King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 655

Han Yuzhou, Runan County, Ancheng, this was originally an important town in Yuzhou, but now it is the place where Cao Pi is located. After Liu Biao Yingyang defeated, he went all the way south and fought Cao Pi here. Liu Biao is old, plus Small-minded, he was bullied several times by Li Lin and returned home after being defeated. In a fit of urgency, he fell ill, and all the things of Jingzhou soldiers fell into the hands of Kuai Yue.

On the sickbed, although Liu Biao was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​immediate cavalry revenge under the persuasion of Kuai Yue, Cao Pi, Fang Xunyou and others. In ancient wars, there were short days and long years. , is not enough to determine the outcome, so everyone is not in a hurry, first use a defensive posture to deal with Li Lin, and then regroup the army. When Liu Biao's health improves and the morale of the army recovers again, it is the best way to go north and then compete with Li Lin for the Central Plains. good time.

But how could Li Lin let go of this opportunity? Within a few days, he captured several cities in Xuzhou without bloodshed. Xuzhou fell and was divided between Li Lin and Jiangdong. As for Shouchun City, Jiangdong soldiers and horses were also in full swing. Seeing that Shouchun could not be defended, Cao Pi was very worried, but there was nothing he could do. In the land of Nanyang County and Runan County, the land of the two counties, let Cao Pi revive his late father's foundation.

Liu Biao is already lying on the bed now. Although he is still angrily saying that one day he will kill Li Lin and the Youliao Army with sadness, Cao Pi can see that Liu Biao is not Li Lin's opponent at all. Hanged from a tree, it is easy to die without a place to bury him.

"Mr. Gongda! Now Liu Biao has become decadent. I went to visit him recently. Looking at his face, I guess he already has the intention of withdrawing from the army and returning to Jingzhou. If so, wouldn't it be possible for us to defeat Li Yuanjie and revive his deceased father's family business?" !" Inside the tent, Cao Pi said to Xun You sadly.

Seeing Cao Pi getting a little excited, Xun You quickly raised his hand and said, "My lord, Liu Biao's army is still in the city, so don't say these things out loud! After all, there are so many Liu Biao!"

"Hmph!" Cao Pi snorted coldly, and said slowly, "A 10,000+ army is no match for Li Yuanjie's [-] to [-] Liao army, Liu Biao! What a waste!"

Xun You quickly said: "Master, we are still under Liu Biao, so don't be careless!"

Cao Pi looked up at Xun You, his eyes were red, and he said, "Could it be that this one can only watch helplessly as the family property left to him by his father is eaten away bit by bit! Sir, don't you have any ideas?"

"Hey..." Xun You sighed, and said, "For the current plan, we can't just rely on Liu Biao's strength, I have a plan, I don't know if I can keep it..."

Before Xun You finished speaking, Cao Pi immediately said, "What's wrong with saying it, sir, tell me quickly!"

Xun You said slowly: "My lord, the only way to do now is to abandon everything, retain strength, and survive in the cracks of the princes from all walks of life in the world. One day! With the lord's forbearance, the time has come, and we will definitely win the world again!"

"You... Sir, what do you mean by this!" Cao Pi was puzzled by Xun You's words.

Xun You explained: "My lord, in today's world, there is no place for the lord. There is Sun Quan in the south and Li Yuanjie in the north. Among them, Liu Biao is incompetent, but sometimes he is very ambitious. It is impossible for the lord to revive the family business. But lord, you You are only 14 years old this year! You are young, and you are the lord’s biggest bargaining chip. My lord, you have to bear a heavy burden at this age. Shangqing, the world is chaotic today, and there are such wise masters as Li Yuanjie and Sun Zhongmou alive, and the lord is young and cannot be compared with them, but it is this young age that gives the lord the greatest advantage. Now the lord can learn from the king of Yue, Goujian, Taste your courage, accumulate strength, and pretend to be a quarrel among the princes of the world. Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. No matter how powerful the power is, it cannot withstand the mutual attack of the princes. When you are a qualified lord through the past and present, you will definitely be able to repel the other princes! Rejuvenate the foundation of the old lord!"

Xun You's words made Cao Pi's eyes light up, and Xun You's words made Cao Pi, who had already been devastated physically and mentally, seem to have found a bright light. After hearing this, Cao Pi murmured: "Gou Jian, the king of Yue, is a brave man..." Familiar stories, in my current situation, I don’t need Goujian, the king of Yue, to be a hundred times stronger. I still have soldiers and horses under my command, and officials like Xun You and Mao Jie. Goujian can still achieve hegemony, so why not myself!Cao Pi immediately cupped his hands to Xun You and said, "Thank you sir for teaching me!"

Xun You hurriedly said: "My lord, don't ask others to teach you. You have to understand everything yourself! The old minister is already old, and he will definitely not be able to assist the lord for a long time in the future!" Xun You is 44 years old this year, which is just right in modern times. At that time, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, after the age of 36, he called himself an old man. Xun You didn't know how long he could help Cao Pi. Seeing the pain of the young Cao Pi, he couldn't bear it. When Cao Pi settles down, how many people in this world can become the king of Yue Goujian? What Xun You said is just that Cao Pi can let go of his revenge and reduce the pressure. Otherwise, how can this 14-year-old child grow up under tremendous pressure? Not to mention reviving the Cao family's foundation, so now Xun You wants to tell Cao Pi that he is not yet capable of being a master like his father. Can grow up, truly inherit Cao's foundation, and fulfill Cao Cao's last wish.

Cao Pi was so excited that he immediately got up and walked up to Xun You. With a cry, Cao Pi fell to his knees and said, "Father! Let me call you Father!"

Xun You's eldest son, Xun Ji, was intelligent, but he died prematurely. Hearing Cao Pi's words, Xun You trembled even more. , the lord is the king, how can you do such a great gift!"

Cao Pi shook his body and said: "Mr.'s kindness to me is like recreating me. Let me recognize Mr. as a righteous father, and I hope that Mr. will teach me in the future! Help me complete my great cause!"

Xun You's voice was a little trembling, but he still disagreed: "My lord! Get up, get up!"

"No!" Cao Pi said firmly, "I still hope that my foster father will be fulfilled!" As he spoke, he kowtowed to Xun You and hit the ground with a bang, as if hitting Xun You's heart.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking!" Xun You quickly knelt down and said, "Okay, okay! I agree, I agree!"

"Father!" Cao Pi shouted excitedly.

Xun You nodded repeatedly, and whispered, "Hey!"

"Thank you foster father!" Cao Pi knocked his head on the ground again.

Xun You's gang took Cao Pi's arm and said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly! My lord..."

When Cao Pi heard that Xun You still called him like that, he immediately said, "Father, you can no longer call me a certain lord, you should call me Ziheng!"

Xun You had no choice but to say: "Okay! Ziheng! Get up quickly!"

"It's the adoptive father!" Cao Pi said immediately, stood up, came over and took Xun You's cushion, and put it next to Cao Pi's cushion, Cao Pi said: "From now on, the foster father is discussing things with a certain person here! The difference between my ruler and his subjects! There is only the love between father and son!"

"Hey! Good, good!" Xun You waited, feeling both joy and bitterness in his heart. Such a smart person as Cao Pi would not want to be his father. As his adoptive father himself, he must do his best to help him, but for some reason, Xun You felt a little unbearable in his heart. He couldn't bear to let Cao Pi be ruined by this troubled world again, and he didn't want Cao Pi to be crushed by the heavy burden on his shoulders. Not wanting Cao Pi to let the huge pressure become abnormal, Xun You suddenly realized that in a long time, he had already regarded this 14-year-old lord as his own son...

"Report..." Suddenly there was a long cry, breaking the cleanliness. A Cao soldier came in quickly, knelt down in front of Cao Pi and said, "Report to the lord! General Mao Jie sent an urgent report!" Now Ancheng in Runan County has passed away. There are Jingzhou soldiers and Cao soldiers stationed together, Kuai Yue and Cao Pi are in charge together, and both of them are smart people. Knowing that the enemy is now, don't let the two groups of internal forces fight, so there is a tacit understanding My son, the south of the city, one side is in the north of the city, but Runan is nominally Cao Pi's territory. Of course, Kuai Yue will not intervene in Runan's political affairs. Now, it is too late for Kuai Yue to send these away to the Jingzhou army. How can he control Cao Pi? of these crap.

"Oh...... Hurry up!" Cao Pi realized it was not good as soon as he heard it, and said immediately.

Cao Bing said: "My lord, General Mao Jie and the generals hired by the king of Chu. General Chen Kai's three-way army was defeated by Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun of the Youliao army in Lushan Mountain. They withdrew and returned. The Youliao army took advantage of the situation and marched westward. , it's almost clear water!"

Cao Pi turned pale with shock, and immediately shouted: "What! How is it possible? I didn't report back today, saying that I have blocked the edge of the Youliao army! Will I win a big victory in a few days!"

The soldier trembled all over, and immediately explained: "My lord, don't blame, General Mao Jie had already surrounded Zhao Yun's main force with tricks, and Zhang Xi's army had already shown its defeat. Unexpectedly, the bloody killing camp arrived suddenly, and more than a thousand people were all killed. Like wolves and tigers, our army was caught off guard, and our army was killed in chaos, causing our army to turn victory into defeat!"

"Blood Killing Camp!" Cao Pi squeezed out these three words viciously, and shouted angrily: "If you get the Blood Killing Camp, you can't do it without stretching your arms. Can a thousand people be able to turn the situation around? I'm so angry!"
