Cao Dabailian was discussing with Xun You how to rectify the attitude of officials in Yizhou who did not want to make progress and just muddle along.
Yizhou's singing and dancing have flourished for a long time. To be honest, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the world, and Yizhou was least affected.
In addition to being blocked by mountains and rivers, it is also related to the abundant fish and rice in the granaries in central Sichuan, so the people can still barely survive.
The Han people are the most docile. As long as they have food to eat, who is willing to abandon their homes, careers, wives and children to rebel?
Therefore, when Cao Dabailian led his army to capture Yizhou by force and deception, he was quite incompatible with the local officials in Yizhou.
If these people from Yizhou were officials in the Central Plains, their heads might have been chopped off ten years ago, and they would have died without a burial place.
Even the official documents signed by Cao Dabailian were dared to be taken by the subordinate Cao officials and waited for the next day to be sent to various places. The reason was that he had not had a good rest at noon, so he had to go home early to rest, and the official work could only be done
Let’s talk about it the next day.
According to Cao Dabai's previous temper, even if this official died, he would have to be chopped into pieces and fed to dogs.
But now in Xinding, Yizhou, Cao Dabailian could only hold back his anger, call Cao Guan in and give him a scolding to end the matter.
It's not that people can't be killed, but they have to be killed to the bone. Killing indiscriminately will only make the local officials in Yizhou and the officials in Cao Ying more antagonistic.
While discussing with Xun You how to quickly and safely turn around the turmoil in Yizhou's officialdom, a bodyguard suddenly broke in to report.
"I'm reporting to the Prime Minister that something bad is going on. Under the banner of Lin Jun, a group of troops is quickly attacking Chengdu City. The strength of the troops has not yet been clearly investigated."
Cao Dabailian and Xun You stood up at the same time.
"What? This is impossible. Neither Shangyong nor Jiange has sent back any news of the emergency of the war. How could Lin's army reach the gates of Chengdu?"
The personal guard also had a confused look on his face. This situation was not something he came back from after inquiring. He could only raise the emergency report above his head with both hands and hand it to Cao Dabai's face.
Cao Dabai grabbed the information, scanned it up and down quickly, and handed it to Xun You, who then turned around and ran to the map of Yizhou hanging on the wall.
According to the intelligence signs, this unknown Lin army has crossed Luo County and is about to arrive near the new capital city.
The distance between Xindu and Chengdu is only more than 70 miles. If the enemy troops are all horse troops, they can reach the gates of Chengdu in more than half an hour.
The city of Chengdu is now extremely empty. Most of the elite troops of Cao Jun and Shu Jun have been deployed on the front line of Jiange, ready to attack Hanzhong at any time, or to meet Xia Houyuan's troops who have retreated from Shangyong City.
The closest army to Chengdu was not the direct descendant of Cao Dabailian, but the Shu general Wu Ban who was stationed in Wuyang City.
The reason why Cao Dabailian could tolerate Wu Ban leading his army to be stationed in Wuyang City, less than a hundred miles south of Chengdu, was because Wu Ban's identity was quite peculiar.
Wu Ban is the cousin of Wu Yi, the general in Shu, and the son of Liu Yan.
Brother-in-law of Liu Zhang.
The Wu family was originally a famous family in Chenliu. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept through Yanzhou, Wu Kuang, Wu Yi's uncle and Wu Ban's father, was the head of the Wu family at the time. Wu Kuang had a close personal relationship with Liu Yan. In order to avoid trouble, he
Lead the entire clan to Shu.
Later, because Wu Yi's sister Wu was as beautiful as a flower, she was married by Liu Zhang, which made the power of the Wu family even more prominent in Shu.
Before Cao Dabai came to Shu, the Wu family could be regarded as relatives of the emperor in Shu.
Therefore, while Liu Yan and his son were staying in Chengdu City, Cao Cao had no choice but to agree that Wu Ban would lead a Shu army to be stationed in Wuyang City to defend Chengdu.
Except for the Wu Ban tribe in Wuyang City, there were less than 15,000 troops stationed in Chengdu, led by Cao Chun, a member of the Cao clan.
While Xun You was still studying the emergency military situation carefully, Cao Dabailian had already ordered people to summon Cao Chun to discuss the matter.
Xun You read the military emergency report three times in a row, and then quickly came to Cao Cao's side.
"Prime Minister, the enemy's appearance was too sudden. Only Luo County sent an emergency report, while Fanxian, Shifang and Mianzhu further north did not issue an alarm. Therefore, there are only two possible situations. One is the enemy's
It was just a very small group of troops, less than 3,000 in number, who broke into pieces and sneaked into the vicinity from Yizhou to Luoxian County, and then hurriedly formed an army formation to attack Chengdu. If so, the matter is insignificant, and a few weak soldiers can turn over.
