Soldiers come to the world

Cao Zhang was taken aback, and asked casually, "Which king attendant?"

Before the guard could answer, Cao Zhang was overjoyed immediately. He had already realized that it was Wang Can. He hurriedly said, "Please invite him to see me!"

Wang Can was one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, and the only high-ranking official who was not executed in the case of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, but he was also removed from the post of servant and demoted to a commoner.

Wang Can was also tortured by Yang Tian in the case of the seven sons of Jian'an. He had to recuperate at home for several months before he could walk on the ground. But it was also this political struggle that completely shattered his confidence in Cao Wei. He was determined to return to the Han Dynasty. Looking for Cao Zhang means accepting Li Fu's request.

Wang Can walked into the big tent, and Cao Zhang greeted him personally. Although Cao Zhang was a warrior, like his father and brother, he admired talented and elegant people very much, especially the seven sons of Jian'an. Cao Pi launched the case of the seven sons of Jian'an to eradicate Cao Zhi's influence. It caused Cao Zhang to be furious, and he also fell out with his brother because of this.

Cao Zhang invited Wang Can into the big tent, and the two sat down to exchange pleasantries. Cao Zhang asked with a smile, "Why did the prince teach me?"

Wang Can sighed slightly and said: "The son is self-willed, vicious, and unsympathetic to his subordinates. I am already discouraged by him. Seeing that the country of Cao Wei, which Duke Wei's soldiers and horses have conquered for half their lives, will be destroyed in his hands, I feel anxious and unbearable. So let me persuade you, my lord."

Cao Zhang immediately prostrated himself on the ground, "I would like to listen to the teachings of the Lord!"

Wang Can read his head and said: "In the past, the Duke of Wei called the Youzhou Army to enter Yedu. He once clearly stated that the Youzhou Army was the army to defend the capital of Yedu. , I would rather use Cao's fake son as the main general, but always put the young master and the Youzhou army in Hebei, and don't use them easily, young master, do you know why?"

Cao Zhang's face became very serious. Wang Can said that he was right. Cao Zhen was just a hypocrite. He was not as good as himself in martial arts and knowledge, but he was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou. , but lived far away in Hebei, trapped in Youzhou, and has not been reused. This is indeed unreasonable, and has always confused and dissatisfied him.

He usually thought about this matter more than once, but most of them were complaining about his father. Today Wang Can's words made him realize something, and he quickly said: "I seem to understand it, but I can't understand it clearly. Please tell me clearly. "

"My son is the son of Duke Wei. How can Duke Wei not reuse it? Just like the cornerstone of a house, it must be built under the ground. Even if the house does not collapse after the wind and rain, the cornerstone is still there, and a new house can be built again. The son is Cao Wei's community. Of course, the cornerstone should be placed in the northernmost part of Youzhou, even if Cao Wei is destroyed by the Han army, the young master can lead the army of Youzhou to sweep south and rebuild the Caowei Sheji, this is the deep meaning of Wei Gong, may the young master understand?"

Cao Zhang let out a long sigh, "Mr. Cao Zhang hates it too late to hear what you said!"

Cao Zhang was really moved. For so many years, he had always resented his father for being unfair to him. Until today, Wang Can's words woke him up like a dream. It turned out that his father had such deep meaning.

He asked Wang Can again: "In my opinion, what should I do now?"

"Young Master should decide what to do, but I just advise you, don't disappoint Duke Wei's hard work on Young Master."

Cao Zhang read the head silently. He knew what he should do. He had to take back the [-] Youzhou Army in Qingzhou. That was his army. Qingzhou let Cao Xiu go to guard. What did Cao Zhang have to do with him?

Cao Zhang wanted to ask Wang Can to stay and help him, but Wang Can declined Cao Zhang's invitation on the grounds that he was sick, and then left.

Although Wang Can's words are reasonable, maybe Cao Cao really had this idea, but this is by no means the root cause. The root cause is that Cao Cao didn't want Cao Zhang to be powerful, just like putting Cao Zhi in Xudu. Cao Pi successfully inherited the position of Duke Wei, and Cao Cao had to sacrifice his other two sons for the continuation of Cao Wei's great cause.

Of course Cao Zhang would not admit that his father was trying to suppress him, so after Wang Can said those reasonable words, Cao Zhang regarded it as his father's good intentions. Cao Zhang is the cornerstone of Cao Wei and the one who saved Cao Wei from peril. last hope.

As soon as Wang Can left, Cao Zhang immediately wrote a letter in his own hand, ordering his confidants to rush to Qingzhou and hand the letter to the deputy general.

In any case, he would never hand over his Qingzhou army to his eldest brother Cao Pi. If he was still undecided before, Wang Can's words made him wake up and gave him a reason to occupy Youzhou.

That was his father's deliberate arrangement. In order for him to become the cornerstone of Cao Wei, the Youzhou Army was the key to him becoming the cornerstone of Cao Wei. How could he give it up to others.

After the end of the original war, the battle for Qingzhou, which was thought to start immediately, did not break out as scheduled. There was a confrontation in which the Han army occupied Le'an County, and the two Cao armies stationed troops in Qi County and Jinan County respectively.

Both sides are unwilling to start a war easily. The delicate political situation in Yedu affects the battle situation in Qingzhou. For Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, the army is the most precious resource, and the most precious resource must be used on the cutting edge. It is not very important to compete for territory. The most important thing is to compete for the great cause left by his father.

As Cao Pi's supporter, Cao Xiu's [-] troops are undoubtedly Cao Pi's last hope. At this time, Cao Xiu also received Cao Pi's order to transfer troops, which really made Cao Xiu feel embarrassed.

