When Ma Di was receiving instruction from Cai Yong with sticks in Cai's Mansion, Cao Cao stood in his courtyard, looking at the former Taiwei's Mansion surrounded by disciples, and was filled with sighs for a while.
In the past, hundreds of millions of wealth were dissipated in a matter of seconds just because Yuan Shao Mingzhe protected himself and refused to save him. He even almost lost his own life.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart boiled with anger.
If Yuan Shao hadn't patted his chest to ensure that nothing happened to him, he would never have taken over the post of General of the Expedition to the West so early.
Therefore, the bridge is closed.
Cao Song first elaborated on the matter of dispersing the family property, and then said: "Yuan Shao now holds the high position of general and has long forgotten his past friendship. My son needs to remember today's shame and work hard to make a comeback. Otherwise, he will
You will be laughed at by the people of the world. They will not laugh at Yuan Shao's improper employment, but they will laugh at you for not overestimating your capabilities! They will laugh at you after you were born as an eunuch. As a father, I have long been old and incompetent, and I am not worthy of the law. It is a pity that Mengde has lost all his fame in your life.
Destroyed and subjected to such humiliation!"
After hearing his father's words, Cao Cao's forehead sprouted veins, he slapped the table and shouted, "Yuan Shaopifu! You and I are at odds with each other!"
Cao Song hurriedly advised: "My son, please keep your voice down. Do not let outsiders hear these words. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. When he makes a comeback, it will not be too late to settle today's old scores."
Cao Cao was still very angry: "I swear to kill these animals to avenge my shame!"
Cao Song hurriedly waved his hand: "My son, please do not speak loudly. The Yuan family is now in control of the government, and all national affairs are determined by Shao. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the future, so as not to implicate the family."
Cao Cao was not a brainless person. Hearing what his old father said, he quickly calmed down and asked, "Now that the family's wealth is gone, what are my father's plans?"
Cao Song sighed: "With my son's talents, he will be used again soon. When the time comes, remember to endure the hatred for the time being and wait for the times to change. As a father, I will soon take care of my family and return to my hometown. You can make your own decisions about matters in Beijing."
."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Meng De, you have a very good personal relationship with Cai Yong. I think his son Su seems to have the wisdom to turn things around and the unpredictable ability of gods and ghosts. Why don't you move around with him more, maybe he can come up with something wonderful?"
It’s also unknown.”
Cao Cao was convinced: "Father reminded me that I will come to thank him right away."
After saying this, he opened the door, walked out firmly, and soon disappeared on the street outside.
Cao Song leaned at the door, staring blankly at the streets of Luoyang, the capital, and murmured to himself: "Let's go, let's go..."
The consequences of the defeat of Chang'an were very serious, but it did not have any impact on the princes in the court. No matter how brave the Xiliang army was, which was dominated by cavalry, it could only dominate Xiliang and Guanzhong.
It is absolutely impossible to break into Luoyang and change the dynasty.
So, there's nothing to panic about.
Under the leadership of Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, the Han Dynasty deployed heavy troops at various passes and engaged in a pragmatic defensive posture with the Xiliang army.
In the next three months, the Xiliang Army launched several large-scale offensives and pushed the front line eastward to the east line of Tongguan River. However, it was unable to attack repeatedly and was unable to advance. This offensive continued until Zhaoning, the great Han Dynasty.
Spring of the second year (190).
Zhaoning is the second reign name of Liu Zhu. Liu Hong died of illness in April of the sixth year of Zhongping (189). Empress He made Liu Zhu the emperor on Wuwu Day of the same month and changed the reign name to "Guangxi".
After experiencing the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, it was changed to "Zhaoning"...
In the spring and March of the second year of Zhaoning, the Xiliang army led by Han Sui and Ma Teng launched a large-scale attack on Tongguan for the fifth time. One hundred thousand cavalry gathered in front of the pass, facing the Han army general Zhu Jun within a stone's throw.
The two armies faced off at Tongguan for more than three months, and it was difficult to determine the outcome. Just when everyone thought that the war would last until summer, the core figure of the Xiliang Army, Han Suixiang, suddenly died of an "illness" in the army. , the Xiliang army was in chaos and had to retreat in a hurry.
Han Sui's sudden death had an unprecedented shock to the alliance-based Xiliang Army. Shortly after his death, a civil war broke out within the Xiliang Army during their retreat. The instigator of the civil war was Han Sui's adopted son Lu Bu. , Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son were unable to defeat a pack of wolves, and had to lead half of the Qiang cavalry to flee back to Liangzhou.
All the land in Guanzhong fell into Lu Bu's hands.
However, Han Sui's death has always been a mystery. The death of illness was only a statement given by Lu Bu. It is difficult for outsiders to know the specific details, because Han Sui's close confidant Yan Xing also died mysteriously on the night of Han Sui's death. The truth of Han Sui's death has been revealed. Completely covered up.
