Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 860 Slave of Times

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's success lies in Li Shanchang's three suggestions.

Build high walls, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly!
Building high walls and accumulating grain is to cultivate fields and develop strength. It’s easy to talk about it. Slowly claiming the king is political. After Zhu Yuanzhang even became the king of Wu, he still had contact with the Yuan court in Dadu. Zhang Shicheng, who suppressed under the banner of the Yuan Dynasty, Fighting against Chen Youliang, slowing down the title of king is not an early bird, so as not to be the target of public criticism for lack of strength.

But at this juncture, when the situation was not stable, Wang Hou first pushed Cao Zhang to proclaim himself emperor, with the purpose of doing the opposite!I beg you to hit me, Lao Tzu is a target for everyone, come and cut me!

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country!When he just got the news of Cao Pi's death, Sima Yi immediately supported Cao Pi's eldest son Hejian Wang Cao Rui as emperor, and took the initiative politically. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was so smooth to climb to the top position in this era, Sima Yi He was also a little more arrogant than in history, and he failed to negotiate with Cao Zhen, and failed to win Cao Zhen to his side in the first place.

When Wang Hou led 25 people out of the pass in a threatening manner, and captured the capital Luoyang in half a month, even if Sima Yi fully agreed to Cao Zhen's conditions, Cao Zhen had no intention of standing with him anymore. Thick and high song slashed at the snow-winged eagles with a knife, the majestic mountains soared into the sky, and the city of Chengdu was burning!Prime Minister Zhuge, hand it over!And the worshiped "five-body throwing the ground" took Cao Pi's body and took refuge in Luoyang.

Even the remains of the old emperor cannot be buried, and the capital is lost. Is the emperor still orthodox?
In fact, although Sima Yi can't say that he has the advantage, at least he has not fallen into a disadvantage. He guards the Central Plains in the middle, breaks through the grassland on the left, and captures Wang Hou's old northeast industrial base. After burying his elder brother, he proclaimed himself emperor, and distributed all the officials, occupying all the positions, and the imperial court in Yecheng was completely boiled.

You are Da Sima, Zhongshuling, Shangshuling, door ordering, left and right servants shooting, so what is Lao Tzu?

The officials who had been slightly critical of Sima Yi's loss of Si Li broke out. It is said that Chen Qun, the top Chinese official in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, had a dispute with Sima Yi.

And just after the Chinese New Year, a long-awaited letter from Wang Hou finally arrived in Luoyang.

Sima Yi's "Words for the King"!
After all, Sima Yi compromised with the gentry group that boiled like a teapot under his command. In other words, he was backlashed by the Kanto gentry who held him as the spokesperson, and finally had to send troops to fight Wang Hou desperately.

This letter is said to have been written by Chen Lin, a talented scholar from Hebei who wrote the Call for Cao Calligraphy back then. It is a pity that Wang Hou didn’t even read what he quoted from the scriptures. After receiving the letter, the first time he Excitedly, he ran out of the prime minister's study that originally belonged to Cao Cao holding the call to arms written on golden silk from his study, and shouted excitedly at Jia Xu and other civil advisers who were working in the central government office.

"Sima the old tortoise has finally emerged from its shell!"

"God bless Your Majesty!"

Compared with the red tape of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, which has a majority of young backbones, is so rampant. There are even bursts of cheers from the staff of the civil servants. Even Jia Xu slapped his thigh in excitement, and soon he got old. Yihong, pretending to be mature and prudent, coughed heavily.

For the Western Wei Dynasty, a decisive battle is indeed better than in the huge Central Plains. City after city competes for the past. There are too many variables. A plague, flood, snowstorm and freezing disaster may change the outcome of the battle. How about a decisive battle?Although Kansai has maintained peace and stability over the years, in fact local wars have been fought all the time. The trade routes leading to the Western Regions are all armed merchants, and the naturalized Han Chinese of the Western Qiang have not forgotten how to fight.

As for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in addition to Mr. Cao, he also tossed 20 people to fight Soochow. In fact, peace has already begun.

Especially in terms of military system, the main body of the army in the Western Wei Dynasty was the volunteer soldiers of the landlords and farmers, while the Eastern Wei Dynasty was the tenant soldiers led by the children of the aristocratic families, and the fighting will was not at the same level.

