Cao Zhen's face is withered, and his shape is erect. He leaned on the couch and watched Cao Zhi walk in quickly, but his face was in disbelief and ecstasy.

"Zijian, I didn't expect you to come."

"I can't think of it either." Cao Zhi waved his hand, took the edict from the guards behind him, and handed it to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen took it, but he didn't look at it, put it on the case, and gasped: "Uncle Zhao, help me up." ”

Cao Shuang looked at Cao Zhen in surprise: "Father ......"

"Quick, help me up, put on armor, beat the drum and gather the generals." Although Cao Zhen's aura was disordered, his power was undiminished. Cao Shuang didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Zhen up, and a guard next to him took his armor and helped him dress neatly. Cao Zhen had been ill for several months, and he had lost weight to a handful of bones, and as soon as this heavy armor came on, he felt a little unsteady on his feet. But he gritted his teeth, grabbed Cao Shuang's arm tightly, and insisted on refusing to let himself fall. It wasn't until he finished dressing that he slowly sat down on the edge of the couch, gasping for breath, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and soaking his robe.

Cao Zhi stood by and watched, silent, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.

With a rush of footsteps, the generals arrived one after another, and Wen Qin, the personal guard, came in to report: "General, you can raise the account." ”

"Okay, Zijian, please wait here."

"Okay." Cao Zhi still answered quietly.

Cao Zhen got up, Cao Shuang was just about to step forward to help him, Cao Zhen snorted, pushed Cao Shuang away, and walked out. Suddenly, he became energetic again, and every step was so solid and steady. When he appeared in the front account. He stopped and coughed.

"Uh-huh!"

This sound was like a muffled thunder, and the generals who had been talking to each other suddenly quieted down and looked at Cao Zhen in unison. Seeing Cao Zhen, who had been lying in bed, wearing a helmet and armor, pressing his sword and holding his hand, his eyes were blazing, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. After a short silence, the generals shouted in unison: "Congratulations on the general's recovery, please raise the general's account!" ”

Cao Zhen nodded and stepped forward slowly. but did not take his seat in the Lord's seat. Instead, he walked to the front of his seat, swept his majestic gaze across everyone's faces, and said word by word: "Today's account is raised, and there is a major event to inform you." ”

"Please command, General!" The generals held their breath. Staring at Cao Zhen's face. I'm afraid I'll miss a word. The war has been fought until now. It has entered a stalemate, and after the weather warms up, it is time to continue the attack. How to arrange, everyone hopes that Cao Zhen can give a clear instruction to end this unknown day.

"Please King Chen-" Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Raise the account!" ”

The generals were stunned, looked at each other, and could see surprise in each other's eyes.

Xiahou Ba was suspicious. Chen Wang? Why did he come to the front line, and he still had to be promoted to gather generals? Isn't General Cao at odds with King Chen, how can he put on such a big formation today, is it to give King Chen a dismount?

Chen Tai's eyebrows frowned slightly. He knew that King Chen had entered the court, but he didn't know that King Chen had come to Tongguan. Cao Zhen's health is not good, he can no longer be on the front line to command, the war in Tongguan is tense, and it is also very unfavorable for his sick body to recuperate, and the Son of Heaven will send someone to replace him as soon as possible. But sending King Chen to replace Cao Zhen was something he hadn't expected.

Chen Wang Ke is the target of Bixia's father and son's key prevention. Although King Chen failed to fight for the crown because of his debauchery back then, Chen Tai's identity certainly knew that there were many hidden secrets, and it was far from being as simple as behaving debauched. After all, it's just a cover-up. The real inside story is only known to a few people, and his father Chen Qun, as one of Cao Pi's four friends, knows the real reason.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Tai was surprised.

In the midst of everyone's speculation, Cao Zhi slowly walked out from behind the tent. As soon as he appeared at the door of the tent, Cao Zhen bowed down and said loudly: "Please King Chen to raise the tent!" ”

The generals did not dare to slack off, and shouted in unison: "Please King Chen!" ”

Cao Zhiju stepped into his seat, sat down on the seat of the main general, and held his thighs with both hands. The two tiger benlangs, one holding the order flag in one hand and the sword of the Son of Heaven in the other, stood behind him, their eyes did not squint, and they were majestic.

"The Son of Heaven heard that General Cao was seriously ill, and he sympathized with the minister, and there was an edict to allow General Cao to return to Luoyang to recuperate." Cao Zhi said unhurriedly: "This king is not talented, and he is ordered in danger, and I hope that the monarchs will put state affairs first and give more support." ”

The generals looked at each other and turned their gaze to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen sank his face and shouted: "There is the bixia edict and the sword of the Son of Heaven, if there is anyone who does not obey King Chen's orders, military law will be engaged." ”

When the generals heard this, they shouted in unison: "Follow King Chen's orders." ”

Cao Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "The king's first general order is, the general Cao Zhen ......"

Cao Zhen didn't think about it, and promised loudly: "The end will be!" ”

"I order you to guard the camp, and not to act rashly, and everything is as usual."

Cao Zhen hesitated for a moment and replied loudly.

"Pingxi General Xiahou Ba."

Xiahou Ba came out of the queue and promised loudly: "The end will be there." ”

"Capture the general Niu Jin."

