At this time, Wei Ping had already fled and dried up, and Zhao Tong and Guan Suo also opened the east gate to see Zhao Yun and Mei Changsheng.

Luoyang Tianlu Palace——

The news of Cao Zhen's defeat came again, Cao Rong was so shocked that the crown fell to the ground, and regardless of the time it was evening, the order was set up, and the ministers discussed it one after another, but they couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

Chen Qun said, "Zhuge uses table tennis, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, I'm afraid only Sima Zhongda can be defeated."

Cao Rong said, "It's just that General Sima is still in Shouchun, and although Dongwu has retreated, he is watching the tiger and refuses to quit, how can he evacuate?"

Jiang Ji said, "Cao Xiaolie has the talent of a general, and the tiger and leopard cavalry is the elite of our army, and the first emperor called it a 'thousand miles of horses', so it is better to be transferred to Shouchun Town to guard."

Cao Rong was relieved at this time, and hurriedly issued an edict, ordering Cao Xiu to be the general of the expedition to the east, leading the Yangzhou pastor, to Shouchun to replace Sima Yi, Sima Yi was the general of the expedition to the west, and immediately went to Chang'an to resist the Shu army.

Dong Zhao came out and said, "Chang'an's table tennis power is insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to harvest it for a long time, Jingzhou Guan Yu is ready to move, Wanluo-belt table tennis force does not dare to mobilize, only Hebei table tennis horses can still be transferred to the present, I hope Your Majesty will prepare early."

Cao Rong frowned and said, "Hebei is adjusting table tennis to Chang'an, but I'm afraid that the time will be too long."

Taifu Zhongxuan said, "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if General Sima has the ability to reach the sky, if there is no table tennis in hand, I am afraid it will be useless, and I can only mobilize Hebei's table tennis power."

Cao Rong was helpless, realizing that the situation was serious, and the table tennis horses in Beijing were transferred twice, and they had already been emptied, so they could only let Chen Jiao and Man Pet go to Hebei with the holy decree to adjust the table tennis.

Zhuge Liang was helping the wind to adjust the table tennis, and the rear army reported that Li Qiang and Han Bin came with two people to help the table tennis, and the two did not go out because of their training in the army, so they came as reinforcements, and Zhuge Liang let people pass it into the tent. No, when the two of them went to Zhuge Liang's big tent, after seeing the salute, Zhuge Liang said, "There is only Chang'an left in Yongzhou today, but the rest of the counties and counties should not be ignored, I am feeling that there is a shortage of manpower, and you two are here at the right time."

Ping Pong of the Meridian Valley

Li Qiang has fought with Mei Changsheng in the south since the martial arts competition, and it is better, but Han Bin is training in the military camp, and he is naturally happy to have a chance to meet this time, and immediately hugged his fists, "Although the prime minister commanded, he did not guarantee the completion of the task." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "That's right, now our army is stationed in Fufeng, there is a dragon army in the south, Jiang Wei also went to Xianyang, Li Qiang led the headquarters of the Ping Pong Horse to the north to pacify Chiyang, Wugong - belt, Han Bin led Ping Pong to Jingyang, Gao Ling - to bring the army, even if you can't take these places, you have to cut."

Cut off his connection with Chang'an, and don't let the rescuer go to Chang'an."

Li Qiang and Han Bin were eager for meritorious service, and they couldn't rest, so they immediately set off with table tennis.

After a short time, the sentry horse reported, "Cao Jun and Changsheng Sima Yi are rushing to Chang'an for the general of the expedition to the west."

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this, "If Sima Yi comes in person, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to take Chang'an. Cao Rong's transferable table tennis horses are only the table tennis horses of Hebei, and he is still ready to take Chang'an quickly."

Zhang Bao said, "In this case, I am willing to lead the table tennis horse to attack Chang'an."

Zhuge Liang said, "Chang'an is an important city in the west, but I am afraid that the defense is strong and it is not easy to attack."

Zhang Bao said loudly, "Prime minister, don't worry, I promise to take Chang'an."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Jiang Wei shouldn't be a problem when he took Xianyang, or he doesn't understand where Wei Yan's people are now."

This last number made Zhuge Liang feel constrained everywhere with Ping Pong, remembering that Mei Changsheng had asked the White Tiger to send a letter to Wei Yan, and said, "I will send you 50,000 Ping Pong horses to Chang'an, but you can't attack it, you have to wait for Jiang Wei and Mei Changsheng to come and discuss the city together."

Zhang Bao was overjoyed and hugged his fists, "Prime Minister rest assured, I will never advance lightly, and I will go ahead of my eldest brother when I arrive in Chang'an."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll immediately send a letter to the Xiaolong Department, asking him to send Ping Ping from Yicheng to Chang'an to support, and I will definitely take Chang'an before Sima Yi arrives."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Wei Yan looked at the open place under the mountain in front of him, it was foggy, but he could vaguely see Chengchi Village, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I've finally come out."

