Quiet...

Deathly quiet...

It was only less than ten rounds, and Cao Xiu was a complete failure.

Slowly lowered his head and looked at the long sword that passed through his body.

Cao Xiu spurted out a mouthful of blood and quietly looked at Cao Zhen opposite.

"Bang dang!" With a bang, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Cao Xiu grinned.

White teeth, already soaked in blood.

He laughed silently, with a chill.

"Old thief! You wait, as long as my Cao family is not destroyed, there will be a steady stream of people to kill you!

Even if you run to the ends of the earth, it won't work!

Lao Tzu will go first, go and wait for you below! ”

As he spoke, Cao Xiu's eyes slowly widened, and in the sound of gasping around him, he actually walked straight towards Cao Zhen.

Crimson blood kept dripping down the sword.

Cao Xiu's face was also twitching, but his steps were still steady, and he came to Cao Zhen in just two steps.

"All those who betray the Cao family must die!"

Cao Xiu's gaze, which was already about to dim, suddenly burst out with an astonishing light, and his originally drooping hand poked out at lightning speed!

In his hand, he held a short sword and stabbed directly at Cao Zhen.

At such a close distance, Cao Zhen didn't have time to dodge at all.

If you let that dagger stab him, he will surely die.

However, at the moment when Cao Xiu's right hand moved, the hilt of the sword held by Cao Zhen suddenly turned.

There was a small "snapping" sound on it.

Immediately, Cao Xiu stabbed Cao Zhen's hand violently, his eyes widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The tip of that short sword was only three inches away from Cao Zhen.

After a few breaths, Cao Xiu's face overflowed with blood again.

It's just that the blood that flowed out this time was dark black.

Cao Xiu slowly lowered his head and looked at the hilt of the sword again.

"You..."

As soon as he said this one word, Cao Xiu fell behind him and closed his eyes forever.

It's a long story, but it's only a quarter of an hour.

The Wei army, which had no main general, immediately became a headless fly.

Cao Zhen was originally the chief general of the Wei army and was famous in the army.

It didn't take much effort to completely absorb the remaining Wei army.

"Teacher, this..."

When Ma Tan saw this scene, he was so anxious that he was about to rush up.

They used as bait and lost numerous soldiers and horses.

In the end, it was good to let Cao Zhen pick up the cheap.

This kind of thing is unbearable for anyone.

"Come back!"

Zhuge Liang's face was a little gloomy, and he directly stopped the angry Ma Yan.

"Do you want all of our efforts to be in vain?

The king is still waiting for us in Chang'an, don't make any more accidents! ”

"But this..."Ma Jian really couldn't stand such humiliation.

"They just know we're not going to say anything.

That's why I dare to do this, there is no way, who let us beg someone to go! ”

Zhuge Liang pulled Ma Jian back into the dense forest.

Integrate the army and prepare to follow Cao Zhen to Chang'an.

On the surface, although he has been directing the army to absorb the Wei army, in fact, Cao Zhen's eyes have never left Zhuge Liang for a moment.

After seeing him pull Ma Jian back into the dense forest, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sure enough, this Zhuge Kongming is indeed very knowledgeable about current affairs!"

After sorting out the army, Cao Zhen no longer stayed and marched straight in the direction of Chang'an.

This time, the 80,000 army brought by Cao Xiu, excluding those who were exterminated by Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang at the same time, still had 60,000 troops left.

All of these 60,000 troops were absorbed by Cao Zhen.

Combined with the 40,000 troops he himself brought, the total was nearly 100,000 troops.

Cao Zhen's strength skyrocketed rapidly, and the momentum was monstrous for a while!

…

Chang'an, Taishou Mansion.

Xu Tian looked at the battle report in his hand, smiled slightly and put it aside.

It was the sad faces of Wei Yan and Pang who were standing in front of him.

"King, according to the original plan, Cao Zhen should have entered the city by now!

According to the latest reports, Cao Zhen's current marching speed has almost come to a standstill! ”

Pang Tong glanced at the military report that Xu Tian put aside, and said worriedly.

"Yes, my lord, this old thief has always been treacherous.

Now he has won such a big battle again, and has collected tens of thousands of troops.

Now his strength has returned to its previous size!

If he turns the gun now, he will directly attack Chang'an.

Then we will be attacked on both sides! ”

Wei Yan nodded and echoed on the side.

From the very beginning, Wei Yan and Pang Tong disagreed with Xu Tian's idea and let Cao Zhen lead an army to attack Cao Xiu.

In their opinion, how can a mere Cao Shuang control Cao Zhen, who is in military power?

Besides, once he has the strength, he can directly attack Chang'an.

When the time comes, Cao Shuang will naturally be rescued.

can also catch Liu Bei by the way, and it just so happens that Zhuge Liang is also in his hands now.

Of course, Xu Tian understood what they were thinking, and he had carefully considered all of this.

Without absolute certainty, how could he make such a big decision?

"Now, Cao Xiu's army has been wiped out by Cao Zhen!

His army was indeed absorbed by Cao Zhen.

But have you ever thought about how Cao Pi will react once he learns the news?

Should he immediately change his attitude and recruit Cao Zhen, or should he immediately pour the whole country's strength and eliminate Cao Zhen desperately? ”

Xu Tian looked at the two people in front of him and asked seriously.

Perhaps he didn't expect Xu Tian to ask such a question.

The two of them did not answer for a moment, but fell silent.

After a moment, Pang Tong replied thoughtfully:

In my opinion, if Cao Pi learned of Cao Xiu's defeat, and his two defeats, it was because of the same person.

In this way, he will definitely be annoyed!

So..."

As soon as he said this, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked up at Xu Tian and found that the other party was also looking at him with a smile.

"I see! With Cao Zhen, for Cao Pi, we are equivalent to having a powerful way to deal with it!

As long as Liu Bei's problem is dealt with again, there will be no problem with Jiangdong! ”

The conversation between the two was a little jumpy, and Wei Yan couldn't keep up with his train of thought for a while, so he could only look back and forth at the two of them blankly.

He kept nodding his head and making a very clear look.

"Then what is the king going to do with Liu Bei? Just send him back like that? ”

Immediately, Pang Tong asked something he had always wanted to know.

He's been thinking about it these days, too.

If Liu Bei was let go so easily, he always felt that something was wrong.

"If you don't have enough sincerity, you can't take him away!

Don't worry, Shiyuan, you'll understand when the time comes! ”

After leaving from Xu Tian, Wei Yancai really couldn't help it, and grabbed Pang Tong and asked with a glare.

"What was the military advisor talking to the king just now? Why can't I understand a word? ”

It's just that all he answered was the sound of Pang Tong's laughter...
