It was dark, the night was shrouded in light, and the night was blank.

The battle was stopped, and the tide of soldiers and horses retreated, leaving only a mess.

The Fucheng offensive and defensive battle, this battle in which the two sides attacked and defended fiercely at the beginning, was actually only fought for a day, as the so-called came and went quickly, and the casualties on both sides were not large.

It looks like it's just a friendly fight.

But the danger of this battle is well understood by both sides.

The reason why the Wei army retreated was naturally because Cui Zhouping sent the soldiers and horses on both wings back to defend and shrunk the entire Fucheng defense line into the city, so that the defensive strength was naturally enhanced.

But the swamp tactics that were made did not work.

After the Wei army saw the reinforcement of the soldiers and horses on the city wall, he did not hesitate to retreat, without the slightest drag and water, and the whole action was clean and neat.

The city wall of Fucheng, under the night, a torch shines, about an hour after the Wei army retreated, it was determined that the Wei army withdrew from the attack range of the city wall, Cao Pijun opened the city gate, and one by one the soldiers walked out of the city gate and began to clean the battlefield around the city wall.

It's summer in June, and the weather is hot, and if you don't clean up the battlefield in time, the plague can easily appear under the accumulation of corpses.

No one dares to ignore this.

Cui Zhouping, under the light of his guards holding a torch, strode down the city wall and walked to a messy battlefield, looking at the corpses one by one, and his fists couldn't help clenching: "Hit this point, a certain family is really unwilling to let them go like this!" ”

"Hehe, this is the battlefield, unwillingness is just a saying in the books, but on the battlefield, you have to learn to be unwilling at the first point!"

Li Nie is still a big hat. Holding the whole person under the hat, as if an ordinary little guy, walking behind Cui Zhouping, hearing Cui Zhouping's complaints, he said lightly: "Zhouping, you are marching and fighting." It's not as good as Shi Tao, Shi Tao is much stronger than you now! ”

"Hmph, I won't lose to him!"

When Cui Zhouping heard this, his expression trembled slightly, and his eyes burst out with a strong light.

The three heroes of Lumenshan Academy at that time were the most talented and capable young people after Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and finally devoted themselves to the temperament of Soochow, and they were classmates for several years, and their friendship was solid. But there will also be a competition with each other.

Shi Tao is now the chief of staff of the Flying Tiger Legion, the second-in-command of the 100,000-strong army, the younger generation, and he is considered a leader, and he is indeed powerful, but he naturally thinks that he will not be worse than Shi Tao.

"You take your time, for you, the battlefield is actually just the beginning!" Li Ne smiled. Pointing to a messy battlefield, he said, "Your work in Jinyiwei is excellent. But commanding the battle is a bit insufficient, in this battle, in fact, you have a lot of shortcomings, but this is also the first time you command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight, you are not bad! ”

"Governor Dadu, this retreat of the Wei army. Are they going to avoid our giant deer and take the route of Qinghe County to Yanzhou? Cui Zhouping took a deep breath, who is more powerful, he will have his own highland in the future, he did not continue to say at this point. He leaned in gently and asked in a low voice.

"That's for sure!"

Li Ne glanced at him, as if he had read through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "What? Are you unwilling to fight, and you still want to send troops to intercept them? ”

"Hmm!"

When Cui Zhouping heard this, he nodded without hesitation, and said: "Governor, I have a certain number of troops now, in fact, as long as I go south before them and want to intercept them, there is still a chance!" ”

"Zhou Ping, you just have too big a heart!"

Li Ne shook his head: "The soldiers and horses under your command, if you are defending the city, you can still be regarded as the strength of a battle, but now that you are fighting outside the city, you can only be defeated in the face of their impact!" ”

"Are they that strong?"

Cuizhou's flat color is a little ugly.

"Hehe, you only saw their performance in attacking the city, but you seem to have forgotten one thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"In fact, most of them are cavalry, they are elite cavalry who can break out of the siege of Youzhou, when they attack the city, they give up the advantage of cavalry, in fact, they do not show their true combat effectiveness, but if they break through the battle, their combat effectiveness will explode more than ten percent, and they will stop them with these young and strong foot soldiers!"

Li Ne hit him hard: "I'll give you two words, look for death!" ”

Cui Zhouping is still young, and there is still something to be created in the future, but his personality is obviously not calm enough, so Li Nie doesn't mind hitting him hard.

"Is it just watching them leave Jizhou?"

In fact, in the final analysis, Cui Zhouping was still unwilling, he was unwilling to command tens of thousands of troops for the first time, but in the end he could only get one such result.

"Don't be too obsessed, you will have a chance in the future!"

Li Nie understood Cui Zhouping's mentality, and patted him on the shoulder, which was regarded as a slap to give a comfort.

"General Cui, a secret letter sent urgently from Yecheng for eight hundred miles."

At this time, a messenger came in a hurry, rushed into the battlefield, turned over and dismounted in front of Cui Zhouping, and respectfully handed over a secret letter.

"Yecheng Secret Letter?"