Cao Xiu's army was stationed in Zouping County in the north of Jinan County, close to Le'an County. In the big tent, Cao Xiu was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking preoccupied. At this time, his aide Liu Jun walked into the big tent and said with a smile: " Do you need anything from me, Commander?"

"Sir, please sit down!"

Cao Xiu hurriedly asked Liu Jun to sit down. He took out the secret letter Cao Pi gave him and handed it to Liu Jun, "This is a letter from my son, sir, please read it!"

Liu Jun took the letter and read it again. The content of the letter was very simple, that is, he asked Cao Xiu to lead his army to King Qin of Yedu immediately, which made Liu Jun frowned, "Don't you think about the gains and losses of Qingzhou?"

Cao Xiu said with a wry smile, "This is my contradiction. If I lead an army to Yedu, what will happen to Qingzhou? To be honest, I don't expect Zhang Liao to be able to hold Qingzhou. His army is Cao Zhang's Youzhou Army. Can he really control it?" Living is still a problem, even if he controls the army and defeats the Han army, what about Qingzhou?"

After all, Qingzhou was Cao Xiu's territory, and he didn't want to hand over Qingzhou to Zhang Liao. Liu Jun understood Cao Xiu's true intentions, and he pondered for a moment and said, "But Cao Zhang and Xiahou Dun's army has far gained the upper hand in Yedu. The governor led the army to Yedu, which means that the situation in Yedu is already very critical, otherwise he would not ignore the risk of Qingzhou, why not divide the army into two groups, defend Qingzhou on the one hand, and go to Yedu on the other, what does the governor think?"

"Inappropriate!" Cao Xiu shook his head. "The army cannot be separated. It is easy to be defeated by the Han army. I mean, either go to Yedu or stay in Qingzhou. The key is, what can I get?"

Liu Jun suddenly understood what Cao Xiu meant. Cao Pi didn't make any statement. Of course Cao Xiu refused to lead his army westward. Attitude."

Cao Xiu read the head, Liu Jun's words touched his heart, how could he give up Qingzhou and go to Yedu if he was not given a general to make up for it.

When the two were discussing, a soldier hurriedly came to the front of the tent and reported: "Send to the governor, there is an urgent report from Le'an County!"

Cao Xiu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Where is the messenger, let him in quickly!"

After a while, a scout of Cao Jun walked into the big tent quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the governor!"

"Tell me, what happened in Le'an County?"

"Reporting to the governor, the Han army has withdrawn from Le'an County. According to various clues, the Han army should go north to Bohai County."

Cao Xiu and Liu Jun looked at each other. At this critical moment, the Han army actually went north to Hebei. Cao Xiu was in a dilemma. He could have used resisting the Han army as an excuse not to go to Yedu. Now that the Han army is going north, he couldn't find a reason. up.

Liu Jun pondered for a moment and said: "When the Han army marches northward, there must be changes in Zhang Liao's army. The governor may as well wait a little longer and see the changes in Zhang Liao's army before making a decision."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The sudden northward advance of the Han army undoubtedly disrupted the originally balanced situation in Qingzhou. The two Cao armies stationed in Qingzhou faced a dilemma. Danger.

The [-] troops commanded by Zhang Liao were Cao Zhang's Youzhou Army. In order to seize Cao Zhang's military power, Cao Pi ordered Zhang Liao to lead the [-] Youzhou Army to Yuanyuan, away from Cao Zhang's control, on the grounds of supporting Xuzhou.

However, the Youzhou Army is an elite army built by Cao Zhang for nearly ten years. In just a few months, even a famous general like Zhang Liao can hardly integrate them. Cao Zhang's influence on the Youzhou Army has penetrated into every part of the army a soldier.

Zhang Liao's army was stationed in the Qingzhou Army Camp in Linzi County, Qi County. The [-] army consisted of ten military marquises, thirty Ya generals, and three Lang generals. The chief general Zhang Liao and his deputy general Xin commanded the entire army.

But so far, Zhang Liao's orders have been conveyed to the deputy general Xin, and then to the whole army because of the letter. The reason is very simple. Cao Zhang.

As the internal strife in Yedu gradually intensified, it became more and more difficult to convey Zhang Liao's order, or even if it was conveyed, it would take a lot of time. The most obvious example is that Zhang Liao wanted to divide his troops into two groups and sent Yu Xin to lead [-] troops. To garrison Beihai County, he led [-] troops to garrison Qi County. In this way, Yu Xin could be sent away, and Zhang Liao could integrate [-] troops.

But although the order was passed on, Yu Xin refused to carry it out. This caused tension between Zhang Liao and Yu Xin. According to the order issued by Cao Zhang, general general Xin has become the spokesperson of Cao Zhang in the army.

On the contrary, Zhang Liao has been taken away. He is the chief general in name, but in fact his orders cannot be conveyed at all, and his life is always threatened. There are only [-] soldiers around Zhang Liao, and they are closely guarding Zhang Liao's safety.

In the big tent, Zhang Liao stood alone in front of the sand table, watching the northward route of the Han army on the sand table for a long time. The Han army withdrew to Bohai County, but Zhang Liao could guess that the Han army did not actually withdraw, but temporarily evacuated and waited. Infighting broke out within Cao's army.

Zhang Liao sighed, he already understood Liu Jing's intentions, Liu Jing occupied Qingzhou without bloodshed, but Cao Jun fell into internal strife.

At this moment, a soldier rushed to the account and said nervously: "General, something is wrong!"
