Chapter 352 The Cao Family Destroys the Family, Come Down

The night provides the best cover for those who walk in the dark. A hazy, indistinguishable shadow sprang out from the temporary residence of Cao Guobin's family, without making a sound.

After sneaking hundreds of feet, the shadow met a person who "passed by by accident".

"Everything is put away."

Soi Ying only had this sentence, and it was still a sound transmission of spiritual consciousness; then Soi Ying returned quietly. The whole process is silent, no third person knows.

…………

The butter torch was burning brightly, illuminating the Emperor Cai's place brightly; the burning flame brought warmth and light, as well as a kind of indescribable roughness and majesty.

But the flickering flames also cast a flickering shadow on the scene.

Emperor Cai Guo was sitting on top, and Cao Guobin was "standing" slightly shaking below him. Prime Minister Huang Fu was in front of Cao Guobin, and Marshal Ye Weirong was in front left. Civil and military officials sit in rows around them.

Just as Huang Fu's words came out of his mouth, Ye Weirong suddenly said, "Prime Minister, before you ask questions, I would like to ask, does the Prime Minister understand military affairs?"

"I have read all 10 military books that are commonly used. Why, the commander-in-chief has questions?"

Ye Weirong's voice was low and mocking: "I'm worried that the prime minister doesn't understand military affairs, so I asked some ridiculous questions. For example, why do soldiers use knives more and less swords? For example, why can't grains be shelled during grain transportation?" .

The sages once said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. He can't just read books! "

"Pfft..." Someone laughed a little bit, but couldn't help laughing.

Huang Fu snorted, "Thank you, Marshal, for reminding me, I will keep this kindness in my heart."

Ye Weirong seemed to be mocking to the end: "It's better for you to forget, if you remember, I will have demons."

Ye Weirong is no stranger to Huang Fu, a power minister; and Huang Fu seems to want to be unfavorable to Cao Guobin, Ye Weirong will not sit idly by.

It's just that Ye Weirong hasn't figured out the specific situation of Cao Guobin here, and rashly intervening will only make things worse; but he can beat Huang Fu properly and don't ask "crooked questions". By the way, it is also a reminder to the emperor, so that the emperor has a concept in his mind-some questions are "stupid questions" and do not need to be answered.

Huang Fu didn't seem to take Ye Weirong's sarcasm to heart, and even seemed a little contemptuous - you, a martial artist who only knows how to do things, how do you understand the arts of 'questioning', 'making things difficult', and 'politics'. The same question can be asked from a military point of view, but also from a political point of view!

Perhaps from a military point of view, a problem is not difficult; but sometimes from a political point of view, a seemingly simple or even seemingly stupid problem can make a general move his head!

And there are some problems, as long as His Majesty thinks "it is a problem", it is enough! Yes, I don't understand military affairs, but His Majesty the Emperor doesn't understand military affairs either!

Almost instantly, these thoughts turned in Huang Fu's mind.

Under the attention of everyone, Huang Fu asked the first question, "Grand Master, you have an army of 800,000 in your hands, which is four times the army of the Xiao State, and you are in the mainland of Cai State, at least occupying a place where the right time, place and people are in harmony." 'The location is favorable and the people are harmonious', why don't you go out of the city to fight?"

Cao Guobin frowned, but his tone was very rude: "It is said that there are 800,000 elites, but in fact, there are less than 50,000 elites who can really go out to fight in the city; the rest of them can defend the city well, and the only way to take the initiative to attack is to die! Those soldiers who were temporarily organized , I can't even do a good job in arranging troops, how to charge forward!

What's more, the saying that the right time, place and people are harmonious is outdated, and the use of arms has made many tactical ideas in the past fall behind. "

But in the depths of his heart, Cao Guobin sighed a little-does such a precious thing as 'Renhe' still exist in Cai Guo now? You didn't see that Xiao Guo's army marched 1,800 miles in less than two days. If there were people to support them, how could it be possible to march at such a speed!

There was no interception, no tip-off, no rear harassment and interception of food roads, no generals who took the initiative to fight, and no officials and generals loyal to Cai Guo; instead, they "surrendered" one by one. The marching speed of Xiao Guo's army is the most cruel and realistic evidence!

