?

Cao Rui's hands trembled, looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and glanced at it: "Speak!" People's ultimatums are here, we must have an explanation, right? To fight or not to fight? ”

The crowd was silent. Cao Rui got angry when he saw it, and he usually talked about it endlessly, endlessly, and became dumb at the critical moment. Cao Rui said loudly: "General, you say!" ”

Cao Xiu said: "Your Majesty, Li Hui ......" He didn't say anything, because he had nothing to say, knowing that if he couldn't fight, he would be asking for his own death, and on this occasion he would say that if he didn't fight, he would surrender, and he couldn't say that he would lose the country.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Qun stood up: "The minister thinks that my Wei State is trapped in the Chinese Empire established by Li Hui, and there is no other way out everywhere, it is also in vain to continue fighting, it is better to negotiate peace with Li Hui!" ”

"Such a traitor seeking glory should be cut with a thousand knives!" Wang Lang pointed at Chen Qun and scolded loudly: "Your Majesty, the words of such people must not be believed, my Great Wei has been founded by Taizu, after three generations, and the ministers have worked hard, Your Majesty's labor has today's glory, if I give it to others, what face will I have to see the first emperor after death!" ”

There was a voice of compassion in the court, and some people cried like children, crying bitterly. Cao Rui was extremely annoyed, with anger on his face: "Cry, cry!" You know what to do but cry? Since you don't advocate peace talks, what do you say? What to do? ”

Wang Lang wiped his tears: "Your Majesty, my country still has an army of 300,000, sitting on the two states of Yongliang, even if he fights to the death with Li Hui, he must not surrender, Weichen is not talented, he is willing to lead the army with the general, with Weichen's three-inch tongue, he Li Hui bows his head and is a minister!" ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly said: "Wang Situ, the matter of fighting is not so simple as saying it with your mouth, we are now besieged by Li Hui on all sides, and the soldiers dare not fight, how can we make Li Hui bow down in a few words?" ”

Wang Lang said with a smile: "The world has its own axioms, no matter how arrogant he Li Hui is, he doesn't dare to violate the word axiom!" ”

"Hey!" Cao Rui sighed: "In that case, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!" Cao Xiu, order you to lead an army of 100,000 and go out with Wang Situ! ”

Since Cao Wei still wants to fight, of course Li Hui will accompany him. In August of the first year of China, Li Hui ordered Wei Yan, the general of Zhenzhong, to be the commander, and led 150,000 horses and horses of the First Military Region, starting from Bingzhou, and driving to Chang'an through Hedong, and at the same time ordered to conquer the northern general Zhang He, the western general Zhang Liao, and the southern general Yan Liang each sent 100,000 troops to surround Yongliang and Erzhou, ready to attack at any time, and take Cao Wei in one fell swoop.

Wei Yan's army met at Cao Xiu on the edge of the Yellow River. The two armies faced each other across the river and set up camps. Guan Hai said: "Marshal, now that our army is strong, why not kill the Yellow River and destroy Cao Xiu in one fell swoop, wouldn't Cao Rui surrender faster?" ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Don't worry, Yongliang Erzhou will be ours sooner or later, since Cao Rui wants to fight, we are just playing with him, so we don't need to be in a hurry to fight hard." ”

The next day, Cao Jun sent someone to deliver a letter. In the name of Situ Wang Lang, Wei Yan, the coach of the emperor ** team, was invited to cross the river to talk. Guan Hai said with a smile: "What is this Wang Lang, he even has to talk to the big marshal, I think it's better to kill it as soon as possible, in my judgment, the battle will be over before the year!" ”

"I don't think Cao Jun has any plan!" Pound said.

Wei Yan shook his head: "No, our hundreds of thousands of troops surround Cao Wei in the middle, even if he has any strategy, he can't use it, at most it's just a delaying tactic to delay time!" ”

"Then what's the matter with him, won't it be over just a call?" Guan Hai said.

