Qiao Daoqing did not shy away from it, so he took out a piece of rune paper from his sleeve, begged for paper and pen, and hurriedly wrote two lines of words, which read:

The eldest brother used soldiers and came to Luoyang quickly.

After writing, the ink was blown dry, and a strand of hair was wrapped in the rune paper, and he folded a butterfly in his hand, muttering in his mouth, and suddenly pointed to the butterfly and shouted: "Disease! ”

Then I saw the butterfly fluttering its wings, swaying and flying, and flew straight out of the house, and disappeared.

Cao Cao looked at it strangely and said: "I once saw Fan Rui use the method of 'Lingyan Transmission', but what he stacked was a swallow. ”

Qiao Daoqing said proudly: "The swallow is too ordinary, like my butterfly, how elegant." ”

Gongsun Sheng was unconvinced: "I knew that you gave me that man's beard, and I folded a dragon, you see, that is magnificent." ”

Qiao Daoqing was shocked: "But don't talk nonsense!" How to fold a dragon out of a small rune paper? I don't believe it, you fold it to me. ”

Gongsun Sheng immediately took out the rune paper, and the two of them hugged each other, squatting on the side and stacking the dragon.

Cao Cao said that they were comparing whose spells were skillful, and at this moment they saw that they were comparing the ability of origami, and they couldn't help but smile with everyone: "People outside the party are rare in their hearts." Let's just let them stack the dragons, and we will divide the troops and horses here, and everyone has a priority......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Laoqi's face full of eyebrows, and his heart was impetuous, Cao Cao Qi said: "Seventh prince, you also want to go with me?" ”

Zhao Laoqi hurriedly waved his hand: "I, I'm not going, I mean, brother, I'm going to see the Taoist elders ...... the dragon."

Cao Cao laughed: "Go, go." ”

Zhao Laoqi was overjoyed, walked quickly, squatted beside Gongsun Sheng, and looked bright, Zhao Lao Wu and Zhao Lao Liu glanced at each other, and quietly slipped away.

Zhao Kai, the king of the three sages, said angrily: "The imperial brother entrusted me with the counselor military aircraft, you are such a child's play? After listening to my brother finish talking about business, and then ask the Taoist chief to demonstrate how to break the dragon, can't you? ”

Liu Yanqing watched coldly, and secretly thought to himself: This prince has such a big heart! My Great Song Dynasty has not died so far, and it is really a strange talk in the world.

Lao Cao naturally didn't embarrass these playful princes, shook his head and smiled, pointed to the map and said, "Our soldiers must be divided into three ways!" The first way, out of Tongguan, expedition to Xingqing Mansion, plough the court to sweep the Lu, overturn the sect of the absolute worship, in order to show the majesty of the country! ”

In a word, everyone only felt that their bodies were numb and their hair stood on end.

Cao Cao said: "The second road is a partial division, after leaving Tongguan, cross the river to the north, go straight to Taiyuan, and do not make the Wushu and Lou Room merge." ”

The last finger refers to Luoyang: "The third road, stay here, if the Lou room arrives, take it outside, and protect the clan." It's these three lines of soldiers and horses, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Liu Yanqing got up angrily: "This kind of use of soldiers is a perfect match, and the strategy is peerless!" It is worthy of sweeping Wang Qing, Hirata Tiger, Zhen Jurchen, and Shou Yanyun's 'Wu Mengde'! ”

didn't say a word, first patted a string of horses, peeked at the corner of Lao Cao's mouth with a smile, and then said: "Three ways to use soldiers, the road is the key!" If you lose one way, you will collapse and the rest will be lost. In Liu's eyes, the first way is the career of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who are indomitable, only killing! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. This way of soldiers, out of the return, a blow, once successful, enough to last for a hundred years.

"The second road is Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan's career, one is to hold Taiyuan without losing, and the other is to echo the first army, the code is stubbornly defended, the attack should be decisive, yin and yang are combined, only in one heart."

Everyone nodded again, and their hearts were worthy of being old wars, and the level was still quite high. This Taiyuan defender needs to make a decision on the spot, and the heat is almost bad.

