Chapter 59: Wang Ping's Trojan Horse Arrives in Fancheng
Everyone said goodbye one after another and went back to the room arranged by their lord for themselves and others. They had been living in the tent of the camp outside the city for several months, so when they returned to their house at this time, it was indeed not very used to it. Fortunately, even if this was the case, they wouldn't be able to sleep. After all, they were really relieved that Liu Bei was destroyed, so at least they had to sleep peacefully than before, which was the most important thing. After all, they were also worried about the war in Fancheng before, and
There are also Yanzhou troops eyeing each other. Now, at least the biggest concern is that the Han army and Jingzhou troops were destroyed. As for the Yanzhou troops who are still outside the city, it is not that they are not worried, but that they are only left. It is true that our side really doesn't have to worry so much. After all, our side has seized Fancheng, so as long as Cao Cao is not stupid, he will never let their Yanzhou troops take action.
It was a rash move, because that would not be good for them, so... since there wasn't so much worry, everyone naturally had a good rest, even Ma Chao. For him, sleeping in the house must be much more comfortable than in the big tent, and he liked to sleep in the house, and really didn't like it in the tent. However, when the marching and fighting,
There is really no way. Ma Chao has never been stable in the tent during the march and war. In his life, when he was a child, he could sleep peacefully only when he was at his own home and his parents. After he grew up, he could sleep peacefully when he had Mi Zhen around him. After all, having relatives and lovers is home, that is home, and at home, he naturally slept peacefully. But when he was out, especially during the march and war, he could not sleep peacefully. Ma Chao was not at all
Such a person with a big heart, so he also entered Fancheng. It can be said that Ma Chao slept the most peacefully when he came to Fancheng's tent. Of course, this stability means relatively stable, which is incomparable to when he was in Chang'an. After all, the most basic thing is that Mi Zhen is here in Chang'an, so how can he have his own wife in Fancheng? So Ma Chao has no choice, his children have his own children.
My mother and wife worry about her, and she doesn’t have to care too much, and she really doesn’t have that much energy to care about her. Although I also know that my mother and wife, even my younger sister, want to be at home, it is obvious that this is impossible. After all, I am so busy, now that I am at home, there are fewer things when I go out to fight, so there is nothing I can do about it.
Cao Cao received specific news that Fancheng was completely occupied by the Liangzhou army, and then Liu Bei and Taishici and Wen Chou committed suicide. Of course, after all, there was no one left, and Cao Cao really had no idea. No matter what Liu Bei did, he could not surrender to himself, so it was normal for him to die. However, even Cao Cao was a little moved about Wen Chou and Taishici. If they could surrender to their own side, then their side would be like a tiger. But it was a pity that they still loyal to Liu Bei.
But when I think about it, after all, Liu Bei is kind to him, so he can't surrender to others. And Taishi Ci is even a veteran who has been with Liu Bei for twenty years, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Later, Cao Cao also told his generals that when all the people who should surrender to him arrive, he can retreat. Of course, before this, it is indeed a matter of fact that it is still necessary to be
Strictly guard against the Liangzhou army and pay close attention to their movements. Although he did not think that the Liangzhou army would come to attack or something, and they should be more careful about their own attacks than their own side, it is indeed impossible to prevent this matter. So not only the Liangzhou army defends against the Yanzhou army, but in fact, the Yanzhou army also guards against the Liangzhou army. After all, for the Yanzhou army, the Liangzhou army has destroyed the Han army today, so the enemy in Fancheng is left with its own side, so it is impossible not to be careful.
