Shuhan

Chapter 217 Liu Chan's secret hand, Cao Pi is miserable!

"Zang Ba is rampant, if you don't kill him alone, it's hard to calm down!"

He had just ascended the throne of King Wei, and his prestige had not yet spread on the land of Wei State.

Once you come, you will meet disobedient ones.

If this situation cannot be resolved perfectly, it will be a huge blow to his prestige in Wei Guozhong.

Even a Zang Ba can't be put down, so why do we respect you as king?
Then
In this world, there is more than one Zang Ba.

Those who have ulterior motives will all attack them together.

Prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong sent countless fine works to stir up hearts in the land of Wei State. Many people already regarded Cao Pi as a traitor of the Han Dynasty and Gongsi Liu as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

I, Cao Pi, am a traitor?

Forget it!
But you, Liu Gongsi, have wolfish ambitions, how dare you call yourself a loyal minister?

Just half a catty or two.

Cao Pi looked around at the crowd behind him and asked, "Who will take Zang Ba's head for me?"

Sima Yi saw that Cao Pi was in a hurry.

That's why he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Zang Ba's bandits are aggressive. You should find out the situation before you attack. Besides, he is on the east bank of the Feishui River. If we want to attack him, we have to cross the river. By the river, crossing the river, isn't it a target for him? This is nothing more than increasing losses."

"No!"

Sima Yi's words failed to convince Cao Pi.

At this moment, Cao Pi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"If you don't kill this person, I, Cao Zihuan, swear not to be a human being!"

"This"

Seeing that Cao Pi was angry, Sima Yi's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to say any more for a while.

He knew Cao Pi very well, and it would definitely not be a good thing to touch him at this time.

"Who will kill this thief for me?"

Cao Pi turned around and glanced at the generals under his tent.

"Your Majesty!"

When the general Zhongzheng was about to stand up, beside Cao Pi, a middle-aged scribe stepped forward and saluted Cao Pi.

This person is none other than Wu Zhi!
Wu Zhi's stature is not tall, but he is not short either. He is a little thin. He is obviously a literati who has studied and worked for many years.He has an ordinary face, slightly thin, with a broad forehead, clear eyebrows, and a gentle and wise light in his eyes.

"Ji Zhong, what do you have to say?"

Wu Zhi stood up and spoke, and Cao Pi became calmer.

It seems that in Cao Pi's heart, Wu Zhi is more important than Sima Yi.

And in fact, it really is.

Wu Zhi came from a humble background and was not valued by the villagers, but he was very talented and learned, and was respected and loved by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Wu Zhi was also kind to his brothers.

After Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao, Cao Pi and his colleagues had a trip to Nanpi, and Wu Zhi participated.

Wu Zhi is one of Cao Pi's four friends. When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers were fighting for an heir, he was Cao Pi's mastermind.

Sima Yi is valued by Cao Pi because of his talent, and Wu Zhi is Cao Pi's real confidant minister!
"Zhongda's words are justified, and he should investigate the situation before attacking."

Find out the situation?

"Zang Ba acted as a lonely face, and killed my counselor of Wei State. If we don't fight back like this, how will the people of the world think of me, King Cao Pi of Wei?"

Wu Zhi said softly: "My army is in Shouchun, and the general's army is on the north bank of the river. Zang Ba has only tens of thousands of soldiers. How dare he stay on the east bank of Feishui River? What we have to do now is to issue an edict With the cities of Lujiang County, let them not let Zang Ba go back to Qingxu, or even..."

As he said that, Wu Zhi's eyes turned cold.

"Zang Ba came with a large army. The land of Qingxu must be empty now. Why doesn't the king order you to go to the land of Erzhou? If Qingxu regains control, Zang Ba is just a dog who has lost his family. What is his threat? "

Wu Zhi's analysis was justified and well-founded.

Even Cao Pi, who was angry, couldn't help but start to think deeply.

"Ji Zhong's words are justified."

Cao Pi nodded, but his intention to send troops was still firm.