It can be destroyed. The second scenario is unlikely, that is, without our army knowing it, Lin Feng suddenly gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, took down Shangyong at all costs, and borrowed our troops in Shangyong City
The surrendering army pretended to open the sword pavilion and has already completely entered the hinterland of Yizhou."
Cao Cao stood in front of the battle map and looked at it repeatedly. After a long time, he suddenly slapped the map with his hand.
"Gongda, come and see, did we overlook something?"
Xun You looked in the direction of Cao Cao's finger and suddenly trembled all over.
He shouted in a trembling voice: "Yinping, Yinping Road! Lin Jun sneak attacked Yinping Road."
Yes, Xun You actually didn't believe the two situations he just analyzed. Both situations were too extreme and unlikely to actually occur.
But if Lin's army really attacks Guanghan from Wudu County, then it can pass through Shiwanda Mountain along the Yinping Road and directly to the foot of Mianzhu City along the Jinggu Road.
Mianzhu is only more than two hundred miles away from Jiange and only more than three hundred miles away from Chengdu. If Mianzhu really falls into the hands of Lin Jun, Chengdu will be in danger, Yizhou will be in danger, and the entire Cao Jun camp will be in danger as well.
"Prime Minister, let's not mention whether Lin Jun may have noticed the loophole in Yinping. Is it possible for Lin Jun to infiltrate on a large scale in the Shiwanshan Mountains between Yinping and Mianzhu?"
Cao Cao kept shaking his head: "It is impossible for others, but Lin Zhirou is different. He is different from anyone else. The reason why he can dominate the world without losing is not because of his superb martial arts, but because of his unique insight.
, I have carefully studied all the battles he has commanded. In every battle, he can seize almost the only chance of victory. I have put myself in his shoes and thought about it. In this battle,
In this regard, I am not as good as him, and far behind."
Xun You looked at Cao Cao in disbelief, almost unable to believe his ears.
Cao Mengde was such a conceited person. In his magnificent first half of life, he had never respected anyone so much.
The words coming out of Cao Cao's mouth not only represent Cao Cao's admiration for Lin Feng, but also represent Cao Cao personally admitting defeat.
Xun You suspected that there was an error in his judgment. How could Cao Cao openly admit defeat?
But when he saw Cao Cao's face full of wry smile, he suddenly couldn't hold back the tears.
Because in this short period of ten minutes, Cao Cao's originally shiny black hair had turned gray, and his rosy face had layers of gray and was covered with countless wrinkles.
Cao Cao is old.
After guessing that Lin Feng took the risk to sneak attack Mianzhu City from Yinping, he suddenly felt old.
Once Mianzhu is lost, Chengdu will not be protected. Moreover, Cao Cao got the news a little late. Lin Jun had already broken through Luo County, and he had just gotten the news.
I can't even run away now.
Unless Cao Cao gave up everything and fled elsewhere alone with his bodyguard, he might still be able to save a small life.
But Liu Bian and Liu Yan's father and son who stayed in Chengdu fell into Lin Feng's hands, so what did Cao Mengde have left?
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Jiange, those are completely useless.
Without Liu Bian, there would be no Dayi; without Liu Yan and his son, there would be no Yizhou.
When Cao Cao could no longer gain a foothold in the territory of the Han Dynasty, what could he do?
Escape to the outside world?
Even if all the generals and advisors are willing to follow, will hundreds of thousands of soldiers be willing to do so?
He took only a few thousand personal guards and hid in the deep mountains and forests, never seeing the light of day all year round. Is this the life Cao Mengde wanted to live?
No!
Lin Feng once said a joke back then: admit when you are wrong, and stand upright when you are beaten.
Now Cao Cao has indeed lost. He lost to the unparalleled hero Lin Feng and Lin Zhirou.
Since you lose, you must have a losing attitude.
Come on, Lin Feng!
Let's see how long it takes you to break through the gate of Chengdu.
The last glimmer of hope is that as long as they can hold on for three days, the nearly 200,000 troops from Jiange will be able to return to Chengdu. By then, not only will Chengdu be safe, but even the tens of thousands of horses that Lin Jun risked and killed will no longer be able to escape.
He could only stay under the walls of Chengdu and die.
When he heard Cao Chun shouting outside the door to sign up to enter, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head.
Even if the tiger king in the forest is at the end of his life, his teeth will be broken and his claws will be broken, and he will not rest until he dies!
"Zihe, carry your sword and prepare your horse for me, gather the soldiers in the city, I will fight alongside you today!"
