"Oh? What's the big deal? Han Xuan asked in surprise.

"Yu Ji wants to support a 'son of destiny' and forcibly pull back the general trend of the world!" As soon as Yang Kun said this, Han Xuan and Chen Wu couldn't help but smack their tongues again and again.

Han Xuan touched his chin and pondered, while Chen Wu directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Son of Destiny? Who is it? ”

saw Yang Kun shake his head and said, "This ...... I don't know. Chang Gong also did not confess. ”

Chen Wu sighed, looked at Han Xuan, who was thinking, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Han Xuan analyzed: "For example, the situation has gradually become clear today, Cao Cao occupies the north, Liu Du occupies Xichuan, and we occupy Jiangdong. And Liu Bei is in Jiaozhou, and his strength is far inferior to ours. Since Yu Ji wants to support this so-called 'Son of Destiny', then he is most likely in Cao Cao's camp! ”

Chen Wu said to Han Xuan, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and march into the Central Plains! ”

Han Xuan smiled and waved his hand, Chen Wu didn't know what he meant. Han Xuan explained: "Chen Wu, didn't you find that this time I led the army to conquer Hefei, and there were very few soldiers with me? ”

"I'm just thinking it's strange, why didn't Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other generals come to this battle?" Chen Wu asked rhetorically.

Han Xuan was about to explain, but at this time, someone reported that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had led the army to victory and returned to their lives. Chen Wu was shocked: "Victory and revenge? Where did they go? ”

Han Xuan smiled and said to Chen Wu as they walked, and it didn't take long to arrive at the military plane, only to see Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin reporting to Han Xuan: "The last general Jiang Qin (Zhou Tai) has led my Jiangdong Navy to capture Qingzhou!" Now Wei Yan and Tai Shici are two generals in Qingzhou to guard the city, and Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of the lord! ”

"What!" Chen Wu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, but he complained a little about Han Xuan, the friendship between the two of them, Han Xuan actually didn't tell him about it in advance.

Seeing Chen Wu like this, Han Xuan said with a smile: "This is the plan of the Pang military division, my army is approaching Hefei, and I want to attack Hefei with all my might." In fact, they secretly sent our navy to cross the sea and attack Qingzhou, which was relatively weakly defended, from the sea......"

At this time, Pang Tongyi shook the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, came in from outside the house with a smile, and said to Chen Wu: "There are priorities, and Tong has never taken into account the general's concerns, looking at the general Haihan." ”

Chen Wu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart, but he was deeply jealous of Pang Tong, a strategist. He has suffered a big loss at the hands of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong is as famous as Zhuge Liang, and this time he also showed his talent, glad that he is not his opponent.

Pang Tong bowed his hand to Han Xuan and said: "I heard that when the Lord attacked Hefei, the enemy army was ambushed, and fortunately there was no danger. I hope that the Lord will take care of the general situation, and no longer come to the battle array! ”

Han Xuan agreed repeatedly, and changed the topic: "This time, I got Qingzhou, all thanks to the strategy of the military advisor. After Cao Cao learned about the battle in Jiangnan, he was afraid that he would be in a hurry to come back from Hanzhong, right? Hahaha! ”

"I'm afraid that Cao Cao's old thief won't be able to come back for a while, I heard the news from Xichuan on the road. After Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, Liu Du ordered Huang Quan to capture Sanba and kill Du Huo, the leader of the Ba tribe who had defected to Cao Cao, and others. Cao Cao learned that he ordered Zhang He to counterattack, and now Zhang He is attacking Padang and Brazil with all his might, and Cao Cao has to move the people to Hanzhong! Outside the house, a long-robed scribe walked in and said, it was Lu Su.

"Zijing is back! I can rest easy. Han Xuan smiled and stroked Lu Su's back and soothed.

Han Xuan ordered Yu to overturn the superintendent to transport grain and grass to Qingzhou, and help Tai Shici and Wei Yan defend Qingzhou in preparation for Cao's counterattack. On the other hand, a feast was held in Jianye to celebrate the achievements of the generals.

Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals laughed and thanked him, and Pang Tong also looked at Han Xuan at this time and said: "The lord of Tong Wen captured Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao in this battle, this person is brave and strategic, and he is willing to persuade him to surrender with his three-inch tongue!" ”

"I want to get Zhang Liao for a long time, and I have Lao Shiyuan!" Han Xuan agreed, and Pang Tong went to visit Zhang Liao.

Pang Tong came out of the military plane, looked to the west and muttered: "Kong Ming, what good plan will you offer in the battle of Xichuan?" Don't let me down! ”

…………

Hanzhong, Cao Cao's military camp. Sima Yi saw that Cao Cao was uneasy, and persuaded Cao Cao to take advantage of Liu Du's unstable foothold in Shu to take the land of Bashu: "Now that the prime minister's army is on Longshang, everyone in Shu is in danger, and Liu Du has to kill people every day to calm people's hearts." If you don't take it at this time, it will be difficult to take it in the future! ”

Cao Cao frowned, he also wanted to enter Shuzhong, but there were frequent rebellions in the rear. What's more, at this time, news came from the direction of Qingzhou, and Qingzhou was lost!