"Since this is the case, it is even more necessary to send troops to cross the Fei River to attack Zang Ba!"

Chen Qun hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Just now, General Bei Zhonglang has made his words very clear. The king's dispatch of troops this time will hardly be effective. Isn't it just an increase in losses?"

"Hahaha~"

Cao Pi laughed and said: "Zang Ba dared to oppose me, he must have something to rely on. If I don't send troops to attack him, he will be afraid in his heart and will retreat. I will order one to cross the river and give him some sweets. Maybe it will make him feel arrogant and indulgent, and at that time, I will also draw my salary from the bottom of the pot and buy time to win the green land!"

Show the enemy's weakness!

Since you, Zang Ba, look down on me, Cao Pi.

it is good!
I'll just pretend to show you!

I, Cao Zihuan, want to see how courageous you, Zang Ba, are!

"this."

Everyone hesitated.

Losses are increased.

However.
What if Zang Ba ran away?
Sima Yi hesitated in his heart, and wanted to get up to persuade him, but seeing Cao Pi's high-spirited appearance, he couldn't speak.

Zang Ba is a veteran, can he really act so frivolously?
No matter how courageous he is, he still needs to know that what he is facing is Wei State's tens of thousands of troops, and it is still within Wei State's territory.

"Let's try it, my lord. You need to inform the general. Since you are going to act, you have to act more like it. At the same time, keep the casualties to a minimum."

Wu Zhi was dressed in a simple Confucian gown, the color of the Confucian gown was elegant and clean, with a wide belt around his waist.

At this moment, he speaks softly, which can be regarded as echoing Cao Pi.

For the monarch, it is not necessary to blindly fight against him.

Although Cao Pi's plan is a bit risky, it is not impossible to try.

Failed, that's okay.

The loss of two or 3000 people is nothing more.

If you succeed, you earn it.

Wu Zhi's ability to be loved and valued by Cao Pi is also inseparable from his usual conduct in the world.

"Who is willing to fight Zang Ba for me?" Cao Pi shouted.

"My lord, the final general is willing to go!"

Among the generals, a general wearing fine armor came up.

Cao Pi knew this person.

Lu Chang!

This is a fierce general who can fight back and forth with Hou Guan Yunchang of Hanshouting.

To deal with a Zang Ba is simply overkill.

"The general is well-known as the governor of the state, try to guard the pheasant, hold the sword and fight the army, guard the changes carefully, do not stop the enemy's country, and do not invade the neighbors. To deal with mere Zangba, you will definitely be able to catch it!"

There was no arrogance on Lu Chang's face, on the contrary, he was very cautious and said: "Please allow me to use the boat on the river."

Cao Pi nodded and said, "The general can use it as much as he wants!"

Boat?

He Wei Guo has plenty!

When it's used up, just remake it.

"In this way, the future will be more sure."

He bowed heavily to Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty is ready to read my good news!"

Cao Pi nodded, and said softly: "If it is difficult to defeat the enemy, it is not necessary to retreat."

Lu Chang nodded, but his eyes were shining brightly.

withdraw?
Impossible to withdraw!

The opportunity to do meritorious service is right in front of him, so why would he withdraw if it is not a last resort?

General Lu Chang of Wei led Wei's elite soldiers and gathered on the bank of Feishui, preparing to forcibly cross Feishui and attack the enemy.

at the same time.

east coast.

Zang Ba sneered, watching the movement of the Wei army on the other side, looking as if he was about to cross the river to attack, he said, "You really dare to attack me? Does this mean you don't take me seriously?"

I want to see, if you hit him halfway, is your Wei Jun really invincible?
Feishui was choppy, the river was cold, and the army of Wei State was ready to go, majestic.

The elite soldiers of Wei State led by Lu Chang wore heavy armor and helmets, and they were majestic.

They held sharp weapons and had firm eyes, determined to cross the Fei River and break through the enemy's formation.