Wei Yan shook his head: "You have seen the cat and mouse, first catch the mouse, not kill him, but let go, catch it, wait until the mouse is exhausted, and then bite it, so that you can have fun, now we are cats, and Cao Wei is the poor mouse!" The crowd laughed.

"However, we must not be too indulgent, I command!" Wei Yan said loudly: "General Guan Hai, order you to lead an army of 30,000 to cross the Yellow River from Puzhou and capture Feng Yi first; General Pang De, order you to lead 30,000 troops, cross the river from Hexi, go straight to the north, and then attack from the north and south, see that my side has won Cao Xiu, and immediately Chang'an! ”

"The last general commands!" Guan Hai and Pang De agreed, and set off with the whole army.

According to the agreed time and place, Wei Yan traveled lightly, left Sun Kang to garrison the camp, and led three hundred guards across the Yellow River to meet Cao Xiu and Wang Lang, and after greeting each other, Wang Lang directly asked Wei Yan: "I don't know what the reason is for the rash army to invade my border?" ”

"What do you say?" Wei Yan asked Wang Lang with a smile.

Wang Lang was furious: "Since the establishment of Taizu, my Great Wei has never provoked you, Li Hui has repeatedly 'forced' me to wait, and now there are large soldiers pressing the border, don't you know that my Great Wei is the orthodoxy of the world, conforming to the will of heaven and the people's heart Zen is located in the Han Dynasty, and should inherit the Great Han Dynasty and establish yourself as the emperor, so you are not afraid of being spurned by the people of the world?" ”

"Hahaha......" Wei Yan laughed: "As the saying goes, the world is for the virtuous to live, our Majesty is in peace with the will of heaven, obeys the will of the people, inherits the unification, what is the Cao family, 'force' to persecute the Han land, the name Han Xiang is really a Han thief, and the Son of Heaven is going to fight everywhere, if it weren't for my majesty to turn the tide, wouldn't a villain like the Cao family turn the sky upside down?" ”

"Bold puppet, at a young age, he actually spoke wildly!" Wang Lang scolded: "Li Hui was born as a beggar, and his subordinates are all idle and inactive, how can the three sects and nine streams do the world?" ”

Wei Yan said: "Three sects and nine streams? After the Cao family is a eunuch, although His Majesty is from a bad background, he is also thousands of times stronger than the eunuch! You are a Han minister, the Han family is in danger, you don't want to serve the country and share the worries for the Han Emperor, but after committing to the eunuchs, you help the eunuchs to abuse, like you are 'chaotic' into a thief, and you are a person who helps the people to abuse, how can you have the face to talk about the will of God and the people here with me, it is really shameful! ”

"Poof!" Wang Lang spurted out a mouthful of blood, shook twice on the horse, and fell to the ground. Wei Yan still had to ignore the unforgiving, and scolded loudly: "The 'chaotic' ministers and thieves are all punished, Cao Wei is gone, it seems that you and other clowns who jump off the beam also want to learn from others to turn the tide, but you really don't know the current affairs!" ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly dismounted and picked up Wang Lang. Wang Lang glared angrily, and Wei Yan gushed endlessly. Wang Lang's 'chest' continued to rise and fall, and before Wei Yan finished speaking, he spurted out another mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and died.

"Wang Situ! Wang Situ! Cao Xiu shouted twice, and when he saw that Wang Lang did not respond, he tried to snort again, and then he was sure that Wang Lang was dead.

Wei Yan laughed: "Cao Xiu! Go back and tell Cao Rui that those who know each other should surrender quickly, otherwise our army will enter Chang'an City and destroy the Cao clan! ”

"Retire! Retire ......! "The morale of the Cao army dropped to freezing point again after Wang Lang's death, and the soldiers had no heart to fight. Although Wei Yan only had a few hundred people behind him, he did not dare to attack rashly, and Cao Xiu gave an order, and tens of thousands of troops hurriedly retreated. After exiting for thirty miles, he set up a camp, and reported to Cao Rui on the other!
