    A huge locust plague not only swept across the Central Plains, but also Wancheng, located in the north of Jingzhou, was also in trouble. The grass and trees in the fields were wiped out, and the crops were not harvested. This time, the generals guarding here were worried~  ~ Zhang Xiu!

    Since the death of Zhang Jizhongjian, his nephew Zhang Xiu has been stationed in Wancheng with tens of thousands of the remnants of the Xiliang army. Because of his weak strength, he did not dare to participate in the war between the princes. He only collected taxes locally, plus  Jingzhou Mu-Liu Biao usually donated some money and food, so he could barely maintain his life!

    However, after the locust plague, the people had no harvest, and they could no longer eat enough. How could they hand over military rations? Therefore, Zhang Xiu and tens of thousands of his subordinates suddenly fell into the dilemma of food shortage. People are like iron, and food is like steel.  If you don¡¯t eat even one meal, you¡¯ll be so hungry!

    It is natural for you to be a soldier and eat food. If you can't even eat enough, who will serve as a soldier to fight? Looking at the number of deserters that are increasing every day, Zhang Xiu is worried about losing handfuls of hair. These soldiers and horses were left by his uncle.  Give yourself the last bit of capital and keep it no matter what, otherwise how will you explain it when you go underground in the future!

    But food cannot fall from the sky, and the locusts have eaten all the food on the ground. So the only way left is to rob it, get some food from the knife edge, and die in battle, which is better than starving to death!

    But the problem arises again. When all the princes come together, who will they grab?

    Zhang Xiu counted on his fingers. Liu Biao in the south had a good relationship with him and often gave him money and food. He couldn't bear to rob him. Yu and Yanzhou in the east were also affected by the disaster. The situation was even more tragic. Even if he wanted to rob him, he couldn't bear it.  It's up for grabs. Besides, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' and his uncle and nephew are also old friends. It would be best if they could meet each other without swords!

    To the west is the territory of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. The road in the 500-mile sloping valley is difficult to navigate and is full of cliffs. It is difficult to get in and even harder to get out. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people will starve to death before they reach the place!

    After all the calculations, only Cao **** in the north is left. Sizhou has implemented the "farming policy" in recent years and has harvested a large amount of grain and grass. Moreover, the locust plague has not visited there. The people's harvest this year is also good. Every family  They all have surplus food. Although Prime Minister Cao Cao is not easy to mess with, he still "suffocates the brave to death and starves the timid to death." The subordinates' eyes are red with hunger and they are about to eat people. There is nothing else they dare to do!

    In the end, Zhang Xiu made the decision and snatched Cao Cao's. As for the possible serious consequences, wait until I'm full. No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than starving to death!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    News of Zhang Xiu's rebellion reached Xuchang. Cao Cao immediately summoned the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Upon hearing the summons, everyone came very quickly without panicking at all. In recent years, Cao Cao's army can be said to be 'attacking'  "Every battle is invincible, and every battle is invincible." One victory after another, it is inevitable to become a little bit cocky. The army is filled with an air of arrogance from top to bottom, and they don't take the tens of thousands of Xiliang remnant troops in their eyes at all!

    Not only the generals in the army, but also the Prime Minister Cao Cao. In a few years, he would become a hero in the world. He was as domineering as Dong Zhuo, as powerful as Yuan Shu, as brave as Lu Bu, but he was defeated one by one in his hands. In the end,  After conquering the four states, how could he notice the unknown Zhang Xiu and the tens of thousands of remnants of the Xiliang army under him?

    The military meeting went smoothly and quickly. When the troops came, they would be blocked, and when the water came, the soil would cover them up. Since there was a rebellion in Wancheng, it was just a matter of sending out troops to suppress it. However, there were questions within Cao Ying about the number of troops sent and who would lead them.  There were some differences!

    "Although Wancheng is small, it is a nail in the back of our army. If we want to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao of Hebei in the future, we must first remove this hidden danger. Now Xiao Lang happens to be stationed in Shanyang County, so he can lead a group of troops there.  If you seek peace, you will surely win the battle and achieve success immediately!"

    Counselor Guo Jia is very optimistic about this war. Although Zhang Xiu is weak, he has occupied Wancheng, a strategic location connecting the north and the south, posing a certain threat to Xuchang. Moreover, if the opponent can survive in troubled times until now, there must be success.  You have certain skills, don¡¯t underestimate them!

    "What Fengxiao said is reasonable, but, now there are constant civil riots in Henan and Yanzhou, and it is necessary for generals to lead the troops to guard them, so that everything can be safe and sound. Xiao Lang has a heavy responsibility and must not be transferred easily. As for  Is there a rebellion in Wancheng? I will personally lead a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to conquer it, and all the generals will be with me, so don¡¯t bother Xiao Lang!"

