The imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, the city of Luoyang.

Shangyang Palace.

In the Qingxin Palace, the civil and military ministers of the Wei Dynasty lined up left and right, all with happy faces, and Cao Cao, who was sitting in front of the imperial case, looked at the battle report in Hanzhong, and couldn't help grinning.

"Hahaha~~~~~"

During this time, the depression in his Cao Mengde's heart turned into a loud laughter, which resounded through the hall: "Okay, fight well, Shangyong This battle, sniping the Wu army before and after, not only drove the Wu army out of Hanzhong completely, but also killed the enemy by 5,000, Zixiao did a good job!" ”

The news of Zhang Lu's surrender to the Wei Dynasty, Jinyiwei fell one step behind the ghost pawn, and failed to notify Shangyong Chen Wu in advance to withdraw his troops, Cao Ren and more than 5,000 Han soldiers and horses stationed in Shangyong City were flanked back and forth, and defeated Chen Wu's army and won the record of beheading 5,000, which somewhat relieved the irritability in Cao Cao's heart now.

Since Lu Bu rushed thousands of miles to attack Xudu, and then Sun Quan was crowned in Jinling City, the entire Great Wei seemed to be pressed on top of the head by the Great Wu Dynasty, and it was difficult to even take a breath.

At this time, with such a record, the Great Wei Dynasty was able to get back a lot of face and popular support.

The most important thing is that the capture of Hanzhong can be regarded as suppressing the Wu Dynasty's Fengchan and forming a general trend in the world, which has brutally thwarted the Wu Dynasty's invincible and unfavorable momentum.

"Wenhe, our Great Wei can win Hanzhong, and the first credit should be owned by your ghost!" Cao Cao raised his head, his eyes hunting, looking at Jia Xu, the commander of the ghost pawns who was standing quietly in the corner, and said loudly.

If it weren't for the confrontation between the ghost pawns and the Jinyi Guard, which led to Zhang Lu's confrontation with the Wu Dynasty, and the surrender of the army to the Wei Dynasty, there would be no brilliant results in the battle of Hanzhong at all.

"Your Majesty, we're just meeting at the right time!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "No one would have thought that Zhang Lutang, with the hegemony of one side, would surrender to our Great Wei for the sake of a dead statement and an injured son." Even if it is a certain family, it is unexpected! ”

This was unexpected, the ghost pawn and the Jinyi guard clashed, and the ghost pawn was defeated, after all, the statement had been killed.

However, Seon is not a blessing, and he is wrong. Hanzhong, who couldn't ask for it, was fished into the battle banner of the Great Wei in this way.

"Haha, this is luck, our Great Wei's fortune is on the head, and it should be pressed against Sun Wu!"

Cao Cao was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, let's not be too happy, in this way, we can be regarded as completely angering the Wu Dynasty!"

Although Xi Zhicai couldn't bear to disturb Cao Cao's interest, he still splashed cold water at a touch: "Wu Jun will not give up Hanzhong easily. Hanzhong is bound to fight, Chen Wu is under the command of Lu Bu, once Lu Bu is angry and wields his army, we may not be able to prevent it in the temporary defense line of Shangyong, we must not be able to guard against it! ”

"Humph!"

Cao Cao squinted at Xi Zhicai, a little unhappy, and was happy. You're going to be disappointed, he snorted. calmed down his excitement for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Wei and Wu have long been incompatible, under this side of the world, either his Sun Zhong is conspiring to die, or my Cao Wei is perishing, so what's the matter of angering him?"

He's going to fight. I will accompany him in battle, and our sons of Great Wei will not be afraid of his Sun Wu soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty, don't forget that now ninety percent of the soldiers and horses of Great Wei are being reorganized and trained. Once the war starts, all our previous efforts are in vain! ”

Guo Jia reminded: "Fighting now, it's not cost-effective for our Great Wei Dynasty!" ”

In terms of soldiers and horses, because of the inaction of the county soldiers in the first war of Xu Du, Cao Cao was furious, and directly followed the example of Eastern Wu, laid off all the county soldiers, and set up a large battalion with Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou as the core, and trained elites.

