After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather in the land of Guanzhong remains hot.

But compared to the hot weather, Cao Zhen's heart felt as if it was filled with countless ice cubes, and he felt cold to the bone.

Cao Zhen looked at the Wei generals who were urgently summoned by him below, and then looked at the newspapers piled up in front of the desk like a small mountain, and for a long time, Cao Zhen couldn't say a word.

The dense recitals on his case were all sent from various counties in Guanzhong.

Every song represents a city that betrayed the Great Wei and threw itself into the arms of the Great Han.

And looking at the dense number of those reports, everyone in the tent knows a ruthless and cruel fact - most of the counties in Guanzhong are reversed!

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Wei generals.

Most of the counties in Guanzhong have rebelled, so what do they do next?

Will you retreat, or will you continue to confront the Han army in Wuzhangyuan?

If the troops were to retreat, the Han army would definitely pursue them behind.

If they don't retreat, it won't be long before their grain routes will be attacked.

There is also the possibility of being caught between two sides.

The dilemma, the emotions of panic and fright, constantly lingered in the hearts of the Wei generals.

The atmosphere of the whole tent was very solemn, and it could even be called lifeless.

You Wei will feel as if whatever choice they make, they may put themselves in a very dangerous situation.

In this situation, no one can think of it to remain calm.

But at this moment, the entire military tent seemed very quiet, and none of the Wei generals took the initiative to make suggestions to Cao Zhen.

It's not that they're afraid of anything, it's that at this moment, they have already lost their six gods, and their hearts are in turmoil.

The mentality is completely broken, how can there be any suggestions?

All the Wei generals present could only look at Cao Zhen with a survival gaze.

They hoped that their great general, Cao Zhen, would be able to figure out a way out for themselves.

But in the face of such a dangerous situation, how could Cao Zhen come up with a good way in a hurry?

Cao Zhen only learned the news of Yang Biao's beheading a few days ago, and after learning the news, Cao Zhen immediately realized that something was wrong.

When Xiahou Yuan was ordered to conquer Ma Chao, Cao Zhen was in Xiahou Yuan's army.

Cao Zhen, who personally experienced the Battle of Liangzhou that year, is very clear about the temperament of the Kansai family.

The difference between the Kansai family and other regional families in the world is that there is a ruthlessness unique to military personnel flowing in their blood.

You must know that most of the ancestors of the Kansai family were the generals who followed Wei Huo and the two Tianjiao to conquer the Xiongnu a hundred years ago.

During the Battle of Liangzhou that year, even Xiahou Yuan's army did not dare to face Ma Chao directly, but the Kansai family dared.

For the Kansai family with such a temperament, it is absolutely impossible to force it too much.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause a big change.

It was precisely because of this worry in his heart that after Cao Zhen learned the news of Yang Biao's death, he hurriedly ordered someone to send a letter to Cao Ei, asking Cao Ei to send elite soldiers to the Guanzhong counties in time.

Only in this way can the worst-case scenario be effectively avoided.

But before Cao Zhen could send the watch for a long time, he received the news that Huaili had been captured by Su Ze.

And after learning the news, more bad news appeared in Cao Zhen's eyes like shoots breaking through the ground in spring.

It all happened so fast, so fast that Cao Zhen didn't have a chance to react.

Obviously, Cao Zhen has successfully blocked the Han army outside Wuzhang Plain, and it is clear that in two months, the winter in Guanzhong will come.

But all of a sudden, the situation between the Han and Wei armies in Guanzhong was directly reversed.

This made Cao Zhen feel a chill to the bones while being anxious.

Because of such a battle situation, Cao Zhen felt familiar.

It's like last year's Battle of Nanzheng - the Han army didn't make a move, and as soon as it shot, it was a lore!

With such a handiwork, Cao Zhen knows that only Mi Yang can do it.

But even if you guess that the current chaos in Guanzhong has an inseparable relationship with Mi Yang, what's the use?

For the current Wei army, it doesn't matter why it is here.

What matters is how they respond to it.

In the silence, Cao Zhen was holding a piece of information tightly in his hand.

This piece of information records the news of the fall of Huaili.

But Cao Zhen will still hold on to this information to this day and not let go, because there is one thing recorded in this information - Cao Gon, the king of Fufeng, was killed by the thief army and was exposed to the head of the city.

Compared with the loss of Huaili City, Cao Gon's tragic death hit Cao Zhen even more.

Yu Gong, Cao Gon was the prince and king of Great Wei, and his tragic death was a great harm to the prestige of Great Wei.

Yu Private, Cao Gon is Cao Zhen's younger brother, as an elder brother, he has a heavy army in his hands, but he can't protect his younger brother's safety, is he Cao Zhen worthy of the deceased Cao Cao?

Cao Zhen's red and swollen eyes at the moment announced a fact to all Wei generals - in the past few days, Cao Zhen had spent every day with tears on his face.

Facing the expectant gazes of the Wei generals, Cao Zhen wanted to open his mouth to appease their military hearts.

But after thinking about it, Cao Zhen only had a feeling of burning in his heart at this moment, and how could he have any clever plan to resolve the current danger of the Wei army.

Cao Zhen's silence made the Wei generals more and more frightened.

If Cao Zhen can't help it, then aren't they dead?

Under the panic in his heart, one of the Wei generals soon took the initiative to break the silence.

This Wei general is none other than Sun Li.

Sun Li got up and knelt down in front of Cao Zhen, and after kowtowing to Cao Zhen, Sun Li's face when he raised his head again was already full of pathos.

"This sincerity is in danger of survival.

General, our army is defending and retreating, and we must come up with a charter as soon as possible!

If it is delayed for a long time, the hearts of our army will only become more and more turbulent, and if the thieves suddenly send troops to launch a fierce attack on Wuzhangyuan when the morale of our army is exhausted, then our army will never return to the east. ”

Sun Li's words instantly resonated with the other Wei generals present.

After Sun Li's words fell, the other Wei generals all got up and came to Cao Zhen's body, and bowed to Cao Zhen like Sun Li's genius.

Although the words of the generals after visiting the shrine were not consistent, they all expressed the meaning of asking Cao Zhen to make a decision as soon as possible.

After all the Wei generals kowtowed to Cao Zhen, the entire military tent was quickly overwhelmed by the pleadings one after another.

I can't blame you Wei Jiang for being so eager, it's really that Cao Zhen's reaction today is too abnormal.

In the past, when he heard the bad news, although Cao Zhen would be angry, but after the anger, Cao Zhen would often come up with countermeasures.

But today's Cao Zhen is uncharacteristically uncharacteristically without any signs of anger.

In Cao Zhen's body, they only perceived a silence that was more mournful than dead.

This silence seemed to symbolize that Cao Zhen had given up struggling.

Compared with the explosion on the surface, this kind of explosion that starts from the depths of the heart is even more unacceptable to the Wei generals.

Looking at the group of uneasy Wei generals below, Cao Zhen couldn't help but cover his chest.

What's going on with this sign of the dead country?

He felt a mouthful of fishy, sweet blood rushing up from his chest and abdomen to his throat.

But in order not to further collapse the morale of the army, Cao Zhen swallowed this mouthful of fishy sweet blood again.

After swallowing the blood, Cao Zhen wanted to get up and support the kneeling Wei generals.

At the moment when Cao Zhen got up, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly opened, and then Liu Ye strode in from outside the tent.

Liu Ye's arrival was immediately noticed by Cao Zhen, who got up.

Seeing Liu Ye returning, Cao Zhen suddenly changed his target, and he walked towards Liu Ye quickly.

Before and after coming to Liu Ye, Cao Zhen grabbed Liu Ye's hands:

"Ziyang, do you have a plan to teach me?"

Cao Zhen's tone was not like an inquiry, but like a pleading.

Liu Ye, who was grabbed by both hands, looked at Cao Zhen with an expectant look in front of him, and then looked at the frightened Wei generals kneeling on the ground, and in a moment he knew what was going on in the tent.

In the face of Cao Zhen's expectant gaze, Liu Ye did not have the intention of dodging, which means that he does have a suggestion to offer in his heart.

"Our army must not retreat!"

Liu Ye directly expressed his views categorically.

After hearing Liu Ye's words, Cao Zhen couldn't help but hold Liu Ye's hands harder.

"Ask me!"

Under Cao Zhen's urging, Liu Ye did not delay, and he immediately spoke:

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that our army is about to be attacked from both sides, but in fact it is not."

Liu Ye's words not only made Cao Zhen's eyes light up, but also made all the Wei generals who were kneeling on the ground look up at Liu Ye one after another.

"The rebellion in most counties in Guanzhong is very unfavorable to our army, but Ye has been analyzing the military reports from various places in the past few days, and even rode a horse to the neighboring counties to investigate.

After many analyses and investigations, Ye found that the reason why those thieves were able to capture the county so quickly was because of their local influence on the one hand, and on the other hand, on the other hand, by the clan soldiers in their hands. ”

In other words, those anti-thieves do not have field elites in their hands.

The generals and generals also know that the combat effectiveness of the family soldiers is not strong, and there are not too many clan soldiers in each family.

It is true that when the county seat is captured, those families will join forces.

But once the county seat is captured, the first thing those families think about is to protect the land and the people, and wait for the thief army.

Unless there are special circumstances, they will not lead the troops out of their lair.

Under these two weaknesses of the enemy's intricate forces and scattered forces in various places, without a unified command, why should our army be afraid of them attacking the belly and back? ”

"According to Ye's prediction, even if they want to attack our army's food route, I'm afraid they will have more than enough strength but not enough strength."

"In terms of the actual situation, the real enemy of our army has always been just Mi Yang's army.

