Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Catch Xun Yu and talk about loyalty and treachery with wine

Zhang Ming decided to send troops to attack Cao Cao, and he will personally lead the troops to fight against Cao Cao.

Shouchun South is most of Yangzhou.

To the west of Shouchun is most of Yuzhou.

Shouchun is stuck between the two.

Cao Cao personally guarded Shouchun in order to block Zhang Ming's attack.

And Zhang Ming will personally lead his troops to attack Shouchun this time.

Zhang Ming, personally raise one hundred thousand troops.

In addition, Zhang Ming ordered Xi Zhicai to mobilize an army of about 10,000+ to 20 to take down Sili, Nanyang and other places.

Then, from west to east, Yuzhou was also taken down.

Zhang Ming led an army of [-] and set off first to kill Shouchun.

At this time, he brought all the generals over.

Along the way mighty.

Everyone in the world is watching this battle.

One hundred thousand troops, most of the generals.

Cao Cao urgently mobilized some soldiers and horses from around, and then asked Cao Ang to bring in another batch of grain and grass.

In Shouchun City, many of Cao Cao's generals and advisors are present.

"How is the food preparation?"

"It's enough for three years." Xun Yu replied.

Cao Cao is very satisfied, this time he wants to hold Zhang Ming here.

"Continue hoarding supplies for the defense of the city. We hold Zhang Ming back so that other places can develop rapidly."

At this time, Xun You said worriedly: "My lord, Zhang Ming is held up by us, and we are also held up by Zhang Ming. At this time, Sili and other places have no support. He can easily go down. Why don't we withdraw all the soldiers and horses there?" Come."

An aide immediately said: "How can we just give up such a huge territory."

Xu You said: "Meng De, if Zhang Ming is not good at fighting here, he will definitely attack Sili and Yuzhou waiting for you. You should make arrangements first."

Cao Cao said: "I sent generals Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan to guard Yuzhou."

"Send Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu to guard Sili, Nanyang and other places."

Cao Cao sent four generals, and he was not going to give up directly.

They don't have many troops there, but if they stick to it, they can hold Zhang Ming for a while.

In the south, Cao Ang continued to open up many territories and develop them meticulously.

Cao Cao was nervously preparing. He imagined that if he could hold Zhang Ming here for several years.

After that, Cao Ang took the opportunity to develop, maybe they still have a chance.

Zhang Ming went all the way south, with great momentum.

Getting closer.

The flags are flying, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Finally, after more than ten days, Zhang Ming arrived at a place thirty miles outside Shouchun City.

Zhang Ming settled here, and then began to mobilize food and grass from surrounding places.

They did not rush in lightly.

In addition, in several other places, there are also signs of troops gathering towards Shouchun.

Everything shows that Zhang Ming wants to attack Shouchun by force.

If Cao Cao, Liu Xie, and Cao Cao's main generals can be trapped in Shouchun, it will definitely be a big victory.

Cao Cao thought the same way. He used himself as a bait, as well as his advisers and generals.

On this day, after Cao Cao sent people to investigate, he summoned his advisers.

"Wen Ruo, Zhong De, you two should go out of the city, find Ang Er in the south, and help Ang Er."

"In this battle, the Marquis may be besieged in the city, or even unable to get out. Ang'er cannot be left alone."

Both of them are good at governing, and Cao Cao intends to send them both to assist Cao Ang.

"Yes, I will leave the city tomorrow."

Xun Yu agreed, and it was useless for him to stay.

In fact, Xun Yu didn't really want to stay. Fighting wars is not his specialty, he is good at handling internal affairs.

Moreover, Xun Yu was loyal to the big man, but now Cao Cao has been in charge, and the emperor has been completely emptied.

It doesn't matter if the emperor is emptied, the most important thing is that the prestige of the imperial power has been hit.

At this time, the big man still has a little prestige in the hearts of the people.

Xun Yu has always blamed Cao Cao for letting the imperial power fall to this point.

The imperial power has always been hit by Zhang Ming, hit again and again.

This time, Zhang Ming blatantly clamored for Liu Xie to give way to Liu Jin.

As a result, Cao Cao had nothing to do.

Only one notice of condemnation can be issued.

The imperial power has been weakened to the point where it is now, and Xun Yu is very disappointed.

Cao Cao asked the two counselors to go out, while Cheng Yu still had work in the city.

He is an advisor that Cao Cao relies heavily on, and he is familiar with many of the layouts in the city, so he needs to stay for a few days to make arrangements.

On the second day, Xun Yu went out of the city under more than 100 guards.

