Xiahou Nan tidied up his clothes and said dissatisfiedly: "I studied the art of war hard, just to defeat Liu Qi, a shame before the snow, why does the king still use his poems?" ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Zilin has learned the art of war, doesn't he know that he knows that he will win a hundred battles?" Since Liu Qi is the enemy, you should know its strengths and weaknesses before you can defeat it. ”

"The Great King Takami!" Xiahou Nan suddenly realized and said happily: "I will write this poem tomorrow and hang it on the wall as a self-encouragement." ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, always feeling that Xiahou Nan didn't seem to understand his deep meaning, but it was not good to dampen his enthusiasm, and he went to the case to look through the military book, and there was his "New Book of Mengde", and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Cao Zhen squinted at Xiahou Nan on the side: "Brother also reads "Mengde's New Book"? ”

Xiahou Nan secretly observed Cao Cao, and said: "This is the king's summary of the strategy of the wise men of the past dynasties, proficient in the mysteries, more than reading ten military books, such a book of great benefits, how can you miss it for your brother?" ”

Cao Zhen saw that he compared learning to a businessman, and he was disdainful, so he asked: "Although the Great King's Book of Soldiers covers a wide range of matters, it is extremely important, throughout the book, can my brother know?" ”

"Angry!" Xiahou Nan sorted out his messy hair and replied lightly: "The two armies will fight, if they are not excited, they will be clumsy, if they are clumsy, if they are not clumsy, and if they are not enough, they will lose; If you are not motivated, you will be intimidated, if you are not courageous, you will be defeated. ”

Cao Zhen's eyes were slightly cold: "What is the use of qi?" ”

Xiahou Nan replied calmly: "The army gathers the crowd, and the spirit is excited; The near enemy is in the vicinity, and the spirit is inspired; There is a period of war day, and it is necessary to cut off the air; Today's battle is in the ...... of Yanqi"

Cao Cao pretended to read the military book on the side, listening to the conversation between the two, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Mengde's New Book" is his proud work, and now seeing someone so respected, he feels more satisfied than entering the throne.

Cao Zhen asked a few more questions, even including the difficult questions he had asked Cao Cao before, Xiahou Nan could answer them fluently, blurted out without thinking, and finally sighed: "Sure enough, if you don't go for three days, you should be impressed!" ”

Cao Cao was satisfied, but his expression was very indifferent, and he stroked his beard and said: "Soldiers, treacherous ways!" The use of soldiers is important to respond to the situation on the spot, otherwise it is just talk on paper. Although Zilin can be familiar with the art of war, he can't stick to the rules and laugh generously. ”

Xiahou Nan hugged his fists and said: "The king can rest assured, the changes in the soldiers are not the same, the enemy is in the heart, and the opportunity is in the eyes." ”

This is also the middle of the military book, Cao Cao finally couldn't help it, stroked his beard and laughed: "You two are really unicorns, and you are a dragon son-in-law!" There are many talents, and there are successors, why am I afraid of Liu Qi and Sun Quan? ”

Xiahou Nan and Cao Zhen hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for the praise." ”

Cao Cao said: "Since you have already read the art of war, you should apply what you have learned. Now that the country is in a dilemma, it is the time to employ people, and in the future, I will be by my side and counsellor military aircraft. ”

Xiahou Nan has always been worried about Cao Cao's return to pursue the matter of Guanzhong, but he didn't expect him to mention it, and even have to take it with him, he couldn't help but be grateful, knelt down and bowed: "I have to be the king's ear to mention the face, although the liver and brain are smeared, I will not give up." ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "Get up, it's all a family, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

The next day, Cao Cao returned to Handan with Xiahou Nan, and held a civil and military meeting in the palace of Wei to discuss the crusade against Sun Liu and the recovery of the Central Plains.

