On the sixth day of the fifth month of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Xu Du.

The sky was overcast and there was some light rain.

Outside the city, an army of 40,000 was assembled and ready to go.

On the top of the city tower, Cao Cao and the Han Emperor Liu Xie, led hundreds of civil and military officials to march for Cao Bin.

At this moment, countless people in Xudu heard the wind and spontaneously came to the outside of the city to see off the team of the Southern Expedition.

"In accordance with His Majesty's will, this prime minister specially ordered Cao Bin, the general of the south, to lead 40,000 sons to conquer the thief Liu Xuande."

Standing on the city tower, Cao Cao said loudly: "I hope that General Zhengnan will live up to the emperor's favor and successfully recover the four counties of Jingnan." ”

The calm voice spread throughout the four fields, into the army below, and into the ears of the people outside the city.

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely kill the thief Liu Xuande and take the four counties of Jingnan!"

In front of the team, Cao Bin, dressed in military uniform, sat on a tall horse and replied loudly.

"Someone, give the talisman, the military flag!"

Then, Cao Cao shouted.

Immediately, a guard came up to the tower with a talisman and a military flag in his hand and came to the front of the army.

Cao Bin took the talisman, put it in his arms, and then opened the military flag.

The flag on the yellow background is embroidered with golden sun, moon and stars, symbolizing heaven and earth, and the hanging nine hangers flutter in the wind.

The flag is embroidered with black silk with a big word 'rebellion', which represents the official title of the army.

"The rebel army will win!"

Cao Bin waved the military flag and roared angrily.

The flag fluttered in the wind, the hunting sounded, and the word 'rebellion' came into everyone's eyes.

At the age of twelve, he led the army to the battle, the first person in ancient times.

At this moment, Cao Bin became the focus of attention.

"The rebel army will win!"

The 40,000 troops behind him roared at the same time, and the sound was mighty.

Even the people outside the city felt the determination to win and shouted along.

Under the city tower, Chen Yuzhu thoughtfully helped Cao Bin sort out his armor, fastened the big red cloak behind him, and his eyes were full of eyeless worry and tenderness.

"You must come back safely!"

In the end, the thousand words in Chen Yuzhu's heart only turned into a single advice, and his eyes were full of tears.

What merits, what victories, it doesn't matter to her.

All she cared about was that it was enough for him to come back safely.

"Don't worry, I'll be back safe."

Cao Bin held her soft wattle and nodded.

"After I leave, you look at the business house here, if there is anything, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the eldest father."

He smiled slightly, gently wiped the sparkle from the corners of her eyes, and advised: "By the way, remember to say hello to Grandma every day for me, and do your filial piety to her for me." ”

"yes, I see."

Chen Yuzhu nodded obediently, she gritted her silver teeth, picked up her feet, and plucked up the courage to kiss him on the face.

Then he blushed and buried his head in an instant, like a small quail.

"Alright, I'm leaving!"

Cao Bin smiled, reluctantly hugged her in his arms and kissed her, and whispered to her.

Then, he resolutely turned around and turned over on his horse.

"Rebel army, go!"

He raised his Overlord gun and shouted.

"Boom..."

The 40,000-strong army was like a torrent of steel, erupting with a loud bang, officially opening the road to the south.

Cao Cao, who was surrounded by hundreds of officials, looked at the scene below, and his heart was full of excitement.

The eldest grandson he had high hopes for will finally spread his wings and fly high, and the young tiger will start crying and set foot on the big stage that will change the world.

When it returns, it will return with a good reputation, which can be described as a blockbuster.

"May General Cao return triumphantly!"

"Big win!"

"Big win!"

Hundreds of people outside the city shouted and shouted, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

They are all using their own ways to express their blessings and expectations for the Southern Expeditionary Army and Cao Bin.

"Bin'er is so popular with the people?"

"Yes, some time ago, he punished the disciples of the family and avenged the people!"

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look sideways, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement.

I really didn't expect that his grandson would be so important in the hearts of the people.

Thinking of Cao Bin's actions when he met Chen Yuzhu before, he instantly understood.

The people have been disciples of the bitter family for a long time, and if it weren't for Cao Bin to stand up for them, they would still be in dire straits.

Therefore, after learning the news of his expedition, the people spontaneously came to see him off.

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

Thinking of the words that Cao Bin often put on his lips, Cao Cao couldn't help but suddenly realize.

Half a year.

During this southern expedition, he didn't see his grandson for about half a year.

"Fortunately, I can see Bin'er through the simulator."

"It's hard for this girl!"

