Chen Tai sat on the back of the horse, his body leaning back and forth with the war horse, and his neck shaking even more violently, making people worried whether his neck would break.
The chief clerk Liu Tao sighed secretly. Chen Tai, who was born in the Chen family in Yingchuan, has always paid attention to his appearance, but now he actually showed such a depressed state. You can imagine how frustrated he was. He worked with Chen Tai for three or four years, and he was the first.
I saw Chen Tai lose his composure this time.
Liu Tao urged the horse to rush over, marched with Chen Taitou, and whispered: "Eunuch, do you want to take a break? You seem to be very tired."
Chen Tai was shocked, then straightened his body, rubbed his eyes, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's indeed a little tired, but it's not a problem. Just take a nap. If you have a rest for no reason, it will make the soldiers suspicious."
Liu Tao did not object. He didn't really want to rest, but just wanted to remind Chen Tai.
"Are you worried about Luoyang?" Liu Tao asked. Chen Tai decided to give up the rescue of Liaodong without receiving the edict from Luoyang. He was worried that the emperor would blame him, and some psychological pressure was normal. "Gongsun Yuan refused to give in for a long time.
Our army entered Yan territory and delayed the opportunity. It was his own fault, not the envoy's fault. If there was an imperial edict in Luoyang, even if Tao was humble and said lightly, he should speak impartially."
"Thank you Ji Zhi." Chen Tai shook his head and said, "However, what I am worried about is not that Luoyang has an imperial edict to hold accountable, but that I think the world is not... it's not possible." He looked around and lowered his voice a little: "
Wei Ba’s strength is stronger than last time when he goes to war. On the other hand, I, Dawei, have I ever had a rest in the past few years?"
Liu Tao remained silent. He knew that Chen Tai was worried about was even more serious.
Chen Tai sighed repeatedly: "Wei Ba is not in the East China Sea, but his hands are always in the East China Sea. He is cutting flesh and drinking blood all the time. Now, the five states of Qingxu, Yan, Jiyou, and the merchants from the south are everywhere. They are hard to guard against, and they sell all kinds of flashy but not practical.
The precious treasures and treasures of the country were soaring, and a large amount of money was out of their way, but the soldiers were not rewarded as they deserved, and the people were dispersed, and the country was full of ambition. This time, Changli surrendered without a fight, and Qingzhou and Youzhou would be very dangerous next.
In this case, how many powerful people can really put their minds into state affairs?"
Liu Tao nodded slowly: "What do you think of the envoy?"
Chen Tai was puzzled: "What can I have? As the governor of Youzhou, I must of course do my best to survive and die in Youzhou."
Liu Tao pondered for a moment: "General, have you ever thought that my hometown Yangzhou has been lost for several years, and the general's hometown Yingchuan has fallen into the years since Lu Xun, and we have all become homeless people."
Chen Tai was stunned, then lowered his face and looked sharp: "Liu Jizhi. What do you mean?"
Liu Tao was calm and explained quietly: "What I want to remind the envoy is that half of my hometown is now in the fall of my hometown, and I am afraid I don't have the intention to be loyal to the Great Wei. The reason why I am still in violation of it
In the past few years, the situation was still unclear. If Wei Zheng returned and the offensive was fierce, our Great Wei was declining. The envoy said just now that he had the aura of destruction of his country. How many people in Luoyang could still serve the country?"
Chen Tai was shocked and frightened. He looked at Liu Tao and didn't say anything for a long time. What he was worried about was the difficult times of national destiny. However, the powerful people in Luoyang were still addicted to pleasure and did not care about national affairs. Liu Tao saw it even more
Far, I think this is the trend of the world. He is concerned about human affairs, but Liu Tao is concerned about destiny.
Liu Ye was a close minister of Cao Wei and was an important counselor since Cao Cao's era. Although he was alienated by the emperor, he was still an important official of the country. Liu Tao had such a mind. What do those who were originally distracted from Cao Wei think? What is
Human heart, what is destiny? Human heart is destiny.
In this way, it is not just that Liaodong cannot be obtained, but that in the world cannot be obtained.
Chen Tai lost his mind for a moment and the horse whip fell to the ground.
Liu Tao remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
A cavalry rushed from a distance, and judging from the colorful flags on the knight's back, it should be the 600-limit rapid increase from Luoyang. In the context of the national economic downturn, the 600-limit rapid increase was no longer true because it could not be maintained.
The current 600-mile rush can only ensure that the stairs and horses can be retained in the Pavilions and Posts near the county town. It is impossible to change horses every thirty miles, and of course the speed will be greatly affected. Even so, this kind of thing can be used
The amount of important information is still conveyed in a small amount.
For example, an edict.
Liu Tao pushed Chen Tai: "The envoy seems to be an edict from Luoyang."
Chen Tai was shocked and quickly sorted out his clothes and stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.
The content of the edict is very obscure. Cao Rui asked Chen Taiguan to act from time to time, and not to force himself, nor could he miss the general trend of Youzhou by rescuing Liaodong. The meaning here is actually very clear: give up Liaodong and let Gongsun Yuan die on his own.
Chen Tai felt his heart beating. Gongsun Yuan's King of Yan was conferred by Wei State. Now Gongsun Yuan was attacked by Wei State, but the emperor asked him to give up rescue. He didn't even need to do the form of rescue. For Wei State, it was like
He endured a loud slap in the face. He was appointed Gongsun Yuan as king in order to compete with Shu Han for Liaodong. Now Shu Han used force to attack, but Wei gave up. If he had known this, why should he have been there?
