and state.

Yanmen.

Zhang Liao and Ma Chao met in a mansion, and the generals of both sides gathered together, which was considered to celebrate the escape.

"General Ma, a certain family is going to be put back in Luoyang immediately!" Zhang Liao lowered his voice and said.

"In such a hurry?" Ma Chao frowned: "Your subordinate generals are still rectifying now, and they are not suitable for rushing, so you have to rest for at least ten days!" ”

"I will return to Luoyang by myself, and all the soldiers under my command will be led by you!" Zhang Liaodao.

"What?"

When Ma Chao heard this, he was shocked, and looked at Zhang Liao in disbelief: "General, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Zhang Liao dared to hand over this force to him?

He didn't believe it.

"Something happened to Luoyang, I have to go back as soon as possible, and now, you can take on a heavy responsibility, so I entrust them all to you!"

"What's going on in Luoyang?"

"I won't hide it from you, something happened to Your Majesty, and you can't come to the court, and now there is no leader in the middle of the court, and no one is suppressing the overall situation, so I need to rush to Luoyang to stabilize the morale of the Quartet!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"Sick?" Ma Chao's tiger eyes crossed a different color.

"I don't know!" Zhang Liao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You're so relieved of me?" Ma Chao asked again.

"Your actions have given me trust, shouldn't I trust you?" Zhang Liao said: "If you don't send troops to respond, I may die in Youzhou, I should believe you, right?" ”

"Thank you, General, for your trust!"

Ma Chao raised the wine cup and took a sip: "Ma Chao will not live up to the general's trust in me, with Ma Chao in Bingzhou for a day, Wu Junxiu wants to take half a step!" ”

"The situation in Jizhou is unknown. Now we are in the northern part of the Great Wei Dynasty, only the merger is the foundation, I entrust you with the merger of the state, I hope you can fight for the Great Wei! Zhang Liao said.

"Haha!"

Ma Chao laughed, and Lang Lang catchy: "Da Wei does not live up to me, I live up to Da Wei!" ”

I heard that. I also believe that if you have a different heart in the future, I, Zhang Liao, will do my best to take your head at all costs, from heaven to earth! ”

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"I'm not going to give you this chance!" Ma Chao trembled, Zhang Liao's aura was too strong, this has nothing to do with cultivation, a general is a general. There is still some distance between them.

"Zhang Yan, this captive, I want to take it away, but I have already written to the imperial court to transfer the eight strong generals under your command from Xiliang to you, so that you can better command the soldiers and horses!" Zhang Liaodao.

"Thank you, General, for your understanding!"

Ma Chao was slightly moved in his heart and raised his glass.

He has a very thin foundation in the Great Wei, and there is no one who can command consistently than the eight strong generals under his command, each of whom is a first-class military general with extraordinary ability to lead troops. With them back, they can naturally suppress the main force left by Zhang Liao.

This is Zhang Liao's trust. He felt heavy.

————————————————————————————————

Yuzhou, Runan County.

Shang Cai Cheng.

In a school field in the city, in the camp of the Wei army, the gate is high, the battle flag is flying, and the horse's hooves are neighing. One by one, the soldiers are training in full swing, recuperating their energy, and waiting for the decisive battle to come.

However......

At this moment, in the main tent of the camp, the atmosphere is depressing.

The spacious tent is quiet. Only Guo Jia and Cao Ang, because of a secret letter from Xu Du, their faces were ugly, and they were silent at this time, and they were cold.

"How so?"

Cao Ang pinched the secret letter in his hand stiffly, the green tendons on the back of his hand were uneven, his eyes widened, and wisps of blood surged at the bottom of his eyes: "No, it must not be, it is impossible for my father to fall at this time, this is Xun Yu's lie!" ”

His voice was faint and a little paranoid, and he seemed to be comforting Guo Jia, but in fact, he couldn't believe it and wanted to appease his confidence.

His father, Cao Cao, was the god in his heart.

All along, in his heart, his father is omnipotent, how could he suddenly fall at this critical time?

He was reluctant to believe this fact.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Xun Yu is the Prime Minister of Great Wei, he knows the severity, and he will definitely not joke about things!"

Guo Jia's expression was calm, but the tense corners of his eyes and the green tendons on his forehead all revealed his somewhat uneasy heart at this moment: "Judging from Xun Yu's secret letter, it is not that Your Majesty is critically ill, but Your Majesty must have had something happen at this time, and he will not be able to come forward to preside over the overall situation in a short period of time!" ”

Cao Cao, the founding monarch who single-handedly defeated Cao Wei Jiangshan.

He is the spirit of Cao Wei.

He fell down suddenly, and Guo Jia was also a little confused.

Guo Jia did everything he could not count for this battle, and at this time His Majesty suddenly fell, this news had a great impact on the overall situation of the imperial court and on the decisive battle that he was planning to break out now.

"Damn it!"

After a long time, Cao Ang accepted this fact, but he became a little angry, he slapped the book case, and shouted: "What are the people of the Imperial Forest Army and the ghost pawns doing, Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, but they are plotted in our Great Wei Capital, they are all a group of useless things!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now we are not talking about this matter!"