Cui Zhouping heard this, looked stunned for a moment, quickly came back to his senses, and then cautiously took this secret letter, he did not choose to open it on the spot, just glanced at Li Nie, took a deep breath, and continued to give orders: "Pass my military order, be careful to guard against the Wei army to turn back and sneak attack, the rest of the soldiers continue to clean the battlefield, before dawn, bury the body, and clean the battlefield." ”

"No!"

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly received the order.

Cui Zhouping and Li Nie rode on horseback, and under the darkness of the night, they returned to the county government mansion in the city, entered a study in the back hall, lit the lamp, and sat down, and he opened this secret letter.

"Something big has happened in Luoyang, Metropolitan Governor, look!"

After Cui Zhouping read the secret letter, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly handed the secret letter to Li Nie.

"Cao Wei is critically ill, Cao Zhang is in charge of the country? Hehe, is it really God who is also helping us Dawu? He Cao Cao actually capsized in the gutter? ”

When Li Ne saw it, he couldn't hold back his thousand-year-old iceberg face, his eyes widened, and he was a little incredulous: "It's not like a natural disaster, the time is too coincidental, but it's a bit like man-made." But I didn't give such an order, who did it? ”

It's not that he doesn't want to give orders, if he can kill Cao Cao at close range, even if he exerts all the strength of Jinyiwei, he will do it at any cost.

After all, the effect of the beheading will lay the foundation for the entire Central Plains situation.

But he knew and knew too well the defensive forces around Cao Cao, even if Jinyiwei was willing to pay countless lives. If you want to assassinate him at close range, how easy is it to kill Emperor Cao Wei?

But at this critical moment, he fell down so suddenly?

Ligne was in disbelief.

In fact, it is normal for Li Nie to not know about this matter, after all, this is what Xiahou Ling and Fang Shi did together to hide from Jinyiwei, so even Jinyiwei does not have much news.

Now that something has happened, the first news was originally sent back to Jinyiwei.

But Li Nie was in Jizhou, and the news of Jinyiwei was a little late.

"It's not clear what is going on, but the result is already obvious, Cao Cao is unable to come forward to preside over the overall situation of Cao Wei. Cao Wei is now regarded as a leaderless game, which is definitely good news for us Dawu! ”

Cui Zhouping said with some excitement.

"I'm afraid it's a trap!" Li Nie is cautious by nature and has a strong spirit of skepticism about everything, so he was suspicious at first when he received the news.

"Won't it?"

When Cui Zhouping heard this, he hurriedly said: "As soon as Cao Cao falls, the situation of the entire Cao Wei is a group of dragons without a leader, which is not a little blow to their military hearts and people's hearts." If it's just a game, what's the benefit to them Cao Wei. The most important thing is that you don't forget, the decisive battle in the Kwantung region is imminent, and for the battle for the Kwantung region, Yuzhou is about to start the final battle, and Cao Cao will set up a game. Nor should it be at this time, so I have good reason to believe that this news is true! ”

"There are a lot of things I can't figure out for the time being, but in this case, your analysis is correct. We'd rather believe what we have than what we don't! ”

Li Nie's eyes flowed with this essence: "If this news is true, Jizhou can be decided, and the battle of Kanto is also decided!" ”

"Jizhou can be determined?"

When Cui Zhouping heard this, his expression narrowed slightly, he was not interested in Li Nie's words in the second half, but he listened very seriously in the first half: "What does the metropolitan governor mean, let me instigate Cao Pi to return to Luoyang to fight for power?" ”

"Since Cao Pi has sent you a letter, he is not just asking you, he is moved and wants to return to Luoyang to fight for the right to supervise the country, in this case, why don't you give him a ride!"

The corners of Li Nie's mouth raised a sneer, and he said lightly: "The Xuanwu Gate change back then, our Great Wu was almost split, and their Great Wei civil strife, for us, no matter who succeeds or who fails, it is the best result!" ”

"If Cao Pi returns to Luoyang, what about Jizhou?"

"Jizhou?"

Li Nie shrugged: "Do you need to talk about this?" Naturally, you personally came to Jizhou, as long as you can suppress Jizhou, then Jizhou is not equivalent to falling into our hands? ”

"Will Cao Pi believe me?" Cui Zhouping asked again.

"I'm sure I won't absolutely believe you, it's normal to leave you a hand!"

Li Ne shook his head and said: "However, only you can believe in him, he is ambitious, but far inferior to Cao Cao back then, he has no team of his own at all, and he has not recruited many talents, in the final analysis, he is just ambitious and talented, and there is no talent available in his hands, and he can use it is Wu Zhen and you, even if Wu Zhen he does not dare to trust him too much, so you will be the biggest candidate he entrusts Jizhou, of course, it cannot be ruled out that he Cao Pi has great courage, for the power of Cao Wei, he is willing to give up the entire Jizhou, With the military courtiers under his command, he led all the soldiers and horses under his command, and rushed into Luoyang, and if he didn't succeed, he would become benevolent! ”

"He doesn't have the courage!"

Cui Zhouping said with certainty.

"So, he can only take care of both ends, and he will inevitably choose a subordinate who will act as Jizhou, you have a great possibility of this person, but it depends on whether you can fool him!" Li Niedao.

