"This."

Qinchuan is a huge city, like a mountain range that will never collapse, standing on the land in the northwest, this city belongs to Ma Teng.

But at this moment, there is a national flag with the word "Chu" hanging on the head of the city, and this city now belongs to the Chu State and has nothing to do with Ma Teng.

A super-small, five-pound, cavalry corps, this stood in front of the city in a daze, led by a knight, said in a daze.

They were the people sent by Yan Xing to warn Han Sui, and they came almost at a gallop: but when they saw the city in front of them, they knew that their mission had failed.

It is estimated that Lianghou Han Sui has already failed, and they have not seen Han Sui's defeated army take back, I am afraid that the whole army has been wiped out.

Thinking of this possibility, the five knights all shuddered.

"What are we going to do, Lord Duber?" A knight asked the man at the head.

"Most of the lords are defeated, and most likely the whole army will be destroyed. I want to go, you decide for yourselves. Du Bo groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said resolutely.

"Let's go."

The interrogating knight was slightly stunned, and he had not yet come back to his senses.

"There was Ma Chao first, Cao Hong lost in which county, and lost most of the cavalry. Now that the lord has been defeated, or even the entire army has been wiped out, do you still think that the Liang State and the Qin State still have any future? There are only two heroes left in the world. That is, Cao Cao, Kou Feng. And Kou Feng's chances of winning are much greater, even if we want to go against Kou Feng, we should defect to Cao Cao. What's more, we don't have to go against him. Let's go, I'm afraid the world is about to be unified. It's not bad to go back to your hometown to farm, with this wealth. ”

Dubo glanced at the war horses behind several people and said.

When traveling, because it was necessary to warn Han Sui as quickly as possible, it was equipped with one person and three horses, plus some of the belongings they carried with them all year round, it was a good start.

"Actually, farming is not bad." The other knight interjected, a look of tiredness on his face. The people here are all Xiliang elites, who have been fighting all year round, and now they are tired of it:

"Yes, Lord Waldu." Others said.

"Okay, let's go." Du Bo nodded, led everyone without looking back, and headed northwest: he didn't plan to report Han Xun's matter at all.

"Hey, why are these people still going north?"

Qin" Chengtou, Wu Yi wondered. A team of five people looked outside the city, and naturally it was impossible not to find it. Wu Yi came to see after hearing the news:

It is speculated that it may be some people from Xianyang who exchanged news with Han Sui. Seeing that Qin was "broken, he should be able to guess Han Sui's fate, but he didn't expect to go to the northwest again.

"By the way, it may also be that people's hearts are unstable and they take the opportunity to escape." But not long after, Wu Yi's heart showed a look of enlightenment, and he smiled happily and said.

Immediately, Wu Yi ordered: "Come here, set up a post station on the main road, whether it is a traveler, or a fleeing Qin State, Liang State soldiers, all of them will be supplied with food and a batch of property." Other than that. If someone wants to join the nearby Qin "household registration and become a Chu person: also give cheap:"

"No." A small official in the army promised and said: "Now between Yongliang and Yongliang, the state of Chu is rampant. The morale of the army is fluctuating, and doing some work can also attract more deserters. This is not bad" After giving the order, Wu Yi turned his head to look at the east again, and said secretly in his heart. ……………………

Handwei

In the Duke of Wei's mansion, Cao Cao was looking at the map.

The map is the map of Yongliang, densely covered with cities and mountains.

"An army of 250,000 people, and they are all elite soldiers who are brave and good at fighting. Cao Hong, Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Ma Chao are all brave and warlike generals, coupled with Zhong Zhong's resourcefulness, they should be able to block the edge of Chu State. Cao Cao paused for a long time and said.

But having said that, I can't hide the uncertainty. The Chu army is sharp and has never been defeated, and the world will not dare to oppose it. No matter how strong Yongliang is, Cao Cao can't completely go.

"Ming Gong, there is an official document from Shangshu Linggou or has arrived, and it is an urgent report" Suddenly a small official walked in from the head and reported.

"Bring it." Cao Cao's heart jumped, and when he heard the word "urgent report", he was really unstable in his heart, and he calmed down, and Cao Cao immediately stretched out his hand and said.

"No." The official agreed, took the bamboo slip and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao dismantled the rope, opened it and saw that his face immediately changed greatly, and he said clearly in the bamboo slip, Ma Chao, Cao Hong was defeated by the state of Chu in the county.

The state of Chu used sharp weapons such as the Yihe repeater and the repeater bed, which had never been used. In addition, Han Sui went to the east to rescue Jincheng, which may also be in danger.

Although, although Cao Cao knew that the prosperity of the Chu army and the multiplicity of the Chu army's methods, it was unimaginable that Ma Teng and Han Sui would be so vulnerable. led an army of 250,000, of which more than half of the cavalry was defeated by the Chu army so quickly on the plain of Yongliang.

This is something that Cao Cao never dreamed of.

Ma Chao and Cao Hong suffered heavy losses, and Han Sui was still unknown The strength of the three kingdoms of Qin, Liang, and Qi in Yongliang may drop to one or two hundred thousand. Sticker bar grip dedication.

