When Cao Pi heard this, his face changed continuously, and then he turned into a look of disbelief and exclaimed.

"This is really a wild talk!! Not to mention that Zhuge Kongming is full of wisdom. And say that the terrain of this Chengdu city is dangerous, and there is Shu Road for the natural danger, the city is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are millions of soldiers and horses, it is difficult to conquer this city. Wen Bufan only has 20,000 troops, how to break through this Chengdu city!? ”

"War is unpredictable. In any case, the reinforcements of the other army have arrived, and the morale of the army will be greatly boosted. And our army has not much baggage, so we must not act rashly!! Everything needs to be done with care. ”

Cao Pixiao's eyes narrowed, his eyes were like burning flames, and he suddenly turned to report to the scout, and said in a cold voice.

"How many soldiers and horses are coming?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are about more than 3,000 people!"

The scout saw that Cao Pi's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was about to explode with monstrous anger, where did he dare to slack off for half a minute, and hurriedly replied. Cao Pi listened, the anxious and angry look on his face improved slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"If it's only three thousand, it's not enough. According to Xun Gong's opinion, what should be done? ”

When Xun You heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he persuaded quickly.

"Zhang Wenyuan is extremely brave, and he is not an idle person. Yong'an has this person to help, better than thousands of troops. At present, our army is short of food, and the sergeants have been fighting for a long time and will never be safe, and their morale has been frustrated. His Royal Highness also needs to focus on the overall situation, retreat back to Wucheng first, wait for the baggage team to arrive, be able to replenish, and then plan for the future. ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he was very displeased, and beckoned.

"Before the reinforcements of his army arrived, our army fled when he heard the news, if this matter came out, wouldn't he teach the world to laugh, my Great Wei Hu master and apprentice have a false name!?"

"This time and that time. Now the situation is very unfavorable to our army, I hope Your Highness will think twice!! ”

Seeing that Cao Pi had no intention of withdrawing the army, Xun You's expression changed, and he hurriedly persuaded him. Cao Pi sank, and suddenly said.

"So it was. Why don't you summon Huhou and Ziwen to come together and ask them together. ”

When Xun You heard this, Xu Chu and Cao Zhang were both war-loving people, so they naturally did not want to withdraw their troops. However, Xun You couldn't refute Cao Pi's intentions anymore, so he had to promise to agree. Cao Pi nodded, and then sent the left and right to summon. After a while, Xu Chu and Cao Zhang entered Cao Pi's tiger tent one after another, and after the salute, they sat down according to Cao Pi's eyes. Cao Pi then told him about the past. When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately stared at him and shouted.

"Zhang Wenyuan is not a young man, what is the matter!? Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, if he dares to come, he will definitely behead him and dedicate it in front of the tent!! ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed.

"Haha!! With the Tiger Marquis here, I am naturally not afraid of that Zhang Wenyuan. It's just that Xun Gong saw that our army was short of food, and the soldiers couldn't attack for a long time, and his morale was low, so he intended to withdraw to Wucheng. I also think that this makes a lot of sense, but it is also afraid of destroying the prestige of my Great Wei Tiger Master, and it is hesitation. ”

Xu Chu was stunned, got up angrily, looked at Xun You suddenly, and shouted angrily.

"Xun Gong doesn't have to worry too much. A certain army has enough food to last for 10 days. Why don't you order all the armies to fight against the water, conquer Yong'an within ten days, dare to be afraid of the battle, and deal with it by military law!! A certain person is willing to die for my Great Wei to capture Yong'an!! ”

Xu Chu is vigorous, the tiger is full of might, and he is domineering, as if even if it is a mountain, he can conquer it under his feet. When Cao Pi heard this, as a bold man, he wanted to open his mouth to give an order. Suddenly, Cao Zhang's expression sank, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Tiger is slow. Now that morale is sluggish and we are eager to fight, it may be difficult to accomplish things, and if we get what we want, our army will be wiped out. Before leaving, my father repeatedly told him that everything must be ordered by Duke Xun. ”

"If that's the case, why don't you just withdraw in such an embarrassment and teach that Tang thief to laugh at me and wait for the Great Wei Tiger Master!?"

Xu Chu's expression sank, and he said coldly. Cao Zhang smiled indifferently, his face was determined, his eyes were glowing with golden light, gorgeous and compelling, and he said unhurriedly.

