The sun of September, tirelessly baking every inch and every wisp of the earth, for this kind of enthusiasm, most creatures are obviously a little disliked, in the northwest of the Central Plains, on the avenue that cannot be seen at a glance, there is nothing, in addition to the loess or loess.

Gradually, a pair of long figures appeared from a distance, gradually approaching, adding a touch of different tones to this single northern desert.

Looking closely, I found that it was a troop of soldiers and horses, the soldiers were covered with black armor and steel helmets, holding a strong shield Ligo, although the appearance was very majestic, but walking in this hot land, it was also a little tired, the pace was heavy, under the black armor, the inner armor was already wet, the side of the face, the forehead was already wet, compared to those cavalry, the infantry was even more difficult, squinting, gritting teeth, dragging the heavy body forward.

And at the very front of this team, a strong general, riding forward, breathing much more smoothly than the others, not sweating as the others, in excellent condition.

"Is there any news from Chang'an?" As he walked forward, the general said lightly, unable to hear a trace of emotional change.

On the side, a man who was wearing armor but looked more like a scribe, propped up his wide sleeves with one hand to shield himself from the scorching sun, and waved a fan with the other. These two people are Cao Zhen and Sun Li.

While the two were talking, a fast horse appeared on the horizon, and the soldiers immediately saw the advancing army, and they couldn't help but shake the rope in their hands and gallop quickly.

When he reached more than ten meters in front of the army, the hand that had previously held the reins suddenly loosened, jumped out, jumped out of the horse, and then landed on his feet, his body was half bent, his palms were against the ground, and after a little balance, he immediately ran towards Cao Zhen quickly.

"Report! The governor of the capital, Kebineng has led the army to the west of Huaili sixty miles, is expected to arrive in Huaili this afternoon, General Zuo ordered a small to come to ask the governor, what should I do? ”

Pulling the reins slightly, and after the horses sat down, Cao Zhen asked, "Kebineng really wants to attack Chang'an?" ”

Hearing this, after the herald sank, he also temporarily organized a language: "Back to the Governor of Dadu, after receiving His Majesty's order, General Zuo immediately sent people to dissuade Kebineng from going west, but Kebineng said that all this was a misunderstanding, and they had no intention of attacking Chang'an, just because the grain and grass in Xipingguan were intercepted by Ma Chao, and there was no grain to return to the north, so they came to borrow grain!" ”

After listening to the herald's words, Sun Li looked confused and asked Cao Zhen: "Governor Dadu, since this Kebineng doesn't want to be an enemy of my Great Wei, then what should we do, should we borrow grain to let them go back to Xianbei, or take the opportunity to ask for some benefits?" ”

I saw Cao Zhen smile disdainfully: "Ask for some benefits? What can they give us, what can they give me Dawei? ”

Touching the stubble that had not been shaved for a long time, and there was already some hair long, Cao Zhen said lightly: "Since Your Majesty said that Kebineng intends to attack my Chang'an, then he is going to attack Chang'an, Your Majesty will let someone come back, and so-and-so will come back to clean up his Kebineng!" ”

"Isn't this to provoke the contradiction between Da Wei and Xianbei?" Sun Li has a god and does not know the way.

"Sun Li, haven't you seen it through? From the time His Majesty forced us, our goal was no longer the Shu Kingdom, and the sword in our hands was no longer waved at the Shu army, but directly aimed at him Kebi Neng, since Kebi Neng took power, what he did in my north was not too much? Your Majesty will have no resentment? Will you not be angry? It's just that Shu Wu is staring at Nan, and His Majesty doesn't dare to tear his face with Xianbei easily. ”

"Now that the opportunity has come, Your Majesty naturally wants to get rid of this great calamity and calm the north. As for what you said about provoking the Great Wei and the contradiction between the two sides of Xianbei, that does not exist, once Kebi Neng has an accident, with his younger brother's strength, he can't control the Xianbei tribes at all, and the leaders of the Xianbei tribes will naturally not obey him, and the Xianbei country, which was finally unified by Kebi Neng, will inevitably fall back into the melee, and where will he get the time and energy to invade my border again? ”

"Your Majesty, is this trying to stabilize the north?" Sun Li asked cautiously.

Pointing to his lips, Cao Zhen immediately shook his finger slightly.

"Your Majesty is not something we can speculate, but now that Kebineng's army has suffered serious losses, there is a shortage of soldiers and food, and morale is low, now is undoubtedly the best time to clean him up."

After speaking, Cao Zhen turned his head to the herald and said: "Tell Zhang He to let him send someone to inform Kebineng that my Great Wei can lend him grain, but the premise is that if Great Wei has a need in the future, can he Kebi wantonly shirk it." After that, let Zhang He personally lead the five thousand iron cavalry in Chang'an City, rush to Huaili, and three days later and the governor of Bendu in Huaili to form an east-west flanking attack on the remnants of Kebineng, doesn't he like to go south to my Great Wei jump? Then we will completely leave him in the land of my Great Wei. ”

As he spoke, Cao Zhen clenched his fists, and a flash of ruthlessness flashed.

"No!"

After receiving the order, the herald immediately turned around and prepared to get on the horse and go back to his life, only to hear Cao Zhen behind him say again: "Change a horse for this brother!" ”

The ancients often said, the soldiers are fast, and the horse can always buy a lot of time, this person came in a hurry, and it was this hot day, and the horse must be in a much worse state when he sat down.

"Thank you, Governor!"

Seeing the herald soldiers disappear into the sky again, Cao Zhen instructed Guo Huai on this side: "After you lead the army to the palace, wait for the Pontus Governor to lead the cavalry and Zhang He to exterminate this group of barbarians." ”

When Guo Huai heard this, he was a little worried: "Dadu Governor, there are many Yi soldiers, is it too dangerous to rely on the more than 20,000 cavalry existing in our department, plus the 5,000 cavalry of General Zhang He?" The Metropolitan Governor should go with the army, and the last general will go! ”

"A group of defeated soldiers, what are you afraid of him doing? Ma Chao can beat them so embarrassed with less than 10,000 people, can there be 25,000 iron cavalry who can't clean up this group of remnants? ”

"The Grand Duke!"

Seeing that Guo Huai was still trying to dissuade him, Cao Zhen raised his hand to stop him: "Hugh wants to say it again, the governor of Pontus is determined to do so!" ”

After speaking, Cao Zhen immediately rode his horse back to the army a few moments later, and ordered the cavalry to march to Huaili in a hurry.

After all, Cao Zhen has been in charge of the army for many years, and after a while, more than 20,000 cavalry of the Wei army will be assembled and ready to be killed, and with Cao Zhen's order, more than 20,000 people will immediately ride their horses and rush out of the army, and the dust will go eastward.

Worried about Cao Zhen's safety, but unable to dissuade him, Guo Huai had no choice but to order to speed up the march. On the loess, I saw that the long black shadow moved faster and faster.

In the same piece of loess sand, a group of people and horses also walked slowly, but compared to Cao Zhen, these soldiers and horses are obviously much messier, it can be said that there is almost no military discipline, most of the soldiers drooped their heads, and some even couldn't stand the hot ghost weather, opened their clothes and armor, and behaved quite untidy. Only a few of the weapons in their hands are still standing, most of them are dragging spears, if it weren't for some mandatory regulations, they even want to throw them away, after all, because of the soldiers' cultivation of Xuan Qi, their physical fitness is better, and the weapons in their hands weigh more than thirty pounds, and they can be powerful when they are wielded, but it is not easy.
