Cao Thief

Chapter 784 The Rebellion of Xichuan
"Liu Zhang is dead?"

When Cao Cao heard the news, he couldn't help being surprised, and even had some doubts about who was joking with him.

In my heart, I can't wait for Liu Zhang to die.

But when I heard the news of Liu Zhang's death suddenly, some people didn't believe it.

With a rather complicated mood, Cao Cao summoned Jia Xing who had come from Wudu under Jia Xu's order.

"In the past few years, the situation in Xichuan has been extremely chaotic.

Especially in terms of people's livelihood, it is almost on the verge of collapse... Since last year, Liu Zhang has appointed Liu Ba as his assistant to preside over the restoration of people's livelihood in Xichuan.After Liu Ba took office, by abolishing bad money, stabilizing prices, and gradually changing Jian'an Chongbao and other means, Xichuan has indeed undergone considerable changes.

But because the problems caused before were too serious, although Liu Ba tried his best to recover, the effect was not very obvious.Although the prices in Chengdu have stabilized, they are still high and very serious.

Moreover, since last year, the turmoil in South China has intensified.

Liu Bei was stationed in Nanzhong, just to stabilize the situation, but did not attempt to change the environment.Moreover, Liu Bei kept asking Liu Zhang for supplies, which also put a lot of pressure on Liu Zhang.After autumn, Liu Zhang had to follow Wu Yi's suggestion and recruit Liu Bei to discuss matters in Chengdu.It wasn't a big problem at first, but I didn't want someone to jump out and assassinate Liu Zhang when Liu Zhang entered Liu Bei's camp to discuss matters.

Later, Liu Bei took Chengdu by force.

Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Lei Tong, Huang Quan Liu Ba and others assembled troops in a hurry to protect Liu Zhang's son Liu Qian from Chengdu and retreated to Brazil. On the way to retreat, they destroyed all the warehouses west of Fushui and confronted Liu Bei .

But Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun, decided to raise troops to avenge Liu Zhang.

When my father heard the news, he immediately ordered his ministers to come forward and report, asking the king to make a decision as soon as possible, so that Liu Bei can become the king. "

Liu Zhang is really dead!

This time, Cao Cao believed the news of Liu Zhang's death completely.

"It was really Liu Bei who killed Liu Zhang?"

Jia Xing thought for a while and then replied: "I don't know the specific situation. I only know that Chengdu is in chaos and the people of Xichuan are in panic. According to the news from Shi Guangyuan, since the news of Liu Zhang's death came out Since then, people from Xichuan continued to flee Yizhou and seek refuge in Hanzhong...

According to those fugitives, Liu Bei led his troops to Chengdu at that time, and Liu Zhang wanted to invite him into the city, but was stopped by Huang Quan and others.So Liu Bei camped outside Chengdu and invited Liu Zhang to a banquet, and Liu Zhang went happily.I don't want Liu Zhang to be killed on the spot when an assassin suddenly attacks at the banquet. "

Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp.

He frowned and remained silent, revealing a thoughtful look.

This matter is really too weird!Based on Cao Cao's understanding of Liu Bei, this person is the most famous person, although he is a bit hypocritical, but he cares about fame very much.It stands to reason that he would not fight easily to compete with Liu Zhang for Xichuan.Even if they wanted to turn their faces, it would not be done in such an environment at that time.

May choose an appropriate time, Liu Bei raised troops to attack Yizhou.

But to assassinate Liu Zhang, and to assassinate Liu Zhang on his territory, this method is too cruel and does not conform to Liu Bei's style.Cao Cao would rather believe that Liu Bei captured Liu Zhang in the camp, then shed a few tears hypocritically, persuaded Liu Zhang, and then logically took over from Liu Zhang.

Assassination?

It's really not Liu Bei's style!

Cao Cao was obviously puzzled by this.

