Text Chapter 1043: Cao Yi¡¯s escape route

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "I'm running under Cao Ge, the first assistant, and I've seen General Lou Xiang!" The visitor is an old man in his early fifties, with a long and narrow face, and a particularly conspicuous hooked nose. He looks plainly dressed, but it's just the clothes he made.  The materials provided were probably a month's living expenses for a commoner. He was said to be a servant, but when he stood in front of Lou Xiang, he acted calmly. He was obviously used to seeing big shots.

    In the past, Lou Xiang was really not a big shot. A local general would not be able to enter Cao Yi's eyes anyway, but it is different now. There is a shortage of major generals in Shangjing, and Lou Xiang's two men  Soldiers who have experienced some wars should not be underestimated. Now Lou Xiang has become an important figure in the capital.

    "Mr. Cao, please take a seat. I wonder what the chief minister's orders are?" Lou Xiang waved his hand and pointed to the chair in front of him.

    Cao Ge did not sit down, but looked at Lou Xiang with a smile. Just because of his appearance, the smile seemed a bit sinister, which made Lou Xiang extremely unhappy. "General Lou must have received the Queen Mother's order, right?"

    "Of course, the Chief Assistant should know about these things earlier than me, right?" Lou Xiang said coldly.

    "That's right, that's why we have my Ningxiang team!" Cao Ge said.

    "What? Does Mr. Chief Assistant have other plans?" A warning sign arose in Lou Xiang's heart.

    ¡°I wonder what General Lou¡¯s plan is? Send troops to rescue Su Can?¡± Cao Ge asked.

    "Lou eats Dai Viet's royal food, so he naturally acts as a court and shares the Queen Mother's worries." Lou Xiang clasped his fists in his hands and arched his head towards the capital, saying.

    Cao Ge chuckled.

    ¡°What¡¯s so funny about this?¡± Lou Xiang said angrily.

    "If it is true as General Lou said, then there will be no defeat of Luzhou and no retreat of Anlu, General Lou!" Cao Ge said loudly.

    Lou Xiang put his hand on the handle of the knife and looked at Cao Ge, wishing he could cut this annoying face in half with one knife. But his reason told him that he must not do this. Cao Ge must have followed Cao Yi's wishes.  , If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, but if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Maybe Cao Yi has something else to pay attention to. As long as he still has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he will not be afraid of anyone plotting against him.

    "The Chief Assistant didn't ask you to come here to laugh at me, right? If that's the case, if I chop off your head and send it to the Chief Assistant, I'm afraid the Chief Assistant won't say anything, right?" Lou Xiang  Coldly and authentically.

    Cao Ge¡¯s laughter stopped suddenly. He looked at Lou Xiang in front of him. This man was no longer a small general. Now he had the ability to influence the entire situation in Beijing.

    "The chief assistant asked me to come over to see the general in order to save the general's life."

    "Oh, save my life? I want to hear the truth? I wonder who wants my life?" Lou Xiang leaned back and looked at Cao Ge sarcastically.

    "Are you planning to send troops to your hometown to help Su Can break through the siege?" Cao Ge said.

    "That's exactly what we're planning to do!"

    "If this is the case, General Lou will die!"

    "It's nonsense. The main force of the Northern Expedition Army has not yet arrived in Shangjing. There are only one or two battle camps. If we attack at this time, there is no hope of rescuing General Su Can. If we hesitate again, there will be no chance. Chief Assistant  As the most important member of the imperial court, why do you speak like this?"

    Cao Ge had a sneer on his face, "General Lou, now the Northern Expeditionary Army has gathered tens of thousands of cavalry in the direction of Shangjing, as well as Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp. Blocking Su Can's path is the Lucheng Camp, which ranks first in the field of the Northern Expeditionary Army.  , Not to mention General Lou, whether you can escort him out, even if you can escort him out, the more than 100 miles from Linxiang to Shangjing, will the tens of thousands of cavalry eat shit?"

    "Okay, let's take another ten thousand steps back and say, you took Su Can back and entered Shangjing City. At that time, how many troops did you, General Lou, still have? Does Shangjing still need you? Does the Queen Mother still need you? Can you and  Can Qin Sheng compete with Su Can? At that time, I'm afraid someone will remember what General Lou did before, right? General of the auxiliary country? He was also crowned king, and the mirror is like a flower in the moon? General Lou, don't forget, Dai Viet has been the most famous several times.  All the tragic defeats are inseparable from you. When I need you, I will reward you heavily. When I don¡¯t need you, do I need any other reason to kill you?"

    Lou Xiang was dripping with cold sweat on his back. He was originally a soft-hearted guy. Otherwise, he would not have been deceived so miserably by Shewenzhuang.

    "What does Mr. Shouxu mean?"

    "The Chief Assistant asked Cao to show General Lou a clear path."

    "Where is the road?"

    "Since General Lou has retreated all the way from Luzhou to Shangjing, he might as well continue his retreat!" Cao Ge said with a smile.

    "Retreat?"

    "That's right, then retreat, all the way to Shuzhou!" Cao Ge looked at Lou Xiang and said with a smile: "Xie An is in charge of Shuzhou now. The Chief Assistant has already contacted Xie An, and Shuzhou will become ours."  Haven, as a general, you must also know that the terrain of Shuzhou can be said to be that one man can control it, and no one can open it!"He looked at Cao Ge in confusion, "What good will it do to Mr. Chief Assistant to do this?"

    "Of course there are benefits!" Cao Ge said with a smile: "As long as General Lou is willing to cooperate, everyone will benefit."