How could Cao Cao not be in a hurry, and ordered Zang Ba and Yu Ban to guard the pass west of Qingzhou overnight to prevent Tai Shici and Wei Yan from attacking.

At this time, Manzhong sent someone to send a secret report, Zhang Liao was captured by Han Xuan, and Cao Cao was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. He has always valued Zhang Liao, the most calm general he thinks, but now he has been captured by Han Xuan.

Cao Cao looked at himself with white hair in the mirror, and he didn't feel a kind of feeling of martyr's twilight years. Cao Cao came to visit the camp late at night, Sima Yi was feeding Cao Cao's war horses forage, Cao Cao looked at the tired soldiers under the firelight, and couldn't help but be poetic, and blurted out a song "Turtle Although Shou".

After Cao Cao finished chanting the poem, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu and others were full of praise, but Cao Cao looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed. At this time, Gao Ran escorted an old man to visit Cao Cao, and Cao Cao glimpsed that face very familiar in the firelight.

Cao Cao deliberately asked him, "Who is this?" ”

I saw that the old man smiled shamelessly at Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, have you forgotten to be here?" It's Liu Xiongming below! ”

It turned out that after Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, Liu Xiongming at this time had no way to retreat, so he had to come to Cao Cao again. Liu Xiongming and more than a dozen of his entourage were taken down by Gao Lan, and when Cao Cao saw him, he pulled Liu Xiongming's beard and said, "You old thief, where do I see you running today?" ”

Cao Cao had just lost Zhang Liao, a general, and was angry, and at this time he was very angry when he saw Liu Xiongming, a repeated villain, but Cao Cao did not pursue it.

Now that it is the time to employ people, Cao Cao restored Liu Xiongming's official position and transferred him to Bohai County to work. Liu Xiongming took his remnants of the defeated army to Bohai County to fight with Zang Ba and Yu Ban to block Tai Shici and Wei Yan.

In Cao Cao's rear, many royalists in the court of Xudu took advantage of Cao Cao's failure to return to the dynasty and stirred up a lot of chaos. Cao Cao wanted to return to his division, first stabilize the internal affairs, and then deal with Han Xuan and Liu Du, but he had been suffering from the great task of guarding Hanzhong without a general.

Cao Cao couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of this, he thought of Xiahou Yuan. During the Battle of Chibi, if Xiahou Yuan had not been killed by Huang Zhong, then he would have been the best candidate to defend Hanzhong at this time.

Cao Cao was sad, and suddenly Zhang He came, Zhang He saw that Cao Cao had just cried, and asked, "Why is the prime minister so sad?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Junyi, Qingzhou is lost, and the court is unstable. It's an eventful time now, and I want to return to Xu Du to preside over the overall situation. I only hate that no one can take on the big responsibility, if Liu Du takes the opportunity to attack Hanzhong, it will be difficult to control it in the future. ”

Cao Cao thought that Zhang He wanted Mao Sui to recommend himself to guard Hanzhong, but he saw Zhang He arch his hand and replied: "Prime Minister, why worry, General Lu Yi has returned victoriously from Song Jian." With General Lu Yi and Zhang He here, Liu Du will not be allowed to cross Yangping Pass! ”

"Oh? Where is General Koji? Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang He then led Cao Cao to see Lu Yi, at this time Lu Yi was reading the military book at night, Cao Cao caught a glimpse of Lu Yi so bearing, thinking that he could take on the heavy responsibility of guarding Hanzhong.

Lu Yi saw Cao Cao coming, and hurriedly came to worship: "The last general, Lu Yi, I don't know that the prime minister has arrived, and I have missed the distance." Please forgive me for my sins! ”

Cao Cao smiled and helped Lu Yi up, and laughed: "Song Jian's rats, how can he be the general's opponent!" Today, the general is fighting for the rebellion of the imperial court, and I should ask for credit for the general in front of the Son of Heaven! ”

It turned out that as early as 184 A.D. (the first year of Zhongping), when the Central Plains fell into the wave of the Yellow Turban Uprising, this Song Jian, Wang Guo and others rebelled against the imperial court in Liangzhou. Later, he and Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others seized Liangzhou, Song Jian proclaimed himself the king of Heshou Ping Han, gathered his subordinates in Caohan, changed the yuan, and placed hundreds of officials, for more than 20 years.

Previously, Cao Cao ordered Lu Yi to lead Zhang Ji and other generals to crusade against Song Jian, a native of Longxi who called Wang Zhiguan a chaotic more than 20 years in Caohan, and Lu Yi then sent troops from Xingguo, quickly marched and besieged Caohan, and it only took more than a month to break Song Jian, and since Song Jian, such as the prime minister, all the officials were beheaded.

Cao Cao knew that Lu Yi just wanted a high-ranking official, so he appointed Lu Yi as the general of Pingxi, the marquis of Han Yi Ting, and guarded Yangping Pass.

Lu Yi gladly accepted and was stationed in Hanzhong with Zhang He, Gao Ran and others. After Cao Cao took a series of measures to stabilize Hanba, he left Lu Yi and others behind, while he returned to Luoyang and moved more than 80,000 people back to Guanzhong.