However, it cannot be denied that this is the best time to conquer Xichuan.If you miss this opportunity, if you want to seize Yizhou in the future, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.With Liu Bei's ability, he will be able to stabilize the situation in Xichuan, and for at most half a year, there will be no more chaos in Xichuan.At that time, even Cao Cao will find it quite difficult to gain the power of Xichuan.This Liu Bei is really a difficult opponent.

"Better!"

"The servant is here."

"Send Gu's edict to order Youxue to return to Yedu as soon as possible."

"Here!"

Cao Cao quickly made up his mind and decided to conquer Xichuan.

But the candidate for the conquest of Xichuan still needs to be carefully considered.After much deliberation, Cao Cao decided that Cao Peng should still preside over the battle of Xichuan.First of all, Cao Peng has a complete understanding of Xichuan's situation.

From the letters in the past year or so, it can be seen that Cao Peng has been eyeing Xichuan.

At the same time, to fight Xichuan, we must rely on the Northwest.

Cao Peng is in the northwest, and his status is quite special.With him coming forward to integrate resources in the Northwest, we can get twice the result with half the effort.Not to mention, the foundation of Hanzhong was arranged by Cao Peng. It is really unreasonable not to let Cao Peng come back at this time.It's just that Cao Cao also knows that Cao Peng is still in the domestic city.

It would take at least a month for him to return.

Naturally, Cao Cao would not waste this month in vain. He had to start making arrangements, mobilize troops, and prepare for the war.

The edict to recall Cao Peng has been issued.

Cao Cao immediately ordered Xun Yu and others to come to discuss specific plans.

"The battle of Xichuan should be fought on both sides."

After Xun Yu heard about the turmoil in Xichuan, he stood up and suggested without saying a word: "I'm afraid it's a little weak to rely on the troops from Hanzhong alone. Your Majesty should attack from two directions, sending troops from Jingnan and Hanzhong...

Moreover, Liu Zhang's son Liu Qian is now in Brazil.

He still has a force in his hands, Zhang Ren Leng Bao, both are famous generals in Xichuan, and Yan Yan, prefect of Berkshire, is the champion of the three armies bravely, with unparalleled prestige.With these people, it is enough to cause some troubles for Liu Bei, but without the support of the king, I am afraid it will not last long.Therefore, the king should try to contact him first, and then plan to send troops to Xichuan.In this way, the conquest of Xichuan will have an internal response, which can be captured more easily.

The new Marquis Wu is a great talent, and he can be the leader of the road.

It is an extremely appropriate choice for the king to want the new Marquis Wu to send troops from Hanzhong.

But the South Route Army needs to plan carefully... When there is a general in command, there will be no big problems.

The minister thought that the eldest son Cao Zhangyong was the champion of the three armies, and now he has been stationed in Jingnan for two years, and he is very familiar with Berkshire.He has the barbarian army of the Daxing Mansion in his hand, and he can call it on. With the troops of General Jingzhou, it is enough to attack Berkshire.Once Berkshire is lost, the door of Chengdu will be wide open... However, Jingzhou's troops are mobilized, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong needs to be careful, and he will make trouble from it.Therefore, Jingzhou also needs to strengthen its defense. It has been more than three years since the navy was reorganized.Although it has not yet met the requirements, it is enough to resist Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

The minister suggested that Gan Ning, the governor of the navy, be asked to capture Sanjiangkou and defend the Soochow navy.

He also asked Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and Zang Ba to act in Huainan to restrain Sun Quan's troops and make him have no time to take care of Xichuan.

As for the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangdong, don't worry about it.

As long as Deng Fan, the prefect of Wuling, and Wei Yan, the prefect of Lingling, hold on to Tai Shici, we can succeed..."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, everyone present nodded their heads.

Undoubtedly, in everyone's opinion, Xun Yu's words are exhaustive, and they have summed up all the problems.

And Cao Cao is also very pleased!
He was not happy about how clever Xun Yu's strategy was, but he was very happy that Xun Yu was planning for him wholeheartedly.

