Chapter 355 The Simulator Follows

When Ma Di was being educated by Cai Yong's stick in Cai Mansion, Cao Cao stood in his own courtyard, looking at the former Taiwei's mansion with its shabby walls, and sighed for a while.

The hundreds of millions of wealth in the past were wiped out in a short time because of Yuan Shaomingzhe's protection of his life, and he almost cost his own life.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart boiled with anger.

If Yuan Shao hadn't patted his chest to keep him safe, he would never have taken over the post of General Zhengxi so early.

Therefore, this beam is knotted.

Cao Song first explained the matter of dissolving the family property in detail, and then said: "Yuan Shao now occupies a high position as a general, and he has long forgotten the past friendship. My son must remember the shame of today and work hard to make a comeback. Otherwise, we will People in the world will laugh their ass off. They won't laugh at Yuan Shao for employing people improperly, but they will laugh at you for being overconfident! They will laugh at you for being born as an eunuch. As a father, I am old and incompetent, and I am not worth it; it's just a pity that you, Meng De, have lost your reputation all your life Destroyed, but also subject to such a great insult!"

Hearing what the old man said, blue veins burst out on Cao Cao's forehead, and he yelled, "Yuan Shaopifu! You and I are at odds!"

Cao Song hastily persuaded: "My son, keep your voice down, don't let outsiders listen to your words. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and it's not too late to settle today's old scores when he makes a comeback in the future."

Cao Cao was still very indignant: "I swear I will kill this beast, and I will be ashamed!"

Cao Song waved his hands hastily: "My son, please don't speak loudly. Now the Yuan family controls the government, and all important affairs of the country are determined by Shao. You need to be careful in what you say and do in the future, so as not to implicate your family."

Cao Cao is not a ignorant person either. Hearing what his old father said, he calmed down quickly and asked, "The family wealth is all gone now. I wonder what father's plan is?"

Cao Song sighed: "With my son's talent, he will be able to be used again soon. At that time, remember to endure the hatred for the time being, and wait for the time to change. As a father, you will take the family with you and return home. You can decide on your own affairs in Beijing. .”

After thinking for a while, he added: "Meng De, you have a very good personal relationship with Cai Yong. I think his son Su seems to have the wisdom to turn things around, and the ability to be unpredictable. Why don't you walk around more, or you may have a clever idea." It's also unknown."

Cao Cao took it very seriously: "What my father reminded me is that I will come to thank you right now."

After saying this, he opened the door, walked out with firm steps, and quickly disappeared into the street outside.

Cao Song leaned against the door, staring blankly at the streets of Luoyang, the capital city, and muttered to himself, "Let's go, let's go..."

The consequences of the defeat of Chang'an this time were very serious, but it did not have any impact on the princes of the court.No matter how brave the Xiliang army is based on cavalry, it can only make a move in Xiliang and Guanzhong. It is absolutely impossible to break into Luoyang and change the dynasty.

So, nothing to panic about.

Under the leadership of Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, the big man deployed heavy troops at each pass, and with a pragmatic defensive posture, he fought with the Xiliang army.

In the next three months, the Xiliang army launched several large-scale offensives, pushing the front line eastward to the east of Tongguan, but they were unable to attack again and again, and it was difficult to advance an inch.This offensive continued until the spring of the second year of Zhaoning in the Han Dynasty (190).

Zhaoning is Liu Zhuan's second reign name.Liu Hong died of illness in April of the sixth year of Zhongping (189). Empress He established Liu Braid as emperor on Wuwu of the same month, and changed his reign name to "Guangxi". After Dong Zhuo's rebellion in August, he changed to "Zhaoning" .

In the spring and March of the second year of Zhaoning, the Xiliang Army led by Han Suimateng attacked Tongguan for the fifth time. One hundred thousand cavalry gathered in front of the pass and faced Zhu Jun, the leader of the Han army, across a stone's throw away.

The two armies confronted Tongguan for more than three months, and it was hard to tell the winner.Just when everyone thought that the battle would last until the summer, Han Suixiang, the core figure of the Xiliang Army, suddenly "ill" died in the army. The Xiliang Army was in chaos and had to retreat in a hurry.

Han Sui's sudden death had an unprecedented shock to the alliance-based Xiliang Army. Not long after his death, a civil war for power broke out within the Xiliang Army during the retreat.The instigator of the civil war was Han Sui's adopted son Lv Bu. Ma Teng and Ma Chao were unable to defeat the wolves with four hands, and had to lead half of the Qiang cavalry to flee all the way back to Liangzhou.

All the land in Guanzhong fell into the hands of Lu Bu.

However, Han Sui's death has always been a mystery. The death of illness is only an account given by Lu Bu. It is difficult for outsiders to know the specific inside story, because Yan Xing, Han Sui's close friend, also died strangely on the night of Han Sui's death. The truth of Han Sui's death was revealed completely covered up.

