After a while, Hao Zhao's expression froze and asked Jiang Wei.

"At this time, Gaochang has been taken by Pang Lingming. Gaochang is the county town of Luling, a critical place, if we can't take it, even if we take down the neighboring town, it will be useless. I wonder what General Jinpeng has planned!? ”

Jiang Wei listened, sank his face, and said to Hao Zhao.

"Pang Lingming actually sent troops to take Luling, I am afraid that Jiaozhou and Guiyang have been lost. In addition to Guiyang and Luling, there are still three counties of Lingling, Hengyang and Changsha in southern Wunan. The thieves of the Western Tang Dynasty will also send troops to fetch them. Although we have sent someone to inform General Zhang earlier, we do not know what the situation is now. According to Jiang's view, you can't act rashly now, but wait for Your Majesty's order to make progress! ”

When Hao Zhao heard this, he bowed his head heavily, but he also agreed, and said in a condensed voice.

"What General Jin Peng said is extremely true. In this way, I will wait for this city first, recuperate, and when His Majesty's order arrives, I will enter it, and with the sharpness of my Great Wei Army, I will be able to attack and conquer everything! ! ! ”

Jiang Wei smiled and said to Hao Zhao.

"You and I are both generals of the Great Wei, Bodao doesn't have to see the outside like this, just call Jiang in the future."

When Hao Zhao heard this, he was not hypocritical, and he also admired Jiang Wei, the two of them can be said to know heroes and heroes, and they gave up.

"If Boyo ordered so, then Hao is presumptuous."

Hao Zhao said, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had formed a lot of friendship.

On the other side, in Gaochang City. Although Jiang Wei withdrew his troops and retreated, Pang De did not dare to relax, and sent scouts to explore for several days. One day, the scout reported that Jiang Wei's troops were in the Yellow Tiger City, and there was no movement for the time being. Pound listened to it, and he groaned with a pair of lion eyes, and said slowly.

"This Jiang Boyo is outstanding, if his soldiers have finished resting and gathering momentum, it is really a problem to raise tigers. Do you have a plan!? ”

As soon as Pang De's words fell, Ma Dai's expression tightened, and he said in a hurry.

"The general doesn't have to worry about it. At the end of the previous round, I didn't know that Jiang Boyo was powerful, so I had a contempt for it, and if I led the army to the enemy again, I would never be defeated by it!! The last general pleaded with an army until the Yellow Tiger City was down, and he was ashamed of the snow!! ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his face was anxious, and he hurriedly attended the admonition.

"No!! According to the general's words, the Marquis of Long is now taking the three counties of Lingling, Hengyang and Changsha. With the prestige of Longhou, presumably Longhou has already won the three counties. There are five counties in southern Wu, and Cao Lao Thief actually sent Jiang Boyu to take Luling and Guiyang, and he will definitely send a general to take the three counties of Changsha. Longhou is invincible all over the world, and he is also strategic, wise and brave, and no one under Wei Kou is his enemy, and he will be able to protect the three counties of Changsha! When the time came, the old thief Cao learned that my Western Tang Dynasty wanted to take the land of Wunan, so he would not dare to act rashly, and quickly taught Jiang Boyao and others to withdraw their troops. At this point, why not the general did not go to Changchang to fortify the city and defend it. In this way, it does not take many days, and the five counties of Wunan can be peaceful. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu's voice fell, Gu Shao, who had always put the people first, also hurriedly attended and echoed.

What Zhang Gong said is very true. What's more, our army has made a big break for a while, and the sharpness has been poked, and I hope the general will think twice!! ”

When Pound heard this, he couldn't help but groan. Ma Dai was unwilling to be defeated by Jiang Wei's hands, and shouted coldly.

"In this way, don't you teach that Jiang Boyu to think that I am afraid of the Western Tang Xiongjun and am afraid of him!?"

Zhang Xiu frowned, but he didn't back down, and replied quickly.

"The reason why the people of southern Wu wanted to surrender to the Western Tang Dynasty was that they hoped to repeat the peace and avoid the suffering of war. If you easily move the army now, you will be afraid of losing the hearts of the people!! ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, Ma Dai's face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly.

"Uncle Zhang!! You are presumptuous!! ”

General Ma was furious. At this time, the situation in Luling and Guiyang is not stable, and the people's hearts are scattered. ”

Gu Shao saw that Ma Dai was angry, and hurriedly persuaded. At this moment, Pound seemed to have made a decision, and the lion glared and shouted.

