Cao Ang looked at the seal and ribbon Fu Wan left for him and scratched his head with some confusion. If he read it correctly, this was the seal and ribbon of Zhi Jinwu, right? Fu Wan probably trained the Imperial Guards with the Northern Army. I always felt that
There's something incredible about doing this.
"No matter what, we'll just take a look when the time comes. I hope there won't be a fight in Chang'an City." Cao Ang couldn't care less about observing these things at this time. He really could only pray that there wouldn't be a fight in Chang'an City.
In fact, a fight almost broke out in Chang'an City just now. After the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who led Cao Ang back and forth passed the news of Cao Ang's entry into the palace, Dong Cheng, Zhong Ji and others entered the palace.
Private soldiers have been secretly raised and ready to fight.
After all, the Cao family had begun to gather their forces to prepare for "rebellion", so Dong Cheng and others could not help but be careless.
In such an atmosphere, Xia Houshang was not an idiot, so he was naturally on guard. Both sides suppressed their inner restlessness, but were always ready to take action.
It was not until the leader of the Imperial Army brought Cao Ang's words and the jade pendant to Xiahou Shang that Xiahou Shang reluctantly calmed down and no longer secretly targeted Dong Cheng and others as before.
As for Dong Cheng and others, they also received the news from Fu Wan's people in the inner palace at almost the same time. Everyone quietly packed up their private soldiers and were no longer as alert as before. However, whether it was Xia Houshang or Dong Cheng,
Everyone knew that they could no longer turn a blind eye as before, and this time the two sides were almost face to face.
After Fu Wan and Cao Ang came out one after another, Dong Cheng and Xia Houshang felt completely at ease. Both sides packed up their troops and then consciously withdrew towards Chang'an.
"Are you okay?" Xiahou Shang looked Cao Ang up and down, then asked.
"Huh..." Cao Ang took a deep breath, "After living for so many years, I may not have seen as many things as today. By the way, it is not as thrilling as today. To be honest, I can stand here completely now. I admire it.
Myself."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xia Houshang said dissatisfied, and then looked Cao Ang up and down to make sure there was nothing wrong, and he felt relieved.
"Hahaha, you haven't seen me today." Cao Ang shook his head repeatedly, and then he felt that it was better not to spread this kind of thing to anyone, so he shut up again.
"You guy." Xiahou Shang saw that when Cao Ang was about to say something, he suddenly shut up. He couldn't help but shook his head, but he didn't take it to heart. It didn't matter what happened in Changle Palace, as long as Cao Ang came out intact.
.
"But in the future, don't go alone to meet His Majesty." Xiahou Shang glanced at Cao Ang and said, Cao Ang was shocked when he heard this.
"By the way, you have people take these two things to the Northern Army and recruit all the Northern Army into our army." Cao Ang handed over the jade pendant and Jinwu seal ribbon given by Fu Wan to Xiahou Shang.
"Huh? The Northern Army?"
All the military funds have been misappropriated. Without military funds, where would the Northern Army come from?"
"If I ask you to go, just go. Why are you talking so much?" Cao Ang glanced at Xia Houshang and said dissatisfied.
Xia Houshang touched his chin, turned his head and said to a strong young man beside him, "Zidan, take these two things and go to the Northern Army, and the recruited troops will be organized under your command."
Cao Zhen stretched out his hand to take the seal ribbon and jade pendant, and then drove his horse in the direction of the Northern Army. After waiting there, he saw from a distance that there was a field of grass outside the original Northern Army's camp, and the camp defenses also looked like
It looked rickety as if it hadn't been repaired for many years. Although the fence was high, it looked shabby.
However, after getting closer, Cao Zhen heard the sound of training in the camp. However, before he could find the entrance, two people suddenly jumped out from under the turf and were about to attack Cao Zhen.
Immediately, Cao Zhen took out Jinwu's seal ribbon and the jade pendant that Xiahou Shang gave him. Immediately, the two soldiers forcibly stopped their movements, then clasped their fists and saluted Cao Zhen.
"General, what are you doing here?" After a soldier saluted Cao Zhen, he walked directly into the tunnel and sneaked into the camp. Another soldier asked Cao Zhen what he was doing here.
"Move troops, the Southern Huns are heading south and are about to enter Sili. In order to avoid the loss of lives, we need to take a preemptive strike." Cao Zhen did not hide it and said immediately.
Soon someone jumped out of the big pit. After seeing Cao Zhen, "The last general Feng Kai needs to compare the jade pendant with the seal ribbon of Zhi Jinwu."
