The rain was still falling, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, squinting at the cavalry not far away, which was less than two thousand, and Cao Cao, who was the leader, had a bad look, but he still recognized Zhang Fei at a glance.

"It's Zhang Yide."

Cao Cao, who was short in stature, was drenched in the rain, and his personal guard Dian Wei was about to bring him a coat, but Cao Cao waved his hand and refused.

Those slender eyes are not very big, and when they squint, they are more like a crescent moon, and they look like a stick star who is loved by the people to death.

"It's Liu Bei's white spirit horse."

Cao Cao's side of Cao Ren has always studied the soldiers and horses, and he naturally knows the standard configuration and clothing color of the white Yu Jing Cavalry, and he recognized the Bai Yu Jing Ride at a glance, not to mention, Cao Cao is no stranger to Zhang Fei in front of the team, when the relationship between Cao and Liu was quite harmonious a few years ago, the two sides also drank wine and fought side by side, so not only Cao Ren recognized the other party at a glance, but also the accompanying Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan Yu Ban Xu Chu Dianwei and other generals also recognized Zhang Fei as the leader.

"It's less than two thousand, do you want to swallow it?" Xiahou Yuan asked, his eyes were slightly hot, for Zhang Fei, he had already had the heart to fight, back then, the two sides stopped at the point, just because they were not mortal enemies, and now Liu Bei and Cao Cao are hostile relations, so naturally they don't have to worry about whether the shot will hurt the harmony between the two sides.

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Yu Ban and other generals are also eager to try, this Zhang Fei is not an easy person, many Cao generals who have been in contact with him know that it is rare to meet opponents in life, especially in the years of Yanzhou development, the generals except for a few battles with Lu Bu a few years ago. There is no chance to fight to the fullest, more than a dozen martial arts generals have long been itchy, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear is a sharp weapon for killing, everyone has the heart to go and understand it, their eyes look directly at Cao Cao, looking at it like this, they have already regarded Zhang Fei as a turtle in the bag.

Cao Cao knew the enthusiasm of the generals under his command, and with a slight sweep of his eyes, he knew what these generals were thinking about. A moment later. But seeing Cao Cao smiled: "What's the point of swallowing less than two thousand soldiers and horses, it can't change the overall situation, and you have to offend Liu Bei to death in vain, not only that." It made Dong Zhuo laugh even more. This is not a good deal. A few of you, give me a little bit of patience. There's a chance you guys have to make a move. ”

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Li Dian, Yu Ban and other generals were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they didn't say much, what Cao Cao said was indeed very reasonable, for the sake of less than two thousand soldiers and horses, and sent troops to surround and kill with great fanfare, it was better to take advantage of a little time to let the army that had galloped for a long time rest for a while, and it was also good to recuperate and meet the upcoming battle.

Seeing that the generals did not insist, Cao Cao nodded slightly, turned over and fell off the horse, and under the support of Dian Wei Xu Chu, he once again sat in his exclusive chariot.

Under the canopy, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, urging the whip to hurry for days, for his age, the consumption is not small, in order to be able to rush to Chang'an City in the shortest possible time, even with him on both sides of the thigh was scratched several layers of skin, even now, it is still hot.

"After all, it's not as good as when I was younger." Cao Cao sighed a little.

When he was young, he was also a strong general, and it was no problem to get off the horse and fight on horseback, but now Cao Cao is almost forty years old, whether it is physical strength or mental strength, he is a little lacking in physical strength and mental strength, from Yanzhou all the way to Chang'an, a few days, whether it is Cao Cao or ordinary soldiers, the time to rest every day is less than five hours, and even at night with torches, cautiously on the road, although he finally caught up, but he was also tired enough, especially Cao Cao and a few military advisers, All of them are so tired that their faces are pale, Cao Cao is fine, as for Guo Jia, who is already in poor health, his face is as pale as paper, and Cheng Yu, who has some martial arts background, also has a thick tiredness on his face.

"Bonghyo, how's it going? Take a breath. ”

Ordered Dian Wei to help Guo Fengxiao and Cheng Yu into the chariot, Cao Cao stroked Guo Jia's back, Cheng Yu rested for a while, but his face was much better, but Guo Jia, who was already in poor health, was unusually pale, and his lips were not bloody, which made Cao Cao feel unusually bad.

"I'm fine, just drink some burnt knives to warm my stomach." Guo Jia's chest floated, panting and responding, although there was nothing wrong with his mouth, his heart seemed to be about to crack, and the pain was uncomfortable.

