"General, Huaili and Juxian have fallen one after another, and we have no help now, what should we do at this moment?" Fengshui, Li Dao's camp, Zhao Cen came to Li Dao's side and frowned.

Li Dao was silent, this battle was aggrieved, and only now did he understand that it was not Chen Mo's main force who was confronting him at all, he had been deceived for so many days, now Chang'an has been broken, Huaili and Juxian have also been lost, and now Li Dao has almost no place to stay, Zhao Cen asked him, he was also at a loss at the moment.

"General, why don't I wait to join Huaxiong?" Zhao Cen saw that Li Dao didn't speak, and said tentatively: "If we join forces with Hua Xiong, then Chen Mo may not be able to take advantage. ”

"What do you think, how did Chen Mo's soldiers and horses kill Chang'an unknowingly?" Li Wei shook his head a little irritably, it stands to reason that Chen Mo sent troops in such a big battle, even if Hua Xiong is blind, he should be able to hear some rumors and report himself, but Hua Xiong hasn't let out a fart for so long, if you want to say that there is no cat in it, you don't believe it if you kill Li Dao, what is the difference between running to Hua Xiong at this time and sending him to death?

Not only Hua Xiong can't find it, but Xu Rong can't either, these two people are too close to Chen Mo, and Xu Rong only came back after recuperating from Chen Mo's injury for a year, whether there is any private collusion between the two parties, no one can tell.

"Then ......" Zhao Cen looked at Li Dao, in this way, wouldn't they be trapped and die here?

"Now there are two roads, go down the Fengshui, enter the Meridian Valley, and go to Hanzhong." Li Dao said thoughtfully.

"Meridian Valley?" Zhao Cen looked at Li Dao blankly.

"This place is the place where the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the heavens in the past dynasties, the north mouth is said, it is more than ten miles south from here, you can find it down along the abundant water, it is one of the seventy-two valleys of the Qinling Mountains, it is six hundred and sixty miles long, the road is difficult to travel, there is even no road in the depths, I have not walked." Li Wei sighed and said.

"General, I'm afraid the surplus food in the army is not enough for us to cross the Meridian Valley, and Hanzhong may not accept us." Zhao Cen looked at Li Daodao.

"That's right, so if we want to go to Meridian Valley, we can only bring a few elites and enough grain and grass to go." Li Wei nodded, if you want to cross the Meridian Valley, so many people will definitely not be able to, so you can only leave with a small number of people and horses with all the food, as for the rest of these soldiers and horses, you can only abandon them.

"Then I don't know what the other path the general said?" Zhao Cen directly denied this road, he could bring a few hundred people at most, even if he went to Hanzhong, what could a few hundred people do?

"The other is to go to Guo Yan." Li Wei sighed and said, looking back at this moment, he suddenly didn't understand why he turned against Guo Yan? Guo Yan, who had eaten a meal, suddenly changed his face, and Li Wei was still a little puzzled.

However, although the head of the previous fight was bloody, but now that the enemy is current, Guo Yan himself may not have the confidence to defeat Chen Mo, after all, Chen Mo is not only with the state army, but also Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses, and the surrendered troops under his command add up to a lot, Guo Yan is afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, after all, it is a robe that has fought side by side, with Li Wei's understanding of Guo Yan, at this time, he led his troops to vote, Guo Yan will not really talk about any affection, the two can still join forces.

"General Guo, he ......" Zhao Cen was relieved when he heard this, no matter how Guo Yan and Li Dao were, he Zhao Cen went over, Guo Yan couldn't drive people away, as for whether Guo Yan would take the opportunity to clean up Li Dao, that was their business, of course, there was still some worry on his face.

Li Dao glanced at him, stood up and said, "Let's go find Guo Yan." ”

"Father!" Just as the two were about to assemble their troops and horses to set off, they saw Li Shi running in in a panic.

"Panic what!?" Li Wei glanced at this son with some disgust, he didn't think much of it before, but since the start of this war, this son has become more and more unpleasant, and he can't even set up a camp, how can he lead troops to fight in the future?

"Father, the scouts have come to report that an army has appeared in the east, and it is rushing towards this side." Li Shi was scolded by Li Dao and trembled, how could he still be as arrogant as he used to be.

"The army?" Li Wei frowned when he heard this, the soldiers and horses of Wuyi should not have caught up so quickly, and immediately looked at Zhao Cen and said, "Go and see, who are the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Cen nodded in agreement, took the order, and after taking the cavalry out of the camp, he saw a force in the distance slowly coming towards this side, looking at the flag, it was not the state army, nor the Xiliang army, the Chinese army had the word Xiahou written on it, and there was a general surnamed Xiahou in the pass?

Further behind was a large banner with the character of Cao, and the other party obviously saw the cavalry on this side, and quickly stopped marching and formed a formation.

"Who will come, you can leave your name!" At Zhao Cen's signal, a Xiliang cavalry rode out and shouted in front of the two armies.

"Lord, look at the flag, it's Li Dao's soldiers and horses." Xiahoudun glanced at the other party's banner, rode his horse to the Chinese army, and found Cao Cao.

"How could Li Dao be here?" Cao Cao put his hand on the pergola to cover the sun, looked ahead, and said with some surprise, where the birds don't, what is Li Dao doing here when he has nothing to do?

Xiahoudun shook his head, who knows.

