Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were all rewarded, and under the leadership of the two, they went to the stables that Ma Chao temporarily built in the water, fertilizer and grass on the outskirts of Chengdu to check the war horses and the three Liangzhou horse taming masters, Liu Feng rushed to the mansion, he wanted to hold a grand celebration banquet for Zhao Yun and Ma Chao in the city, but because it was a bit hasty to start preparing now.

There is more importantly, at this time the night has fallen, Liu Feng knows that his two wives must have known about his return from Jingzhou, and are looking forward to it in the house, if he fails to go back for some reason this time, it is a little unspeakable in Liu Feng's heart, and in Liu Feng's heart, it is indeed his two flower-like wives who have been looking forward to it for a long time, and when they met before going to Jingzhou, they were a little hungry and thirsty, and these days are just hard to endure.

The celebration banquet of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao was set for the next day, Liu Feng hurriedly returned to the mansion, sure enough, as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw that there were many more servants and miscellaneous servants in the mansion than before, although these people had not seen Liu Feng, but when Liu Feng entered the mansion, they all gave him a deep salute, Liu Feng at first glance, he knew that all these people were carefully selected by the two ladies, all of them were honest and honest people, and Liu Feng was very similar to Liu Feng's subordinates in Jiangling Mansion at that time, which made Liu Feng very satisfied.

In an instant, Sun Shangxiang and Meng Yao had already heard the voice, Liu Feng at first glance, both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and their faces and hair buns were carefully dressed and sorted out at a glance, and the two of them had been studying martial arts since childhood and reading poetry and books at the same time, and their temperament was very fresh and refined, as if they were immortals descending to earth, Liu Feng was stunned on the spot for a while, and he couldn't wait to hold it into the bedroom with one hand, but just as he was about to do so, Liu Feng's stomach suddenly screamed.

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and said softly: "My sister and I knew that Ziwei would be hungry when he returned this time, so he had already prepared a table of wine and food himself, and discussed that if the general returned to the mansion after dealing with important matters, he would share this table of wine and food with the general, and finally sleep on the same pillow. My sisters don't have to sleep alone anymore. ”

When Liu Feng heard this, he saw the shy look on the face of the second daughter, and the three of them had not been together for a long time, Liu Feng's heart was full of blood, and he grabbed one person with one hand, and walked straight to the hall where the wine and food had been prepared.

After entering the hall, Liu Feng closed the door tightly, and told those miscellaneous servants not to approach the hall, and after nearly an hour, the utensils in the hall that were originally full of dishes were empty, and at the same time, Sun Shangxiang and Meng Yao, who were originally neatly dressed, were even more ruddy, and their clothes were already scattered, and the outermost clothes were thrown away, leaving only close-fitting clothes.

After this slow meal finally ended, Liu Feng really did as he imagined before, and walked into the bedroom at the back of the hall with half support and half hug, as he had imagined before, and walked into the bedroom at the back of the hall with half support and half hug......

It is said that just when Liu Feng was proud of the spring breeze, won many victories, and was enjoying the blessings of Qi people on the bed in the mansion, Cao Cao, who was far away in Yecheng, had a completely different situation, and he was looking at an urgent battle report with a dignified face, and the more he looked at this war report, the more ugly Cao Cao's face became.

Although it was late at night at this time, Cao Cao's court was also full of many generals standing in front of him, after Cao Cao read it, he handed the letter to Cao Zhi who was standing beside him, while looking at the ministers, and said slowly: "Zihuan was already in a bitter battle with Zhuge Liang in the land of Nanyang, and he wanted to drag Zhuge Liang with his strength advantage, and then concentrate his forces to fight a decisive battle with Zhuge Liang when he couldn't bear to attack on a large scale, but he didn't want Zhuge Liang to lie dormant for some time, but he would form an alliance with Jiangdong Sun Quan later, Sun Quan sent his new governor of the left capital Lü Meng to lead 20,000 horses to help, so that Zhuge Liang and Lü Meng were each other's horns, under the two attacks, Zihuan was defeated and returned, and in desperation, he sent a letter asking for help, if he was defeated again, I am afraid that not only can not take the land of Runan, but even the Nanyang that was recaptured before is afraid that it cannot be preserved, what is the best way to solve Zhuge Liang and Lü Meng's disaster. ”

After everyone heard this, they also looked at each other, and discussed with each other, everyone knew that the land of Runan was indeed quite similar to Jiangxia, even if it could not take Runan, but it could not take Nanyang Zhuge Liang back, Nanyang is a place that goes deep into the hinterland of Cao Cao's Central Plains, if it is taken by Zhuge Liang and gathers heavy troops, it can directly threaten Cao Cao's important town Luoyang, which is by no means something that Cao Cao is happy to see, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Pi was sent to lead heavy troops.

Seeing this, Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhi and asked, "What does Zi Jian think this matter should do?" ”

Cao Zhi knew that most of these things would have to ask him first, so after a little thought, he replied: "Although Zhuge Liang united with Sun Quan, even if he was defeated twice, the enemy army in the hands of his brother was still not inferior, and the reason for the failure was only because Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng attacked twice, and the elder brother had no one to help." ”

Cao Zhi said this, he stopped talking, looked at Cao Cao, as soon as this remark came out, all the ministers praised Cao Zhi's character, Cao Zhi said this, it already showed that he would not because of the competition with Cao Pi for the position of Cao Cao's heir and instigated Cao Cao to give up Nanyang, give up Nanyang, even if he gave up Cao Pi, under the repeated defeats, Cao Pi's competition for Cao Cao's inheritance must be precarious, but obviously, Cao Zhi used his actual actions to show that he and Cao Pi's competition, It will not be at the expense of Cao Cao's half-life campaign in exchange for the inheritance.

"Since this is the case, it is necessary to send a capable person to lead the army to Nanyang to help, and the land of Nanyang must not be taken away by Zhuge Liang again, otherwise our army will be swept away in the Central Plains."

Seeing that Cao Zhi had no opinion, Cao Cao set the tone of the matter. That is to send troops to help Cao Pi, repel the combined forces of Zhuge Liang and Lü Meng, and protect strategic places like Nanyang.

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked around and asked, "I don't know who dares to ask for orders to lead the army to Nanyang?" ”
