Chapter 635: Hundred Miles of Rapeseed Flowers
Zhao Pu was more and more impressed by the miraculous means of the later generations.
He could see that the bloody battle between the Song army and the Mongols on the light curtain was similar to the song and dance drama that was performed every day in the city of Bianliang, and most of them were performed by artists of later generations.
After all, although the standard armor worn by both sides was similar to that of the imperial guards, the soldiers had white faces without wrinkles, white hands without calluses, red lips and white teeth, which was completely different from the imperial guards at that time.
But during the charge, although the sword and gun movements of each other were a bit complicated, they looked like real swords and guns, especially the death of "Cao Youwen" in the last battle, with more than ten arrows piercing his body and being beheaded in the end, which did not seem fake.
Could it be that in later generations, there was a method like the immortals to cast beans to make soldiers, and these life-and-death struggles were all played with paper bean soldiers fighting each other?
The Bianliang Palace was quiet. Zhao Pu looked around and saw that everyone in the palace, from the officials to the eunuchs, was watching the fight intently. The former King of Jin even forgot to fiddle with the rosary in his hand.
In the end, the "Cao Youwen" on the screen died in battle, and the "Body of Courage" flag that had been flying all the time finally fell.
Although Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart, he praised him at the first time:
"Cao Youwen's heroic deeds are even better than his ancestors! Guohua has such descendants, and he must let them know!"
After saying that, he did not forget to look at his younger brother next to him.
The reason why this younger brother, who later changed his name to Zhao Jiong and was good at driving a donkey cart, is still alive and well today is that in addition to not wanting to kill his flesh and blood brothers, he is also confident that his younger brother can't make any waves now.
And now that he knows about Cao Youwen, when Guohua captures Li Yu and calls him back to watch, it can be imagined that even if he suddenly dies next year, this younger brother will not have the possibility of getting involved in the treasure.
But perhaps because he had been taught too many lessons recently, Zhao Kuangyi noticed it immediately after being looked at. He thought to himself that he had not done anything out of the ordinary just now, so he turned to flattery:
"Although Cao Bin is not very brave, he can be regarded as a general with great strategic talents. His reputation has been passed down through the ages. How can he be inferior to his descendants?"
Zhao Kuangyin looked at his brother with a little surprise and shook his head:
"Isn't it because of you that his reputation was ruined? During the Yongxi Northern Expedition, Cao Bin was stripped of his post as Privy Councilor and was unable to control the Northern Expedition generals, and eventually returned in defeat. Have you forgotten this?"
Master Kong Jiong was immediately embarrassed and bowed his head in silence.
…
"Cao Youwen is indeed a good general."
The place where he fought was very familiar to Zhang Fei, so he could talk about military affairs:
"The Jinniu Road from Hanzhong to Shu is along the Han River. The land is wide and can use cavalry, making it difficult to compete with the enemy."
"Mianyangzhou where Cao Youwen led his troops should be Wuxing. This place is where three rivers converge. It can attack Wudu in the north, cut off the Jinniu Road in the south, and go east like the big brother was intercepted in the battle of Hanzhong and take the Ma Mingge Road to enter Hanzhong. It is a must-take place to enter Shu."
Liu Bei coughed lightly to show some embarrassment.
Kong Ming chuckled and changed the subject lightly:
"Yide took Hanzhong, which was a bit of an advantage."
"Zhang Lu is an incompetent man. He occupied Hanzhong but did not plan to take Wudu. At that time, Mengqi and Han Wenyue were fighting in the north, and neither of them had the intention of going south through Wudu to take Hanzhong."
"As a result, thanks to Yide's courage, he only needed to focus on breaking Yangping Pass to recover Hanzhong and drive out the rice thieves."
Hearing the military advisor's praise of bravery, Zhang Fei immediately puffed up his chest:
"My son is fearless and has the effect of surprise attack. With the help of military advisor Pang, I, Zhang Fei, can't fight Hanzhong for half a year and live up to the trust of the military advisor!"
So Liu Bei coughed loudly.
