Chapter 2240: You can’t get what you want, and you can’t give it up(1/2)
King Wuhuan, Lou Ban, was dead.
Lou Ban was not the first Hu tribe leader to die in assassination, nor was he the last one.
Assassination is even more timeless than diamonds.
Solving things or solving people is not a multiple-choice question that will only occur in later generations.
The sources of assassins in the pre-Qin period were relatively simple. Most of them were disciples raised by nobles. Among them, disciples who were deeply trusted by nobles could even follow their masters to meet the king, such as Cao Mo, Zhuangzhu and others.
However, after the Han Dynasty, the sources of assassins were relatively complicated. Among them were disciples, slaves, and even teenagers. Some of these people were descendants of criminals, some of them did not understand the dangers of society and some of them were assassins. Of course, there were more professional assassins. Therefore, these assassins not only had complex identities, but also had close relationships with their masters. The ultimate purpose of assassination was also for money.
Especially in the Western Han Dynasty, the high-ranking officials of society had a bad temper. When Emperor Jing of Han Liu Qi was the crown prince, he played chess with the crown prince of Wu. The crown prince of Wu was ridiculed for being poor in chess skills. Liu Qi was furious and actually picked up the chessboard and smashed the crown prince of Wu to death. Of course, the things behind him were probably not as simple as ridicule, but if Emperor Wen of Han handled this matter properly, the angry King of Wu might have sent someone to kill the crown prince.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the prince himself killed people, and even more so was the inferior officials. From the prefect to the local minority officials, he sent his disciples and recruited knights to assassinate opponents, he did not lose his limits until after Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he publicly stated that the assassination was wrong and he could not be fooled, but it could not be completely avoided, and even affected the present.
Yuan Shu used this method, Sun Quan did it, and Cao Cao also used it. Now it seems that it was General Fei Qian's turn.
"That's the cavalryman!" Wu Yan shouted, "I recognize them! They are the cavalryman of the Han Dynasty!"
Nanlou looked at Lou Ban's body with a sad face and did not speak immediately. Wuhuan King Lou Ban grew up watching Nanlou. Although it seems to be a bit estranged in recent years, there are still some emotions. Now that life and death are separated, I am naturally sad.
In fact, Lou Ban was not seriously injured at that time, but the subsequent inflammation made the Wuhuan people's shallow medical technology helpless. Then the inflammation of a wound continued to cause sepsis, which eventually led to Lou Ban's death from internal organ failure...
『Revenge!』 Wu Yan shouted, 『We want to avenge the king!』
Then a group of Wuhuan people were shouting like this, and the feelings were surging for a while.
『Quiet!』 The Right Xian Wang Nanlou frowned, "This matter needs to be investigated..."
"What else to check?!" Wu Yan waved his hands, like a crow waving his wings, "What else to check? The king is dead, what else to check? It's the man from the cavalry general. What else to check? After searching, the king's corpse is rotten! I can't avenge yet, how can we comfort the king's heroic spirit?! Revenge! We want to take revenge! Pay blood for blood, and pay blood debt for blood!"
Undoubtedly, Wu Yan's words were very inspiring to the Wuhuan people, so a large group of people raised their arms and even the swords on their waists, yelling at the sky, "Revenge! Revenge! Repay blood with blood, and pay blood debts with blood!"
Nanlou stared at Wuyan, and Wuyan also stared at Nanlou.
"This matter is not that simple!" Nanlou said to Wuyan in a noisy voice, "Don't think too easily!"
"You're thinking too much!" Wu Yan also said to Nanlou, "I just want to avenge the king!"
『Hmph!』X2
The two of them stalemate for a moment, and then they snorted at each other, no longer looking at each other, as if they would feel disgusted when they looked at each other for a second.
For Nanlou, revenge is not the first priority.
Although he has feelings for the building class, can feelings be eaten as a meal?
Nanlou is older. The older he is, the more he knows that eating is the hard truth. True fragrance is the essence of human beings, and emotions are just the icing on the cake.