    "Come and listen!"

    "Very good, General Lou. According to the estimation of the chief assistant, Shangjing cannot be saved. Qin Sheng, with such a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, is no match for the wolf-like and tiger-like Northern Expeditionary Army. Even if Su Can enters Shangjing, what will he do?  ?Hundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounded the capital and cut off all supplies from outside. There are millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital. Even if the capital has abundant reserves, how much can it sustain? The defeat is certain. Even gods descending to earth cannot save the capital.  Yes. So, we have to take another path."

    "Go to Shuzhou!"

    "Yes, go to Shuzhou." Cao Ge nodded vigorously, "To tell you the truth, General Lou, after the fall of Tongzhou, the Cao family and the Wang family began to arrange for the direct family members to evacuate to Shuzhou, and a large amount of wealth also began to be concentrated in Shuzhou, but  The Northern Expeditionary Army arrived too quickly, and there are still some people who have not gone through. General Lou, do you understand what I mean?"

    "That is to say, I will protect these people from entering Shuzhou."

    "You can't say that, General Lou. Now Shuzhou is empty. There are not many elite troops. A large number of elite troops have been consumed by the Northern Army. Your 20,000 soldiers are nothing outside, but when you enter Shuzhou, they are nothing."  It is a powerful force. After the first assistant, Wang Shangshu and others enter Shu in the future, they will be guests. The so-called strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. Without soldiers in hand, it will be miserable. Therefore, the first assistant wants to form an alliance with General Lou and join the army together.  Shu, at that time, everyone will be a guest. In order to bargain with the host, of course you must have strength."

    Lou Xiang sneered, "After all, you still need me to escort you, what's the benefit of me?"

    "The benefits are obvious. First, if you don't take this road, your destruction is imminent. Second, after entering Shu in the future, the Cao and Wang families will not have enough troops. They can only rely on you, General Lou. With the strength of the Cao and Wang families,  We can also provide you with a supply of military supplies. When the time comes to establish a firm foothold, who will make the final decision in Shuzhou?" Cao Ge said with a smile.

    Lou Xiang touched his chin, "It sounds like a good idea, but there is one thing. Even if we enter Shuzhou, we are still alone. If Yun Zhao dominates the world, how can he let Shuzhou go?"

    "Occupying Shuzhou is only the first step!" Cao Ge said: "Even if Yun Zhao captures Shangjing, it will take time to clean up this mess. It will take time to pacify the world and order the nine states. Shuzhou is dangerous, as long as there is time  , we can arrange it to be impregnable. If Yun Zhao wants to take it down, he will have to pay a huge price. At this time, Yun Zhao has already determined the world. How much motivation do his generals have to fight for their lives? He  Do the soldiers under his command have the same enthusiasm as before? Therefore, at that time, Yun Zhao's biggest possibility is to recruit soldiers, and if we recruit soldiers, naturally the deeper our capital is, the more bargaining capital we will have. When the time comes, we can win a hearing  It¡¯s not impossible to create a state within a state even if you don¡¯t listen to propaganda!¡±

    Hearing this, Lou Xiang couldn't help but feel excited.

    "At that time, Shuzhou will naturally respect the chief minister, but you, General Lou, can you still hold the position of military marshal? Didn't you retreat all the way from Luzhou here just to fight for such a future?  Huh? Whether it is the general of Dai Viet's auxiliary country or the prince, they are like moon in the water and flowers in the mirror. Wearing it on the head will only hasten death, but the marshal of Shuzhou soldiers and horses promised to you by the chief auxiliary can do it.  It can be truly fulfilled. It can ensure that your Lou family will be rich and prosperous for generations to come."

    "It's a good idea, but I want to know that the Chief Minister, Wang Shangshu and others are in the capital. It is impossible for the Queen Mother not to notice them. How can they escape?" Lou Xiang asked.

    "The chief minister and others can transfer so much wealth from Shangjing to Shuzhou in a short period of time, why can't they get away easily?" Cao Ge sneered.

    Lou Xiang nodded, "The last question is, why does Xie An from Shuzhou listen to you? Xie Shilin can't go back. Wouldn't it be good for Xie An to be the sole leader in Shuzhou? All these things you said, Xie An alone  Can¡¯t it be done?¡±

    "It's precisely because he couldn't do it that the chief minister hit it off with him. Xie An is just a branch of the Xie family. After escaping from the Central Plains, he took advantage of Xie Shilin's repeated defeats and never had the possibility of returning to Shuzhou.  Many members of the clan have lost their high positions, and the officials below are also in a turbulent mood. He needs capable foreign aid to help him stabilize his rule, so he has to cooperate with us."

    "This is really inviting the wolf into the house!" Lou Xiang said with a smile.

    Cao Ge chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal, we just take what we need. General Lou, what do you think?"

    Lou Xiang stretched out a hand, "Happy cooperation, let Qin Rouniang's auxiliary general go to hell!"

    Holding both hands tightly together, "In this case, I will go back and report to the Chief Assistant. I think that at this time, the last batch of people from the Cao Mansion to evacuate should be able to arrive at Ningxiang General Lou soon.  After these people, General Lou can set off, and at the border of Shuzhou, the Chief Assistant has arranged manpower in advance to respond."

    "Chief AssistantHave you already expected that I would agree?" Lou Xiang asked.

    "Of course, the chief assistant master is strategizing, how can he be compared to ordinary people like us!" Cao Ge said with a smile. "Farewell!"