At this time, Zhang Ming's army was still stationed thirty miles away, and at the same time mobilized food and grass to manufacture siege equipment.

In fact, the real situation is that Zhang Ming is grilling again.

He called a few of his men to have a barbecue together.

"Brother, it's a pity that you can't drink alcohol." Zhang Fei said while eating a rabbit leg.

Guan Yu tore open a large piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth.

"When the battle is over and we go back, the eldest brother will definitely make me drink to my heart's content."

A group of people are eating meat.

Suddenly, a fast horse came and was stopped a hundred meters away.

A soldier ran in.

"Report to my lord, more than a hundred people came out of Shouchun City to guard a carriage heading south."

Every day, scouts will send a lot of information.

If Zhang Ming is here, he will handle it himself.

"Brother, I'm also idle, why don't you take someone there and stop to have a look?" Zhao Yun suddenly wanted to seize the opportunity.

There is a lot of intelligence about Cao Jun's transfers every day.

However, Zhang Ming didn't budge.

"Okay, you personally lead the special operations team, follow, don't rush to do it, two days later, find a time when the night is dark and the wind is high, and the people in the carriage, if they are women or children, must not be hurt."

"If it's not women and children, try to keep them alive and send them back."

"promise."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he ate the meat in his hands in two or three strokes.

However, he didn't bother to wipe his hands and left immediately.

It made the other generals envious.

Gao Shun, Zhang Ying, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others could only watch.

"After this meal, it's time for some of you to go on the road. Zhang Yun and Xu Rong left secretly and went to Jizhou to assist Xi Zhicai and prepare to attack Sili."

"The rest of the generals will leave after I have besieged Shouchun."

Zhang Ming didn't besiege the city right away, but spent it slowly here, just to let Cao Cao mobilize more troops to Shouchun.

At that time, it will be much easier for Zhang Ming and the others to attack Sili and Yuzhou.

Zhang Ming continued to mobilize the army, and many troops came to him.

This is just an illusion.

However, it is true to transport a large amount of grain and grass.

Zhang Ming has not attacked, but Cao Cao has been on high alert.

At night, Zhang He and Xu Rong left quietly.

And the other generals are still waiting.

Zhao Yun led fifty special forces, but he didn't directly follow the team under investigation.

Instead, he led the soldiers and horses and ran to the front, with scouts investigating and constantly reporting the news to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was very smart, and he was always twenty or thirty miles ahead of them.

If you follow behind, you will be discovered, but if you go ahead, you will not be discovered.

So what if they were diverted?
It doesn't matter, there is a carriage in their team, which can catch up again at any time and detour in front of them.

Indeed, Zhao Yun's method is very good, they are all very fast special forces, and this team has never found them.

They will investigate the front, rear, and even several miles behind. There are patrols and investigations.

However, the front is about three miles away.

It's not that they are careless, they are already very cautious in their own territory.

Zhao Yun has been following.

After waiting for two days, the general direction for tomorrow has been determined, so one night, I figured out where they camped and prepared to do it.

On this day, they happened to be camping in the wild.

Zhao Yun made a decisive decision and led someone to touch it.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun and the others approached quietly.

Then slowly touch the guard.

When these guards found out, there were only more than 20 of them left, not enough to kill Zhao Yun and others.

Easily wiped out the group of guards.

Xun Yu got up early when he heard the movement.

After getting up, he sat in the tent very calmly.

Zhao Yun and others opened the tent, and Xun Yu sat there.

"If you want to kill, kill it."

"No, my elder brother wants to see you, come with us."

Zhao Yun seemed to be a middle-aged man. Although he didn't know who he was, but judging from his posture, his status should not be low.

Xun Yu was put on the horse, led by a soldier, and left quickly.

On the way, Zhao Yun did not interrogate him.

At dawn, Cao Cao's soldiers discovered that the team had been attacked, and Xun Yu was missing.

Frightened, he hurried back to report to Cao Cao.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Ming and Cao Cao received the news at the same time.

Zhao Yun and others needed to detour and sneak, but Cao Cao's soldiers discovered it later.

Cao Cao burst into tears.

"Today I lose my writing again, God."

Cao Cao was very sad.

Xun Yu is indeed a good hand in governing. Before he fought in the South and the North, Xun Yu has been preparing food and grass for him in the rear.

Cao Cao was really in pain.

Xun Yu, the talent of Wang Zuo.

Can help him a lot.

Although, Cao Cao has always understood that this Xun Yu has never been loyal to him, he is loyal to the Han Dynasty and orthodoxy.

However, Xun Yu would not cause trouble for Cao Cao either.