When Wang Ping and the others who had already retreated heard that they had seized Fancheng, they were both relieved. And they were not so fast and wanted to go to Fancheng. After all, Wang Ping knew very well that when he went to Fancheng, he could not help anything at all, and he had to let his lord punish him. Of course, Wang Ping was not afraid of this, but now he had just won, so it would be really bad if he really let his lord deal with him. And when Sun Ce and Cao Ren also learned the news, Sun Ce was straight
After receiving the meeting, he stopped the march and had a meeting with Cao Ren. He also knew that he had to talk to Cao Ren. After all, this was not a small matter, it was indeed a big matter, and an important matter. After seeing Cao Ren and others, Sun Ce said to the few people: "General Cao, everyone, I must have known about Fancheng now. I wonder what General Cao was thinking?" When Cao Ren heard that he was
Instead of telling what he was thinking, he asked Sun Ce directly: "I wonder what General Sun is thinking?" After hearing this, Sun Ce said without any concealment and said directly: "I mean to take our army away from Nanyang and return to Jiangxia, and in the end, to return to Jiangdong!" Obviously, Sun Ce intended to withdraw his troops, and Cao Ren also knew that he was definitely the truth, not to deceive himself or something.
However, Cao Ren said: "If General Sun insists on this, then our army and the army will have to part ways! I will still go to Fancheng to meet my lord, so I will not go back to Jiangxia!" Indeed, the end of the war in Fancheng is over, but Jiangxia's war can be said to have been over long ago, so Cao Ren cannot go back to Jiangxia because it is unnecessary and meaningless. In the end, he can only go back to Xudu, so he must meet his lord first and then go back with his lord.
Sun Ce nodded. This was as expected. After all, he wanted to go back to Jiangdong, so he, Cao Ren, wanted to lead his troops back to Xudu. But unlike himself, he was the lord, so he didn't have to consider anything else. However, Cao Ren was almost at Fancheng, so he could not pass Cao Cao and lead his troops back to Xudu alone. That was impossible, so he had to lead his troops to Fancheng. And for this,
It can be said that Sun Ce can understand it. After all, if he was Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, he would have to do this. That is necessary. Finally, Sun Ce said: "What General Cao said is understandable, but I can only say it is a regret. It is a great regret that I cannot continue to work with General Cao." As a result, when Cao Ren heard it, he thought to himself that I don't want to continue to work with you, Sun Bofu, and now he is divided.
It's best to go back to their own houses. Indeed, it's still good to go back to their own houses. Since the two of them had decided that, then one day, the two sides parted ways. Cao Ren continued to take the Yanzhou army north, while Sun Ce, naturally he brought the Jiangdong army back to Jiangxia. For him, Fancheng was not worth going there at all. What would he do if he went there? Liu Bei and Han army were finished, and he wanted to avenge him? Is that possible? And he was not prepared to go to Fancheng and Ma Chao Liangzhou army at this time
War. If the Han army is still there, before Liu Bei dies, he must go to Fancheng and fight with the Liangzhou army. But now this is already here, so he cannot go again. There is no need to see Cao Cao, and there is no need to say much to see him. And when to see him, it is not a meeting. And at this moment, there is indeed no need to
At this time, the coalition forces have disintegrated temporarily. Think about it, the previous coalition was to occupy Jingzhou territory, jointly deal with the Liangzhou army, and protect Liu Bei. Now that the Han army has been destroyed, the Jiangxia incident has happened, so there is no need for the coalition forces of Sun Ce and Cao Ren and others to exist for the time being, so the disintegration is just a matter of time. Speaking of which, both of them know this, but before Liu Bei was destroyed, they would not say anything. But now, this time it is a temporary
It's over. Of course, even if Liu Bei is not destroyed, their coalition forces will force Ma Chao to retreat and then disintegrate. After all, their ultimate goal of this alliance is to protect Liu Bei and force Ma Chao to retreat. So no matter which success or failure, they will eventually disintegrate temporarily, and there will still be a chance to unite again in the future. Compared with the Yanzhou army brought by Cao Ren, it is naturally the Liangzhou army brought by Wang Ping Muma and others to arrive in Fancheng first. Ma Chao has naturally received a report from the horse.