Guo Jia took a deep breath and looked at Cao Ang: "Since the matter has happened, we have to face it, for this battle in Yuzhou, now we must prepare for the worst!" ”

"What do you mean, Lord Lieutenant?" Cao Ang turned his head abruptly and stared at Guo Jia.

"If this is the hands and feet of Dongwu, it must be that Dongwu has the intention to set up a game, then things will not be so simple, I believe that they will have a backhand, and they will definitely spread this news to our army camp, once this news cannot be suppressed, it will make the army's heart turbulent, the army's heart is unstable, how to fight a decisive battle?"

Guo Jia rubbed the bridge of his nose, and his eyes burst with a cold glow: "They want us to collapse by ourselves, a thousand miles away!" ”

"Lord Taiwei, I don't want to know this, now I'm more worried about Luoyang!"

Cao Ang exhaled a breath of turbid air suppressed in his chest and calmed down. looked at Guo Jia with his eyes and said pointedly.

"Luoyang?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he squinted slightly, looked at Cao Ang's face, and shook his head, he naturally understood Cao Ang's mood. But he couldn't let Cao Ang mess around, he said categorically: "His Royal Highness the Prince, at this time, you must not leave Yuzhou!" ”

"What do you mean, I can't go back?"

When Cao Ang heard this, there was a wave of anger in his heart, his fists were clenched, his expression became cold, and he looked at Guo Jia deadly. said in a cold voice: "Do you know that now that the dragons of Luoyang are leaderless and the overall situation is unstable, how can I keep an eye on Yuzhou, I can trust Ziwen Jianguo, but what about Zihuan?" As soon as his father has fallen now, the news will inevitably reach Jizhou, who can suppress him. If he leads his troops south, what should he do? What about Da Wei? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are upset and restless, no one can turn over the sky of Great Wei, you have to believe in Prime Minister Xun's ability, and he is in charge of Luoyang. There is also the support of Xiliang, no one can move, and there is another point, Your Majesty is still here, but he is only a little ill but he is working hard. Isn't it ridiculous to laugh at the world! ”

Guo Jia's words were very heavy, as if they were like an iron rod, and gave Cao Ang a fierce blow to the head: "This Taiwei also knows what you are worried about, but you Cao Ang is the crown prince, the prince of the dynasty, as long as Your Majesty does not speak, no one can take away your position, if at this juncture, you just want to take the position of the prince here, and you can't even hold back your breath, and you don't deserve to let Your Majesty value it, and you don't deserve to let Your Majesty entrust the future of the Great Wei Jiangshan!" ”

"What the captain said is very true, I am too impatient, and I can't hold my breath!"

The crown prince Cao Ang does not have many advantages, but there is one thing, he can listen to the advice, and Guo Jia's slap on the head makes him calm down a lot.

After calming down, he immediately understood what Guo Jia meant.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, in terms of Luoyang, you don't have to worry too much, I believe that there will be no chaos, and now, there is only one thing we have to do, to drive the Wu army out of Yuzhou, in order to keep the Great Wei River!"

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, if Cao Ang insisted on leaving, he couldn't stop him, after all, Cao Ang was the crown prince, and now Cao Ang could listen to his advice, which was a good result.

"What does Lord Taiwei mean is that under the nest, there are eggs?"

Cao Ang sighed, stood up, bowed to Guo Jia, and said, "A certain family understands, it is a certain person who has a shallow view and can't see the overall situation, thank you Lord Taiwei for reminding me!" ”

"It's good that you understand that!"

Guo Jia showed a satisfied gaze, he also stood up, walked to the side of the giant sand table, and said: "Now this news must not be suppressed for too long, if we want to break the situation, we must strike first!" ”

"Captain mean, let's do it right away?"

Cao Ang's eyes flashed with a gleam, they have retreated again and again, there is no way to retreat, this battle in Yuzhou is related to the entire situation in the Kanto region, and they must win.

"Yes!"

Guo Jia nodded, he picked up a baton and pointed to several terrains on the sand table: "The heavy rain for five or six consecutive days this month is still prepared for us, we can't retreat any longer, it's time to attack, His Royal Highness the Prince, this battle still needs you to personally lead the troops, this is our last battlefield, Shang Cai!" ”

"What about Pingyu and Ruyin?"

"Give up!"

Guo Jia said without hesitation: "You immediately let people pass on the military order, let Xiahoudun and Zhang He, lead the troops, take the initiative to attack, and after fighting two battles, retreat, lure the Wu army, and enter the Xiabai River, which is eighty miles southeast of Shangcai." ”

"Will Wu Jun be suspicious?" Cao Ang said.

"They will!"

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised a sneer: "But suspicion is suspicion, they will not give up the attack, occupying Yuzhou is their strategic purpose, no matter what happens, they will definitely attack, and where they can take it, they will take it at all costs, so they will definitely pursue!" ”

"What about the south side?" Cao Ang looked at the south side of the sand table.

