Chapter 257 Go to Xudu
Xiahouba's heart was pounding.
Although Yunshan is much younger than him, the powerful majesty and extraordinary qualities shown by Yunshan make Xiahou Ba feel that this person is an insurmountable wall in front of him.
Under the traditional model of Cao's use of clans to control the army, Xiahou Ba should assume the responsibility of the actual military and political leaders. However, because Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan did not make a decision to defend Guanzhong from the beginning, they now handed over the great responsibility to the foreign relative Yunshan.
As we all know, foreign relatives are very dangerous. If Yunshan has any inappropriate thoughts, Xiahou Ba has no ability to counter him for the time being.
This time, Cao Cao asked Yunshan to go to Xudu, which meant that Yunshan wanted to temporarily give up the army in his hands. His arrangements before leaving were quite critical. Xiahou Ba was so nervous that he was afraid that Yunshan would take him down with a loud shout, and then he called himself the governor of Yongzhou like Le Jin, and refused to leave here.
Yunshan's posture was quite gentle. He asked Xiahou Ba to sit down and said earnestly like an elder:
"I have also heard of these days. At that time, Ma Chao and Han Sui invaded. Chang'an was in an emergency, so General Zun Miaocai was unwilling to let us go deep into the Jedi, so he left Zhongquan to welcome us.
This battle was a complete victory and finally rescued the people from these bandits. Although outsiders did not know Zhongquan's contribution, I knew it very well.
I'll leave this time, it's time to return everything here to Zhongquan."
Xiahou Ba was stunned for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly:
"I dare not, I dare not, the general is the governor of Yongzhou and supervises the military affairs of Yongzhou. He is only a small soldier. His previous battles fell into Ma Chao's hands. It is entirely up to the general to escape and ascend to heaven.
Now that the war has stopped, the general is just returning to Xudu. If everything is left to me here, wouldn’t it seem like I want...I want to seize power while the general is not here..."
Xiahou Ba's words are really from the heart.
Although the Xiahou family is Cao Cao's hardcore, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's character are really nothing to say.
Xiahou Yuan also educated his son very well. In Xiahou Ba's understanding, respecting the virtuous and paying attention to repaying kindness is the most basic principle of being a person.
Before, he was accidentally captured by Ma Chao, and Yunshan spent a lot of effort to redeem him. This life-saving grace made him say that he was not willing to stumbling on Yunshan. Although Ding Fei had more or less hinted at him that they should join forces to slowly take away Yunshan's authority and ensure that the entire Yongzhou area was truly in the hands of Cao's army. At that time, Xiahou Ba was still a little moved, but Yunshan's sincere request to entrust the army to Xiahou Ba made Xiahou Ba quite entangled.
General Yun is so open and honest, I dare to remember his soldiers and horses. Such a villain's behavior is uncomfortable to think about...
He was a little confused for a moment, and Guan Ping said slowly:
"Although Chen Qun and Chen Changwen were not in harmony with me before, his talents and character were very outstanding. With this person in charge of the army, he could help Zhongquan solve many difficult problems.
Especially our current military priests read and read, and teach them to fight for the country and defend their territory, so that they can train an elite soldier.
I have heard that many years ago General Ling Zun Miaocai would rather starve his own flesh and blood to death in the year of a disaster than support his brother's daughter.
If you can treat Guanzhong soldiers like the Lord, treat them like relatives and friends, if Ma Chao and Han Sui attack again in the future, you can sit in the city and send Wen Pin Shen Dan to fight. The thieves who can kill them will flee in the panic no matter whether they fight in horses or in infantry."
"Among the opponents of the great Han Dynasty for four hundred years, there are many murderers who are as skilled as Ma Chao, who are skilled in riding and martial arts, but they all fell to the hands of the great Han Dynasty, and none of them are my great Han's opponents.
Why? It’s not that our Han army was afraid of death before, and everyone was willing to fight to defend their country.
If you can do this, I will be free of worries."
"General..."
Xiahou Ba was moved, his voice trembled slightly.
It was a year of great disaster, and even Xiahou Yuan's family fell into hunger. The food was limited and everyone only cared about themselves. How could they care about their brothers and sisters? Not to mention the woman who was not a labor force.
But in order for the brother's daughter to survive, Xiahou Yuan, like the food he should have given his youngest son one by one, his niece came back to life, but his youngest son unfortunately passed away due to hunger.
This incident has always been a regret in Xiahou Yuan's heart, and he was unwilling to speak out at all, but the niece he saved is now Zhang Fei's wife. Mrs. Xiahou had told her childhood stories more than once. This incident touched Guan Ping a huge touch and admired Xiahou Yuan's tragic and righteous acts very much.
When he talked about this, he admired him from the bottom of his heart. Xiahou Ba nodded repeatedly, sighing that General Yunshan was really his confidant.
"The general is just going to Xudu..."
“Hey, everyone must plan the worst.
I was just a rude man. At that time, under the recommendation of General Le, I joined the army. Because I was deeply cared for by the Prime Minister and General Le, I was lucky enough to take up my current position. I have no credit for it.
Now that the Prime Minister is in this way, if I continue to lead troops to hang in Yongliang, I will be attacked sooner or later. It would be better... Hey, take advantage of the fact that I still have some credit now and retreat early."
