After hearing these ideas, Zhang Wei felt very confident in his heart, as if these were nothing serious.
Although there is a lot of risk in this, but this risk is accompanied by benefits.
Moreover, everyone thought about it, and this was the only chance to kill Cao Ang here, because there was no time more convenient than this time.
Combining all kinds of reasons, Zhang Wei decided to fight, and then led everyone to Guanzhong.
Zhang Wei has heard that although Han Sui, Ma Chao and others have bowed their heads to the court at this moment, the situation faced by these two people is similar to his own. They are unwilling to give up the power in their hands, otherwise it is impossible to continue to return to Guanzhong warlord.
Therefore, as long as these two people are persuaded, and then these two people contact other warlords, then Guanzhong is enough to gather a large army, pass through the Qinling Mountains from Ziwu Road, and directly enter the Hanzhong area to cooperate with Zhang Lu to ambush Cao Jun.
Zhang Lu and Cao Ang will arrive in Nanzheng in a short time. The key to the success of this conspiracy lies in one word: fast.
Unlucky enough to fail Zhang Wei's entrustment, several envoys came to Hanzhong in the fastest time and told Ma Chao, Han Sui and others of their plan.
Ma Chao and Han Sui were very surprised when they learned of Zhang Lu's surrender to Cao Cao and Zhang Wei's plan. They did not expect such a big change in the southern Hanzhong County in just a few days, and they had not had time to receive the news .
"Meng Qi, what do you think?"
Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang all prepared the cavalry cavalry Cao Ang to seize Hanzhong in the name of the Qing emperor. This move is to seize the opportunity and cut off the connection between our soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and them."
"Once Cao Ang captures Hanzhong and obtains several ancient roads to enter the pass, he can directly threaten Guanzhong militarily and prepare for the battle with Sun Liu. He will probably clear the pass in the future. How can we stand at that time?
Han Sui's eyes moved: "Then according to my nephew, what should we do?"
Ma Chao was very ambitious, and he was unwilling to be subordinate to the Cao family, but it was a pity that Sun Ce and Liu Biao joined forces a little later.
If they had stood up to Yibu against Cao a few months earlier, Ma Chao would never have agreed with Ma Teng to fall to the court, let alone send troops to Jizhou to help Cao Cao get rid of his confidant.
Fortunately, it is not too late now, Cao Cao is busy cleaning up the mess in Hebei, and there is no way to get out in a short time.
Cao Ang entered Hanzhong. Although Zhang Lu was successfully incorporated, Hanzhong still has a strong resistance. If the Guanzhong soldiers and horses intervene at this moment and join hands with Hanzhong Zhang Wei and others to destroy Cao Ang.
So from this moment on, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other large areas will form a powerful anti-Cao alliance.
Under such a situation, it is difficult for Cao Cao to defend Xuchang, and his Hebei land will inevitably be lost.
The Cao family is likely to move their capital to Yecheng, abandon the entire Henan, Huainan, Xuzhou and other regions, and even if they are not destroyed in the end, they can only become local princes.
At that time, the world will be divided and ruled, and a situation similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States will be formed.
Ma Chao and Han Sui are very ambitious people. They all hope that they will agree to close the area and the Hexi Corridor, and eventually build a Qin State or Xiliang State.
In this matter, Ma Chao undoubtedly has a greater advantage, because Han Sui is already old, while Ma Chao is only in his twenties.
Ma Chao has Qiang blood and has a high prestige among the Qiang people. He has the energy and time to establish the Xiliang Qin State, and then unify the Qiang tribes, becoming the most powerful vassal in the west.
As for whether doing so will harm Ma Teng and the others?
Ma Chao can't take care of so much at this moment.
As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not care about small details, if they are stumbling by this kind of woman's benevolence, how can they realize their ambitions and ideals?
Ma Chao had always resented Ma Teng for abandoning his biological mother and marrying another Han, but Ma Teng chose this situation himself.
Immediately, Ma Chao and Han Sui formed an alliance, and the two secretly contacted many warlords.
These warlords obviously also realized that once Cao Jun occupied Hanzhong, they would definitely pose a threat to them, and Ma Chao and Han Sui took the lead.
They all joined in without hesitation, and an operation against Cao Ang was being conspired by the two rebel forces in Guanzhong and Hanzhong.
"General! Urgent information! Tens of thousands of troops are suddenly assembled in Guanzhong. At present, the intention and movement are unknown."
Cao Ang frowned when he heard the words. There was an assembly of troops at this time. Cao Ang believed that this was not a coincidence.
He had long been wary of the heroes in Guanzhong, so he sent people to watch him all the time, and asked Jia Xu to arrange an undercover agent. He had several intelligence channels.
Pang Tong learned about the situation.
He immediately said: "Guanzhong and Hanzhong have Chencang Road, Feixie Road, and Ziwu Valley Road. Many ancient roads are connected. Guanzhong has assembled tens of thousands of troops. It is very likely that they are preparing to enter Han. I think there are still rebel forces in Hanzhong County. , in an attempt to cooperate with the outside."
Cao Ang stroked his chin and pondered for a few seconds.
"Shi Yuan, you start now and personally garrison and replace all the passes and military towns in Hanzhong."
"Yes!"
Cao Ang has already figured out how to deal with these snakes and rats.
Zhang Sell surrendered sincerely, there is nothing wrong with this, otherwise he would not have let Cao Jun in, but Hanzhong is obviously not the only one thinking of Zhang Lu, and there must be hidden rebel forces among other high-level officials.
Pang Tong's guess was correct. The sudden change in Guanzhong at such a time could only be aimed at him, Cao Ang.
Although Cao Ang knew in his heart that Nanzheng was in danger, he still had to go now.
...
Chapter 243
Cao Ang appointed Abandon Tong and put him in charge of occupying all the pass towns and major cities in Hanzhong to ensure that everything was safe.
The reason why Cao Angming knew the danger was that he wanted to use himself as a bait to drive out those rebels.
If you can't let those reactionary people jump out by themselves, then you know who they are, and there is not enough evidence to get rid of them.
This time, if there is a fish that slips through the net, it will not only affect Cao Ang, but also affect the recovery of Hanzhong.
Therefore, only by using yourself as a bait will you catch those people with evil intentions.
A few days later, Cao Ang came to Nanzheng.
When the people of Nanzheng heard that Cao Ang was coming here, they all ran out to greet him, and some wealthy businessmen also came to flatter him.
Cao Ang didn't refuse either, and entered the banquet very easily and normally, and then some high-level officials from Hanzhong also came to gather here, and Cao Ang also drank and got acquainted with each other one by one.
That Zhang Wei was also among them, and he hated Cao Ang so much that his teeth were itchy.
After Cao Ang got to know all those people, he realized that something was wrong with some of them.
Based on the first impression, the emotional reaction after seeing him for the first time, and various small details, he, Cao Ang, was probably [-] to [-]% sure about the rebels.
The people who rebelled this time should be headed by Zhang Wei and others.
This Zhang Wei is indeed the main combat faction. Even in history, when Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, he resisted fiercely.
It's just that Zhang Wei's ability is relatively weak, and he can't resist the menacing Cao Jun who is in full swing.
The final result was also Zhang Wei's failure.
