Chapter 959 Zhang Lu's Identity Revealed
Three days later, Cao Cao's body almost recovered, and premature birth caused some bleeding, but under Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, this problem was not a problem.
"Don't you take a few more days off?" In the afternoon, Wang Yong came over and then brought afternoon tea.
"Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou, mainly Hanzhong matters need attention. The Taiwei helped to share some of them, but as a general, I can't help but pay attention." Cao Cao replied, "War is not a simple matter. Every time the Xuzhou Legion and Yanzhou Legion march and fight, it means that a large amount of food and supplies are consumed. Various verifications and applications for new materials will be sent to Xudu."
"Didn't it mean that the state where the army is located first and then reported to the court for reimbursement?" Wang Yong asked in return. After all, it would be a waste of time if it was reported layer by layer. Especially the front-line army would not be able to receive supplementary services.
"There is another month of autumn harvest, especially after fighting for so long, the situation in the two states is not optimistic." Cao Cao replied, "So we can only hope that we can allocate military rations from other states and counties, such as Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and even Jingzhou. For example, Sizhou, I just wrote a document, hoping that Sizhou would allocate a batch of grain to the Liangzhou army in Hanzhong, and we would also need a seal from the Taiwei and His Majesty to send it."
"The Hanzhong area is just a level of pressure? Is it just a batch of supplies a while ago..." Wang Yong felt very strange, why do he need to allocate additional food?
"The battle situation seemed to be stalemate. Zhang Lu seemed to use the barbarians in the mountains to quickly pass through the mountains on both sides of the Xigu and Ziwu Valley, but we were not familiar with that. After a few simple contacts, they had a victory or defeat, and it seemed that they had real fire. If they did not continue to advance at this time, the effect of the pressure could not be formed. If they could continue to advance..." Cao Cao was also having a headache.
"I guess the soldiers couldn't have a good rest." Wang Yong also began to understand how bad the situation was.
From Yongzhou to cross the Qinling Mountains and enter Hanzhong, the two main roads are Xigu and Ziwu Valley. There are other roads that pass by, either by Han River or Jingshan, but it is even more difficult.
"Learn Sun Quan, recruit local barbarians, and how about as a guide to help us deal with Zhang Lu?" Wang Yong thought for a while, "Sorry, I seem to be a little meddling."
He also said not to use his brain so much, but when he heard this, he subconsciously came up with an idea.
"I will tell you about this, and I am also planning to ask you what I mean." Cao Cao replied, "I will hold another meeting to discuss things later. It may be later to go back tonight, so you have to take care of me for the matter."
"It's also my child, so of course I will take good care of it." Wang Yong said with a smile.
An hour later, Cao Cao did hold a meeting. In addition to Guo Jia, the military advisor, there was also Tian Feng as the main staff officer. Cao Cao, Tian Feng, and Ju Su made a deal. After conquering Youzhou, he protected Yuan Shao's three children at the cost of the two of them, and they had to join their own command.
No matter what, it is better than just finding someone to marry. For both of them, life is really worse than death.
"Although it is feasible to recruit surrender, it seems that you can't be too hopeful. Zhang Lu uses the Five Dogs of Rice Sect to govern Hanzhong with his outstanding governance ability. Many of the barbarians around him are convinced by her, and many of them have joined the Five Dogs of Rice Sect. The barbarians may not be afraid of death, but are afraid of punishment from gods, so there is little possibility of betraying Zhang Lu..." Tian Feng thought for a while and replied.
With her and Ju Su, even if they were detained, they were mainly under house arrest. During that time, the two of them were bored and did put some effort into understanding the current situation of the court. It can be roughly inferred that the court's focus has been placed on Hanzhong recently.
"There is no one in this world who cannot be betrayed. It depends on how many chips you give." Guo Jia joked.
"Hmph..." Tian Feng stopped talking, feeling that Guo Jia was just mocking him.
"Fate, do you have a safer way?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia. Considering Guo Jia's identity, it is not impossible to understand the best way to deal with Zhang Lu.
"There is a shortcut that may ensure that we can successfully pass the Xigu and enter the Hanzhong range. At that time, we can cooperate with the surrender of the barbarians and successfully conquer Hanzhong." Guo Jia replied.
"Oh, what's the point of Guo Jijiu? I'm very curious too!" Tian Feng had no good impression of Guo's surname. In the past, Guo Tu was quite flattering and flattering under Yuan Shao. He had talent, but he had to flatter and strive for the position.
In short, Guo Jia seems to be like Guo Tu, both from the Guo family in Yingchuan.
"Yang Song, judging from the information, Yang Song is Zhang Lu's husband, but he cares more about his family, or his whole thoughts are all on her sister." Guo Jia said with great interest.
It’s nothing more than a sister-in-law. Everyone knows a little bit that in this world there are some existences who are particularly close to their parents and brothers and sisters. To be special, it is better to say that they are already close to pathological.
"So as long as you promise Yang Song enough benefits, he can sell Zhang Lu." Guo Jia replied.
"No wonder you said that just now..." Cao Cao understood. What she said just now turned out to be the basis for this.
Tian Feng was also a little embarrassed, thinking that Guo Jia was targeting him... Of course, maybe he targeted him by the way. So he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Is the news accurate?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't say this here. I also have another news, which may be the key to Zhang Lu's unwillingness to surrender. If used well, it may not be the key to recruiting surrender... It is precisely because of this news that Zhang Lu resists so stubbornly." Guo Jia replied.
"Let me tell me?" Cao Cao was a little curious.
"This news can only be told privately to you." Guo Jia blinked at Cao Cao.
"Okay, just say it in my ear." Cao Cao nodded.
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately came to her ear and whispered: "About thirty years ago, the three sisters Zhang Lu seemed to have left Bashu to travel around the world. It was also at that time that Zhang Jiao suddenly appeared and began to spread the Taiping Cult. I checked the teachings of Taiping Cult and the Five Dok Rice Cult, and there were many similarities. Of course, the academics of Taoism are actually similar."
"What you mean!" Cao Cao couldn't believe it, it was Mingming back then.
"The three of them were masked and preached, so no one had seen their true appearance. When the imperial court attacked the Taiping Cult, they relied on nothing more than the identification of the Yellow Turban generals, and the identification of an important person..." Guo Jia replied.
"Tang Zhou!" Cao Cao immediately thought of this person. After suing Ma Yuanyi, he followed the army and made meritorious service. He let him go after the war. After all, Liu Xie was missing at that time, who would care about him, a small person?
"As far as I know, Yan Pu, the counselor around Zhang Lu, may be the Tang Zhou of that year." Guo Jia gave the last blow.