On the contrary, the Chu army may still have two or three hundred thousand, which means that the Yongliang portal has basically been opened by the whole army. Unless strong foreign aid joins, it is very likely that the state of Chu will encroach on Liangzhou in a short period of time, win Yongzhou, and occupy the ancient capital of Chang'an. Changan.

According to the intelligence, as well as the style of Kou Feng, the king of Chu, Cao Cao clearly knew that Kou Feng had one and one intention, that is, to regard Chang'an as the ultimate goal, that is, where he was the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty.

This is not difficult to analyze, those who have always won the Guanzhong have won the world, Qin Shi Huang, Gaozu Liu Bang, and Emperor Sejong Guangwu have all won the world by Guanzhong.

Although Kou Feng went to Xiangyang, he moved to Chengdu after a short time. I heard that although there is a royal palace in Chengdu, it is quite simple. is a bit of a king, but there is no genius.

This means that the casino in Kou Feng's mind is in Chang'an, in the north. It is very likely to be Chang'an.

"If he gets Chang'an, I'm afraid he will have to be called the emperor" Cao Cao held the bamboo slip stiffly, and begged slightly. The eyes are even more fierce and abnormal, and a breath of the world's heroes exudes it.

The little official in front of him was shocked, and lowered his head deeply.

After a while, the momentum on Cao Cao's body reined. Because Cao Cao knew that it was precisely because of the urgency of the situation that he should find a way to deal with the Chu State and save Yongliang's fate.

But how to save it?

The strength of the state of Chu is already suspicious. Sending an ordinary army team over, even if it is a hundred thousand troops, it is estimated that it is useless. Moreover, Yongliang is a plain:

Qin, Liang, and Wei, which are suitable for cavalry and have a strong cavalry army, should have occupied a favorable location, but after losing the advantage of cavalry, the plains became unfavorable.

Because there are no mountains and rivers to defend. and lost the advantage of cavalry, forming a situation that is easy to attack and difficult to defend: therefore, it is best to send cavalry over for assistance:

And more elite cavalry, for example, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

It's just that Cao Cao still has some concerns, and after muttering a piece of power, Cao Cao said to the little official: "Let's go down first: inform someone else, go and find the map of the Central Plains:"

"No." The little official agreed, and immediately fried and walked out.

Soon after, several guards walked in carrying a screen, on which was embroidered a huge map of the Central Plains: the so-called Central Plains is the area south of the Yellow River, north of the Yangtze River, and east of Zhaguan. Since ancient times, it has been coveted by princes.

Now, it's all in Cao Cao's hands. It should be said that Cao Cao is the main family in the world, and the Chu State in the southeast should be a barbarian outside the Central Plains.

However, Cao Cao glanced at the map and sighed:

After a long time, I put away the sigh in my heart. Instead, I focused on the map, first Yangzhou, and then Wancheng. These two parties, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and others from the Chu State are guarded, and there is no movement at present.

But it should never be overlooked.

Cao Cao rode with 50,000 tiger concubines and placed them in Xudu. In order to deter Xu Shu from going north, Cao Cao believed that Xu Shu, who had no cavalry, would not dare to go north under the edge of the tiger's horse.

In Xuzhou and Chongzhou, Cao Cao also placed Gou You, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Shen, Le Jin and others to guard to prevent Huang Zhong from going north.

These generals built layers of fortifications that served as a barrier against the state of Chu. made Wei State so solid that Xu Shu and Huang Zhong did not dare to go north.

And if it is here, the tiger concubine will ride west to support Yongliang.

Xu Shu would definitely not remain silent, and at that time, the war was very likely to spread to Xudu, which was the foundation of Wei's rule.

In fact, in addition to the tiger's cavalry, Cao Cao also had about seventy or eighty thousand elite cavalry, although not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry, but it was also a temporary choice.

could have been responsible for supporting the northwest, but the problem was that Chu had another killing move in the north, that is, Lu Xun of Yanzhou, and now Lu Xun is no longer as unstable as he was at the beginning. After large-scale immigration, the state of Chu has made Yanzhou prosperous.

Lu Xun had a great foundation in that place, and there were nearly 100,000 troops.

Although Cao Cao also sent Zhang Liao to lead tens of thousands of troops to guard Youzhou in case of Lu Xun. But after all, the gap in military strength was huge, and Cao Cao had to deploy seventy or eighty thousand cavalry in the Youyan area as a force to defend the capital Hancheng.

Anyway, counting and counting, it would be a big risk to send any military team to support Yongliang:

"You can't help it, but if you want to save it, use the most powerful blow to beat the remnants of the seal." In the end, Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he made up his mind violently.

Immediately, Cao Cao sat down suddenly and began to draft official documents.

To the effect that the tiger was ordered to ride west to support Yongliang: soon, this official document was sent:

"Fifty thousand tiger concubines, the most powerful military team in the Wei State. Coupled with the Yongliang Plain, geographically, it has turned easy to attack and difficult to defend into easy to defend and difficult to attack. I also knew the means of the Chu State, the crossbow, the crossbow bed. It is not a problem to defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop. And the only problem is Xu Shu.

Cao Cao sat on the first seat and thought carefully. Then, an official letter was issued for this purpose, ordering Gou or Die to guard Xu Du:

Cao Cao had already expected that the war would enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the ignition of the war would greatly hurt the vitality of the Central Plains, and it was his bottom line to defend Xu
