Chapter 154 Ye City in the Twilight!(1/2)
?
Cao Chong's Liangzhou County grew and unified slowly between blood and fire, and Cao Chong's power territory became increasingly larger.
This is not something that Boss Cao gave to Cao Chong. This is Cao Chong's real power. It was supported by Cao Chong. They did not obey the orders of the Han court or the orders of Yecheng. They only obeyed Cao Chong's orders.
Liangzhou is indeed a bitter and cold place, but it is also a lawless place.
Although war is dangerous, it is full of opportunities and powerful opportunities.
A powerful person seizes powerful opportunities and gains more things, while a weak and cowardly person watches opportunities float past his eyes in vain.
Cao Chong is naturally not a coward. He took advantage of the opportunity to come to Liangzhou, a dangerous and bitter place, to strengthen himself silently, no matter what method he used.
Before Cao Chong came to Liangzhou, Cao Pi's aides were thinking about Cao Chong's death.
In their opinion, Cao Chong, a young man with tender skin, was thrown into Liangzhou, which was full of Qiang people and Qiang Hu people, and he must have even eaten up his bones in the end.
But Cao Chong was not dead. Not only did he be safe, but he also lived well.
And he had tens of thousands of powerful soldiers, which made millions of Liangzhou people surrender.
Cao Chong's ability was the first and most profound, which made Cao Pi feel dangerous in his heart, who was far away in Youzhou.
It was a sense of danger like a ray of light on his back.
Before this, Cao Pi believed that Cao Chong could beat him step by step in Yecheng and Xudu. It was not because of Cao Chong's ability, but because of Cao Cao's preference for his younger brother.
If it weren't for Boss Cao's preference, Cao Chong would not be his opponent at all. Not to mention that he was not his opponent, it was unknown whether Cao Chong could become a Marquis of Luoyang.
However, after staying in Youzhou for nearly two months, Cao Pi understood a lot.
My younger brother can beat me not only because of his father's preference for him, but more because of his own ability.
The situation in Youzhou is much better than that in Liangzhou, and it is much better than that in Bingzhou next door. In Youzhou, except for the Gongsun family, there are no other powerful enemies, such as foreigners, who are dormant under the power of the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family has long been defeated by generations of foreigners in Youzhou, and is afraid of being beaten.
When Cao Pi arrived in Youzhou, he only needed to bring down the Gongsun family.
It is certainly not easy to become a family that has been rooted in Youzhou for several generations and is the most powerful, barbaric and most fearless in death, but it is not that difficult.
Now the helm of the Gongsun Family's giant boat is just a candid.
If it were Gongsun Kang, he might be in the way, but Gongsun Gong is obviously not his opponent.
In fact, in the successive battles, except for the fact that the soldiers in Yecheng were a little uncomfortable in winter and made Cao Pi a little difficult, Cao Pi had never lost a single battle in the spring.
From Zhongshan Kingdom, to Fanyang County, from Fanyang County, then to Dai County, then from Dai County to Shanggu County, and then from Shanggu County to the endless mountains and finally arrived at Yuyang County.
If you go down again, there will be residual water. If you go down again, there will be the old Yan State. If you go down again, there will be Ji County.
The so-called Jixian is the capital of later generations, the capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The capital of Youzhou is Ji County, and as the lord of Youzhou, the Gongsun family is naturally in Ji County.
However, the next remnant water is not so easy to spend.
Cao Pi looked at the densely packed soldiers on the other side of the river and knew that Gongsun Gong had also made a harsh move.
Cao Pi knew that if he could not break through this remaining water and defeat the exponential enemy, he would not be able to reach Jixian, Jixian, and naturally he could not declare his rule over Youzhou, and naturally he could not make the Gongsun family surrender.
The enemy Cao Pi wants now is the army on the other side of the river.
The dense army, like locusts, was as thick as black armor, as if combined with the black clouds in the sky, making the sky and the earth confuse each other.
Among the troops in front of them were soldiers of the Gongsun family, but half of them were composed of aliens.
The Gongsun family cannot pull out an army of 100,000 people.
However, with the help of those aliens, the Gongsun family can easily do this.
For example, Goguryeo, a corner of Liaodong, has long been surrendering to the Gongsun family. Among these 100,000 people, 10,000 were Goguryeo's army.
For example, the eastern Xianbei in the north was always intimidated by the Gongsun family. Now, of these 100,000 people, 30,000 are the army of the eastern Xianbei.
As for the other 60,000, it was made up by the Gongsun family for selling their money.
Cao Pi looked at the troops with less than 50,000 people behind him, and his head hurt for a moment.
Originally, Cao Pi brought only 20,000 soldiers to Liangzhou, of which Cao Ren gave him 5,000 more, which is 25,000. In addition, the Gongsun family soldiers who he persuaded to surrender had reached the 50,000 people that he had finally accumulated.
Five thousand attacks one hundred thousand, and want to win this battle.
Not to mention soldiers, even Cao Pi himself felt a little incredible.
However, since his younger brother can deal with dozens of times his enemies with more than 10,000 people, there is no reason why he can't deal with only twice his enemies.