On the bank of the river, Zang Ba led the Xuzhou soldiers in high spirits and high morale.

They were dressed in simple armor, but they were full of fighting spirit, ready to block the attack of the Wei army.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At the Feishui Ferry, the Wei army lined up neatly, with the sound of military drums, and command orders spread all over the river.

Pioneer took the boat and headed towards the east bank first.

Hundreds of warships, large or small, have the same momentum for a while.

Zang Ba was calm and calm, he roared and said: "Prepare the rockets and shoot the boats into fire boats!"

When the military order was issued, the crossbowmen dipped their specially-made arrows in kerosene, and lit them with torches.

Whoosh whoosh~
Following the northwest wind, the rocket shot towards the boats coming from the mountains and rivers.

"Ahhh~"

The rocket ignited the boat, and the Wei soldiers on the boat abandoned the boat and jumped.

But there are still many boats, and many of them have gradually landed.

Zang Ba commanded calmly, and the Wei army who went ashore could not make any waves at all under the charge of Xuzhou's elite soldiers under him.

"My lord, there are also Wei troops attacking from the north."

Facing the great river in the north, Cao Ren led his troops and horses, and moved accordingly.

The situation looked dire.

Zang Ba did not panic.

"Divide into 1 people, go to the north to defend, one person kills one person across the river, it's very scary!"

How many people can you cross the river?

It's just a refueling tactic, I'm an elite soldier from Xuzhou, I'm afraid you won't succeed?

The flames were raging on the river, and amidst the raging flames, Lu Chang ordered his soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, and it was completed in the shortest time.

Arrows dance on the river.

Whoosh whoosh~
If you want to cross the river, if you are not careful, your life will be lost.

However.
In the face of military achievements, in the face of wealth, life and death have long been ignored.

Lv Chang personally led the army and took the lead on the pontoon bridge. With him as an example, the soldiers of Wei State stepped on the pontoon bridge one after another, preparing to cross the rapids of Feishui.

However, just as the Wei army was struggling to cross the river, half crossed the Fei River, and fell into a state of high fighting spirit, Zang Ba suddenly ordered a surprise attack.

He ignored the existence of the pontoon before, not because he didn't see it.

Instead, I pretended not to see it, and waited for you to come to Boda after you got on the pontoon bridge.

On the battlefield, swords, lights and swords were intertwined, and arrows shot densely.

Wei Jun became the target of attack on the water surface of the pontoon bridge and suffered heavy losses.

More Xuzhou soldiers rushed towards the soldiers who had just crossed the pontoon bridge.

"Come on~"

"Kill!"

Lu Chang could not resist the violent counterattack of Xuzhou soldiers, and the soldiers gradually lost their positions and retreated steadily.

By the Feishui River, fierce fighting continued, with drums shaking the sky and shouts deafening.

Lu Chang's plan to forcibly cross the Fei River has been completely disrupted, and the morale of the Wei army is low, and they are retreating steadily.

Zang Ba took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, and became more and more powerful.The Wei army retreated steadily under Zang Ba's army and suffered heavy losses.

In the end, the Wei army was defeated by Xuzhou soldiers and returned in defeat.

Lu Chang lost the opportunity to forcibly cross the Fei River, so he had to retreat hastily. The Wei army suffered heavy losses and their morale was low.

"Or not!"

On the tower of Shouchun City, Cao Pi sighed quietly.

This Zang Ba still has the ability to lead the army, and the Xuzhou soldiers under him look like soldiers who can fight, not idiots.

"Your Majesty, the general will disgrace the mission!"

Go away with joy, and return with disappointment.

Lu Chang knelt down in front of Cao Pi, not daring to raise his head.

Cao Pi shook his head, and stepped forward to help Lu Chang up.

"It's a lack of preparation, why is it a crime? General, get up quickly."

After helping Lu Chang up, Cao Pi said softly through the thick smoke on the battlefield on the river, "Zang Ba has already started camping. Mobilize soldiers from various states and counties to keep Zang Ba, and tens of thousands of troops surround him, I don't believe it, can he grow wings?"

