Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 307 Sleepy came to give a pillow, Cao Ang refused to enter after passing through the house [6600 words for subscription monthly ticket]

For Cao Cao and Cao Ang and his son.

Kong Rong naturally knew about it.

Even he and Cao Ang had dealt with each other through letters. Liu Bei and Liu Xuande's post of Pingyuan county magistrate was actually obtained in this way.

The reason why I put up the table for him was because Liu Bei took out Cao Ang's seal letter at first, and sold Cao Ang's face, so he took it down.

Now I heard what Mi Heng said.

Kong Rong suddenly felt enlightened.

The previous thought of asking Liu Bei for help was instantly forgotten. Compared with the powerful Cao family, Liu Xuande's combat power is too weak.

It's really impossible to save myself.

That being the case, the limited time has to be spent on more valuable places.

But be careful.

After hesitating for a while, Kong Rong asked hesitantly, "Father and son of the Cao family are in high positions now, and Cao Mengde is the shepherd of Yanzhou. He is deeply rooted in Yanzhou, and his military strength is unknown."

"As for his son Cao Zixiu, he is equally powerful. A few days ago, there was news that he had been appointed as the shepherd of Yuzhou by the imperial court. He defeated Yuan Shu in Nanyang County and actually took over many counties in Yuzhou."

"Both his father and his son are rare heroes in the world. Now that their status is soaring, I rashly send people to ask for help. Will they be willing to send troops?"

Mi Heng flicked the sleeves of his robe very confidently.

A pair of confident appearance.

Then he looked straight to the west, as if his eyes had passed through countless spaces, looking at the land of Yanzhou.

"Wen Ju doesn't have to worry about this!"

"The Cao family father and son are benevolent and righteous people. They are all loyal to the Han Dynasty and do their best for the imperial court. There are people who are utterly loyal."

"Among them, Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu, you must have heard of many of his deeds. This is a well-deserved man with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. Many people in the world praise his name."

"Our two families are friendly neighbors. If you send someone to ask for help, if you don't say anything else, how can Cao Zixiu just sit back and watch us suffer?"

…………

Mi Heng began to sing praises for Cao Ang.

And Kong Rong nodded repeatedly.

Just like Mi Heng said.

Cao Ang's reputation in the hearts of the people in the world is very good, especially in the faction that is loyal to the Han Dynasty and belongs to the firm royalist party, it is even more well-known.

Who doesn't know that this young young man, in Luoyang, once angered Dong Zhuo at the court, and protected the dignity of the Queen Mother and the emperor with his own strength, so that their dignity would not be swept away.

Just that.

It is enough to make the people of the world praise it, and it is enough to make the princes of the court feel ashamed.

As for the subsequent campaign against Dong Zhuo and the restoration of the tombs of princes, princes and princes, these series of measures, large and small, are enough to demonstrate the loyalty and good will of the Han Dynasty.

Such a character.

Indeed, he can be called a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.

As long as his request for help can be safely delivered to him, Cao Ang will definitely not refuse to save him.

……

thought here.

Kong Rong immediately came to the map hanging in the room, and then gestured with his hand, the distance from Duchang County to Changyi County, Shanyang County.

After a little thought.

His voice sounded in the house.

"If you want to get a large number of reinforcements, you have to be one of the father and son of the Cao family, and you must personally agree. Therefore, it is not enough for the envoy to enter Yanzhou. You must get Dachangyi County and contact the person in charge."

"There is a huge distance between the two places. I only took a rough look and estimated that there are thousands of miles away. This trip will take a long time!"

Hear this.

Mi Heng smiled lightly, with a frivolous and casual look on his face.

Then, not only did he not stand beside Kong Rong, but he found a seat beside the table and sat down, leaning back against the table, and said in an erratic tone.

"I'm talking about Wenju, you've already got a good plan, but you're still looking around, still undecided, why bother?"

"No matter how far the distance is, with our army's thousands of elite soldiers, relying on Duchang County, will it be difficult to stick to it for more than [-] days?"

"Besides, the Cao family has an elite cavalry under their command. As long as they are willing, they can come to support with the vanguard in a very short period of time. At that time, no matter whether the vanguard can win or not, it will be enough to slow down the enemy's momentum."