Since Lü Bu came out of Ruyin, he has been like a bamboo, and the land of Runan has been occupied by them for one-third, and now they are approaching Shangcai, once they enter Shangcai, they can take the base camp of the Wei army.

This aspect is dangerous.

"Li Dian is good at guarding, although he is not as good as Lu Bu, but I believe that they can hold it for about a month, which is enough for us to solve the main force of the Wu army, if we take the main force in the east, Lu Bu in the south will become the dog who closes the door and fights the dog!"

Guo Jia said with a murderous face.

"Lord Lieutenant, it's not good. Big things are wrong! ”

When the two of them were discussing the start of the war now, the pot was already fried outside, and six or seven generals hurriedly came in.

"What's the matter, so flustered?"

Guo Jia's heart suddenly burst and hurriedly asked.

"Lord Taiwei, among the soldiers outside. Suddenly, there was a rumor that His Majesty had died, and now the soldiers were panicked! "A Wei general stood up and gave his hand to report.

"Ridiculous, Your Majesty is in the capital, why did it become a death?" Cao Ang's eyes widened: "Who is making words to confuse the public, this palace beheaded him!" ”

"Rumors?"

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised a sneer: "They are moving so fast, His Royal Highness the Prince, since this is the case." It's time for you to go out and appease the army! ”

"Lord Taiwei, how should I appease the hearts of the army!" Cao Ang asked.

"You go and tell them that this is just the Wu army's plan to attack the heart, Your Majesty is fine, and Your Majesty will come to Runan in half a month to supervise the battle and boost morale!" Guo Jia said word by word.

"Is that okay?"

When Cao Ang heard this, his heart moved. Hurriedly leaned up and whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "Your Majesty must not be able to rush to Runan." You are deceiving soldiers, once it is exposed after half a month, I am afraid that it will not be the turmoil of the army's heart, but the mutiny! ”

"As long as we can drag on for half a month!"

Guo Jia said calmly: "In this battle, victory is ours." Just take advantage of this news to boost morale and win this battle in one go! ”

"I understand, I'm going to appease the soldiers!"

Cao Ang looked at the collapse of Guo Jia's face. I immediately understood that the fierce appearance of this battle was only allowed to win, not defeat.

He took the soldiers out of the big tent to appease the army.

In the empty tent, Guo Jia's straight body stood tall next to the sand table, a pair of eyes flashed with this cold and sharp light, staring at the terrain of the sand table: "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, God bless me Dawei, this battle will be won!" ”

Jizhou.

Yecheng.

Early in the morning, Cao Pi walked into the study to deal with government affairs, and just got the news of the war in the north today, Cui Zhouping used the giant deer as the defense line, and actually blocked Xu Huang and others, this news made him a little overjoyed.

"Cui Zhouping is disappointed by no one's own prince!"

He looked at the battle report, smiled, then stood up, looked out of the window, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "At this time, the envoy of a certain family should also arrive in Luoyang, hoping to convince my father!" ”

Only when he gets Jizhou, becomes a prince, and holds the military power, can he have the ability to compete with his brother Cao Ang.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, something is wrong!"

At this time, a scholar walked into the wing room with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Ji Chong, what's going on, so panicked, what kind of system!" When Cao Pi heard this, he looked at the young scholar and said indifferently.

He naturally has his own team around him.

Cui Zhouping is the most trusted and capable strategist he believes in.

And under Cui Zhouping, he trusts this young scholar the most.

The scholar is very young, about early twenties, polite and polite, with a very strong bookish atmosphere, his name is Wu Zhen, a native of Yanzhou, outstanding in learning, in Shilin, reputation and Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others, the same as the young generation of leaders.

He is also a very effective strategist of Cao Pi, and he is also the target of Cui Zhouping's run, he has always been suspicious of Cui Zhouping, but Cui Zhouping is better than him in terms of vision, talent, and strategy.

So Cao Pi believed in Cui Zhouping, so he rarely followed his advice.

If it weren't for Cui Zhouping this time, he wouldn't have come out, it was Cui Zhouping who led his troops north, and he became the think tank that Cao Pi relied on.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, something has happened to Luoyang!" Wu Zhen stood behind Cao Pi, facing Cao Pi, with a solemn face, and said word by word.

"Luoyang?"

When Cao Pi heard this, he just frowned, shrugged his shoulders, and said very indifferently: "What can happen to Luoyang?" ”

"Your Majesty is critically ill, and the third prince, Cao Zhang, has been crowned King Peng and is in charge of the world!" Wu Zhen said: "Isn't this a big deal?" ”

"How is that possible?"

Cao Pi's eyes widened suddenly, his expression was shocked, and he couldn't believe it: "Impossible, my father has always been in good health, how could he suddenly be critically ill?" ”

"This is an official document of the imperial court!" Wu Zhen handed over the official document and said calmly.

"The old third eunuch?"

Cao Pi snatched the official document with one hand and looked at it very carefully, but it was still hard to believe. (To be continued.) )
