Xun Yu said: "Over the years, I have fought with the Ming army no less than 100 times, but basically every time I didn't get a bargain. There were and only twice, and the victory was achieved. Once it was Xu Huang, and once it was General Cao Zhen. In addition to taking advantage of the surprise attack that time, Xu Huang is now even among his people in the Ming army. ”

"Counting, only General Cao Zhen repelled the Ming army head-on, and he repelled it under the night attack that the Ming army is good at. This is enough to show that General Cao Zhen's ability is extraordinary, but it also makes the Ming army jealous. ”

"Yes, this war will begin, no, there has already been a beginning, and the Ming army naturally hopes to get rid of General Cao Zhen first and avoid future troubles."

After speaking, Cao Cao really faced up to the matter. Originally, Cao Cao didn't think there was anything, but now after listening to it, he thought about it a little and found that it was really like this.

Cao Zhen, whose name is Zidan, was originally a son of Cao Cao, and his parents died when he was young and was adopted by him. After so many years, Cao Cao also regarded it as a parent. After the death of his eldest son, Cao Cao also paid more and more attention to his children, otherwise he would not have sent Cao Chong away, and allowed Cao Zhi to visit with his wife and children.

Cao Cao's heart tightened and asked, "In this case, how should we deal with it?" ”

Xun Yu didn't say anything.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "Bishui Pass is a first-class dangerous place in the world, not only can it not be lost, but it must also recover Zhongmu and other places as soon as possible, otherwise once the Ming army takes the land of Luoyang, there will be no danger around Xuchang." ”

Although this is an exaggeration, it also highlights the importance of Bishui Pass. In the room, all of them understood people, and immediately agreed: "What Cheng Shangshu said is extremely true. ”

Shangshu, there were many in the Han Dynasty, Cheng Yu was often serving Cao Shangshu, the main prime minister and imperial history. In other words, he is the henchman of Cao Cao's henchmen.

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked, "Who can take on this important task?" ”

Cheng Yu took a good time to say: "The winged king whale swallows Jingyi Erzhou, and its majesty is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty...... The emperor, and Guan Yu and other generals are very brave, and they can drive out the Ming army. ”

"This ......"

Everyone was shocked and didn't know how to respond, so they had to look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time and said, "Will there be a gap?" Will you be able to take back the city then? ”

Cheng Yu seemed to have expected it, and without thinking about it, he replied directly: "Can't, don't dare, won't!" ”

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Okay, immediately send a message to the Wing King and ask him to come north as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Prime Minister." Cheng Yu said quietly, "The minister must let him come 'as soon as possible'." ”

The word "as soon as possible" bites hard.

Cao Cao nodded, and asked again: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, just in case, the prime minister decided to increase troops to Xingyang, so as to ensure that the army of the Wing King arrives without loss." I don't know how much you think you should increase the number of troops? ”

The suggestion was made by Cheng Yu, so the rest of the people didn't mean to interject, and their eyelids sank silently.

Cheng Yu's face did not change at all, and said: "In fact, the strength is enough, the key is to know what the Ming army is going to do, otherwise no matter how many soldiers there are, it will not be of much use." ”

"However, if a few soldiers and horses are stationed in the Yu (guo) pavilion, it may be able to intimidate the Ming army, so that it will not dare to act rashly in a short time."

"Yuting?"

Cao Cao's mind became lively when he heard this, and he brought a map of the surroundings of Luoyang.

After a while, the crowd began to watch.

Well, let's look at the map.

Yuting, adjacent to the canal (旃) Ranshui, close to Xingyang, less than 50 miles away.

"Wonderful!"

"Papa~"

Cao Cao stroked his palms and praised: "In the past, I didn't think that it was a place where you could usually rest, but now you can look at it, but it is an important road that extends in all directions, connecting all places, and it is a necessary place to go from east to west, and you can rush to help Xingyang and Bishui Pass at any time. That's great! Good! ”

Cao Cao asked again who could go, but everyone was silent.

Cao Cao didn't really want to ask, and thought to himself: Although Gongsun Du said that the emperor made His Majesty have to unite with Cao, but there was a little more disagreement with the ministers of the court, but it was not obvious on the face, but secretly there was an undercurrent surging, and he didn't know when he would come from behind. It seems that we still need to arrange some Cao family disciples. Well, Zixiao's eldest son seems to have been in the army for many years and has a lot of military exploits, like this......

"Summon, let Tai'er lead 5,000 men and horses to Yuting, and the camera supports Xingyang or Bishui Pass."

Cao Ren's eldest son, Mingtai, has emerged in the army since Cao Xiu and Cao Chun were killed by Gongsun Du, and he seems to have the title of a new generation of Cao's Qianli Ju.

"The prime minister is wise!" Everyone should do it.

Cao Cao said again: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the strength of the army is really strong, especially a few days ago, the Ming army suddenly increased its troops by 200,000 to Puyang, Yangping, Lu, Pengchengguo and other places, which can be described as a great increase in pressure." ”

Chen Qun was the first to respond: "King Yi and King Wu are both Han ministers, and this time it should be time for them to serve His Majesty." The minister suggested that Wu Jun should immediately use troops to Xuzhou. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal." Zhong Xuan and others seconded.

