Chapter 48 Leading the troops to Xiangping

When the generals heard this, they immediately stood up, looked at the guards, and asked, "What emergency?" ”

"I just got the news that the Xiliang Iron Horse suddenly appeared in Cao Ying." The guard said.

Listening to the words of the guards, the generals changed color one after another.

"What?!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Hurry up and find out!"

"Investigate quickly, be sure to find out the news!"

For a while, the generals were in chaos.

At this time, Zhuge Liang walked out from the side and said to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet first. ”

"Prime Minister." When everyone saw Zhuge Liang walking out, they hurriedly shouted.

"Calm down, everybody." Zhuge Liang said.

The crowd shut up and stopped talking.

Zhuge Liang walked in front of Liu Bei and said, "Lord, this is news from Xiliang. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly stretched out his hand, took the letter, opened it, and quickly read it.

Soon, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he handed the letter to everyone, who opened the letter and read it, and when they saw what was written on the letter, everyone also showed shocked expressions.

"Prime Minister, this, is this true?" A general couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not sure, I'm just guessing." Liu Bei said.

"This, how is this possible, why did the Xiliang Army unite with Cao Cao?"

The soldiers frowned.

The letter said that the Xiliang army was here to help Cao Cao crusade against them, and if this was the case, then the situation of the battle would probably change drastically.

They are in Xishu, where is the power to resist the enemy?

"I don't think this letter is very credible." The strategist on the side said.

"We still can't judge the authenticity of this letter." Liu Bei said.

"My lord, this letter is indeed difficult to confirm." A general said in a deep voice: "Let's let people go and investigate." ”

"It's okay, it's a big deal, so it's better to be cautious." Liu Bei thought about it and nodded in agreement.

......

In the middle of the North Sea.

Cao Cao sat on the main seat, and Ma Chao and Ma Teng sat on either side, they were looking at the letter on the table, not knowing what they were thinking.

"General Ma Chao."

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and said to Ma Chao.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Ma Chao hurriedly clenched his fists and promised: "Prime Minister, please command." ”

"Since the situation described in that letter is exactly the same as what General Ma Chao speculated, can General Ma Chao have a way to solve this danger?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's simple, and the last general is willing to go out." Ma Chao said.

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded repeatedly.

There is a big movement on Sun Quan's side of Dongwu, so the problem must be solved well.

After all, the main battlefield this time is Xiangping, and the war is tight there, if Sun Quan makes small moves, he will have no time to take care of it.

Ma Chao is the head of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he went out of the horse, and it was just right to deal with the remnants of Eastern Wu.

"Good! Then I will ask General Ma Chao for this matter. ”

"Don't worry, the prime minister will not disgrace his life." Ma Chao arched his hand.

"Well, that's it, as for Xiangping, Cao Xuan, you lead the troops to attack, hoping to end the battle as soon as possible." Cao Cao said.

"No!"

Subsequently, Cao Cao asked people to arrange to set off.

Ma Chao and Ma Teng also withdrew from the big tent, and then left the barracks together and ran in the south direction.

......

Three days later.

Outside the city of Xiangping.

Cao Cao's army had already been stationed thirty miles away from Xiangping, and the camp was filled with tiger and leopard cavalry and rebels.

At this moment, Cao Xuan was waiting in the big tent for the return of the people who were exploring in front of him.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a soldier quickly entered the camp and reported the news.

"General, the spies came to report that there are traces of the Black Cavalry on Xiangping City, and there is no ambush in the surrounding cities."

When Cao Xuan heard this, his face showed joy, and he asked, "Since this is the case, it means that Liu Bei's troops are also within Xiangping." ”

"According to the spies, yes."

"That's good, as long as my army arrives in Xiangping, then, Liu Bei's death time will come!" Cao Xuan laughed.

"General, are we going to send troops now?" An adjutant general on the side asked.

"Leave now, the whole army is ready to go!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, Cao's army pulled out and headed towards Xiangping.

......

Xiangping, above the city wall.

Liu Bei stood on the city tower, looking to the west, as if waiting for something.

After a while, a figure on a tall horse with a black cloth draped behind him galloped from a distance.

"See the lord." This person came to the gate of the city, turned over and dismounted, and came to the man, he was Zhao Yun.

And he, Zhao Yun, went this time to find out the news of Xiliang Tieqi.

"Zhao Yun, how is the inquiry?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked.

"Lord Qiqi, I found out the news, Xiliang Tieqi did join forces with Cao Cao, but they seem to have gone to Eastern Wu." Zhao Yun replied.

"Really?" Liu Bei asked.

"Absolutely."

"If that's the case, the pressure on our side will be much less!" Liu Bei said.

"What are we going to do, my lord?" Zhao Yun asked.

Liu Bei thought for a moment, and then said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Xiliang Army, and if there is anything unusual, report it in time." ”

"My subordinates understand."

"Well, the order goes down, the Cao army and the righteous army have come, ready to defend against the enemy!" Liu Bei gave the order.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun responded.

......

Outside Xiangping City, Cao Cao's army was stationed, Cao Xuan stood in the camp, looked into the distance, and secretly thought to himself: "This crusade must be able to take Xiangping in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, it will be able to dominate the world and completely destroy Liu Bei's forces, so that there is only one Dongwu left, and there is no need to pay too much attention!" ”

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but show an excited look on his face.

At this time, Xu Chu, Xiahoudun and other generals also came to Cao Cao's tent one after another.

Cao Xuan looked at the generals and said, "This crusade against Liu Bei is up to you!" ”

"No!" A cadre of generals brushed the back of the road.

Subsequently, Cao Xuan said to the generals: "Now that Dongwu has been contained, we must strike while the iron is hot and take down Liu Bei, otherwise, let Liu Bei recover, then we will be in trouble." ”

"No!" A group of generals responded.

"Okay, generals, this time you must annihilate Liu Bei's army for me, so that we can completely destroy Xishu, and at that time, the world will fall into the hands of our Han family." Cao Xuan said excitedly.

Han ......

It's just a pretense, and when the world is unified, the world will be surnamed Cao!

All the generals were also excited and excited.

......

In the city of Xiangping.

"Report~!"

A soldier hurried in.

"Report to the city lord, Cao's army has attacked the city." The soldier said.

"Oh?"
