Chapter 1164: Take Chang'an

Chapter 1164 Take Chang'an

Cao Cao was restless all day long.

Too many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Reason and emotion are always at war.

It wasn't until night that he couldn't take it anymore, so he fell asleep heavily.

But in the middle of the night, Cao Cao woke up again.

What happened this time made it impossible for this always very decisive person to make a quick decision.

I kept thinking about it, and when it was almost dawn, Cao Cao was too tired and fell asleep again.

Cao Cao's health is already very poor, and he has been unconscious three times in the past month.

The three times of coma caused his body to suffer a lot of trauma, and he still couldn't rest well.

Without enough rest, he cannot recover well.

When Cao Ang came to call him after 7 o'clock in the Tang Dynasty, Cao Cao didn't get up.

Cao Ang called him because he had already made an appointment. This is a big event and cannot be delayed.

Cao Cao got up, washed, and put on a commoner coat.

He didn't wear a dragon robe, nor a boa robe, but ordinary clothes worn by nobles from aristocratic families.

"Father, my son will accompany you out." Cao Ang said from the side.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No need, Huchi can go out with me alone. I'm already a seriously ill old man. It doesn't matter. There are too many people."

Cao Cao didn't plan to take troops out, he believed that Zhang Yu would not touch him.

At this time, there is no need for Zhang Yu to be like this.

Cao Ang also believed in Zhang Yu, so he didn't persuade him much, but necessary preparations are necessary.

When Cao Cao went out, Cao Ang led these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at the gate of the city, ready to fight out at any time.

The city gate opened, and Zhang Yu and five thousand people were already waiting there outside.

What Zhang Yu didn't expect was that,

Only two of Cao Cao came out.

He took Xu Chu alone.

When the two came, Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "Evil come and stay, and everyone else will retreat."

Zhang Yu also withdrew his soldiers and horses.

With Dian Wei on one side and Xu Chu on the other, Zhang Yu's current strength is no worse than the two of them, and he is safe and sound.

"Zhang Yu." Cao Cao clasped his fists in both hands, without bending down, and called Zhang Yu's name directly.

Zhang Yu agreed to cup his fists and called Cao Mengde.

The two parties have met each other.

"I can ask people to prepare tea and seats, and we can have a good chat here."

Cao Cao didn't refuse, and asked someone to get a pergola, and then there were seats, as well as tea.

After a while, it's all done.

"Cao Mengde, please sit down."

"Zhang Yu, please sit down."

Both sat down together.

"I am old and dying, unlike you, who is in the prime of life, really enviable." Zhang Yu said.

"Meng De is also a hero for a time, but the reincarnation of heaven, birth, old age, sickness and death, such as the changes of the four seasons, cannot be changed by humans."

Cao Cao was not feeling emotional, and said directly: "As you said, the old man was indeed a hero for a while, which also made the old man doomed not to surrender. The old man can die in battle, but he cannot surrender."

Zhang Yu didn't take it seriously, and Cao Cao didn't surrender, which was also expected by him, and he also took measures to deal with it.

If you don't surrender, then attack. He only promised three days, and preparations have been intensified.

Zhang Yu said lightly: "Brother Meng De will not surrender unless he surrenders. I respect you and will definitely do my best on the battlefield."

"Hahaha, I have had many opponents in my life, but I have never met an opponent like you. If you don't do it, you will be fine. Once you emerge, you will not give people a chance."

"However, the old man cannot surrender, but others can. If you give me three more days, the old man will personally lead his troops to fight you to the death."

Zhang Yu was very surprised. What does Cao Cao mean?

He does not surrender and is ready for others to surrender.

Cao Cao had a decisive battle with himself? That is courting death.

Cao Cao's current state is very poor, why should he fight with himself.

It is impossible for Cao Cao to win.

That is, I want to use this method to draw a sentence for my life.

This full stop is at least much better than surrendering or being defeated by Zhang Yu and being beaten into Luoyang City.

"Brother Mengde, think carefully. I can give you both opportunities and time."

