Listening to Han Xin's words, Cao Cao stroked his beard and stared at Han Xin with a smile: "Hehe, General Han's tone is not small, do you know that my Great Wei suffered heavy losses after experiencing the defeat of the Central Plains, and 100,000 horses can't satisfy you?"
Han Xin hurriedly explained: "No, no, Xin, as the general of the defeated army, His Majesty can still open his mouth to give 100,000 horses, this is already a great trust, how dare Han Xin get an inch but in the face of the offensive of the Han army, 100,000 horses really don't have much effect, the minister commanded more than 100,000 Tang troops in Qingzhou, and in the end it was not a complete defeat."
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he secretly thought about whether to gamble, and directly assigned Yang Su's army to Han Xin to listen to the tune Facing the Han army advancing in unison, the 100,000 horses were indeed a little stumbling, and they couldn't change the situation.
Han Xin continued to explain: "The last general means that His Majesty will give the Tang Dynasty a letter of repair, with 100,000 people as a condition, let the Tang Dynasty court allocate another 100,000 to Han Xin, and then the 200,000 horses will be led by Weichen to fight to the death against the Han army.
If Han Xin is defeated, he is willing to die for the country, and if Han Xin can win by luck, then ask His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty to add troops and horses, so that Han Xin can not only show his strength, but also convince the soldiers. ” Although Han Xin's words were a bit arrogant, the battle record was there, but Cao Wei's civil and military forces could not refute it.
Even if Han Xin was not good, he also made a splash in the Battle of Qingzhou, shooting Qin Qiong, the general of the Han Dynasty second only to Li, Wu, and Yue, and gaining the upper hand at the beginning of the campaign, annihilating a total of about 30,000 Han troops, which was a victory that Cao Wei had never achieved.
Don't talk about it, let's just say that in the battle of Xuchang three months ago, Cao Wei paid the lives of Xiahou Yuan, Xia Luqi, Pang De, Ruan Weng Zhong, Shan Xiongxin and other generals and 150,000 elite soldiers, and was also captured Han Baohu, Le Yang, Le Jin and others, what is the price in exchange for the Han army only killed Xue Kui, Ding Yanping and a few unknown people In the Battle of Xuzhou two years ago, Xiahoudun was directly defeated by Qin Qiong and Xu Da, and paid the price of the horse leather shroud; Chen Ziyun, Guo Ziyi, and Le Yi attacked from three directions, and with the support of Li Keyong and Shi Jingsi, they were lucky enough to occupy Xuzhou.
And the "Battle of Gaomi" planned by Han Xin completely played with Qin Qiong's legion between applause, if it weren't for the arrival of Wei Qing, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and other reinforcements one after another, Han Xin might have completely annihilated the Xuzhou legion led by Qin Qiong.
Even if the Tang army was annihilated, it also made the Han army pay the price of 60,000 or 70,000 casualties, and the generals who died included Qin Qiong, Lian Po, Wu Song, Ling Tong, Xue Andu, Xu Sheng, Liuzan, Quan Cong and other well-known generals, and Zhang Fei, one of the five tiger generals, was seriously injured and bedridden.
One was beaten by Qin Qiong, and the other was beaten by Qin Qiong, who was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but was afraid of comparing the goods, comparing the two and making judgments, which was also an important reason for Cao Cao to take a look at Han Xingao.
After listening to Han Xin's defense, Cao Cao bowed his head and said: "General Han has traveled a long distance and worked hard all the way, so you will temporarily go to the post house to stay, let me discuss with the Manchu civil and military forces, and then give you an answer." ” "Since this is the case, Han Xin is waiting for good news."
Han Xin surrendered and went to the post house to live temporarily under the leadership of Liu Fu.
As soon as Han Xin left the main hall, Cao Cao glanced at the full hall of civil and military affairs with an awe-inspiring gaze: "What do you Aiqing think Han Xin said?"
Fan Zeng took a step forward, held the wat board in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Li Shimin's son is still young, and after his death, I don't know who the Tang power will fall into If the Tang army in power orders the Tang army on the bank of the Yellow River to retreat, then the eastern part of Jizhou is empty, and Li Jing's army can drive straight into Jizhou and sweep Jizhou."
