After Cao Pi came to Chang'an, he felt that his body was getting more and more tired, and he secretly vomited blood more and more times, and even passed out several times.

He knew that maybe his life would be short, so he had to hurry up and prepare to annihilate Zhao Hao in one fell swoop in the upcoming battle.

Even minor setbacks for a rising power are insignificant, but once this trend is reversed, it is likely that a powerful dynasty will soon collapse.

This is called potential.

"Although Zhao Hao's army is strong, its strength is only 50,000, and now our army has gathered more than 200,000 people. Cao Zhen coughed again and again as he spoke.

The people who followed him to Chang'an were Cao Wei's generals, and after listening to the emperor's loud speech, everyone did not echo the mood, a series of miserable whiteness and continuous loss of troops and generals had completely made them completely lose their previous indomitable spirit, and even Cao Ren, who had always been good at fighting hard battles, could not speak, so he could only bow his head silently.

"Report, the Shu army has begun to cross the river and turn north."

Emergency military information can be directly conveyed without permission, this is the rule that Cao Pi has just set, and the soldiers who report the military situation tremble in their tones, and they are also infected with all emotions.

Without waiting for Cao Pi to speak, Zhong Xuan had already asked, "How many people are there, are they still Yang Yi's department?" ”

The soldier hesitated: "It's not clear, but you can already see the handsome banner of the thief general Zhao Hao on the other side." ”

Zhao Hao is here? Everyone was terrified.

"It may be Zhao Hao's trick." Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "Zhao Hao has always been elusive when he uses soldiers, and he may not be there in the place where his handsome flag is, so I will deal with it calmly." ”

Cao Pi squeezed out a long sigh from between his teeth, and said, "Don't let this rat be scared, if he dares to come to Wuzhangyuan, I will share it with him there." ”

The messenger said: "General Cao Zhen said that he also saw that the thief army was recruiting ships and might want to attack Chang'an downstream, so please keep on guard." ”

Attack Chang'an?

There was a wave of absurdity in everyone's hearts.

Although Wuzhangyuan is not far from Chang'an, but along the Weishui Eastern Expedition, it is still necessary to break the martial arts and Huaili, Zhao Hao has few soldiers, and he should not rashly divide his troops at such a time.

"This must be Zhao Haosheng's plan to attack the west!" Sima Yi slapped his thigh and said: "Zhao Hao has always used troops to deceive, maybe his attack on Beiyuan is fake, and his sneak attack on Chang'an is true, the minister thinks that he should immediately strengthen the defense of martial arts, and don't let Zhao Hao succeed." ”

The tactic is this tactic, but in this way, Cao Wei does not have the extra strength to participate in the battle for the Northern Plains.

If the Han army stands firm in the northern plain, they can calmly attack Yongxian, once Yongxian falls, it is equivalent to the Wei army handing over the entire Qishan defense line, when the Han army has greater strategic depth, you can choose to attack and defend at will, and the Wei army can only choose to defend in the pass, which is absolutely unacceptable to the arrogant Cao Pi, and it is also absolutely intolerable to the Wei army now.

"First of all, we must ensure the strength of Yongxian." Cao Pi made a decisive decision, "If Yongxian is lost, then our defense in Chang'an is meaningless.

There are martial arts and Huaili in front of Chang'an, it is not so easy for the Shu army to sneak attack, you don't need to worry too much about me, you can use Chang'an City to attract the enemy,

The enemy has few people, even if we fight in one city and one place, we will lose a lot of money, as long as we can regain the lost territory, I, the emperor, will not do it! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Cao Pi's words made a group of Wei generals feel a burst of panic, they all bowed to the ground, begging the Son of Heaven to calm his anger, Cao Pi waved his hand, forcibly suppressed the itch in his throat, and said: "Go and prepare well, don't miss your arrangement just because I am here." ”

"Yes, you understand."

Sima Yi was assigned to reinforce Beiyuan, while Cao Ren was in charge of garrisoning Wugong, and once he found that the Han army really showed signs of gathering, he hurried to transfer troops from Chang'an, saying that he could not let the Han army jump directly down the Weishui to the foot of Chang'an City.

And the Han army, under the command of Wang Ping and Ma Yan, began to prepare to recapture the Northern Plains.

Before launching the battle to recapture the Northern Plains, Wang Ping led the army to attack several times, each time beating gongs and drums, and posing as a decisive battle to cross the river.

Cao Zhen, who personally commanded on the other side of the river, woke up in the middle of the night every time and hurriedly commanded his troops to deal with it, but after the thunder and rain were small, Cao Zhen also fell into a state of being on top.

He expected that the Han army would not attack before the spring ploughing, so he relaxed his guard slightly, but he did not expect that Wang Ping had already keenly observed the enemy's movements, and one night, he personally led the army to launch a fierce attack.

Wang Ping was not known for his bravery, but he had a tenacious character, strictly obeyed the law, and won the trust of the army.

The Wei army on the other side of the river also reacted quickly, but after all, they were slack, and they thought that it was another sneak attack with the same thunder and rain as before, and they didn't even beat the gongs and drums when they saw the Han army crossing the river.

When the sentry found that the Han army was coming in an unusually large number, Wang Ping had already taken the lead and entered the camp of the Wei army.

