Wancheng, the county guard mansion where Cao ** rested, in Cao **'s bedroom, the chamberlain who had been ordered by Cao ** before going to bed was hesitantly walking under the hall, holding an urgent letter in his hand, and a sword, as an inner servant who had followed the prime minister for many years, of course he knew how important this urgent letter from General Le Wen Qianle was, but he was still very difficult.

The rumor was like a buzzing fly around his ears, and he was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was going round and round in the hall, and he was extremely contradictory, and if he pressed and did not report it, when the prime minister woke up, he must be guilty of a capital crime, which was a crime of misconduct; Second, he was even more afraid that he really responded to the rumor and was beheaded by the prime minister with a sword in his sleep.

The waiter was patrolling, timidly thinking about how good it would be if the prime minister could wake up at this time, but obviously, he was thinking too much, the prime minister's snoring had the momentum of shaking tiles, and where was the rhythm of waking up?

Left and right are a death, the inner servant stiffened, slowly walked up to the hall, the guards on both sides were silent, to the inner hall, the prime minister's snoring became louder and louder, in the eyes of this inner attendant, it seemed to be like a drum urging him to die.

The waiter slowly stood three steps away from the couch, in the eyes of the waiter, this was an extremely safe distance, and it was impossible for the sword to cut him on the couch. There's an urgent message coming back ahead! ”

The prime minister didn't react, and the chamberlain was bold, slowly took two steps forward, and his voice was a little louder: "Prime minister!" General Le has returned with an urgent letter! ”

"Cangchang!" The sound of metal rubbing sounded, and the waiter's face turned pale, but he didn't even dare to move his steps, staring directly at the long sword fixed in front of his nose, a drop of cold sweat flowed from his nose, dripping on the tip of the sword, although the sound was small, it made the waiter seem to have walked away from the ghost gate.

The chamberlain hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The villain alarmed the prime minister to sleep, it's really damned, but there is an urgent letter back from the front, and the prime minister wants to read it in person!" ”

Cao ** had obviously just woken up, and when he saw the chamberlain kneeling in front of him, he slowly lowered his sword, picked up the urgent letter scattered by his side, and a saber.

Cao ** frowned: "This sword, bold!" Do you dare to bring a sword to the court? ”

The chamberlain hurriedly said: "This is a matter sent back by General Le, and it is a matter to be handed over to the prime minister!" ”

Cao ** stared at the saber stained with a little blood, it looked very familiar, slowly, he remembered that this sword was the saber he gave to Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan should carry it with him, and he should not leave his body.

Cao ** gradually felt bad, and waved away the waiter, who seemed to have received amnesty, and crawled down the hall.

Cao ** frowned, picked up the urgent letter on the ground, decisively tore off the fire paint, and looked at it carefully, for a long time, the letter slipped from his hand, but he still didn't know, a drop of muddy old tears, rolled over the cheeks full of age spots, Xiahou Yuan has been following him since the beginning of his uprising, how many times to save him from fire and water, to say that there is no emotion, it is unlikely, Cao ** has not been so hurt for a long time.

Xiahou Yuan is different from Xu Huang, his status is quite high among the generals of Cao **, and he is also a general in the clan, compared to Cao Xiu, Xiahou Yuan and others, otherwise, he would not let Xiahou Yuan lead an army alone, above Zhang He and Xu Huang, and resist the Shu army in Hanzhong.

"Wonderful! How can you bear to leave me! "Because he was afraid that someone would do evil to him, he did not let people serve him near when he was asleep, and at this moment there was not even a man in the hall, and all the attendants, the guards, and even the maidservants were waiting in the hall.

Cao ** sighed, no one responded to this huge hall, and a sense of loneliness arose. Cao ** picked up the urgent letter again, saw Le Jin's analysis, and said slowly: "Is it really the general of Shuzhong who has arrived here?" Could it be that Liu Bei, a cunning slave, actually changed the main direction of attack from Guanzhong to Jingzhou? Otherwise, how could so many generals be invested here? ”

The more Cao ** thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he raised his head and said loudly: "Someone!" Summons all civil and military, and the main hall is deliberating! Change your face! ”

There was a voice from the waiter in the hall: "Wow! ”

The city guard mansion soon gathered many generals and masterminds, Cao ** is very anxious, if Liu Bei comes to attack with all his strength, he is not careful, once he falls into a disadvantage, it will be difficult to recover, he originally thought, if the Jingzhou army only wants to Xiangfan, and does not go north, this result is still acceptable, but now it seems that the Jingzhou army has a big move north, the signs of advancing the entire Nanyang County, and once Nanyang is lost, Runan and even the entire Yuzhou will be exposed to the edge of the Jingzhou army.

Cao ** didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he was born very sensitive to the situation, he knew what would happen later, over the years, he suppressed the Shi clan in the Central Plains, killed a lot of people, and once these people were put under Liu Bei's command, they would intensify their attacks on themselves, and his name was much weaker than Liu Bei's so-called imperial uncle, once Liu Bei entered the Central Plains, in the name of righteousness, he would be difficult to win the hearts of the Central Plains Shi people.

The civil and military forces in the hall have gathered, Cao ** stepped onto the main seat, and everyone got up: "I've seen King Wei!" ”

This is the title that Cao ** likes very much now, at first he started the army, he only wanted to be the head of a county, and even the general was sufficient, but as his power became higher and higher, his status became more and more respectful, the territory became larger and larger, and there were more and more generals and horses, and he thought more and more.

And the King of Wei, who is called by the civil and military forces, is also his favorite honorific name. At this moment, he is the emperor of the Northland, but he is missing the name and the emperor's crown.

Cao ** reinvigorated his spirits, yes, in the end, he still has the rich prefectures and counties of the North, and there are countless soldiers and horses, Liu Qiannu only occupies two states in the end, so as not to have too much threat to his foundation, maybe the war is not going well in the near future, but Cao ** is still very confident, but the foundation gives him confidence.

Cao ** looked at everyone and said slowly: "I just received the news, Miaocai, who was killed in an ambush in Nanxiangzuo, and led more than 10,000 elite riders, and there is not one in ten." ”

As soon as these words came out, it suddenly seemed like cold water was poured into the boiling oil, and the oil splashed everywhere, this news is obviously unacceptable, what kind of character is Xiahou Miaocai, that is a fierce general who followed the prime minister from the wind and waves, how could he chase a small group of people in Jingzhou near Nanxiang and die?

Doesn't it mean that the enemy army has less than 10,000 people? And most of them are still foot soldiers? Xiahou Miaocai is the elite cavalry of our Northland? What is Le Wenqian doing? He has 30,000 military horses in his hands, all of them are vegetarians?

Cao ** said slowly: "Le Wenqian sent back an urgent letter, saying that Miaocai lightly advanced the enemy, led more than 10,000 elite cavalry to stand out for more than 100 miles, and galloped to Nanxiang, wanting to attack and kill this enemy army. However, due to the ambush plan, more than 10,000 military horses did not exert any power and were annihilated in the camp! Moreover, Le Wenqian believes that the commander of this enemy army is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, one of the five tigers in Shu! ”

"What? Huang Hansheng? Isn't this fang in Hanzhong? How will it be here? ”

"That's right, if it weren't for this person, who could be so fierce and actually destroy General Xiahou in one fell swoop?"

"So, there are already three of the Five Tigers in Shuzhong in Jingzhou? Liu Bei's main direction of attack has changed here? Terrible! ”

"Prime Minister, our army can't swallow its anger so much, these days are too cowardly, they have been withdrawing, they are constantly losing battles, and the morale of the soldiers is very low!" (To be continued.) )
