Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 869 After the Tragedy
Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen defeated the 5000 Han army with 40 horsemen, broke the Han camp, and beheaded two generals.Chenliu was originally the place where Cao Cao raised his troops. He spent all his wealth here and recruited 38 people to start his struggle for supremacy. [-] years later, his most valiant son died here, defending his last dignity, at the age of [-]. .

Xu Gai and Zhou Ting took over the defeated army, feeling very sad.

"Huang Xuer is so fierce?" Xu Gai felt that his father's true biography was still no match for Cao Zhang. If Wen Qin hadn't arrived, he and Zhou Ting would have almost escaped.

"I lost to Cao Ren in Dongliting, it's forgivable; now I'm defeated by Cao Zhang in Xiaohuang, even though Cao Zhang is brave, it's my fault." Zhou Ting felt very uncomfortable, and was defeated ten times as much as the enemy. Ashamed of his father, ashamed of the army, and even more ashamed of Fang Kai, Qi Mao and many other soldiers who died in battle.Faintly, Zhou Ting doubted himself, not only doubted his ability, but also thought that he was dragging Xu Gai down.

Wen Qin came to see the two of them. "The two generals don't need to be discouraged. My father and son served under Cao Zhang when they were in Bingzhou. "

Speaking of Dianwei, Zhou Ting sighed: "I was taught by General Uncle Zhi. He told me many times about the battle of Xiangping, how sad it is to block the Liaodong iron cavalry alone, but I can't feel it. I saw Cao Zhang like this today. Knowing the tragedy of that day, they are all heroes.”

Hearing what Zhou Ting said, Xu Gai was startled, but he didn't know where his shock came from.

Seeing that the two were sad, Wen Qin quickly changed the subject: "What a strange thing, what a strange thing? If the Wei army has retreated, if Cao Zhang is to kill him, and after defeating our army, since he has already shown his power to shock our soldiers, he can just leave. Staying here, could it be that you are looking for a dead end?"

Zhou Ting was also curious about Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao, and the uncle of Cao Rui, the current leader of the Wei Dynasty. He had such a noble status. As Wen Qin said, why did he die generously when he had time to retreat after his goal was achieved.

Definitely no answer.In order to show respect for Cao Zhang, Wen Qin did not order Cao Zhang to be headed and buried beside the Yellow River. Li Chan and other Wei soldiers will cooperate with Cao Zhang in a tomb, restrain Fang Kai and Qi Mao; After a while, they sent scout horses to inquire about Wei Jun's movements.

Cao Zhang scattered more than a thousand cavalry, and those who felt guilty were reluctant to stay away. They secretly spied on the battle between the two armies. After learning that Cao Zhang had accumulated thousands of arrows behind him, he was too ashamed. Captain Dan Ying led more than ten soldiers to steal Cao Zhang's body at night, and rushed to the Si State.

Cao Kai was restless all the way, and when he and Xia Houba rushed to Xingyang, they sent people to inquire again.Three days later, Dan Ying arrived with her dead body on her back, and she was defeated crying on the ground. "The last general is greedy for life, and he gets the bones of the king."

Cao Kai broke down in tears, Xia Houba comforted Shan Ying: "Let Ziwen's corpse go home and not fall into the hands of the enemy. You have done your best, so there is no need to blame yourself."

After wiping Cao Zhang's body clean, there was no blood in his body.Prying out the arrows amounted to 36 points, seven wounds with a knife and five wounds with a gun, none of them were behind his back.The body was put into the coffin, and Cao Kai ordered Dan Ying and his son Cao Fang to carry the coffin into Luoyang.

Cao Zhi wrote an excerpt for Cao Zhang: Although Wang died, he made great contributions to Danqing.Who doesn't have it? You have a voice.Lamented by Cao Zhang's death, he wrote a letter to Cao Rui begging for appointment. His words were sincere and impassioned, and his heart of fist and fist could move a man with a heart of stone.