After General Zhu Jun learned that there was civil strife in the Xiliang army, he was overjoyed. Xingye led 30,000 troops to pursue him, but was easily defeated by Lu Bu, who only had more than 20,000 troops. Even Zhu Jun himself was killed on the spot.
After this battle, the vitality of the imperial court was severely damaged.
General Yuan Shao had to mobilize troops and horses from elsewhere and rushed to Tongguan. At the same time, he immediately held a court meeting to discuss the candidates for the new general.
In the court, all the civil and military officials expressed their opinions. Some people thought that Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, should be recruited to resist Lu Bu. Some people thought that Changsha was too far away. It would take more than a month to travel there, and water far away could not quench the thirst of those nearby. Others suggested that Lu Zhi or Huangfu Song should take over. However, both of them were old and could not resign.
There was a dispute at court, and the imperial censor Zhongcheng Cai Yong proposed to re-enable Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu. The reason Cai Yong gave was that Cao Cao was defeated by Lu Bu last time and almost died. This time he will definitely realize his shame and act bravely. hate.
As soon as this proposal came out, all the officials were silent.
They all know that Cao Cao's ability to lead troops is up to standard. Strictly speaking, Cao Cao did lose unfairly last time. Moreover, they had only received the money from the Cao family a few months ago, and they were short-handed. It was absolutely impossible today. Jumped out to oppose Cao Cao's comeback.
Seeing that the officials did not object, Yuan Shao was happy to re-enable Cao Cao. In his opinion, although he did not help Cao Cao last time when he was in dire straits, if Cao Cao is his younger brother for one day, he will be his for life. Brother, as for whether Cao Cao thinks so, that's not important.
Yuan Shao knew very well that as a general, you don't have to care about what others think. He Jin cared too much about what others thought, so he acted like a fool and was messed with by him, which directly cost him his life.
Therefore, after the court meeting, Zhu Jun's position was taken over by Cao Cao, and Ma Di was promoted to the army general. No civil and military officials expressed any objection to this appointment. Public opinion in both the government and the public believed that this was Cao Cao repaying Cai Yong for saving his life. .
In addition, Ma Su has a brilliant record. Although he is a little younger, he is very big. As long as he does not tell himself, no one will think of him as a nine-year-old child. You know, when he was eight years old, he personally killed a big man. Demon King Dong Zhuo.…
What's more, the Qin Dynasty still had Gan Luo who paid homage to the prime minister at the age of twelve. How could the Han Dynasty lag behind? There is nothing wrong with being a general at the age of nine!
In May of the second year of Zhaoning, Cao Cao and Ma Su led their troops to Tongguan and pointed their swords at Chang'an.
On the other hand, the situation in Guanzhong is undergoing a reshuffle.
The death of Han Sui meant that the Xiliang army was completely split into two parts, and turned from the offensive side to the defensive side. After that, it would be difficult to pose a fundamental threat to the Han Dynasty.
At Ma Di's suggestion, Cao Cao changed his previous strategy of quick victory and chose to divide his troops into two groups. He personally led the army from Tongguan to the west to attack Chang'an City, while Ma Su led a partial division to march from the waterway, passing through the Weishui River and Luoshui River.
, attacked the hinterland of Guanzhong west of Chang'an, occupied counties and encroached on the place.
This plan went very smoothly. With the strategy of two-pronged attack, the Han army quickly occupied most of the territory in Guanzhong.
Tired of running for his life, Lu Bu sent eight generals to attack in multiple directions, trying to regain the counties. However, Cao Cao concentrated his superior troops and killed all the troops halfway.
So Lu Bu changed his strategy and personally led an army to rescue various counties.
But as soon as his army arrives, the soldiers and horses led by Ma Di will withdraw early and give up control of the city; as soon as Lu Bu leaves, Ma Di will come back with troops.
After pulling repeatedly like this several times, Lu Bu was exhausted and complained endlessly; the soldiers complained and their morale was low.
If Lu Bu was familiar with the history of the Chu-Han War, he would definitely understand that this was the "tiring enemy tactic" used by Liu Bang when he defeated Xiang Yu.
It is a pity that although Lu Bu has read the book, he does not seek to understand it deeply. Few of the eight generals under his command have even read the book.
Then there's no way.
He could only be played around with applause by Ma Di and Cao Cao.
In the blink of an eye, time came to August of the second year of Zhaoning, and a full year had passed since the defeat of Chang'an.
Six years after coming to this era, Ma Su finally arrived at the system that was long overdue.
That night, Ma Su was lying in his tent by the Weishui River with his legs crossed, daydreaming, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears along with an unknown object falling from the sky.
[Model, the simulator is...is...loading...]
"Fuck!"
Ma Su jumped up and stamped violently on the unknown object on the ground.
"You damn bitch are finally willing to come here?!"
