"Run quickly, be careful not to be timid and look back." Qian Shu Li Cai
After being silent for a long time, Xun finally remembered what he should say to the other party. At this time, he was also attracted by the faint trace of red air above his head. He raised his head and looked at the sky in despair, and suddenly said, "Meng De is blaming me."
"I have never blamed you." Cao Cao waved his hand and said firmly, "I have been fighting for several years and have been betrayed more than once or twice by Lu Boshe, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others. Since they abandoned me and betrayed me, why should I betray them?"
"If you are kind and forgiving and now you are an enemy, you should face each other through life and death. How can you be like a woman or a child who clings to the kindness of the past?"
If it was said that Cao Cao was soft-hearted, nostalgic for old friendships, and unwilling to kill Zhang Miao, Xun categorically did not believe it. He believed that in his own way of looking at people, Cao Cao was an ambitious man who would never be swayed by his emotions. But why was Cao Cao these days?
Slowing down the pace of the march and showing no urgency about this matter? Doesn't this make you look soft and hesitant?
Xun couldn't help but think deeply and thought that Cao Cao's behavior was not simple. He carefully avoided the topic and said calmly, "What happens tomorrow depends entirely on Duke Cao."
Cao Cao lowered his head and watched his beloved horse eat fodder intently. He seemed unaware of Xun's departure.
After a trace of sharpness, knowing that Xun was a little sorry for him, then everything he did was worth it.
"Lord." Shi Huan, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, led a burly man over.
"Yes." Cao Cao responded lightly and looked up. He saw this tall man who looked resolute, courageous, steady and down-to-earth. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. "I've heard of Chen Liu Dianjun's name as a flag bearer. Back then,
Meng Zhuo also wanted to entrust you to me, but he didn't expect that time has changed and things have ended up in this situation. Shi Huan, you have also seen it, what are your plans in the future?"
"Zhang Fujun also talked about Duke Cao with me, and Brother Shi praised him endlessly, saying that Cao Gong's talents are rare in the world." Dian Wei bowed his hands and said a few polite words, then looked sad, "I serve Zhang Fujun.
For the Lord, the king is still here, so I don’t dare to do what he wants anymore.”
Shi Huan was a knight-errant swordsman. He traveled around Yannan and Henan. He was quite heroic and had a personal relationship with Dian Wei and other knights. Although he now guards the Chinese army under Cao Cao and becomes a lieutenant in the Chinese army, he still has a close relationship with a group of knights.
We keep in touch with old friends, and Dian Wei is one of them.
"Don't worry." Cao Cao took a step forward, raised his hand and patted Dian Wei's shoulder. Dian Wei's shoulder was as high as Cao Cao's forehead, but Cao Cao was confident when he raised his hand to reach out to him, without any violation. He knew
Dian Wei's inner perseverance was that it was not easy to achieve this step, so he was not in a hurry to urge him, "Although I can't protect Meng Zhuo and Meng Gao, I can guarantee that their families and relatives will be safe. As for
You, I plan to temporarily entrust you to Xia Houyuanrang, who is the governor of Dongjun. In the future, you will have many opportunities to atone for your sins when you regain Dongjun."
"Thank you Duke Cao for your kindness." Dian Wei's thick shoulder was lightly patted by Cao Cao, and he bowed down like a mountain, "It's just that the old master is still here, so I don't dare to accept another salary."
"Then let's take a short break." The admiration in Cao Cao's eyes became stronger. He was neither humble nor arrogant, loyal to serve, and good at making the best choice for himself and his master. Such a character, as long as he is polished, he can
After all, this is what Zhang Miao left to him. "I heard that you are good at dancing with two halberds. When you have free time in the future, you can dance for me again."
On the sixth day of October, Cao Cao, who was belatedly arrived, finally arrived at Yongqiu. In front of the famous Zhu, he showed his attitude as a junior. He restrained his troops, dressed lightly and obeyed, and brought Dongping Xiangxun who came with the army.