Speaking of it.

Mi Heng paused for a while.

Then, while patting the table lightly with his hands, he said meaningfully and pointedly.

"Besides, as long as Cao Jun's soldiers come here, with their powerful combat power and rich experience in dealing with ants, they will not only be able to rescue us."

"Perhaps we can go one step further and wipe out all the thieves who surrounded the city. At that time, not only will we be able to maintain safety and stability, but we will also get a great achievement!"

……

That's all for this.

Mi Heng said no more.

But Kong Rong's eyes lit up suddenly, and these words woke him up completely.

Yup!

I led my troops to Duchang County and worked hard. The original purpose was to wipe out those yellow scarves who were looting everywhere and doing evil in the local area.

It's just a wrong estimate of the enemy's strength.

As a result, it was surrounded here.

If it is only to solve the danger of the siege, it can only be regarded as a short-lived, but the original purpose can be defeated, so it is really not beautiful.

Then if you can take the opportunity to counterattack.

Let's not talk about meritorious service or anything, just say that he has done a practical thing for the local people from all walks of life, and his reputation will be incredible.

Think about it here.

Kong Rong, who was already somewhat slow and indecisive, stopped hesitating immediately, slapped his hands heavily, and then said firmly.

"Then according to what Zhengping said, send an envoy to take the letter and hurry to Changyi County!"

"It's just that the bandits are besieging the city on all sides, and the roads are completely blocked. It may not be easy to fight out of the city to ask for help!"

Kong Rong just finished speaking.

Tai Shici at the side took a step forward.

He bowed his hands to Kong Rong, and then said in a steady and forceful voice: "My lord, I wish to go!"

……

After Kong Rong turned his gaze around.

Don't wait for him to say anything.

Tai Shici straightened his back, patted his chest vigorously, and then explained boldly.

"When I came in from outside the city, the city was already surrounded in all directions. At that time, I was able to pay my respects to the lord at this moment only by relying on fighting from all sides and forcefully killing a bloody path."

"Although the siege is tighter now, it's not like there's no chance. I'll just leave the city quietly at night and charge into battle. The bandits can't stop me!"

"After I leave the city, I will hurry up and travel day and night without stopping, trying to reach Changyi County in the shortest possible time!"

"Your Majesty took good care of your mother in the past, but as a son, how can you not repay such a great kindness? Now that your Majesty is in trouble, I can't help you with other things, but I am willing to take the risk for you! "

The last words obviously touched Kong Rong.

After feeling in my heart for a while.

Kong Rong immediately walked to Tai Shici's body quickly, and then held Tai Shici's arm tightly with both hands, and then said in a sincere and sincere tone.

"Then please Ziyi!"

……

this afternoon.

The south gate of Duchang County, which was originally closed with four gates, suddenly opened an opening, and then Tai Shici rushed out of the city single-handedly.

The thieves who surrounded the city were taken aback.

I thought the defenders in the city were going to come out for a decisive battle.

As a result, he knocked on the clapper in a panic, and knocked up the soldiers who were resting.

However, Tai Shici just fired all the arrows in the quiver, and then returned to the city.

Wait until evening.

Tai Shici repeated the old trick.

Once again, they picked a bandit army who was relatively lax, and they all opened the city gate while they were resting, pretending to run around under the tower, and then shot all the arrows in the quiver once again.

So again and again.

until late at night.

The south gate of Duchang County was reopened again.

However, the bandits guarding outside this time lost all interest in Tai Shici. They only thought that he was playing harassment tactics and had no practical effect.

However, this time it was taken lightly.

Let Tai Shici successfully break out.

One man and one horse, killed a bloody road, and left Duchang County without looking back, leaving behind a group of dazed Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers, as well as the sky full of smoke and dust trampled by the horse's hooves.

………………

Four days later.

It is located in Fangyu County in Shanyang County, Yanzhou.

Cao Ang is leading his troops here for a short rest.

When we arrived at this place, we were only one or two stations away from our final destination, which was Changyi County.

It will take another four or five days at most.

You can end this part of the trip, take a good rest in Changyi County for a while, and at the same time discuss the next plan with your father Cao Cao.