Has been diligently handling government affairs.

Therefore, Cao Cao will be sad.

And Zhang Ming also received the news.

He personally met him at the gate of the barracks.

"Wen Ruo, this is the first time we've met."

"Marquis of Liao."

Xun Yu cupped his hands, but his tone was not friendly.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, please come inside, the wine is ready."

Since Xun Yu was arrested, there was no way he could go back, so he felt calm and walked straight ahead.

Xun Yu sat down and Zhang Ming poured wine.

"Liaohou, you are a big traitor."

The soldiers around "Bold" shouted and were about to draw their swords.

"You guys go down, there is no need to wait here." Zhang Ming stretched out his hand to stop them.

Xun Yu took another sip of his wine, and said, "You have received great favor from the late emperor, but you have committed treasonous acts, are you a traitor?"

"Yes, I am the number one traitor, Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, and I can only be ranked second."

Zhang Ming arranged Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo together, but Xun Yu did not object.

In Xun Yu's heart, Cao Cao is indeed a big traitor.

"Shameless."

Seeing Zhang Ming's generous admission, Xun Yu was speechless.

Zhang Ming went on to say: "I am indeed the number one traitor to the Han royal family, and I have long wanted to usurp the country."

Zhang Ming also picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

"However, this Marquis is the most benevolent person to the people of the world. Only I can make the people of the world live a good life."

"The royal family of the big Han can't do it, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't do it, but I, Zhang Ming, can do it."

"Under my rule, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"I am a traitor to the Han royal family, but I am loyal to the people of the world."

Zhang Ming's confession comes from the heart.

He thought so, and he did so.

However, Xun Yu disagreed, and still regarded him as a traitor.

"Zhang Ming, your identity as a traitor will never be cleared up in a lifetime."

Zhang Ming took a sip of his wine and said, "Loyalty and treachery are neither up to you, nor up to me."

"It's what people in the world say, the Han Dynasty is incompetent, and the people are struggling, so they should be overthrown."

"In the future, the dynasty I established will also decay one day, and at that time, it should also be overthrown."

"You still want to build your own dynasty." Xun You trembled with anger.

"That's right, I will become king and emperor, and I will rule the world. No one can stop me."

There is no need for Zhang Ming to lie to him, and there is no need to hide anything.

Xun Yu also calmed down at this time.

Indeed no one can stop Cao Cao.

This Xun Yu can also see that Cao Cao is nothing more than delaying for a while.

After all, no one can stop Zhang Ming's Bing Feng.

"You are an executioner. People of future generations will naturally remember your crimes."

Zhang Ming was not angry at all.

He ate something and said slowly: "Qin Shihuang burned books and tortured Confucianism. He was very happy. In the end, others also remembered that his books were in the same language, his cars were in the same track, and the world was unified."

"And this Marquis, building the road connecting the world, creating the imperial examination, and developing canals in the future to occupy the world, will surely surpass Qin Shihuang and become an emperor through the ages."

"Ridiculous, rebellious officials and thieves, An Neng will become an emperor through the ages."

ridiculous?

Zhang Ming felt that Xun Yu was foolish and loyal.

Excellent ability, but not enough strategic vision.

"Yeah, I just want to be an emperor through the ages, that is to say, I can build a road linking all counties in the world, and I can create an imperial examination, so that more people can study."

"On the world, spread the words of the sages, whoever wins I have now let tens of thousands of people study."

Xun Yu could not refute these.

Zhang Ming went on to say: "History doesn't care about who becomes the emperor, but who becomes the emperor and what he did."

"He, Liu Bang, can turn against the Qin Dynasty, why can't I turn against this decadent Han Dynasty."

Zhang Ming had no awe of the Han family at all, which made Xun Yu unbearable.

"Xun Yu, although you study, you are stupid. You should go around and see what the people need."

"They don't need a decadent Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty can only bring them disaster."

"The life I give them is what they yearn for."

"You, start here, walk back slowly, village by village, and see what the people need."

When Zhang Ming said this, Xun Yu couldn't understand why.

Zhang Ming said: "I will send a few people to protect you and monitor you, but I will not interfere with your normal visits. You will go from Yanzhou to Xuzhou to Qingzhou, then to Jizhou, and finally to Youzhou. Walk around and have a look. Traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, you still need to keep reading.”

Xun Yu didn't object, Zhang Ming didn't imprison him, didn't make him surrender, and of course, he couldn't leave either.

At the end of the discussion, Zhang Ming asked some special forces to take him away.

"Wang Zuozhi is talented. If you don't understand that the world belongs to the people in the world, you can only abandon it."
