The drizzle is still falling, making everyone irritated.
Cao Zhang came out of Zhang Liao's tent, his mind was in a mess and almost turned into a ball of mush. The wet sand table had been completely prepared. However, as Cao Zhang had expected before, it would be too difficult to invade western Liaoning from the front.
If it is large, the losses will inevitably be serious.
Fortunately, he had already had the idea of sitting down the drain, so after a short period of hesitation, he finally set his sights on Liucheng.
Liucheng is the home of Tadun, the master of Karasuma in western Liaoning.
Tadun and Yuan Xi were hiding in Liucheng to remotely control the battle of Feiru. At the same time, Yuan Xi invited Liaodong powerful Gongsun Kang to send troops to strengthen Feiru's front-line defense. Guo Jia also believed that Cao Zhang's idea was very good
.If a frontal attack is made, the losses will be huge...
But, how to sneak attack on Liucheng?
This is still a difficult problem.
Fortunately, at this time, someone recommended Tian Chou, a native of Beiping, to Cao Cao, who solved Cao Cao's army's troubles.
This Tianchou, whose pseudonym is Zitai, is a native of Wujiang.
In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo moved west to the Han Emperor in Chang'an. Liu Yu, who was the governor of Youzhou at the time, heard that Tian Chou was young but talented, so he enlisted him as an envoy. Later, he was ordered by Liu Yu to be an envoy to Chang'an.
He was favored by Dong Zhuo and offered the post of Captain of the Cavalry. However, Tian Chou believed that the emperor was still in trouble and could not be honored by He, so he refused. Dong Zhuo thought of his high righteousness and wanted to serve as a staff member, but he still refused.
Afterwards, Tian Chou returned to Youzhou.
But before he arrived in Youzhou, Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan.
So Tian Chou rushed to Liu Yu's grave, handed over the imperial seal, and left crying. Gongsun Zan wanted to kill Tian Chou, but was persuaded that Tian Chou was a righteous man, and killing him would be ominous. So Gongsun Zan let Tian Chou go. After the queen,
Yuan Shao once tried to conquer Tianchou, but was rejected by Tianchou. After Yuan Shao died, Yuan Shang conquered Tianchou again, but still refused. In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao used troops against Youzhou and conquered the four western counties of Youzhou, and then conquered Tianchou as the prime minister.
However, Tian Chou rejected Cao Cao again because he had no merit and reputation and could not take up the post.
But it is undeniable that Cao Cao had to pay attention to Tian Chou's familiarity with Youzhou.
After being recommended again, Cao Cao ordered Tian Chou to be promoted to the highest ranking position, and Tian Chou came to take up the post...
The production of the endless sand table was left to Tian Chou.
"...The old Beiping County was governed in Pinggang. It went out of Lulong and reached Liucheng. However, it has been ruined and cut off for two hundred years since the founding of the military. But there is still a small path to follow. The prime minister is approaching with a large army.
There is no end, there is no way to advance and retreat, and you are lax and unprepared. If you return to the army, cross the danger of Baitan from Lulongkou, come out of an empty place, the road is short and convenient, cover up your unpreparedness, and the head of Tadun can be defeated without fighting."
After hearing about Cao Zhang's plan to draw fire from the cauldron, Tian Chou immediately gave a detailed statement.
After making the sand table, he proposed a plan to attack Liucheng by surprise.
The so-called micropath is actually a small road. What Tian Chou means is that in the past, the seat of the old Beiping County was in Pinggang. As long as you leave Lulongsai, you can reach Liucheng. However, since the Jianwu Year, this road has collapsed
Bad. There is just a small road that can be passed, but the distance is not easy. If you take this small road, you can attack Liucheng, catching Tadun Yuan Xi by surprise, and then succeed.
Cao Cao readily accepted.
Guo Jia was also in favor of Tian Chou's plan.
Cao Zhang was a little unhappy, because this plan to draw out the firewood was obviously his contribution, but Tian Chou's words took away all the light.
Cao Cao decided to conquer Liucheng himself, but the generals tried to persuade him.
Ever since, they have been arguing endlessly these past few days.
"Ziwen, sir, you have replied."
After dismounting at the gate of the small camp, Cao Zhang was about to enter when he saw Niu Gang stepping forward and telling him in a low voice.
"Did you reply, sir?"
Cao Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this.
Although he was in Youzhou, far away from Nanyang, Cao Zhang had always maintained correspondence with Cao Peng.
He also sent someone to inform Cao Peng about Tian Chou's surrender. He also told Cao Peng about the plan to remove the firepower and asked Cao Peng for his opinion...
From Youzhou to Nanyang, it is more than a thousand miles.
However, Cao Zhang ordered someone to rush six hundred miles to Nanyang, and the round trip only took fifteen days.
"Where is the letter?"
Niu Gang quickly took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Cao Zhang.
Without saying a word, Cao Zhang tore off the paint seal and read the letter as he walked.
However, when he walked to the door of the military tent, he suddenly stopped. His brows were knitted together, showing a strange look.
"Ziwen, what's wrong?"
Cao Zhang looked both ways and suddenly said: "Dianfu, you stay outside and don't allow anyone to come near."
"Here!"
"Old Niu, come with me."
Cao Zhang sat down in the military tent and then motioned to Niu Gang to do whatever he wanted.
"Sir, I want to get rid of Tian Zitai."
As soon as Niu heard this, he squirted out a mouthful of water. He looked at Cao Zhang in astonishment and couldn't react for a long time.
"See for yourself."
Cao Zhang handed the letter to Niu Gang.
Niu Gang quickly took it, unfolded the letter, and read it carefully in the light of the military tent.