But what Cao Ang didn't expect was that.

He hadn't had time to leave Fangyu County yet, and he only arrived here in the afternoon of the day he arrived here for rest.

He ran into a group of people by accident.

It was Xia Houyuan who was appointed by Cao Cao and came from Changyi County to meet Cao Ang and deliver some important information by the way.

He came with Xia Houyuan.

There is also a young man with an ape-armed wasp waist, a strong figure, a beautiful beard and long beard on his chin, and a strong bow and a pot of arrows.

It was Tai Shici who rushed to Yanzhou to send a message for Kong Rong.

…………

At the moment, it is in the temporarily requisitioned county office study.

Cao Ang summoned several people who came over.

"Uncle Xiahou, what troubles you to come here in person, since I have already led my troops to this place, I will be able to reach Changyi County in a few days."

I heard my nephew's inquiry.

Xia Houyuan showed a smile on his face, raised his hand to gesture to Tai Shici who was sitting beside him, and then explained to Cao Ang.

"This strong man came from Qingzhou. His name is Taishici, and his name is Ziyi. Now he is asking for help from Qingzhou Beihai State Minister Kong Rong Kong Wenju."

"I arrived in Changyi County a day ago, and I met the Fujun. I also took out a letter written by Kong Wenju, and the authenticity was verified."

"It's just that this kind of thing is related to the deployment of troops after all, and it also needs to travel thousands of miles from Yanzhou to Qingzhou for support, and it needs to fight the enemy. There are too many involved, this is not a trivial matter."

"So Fujun ordered me to take this strong man to the south at high speed, passing through various cities along the way, just want to meet with you in advance, so that we can discuss in advance."

Cao Ang nodded calmly.

But what no one knows is.

At this moment, Cao Ang's seemingly calm face concealed a gradually excited heart, as well as the urge to secretly laugh.

Qingzhou asked for help.

what!
Really come up with whatever you want, after Zhengchou has pacified the northern part of Yuzhou, the next strategic plan for the east and west sides needs a head start.

As a result, the excuse of the east was delivered to the door.

God helps me too!

…………

For the territory around Qingzhou.

It can be said that Cao Ang has been jealous for a long time.

Although the successive ravages of the Yellow Turban Bandit caused serious population loss on the land of Qingzhou, farming and other activities were completely destroyed as a result.

But as a large coastal state, the resources in Qingzhou are actually there.

One of the most important items.

It's salt!

This is also the site that Cao Ang has been thinking about since he obtained the salt mining and refining technology before, thinking about what he wants to take down.

After all, it is different from inland areas like Yanzhou.

There are many salt fields in Qingzhou.

It's just considering that if you lead a large army into the Qingzhou border at will, you will be born without a name, and the current world has not yet collapsed to the point where you can occupy the territory at will, do it without a name, and do it when you see it.

So in Cao Ang's plan.

He planned to wait for a while, wait until Qingzhou changed, and then take advantage of the trend to enter the army.

However, the development of things now is somewhat smoother than he expected. Before his heels touched the territory of Changyi County, he started from the beginning.

Isn't this sleepy enough to send a pillow?

In fact, Cao Ang had a vague guess in his heart.

According to the temperament of the father.

The small matter of mobilizing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses does not require much effort. He sent Xia Houyuan over to discuss with himself before making a decision.

If you don't have this bit of courage, then you really underestimated your father, Cao Cao Cao Mengde.

But the reason why there is a meeting between this party and the county.

I think it's probably because Cao Cao also realized the importance of this matter, and he can use this to open the entrance to Qingzhou.

Seamless connection with Qingzhou strategy.

The heavyweight rose immediately, so Cao Cao specially sent Xia Houyuan over, not daring to neglect.

…………

These thoughts just flashed through my mind.

It has been pressed down by Cao Ang.

After he nodded slightly to show that he understood Xia Houyuan's words, he immediately turned his head to look at Tai Shici who was beside him, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wen Ju is well-known in the country. I have dealt with him before. I know that he is a loyal man. Now he is trapped by bandits. I should help him."

