Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 592: Raiders of Hanzhong

Ai Lang left Luoyang for Xuchang soon. At about the same time, his wives and daughters also moved to Xuchang. As far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Bujun’s territory has expanded more than a thousand miles westward, including Yanzhou, Luoyang, Runan and other places. If the capital continues to be placed in Shouchun, it will be very unfavorable for Lu Bujun to control the territory. Yes, because Shouchun at this time was too easterly compared to the territory currently occupied by Lu Bujun, and it was too far away from the main battlefield. Therefore, Ailang accepted the advice of the counselors and moved the capital from Shouchun to Xuchang. Xuchang is located to the west of Yanzhou, very close to Luoyang and Jingzhou. It is the capital of the Cao family. It is large in scale, well-equipped, fertile, and densely populated. As the capital, it can be said that it is no longer suitable, and there will be nothing. problem. In fact, Ailang originally planned to set up the capital in Luoyang altogether, but because the strategists felt that Luoyang was actually at the front line now, and it was not appropriate to be the capital, so he gave up.

While relocating the capital of Ailang, the various armies are also making adjustments. The main force and most of the strategic materials are being mobilized to Luoyang, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou to readjust their deployment in preparation for future wars. The supplementary training work of the war-damaged ministries is also intensified. The local military government is responsible for this work, and the local officials do not interfere. It needs to be explained here that Aylang has completely stripped off the military responsibilities of the local government not long ago, recruiting and training new recruits, providing care for the families of casualties, and various preferential policies for military family members. They are no longer subject to the local government. The execution was changed to a parallel organization, the military government. The military mansion does not belong to the civil official system, nor the military commander system. It belongs directly to the Qin Palace and is directly responsible by Ailang.

While all aspects of work were still in full swing, the handling of Hanzhong was already on the agenda. In Hanzhong, Cao Cao turned to Cao Cao. However, with the full launch of Cao's power from Yanzhou in Luoyang Guanzhong, Hanzhong became an enclave. At this time, the chief governor of Hanzhong was still Zhang Lu, but he did not express his attitude at the time of this great change, and seemed to remain loyal to the Cao family.

In the study, Ailang discussed the situation in Hanzhong with several people. Ailang asked Guo Jiadao: "Feng Xiao, this Zhang Lu, I heard that he and Cao are already married, is it true?" Guo Jiadao: "It's true. But the situation is not what the outside world thinks. When Prime Minister Cao was still alive, the two parties made a marriage contract. Zhang Lu’s daughter Zhang Qiying will marry Prime Minister Cao Yu. However, this matter was not completed until the death of Prime Minister Cao. The subordinates heard that the reason was that Zhang Qiying was attached to General Ma Chao. It was very against this marriage, so Zhang Lu did not send Zhang Qiying to Xuchang for a long time."

Hearing this, Ai Lang immediately became happy, and smiled: "This is the first time I have heard of it! I didn't expect Ma Mengqi to have such a romantic affair!" Guo Jia laughed, "I'm afraid Ma Chao. The general himself did not know! Ma Chao went to Zhang Lu that day, it must be the heroic posture on the battlefield that made this Miss Zhang Qiying overwhelmed!" Ai Lang nodded with a smile, and said jokingly: "Normal and normal! Hero!"

After a pause, he asked, "Bong Xiao, what should we do with this Hanzhong? Can peaceful means be included in the bag?"

Guo Jiadao: "It's hard to say. I'm afraid it will take a try." Then he smiled and threw a fist at Ai Lang: "Master. It is good to send an envoy along the way to try it out. Even if it fails, it won't hurt us. Ailang nodded, "Okay. Just send an envoy along the way to see." Looking at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, you can choose a suitable candidate for me." Guo Jia clasped his fist and promised.

Jizhou. Originally the capital of Yuan Shao, now the Cao family retreated from the south, Jizhou has become the capital of the Cao family again. In this round of battle, the Cao family couldn't help losing a large area of ​​land, and the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, which can be described as severely injured. Cao Pi, who had retreated to Jizhou, could not afford the idea of ​​conquest. At the same time, all Cao troops contracted their defense lines and strictly guarded the border with Lu Bu to guard against Lu Bu's attack.

Cao Pi sat above the hall, while Sima Yi and Xun Yu stood under the hall. Many people may find this strange. When the previous war was in full swing, why were the two most important counselors, Sima Yi and Xun Yu, absent, but let a seriously ill Guo Jia take the lead? If one of them were in Luoyang, maybe the situation wouldn't change to what it is now! In fact, at the time of the war, the two of them were not idle. Sima Yi sits in Dongping to guard against Lu Bujun in the direction of Qingzhou. Dongping, in fact, is the seat of Yanzhou’s government, not far from Mount Tai. Although the Lv Bu army has occupied most of the counties and counties in Yanzhou, the counties east of the Yellow River to the west of Mount Tai in Dongping are still in the hands of Cao Jun. Na Sima Yi sits in Dongping to guard against Jia Xu, while Xun Yu is behind Youzhou Gongwei. In fact, it was precisely because the two men were sitting in Dongping and Youzhou respectively that they stabilized the situation in the rear, so that they would not cause chaos in the rear after the defeat, and Cao Pi relied on this to stabilize the position after the defeat. , There was no such thing as an unstoppable collapse.

