"How many months?" Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao raised his head a little tiredly, in the past few months, he has not slept peacefully, not just because of the battle situation in Hanzhong.

When preparing to march into Hanzhong, Cao Cao made a thorough deployment, first let Ma Chao explore the way, and then expelled Ma Chao, sent troops from Xiliang and Nanyang to attack Hanzhong, and there were strange troops all the way to Hanzhong through the Meridian Valley, and in addition to uniting Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou.

If it can succeed, Hanzhong may have already changed hands, Liu Bei let alone seize Yizhou, it is luck to escape back to Jingzhou alive.

But the outcome and development of the matter was a little different from the initial assumption, the war in Hanzhong was at a stalemate, and although Sun Quan agreed to form an alliance, but after such a long time, he had no intention of doing anything at all, obviously still waiting, and worse, those ministers in the court began to behave again.

But politics, that's what it's all about, the war is fighting to the current situation, it is impossible to go on according to his own wishes, whether it is Sun Quan or Liu Bei, it is not easy, he Cao Cao does not know how many winds and waves he has experienced in his life, and he is not anxious about the current situation, Cao Cao can afford it, and before the end of the battle of Yizhou, Cao Cao is still confident that he can attack Hanzhong.

As long as Hanzhong is won, the clowns who are jumping up and down now in the DPRK should be able to shut up, but ......

"Prime Minister, it's been half a year, our army has been sending scouts into the Meridian Valley these days, but so far no one has survived, General Miaocai is afraid that it will be ......" Cheng Yu couldn't say any more.

According to the grain and grass carried by Xiahou Yuan at that time, there was no movement in Hanzhong at this time, either there was an ambush in the Meridian Valley, or it was lost in the vast Qinchuan, and he starved to death.

It's just that he is afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to accept it, the prime minister's recent state is not very good, and Xiahou Yuan's loss, for Cao Cao, Cheng Yu is worried that something will happen to Cao Cao, so it will be terrible.

Cao Cao silently closed his eyes, what Cheng Yu thought in his heart, he didn't know that if the crockpot was not broken from Inoue, the general would inevitably die in battle, but in his heart, he always had some illusions.

Meridian Valley now seems to have been blocked by the other party, and Cao Cao doesn't want to think about it anymore.

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's appearance and didn't say anything more, he knew that Cao Cao had understood, but he just didn't want to accept it.

"Report~" A small school came to the door quickly and said loudly: "Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from Nanyang!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he opened his eyes, and a few smiles appeared on his face, Liu Beijun's main force is here, and the first-line troops of Shangyong cannot be too strong, Cao Ren is the general of the clan center that Cao Cao values a lot, I hope to bring some good news to myself.

Cheng Yu stepped forward, took the letterhead from the hand of the little school, walked quickly to Cao Cao, and bowed down to hand the letterhead.

Cao Cao took the letterhead, removed the fire paint, and unfolded it, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and then disappeared, Cheng Yu, who was standing at the bottom, could clearly feel that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot at this moment.

"Cheng ...... Prime minister? Rao has followed Cao Cao for many years, feeling the terrifying low pressure emanating from Cao Cao's body, Cheng Yu also trembled a little in his heart, and called in a low voice.

"Mengda?" Cao Cao closed the letterhead, and there was even a little smile on his face, but the next moment, the letterhead was slapped on the table by Cao Cao, and the bamboo slip was directly cracked, and gurgling blood gushed out from between Cao Cao's fingers.

Cheng Yu didn't know who Meng Da was, but the situation in front of him could make Cao Cao so angry, obviously the battle on the front line of Shangyong was not too optimistic, and he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he hurriedly ordered someone to send a doctor to help Cao Cao tie his wounds.

Cao Cao closed his eyes, and for a moment, he felt as if he was ten years older, and Cheng Yu silently picked up the scattered bamboo paper from the table and spliced it together.

Cao Hong died in battle!?

Cheng Yu looked at the handwriting stained red by blood, and felt a little chill in his heart, if Xiahou Yuan is counted, this time he went to Hanzhong, and two generals fell in the Cao clan one after another.

Not an inch of work has been built, but Cao Cao's side has indeed lost the generals one after another, this is not a good sign, looked at Cao Cao, Cheng Yu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally did not speak, the current situation, no matter what to say, it is useless, if the army is withdrawn at this time, for Cao Cao, the prestige will inevitably be greatly damaged, no matter what, it is impossible to withdraw now.

"The lonely heart is in chaos, Zhongde is my director!" Cao Cao held his head, and his head began to ache faintly again, but one thing he knew was that the order he gave at this moment might carry some emotions, at this time, Cao Cao must not be chaotic here, so he asked Cheng Yu to temporarily give orders on his behalf.

"Whoa!" Cheng Yu bowed in response and sent Cao Cao away.

This battle is not easy to fight!

Looking at the direction in which Cao Cao left, Cheng Yu sighed.

……

Liu Yi didn't know that the news of Cao Hong's death had only reached Cao Cao until now, but the battle situation in Hanzhong was like a quagmire at the moment, the two sides were deadlocked, Liu Bei's side was more than defensive, but he was unable to attack, and Cao Jun's side, in the face of the dangerous road, it was difficult to break through Liu Beijun's defense and enter Hanzhong.

