Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 696 Going south to attack Cao Mengde

"Throw all the corpses into the mass graves! These white-eyed wolves eat my salary, but turn their backs on me and go to the Feng family. They deserve to die!"

"Here!"

The jailers found two large carriages, threw the bodies of the prisoners into the carts, covered them with straw mats, and pulled them out of the city.

"My lord, Lord Guo is here!"

Huben Wei outside the door came in to report.

"Let him wait outside the door, the king will arrive soon!"

Liu Wei tidied up his clothes and went out to see Guo Jia.

"My lord, it has been found out that the craftsmen in the arsenal have no signs of contact with outsiders. It is estimated that Feng Fang relied on her identity to coerce and lure her so that she could buy the blueprints for making weapons and armor from the arsenal!"

Guo Jia reported behind Liu Wei.

"That's good, this king has been out for more than half a year, and it's time to go back to Ye City!"

"Yes, my lord, if you don't go back again, I'm afraid the officials in Liaozhou will forget about you!"

"They dare! Rest tonight and leave for Ye City tomorrow!"

"Here!"

That night, Liu Wei called Long Jian to his side and told him, "This king is going back to Yecheng soon. You are here to train your soldiers and horses. In a few months, you will have spring plowing. After spring plowing, this king will go Use troops against Cao Cao, and your Iron Buddha Tu will be the main force at that time!"

"The main force?"

Although Long Jian had expected that Liu Wei was so devoted to the Tiefutu that he wanted to reuse the Tiefutu, but he did not expect that Liu Wei would use the Tiefutu as the main force.

"Here!"

Long Jian hastily knelt down to thank him.

"Well, let's go down, I'm going back to Ye City tomorrow, and I'll leave this place to you!"

Liu Wei waved his hand casually, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, and it was a terrible thought. If he remembered correctly, Europe during the Three Kingdoms period was the end of the ancient Roman Empire, and the ancient Roman Empire had already weakened to a certain extent. It is not far from the east and west division. If you unify the Han, why not extend your hand to Europe and create a country like Genghis Khan's Great Mongol Empire.However, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. The top priority is to go south and destroy Cao Cao first.

The next day, Liu Wei led his army back to Yecheng. In May of the same year, Liu Wei raised an army of 38 under false claims of 50, and crossed the Yellow River south to attack Cao Cao.

Xu Chang
"Report, His Royal Highness King Wei, Liu Ziyan from Hebei led an army of 50 to attack us!"

Tanma rushed into the palace of King Wei and reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's men and women were shocked.

"Soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth. You guys are so panic. Liu Ziyan has fought with this king several times. He has not been defeated and returned to Hebei. This time I will let him come and go!"

After Cao Cao sent people to rob and kill Liu Wei who had withdrawn from Xiliang last time, he got tens of thousands of horses and formed more than 3 cavalry. After more than a year of training, their strength has greatly increased. Cao Cao's cavalry has There are nearly 10 people, and now Cao Cao walks a little bit driftingly, and doesn't take Liu Wei seriously, especially after hearing that Liu Wei's third son, Liu Xin, rebelled and rebelled, he is even more happy. Now he heard that Liu Wei raised his troops Come here without any fear.

"That's right, Liu Ziyan, Mangfuer, why do you need your father to do it yourself, the eldest brother is in command, and I am the vanguard, and an army of 20 is enough to repel Liu Wei, so why bother!"

Cao Cao's third son, Cao Zhang, stood up and begged for his life.

"My son is stepping down. Although Liu Wei is nothing to be afraid of, he is not something you can match. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Cao Cao signaled Cao Zhang to step back, and then asked the ranks of civil servants, "Liu Wei raised the whole country's troops to challenge him, what do you guys think?"

"Reporting to my lord, I think that Liu Wei is just bluffing. How many soldiers can there be in Hebei? Liu Wei has been fighting all these years, and the people of Hebei must be full of complaints. Liu Wei can bring up to 25 soldiers this time. Horses, why are there 50 giants, and my country of Wei has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the whole country has three to four hundred thousand soldiers and ten thousand good generals. Going out to fight in person will definitely turn those who Liu Wei beat up on their backs and return them to Hebei, and they will be unbearable to spy on our great Wei country!"

Everyone looked at it, but the one who spoke was Hua Xin.

What Hua Xin said made Cao Cao angry and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Well said, it makes sense!"

"My lord, even though that's the case, don't forget the lessons learned from the past. We have been defeated by Liu Wei several times. We should not take it lightly! In my humble opinion, we must not go out to fight with Liu Wei in the city, stick to the city, and prevent Liu Wei from attacking." It is the best strategy for Wei to go south, if Liu Wei dares to rush forward lightly, we can rob his supply roads and make them chaos without fighting!"

Xun Yu is the safest person, and he does not recommend Cao Cao to be greedy for meritorious deeds.

"Master Xun is really conservative. I support Master Hua's opinion. Go out of the city and fight Liu Wei!"

"Master Hua's suggestion is also somewhat inappropriate. The Hebei Army has always been famous for its field battles. We don't have the advantage when we go out of the city to fight in the field!"

Some of Cao Cao's civil servants agreed with Hua Xin's views, and some agreed with Xun Yu's views. There are different opinions.

And the people who spoke were not Cao Cao's confidants and favorite generals.

Suddenly, a general stood up and said: "My lord, whether it is a field battle with Liu Ziyan or defending the city, the last general asks to be the vanguard. If it is a field battle, I will lead the army to fight to the death. If it is to defend the city, even if it is the last person left, I will never take half a step back, let alone surrender!"

Cao Cao saw it, and it was Zhang Liao who spoke.

"Wenyuan, you...!"

Cao Cao knew that Zhang Liao's son died in battle outside Beidi City, but he never thought that Zhang Liao hated Liu Wei so much.

"My lord, you don't need to persuade me. The hatred of killing a son is irresistible. If I don't avenge this hatred, I will die with peace in my eyes!"

After saying that, Zhang Liao fell to his knees, weeping uncontrollably.

"Wen Yuan, you are old, how can you be a pioneer!"

The reason why Cao Cao was unwilling to let Zhang Liao be the vanguard was because of his advanced age, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhang Liao, who was eager for revenge, would fall into Liu Wei's scheme and be killed by Liu Wei.

"If my lord won't allow me to be the vanguard, then I will return home and recruit assassins to assassinate Liu Wei. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Zhang Liao couldn't kneel down, and kept his head on the ground.

"Okay, I promise you, but you can't rush in!"

"Thank you my lord!"

Zhang Liao just got up from the ground and stepped aside.

But Cao Cao was still worried about Zhang Liao, and said, "Everyone, who is willing to be the vanguard with Zhang Liao for the supervisor!"

With that said, Cao Cao turned his attention to Xun You.

Xun You understood what he meant, stood up and said, "I am willing to go with General Zhang!"

"Okay! Wen Yuan, this time you go, you must listen to Gongda and don't rush forward! If you can do it, I will be a pioneer with you!"

Zhang Liao said: "The last general will obey orders!"