Cao Pi looked a little depressed. At this time, Xun Yu was reporting the current situation to Cao Pi: "...According to the lord’s order, the counties are currently compiling and training the people. It is estimated that after the completion of the work, our army can recover to a scale of more than 600,000. Although there are some shortages, it should be solved in time. At present, the most important thing should be to stabilize people's hearts. The subordinates suggested that meritorious officers should be rewarded and the families of the casualties should be treated. At the same time, they should strictly investigate the deceptive generations and impose heavy punishments. ."

Cao Pi nodded and said: "Strictly investigate the people who confuse the people, it should be so." Then he frowned, and said in anguish: "But, this rewards the meritorious soldiers and caresses the wounded soldiers.... Now the military is reorganized. I don’t have enough money and food, so how can I do this with the extra money and food?"

Xun Yu clasped his fist and said, "Although his subordinates are not talented, they still have some property. I would like to donate all of them to reward soldiers!" Cao Pi couldn't help being moved. Sima Yi also clasped his fist and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo has this mindset, and his subordinates admire the most, and his subordinates are willing to donate all the property to the lieutenant generals of the army!" Cao Pi couldn't help being moved and said: "The two gentlemen are so public and selfless. It's my great fortune!" Then he resolutely said: "The two gentlemen are like this, how can I be stingy with money! So let me take out all of my wealth!" Xun Yu and Sima Yi are both happy. Sima Yi said: "In this way, not only can people's hearts be stabilized, but the officials and soldiers will be grateful to the prime minister for his destiny!"

Cao Pi thought for a while, and said to Xun Yu: "That's the case. Mr. Wen Ruo, you will be solely responsible for this matter!" Xun Yu bowed and promised.

Cao Pi stood up, walked into the hall, looked out the gate with his hands folded, and couldn't help frowning, saying, "Lü Bu is now rising strongly! I really don't know how to deal with it!"

When the two heard this, they couldn't help showing solemn expressions. Sima Yi clasped his fist and said: "Although Lv Bu has a strong army, the losses in this battle are by no means a few. Moreover, because of the disturbance of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, Lv Bu is currently making a large-scale attack in the south, and he wants to turn to a stable place as the first. Important business! Therefore, there is no need to worry about Lu Bu’s threat for the time being! Today’s confrontation can’t help being a huge threat to us, and the same is true for Liu Bei! Their alliance is over! Liu Bei never wants to see Lu Bu continue. Sit down! Now is the time to join Liu Bei to deal with Lu Bu!"

Xun Yu nodded in agreement, and then clasped his fists: "Zhongda is absolutely true. One more subordinate. Lu Bu is not only a major threat to us to Liu Bei, but also to the barbarians. In this battle, the various tribes of the barbarians are fighting Lu Bu has suffered heavy losses! Therefore, it is time to unite Liu Bei and the barbarians to fight against Lu Bu!"

Cao Pi frowned tightly, appearing a little reluctant, and muttered to himself: "Liu Bei seized me from Guanzhongxiliang, and the barbarians took advantage of the fire when I was weak! I wish they would be smashed and cramped to relieve my heart. Hate! Want me to unite with them today?!..."

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, don't be arrogant! Now you can only deal with Lu Bu in conjunction with them! It will not be too late to clean up after Lu Bu is eliminated!" Cao Pi smiled and said to Sima Yi, "I understand this truth naturally. What I said just now is just to vent the depression in my heart!" After a pause, "In this case, Mr. Wen Ruo will select suitable officials to send Chang'an and Xianbei Yazhang to form an alliance to deal with Lu Bu." The two couldn't help. Yixi, clasped fists together and said, "The prime minister is wise!"

Sima Yi immediately said: "Prime Minister, this matter is naturally a top priority, but there is another matter to be considered, and that is Hanzhong's problem!"

Cao Pi frowned and said, "I have been thinking about this. I would never want it to fall into Lu Bu's hands in the fertile land of Hanzhong, but how can I keep Hanzhong in this situation!..."

Sima Yi immediately said: "If you can't keep Hanzhong, hand over Hanzhong to Liu Bei!" Cao Pi was taken aback, then frowned and nodded, some unwillingly cursed, "It's just that the big ear thief who weaves and sells is cheaper!"

Zhang Lu hurriedly walked towards the front hall, frowning tightly. This Lu, although he is a prince of a party, has a prominent status, but he wears neither casual clothes nor official robes. He is actually dressed in a Taoist robe. He is seen fluttering in his Taoist robe, as if he is a master of Taoism. The master of Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu hurried to the hall. An official who also wore a Taoist robe immediately stepped forward and said, "The leader, Liu Bei's envoy has reached the border and wants to come to see the leader! In addition, the emissary sent by Prime Minister Cao Pi has entered the city!"

Zhang Lu frowned, walking up and down the hall with an annoyed look.
