"The son is not filial, he has the trust of his father, he can't resist external troubles outside the country, he loses his city and land, and he asks his father to punish him.
"Punishment" Cao Cao coldly glanced at Cao Pi who was prostrate on the ground, "Punish you and you can exchange it for the lost counties."
Cao Pi lowered his head in shame and said nothing.
"I still left you some elite of the Northern Army, and I also left you a group of capable generals and fierce generals, you still have so much spare strength and still can't defeat any of the soldiers and horses under Liu Qi's command, you are so incompetent, if I am a hundred years later, can you really hold the great Wei River and Mountain?"
Cao Cao sighed, "The order goes down, the whole army is silent, all the sergeants are wailing and crying, and the generals in the army are retreating to Yecheng to mourn for me." ” Hearing this, Cao Pi looked up at Cao Cao with a dull face, but saw him pointing at himself with a ruddy face, "You, the crown prince of the prison country, are incompetent, so only I will drive the expedition in person." ” "Father, your serious illness has not healed, if you are driving in person, you will be tired of traveling, I am afraid" Cao Pi's eyes were flushed in an instant.
Cao Cao stretched out his hand to help him up, and put one hand on his shoulder, "Cao Pi, you must remember that in the era of war, as the lord of a country, you do not need stability and fear, but to fight. ” He glanced around, "I wanted to kill Sima Yi before, but this time, I will take him to the expedition together, I command and dispatch the army, he gives advice, in addition, I order Man Chong and Cheng Yu to be the governors of the left and right, Cheng Yu goes to Huguan to sit in the town, Yecheng is handed over to Cao Pi to dispatch, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others assist. ” "No."
Everyone gave up their hands one after another.
"In this way, I will lead the army to the battle, and the strong walls of the county near Yecheng are clear, and the barriers I prepared to build near Yecheng three years ago are enough to accommodate the people and soldiers behind the strong walls and clear the fields."
After speaking, Cao Cao had already put on a cloak under the service of the waiter.
"Father, there are still 50,000 elites of the Northern Army in the city, in addition to my 50,000 people, half of whom are Tuntian soldiers recruited last year, and my father will take these tens of thousands of elites with him on this trip to the north."
Cao Pi naturally knew the crisis of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and now Liu Qi is no longer what it used to be, first destroy Sun Quan, and then punish Liu Bei, looking at the world, there is only Cao Wei's only opponent left, this time, he will not be merciful, after all, many scholars in Yecheng are discussing in private.
After dominating the world, Liu Qi's prestige will reach its peak, and at that time, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, will inevitably be forced to give in by the civil and military ministers under Liu Qi, and this time, Liu Qi has no excuse to resign.
Ascending the throne as the emperor is the lifelong pursuit of the princes of the world.
Cao Pi would not believe that Liu Qi, the king of Wu who had built a palace of the Son of Heaven in Jiangdong and often handled government affairs in it, would not be moved.
After all, he created a new system of three public and six ministries on the basis of the three princes and nine ministers.
"Prince."
On the side, the old men of Prince Cao Pi's mansion glanced at each other, and one person stepped up to Cao Pi and asked with his eyes.
"Pass the order, the whole army is vegetarian."
"No."
Ten miles away from Yecheng, when Lu Meng ordered Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang to arrive outside Yecheng with two battalions of soldiers and horses as the vanguard, there were thousands of people wandering at the city gate not far in front of him.
However, at this moment, both of them saw the white silk hanging on the head of the city.
"Why is the white silk hanging high in the city, and the heads of the Wei army soldiers are also like this."
Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed, "I heard that Cao Mengde has been ill for a long time, I'm afraid that this summer is coming, I can't bear it, and I will die." ” "It's possible, but now there are thousands of people outside the city gate, General Xu, according to your opinion, will you lead the army to rush and kill."
"General Wen Jue, look, there are a lot of Wei troops guarding near the city gate, if our army is assaulted, I am afraid that it is only these people who will suffer, not to mention that there are many soldiers guarding the city, and when the time comes, the arrows will be fired together, with the moat of this Yecheng city a few zhang wide, Ruwu will not be able to attack even if there are thousands of dead and wounded."
"How about that?"
"Walk forward left and right, grab a few sergeants who are mixed in with the crowd, and ask what is happening in this city."
After a short time, the second general who had camped outside the city was reported.
Xu Sheng's face was full of consternation, "It's really Cao Cao who died" Pan Zhang scratched his head, "This thief is so dead" "It's better to report to the lord as soon as possible."
"As it should be."
After a short time, a battle report was presented to Lu Meng, and he glanced back at Gan Ning not far from his side, "General Xingba, what do you think of this matter?"
Gan Ning was silent, "The Wei State is about to die, it is nothing more than two, one is that he Cao Cao heard the bad news, he was furious, and he was killed; The two are a ploy to confuse the enemy. ” Lu Meng squinted, "Our army is coming from the south, there are many generals, and we have just won a big victory, and our morale is booming."
He, Cao Mengde, should not choose our army as a breakthrough. ” When Gan Ning heard this, he thought thoughtfully, "Which way does the governor think he Cao Cao will go?"
"Lu Xun, the governor of Liaodong, has similar soldiers and horses to our department, although it is a cutting-edge division, but there are fierce generals such as Ma Mengqi and Zhang Wenyuan, and they should not be broken by Cao Cao."
"That is Xu Gongming's department, the coastal counties, our army's naval division warships are still anchored not far away, if they are not defeated, they just need to retreat into the sea."
Lu Meng pondered for a moment, "And report this matter to the lord." ” "No."
A day later, Liu Qi just got up from the gentle township of the Gan family and the Elk family, and before he could continue to warm up, he received an urgent report of Cao Cao's death.
"He, Cao Mengde, will also follow the example of the death of Lone in the Battle of Moling," Liu Qi sneered, "Order, order the three armies to be on guard to prevent Cao Cao's sneak attack, in addition, transport the infantry chariot to the frontline battlefield, and in addition, transport the fire oil bombs to various battlefields." ” "No."
"Filial piety, you think, where will Cao Cao go" "In terms of weak troops, our army only has flaws to be found in the state army, but I am afraid that he Cao Cao will definitely go to Jinyang or Yanmen."
Liu Qi shook his head slightly, "On the surface, it is useless to attack the counties along the coast, and he Cao Mengde will not covet these small profits, but most of the counties and counties in the prefecture are remote, and there are passes and mountain beams as obstacles, if he captures it, he will not be able to get military food, but only consume the strength of our army, which is useless, and now he is recruiting hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can he be helpless with a small victory."
After speaking, Liu Qi pointed at Chen Zhen, "Filial piety, urgently submit it to Lu Xun's account in Liaodong with 800 miles, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion will shrink and retreat, and they will not engage the Cao army, and within a month, Cao Cao will retreat." ” "No."
Ten days later, Sun Quan, who was far away in Xiangyang, heard the news of Cao Cao's death, shook his head and smiled, "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you can deceive the world, but you can't deceive him Liu Qi, Wu Wei is all over the world, almost pervasive, how can he not see through these little tricks of yours." ”:
