Chapter five hundred and thirty one. The last laugh
The butt determines the head. No matter how angry Zang Ba, who was yelling at the corrupt officials, or biting a dead person and shouting at the traitor, it was not important to Mr. Cao. All he liked was his own king's fortune.
So when the two groups of civil and military officials were still struggling with the Qingzhou Rebellion itself, Cao Cao asked what Wang Hou was doing!
"Return to the Prime Minister, Tian Yu, the governor of Youzhou, rushed forward for 800 miles. Wang Zhenbei led his entire army to attack Xiangping. The soldiers were killed and injured, and they were unable to support Qingzhou to quell the rebellion!"
"I know it!"
After hearing Jia Xu's answer indifferently, Mr. Cao waved his hand calmly again, and then said calmly to the chaotic group of staff.
"I'm tired! Let's go down!"
"But the Prime Minister, the rebels are still dominating Rizhao City! The younger clan brothers were killed by those rebels in order to defend the majesty of the court!"
Still full of resentment, Cui Yan still kept holding his face and shouting with his fists. But this time, Cao Cao didn't say anything anymore. Instead, Xu Chu, the general serving his side, was wide open with his eyes, and the heavy big hand halberd on his hands buzzed up the tree.
If you want to say that you are more ruthless, he was glared at by his cow's eyes. Cui Yan, who was still seven but dissatisfied with eight resentment, was immediately silent and kept his words back. The handsome face of the scholar, who was originally quite handsome, turned red, as if he was constipated.
It would be better to be cruel. If in the Ming Dynasty, a group of ministers would not have been tragic to each other and cause a major political battle, and they would have lost dozens of heads and exiled dozens of people, disrupting the national administrative order for a month or two before they could stop. However, here, Mr. Cao, no matter whether the Cui family died or the Brother Zang Ba who was still dissatisfied, they all retreated in shame.
…………
A political struggle was stopped indifferently in General Cao's words. Shortly after he retreated his ministers, more than a dozen cavalrymen flew out of the Wulin camp and headed straight to the north. Five days later, the troops in Linji "observe the enemy situation" and "wait for him to defeat himself", Lu Qian received an order that made him breathe a sigh of relief.
God has the virtue of living a life! Rizhao is in chaos and brings peace to others! The evil ones are exiled to Liaodong, and those who follow will not blame them!
The result was that Qingzhou won, and Cui Cheng and the Cui family in Qinghe died in vain. The main evil was sent to Liaodong? It was punished before, but now it is no different from going home. The first claw of the Central Plains family reached into Qingzhou was interrupted like this.
Moreover, Wang Hou also took advantage. Although Liaodong is called a cold and wilderness, what it lacks the most is either resources or population! If you are sent to the tyrant, you can have at least 10,000 or 20,000 experienced laborers who can move to Liaodong, and their families can add at least 60,000 to Liaodong.
More importantly, his plan to replace Rizhao, Guannei with Ma'anshan, was achieved!
However, the matter did not end here. The Cui family in Qinghe was just the first vanguard. Sooner or later, the rich Qingzhou attracted the powerful people in Yecheng to extend their claws. Some of the Qingzhou tribes that had already formed a group still fought and fought.
Moreover, Wang Hou, who took advantage of the situation, felt that he was under greater pressure! This time, it was really fortunate that Zhen Mi jumped out to remind him.
Why can Cao Cao deal with it so lightly?
Just because he was grinning and fighting with Xiangping City, he didn't care even if something happened in Rizhao, his former territory, proved that Wang Tuqiu really had no ambitions, at least he did not leave his ambitions in the pass, and did not threaten Mr. Cao's retreat to unify the world. Therefore, Cao Cao made a decision that was particularly beneficial to him, Wang Hou. To put it nicely, it could also be called comforting and paralysis.
But if he had a strong mind and returned to Qingzhou and packed up the workers in Rizhao City, it would be hard to say how Mr. Cao reacted. Perhaps he would have drawn troops from Chibi and returned to Qingzhou, or asked Tian Yu to lead his troops north. In short, his Wang Tuqiu could at least increase the priority of one or two pages on Cao Cao's defense list.