It’s just that these words can’t be uttered. If you really want to tell the “truth”, it’s a real “truth adventure”, and the result of the adventure is to move your head. To tell the truth, there are many times to pay a heavy price. Too many times, in order not to violate conscience, we can only selectively hide it. As the saying goes, "talking loses talking half".

But Huang Fu is not stupid: "That's not right. There seems to be another kind of war called guerrilla warfare, which can be used to take advantage of the 800,000 soldiers.

As far as I know, as far as I have studied, guerrilla warfare can greatly weaken the role of arms. Moreover, guerrilla warfare can make the enemy restless and unable to rest. It is the best way to disrupt the enemy's military deployment and morale.

Besides, this is 800,000 people after all! And there are at least 30,000 imperial guards, tens of thousands of guards of the imperial city, and more than 600,000 elites drawn from various families and nearby cities; there are also brave and fearless patriotic warriors.

Among these people, there are only 50,000 soldiers capable of fighting? I don't know what the grand master's so-called warable soldiers are? "

This question can be said to be heartbreaking. The personnel supported by those families were indeed elites, because Huang Fu had sent all the direct descendants of each family to the city wall, and those families had no choice but to send out the elites. But this is only on the surface. In fact, the people in these families simply do not listen to the announcement.

But Cao Guobin can't say this, because firstly, there is no strong evidence, and secondly, the emperor still needs these families to support the scene. And if Cao Guobin said this, he would only push these families into Huang Fu's camp.

Besides, apart from the family members, there are also tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army and Imperial City Guard Army. But...the remaining Imperial Forest Army and Imperial City Guard Army are simply a bunch of riffraff. They eat and wait to die, and bully the common people. Once they really fight, they will only do one thing - run away. If there is more, it is surrender.

However, I can’t say this. This is the Imperial City Guard Army, and I don’t know how much darkness is involved behind it; if Cao Guobin dares to expose this matter, the Cao family will inevitably become the "Second Yan Family"; No one can save the Cao family like Anyang did last time.

There is also the so-called guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare is not such a simple matter. Let alone the strict requirements for the soldiers themselves; just talking about the "good generals" of Cai Guo, if they are asked to fight guerrillas, these generals will "fly far away"!

The anger in his heart was already raging, Cao Guobin knew very well in his heart that every sentence Huang Fu asked was on the 'idea', but Cao Guobin couldn't find a better reason to refute. There are some things that cannot be solved, otherwise the entire Cao family will die!

In particular, all of Cao Guobin's military actions are already unchangeable and irrefutable facts!

However, Huang Fu did not stop making things difficult. "Well, even if these are not counted; then why didn't you send troops when the Xiao Kingdom had already withdrawn its troops, canceled the siege, and started the Northern Expedition?

At this time, even if the 800,000 troops are recruits, dispatching troops can delay Xiao Guo's military operations. At least, it will be no problem to delay for a long time! Even if an army of 800,000 stands still and lets the enemy hack and kill, it will take a long time!

With this half a day, His Majesty does not need to take risks! "

Every word of Huang Fu's words makes sense—but the so-called every sentence makes sense from a political point of view! And it seems to be considering for His Majesty the Emperor.

Ye Weirong, who was next to him, finally couldn't stand it any longer, "Prime Minister, what you said is biased. Once defeated on the battlefield, the speed at which soldiers are defeated is unimaginable. Sometimes 300,000 people can be defeated in just a moment. No way. Use the eyes of ordinary people to measure war!"

Huang Fu's neck twitched, "But if you are an ordinary person, you will at least try to attack. Even if you only need to attack a little, it will slow down Xiao Guo's march!"

This is a bit poisonous; ordinary people can think of it, but your grand master can't think of it? Are you harboring evil intentions?

After saying these seemingly different words, Emperor Cai's eyes shrank suddenly. The position of the emperor is destined to be suspicious, especially considering the current situation of Cai Guo, the emperor is even more suspicious! And Huang Fu grasped this point.

After this series of questions, Huang Fu always considered from the emperor's point of view; in contrast, Huang Fu seemed to think from his own point of view instead!

Cao Guobin was trembling with anger. Huang Fu's questions were all "layman" questions, and none of them touched on the core of military affairs. For example, the bad idea of ​​trying to attack, can you try it casually, if you fail after several attempts, the 800,000 miscellaneous soldiers will definitely collapse; and the situation at that time, taking the initiative to attack, the failure rate is 200%!

