Chapter 240 A mouthful of blood

Yang Xiu’s idea is very simple.

Yunshan and Chang Diao are recognized as rising stars among the Cao army. Both of them are from the grassroots and have no background and are completely based on the attacks.

Needless to say, Yunshan gathered a large army and could already be called a prince.

Although Chang Diao was alone on the surface, he actually had countless soldiers behind his back.

But these two people are not easy to win over and use, so it would be better to give them a very high status and let them go to Liangzhou to fight far away from the center of power.

The Qiang-Han War has lasted for a hundred years. If Yunshan and Chang Diao went to Liangzhou, they might not be able to return to the Central Plains during their lifetime.

Yang Xiu took the opportunity to gradually expand his influence in school. If he could do it like a regular deed, Cao Cao would not be able to easily grasp him.

Jia Xu could see Yang Xiu’s thoughts at a glance. Cao Cao was not stupid either, but he was too lazy to expose it directly in person. He simply turned to Chang Diao again and smiled kindly:

"What do you think in the Giant Eagle?"

Attack Liangzhou...

Although Chang Diao’s cultural level is not high, he still knows what the hell is Liangzhou.

When Beigong Boyu rebelled, he easily swept Liangzhou and threatened Sanfu. The court once had the idea of ​​throwing Liangzhou.

Wouldn't you go to Ma Chao's lair directly after going to such a ghost place? It would be strange if you don't get beaten to death by random punches.

He couldn't help but tremble, but he had to force out a kind smile:

"Of course, of course I will listen to the Prime Minister's order.

But, I thought I still had to listen to General Yun’s opinion!

If General Yun is willing to wipe out Liangzhou, Chang Diao will try his best to win this life and will help General Yun to wipe out Liangzhou!"

Listen to you, what I said was to help General Yun wipe out Liangzhou.

Chang Diao didn't know Yunshan's true identity. He thought about it and thought that Guan Ping's goal was to overthrow Cao's army, so he wouldn't have had nothing to do to fight the Qiang people before the Cao army was destroyed.

As the commander-in-chief of the Cao army, Guan Ping must be afraid of me for passing on information. If he really fights, he will not give me any power.

If Guan Ping overthrew Prime Minister Cao in the future and wrote a letter of advice to Liu Bei as my identity, he would have been able to make a single official and half a job in this life.

If Guan Ping never defeated Prime Minister Cao in the future, then I would have a chance to escape in the future, just like Su Wu back then.

Thinking about it this way, it's not a loss.

"Okay." Cao Cao couldn't help but smile after hearing Chang Diao's answer.

Chang Diao is a man. Although he is a little vulgar, his layout is quite good and he is willing to be a green leaf.

With the two pillars and stones often carved in Yunshan, Cao Cao finally felt relieved.

"Tanzhi's giant eagle is loyal, brave and decisive, and it is a great blessing for the court. When I went to Chang'an to see Tanzhi, I was lonely..."

Cao Cao also wanted to show off his literary talent, but as smoke and dust spread in the distance, a fast horse ran towards him quickly. His temple immediately jumped a few times, and a sense of ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Not only did he, Cao's generals, had a sense of ominous premonition in their hearts. Looking at the knights who were running from afar, they slowly clenched their fists.

"Report! Report! Report!"

The knight rushed into Cao Cao's military camp, skillfully got off the horse, rushed to Cao Cao under the leadership of the guard, and quickly bowed to the ground, then clenched his fist with his left hand and placed his right palm on his left fist. This was clearly a gesture of reporting the demise!

"What happened?" Cao Cao was shocked.

The knight gasped and said anxiously:

"Such rebels have caused rebellion. General Xiahou, the chief of the king, led his troops to suppress the rebellion, killed the mastermind, and wiped out the remnants.

But, but Wang Changshi was shot by an arrow and actually died... he had already gone!"

"Which king is the chief minister?"

Cao Cao's face turned pale, and even his lips gradually lost their blood.

He could almost hear the bloody sound on his body. His head, which had not been making a long time, suddenly made a roar, which made him almost unsteadily stand.

"I'm asking you what you mean! Which King Changshi is it? Which King Changshi is it!"

Actually, this question does not need to be answered at all.

Cao Cao had few senior officials, only one with the surname Wang.

"Yes, the king must be the king's chief historian..."

Cao Cao's figure seemed to suddenly freeze in the wind. He was stunned and turned his gaze to Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan beside him. Seeing that they were both shocked, he believed that he had heard it correctly.

"Wending...Wending is gone?

It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible. When I'm leaving...ah..."

Cao Cao suddenly spit out a mouthful of purple blood and sat on the ground with a bang!

