"Your Majesty, good news came from the camp on the east road!"
While Wang Jing was handling government affairs, Liu Bowen quickly walked into the hall with a smile on his face.
Although when Cao Cao fell, they all knew the news through celestial phenomena.
But all they knew was the information about Cao Cao's fall. They were not clear about the specific battle reports of the East Road camp and how many generals and soldiers were captured.
At this time, after counting and registering, the specific battle report of the East Road camp was transmitted.
Wang Jing took the good news and took a look at it. After seeing that Dian, Wei, Xu and Chu had successfully broken through the encirclement and defected to Liu Xiu, he frowned subconsciously.
】
These two people are as powerful generals as Guan and Zhang.
After defecting to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu could make up for most of his previous losses. The two heavenly generals were comparable to a hundred thousand specially trained elites.
However, after seeing the battle report later, Wang Jing's expression softened a lot.
Except for the two heavenly realms, the famous ministers and generals of the Cao Wei Dynasty were almost wiped out.
Among them, the generals of Xiahou and Cao basically fought to the death and refused to surrender.
Except for one of the generals named Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Xu Huang, who died, they were all captured and sent to Bianliang to await his disposal.
During the battle, the ninth-level famous generals were unable to escape, and it was even more difficult for those famous officials who practiced other methods to break out. Cheng Yu, Zhang Bin and others were also escorted to Bianliang.
However, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia did not show any trace. According to Wei Rui's inference, these two people should have used the method of confusing the real with the fake to hide and escape. However, they did not defect to the Eastern Han Dynasty like Dian and Wei.
Because these top smart people could see that the Eastern Han Dynasty still seemed to maintain a strong military force, but it was rapidly weakening after being hit by the Xia army.
Moreover, there is almost no solution to the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Who allowed him to occupy the richest and most fertile land in the Central Plains?
The Daxia Dynasty wanted to attack him if he went north, and if Li Tang went south, he would also attack him. There are strong enemies in the north and south, and the growing space is almost blocked.
"Pass the message to spread the news that Cao Cao was defeated and killed, and that the army was defeated and annihilated, so that those wealthy families know what is the general trend, and it is not too late to defect to our court in time."
Wang Jingdan said calmly.
Yu Yunwen, who was assisting in handling government affairs at the corner of the hall, immediately wrote the edict.
After this edict was issued, the powerful families in Cao Wei who were unwilling to submit to the powerful locals in Daxia were interrupted.
If originally only 60% were willing to surrender to Daxia, then after the news of Cao Cao's defeat and death came out, this proportion could increase to more than 80%.
Cao Cao is the soul of the Cao Wei Dynasty. Cao Pi seems to be the founding leader, but in fact no one regards him as the founding emperor who founded Cao Wei. The prestige is far less than that of his father.
"By the way, how's it going with Cao Ren?"
Wang Jing suddenly thought that when he led his army to capture Dingtao, Cao Ren's troops were trapped in Shangqiu on the south bank of the Yellow River, so he left Lu Kang to lead his troops to contend with them.
Now that the Cao Wei Dynasty collapsed, Cao Ren's troops were completely alone, and the so-called support of Cao Cao's breakout became empty talk.
There is also Gao Aocao beside Cao Ren. If they fight for their lives, the Xia army will also lose more soldiers and horses.
Liu Bowen thought for a moment, and many military information from Dingtao appeared in his mind.
These military information are classified as secondary. Wang Jing usually looks at the important military information in the first sequence, and only glances at the secondary military information occasionally. Officials like Liu Bowen and Yu Yunwen could not relax at all.
Don't dare to miss any kind of military situation.
"Not long ago, General Lu Kang sent a military report that Cao Ren led his troops to the west and there were signs of attacking Bianliang... The movements of Cao Ren's troops after Cao Cao's fall have not been reported to Dingtao."
"However, I deduce that although Cao Ren has the talent of a general, he cannot maintain the morale of the army at all when he has no backup, food and grass, and is surrounded by our army. Even if General Lu Kang does not take any action, Cao Ren's troops will not be able to maintain the morale of the army. It will disintegrate quickly!"
Liu Bowen said.
"Let Wei Rui lead his troops to be on guard in case Cao Ren abandons his army and dispatch a small number of elites to raid Bianliang! By the way, I will write a letter myself and ask Lu Kang to hand it over to Cao Ren and Gao Aocao."
"Especially Gao Aocao, he is one of the rare powerful generals in China. If he can be recruited to surrender, he must not be missed!"
Even that emperor would not dislike having so many generals under his command.
Especially for a powerful general like Gao Aocao, having one more is equivalent to having a huge bargaining chip for the family.
