Although there were only a few people left in the room, they were not the elites among the Cao clan, or they were Cao Cao's true confidants.
Just as Tong Tian Ji had guessed, Cao Cao had already made a decision.
While he still has some trump cards in his hand, if he turns to the Jin army at this time, he can at least count as some chips.
In other words, if Cao Cao surrendered to the Jin army before the war with Zhao Kuangyin, what treatment would he receive? If Cao Cao surrendered to the Jin army after being destroyed by Zhao Kuangyin, what treatment would he have received?
It is the same?
Although the contrast is not as obvious now, there is definitely a difference in the middle.
When the end is truly reached, no matter how many people will be able to escape by then, even if they escape, as bereaved dogs, what status will they still have if they escape to the territory of the Jin army?
Since Cao Cao has decided to surrender, he might as well move the entire clan and all the clans under him there! If only some people leave and leave their family members in Chenliu, waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to break the city is not a matter of waiting.
Seeking death?
Don't look at the fact that after Liu Bang's death, several of his generals defected to the Jin Army and Liu Bei respectively. Jiang Xiaobai and others also traveled thousands of miles to see Qin Shihuang, but only a few of them went there. Don't they have family members?
Fortunately for Jiang Xiaobai's group, that old guy Jiang Ziya had already paved the way for them, and at least everyone brought a few important family members with them. As for most of them, sometimes there was nothing they could do.
At this point, you have to give up.
But Liu Bang's generals, whether they defected to Liu Bei or Li Xiang, didn't take any of their family members with them, so what good outcome would they have in the end?
Therefore, Liu Bang's group of people, whether they defected to Liu Bei or to Li Xiang, definitely had a deep hatred against the Qin army, and they were the kind of people who really had a blood feud.
After all, a large number of civil and military members of the Cao Group were also with Cao Cao. No matter whether Cao Cao still had ambitions at that time or whether he had given up on them, any qualified ruler would not relax his guard against Cao Cao.
Although Liu Che had not handed over Jiaozhou to Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, he would definitely have to wait until the transaction was completed before he could release the chips in his hands.
But even so, there were still some who were weak and weak and did not survive the disease on the way, or fell at the hands of the assassins of the Jin army. Although only some family members and some important people died, most of them were still well protected.
Even if he goes to Li Xiang, Li Xiang will never reuse him. He may only get a very high position, but it is a position without any real power. At that time, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
The only real option is to eat and wait for death. And even if Cao Cao is willing to lie down, he will probably be under the surveillance of the Jin army all the time.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang could not really take action. But if the Jin army took action, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to rush to rescue him.
With Cao Wenzhao as the chief general, Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, as his deputy general, Cheng Yu, Cen Wenwen, Lu Miaozi and others as counselors, led three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and generals Xia Houying, Tian Ji, You Liang, Cao Kerang, Yin Kaishan,
Xu Chu, Xu Long, Xu Feng, Xu Yan, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Cao Wenbao, Lu Qian, Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Mo served as generals to reinforce Dongjun to stop Shi Shouxin's troops.
Although there are many experts among this group of people, and the number of guards along the way is certainly not small, it is impossible to stop the assassinations one after another.
As for Cao Cao himself, he was not willing to leave.
If it were just a few civil and military personnel, perhaps the actions involved would not be big, but with so many people’s families leaving, how could the actions in between be concealed? No matter how ill-informed the other civil and military officials were, they would always
I heard some noise.
There was only one Liu Che among them, and Liu Che had paved the way for them early, so many of them had arrived in Qingzhou smoothly.
After this news spread, the entire Cao Group was shocked, especially those generals who were not selected.
As long as they can break out, they can give full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry, and advance towards the Jin army's territory at the fastest speed without stopping along the way. As an envoy, Xun You never returned to Cao Cao, just to help Cao Cao and the others.
Open up the joints of the Jin army here.
To put it bluntly, the most elite generals of the Cao Group in Chenliu are all here! If these toughest generals are transferred, even if Shi Shouxin can hold on to Dongjun, but at that time
Can Chen Liu be saved? Even the core base camp is gone, so what’s the point of Dongjun?
Moreover, don't forget that it's not just this group of civil and military personnel who are leaving, but also their families.
Do they really think they are fools? Even if they go to support Dongjun, do they need so many generals?
At Cao Cao's age, half of his body is buried in the earth. He has already been wonderful enough in this life, and he is not happy to live like this for the rest of his life. If so, it is better to let him be buried here.
Including Cao Cao, there were less than ten people in total, but they plotted for an entire afternoon. It was not until the next day that Cao Cao openly announced it to everyone.
At the same time, a large number of carrier pigeons flew out of the city. The contents on the carrier pigeons were encrypted and could only be understood by the Cao clan. Cao Wenzhao and his group were about to break out, but Cao Ren and Cao Zhen
, Cao Cao will not ignore it either.
Even if the floating house is really weak in the south, it can still organize a few assassinations, and the Jin Yiwei is just pretending.
If you are not used by me, you will be killed by me.
It is precisely based on this that if Cao Cao wants to transfer the family members of his Cao family and the family members of his ministers to the territory of the Jin army, he must make plans as early as possible, at least while he still has some strength in his hands.
.
Ordinary troops and horses were actually a drag at this time, and the Jin army did not lack Cao Cao's troops and horses. Therefore, the only troops and horses that accompanied Cao Wenzhao to break out of the encirclement were actually the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
For a moment, the whole Chenliu was in chaos.
However, before the civil and military forces of the Cao family, whose hearts were already in chaos, could make other moves, Cao Cao's next move had already begun.
Using his prestige, Cao Cao took the initiative to force the generals in the city to send troops out to fight Zhao Kuangyin, while the remaining Cao Chun and others took advantage of this opportunity to break out of the encirclement.
Although the most capable generals of the Cao Group have followed Cao Wenzhao to break out of the encirclement, it does not mean that Cao Cao really has no one left...