"Enough!!"

Pound's voice was like a thunderbolt, and everyone was suddenly shocked, and their faces changed, and they all bowed and said their sins. Pound's face sank, and he said slowly.

"What Uncle Zhang said is indeed reasonable. The king once said to us that the country is a boat, and the water is also a man. Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat. Since the Great Wei Dynasty defeated Wu, it has been more than two years, the people of Wunan are worried day and night, and the people are panicked, and they all hope to get peace as soon as possible, so they descend to my Western Tang Dynasty. Public opinion is irreversible, and it turns out that Jiang Boyu will retire soon, I will wait and wait for the opportunity to go, first stabilize the hearts of the people in Luling and Guiyang, and then plan for the future!! ”

Zhang Xiu and Gu Shao were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked them together. When Ma Dai heard this, he seemed to understand the truth, so he didn't say more. At this point, Pang De also did not move, while teaching Zhang Xiu, Gu Shao and other Eastern Wu ministers, each with its own strategy, to stabilize the people's hearts, and on the other hand, he sent people to inform Zhao Yun.

There was no war in Luling for the time being. On the other hand, it was said that Cao Cao had won the land of northern Wu, and was recuperating from his injuries in the palace of Wu County, waiting for Zhang Jaw and Jiang Weijie to report. Suddenly, one day, Zhang Jaw sent someone to report, saying that Changsha, Hengyang, and Lingling counties were all taken by Zhao Zilong, the general of the Western Tang Dynasty. When Cao Cao heard this, the details like being able to swallow the sky, red and demonic, slapped it with one palm, and suddenly burst out with a turbulent murderous aura like a stormy wave, and all the civil and military forces in the hall did not change color, and even more timid people trembled and trembled. There was a dead silence in the hall, either still in horror, or for fear of angering Cao Cao, he didn't dare to say much. Suddenly, Cao Cao actually laughed loudly, and his laughter was flamboyant

g, in the main hall suddenly reverberate, the sound is endless.

"Hahaha!! Good! Good!! Good!!! Wen Bufan, you deserve to be my lifelong enemy, but this time I despise you too much. If the Great Eastern Wu is a country, I personally lead hundreds of thousands of troops, almost all of them are lost, and the soldiers are lost, so I can take the land of northern Wu, and you will take more than half of it without much effort!! You're declaring war on me!? ”

In the end, Cao Cao's whole face was excited and hideous, like an angry Nine Demon King, the momentum was terrifying, people didn't dare to look directly, and his whole body was like a faint flame. Cao Zhang's eyes were glowing with golden light, and he came out angrily, his face was full of murderous aura, and he shouted loudly.

"Father doesn't have to be angry!! Just a thief, what a worry, the child is willing to lead an army, and he will capture that Zhao Zilong to see him!! ”

Cao Zhang can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, Zhao Yunwei has been famous for a long time, and His Royal Highness has no generals except Cao Zhang, but no generals rushed to attend and echo him. Cao Cao saw that all the generals were timid, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced at the generals coldly. All the generals did not change color, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to look directly. Cao Cao smiled even better, and there was a frightening chill, and suddenly turned his eyes to Jia Xu and said coldly.

"In Taifu's opinion, what should I do!?"

When Jia Xu heard this, his expression sank, and he walked out in stride, giving up his hands.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, Zhao Zilong has taken Changsha and other counties, defended the city, and occupied the geographical advantage. In recent years, our army has repeatedly fought vicious battles and suffered heavy losses, and the remaining soldiers are all tired. The matter has come to this point, it is better to take Nanchang as the boundary and divide the land and defend it! After a while, Wu Bei will be able to supply his troops and raise a picture again!! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes narrowed, the cold light was pressing, and he groaned.

"If that's the case, won't I let that Wen Bufan take advantage of me in vain!?"

Cao Cao's demeanor was not only furious, but also irrepressibly excited, as if he was eager to immediately start an all-out war with the Western Tang Dynasty. Who knows, Cao Cao regards Wen Han as a lifelong enemy, and the two were lifelong friends in the past, and they are lifelong confidants. Cao Cao waited for this battle and fought with Wen Han for many years! Jia Xu also seemed to understand Cao Cao's intentions, and bowed his hand.