But I'm sorry, His Majesty the Emperor is also a layman, and he can still hear Huang Fu's words in his heart.

Ye Weirong couldn't stand it anymore, "Prime Minister, according to what you said, the generals who lead the army and fight don't need to be specially selected, just just grab an ordinary person from the people."

Waiting for your words! Huang Fu sneered in his heart, "Dashuai Ye, you are wrong, I didn't say that. What I mean is, the performance of the Grand Master before: Even, ordinary people, are, no! Such as!!!"

As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to declaring Cao Guobin a death sentence.

At this moment, a person came out from behind Huang Fu, "Your Majesty, the grand master has worked hard for the country all his life, and he is loyal. This time there must be something hidden that we don't know. Can you give the grand master a few days to let us know?" The grand master explained everything clearly?"

As soon as this person said this, His Majesty's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent! This person's words sounded good, but when one listened carefully, they were written in a clever manner, and every word was in line with the emperor's heart.

There was a flash of joy in Huang Fu's eyes, it really is his caring person.

These words sound good, but after a little analysis, we can find the problem: serving the country all his life, working hard and making great achievements, he is the "master of great achievements"; he has always been loyal, and this time there is a hidden secret that we don't know, that is—— This old guy has two minds. However, "give the grand master a few days" has the effect of finalizing the final word - you can't give this old guy time, you have to cut the mess quickly, and you may change soon, Your Majesty.

However, after hearing this, Ye Weirong actually nodded to this person, admiring him very much.

Seeing this, Huang Fu sneered even more in his heart: so what about the commander, I am not as good as you in marching, but playing tricks, you can't even reach the threshold! As soon as these words came out, it was difficult for Cao Guobin to live!

Cao Guobin is an old man in politics, and when he heard this, his face changed wildly; he was ready to defend himself, and at this time, he would not hesitate to expose all the dark sides.

But at this moment, someone suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, a sneaky person was arrested. After interrogation, it was found that he was the head of the guards of the Cao family! This was found from him."

A letter that seemed to be torn apart and glued carefully was placed on a wooden tray and delivered to His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone turned their gazes over, and under the attention of spiritual consciousness, everyone saw the contents of the letter; although the letter was somewhat torn, some handwriting was blurred and incomplete, and even altered, the general content was very clear. A distress letter, a distress letter to Anyang!

A distress letter that the Cao family is going to send to the Yan family and Yan Ze'an in Anyang! There is also a seal at the end, Cao Guobin's seal!

"This is impossible!" Cao Guobin finally broke out, this is a conspiracy.

Emperor Cai Guo looked at the seal, and finally said, "Please ask the grand master to take out the seal for comparison, okay?"

Officials generally have two seals, one is private and the other is official; and the seal on this distress letter is a private seal.

Cao Guobin took off the personal seal on his waist without thinking; a guard handed it to him. His Majesty the Emperor personally stamped the letter next to the seal.

After the seal was removed, the two marks were exactly the same, including gaps, stroke thickness, some special patterns and broken lines, etc.!

Also, each private seal is a magic weapon, with its own unique aura and light, and even this one is exactly the same. Needless to say, this is the imprint of the same seal!

"No! How is this possible!" Cao Guobin's eyes were dull, and it was hard to believe that such a thing would happen.

Huang Fu sneered, "Because the means, methods, materials, etc. of engraving seals are different, up to now, no one has been able to duplicate a seal that is exactly the same. At least, in my country, I have not heard of such a thing occur."

Emperor Cai Guo repeatedly compared the letter and the seal, and every time he compared it, his eyes became sharper; finally he threw the thing at Cao Guobin's feet with a snap. "Teacher, you can see for yourself!"

Trembling, Cao Guobin picked up the seal and the letter, and saw it at first glance, these two seals were stamped by one seal!

At this moment, even Ye Weirong looked at Cao Guobin in a daze, with struggles in his eyes. Could it be...Could it be...the Grand Master has really communicated with Anyang secretly?

But there seems to be a lot of confusion in it. If it is a secret song, the grand master should seal a new and different seal, so that when necessary, it can be pretended to be engraved by others privately and framed. With the wisdom of Mrs. Cao, I can't think of this.