"It's just a Lu Bu, do you still need me to send the elite of Great Wei into Hanzhong!" Cao Cao sneered: "With the combined forces of Zhang Lu and Nanyang Zhang Xiu Cao Ren, can't they suppress him Lu Fengxian?" ”

Although Lu Bu's Flying Tiger battalion has more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses, they are heavily armed in Peicheng and Yiling, and they also have to guard against Nanyang, how many soldiers and horses can he draw to the north.

Cao Cao didn't worry too much about Lu Bu's annoyance.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu Weichen is not worried, Weichen is worried that Dongwu will tear his face and lift heavy troops to kill into Hanzhong, now we have not yet gained a firm foothold in Hanzhong, if the Wu army gathers the elite of the Jiangdong battalion and enters Hanzhong, Lu Bu suppresses Zhang Xiu and Cao Ren, and Zhang Lu's strength will inevitably be unstoppable.

Great Wei is in Hanzhong, if it is a gain or a loss, it will not be called a big laughing stock in the world! ”

Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei is right, Sun Wu has suffered such a big loss, how can he give up with Emperor Wu's temper Sun Quan!" Tian Feng stood up and added.

"What do you think of the change?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression became slightly solemn.

Now the court of the Great Wei Dynasty is in the stage of self-proclaimed martial arts and nirvana from new cultivation, and there are not many generals and soldiers and horses that he can use, which really makes him a little embarrassed.

Once the Wu army dispatches the main force of the Jiangdong battalion into Hanzhong, he will inevitably increase his troops, but where will he increase his troops into Hanzhong?

"Your Majesty, since Hanzhong is in our hands, we will keep it at all costs!" Xun Yu raised his head, looked at Cao Cao, and said firmly.

Zhang Lu has surrendered, if the Great Wei can't even keep Hanzhong, then don't fight with Eastern Wu, just kill yourself!

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, it was not a benefit, so he said that he couldn't afford to lose this face.

Xun You thought about it, and with a hint of luck, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought, now that Sun Wu is preparing to fight in Xishu, he will not make a big move in Hanzhong!" ”

The strength of the Great Wei was limited, but the strength of the Wu Dynasty was not very large, and for the sake of a Hanzhong, Sun Quan would not give up the campaign against Shu.

"Your Majesty, we can't put our hopes on this kind of luck, it is imperative to increase the number of troops!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said persistently.

"But now that our soldiers and horses are being reorganized and trained, where will we transfer our troops south?" Cao Cao was a little embarrassed.

"Report!"

At this time, outside the Qingxin Palace, a loud voice sounded.

"Come in!" Cao Cao's face moved slightly, and he taught in a low voice.

"Report to Your Majesty, the news of the eight hundred miles of the ghost Jinling Hall is urgent!" A ghost guard walked in briskly. Kneeling down, he sent the news with both hands: "Please see it for yourself!" ”

"Sun Zhongmou really can't afford to lose at all!"

Cao Cao opened the letter, looked at it, his face changed slightly, and said in a cold voice: "We don't have to guess, Sun Wu has already sent troops." In the name of entering Sichuan through Hanzhong, Zhao Zilong personally took command and led the vanguard army into Sichuan, known as 100,000 elites, with the intention of going to Hanzhong from above! ”

"Zhao Yun, the general of the Great Wu Dynasty Hussars, is the second-ranked fierce general today!"

Everyone gasped.

"Sun Zhongmou wants to fight, and I can't be indifferent!"

Cao Cao's expression was resolute. The corners of his mouth outlined a curvature, his voice was scorching like fire, and he was full of fighting spirit: "I want to increase my troops in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu surrendered to the Great Wei, if I can't even keep him, what face do I have to rule the world?" ”

Now, even if you grit your teeth, you have to send troops to fight.

"Your Majesty, now there is only one side of the soldiers and horses that Great Wei can move!" Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "Baling Camp." This is after the Battle of Chang'an, we collected the troops in Guanzhong. Trained elites! ”

"Can it be used?" Cao Cao asked.

