Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Syllable!

Cao Cao threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "What! Not only lost Chang'an, but even Hanzhong, which was originally in the bag, was also lost! ”

"I'm so!" Cao Cao's eyes were wide open, and his thick beard was scattered, not angry and arrogant.

Originally, according to Guo Jia and Xun Yu's strategy, Ye Kai and Zhang Lu would fight to the death in order to compete for the empty city of Chang'an. At that time, Cao Cao and they will reap the benefits of the fishermen, not only to recover Chang'an, but also to take advantage of the situation to take Hanzhong, and even the entire Xiliang, and dominate the Central Plains. But this qiē was ruined by Ye Kai, and Cao Cao, who had suffered a loss, could only swallow the bitter fruit alone.

Among the ministers in the hall, no one dared to speak up. No one wanted to anger Cao Cao at this time. But someone has to step up.

"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and I am willing to punish the prime minister." Xun Yu walked out slowly, stood under the hall with a calm face, and bowed.

"No, what is wrong with Lord Xun, this strategy to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger was originally from me, and I should be punished if I want to be punished!" At this time, Guo Jia also stood up and bowed.

"Okay, you two don't fight, how can this strategy be implemented without my nod. Therefore, I am the first to be held accountable. However, Xun Yu, you are indeed derelict in your duties, as a strategist, shouldn't you give countermeasures at the first time. Tell me, what's next? To everyone's surprise, Cao Cao quickly calmed down, sat back in his position, looked at Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and spoke.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, thinking that they really didn't follow the wrong lord. This is the bearing that a hegemon should have.

"Now there is good news, and bad news. I don't know which one the prime minister wants to listen to first? Xun Yu said.

"Let's start with the good news."

"The good news is that the Holy Son did not choose to continue the eastward invasion, but instead turned south to attack Yizhou." Xun Yu said.

"Although Liu Zhang is mediocre and weak, his courtiers are not stupid, and the mountains and rivers of Shu are treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it were so easy to take, I would have sent troops a long time ago. Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and he groaned.

"Most of the Son's soldiers were Hun rangers who came with him from the steppe. The characteristic of this class is that it is very good at leveling the ground. But when it comes to attacking the city, it is a little inadequate. Therefore, there is a high probability that he will not be able to capture Yizhou and will return in vain. "Xun Yu is obviously very familiar with Ye Kai's situation.

"And what about the bad news?" Cao Cao nodded and spoke.

"The bad news is that if Yizhou is really captured by him by then, then he will have one point alone in the world. And in this case, he will never be satisfied with this. Therefore we must join forces with the other princes. Xun Yu replied.

"Is it really that far?" Cao Cao's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Yes, we have to prepare. It's good to take the initiative. Xun Yu replied seriously.

"Okay, this matter will be done by Xun Yu."

——————————————————————————————————

Yizhou is far from being comparable to Liangzhou, Liangzhou is only seven counties, and Yizhou has twenty-one counties, Hanzhong is only one of the counties, and the state county is located in Chengdu. It is also the destination of Ye Kai's trip.

As the army moved south, the mountains and rivers became steeper and the terrain became more rugged. Ye Kai broke through another county town, and this was already the third county town that Ye Kai had broken. Originally, Ye Kai handed over this matter to Zhang Lu. But when I thought that Zhang Lu couldn't even avenge himself for so many years, how could he capture Chengdu. Therefore, in the end, Ye Kai decided to go out in person, after all, there was not so much time for him to waste.

in the barracks.

The cars and horses in the previous sections are barely able to get through guò, but the rest of the journey is a bit choking. Ye Kai thought. Why hasn't the party come yet? At this moment, a soldier came to report.

"Report to the Lord, Chengdu is coming."

"Let him in." The corners of Ye Kai's mouth raised slightly, he really said Cao Cao. Cao Cao came.

"Yizhou envoy Zhang Song, meet the Holy Son!" A short man, led by a soldier, walked in. Bow and salute.

"This is Zhang Song? Sure enough, as written in the original book, the appearance is a little bad, no wonder Cao Apu will miss the perfect opportunity to enter Shu. ”

Ye Kai raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that Zhang Songqi was born with a sharp forehead, a stiff nose and exposed teeth, a short body of less than five feet, and his words were like a bronze bell.

Ye Kai looked at Zhang Song and said with a smile: "The road to Shu is rugged, and Your Excellency has come to work hard. ”

Zhang Song raised his head and looked at Ye Kai, a little shocked in his heart, because the man in front of him looked too young, and it was difficult to equate it with the rumored omnipotent holy son. However, Zhang Song soon recovered to normal, looked at Ye Kai and said: "On the orders of the Lord, although I go to the soup and the fire, I dare to resign." ”

Ye Kai asked casually: "What is the terroir in Shuzhong?" ”

Ye Kai did not directly ask Yang Song about the purpose of his trip, but chatted with him.

Zhang Song was not in a hurry to say the purpose, but also chatted with Ye Kai: "Shu is the West County, and the ancient name is Yizhou. The road has the danger of the Jinjiang River, and the land is even the hero of the Sword Pavilion. It was returned 208 miles and more than 30,000 miles. Chickens and dogs bark at each other, and the market is constantly buzzing. The fields are fertile and lush, and there is no worry about water and drought in the year; The country is rich and the people are rich, and there is orchestral music from time to time. The things produced are like mountains. There is no match in the world! ”

"Then you came here and are ready to give away this great land of Sichuan and Shu?" Ye Kai looked at Zhang Song and said with a playful smile.

was told the purpose by Ye Kai's words, Zhang Song sighed in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest, and he sneered: "How is it possible, the Holy Son said that he was joking, I came to negotiate peace for my lord." ”

"Oh, then, you can go back. There is no way I can accept peace. Ye Kai paused, looked at Zhang Song, and suddenly smiled again. You're really not the one leading the way? ”

Leading the way party?

Although Zhang Song had never heard of this term, it did not prevent him from understanding its meaning. He was furious in his heart when he was seen by Ye Kai, turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around again, walked in front of Ye Kai, raised his hands above the top, bowed and said: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Ye Kai looked at the map on Zhang Song's hands, and a bright smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Song lured the wolf into the room, fearing that the wolf would be inconvenient to swallow, so he even drew a map by hand, and reported the military secrets of Yizhou's terrain features, mountains and rivers, as well as weapons and treasury, troop deployment, and so on, to Ye Kai one by one. This is the example of the leading party.

"Good, good, good!" Ye Kai patted Zhang Song's shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Song raised his head and looked at Ye Kai, although he felt that the series of things that had just happened, it was a little too sudden, and he was a little confused. But the horror contained in Ye Kai's smile was clearly felt. He knew that Liu Zhang was going to be unlucky now, but this was exactly what he was looking forward to.

At the same time as he got the map, Ye Kai immediately gave the order to go down, and the army went straight to Xichuan. (To be continued......)
