Cao Rong drove the expedition in person, and 400,000 troops sent to Jingzhou, and the news soon spread to Yiling. Wang Baoyu hurriedly convened everyone to discuss countermeasures, Cao Rong's number of soldiers and horses was so large, of course, it was necessary to pay enough attention.

"This battle is all started by me, and Weaving Gang apologizes to Baoyu and you first." Jia Zhigang conducted a self-examination with a solemn face.

"Scholar Jia doesn't have to mind, even if there is no such thing as Zhen Mi, then Cao Pi has always been at odds with me, and in his last words, he must have explained his son's crusade against Yiling. Therefore, this war cannot be avoided. Wang Baoyu said.

"I was about to beat him, but now I took the initiative to send it to the door, and I will definitely let Cao Rong return defeated." Mo Qianxun looked confident and excited, he had long been looking forward to fighting with Wei Guo again, and now the opportunity has come.

"In my opinion, Cao Rong has a large number of troops, and it must not be underestimated." Cai Wenji said.

"Lao Jia, what does Zhen Mi mean?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"Causing this war, Zhen Mi felt deeply guilty, and just wanted to save Cao Rong's life." Jia Zhigang said.

Needless to say, Wang Baoyu will not kill Cao Ei, that will really change history, besides, Cao Ei is the Son of Heaven, and he must have great luck, and it is not so easy to kill him.

At this moment, it is still mainly to retreat his troops, Wang Baoyu asked again: "Who is leading the troops to fight this time?" ”

"General Xu Huang and Cao Zhen." Mo Qianxun said.

"Alas, in the end, it's right with Xu Huang, this person's relationship with me is pretty good." Wang Baoyu sighed.

"Xu Huang is loyal to Cao Wei, the two armies will never take into account the old feelings in the battle, and Baoyu should not be merciful." Mo Qianxun reminded.

"Forget it, whoever cares!" Wang Baoyu nodded, and asked again: "Chihiro, have you come up with a good plan to deal with the enemy?" ”

"At present, Cao Ei's marching route has the intention of going straight to Yiling, I have three strategies, and I ask everyone to consider it together." Mo Qianxun said.

"Hehe, it seems that I have thought about it a long time ago, let's listen to it." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"The so-called best strategy is not to defend halfway, so that Cao Ei's army will directly attack Yiling, and the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, Nanjun, and Yiling will attack from three sides and trap Cao Ei's army; The so-called middle strategy can be fortified on the Han River, start a water battle with Cao Rong, and strive not to let him cross the river; The so-called next strategy is to let Cao Ei's army cross the river and start a big battle in Maicheng. Mo Qianxun said.

"Tai Lieutenant, these three strategies all have advantages and disadvantages, I don't know how to distinguish between the upper and lower ones?" Zhang Hong asked.

"The best strategy can wipe out Cao Ei's entire army, but Yiling may be in danger; If the central policy stalemate lasts for a long time, its crossing of the river will not go smoothly, and it will inevitably retreat; And the next policy, the two armies fought fiercely, and the victory or defeat was unknown. Mo Qianxun explained.

Mo Qianxun's three countermeasures don't sound perfect, of course, there is no perfect strategy, and on the battlefield, you have to adapt to the situation.

"Although the best policy is good, if Yiling is lost, it will be too late to regret it, I don't agree." Cai Wenji made her attitude clear.

"The medium policy is protracted, but I am afraid that the consumption will be too large and the variables will increase, and it needs to be considered." Jia Zhigang said.

Mo Qianxun was silent for a long time, and said: "Since this is the case, let's fight with one in Maicheng, if you can consume half of Cao Ei's soldiers and horses, you can attract them to Yiling, and then use the best strategy to ensure that Yiling is foolproof." ”

Wang Baoyu nodded in agreement, and asked Mo Qianxun to go to deploy immediately, and then, he followed Jia Zhigang to see Zhen Mi, after all, if he wanted to fight with Zhen Mi's son, he couldn't help but consider his mother's feelings.

After entering the house, Zhen Mi was wiping away tears, and his son brazenly raised troops and came to attack the city where his mother was, which made Zhen Mi psychologically difficult to accept for a while.

Seeing that Wang Baoyu was coming in person, Zhen Mi hurriedly wiped away her tears and reluctantly put on a smiling face. Wang Baoyu said bluntly: "Zhen Mi, we have been old friends for many years, it is better to say what is in your heart." ”

"Zhen Mi only learned today that Baoyu asked me to hide my face and walk, which is really a proper move." Zhen Mi self-examined.

"It's also my fault for this, if I had contacted Cao Ei earlier, maybe there wouldn't have been this war." Wang Baoyu said.

"Rong'er is so ruthless, but Zhen Mi never thought of it. Alas, how well-behaved I was back then, I ...... for it" Zhen Mi couldn't go on, shook her head slightly, the past was unbearable, and it was all bitter tears.

"He is now the emperor, if he doesn't do something, how can everyone be convinced, it is understandable. In fact, Cao Rong personally led the troops here, and most of them still had your mother in their hearts, but they were young and vigorous, and they couldn't turn around, so they did this. Wang Baoyu persuaded.

"Baoyu, thank you, it's just that you don't have children, how do you know that I feel sad in my heart."

Zhen Mi wiped her tears as she spoke, and Jia Zhigang hurriedly reminded: "Mi'er, why do you talk to Baoyu like this?" ”

Zhen Mi knew that she was speechless, so she hurriedly gave a salute, but Wang Baoyu sighed and said with a wry smile: "I used to be a son, and I thought for a long time that my mother didn't love me, so my mother broke her heart. Later, I often thought that if I had to go back in time, I wouldn't have done it, hehe, time has really gone back, but too much has passed and I can't find the original intention. ”

Zhen Mi couldn't understand Wang Baoyu's words, but looking at the tears in his eyes, he still couldn't bear it: "I don't want to arouse Baoyu's sadness." ”

"Zhen Mi, as the so-called love is deep and hateful, sometimes young people can't tell which side their feelings are inclined to. Believe me, Cao Rong will figure it out one day, and your mother and son will also recognize each other one day. Wang Baoyu said in a firm tone.

Hearing Wang Baoyu say this, Zhen Mi's face was a little more relieved, and after hesitating for a while, he still bowed down and said: "I was rescued by Baoyu, and now I am in Yiling, this is my hometown. ”

"I just want to sue you in person, don't worry, no matter what Cheng dù hits, we won't let Cao Yi hurt." Wang Baoyu said.

"Zhen Mi thanked Baoyu for his great kindness."

Since it was decided to fight with Cao Ei in Maicheng, Mo Qianxun immediately sent 100,000 soldiers and horses from Nanjun to come, along with the general Han Zikui.

At the same time, Mo Qianxun sent a message to Xiangfan's guard Tian Ye, asking him to prepare 50,000 soldiers and horses, and wait for the war to be dispatched at any time.

Fan Jinqiang led 30,000 elite soldiers in Yiling and rushed to Maicheng first, preparing strategic materials to defend the city and meet Cao Ei's army.

The autumn breeze was cool, and Cao Rong led an army of 400,000 and went straight to Yiling. Along the way, Cao Rong also had a strange feeling, that is, freedom, the world is so big, it is countless times stronger than the imprisoned palace, which is also the helplessness of the Son of Heaven.

When they arrived at the bank of the Han River, Cao Rong ordered the army to stop and let the tanma go to check the situation on the other side.

"Back to the Holy Place, there is not a single soldier in Jingzhou on the south bank." Horse Exploration returns.
