded, his attitude was much cooler than yesterday.

As a general, Pound is very sensitive to the emotional changes of others.

Cao Ren's attitude towards him today was completely different from last night.

Pound frowned slightly, but he remained calm and stood in his place as if nothing had happened.

He was originally a general, so he naturally had to be cautious in his words and deeds in the army.

Even if it is looked at coldly, it can only be smashed and swallowed into the stomach.

Just as Cao Ren was about to discuss the matter of marching into Fancheng, the voice of the guard came from outside the tent.

"Report to the general, the envoy of the king has arrived in the camp."

The king's messenger?
Cao Ren was stunned.

"Come in quickly."

"promise!"

Not long after, the emissary dressed in eunuch robes slowly walked into the main tent of the Chinese army.

"The general obeys the order!"

"The end is here!"

"The matter of dispatching troops will be postponed for the time being. Your Majesty has other arrangements. Immediately announce the general Cao Ren, and Pang De, the vanguard of the Western Capital, will enter the palace to have an audience."

"The last general takes orders."

Pound's complexion changed drastically. He turned his head to look at Cao Ren, his lips trembling slightly.

"How can a surrendered general be a pioneer? Don't you know the story of Wang Ping in Hanzhong?"

"What's more, his lord is now serving as Xuande's five tiger generals, how can he trust his loyalty?"

"If you turn your back on the front line, isn't it going to ruin the important things entrusted by the king?"

The generals in the account have long complained about Pound's ability to become a pioneer.

If one vanguard Pound is knocked out, there will be room for the people behind.

It's difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and it's something that everyone can do.

"Don't make noise in the army! Talk about your colleagues indiscriminately, and be careful that this general punishes you and others!"

Cao Ren looked around at the generals under the tent with cold eyes, and Cao Ren stared at them. As expected, the generals shut their mouths and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Cao Ren.

"Ling Ming, please!"

Regardless of whether Pang De was a surrendered general or Jin Machao's deputy general, as long as he did not do anything detrimental to Wei, Cao Zixiao would not treat him coldly, let alone speak harshly.

Because of personal speculation, hurt the heart of loyalty?

This is not something Cao Zixiao can do.

"Please, General."

Cao Ren spoke for Pang De, and Pang Lingming showed admiration on his face, and he respected Cao Ren even more in his heart.

The two followed Wei Wang's envoys into the city, and soon arrived at Wei Wang's mansion.

Cao Cao did not meet Cao Ren and Pang De in the main hall of the Wei Palace, but chose to meet in the gazebo in the back garden of the Palace.

The gazebo is very quiet, and there is no sound around, only the chirping of birds and insects, and the rustling of leaves, adding a little vitality to it.

"The last general Cao Ren (Pound), see the king!"

"No need to be polite."

Cao Cao waved his hands to help the two of them up. His eyes just swept away from Cao Ren, and he focused more on Pound.

"Lingming, I don't have any use for this pioneer job. Please also remove the pioneer seal."

Pang De's complexion changed drastically when he heard this.

"A certain person wants to contribute to the king, why is he not willing to use it?"

Could it be that there is no future for the surrendered general?

Seeing the painful expression on Pang De's face, Cao Cao's heart moved slightly, but as a superior, he had already cultivated a heart of stone.

"There is no doubt about the original; but now Ma Chao is now in Xichuan, and your brother Pang Rou is also in Xichuan, and they are all assisting Liu Bei. I am lonely and unsuspecting, what do you say?"

It's not that I don't believe you, it's because everyone says so, I can't help it!

Pang De sank his head with his crown on, tears streaming down his face, he knelt down on the ground, his head smacking loudly on the ground, the blood seemed to be free of money, instantly staining his cheeks red.

"A certain king who surrendered from Hanzhong, every time he felt great kindness, he couldn't repay it even though he was heartbroken; why did the king doubt virtue? When Dexi was in his hometown, he lived with his brother. His sister-in-law was very unvirtuous, and he killed him while he was drunk; the brother hated virtue. Bone marrow, vow not to meet each other, the grace has been broken. Therefore, the master Ma Chao, brave but not scheming, was defeated and perished, and entered Sichuan alone. Now he and Germany are in charge of each other. Adorable ambition? Only the king can see it."

Seeing this scene and hearing this, Cao Mengde no longer had doubts in his heart. He got up and stepped forward to help Pang De up.

"Gu Su knows Qing's loyalty, and the foreword is to reassure the hearts and ears of everyone. You can work hard to make meritorious deeds. If you live up to Gu, Gu will also live up to Qing."

When Pang De heard this, he cried even louder.

He is a tough man, if he hasn't reached the point where he is sad, why would he cry?
The humiliation and grievances of the past few days are surging now, who can withstand it?

"Who says a hero has no tears? It's just not the time to be sad."

Meng De lightly patted Pang De on the back of the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I, Cao Mengde, employ people without suspicion. Ming can rest assured that anyone in the army who dares to gossip and satirize you in the future will be dealt with by our military law!"

If it is because of the matter of Wang Ping in Hanzhong, Cao Cao will be timid in employing people?
Then he is still Cao Mengde?
He, Cao Cao, could be wrong about Wang Ping, but Pang De, he would never be wrong.

"Your Majesty is so trustworthy, the general will be heartbroken and repay it with his life! Xiangyang will not be destroyed, Yunchang will not die, the general will come to see you!"

This trip, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
