Seriously, with Wei Guo's way of building roads to people's doorsteps, in less than a month, half of the Western Regions will be controlled by Wei State.

There is only half of the Western Regions left, and it will not take two months for the Wei army to successfully command in Dawan.

By that time, the entire Western Regions had been taken, and the war ended smoothly.

After that, the battle was almost over.

Calculated in this way, Cao Ren still feels a little unsatisfied, his war mode of fighting a war and resting for several years is really a little unpleasant.

If he could, he would rather have a close rival in a fight to the death and win the battle.

It's a pity that Guo Peng built the Wei army too strong, so strong that other opponents despaired, and it is estimated that there are also Guishuang, rest in peace, and maybe count the Great Qin State to be able to fight the Wei army a little.

The others are stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

With an enemy of the level of the Western Regions, as long as the Wei side cut off their living materials, they would immediately go to famine, and they would immediately cry and shout for mercy.

You don't need to fight a few real battles, and if you show your muscles a little, you can make the countries of the Western Regions surrender directly, and then go to Luoyang to be an idle prince.

But this is not necessarily, he and Guo Peng have passed a lot of letters, and the meaning in Guo Peng's letter is that he doesn't want to raise more idle princes.

Liu Jian, Liu Zhang, Liu Cong, these three Lius have already taken away more than 10,000 of his households to support them, let them eat and drink spicy food, and raise them again, it will be too much of a loss.

If he didn't think his face was not good-looking, he wouldn't even want to raise Liu Zhang and Liu Cong, and it would be helpless to raise a Liu Jian.

What are these powerful people in the Western Regions?

The implication of the words is to let Cao Ren be a little sharper and find an opportunity to kill them directly, and Guo Peng of the province will have to spend money to support them.

It seems that Guo Peng does not have a lot of money.

Then, Guo Peng also instructed him a very important thing.

This time the march, Guo Jin served as the commander, Cao Ren served as the deputy commander, of course, Cao Ren was responsible for the specific military action, but this battle was fought, and Guo Jin won the army.

The meaning is like that, everyone knows it in their hearts, but nominally, Guo Peng needs Guo Jin to make some achievements in the military.

So Cao Ren understood Guo Peng's instructions.

Over there, he went to make a pretext for war, and here he had already arranged for the armies to start moving.

Check the combat readiness, check the warehouses, and under the cover of military exercises, start to transfer troops -

Anyway, they have not been less engaged in military exercises and confrontations with each other over the years, and it is not surprising that the countries of the Western Regions are surprised.

It just so happened that a military exercise was held, and the drill was carried out, and the fight really began.

As soon as the news spread, Guo Jin came.

"Uncle Zixiao, long time no see."

"The last general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

In public, Cao Ren is still quite respectful, even if Guo Jin is very close to him, even if Guo Jin calls him Uncle Xiao, he will pay attention to the salute.

This made Guo Jin very happy, and immediately stepped forward to help Cao Ren.

"Uncle Zixiao, there is no need for such a division between you and me."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, and the last general is a minister, the monarch and the minister are different, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, this is the way to be a minister."

Cao Ren's performance was really great, so Guo Jin was embarrassed to show how happy he was, and he could only look hypocritically anxious.

"Uncle Zixiao is too angry."

Having said that, No. 2 Guo's heart has already turned upside down.

can make the meritorious veteran so respectful, which means that his identity as the crown prince has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the identity of the future emperor will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his status will eventually be as indestructible and unshakable as his father said, and everyone praises him.

Pleasure.

Very pleasant.

Compared with those guys around him who don't know the height of the sky, they are really more sensible veterans.

Well.

After a period of greetings, Cao Ren looked at his eldest son, Cao Tai, and his face became stern.

"By His Royal Highness the Prince's side, do you respect His Royal Highness the Prince? Can you share your worries for His Royal Highness the Prince? Have you forgotten what you told your father? ”

Cao Ren's series of questions made Cao Tai a little frightened.

"The father's teachings, the son dare not forget, the son has always followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in accordance with the father's teachings, and he does not dare to exceed the slightest."

Cao Ren immediately asked Guo Jin for confirmation, and Guo Jin immediately confirmed the matter to Cao Ren with a lot of face.

"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, for the sake of my father and aunt, I believe you, you have to be as always, and you are not allowed to exceed the slightest, otherwise you will be careful of your skin!"

Although Cao Ren is getting older, his father's majesty is still there, Cao Tai trembled for a while, and nodded in agreement.

After that, Cao Ren and Guo Jin discussed Guo Jin's mission to come to the border this time.

"Your Majesty has informed Yu Chen of this, and once the war starts, the minister will announce this matter to the whole army. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry, as soon as the march is ready, the ministers will all be ready, and there will be no problems. ”

Cao Ren smiled, as if telling Guo Jin, don't worry about being your boss, I will let you lie down and get military achievements.

Guo Jin was very happy.

"Nominally I am the coach, but in fact, I am just a junior who follows Uncle Zixiao to learn, and my father also asked me to learn more from Uncle Zixiao, and I hope that Uncle Zixiao will give me advice, don't dislike me for being a burden who doesn't understand military affairs."

Guo Jin's posture is very modest.

Cao Ren hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"Since it is His Majesty's order, of course the ministers should abide by it, then please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stay in the army with peace of mind, wait for the ministers to raise troops, and join His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to conquer the Western Regions and kill the ministers."

"In this way, I will ask Uncle Zixiao, by the way, Uncle Zixiao, how is the current situation of the army? What about material mobilization? How prepared are you? What is the pretext for war? ”

Although Guo Jin said that he was a burden who did not understand military affairs, he followed Guo Peng and followed him in the Northeast for a while, so he still knew some military affairs.

At least to the extent that [you won't be deceived by generals who are out with troops].

The basic military principles, the basic things that need to be done in marching operations, Guo Jin, who has read military books and received military education, still understands to some extent, and it is not easy to deceive him.

Although he did not have as strong military talent and combat record as Guo Peng, Cao Ren still told Guo Jin about the current preparations.

The explanation was very detailed, just like making a work report to the emperor, and there was no perfunctory appearance.

Guo Jin also listened to Cao Ren's report decently, and asked all kinds of questions and doubts, and Cao Ren answered them one by one.

In the eyes of others, this really looks like the monarch and the minister are asking the right question, and it looks quite a bit of déjà vu.

Except for Lu Yu and Lu Yi, who have not spoken much, the rest of them really feel that Guo Jin's appearance seems to have a slight overlap with Guo Peng's image as a strong emperor.

Especially Cao Tai, he didn't dare and couldn't talk to his father in this way.

And at the moment, Guo Jin seems to still have the initiative to talk, and Cao Ren is a reporter.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that Guo Jin has a higher status, Cao Ren has a lower status, and his subordinates report to their superiors.

This made Cao Tai feel a little uncomfortable.

It's a little bit uncomfortable.

Do you always feel that there is something discordant?

That night, Guo Jin called Lu Yi and Xiahou Shang to go to the military camp of the Northwest Corps together, and inspected and inspected the military camp under the leadership of General Guan Yu.

Others go to rest and prepare for tomorrow's work.

Only Cao Tai was called into his military tent by Cao Ren, and the father and son were alone.

"Atai, my father has not been by your side all these years, and in your daily interactions, you are really respectful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you have never crossed the line? Tell me honestly, don't hide anything. ”

Cao Ren's attitude was very serious, and the seriousness made Cao Tai feel a little uncomfortable.

What's going on?
