Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 812 Domineering Xingtai
Cao Cao’s last wish was perfectly fulfilled. In Yecheng at the end of August, four gates were opened early in the morning, and eighteen coffins were released from each gate. There were a total of 72 coffins. Tens of thousands of people went to the funeral. After leaving the city gate, these people It is quickly divided into countless directions, heading towards the predetermined direction.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Chen Lin and many other poets and scholars in the Jian'an era also followed the funeral procession out of the city. Before dying, Cao Cao once confessed to visit him at Tongque Terrace and visited Xiyuan, so the real Cao Cao's coffin is in Ximen There are eighteen coffins, but even Cao Pi himself doesn't know which one is there.

Before the funeral, the inner and outer coffins of the eighteen coffins were switched back and forth, and the coffin bodies were completely sealed, and the wooden figures of the same weight were filled inside, which could not be distinguished from the outside.If you want to say that this era is really called out, you have to change it. In the early years, in order to pay for the army, Cao Cao set up General Faqiu and Mojin Xiaowei, and dug the tombs of the emperors of the Central Plains. They had to fight like guerrillas, and they didn't even dare to bring any funerary objects behind them.

The design of this kind of suspicious tomb also brought difficulties to the later sacrifices. Cao Pi can only sacrifice one suspicious tomb every year, which is really black and humorous. There is nothing more to add.

However, is he still Cao Mengde if he doesn't make a fuss?Not to mention the tossing about his own affairs behind him, even the big matter of Li Chu was tossing about.

Although Cao Pi is the son of King Wei, he only inherited the complete Cao Wei Kingdom. You must know that Cao Wei was separated from the territory of the Han Empire in name. There are only a few states in the Central Plains, even Bingzhou, and Sili. It also belongs to the Han Empire.

In addition to the Kingdom of Wei, the rest of the Han Empire under his jurisdiction was split into two pieces, which were left to the son-in-law and the third son. In the eyes of the Central Plains gentry, the third son Cao was tied with Yonggong and General Zhenbei. Yes, the large number of land troops of the two can be regarded as integrated into one force. How can one mountain accommodate two tigers. In this case, the entire northern sky is filled with thick clouds of war.

On the sixth day after Cao Cao's burial, what the gentry were worried about seemed to be realized little by little. The heavy army group went out of Hedong and went all the way to Yecheng. On the sixth day of September, the Guanzhong Army, who had traveled thousands of miles anxiously, finally arrived. Yecheng.

Two of Cao Wei's most elite armies confronted each other in the southern plains of Yecheng.

Cao Pi's political win-win ability is really insignificant, even Wang Hou himself did not expect that he would have a day to confront the tiger and leopard cavalry, the largest scale in the northern Central Plains of [-], and an ordinary soldier can serve as a centurion of another army, equipped with It comes from the Rizhao Iron Field, the top heavy armor in the entire empire, and even the horses are fully armored, which even surpasses their own Liaodong Spear.

After all, the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment is only a medium-armored heavy cavalry, with double armor and only a half-length vest, while tiger and leopard cavalry are actually wearing three armor and horses are also full armor, and every horse is a grassland, the best produced in Guanzhong. Wait for the horse.

The control of the war horse Cao Cao was extremely strict when he was alive, and the top war horse Wang Hou had to be turned over to Yecheng as a tax to ensure the stability of his position.

Not only the tiger and leopard cavalry, but also six of Cao Wei's famous eight tiger cavalry, Cao Chun, who commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Dun, who commanded the left and right avant-garde infantry of the Bafu, and only the rear general Cao Hong , the dead Fengche General Xia Houyuan did not come, and Wang Hou really never thought that he would have to face them one day.

It's just that at this time, Wang Hou was more cold-blooded and ruthless than these ancients who only cared about politics. Cao Shuang of the Gaoping Mausoleum was a lesson for the "later". Even if he surrendered, he was still liquidated by Sima Yi. The power struggle cannot tolerate weakness , even if it is a tiger and leopard rider, he still has to fight if he wants to do it now!He personally led the cavalry to the front of the three armies, and at the top of his voice, he roared extraordinarily loudly and arrogantly.

"According to the decree of the king of Wei, Wang led troops into Ye! Please get out of the way, Wang does not want to be bloody!"

There was some friendship in the early years, but now they are their own masters. Cao Chun, who once fought side by side with Wang Hou in Liaodong, also pulled out his horse and came out of the army with a cold face, roaring loudly.

"The former king of Wei has died! The eldest son succeeded to the throne. I have never heard that the king of Wei has an order to send troops into Ye!"

"Wang Tuqiu, you and the third son can go to Ye for the funeral, and the soldiers and horses will stop thirty miles outside Ye, otherwise don't blame Cao for not being sympathetic!"

"Don't show affection?"

At the mention of this word, Wang Hou couldn't help but sneered, and didn't say much. He drew his knife out of its sheath with a buzzing sound, and pointed forward abruptly.

This time can be regarded as a life-and-death battle between him and Cao Zhang. He was well-prepared, with more than 2 elite soldiers, and a total of [-] eight-pound field guns pulled by horses. These cannons were pushed out of the battle by the infantry. The muzzle of the cannon pointed at the elite soldiers of the Overlord Mansion opposite him, divided into three batches, and suddenly ignited the gunpowder twister behind the buttocks of the cannon.

For a moment, a tongue of flame nearly half a meter long was ejected from the muzzle, and the overwhelming roar of the cannon shook the sky and the earth shook. There was a humming sound, the big bell in the city rang without striking, and the soldiers and commoners looked towards the west of the city in disbelief from the top and bottom of the city.

This time it was a warning, and no ammunition was loaded, but the roaring cannon still shocked the tigers and leopards riding those Western Region horses that had not been trained in artillery fire. People stood up in shock, neighing in panic, and many people were caught off guard and fell off their horses. Come on, even Cao Chun and Cao Zhen had a very difficult time pulling the reins of the horses to calm down the horses.

It’s not that the Cao Wei State in the Central Plains did not have firearms, but it’s just that Cao Cao obviously still stayed in the scholar-official thinking before Wang Hou built the railway. In the early days, the artillery needed copper as currency, and even in the later period, it was high-quality refined steel. A cannon cost 1000 How many catties, even almost a ton, can only kill a few with an iron ball, but if it is made into swords and armor, it can equip at least a centurion cavalry.

Therefore, in addition to a few copper cannons equipped on the buildings and boats of the Bafu Cao Jun, the firearms still stayed on the returning cannons and catapults from the era of the former Wang Hou.

This burst of earth-shattering firing of warning guns, even if there are more than 4 elite soldiers in the Tyrant Mansion, their faces turned pale with shock, and the morale of the army was turbulent. Even Wang Hou, who was wearing earplugs, was so shocked that his ears buzzed and fell silent. After a few seconds, his ears recovered a little, and then he roared again at the top of his throat.

"My king of Wei has only the prime minister! The prime minister's order, even if you die, you will not regret it! I will give you half a day to get out of the way, or Wang will break into Yecheng!"

It’s really harsh words, Wang Hou even ordered someone to set up a huge floor drain in front of the army, just like the boss pinching his watch in later movies, but this time, Cao Chun didn’t dare to fight again , a dozen cavalry quickly rushed back to Yecheng.

For a while, even the Eight Tiger Cavalry lost the confidence to win, and Cao Cao did have a crush on Cao Zhang before his death. Even if Cao Ren and Cao Chun were a few, they were not extremely loyal and wanted to protect Cao Pi.

The political situation became even weirder and turbulent all of a sudden!
