Chapter 172 It seems that there is still a military advisor (for the total 20/30)
Seeing that Yunshan and Cai Mao were both leading their troops, Cao Pi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had a little awkward with Yunshan before, but Yunshan actually led his troops to support him without hesitation. Cao Pi's face was filled with joy. He quickly stepped forward to help the two of them up and said excitedly:
"The two brothers, Tai, actually led their troops to aid, is really a blessing for Cao Pi!"
Cai Mao smiled bitterly:
"Forget it, the young master asked Lao Jiu to come and help. Why did he come from all the way? Fortunately, General Le was willing to cooperate and had already written a letter to the Prime Minister and said that he was mobilizing the army, otherwise it would be a disaster."
Guan Ping waved his hand with a smile:
"Where is the one who is Cai's family? I originally had an army stationed in Fancheng, so it was natural for me to lead my army to my own garrison.
It is also the way for the minister to come to help the young master to fight and eliminate the rebels."
The way of the ministers...
This is really nice to say.
Cao Pi's eyes lit up when he heard this and he kept nodding.
Cao Zhi, not far away, looked at his brother's appearance and felt quite contemptuous, but he still walked forward with a kind look to salute Cao Pi.
Cao Pi saw that the muscles on his younger brother's face were also stiff, but he still forced a smile out, and excitedly stepped forward and pulled Cao Zhi's hand to ask about his well-being.
Looking at the respectful appearance of this brother and brother, Guan Ping couldn't help but feel chills.
Well, I have a younger brother, I hope I won't look like this in the future.
After a little gossip, they soon described the current situation.
Ma Su pulled open the map and described Huo Jun's current evil deeds vividly—
These people originally occupied the Qingshui River and colluded with local bandits. After Prince Zihuan arrived, they quickly annihilated them. Huo Jun had no choice but to go north, but the official army near Wancheng was not good at attacking, and instead suffered huge losses. Now Huo Jun has grown up, and it is said that he has more than 3,000 people, and it is no longer an idle person to eliminate them. This is why Cai Mao and Guan Ping need to work together to fight.
Guan Ping and Cai Mao looked at each other, but Cai Mao took the lead in whining, beating his chest hard and stamping his feet, sighing:
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault.
Zhong Miao was originally my subordinate. His brother asked me to take care of him more during his lifetime, but he didn't expect that he would go on a evil path!
It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.”
He howled for a long time without a single tear flowing, and he could only make a sound and said seriously:
"I thought Zhong Miao, a child, didn't have such courage. It must be the bad guy who led him to ruin him, so he became like this."
"Oh?" Cao Pi's round face was full of confusion, "What does Cai Fujun mean?"
Cai Mao's face was filled with worry and he slowly said:
"I thought it would be not difficult to get Zhong Miao anyway, but it was not easy to catch all the thieves in one go.
At present, our army is insufficient, so it is better to move forward slowly from south to north and ask the Prime Minister to order General Yu to move south slowly, so as to advance north and south, and slowly compress the areas under the chaotic army.
The rioters were forced to break out in the south. This would allow our army to gain an advantage and would not cause trouble to the Central Plains. Major events could be accomplished!"
Cai Mao's method is not a very exquisite method, but what he said is very consistent with Cao Pi's wishes.
Cao Pi didn't want Chang Diao to see through his fostering and self-respecting, and did not want Huo Jun to completely turn against him and ran to the Central Plains to talk nonsense.
It is best to force Huo Jun to surrender with great pressure. If he is unwilling to surrender, he will block Ye County, Funiu Mountain and other places and prevent him from fleeing north.
If he fled south..., then just do whatever he wanted. Cao Pi was happy to see him continue to go south. At that time, a bandit was formed and he could continue to attack in the name of suppressing bandits.
His abacus jingled and said:
"There is no need to inform my father, just write a letter to Yu Jin."
Cai Mao quickly stopped:
"Young Master, it's not that I'm talking too much - it's quite inappropriate for you to mobilize Tanzhi to the north this time.
The young master is now just a Sima of the other subordinates under General Le. The so-called "unrighteous name" means that the words are unpleasant, which is inevitable that people will criticize.
Besides, I have had that little misunderstanding with the Prime Minister before. If the Prime Minister knows that it is me who came up with an idea, I am afraid that I will mutter in my heart again, which will be unbeautiful.
It is better for the young master to confess this to the Prime Minister so that the Prime Minister knows that our hearts are all about eliminating all the culprits and restoring the Han Dynasty, so as not to make any mistakes in the future.”
Cao Pi showed a hint of sudden enlightenment, quickly took a step back, bowed and saluted, with the expression on his face quite sincere:
"If it weren't for the loyal advice of the Cai family, it would have almost misled the big thing."
Cai Mao smiled and said sincerely: "Cai Mao used to be unaware of his destiny. Now he is old and only wants to retire in Nanyang and serve the Han Dynasty temporarily. The young master is full of heroic spirit and has a wise appearance. Cai Mao naturally needs to assist him with all his strength and must not make the young master embarrassed."
Cao Pi had never suffered from Cai Mao's losses, and he really thought that Cai Mao was heartbroken by him. He couldn't help but feel happy and quickly wrote a letter.