Deng Ai walked up to Wei Yan's side and said, "General, now that the situation is unclear, it is better to send someone to inquire about the news first, and then decide how to enter the table tennis."

Wei Yan nodded yes, sent the sentry horse down the mountain to inquire about the battle situation, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot.

It wasn't until the evening that the whistle horse returned, and after listening to the report, Wei Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, "It seems that our opportunity has arrived, and this trek is worth it."

Deng Ai pondered and said, "Since Yicheng, Fufeng, and Xianyang all have Ping Pong horses attacking Chang'an, Chang'an Shouping Ping Pong will definitely pay attention to the northwest direction, we are in the south, and we can advance from the southeast, and the Wei army will definitely not pay attention."

Wei Yan frowned and said, "It's just that the terrain in Chang'an is not familiar, and I am afraid that I will leak the news, or get lost and detour, but I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity."

Deng Ai said, "I used to be on an errand in Chang'an, and I understand that there is a mountain called Cuiping Mountain in the southeast of Chang'an, where you can camp table tennis horses, and we can take table tennis balls from the Qingni Pass, point to the mountain for trimming, and then depending on the situation."

Wei Yan smiled, "Fortunately, there are Shizai here, since you are most familiar with the terrain here, you will do as you say."

The table tennis horses rested, and when it was dark, Wei Yan, Deng Ai, and Shamo Ke took the table tennis to set off towards the Qingni Pass in the night.

At this time, it was autumn, it could be described as a high autumn atmosphere, just in time for the march, plus the moonlight was bright, even in the mountain road, there was no need to worry too much about obstacles, and the Wei army did not expect that there would be Shu Ping from here, and all the attention was focused on the three-way army coming from the west.

Arriving at Cuiping Mountain before dawn, Wei Yan looked at the hazy Chang'an City in the distance in the morning sun, and sighed, "Chang'an really has an imperial atmosphere, surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it is a city, and even Chengdu can't compare."

Deng Ai had already seen Chang'an, and he wasn't much surprised, at this moment he was thinking about how to take Chang'an as quickly as possible was the most important thing.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better to sneak two thousand horsemen into the city and join forces with the outside."

Wei Yan turned his head from emotion and looked at Deng Ai, "Two thousand? Now that the war in Chang'an is urgent, I am afraid that the investigation will be very strict, even if it is difficult to mix in two hundred people, how can two thousand people get in?"

Deng Ai said with a smile, "Although Chang'an is on alert, but all the west of Chang'an has been lost, naturally many refugees have fled and poured into Chang'an, which is the best opportunity."

Wei Yan was still a little worried, "It's just that there are too many of them, and I'm afraid of revealing clues."

Deng Ai plucked a blade of grass and rubbed it, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "This is simple, but the Shi Ping can be divided into several batches, and they can be mixed into the city from each gate, and three days should be enough, and then they will gather at a selected place in the city."

Wei Yan frowned and said, "This matter is very dangerous, so it's better to think carefully."

Deng Ai analyzed, "Now Chang'an is only afraid that the West Gate will not be able to pass, and the other three gates can still be passed.

Wei Yan was also a little moved, Bi Jing and those people were not many, and they didn't have siege equipment, so they couldn't think of a better way, so they said, "The stakes are very high, and you and I need to go to each other."

Deng Ai smiled, "Don't worry, general, Ai is willing to take on this important responsibility."

Wei Yan shook his head and said, "It's better for me to go, Bi Jing Chang'an is a heavy town, but I'm afraid there will be heavy ping-pong guards."

Deng Ai said with a smile, "The general has two reasons to argue, which shows that I am more suitable to enter the city than the general."

Wei Yan glared at Deng Ai, is there a reason for this kind of thing?

The current identities and situations of the two are similar, and they have a lot of experience in table tennis, and their martial arts are also better, from which point of view, they are more suitable, I don't believe that Deng Ai can tell any good reasons.

He crossed his arms and said, "Okay, let's take a look."

Deng Ai said, "The general rescued General Huang Lao in Changsha City in the past, and when Emperor Yingxian was stationed in Nanjun, he was known to the whole world, and later guarded Hanzhong for several years.

Wei Yan began to listen to Deng Ai praise himself, and he was still a little proud, but after hearing it, he was a little worried, he had a big red face, and this was not his fault!

Reaching out and touching his face, he asked with some reluctance, "What about another reason?"

Deng Ai replied, "Secondly, I have been in Chang'an, and I am more familiar with the terrain in the city, which is not comparable to that of a general."

Wei Yan was silent, snorted slightly for a long time, and said helplessly, "Since that's the case, then I'll let you go." Deng Ai understood that Wei Yan was not really angry, and comforted, "The general should not be discouraged, this matter needs to be combined with the outside to succeed, and the general is also responsible for being outside."

Planned for Chang'an

Wei Yan laughed, patted Deng Ai's shoulder and said, "Shi Zai Mo wants to comfort me, I still don't understand how important this matter is?" Okay, you hurry up and get ready."