    Cao Cao pondered for a while, but rejected Guo Jia's proposal. This was rare in previous military meetings. He had no choice but to do so. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he also had his own considerations. Xiao Yi's contributions in recent years were too great.  When he grew up, his prestige in the army was so high that it almost reached the level of peace.Although he has 10,000 trust in him when he is on the same level, as a superior, he must consider the balance of factions in the army, and it is time to give other generals a chance to make meritorious deeds!

    Furthermore, this Battle of Wancheng can be described as ¡®killing a chicken with a bull¡¯s sword¡¯, and it is a sure-win result, so Cao Cao also hides a little selfishness and wants to put this honor on his son Cao Ang¡¯s head!

    In recent years, Cao Ang has been guarding Xuchang, responsible for logistics affairs. He has made great achievements in civil affairs and established some prestige, but he is very lacking in military strategy. Now there is such a great opportunity for military training, and it is just right for his son to try it.  Try stretching your hand, exercising your skills, and getting some military exploits. When you take over the leadership in the future, you can suppress those arrogant and powerful generals in the army!

    What's more, now there are many children of Cao and Xiahou who have grown up. For example, my nephews Cao Anmin, Cao Zhen and others happened to be brought along with them this time, so they can see what fighting is.  Hone their abilities. If you want to control the world in the future, you will still have to rely on these family soldiers!

    Guo Jia was extremely smart, how could he not see Cao Cao's intentions, so after hesitating for a moment, he said nothing more. It was related to the balance of power within the Cao Ying Group. As one of them, he really couldn't add more.  Intervention. Moreover, the enemy forces in Wancheng are indeed very weak. As long as Cao Jun fights them openly and is more cautious, he can still win without using any means!

    At the military meeting, even the "ghost genius" Guo Jia stopped speaking, and the other counselors naturally didn't say much. In the end, a unanimous decision was made. The battle was personally commanded by Prime Minister Cao Cao, with generals Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan as the left and right vanguards, and counselor Guo Cao.  Jia and Cheng Yu are in charge of military counselors In addition, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi will go on the expedition with the army!

    As for the affairs of Xuchang, the military affairs were handed over to Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the government affairs were handled by Xun Yu and Xun You, and the family affairs of the prime minister's office were completely decided by Mrs. Ding. Everything was foolproof. Cao Cao could safely take his sons on an expedition!

    After the deployment was completed, the city of Xuchang immediately became excited. It had just experienced a locust plague, and now it needed a big victory to boost morale. Therefore, everyone was in high spirits. In addition, the opponent this time was not strong, and many people were holding out hope.  They went with the mentality of grabbing military glory. No one thought that the army would lose the battle!

    As for the ancient saying that 'a proud soldier will be defeated', everyone has long forgotten it!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­

    In the Imperial Palace, Wuchou Garden, upon hearing the news that Cao Jun was about to go on an expedition again, Princess Haiyan just said, "I know," and had no other expression. She also had little interest in this tit-for-tat battle!

    In addition, her marriage has been decided, and all kinds of etiquette are being prepared. Since ancient times, the period for getting married has been set. It is one year for the royal family, half a year for the princes, one season for the officials, and one month for the common people. Princess Haiyan is of orthodox royal blood.  , that is to say, in one year, she will marry into the prime minister's house, and from then on she will raise her husband and raise her children, and live the life of an ordinary woman!

    "Your Highness, the eldest son Cao Ang is about to go on an expedition. He specially came to the palace to say goodbye to the princess!" The maid Lingling came in and brought a very sudden news!

    "The eldest son is here? Is he going to go on this expedition too?" When she heard that Cao Ang was also going to Wancheng, Princess Haiyan was slightly startled, then turned her eyes and immediately understood the reason, "This is the time when the Prime Minister started to give  My own heir has paved the way, he is indeed very calculating!"

    After pondering for a while, Princess Haiyan did not stand up to greet her, but took off the leopard tooth from her neck. After caressing it reluctantly for a while, she handed it to Lingling, "Royal etiquette, it is inconvenient for the two of us to meet each other at this time.  , you can give this to the eldest son, and say that I am waiting for him to achieve military exploits and return in triumph!"

    "No!" Taking the leopard fang with both hands, the maid Lingling hesitated for a moment, then bowed and retreated. The deal was already done, so what could she, a little maid, do?

    ¡°Please report back to Your Highness the Princess, and wait for the day of her triumphant return to the DPRK. She must be invited to attend my Young Master¡¯s celebration banquet!¡±

    At the gate of Wuchou Garden, Cao Ang was slightly disappointed when he failed to see the beauty. However, he stroked the leopard fang in his hand and became more energetic again. He still knew a little bit about the princess's thoughts, but it didn't matter. Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes.  As long as you become a hero on the battlefield, are you still afraid that the beauty will not fall in love with you?

    ??Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, heroes belong to them, beauties fall in love with them, and they are romantic through the ages!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