The reason why Mi Yang has been standing still for the past few days is that he is waiting for our army to withdraw.

Wuzhang Yuan is surrounded by flat land, once our army hastily withdraws, it will give Mi Yang an opportunity, and then our army will really fall into a desperate situation.

Therefore, our army must not withdraw rashly, and can only continue to defend Wuzhang Plain! ”

When Liu Ye finished speaking his opinion, Cao Zhen and the Wei generals showed some surprise on their faces.

It's just that there are still Wei generals who will raise objections soon.

"Although what the waiter said is reasonable, as long as Miyang's army does not retreat for a day, our army may always be in a situation where the enemy is on its back."

When this Wei general raised this objection, without waiting for the other Wei generals to echo it, Liu Ye immediately said:

"The lesser of two evils!

Our army has been holding on to Wuzhang Plain, although it seems to be risky, but it is also true for the thief army.

The thief army had smuggled into the upper reaches of Weishui several times before, trying to attack the camp on the north bank of Weishui, but those attacks were repelled by Guo Yongzhou.

From this point of view, Guo Yongzhou's previous proposal to divide the troops was correct.

Guo Yongzhou led the troops in the north, and our army was stationed in the south, which seemed to form a kind of flanking situation, so that the thief army could not cross the Wuzhang Plain with peace of mind.

And the thieves won't be able to hold out with us for long, and winter is only two months away!

As long as winter comes, the grain route of the thief army will definitely be disturbed by a large number of foreign races, how can the thief army not retreat at that time?

Compared with the thief army led by the thieves, the rebellion in the counties of Guanzhong was only a disease of scabies.

After the thief army retreats, the main force of our army can retreat and level them one by one! ”

After Liu Ye said the above words, he bowed to Cao Zhen cautiously and said:

"Has the general forgotten the Yanzhou Rebellion of that year?

The situation in Yanzhou back then was similar to that in Guanzhong today, but Emperor Wu was not in a hurry to recover the counties, but gave priority to repelling Lü Bu's army.

Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, our army is going to compete with the thief army for toughness! ”

In order to further convince Cao Zhen, Liu Ye couldn't help but bring up Cao Cao's case.

And after Liu Ye mentioned Cao Cao, the panic in the hearts of Cao Zhen and the Wei generals was receding little by little.

This is not to say that they all think that what Liu Ye said must be right, but compared to his own panic, Liu Ye at least proposed a strategy that seems to work.

As Liu Ye said, do they still have a choice at the moment?

After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Zhen finally chose to believe Liu Ye.

Cao Zhen let go of Liu Ye's hand, turned around and returned to the main seat, he glanced at the Wei generals below with his eyes, and then a command came out of his mouth:

"What the waiter said is reasonable, and he is determined to do everything according to what the waiter says.

After returning to the headquarters, you must do your best to appease the morale of the soldiers of the various departments.

From now on, if anyone dares to talk about the withdrawal of troops, they will not be spared! ”

Cao Zhen's majestic tone spread throughout the entire military tent in an instant.

And under Cao Zhen's majestic tone, all the Wei generals got up one after another and bowed to Cao Zhen and said:

"Yui!"

After receiving the order, the Wei generals left the military tent one after another to appease the army.

After the Wei generals left, Cao Zhen could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, and staggered and sat down in his seat.

Cao Zhen sat down and startled Liu Ye.

Liu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to Cao Zhen's side and asked with concern:

"General, take care of your health!"

In the face of Liu Ye's concern, a miserable smile appeared on Cao Zhen's face.

He raised the information in his hand that he had been holding tightly, and said to Liu Ye with a sob:

"I'm incompetent, I'm incompetent!

In the future, under the Nine Springs, the first emperor asked me why my brother was headless, and how should I answer? ”

As he spoke, because of the grief and indignation in his heart, Cao Zhen couldn't help but clench his fists and keep hitting the bookcase in front of him.

With Cao Zhen's gravity tapping, many of the newspapers that were originally placed on the bookcase gradually scattered on the ground.

The recitals scattered all over the place symbolize the current disintegration of Guanzhong, and in Cao Zhen's eyes, it makes him even more angry.

Because of his duty as a minister, Cao Zhen would not blame Cao Ei, and he also knew that if he was in Cao Ei's position, he would probably make the same decision as Cao Ei.

Seeing that Cao Zhen took the responsibility on himself, Liu Ye's eyes showed sadness.

Suddenly, Cao Zhen on the side held Liu Ye's hand again, and he asked:

"Mi Yang, will there be a follow-up?"

Cao Zhen's sudden inquiry caught Liu Ye off guard.

But after thinking about it carefully, Rao is Liu Ye, who has always been full of wisdom, and he can't give an answer to this question for a while.

With Mi Yang's means, will he only play the secret chess of the Kansai family?

If so, what will his follow-up be?

No tickets, no motivation