Liu Bowen nodded repeatedly, and he also spoke highly of Gao Aocao.
Although this general is a bit arrogant, he still retains the cruelty and violence from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has big problems with his character.
But he is powerful and powerful, and one handsome man can cover up all his ugliness. His personal strength alone can make people ignore his shortcomings.
As for whether Gao Aocao will be unruly after he surrenders... Liu Bowen is not worried. His Majesty can even take Lu Bu under his command, let alone Gao Aocao.
"I suggest that we ask General Murong Shaozong to write a letter and persuade Gao Aocao together..."
Liu Bowen also added a suggestion.
Murong Shaozong and Gao Aocao were both ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty before. I heard that they had some conflicts, so they should have some friendship.
Acting with emotion and understanding with reason, coupled with realistic threats, I am not afraid that Gao Aocao will not submit. His family papers are still in Wang Jing's hands.
…
In Jinan City, in a remote courtyard.
Cao Rui's face was a little pale, and he was sitting on the stone bench in the yard in a daze. The Cao Wei Dynasty collapsed too fast. First, Jinan was destroyed, and then Qingzhou was destroyed.
At this time, Cao Rui did not feel despair, because the elite army led by his grandfather Cao Cao was still outside, and most of the Qingqi land did not sincerely defect to the Xia army.
If there is a chance, when my grandfather returns with his army, there is still hope of reviving the situation.
But the strange situation between heaven and earth not long ago made his heart completely cold and he felt a little confused.
No matter what kind of person he is, even a hero like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, when faced with such a situation where no hope can be seen, he will be at a loss and not know what to do next.
People with strong minds can quickly accept reality and find a way out as quickly as possible.
Cao Rui's character is quite strong and he still needs some time to calm down.
On the street outside, the voice of the sergeant shouting could be faintly heard. If you listened carefully, it seemed to be an edict issued by Lord Xia. The soldiers with loud voices were shouting loudly.
Promote the news that Cao Cao was defeated and his army was defeated, including the news that Xia Houyuan, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun and other generals were killed in battle.
"This is using my grandfather's reputation to frighten disobedience!"
When Cao Rui heard the sound coming from outside, he clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth almost broke.
He wanted revenge, but he didn't know what to do to vent the hatred in his heart. He had no generals, soldiers, or civil and military ministers to serve as his wings. With his own ability alone, he could at best be considered an ordinary ninth level.
After the fall of Cao Wei, he no longer had the blessing of Qi and sufficient training resources. It was ten times more difficult to become stronger than before.
Just when his face was ugly and his mind was spinning.
I don’t know when the surroundings of this courtyard became very quiet, and even the sounds on the streets in the distance gradually became weaker.
After all, Cao Rui is not a general who personally leads troops in battle, and his sense of smell is not that keen.
When the voices of the people on the street became sparse in the distance, Cao Ruicai was suddenly startled and felt something was wrong.
"not good!"
Cao Rui picked up his sword and jumped toward a wall behind the courtyard that seemed to be about to collapse.
After the Xia army took over Jinan City, the city's magic circle was activated, and anyone with evil intentions who dared to emit a ninth-level aura in the city would be suppressed.
As long as the city formation is not broken, the ninth-level powerhouse does not dare to leak his aura rashly.
Cao Rui obviously knew this too. So I dare not use my full strength.
Buzz!
While Cao Rui was flying, there was a buzz around the house, and hundreds of elite soldiers formed a formation holding a God-breaking crossbow in one hand and a short spear in the other.
These soldiers are all warriors of the fourth level and above. Their blood and energy alone are equivalent to an army formation of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
At the same time, a translucent spiritual net appeared in mid-air, covering Cao Rui's head.
"Cao Rui, I finally found you!"
The general who came with the elite to round up was Yang Dayan.
He saw Cao Rui not far away, and a smile appeared on his face!
Since Cao Rui disappeared, he has never given up searching. He felt that Cao Rui might still be in Jinan City, otherwise, there would be traces of him outside.
During this time, he personally led people to quietly search the entire city.
I specifically looked for those courtyards where people didn't go out often, and also contacted many aristocratic families in Jinan City, and finally found some clues.
Uh-huh! The sword light rose into the sky like a dragon, but the sword light fell into the spiritual net, but did not tear it apart.
Cao Rui's swordsmanship was far inferior to that of his father Cao Pi. He shot continuously, but felt the void was thick and his own speed instantly dropped several times.
"Get down here!"