Pang Tong was injured, and what Liu Yi was most worried about now was that Liu Bei would recruit Zhuge Liang into Shuzhong, in that case, no matter who was left to guard Jingzhou, I am afraid it would be easy to have friction with Jiangdong.

Along the way, Liu Yi kept sorting out the information he had collected from the front line over the past year or so.

Liu Zhang forced Liu Bei to hand over Zhang Lu, who had surrendered to Liu Bei, several times, and threatened Liu Bei with grain and grass, causing Liu Bei to resist and seize Baishui Pass first, and then Fu County.

This reason is much more sufficient than in history, because Liu Zhang did have a jealousy of Liu Bei and wanted to weaken Liu Bei, Liu Bei was forced to a corner and then rose up to resist.

When he went out with 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, not long ago, Li Yan of Mianzhu Pass led the crowd to surrender, plus the soldiers and horses of Baishui Pass, Fuxian County, and Brazil, all the way down, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses did not lose too much, but instead collected a lot of Shu troops, and now the strength is about 70,000, but it is stuck in the county and cannot advance an inch.

Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, Liu Bei obviously wanted to pacify Yizhou in a hurry, and then gather troops to deal with Cao's army, the current situation is caused by the failure of Yizhou to pacify, if Yizhou can be occupied as soon as possible, the situation will naturally be stabilized, but how to break this situation? The current situation is very different from history.

Liu Yi urged the horse to gallop all the way, and the road from Hanzhong to Jiamengguan had been repaired by him, which was quite smooth, but it was not difficult to catch up.

When he arrived at Jiameng Pass, Liu Yi stopped for a day, because there was no opponent around, so Huo Jun was also transferred to the front line by Liu Bei, and the guard of Baishui Pass was a small colonel, and the defenders were only three or five hundred.

Without too many pleasantries, Liu Yi stopped here, mainly for supplies, he ordered people to go to those factories built in the past, and mobilized a large number of cement, wood, and iron ingots to the front line.

Up to now, Liu Yi has not figured out what use he can use when he goes to the front line, or transfer these things to the front line, after all, it is his own business, and maybe he can come in handy.

Jia Meng's guard will have a bit of Huo Jun's bearing, meticulously carrying out military affairs, even if Liu Yi arrives, he will check the official documents, as for the mobilization of these materials, Liu Yi took out the transfer order given by Liu Bei before letting go.

For this meticulous attitude, Liu Yi agrees very much, the current situation is different, Jia Mengguan can only be said to be relatively safe, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's battle has been fought so far, the battle line is not only in the first line of Luocheng, Ba County, Guanghan These places still have a lot of Liu Zhang's men and horses are active, maybe when they will touch the rear, if the other party deceives the city gate, what can three or five hundred people do? At that time, Liu Bei's back road will really be cut off.

Liu Yi actually admires this kind of person who can complete his work meticulously, not flattering or bullying, such a general is the cornerstone of a force.

After asking the other party's name, Liu Yi set off early the next morning, although the road was not as easy as before, but it was finally a smooth road, and there were two thousand people responsible for escorting Liu Yi, and there were no blind thieves along the way.

When he saw Liu Bei again, he could feel Liu Bei's exhaustion, and when he saw Liu Yi, Liu Bei only barely showed a smile.

"Lord, how is Shi Yuan?" After Liu Yi saw the ceremony, he hurriedly asked, if Pang Tong really died, it would be a big loss for Liu Bei.

"I'm awake." Liu Bei took Liu Yi to Pang Tong's military tent, and before he entered the door, the smell of medicinal herbs permeating the surroundings came to his nose.

Pang Tong's appearance was a little miserable, according to Liu Bei's statement, at that time, Pang Tong saw that the city could not be attacked for a long time, and he was a little anxious, and he went to the front line to help Liu Bei break the city.

It's just that he is a military advisor, and he is doing what he does, but it is not his job to really go to the front line, and he doesn't understand many crises and survival skills on the battlefield at all.

At that time, Pang Tong was pierced into a hedgehog, and everyone thought he was dead, who knew that those arrows were not deep, and several vital parts were protected by the armor that Liu Yi gave him, and the most important thing was that his head was not shot by arrows, and he looked miserable, but he actually lost too much blood.

When Liu Yi saw Pang Tong, Pang Tong's face was still extremely pale, but according to the doctor's words, after half a year of meditation and recuperation, it was almost fine, but in the past six months, it is better not to work hard, otherwise you will fall ill.

"Bo Yuan, thank you." Seeing Liu Yi coming, Pang Tong's eyes lit up, and then he smiled bitterly.

If it weren't for the life-saving guys Liu Yi gave him, I'm afraid what I saw now would be a corpse.

"It's good to be alive, rest well, and I'll build you a bamboo tower later, so that you can rest in peace, and you don't have to worry about the battlefield."

"Bo Yuan has a strategy to break the enemy?" Pang Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Liu Yi and said.

"Nope."

Pang Tong: "......"