To be honest, when Xun Yu came over, Cao Cao was still a little suspicious.

He was always worried that Xun Yu's seeking refuge had another purpose.After all, Xun Yu had been dissatisfied with some of his policies before.Even when Cao Cao became king, everyone came to congratulate him, but Xun Yu did not appear.

This made Cao Cao disappointed and sad.

Back then, after conquering Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao established himself in Dongjun.

Xun Yu was the first conspirator who took refuge here, and he did his best for Cao Cao's great cause.

He recommended Guo Jia and other talents, and set goals for Cao Cao.

No wonder Cao Cao once told people that Xun Yu was his wife Zhang.It's just that with the continuous development of Cao Cao's career, especially after the Han Emperor returned to the east, a rift appeared between Xun Yu and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has always hoped that he and Xun Yu can create a good story where the monarch and his ministers know each other.

But as the rift continued to expand, the relationship between the two also changed unconsciously.

This time Xun Yu's advice made Cao Cao seem to have returned to the time when Xun Yu advised him when he was in Dongjun.Looking at Xun Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and nodded secretly.

If you have Wenruo alone, great things can be expected!
However, is it really appropriate for Cao Zhang to preside over the battle against Berkshire?

Cao Zhang is only 22 years old this year, leading the army so early, I am afraid...

"Old Yan Yan's name was mentioned by Marquis Xin Wu.

When Zhang Song went to Jingzhou, he heard people say that Marquis Xin Wu attached great importance to Yan Yan, and there was even a saying that "if Yan Yan in Bajun is here, Xichuan is as solid as gold".Ziwen has indeed made some progress over the years.But to face Yan Yan, Gu is still a little worried, Ziwen is not Yan Yan's opponent, what does Wen Ruo think? "

Xun Yu suddenly laughed!
"That's why Ziwen was asked to come forward."

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"

"The minister also knows the Yan Yan of Ba County because of the new Marquis Wu.

When Yan Yan returned to Berkshire, the minister had invited someone to learn about Xichuan.This Yan Yan was born in a powerful family in Berkshire and was quite prestigious.He is good at fighting, and he is even more familiar with the art of war... If you use strength to fight against the enemy, Yan Yan takes advantage of the danger of Berkshire, and with the help of Zhang Ren Lengbao, it will be very difficult to break through.But Yan Yan admired the new Marquis Wu quite a lot.Later, the two often exchanged letters, and their relationship was very close...

Yan Yan is an arrogant person.

If he sends someone who is idle, he may not be valued by him.

But the son is different... He has a teacher-student friendship with Marquis Xin Wu, and is also a brother. Yan Yan will also look at Marquis Xin Wu's face and not embarrass the son.If you can make a letter from the new Marquis Wu, you can say that you can make the son, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.If you change someone, I'm afraid it will be difficult and effective. Only the son of the world can do it. "

Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Wen Ruo is absolutely right!
Let Ziwen lead the army... But on the Jiangdong side, Deng Fan and Wei Yan alone may not be able to resist Tai Shici.

Sending Zidan to supervise the battle can also prevent accidents.

In addition, Zhou Cang on Dongling Island and Pang De, the prefect of Guangling, were also ordered to act together. It is necessary to contain the main force of Sun Quan's troops and prevent them from reinforcing Xichuan.The rest of the ministries also took action.After the new Marquis Wu returned, he had his own arrangements.Wen ruodang should make regulations as soon as possible for the food and grass that are spent! "

"Here!"

When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately stepped in to respond.

+ + + + + + + + + + +
Following Cao Cao's order, Cao Wei's troops were immediately mobilized.

In Liangzhou, Jia Xu recruited fifty military mansions with more than 2 soldiers and horses.At the same time, Deng Ji of Bingzhou mobilized about [-] troops from [-] prefectures to gather in Hanyang.Jingzhaoyin Xu Huang, on the other hand, conquered [-] soldiers and was on standby at any time.