But when he looked up, he saw his third brother and Kong Ming looking at him with a smile on their faces, and even Lu Su beside him couldn't help laughing. He immediately understood that it was his sworn brother and military advisor who were verbally teasing him.
But Liu Bei was not angry, instead he looked somewhat contented:
"Now I have many brave generals and wise counselors under my command, why should I lead the army myself?"
So everyone in the small courtyard laughed.
After laughing, Lu Su sighed sincerely:
"The Song Dynasty had Yue Fei and Han Shizhong before, and Cao Youwen and Meng Gong after. There has never been a shortage of brave and strategic generals."
"The Northern Song Dynasty still had famous ministers who dared to fight, but the Southern Song Dynasty was just like what the younger generation said, treating the country's major affairs as a joke."
"Each of them held heavy troops, but they only forgot what Sun Tzu said at the beginning, that the army is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and destruction, which must be carefully considered."
Several people nodded, and even Zhang Fei sighed:
"Even if it is true that Adou traveled through time, it would be good if Yue Wumu was alive, and he could rely on him to conquer the north and revitalize the country."
"If it were at this time, I'm afraid Adou would be helpless."
[At the time when Cao Youwen died in battle, Shu General Zhao Yanna had already fled to Jiange.
After Cao Youwen's death, Mongolia's attack on Shu was no longer hindered. In less than a month, it conquered Chengdu and massacred the city.
Zhao Yanna patted his buttocks and retreated from Jiangyou (now Mianyang) to Kuizhou (now Chongqing), and then received the court's demotion order to Hengzhou (now Hengyang) to take office.
In this battle, Wang Shixian, who assisted Mongolia and caused Cao Youwen's defeat and death, was originally a local tyrant serving the Jin Dynasty.
After the defeat of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Shixian petitioned several times to return to the Southern Song Dynasty, but Zhao Yanna's petitions were rejected by Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi.
Wang Shixian, who was not accepted by the Southern Song Dynasty, was eventually recruited by Kuoduan and became the vanguard of the Mongolian attack on Shu.
The reason why Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi did not accept Wang Shixian was very simple. The source of everything was the Duanping invasion of Luoyang. Zheng Qingzhi supported the Northern Expedition, while Zhao Yanna opposed it and did not send troops to support it.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Yanna supports it, Zheng Qingzhi will oppose it. If there is no family or a country, I, the old horse, can't count. I must eradicate you, the villain.
But Zhao Yanna probably had something to say: when Duan Ping entered Luo, the Mongols were heading south to raid again. At that time, the Sichuan Forbidden Army, led by Cao Youwen and Shi Dangke, was fighting a fierce battle with the Mongols, and they were really unable to cope with the situation.
But in addition, when Cui Yu, a famous official with both resourcefulness and courage, was serving as the commander-in-chief of Shu, he specifically inspected the level of Zhao Yanna, who was in charge of the troops in Mianzhou at that time, to see if he was suitable to serve as the commander-in-chief of the frontier.
In the end, Cui Yu came to the conclusion that Zhao Yanna's "big words are untrue and will definitely harm the country." Not only did he participate in a book, he also directly deprived Zhao Yanna of the power to control troops and horses. It can be said that he is very accurate in judging people.
However, the two Shu commanders Zheng Sun and Gui Ruyuan who succeeded Cui Yu later abandoned the Five Prefectures and retreated to three passes, while the other could not defend even three passes. In the end, Zhao Yanna turned around and became a Shu commander.
However, the Cao brothers who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield definitely did not know about these twists and turns. I just wonder if Cao Youwen, who saw the beacon rising on Jiguan Pass and marched in the rain in a hurry, could have guessed the ending of heroic sacrifice for his country?
The man has passed away, but the landscape remains unchanged. The battlefield that was bloody for twenty miles is now full of rapeseed flowers that are hundreds of miles away.
A bridge spans both sides of the river, and a whistle arrives at Yangpingguan. The bones of the fierce general have been buried for eight hundred years. The scenery of Sichuan and Sichuan has seen the old man show his new face. Cao Youwen should be able to rest in peace. 】