"It's just that I don't know what the current situation is in the North Sea country. Please discuss it in detail!"

Tai Shici was a little excited right now.

He was ordered to come here, the task is not just to send the letter, but to respond, and the task can only be considered as completed if reinforcements can be successfully invited.

When he first met Cao Cao in Changyi County, he expressed his pros and cons and analyzed the pros and cons. However, Cao Cao's attitude was very vague, which disappointed Tai Shici.

I thought this action was a bit overhanging.

But I didn't expect to see Cao Ang.

But got a response in such a short time.

How could he not be excited about it.

Now listening to Cao Ang's questioning.

Tai Shici stood up without saying a word, bowed to Cao Ang first, and then gave a detailed statement of the danger that Kong Rong encountered.

……

"The yellow turban bandits who besieged Duchang County were originally just a group of stragglers and mobs. They were only recruited by Qushuai Guanhai, who was still in Qingzhou, and they were able to form a siege."

"And after the unified mobilization, the bandits' strength has exceeded [-], while the defenders in the city are only a few thousand. The disparity is too great."

"Even if the thieves outside the city can't break through the city for a while, as time goes by, they will not be able to defend the city for a long time. Once Duchang County is broken, the new force guarding the Beihai Kingdom will be slaughtered. This will affect the entire Beihai and even Qingzhou. In other words, it will be a catastrophe!"

While Tai Shici was stating the situation.

He also tried his best to exaggerate the critical situation in Qingzhou.

I hope that after hearing such a statement, Cao Ang can make a decision to lead troops to support.

And following Tai Shici's voice fell.

Cao Ang was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

Instead, I asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Forgive me for being a little curious. I don't know how long it took Ziyi to gallop all the way from Duchang County to Changyi County?"

Tai Shici made a gesture.

"Report to General, less than three days in total!"

……

I heard this at first.

A trace of surprise appeared on Cao Ang's face.

"Ziyi is traveling three hundred miles a day. Could it be that he has been changing horses and riding fast all the way?"

Tai Shici nodded decisively.

Then he explained in detail.

"In order to break through the heavy siege of Duchang County, I was in a hurry and could only ride alone. There were no horses to ride alternately."

"In the end, along the way, I bought two fast horses out of my own pocket, and rode them in rotation all the way, so that I can have such a speed."

Don't say Cao Ang for such an answer.

Even Xia Houyuan was a little surprised.

He pays for his work out of his own pocket, and according to Tai Shici, he and Kong Rong are not subordinates, and Kong Wenju is not his boss.

That's how it works.

It can only be said that the righteous word is the first!
After a while of silence in the study, Cao Ang's voice broke the silence.

"Zi Yi is a man of kindness and righteousness. If a strong man like you helps Kong Wenju without reservation, then why should I sit idly by?"

"Don't worry, I will immediately send troops from here to try to reach Beihai in the shortest possible time to save Duchang County from danger."

……

Finally got Cao Ang's promise.

Tai Shici was overjoyed.

Immediately bowed to Cao Ang again, with sincere words and a sincere tone of thanks.

"It is widely rumored in the world that the general is a benevolent and righteous generation, who cares about the court and helps the people. Seeing you today, it is true. Please accept the next worship!"

Tai Shici has not gone down this worship.

Cao Ang rushed forward and helped him up.

"Ziyi doesn't need to be too polite, please hurry up, Kong Wenju and I are both ministers of the Han Dynasty, and helping each other is an act of righteousness that ordinary people should have, how dare you take this great gift!"

As Cao Ang is so self-effacing.

Tai Shici was filled with emotions.

I just feel that the general Cao in front of me is really the first-class benevolent and righteous person in the world. He just listened to his own few words and decided to send troops to support him. How righteous and decisive is this!
Compared with the righteous deeds I have done in the past, they seem to be nothing.

abruptly.

An idea popped into Tai Shici's mind.

If he can go to General Cao's command and become a young general under the hands of such a benevolent man, it seems to be quite good.

But the thought only came to light for a moment.

It quickly faded away quietly.

Let's think about it later.

…………

After agreeing on the basic troop dispatch details.

Tai Shici resigned to Cao Ang very tactfully.