Looking at Chen Yuzhu, who was staring at him stupidly and still hadn't looked back, Cao Cao couldn't help but clench his fists.

At least, he can still see Cao Bin's figure from the side through the daily simulation screen, which can be regarded as a comfort.

And his granddaughter-in-law can only suffer from lovesickness.

Cao Bin left, as if he had taken Chen Yuzhu's soul with him.

Looking at this girl's reluctant and reluctant appearance, Cao Cao was full of distress and helplessness.

So, he hurriedly asked her to come and let her accompany him back to the city.

"Daughter-in-law Sun, you must be worried about Bin'er, right?"

On the way, Cao Cao said with a smile: "The eldest father assures you that he will definitely return with a great victory, so you can rest assured." ”

He tried to be as confident as possible, hoping to reduce Chen Yuzhu's worries.

"Mmmm, Cao Lang will definitely return with a big victory."

When Chen Yuzhu heard this, he couldn't help but nod heavily, and his face gradually recovered.

But deep down in his eyes, that worry could not be resolved no matter what.

"If you feel that you miss him, you might as well come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to accompany his grandmother, and accompany your eldest father to eat at noon."

Seeing this, Cao Cao commanded helplessly.

"Before Cao Lang left, he also asked his granddaughter-in-law to accompany her father and grandmother more when she was free, and her granddaughter-in-law understood."

Chen Yuzhu nodded obediently and replied.

After the two talked for a while, they separated, and Chen Yuzhu returned to Cao's firm.

She put all her thoughts and worries into her busy work, hoping to resolve it with fatigue.

...

On the other side, Cao Bin had already led a 40,000-strong rebel army all the way south.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first.

If you wait until the army is officially dispatched and then bring food and grass baggage, it will only slow down the march.

Therefore, the grain and grass baggage set off early and arrived in Jingbei one step ahead of them.

The bombs of the '10,000 enemies' were carried by the soldiers themselves, and they did not dare to fake their hands on others.

The people who transported the grain and grass had never seen such a thing.

It's not a joke, if you're not careful, you'll have to blow up your bones.

During the three months of training for the rebels, they learned how to use and keep these secret weapons.

It is foolproof that it is carried by the soldiers themselves.

What's more, these 40,000 rebel troops are all cavalry troops.

Without the shackles of grain and grass, the army only brought three days' rations, and could rush to Jingbei as quickly as possible.

As an aside, thanks to the fact that two years ago, Lao Cao went on an expedition to Wuhuan, broke the Wuhuan alien race, and obtained countless cattle and sheep war horses.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to gather the war horses used by the 40,000 cavalry.

Soon, the army set out from Xudu in Yingchuan County, passed through Nanyang County, and reached Xiangyang County in the north of Jingzhou.

The Xiangyang guard general is one of the five good generals Lejin, after hearing the news, he personally greeted the arrival of Cao Bin's army.

The rebel army camp, the Chinese army's big tent.

"The last general is happy, I've seen the son!"

It was a short-looking little old man who looked unremarkable.

But Cao Bin didn't underestimate him at all, personally helped him up, and said with a smile: "General Le is polite, just call me Cao Bin." ”

Lejin this person, beheaded Yu Qiong, beheaded Yan Jing, took the lead in every battle, and repelled Guan Yu, and his combat achievements were outstanding.

Cao Bin can only be regarded as a novice on the battlefield, and he doesn't dare to be arrogant.

"Childe, the etiquette must not be abolished, and the last general will not dare."

Although Le Jin is far away in Xiangyang, he is clear about the affairs of Xu Du.

Although Cao Bin is a weak-crowned boy, he is deeply favored by the prime minister.

For him, the prime minister abolished the Bian family, banned Cao Pi, and banned Cao Zhi.

It also granted the right to lead the army to the south.

All kinds of actions show that the prime minister's heir candidate is the son Bin in front of him.

Facing the future heir of the lord, how dare he rely on the old and sell the old.

"Come on, come on, let's not be so polite, sit down and talk."

Cao Bin waved his hand and asked, "How many defenders are there in Xiangyang?" ”

Le Jin replied: "Hui Gongzi, there are a total of fifteen thousand foot soldiers. ”

"Fifteen thousand..."

Cao Bin nodded and said, "It should be enough." ”

Fifteen thousand men defending the city should be enough.

He was worried that when he went south to conquer the four counties of Jingnan, he would attract the attention of Sun Quan's side.

If Sun Quan's side sent troops to attack Jingbei, and Le Jin and Cao Ren couldn't hold it, they would have to be attacked on both sides.

"By the way, what about Gangneung, how many soldiers and horses are there?"

