"Zi Lian is loyal, brave and good at fighting, so he was entrusted with the important task of guarding Wancheng. Unfortunately, he was brave and reckless, impatient and greedy, which led to today's defeat. This is my misappointment!"
Yecheng - In the General's Mansion, Cao Cao was shocked to learn the news of the defeat of Xinye. After deeply blaming himself, he immediately summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss countermeasures!
Wancheng'e is of extremely important military value for guarding the dangerous position and connecting the north and the south. Now that it falls into the hands of Liu Bei, it is like adding more wings to a tiger. Xuchang and Luoyang are all threatened, making it difficult for people to sleep and eat well!
What¡¯s even worse is that after the Battle of Xinye, the southern princes were greatly encouraged and stationed troops on the border one after another. Once Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Jiangdong formed a military alliance and jointly sent troops northward, the general trend of the world would be unpredictable!
¡°See you, Prime Minister, you have served as regent of the country, and your merits are towering!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to be polite, please take your seats on both sides of the table quickly, there are military aircraft to discuss important matters today!
A moment later, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin a group of important civil and military ministers came to the general's mansion and saluted the Prime Minister one after another!
Cao Cao held up his hands and motioned for everyone to take their seats, and explained in detail the matter of "Cao Hong's defeat and Wancheng's fall", hoping that everyone could work together to deal with the predicament at hand!
Cao Jun launched a large-scale Northern Expedition. Hundreds of thousands of people were stationed in Yecheng. The rear was extremely empty. The southern princes were ready to move, which made people restless. In the current situation, there are only two options:
The first is: the army returns to the south of the Yellow River and divides its troops to garrison in Xuchang, Luoyang, Shouchun, and Chang'an to ensure the safety of the rear and deter the princes in several towns in the south. It is best to recapture the important town of Wancheng and restore strategic pressure!
In this way, the Northern Expedition was abandoned halfway. Yuan Xi occupied the Youzhou area and had tens of thousands of troops under his command. If he colluded with Wuwan, Xianbei, and Liaodong and sent his troops southward again, it would be difficult to preserve the city that Cao Jun had just occupied. The strategic plan to unify the Central Plains will also be delayed indefinitely!
The second is: withstand all pressure, the army continues the Northern Expedition, and strives to wipe out the remaining power of the Yuan family in the shortest possible time, and after unifying the Central Plains, return to deal with the southern princes!
The problem is that in the bitter cold areas of Youzhou and Liaodong, Wuwan and Xianbei are erratic. Once the main force of Cao's army goes north, it will be difficult to win in the short term. The southern princes will take advantage of the opportunity and sneak attack on several important towns such as Xuchang, Luoyang and Chang'an. Things will be in trouble. !
At that time, there were still remnants of the enemy in front, and the base in the rear was lost. Cao's army was in a dilemma, the morale of the army was unstable, and the whole army might even be annihilated. It was really too dangerous!
"The troops in Xuchang and Luoyang are empty. Once they fall into the hands of the enemy, it will be difficult for our family members to save them. We should return our troops quickly to rescue them!"
"Since the Northern Expedition, the soldiers have suffered countless casualties. How can we give up halfway? It is better to be determined and continue the Northern Expedition!"
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The ministers were also discussing a lot. Some people advocated retreating, while others suggested the Northern Expedition. Each had their own reasons. They argued with each other endlessly, but they couldn't find a solution that would satisfy both!
"Liu Biao is flashy. Although he holds the nine counties of Jing and Xiang, he is just a housekeeper and has no ambition to go north. Liu Bei has great ambitions, but unfortunately he is not strong enough and cannot stir up big waves, so he is not afraid of him!
Sun Quan and Zhang Lu acted according to the prevailing situation. As long as Jingzhou did not send troops, they would not act rashly. The Prime Minister divided his troops and sent generals to guard the two cities of Shouchun and Chang'an. The main force of our army did not need to return for reinforcements, and we could rest assured to continue the Northern Expedition! "
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
Liu Bei was a hero in troubled times, but it was a pity that his rise came too late. It would not have taken off in four or five years. By that time, Cao Jun had already pacified the Central Plains and then marched south!
"If the Prime Minister is worried, you can lead the army back to Xuchang and sit in charge of the court in person to prevent anyone from having a different intention. The general is willing to lead his troops and continue to advance into Youzhou and Liaodong. Unless he achieves a complete victory, he vows not to return to the court with his troops!"
Xiao Yi also stood up and was willing to lead the Northern Expedition alone to unify the Central Plains. The great cause of unifying the Central Plains must not be abandoned halfway!
"Fengxiao and Wuyou's words are reasonable. I am looking forward to unifying the Central Plains. How can I withdraw my troops midway and make the world laugh at me? As for the princes in the southern towns, they will never have the courage to go north!"
Cao Cao¡¯s lifelong wish is to first occupy the Central Plains and then unify the world. He will never give up halfway, let alone hand over the banner to others, not even his own son-in-law!
The decision has been made. The next step is to discuss who will continue the Northern Expedition and who will divide it.?In garrison, you can no longer rely on others. Cao Hong is a lesson learned from the past!
"Report! - General Zilian came to Yecheng and was kneeling under the hall to plead guilty and ask the Prime Minister to make a decision!"
