Cao Cao sat cross-legged, listening to the news from the soldiers standing in the camp tent, and his brows gradually frowned.

"Stop!"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers from talking, and said impatiently: "You said a lot of things, including the number of soldiers in the Shu army, the situation involving Wang Can's ministers, and even Wang Can's generals. But what about the speed of the Shu army? Where is the Shu army currently located? And when is the Shu army expected to arrive in Luoyang? Go back and find out these things. ”

"No!"

The soldier clenched his fists and left the tent in a gloomy manner.

After a while, Sima Lang walked in, bowed his head and said, "Minister Sima Lang, please see Your Majesty." ”

When Cao Cao saw that it was Sima Lang, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Boda, you have been dealing with grain, grass and ordnance all day long, and you are so busy that your feet don't touch the ground, how can you have time to come to me." "Although Sima Lang is not as good as Sima Yi, his ability to handle government affairs is very high, and he is highly valued by Cao Cao.

Sima Lang arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the second brother sent a soldier to send a letter back, and asked Weichen to hand it over to Your Majesty in person." ”

"Oh, Zhongda has a letter, show it to me."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, very curious about Sima Yi's letter.

Sima Yi and Ma Chao infiltrated the state, killed Gao Gan with the help of Wei Qi, and forced the landing to judge the match. With the assistance of the trial, the state has been taken, and is actively preparing for the next big war. Sima Yi's letter at this time must be very important. Moreover, Sima Yi and Ma Chao will be Cao Cao's killer features and cannot be ignored.

When Sima Lang heard this, he took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it in.

Cao Cao read it carefully, and the smile on his face converged and became solemn.

He shook the letter in his hand and said, "Boda, Zhongda's letter came too timely. My arrangement for Yangzhou and Runan and other places is to let the local assassins try their best to defend, but there are big loopholes. If Zhongda's letter is a little later, when the war between Wei and Shu occurs, the strength of the Wei army will be in Zhongmu County, and it will be too late to send troops. ”

Sima Lang listened to Cao Cao's praise, and was also happy for Sima Yi in his heart, and asked, "Your Majesty, what did the second brother say in his letter, is it so important?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it's important, it's still too late to make arrangements." Boda, go and give an order, and gather all the generals and civil officials in the army to the big tent. ”

"No!!"

Sima Lang turned to leave, going to carry out Cao Cao's orders.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the military generals of Wenchen rushed to Cao Cao's tent. Whether they were dealing with military affairs or training soldiers, they all put down what they were doing and went to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss matters.

The big tent was crowded with people, all of whom were Wenchen generals under Cao Cao, and they were full of talents.

Cao Cao glanced at the high-spirited general and nodded with satisfaction.

He coughed lightly twice, and the whispering in the tent immediately disappeared, and everyone was calm and waited for Cao Cao to speak. I only heard Cao Cao say in a deep voice: "Today, Sima Yi sent a letter saying that the Shu army may have a four-way army to invade Wei. After reading Sima Yi's letter, I think it makes sense, we must take precautions in advance, and I summoned you for this purpose. ”

Man Chong clenched his fists and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, which four-way army is there?" ”

Cao Cao said slowly: "Merge the state, with Huang Zhong and Gao Shun as the first army." ”

As soon as these words came out, the pot immediately exploded below.

Bingzhou was captured by Sima Yi, how could there be an army all the way? Ridiculous! Absurd! Besides, Sima Yi is so sure that there are only Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, and there is no Zhao Yun? The generals discussed a lot, with a look of disbelief on their faces, while Wen Chen thought about it carefully, thinking about the reason why Sima Yi said this.

Mao Jue stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, not to mention that Sima Yi has already taken the annexation of the state, it is impossible for Wang Can to still have the army of the annexation of the state, is Sima Yi sure that Huang Zhong and Gao Shun are leading the army?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Xiaoxian (Mao Jue) Gong is reasonable, Sima Yi is messing around!"

As soon as Mao Jue spoke, the generals in the army echoed one after another.

Cao Cao's henchmen and advisers did not speak, they all knew that Sima Yi was extremely talented and full of strategy, and what he said would not be believed, there must be some truth.

"Shut up, what a noisy fuss. This is a barracks, not a downtown area for buying and selling vegetables. If you have the courage to stand up and speak in front of everyone, you only know what kind of ability is it to chirp crookedly below? Cao Cao shouted impatiently, and his face turned cloudy. As soon as Cao Cao became angry, the temperature of the camp dropped by several degrees.

When the generals saw Cao Cao's anger, they immediately shut up and did not speak.

Cao Cao looked at Mao Jue and said, "Xiaoxian, Zhong Da already knew that there was such a question, and he already had an answer. ”

Mao Jue immediately said: "Please Your Majesty to solve your doubts." ”

Cao Cao said unhurriedly: "Wang Can led the army north to fight with me, because it is located in the north, the role of the naval army and infantry is definitely not as good as the cavalry, so Wang Can must transfer back to Zhao Yun and take Zhao Yun's cavalry with him." Zhao Yun is now in charge of the light cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and can come and go at will. The remaining Huang Zhong and Gao Shun combined to become the first army. ”

Cao Cao gradually smiled and said, "The purpose of Huang Zhong and Gao Shun is to lead the army east out of Huguan, and then cross the Taihang Mountain, enter Jizhou, capture Jizhou and Youzhou, and cut off the hinterland of our north. It's a pity that Wang Can didn't know that the state was broken, and this army could not succeed because of Zhongda's plan. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Xiaoxian, you are satisfied." ”

Mao Jue smiled and retreated.