Liu Yanqing saw that everyone agreed, and he was also complacent, shook his head and said: "As for the third road, guarding Luoyang, it is Zhang Xun's career of Zhang Suiyang, but it is the simplest, there is nothing to think about, I am lonely and loyal, and I will die." ”

After that, he slapped his breastplate and said loudly: "Liu Yanqing of a certain family, at the age of fifteen, fought from his father Yongnian Gong, and has been nearly forty years so far. I only hate that my teeth are getting older, I can't go on expeditions, I hate my mediocre talents, I lack wisdom, I can't keep Taiyuan, I think about it, and I can sell it, only this is a loyal heart! ”

snapped his fists, stared at a pair of presbyopia, and looked at Cao Cao: "Wu Jiedu, Liu is the envoy of the three cities of Henan and the commander of Xuanfu, and today he asked to lead the Third Route Army to guard Luoyang. ”

Shi Bao was stunned, his heart was obedient and eastward, the general of the Great Song Dynasty really knew how to play!

You first analyze the purpose and needs of the three roads, the head is the way, and show your own qualifications, length and shortness, the history is clear, a generous statement, and what is the heart of loyalty, Lao Tzu thought that after saying this, he was going to fight with the Xixia people to die together, but you turned around, you want to stay here and not move!

He is not like Lin Chong and Hua Rong, he has been mixed with officialdom, he is a little patient, and he is not like Shi Wengong, he also knows some sophistication when he is a teacher, and he is not like Jiao Ting, although he has no face, he can't understand what Liu Yanqing said-

He is the big devil of Mingjiao, and with this surnamed Liu, it stands to reason that he has a lot of hatred.

So he laughed: "It's so powerful, it's really worthy of the general of the Western Army, and it's really commendable." However, Liu Dajiedu, the younger brother is timid, since you are so loyal and brave, it is better for the younger brother to guard Luoyang, you go to fight the Western Xia, wouldn't it complement each other? ”

Liu Yanqing was furious.

However, borrowing his courage, he didn't turn his face with Lao Cao's people, that is, he laughed: "The name of Shi Shuai shocks Jiangnan, if Nanli Shendao is timid, how can there be boldness in the world?" It's just that the old man thinks selfishly, the four characters of the Nanli Divine Knife, although everyone in the Central Plains knows it, the Western Xia people are afraid that they will turn a deaf ear, if Brother Shi is willing to go to the Western Xia and kill one or two kings, this is the first divine sword in the world! If it is in Luoyang, it is overkill. ”

The world's first magic sword!

Shi Bao's eyes moved, and he laughed: "But I'm kidding you!" The knife of a certain stone treasure was originally intended to be used in the Chinese side of the Ten Thousand Horse Army. I'm going to Western Xia Fa Vary City, hahahaha. ”

Yao Xing sneered: "It's good that you don't break it in Xixia." ”

Since Shi Bao saw Yao Xing, he has always raised eyebrows and eyes, but he knows that Lao Cao values him a lot, and he can't bear to say anything, but now when he sees him provocative, where can he bear it?

At the beginning, Tong Guan went to Muzhou, Shi Bao fled with injuries, and he was about to kill, but he was stopped by Yao Xing, not when the heroes of Liangshan came, the bones were already able to beat the drum, and at this moment, new hatred and old hatred surged up.

shouted: "Yao Xing! You don't have to be self-righteous, if Shi hadn't been injured at the beginning, you would have died for a long time! You say I'm folding in Western Xia? I don't think you even dare to go to Western Xia! ”

Yao Xing Huoran got up, hugged his fists and said: "'Wu Mengde', the last general will follow Tong Shuai, defeated in a hundred battles, the world doesn't know my heart, only that I, Yao Xing, am also a greedy person who is afraid of death, and I beg you not to miss the old evils, take me to Xixia, let the world see, Yao Xing is a hero!" ”

Shi Bao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Brother, take him there, the younger brother will compete with him, who can kill more Xixia dogs." ”

Liu Yanqing knew that Yao Xing was brave, but now that there was no one in front of the tent, he was about to entrap him, and he was suddenly in a hurry, looking at Cao Cao with eagerness in his eyes.