It is better to agree to Han Xin's conditions and send envoys to negotiate with him in the Tang Kingdom, demanding that the men and horses led by Li Mu be handed over to Han Xin.
If so, the 100,000 soldiers handed over to Han Xin would still be owned by the Great Wei, and the 150,000 Tang troops under the command of Li Mu could also be used as a barrier to the Great Wei."
Jia Xu also agreed: "What Prime Minister Fan Cheng said is extremely true, after Li Shimin's death, he still doesn't know how the political situation in the Tang State has changed, and it's time to send an envoy to the Tang State to find out." ” "What the two Aiqing said was extremely "Cao Cao Fu must agree," according to the scout's report, Wei Qing has led an army to the east, and its purpose is self-evident, which is to counterattack the Tang Dynasty itself.
Coupled with the imminent pacification of the Wa Kingdom by Gongsun Qi and Lu Xun, the Tang State itself is facing great pressure and is likely to choose to move the capital north.
In this way, the Tang army should not easily give up the eastern part of Jizhou, send envoys and Han Xin to the Tang State, and strive to transfer Li Mu's 150,000 people to Han Xin at the cost of 100,000 people, which is very hopeful."
After the discussion, Cao Cao instructed Fan Li: "Fan Qing, this envoy to the Tang State is a very important matter, so you will personally go to Han Xin and be sure to persuade the new emperor of the Tang State to accept Han Xin's conditions." ” Fan Li was depressed in his heart, and was about to go out for a walk, so he immediately agreed: "Weichen respectfully obeys the holy order, goes home to pack his bags, and embarks on the journey to the Tang Kingdom." ” Jia Xu offered another plan: "Your Majesty, the Qiang King Cheriji has become more and more famous in the Western Regions in recent years, with tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, and a general named Yueji, who can send envoys to carry heavy money to contact and let the Qiang people come to Jizhou to help in the war."
A word woke up the dreamer, Cao Cao hurriedly bowed his head and agreed: "Well, what Wenhe said is very true, Cherrigi has gotten along with me quite well in the past two years, and at this moment it is time to borrow his soldiers and horses, I immediately sent someone to the grassland with a heavy amount of money to meet Cherrigi and invite him to send troops to help in the war." ” After the court disbanded, Fan Li came to the post house to make an appointment with Han Xin, and left Yecheng with one hundred and ten followers, all the way to the north, preparing to go to Tang through Liaodong to find the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and fight for Han Xin's military power.
Another civil official, Xu Yi, carried gold and silver treasures, and under the arch of 500 cavalry, he went west from Yecheng, preparing to cross the Taihang Mountain, and went north from Yanmen Pass to the grassland, looking for the Qiang king Cheriji, and asked to send Qiang soldiers to Jizhou to help in the war.
Finally had a decent countermeasure, Cao Cao's hanging heart fell to the ground slightly, and he ordered all the legions to be on standby, and if there was a situation, they would fly to Beijing at any time, and the imperial court would make a decision.
At the same time, the Le Yi army in Xuzhou was looking forward to it, and it was not known whether these 70,000 soldiers could escape from the encirclement of the Han army and return to the arms of the Great Wei The moon and stars are scarce, and the sand is flying and the stones are gone.
The three brothers, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Cheng, and Xiahou Wei, with hundreds of "Touching Gold Captains" wearing black suits, escorted a kind and kind monk to the foot of Taihang Mountain, and raised their eyes to look at the mountain.
"Alas" Guan Zhi shook his head and sighed, and scolded Wei Shu behind him, "You don't have to push and push, since I promised Cao Gong at the beginning, I will keep my word."
It's just that I didn't expect Cao Gong to let me help him rob the tomb, I really didn't expect it."
Xiahouba smiled slightly: "Mr.
Guan is a person who knows the times, as long as you take our brother to dig a few more tombs, I, Xiahouba, will ensure that you are unscathed."
Guan Lu stretched out his hand and pointed at the halfway waist of the mountain, and said solemnly: "After two consecutive days of observation, I have determined that there is a great tomb of strange people there, if it can be opened, it will be found." t1706231537:
