Chapter 419 Conceal
"The lord asked me to give Cao Hong's body to Cao Cao?" In Wuwei City, Fa Zheng frowned and looked at the messenger standing quietly above the hall with some uncertainty.
"That's right, and it should be sent in full swing. The bigger the momentum, the better." The messenger arched his hand.
"Military division, what's wrong?" When the messenger left, Zhang Kuang turned his head and looked at the right way.
And Wang Yi, Zhao Yun and others also looked at Fa Zheng doubtfully. They are generals who died in the battlefield like Cao Hong. Although they have long been used to it, they still have some respect in their hearts. It is not a strange thing to send Cao Hong's body back and let his family be buried.
"Of course it's not appropriate. If the lord really sympathies Cao Hong's sincerity and faithfulness and sends his body back, why do you send it with great fanfare and also send it to Cao Cao, who is far away in Jizhou?"
Cao Hong's family is in Xudu. Liu Qi can ask them to send Cao Hong's body to Xudu. Why did he send it to Cao Cao? Isn't this irritating Cao Cao?
"I think the master just wants to humiliate Cao Cao. The military division doesn't have to make a fuss." Zhang shook his head and didn't think much about it. Now Liangzhou has completely fallen into the hands of Jingzhou.
After a few days of rectification, the whole Liangzhou is also under the control of Jingzhou. Several important cities have also sent heavy troops to garrison. Coupled with the cooperation of Ma Chao and others, even Cao Cao is not afraid to come.
"So that's it?" While several people were meditating, Fa Zheng suddenly patted his forehead and suddenly realized.
"Military, what's wrong?" Seeing that the law was like this, Wang Yi asked in a frenze.
"The lord did this to stabilize Cao Cao and buy time for Jingzhou. Cao Hong was killed in battle, and the whole army of 20,000 tigers and leopards was destroyed. The lord's power was at the top of the day. Yuan Shao's momentum was gone, and no one in the whole north was Cao Cao's opponent. The lord and Cao Cao have always had old grievances. Coupled with this incident, Cao Cao will definitely not let the master develop. The master did this to make Cao Cao afraid.
Fa Zheng shook his head, but he secretly praised it in his heart. With Cao Cao's character, he should be cautious when he saw Cao Hong's body even if he wanted to deal with Jingzhou. And since Liu Qi does this, there must be still a lot of backhand.
Thinking of this, Fa Zheng looked up at several people again.
"The lord's intention is extremely obvious, and we can't sit idly by. From now on, all the generals will train soldiers and prepare for war at any time, just in case."
"Also, since Cao Hong's body is to be given to Cao Cao Cao, Han Sui's head will also be given to Cao Cao. It is said that Han Sui rebelled against the army and caused trouble to one side. The lord is a relative of the Han family and fights at the festival. Now the scourge has been killed. Liangzhou has been determined for the first time. I hope that the emperor can pity the people of Liangzhou and repay the people. I hope that the lord will temporarily replace the position of Liangzhou Pastor.
"Okay, just do as the military division says." Zhang Yan's eyes also lit up, which was equivalent to forcing Cao Cao to make concessions. If Cao Cao had the slightest fear and hesitation, he would not dare to start a war with Jingzhou at this time.
Half an hour later, a group of cavalry quickly left Wuwei City and escorted a coffin to Jizhou.
..............................................................................
Jizhou
Since Yuan Shao's defeat, the whole Jizhou has been in turmoil. Each state and county has fought separately, and more and more cities have been conquered under the attack of Cao Cao.
The land of the four states under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao has been conquered by Cao Cao, and he can only passively defend and defend.
At this time, the whole Cao Cao's camp was full of joy. Three days ago, Cao Cao ordered a feast for three days. Although I don't know why, the whole army was excited to get to Cao Cao.
In the big account of the Chinese army, Cao Cao sat above, and the generals and soldiers under his command were all here.
"Lord, the news has been confirmed, and Yuan Shao is indeed deceased." Under the gaze of everyone, Cheng Yu said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, as soon as Yuan Shao died, the whole Jizhou was all in the master's bag."
"Yes, Yuan Shao's three sons and brothers are all strawbags. Now that Yuan Shao dies, who else can stabilize the situation?"
.................................
With the confirmed news, everyone was relieved. Although Yuan Shao has won in a row these days, the whole Yuan Shao did not die for a day, and everyone was uneasy. Yuan Shao's prestige in the whole Jizhou was still extremely high.
Even Cao Cao's face was full of smiles: "Haha, Yuan Benchu, you died in front of me after all."
Although there are preparations in advance for this decisive battle with Yuan Shao, it is difficult to predict the outcome. If Yuan Shao hadn't made mistakes over and over again, he would have died at this time. Now that he learned that Yuan Shao was dead, the last big stone that pressed on Cao Cao's heart finally landed.
"Lord, now that Yuan Shao is dead, the whole city of Ye must be in chaos. Why don't you take the opportunity to attack and conquer the city of Ye in one fell swoop?" General Xia Houyuan stood up with an excited face and said.
"Yes, Lord, this is the best time to attack Ye City." Cao Ren also stood up.
A group of generals looked at Cao Cao one by one, and their eyes flashed with a fighting spirit, waiting for Cao Cao's order.
It seemed to be moved by everyone's fighting spirit. At this time, Cao Cao's eyes also flashed with fighting spirit and was eager to try. It seemed that he would order the attack of Ye City the next moment.
"Lord, you can't." At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded, which shocked everyone here.
Everyone looked at it, but Xu You, who had just defected to Cao Cao. Although Xu You had just defected to Cao Cao, everyone did not dare to look down. According to everyone's speculation, the person who offered tricks to Cao Cao to burn the black nest is this person, so this person is also trusted by Cao Cao.
Being looked at by everyone, Xu You did not feel any discomfort. He stood up and saluted Cao Cao and said, "Master, Yuan Shao has just died at this time. Although the whole Ye City is in chaos, if the Lord attacks Ye City at this time, the three brothers of the Yuan family will definitely join hands to fight against the Lord for the time being, as long as after these three people tear their faces, It's not too late to attack Ye City.
Although Cao Cao's attack on Ye City at this time can consume Cao Cao's troops, several people under Cao Cao's command are not idle people. It can definitely be seen that at this time, it is nothing more than that he doesn't want to pour cold water on all the generals.
He was ordered to defect to Cao Cao. In order to respond to the decisive battle between Liu Qi and Cao Cao in the future, he must gain Cao Cao's trust. Only by thoroughly regard himself as Cao Cao's person can he not arouse Cao Cao's suspicion. The power that can be mobilized is also greater.
He still remembers what Xu Shu told him at the beginning: "You don't need to do anything, and you don't need to think about anything. You just need to do your best to plan for Cao Cao. What the lord wants you to do is a fatal blow, not a small fight."
Xu Shu's meaning is very clear. He doesn't need him to do anything for Jingzhou. All he can do at this time is to add a little strength to Jingzhou. It's better to give Cao Cao a fatal blow when he controls more power and Liu Qi.
He didn't know how many counselors lurked beside Cao Cao like him, but after seeing Jin Yiwei's methods, he knew that there were no small number of them.
"Ziyuan is right. It's not too late to wait until the three brothers of the Yuan family are dead and alive." Guo Jia also nodded with a smile.
"In this case, it's not too late for the army to retreat ten miles, stop all attacks, and let the three brothers of the Yuan fight?" Cao Cao also reacted at this time and nodded and gave an order.
"Sent someone to Ye City to mourn Yuan Benchu and tell the three brothers of the Yuan family that I will not attack Ye City within half a year." Cao Cao said again that the half-year appointment was just a joke, just to calm the hearts of the three people and let the three people let go and fight.
Drip-on..................
"Lord, the big deal is not good. Xu Du sent the news that General Cao was defeated, and the whole army was destroyed by 20,000 tigers and leopards."
Just as several people were discussing how to attack Ye City, a scout general suddenly broke in and said anxiously.
"What?"
Hearing the scout's words, several people immediately stood up in shock, with an unbelievable face.
"What did you say?" Cao Ren was the first to react, came to the scout in a few steps, grabbed the scout's collar and shouted harshly.
"General...General Cao Hong..." The scout general turned pale with fear and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Cao Ren in a panic. He was the personal guard in Cao Cao's mansion. Under the death order, he must tell Cao Cao the news as soon as possible. The news that Cao Hong died and the tiger and leopard riding the whole army had long spread all over Xudu. Moreover, the news that Liu Qi ordered Cao Hong's body to be transported to Jizhou has also been well known, so he did not hide it and say it directly. I just didn't expect that there would be so many people in the big account.
After taking over the bamboo slip, Cao Hong pushed the young general away and opened the bamboo slip. His eyes were about to crack just by looking at it. He threw the bamboo slip to the ground and was furious: "Liu Qi, child, you are bullying too much! I will smash you into ten thousand pieces in my life.
Seeing that Cao Ren was so angry, everyone in the big account was depressed.
Xu You's face changed several times. He stepped forward and picked up the bamboo slips on the ground. When he looked at them, the shock in his eyes became stronger and stronger. After a while, he realized it and quickly stepped forward and handed the bamboo slips to Cao Cao.
After watching the bamboo slips, Cao Cao's face was already green, and the blue veins were beating on his arm. His eyes were murderous, and there was a silence in the whole tent.
After a while, when everyone reacted, everyone in the whole big account looked gloomy. Only Guo Jiachengyu and others looked at Zhu Jian with a thoughtful face, and their eyes were more afraid.
Liu Qi did this. Did he want to provoke Cao Cao and give up attacking Jizhou, or did he want Cao Cao to be afraid? They are not too sure about this, but it is very clear that Jingzhou is already Cao Cao's confidant at this time. If Jingzhou is not hit or even destroyed, Cao Cao will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"You can retreat, Feng Xiao, Zhong De, and Wen Ruo stay!" After the silence, Cao Cao waved his hand to make everyone retreat.
Everyone looked at each other and knew that Cao Cao was going to discuss this matter with Guo Jia and others. They all got up and left. Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and said, "A Kyi, Hong Di can't die like this."
After saying that, Cao Ren did not turn around and left.
Hearing Cao Ren's words, Cao Cao's body was shocked and he nodded fiercely.