……

At the same time, in the palace.

Fu Shou and others quietly asked the ministers of the Han family to see Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, recently, the prime minister has secretly summoned the ministers of the DPRK and China many times, for fear that there is a rebellion. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Gongsun and a dog thief, and recently gathered ministers privately, but he did not report to His Majesty, and he did not intend to use His Majesty as a step forward. ”

"This ......"

Liu Xie was shocked, but he forced himself to calm down: "Impossible!" You must know that Cao Xiu, Cao Chun and other Cao children died in Gongsun...... There are no less than hundreds of subordinates, and more should be hate, right? "Parkway

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable, but this is just a small hatred, how can it compare to the prosperity of the Cao family."

"But I heard that Cao Xiu and Cao Chun were highly valued by the prime minister, but they were ...... by Gongsun Du cut off his head, this should be considered a great hatred, right? When Liu Xie said this, his heart was beating a little drum.

On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Yu and others had just dispersed, Cao Cao received news from the palace, learned the news that Fu Shou and others had entered the palace, and looked at the direction of the palace for a long time.

Your Majesty, if you still trust Cao, then Cao is still a Hanchen, even if it is ......

Yang Zhai, Cao Tai received the order and immediately set up troops.

Before Cao Tai could lead his troops to Yuting, Zhang Liao had already received the relevant news.

"Reinforcements? Or ......"

Looking at the news in his hand, Zhang Liao couldn't help but think.

"Someone!"

"General!"

"Go find the map of the Xingyang generation."

"Yes, General."

The knife and pen clerk rummaged through the box in response, and after a while, he took a hand-drawn map and said: "General, this is the latest map of Luoyang, which includes the area around Xingyang. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Liao nodded, took it and took a closer look at it on the table.

"No, not direct reinforcements, but here!"

Zhang Liao looked at it for a while, and said very firmly: "Yu Ting! It must be a pavilion. ”

"Quick, invite Guan Hai, Xian Yufu, Shiyi and other generals."

"Yes, General."

Guan Hai and the others received the order and quickly rushed over.

"General!"

After Guan Hai and the others saw the salute, they turned to the side and sat down, waiting quietly, only Yi Yi's movements were a step slower, and his eyes swept a few glances on the map in front of Zhang Liao's desk before sitting down on Guan Hai's left hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao nodded secretly, among the few people under his command, the one he valued most was this Shiyi. Although Guan Hai and Xian Yu are strong in auxiliary martial arts, they are only rough generals, and they are not good generals, and the rest of them are not even as good as Yiyi. But Yi is not only not bad in martial arts, but also has many amazing points in the use of soldiers, which can be a good general.

Zhang Liao briefly said the reason for convening everyone, and said to everyone: "Xingyang is a very important matter, and the general must not leave lightly, I don't know who is willing to go to meet with the eldest son of Cao Ren, the general of the southern expedition?" ”

Disdain, the disdain of the thorn fruit, I don't even want to say its name. If Cao Tai, the Qianli horse of the Cao family, knew that Zhang Liao despised him so much, he didn't know how angry he would be!

"General, subordinates are willing to go!" Guan Hai and the others all got up and asked for help.

Seeing this, Shi Yi hesitated for a moment and extinguished his thoughts.

Zhang Liao looked at him and said, "I don't know what Ziyu is dissatisfied with this general?" ”

Shi Yi hurriedly got up and responded: "The general's words are serious, and his subordinates are not dissatisfied. ”

"Then why don't you ask for help?" Zhang Liao asked again.

Shi Yi said: "If the general is not bad, and one of them, such as General Guan and Captain Xianyu, will lead the troops to ambush, and the son of Cao Ren can fight down." ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Liao smiled: "Ziyu, you are not honest, this is not what you are talking about, right?" ”

Yes Yi was silent.

Zhang Liao's face turned pale, and said: "If you have anything to say, will you still be in trouble!" ”

"The general is serious."

Shi Yi bowed apologetically and said solemnly: "Just Cao Tai, you really don't have to take it to heart." However, general, don't forget who is in Xingyang City! ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said, "You mean ......?"

Shi Yi nodded and said, "A few days ago, the Tancai reported that there were people in Xingyang City who escaped from the city, and they have not been found yet, and the general thinks they are really the people?" All the people have horses? Can you escape from our scouts again? ”

Zhang Liao naturally didn't think so, otherwise he wouldn't have let Tanqi look for his traces all the time.

Shi Yi continued: "Judging from these days, Cao Zhen does have good skills, especially from the perspective that he can reinforce Xingyang in time, it is not in vain that the governor attaches so much importance to him." ”

Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "In this case, what does Ziyu think it should be?" ”

"The general's arrangement is very good, just do it."

It was Yi Yi who said affirmatively, and then said: "But Cao Zhen is likely to send troops to respond, or to make a surprise attack, so the general should prepare early." ”
