Luoyang City.

Cao Cao was lying on top of the soft collapse, his eyes were closed, his brows were tightly locked, and cold sweat the size of beans was flowing on his forehead.

This damn headache made him miserable.

"Father, are you better?" A handsome young man asked a little nervously.

This young man is the Cao family's Huang Xu'er, Cao Zhang, and now in Luoyang City, the only prince who has Cao Cao with him to cultivate.

"Father is fine!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, his voice was low, but it was very tough.

"Your Majesty, relax a little!"

Hua Tuo knelt beside him, sealed the acupuncture points with silver needles, and then the incense was there to relieve his pain: "His spirit is too tight, it will increase the pain!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his breath became calmer, and his spirit suddenly relaxed a lot.

With Hua Tuo's skillful hands, his pain began to fade.

"Whew!"

About half an hour later, Cao Cao opened his eyes, took a big breath of air, and after a cold sweat, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, and this was the way he survived.

"Father, are you okay?" The young Cao Zhang was overjoyed.

"It's just a little illness, but my father is naturally fine!"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Zhang, who was looking at the heroic and extraordinary, smiled.

"Your Majesty, you still have to cultivate well!" Hua Tuo put away the silver needle and said in a deep voice.

"Yuanhua, why did I contact the sick recently?"

Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo suspiciously and asked.

Although he had a headache, he had not been so frequent before, but this is the second time this month, and it is really a little abnormal.

"Your Majesty, I'm still looking into this matter, but I'm guessing. Your Majesty doesn't often stay up late during this time, which will lead to frequent headaches! ”

After Hua Tuo checked Cao Cao's pulse, he said cautiously.

"I've really been overworked during this time!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought about it before nodding approvingly, and his gaze softened a lot. During this time, the battle between the North and the South has always haunted his heart.

There has not been much news from the south and north, which makes him feel relieved, and he is naturally not rested enough when he has trouble sleeping and eating.

"Your Majesty, I have said many times that you must cultivate well for this headache, and if you work too hard, it will definitely cause an aggravated reaction. You must grasp a degree in this regard! ”

Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cao and instructed: "I will appropriately prescribe some mental relieving drugs to assist your pain, but the most important thing is to have a good rest!" ”

"Imperial Doctor Hua, I'll keep an eye on my father and rest!" The young man Cao Zhang's eyes flashed and he said very firmly.

"I know!"

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Zhang with a softened gaze, then sat up from the soft collapse, nodded and said.

"Your Majesty. This really can't be ignored and must be ......"

Hua Tuo's tone was deep again. He chattered a few words, and then left Cao Cao's palace, put it back in the medicine house, and began to prescribe medicine for Cao Cao.

"Ziwen, help me up, I still have some books to review!"

"Father. Doctor Hua has said, you have to cultivate well, at this time, let's lie down! Cao Zhangdao.

"Now is not the time to cultivate!"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and kindly touched his little head, then sat up and continued to deal with government affairs. He spread out a few points of the book, looked at it, and his eyes were slightly cold: "These wealthy families, competing with me at this time, really don't know whether to live or die, Ziwen, you have grown up, and it's time to share the burden for me!" ”

He can endure it at any time, but not at this time.

The battle of the Kanto region cannot afford to be lost.

He will not allow any unfavorable factors to appear, and those who come out will be killed.

"Father, please command!"

"You personally led the troops of these families to raid their homes, and I will make an example of them!" Cao Cao handed the book in his hand to Cao Zhang, and his ruthlessness was vividly displayed at this moment.

"No!"

Cao Zhang's eyes flashed with excitement, and he came out.

"It's still too irritable, if you have Zihuan's stability, I'm afraid even Zixiu is not as good as you!" Cao Cao looked at the back of the third son lovingly and shook his head.

He continued to flip through the recital, but he didn't see the recital he wanted to see: "Ma Chao has already taken Yanmen, the battle of Youzhou, there is no news at all, what's going on?" Cao Leng, pass on my order, let the current person in charge of the ghost pawn come to see me. ”

Youzhou should be a battle that is nine out of ten, why did he suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.

……

"Master, you take a rest, I'll make medicine for you!" In a medicine house in Luoyang Chengtai Hospital, Hua Tuo was boiling medicine, and an apprentice said diligently.

"No!"

Hua Tuo shook his head and said: "This is Your Majesty's medicine, you have to suffer it yourself as a teacher, it can't be too heavy or too light, otherwise it will cause aggravation of the disease, you can't grasp these conditions well, and now you are all watching from the side." ”

"No!"

Several apprentices nodded, and one of the young apprentices walked in the front, closest to the place where the medicine was boiled, looking at the pot of herbs, his eyes suddenly crossed a trace of coldness.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Youzhou.

Although it is the season of early summer in May, the atmosphere in the entire Youzhou is frozen like ice.

Between Jicheng and Zhuojun, the forces of the two armies of Wu and Wei were mobilized again and again.

A bloody battle between a breakout and a siege is about to break out.

Zhuo County.

