- A few days later, seeing Li Ru's army withdrawing one after another, Cao Ang finally felt relieved and prepared to withdraw his troops to Luoyang. With the withdrawal of Li Ru's army, the soldiers who were scattered in the battle of Xingyang also returned to the army one after another. As a result, plus the 3,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Li Dian and Wei Zi, and the 5,000 soldiers under Xu Rong, Cao Ang's troops have increased to about 9,000.
Li Su also brought good news to Cao Ang. Among the more than a thousand seriously injured people staying in Luoyang City to recuperate, about 500 people's injuries have improved and they will soon be able to resume normal training. As a result, plus the 800 soldiers guarding the camp, Cao Ang's army on the Luoyang line alone has reached an unprecedented 10,300 soldiers.
On this day, Feng Ji came to Cao Ang's camp and paid homage to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang knew that he was Yuan Shao's confidant, so he quickly opened the camp gate and personally led his generals out to greet him.
Seeing that Cao Ang's attitude was very submissive, Feng Ji was extremely happy. He held Cao Ang's hand and kept praising him, which made Cao Ang, who had been born in two generations, feel a little embarrassed.
When everyone entered the central military tent, the generals exchanged greetings for a while and then left. Cao Ang smiled and asked Feng Ji: "Sir, you have so many things to do, why do you have time to come to my camp? I should come and visit in person!"
Feng Ji said with a smile: "I am just a straggler from the mountains. The leader of the alliance refused to give up, so I traveled around for him. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you generals are very busy. Who allows me to have more leisure."
At this time, the guards brought tea and bowed to leave. Cao Ang personally poured a bowl of water for Feng Ji and placed it on his desk.
Feng Ji quickly stood up, took the water bowl, and said with a smile: "Zixiu, you are also a general under the leader of the alliance now. It is better to leave these servants to serve others. I feel a little uncomfortable when you are so polite. comfortable."
Cao Ang said with a smile: "Sir, your knowledge is admired by the world. It's not easy for you to come here. I always have to do something like a disciple. I can also take the opportunity to learn more knowledge from you later."
Feng Ji laughed heartily, and then said sadly: "Zixiu, if all the heroes in the world were as reasonable as you, the whole world would have been peaceful a long time ago. How good it is now, with wars on all sides, and the country is withering! Before! Soon we received information that Sun Jian¡¯s secret possession of the national jade seal had been exposed, and he fought a fierce battle with Liu Biao, and the specific results are not yet known.¡±
Cao Ang frowned and pretended to be surprised: "I didn't expect Uncle Sun to be so dishonest. He would rather swear than tell the truth. Alas!"
Feng Ji sneered and said: "He has something in his heart, and he doesn't even urinate and take a photo of it. Can he keep this national jade seal for himself?"
Cao Ang nodded repeatedly, "Sir, what you said is true. Sun Jian should have handed over the imperial seal to the alliance leader that day, and then transferred it to the imperial court in the future. In today's world, only the alliance leader is qualified to preserve this jade seal for the emperor!"
Feng Ji was very happy after hearing Cao Ang's speech. He smiled and said: "Zixiu, I came here today to discuss something with you, which is the issue of food and grass for the army. Now all the food and grass for the Allied Forces They are all provided by the alliance leader, Han Fu, and Yuan Jiujiu. It¡¯s just that we are expanding our troops everywhere now, and the pressure on food and grass is huge!
In the past, the alliance leader provided you with food and grass based on the share of 6,000 people. Now your department has expanded to more than 10,000 people. If you provide it in real terms, the burden on the alliance leader will be heavy! See if you can eat less food. Of course, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and during the Chinese New Year, the alliance leader will also provide you with more cattle and sheep, so you won¡¯t suffer any loss! "
After hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but frown. He had also heard rumors during this period, but he did not expect that Yuan Shao would actually cut the budget to him first. Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you also know that I was ambushed by Li Ru in Xingyang not long ago and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, I made an emergency landing at Xu Rong's headquarters, and then I barely recovered. If the soldiers' rations were deducted again, those soldiers The soldiers in Liangzhou feel that their treatment has been reduced, so they might rebel!"
Feng Ji knew that his request was a bit excessive. Since Sun Jian left, Cao Ang's army was the only strong force that dared to fight against the Liangzhou army. Moreover, Cao Ang respected Yuan Shao very much and rescued Yuan Shao several times. But the other princes were disobedient to Yuan Shaoyang. Now that Cao Ang, who was loyal to Yuan Shao, had suffered a loss, Feng Ji also felt a little sorry. But now the princes are unwilling to lay off their troops, and Yuan Shao urgently needs someone to take the lead and set an example. Considering that Cao Ang is the most obedient, we can only ask him to make some concessions first and then compensate him in the future.
