Although Cao Rui is not as good as Cao Cao, he can be regarded as a promising king. Together with his father and ancestors, he is also known as the third ancestor of Cao Wei. He sits in Jinan and handles government affairs with ease.
Jinan's rapid development and growth is inseparable from his efforts.
Even though Zhen Mi and Cao Pi were at odds with each other, they were still able to travel around Cao Wei's territory freely, and they all relied on Cao Rui's relationship.
Just when Zhen Mi returned from an outing outside the city and was about to return home.
The sound of galloping horses was heard in the distance. This attracted everyone's attention,
On the streets of the prosperous city, only those who rush to deliver emergency military reports can ride horses on the rampage. If a dandy rides a horse without authorization and hurts someone, the law will severely punish him.
Of course, whether the severe punishments stipulated in the law can be implemented is another question, but the one who dares to gallop around Cao Rui's palace at this time must be the imperial post horse.
"Urgent military information! Report to His Highness King Qi quickly..."
The mounted spy had an anxious and anxious look on his face. He turned over and dismounted as he rushed to the gate of the palace. He had a strong body and was a warrior who had practiced martial arts to the fourth level and developed Gang Qi. In order to welcome Zhen Mi back to the palace, many servants had gathered in front of the palace, including the palace officials. After hearing the words "urgent military information", he also knew what to do and immediately informed Zhen Mi on the carriage. crime.
He quickly took the spies through the side door and rushed to the palace hall.
Cao Rui, King of Qi, attends Lin Linmin's affairs in the main hall every day and oversees the military and civilian affairs of Jinan and other places. Wait until the spies disappear.
The carriage returned to the palace normally, and only after entering the palace did Zhen Mi reveal her true appearance! The stunning cheeks seemed to be covered with a light mist, as if a goddess had come to earth, with a fairy-like temperament.
The Luo Shen Fu that Cao Zijian used to describe his sister-in-law is indeed true. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, as misty as the snow falling on the flowing wind. Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising as the morning glow; looking at it by force, it is as bright as a flower. Out of Lubo.
This kind of beautiful appearance and charm can make countless people obsessed with it.
Only Cao Pi could resist the attraction of this charm, and even cruelly sent him to death... Zhen Mi waved her hand, called the maid, and said: "Go and ask, see what happened, where is the emergency?" Military situation."
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Cao Wei inherited the Han law and attached great importance to filial piety. Therefore, the Cao Wei Dynasty did not have rules such as the harem not being allowed to interfere in politics.
If it were placed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhen Mi's sending people to inquire was to spy on important military and state matters, and he must be thrown into the cold palace to reflect for decades.
"promise!"
The maid who was called took the order and went to inquire about the news.
Soon, the maid returned. She did not return alone, but followed a young man in black robe. This young man in black was the historical Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui.
When Cao Cao went to the east, he also followed the army. After being favored by Cao Cao, he sat in Jinan and was almost able to compete with Cao Pi.
"Mother!"
Cao Rui looked a little bad at the moment and frowned. After seeing Zhen Mi, his expression relaxed a little, but his face was still gloomy.
He and Zhen Mi stood together, looking like siblings rather than mother and son.
The two of them did not appear together when they came to the world of China, and they were at different time points.
However, when Zhen Mi arrived, she had already given birth to the other party. For Zhen Mi, it was just that her child had grown up to seven or eight years in an instant. After such a long time, both parties had adapted to the current situation.
"Cao Ren and Xiahou are still incompetent, and Dingtao's army was defeated by the Xia Lord himself. Now the Xia Lord has sent his troops to attack Qingzhou. The Xia army came along the river, and Jinan was the first to bear the brunt."
"Just in case, the queen mother should leave Jinan for safety first. I will mobilize five hundred elite soldiers, as well as the royal family generals, to protect the queen mother and go north to Linyi..."
Cao Rui said in a deep voice.
Although he looks like a young man, he is still young and mature.
Historically, when a young man ascended the throne, Sun Quan took the opportunity to attack as soon as he took the throne. The Qiang people in Xiping County also launched a rebellion.
As a result, Cao Rui handled matters in an orderly manner, managed the outside world and kept the internal affairs in check, quickly stabilized the court, and successfully took over the power of the court.
he is
After arriving in the world of China, he quickly grew into a complete body with a little training. He has profound insights into both internal affairs and military affairs. This is why Cao Cao admired him and named him King of Qi.
At this time, Daxia's soldiers and horses were about to be overwhelmed, and the frontline army was defeated. When others heard about these situations, they would become panicked and unable to control themselves, but Cao Rui was still able to stabilize his emotions and find a way to deal with it. Before dealing with Xia Jun, Cao Rui must first send Zhen Mi to a safe place.
In this way, Cao Rui can avoid worries.
"Leave Jinan to take refuge? Has the matter reached this point?"