Cao Cao hurriedly took out a pot of burning knives purchased from Bingzhou from behind the chariot, poured out a cup, handed it to Guo Jia, looked at Guo Jia and drank it in a big gulp, and complained a little: "Usually you don't want to follow the army, this time, you can't even persuade you, are you going to die on such a long journey?" ”

After drinking the burning knife with a full seventy degrees, Guo Jia's face instantly became a lot more ruddy, and even his breathing slowed down, no longer rapid and short, but it made Cao Cao's hanging heart gently put down, poured a cup for Cheng Yu, and poured a glass for himself, and did not drink any appetizers, he drank it all on an empty stomach, and his long hair was stained with a few drops of the burning knife, but there was an indescribable chic.

"The burning knives in this state are really good, but Yanzhou can't brew anything for it, a bunch of waste." His stomach was like a fire burning, but he saw Cao Cao shaking his head and scolding.

"There are burning knives, and the soldiers and horses of the state will occupy a very big advantage in winter operations."

Cheng Yu, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, opened his mouth, he was tall, he looked more like a military general than a scribe, and his big thick eyes looked at the empty wine glass in his hand, and his voice was slightly deep.

When Cao Cao heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, his eyes flashed a trace of gloom, Yuan Shang's expansion of power made his original layout all disrupted, and the strategy set by several strategists for him must be overturned, and now he is only sitting on Yanzhou, although it is not dilapidated, but it also has a lot of limitations, Yuan Shang's successive troops have made the princes of the world unable to sit still, fighting on two fronts, one line of Hebei and four states, one side of the land of Guanzhong, Yuan Shang's ambition, as long as he is not a fool, can see it, because of this, Cao Cao was so impatient to march in a hurry to stop Yuan Shang's corrosion of Guanzhong.

"If Yuan Shang swallows Chang'an again, then send troops from Youzhou, and then draw a partial division from Chang'an, Jizhou will be completely encircled, Yuan Tan will be destroyed, how can Yanzhou be alone, the situation is more and more bad for us." Cheng Yu shook his head and said.

After drinking the remaining burning knife in Cao Cao's hand, Guo Jia's face began to turn bloody, and his slightly sickly eyes looked at Chang'an City faintly, and sighed: "This is not the most fatal. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia with a sick face and listened carefully.

"I was carefully checking the intelligence in Liangzhou a few days ago, analyzing it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion." Guo Jia stopped when he clicked.

"What conclusion?" Cao Cao seemed to have caught a clue, but he still asked.

Guo Jia's face was slightly gloomy, and he said gloomily: "Ma Teng may have lowered Yuan Shang." ”

"What?" Cheng Yu's face changed greatly, and he was more anxious than Cao Cao: "Didn't you also receive information that Ma Teng and Yuan Shang had turned their faces and were about to raise troops to fight for control of the Sanfu Land?" ”

Cao Cao's face was as silent as this weather, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao, sighed lightly, and continued: "We still underestimated Ma Teng, we always thought that this person was born in a martial arts and was not a big man, right now, this guy can lead Ma Jiajun to join Yuan Shang without hesitation, and this alone is much stronger than the capricious Han Sui." ”

Cheng Yu's thoughts rolled, his eyes sparkled, and he fell into deep thought.

"If Feng Xiao's prediction is correct, Dong Zhuo's desire to withdraw to Liangzhou is probably not so simple." Cao Cao touched the long beard on his chin and said in a deep voice.

"Yes"

Guo Jia nodded, his index finger took up a little rain, drew a few dots on the wooden board of the chariot, and said: "This Yuan Shang is young, but his appetite is huge, look at the silent arrangement of this drizzle." ”

"First of all, Youzhou, Yuan Tan and several coalition forces, I estimate that it will not be successful, at most it will be a defeat for both sides, as long as he does not lose the territory, Yuan Shang will not lose, and Guanzhong enters the border of Liangzhou, the Ma family army should have been in strict formation, just waiting for Dong Zhuo to come in, the victory or defeat is not easy to say, as for Chang'an, the undercurrent is surging, this is what really makes Yuan Shang not sure, this guy did not hesitate to personally lead the army to come, three-handed preparation, ordinary strength, want to support a battle is a little difficult, This Yuan Shang is not afraid of death to hold up three points, I don't know if Lu Dao has no one in his eyes, or he already has a certainty of victory in his heart, this point has to be carefully considered. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows tightened, as Guo Jia said, he was also very curious, since Yuan Shang dared to start three battles at the same time, whether he already had the confidence to win, which was very important to Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
