Xiaoguangong

Chapter 280
Cao Pi's journey was full of wind and dust. Along the way, he saw many seriously injured sergeants lying on the ground casually crying in pain and a large amount of blood soaked in the ground before it could be cleaned up.

This is Xu Du's army, not the elite soldiers brought out by Yunshan himself.In order to satisfy the fun of rectifying Yunshan, Cao Pi chose to put them directly into the battlefield to face the powerful and well-prepared Huo Jun.

He thought that Guo Huai's thinking in this battle could lead the whole army to open the door to victory, proving to the world that besides Yunshan, Cao Jun had countless strong generals.

But the result of the battle made Cao Pi extremely disappointed, and finally felt a little ashamed of Yunshan.

He came to the army in person, walked slowly in front of Yunshan with complicated emotions, and slowly bent down to help Yunshan who was prostrate on the ground, looking at that still resolute and unruly face, Cao Pi sighed slowly:
"General Yun has worked hard."

"Your Majesty praises you. Your minister is incompetent. You can't defeat Huo Jun. You disappointed your Majesty. Please also, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, okay, don't say any more. I know you are going to say that you will be removed from office... No, absolutely not.

You are Gu's sister-in-law, Gu trusts you very much, but you can't win the battle, and it's not a disastrous defeat. If Gu even has to pursue this, who will dare to kill the enemy for Gu in the future? "

He casually patted the dust off Yunshan's body and coughed softly.

With Cao Pi's character, it was really hard for him to say such soft words. When he spoke just now, his face was tense, and he was obviously quite aggrieved.

But these words still gave everyone great encouragement, Xu Du Zhongjun shouted Wan Sheng one after another, and finally felt a little relieved.

Guan Ping and Cao Pi walked into the military tent, and Cao Xiu, who came with Cao Pi, stood in front of the tent and acted as a guard, leaving Cao Pi and Yun Shan, who had achieved great military exploits, a space to chat alone.

Cao Pi looked at Yunshan with a complicated expression, and after a long time said softly:
"Frankly, the thousands of mistakes before were all my brother's fault, you don't blame me!"

Guan Ping also bowed down very humbly, and said loudly:
"How dare I blame the king of Wei? I'm afraid that this battle will be unfavorable and hurt the reputation of the king of Wei. Please don't blame the king of Wei."

Guan Ping gave Cao Pi enough face, and Cao Pi also knew that it was not the time to fall ill, so he could only nod slightly as he believed Guan Ping's words, and quickly got to the point:
"The matter in Tanzhiguan is more important. Ding Fei has already fallen into a tight siege by attacking rashly, and you still need to preside over the important affairs.

All matters here need to be settled as soon as possible, so Huo Jun should be stabilized for the time being. "

Ma Chao and Han Sui are strong and Huo Jun is weak, at least most people think so.Cao Pi doesn't dare to use Guanzhong to train Ding Fei now, so he still has to hurry up and invite Yunshan to fight to maintain the foundation of Cao Jun.

Of course, with Cao Pi's proud character, he is unwilling to admit that he wants to make peace with Huo Jun anyway. There is a hint of pleading in his eyes, and he asks Yunshan to understand his difficulties as soon as possible.

Guan Ping is also a person who is anxious for the leadership, he said solemnly:
"Thank you King Wei for your trust, but now Guo Sima is still besieged by Huo Jun, and it is time for me to rescue him.

Even if we want to deal with the Guanzhong matter, we must first discuss with Huo Jun and let him release Guo Sima. "

"I don't have any deep hatred with Huo Jun. He just occupied the side of Funiu Mountain as a thief. After all, it is not a serious problem. It is better to stabilize it for now. After the world is calm, we will come to conquer it. Naturally, we can make a decision at that time."

Of course Cao Pi couldn't take the initiative to propose peace with Huo Jun, since Yun Shan opened his mouth, he quickly nodded and said:
"I just came here today to work in the army. Everything here has a frank decision. Why do you need to say more? After frankly going to Guanzhong, it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, let alone ask for instructions from time to time, so as not to delay important matters."

On the theory of mind and nature, Cao Pi and Cao Cao are far behind. When the world was on fire, Cao Cao put out the fire everywhere by himself, and used his own skills and abilities to build the foundation for their Cao family to usurp the Han.

But Cao Pi didn't have this ability, and now the person who put out the fire for the Cao family turned into Yunshan, which really made Guan Ping dumbfounded.

Turning around, I have become a loyal minister.

With Cao Pi's consent, Guan Ping rode out of the camp in person that night, and went forward alone to go to explore with Huo Jun.

All the sergeants under him had mixed feelings, knowing that Yun Shan had to bear too much.

In case Cao Pi would turn his back on him in the future, negotiating peace with the bandits in private would be an indelible crime.After all, the Cao family has a tradition of borrowing heads for later use, and the tradition of your wife and my mother, people like Yunshan who dare to exert their subjective initiative really cherish the variety.

With Cao Pi's approval, Yunshan begged to see Huo Jun alone, and the two talked secretly for a long time in the night, Cao Pi nervously clenched his fists, lest Huo Jun see that he was eager to make peace, and the lion opened his mouth to ask some conditions that he could not accept.

Fortunately, such a horrible thing did not happen.

As dawn approached, Yun Shan finally returned and reported the great news to Cao Pi——

"After being persuaded by the minister, Huo Jun already knew that there was a treacherous minister who bewitched him, so he let the king of Wei use his weapons.

Now that the king of Wei came in person, Huo Jun was extremely ashamed, and said that he was sorry for the love of King Wei before, and that he had no face to meet.He is willing to disband all the troops in his hand and cultivate the fields here, and ask Wei Wang to forgive his previous crime of disrespect. "

Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help applauding.

