"A sign from heaven will happen." Cao Zhi said in surprise.

"Let's go back quickly, the prime minister will definitely look for me." Wang Baoyu hurriedly said, while hurrying back, on the way by the way, pinched his fingers and calculated, the hexagram was blurry, and he didn't see what corresponded.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Baoyu and Cao Zhi returned to the camp, the soldiers came to pass the word, and the prime minister asked the strategists to go over to discuss the matter together. Obviously, even for a person like Cao Cao who is not superstitious, such a strange scenery in the sky has to attract his attention.

Wang Baoyu and Cao Zhi were the last two to enter, and everyone inside was holding their breath and looking cautious, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Princesses, the stars of the world, what should I do?" Cao Cao asked.

"The stars are bright, and Bing should win a great victory here." Cheng Yu stepped forward.

Oh? Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and before he had time to be happy, Jia Xu put forward a different opinion: "No, there are clouds in ancient books, and famous people in the world all correspond to the stars, which must fall in the general." ”

"What general corresponds to such stars?" Xun Yu couldn't help asking.

Jia Xu pinched his fingers and said, "If you fall in our land, you must respond to our general." When Venus is in place, it should be a person with gold letters. ”

Everyone invariably remembered a person, Zhong Xuan, could it be said that Zhong Xuan had fallen? Cao Cao's head suddenly became bigger, and Zhong Xuan was an indispensable talent for him.

"My lord, no matter what happens, the westward expedition to Ma Chao will be successful." Xun You's words are very reasonable.

"Gongda's words are very good!" Cao Cao nodded, and finally asked Wang Baoyu: "Baoyu, since you know the way of a warlock, can you know who and what happens when the stars fall?" ”

Wang Baoyu didn't calculate it at all, thought about it, and said: "I agree with Mr. Jia's statement, it should be the fall of the general with gold letters." At the same time, there should also be one thing that should correspond, that is, Chang'an may have been lost. ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar, but Cao Cao still didn't believe it: "How could Chang'an be lost?" ”

"I can't help it if I don't believe it, just wait for news!" Wang Baoyu spread his hands and said.

"Do everyone think Baoyu's words are true?" One after another, a trace of uneasiness rose in Cao Cao's heart.

"Chang'an is as solid as a rock, how can it be lost lightly?"

"That's nonsense!"

"Even if Chang'an is in danger, it can withstand it for a few days, how can it be lost?"

"Besides, it's time for reinforcements to arrive."

Including Jia Xu, everyone expressed disdain for Wang Baoyu's remarks, which was simply unbelievable, and Huangkou Xiaoer's words were not credible.

Cao Cao saw that everyone's attitude was relatively consistent, so he nodded and ordered: "Tell all the soldiers to set off early tomorrow morning and rest again in Tongguan." ”

After the order was conveyed, Wang Baoyu and others said goodbye to Cao Cao and went back to sleep, lying on the bed, Wang Baoyu kept calculating what this vision corresponded to, but the meaning of the hexagram was not clear, and he couldn't see what corresponded to it at all.

In fact, not only Wang Baoyu, but Jia Xu and other warlocks also calculated again and again in their respective camps, but they did not get the final result.

Unless you reach the realm of hexagram ghosts and gods, you can really calculate the actions of heaven, just when everyone is speculating, in a cave in Hanzhong, Zuo Ci is annoyed, and keeps patting his thighs, just a little bit, the practice is successful.

Zuo Ci sighed and paced around the cave with his hands behind his back, You Heng had just lay down, and was so noisy that he sat up: "Yuan Fang, it's against the sky, aren't you afraid of heaven's curse?" ”

"Against the sky? What Zuo did was the way of heaven. Zuo Ci said politely.

"If the door of gods and ghosts is opened, won't the world be in chaos?" Thou hast said.

"Pedantic, I can't tell you." Zuo Ci waved his hand and frowned.

"Hmph, it's better to sleep upside down than to think about these things all day long!" You Heng lay down, pulled over the futon, covered his head and face, and fell asleep.

Zuo Ci looked up at the sky and made a calculation, and said to himself in confusion: "The streamer stops in Luoyang, and there must be strangers in the local area." ”

Early the next morning, the army immediately set off and headed straight for the direction of Tongguan. When it was close to noon, the messenger came in a panic to report that Cao Hong and Xu Huang were one step late, Chang'an had fallen into the hands of Ma Chao, and Zhong Xuan's younger brother Zhong Jin was unfavorable in the northwest, and was killed by Ma Chao's general Pang De, and now everyone has retreated to Tongguan!

In the end, Wang Baoyu said that Chang'an, which Cao Cao thought was unbreakable, was lost lightly, but fortunately, the person surnamed Zhong who fell was not Zhong Xuan, but his younger brother. Jia Xu and others were impressed by Wang Baoyu, and even Jia Xu was secretly changing his original strategy, since Wang Baoyu was so capable, if he could be used by Cao Pi, it would be like a tiger's wings, unstoppable.

"Why didn't Cao Hong and Xu Huang rob Chang'an?" Cao Cao said angrily.

"My subordinates don't know, but I heard that Ma Chao is very brave, and ten thousand people can't resist." The messenger said hurriedly.

"Hurry up and give the order, Zhong Xuan, Cao Hong, and Xu Huang must hold Tongguan, and when the army arrives, if Tongguan is lost, the head of the person will come to see me!" Cao Cao was furious.

The messenger didn't even have time to wash his face and drink his saliva, and went back to his horse to report the news. Cao Cao knew that the situation was strict, and urged the team to move forward quickly, if Tongguan was lost again, the Xiliang soldiers would be unstoppable and reach Xudu, and it would be too late to say anything.

Along the way, Cao Cao had a gloomy face, he didn't talk much, his brows furrowed into a big pimple, he couldn't understand how Chang'an was impregnable, how could Ma Chao be captured in such a short time?

Cao Cao squinted at Wang Baoyu beside him, he knew that he was a little special, and he really had some foresight, but now Cao Cao is more and more convinced of Wang Baoyu's calculation ability, and while urging the horse forward, he asked: "Baoyu, will Tongguan be lost?" ”

"Tongguan shouldn't be a big problem." Wang Baoyu said.

Cao Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't forget to find a step for himself, "I think so too." ”

Wang Baoyu sneered, and then said: "But Ma Chao's martial arts are strong, and it is not easy to win against him." ”

"Hmph, Ma Chao is a child, the old man will definitely capture him alive and let him lead the horse with shoes for the old man!" Cao Cao was furious.

Wang Baoyu smiled secretly, the idea was good, but the reality was very cruel, and Cao Cao's ambition to capture Ma Chao was not realized until his death. It is written very clearly in the history books that after Ma Chao's defeat, he first went to Zhang Lu, and then followed Liu Bei and became one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals.

Seeing that Wang Baoyu only smiled and didn't speak, Cao Cao also guessed what he meant, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he hurt his father and brother, but I am afraid that such a fierce general will not be used by himself for eternity.

The army rushed all the way, trekking through mountains and rivers, and finally came to Tongguan, the soldiers guarding the city saw that Cao Cao was coming, and hurriedly went out of the city to greet them, Cao Hong and Xu Huang were injured, it seems that they have fought with Ma Chao several times, and they have not taken advantage of it at all.