"Maybe I was beaten." Cao Cao grinned and said, "Tell him that we have received an edict from the Son of Heaven to come to help, our own people." ”

"My lord, we don't have an edict from the Son of Heaven." Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao Dao.

"Trick him, if he doesn't believe it, it's not too late to fight, if he can deceive him, it means that this Li Guo and the second thief have been divided by my little brother, and he just wants to get some information from them." Cao Cao tightened the cloak on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Liu Biao is still stuck with our grain and grass over there, if we can get Li Dao and Guo Yan to use it, we don't have to worry about this grain and grass." ”

Why is Cao Cao here?

At the beginning, Cao Cao gathered troops and horses to prepare to attack Heluo, but Xu Huang's defense in the Heluo area was too good, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai and others checked for several days and failed to find the gap, but the news from Guanzhong that Chen Mo had already sent troops to face Zhang Ji, no matter how urgent the war was between the two sides, if Cao Cao fought all the way from Chenggao's side, I am afraid that he would not have many people in Guanzhong.

In the Xi Zhicai's meeting, Cao Cao and the Jingzhou family reached an alliance, through Nanyang into Wuguan, now Yuan Shu was driven to Huainan area, this Nanyang has also become a borderless land, Cao Cao and Liu Biao both want to eat, but both sides have their own concerns for a while, Cao Cao and Cai Mao have some friendship, Jingzhou has recently had a yellow turban rebellion, Liu Biao has just entered Jingzhou, and the control of the army is not enough, and Cao Cao has recently been a little unhappy with Tao Qian, and he can't transfer troops to eat Nanyang, it is to secretly form an alliance with Liu Biao, and the two sides do not offend each other with Nanyang as the boundary, After Cao Cao went to rescue the Son of Heaven, he welcomed the Son of Heaven back to Nanyang, and the two sides respected the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao led his troops to Wuguan into the pass, and Liu Biao was responsible for providing food for Cao Cao and receiving Cao Cao.

Of course, if it really succeeds afterwards, how to deal with Nanyang and the Son of Heaven depends on their own ability, and the covenant of these years and months, that is, when they can't do anything about each other, is useful.

But the grain road is pinched by others, after all, it makes people unhappy, at this moment to see Li Dao's army here, Cao Cao has already moved his mind to pit some grain and grass from Li Dao, well, the pit depends on the situation and then say whether to fight or not, after all, what is the situation in Guanzhong now, Chen Mo sealed the news very dead, and the outside world could not get information at all.

Xiahoudun thought about it and did not rush to fight, so he said goodbye at the moment, rode his horse out of battle, and said loudly: "I am Xiahoudun, the general of the thief under the Yanzhou pastoral tent, and my lord has been ordered by the imperial court to lead the army into the pass to level the thieves, but the front is General Li Dao's people?" ”

When Zhao Cen heard this, he rode a horse to the clinic, looked at Xiahoudun from afar, nodded and said: "I am Zhao Cen, the captain of the Qiang under the account of the general of the chariot cavalry, you can say that you have the imperial edict, why don't I know?" ”

"The letter written by the general is here, and it is also stamped with a ribbon, you don't know, the general of the chariot must know, if you don't believe it, ask it." Xiahou tightened the spear in his hand, and was ready to kill.

Zhao Cen saw that Xiahoudun was sure of what he said, and hesitated a little, Guo Yan's order, they are now fighting like this with Guo Yan, how can they know if Guo Yan has given it?

"General Xiahou, wait a minute, I'll ask my general!" Zhao Cen hugged his fists at Xiahoudun, and asked the deputy general to lead his troops here to watch these people, and went to the camp to find Li Dao and tell him what happened.

"Is it really Guo Yan looking for it?" Li Wei looked at Zhao Cen and confirmed.

"I think that Xiahou is conclusive, there should be such a thing." Zhao Cen wasn't sure, but Xiahou Dun's appearance just now was full of confidence, and it really didn't look like he was lying: "Besides, Cao Cao and Chang'an are separated by the entire Heluo and Hongnong, if he has to get the edict, how can he come by detouring to Nanyang?" ”

"Reasonable." Li Dao nodded and said: "Then invite them to go along, but you still need to be vigilant, I heard that this Cao Mengde had a personal relationship with that Chen Mo back then, and it may not be possible for the two families to join forces if they know the current situation." ”

"Well, I'll go and tell you." Zhao Cen nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Soon, Zhao Cen rode his horse and came to the front of the battle again, looking at Xiahou who was already waiting a little impatiently in the distance, and said: "General Xiahou, my general is now also about to go to the general after the convergence of martial arts, if Cao Yanzhou is willing, we can go together." ”

Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of Li Dao, Li Dao didn't want to take advantage of Cao Cao, if Chen Mo's army chased after him, he could just borrow Cao Cao to block it.

"That's what I mean!" Xiahoudun nodded and said, "I don't know when the general will leave?" ”

"Soon!"

At that moment, the two left separately, and Xiahoudun came to Cao Cao's side to tell him about the matter.

"It seems that the two thieves of Li Guo have been separated, and they don't go to Chang'an but go to martial arts......" Cao Cao rubbed his head and said with a headache: "Don't tell me, Chang'an has been breached." ”

Xiahoudun shook his head, how did he know about this.

"A few Liangzhou people among the generals were sent to inquire about the news, what is the situation in Guanzhong now? Where is the Son of Heaven? "Cao Cao's main concern now is the Son of Heaven, which is the most important reason why he came on this adventure.

"Whoa!"