Pang Tong's body stood in front of the sand table, his eyes looked down at the detailed terrain of the sand table, every gallop road, every city, he looked very carefully, for fear that he would miss some complex and overlooked terrain.

"The soldiers and horses of Liangxiang City can't stop them, at most they can delay their time!"

He thought for a while, pointed to a line, and muttered to himself: "After Liangxiang, what they are about to face is Zhuo County, but Zhuo County has thick walls and is not easy to fight, as long as Zhang Liao is not stupid, he will not attack." Then he only has these two paths! ”

One is to the east, go to Fangcheng County, and go south to Jingzhou.

Another way is to go west, go to Gu'an County, and go south to Jizhou.

But no matter which way, for Zhang Liao. is all due to lack of time, and he believes that the grain and grass in Zhang Liao's hands now can only support less than half a month at most.

"Looks like both sides have to be defended!"

Pang Tong gritted his teeth and looked at Kebineng, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Chief of Staff, we have recovered all the food from the surrounding towns, even the common people only have a few days' worth of food in their hands!" Luo Ming walked in and said in a report.

Pang Tong wanted to clear the wilderness and keep the Wei army from being in their encirclement. Get a grain.

"Good!"

When Pang Tong heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and then said instructively: "Luo Ming, the Jinyi Guard must keep an eye on the whereabouts of the main force of the Wei army, and there must be no trace of mistakes, no matter what route they take, I must be clear!" “

Although the Jianbi Qingye will be the Eastern Wu Imperial Court in the hearts of the people, the people's hearts will be greatly damaged, and Zhuo County will be recovered in the future. There is also a long hand tail to follow up, but now in order to keep Zhang Liao. That's all he can do.

As long as there is no food, then the Wei army will race against time to break through, and the defense can be relaxed a lot.

"No!"

Luo Ming nodded in agreement.

At this time, a herald came in from outside the main hall: "Report to the Chief of Staff, Commander Cao has just sent news that the Wei army has approached Liangxiang." At most, within half a day, a strong attack on Liangxiang will be carried out! ”

"Zhang Liao went south so quickly?!"

When Pang Tong heard this, his expression was shocked, Zhang Liao's reaction and marching speed were too fast, if he hadn't arranged it in time. I'm afraid that Zhang Liao has already been sent south to Zhuo County.

He hurriedly said loudly: "Immediately pass on my military order and the Eighteenth Army, tell Cao Xing, let him be in the position of Liangxiang, block the Wei army for three days, and once the three days are over, withdraw the troops immediately, and do not fall in love with the war!" ”

Now they don't have many troops, and if they fight head-on with the main force of the Wei army, it will be a bit of a loss.

His current strategy is to block the Wei army in Youzhou, and then clear the wilderness and starve them to death.

When they are weak, it will be easy to clean them up.

"No!"

The herald quickly left the main hall to deliver the order.

"Pang Shiyuan, if the Wei army's hundreds of thousands of main soldiers and horses are all pressed up, my sons may not be able to hold Zhuoxian!" Kebineng, who had been closing his eyes next to him, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a point-in-point reminder.

"Great Khan, what do you mean?" Pang Tong's face was slightly cold.

"I, Xianbei Erlang, am just assisting you in defending the city, we won't fight with Cao Wei!" Kobi can say it very bluntly.

"Great Khan, as long as your Xianbei army is willing to defend Zhuo County, on behalf of Eastern Wu, I am willing to send you Xianbei tribe 10,000 stone of grain every year for five consecutive years, and I will never break my word!"

Pang Tong looked at Kebineng, pondered for a while, and then said faintly.

This old fellow, who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, is really greedy.

But now he can only rely on Xianbei's soldiers and horses to hold the defense line of Zhuojun, so he has to make appropriate compromises for the Xianbei army.

"Is that true?"

Sure enough, Kebineng's expression suddenly became invigorated, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes sparkled.

"I can represent Soochow, and I can use words as a basis!" Pang Tong said solemnly.

"Hahaha!"

When Ke Bineng heard this, he laughed and said: "The credibility of Chief of Staff Pang is still trustworthy, I will arrange for our Xianbei warriors to defend the city gate now, you can rest assured, we will never let a Wei army soldier pass!" ”

With that, he stood up and strode out of the main hall.

"Chief of Staff, this old guy is a little too ruthless, and he is not satisfied with Shanggu County, and he actually opens his mouth!" Luo Ming looked at his back, his gaze slightly shy.

"At this time, he naturally wants to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

The corners of Pang Tong's mouth raised a sneer: "Now that he has pinched our throat, we can only stabilize him first, in case he strikes back, all our arrangements will be wasted, you can rest assured, we are not allowed to blackmail, everything has a front and a back, and after dealing with the Wei army, he is slowly cleaning him up, since he is not greedy enough, don't blame a certain family for unloading the mill and killing the donkey!" ”

……

The northern suburbs of Liangxiang City.

Xu Huang's vanguard army has appeared on Dafang Mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses look down on this good township city, a pair of eyes like wolves and tigers, this is the only way for them to go south, and they need to break through at all costs. (To be continued.) )