In terms of military strength, the two sides have reached a one-to-one tie. In addition to the 10,000+ Luoyang Bafu soldiers who fled to the east, and the garrison troops, a large number of Central Plains gentry also armed all the tenants and servants in their manors and brought them to the battlefield. There are also nearly 40.

However, according to the agreement with Cao Zhen, the 15 Bafu troops he returned could not be sent to the front line of the battlefield. In addition to the troops left behind in Luoyang, Wang Hou could really take the battle, but only 6 to [-] troops.

But even so, no one would think that the Western Wei Dynasty was at a disadvantage!

The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops was extremely slow. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first. After receiving the appeal and formally responding, it was not until February that the Luoyang army beat the thunderous drums again.

It is still the vanguard of the professional army. At the forefront of the army is the Storm Corps, which has been honed for three years on the plateau, followed by the veteran force, the Liaodong First Corps and the Second Corps, which have been expanded into an army. They have been fighting with Liaodong for many years However, the poor Third Mixed Brigade, which had never been expanded, served as the central army this time, serving Wang Hou together with the Liaodong Knights.

This time, it was the first time that Cao Zhang left the Liaodong army and was surrounded by 15 hegemony troops who were the emperor's personal companion. More than a dozen attendants reported layer by layer, so that they could rush from the front army to the emperor's army.

The relationship with Emperor Cao Zhang did not seem to have changed for the time being. When Wang Hou rode his horse to the front of the imperial court, he was directly invited into the chariot of dozens of halberd soldiers wearing umbrellas.

Looking at Cao Zhang, who was wearing the heavy and thick emperor's robes and sat on the back seat with a sad face, sitting in the center of the car, he unceremoniously sat down on the seats on both sides of the car, Even Wang Hou turned up the thick car seat with ease, took out a bottle of fruit wine, bit off the cork and took a sip, then shook his head at Cao Zhanghao comfortably.

"Sitting on an army of 15, and worshiped by important ministers, I, who put my brother-in-law in, have to bow down to you. How does it feel to be an emperor!"

"Forget it! I fell into the trap of your brother-in-law!"

Finally, he moved his already sore waist a little, and looked outside at the warriors with spears under their armpits, Cao Zhang couldn't help shaking his head in distress.

"I would rather lead the cavalry from the Western Regions to stare at the scorching sun, eat the sand, and march towards the unknown world, than to be surrounded by these guys, surrounded by them, but in fact they are guarded like prisoners, and they are not allowed to drink. What? If you don't follow their wishes, just a lot of advice, they are the emperor, right?"

"I really don't understand, my brother, why he wants to take this position with his head sharpened!"

Heroes follow the trend, and the times make heroes, but from another perspective, why are heroes not slaves of the times?In the midst of boiling against Yingtian, Sima Yi, a traitorous hero, has to follow the trend, and Cao Zhang, who sits in this car and enjoys the loyalty of 20 clan troops, is just that the clan needs a son of Cao Cao to be emperor to guarantee their status. !

There are two kinds of emperors, Liu Bang and Cao Cao in the east, Caesar in the west, emperors like Alexander, and emperors like Cao Zhang now, so he sighed for a moment, and suddenly he knocked on the table angrily and roared angrily.

"Don't forget that you promised me that after defeating the old thief Sima, I will return to the Western Regions to be my chief protector, and I will soon go to war with the Sishuang people. This emperor, you don't matter, whoever comes, don't call me !"

He is really a prodigal son, the position that others want to be reincarnated every day, but for Cao Zhang, it is a pit of fire.

But listening to his complaints, Wang Hou took another sip of the fruit wine he secretly hid, shaking his head triumphantly.

"It's okay for me to be the emperor. The 20 clans of the hegemony will have to go to war with Kansai immediately. When the time comes, China will fall into troubled times again. As long as you can go out in the Western Regions!"

"You are rascal!"

"I promise you, when the Central Plains is stable, you are willing to continue to be your conqueror, the Great Protector of the Western Regions, just go! That's right?"

"Before that, you have to give your current position and prepare a successor well, so that when you draw your bow and shoot arrows on the front line, there will be someone behind you who will continuously bring you bows and swords!"

"The cubs in my family are all so young! When will they grow up!"

The most ruthless emperor's family, the final victory between the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei has not yet been decided. Cao Zhang, the enthroned Wei Ming Emperor, has already held his head to plan a route for the next generation of successors, and let the emperor complain. Hou looked happily at the army outside the window.

A billowing dragon headed straight to the north.

After this battle, this last battle, he can relax a bit!