Cao Cao knew what he meant, but since a brave general like Yao Xing came to vote, how could he give it up?

frowned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai Liu Jiedu analyzed it and whipped into it, if you are not a person who knows the army, how can you say it?" However, it is not easy to defend the city, I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Luoyang? ”

Liu Yanqing hurriedly said: "We waited for more than 3,000 people from Bianliang, General Zhang Jun, and more than 1,000 Western troops under my command, in addition, I have mobilized people from surrounding states and counties in the past few days, and I have obtained 5,000 people, and I will make up 10,000 people." ”

Lao Cao shook his head and said: "There are too few people, although the Zhengzhou Jin soldiers may not call, but the holy car is here, how can it be ignored?" I will have 10,000 more soldiers with you, so that it is 20,000 horses, and then I will gather the young men of the city to defend it. ”

Zhao Kai was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "My brother is really loyal!" ”

Lin Chong and the others laughed secretly, and the 20,000 people of the state army had not been trained, so it was impossible to go on an expedition, and they had to defend the city.

Liu Yanqing hurriedly said: "Although there are enough soldiers and horses, you can't help without brave generals." ”

Cao Cao looked around everyone: "General Zhang Jun, how about you come to help Liu Jiedu guard Xijing?" ”

Zhang Jun frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide Wu Jiedu, hearing this, the last general breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was stunned." ”

Cao Cao knew his thoughts, and breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't have to go on an expedition to take risks, and if he was stunned, he couldn't go on an expedition to take risks.

smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but Qu Duan shouted first: "Just leave Brother Zhang here!" It's just that Qu wants to go to Western Xia, and Western Xia invaded my homeland, this revenge must be avenged, and I also ask Wu Jiedu to take it. ”

Wang Yan also said: "Brother Zhang is here, if Qu Duan and I have a good relationship, you will take care of the old and the young for us." Wu Jiedu, Wang also wanted to fight Western Xia, and begged to take it. ”

Lao Cao had listened to Qiao Daoqing's explanation of the battle situation in Bianliang before, and knew that these were all famous generals in the younger generation of the Western Army. ”

Liu Yanqing never got Yao Xing as he wished, but at this time, he couldn't help but hate Zhang Jun, so he had to swallow his anger.

And the next day, Li Zhubing arrived and was stationed in the west of the city, and he and Li Huai's uncle and nephew entered the city to see Cao Cao, and they were all very happy.

Speaking of the usual behavior, Li Zhu sighed: "I wanted to give the Jin people a ruthless one, but unexpectedly Bianliang fell, if the gold people were beaten, they would be cheaper than Liao Dog, and they were at a loss, and they received the Dao Qingfei book, and hurriedly came to see them." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Let's let them bite at home, the foolish brother is looking for you, but there is a big ......"

He told the strategy of destroying Western Xia, and Li Zhu listened to it, his face was red: "Brother! Good mind, good means! I'm riding an iron horse, and I'm about to meet the iron harrier! ”

Lao Cao said with a smile: "Your 20,000 people are the basics, this battle, the soldiers are not expensive, plus the more than 3,000 elites I brought back, it is enough to destroy Western Xia." ”

Lin Chongqi said: "Brother, there are more than 10,000 people in the state army, don't you bring it?" ”

Hu Sanniang suddenly said: "Your brother must use that army to go to Taiyuan." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged Hu Sanniang and said, "That's it!" My family's Sanniang has grown up a lot, and my martial arts family wants to produce a female marshal. ”

On April 20, Lao Cao entered the palace, bid farewell to his official brothers, left Liu Yanqing, Zhang Jun, and Ling Zhen to guard the city, and left Qiao Daoqing to help, and led 35,000 soldiers and horses to the west of the city.

After meandering for two days, Tongguan was in sight.