However, according to this theory, if you want to go backwards on General Cao’s attack list, Wang Hou can’t live too comfortably! And as the Cao regime becomes more and more stable, he has to pay more and more attention!
Just as the moment the Ming Empire was established, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer the elder brother Zhu who had conquered the world with his poor brothers. He was the heroes of the poor brothers who had herded cattle and begged for food together. All of them could not escape the truth that his eyes were full of doubts and bloody red.
The king and his subjects have no affection!
…………
Although the bloody struggle in politics actually restricts the backward communication technology of this era. It has been two months since Rizhao's rebellion to General Cao's decision to restore Anping. It is not snowing in the Wulin of Chibi, but it is already heavy snow outside Xiangping City, and the Liaodong military camp hoarded outside Xiangping City is covered with a layer of pure white.
According to common sense, the army besieged the enemy city in the cold winter was the most painful, but under Xiangping City, a cross-dressing incident happened.
Autumn came, and because of the large number of cavalry, the strategic space outside Xiangping City was encroached by Wang Hou and had already been prepared for a long-term battle. The Liaodong Army camp was built firmly and deeply.
What was Wang Houlai the largest "invention" in the late Han Dynasty? A fire kang! A simple shed made of wood, a row of large pavilions made of bricks and cement. The top coals transported from the Maanshan Coal Mine burned the first two stoves, and the kang was so hot that it was hot.
Not only was the room warm, but it was not cold outside. The thick cotton in the big cotton jacket was very active and sweating. After returning from running and working on duty, Liaodong soldiers even had to take off their coats at the door and come in again.
In contrast, wearing single cloth clothes and drinking the famous knife style in Liaodong, the Gongsun family army on the top of the city was as cold as a grandson. Finally, the Liaodong army brought some "warmth" to them. The high-quality large pieces of coal in Ma'anshan were lit and filled in the cannon colander, and threw them into the city. They lit the wooden houses to "heat them". They also had to carry the snow bucket and pounce up and quickly extinguish them.
More importantly, I can’t eat enough!
In the snow and ice, in order to maintain the body temperature, it consumes the most energy! It’s only a day when you can eat two meals, add less than 500 grams of grain, and have a little calorie food, without any oil or water. When the strong wind blows, the whole person will be blown through immediately. It feels like the heart-warming heart from the neck to the crotch.
During the day and night, the coal blocks on my head were like meteor showers, and I was hungry and played with the two heavens of ice and fire. As Wang Hou's enemy, it was really a double torture from physical to mental.
But at this critical moment, in the central army's tent, whether it was Li Fu, Zhen Yao, who served in front of the army, or Wu Qiu Jian, a literary guest from a military general, he looked incredible and shouted in surprise.
"Start the general attack at this time?"
"Lord! Our army has been besieging the city for more than two months. Now the defenders of the Gongsun family in Liaodong are in their last breath before the collapse. Our army has deep camps and sufficient supplies. The bandit army has no reinforcements and no officials inside. As long as we spend another month, by mid-January, even if the lord does not attack and the food is exhausted, Xiangping City will have civil unrest and surrender without fighting!"
"Why should you snatch it now?"
Indeed, if there is a quick attack and slow attack in the attack, if you want to take Xiangping in a hurry, Wang Hou took advantage of the shamelessness to sneak attack the cavalry and rob the city. Relying on the excellent infantry to bear certain damage, defeat the Gongsun family army at the gate of the city, and quickly go to Xiangping.
Or it is the orthodox siege method, and I will surround you and starve you to death!
This is not "Total War". You are not allowed to practice the level to train the troops to the three gold bars. Now Wang Hou ordered the attack, but the benefits of the urgent attack were not obtained, and the siege did not persist, and both sides were lost! On the tactical level, it was a failure to the extreme.
But looking at the puzzle sent by Jia Xu from the front line, a big defeat, a small victory, and listening to the three non-muscle sticks under his command who were considered a little brain-like argument, Wang Hou's next order was even more incredible.
"Send an envoy to the city! At noon today, I will attack the city. Once I break through the city, all the officials in Liaodong will be killed with more than 200 stones!"
"Master!"
Li Fu's bearded man was almost flew out of anger!