"Naturally, this is not the case. If our army withdraws, the other army thinks that our army is short of food, and with the courage of Zhang Wenyuan, he will send troops to cover up and kill. But our army ambushed him in the middle of the road, and he was caught off guard. If it succeeds, the morale of the three armies will be greatly shaken, and our army will return to the offensive, fight with all its might, and conquer Yongan in one fell swoop! Otherwise, our army can also take the opportunity to withdraw to Wucheng! ”

Cao Zhang's plan is very exquisite. Xun You's face changed continuously, and finally he smiled, held his beard, and sighed.

"Ziwen's plan is very good, it can be said that he hasn't seen him for three days, he should be impressed!"

"Xun Gong praised falsely, it's just a little trick."

Cao Zhang seemed to be much calmer, and said with a light smile. Cao Pi, who was on the side, listened to the plan, but his face was extremely complicated, surprised and happy, but there was a little bit of inexplicable jealousy. And Xu Chu seems to agree with Cao Zhang's strategy, and he bows his head again and again.

Seeing that Cao Pi had not yet reacted, Xun You thought that he was still in shock, so he smiled and handed over.

"Your Highness, Ziwen's plan is very clever, and you should follow it."

As soon as Xun Yu said this, Cao Pi suddenly came back to his senses, laughed out loud to hide the embarrassment just now, finished laughing, and then said meaningfully to Cao Zhang.

"The so-called eating a trench grows a wisdom. Brother Zhang's good use of strategy, if his father found out, he would be overjoyed. ”

Cao Pi seemed to have something to say, Cao Zhang's golden eyes were deep and glowing, and after looking at Cao Pi for a while, he arched his hand.

"The royal brother won the responsibility of his father, and was able to command the three armies, if he can conquer Jianping this time, he will make great achievements and shock the Central Plains. He will take over the throne of Emperor Wei of the Great Wei one day, and it will come naturally. The younger brother should do his best to assist. ”

As soon as Cao Zhang's words came out, Cao Pi's heart couldn't help but twitch, he took a deep breath, and then laughed again. Cao Zhang also laughed loudly. Xun You and Xu Chu didn't make a sound, and stood quietly to one side. So Cao Pi followed Cao Zhang's plan and ordered the three armies to pack up that night, and after the third watch, they pulled out the village and withdrew. The three armies were given the order to prepare for their own work.

On the other hand, it was the time of the first shift. Wen Shun heard that the scouts were coming, Zhang Liao led troops to rush to help, overjoyed, and hurriedly went out of the city with Xu Shu, Deng Ai, Wang Shuang and others to greet each other, Wen Shun led everyone back to the city government, and set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Liao and others to come to the aid of the soldiers. During the feast, the generals sat down. After three rounds of drinking, Wen Shun hurriedly asked Zhang Liao about the battle in Chengdu. Zhang Liao's face was dignified, showing a little smile, and then he said one by one. When Wen Shun heard that his father had used thunder artillery to formulate a victory and lead the army to break through Chengdu, he was surprised and delighted. Xu Shu sighed with a little embarrassment.

"The king is really a god, my Datang country has such an artifact, how can it be Cao Weiye!?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he seemed to recall the scene when he fought fiercely with the Shu soldiers in Chengdu, his face was solemn, and he said with his head bowed.

What Xu Gong said is extremely true. At the beginning of the war in Chengdu, because of the dangerous terrain, Zhuge Liang gave advice to the Shu soldiers, which can be described as difficult step by step. But at critical times, the king ordered to use thunder cannons, such as thunder in the sky, and in an instant, the flames were overwhelming, and the Shu soldiers were instantly defeated, and our army attacked in a grand manner, so the battle was invincible. Later, his army wanted to defend Chengdu to the death, and slowly entangled with our army by taking advantage of the solidity of the city. However, the king put down one hundred and twenty-eight thunder cannons, stormed them for three days and three nights, and blew up their urn city and city gates, and our army was able to attack Chengdu!! He waited for the king to stabilize Xichuan one day, and our army was able to accumulate Ji

g Yangrui, don't say that this Cao Wei, even if it is the world, it is also a thing in the bag!! ”

Zhang Liao's words are loud and loud. Wen Shun, Xu Shu and others were fascinated by what they heard and were shocked. At this time, Wang Shuang frowned and said with a puzzled expression.

"The king has such an artifact, why didn't he take it out early, if so, why did he spend so much time and kill so many soldiers in vain to conquer Xichuan!!"