Liu Ye arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since Zhong Da has pointed out Wang Can's plan and Wang Can's intention to use troops in the letter, you can finish it all at once." ”

Chen Qun and the others immediately chimed in and asked Cao Cao to finish directly.

Cao Cao smiled: "Okay, I'll just say it directly." Zhong Da asserted that Wang Can sent troops this time with a total of four armies. The first army is the Bingzhou Army just mentioned, which was led by Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, intending to take Jizhou and Bingzhou, cut off our hinterland, and let us lose the largest grain and grass base. ”

"The second army is the Shu army led by Wang Can, and this army is the main force of the Shu army. There are Zhao Yun, Lu Meng, Pang De, and even Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, who are powerful. They came to Luoyang, ready to fight us. Its intention was to defeat the army led by me and occupy the lands of Yanzhou and Qingzhou. ”

"The Third Route Army was presided over by Zhang Liao, the county guard of Nanyang, and supported by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue of Xiangyang. In addition, Wang Can will definitely arrange for the rest of the generals and strategists to help strengthen Zhang Liao's strength. This army poured all the strength of Jingzhou and could not be ignored, and their goal was Runan, and then they went north or east. ”

"The Fourth Route Army is dominated by Xu Shu, the current Yangzhou assassin, with Tai Shici, Lu Su and other Jiangdong Wenchen generals, as well as Wang Can's naval governor Gan Ning, deputy governor Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. The strength of this army is also very strong, and their goal is to go north to Yangzhou, and then take Xuzhou, so as to advance north. ”

Cao Cao followed Sima Yi's letter and told the four-way army.

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "Once Runan falls and Yangzhou falls, Wang Can's Third and Fourth Route armies will converge and become the most powerful team ever. Although the main battlefield is in the north, the situation in the south cannot be ignored, once the situation in the south collapses, it is the embankment of thousands of miles to collapse in the anthill, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and we will not be able to attack Wang Can with all our strength. ”

Zhang Jaw stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Please give your Majesty an order, the last general is willing to go to the south to defend against the enemy." ”

When the rest of the generals heard this, they all got up one after another and asked to go to war.

Liu Ye arched his hand and said: "Since you know the arrangements of the Shu army, you only need to deal with them one by one, please give your Majesty an order." ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The main battlefield between us and Wang Can is in the north, and the generals who go to the south to preside over the overall situation are mainly defensive. I don't want merit, but I want to be innocent, and I want to defend the territory of the south. ”

When the generals heard this, their hearts were cold.

If you focus on defense, you still don't go to the south, and it's better to stay in the north to fight and make meritorious contributions.

Cao Cao didn't care what the generals thought in their hearts, and shouted: "Cao Ren, Gao Ran listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

The two looked at each other, expecting that they would be thrown to the southern battlefield to carry out a defensive policy, and they were in a state of amazement. However, Cao Ren still looked serious and did not expose the thoughts in his heart.

Cao Cao instructed: "With Cao Ren as the governor of Runan, supervise the affairs of Runan, and Gao Ran as the deputy marshal to assist Cao Ren." ”

"The last general obeys!"

The two didn't dare to refuse, and immediately agreed.

Cao Ren thought for a while, clasped his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, the last general will supervise the affairs of Runan, can he have the right to be arbitrary?" Obviously, Cao Ren is not satisfied with defense, and also wants to make meritorious contributions.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and said, "I give you the right to be arbitrary!" Don't underestimate the enemy. ”

"The last will bow to God."

Cao Ren looked overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Cao Cao looked at Yu Ban and shouted in a deep voice: "Yu Ban, Shi Lian, and Han Hao listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

The three of them stood up and clenched their fists and shouted.

Cao Cao instructed: "I appointed Yu Ban as the governor of the capital, supervising Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Forbidden, I also give you the right to arbitrarily act cheaply. Shi Jian and Han Hao assisted Yu Ban and guarded Yangzhou. ”

"The last general obeys!"

The three of them agreed, and Cao Cao said again: "Yu Ban, you are rigorous, you are a veteran in the army." This time I went to Yangzhou and acted carefully. Moreover, Yangzhou's assassin Li Tong is also a master of the art of war, you cooperate well with him, defend the land in the south for me, and do not allow Xu Shu to take a step forward. ”

"The last general will live up to Your Majesty."

Yu Ban is very excited, holding the power of one party, this is a big opportunity!

Cao Cao also instructed: "There are Sima Yi and Ma Chao in the north to preside over the overall situation, and there is also Youzhou Assassin Shi Xiahoudun to guard one side, and there is no need to send people there." The rest remained in the army, ready for a decisive battle. ”

"No!!"

The rest of the Wenchen generals agreed, their faces filled with excitement.