Zhen Mi couldn't believe it. Since the rise of Cao Wei, he has defeated various powerful enemies to seize half of the Central Plains, and even seized the land of Qingqi as his rear. The momentum is great.
Not long after the annexation of Gao Qi, the Cao Wei Dynasty turned around and suffered repeated defeats on the front line. First it lost its foundation in Bianliang, and now it cannot even protect Jinan and Qingzhou.
Could it be said that Cao Wei is exhausted?
Cao Rui sighed secretly, called the officials of the palace, and immediately mobilized five hundred elite soldiers. He also called the maids and palace maids to pack their bags.
"Yuan Zhong, what about you? Do you want to stay in Jinan alone?"
"There are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jinan. If Lord Xia really leads the army in person, how can these soldiers and horses alone be enough? You can also come out of the city with me to escape. As you said, the Xia army's goal is Qingzhou, not Stay longer in Jinan..."
Zhen Mi is not a demented scholar who grew up in the harem, but has been extremely intelligent since she was a child. She can see the subtle things and have her own opinions even on major military and state affairs.
She was well aware of the number and strength of Jinan's troops.
Cao Rui glanced at his mother and said, "I am the King of Qi who guards Jinan. How can I escape? If the child really behaves like this, how can he have the face to gain a foothold in the world if word spreads?" "But please don't worry, my mother, the child also Knowing how powerful Xia Jun is, he will not really defend the city without knowing how to adapt."
Hearing this, Zhen Mi immediately understood what he was thinking.
As the King of Qi, Cao Rui is still the third heir valued by Cao Cao. If he flees after hearing the name of Xia Jun, then the foundation of his reputation in Cao Wei will inevitably collapse in one day.
He can be defeated, and there is no problem in abandoning the city and breaking out after the defeat, but he must not abandon the city before the enemy arrives.
With Cao Rui's current strength.
As long as he prepares in advance and hides carefully after the defeat, his life will not be greatly threatened. After all, the Xia army's goal is Qingzhou, and it is impossible to stop in Jinan for a long time and count all the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. .
Zhen Mi saw that the other party was determined and could no longer persuade her. She turned her starry eyes and suppressed the worries in her heart.
boom
The five-toothed giant ship was rampaging on the water of the ancient Yellow River Road. The continuous giant ships could not be seen to the side at a glance. However, any small boat blocking the front or the water monsters causing wind and waves were directly crushed by the giant ship.
In the land of Qingqi, there were successive armies fighting each other. A few years after settling down, after the Cao Wei Dynasty established its foothold here, its main task was to reclaim farmland and farm as much as possible to ensure the supply of food and grass for the army.
There is no time to control the monsters and beasts in the mountains, forests and rivers.
Around the mountains and forests, ferocious monsters often come down from the mountains to eat people. In the rivers, there are also a large number of monsters in the water that stir up wind and waves and capsize ferries. Whether in the mountains, forests or in the water, all monsters and monsters have a wild and unruly nature.
Even if Xia Jun's huge ships pass by, there are still monsters and spirits who dare to make trouble. Wen Yang and Zhang Hao stood on a giant ship at the front, holding dragon bone bows in their hands, their eyes as sharp as lightning. Whenever a monster caused a storm, the two of them would immediately bend their bows and draw arrows to kill them. In the distance on the water, waves rolled.
Wen Yang's eyes moved slightly, and the dragon bone bow was pulled up at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, a sharp arrow engraved with armor-piercing, sharp, and soul-destroying curses disappeared in mid-air.
After the sharp arrow disappeared, a strange roar came from mid-air.
And in the waves in the distance, a shrill roar of pain was heard at the same time. A stream of blood was quickly brought out by the waves, and a black fish several feet long floated up with its white belly turned over.
"A seventh-level strange beast dares to make trouble in front of a large army. It is simply seeking death!" A cold look appeared on Wen Yang's face.
At this time, with a few cheers, several speedboats rushed out quickly, tied the black fish's body with a rope, and pulled it onto the boat with force. The seventh-level alien beast's energy and blood were powerful, and it was a rare tonic.
When Wenyang hunts a strange beast, the soldiers under his command can also take advantage of it. With the vitality and blood greatly replenished, the strength of the soldiers at level 4 and below can be increased by half a level.
"You got the upper hand again!"
Zhang Hao put down the dragon bone bow with some annoyance and said: "General Wen is so good at archery. In my opinion, he should serve in the Demon Suppression Department. He can not only kill monsters and guard one side, but also accumulate military merits. The chance of meritorious service is better than that on the battlefield." More!"
Wen Yang looked at him and smiled: "Brother Zhang is right. After this battle is over, why don't you follow me into the Demon Suppression Division?"
Zhang Hao suddenly stopped talking.