He specially brought his generals out of the city to welcome Wang Ping and Muma and the others. Yes, Wang Ping and the others made mistakes, such as not obeying military orders. But compared with their contributions, Ma Chao would definitely not turn a blind eye to this, so he brought the generals out to greet him. If they had no contributions, Ma Chao would naturally not come out. However, they had great contributions, so even if they were not satisfied, they would not have made any contributions.
It is true that he made a mistake, but Ma Chao still wants to come out to greet him. As for the fact that he did not obey the military order, then naturally, there are some people who later said that now they have made great contributions to Fancheng, so it is impossible for Ma Chao, who is the lord, to have no action at all. Otherwise, it is indeed easy to lose the military spirit. At least there are many soldiers and have other ideas.
Indeed. Ma Chao saw Wang Ping and Trojan outside the city. He smiled and said to the two: "You have made great contributions to our army. It's so hard. Please enter the city and talk!" "No! Lord, please!" Wang Ping said, and Trojan said the same thing. Ma Chao brought the two into Fancheng. In the living room, he listened to what Wang Ping said, blocking the war between the coalition forces, and then adding the Trojan. Finally, Ma Chao praised the two again. But afterwards, he changed the subject, "Wang Ping, Trojan, you guys
Knowing the mistake?" When Wang Ping and the others heard this, he quickly said, "I shouldn't have withdrawn my troops to Fancheng early, I shouldn't have..." The Trojan also apologized with Wang Ping. When Ma Chao heard this, he sighed slightly. It was impossible for him to say that someone would give the two people a crack, that was impossible. But it was impossible to say that they would not punish them. After all, disobeying the military order is definitely not a trivial matter. He was
Asking them to intercept the coalition forces, but they didn't say that as long as they could hold them back for a long time, they could withdraw their troops. If they said that they would withdraw their troops after they occupied Fancheng, then they didn't say that Wang Ping had withdrawn his troops before he took Fancheng. This is a mistake. If you want to say that the merits and demerits are offset, Ma Chao wouldn't do it every time. Speaking of this, if you do it once or twice, it's actually too many, and it's basically
It is just that credit is credit, and mistake is fault. This is bad after all. Therefore, if Wang Ping and the other party have made merits, they will naturally have to reward him, but if they have done so, they must punish him. This is not said. So Ma Chao said to the two again at this time: "Wang Ping, as the commander, disobeys the military orders, the military stick will be fifty! As the general of the army, the Tujia not only persuades the commander, but also makes mistakes with the commander, and the military stick will be thirty! People come, pull them down and beat them!" As the lord, Ma Chao spoke,
Of course, Ma Chao had soldiers to execute, and none of the others in the house pleaded for mercy. Speaking of which, they all knew that his lord had been given a lighter punishment. After all, what Wang Ping and the others committed was, you should really talk about it, it could be big or small. But one thing is good, that is, his lord wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, which is the most important thing. Otherwise,
In the future, anyone who leads troops will be like Wang Ping. He relies on his contributions, and then takes it for granted that the enemy is not threatening, so he disobeys the military order. Then once or twice, there may not be too big problems, but three or five times, so how can there be no accident? Only by being careful can one make the ten thousand-year-old ship. If you are not careful, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later! Speaking of which, they think that Wang Ping is still young,
It's not enough to test something, otherwise, he would never do this. Even if it were Cui An, he wouldn't have done this. Therefore... no one has any opinions on his lord's punishment, and they can understand his lord. And indeed, it must be admitted that fortunately, our side broke Fancheng in the past few days, but what if our side didn't break the city, Wang Ping and his team brought the remaining seven or eight thousand people here. But in the same way, the coalition forces also got Fancheng in just two days.
So it's not a good thing. But it's okay, that's because we are lucky, and Wang Ping and the others are lucky, so that's why. Otherwise, it might not be so. At least when the coalition forces come, it will definitely not be so easy for us to destroy Fancheng so easily. Even if we may break the city in two or three days, it will turn into five or six days, but who can't do that?
Let the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army unite to fight to the death with our own side. If we fight to the death with their alliance before the city is broken, then it is hard to say what will happen in the end.