Yang Dayan let out a low shout, and his tyrannical energy and blood energy exploded, suddenly appearing in mid-air,
With a move, dark clouds fell from the sky, directly blasting Cao Rui into the encirclement.
Peng, a muffled sound.
Under the suppression of the city formation, the vitality of heaven and earth did not fluctuate. Cao Rui only made a pit of about ten feet on the ground, and not a single house collapsed.
"Get it for me!"
Yang Dayan gave the order, and two personal guards immediately ran out and tied up Cao Rui with ropes, who was dizzy and had blood on his face.
…
One day later.
In the Jinan Palace, Wang Jing handled some government affairs and looked at the military information sent back by the Military Intelligence Department. At this time, he already knew about Yang Su and Zhang Xutuo's raid on Xuanyuan Pass.
The flying boat raided and captured Xiongguan. He had already expected these things, so he was not too surprised.
However, after the Feizhou was revealed, both Daxia and Li Tang had to speed up their strategy. Before other dynasties could develop the Feizhou, the two forces would have a huge advantage.
Especially when the flying boat has just appeared and other forces have not yet reacted, the advantage is greatest.
"Within the next few days, the situation in Hebei will inevitably change drastically!"
Wang Jing reasoned secretly.
This is very obvious. The troops led by Li Ji have retreated to the capital of Ran Wei. Li Mu Lianpo's supply line has been extended extremely long. Li Tang's strategy of luring the enemy deep has been a great success.
Maybe by this time, Li Tang's elite troops had crossed the Taihang Mountains and captured the pass between Hebei and Youzhou.
If Li Tang's generals were brave enough and had enough soldiers and horses, it would be possible to directly attack Youzhou City.
In Wang Jing's mind, there will be no surprises in the development of the situation in Hebei. Zhu Di of the Northern Ming Dynasty was the same as Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they were both talented and resourceful, it was difficult to make a comeback when faced with unreasonable dimensionality reduction attacks.
At this moment.
A chamberlain walked in gently and reported to Wang Jing.
"Want to dance for me?"
Wang Jing's eyes moved, he seemed to be smiling, and he immediately said: "Let them come in, I want to see what kind of dance they are going to perform."
He got up and came to a large hall.
Many maids rushed to tidy up the main hall before the emperor's arrival. By the time Wang Jing came in, the main hall had been decorated.
After Wang Jing took his seat.
Sixteen pretty girls in white white dresses came... The many aristocratic families who gathered in Jinan City did not know what news they had heard, and they used more than a dozen legitimate daughters from aristocratic families to act as dancers to perform dances for the emperor. . express their surrender.
Where there is dancing, there is naturally music. Accompanied by Qingyue's palace music, more than a dozen girls dance gracefully.
The woman in the middle has a veil on her face, and her figure is particularly outstanding. She does not reveal her appearance. Just because of her speedy body and erratic fairy posture, people can't bear to move their eyes away.
"is her?"
Wang Jing recognized her identity the moment he saw her. He waved and called the chamberlain over, "Isn't Zhen Mi unwilling to enter the palace? How come she has become a dancer?"
The chamberlain has been following Wang Jing for many years and has gained some of Wang Jing's trust.
Without his nod, the woman whose identity is unknown would not be able to enter the palace.
He said softly: "Your Majesty, General Yang Dayan captured Cao Rui yesterday and forced him into a cell. Madam Zhen must have heard the news, so she took the initiative to find the slave and said that she was willing to enter the palace to perform a dance for Your Majesty..."
Wang Jing suddenly realized that he was sacrificing himself for his son.
He hasn't said that yet, madam, you don't want anything to happen to your son.
In fact, after Zhen Mi returned to Jinan, she was destined to be included in Wang Jing's harem... The name of Luo Shen will be left in history. If she misses it, Wang Jing will definitely have regrets in his heart.
As an emperor, he speaks of the constitution, controls boundless power, and enjoys endless beauty. The seemingly lustful Qin Shihuang had thousands of women in his harem.
Wang Jing, the emperor of Great Xia, would naturally not wrong himself.
As long as a human being has desires, it is enough as long as they are not excessive and indulgent.
Wang Jing has a sense of restraint, but he will never be like many time-traveling protagonists in the source world, who clearly hold the power and are surrounded by many beauties, but still shout the slogan of only taking one scoop of weak water.
There are even people who act as living eunuchs...
Human relations are the avenue of heaven and earth! Especially an emperor like Wang Jing, who has almost no clan, wants to strengthen the bloodline of his descendants to serve as his wings.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also had a weak clan, so he took in dozens of concubines and gave birth to twenty-six sons and sixteen daughters.
Compared with him, Wang Jing is pretty bad.