Cao Cao reached out his hand to stop Zhang Yu's words, and then said: "The old man has decided that this Luoyang is no longer defendable, and there will be hundreds of thousands of casualties if it is fought, and the result will not be changed."

"Xun You gave Ang'er an idea, to negotiate with you, we give up Luoyang, and you let my Cao family take soldiers and horses to fight overseas and open up a country overseas."

Zhang Yu frowned, this is indeed a good idea, he can completely accept it.

Overseas, too many places have not been developed, and some places have fertile land, and the natural conditions are not known to be much better than those in Huaxia.

Zhang Yu would not be reconciled if such land was given up to foreigners.

Of course, I can develop it slowly.

But Zhang Yu's time is always limited, and it can affect decades, even hundreds of years, but it cannot last forever.

"Haha, this plan is really good. If Mr. Cao Ang agrees, I can give you three days to discuss it."

Zhang Yu said solemnly again: "In the west, there is a huge empire. Ma Teng colluded with it. You should have gotten some news. Ma Teng saw that I was about to conquer Luoyang Chang'an, and he had already notified the west two months ago. Will be calling too."

"So, I will give you three days. After three days, if there is no compromise plan, I will launch a fierce attack in the morning of the fourth day and will not stop until the city is broken."

"My determination is great. I, Huaxia, cannot be touched by the enemies of the Western Regions."

After Cao Cao took control of Luoyang, he gradually realized that there was a huge Roman Empire in the west.

Zhang Yu has already given him the bottom line, and he has no other way out.

For three days, it cannot be changed.

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "Then thank you for the three days you gave me. Time is precious, so I left."

The two talked for a short time before leaving.

When Cao Cao went back, Zhang Yu was very emotional, why didn't he think of such a plan?

But it's normal for Zhang Yu to be unexpected. He won an absolute advantage, and Zhang Yu didn't need to think about it at all.

After Zhang Yu returned, he received news that Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were in control of Chang'an.

They fought with Ma Chao and took the initiative to drive Ma Chao away.

This Ma Chao is also very strong. He fought with Zhao Yun for more than two hundred rounds, but he was unable to win in the end, and even left at a slight disadvantage.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, Ma Chao's strength in history will definitely surpass Zhao Yun.

But it's different here, Zhao Yun has been in battle for a long time, I don't know how many battles he has fought.

However, Ma Chao's chances of actual combat are much less, so Zhao Yun's marksmanship has already achieved great success at this time.

Ma Chao did not capture Chang'an. After Zhao Yun and Tai Shici drove Ma Chao away, Chang'an City opened the city and surrendered to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu called Xi Zhicai and said: "Chang'an City is very important to defend against the enemies of the Western Regions. You go to Chang'an immediately to take over the government affairs of Chang'an City, and bring more than a hundred civil servants there. When you arrive in Chang'an, don't be afraid to spend money to repair it. Road repair city, proceed as soon as possible."

Chang'an can be regarded as the starting point of the Silk Road. Although it is not in this era, its convenient location cannot be ignored.

In the future, there will be wars, wars with the Western Regions, and Chang'an City will be an important place.

Therefore, Zhang Yu wants to control Chang'an, develop Chang'an, and make Chang'an a great city.

"In addition, the environment around Chang'an must be protected. People are not allowed to continue to cut down. It's okay to cut down. After cutting, some corresponding trees must be planted immediately."

In later generations, the Chang'an generation will be very weak, which has a lot to do with the serious environmental damage.

On the Loess Plateau, the trees were cut down, resulting in a barren land.

A lot of places on the west side have this result.

However, in this era, the common people cannot be prevented from chopping. If they do not chop firewood, what will they cook with.

Therefore, cutting still has to be cut, but it must be protected.

Zhang Yu must also pay attention to this ecological issue, and a system will be formed in the future, but it is not his main task now.

The most important thing for Zhang Yu now is to build Chang'an well and make it firm so that it can become an important military town that can resist foreign enemies in the future.

Even if there is no fight in the end, it will become an important town on the Silk Road.

When Xi Zhicai heard about it, Zhang Yu asked him to spend a lot of money again. He likes it, because he can do anything with money.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do a good job." If you have money, you will be very confident.