But at this moment, Cao Ang looked at Tai Shici's back, and couldn't help thinking about it.

This guy is a fierce general, although there are not many specific achievements, but looking at his deeds in the first half of his life, it is clear that this guy is not simple.

There is no name on the credit book.

It can only be said that it was bad luck. After defecting to Sun Wu, he didn't do any major things, and died young because the deadline was approaching.

If you can give him another ten years.

Presumably the performance will never be bad.

Even so, Tai Shici's exquisite and unsurpassed archery skills are still well-known in the annals of history and have actual records.

Of course, now that we meet Cao Ang, who is capable of precise guidance, the ranking will be next.

anyway.

Cao Ang was very interested in recruiting Tai Shici under his command, so he decided to do the same.

The incomparable benevolence and righteousness shown in the speech just now played such a role.

But that's not the point right now.

After arriving in Qingzhou, there is plenty of time to recruit, and the most urgent thing is to arrange follow-up matters.

…………

"Uncle, I won't go over to Changyi County. I will take my soldiers and horses and transfer directly to Qingzhou as quickly as possible."

"This opportunity is rare. Preserving Duchang County and rescuing Kong Wenju is incidental. The real purpose of our army is to capture Qingzhou!"

"So later, uncle, please hurry back to Changyi and convey my decision to my father. Please see how the old man cooperates with me this time."

After hearing Cao Ang say that his real purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to seize Qingzhou.

Xia Houyuan immediately sat upright.

The whole person straightened his back, his face was solemn, and he did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

"Zixiu, tell me, what kind of cooperation is needed, I will convey it verbatim!"

Cao Ang took a simple map from the study, and spread it out in front of Xia Houyuan.

Then he pointed to Qi State, Le'an County, and Donglai County on the east and west sides of Beihai State, gestured left and right for a while, and then said to Xia Houyuan.

"Kong Rong asked me to send troops to rescue. I will definitely go to Beihai myself. Then I will find an excuse and divide my troops into the left and right counties."

"In this way, the troops will be scattered, and it may take a long time to hold Qingzhou in my hands. Therefore, I need to send a soldier from Changyi County to attack the other counties of Qingzhou together."

Speaking of here.

Cao Ang moved his finger to Pingyuan County again.

"Pingyuan County is next to Yuan Shao's Bohai County, don't move here for now, the rest of the place should be done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"The banner to the outside world is to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and get rid of all the evil. And among the Yellow Turbans who besieged Duchang County, a large number of them fled to the surrounding counties. That's why we led our troops in."

Xia Houyuan didn't say a word.

I just silently wrote down the main points that Cao Ang said, and prepared to report to Cao Cao when I went back.

…………

After a night of rest.

The next morning.

Xia Houyuan took 500 troops specially dispatched by Cao Ang, escorted Ganmei sitting in the carriage, and Xun Yu and other civil servants, and returned to Changyi County.

Ganmei as a woman.

Those who are already delicate and frail are not suitable for long-distance trekking at all, and running back and forth is a living pain.

And staying in the army all the time, even if no outsider has seen her, it is not good for a long time.

Therefore, Cao Ang could only send her to the state capital first, to his mother, Mrs. Ding, and let her take care of him for a while.

As for Xun Yu and other civil servants.

This time to attack Qingzhou, these great talents are not needed. After all, Qingzhou is now a fragmented beach. Apart from chaos, there is no organized resistance force, so there is no need for top internal affairs talents to take charge of affairs.

after taking control.

It can be managed militarily.

And wait until Xia Houyuan makes arrangements.

Cao Ang also immediately ordered Cao Chun to lead the cavalry as a vanguard, led by Tai Shici, and headed towards Duchang County first.

After all, the marching speed of a large army is many times slower than that of a single person riding a fast horse.

If there is no cavalry to press the formation first.

Just rely on the infantry to walk slowly on the road. Maybe when we reach the destination, the grass on Kong Rong's grave is more than two meters high, so there is really no need to take this risk.

Both hands are ready.

Cao Ang immediately appointed Zhang Liao as the general, and the army turned around and marched northeast, bypassing the original destination of Changyi County.

This can also be said to pass through the house without entering.