This is a one-sided war, the Wei army because of the large number of people, more than ten miles of the village, when the front sentinel found the Han army forward, the Wei army behind are still asleep in the assembly of Zhou Gong,

"I am Wang Ping, the commander of the Han Army, who dares to fight to the death with me!"

"I am not a flying army to join the army, and the acquaintance surrenders quickly!"

Wang Ping Ma Tan was holding a long knife, while shouting his name, while setting fire to the village, in the chaos, Cao Zhen didn't know how many enemies came, he wisely chose to abandon his front village, began to retreat back,

Wang Ping grabbed a horse and rushed directly into the retreating Wei army, but in the dark night, Cao Zhen lit thousands of torches, and the Wei army had already woken up from the chaos just now, and began to calmly form a counterattack under the command of Cao Zhen.

A dense rain of arrows shot at Wang Ping, who had no choice but to block with a shield, and seeing that there was no gap, he had to give up the plan to pursue.

In the early morning of the second day, Cao Zhen, who was not injured, made a comeback, and his Han army would definitely not be able to cross the river with all the troops in one night, taking advantage of Wang Ping's unstable foothold, Cao Zhen launched a general attack, and an army of 10,000 people rushed into battle as soon as he struck.

Wang Ping's perseverance played a huge role at this time, and the tenacious Wudang Fei army had long realized that the enemy would make a comeback, and they spent a night moving a large number of bows and crossbows and heavenly thunder from the opposite bank, and did not regard the heavenly thunder as a secret weapon, and threw it out directly when the Wei army launched the first wave of charge.

Explosions broke out, the Wei army and the Han army fought fiercely for many days, and they had long known that the Han army had such a weapon in their hands, although the explosion frightened many recruits who had just entered the battlefield, but the veterans ignored it completely, and still charged forward with their heads stuffy,

But the lethality of the rain of arrows still hit the Wei army hard, the terrain of the northern plains was flat, and the crossbows of the Han army could play a huge role, which once pressed the Wei army to raise its head.

But Cao Zhen is also a famous general in a hundred battles, and he is already familiar with such an arrow formation in the battle with the Qianghu coalition army.

As soon as he waved his hand, the formation of the Wei army suddenly became a lot looser, and began to attack the Han army in stages, and the main formation divided into many teams and began to surround the two wings.

This is the advantage of a large number of people, the Wei army can ignore the casualties and put on a decisive appearance with the Han army,

Wang Ping was also prepared, he seemed to be a roundworm in Cao Zhen's stomach, and he knew Cao Zhen's various copings well early, seeing that the Wei army was constantly killing from both wings, Wang Ping and Ma Jian each protected one side, and jumped directly into the battle group without waiting for the Wei army to approach.

Before Zhao Hao crossed, he thought that the Three Kingdoms were all battles between generals and generals, and later the leaders found that a person's bravery can indeed inspire the troops to fight, but if the generals are seriously injured or killed in the battle group, then the whole battle will show an irreparable situation.

So he also specially ordered his generals to minimize the number of times they led the charge, and the commander of the army who commanded thousands of troops could not always be a cameo captain of the daredevil.

But in the era of cold weapons, how can there be so much reason to speak of when it comes to fighting.

Wang Ping's martial arts are not high, and Ma Yan's martial arts are even worse, but once the two of them work hard, they can really exert huge combat power.

The bow and arrow of the Wudang Flying Army are powerful, and the hand-to-hand combat is not weak at all, the two sides are entangled, fighting back and forth,

The bowstring of the Wei army also kept ringing, Wang Ping fought with the knife on his body, gritted his teeth and held on, dodging and moving in the crowd, macheting several people one after another,

Those Wei soldiers above didn't care about the sea of swords and fires in front of them, they only knew that if they rushed up and stirred together, they would have a few more chances of victory.

The battle lasted from early morning to noon, and Cao Zhen's palms had begun to sweat slowly, but he still had no intention of retreating.

He had already recognized Wang Ping, and recognized that this was the fierce man who fought Zhang He in the street pavilion, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Zhang He's strong soldiers couldn't beat this guy, and he really couldn't blame Zhang He for being incompetent.

If you don't knock him out of the river today, I'm afraid that he will be like a nail, and he will be stuck into the defense line of the Wei army.

"Don't be afraid, the enemy has few soldiers, let's continue to attack!"

Cao Zhen just wanted to give such an order, and suddenly saw that a large number of Han reinforcements also began to land,

They held high the banner of their old opponent Yang Yi, and they had quickly joined the battle group, Yang Yi was much more terrifying to Cao Zhen's soldiers than Wang Pingke, seeing Yang Yi's banner, the Wei army, which had been fighting all morning, began to feel a panic, and the formation was already visible to the naked eye and began to collapse.

"Hey, it's still a little bit off!"

If there was still a chance to eat Wang Ping in one breath before Yang Yi landed, Cao Zhen couldn't help but feel frustrated by his caution, seeing that there were more and more enemies, he knew that he could no longer continue to play like this, and in desperation, he quickly ordered the troops to sing gold and began to retreat.

Retreat......

If you lose Beiyuan, it will be equivalent to handing over the control of the Wei River to the Han army, and Cao Zhen is very unwilling.

Wait, I will go to Chang'an to transfer troops again, and I can't say anything to let you people continue to run rampant.

Looking at the fluttering Yang Yi banner, Cao Xin couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.

"At this time, what is Zhao Hao doing?"
