Chapter 659: Unexpected
After Cao Rui left, Cao Zhen instinctively wanted to go to Xu Tian.
Ever since he knew that Xu Tian had arrived, Cao Zhen felt constrained no matter what he did.
Even.
He didn't know what to do.
Just after walking a few steps, Cao Zhen unconsciously stopped.
Xu Tian's words seemed to appear in his ears again.
"This time, I'm just here to see, just do what you want to do, don't worry about me!"
Although he didn't know what Xu Tian meant.
But.
One thing is clear, you just need to do what the other person says.
After hesitating, Cao Zhen turned around and returned to the barracks.
At this time, it's better not to let Cao Rui see any flaws.
After all, at this point, a small detail can ruin an entire operation!
......
Late at night.
The sky was pitch black, and the moon and stars didn't know where they were going.
It's as if they know what's going to happen tonight!
This time.
In order not to arouse Cao Rui's suspicion, Cao Zhen dispatched almost all the troops in Chang'an.
Nearly 80,000 troops, plus Cao Rui's more than 20,000 people, a total of nearly 100,000 troops have been assembled.
Cao Rui was dressed in military uniform, looking at the dense army, and a sense of pride suddenly surged in his heart.
This should be the courage that I should have.
As an emperor, he should have such an imposing army under his command.
Without any superfluous words, under Cao Rui's order, an army of 100,000 was immediately dispatched.
Cao Zhen's father and son also set out to fight, leaving only a few city defense troops in Chang'an.
Merely.
This is just for Cao Rui to see.
Only Cao Zhen and Cao Shuang knew that there was still Xu Tian in Chang'an.
General's Palace.
Xu Tian was in the room, looking at Chang'an's account books over the years.
It's not that he doesn't believe Cao Zhen, it's just that Xu Tian must know everything about Chang'an.
Otherwise.
After a long time, the people in Chang'an may only know Cao Zhen, but not Xu Tian.
Please do something completely decentralized, Xu Tian can't do it.
Because there are too many tragedies that have occurred after the decentralization.
Just as he was about to pick up the second book, there was a soft knock on the door of his room!
"King Qiqi, the military advisor Pang Tong asks to see you!"
"Come in!" Xu Tian said without raising his head.
After a while, Pang Tong walked in respectfully and bowed to Xu Tian: "Meet the king!" ”
"Shiyuan, come!" Xu Tian looked at the other party with a smile and motioned for him to sit beside him.
"The king is this.... Auditing? After Pang Tong walked over, he saw the account book in Xu Tian's hand at a glance.
In fact.
Regarding this matter, Pang Tong had already told Xu Tian.
No matter how much you trust someone, don't really give him power.
Otherwise, after a long time, it will be too late to manage it.
Merely.
When he made this opinion at that time, Xu Tian didn't care very much.
Originally, Pang Tong thought that Xu Tian believed in this Cao Zhen too much, so he didn't adopt his own opinion.
Unexpectedly.
Xu Tian had been using his own opinion all along, but he didn't let himself know.
Thinking about this, Pang Tong suddenly felt that he was a little bit of a villain's heart!
"Didn't you say that? No matter how much you trust someone, don't give absolute weight! Xu Tian said very casually.
He just didn't want to embarrass Pang Tong, so he said it so casually.
With Pang Tong's wisdom, of course he understood the deep meaning of Xu Tian's actions.
As soon as his heart warmed, he immediately bowed to Xu Tian and did not speak.
"What's the matter, what are you doing here so late to see what I'm doing?"
Of course, Xu Tian also received Pang Tong's thanks and asked with a smile.
"Oh!" Pang Tong patted his head at this time, and suddenly said: "That's the case, Cao Rui and they have already set off!" ”
"General Cao Zhen took away almost all the defenders of Chang'an, and this time General Cao is a little too big!"
Speaking of this, Pang Tong was a little embarrassed.
He understood what Cao Zhen meant, but he just wanted Cao Rui to believe him completely.
merely
In Pang Tong's view, at this time, it doesn't matter whether you trust it or not.
Because Cao Rui had no other choice, he had no other choice but to choose to cooperate with Cao Zhen.
In other words, even if Cao Zhen only dispatched half of his troops, everything he got would be like this.
"Now you understand why I'm here?" Xu Tian suddenly put down the account book in his hand and looked at Pang Tong with great meaning.
Pang Tong was stunned....
He didn't understand what Xu Tian was talking about, but he had a faint feeling, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.
Seeing Pang Tong's meditative look. Xu Tiandu was a little unbearable, so he said:
"Cao Zhen is a person who likes to think about things very extremely, he always thinks that as long as he does well enough, he can get the trust of others!"
However, what he didn't think about was that as long as someone doesn't believe in you, no matter what you do, he still won't believe you!
Just like this time, he emptied almost all the guards in Chang'an, what if this Cao Rui didn't have a good heart and colluded with Sima Yi again?
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Cao Rui didn't unite with Sima Yi, what if he sent Yecheng's army to come? ”
Xu Tian's words made Pang Tong feel empowered.
Only now did he understand that Xu Tian came to Chang'an in person to have such a deep meaning.
Just now, he thought that the reason why Xu Tian came here was completely because he was suspicious of Cao Zhen.
But soon, Pang Tong thought of another very serious problem.
Since Xu Tian had already thought of this, they only brought more than a thousand people with them this time.
As far as these people are concerned, in front of tens of thousands of troops, they are not worth mentioning at all.
So.
If they encounter the kind of situation that Xu Tian said, what will they do to resist?
"King, even so, it seems that our army is not enough!" Pang Tong's face was full of worry.
Originally.
He hadn't thought about it yet, so he was optimistic about it.
Now that he understands that there is one and that question, he can't help but start to worry.
With Sima Yi's cunning, it is very likely that he will make a sneak attack on Chang'an.
"What if you add Huang Zhong's army of 50,000?" Xu Tian smiled and picked up an account book again and looked at it.
"Old General Huang?" Pang Tongyi was stunned, and then his eyes widened suddenly.
He suddenly remembered that before they were about to leave, Xu Tian had summoned Huang Zhong back.
He always thought that you were Xu Tian asking him to protect Jiangdong, please!
But he didn't expect that Xu Tian would mobilize the troops to protect Jiangdong!
"But in this way, wouldn't Jiangdong..."Pang Tong looked even more worried.
Jiangdong's Sun Quan has always been eyeing them, and once they find an opportunity, it will be a big deal....