Cao Zhen lowered the two items again. Feng Kai took out a piece of silk cloth from his pocket and began to observe the patterns on it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the two items, he cupped his fists and saluted Cao Zhen, "I have my responsibilities, so I still have to do it."
Please forgive me, Northern Military Colonel Feng Kai has seen the general, what are your orders?"
"Send troops and prepare to go north to stop the Xiongnu from going south." Cao Zhen repeated it again.
"The whole army attacks?" Feng Kai asked with a frown.
"Attack the whole army!" Cao Zhen nodded, and then after Feng Kai confirmed that the message and things were correct, he decisively took out his horn and blew it with a strange rhythm. Soon Cao Zhen felt the vibration of the earth.
There was a tremor, and then the fence fell.
More than three thousand Northern soldiers were wearing armor and standing neatly in rows.
"This is the Northern Army?" Cao Zhen said in disbelief. Just this kind of orders and prohibitions were not inferior to the elites led by Cao Cao.
"All the Northern troops are here, please give the general's order!" Feng Kai did not answer Cao Zhen's question at all, but only answered according to the rules and regulations.
The orders given by Liu Yu and Fu Wan back then were that if one day someone comes with a seal ribbon and jade pendant, no matter what the other party is like, they must obey the other party's command!
It is precisely because of this that Feng Kaicai has no doubts about Cao Zhen, but even if he has doubts, it doesn't matter. Their order is to obey the command of the person holding the seal ribbon and the jade pendant.
In fact, this army originally belonged to Liu Yu. Although Liu Yu was a talent, it did not mean that Liu Yu's subordinates were a talent. A group of veterans were selected from Youzhou and sent here in groups.
At first, Xian Yufu and others only wanted to ensure Liu Yu's safety. After all, that period was still the period when Li Jue was in power. Although Li Jue did not take action against Liu Yu, Li Jue's reputation was not good and he suffered a loss from Gongsun Zan.
Liu Yu's subordinates spontaneously prepared troops for Liu Yu.
However, as Liu Yu had more and more veterans under his command, it became difficult for Liu Yu to deal with it. When Fu Wan accidentally learned about this, he came up with the idea of training an army of his own for the emperor, so he sent it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was informed.
Liu Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Xie at the time. When Fu Wan mentioned the matter, Liu Yu, who was worried about how to deal with these veterans at the time, handed over all the veterans to Fu Wan without even thinking.
Later, Fu Wan found a good military training expert, namely Feng Kai, and then coordinated with him to get himself into the position of Zhi Jinwu.
After that, he naturally put the Northern Army camp under his name, and then began closed training. The Northern Army camp itself was very remote, and Fu Wan deliberately did not repair the outside. The entire camp almost succeeded in fooling everyone.
people.
In addition, Li Jue was focused on cleaning up his body at the time and did not pay attention to the Northern Army at all, so no one knew about it. When Cao Cao entered Sili, Fu Wan originally wanted to activate the Northern Army, but the change was too big.
Hurry, Zhang Ji has already surrendered before the Northern Army takes the field.
Fu Wan's Northern Army also hid in hiding. When Cao Cao arrived, Fu Wan was still acting as Jinwu, and the Northern Army was still under control. Fu Wan specially recruited Ren Xia Qingpi from Chang'an to silently form the Northern Army under Cao Cao's nose.
The darkness under the shining light almost hid it from everyone.
Of course, Xun Yu did find problems with the import and export of people and materials, but Xun Yu turned a blind eye to this aspect, and with a wave of his hand, these mismatches were changed into fire consumption and warehouse replenishment, and then they were replaced again.
No one could tell, and Fu Wan thought it was the spirit of the late emperor who was secretly assisting him.
After Liu Yu was injured by Liu Xie, the Northern Army camp was completely handed over to Fu Wan. Over the past few years, soldiers who were originally veterans of Youzhou, coupled with their diligent cultivation, went out to clean up after the snow in winter.
The gangsters keep fighting.
The combat effectiveness of the entire Northern Army has truly been raised to the elite level. However, at this level, even if you have the foundation of a veteran and are diligent in training, if you do not go to the battlefield, this will be considered to be the limit. It is impossible.
It's growing.
But for Fu Wan, this northern army was enough. In order to support these three thousand people, Fu Wan's family had been basically empty.
This is an ancient surname that can be used before Xuanyuan. It is a surname that was only used by people after Huaxu, Fuxi and Nuwa. It is a terrible surname that can be used everywhere.
Naturally, they were all aristocrats in ancient times, medieval times, pre-ancient times, and pre-Qin Dynasty. There was no obvious decline in the Han Dynasty. Even though the inheritance was passed down to the end of Fu, although the population was only a few hundred due to family problems, it cannot be said that it declined.