Before Feng Ji could say anything to compensate, Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "Sir, you also know that Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, entrusted Zhi County to me not long ago, and I can also get some grain and grass supplies from there. And my hometown is Qiao. Sometimes the county can transport some for me as a supplement. Well, in order to support the alliance leader, I will find a way to lay off three thousand soldiers and let them go to Zhi County to eat and dig more wild vegetables.?As for my headquarters, I only need food for 7,000 people. What do you think? "
Feng Ji was moved and grabbed Cao Ang's hand, and said emotionally: "Zixiu, having a subordinate like you is really a blessing to the leader. We can't let honest people suffer, so be it. I will make the decision for the leader to control Zhi County, Qinshui, Heyang, and Wenxian will be entrusted to you for garrison, and all county magistrates and county lieutenants will be appointed by you. This will also solve the food and grass problem of your department. As for your headquarters, we will give you eight thousand people. We will never default on food supplies!¡±
When Cao Ang heard this, he felt a little happy. In fact, during this period, he was preparing to lay off three thousand old, weak and redundant troops and send them to garrison in Zhi County, just to sell Yuan Shao a favor. However, is Fengji's careless promise like this reliable?
Cao Ang said with a smile: "With a share of 8,000 people, and with some more wild vegetables, it will be enough for the troops. But my uncle said that he would give me the land of the four counties in Hanoi. Will Uncle Wang Kuang not give it to me?" Are you happy? After all, he is the governor of Hanoi County!"
Feng Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, nephew. Wang Kuang has recently persecuted the people of Hanoi County, and the people are very angry. Many people have their homes confiscated and their families destroyed. In the past few days, many people came to the leader Yuan to complain and asked the leader to make the decision to replace him." "
Cao Ang nodded slightly. Now that the crusade against Dong Zhuo has come to an end, it is now the turn of the heroes to compete. Now Yuan Shao only has Bohai County in his hands, and he has coveted Han Fu's Jizhou for a long time. Hanoi County is close to Jizhou and can provide Yuan Shao with a forward position. Yuan Shao will definitely not let it go. It is impossible to let the relatively powerful Wang Kuang continue. Take control of this vital place.
Cao Ang scratched his head and asked in a low voice: "After all, Wang Kuang is also an important figure in our alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo. If he is replaced based on the confessions of a few common people, will the people of the world have any objections? Of course, if Uncle Yuan If you want to serve as the governor of Hanoi at the same time, with Uncle Yuan's prestige, you will definitely be able to conquer all directions, and no one will question it."
Feng Ji smiled slightly: "The alliance leader is busy with the plan to defeat Dong Zhuo and has no time to be the governor. However, there is one person who is very suitable, that is Zhang Yang of Bingzhou. As for Wang Kuang, we were right not to kill Hu Muban in the first place. He has already I confess that I set out from Luoyang with a secret mission given by Dong Zhuo, and was responsible for contacting Wang Kuang to rebel. Hu Muban is Wang Kuang¡¯s brother-in-law. Do you believe that the two of them did not collude? I don¡¯t believe it anyway!¡±
After hearing this, Cao Ang nodded repeatedly, "It was the alliance leader and sir who knew exactly what was going on. I was deceived by them back then, and I almost made a big mistake by interceding for this Hu mother class!"
While looking ashamed, Cao Ang thought to himself, it seems that this Yang is the new candidate for the governor of Hanoi County that Yuan Shao is looking for. Historically, Zhang Yang was loyal to Yuan Shao and had certain abilities, unlike Wang Kuang now, who is increasingly decadent and tyrannical.
Feng Ji smiled slightly: "My nephew, you don't have to blame yourself. If my nephew hadn't protected Hu's class that day, we wouldn't have noticed their conspiracy. My nephew also made great contributions."
Cao Ang sighed: "I didn't expect that Wang Kuang could not recognize the situation clearly and embarked on a path of no return. Sir, how can we bring him to justice? Do you want my nephew to help?"
Feng Ji said with a smile: "That's not necessary. There are only so many people in Luoyang now, and it is really impossible to support the army. The army is gathered in Luoyang, and the supplies are all transported from the rear, which is very stressful. The leader of the alliance is planning to propose various measures after the year. The army will gradually withdraw its troops to reduce the burden on the people. When the withdrawal of the army passes Huai County, the capital of Hanoi County, the leader of the alliance will summon Wang Kuangjin to see him and imprison him for questioning. "
Cao Ang couldn't bear it. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Although Wang Kuang colluded with Dong's thieves, he also made contributions to defeating Dong Daye. I hope that sir can advise the leader of the alliance and leave him a way out."
Feng Ji heard what Cao Ang said and said with a smile: "My nephew is really kind-hearted. Don't worry. The leader of the alliance will at most put him under house arrest. When he changes his ways in the future, the leader of the alliance may release him and let him go again." Working for the Han Dynasty!"
Having said that, everyone knows that after Zhang Yang takes office, he will definitely persuade Yuan Shao to confine Wang Kuang to death to prevent him from causing trouble again. Even if Yuan Shao releases Wang Kuang in the future, it only means that all forces loyal to or sympathetic to Wang Kuang in Hanoi County have been wiped out, and Wang Kuang will not do anything even if he is released from prison!
The two chatted some more, and Cao Ang personally sent Feng Ji out of the camp until his back was blurred. Then he returned to the camp, gathered the generals, and conveyed the situation.
Li Su sighed: "I didn't expect that Yuan Shao would be so mean and ungrateful. Although Wang Kuang couldn't bear it, he was very loyal to Yuan Shao. Most of the supplies he collected were handed over to Yuan Shao. I didn't expect that he would end up like this. Lord, we We must also be wary of Yuan Shao and not follow in Wang Kuang¡¯s footsteps!¡±
The generals all nodded in agreement, and Cao Ang nodded unconsciously.
