Chapter 448: Heroes are shown in critical moments

"Wonderful! Now it's time to behave yourself! Li Yu solemnly explained to Xiahou Yuan, who was obedient in front of him: "Cao Chong's rebellion swept the entire Sili Prefecture, and I am worried that their actions will exceed our expectations!"

Or they will directly occupy Luoyang, using Chen Liu as a springboard, and directly threaten Xuchang City, and the other kind is even more worrying! If they contact the people of Xishu, they will attack Gao Shun and Pang Tong's troops before and after, and let the soldiers and horses of Xishu rush into the Central Plains."

In the Cao clan or among the relatives and nobles of the Cao family, Xiahou Yuan has the most powerful military exploits, and Cao Ren has always been the most potential general, although Cao Hong's character is flawed, he is a lucky general and a brave general, only Xiahou Yuan has not been able to give full play to his best strength and show his most distinctive side; Now, this great general, who once broke the 100,000 Black Mountain Army with 3,000 cavalry, is also dying and decrepit, but-Lian Po is old, can he still eat? Never underestimate those who have experienced the decisive battle on the battlefield and survived the big waves!

The blood in his chest was still not cold, and the ambition to serve the country was still eternal, Xiahou Yuan clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to share my worries for Mr." The last general is willing to serve the Great Wei State! No matter what it is, as long as the husband tells him to go down, a certain family will naturally do everything! ”

"Good!" Li Yu clapped his hands and applauded, and said, "Your subordinates are the fastest in mobility, I need you to rush to Hanoi County as quickly as possible!" In any case, the rebels must not be allowed to break through the area of Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass! ”

Xiahou Yuan slapped his chest: "No! The big waves wash the sand out of real gold, and the true colors of heroes are shown in times of crisis!

Li Yu nodded: "I will hand over Lu Bin to you and let him be your vanguard general!" This kid's martial arts are not inferior to his father's, let him be your arm and set off immediately, go quickly, and don't stop when you arrive in Xuchang."

Xiahou Yuan soon commanded the headquarters of 5,000 men and horses to rush to Silizhou, according to Li Yu's order, to occupy the dangerous pass, delay time, wait for his large army to reach the main battlefield, Li Yu was conceited in the victory of the perennial years, and had confidence in the victory of those rabble; On the other hand, Ji Ling had just led the troops to be stationed in Shouchun, and before he even entered the gate of Shouchun, he was mobilized by Li Yu's order. With Ji Ling's loyalty to Yuan Shu, since Yuan Shu's death, his loyalty has been transferred to Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, and now Yuan Yao is a member of the traitorous party. Especially Ji Ling himself is a very good general, he is a top figure in terms of wisdom, force, and commanding troops, maybe not the most outstanding in a certain aspect, but he is absolutely comprehensive; His own movements are also a point that Li Yu is extremely afraid of, fortunately, the news is extremely tightly blocked, and there are not many people who know about it, at least there are very few troops under Li Yu's command, Ji Ling has no other thoughts, and comes alone

On the way of the army's action, Ji Ling led his three hundred troops to rush over, from a distance, the whole army was very chaotic, there would even be many discarded military baggage on both sides of the road, the cavalry blindly rushed forward, and the foot soldiers rushed forward impatiently

There are also many cavalry war horses that are used as horses, put on the cart, and pull the armor and other heavy items carrying the foot soldiers Ji Ling frowned slightly, and he was a little incomprehensible and even annoyed in his heart, in his impression; Li Yu was very strict in governing the army, even if he did not personally train the troops, but he was very strict with the generals, whether it was a rapid march or other actions, he should not behave as clumsy as today, otherwise he would face the spittling reprimand and punishment of that gentleman; Concerned about speed? Ji Ling's thoughts turned around a thousand times, and finally he thought of something major that might have happened, even if Li Yu couldn't calm down, what could make him so anxious?

With a lot of questions, Ji Ling chased all the way, came to Li Yu's carriage while the troops were marching, and knocked lightly a few times: "The last general Ji Ling!" Lord Feng Taiwei ordered to come to report on his work! ”

Li Yu hadn't slept for two days, with black bags under his eyes, poking his head out of the car window, and seeing that it was Ji Ling, his expression perked up slightly, but his voice could not hide his exhaustion: "The tiger is coming!" Get into the carriage, I have something to say to you!" ”