The content of the letter is divided into three parts: In the first part, Cao Peng told Cao Zhang not to argue with Tian Chou! In fact, Cao Cao did not care about this plan to draw out the firewood, it was just coming from your mouth. So, no need to
I'm worried that Tian Chou will steal the limelight from you, Cao Ziwen. No one can steal this limelight. It should be your Cao Ziwen's credit, and no one can erase it.
The second part is to ask Cao Zhang to accompany Cao Cao on the expedition as much as possible.
Cao Peng recommended Zhang Liao and said that if Cao Cao were to conquer Liucheng himself, he would definitely not have many troops. Among the generals, the most suitable candidates are Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. Cao Zhang should not be afraid of danger and just follow him. He must protect Cao Cao's
Safety... At the same time, Cao Peng asked about Guo Jia's physical condition.
So far, Guo Jia is in good health and has not suffered from serious illness due to acclimatization as in history...
However, you still have to be careful.
If Guo Jia wants to accompany the army, he must bring Dong Xiao with him so that he can receive timely treatment.
Cao Zhang didn't take these two points seriously.
The most important thing is the third part.
"Tian Zitai should not accept the orders of Yuan Shao and his son, because he is unrighteous.
However, when Tan Ni was beheaded, it was already known that he was a thief, so Hu Weifu hung his head and offered sacrifices to him? If he was killed, the meaning lies in it. This is a way of fishing for fame and reputation. If he advances or retreats inappropriately, with the same appearance and different intentions, does he think he is a thief?
I want to kill this beast, and I hope Ziwen can help me. Soon there will be a righteous man who will help me. Ziwen only needs help to cover his body, so I would be very grateful. If Ziwen is in trouble, you can ignore it. But please don’t let others know..."
I think that when Yuan Shao and his son conquered Tianchou, Tianchou refused because he knew that Yuan Shao and his son had an unfair reputation and their words were not up to par... But after Yuan Tan's death, he and Wang Xiu cried bitterly for Yuan Tan. You clearly know that Yuan Tan
Tan Nai is a thief, and you still have to cry for him. If you should have been exempted from Tianchou in the first place, you can still explain the friendship between master and slave. But you obviously have nothing to do with the Yuan family, but you pretend to cry and sacrifice the Yuan family and his son. This is not just to gain fame.
, what is it? This is not an act of advancing or retreating in an inappropriate manner, but it is that he has the same appearance as Cao Cao.
You guy, you come here with ambition!
These words are quite serious.
In fact, Tian Chou in history was called a model by many people and was praised by Cao Cao.
However, Zhong Yao and Pei Songzhi, who later commented on the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, believed that Tian Chou was not as perfect as Cao Cao praised him.
Cao Peng wants to kill Tian Chou!
reason?
Cao Zhang is not particularly clear.
But Cao Peng made it very clear, I don’t need you to take action, I will send someone over. Then you just need to help me hide his identity. If you are not willing to help me, then forget it. I will try it myself.
Kill Tian Chou. But please don't get involved.
Cao Peng's attitude was very firm: Whether you want it or not, I will kill Tian Chou!
This gave Cao Zhang a headache.
"Lao Niu, could it be that Tian Zitai provoked Mr.?"
Niu Gang scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "How can I guess the intention of sir? But, since sir said that, there must be a reason for him.
Tian Zitai is dead!"
Cao Zhang bit his lip and remained silent.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "I don't like Tian Zitai either."
"Haha, then it depends on your decision, Ziwen."
"I don't like Tian Zitai, and he has offended Mr.... This person must have a way to die. He must die."
"Exactly."
"These two ***, help me keep an eye on it. If someone comes to see me, you can take him directly into the camp and give him an identity."
"I see."
Cao Zhang took a deep breath, took the letter from Niu Gang, walked to the oil lamp, put the letter on the fire, and lit it instantly.
"I, don't know what happened."
"I don't know either."
After the two said this, they looked at each other, smiled, and nodded in unison.
Cao Peng wants to kill Tian Chou, and Cao Zhang doesn't like him. Then Tian Chou's life will definitely be difficult to protect...
As for the reason?
Cao Zhang would not ask Cao Peng.
If Cao Peng could tell him, he would naturally explain it in the letter; but if he couldn't, then even asking would be of no use. Cao Zhang was very happy! Not because of anything else, but because of Cao Peng's trust in him. In the past, he always wanted to
He helped Cao Peng, but it was still useless. Now, he can finally help Cao Peng... As for Tian Chou, what does it have to do with him, Cao Ziwen?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Why do you want to kill Tian Zitai?"
Zhongyang Town, the back residence of Cao Mansion.
Xia Houzhen sat aside, turning the wheel of the loom, and asked curiously.
Cao Peng smiled and did not answer.
Why did he kill Tian Chou?
The reason... wasn't because Tian Chou had offended him, nor was it because Tian Chou had a problem with him. The reason why he killed Tian Chou was because Tian Chou's son ruined Deng Ai's life in history. Those who framed Deng Ai in history
The murderer of Zhonghui will probably not show up today, and Wei Guan, because of the relationship between Cao Peng and his father, is unlikely to be provoked. The remaining Hu Lieshi compiler and Tian Xu are the three, and Tian Xu is the son of Tian Chou.
Cao Peng felt that instead of leaving a scourge behind, it would be better to take a step early and eliminate the root cause.
If Xia Houzhen asked him the reason, he would naturally not tell him.
Instead, he picked up a pile of newspapers next to him, glanced at them twice, and asked softly: "Xiao Zhen, have all these newspapers been distributed?"