Niu Jin came out of the queue and promised loudly: "The end will be!" ”

Cao Zhi named the names of more than a dozen generals in one breath, all of whom were the most warlike generals under Cao Zhen's command, with a total strength of about 20,000 people, which was eighty percent of Cao Zhen's current commanding force. Waiting for them to go out together, Cao Zhi stood up and said lightly: "Please prepare for the expedition, bring enough grain and grass for a month, and set off in three days." ”

"Whoa." Xiahouba and others responded violently.

"The rest of the people, follow the general and still stay in the camp, and after we set off, everything will be as usual in the camp, and there must be no changes."

The crowd will respond. Cao Zhen had already understood what Cao Zhi meant, and he also followed. Cao Zhi immediately announced the dissolution of the meeting, and the crowd dispersed, and Cao Zhen walked up to Cao Zhi, knelt on one leg, and raised his hands above his head.

"Your Highness, the last general is incompetent, and I will leave this important task to you."

"Zidan, there is no need to say these polite words again. The country is difficult, you and I work together, I hope to relieve Bixia's worries. ”

"When King Chen came out of the battle, he naturally succeeded." Cao Zhen sighed: "If King Chen led the army to conquer back then, where would my Great Wei be forced to this point by Shu Han......"

"Let him pass the past." Cao Zhi got up to help Cao Zhen and patted him on the shoulder: "Zidan, you can't die yet, for the sake of Dawei, hold on for a while." ”

Cao Zhen smiled, and there was some relief in his exhaustion, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden. "Zijian, don't worry, although I'm incompetent, it's okay to be a suspicious soldier. I will wait for your good news, and if necessary, I will take the lead and lead the stirrups for you. ”

Cao Zhi smiled slightly, patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Three days later, Cao Zhi led Xiahou Ba, Niu Jin and others, a total of more than 18,000 people, with a month's worth of grain and grass, and quietly left the Tongguan camp. He went all the way north, crossed the Fenshui, and came to the northern foot of Huanglong Mountain. It is already more than 300 miles away from the Tongguan battlefield, and then to the west, it will enter the place where the Hu people haunt, and the dangerous place on the Yellow River, Longmen, has also been left behind by them.

"Cross the river from here, cross the Huanglong Mountain, and enter the Guanzhong." Cao Zhi pointed with a horsewhip: "Zhao Yun is a cautious person, and he will not be uneasy and reject." However, they don't have any cavalry, and it won't be easy to stop us. This time, we don't need any tricks, we will fight the slow with the fast, and the weak with the strong, and from the moment we start to engage the enemy, we must go all out, leave no behind, and give them a clumsy trick. Xiahouba, Niu Jin, you are the vanguard, I will hand over all the cavalry to you, after entering Guanzhong, don't care where the main force is, attack at will, you are a sharp knife, you want to stab Guanzhong through the heart. ”

Xiahou Ba and Niu Jin glanced at each other, surprised and delighted. What is surprising is that this kind of trick is simply incredible, this is completely a hooligan and scoundrel's play, and he will be born after death. Happily, there are 3,000 cavalry among these 18,000 people, in addition to the cavalry led by Zhang He, Cao Wei's only formed cavalry, of which more than 1,000 are the Yulin cavalry brought by Cao Zhi from Wancheng, and the combat effectiveness is undoubtedly the strongest. Cao Zhi handed over these 3,000 people to them, and did not set any targets for them, and they did whatever they wanted, so no one in Guanzhong could really stop them. Maybe they will be defeated because of lack of food, but a month is enough time for them to beat Guanzhong to a pulp.

If Cao Zhi's tactics can succeed, there is no doubt that they will be the first to regain Guanzhong.

"Whoa." Xiahou Ba and Niu Jin were excited, and they responded loudly with excitement.

"Until then, you must recharge your energy as much as possible and conserve your strength." Cao Zhi handed a map to Xiahou Ba: "Hello haode study this map, this is the homework I did with Emperor Wu when I begged for horses, and there is also Emperor Wu's comments on it, you can take a look at it together." ”

"Your Highness." Xiahou Ba and Niu Jinbai fell to the ground.

……

Zhao Yun's face was pale, the hand holding the reins of the horse was clucking, and his snow-white beard was windless.

He had just received news yesterday that he had found traces of the Wei army three hundred miles away, and immediately led his army to arrive, but he was still a step late, and a cavalry of about 3,000 Wei troops broke through the guard post he had arranged at Huanglong Mountain a day earlier, entered Fengyi County, and marched along the west bank of the Yellow River.

It's unimaginably fast, and it's impossible to stop.

He had no cavalry, and the only few hundred guards were given to Prime Minister Zhuge by Ma Tan, and now there are only more than ten horsemen around him, and these people alone can't catch up with those ferocious Wei army iron cavalry. And he could also see that the purpose of these Wei iron cavalry was not to attack the city at all, but to harass them, and they didn't even have a definite combat goal.

These are outlaws, and outlaws are unreasonable and the most difficult to deal with.

Zhao Yun has fought all his life, has rich battlefield experience, and has a keen sense, and he smells danger from these only clues. He knew he could face a very tough opponent. Although he doesn't know who this person is yet.

Zhao Yun didn't dare to slack off, and sent the only knights around him out as quickly as possible, and respectively informed Wei Yan in Tongguan, Ma Yan in Chang'an, and Zhuge Liang in Tuntian, Wang County: The Wei army has entered Feng Yi...... (To be continued......)
