"You told Gu so much, it won't be just a reminder of Gu Yiyi, right?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xuan with a sneer, obviously seeing through Liu Xuan's careful thinking.

Liu Xuan is not stupid, but Cao Cao is not stupid, otherwise he would not have laid a huge "Cao Wei Empire" with his bare hands! ”

"Hehe-uncle is really powerful, yes, the little nephew now has a word to tell him, and then the uncle will talk about whether to enter the army or not - how about it?" Liu Xuan looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"Say it." Cao Cao also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Xuan's gourd!

"Uncle and my brother-in-law want to annex my Jingzhou - this, the little nephew is one move short of chess, and he is convinced - but there is a mistake, but the little nephew is trapping your uncle, and you are a partial teacher in Zigui - this can be regarded as a comfort."

Liu Xuan said with a smile. "And—uncle, you may not know, just yesterday, Xu Yuanzhi, a little nephew, came back from Chang'an with a message—the little nephew negotiated a successful deal with King Qin—"

"It won't be long before we see results—"

"Buying and selling?" Cao Cao frowned suddenly. "What do you do with the horses?"

"Tell me—hehe, a deal that can help the little nephew make his uncle have to retire from the army—" Liu Xuan looked at Cao Cao with a smile, like a big bad wolf staring at the little white rabbit. Cao Cao's eyes closed slightly.

"You mean, you and Ma Chao have teamed up, but so??"

Liu Xuan smiled in the face of Cao Cao's aggressive tone, "Uncle-little nephew, what if you say yes, what if you say no?" ”

"You-"

Cao Cao was asked by Liu Xuan, but it was difficult to say anything. I was there for a while, "Hmph-what if you join forces with Ma Chao?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xuan with horizontal eyes.

"Lonely and Miaocai is the commander of the west, and Wen He is the military advisor, and there is a strong city pass on the side - as long as the city is strictly guarded, Ma Chao is mostly an iron horseman, and how can he be lonely in the west?"

Cao Cao was very confident in this, and Liu Xuan was slightly shocked when he heard that Jia Xu was also there with Xiahou Yuan, but then he was relieved. Ma Chao has a phoenix chick by his side, and Xiahou Yuan must not be his opponent!

It is understandable that Cao Cao sent a supreme strategist to take charge. I just don't know - will Jia Xu see through that plan?

In an instant, Liu Xuan's heart also swelled with a trace of unease. Liu Xuan didn't want Ma Chao to get the merger so quickly - in this way, Ma Chao's shili became stronger, which was not good news for Liu Xuan.

But if Ma Chao's actions can't be carried out smoothly, he can't force Cao Cao back to defend the north, so the degree between this must be grasped. I hope that old guy Jia Xu is not so shrewd. Hey-Liu Xuan's heart turned sharply, and then he looked at Cao Cao with a smile. "Oh, uncle really thinks that's all right?"

"Uncle thinks my nephew eats dry rice?" Liu Xuan sneered. "Uncle-nephew, tell me bluntly. If you're slowing down—then, merging states isn't guaranteed—"

"Uncle, you should understand - if Bingzhou, a dangerous state that blocks Ma Chao, is lost, then, with the wide terrain of Hebei, how can it resist Ma Chao's iron cavalry?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed suddenly. The eyes are shining. "You mean—Ma Chao wants to take me and merge with the state?"

"Anything is possible—"

Cao Cao quickly fell silent from his astonishment. After a while, Cao Cao stared at Liu Xuan and said. "Why did you tell me - didn't you join forces with Ma Chao?"

"In order to get my uncle to stop here—it's worth it—"

Liu Xuan grinned. Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and suddenly said. "It's okay to retreat—but Zixiao and them—"

"Hehe- don't worry about this uncle. Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Chun, these nephews of the Cao family must be returned-the little nephew still wants his uncle to rely on these Cao family children to resist Ma Chao. Huh-"

Liu Xuan said gently. "But. Uncle-plus Zigui Road, nephew can be regarded as giving you four Cao family generals-Uncle doesn't think he needs to show it? ”

"What do you want?"

"Uncle, let's not talk darkly, my nephew has a few horses, so how about four Cao generals for eight thousand war horses?"

"What?? 8,000 horses??? ”

Cao Cao suddenly became angry. There was also suppressed anger in his tone. "Hehe—you've got a big appetite—eight thousand horses, how dare you speak?" Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Liu Xuan smiled.

"Uncle-you have newly acquired Liaodong, taken the place where the horse is sourced, and there is a place for horses in Youzhou. In the north, there are even Wuheng and other aliens sending horses and soldiers - 8,000 horses, in exchange for four loyal Cao family children - it should be worth it? ”

"Besides, as the world knows, cavalry is not easy, and it is even more difficult to build a fine cavalry - how can it be done without three years and two years?"

