Adou nodded: "What the teacher said is good. Originally, I did plan to take Qingzhou first. ”

"But doesn't Your Majesty think it's too slow? I know. Now, with Jizhou alone, it can recruit 300,000 troops, and the richness of Jizhou has absolutely no problem raising 450,000 people. Cao's has been operating in Hebei for more than 20 years, and has already won the hearts of the people. Xu Shu said.

Xu Shu was the former prime minister of Wei, and he knew much more about Wei's political affairs than Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. Since Xu Shu estimates ten years, it should not be much worse.

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there are thousands of generals under Cao Rong's command today, but none of them can command hundreds of thousands of troops, but there are countless talents who can command tens of thousands. His Majesty attacked Hebei, and who Cao Rong sent to take command was a very crucial issue. In Cao Ying, there are only a few people who are qualified to take command. ”

"Who are they? Ask the teacher for advice. ”

"Wei Wei Xinbi, the old Cheng Mouguo, was a general in the past. This person is very good at guarding, and quite prestigious, if this person leads the troops, I am afraid that it will be entangled very much, very troublesome, if I am Cao Rong, send Xin Bi as the commander, it is the best policy; Yangzhou Assassin Shi Sun Li, proficient in military affairs, quite a military achievement, martial arts group, although not a handsome talent, but the commander of three or four hundred thousand, more than enough, to send this person in command, is also the best policy; Xiahou Wei, the general of Zhengdong, the fourth son of Xiahou Yuan, is no less talented than his brother Xiahou Ba, if this person is in charge, it can be called the middle strategy; Cao Zhen's son Cao Shuang has been talented and has been by Cao Zhen's side since he was a child, but this time he was left in Yecheng by Cao Zhen, but Cao Zhen lacks experience and is so ambitious, saying that he is talented, but it is just Zhao Kuo's talent on paper, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Who does the teacher think Cao Ei will send to take charge?"

"Back then, Xin Bi and his brother Xin Ping Shi Yuan Shao. Later, Yuan Shao was defeated, Xin Bi rebelled against Xin Ping and surrendered to Cao Cao, just by virtue of this, Cao Rong did not dare to let Xin Bi take command; Sun Li is good friends with Sima Yi, but Cao Rong has never liked Sima Yi, so he should not send Sun Li as the commander, at most he will send him as the deputy commander; Xiahou Wei is a child of the clan, but he is also His Majesty's uncle, not long ago His Majesty had recruited Xiahou Ba, with this experience, Cao Rong did not dare to let Xiahou Wei be handsome. ”

"So, it must be Cao Zhen who is handsome?" Adou asked.

"Ten times it is." Xu Shu nodded, and then continued: "Cao Shuang is very smart, not to mention that he lacks experience, although he is a good and ambitious person, but if he is given three or five years of experience, I am afraid that he will be Cao Zhen again." ”

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"I thought that if we wanted to attack Hebei, we had to do it as soon as possible. can't give Cao Ei time to breathe, and he must use lightning speed to greatly hurt Cao Wei's vitality, so that Cao Ei will no longer have the strength to turn over! ”

Adou was slightly stunned, Xu Shu went around in a big circle, and finally returned to the original place, Xu Shu changed the law to persuade himself to take Youzhou first, and then attack Jizhou on three sides.

After a long time, Adou took a deep breath, and then asked, "Teacher, how about you come to lead the troops this time?" ”

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he immediately shook his head: "This matter must not be, I have been in Cao Ying all these years, I came to lead the troops, and the soldiers will definitely not accept it, at that time, the soldiers did not obey the orders of the commander, but it was not good." ”

Xu Shu said, but a trace of relief rose in his heart, since Adou said so, he decided to attack Youzhou first according to his plan.

……

Jicheng.

Zhao Yun once again placed the official seal of Hanzhong Taishou in front of Tian Yu.

"Sure enough, how did you think about what happened last time?"

"Zilong, give me some more time...... I still have tens of thousands of brothers under my command, and there is Deng Ai in Beiping, let me think about it again. ”

Zhao Yun's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said, "Guorang, do you think that the conditions I offered are not enough?" My brother has known each other for more than 40 years, and if you have anything, what else can you ask? Tell me directly. I don't dare to say anything else, I can do what you can do! ”

"Zilong, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I really haven't thought it through yet. Tian Yu said with a bitter face.

At this moment, Tian Pengzu walked in from outside.

"Father, something is wrong!" Tian Pengzu rushed in, and just saw that Zhao Yun was also there, so he hurriedly stopped talking, and then bowed slightly at Zhao Yun: "Peng Zu has seen Uncle Zhao." ”

"Peng Zu, what's the matter? What's wrong? Tian Yu asked.

"Well, this ......" Tian Pengzu hesitated, secretly looked at Zhao Yun, and then looked at Tian Yu again.