.
When the Western Han Dynasty was founded, their family was a marquis, and even after Fu Sheng's death, he went to the temple to enjoy sacrifices. Needless to say, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, by Fu Wan, there were already seven generations of marquises. The accumulation of wealth in the family is no joke.
However, in the past few years, Fu Wan's family's savings have been basically spent. If it hadn't been for borrowing hundreds of millions of money from Liu Yu, Dong Cheng, and Wang Fu, Fu Wan might not have been able to afford the important task of raising an army.
Already.
It's a pity that Youdao is not as good as God. It has been like a day for several years. Even the chess pieces that were laid during Li Jue's era relied on the unremitting watering of these people. When they were about to grow up, they were completely lost because of Liu Xie's mania.
significance.
This army was initially used to fight against Li Jue, later to protect the emperor, and later to defend the emperor from the siege and reorganize the country. After Fu finished, he died and was surrendered to others.
He didn't commit suicide after lying in wait in the palace. He just didn't want to bring a stain on Liu Xie. He didn't want Dong Cheng and others who later learned about it to be shaken because of him. He also didn't want Dong Cheng to lead the matter to Cao Ang.
On the body.
Although the emperor's actions devastated Fu Wan, and so far the emperor has not shown the slightest vigilance, wisdom, and composure that any of the things the emperor needs have appeared in Liu Xie, but Liu Xie is the emperor after all.
Liu Xie could not be saved, but the country of the Han Dynasty still needed to be saved. Fu Wan was heartbroken. When he arranged the crown and Xuanyi for Liu Xie and saw that he had become somewhat emperor-like, he silently lamented in his heart.
, it’s beyond gold and jade!
So after doing all this, after saying all this, Fu Wan has fulfilled his duties as a monarch and his ministers. There is only so much he can teach Liu Xie. After performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, the rest depends on whether his blood can awaken the emperor.
.
Now Liu Xie is just a mortal sitting on the throne of the emperor. He does not have everything that an emperor should have. He helps Liu Xie do what he should do. When he steps forward calmly after Fu, all that is left in his heart is to serve the country.
Totally loyal.
After all, the matter of the Southern Huns needs an explanation. The emperor cannot explain it, so only Fu Wan can do it. What's more, Fu Wan is now completely heartbroken and no longer wants to continue.
The object he had always hoped for suddenly collapsed, and the person who had always been his enemy, when his heart died, was finally able to observe Cao Ang and Cao Cao from a third party's outside perspective.
Only then did he realize that what he was supporting was just a mediocre person, and the person he had always thought was a traitor actually had the bearing of a king and the demeanor of a tyrant, but he was short-sighted.
So when Fu Wan died, he had been loyal to Liu Xie and told all his wisdom in life. He was also loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He used his death to bear the edict of the Southern Huns to go south. He also left a message for the family.
On the road to survival, Cao Angcheng expressed his feelings today. If something big happens in the future, the Fu family will have someone to protect it.
As for the three thousand Northern troops, Fu Wan used it to make up for Liu Xie's mistakes. Although he should have led the troops personally, now that Fu Wan was unable to go north, he could only count on Cao Ang for everything.
"It's a pity. I was blind at first, but it's a pity that I can see him today." After saying that, he committed suicide with his sword.
Naturally, Cao Ang doesn't know these things yet. All Cao Ang can see is the three thousand elite soldiers that Cao Zhen brought back.
Of course, Xiahou Shang also saw the three thousand elites led by Cao Zhen. He was shocked at first, and then hurried over to persuade Cao Zhen, fearing that Cao Zhen was young and would ruin these three thousand elites for the first time on the battlefield.
"Zidan, you have never led an army before, how can you lead an army this time?" Xiahou Shang persuaded Cao Zhen immediately when he saw that Cao Zhen was leading three thousand elite troops to merge with his five hundred troops.
"Brother, you can't do this. We agreed at the time." Cao Zhen looked at Xia Houshang who came over to persuade him with dissatisfaction. "I made it very clear before. I will take it back and incorporate it into my camp."
As Cao Zhen spoke, he ran towards Cao Ang, and soon the two of them turned to Cao Ang's side.
"Brother, Brother Xiahou doesn't mean what he says." Cao Zhen ran to Cao Ang and complained.
"Zixiu, you are serious. You didn't even tell me that the Northern Army still has three thousand elite troops. Zidan is young and lacks the experience of commanding a large army. How can you feel at ease leading an army like this?" Xiahou Shang asked.