There was no large-scale mobilization of soldiers and horses in Youzhou and Caozhou.

However, in order to prevent Xianbei from changing, they still assembled and dispatched [-] troops in Zhangcheng County to prevent Kebi Neng from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

Soldiers and horses from all over the country are frequently mobilized.

And far away in the domestic city of Koguryo County, Cao Peng welcomed a group of guests.

"Mr. Wen Cheng has been in a dangerous place this time, and he has made great achievements."

In the Goguryeo Palace in the domestic city, Cao Peng raised his wine glass, walked to a wine table, bowed and said, "Mr. please drink this glass to the full."

After the wine case, one person sat upright.

Judging by his age, he was probably in his early fifties, with an ugly face, but he was wearing a black robe.

Seeing Cao Peng toasting, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly got up and drank it down.

"How can a Confucianist have the virtue and ability to be loved by the son?"

This man is Li Ru.

With the return of Fuyu Kingdom, the war in Liaodong has basically subsided.

Cao Peng's life became leisurely all of a sudden, and he accompanied Lu Lan, Da Qiao and others to travel around the mountains and rivers every day.

Da Qiao officially married Cao Peng half a year ago.

The matter went very smoothly, just as Wu Can persuaded in private: Madam can ignore herself, but she should also consider the son and the two girls.Now my wife has a family and can't return to her. Is it possible that the son will also be a fallen leaf and can't return to his roots in the future?When a woman is away, she always has a destination.Xin Wuhou is about the same age as his wife, and he is a kind person, and the son also admires Xin Wuhou.

That being the case, why not go further?
Whether Mrs. Yu, Mr. Yu and the two girls, it is a happy event.

With the support of the new Marquis Wu, why should Madam worry that she will not be able to return to her hometown in the future?Madam, please think again.

Wu Can is from Jiangdong, not from the same hometown as Mrs. Qiao.

But after all, they all belong to Jiangdong, so it is very easy to communicate with each other.

Wucan was ordered by Cao Peng to probe Mrs. Qiao's mind.After going back and forth, Mrs. Qiao was also moved.Later, she inquired about Sun Shao's tone and found that Sun Shao had no objection to Cao Peng, so Mrs. Qiao felt relieved.However, she begged Cao Peng not to make a big fuss, and quietly married into the Cao family... Now, Mrs. Da Qiao has been pregnant for three months.

Cao Peng was in the domestic city, and he was rather reluctant to think about Shu.

It was at this time that Li Ru suddenly appeared in front of Cao Peng with a group of people...

"I assassinated Liu Zhang!"

Li Ru went straight to the point and said to Cao Peng: "Ru has fulfilled the agreement with the young master... Now that Goguryeo is dead, Lu's Han Kingdom is as stable as Mount Tai from now on. Ru asked the young master to fulfill the promise of the year and make Ru leave.

Confucianism is willing to stay in Lu's Han Dynasty and become a rich man.

It's just that the dog is old, so there is no need to make him follow, let him stay in the Central Plains, and lead the horse and stirrup for the young master. "

In Chengdu, Li Ru married a three-room concubine and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

Now, he is quite successful and wants to retire to the mountains and forests.

Naturally, Cao Peng would not refuse, he wants to live in Lu's Han Kingdom?no problem!After Cao Peng entertained Li Ru, he let him settle down.

He didn't expect that Li Ru would use such a method to complete his mission.

In Li Ru's words: "The people's livelihood in Xichuan is corrupt, and it doesn't make much sense to continue to stay... and a big war is about to break out, so I don't need to be in charge of the overall situation. Under this situation, it is meaningless for Liu Zhang to continue to live."

When Li Ru was leaving, he said to Cao Peng: "My lord, you should be ready. I'm afraid that in just a few days, the king will have an edict to ask you to come back."
