"How is this possible, Zhao Botao is still confronting Sima Yi in Hanzhong, how could he run to Pujin Pass, could it be that Sima Yi is playing tricks?"

At this moment, the lights in the Ya of Anyi County are bright, and all the high-level officials of Cao Jun's expedition are listed, and it is Cao Hong who is chattering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Listening to Cao Hong's noncommittal words, everyone also had different expressions. Cao Ying looked around at everyone and was about to speak, but he heard someone report that Xu Huang, who was attacking Tongguan, had sent someone to send urgent military information.

"Gongming said that the Tongguan guards were changed from the original Jiang Qi to Wang Ping, a partial general under Zhao Botao, overnight!" Cao Ying said lightly, and then handed this military report to everyone to watch. As soon as this was circulated, everyone fell silent. Pujin Pass is still self-sufficient, and now even Tongguan has changed its banner, so something is really wrong.

"Could it be that Guanzhong has already been obtained by Zhao Botao?" Cao Zhen couldn't help muttering to himself when he heard this, and as soon as he said this, everyone in the hall changed their faces greatly. If this is the case, it will be in vain for me to raise troops this time. Even Cao Ying's face, which had always been calm, flashed a hint of discoloration.

Noticing Cao Ying's surprise, Jia Xu slowly spoke: "Lord, although I don't know why Zhao Botao is here now, if Zhao Botao occupies all of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, it is a bit alarmist!" There are more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and Zhao Botao has only been sending troops for more than a month, how can he annihilate one of them? Moreover, even if he pacified Hanzhong and Guanzhong, Tongguan and Pujin Pass, and sent generals to garrison them, how could he personally go out to guard Pujin Pass? ”

In the end, it was Jia Xu, although he didn't get accurate information, although he hadn't figured out all the circumstances, but with these clues, he could see the key to the matter. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was a little more gloomy.

"What should be the situation now?" After Cao Ying recovered his strength, he continued to ask. Jia Xu pondered for a while and said: "The only plan for today is to lead the army to attack Pujin Pass as soon as possible." Even if Zhao Botao captured Pujin Pass, he still hadn't gained a foothold yet. I am waiting for nearly 100,000 troops here to attack with all our might, so why worry about not breaking the pass! ”

"So very good, give the order, march overnight, and send troops to Pujin Pass!" Cao Ying also quickly clapped the decision. didn't want to listen to his words, but no one reacted, and finally Cao Hong accompanied him and said carefully: "Lord, the soldiers have just been rewarded today, and they have slept with enough food and wine, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to move forward with the whole army for a while!" ”

"What?" Cao Ying suddenly had a headache when he heard this, and finally he could only wave his hand and say, "Then let's organize the army as soon as possible tomorrow!" Then he motioned for the group to stand down.

"Alas!" After Cao Hong and the others withdrew, a trace of exhaustion and even helplessness appeared on Cao Ying's face. No one would have thought that this world-famous man who has dominated the world for half his life would also have such a tired and weak time. At this moment, Cao Ying doesn't look like a majestic king at all, like a tired old man.

"Zhao Botao, Zhao Botao, do you want to spoil my big thing?" Cao Ying muttered. For this hateful name, Cao Ying doesn't know how many times he has muttered in private.

is this person, when he avenged his father and attacked Xuzhou, he designed to defeat himself, so that he almost became a lost dog under the attack of Liu Bei and Lu Bu; is also this person, who marched into Yuzhou, used Cao Xiu to deceive him to come to Qianjun, and sent all his relatives to Yanzhou and then to Hebei; is still this person, who dissolved his vigorous five-way army in parallel, and then took advantage of the situation to take Hanzhong and Xichuan successively; is still this person, playing with his general Xiahou Yuan between applause, and in the blink of an eye, he pacified the land of Xiliang and Longxi; In the end, it was this person who came out of nowhere to rescue Liu Bei when he was about to play him to death. Now, he coincidentally appeared in front of him, blocking his path to enter the pass. Cao Ying, Cao Ying, is he your nemesis? Thinking of this, Cao Ying, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, couldn't help but feel a little confused. This night, although he was exhausted, Cao Ying almost couldn't close his eyes.

Early the next morning, Cao Ying gathered the generals to prepare to send troops. When everyone gathered, Cao Ying found that everyone was shocked.

"Why are you so distracted?" Cao Ying asked strangely. After a while, Cao Xiu said cautiously: "Lord, what's wrong with your hair?" ”

"My hair?" Cao Yingqi said, and then took a look at the bronze mirror on the table. At this look, Cao Ying himself was stunned: the shadow in the mirror was already full of white hair, and there was not even a single black one.

"This is, this is?" After a long night, Cao Ying was also incoherent for a while. After a while, Cao Ying put down the mirror, raised his head and said casually: "The generals don't need to panic, they all go to straighten out the military horses and prepare to go!" ”

"No!" Cao Hong and the others promised to go and prepare without mentioning it. After everyone left, only Cao Ying and Jia Xu were left in the tent. Cao Ying was silent for a long time, but finally smiled bitterly: "Wenhe, Lone is old after all!" ”

"Why did the lord say this, when he returns to Junye City to summon the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, he will definitely be safe!" Jia Xu comforted. But seeing Cao Ying, he shook his head a little lonely, and finally said a little stunned: "Yuan Benchu, Liu Xuande, although these opponents are powerful, they can't defeat me." There is only one thing in this world that can really defeat Cao Mengde, and that is time! ”

"Lord!" Jia Xu was anxious when he heard this, and just as he was waiting for the admonition, Cao Ying waved his hand to stop it, and then Cao Ying ordered the whole army to move out as soon as possible and go to Pubanjin. Jia Xu looked at Cao Ying's white hair, his mouth opened, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Jia Xu knew that the reason why Cao Ying was so anxious to fight this battle was to recapture Guanzhong. Since the year before last and missing out on that almost low-hanging fruit victory, Cao Ying has changed. This old man, who is over half a hundred years old, seems to have regained the vitality of eating, drinking, and gambling in his youth, and suddenly he is extremely energetic, and he begins to arrange various matters in an orderly manner. Even the head wind disease that has always plagued him rarely flares up, and it almost cures spontaneously. It is under Cao Ying's almost tireless work that Hebei's vitality can recover so quickly.

Almost everyone in Cao Ying's group was surprised by Cao Ying's abnormality, but then almost everyone was happy. They think that this is almost endless Cao Ying, otherwise it would not make Cao Ying burst out with vigorous energy like almost rejuvenation, but Jia Xu has his own worries.

Jia Xu does not believe in the Mandate of Heaven, but no matter how much he believes in the Mandate of Heaven, it must be a spectrum to make sense. Now that Cao Ying is so abnormal, Jia Xu is even more worried that he is returning to the light. All these worries confirmed Jia Xu's estimation even more after Cao Ying's overnight whitehead.