The Demon Suppression Division is an office directly under the emperor of Daxia, and is responsible for killing demons. It sounds very good, as it can not only obtain a large amount of training resources, but also accumulate merit.
The monsters and beasts of the Great Xia Dynasty have been continuously searched and strangled by the Monster Suppression Department over the years. The monsters with higher spirituality have long been hiding in the mountains, and the dragons and monsters in the water do not dare to cause trouble rashly. Deal with boats on the river.
The wildness and unruliness in them have long been eliminated.
These are all the achievements of the Demon Suppression Division, but going to the Demon Suppression Division means traveling around all year round. If you accidentally encounter a demon beast at the heaven level, your life may even be in danger.
Moreover, the Demon Suppression Division is a small-scale elite cooperation, which is not completely consistent with the military methods. When the generals stay here, in addition to honing their martial arts and magical powers, the evil energy they draw is far less than that of the battlefield.
Only the battlefield is the destination of military commanders.
The monsters and beasts in the Yellow River waterway are not really strong-willed. Every time they pass through a section of the river, only a few monsters dare to show their heads. The others do not dare to cause trouble again when they see the same kind being shot and killed easily.
"Look at the map. Changqing is a hundred miles ahead...the army is not far from Jinan!" Wen Yang looked at the terrain on both sides of the strait and took out a simple map from his arms.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "It is said that the person who is in charge of Jinan is Cao Rui, King of Qi of Wei State. I wonder if Cao Rui will abandon the city and leave immediately after knowing the news about our army?"
When Wen Yang heard Cao Rui's name, his eyes were a little complicated.
Before coming to China, he and his father were both ministers of Cao Wei. He was born during the last two years of Cao Rui's reign as emperor. They and his son were attached to Cao Shuang and were considered loyal ministers of Cao Wei. But the past is like smoke. When I think of the past, it seems that many years have passed, and the experience of serving in Cao Wei has become a thing of the past.
Now their father and son are loyal ministers and good generals of the Great Xia Dynasty and have nothing to do with Cao Wei. "Cao Rui... with his character, he shouldn't run away. At least he will lead troops to defend the city and fight with our army for a while before escaping!"
Wen Yang said calmly.
He was not just a man who led the army based on his bravery and bravery. In history, he defeated Xianbei in the west and conquered hundreds of thousands of people, which shocked the world. He was a rare top general in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Coupled with his understanding of Cao Wei, it was easy to make a judgment.
"If this is the best, if I am not afraid that he will not show up, but I am afraid that he will leave without a fight, I will ask your Majesty for your order and rush to Jinan to capture Cao Rui alive!"
Zhang Hao was gearing up and said happily.
Hearing this, Wen Yang couldn't help but look at him again.
The warship is extremely fast.
When passing through Changqing, they didn't stop at all. They didn't even make any move to separate their troops and land to attack the city. They just crossed here and went straight to Jinan.
No one is worried about being too aggressive and being taken back by the enemy.
Because Cao Wei's main force was either in the Central Plains or had been defeated and captured, the total number of soldiers left to guard Jinan and Qingzhou was only a hundred thousand.
These soldiers and horses also need to be stationed in various places, and their strength is dispersed. It is impossible to pose much threat to Xia Jun.
The current situation is that Wang Jing is taking advantage of the opportunity to steal Cao Cao's retreat.
As long as Jinan and Qingzhou are captured, Cao Cao will become a tree without roots and water without a source, and most of the country's destiny will be cut off directly.
think
If you want to survive, you may have to abandon your inheritance and join others.
Woohoo!
Beacon towers appeared on the river bank in the far distance. After seeing the Xia army warships appeared, smoke rose from the beacon towers into the sky, warning Jinan City.
When Wang Jing saw this scene, his expression did not change at all.
Although he only brought 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses this time, they were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles, and there were generals leading the troops... The situation in Jinan City had been brought to him by spies from the Military Intelligence Department. With only 30,000 soldiers and horses, facing the Xia army, they were like mantises acting as chariots.
"Send the order, with Wen Yang and Zhang Hao as the vanguard, lead the troops and horses of our headquarters to attack Jinan, and let me add, we must fight quickly!"
Wang Jing ordered in a deep voice.
Then he looked at Yang Kan and Yang Dayan who were serving beside him, and ordered: "Yang Dayan, lead your cavalry to sweep the surrounding areas to prevent Cao Rui from escaping."
Yang Da's eyes brightened and he respectfully accepted the order.
Although there was no success in breaking the city this time, if Cao Rui was captured outside, it would still be a great achievement... As for whether Cao Rui would break through and leave, well, any normal person would never think of relying on 30,000 troops. Confront Daxia's elite army.
Cao Rui has a high chance of breaking out of the encirclement, and there is also a high possibility of hiding in the city.
It all depends on what the other person thinks about this kind of thing.