Ji Ling didn't dare to slack off, got off the war horse, and got into Li Yu's carriage, the carriage of the carriage was lengthened and widened and wrapped in iron sheets, the inner space was spacious, and it took six horses to pull it, Li Yu was not a person who liked to enjoy, so the decoration in his carriage was not good-looking; Except for a small couch used to place the scrolls, that is, some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, which were normal times, but now his carriage was full of maps, and the marks on it made Ji Ling, who glanced at it, look down; What he expected really happened, there was a fire in the rear, so Li Yu was so impatient, but he didn't expect anything, Li Yu pondered for a long time before saying to him: "I want to ask you now, are you loyal to the Great Wei State now, or loyal to the Yuan family!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the situation became much more tense, and Ji Ling thought that one day this issue would be mentioned, however, he could not find his own direction, that is, he could not figure out what he should do; The Yuan family is already yesterday's yellow flower, but the Great Wei State is thriving, the Yuan family can give him little or no things now, but the Wei State can give him more, but he is not the kind of ungrateful person, he is a very grateful person, and he knows how to repay him; Which is the loyal monarch and the patriot, and which country is the country This is a question that Ji Ling has never figured out, so he doesn't know how to answer Li Yu's question, so he can only stare at Li Yu with his eyes, conveying his complex emotions; Li Yu's eyes became more and more gloomy, he had fought for the Great Wei State for nearly thirty years, and the hard work he had paid would definitely not be worse than Cao Cao, in order to make this country survive better, he would rather bear all the notoriety!

Whether it is the battle of Nanjun, his use of 100,000 Cao troops as bait, or-for-tat confrontation with the scholars, these are his love for this country, and he will never allow anyone to blaspheme the extremely sacred Wei country in his heart! No one!

Ji Ling was stared at with cold eyes, and his arrogant head was slightly lowered, unwilling to look, or dare not look at Li Yu's current appearance, suddenly-he thought of something! Pursed his lips bitterly: "Is something wrong with Mr. Huaide Yuan Yao?" ”

Li Yu's eyebrows were still cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Yuan Yao is bold, and now he is conspiring with Cao Chong and others to start a rebellion in Sili Prefecture, Hedong County, and Hongnong County, and I can forgive them!"

But they shouldn't have invited strangers to come and conspire with them! The so-called - the heart of the non-mine race will be different! How can they be so ignorant? No matter how the Han people fight, it is always an internal dispute among their own families, and outsiders from other races! ”

Looking at Li Yu's angry appearance now, Ji Ling thought of the seriousness of the matter, I am afraid that this rebellion is not a small-scale riot, it is obviously enough to threaten the foundation of the Wei State, otherwise Li Yu would not be so angry; When I thought of this gentle and elegant gentleman, he used to be a super butcher, and the slaughtered aliens were even more bitter than millions of Ji Ling! Yuan Yao! How can I save you? How should I explain to your father?

"Bang bang bang!" , Li Yu knocked on the table in the carriage and said, "You should understand why I summoned you here this time, right?" It's just that he doesn't worry about you! I don't know if you're loyal to the Yuan family or the Wei state."

Ji Ling clenched his fists, obviously stabbed by this sentence, after a few heavy gasps, he adjusted his mentality, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "I, Ji Ling, am not a person who knows how to repay his kindness!"

The previous emperor was as kind to me as a mountain, and His Majesty the contemporary emperor is also very kind to me, but I can't leave Yuan Yao alone! He's gone astray now! I promised Lord Yuan to protect their brother and sister!

I am willing to go to the area of Hedong County to find Yuan Yao and lead him back to the right path! I hope Mr. will agree! Loyalty to the Yuan family, this is what I should do, and the righteousness of the country is also what I should do! Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have not been fulfilled, if I can't persuade Yuan Yao to return to the right path, then I can only apologize with death! ”

"Going to Hedong alone?" , Li Yu closed his eyes, he didn't have enough confidence now, he didn't know if Ji Ling was really loyal to the Wei State, if he was gone, he would definitely add a strong enemy! That's why he hesitated!

Ji Ling looked at Li Yu, who looked hesitant, and stuffed the little mother's finger into his mouth with a bang!

Li Yu's eyes widened, and he smiled for a while! nodded to Ji Ling: "It's good to chew your fingers and swear, hey!" I'm suspicious! But you also know everything I have done to the Wei State! I hope you can forgive me! Go ahead! ”

Ji Ling said goodbye, turned around and got out of the carriage, stepped on the war horse, and led the guards to run to the east of the river in the night of three hundred stars. He Ji Ling is also a good man!

In the middle of the carriage, Li Yu sighed gloomily, who would have thought that a rebellion could cause such a big turmoil? It can even threaten the rule of the entire empire! Could it really be that he was wrong? Shouldn't Cao Pi be too tolerant of these people?

Who knows!