Chen Tai and Liu Tao exchanged glances, and both saw something from each other's eyes.
...
Wei Ba didn't care what Chen Tai was thinking now. Although he didn't know what Cao Rui would think about Liaodong, he knew that with Cao Wei's current situation, they could not have any ideas about Liaodong. They could only watch him ask for it and humiliate him wantonly.
Gongsun Yuan.
The reason is very simple. Cao Wei is now a clay Buddha crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself. Xiahou Ba's army confronted Li Yan in Bingzhou, and Sima Yi's army confronted Lu Xun and Ma Zhong in Suiyang, and could not draw any extra troops to support Liaodong.
With the more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry led by Chen Tai, he could not save Gongsun Yuan's destiny.
After taking Changli, Wei Ba asked Xiahou Xuan to arrive at Changli to defend the city, and led a large army to advance on land and land, and rushed to Xiangping.
At the same time, Deng Ai, Wuqiu Jian and Goguryeo Palace led an army of 30,000 to Xinchang County, south of Xiangping. After defeating the army of Bei Yan and Liu Yi, they did not encounter any strong obstacles and successfully set up the line.
Advance to Xinchang.
In the end of April, Wei Ba and Deng Ai met with Liao Sui.
Gongsun Yuan sent the crown prince Gongsun Xiu to negotiate with Wei Ba and was willing to surrender to Shu Han.
Facing Gongsun Xiu, Wei Ba smiled disdainfully, twisted his fingers and said, "I asked you to surrender to you, and I could be appointed as the King of Yan. You don't take it seriously, and you should hook up with Cao Rui. Now my army is at the city.
, Cao Rui refused to save him when he saw that he was dead, are you willing to surrender?"
Gongsun Xiu sweated like rain and bowed and said, "The foolish father and son do not know the destiny, have no eyes, and misunderstand Cao Rui's words, and regret it. He hopes that the general will give mercy and allow my father and son to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to the right path."
"If you want to surrender, of course I can't stop you, but you still want to be king, aren't you a little delusional?"
Gongsun Xiu's face changed, and a fine bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. He said in a cold voice: "Although the general's soldiers are brave and the warships are invincible in the world, generals should not forget that this is Liaodong. No matter how strong the infantry is, they cannot catch up with the cavalry.
No matter how big the warship is, it cannot reach the shore. Not to mention Xiangping, even Liaosui is probably not as easy to attack as the general thinks."
Wei Ba couldn't help laughing. He stood up, walked to Gongsun Xiu, stretched his neck, looked at Gongsun Xiu carefully for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "The frog in the well, dares to say three things in front of me.
Dao Four, I really don’t know the sky is high and the earth is thick.”
Gongsun Xiu's face was flushed and his nose was heavy, and he was about to get angry. He was stimulated by Wei Ba's words. He lived in Liaodong and was most afraid of people saying that he was a little knowledge, not to mention that Wei Ba still used such contempt.
Tone, he was not even treated as a prince, even ordinary people.
"Do you know what tactics my lord is best at?" Gu Cheng walked over and looked at Gongsun Xiu with pity.
"Although Xiu lives in Liaodong, he knows a little about the world's affairs. The battle between the chariot and cavalry is invincible in the world, but..."
"You are wrong." Gu Cheng interrupted Gongsun Xiu, and the pity in his eyes became stronger. "My king's navy is indeed invincible in the world, but what he is most proud of is not the water battle. As you said
Our navy is invincible in the world and has no opponent at all. No matter how you fight, you will win, so what can you be proud of? The tactic that my lord is best at is siege."
"Siege the city?" Gongsun Xiu was shocked, and then realized what Gu Cheng was going to say, and his face turned pale immediately.
That's right, before Wei Ba's navy was rampant, Wei Ba was already famous all over the world, but what made his prestige reach its peak was not his impressive record, or even his later warships, but his conquering Wancheng in one fell swoop.
.
That time, the fire bomb appeared out of nowhere.
That time, the siege tactics of thousands of thunderbolt cars shocked the world.
That time, Wei Ba changed the development process of the siege tactics, and cities were no longer an insurmountable obstacle.
Gongsun and his son thought Wei Ba's reliance was the navy, but they were wrong. Wei Ba's strongest was the armor, which was various armor and tactics used to siege the city. It was really wrong for them to threaten Wei Ba by relying on the city siege battle.
Outrageous.
Gongsun Xiu sweated like rain and could not say a word.
"It seems that you still don't know much about me." Wei Ba waved his hand: "You go back first. After I capture Liaoshu, you can understand something and think about the conditions before we talk about it."
Without giving Gongsun Xiu any chance to defend himself, Wei Ba rushed him out and immediately ordered to prepare for the siege.
Gongsun Xiu returned to Liaosui City in a daze and told the general Yang Zuo about the negotiations. Yang Zuo's face turned pale. He stuttered and said, "Master Guan really made the mistake, the sky fire came from the south.
Come?"
Gongsun Xiu was already depressed enough. After hearing this sentence, he remembered Guan Lu's verdict at the beginning, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.
"General, Liao Sui... This name is a bit ominous." Gongsun Xiu looked at Yang Zuo, "Could it be true today?"