, Wang Bi and other advisers entered the city to meet former general Zhu, and met the powerful general Fan Chou, Henan Yin Luoye, embroidered clothes envoy and military officer Jia Xu and other important civil and military officials stationed in Guandong.
"Zhang Miao, the leader of the bandits, was defeated and fled. As a result, even if our army went to Chenliu, we could not claim full success, and we would still be criticized when we reported to the imperial court. Fortunately, Cao Zhendong came to help and intercepted the leader of the bandits on his way, so it would be better for us to wait.
Write a good report." Zhu majestically sat on the main seat, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Cao Zhendong will be fine if he doesn't come, but he has made great achievements as soon as he comes, which is extraordinary."
This was intended to elevate Cao Cao's achievements. Although he was Zhu Xia's second-in-command, Fan Chou, who was sitting below Cao Cao in the general ranking list, snorted unexpectedly at this time. His voice was undisguised and seemed very vulgar.
present.
Cao Cao ignored Fan Chou's attitude and was not polite. He smiled and said to Zhu Gongshou, "It is my duty to relieve the imperial court from its worries."
"I have heard the name of General Zhendong for a long time, but when I saw it today, it was really different." Jia Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Since the emperor has entrusted Yan and Xu states, he must be well aware of the general's capabilities. Now Hanoi has been decided, and Huainan will be peaceful.
Only Dongjun in Yanzhou has not been restored, and the general has been here for many years, so I would like to invite more of you to be the pioneers."
Hanoi has been pacified
Cao Cao shook his eyebrows inadvertently. Huainan Yuan Shu faced off against Liu Bei and Tian Chou alone, but they were able to draw a few points, but if they faced the attacks of Liu Bei, Liu Ai and others at the same time, it was expected that they would be difficult to parry, and
The imperial court seemed to have some leeway in Yuzhou and Yangzhou. So when he heard that Huainan generals had been defeated, Cao Cao was not much surprised, but the news from Hanoi made him a little moved.
"Meng De doesn't know something. Just a few days ago, Zhang Liao, the general who was protecting the Huns, sent troops to Shangdang and defeated Yuan Xi in Chaoge." Seeing Cao Cao's surprised expression, Zhu squinted and smiled.
Cao Cao's face became a little cautious. He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I secretly observed that the imperial court mobilized troops. It seems that it has the intention of revitalizing Guandong, but I don't know what the holy intention is and when the war will be scheduled."
"God's will is far-fetched, it's something you and I can't know." Zhu Jian replied briefly, staring at Cao Cao again, feeling more and more that this man with a majestic appearance and short stature was not simple. "What Jia Canjun said just now, I don't know what Meng De meant."
Down"
Cao Cao immediately sat upright and solemnly said, "Since I have received your salary, I am willing to serve you as your order."
When the two sides met for the first time, they only discussed the war, completely ignoring the fate of Zhang Miao and others. Perhaps this was a trivial matter in the first place. The fate of the three Zhang clans in Dongping, totaling thousands of people, had been decided long before this meeting.
Sounded.
On the day when the military strategy was agreed upon, Cao Cao was ordered to execute Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and other bandit leaders, and their families and children were all moved to Liangzhou for resettlement. Then both sides mobilized their troops, with Cao Cao leading the headquarters and Zhu leading the middle army.
Behind them, they responded back and forth and headed straight for Dongjun. Unexpectedly, before the army reached the Yellow River, they heard an unexpected and yet expected news.
Zang Hong, the prefect of Dongjun who was appointed by Yuan Shao, after learning that Zhang Chao was defeated and died, cried three times and went to his room with guilt and mourning for his old friend Zhang Chao, and struggled with whether the moral principles he had always upheld were correct.
In pain, he drew his sword and killed himself.
Zang Hong's troops dispersed in large numbers, and Tian Fen did not dare to stay any longer. He gathered all his belongings and fled to Hebei.
Zhu and others had achieved such results before they even set off, leaving everyone unsatisfied. Just when Zhu was considering whether to continue to advance, an edict came flying from Chang'an, stopping them in their tracks.
