The dark night sky was covered with dark clouds, perhaps because of the rainstorm that had just fallen, and the moon was hiding.

Such nights can always give people a feeling of oppression.

Looking at the pitch-black environment around him, Cao Zhen, who was riding on a war horse and walking in the front, looked indifferent.

Since receiving Cao Pi's order, the murderous intent in his heart has not stopped.

For Cao Zhen, he has always admired him.

The dignified general of the Wei State, who has made great achievements in his life, followed Emperor Wu to conquer the world, and has always been an existence that Cao Xiu looks up to.

It's just that he never thought that the other party would surrender.

In Cao Xiu's eyes, anyone can surrender, but Cao Zhen cannot.

He is the face of the Wei State and the pride of their Cao family.

Such people have all surrendered, isn't this a slap in the face of their Wei State?

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Xiu's anger was uncontrollable.

"Hurry up!"

After shouting behind him, Cao Xiu sped up and ran forward.

This time, although Cao Pi only gave him 80,000 troops.

But these people were all elite troops of the Wei army.

And his purpose this time is not only to recapture Chang'an, but also to personally slaughter Cao Zhen's father and son, and put their heads in front of Cao Pi.

Before leaving, Cao Xiu made a military order in front of Cao Pi.

If you can't complete the task, come up.

Of course, his approach has also brought great benefits.

Not only did Cao Pi look at him differently, but he also made a promise that after success, he would be the general of Wei.

This is the result that Cao Xiu wants.

Even if he failed in the end, because Cao Pi looked at him differently.

His family is rich in this life, and there should be no problems.

Cao Xiu is different from Cao Zhen, he is more interested in practical things.

In his opinion, the more practical things are, the more attractive they are.

Just when Cao Xiu fell into his imagination.

In front of him, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

In an instant, the guards who followed behind Cao Xiu immediately walked out of the two.

Draw two feathered arrows from the basket behind you as fast as you can.

He drew the bow in his hand into the shape of a full moon and pointed straight ahead.

It seems that such an outcome has been known for a long time.

The man who came galloping on horseback in front of him roared with all his might before he could get close.

"Don't let go of the arrows, I'm a former army scout, and I have important military information to tell General Cao!"

Hearing this, the two guards put away their bows and arrows.

However, they didn't go back.

Just in case, two more came out from the rear.

Together with the previous two, Cao Xiu was surrounded in it.

Quickly drew the swords they carried with them, and the four of them looked at the people who were getting closer and closer in front of them with cold faces.

After a while, I saw a young man wearing a scout uniform and riding a war horse, pulling the reins of his horse not far from Cao Xiu.

The front of the war horse was raised high, and it stopped in front of Cao Xiu with a neigh.

"General Qiyu, Chang'an has an important military situation to return!"

The scout turned over and dismounted, took out a piece of silk silk from his bosom, took it by one of the guards armed with a long knife, and handed it to Cao Xiu.

At the same time, another guard very sensibly lit the torch and approached Cao Xiu so that he could read the handwriting on it.

After cooking, Cao Xiu angrily threw the piece of silk directly on the torch.

"This traitor has become a general again!

You wait for me, wait for me to cut off your head with my own hands, and you will know whether this general is good or not! ”

Cao Xiu was about to go crazy, he originally had a glimmer of hope for Cao Zhen.

Even he still hopes that he can not only get the position of a general, but also rescue Cao Zhen.

Then use the facts to restore his admiration.

But now, he has nothing to say!

Bowing to the general on such a public occasion can only show that Cao Zhen really surrendered.

Not only did he surrender, but the other party also gave him such a high courtesy.

The scout, who knelt on one knee in front of Cao Xiu, seemed to feel the murderous aura coming from his body, and lowered his head and didn't dare to move.

"Set up camp in place, rest before leaving!"

After a long time, Cao Xiu opened his mouth and ordered.

Now, he is not in a hurry, the other party's intention to worship Cao Zhen as the main general is obvious, that is, he wants to use him against himself.

Well, this gives him a better chance to complete the task.

Just when the army dismounted and prepared to set up camp to rest, another horse galloped and stopped not far from Cao Xiu.

The man was stinking and had a twig tied to his head.

Looks like this guy should have been in the forest for more than a day or two.

"The villain meets General Cao!"

When this dirty scout knelt in front of Cao Xiu, he wasn't sure if this guy had been sent out by himself.

It wasn't until the other party's commander came to confirm that Cao Xiu let him come to his face.

"What's going on?"

With a slight sniffle, Cao Xiu looked at the person and asked.

"General Qiyu, the villain was ordered to find out the news of Yizhou.

So after a few days in the wild woods, it became like this! ”

"What's the matter?" Cao Xiu suddenly came to his senses.

"Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Yizhou, wants to go to Chang'an in person!

Now they are halfway there, and in less than three days, they will be in Chang'an! ”

After listening to the scout's report, Cao Xiu's breathing became short.

This is great news for him.

"Take them down to rest and take good care of them!"

After giving an order, Cao Xiu walked alone towards the pitch-black front.

He needed to think about it, and judging from the news he had just gotten, this might be a great opportunity for him.

It's just that you need to plan it well.

About half an hour later, Cao Xiu was still pacing back and forth in the distance.

Deputy General Chen Qi held a wide robe and hesitated and walked towards Cao Xiu.

It wasn't until the robe was draped over Cao Xiu's body that he reacted and looked at Chen Qidao with a smile.

"Why don't you rest?"

"Didn't the general take a break either?" Chen Qi chuckled.

"Chen Qi, you have followed me for so many years, and you can be regarded as the person who knows me best.

Now we have an opportunity in front of us.

You say, how should we go? ”

Obviously, Cao Xiu was very excited at this moment, and even spoke with a hint of trill.

"Zhuge Liang of Yizhou wants to take people to Chang'an.

They are making a deal, and the purpose is Liu Bei!

You say, if we don't fight Chang'an now.

Directly intercept Zhuge Liang and make this transaction non-existent.

What will be the result, you say? ”

Chen Qi was taken aback by Cao Xiu's idea, but this was in line with his character.

Cao Xiu has always been a person who does not play cards according to common sense.

"As long as we catch Zhuge Liang, Chang'an will immediately be in chaos!

That's our chance! ”

When Chen Qi reacted, he clapped his palms and laughed and said...