Then the meal that Nanlou wants to eat now is the throne of Wuhuan.
Before the death of Lou Class, although many people, even the witch doctors in the clan, wanted to make Lou Class awake for a moment and look back, at least to explain some funerals, designate an agent, etc., but unfortunately, the complications of inflammation have completely destroyed Lou Class's nerves, causing Lou Class to die in pain in coma and semi-coma, and cannot leave only a few words...
But this cannot make it difficult.
Nanlou summoned everyone, and the original intention was to take the right wise king to the throne of King Wuhuan under the public's recommendation...
The Right King originally had the right to inherit the throne.
So at the beginning, Nanlou thought that this matter would be natural and natural, but he didn't expect Wuyan to jump out and shout slogans of revenge, disrupting Nanlou's arrangements.
Should I take revenge on Louban? It should be, but that is a question to consider after ascending to the King of Wuhuan in Nanlou, and what is more important is to ascend to the throne first.
But it is impossible to say that in the open...
So, Wu Yan's anus was trapped by Wu Yan.
Then was Wu Yan really trying to avenge the Wuhuan King Lou Ban?
Joke, Wu Yan is neither the father of the Lou Class nor the child of the Lou Class. He just wants to take this opportunity to win over the tribe members of the Lou Class.
The Hu people are tribal systems, and the population of the tribe is the confidence, voice of their words, and everything.
The Wuhuan King Lou Ban died and his son was still young, so this stage is the best time to start. Moreover, if it is in the name of revenge, it will be easier to gain the favor of the Lou Ban’s directly affiliated tribe, and it will be easier to win over or annex the process...
What's more, Lou Ban and Nanlou had already had some conflicts before. Although the two seemed to be nothing wrong on the surface, there were also some conflicts of big and small in their tribes. If they didn't know how to take this opportunity to do it, would they wait until Nanlou ascends to the position of King Wuhuan before doing it?
Therefore, Wu Yan bit the vengeance and put forward the attitude of waiting for revenge in other issues. Besides, if you are in the process of revenge, you can do it by the way...
Seeing that everyone was excited for a moment, they couldn't say anything. They simply claimed that it was too late today and they would discuss matters tomorrow, and with the idea of calming down this wave of emotions first and then dealing with them, they would disband.
Although Wu Yan was not willing to give up, the Right Xian King was already the highest position among the Wuhuan people at present, so he could not object on the surface. He sneered a few times and took some people away.
Seeing this, the rest gradually dispersed in groups of three or three.
Nanlou stared at Wu Yan's back tightly, and hatred appeared in his eyes.
If I had known it, I would have found a chance to deal with him!
but……
Nanlou withdrew his gaze. He was careless today and thought it was a foregone conclusion, so he did not communicate well with several major tribes in advance, but tomorrow...
Nanlou smiled, his smile was full of confidence.
Have some compromises and don’t be in a mess.
…(〃′铎`)q (`铎′#)…
"Zihe!" Cao Hong shouted, "Calm down!"
"Yuyang is lost!" Cao Chun's eyes were about to break, "It's lost!"
Cao Hong frowned, "Zihe! If you can't calm down anymore, I will call you a guard!"
Cao Chun walked around the tent like a trapped beast for two times, then swept down the table beside him, and finally sat down, panting heavily.
The guard outside the tent heard a strange noise, stretched out his head and looked at it. When he saw Cao Hong waved his hand, he shrank back again.
"If you are in a different place..." Cao Hong looked at Cao Chun, "I will be unable to control myself... If Zihe wants to do something for Yuyang, it will not be possible to calm down..."
『I promised them…』 Unconsciously, Cao Chun burst into tears, holding his head with both hands, 『I promised them…Justice to engage in…the people…I promised them…I promised them…I promised…』
Since taking over as the prefect of Yuyang, Cao Chun has devoted almost all his energy to it, patrolling the city every day, resettling the people, working with water conservancy, and even repairing the city walls together. Cao Chun has taken the lead in everything in Yuyang and has participated in it. It is precisely because Cao's family has been gradually accepted by the people of Yuyang, and now...