Zhao Yun was just about to get up and leave, but Tian Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk, it's all at this time, what else can be a big deal." ”

"Yes, father. The news just came from Youbeiping that Deng Ai had surrendered Gongsun Yuan! ”

"Deng Ai surrendered Gongsun Yuan? He has an army of 100,000 under his command! ”

"Father, the 100,000 army also surrendered to Gongsun Yuan with Deng Ai, and Gongsun Yuan is collecting these 100,000 people. According to the Tanmalay newspaper. Now Gongsun Yuan's vanguard Beiyan has entered Yuyang County, and will soon attack our Jicheng. ”

"......Huh" Tian Yu took a deep breath, and then asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, now the closest to Youzhou should be General Ma Qiu of Bingzhou, I don't know how long he will be able to reach Jicheng?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Guorang, give up Jicheng!" Ma Qiu's cavalry also had to guard against annexing the state, and if they wanted to help Youzhou, they needed to transfer troops from Luoyang, and it was too late. ”

"How can this be done, what about the people of Jicheng?"

"Guorang, don't worry. Gongsun Yuan is not a Karasuma person, so he won't do anything to the people. Now, on the contrary, we should withdraw from Jicheng as soon as possible, first maintain our strength, and then recapture Jicheng when we have the opportunity. ”

"Jicheng is the capital of Youzhou, and Jicheng must not be lost!"

"Guorang, look at the point, there is still Shanggu and Daijun in the west, Daijun is connected to the state, we will retreat to Daijun first, and then fight when reinforcements come!"

"Zilong, no. I've lived for more than sixty years, how can I not understand that this thing is not so easy to take! Tian Yu pointed to the box containing the official seal of Hanzhong Taishou, and then said: "If I don't have Jicheng in my hand, this Hanzhong Taishou, will I be safe with it?" It's just a dai county, it's all barren and poor countryside, even if you add an upper valley, it's not as good as a Jicheng! ”

"Guorang, you're too worried. Don't you still have 30,000 elite soldiers in your hands? And you have your Tian Guo to let you go, just the top half of Youzhou! ”

"Zilong, don't tease me."

"Guorang, I'm not kidding you. You have been in Youzhou for so many years, and the top ten officials in Youzhou have a relationship with you! With this alone, your Tian Guorang is worth half of Youzhou! ”

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

It stands to reason that the current Cao Shuang should still be in the period of filial piety, but the front-line war is urgent, and Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou have been lost one after another, and now there are only three places left in Wei, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou. In this case, Cao Shuang is filial piety and is not at ease.

The hall was gloomy, except for Cao Zhen's tablet, only Cao Shuang was sitting alone in the hall.

Biqiu Jian shook in lightly and looked at Cao Shuang who was sitting on the ground. Sighing helplessly.

Cao Shuang turned his head, looked at Biqiu Jian, turned his head back, and said softly: "Biqiu, I want to avenge my father." You've got to give me a hand! ”

"Uncle Zhao, now you are not strong enough."

Cao Shuang nodded: "Yes, a few days ago, Uncle Cao Yu sent someone to assassinate that Liu Adou, but he didn't succeed. What should I do? ”

"Uncle Zhao, if you want to take revenge, you must have military power. Nothing can be done without military power! ”

"Biqiu, you mean to let me ask Your Majesty for soldiers?"

"That's right, go and ask Your Majesty for troops, let Your Majesty worship you as the commander, and lead the army of my Great Wei State! In this way, you will have a chance of revenge. Biqiu Jian nodded and said.

"But my qualifications are not enough, the DPRK has more experience in leading troops than me, and there are many people with deeper qualifications than me, this handsome, I'm afraid it won't be my turn!"

"Uncle Zhao, you are wrong, the position of this marshal belongs to you. In the court, your qualifications are naturally far inferior to others, and you have never led troops to fight alone, but now Your Majesty, can you still trust others? Besides, the 6 Xun of Soochow, can't a scholar also be able to go to the altar to worship the handsome? You are the son of General Cao Zhen, and now Your Majesty's most trusted person is none other than you! ”

"Biqiu, you come to help me, be my military advisor!" Cao Shuang said suddenly.

"Hehehe, Uncle Zhao, you and I have known each other for many years, who am I not helping you?"

……

Yecheng, the Imperial Palace.

The news of Sima Yi's surrender and persuasion of Xuzhou Assassin Shi to surrender to Eastern Wu finally reached Cao Rong.

For Cao Rong, Sima Yi's surrender was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue. Cao Zhen died, Xu Shu surrendered to Adou, and now even Sima Yi surrendered to Jiangdong, and he also sacrificed Xuzhou with him.

The three pillars of Wei all fell at once, and Cao Rong at this time, in addition to disappointment, was more angry.

Next to Cao Ei, there were two people standing, one named Liu Fang and the other called Sun Zi, both of whom were ministers of Wei and were very favored by Cao Ei.

"Hey......" Cao Rong sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, you better go and rest first!" Liu Fang opened his mouth and said.

"Rest? The national capital is almost forgotten, and I still rest...... Hehe! Cao Rong laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Your Majesty, now we still have the land of Sanzhou, and we can still fight! However, the minister thought that for the sake of today's plan, he should first secure Qingzhou. Sun Zi looked at Cao Rong's face, and then said: "Your Majesty, that Qingzhou Thorn Shi Zang Ai is the son of Zang Ba, that Zang Ba was the leader of the Taishan thief back then, even if he surrendered to Taizu, he still has a thief nature, I do my own thing, and I think Zang Ai is unreliable!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Send a capable person to replace Zang Ai and guard Qingzhou!" (！ )