Lao Cao ordered to stop, and was about to send someone to close the negotiation, but when he saw a gap open in the gate, a young general, leading twenty or thirty knights to gallop out, stopped at an arrow, and shouted: "Where are you waiting, why did you come to Tongguan?" ”

Lao Cao was about to speak, but he heard Qu Duan shouting in surprise: "Liu Qi! You're not dead? ”

The general on the other side changed his expression, rubbed his eyes twice, looked at it fixedly, and laughed: "Brother Qu, Brother Wang, are you two okay?" ”

The horse galloped over, Wang Yan pointed and smiled: "Wu Jiedu, this person is called Liu Qi, that day the old Xianggong was defeated, it was the four of me who killed Bianliang, and then Liang Shicheng ordered me to wait out of the city to fight, he led the troops to attack behind the enemy, the Jurchen soldiers suddenly killed, and each other was killed, and I also said that he died!" ”

After saying that, he got off the horse and hugged Qu Duan and Liu Qi together.

Liu Qi smiled happily: "The younger brother was defeated before, and there was no way out, so he went to the west to join the small race, how did the brothers also come to Tongguan?" ”

Qu Duan sighed: "It's a long story, this is the Qingzhou Festival to make Wu Zhi, and take us into the customs, and see the small species of Xianggong, it's not too late to talk about it." ”

Liu Qi nodded again and again, but said with a bitter face: "The discipline of the small race is strict, and there are so many of you ......"

Cao Cao answered: "Don't worry, how can it make you embarrassed?" He stayed behind the army and stationed outside the pass, only accompanied by Shi Wengong, plus Qu Duan and Wang Yan, a total of four people, and followed Liu Qi into the pass.

Liu Qi led the four of them and went straight to see the prince of the small species, and after a while, he arrived at a stone house and ordered the guards to report.

After a while, three people came out of the stone house, and Liu Qi introduced: "This is the small race of the Jing and the Princess, this is the Jingzhao Hongnong Festival envoy Wang Wende, and this is the love of the small race of the prince Huang You." ”

Lao Cao saw at a glance, except for Huang You, who was about forty years old, the remaining two were veterans, wearing civil official uniforms in the center, about a small species, with gray hair, tired expression, and tall body, but they were as thin as skin and bones.

Lao Cao hugged his fists and said: "I have heard for a long time that the small species is slightly famous, and I have the fate to see it today." Wu Zhi, the envoy of the Qingzhou Festival, was ordered by the emperor to go out of Tongguan to beg for thieves. ”

"Out of Tongguan?" The fifty-year-old veteran shouted, his face full of surprise: "What is Tongguan?" Outside Tongguan, there are all summer dogs. ”

Lao Cao smiled: "If there is no summer dog, will I go out for sightseeing and see the scenery?" ”

The veteran said angrily: "Enxiang, do you think this guy is so rude? ”

Shi Wengong said coldly: "It's obvious that you are rude, your own family is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and you just say that we are the same?" You have to be glad that it was me who came today, and when my brother brought Jiao Ting, you were already asleep on the ground at the moment. ”

The veteran was furious, and he stepped forward to put it right, and the little seed shouted: "Stop! The veteran retreated angrily.

The little seed prince frowned and looked at Lao Cao: "Take care of your subordinates!" Although you are a festival envoy, Lao Wang is also a festival envoy, how dare you be rude to him? ”

Cao Cao raised his head and said lightly: "If I remember correctly, Wang Jiedu should have followed the old breed all the way, but now he has come here, I don't know where the old breed is here?" ”

The prince of the small species looked at him for a long time, and then said: "My brother was urgently summoned by the holy decree, fell into the tricks of the Liao soldiers, defeated the Yellow River, and was injured and sick. ”

Cao Cao listened, sighed slightly, and praised: "The old breed is worthy of the humerus of the Great Song Dynasty, at such an age, with such an injury, and such a situation, it is still difficult to face difficulties." ”

Hearing him speak like this, the face of the little kind of minister softened slightly: "The Lu of the king of the food should be loyal." What are you doing in Tongguan, are you looking for your brother, or are you looking for me? ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Didn't you just say it?" I'm going to go out of the customs to fight Western Xia. ”

Wang Wende sneered.