"Your Majesty."

Lu Chang was moved to be defeated without being punished.

Cao Pi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't blame yourself, I ordered you to lead the army to Hefei to support General Wen Yuan, and help him regain Hefei. As for our army, after ten days, we will definitely be able to go to support !"

Little Zang Ba, after spending ten days, can't I solve you?
"promise!"

Lu Chang took the order immediately and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if you go to Hefei, you will definitely beat those Jiangdong rats to nowhere!"

Can't beat Zang Ba, can't beat you Jiangdong rat?
After Lu Chang took the order and left, the smile on Cao Pi's face also disappeared.

"Go back to the city to discuss matters, and discuss how to deal with Zang Ba!"

Despise the enemy strategically, but respect Zang Ba tactically.

After today's battle, Cao Pi also saw that this Zang Ba is definitely a capable person.

It will take some effort to kill him.

but.
Dare to camp on the east bank of Feishui?

No matter how brave he is, there is already a way to kill him.

That night.

Cao Pi discussed with his staff all night, and finally came up with specific regulations for dealing with Zang Ba.

"Whoo~"

Cao Pi let out a breath slowly.

This is his first battle on the throne.

To deal with Zang Ba, you must fight beautifully!
However, within two hours of sleeping in the city, Cao Pi was awakened by news from a distance.

in the hall.

Cao Pi's eyes were sleepy, and the dark circles in his eyes were almost like pandas.

Huge pressure, short sleep, and many days of marching, even though he was in his prime, his body couldn't take it anymore.

"What did you say? In Xiyang City, the flag of Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, appeared?"

Who is Cao Pi's biggest enemy in this world?

Definitely not Sun Quan, nor Liu Bei.

But this Liu Gongsi!

For this person who robbed his wife, he now hates him so much.

Although he doesn't love things like his wife, how can he feel comfortable when someone snatches them away?
After I got it, I played it for a few years, and I was naturally tired of it, but now it suddenly disappears, and I feel upset again.

Such a beauty, I can't play it now!

He is his mother!

When the news of the enemy came out, Cao Pi became energetic.

The previous difficulties seemed to be swept away.

"Not only did the banner of Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Gongsi appear in Xiyang City, Jiangxia County, Yexian County, Hanshouting Marquis Guan Yunchang and his son Guan Ping also often went out of the city to perform military exercises. Yingchuan County was terrified, and Xudu was even more turbulent."

Damn!

He hated Zang Ba, but he hated his ignorance of current affairs.

But for Liu Chan's hatred, he wished he could eat him raw.

"Everyone, the military report is like this, what should we do?"

Sima Yi got up immediately and said: "The people of Jingzhou are in decline. Although there is a business alliance with the prince of Hanzhong, it has recovered a little bit, but he spent a lot of food and grass to quell the barbarians in the four counties of Jingnan. Now, he is unable to raise an army. Your Majesty only needs to send a small number of soldiers to guard the city, then Liu Gongsi and Guan Yunchang will definitely not be able to achieve great things!"

If the people suffer, there must be people who can suffer.

Who will be oppressed by the resurgence of military affairs in Jingzhou?

No one can squeeze it anymore.

"Ji Zhong, what do you think?"

Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhi.

"Zhongda's words are reasonable, but... Liu Gongsi is very cunning, and likes to use dangerous tactics. What if he attacks the city forcefully, because of the supply of food to our country, what should we do?"

That Liu Gongsi should not be underestimated.

"Ji Zhong means to divide up the troops to guard against Liu Chan?"

But the strategy decided last night was to deal with Zang Ba.

How many soldiers can be dispatched to look after Liu Gongsi now?

There are fewer people here, what should we do if Zang Ba escapes?
And
If he falls into the predicament of fighting on three sides, no matter how big his family and career are in Wei, he can't stand it!

Now Cao Pi's mood can only be described in four words:
Misery!

Ps:

At twelve noon, send another [-] words.