"Flickering?"

"Your Majesty just often fools us, what we do, the tongue that is not rotten, saying that the sky is the sky, the earth is the earth, and an old deer can also be said to be a horse, understand!" Li Nie's analysis.

This is Sun Quan's spoken language, and the people around Sun Quan understand the meaning and are also deeply affected by it.

"Got it!"

Cui Zhouping couldn't help but sneer, but when he thought of the majesty of His Majesty Sun Quan, he hurriedly straightened up, nodded quickly, and then said firmly: "Governor, please rest assured." I'll leave for Yecheng immediately, and I'll definitely be able to fool him so much that I can't even recognize my father! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The same night, shrouded in the direction of the northeast corner of Fucheng, has completely jumped out of the encirclement of Fucheng hundreds of miles away, on a riverside plain, here the Wei army company camp. The fire disc is shining, and it is bright.

The main battalion of the Chinese army.

Originally, they had successfully defeated Cao Pi's army's intentions, and broke through with the least cost, and they won the battle.

Should be happy.

But with the sudden arrival of a secret letter from the ghost guards, the atmosphere in the entire tent seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar, as if it was filled with endless chill, and the murderous aura in the chill was surging to the sky.

"How did it come to this?"

Jia Xupan sat in the first place, his eyes were full of cold killing intent, and the murderous aura in his heart seemed to be irrepressible and spread throughout the big tent.

"Your Majesty is critically ill?"

Cao Hong. Yu Ban, Xu Huang, and the three generals also looked iron-blue, their fists clenched, and the green tendons on their foreheads burst out.

"Commander Jia, come to me, is this true or false?" Cao Hong couldn't stand the oppression of this atmosphere. He raised his head and looked at Jia Xu coldly. Asked.

"Really!"

Jia Xu spit out a word and said: "Even if the people under my command have the courage, they don't dare to deceive such things, so no matter how things happen, this thing must be true!" ”

"Impossible!"

Yu Ban didn't want to believe it, so he took the case. shouted and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, there are many guards around him, and there is Dian Wei to protect him, who can hurt him?" ”

"It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows!"

Jia Xu took a deep breath. calmed down the anger in his heart, calmed down, and said: "Jinyiwei's hand, it is very possible, after all, we have not found out the secret son buried by Jinyiwei's side, this is the dereliction of duty of my ghost, I will give Dawei and Your Majesty an explanation, but now, we must hurry back to Luoyang!" ”

"Is Commander Jia afraid that there will be turmoil in Luoyang?" Yu Ban hurriedly asked.

"Chaos must be chaotic!"

Jia Xu sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Your Majesty is the pillar of our Great Wei, he suddenly can't be in charge of the dynasty, people must be panicked, the most important thing is that in order to fight the decisive battle of Eastern Wu, the troops in Luoyang are already very empty, and some of the troops are controlled in the Guanzhong family, if the Guanzhong family suddenly rises up at this time and rebels, the entire Great Wei will be in chaos!" ”

"What Commander Jia said is very true!" When the generals heard this, they trembled and nodded hurriedly.

Xu Huang said: "Commander Jia, it's better to be like this, I will lead the most elite five thousand cavalry of Zuo Xiaowei, hurry day and night, go south first, and return to Luoyang in the shortest possible time!" ”

"That's a way to do it, too!"

Jia Xu nodded, looked at Xu Huang, and said, "Gongming, no matter how difficult it is for you, within five days, you must appear in the Tiger Prison Pass, only in this way will you be in the Deterrent Pass!" ”

He was worried about Guanzhong.

After all, in the news network of the ghost pawns, the Guanzhong family has already had a different heart, and if they are given another chance, I am afraid it will turn the sky upside down.

"No!"

Xu Huang took the order and walked out of the camp to order the troops.

"Cao Hong, Yu Ban, you two also have to step up, go south as soon as dawn, don't estimate anything in Jizhou, return to Luoyang in the shortest time, try not to stay!"

Jia Xu gritted his teeth and said: "Everything is not as important as Luoyang now, only when you return to Luoyang, Luoyang can be considered stable!" ”

With his ingenuity, he naturally understands that Jizhou may not be able to keep it.

If you are still entangled in Jizhou at this time, you will lose on both sides.

"We get it!"

Yu Ban and Cao Hong nodded, they looked at Jia Xu with some doubts, listening to Jia Xu's words, he had no intention of returning with the army, Cao Hong asked, "What about you, the Great Commander?" ”

"I'm going south too, but to Xudu!"

Jia Xu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Once the news of His Majesty's critical illness spreads, the three of them will become tigers, it will easily make the people's hearts turbulent, the army's morale will collapse, and Yuzhou will be implicated, I want to go and see, once Yuzhou is lost, Kanto will be lost, I can't watch Dawei fall into a desperate situation!" ”

Compared with Jizhou, he is more worried about Yuzhou.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou are the most important in the Kanto region.

If Yuzhou is lost, they will really lose the battle of Kwantung, and they can only retreat from Guanzhong in the future. (To be continued.) )

PS: Tomorrow will definitely return to normal updates, April pick one is very sorry for everyone, please forgive me!
