The peace treaty seemed very humiliating to Sun Ce, but in the eyes of others within Jiangdong, it was still acceptable. Many people even believed that accepting it would be better than not accepting it. The content of the treaty was very simple, but it was
Let Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others go to India, let Chen Cheng and Sun Shangxiang's son Sun Wu take over the position of Yangzhou Mu, and return the Sun family's navy to the imperial court.
The original main navy fleet will be divided into two, namely the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet. Among them, the Beiyang Fleet will be based at ports such as Lushun, Qingdao, and Shanghai; the Nanyang Fleet will be based at ports such as Guangzhou, Taipei, and Java.
The Sun family's fleet, sailors, ports, overseas colonies and other places will be merged into the Nanyang Fleet.
"Damn it! That man is Chen Cheng's son, and his surname is not Sun at all!"
Sun Ce was much older and his temper was a little better, but after seeing the contract sent by Chen Cheng, he was still furious. He said angrily: "Bastard Chen Cheng, you changed your son's surname and you want to take over me."
The foundation of the Sun family!"
But everyone else welcomes Sun Wu to become Yangzhou Shepherd. No matter what, he is Sun Shangxiang's son after all, and the blood of the Sun family flows through him. If he can win, then Sun Wu will definitely be regarded as an outsider. But now
After losing the battle, and losing miserably, Sun Wu was immediately regarded as one of their own.
Sun Ce still wanted to continue to resist, but the people below him had lost their hearts, so he could only sigh, and then led tens of thousands of people to flee to India. Sun Quan had just suffered a huge defeat in India, and the soldiers under his command were very frightened.
At that moment, Sun Ce suddenly ran over with the remaining defeated generals.
To say that the remaining troops are defeated is relative to the imperial army. The princes in India are still in the era of mixing cold weapons and hot weapons, and the Jiangdong Army is the same. However, Sun Ce's army has a large number of matchlock guns.
and infantry cannons, these were all produced in the imperial arsenal, and each one was marked with a mark that could be traced back to the workshop where it was produced.
If a large-scale quality problem occurs, it can be traced to each manufacturer. Because of the large-scale use of various machinery, the weapons produced by the imperial court have always been synonymous with excellence. When Sun Ce arrived in eastern India
After that, he quickly seized military power and led the Sun family's army to block the surging Cao army.
Before, near Guangzhou, Sun Jiajun's head was bruised and bloody in front of a bastion made of sandbags. This time Sun Ce came up with a "copycat" and also placed more than a dozen simple bastions on the main traffic roads. Cao Cao
Although he is a famous general in hundreds of battles, he bullied the natives in India or beat losers like Sun Quan too many times. He did not keep up with the times and still used phalanxes to fight. Then he was beaten with bruises all over his head by Sun Ce.
.
After only one day of fighting, Cao Cao's army suffered more than 3,000 casualties. The casualties were too great. Cao Cao could only order the soldiers to stop the attack, and then led his soldiers to check Sun Ce's army's position. Cao Mengde was now six years old.
He was in his early teens, his beard and hair were quite gray, and his complexion looked very bad, as if he was about to die at any moment.
He observed carefully for a while, and then realized that in front of such a defensive position, victory would only be possible unless there were more and stronger artillery, and at least three times the strength of the troops. Even if it was a battle,
If they come down, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Today, there are more than a dozen forces, large and small, on the Indian continent. Although the armies of various princes are mixed with a lot of local indigenous people, the fighting power of the locals is really terrible. The only ones who can really fight are the Chinese.
It consists of a small number of elites. The princes in the north have their backs to the Governor of the Western Regions and are equipped with many muskets and cannons. They can also continuously receive population replenishment from China. If too many troops are lost, those people will pounce on them and bite them.
of.
Now Cao Cao knew that the coach of the opponent had been changed from Sun Quan to Sun Ce, so he sighed and said: "It's really hard for a lion to compete with him! If Sun Zhongmou is the only one worthy of me as his son!"
Later, Cao Cao sent an envoy to make peace with Sun Ce and returned the captured Sun generals. Cao Cao's army was still strong and had thousands of cavalry. On the other hand, the Sun family only had 300 horses. In this area
On the mainland, the number of Chinese people is already small, and fighting each other will only allow the natives to take advantage.
The Indian subcontinent is big enough for these people to digest for dozens or hundreds of years. Originally, Cao Cao thought that after unifying this continent, he would lead his troops back to Luoyang, but this battle made him realize that this wish was
It can never be realized.
On the way to withdraw his troops, Cao Cao developed a high fever. After reluctantly returning to his home base, he fell into a coma. When he woke up, he immediately ordered people to call Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Xiahou Dun and others over and gave them instructions.
Posthumous affairs.
Cao Cao grabbed Cao Ang's hand and said with a serious face: "I have three major regrets in my life. First, I was defeated at the hands of Chen Wenzheng several times, so I had to live in this wilderness; second, Liu Bei blocked the way in Xuzhou.