Zhonglang general Zhu Jun was overjoyed when he learned of the civil strife in the Xiliang army. He led 2 soldiers and horses in pursuit at Xingye, but was easily defeated by Lu Bu, who had only more than [-] soldiers and horses. Even Zhu Jun himself was killed on the spot.

After this battle, the vitality of the imperial court was greatly injured.

General Yuan Shao had to mobilize troops from other places to rush to Tongguan, and at the same time immediately held a court meeting to discuss the candidate for the new chief general.

In the court hall, all civil and military officials expressed their opinions.Some people thought that Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, should be recruited to resist Lu Bu. Some people thought that Changsha was too far away, and it would take more than a month to travel, and the distance could not quench the thirst.Others proposed that Lu Zhi or Huangfusong take over, but both of them were too old to refuse.

The imperial court was in dispute, and Cai Yong, the censor Zhongcheng, proposed to reactivate Cao Cao to pacify Lu Bu.The reason Cai Yong gave was that Cao Cao was defeated by Lv Bu last time and almost died at one point, but this time he will surely realize his shame and be courageous, and he will feel the hatred of the day.

As soon as this discussion came out, all officials were silent.

They all know that Cao Cao's ability to lead troops is qualified. Strictly speaking, Cao Cao did lose a bit unjustly last time.Moreover, they had only received the money from the Cao family a few months ago, so they were short-handed, so it was absolutely impossible for them to jump out and oppose Cao Cao's comeback today.

Seeing that the officials did not object, Yuan Shao was happy to use Cao Cao again.In his opinion, although he did not help Cao Cao when he was in a desperate situation last time, if Cao Cao was his younger brother for one day, he would be his younger brother for the rest of his life.As for whether Cao Cao thinks so, it doesn't matter.

Yuan Shao knew very well that as a general, he didn't have to care about what other people thought. He Jin cared too much about what other people thought. That's why he acted like an idiot.

Therefore, after the court meeting, Zhu Jun's position was replaced by Cao Cao, and Ma Su was promoted to join the army.None of the civil and military officials expressed any objection to this appointment, and public opinion in the government and the public believed that this was Cao Cao's repayment of his life-saving grace to Cai Yong.

In addition, Ma Di's record is shining.Although he is a little younger, he is very big. As long as he doesn't tell himself, no one will regard him as a nine-year-old child.You know, when he was eight years old, he personally killed the Great Demon King Dong Zhuo.

What's more, there is still Gan Luo who worshiped at the age of 12 in the violent Qin Dynasty. How can a big man fall behind, and there is nothing wrong with being a general at the age of nine!

In May of the second year of Zhaoning, Cao Cao and Ma Su led an army to Tongguan, pointing their sword at Chang'an.

On the other hand, the situation in Guanzhong is undergoing a reshuffle.

Han Sui's death meant that the Xiliang army was completely split into two parts, and the offensive side turned into defensive.After that, it will be difficult to pose a fundamental threat to the big man.

Under Ma Di's suggestion, Cao Cao changed his previous strategy of quick battles and decided to divide his troops into two groups.He personally led the army from Tongguan to the west to approach the city of Chang'an, while Ma Su led a division to march from the waterway, passing through Weishui and Luoshui, attacking the hinterland of Guanzhong west of Chang'an, occupying counties and encroaching on places.

This plan went very smoothly. Under the strategy of attacking from two directions, the Han army quickly occupied most of the territory in Guanzhong.

Lü Bu was exhausted, and sent eight generals to attack in multiple directions, trying to recover the counties and counties, but Cao Cao concentrated his superior forces to eat up all the soldiers and horses.

So Lu Bu changed his strategy and personally led the army to rescue the various counties.

But as soon as his army arrives, the soldiers and horses led by Ma Di will withdraw one step ahead of time, giving up control of the city; as soon as Lu Bu leaves, Ma Di will raise his troops and make a comeback.

After several times of pulling and pulling like this, Lu Bu was exhausted and complained endlessly; the soldiers complained and their morale was low.

If Lu Bu was familiar with the history of the Chu-Han dispute, he would have understood that this was the "tactic of exhausting the enemy" used by Liu Bang when he defeated Xiang Yu.

It's a pity that although Lu Bu has read books, he doesn't seek to understand them deeply. Few of the eight generals under his command have even read books.

Then there's no way.

It can only be played and applauded by Ma Di and Cao Cao.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to August of the second year of Zhaoning, and a whole year had passed since the defeat in Chang'an.

Six years after coming to this era, Ma Di finally got the long overdue system.

That night, Ma Di was lying with his legs crossed in his tent by the Weishui River, daydreaming, when a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears along with an unknown object that fell from the sky.

[Model, the simulator is...is...is...loading...]

"Fuck!"

Ma Di jumped up and stomped violently on the unknown object on the ground.

"You fucking motherfucker finally willing to come?!"