This battle is a battle that is destined to be able to win but not lose!
Thinking of this, a war song rang in Cao Pi's heart, and his whole body became full of fighting spirit.
No matter what is there on Yushui, 100,000 or 200,000 people, I will step over!
Victory will always belong to my Cao family and to me Cao Pi!
....................................................
Compared with the war-torn Liangzhou Youzhou, the peaceful Yecheng is full of spring vitality.
The spring rain is drizzling, the rain is filled with mist, and millions of silver threads are rippling in the air, just like a bead curtain, covering everything like smoke and clouds. The lively swallows are running around in the rain, wanting to cut the rain curtain with their scissor-like tails.
The continuous spring rain falls on the leaves of willow leaves, rustling like a girl gently caressing the strings of the piano, and devouring mulberry leaves to the silkworms; the spring rain falls on the petals of early spring, rolling like millions of pearls shining with colorful brilliance.
But this is just the surface scenery of Yecheng. In fact, the city covered by the vigorous spring vigor has long had a different taste.
During the days when Cao Chong and Cao Pi left, although the weather was not very cold in Yecheng, the drizzle of spring rain fell from the air slowly. Sometimes it was wind and sometimes it was raining, making Yecheng, a city full of history, full of the bleak smell of history.
Oh no, this is not the breath of history, this may be the breath of autumn, full of twilight.
The bleakness of autumn is revealed in spring, and I am afraid that only this city can reflect it today.
The world conquered by the King of Wei is naturally always the center of power where he is. Since it is the center of power, it is naturally the center of politics and economy.
Every day, there are merchants from all over the world who have just come to this country that has just come to peace, adding a lot of color to the city.
The spices and jewelry of the aliens were exchanged for silk, utensils, and techniques from the Central Plains.
The peaceful years have finally allowed the people who have been through war to calm down and no longer worry about when their lives will be taken away.
Ordinary people are always easily satisfied.
Even if they are still hungry every day and are still bullied by aristocratic families or government officials, they don’t have to die, they are just hungry, for them, it is a day like heaven.
It is easy to satisfy, making the current Yecheng and even the entire Jiuzhou land particularly peaceful.
Among the richest cities today, Yecheng has also begun to show luxury.
The wine shop, which was originally pitiful, is now springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Zui Menglou can no longer monopolize the wine business in Yecheng. Various games have also entered the lives of Yecheng's people. In addition to watching slave fights, nobles are more obsessed with the two things of Que Card and Chess.
The Que Card is naturally the mahjong of later generations. Cao Chong was free from work and made a small thing for his inner courtyard. His original intention was to relieve Xin Xianying and the others of his boredom.
Of course, mahjong has the effect of understanding boredom, but when the wives of other families come to visit Xin Xianying, they will inevitably be attracted by things like Que Card.
For these women trapped in high walls, what they lack is not money, but fun.
And this mahjong, also known as the Que Card, can just relieve their loneliness, and it is in an extremely pleasant way.
Like a virus, the Que Card became popular among the entire Yecheng women in just half a year, and even extended to other classes.
Those gorgeously dressed women, don't be surprised when you see them yelling around the table, because they are playing mahjong.
Compared with the Que Card, the spread of chess is much slower.
First of all, chess is not as exciting as mahjong, and it requires technology to gain a sense of accomplishment. On the contrary, some old people like to play.
For example, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Cao Cao and others were also fascinated by chess. Sometimes a few people could spend all night around chess, which was extremely crazy.
The generals who had nothing to do were not only in the mansion to their wives and concubines, but also indulged in these chess and croak cards.
Of course, there are also those who practice swords painstakingly.
However, in this peaceful era, no matter how high martial arts are, it seems useless.
After losing the enemy, the tense nerves are prone to relax. When a general's nerves begin to relax and begin to enjoy life, then the general is already destroyed.
A general who is devoted to hang out on a woman's belly has long been unworthy of being called a general.
Since ancient times, the extravagant trends have not emerged at the bottom, and the bottom layer has no confidence to launch extravagant trends. Extravagant trends have always started from the superstructure, and the same is true for the source of the extravagant trends in Yecheng.
This huge and extravagant trend that makes people easily obsessed with was not caused by others, but by Cao Mengde, a generation of heroes.
From the initial expansion of the Tongquetai and later the expansion of the garden hunting ground, after no war, Cao Cao also put his enjoyment first.
Even though someone invited Cao Cao, it still did not stop Cao Cao from taking action.
In the past six months, more than a dozen people who stopped Cao Cao were killed in the hall, and even more were killed by Cao Cao.
When the hunter kills all the wolfdogs in the forest, the flock will have no natural enemies. The flock without natural enemies will continue to reproduce, constantly eating the flowers, plants and trees of the forest until the forest is eaten naked.
The flock of sheep without natural enemies went to the abyss of destruction, just like the Wei Kingdom without enemies and Cao Cao without enemies.
For Cao Cao, he had no enemies in the land of Jiuzhou. He was the most powerful person in the land of Jiuzhou. His only worry disappeared in the past few months.
The issue of heirs is a headache no matter which person is of high power, and Cao Cao is no exception.