Thinking of this, Cao Bin asked again.

Gangneung is the seat of the county seat of Nanjun, which is garrisoned by Cao Ren and Xu Huang.

"Gangneung was garrisoned by Zixiao (Cao Ren) and Gongming (Xu Huang), who had a total of 25,000 men."

Hearing this, Le Jin spread out the map, pointed to Jiangling City above, and said to Cao Bin.

Jiangling is located at the junction of the three forces, with Liu Bei's forces to the south and Sun Quan's forces to the east.

It is the fortress place where Liu Bei and Sun Quan went north, so the number of soldiers and horses here is also more.

"Twenty-five thousand, that's enough."

When Cao Bin heard this, he thought about it for a while and said, "General Le inherited and garrisoned here, beware of Sun Quan crossing the river and going north." ”

"I inherited and led the army south, directly to Jingnan, and pointed at Liu Bei!"

The reason why he stayed in Xiangyang was because the grain, grass and baggage were all transported here.

After the soldiers replenished the food and grass, he was about to officially set out on the expedition.

"The last general wishes Gongzi a victory and a triumphant return!"

Hearing this, Le Jin stood up and said with his fists clenched.

Subsequently, the rebel army, which had had rested enough, set out from camp, and went straight to Gangneung in the south.

After a brief meeting with Cao Ren and Xu Huang at Gangneung City and the deployment of battle plans, the rebel army continued south.

Three days later, the army arrived at Xiaoling, outside the city of Gong'an, which had been renamed by Liu Bei.

As Liu Bei's lair, this place is naturally managed by him like an iron plate.

Cao Bin had just arrived a hundred miles away when Liu Bei got the news.

Inside the city, the people gathered.

Liu Bei, who was already forty-eight years old, sat on the main seat, and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others sat below.

"Cao Thief imprisoned His Majesty, abused his power and bullied the master, and his wolf ambition was clearly exposed."

After everyone gathered, Liu Bei wept slightly: "Now, Cao Thief has sent his grandson to lead the troops, and the soldiers have come to the city!" ”

"If you let it succeed, my Han country is in danger, what can you do to solve it?"

This person is good-looking, with big ears, arms over the knees, crying when he says he cries, and he is really an immortal hero.

"Brother, don't panic, the Cao thief actually uses a dime boy as a general, there is really no one available!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said vigorously.

"His grandmother's, this is clearly looking down on us!"

Zhang Fei was in a hurry, and scolded loudly when he heard the words.

"Yes, the minister heard that the little Cao thief was twelve years old, and he was a milky boy who had not dried up."

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said, "Cao Thief ordered him to lead the troops, which is obviously a gold-plated brush of qualifications!" ”

It's not that Zhuge Liang has no one in his eyes, if the person leading the troops is Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang Bu, Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Cao Hong, he may also treat it with caution.

But according to the news obtained by the spies, Cao Bin is only twelve years old, what can he do?

"Oh? Brushing qualifications, how do you say this? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he asked suspiciously.

"My lord, and the generals, listen to Liang carefully."

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "Cao Thief is fifty-four years old, and after the defeat of Chibi, he has no ambition to go south!" ”

"In Weichen's opinion, all his thoughts are on the choice of an heir."

"You must know that not everyone is interested in him, such as Xun or others who are dedicated to Han, and they are not in cahoots with Cao Thief!"

"He is already old, and if he cannot determine the heir, will this great inheritance not be lost?"

"Therefore, Wei Chen concluded that Cao Bin may be the heir chosen by Cao Thief."

"But this man is only a junior, how can he make his subordinates obey the public? Only the right to war! ”

"That's why Cao Thief ordered him to lead his army south, called the Southern Expedition, which is actually to gather military power!"

"According to Weichen's estimate, the little Cao thief will definitely attack the city in sheep, and after he can't break the city, he will flee in embarrassment!"

"When the time comes, although this thief has not made any military achievements, he will be able to successfully hold the military power in his hands."

"And Cao Thief can naturally make him the heir and complete the transition of power."

The analysis was reasonable, so that everyone present couldn't help but nod in approval.

"The military advisor is right, this unweaned thief must have come to gild."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he scolded: "His grandmother's, haven't we become a stepping stone for this thief to gather military power?" ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but be speechless.

Although I know that this is the truth, is it really good for you to say it so clearly?

When you say this, where does the lord's face go?

"In that case, then let's accompany him to play this scene!"

Liu Bei heard this, hidden? glanced at Zhang Fei, full of grievances.

He immediately said: "However, since this little thief is here, if you don't pay some price, don't think about leaving!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted.