"Wei Duan, this person still has some ability to train soldiers!" Xi Zhicai said: "Weichen has already inspected last month, and he is not as elite as the Great Wei bloody battle, but the combat effectiveness is also superior, and it can be called!" ”

"Good, now the problem comes. Who can be in command against Zhao Zilong? ”

Cao Cao asked a difficult question: "Zhao Zilong is both civil and military, courageous, enterprising, and very invincible!" ”

"The general is against this person!" Someone whispered.

Everyone shook their heads: "Now that the soldiers and horses are being reorganized, the general must keep an eye on the 200,000 elites of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Don't move! ”

"How is General Yu Ban?" Guo Jiadao.

"He can't leave the river, Wu Jun in Youzhou is eyeing him, don't look at Huang Zhong now in Bingzhou, he hasn't relaxed Youzhou, this fang sleeps and wants to bite our Dawei!"

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.

"Where's General Lejin?"

"He is clearing the Black Mountain thieves, during this time, the Black Mountain thieves are getting bigger and bigger, and they have extended from the Black Mountain to Changshan, if they can't be eliminated in time, he will become a big disaster one day!" Xi Zhicai smiled slightly bitterly.

He couldn't even expect the development of the Montenegrin Army, and he couldn't believe that without food, how could the Montenegrin Army, which was sealed in the mountains, continue to grow.

"What about General Xiahoudun and General Xiahouyuan?" Someone asked.

"Now the two Xiahou generals are integrating the county soldiers of Jizhou and Yuzhou in Yecheng and Xudu, and they have no time to get out!" Xi Zhicai continued to shake his head.

"Your Majesty, the minister can recommend one person to be handsome!" At this time, Tian Feng stood up and said respectfully.

"Yuan Hao, do you want to recommend and people?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled.

"Zhang He!"

Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "This person is a handsome talent, and the ugly people of Yan Liangwen in the past can only suppress him in terms of force, if it comes to arranging troops, in the whole of Hebei, he is the only one who can be compared with Juyi!" ”

"Zhang Junyi?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was a little surprised, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "This is a hard bone, after Guandu was captured by me in the first battle, he resisted for more than a year, and now he is still unwilling to surrender to Dawei, are you sure that he will surrender to Dawei?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister once tested his mind some time ago, this person has no resistance to surrendering to the Great Wei, if you want to see Your Majesty's means and whether you can trust this person!"

Tian Feng said sincerely: "If Your Majesty is willing to give a heavy responsibility, the minister is willing to vouch for it with the head of the item!" ”

He doesn't want to form a party for personal gain, but as a general, he also needs a helper to gain a firm foothold in the Great Wei court, and Zhang He is a good helper.

"Your Tian Feng's vision, I can trust it, pass on my orders, proclaim Zhang He, and go to court tomorrow!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth: "If he is willing to surrender, I am willing to believe him once, let him lead the troops to Hanzhong, I also want to see how Zhang He's ability is!" ”

"No!"

A small yellow door outside the main hall quickly went to give the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief and showed a comfortable smile, with his understanding of Zhang He, this matter was already inseparable.

After negotiating the matter of increasing the troops, Cao Cao suddenly had a whim, looked at Guo Jia, and asked, "Fengxiao, how is Pang Lingming?" ”

With Pound, his expectations were high.

"My heart is like ashes!"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I heard that Ma Chao sent someone to contact him quietly last month, but let him beat him out with a stick, and swore that from then on, he will break off with Ma's family!" ”

"Haha, Ma Chao should be depressed, so how does he react to the matter of surrendering to our Great Wei?" Cao Cao asked.

"He is still a little resistant, and he just wants to disarm and return to the field, but Weichen is confident that he can convince him!" Guo Jia said confidently: "Please give me another half a year, I will definitely be able to let him return to Dawei!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction and said: "I love the loyalty and courage of this general, if I can return to the Great Wei, I should treat him with a heavy responsibility!" (To be continued......)