During the discussion, a soldier came in to report that Cao Hong, the defeated general, had returned. The ministers were in an uproar again. I wonder what the prime minister would do!
"Boom!-Boom!-Boom!"
A moment later, Cao Hong walked into the lobby on his knees with his hair disheveled and barefoot, his arms tied up, and he kowtowed three times without saying a word, just with a look of defeat on his face!
Wancheng is not only an important military town, but also the place where the eldest son Cao Ang fell. It has a special significance, but he lost it. He also lost two clan nephews and lost tens of thousands of horses. It was really a thousand cuts. , It is difficult to atone for his sin!
Therefore, after Cao Hong regained consciousness, he traveled day and night to Yecheng, had his soldiers tie him up, knelt down and went to court to plead guilty. As for whether to kill or behead him, he had no complaints at all!
"You have lost your troops, your generals, your cities and your territory, which has worsened the overall situation of the world. How can you show up to me? The elite tiger and leopard soldiers obeyed the order and pushed out the defeated generals and beheaded them!"
Cao Cao enforced the law like a mountain. Although he was reluctant to give up, he still issued the beheading order to prevent anyone from talking behind his back and saying that he was bending the law for personal gain!
"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" is a confidant who obeys the Prime Minister's orders. He immediately rushed out several golden-armored warriors and prepared to push Cao Hong out and behead him, but was stopped by a group of important civil and military ministers!
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. I hope the Prime Minister will calm down and let General Zilian go!"
"Beheading the general will be detrimental to the army. Please let Zi Lian serve his crime and continue to serve the country!"
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Brothers of flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water. Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, together with all the clan generals, all knelt down to plead for Cao Hong. They couldn't bear to see his head fall to the ground!
Xiao Yi and Guo Jia are the sons-in-law of the Cao family. They can't just sit idly by and beg for mercy. Under their leadership, civil servants and generals also stepped forward to beg the Prime Minister for mercy!
"As a defeated general, you should be beheaded in public. Since a group of important ministers have interceded for you, I will show mercy for you once. I will send you my head for the time being. If you do it again, I will definitely be beheaded without mercy!"
Cao Cao didn¡¯t want to kill people at all, but when he saw the important civil and military ministers begging for mercy, he just got off the donkey. There are two reasons:
One: When the pursuit of the Xiliang army failed, Cao Cao almost died on the battlefield, but it was Cao Hong who risked his life to save him and gave up his mount to Cao Cao, and then he escaped and ascended to heaven. This life-saving grace will be unforgettable!
??Two things: Xiao Yi¡¯s military exploits are outstanding and his power is getting bigger and bigger. We must support the general named Cao to compete with him. Cao Hong is one of the backbones of the clan and he is loyal. Killing him will be detrimental to the overall situation!
But what? The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Cao Hong should be punished with fifty military sticks, deposed as the general who conquered the south, and demoted to an ordinary captain. He would also be fined ten thousand taels of gold and provide compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers!
"Crack!¡ª¡ªPah! Crack!"
Several warriors dragged Cao Hong out, tied him to a bench, and beat him on the back with a military stick. The beating was bloody and horrific
Fortunately, the soldiers knew the severity. They only broke the skin and flesh, not the muscles and bones. After the execution, they applied gold sore medicine and carefully wrapped it with white silk. It only took a month or two for them to recover!
Cao Hong can be regarded as a man. Although he was in pain, he stood up without saying a word, and then dragged his bloody body back to the lobby. He thanked the prime minister for not killing him, and thanked the civil and military ministers for their pleading for mercy!
Specific arrangements were also made for the division of troops and generals, allowing Li Dian to lead 30,000 troops to Shouchun to assist Zhang Liao in resisting Jiangdong and ensuring that nothing happened to the Jianghuai area!
Let Le Jin command 50,000 troops and station them in Luoyang City, the eastern capital. Together with Cao Ren, the guard of Xuchang, he will make sure that his lair is safe and sound, especially monitoring the movement of the 'big-eared thief'!
Cao Cao personally compiled a letter and sent an envoy to Hanzhong. He also presented a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, hoping to maintain friendship with Zhang Lu. !
"The big-eared thief is a man who has been defeated many times. Why did he become a new man when he arrived in Jingxiang? He killed tens of thousands of my troops in one battle and also captured Wancheng. There must be someone skilled behind him to help him!"
After the matter was dealt with, Cao Cao began to reflect. Cao Hong was a brave general after all, and he had been in the army for many years. It was not easy to defeat him!
"I would like to inform you, Prime Minister, that Liu Bei has acquired a new military advisor named Xu Shu. This man has great plans and is an expert in using troops. Therefore, our army was completely defeated!"
On the way to escape, Cao Hong also tried every means to find out. It is not shameful to lose in the war. At least he knows who he lost to?
"Military advisor Xu Shu Yingchuan wizard things are going to be bad now. This one is terrible, and the ones behind him are even more terrible!"
Hearing Xu Shu's name, Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials were quite puzzled. They obviously didn't know anything about it, except for two people. One was the counselor Cheng Yu, who had a look of surprise on his face; the other was Xiao Yi, who felt fear in his heart. Sex, not afraid of Xu Shu, but worried about another person - Wolong!