Three days later, the letter appeared on the table of Cao Cao in Xudu. Cao Cao looked carefully for a long time, but he did not dare to make up his mind for a moment, so he had to attract everyone to discuss according to the convention.
Cao Cao's chief clerk Yang Xiu took the letter in a hurry, which made the Wang Bi, who wanted to receive the letter, look a little surprised and dissatisfied. Sima Yi saw it silently, thinking that Yang Xiu was really rampant and boundless.
Yang Xiu didn't care at all. After reading the letter, his face turned pale:
"Prime Minister, why do you need to mobilize Yunshan for the trivial matters? This is clearly because Cai Mao doesn't want to do his best!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice:
"What are your opinions?"
"I dare not think about it." Yang Xiu said modestly, "but I think it is quite inappropriate to summon Yunshan."
Yunshan slapped Yang Xiu in the face before, and Yang Xiu had not recovered for several days. He always felt that the counselors from the Prime Minister's Mansion had a little ridicule and trickery in his eyes when he looked at him, and he felt quite bored.
There are thieves in Wancheng, and Yunshan is eager to go to the expedition. It is ridiculous. It is really unreasonable that Yunshan wants to take any credit for any of his achievements.
"Whether it is right or wrong, you can read all the military newspapers first. As the chief clerk, you are so arrogant and frivolous, and make decisions randomly if you don't understand everything?" Wang Bi said with a gloomy face.
Only then did Yang Xiu realize that there was more than one military newspaper in his hand. He quickly opened the other documents and read them one by one. The expression on his face instantly became quite ugly.
"This, this..."
Yunshan's attack procedures are very complete.
At the invitation of Cao Pi and Cai Mao, he received Le Jin's order to attack. After arriving in Fancheng, he did not make any further attacks, but waited for Cao Cao's orders first.
This procedure is absolutely correct, but it turns out that Yunshan can be good at being a human being and doing things, and is unwilling to offend Shangguan or violate the law.
Yang Xiu looked at it unwillingly and looked again and could only nod helplessly and said:
"I was wrongly blamed General Yun."
Cao Cao snorted and his eyes were on Sima Yi's side.
"Zhongda, Cai Mao said that he would mobilize Wen, and advance north and south to surround the traitors. What do you think?"
Sima Yi snatched the military newspaper from Yang Xiu's hand, looked carefully, first nodded, then shook his head:
"I thought this matter...is acceptable. But there is a problem in this. Please think twice - the two armies should advance, who should be the center to coordinate?"
Wancheng is the northern gate of Jingzhou, and in theory it is also under the jurisdiction of Lejin.
At the same time, Wancheng also belongs to Nanyang County, and Cai Mao can also manage it.
But Yu Jin was Cao Cao's confidant general, and he was the leader of all the generals of other surnames. Now he is responsible for the central scheduling of Wancheng. It would be fine to give Le a face. Cai Mao and Yunshan still want to command him, but they really don't have any sects.
"So, Degui is really quite alert and careful."
Cao Cao changed his name to Cai Mao again to "Degui", which shows that Cai Mao did something that satisfies Cao Cao this time.
He thought about it over and over again and asked Sima Yi:
"Who do you think should be the leader?"
Sima Yi leaned over and bowed:
"I thought that I should use Prince Huan as the governor and guard, and temporarily supervise him, and then discuss the strategies of advancing with Cai Degui..."
Sima Yi wanted to continue talking, but Yang Xiu jumped out and said loudly:
"No! Although Mr. Zihuan has a noble status, he is now a Sima of Le Wenqian, who hastily protected the two armies. He is afraid that Yunshan will not be convinced, and Yu Jin will also let some traitors be wrong. Please think twice."
Of course, Cao Cao understood what Yang Xiu meant.
Cao Cao is not the emperor, so it would be fine if his official supervisor led the army. His son Yile joined the Sima governor of other troops under his command, which was too disgusting for him. I am afraid that all the generals of the Cao family would be dissatisfied.
It is okay to temporarily add a military advisor or prefect to his son, but this will undoubtedly send a wrong signal, making people feel that Cao Cao's heir has been decided, and it is not true that he will cancel it afterwards, nor is it true that he will not cancel it.
Be on top.
He hesitated for a long time, thinking that the commander of Yunshan, Yu Jin, would definitely not be convinced, and the commander of Yu Jin, Yunshan, would definitely not be convinced, Cai Mao, the commander of Cai Mao, was afraid that there would be a major disaster, and the commander of Le Jin, might be exploited by Sun Liu, when he went north.
It's so annoying, why is everything so difficult?
Yang Xiu and Sima Yi looked at each other and saw a trace of murderous intent in each other's eyes.
They each supported Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. Now the open and secret struggle has reached a fever pitch. Whoever ascended Cao Cao's position will be greatly purged, and we cannot give in to each other at this moment.
Cao Zhi had a good evaluation of Yunshan, but Ding Yi had a very poor evaluation of Yunshan. He said that this man was a wolf-like ambition and just bewitched the young master with his ecstasy, which may lead to a disaster in the future.
When Yang Xiu thought of this, he was even more reluctant to Yunshan succeed.
Well, if you think about it carefully, Yunshan and Cai Mao are not things. It would be great if they could defeat Cao Pi.
How powerful can a group of thieves be? No matter how stupid Yu Jin is, can’t he still defend Wancheng?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiu suddenly had an idea.
