Chapter 1161: Cao Cao Deposed Prince
Chapter 1161
When Cao Ang came back, Cao Cao's mentality also changed.
"Father, you should rest well. There are ministers in Luoyang City, and they will not let the Tang army come in." Cao Ang said, holding Cao Cao's hand.
"Oh." Cao Cao sighed and said, "Weifu is old and not in good health. He should have his own destiny. Zhang Yu won't attack for a short time. When he arrives in Luoyang, he will definitely negotiate with Weifu. When the time comes talk later."
It is impossible for Cao Cao to surrender, but he will not object to Cao Ang's surrender, but that will have to wait after his death.
It is impossible for Cao Cao to surrender.
When Cao Ang came back, he shared most of Cao Cao's affairs so that he could cultivate a little bit.
Three days later, Cao Cao's health improved a lot, so he called several of his confidants over.
Cao Cao did not call Cao Ang for this discussion. Cao Ang was already in charge of the city's affairs, but this time Cao Cao had a bigger matter to discuss.
"I have decided to abolish the crown prince," Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, but his opponents were still not used to calling me emperor.
When Cao Cao said that, the faces of several people changed.
Cao Ang is the most suitable candidate for the prince. Once this is abolished, the morale of the army in the city will be even more unstable.
Xu You came out and said, "Meng De, it's all like this now. With the crown prince around, the city can still be stable. Once it is abolished, some soldiers and horses may become unstable."
What Xu You said is absolutely true. Cao Ang has been dealing with military affairs for a long time, and he also brought a group of troops loyal to him.
Originally, there is no difference between being loyal to Cao Cao and being loyal to Cao Ang, but if the prince is to be abolished, there is a difference.
"It's okay, I will abolish the crown prince, and then let Ang'er handle all military affairs, so we can still maintain stability." Cao Cao said.
A few people were stunned for a while, and then they understood.
This Cao Cao is dealing with funeral affairs.
Cao Ang was abolished as the prince. Once Luoyang City is broken, Cao Ang may still survive.
don't you see
The heroes of Sun Ce's generation could only commit suicide in the end, because he became emperor.
Zhang Yu would not allow another person who claimed to be emperor to live, and neither could the crown prince.
Everyone understood Cao Cao's plan, so they didn't persuade him much.
Clearly abolishing Cao Ang, but letting Cao Ang take on more things, so that anyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Ang is still the most valued by Cao Cao, and the harm can be minimized.
"I thought that Ang'er was at a disadvantage in Wancheng, which led to the fall of the city and abolished the prince, and ordered him to make atonement." Cao Cao said.
Several people silently agreed, Cao Cao has made the final arrangements, can they be optimistic in their hearts?
Xu You wanted to rebel, or escape, but he couldn't find a chance.
Originally, he wanted to lure Ma Teng over, but they got mixed up with the barbarians, and I'm afraid he would end up with no good results in the end.
Several other counselors are also quite pessimistic.
Cao Cao is seriously ill. Once he has problems, this power may collapse.
The foreign enemy is too strong.
Cao Cao suddenly issued an imperial decree to abolish the crown prince Cao Ang, but did not appoint another prince.
The next step is to let Cao Ang handle all the military affairs in Luoyang City.
This imperial decree has indeed minimized the harm. Ordinary soldiers don't understand the mystery inside, and it doesn't have much fluctuation in the morale of the army.
But those aristocratic families, those senior officials, are all smart people.
They all know what's going on.
Such an arrangement made those people feel uneasy.
"Cao Mengde is already taking care of his son, this city of Luoyang cannot be defended anymore."
"Zhang Yu has already controlled eighty-nine out of ten of the world. How can Luoyang City be defended?"
"give up."
"I hope Zhang Yu will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
The aristocratic family in the city became restless, and then passed it on to the senior generals in the army.
Those senior generals are also very aware of the situation in front of them.
Cao Cao's army still firmly controlled the city gate, so the aristocratic families in the city did not dare to mess around.
These aristocratic families still have a lot of power, and they even have a lot of diners.
However, the Cao army in the city is strong, and they have no ability to open the city gate.
Get a good balance between inside and outside the city.
A few days later, Zhang Yu finally arrived in Luoyang.
When Zhang Yu arrived, all the generals of the army came to see him.
"Zilong, you immediately take an extra 100,000 troops to Chang'an, take down Chang'an, and defend it well."
Zhang Yu reported after learning about the military situation.
Tai Shici had already gone to Chang'an with 50,000 soldiers and horses, but at this time he was outside the city and had not yet attacked.
Ma Chao was also outside the city, and the two armies were separated by a certain distance, so neither dared to act rashly.
Tai Shici has relatively few soldiers and horses. The most important thing is that Zhang Yu has just married Ma Yunlu. This Ma Chao is an uncle of the country, so it is difficult to deal with.
But when Zhang Yu arrived, he directly ordered Zhao Yun to take Chang'an. With Zhang Yu's order, he would kill anyone who dared to block it.
After that, Zhang Yu continued to hold a meeting and said: "Everyone, as long as we take Chang'an, the problem in Luoyang will be solved slowly."
"The Roman Empire in the west is certainly powerful, but we already have the strength to contend. The enemy is coming from thousands of miles away. The logistics are definitely a huge pressure. We are fully capable of dealing with it."
"Bingzhou and Chang'an will be our first line of defense, followed by Jizhou."
"If the enemy stretches the front line, we will trade space for time, and the whole people will fight against the war, and we can also attack from the sea, so we will surely win."
Zhang Yu's eyes were no longer on Luoyang in front of him, and Luoyang was no longer difficult for him.
It took Zhang Yu a day to tell them about the situation in the whole world.
The next day, Zhang Yu held another meeting.
"Yesterday, I have already told you about the general trend of the world, today we will solve this Luoyang City."
Zhang Yu finally mentioned Luoyang City, and at this time several generals, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were all there.
Several people began to express their opinions, some advocated a strong attack, some advocated persuading surrender, and some advocated taking it slowly.
Luoyang is an isolated city. Even if Cao Cao wins the battle of Luoyang, he will be compressed in Luoyang and cannot leave other places.
Chang'an in the west, Zhang Yu will definitely take it first.
Gao Shun guarded Hulao Pass in the east.
To the north is the Yellow River, where Zhou Yu's fleet is located, and to the south, Nanyang and Wancheng Zhangyu also have heavy troops.
Luoyang is an isolated city.
Zhang Yu said after listening: "Then combine the three methods. I will go to persuade you to surrender first, and make a long-term plan if there is no violent attack."
"While fighting and talking, there is always a way. If it doesn't work, take the lives of 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers, and you must win it within half a year. If you can't win it within half a year, you will be prepared to face the Western Empire. insufficient."
Zhang Yu had already set the general tone and asked them to prepare separately.
The armies have actually been preparing for a long time and are ready to go to war at any time.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu headed for the city gate with five thousand personal guards.
"Please Cao Mengde, or Mr. Cao Ang, come down and speak." Zhang Yu went to shout out in person, showing great respect to the enemy.