Cao Chun felt that he had not only abandoned Yuyang, but also abandoned himself.
"Yuyang is alone, with Gongsun in the east, the desert in the north, and the strong enemy in the west, and Jizhou is tired of war and has no assistance. This place is a military tyrant! It is like a big siege, swallowing flesh and blood, endless!" Cao Hong said slowly, "The lord retreated and guarded this place without considering the loss of one place and one city. First, it will be quick to replenish food and grass, second, it will be easy to transfer soldiers, third, it will be... close to Jizhou..."
『But there are still tens of thousands of people in Yuyang, and the Cao family's children!" Cao Chun hammered the ground with his hand, 『If you want to abandon it, why not leave early!』
"If this is not the case, how can foreign enemies take it as true?" Cao Hong said slowly, "Sacrificing for the country is inevitable..."
"You!" Cao Chun turned around and glared at Cao Hong, but retreated under Cao Hong's cold gaze. Finally, he sighed and left.
For Cao Chun, Yuyang is a place where he has devoted countless efforts and sweat, and he also has the rural people he knows. For Cao Hong, it is just a city and a secluded northern border.
What can the loss of a city and a place be considered in the face of the overall situation?
Le Jin happened to come to report military affairs to Cao Hong, but when he ran into Cao Chun, he hurriedly came forward to say hello. Cao Chun ignored him at all and walked straight away. Le Jin felt a little unhappy. He stared at Cao Chun's back and then entered the central army tent. He saw the table that was overturned by Cao Chun at a glance. He couldn't help but be stunned: "General... This..."
Cao Hong waved his hand, obviously he didn't want to mention this matter, "How about the army?"
『It has been installed...』 Le Jin took out a map from his sleeve, 『This is a defense map...』
Cao Hong took it, then looked at it, nodded, "Thank you for your hard work in Wen Qian..."
"The general is too rewarded, this is a matter of his subordinates..." Le Jin replied.
Cao Hong said: "Now that Yuyang is trapped, the enemy is coming soon! Wen Qian can keep the front line tightly and wait until he enters the trap, and then he can make new contributions!"
Le Jin clasped his fists, "I dare not obey my orders!"
…(o?▽?)o…
"Zihe..." Cao Cao looked up at the sky and said slowly, "If you hate me, you are..."
For the sake of overall strategy, Cao Cao didn't even say hello to Cao Chun at the beginning.
Guo Jia said on the side: "This strategy is for me. If my son and the general have resentment, it should be somewhere and has nothing to do with the lord..."
"The Qing people are in Peng, next to Sijie. Two spears are in Ying, and the river is soaring..." Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly and chanted slowly, "The Qing people are in Huang, and the river is soaring. Two spears are in Qiao, and the river is sober..."
"The army of Qingyi..." Cao Cao paused, then looked at Guo Jia, "Is Gao Ke's fault? Is Zheng Gong's fault?"
Guo Jiaran silently said that this question is not easy to deal with.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't mean to make things difficult for Guo Jia, it was just his own feelings, so after a moment, he changed the topic and said: "What's wrong with Cui Jigui?"
After returning to Cao Cao, Guo Jia re-engaged his old business and analyzed and processed internal and external information. After hearing Cao Cao's question, Guo Jia almost didn't have to check any information and notes, and said directly: "Since last month, Cui Biejia went to the military farming place. He returned to bed for ten days and did not see any outsiders..."
Cao Cao snorted.
"The rest of the people are not abnormal..." Guo Jia said slowly, "Youbei has been lost, the barrier has been gone, and foreign enemies are coming. If these people are ignorant..."
Cao Cao smiled slightly. However, in Cao Cao's smile, there was not much pride, but there was a hint of bitterness.
Is Cao Cao willing to abandon Youzhou?
Not willing.
But in life, there are many times when it is not something that is personal or unwilling to solve all problems.
Abandoning Youzhou Yuyang is the first step in Cao Cao's current grand strategy.
To be continued...
