Chapter 202
"You can't kill them, you can't let them go, can you let them eat and drink in Chengdu for nothing?" Zhang Fei immediately questioned Zhuge Liang and Fazheng.
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "This is Chao Rui's yang scheme, just like when Guan Yu returned to Xinye City
!" "Hey!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh.
Back then, Cao Cao let go of Guan Yu when he had absolute strength.
In short, Cao Cao let Guan Yu go and waited for him Liu Bei to rebel.
Then annihilate the three brothers in one fell swoop.
Now Liu Bei's situation is the opposite.
Completely at a disadvantage.
Deng Xian is a young general, but it helps him to enter Chengdu.
At this moment, Deng Xian's defection to the enemy has already explained the problem of Liu Bei's lack of ability.
If you kill Deng Xian's family again.
Then the Chengdu generals must be panicked.
Liu Bei's brutal side is fully revealed.
But if he didn't kill him, other generals would inevitably follow Deng Xian's lead and join the enemy.
Stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is still a knife.
For Liu Bei, everything he did was wrong.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang.
"What is the strategy of the military advisor?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Ma Chao fled to Nanzhong, the lord still does not blame, and gives him a reward, today it is better to strictly order the arrest and killing of Deng Xian's family members, and quietly let his family members go in private
!" "That's all!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh.
The strict order to hunt and kill illustrates Liu Bei's attitude.
The fact that the people were let go can only show that the generals below are not executing effectively.
In short, Liu Bei will not carry this black cauldron.
Liu Bei immediately ordered Zhang Fei to arrest Deng Xian's family, and asked Zhang Song to quietly send someone to transfer Deng Xian's family.
A few days later, Deng Xian's family all fled from Chengdu and entered Dongguang Hancheng.
When Deng Xian saw his family, he was moved to tears.
Immediately ran with Wu Dun to see Chao Rui.
Kneel down in front of you to thank you.
"Thank you Lord Saijiu for saving my family
!" Chao Rui waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about!"
Deng Xian didn't speak, but his eyes were already red.
Chao Rui said again: "If the general feels ashamed of me, he
must do his best to attack Chengdu in the future!" "I must do my best!" Deng Xian clasped his fists with both hands.
A few days later, Jingzhou's grain and grass were transferred to Hanyang City by water.
Cao Cao had no worries and immediately ordered a large army to besiege Chengdu.
In just three or five days, the entire Chengdu was surrounded by water.
Cao Cao even wrote a letter to Liu Bei in person, asking Liu Bei to surrender on his own initiative.
Liu Bei got the letter and tore it up on the spot.
"Surrender? It is impossible to surrender in this life
!" "I, Liu Bei, am a descendant of the Han family, how can I be with you, a Cao thief?" "The Han thief
is not on the same page, and the royal industry is not partial
!" "The lord is wise!" Zhuge Liang gestured.
Zhang Song immediately said: "There are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, the treasury is full, Cao Cao continues to increase his troops, although there are 500,000 people, but they can't break through Chengdu within half a year
!" "Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded: "From now on, build a high city wall and strictly defend
it!" "Obey the order!" The military generals of Wenchen clasped their fists one after another.
In the next half month, the two armies were at peace.
First, because Chengdu is well defended.
The second reason is that Cao Cao doesn't want to do his best to seize a Chengdu at the moment.
After all, Hanzhong Zhang Lu has not yet been pacified, and Jiaozhou Shixie is still separating.
The two armies seemed to be on a tense situation.
But it's tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
Cao Cao took advantage of his leisure time to take Chao Rui and Liu Zhang to the river to fish.
Liu Zhang doesn't know anything about fishing.
On the contrary, he is very good at cooking and has become Lao Mo's right-hand man.
Only Cao Cao and Chao Rui's grandson fished together on the riverside.
Cao Cao said, "Xianzhi, there is something, you haven't asked me again!"
"Is there one?" Chao Rui asked Cao Cao rhetorically.
Cao Cao smiled: "Don't you remember?"
"Don't remember!" Chao Rui shook his head.
Cao Cao said: "Do you remember, when we first met?"
"Of course I do!" Chao Rui smiled and nodded: "At that time, you broke into my small courtyard by mistake, and Lao Mo and I tied you to the table
!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed: "That's right, I won against you later and found your biological father for you
!" "Hmm!" Chao Rui nodded: "There is such a thing, but after so many years, I almost forgot it!"
Do you want to know, who your father is?" Cao Cao looked into Chao Rui's eyes and spoke seriously.
Chao Rui shook his head: "Actually, I don't care anymore!" "
Why do you say this?" Cao Cao asked.
Chao Rui said: "At the beginning, I wanted to go to my father and seek a future for myself, but now I have a bright future, the army is my family, who is my father, who my father is, it doesn't seem to matter too much
!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed: "There is some truth in what I said, but I have already found your family!" "
Is it?" Chao Rui was surprised, and his eyes became hot when he looked at Cao Cao.
"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded: "Guess what, why haven't I told you so far
?" Chao Rui said: "Are you afraid of me and kill my father
?" Cao Cao smiled: "It's a reason!" "
Are there any other reasons?" Chao Rui was puzzled.
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded.
Chao Rui shook his head: "Then I don't know!" Cao Cao said: "When Yizhou is pacified, Hanzhong, Jiaozhou, and Nanzhong are recovered, I will take you to see your father and give you the answer you want
!" "Hahaha!" Chao Rui smiled: "Prime Minister, you look like you are painting
a big cake!" Cao Cao shook his head: "If this is a big cake, it must be big and round, and it must satisfy
you!"
"I believe you!" Chao Rui nodded.
Cao Cao said: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" "Don't be afraid!" Chao Rui shook his head: "Over the years, I have been by your side, and you have been closer to me than my own son, although I know that you are definitely
not my father!" Cao Cao hurriedly said: "I am definitely not your father, you can rest assured of this
!" "Haha!" Chao Rui smiled: "But I feel that you must know my father!" "
That's right, and it's
very familiar!" Cao Cao nodded.
At this time, Chao Rui's fishing rod trembled.
Chao Rui violently threw the fish to the shore.
Hurry up and let Lao Mo grill the fish.
After a while, Cao Cao, Liu Zhang, and Chao Rui ate grilled fish and drank wine.
Cao Cao opened his mouth and said: "Ji Yu, you are the pastor of Yizhou, tell me, can the imperial court break through
Yizhou in this battle?" Liu Zhang shook his head: "I can't break it, my Yizhou Chengdu Mansion has been in business for many years, and what I am prepared for is the war, and what I am waiting for is this day
!" Cao Cao shook his head: "In this way, our army can't win this battle
!" "Not necessarily!" Liu Zhang shook his head, pointed at Chao Rui and said: "Your military advisor is very smart, maybe he has a way!"
Cao Cao subconsciously looked at Chao Rui.
Chao Rui smiled bitterly.
Just now, Cao Cao painted a big cake for himself, and now he is asking himself for advice through Liu Zhang's mouth.
At the end of the day, it's up to you to come up with your own ideas.
But in fact, Cao Cao is also very clear in his heart.
In the current situation, there is indeed no good way to break through Chengdu.
Chao Rui pondered for a while, and then said: "Since Chengdu can't be broken, it's better to persuade Hanzhong to surrender first
!" Cao Cao nodded: "Once Hanzhong surrenders, the people of Chengdu will be even more flustered
!" "That's right!" Chao Rui nodded.
Cao Cao sighed: "But Jiang Gan and Liu Ye have been gone for so long, and they have persuaded Zhang Lu to surrender, but there is no progress at all!"