After I arrived here for a long time, I blocked the way for our army to go north. Third, during the Eastern Expedition, we encountered Sun Ce and lost his troops but gained nothing.
These three things are all things I hate in my life. Now I give you three arrows. You must keep these things in mind and never forget them!"
Cao Ang said with tears: "Father, please rest assured, the child will never forget such a deep hatred. When we have enough troops, we will defeat Sun Ce first, and then go north to fight Liu Bei's army to the death! When the Indian princes are destroyed, they will definitely fight back.
Go to China!”
Cao Cao smiled palely and praised: "Good son, you are ambitious!"
But then he reprimanded: "Nonsense! Whether it's defeating Sun Ce or fighting to the death with Liu Bei, these things are not allowed to be mentioned again in the future! I gave you these three arrows not to ask you to take revenge, but to let you know
, Even I can’t deal with them, so you don’t have to think about it. Just save the foundation of our Cao family and stop thinking about unifying the world!"
"ah?"
Cao Ang was immediately stunned. His father had been conquering various territories over the years and conquered a large territory. All he wanted to do was return to his hometown. Why did he suddenly change his mind before he died? Could he be talking nonsense?
Seeing the expression on Cao Ang's face, Cao Cao didn't understand what his son was thinking. He smiled bitterly and said: "After so many years of fighting, all the dead are Chinese. If we continue to kill each other like this, I'm afraid the locals will
Those people are about to rise up and rebel. Their population is a hundred times that of ours, so we should let our countrymen cultivate their health and have more children."
Now Cao Ang understood, and he said with tears: "My father's words, the child must keep them in his heart and never dare to forget them."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "I usually dislike you for being too weak, but now I feel that you have just the right temperament. Although it is not enough to develop, it is more than enough to maintain success! Remember to take more care of your younger brothers. Only family members of the clan are the ones.
The most reliable thing is that military power must be controlled by your own people and cannot be controlled by others!"
"yes!"
Cao Cao talked a lot, but finally couldn't talk any more. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go out. I'm tired."
Everyone exited the room, and after a while, the widow's cry came from the room, "The general has passed away!"
Outside the door, tears flowed down Cao Ang's face again. Xiahou Dun said: "Now is not the time to be sad. Sir, please summon the civil and military ministers immediately to clarify the distinction between master and subordinate. This is the greatest filial piety! Just crying here, and
How can I satisfy my lord?"
Cao Ang wiped away his tears and said with choked sobs: "What my uncle taught me is that I am just confused now, so I asked my uncle to help me deal with the matter."
Xiahou Dun then sent an order to arrange the mourning hall, and asked the civil servants and generals to come to Cao Cao's funeral. He said in public: "My lord, he was not halfway through his business, but he died in the middle. Before his death, he ordered his eldest son Cao Ang to succeed him as general, but you can't come forward."
Paying homage?"
He took the lead and knelt down. Most of the civil and military ministers had already regarded Cao Ang as Cao Cao's heir. Now they also knelt down and said in unison: "See you, my lord!"
Cao Ang said: "Everyone, hurry up and clear up. You are all my father's ministers. I will need your assistance in the future so that I can take the position of general."
He spoke very sincerely and explained Cao Cao's previous explanations to all the ministers one by one, which quickly stabilized people's hearts. The strategic goal of the Cao Group was also changed from external expansion to self-cultivation. News of Cao Cao's death soon came
The news spread to the north. When Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao was dead, he raised the whip in his hand and said with emotion: "Cao Mengde is dead, so who else can be my opponent? I should immediately mobilize my troops and go to attack Xinluo!"
The so-called Xinluo means New Luoyang, which is the political and military center of Cao Jun in the south.
Liu Bei immediately sent people to call Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals to discuss sending troops together. Guan Yu was recognized as a master of city defense. When he was in Xuzhou, he was often surrounded and beaten by Cao Cao in the city, more than once or twice.
After arriving in India, as soon as he started to develop, he encountered Cao Cao's fake corpse. After a melee between the two sides, Guan Yu was besieged in the city again.
Although the weapons were changed from spears, bows and arrows to muskets and cannons, Guan Yu's ability to defend the city still did not deteriorate in any way. Facing Cao Jun's crazy attack, he calmly ordered his soldiers to fire, using solid bullets and shotguns to smash Cao Jun's offensive.
.With the new weapons, the defenders are really taking advantage. As long as they have enough ammunition and food, they can keep defending!
Later, Liu Bei's army launched a counterattack against Cao's army, but also suffered a bloody blow in front of the fortified city. Since then, Guan Yu's tactical concept of "casting a fortified city and using cannons" has been strengthened. Now all the forces on the Indian continent
The princes are all in this way. Even a mighty one like Cao Mengde has no choice in the face of fortified city artillery. He can only rely on a long-term siege to force the opponent to surrender.
Now that Cao Cao is finally dead again, it's time to take down Xinluo while Cao Cao's soldiers are panicking!