"At the beginning of Wubei, the people's hearts were not stable. This situation is very unfavorable to our Great Wei. Please also ask Your Majesty to be patient, when the time comes, I will wait for the Great Wei Wenwu, and we will all be united, sacrifice life and forget death, follow the death force, and rule the country with Your Majesty! ! ! ”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Sima Yi also hurriedly came out and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, what the Taifu said is extremely true. At that time, the world has become a trend of two heroes competing for hegemony. Our Great Wei is based in the Central Plains, with strong national strength, and the four prefectures of You, Hebei, Yan and Qing in the north are all rich in population, money and grain. At this time, the south has obtained the land of Jingzhou and Wubei, and combined the two states of Xu and Henan, and the four roads are developed, each echoing. The prosperity of the country is not comparable to the Western Tang Dynasty. As long as Your Majesty rests for a while, when the time comes, he will raise the army of the country, why not worry about the unification of the country!? ”

Cao Cao listened, took a deep breath, and the raging anger and murderous aura suddenly converged. His Royal Highness felt that the force that made people tremble a lot had weakened a lot, and they all gasped for breath. At this time, I heard Cao Cao laugh again, and responded to Sima Yi and Jia Xu with his chin bow.

What the two Aiqing said is reasonable. People suffer from not being satisfied. After many years of war, the soldiers worked hard, and the people complained, if I didn't know how to stop and forcibly went to war, wouldn't I become a faint king!? At that time, Dawei was in turmoil everywhere, and it was even cheaper!! ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, suddenly there was a cheer from outside the hall, reporting that Jiang Wei had sent someone to report the war. When Cao Cao heard this, his expression tightened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and it seemed that he also expected that most of Jiang Wei would also be defeated by the West, so he hurriedly summoned in.

When the soldier had finished his prayers, he quickly reported. Cao Cao heard that Jiang Wei did not rush in, and he was overjoyed, and he heard that Pang Deshang was attacking Gaochang, and he had the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, but his face turned gloomy, and he was very sorry.

"Boyo is thoughtful, and this time it is very likely that he will take advantage of the chaos to take Gaochang and seize Luling. It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Jia Xu listened to it and said with confidence.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be too concerned. Your Majesty is the son of today, the destiny of heaven returns, and the land of the world will be returned to Your Majesty sooner or later, so why should you care about the gains and losses at this time? ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed loudly, and after discussing with everyone, he then passed on the orders of each sect to teach Zhang Jaw to temporarily guard Nanchang in case the thieves of the Western Tang Dynasty came to attack. Jiang Wei listened to the order, so he withdrew his troops on the same day, retreated to Linchuan, and echoed with Zhang Jaw who was guarding Nanchang to protect the boundary of northern Wu.

With Cao Cao's order, about half a month later, Jiang Wei led his troops to withdraw from Huanghu City. Pound heard about it, but he didn't cover it up in a big way, and slowly advanced to prevent him from cheating. In the end, Jiang Wei withdrew all the way from the Luling realm to the Linchuan realm, guarding all the key points. Seeing Jiang Wei's withdrawal to Linchuan, Pang De expected that Cao Cao had no intention of taking Wu Nan, so he guarded the pass, and at the same time sent the meteor horse to rush to the night to report to Zhao Yun. Let's say that Zhao Yun has been in Changsha and other counties for more than a month, and all cities and counties are gradually stable and uneventful, and seeing that the Wei army has not sent troops for a long time, his heart is a little stable. Suddenly, the meteor Malay reported that Jiang Wei, the general of the Wei army, also withdrew from Luling and retreated to Linchuan. So far, the five counties of Wunan are all included in the realm of the Western Tang Dynasty. But Zhao Yun has always acted cautiously, teaching Pang De to guard the border of Luling closely and not to relax. Then, about seven or eight days later, Cao Cao sent Guan Ning, a doctor, as an envoy, and rushed to Changle to see Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun heard that the envoy of Great Wei was Guan Ning, his face couldn't help but change slightly. Let's say that this Guan Ning, the word You'an, is a native of Zhu Xu, Beihai County, erudite and talented, rich in five cars, very popular in the Central Plains, and Huaxin, Bingyuan and called 'a dragon'. Wen Shun, who was on the side, also heard about Guan Ning, and said in a deep voice.

"Emperor Wei sent this person to see him, there must be something important to discuss. Could it be that Emperor Wei wants to make peace? ”