.

Han Sui originally thought that after he stabilized the situation in Chang'an, he could meet with Ma Chao by the Wei River and then face Cao Cao who was preparing to cross the river together.

But unexpectedly, when he arrived, the front line had already advanced to the Wei River.

Cao Cao's occupation of north of the Wei River was equivalent to opening the gate of Guanzhong. The combat potential of the Guanzhong rebels was definitely not as good as that of the Cao army that could continuously support from the Central Plains. Han Sui was already at a disadvantage.

What's even more terrible is that Ma Chao fell ill at this time.

Han Sui struggled to block Cao Cao's army trying to cross the river, and kept racking his brains to mobilize his troops and fought many battles with Xu Huang and Zhang He's vanguard army.

But Ma Chao's reinforcements were unable to arrive for a long time. Han Sui, who had been severely weakened under Chang'an City, was unable to hear the sound of his own hands and was forced to continuously reduce the number of soldiers besieged in Chang'an, which barely ensured that the Weishui defense line was not broken.

This style of fighting aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the rebels. They all condemned Ma Chao, and Han Sui's soldiers also used all the injustice that Ma Chao had used to Han Sui to speak out about the previous injustice.

In short, we would have pushed all the charges on Ma Chao and simply surrendered to the court.

Han Sui hesitated for a long time but still didn't dare to feel relieved.

This time he launched a large army to rebel. Unless he was willing to run to Xudu, he would not let him go even if he surrendered to Cao Cao.

He was old and didn't want to bow to Cao Cao anymore. He always hoped that if he persisted, a miracle would happen.

But not all waiting has a good result.

A few days later, Ma Chao retreated his troops in shame and met Han Sui. Han Sui was surprised to find that the army of Ma Chao, which once had nearly 30,000 people, now has less than 20,000, and his morale is low and everyone is injured. It is obviously because it has suffered a major blow in the previous battle.

Yang Qiu, who was behind the palace, rushed back soon. Under the fierce attack of Cao Cao personally led the army, Yang Qiu had to give up Tongguan in order to preserve his strength, and Li Kan, who had a smaller force, ran away early.

Now that the Guanzhong portal is open, the Cao army is unobstructed, the Guanzhong Allied Forces have almost failed this time.

"What's going on?" Han Sui murmured, his aging face full of pain.

Although Han Sui did not publicly accuse him, Ma Chao still felt the hostility of the generals.

At the beginning of the rebellion, the generals looked at Ma Chao with awe, and they all believed that Ma Chao could lead everyone to create a world, at least to promote peace and make Cao Cao seal the entire Guanzhong to them.

But the result now...

Not only did they not grow their power, but they became weaker and weaker. More than half of the warlords like Han Sui and Ma Chao suffered casualties, and other small warlords also quickly declined. It was almost impossible to ensure their previous status.

"General Ma's father was an official in the court and had to consider it for the court.

But we thieves are suffering!"

Li Kan said sarcastically, implying that Ma Chao and Cao Cao were actually in the same group. He took Cao Cao's benefits and helped Cao Cao weaken these Guanzhong warlords together.

Of course, this was deliberately provoking trouble. Li Kan regretted it after saying it, for fear that Ma Chao would jump up and fight him one-on-one in a furious manner.

But unexpectedly, Ma Chao just snorted, his face full of dusk. Only he himself knew the great blow to him if he lost this battle.

The three armies can seize the commander and not the will of a man.

Seeing that Ma Chao's sharpness had all faded into this, Han Sui couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He sighed and shook his head in pain, "Everyone said what will happen in the future? Should I continue fighting with Cao Gong, or... or should I follow us to retreat to Liangzhou?"

Liangzhou is really high and the emperor is far away.

No matter how hard Cao Cao can fight, he has to consider whether the logistics can keep up. Han Sui has always had a good relationship with the Qiang people there over the years and fled to their tribe. Unless Cao Cao has the ability to completely eliminate these Qiang people who have fought fiercely with the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, it will be really difficult to catch Han Sui.

But in addition to Han Sui and Ma Chao, there are many people who are making a living in Guanzhong. If they go to Liangzhou, they will be directly annexed by Han Sui.

Li Kan's words just now gave everyone a lot of inspiration. Ma Teng and Cao Cao were familiar with him, and Han Sui was familiar with him.

Could it be that he had agreed with the court to wipe out the people in Guanzhong first, and then retreat to Liangzhou to become the local emperor?

"How can you admit defeat easily? It's better to fight Cao Cao to the end!" The generals in Guanzhong expressed their opinions. When Han Sui saw their eyes dodging, he felt a little sad.