Sima Lang admonished: "Sun Quan sent an envoy to sue for peace, and the war in Huainan subsided, Liu Qi will not dare to act rashly, and he must not use swords and soldiers." Today, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the army has been used for many years, and the people have been raised to seek a long-term strategy. ”

Cao Zhanglang said: "Liu Qi took advantage of his father's absence to sneak attack and take my territory, how can this revenge not be avenged?" Chang'an and Luoyang were obtained by Liu Qi, the hearts of the people in the world were shaken, and the children were not talented, and they were willing to lead a team of troops to kill Luoyang, capture Wei Yan and Ma Chao, and recapture Erjing. ”

Dong Zhaoyan said: "Now Liu Qi is a guest in Jiangdong, the two families are as harmonious as ever, if the Central Plains moves troops, I am afraid that Sun Quan will attack Huainan people and horses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of the beginning." ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "The blue eyes are capricious, and the heart of the jackal is even worse than Sun Ce, I will kill him sooner or later." ”

Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and other generals all advocated fighting, and the generals had just returned from the northern expedition, and their morale was flourishing, and the powerful Xianbei cavalry was wiped out in front of them, not to mention the Jiangnan soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao was uneasy since he learned that Liu Qi had gone to Jiangdong, and now that Liu Qi occupied half of the country, if he joined forces with Sun Quan, it would be very unfavorable to the situation of Wei.

Guan Yu is eyeing Yanzhou at any time if he does not send troops, and the Central Plains is in danger.

When he was hesitating, he reported that Cao Xiu had returned from Xuzhou, and there was an important military situation to report, and he was busy ordering someone to summon him for an audience.

Goodbye Cao Cao, Cao Xiu was also very excited, and said: "The king has returned to the dynasty, and the people of Xuzhou are all happy. ”

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Isn't it Sun Liu's discord?" ”

"It's not just discord, Liu Qi has turned against the customer, this is a shocking change!" Cao Xiu presented the secret letter of Sun Fu's brother and said: "Uncle got this letter, and he was supposed to send someone to discuss with the prince, but when he heard that the king had returned to the dynasty, he ordered the last general to rush to report the letter. ”

"Is that so?" Cao Cao was shocked, hurriedly opened the letter and read it, the shock on his face gradually turned into joy, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed: "God help me!" ”

The ministers below had already exploded, surrounding Cao Xiu to inquire about the news, and they were all shocked when they heard that Sun Quan appointed Liu Qi to take charge of Jiangdong.

Cao Cao read the letter again, and was about to give the order to send troops, when suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Could this be Liu Qi's trick?" ”

Then he spread the letter to everyone, asking everyone to brainstorm to see whether the Sun Fu brothers wanted to rebel within the country, whether it was true or false.

Dong Zhao looked at it and said: "With Sun Quan's temperament, there is a chance that Liu Qi will be nine times out of ten, although I don't know what happened in Ganlu Temple, now that Liu Qi is counteracting, there will be chaos in Jiangdong." The king can prepare troops and horses first, and order General Cao Ren to closely see the movements in Jiangdong, once Sun Fu and others raise troops, it is not too late to take Huainan with thunder! ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Gongyan is yes!" It's just that Guan Yu looks at the Central Plains, and I am afraid that Zhang Liao will be difficult to support alone, I want to go to Huainan to supervise the war, who can respond to Wenyuan? ”

Cao Zhen hugged his fists and said: "The child is willing to go!" ”

Xiahou Ba asked for an order: "My father was imprisoned in Luoyang, and the end will be difficult day and night, and I am willing to be the pioneer and capture Guan Yu to redeem my father." ”

Cao Zhang also said: "Guan Yu is old, there is no need to worry, the child is willing to dedicate his head to his command." ”

Cao Cao saw that several of his disciples were all in the hall to fight, like a fierce tiger, he couldn't help but be arrogant, and laughed: "Saiong lost his horse, is it a blessing to know it?" With the five of you, you will be able to set foot in the south of the Yangtze River and achieve a great cause. ”

Then Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou Nan were appointed as the five tiger generals of the Great Wei, and Cao Zhen was the general of Pingnan, and Xiahou Ba went to Yanzhou to respond to Zhang Liao.

Leave Cao Pi to guard Hebei, lead the army to Xuzhou to preside over the overall situation, if the Central Plains war is unfavorable, you can support at any time, once Jiangdong really has civil strife, there are Sun Fu and others as the internal response, you can go down to the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, capture Liu Qi, Sun Quan, the world will be decided.