When Cao Rui ascended the throne, he used the good to punish the bad, and all the officials were convinced; Cao Zhen lived hard, shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, the army was stable, the Cao's regime transitioned smoothly, and Cao Wei sprouted vitality again.Soon, Cao Pi's confidant, Wu Zhi, one of the four friends who had made great contributions to Cao Pi's supremacy, died of illness.Wu Zhi was bohemian and uninhibited. Cao Pi relied on Cao Pi's favor and trust to fly domineeringly during his reign. Cao Rui disliked him. I am afraid that Cao Rui and Cao Zhen will not be tolerated, and worry too much and become sick or even die.Cao Rui's posthumous posthumous title was Marquis Chou, and his son Wu Ying went to Shushu several times to argue that he was wronged, but Cao Rui did not respond. Because Wu Zhi's daughter married Sima Shi as his wife, Wu Ying asked Chen Qun to transfer him to Guanzhong and join Sima Yi. up.

Shan Ying told the whole story of Cao Zhang's death in battle, and Cao Rui burst into tears: "Uncle Ziwen's death is my fault."

Cao Rui loved Cao Fang very much, adopted him as his adopted son, named him Lanqing, and kept him in the palace.Because Cao Rui died in person, Cao Rui intended to make Cao Fang the crown prince.Cao Zhi's confession did not impress Cao Rui, who is as heart-like as Gujing, but sent someone to praise him.

When Cao Zhang was buried, Cao Rui also bestowed 100 warriors with Luan Ren Long Banner and Huben.When Cao Rui and Wen Wu had dispersed, Shan Ying knelt down for a long time speechless, then suddenly got up and drew his knife to kill himself.Cao Rui thought he was a strong man and was buried beside Cao Zhang.

Guo Huai withdrew from Xudu, and stationed in Yangzhai with Chen Tai, Zhang Hu, Zhong Yu, Guo Yi, etc. He Kui and He Zeng stationed in Xinzheng, and each built a long fortress to defend.Originally, Cao Zhang's former troops were scattered, and with a heart of guilt, about 500 people threw themselves into Cao Kai's camp.

Wu Gang was afraid of being deceived and did not dare to pursue him. After the Wei army had withdrawn, he regretted it, and Duanmuling also regretted it.A few days later, Wen Qin's messenger arrived, and the two were quite shocked. They were not only lamented by Cao Zhang's death, but also worried about the delicacy of the Han army.

The two counties of Chenliu and Yingchuan were attached to the Han Dynasty, and the whole territory of Yanzhou was recovered. Unfortunately, the treasury of the two counties was empty, and the people were only old and sick. The fields were all barren.Wu Gang moved the governor's office to Xudu, mobilized supplies from Xuzhou and Qingzhou to help the counties, and asked the states for help and immigrants.

Wu Gang's main task is to resume production in Yanzhou in terms of political affairs and people's livelihood. The military will be dominated by Lu Xun and Xu Huang, and Zhou Cang gave Lu Xun an order to attack Luoyang in six months. Difficulty will be doubled.

It was difficult for Duanmuling to play a role in Xudu, so he and Ma Yunlu rushed to Wancheng to join Zhoucang.Unexpectedly, he met Zhou Cang from Zhengtu Xudu in Ye County, and his nephew Ma Cheng was with him.Ma Yunlu first got the good news of Ma Dai's return, and seeing his son Ma Cheng again, he was very happy.

Knowing that the Wei army has completely retreated, the original plan to keep Guo Huai in Xudu fell through. Sizhou will focus on Hulao Pass and build it into an iron wall; Sizhou has 15 soldiers and horses, which can be expanded to 20 at any time. The food and grass can last for two years, Zhou Cang frowned.Sizhou is definitely hard to stop the big man, but the protracted war makes him very unhappy.

After much deliberation, Zhou Cang decided to give Sizhou to Lu Xun. This achievement must be obtained by Lu Xun. He ordered Ma Cheng to go to Jinan to report to Xu Shu, and attached a letter, suggesting that Ma Chengbei be Cao Xing's deputy. There will be only one person left, and he is not young.

Handing over the defense of Ye County to Huang Xu, Zhou Cang led Duan Muling and others back to Wancheng to attack Wei Xing westward. , flew into a rage, the world is uncertain, the soldiers are so arrogant, and the way to win and lose is also.Order Xu Gai and Zhou Ting to be demoted as school lieutenants, which is a big mistake; Lu Xun and Xu Huang are fined for half a year;