Liu Xuan shook his head and said, "Again-even if my nephew has created eight thousand cavalry, how can he compete with the tiger and leopard cavalry under his uncle's command?" My nephew's request for cavalry is just a precaution—"

"Plus Xu Huang, Yu Ban - Lone will give you 8,000 war horses."

Cao Cao lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, and felt that what Liu Xuan said was very true, to build an army of elite cavalry that can go to the battlefield and be invincible - it is impossible without three years and five years.

Didn't even the tigers and leopards under his command go through bloody battles? Three years - only 10,000 so far. It can be seen that it is scarce - Cao Cao also listened to Cao Hong, and Xiahoudun said that Liu Xuan had an iron horse, which was quite powerful.

Cao Cao soon understood that Liu Xuan's group of iron cavalry must have absorbed the group of northerners who were guarding Jiangling from Cao Renzhen. That's all there is to it. Since Cao Cao eliminated the Gongsun clan, the overlord of Liaodong, and took the entire territory of Liaodong, Cao Cao has obtained a large number of soldiers and horses.

The strength once increased greatly.

"Xu Huang, the second general Yu Ban is already a general under the little nephew - uncle, forget it." Liu Xuan smiled and said.

Cao Cao frowned. "Gongming, Wen Ze surrendered?"

Liu Xuan could hear the suspicion and vague anger in Cao Cao's tone, and the corners of Liu Xuan's mouth hooked, "Uncle-what do you think people will do if they are discouraged?" ”

Cao Cao was speechless for a while. He knew what Liu Xuan was referring to—Cao Cao sighed in his heart. Then he said. "Okay--in the future, when Gu returns to Xudu, he will send Gongming and Wen Ze's family to Xiangyang-Liu Xuan, Gu wants to inform you, treat Gongming and Wen Ze well-Gu, I'm sorry for them-"

After that, Cao Cao stood up, and as soon as he swung his robe, he got on a yellow horse, and Liu Xuan also got up on Lu, and the two looked at each other for a long time. finally ended with Liu Xuan smiling.

Watching Liu Xuan leave in a dashing manner, Liu Wu, Wu Fei and other generals still have the fierceness of the blood guards-the majestic military appearance of the five thousand elites led by Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and other generals not far away-

Cao Cao could not be in a trance for a while. After a long time, Cao Cao looked again in the direction of Liu Xuan's departure—there, a black spot appeared and disappeared from time to time.

"Giving birth to children should be like Liu Yanhao-Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and other descendants are just dry bones-" After Cao Cao sighed repeatedly, he didn't say much and rode towards Xinye.

The next day, Cao Cao and Liu Xuan met again, and soon, Cao Cao and Liu Xuan reached a deal. "Liu Xuan-between you and me, there will always be a battle-" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xuan deeply after watching his three generals return.

"If there is a day—the nephew must follow the example of the former Duke Wen of Jin and retreat to repay his uncle—uncle, and take care—"

Liu Xuan said softly, that is, he led a group of civil and military forces under his command, as well as the eight thousand warlike horses from Liaodong and returned to Fancheng with a full load - not long after Liu Xuan left, Cao Cao also gave the order to retreat to the north.

An army of nearly 100,000 is rushing to Wancheng, and Xu is on the front line. After returning to Wancheng, Cao Cao immediately sent a letter to the supreme commander of the Wei army on the western front, Xiahou Yuan!

Three days later, Luoyang.

Luoyang has thousands of years of civilization history, the history of the founding of the city and the history of the construction of the capital, ancient Chinese Fuxi, Nuwa, Yellow Emperor, Tang Yao, Yu ancient capital Luoyang Shun, Xia Yu and other myths, mostly spread here. Since the Xia Dynasty, thirteen dynasties have set their capitals here, and more than 100 emperors have been in Luoyang to guide the country.

Luoyang is the only one in the history of our country that has been named "Shendu!" Therefore, Luoyang is also known as "the thousand-year-old imperial capital, the holy city of China!" ”

And at this moment, in the inner city of Luoyang. Xiahou Yuan was holding the two pieces of information on the case, frowning. There was a deep sorrow between his eyebrows—a moment later, a guard rushed in and shouted, "General—the King of Wei's urgent military situation—"

Xiahou Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, could it be that there was any change in the south of the secret road? Puzzled, he raised his head and said in a loud voice, "Pass it on-" Soon, Xiahou Yuan was browsing the contents of the letter, and Xiahou Yuan Huo Ran got up and went to the huge map in the main hall, and the tiger eyes shrank suddenly.

"It's not good--fell for Ma Chao's thief's trick-"

"Someone comes—quickly call Mr. Wenhe to come—and say that there will be a big matter to discuss."