Wang Shuang is upright by nature and does not hide his mouth, as soon as this remark comes out, it is really disrespectful. Deng Ai's face was anxious, his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted loudly.

"Shut up!! I don't have a plan, I don't know the situation, I don't know the stakes, how dare I make a big deal out here!! The king is an immortal monarch, sympathetic to the corporal, and treats the army and the people as sons, how can he let my Xitang soldiers die in vain!? There is a deep meaning in this!! ”

Wang Shuang was drunk like this by Deng Ai, and suddenly knew that his big mouth was presumptuous, so he hurriedly attended and knelt on the ground to confess. Wen Shun had always known Wang Shuang's temperament, and he didn't blame him, so he beckoned, taught Wang Shuang to sit at the table, and then smiled at Deng Ai.

"The whole son is upright by nature, which is an unintentional mistake. Shizai doesn't have to blame too much. However, I have heard what you say, and I seem to know the deep meaning of my father, so I might as well say it. ”

When Deng Ai heard this, his expression was shocked, and Xu Shu, Zhang Liao and others all looked at him. Seeing that everyone's eyes in the tent were focused on Deng Ai, Deng Ai was not flustered, his face was solemn, and he was a little respectful, and said in a condensed voice.

"The king is eloquent and strategic, although he has made an artifact like a thunder cannon, but he knows that this artifact will definitely shock the world. At that time, I fought fiercely between the Western Tang Dynasty and Shu Han, and the war was tight. And Cao Wei was strong, with more than 700,000 soldiers. If our army had revealed this artifact earlier, the Shu soldiers would naturally be unable to stop it and have been defeated repeatedly. But like this, with the wisdom of Zhuge Liang, he will definitely gather the soldiers of the country and defend them to the death. At the same time, he sent someone to report Cao Cao. Cao Cao is the hero of the world, and he knows the stakes in it, if he finds out that this matter is as Zhuge Liang said, he will break the covenant with my Tang Dynasty and unite with Shu Han to crusade against my Western Tang Dynasty. At that time, because Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops earlier, the troops were preserved, and when Cao Cao raised his army, he attacked the east and east of the Tang River in my country. Zhuge Liang must send troops from Dongchuan. Cao Wei, Shu Han, the two armies came out together, my Western Tang was attacked by the enemy, and the two armies were powerful, although I had thunder cannons and other artifacts in hand, it was difficult to resist the general trend of the two countries, and the country would be in danger of destruction at that time. Therefore, the king endured the humiliation and burden, and waited for the opportunity to delay the display of artifacts such as thunder cannons!! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but cover his hands and applaud when he heard Deng Ai say it. Zhang Liao also showed a little surprise, and seemed to be impressed by Deng Ai. As for Wang Shuang, he didn't understand what he heard. But Wen Shun was determined, as if he wanted to go with Deng Ai, and then smiled again.

"In this way, why did my father reveal his artifact in the battle of Chengdu?"

At that time, Cao Wei had conquered Jingzhou and gathered more than 100,000 troops in Jiangling to prepare for the great cause of defeating Wu. Cao Cao was bound to win Eastern Wu and focused on it. The battle of Chengdu is very important, but if this city can be conquered, Shu Han will be destroyed. Therefore, the king took advantage of the artifact and attacked it in one fell swoop. By the time Chengdu was breached, Cao Wei had already fought fiercely with Eastern Wu in Jiangdong, and even if he learned that our army had such artifacts, it was difficult to turn the army back.

And when the battle between Cao Wei and Eastern Wu ended, my Western Tang Dynasty had already pacified Xichuan and accumulated Ji

G. Raise the sharp and stabilize the situation. Regardless of Cao Wei's war in Jiangdong, whether it is a success or a failure, it will definitely be greatly damaged and the national strength will be damaged. I'm not afraid either! ”

"Good! Good!! Good!!! Shi Zai is a talent of a hundred miles, and in time it will be the pillar of my Western Tang Kingdom!! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but get up suddenly, and he applauded endlessly. Zhang Liao also covered his palms and praised Deng Ai. At this time, even Wang Shuang was completely enlightened, and nodded again and again in amazement, with a simple expression, saying that it was so.

Deng Aide was so praised by everyone, but his expression was still neither humble nor arrogant, without arrogance, and his bearing was calm. Xu Shu was even more overjoyed when he saw it, and then secretly cast a look at Wen Shun, only to see Wen Shun smiling firmly and not surprised.