In this negotiation, Huo Jun gave Cao Pi enough face and showed his bottom line - as long as Cao Pi does not come to attack, he will develop in the Funiu Mountain area with peace of mind, and will never invade Wancheng, let alone affect Cao Jun's north-south communication .

From this perspective, Cao Pi has achieved his strategic goal.

Of course, Huo Jun's talk about disbanding the army in his hands was just a matter of appearance. The refugees in his hands were not gathered for war in the first place. As long as Cao Pi left, they would be willing to start farming honestly.

That is to say...

"The king of Wei is so powerful that Huo Jun dare not resist."

"The thieves in the mountains have never seen the majesty of the king! When the king of Wei came, he bowed his hands and surrendered."

"The king of Wei has the guts to be a little too bold, and Huo Jun understands the truth. If he doesn't surrender, can't he wait for the whole family to be punished?"

The admiration made Cao Pi's rather depressed heart suddenly brighter.

Yun Shan looked at Cao Pi with a smile, and praised:
"My sons are right. I waited hard before to no avail. When Huo Jun heard that the King of Wei was coming, he surrendered immediately. After all, we won this battle!"

"We won?"

"Wei Wang personally conquers, and naturally wins!"

Treating funerals as happy events is the hobby of most leaders. Cao Pi was worried that his reputation would be affected if he did not win this battle, but now Yunshan actually said that he not only won this battle, but also won the decisive battle after he came. Victory, how could this not make Cao Pi overjoyed.

"Huo Jun can be regarded as a person who knows good and evil, since he knows to be afraid, this king doesn't have the same knowledge as a thief like him.

Take Huo Jun as the general of Diannong Zhonglang, if he has the heart of rebellion in the future, he will definitely be executed. "

"Wei Wang made it clear." Guan Ping said with a smile.

In this battle, Cao Pi won his reputation, Huo Jun gained temporary peace and could develop with peace of mind, Yunshan also won Cao Pi's trust again, and could return to Guanzhong to command his original army.

As for who lost...

That's hard to say.

Guo Huai led his generals to fight against hunger and struggle to find a chance to break through. He believed that Yunshan would come to save him, and also believed that as long as Cao Jun tried his best to attack, Huo Jun's troops would not be able to resist.

After struggling for several days, he finally waited until Yunshan came to him. Guo Huai was overjoyed. Seeing that Huo Jun's army had withdrawn, he immediately expressed his willingness to make amends and led the army to hunt down Huo Jun's remnants. Even if he died, he would admit it .

"There is no need to pursue..."

Guo Huai's face was full of disbelief.

Since Yunshan was able to get here, he must have penetrated Huo Jun's guards. Even if Huo Jun's damage was not serious, the morale of the army must have been seriously affected.

His mad dog-like thieves are all supported by an extraordinary will. Once the morale collapses, Cao Jun will really slaughter one-sidedly.

Unwilling to give up, he quickly argued:
"Why? If the culprit escapes back to Mount Funiu, our army will have to spend a lot of effort to attack them. Why not continue to pursue them and keep..."

"The king of Wei has already agreed to Huo Jun's peace. Now that Huo Jun has been appointed as the general of the Diannong, Huo Jun has also agreed to the conditions of the king of Wei. We will retreat separately, and we will win this battle!"

"We won?"

Guo Huai's face was full of disbelief, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he raised his arms and pointed at the corpses of his comrades scattered all over the camp, and said in grief and indignation:
"Where did we win? Where did we win?"

"So many children died in battle, we..."

"Don't talk about it." Guan Ping sighed, "After you were surrounded, our army tried their best to rescue you, but...but the thieves' siege couldn't be broken, it was King Wei who came to make peace with Huo Jun himself.

Now Huo Jun has repented and said that he would never dare to invade Wancheng again. We have won this battle, and the battle in Guanzhong is even more important, so don't get entangled here! "

Yun Shan's words hit Guo Huai hard in the chest like a heavy punch, Guo Huai was so stuffy that he couldn't speak.

won?won!
What absurdity!Can a seriously injured person be healed by wearing a brocade robe?
Huo Jun was originally a bandit, and he didn't need to keep his promise at all. Cao Pi's peace with him this time is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Otherwise, Huo Jun would have noticed the transfer of the imperial court's army, and he would definitely absorb more refugees as soon as possible. Those farmers who heard about Huo Jun's ability would definitely scramble to join him.

This is a major event that shakes the country!
Thinking of the terrifying eyes of the bandit soldiers and the fearless appearance when they launched an attack, Guo Huai was determined, but he still couldn't help being a little discouraged.

Now he is an officer and Huo Jun is a bandit, but if Huo Jun becomes popular in the future... then it's really hard to say.

"General, are you familiar with Huo Jun?"

"Some friendship, what's the matter?"

Guo Huai stared straight at Yunshan, and sighed:
"Before the general sent troops, how was he going to deal with this battle? Was he also planning to make peace with Huo Jun?"

"good."

"Don't the general know that this is breeding tigers?"

"Of course I know, I'm not stupid."

"Then why are you like this?"

Guan Ping asked with a smile:
"Guo Sima thought, why would this general defeat Ma Chao in Guanzhong?"

Guo Huai blurted out:
"Of course it's Ma Chao's tyranny, and the audience is furious, that's why..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Guan Ping reached out and patted Guo Huai's shoulder lightly, turned his head and strode away, Guo Huai was stunned, and trotted all the way to follow.

"The general is going to Guanzhong?"

"good."

"Can I go with the general?"

Guan Ping stopped, turned around slightly, and his expression became extremely solemn:
"Is your step for the great man, or for the great Wei?"
