Chapter 201 Chapter Twenty-Eight

Cao Cao's enlightened political attitude of "not counting after autumn" reassured the chiefs of Hanzhong counties and counties who had helped Zhang Lu. Can resume production quickly. At the beginning of December, Cao Cao arranged all the affairs in Hanzhong, leaving Zhang Lu to lead more than 5,000 elite troops to guard Nanzhengwai, and the squadron returned to the court.Before Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu and captured Yangping Pass , or ride in front of the army on horseback, take the lead in overcoming obstacles, or personally roll up their trousers and wade through the stream and refuse the support of the generals.But after the pacification of Hanzhong, I felt too exhausted physically and mentally on the way back.

You can't march unless you lie in the car and soft seats.For this reason, he once sighed quietly in the car: "It's old! It's useless!" When Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, Xi Sui, the chief executive of Hanzhong appointed by him, followed his instructions to relocate the wealthy households in Hanzhong to Luoyang, and began to drive these people into the city with half-voluntary and half-forced behavior. migrant. After Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took the initiative to come from Xudu to Yecheng to comfort Cao Cao.This move of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty caused an uproar among the political factions in the north.vintage taxi

Doctors or intellectuals loyal to the imperial court thought it hurt the authority of Emperor Xian, and the scolding of Cao Cao was quite popular secretly, but in Cao Ying, the young and strong soldiers loyal to Cao Cao, scribes thought that In order to sacrifice the emperor in name only, Cao Cao should proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible.Among them, Liu Bi wrote a letter to urge Cao Cao to act early.Cao Cao wrote back and publicly stated: "Not only should the emperor know the minister, but the minister should also Dang Zhijun, if someone thinks that I have the ability to do what King Wen of Zhou did, they may be mistaken! "But Cao Cao has repeatedly stated on other occasions that he is determined to "serve the emperor" to the end.

Likewise, his contradictory rhetoric bewildered those loyal to the court, or those loyal to him.However, there is one thing that everyone agrees on - Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is just a cover The son was shaking in Cao Cao's hand to give orders. At the beginning of December in the 20th year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao was preparing to return to Yecheng, Liu Ye and Sima Yi suggested to Cao Cao to take the opportunity to attack Yizhou. Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei used a conspiracy to seize Liu Zhang's foundation. Many families in central Shu are not convinced. Moreover, Liu Bei's defense line is as far as Jiangling, and his army is scattered. It is the best way to attack him.

great opportunity.Now that the army has conquered Hanzhong, Yizhou will definitely be shaken, and under the pressure of the army, he is bound to collapse.Since ancient times, the success of the sages lies in the timing, please take action immediately move! " Cao Cao admired Sima Yi, who was full of knowledge, and he was quite happy when he heard their words of actively striving for supremacy, as if he had returned to his youth.But he Knowing that the Battle of Hanzhong was a fluke victory, attacking Yizhou is not that simple, let alone Liu Bei is not an idler. So he said with a smile: "Zhongda, of course your words are very reasonable. I have had the ambition to unify the country since I was young, but I still only occupy half of the northern rivers and mountains. The pain of life

, all come from dissatisfaction, why bother to look forward to Shu?" Although Liu Ye heard Cao Cao say this, he still persuaded Cao Cao: "My lord, Liu Bei is a hero among men. He is not familiar with military law when he marches and fights, but his political ambition should not be underestimated. Turned around in defeat, persevered, and won Shuzhong in hardships.Just as Zhongda said, he had just set foot in the middle of Shu, and his hearts were not attached to him. Now that Hanzhong is broken, the land of Shu will be shaken, and our army will take advantage of it. Conquer and kill, Liu Beizhi is bound to fail.With the lord's great talent and general strategy and wise command, if you send your troops into Sichuan, you will be invincible, and you will be invincible without any teacher.

Opportunity, Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country, Guan Yu and Zhang Feiyong are the champions of the three armies, and the people in the center of Shu will soon submit to him and then launch a conquest. I am afraid it will not be easy to win! It will be even more difficult to win if the two sides are equal in strength and then look for an opportunity to annihilate them.I think that if Liu Bei is not eliminated today, it will be a trouble for the future. " Cao Cao just smiled but was speechless. Liu and Sima saw that he was not moving, so they prepared to leave.At this time, Cao Cao stopped Liu Ye: "Since you have come to persuade me to rush to attack Liu, I must first collect the other party's troops.

Military situation, let's make a decision in the future! " Liu Ye and the two were a little disappointed, and they were thinking about Cao Cao's real intentions on their way back to their respective camps. Seven days later, Cao Cao, Liu Ye, Sima Yi, Zhang He, Xu Chu and others went hunting in the outskirts of Nanzheng.There are a lot of musk deer here. It is said that the navel of the male musk deer secretes a kind of mucus. It will emit a refreshing fragrance, and the musk deer meat is also delicious.Cao manipulated the dog to drive out a vigorous musk deer from the forest. Zhang He's eyes were sharp, and with a "whoosh", the musk deer fell down in response, and everyone in the audience

All applaud.At dusk, when the group returned with a full load, a school lieutenant pushed a spy from Shu to see Cao Cao.Cao Cao ordered him to be escorted back to the camp. Under the red candle, Liu Ye, Sima Yi and others entertained the spy with food and wine. After the man had eaten and drank enough, Sima Yi said to him: "The prime minister loves you, and you are not afraid of danger and difficult to undertake reconnaissance tasks." , I want to recruit you under my command.If you tell the truth about the situation in Sichuan, we will give you a promotion. " The Shu man's sly eyes flashed away, and then he said hesitantly: "The villain has been favored by the prime minister not to kill. If you don't tell the truth, you will be worse than a pig or a dog. Yizhou has been occupied by Liu Bei."

Afterwards, the whole state was shaken by the upheaval in Hanzhong. In one day, there were even dozens of incidents. turbulent situation. " Liu Ye listened to his intermittent words, watched his flickering eyes, and felt suspicious in his heart.But he didn't show any suspicion, and asked his attendants to arrange the accommodation for the Shu people after drinking. After the Shu people left, Liu Ye and Sima Zhongda went to report to Cao Cao. Cao Cao stood by the candle tray and cut off the long wick of the candle with scissors, and the light in the room dimmed. When Liu Ye told him the situation, Cao Cao turned around suddenly, with a slight smile in his eyes, and asked Liu Ye, "What do you think of this news?"

Liu Ye pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The middle of Shu has been settled, so it cannot be attacked." Cao Cao asked Sima Yi's opinion again, but Sima Yi still couldn't guess, Cao Cao said: "If you deliberately relax the guard on the Shu man, and he escapes tonight, it will prove that the news is false. up. " On the second day, the Shu man escaped as expected, and Sima Yi admired Cao Cao's predictions like a god. Cao Cao does not believe in false information provided by others, and is prudent and not aggressive in military operations, which shows his superhuman wisdom in military affairs.So when he returned to the division, he only sent heavy troops to guard the Han Dynasty. However, it also shows that Cao Cao's aggressive enthusiasm in his youth has been replaced by the idea of ​​"water overflowing" at this time, and his overlord's light is less dazzling; or Perhaps his view of the three points of the world has become a fixed trend. Later, when he returned to the teacher, he stepped up the plan of Cao's team and did not actively use the army. Prove it!