"As long as Zhongquan can train his soldiers well, respect famous scholars, and discuss with military commanders Chang more difficult things, then major events will be accomplished. Han Sui and Ma Chao are about to be destroyed. He will definitely be regarded as a famous general and celebrity in history. At that time, whether Yunshan is in Xudu or in the Huangquan, he will applaud Zhongquan for his qualities!"
"General..."
A layer of tears were covered in Xiahou Ba's eyes.
He didn't know that Yunshan used the method of retreating to advance when he encountered difficulties many times before, but instead gained greater benefits for himself.
Seeing that Yunshan spoke sincerely and was considering himself in everything, he felt even more depressed and blamed himself.
Such a kind-hearted and righteous man had the idea of plotting on him before. He was really damn and really felt ashamed of his father's teachings.
He bit his lip and said firmly:
"General, don't worry, I will definitely live up to the general's entrustedness.
When the general returns to Guanzhong, I will fight side by side with the general, fight against the bandits together, and recover Liangzhou!"
Kuai Yue on the side couldn't help but nodded slightly when he saw Xia Hou Ba's so well-being.
He had an ambush before. If Xiahou Ba refused to go to the road, Kuai Yue would definitely find a way to collude with Ma Chao's remaining troops and find a suitable opportunity to make Xiahou Ba suddenly die.
Now there is much less trouble. With the identity of Xiahou Ba, Kuai Yue can trap Ding Fei to death in Guanzhong with a little means.
Humph, a man wants to fight with us, but if he is too anxious, we will play Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse for you again.
.
When Chang Diao saw that Guan Ping was really going to Xudu, he was so scared that his face was pale and he hurried forward to stop him.
"You're crazy!" He secretly stepped forward in the farewell team while the crowd was unprepared and whispered, "General Guan, do you really treat yourself as Yunshan? When Xu no one recognizes you, Prime Minister Cao will recognize you! If he suddenly turns his back and takes you down, you can't kill you even if you have three heads and six arms!
Let me tell you the truth that Ding Fei has the most goals. Once you leave, he will definitely find a way to slowly invade your army.
You are fine. You originally wanted to plot against your army and need some means, but you directly handed over all your subordinates to Xiahou Ba. This is not...
Alas, what else can you do even if you can come back? You won’t restore the Han Dynasty?”
"Oh? Why does Military Advisor Chang care about us so much? I can't tell that Military Advisor Chang is still a pure minister of the Han Dynasty!"
"Of course I am a pure minister of the Han Dynasty." Chang Diao said with a frown, "I'm all for your own good, you have to think about it carefully!"
Chang Diao is not stupid. He knew that when Yunshan was in Guanzhong Ding Fei would win him over to deal with Yunshan. If Yunshan left and Ding Fei had no opponent, he would definitely find a way to deal with Chang Diao in order to achieve the idea of dominating Guanzhong.
In Cao Cao's plan for the future, Ding Fei definitely did not fight alone, and most of the officials sent to Guanzhong must have some connection with Ding Fei.
At that time, Ma Chao would have to fight the West General Chang Diao, who rushed to the front, and Chang Diao took the blame when taking the blame, but he would have to share the credit with them. Chang Diao would never be happy about this.
It is best, it is best that Yunshan can maintain the vassal model of neither rebelling nor obeying the court like Le Jin. In this way, Chang Diao, the general of Zhenxi, will have a higher status. At least Ding Fei and Xiahou Ba want to plot against Yunshan, they must rely on Chang Diao's status and identity.
Guan Ping was very helpless about this military commander Chang who had no talent but had reached a high position due to various chances. However, he always cared about himself and could only whisper:
"Don't worry, Military Commander Chang, I will return to Guanzhong sooner or later, and I will still be waiting to support the Han Dynasty with the Military Commander."
"Seriously?" Chang Diao then breathed a little relieved, "You have an insider in Xu? Oh, I know, it must be Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, right?"
Guan Ping laughed and said, "How do you know that Cao Pi is not my inner support?"
He was just a joke and was happy casually, but he didn't expect that Chang Diao nodded heavily:
“High, really high!”
.
Cao Cao's condition was no longer optimistic. Guan Ping kept moving towards Xu Du. Along the way, he kept inquiring about news about Cao Cao's many opponents.
There was Chang Diao, the former military advisor who commanded the school affairs, and the general of Zhenxi agreed that the information known to Cao's army was unilaterally transparent to Yunshan.
It is said that Sun Quan had presented Cao Cao with a letter of surrender, and promised that he would never dare to cause trouble again. Cao Cao nominally conquered Jiangdong.
In the Wancheng area, due to Cao Pi's departure, the thieves led by Huo Jun grew stronger again. It is said that a large number of bases have been opened up, and countless people have followed the thieves, which has caused a great headache for the court.
In Hanzhong, Zhang Lu had temporarily repelled the combination of Cao Zhi and Zhang Yun with sufficient preparations. Now his morale has increased greatly, which has caused Liu Zhang's fear.
At the suggestion of Zhang Songfazheng, a counselor under Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang decided to ask Liu Bei to join Shu to deal with Zhang Lu's threat.
Now that Cao Cao is dying, his main opponents have temporarily stopped attacking.
In Yunshan, we know that as long as the news of Cao Cao's death comes, the short tranquility of the world will be quickly broken.
For this, he needs greater power and status. This time he went to Xudu, he wanted to have a good talk with Cao Pi about the future.
If Cao Pi had any other thoughts, he wouldn't mind using Cao Zhi on his hand.
