Speaking of which, this idea was first put forward by Zhuge Liang, but Sima Yi didn't understand the depths, so he agreed on the spot on behalf of Cao Pi.

It has to be said that it is really beneficial to obtain the right to continue trading on the canal.

After all, although Qingxu is the largest grain growing area, there are no chambers of commerce in Yanzhou and Yangzhou, and the people here can only exchange food for money or ore, so as to hoard enough food for the winter.

The canal in the territory can not only promote the rapid development of commerce between the two places, but also make it quickly integrate with the business circles of Qingdao and Xu, which is mutually beneficial.

And that's just one aspect, as for the second······ It's a covert operation now.

The reason why Xi Yu requires all merchant ships to wear seals is to prevent the garrison in the territory from conducting large-scale inspections, at the very least, they will not carefully inspect every ship and every corner.

As long as the ship arrives at the port, they glance at it, and after reading the seal, they will not ask too much and let it unload its own cargo, in such a situation, the ship is mixed with snakes and dragons, and it is not a big problem for the white riders to hide even if they are disguised.

Of course, they are not stupid, they will not stay on one ship in a bunch, so the goal is too big.

Therefore, it was broken into parts, dispersed into ten waves or even more ships, and went down the river along Hefei, all the way to Yanzhou, and then took the shortest time to reach the vicinity of Luoyang.

As far as Cao Pi's current situation is concerned, there are only two ways to go, one is to rebuild Luoyang, but judging from the economic situation in their territory, I am afraid that they cannot afford to spend such a large amount of money.

After all, the severance pay given to the Qingzhou soldiers at the beginning was still made up by him with great difficulty and his clan relatives.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he Cao Pizhen can't get any money at all, but he thinks that instead of spending money on meaningless things like building Luoyang, it is better to do something other constructive.

For example, the development of internal affairs and national strength.

Since he couldn't build Luoyang, but he agreed to Xiyu, Cao Pi, who was helpless, could only choose the second way - to Chang'an!

As early as a few years ago, after Chang'an was captured, he immediately dealt with Li Xuan, thus consolidating the clan and laying a solid mass foundation for himself.

In addition, Zhong Xuan, a person loyal to the Son of Heaven, also has a good impression of the Cao family, and many of his cronies are also in Chang'an, which is also a good thing for him.

After all, Zhong Xuan had already prepared a plan for where the Son of Heaven was and where he was.

Therefore, Chang'an City is equivalent to a palace that does not require money for Cao Pi, not only does he not need to spend time to repair, but even the clans in the territory are loyal to themselves and the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he is more willing to go to Chang'an than Luoyang!

Now, they have embarked on the road of moving the capital.

Halfway up the hill, Cao Pi looked at Luoyang, which was getting farther and farther away from him, and felt very uncomfortable.

In fact, I have lived in Luoyang for so long, and the surrounding areas have been repaired more or less, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang once was, but it has also reproduced a little of the glory of the big city.

It's a pity that even if the dusty gold shines again, there is no sun that can shine on it.

Once upon a time, Luoyang, the most prosperous and prosperous, finally covered up the brilliant edge in the long river of history.

I don't know······ Is it possible for it to regain its glory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the blade of the sword has been sharpened, and now Luoyang is just a short end, sooner or later, we will come back and regain its former glory!"

"Therefore, it is better for you to just take a look today, or hurry up and hurry, since you have decided to quietly transfer the Son of Heaven to Chang'an, then you must not make a fork on the way!"

His expression was indifferent, and his eyes were cold and resolute.

For some reason, it was clear that this operation was quite secretive, but he just felt uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something would go wrong.

"What's wrong with me? The 30,000 troops involved in this operation are all clan relatives, and all of them have been secretly mobilized, even the commander of the army, Xiahou, has never noticed half of it, and naturally no one will find out and tell the truth, why should I be nervous······"

Cao Pi couldn't help comforting himself in his heart, but for some reason, his right eyelid was beating faster and faster, making him more and more flustered in his heart.

He even began to doubt his own abilities and doubts those clan uncles······

Speaking of which, his clan uncles are completely superior to him both on the battlefield and in handling internal affairs, and the most important thing is that even his reputation is a big difference between them.

This is also the main reason why he is willing to back down on the issue of drama.

After all, if you don't retreat and the drama is unstable, it is very likely that you will always look for your mistakes and troubles.

Now, on the other hand, he has been given some territory, so that he has something to do, but he has no time to pay attention to his movements.

For at least half a year, Xi Yu will focus on building the defense of the eastern city of Jizhou and dealing with internal affairs.

At this time, he chose to transfer the Son of Heaven to Chang'an, thinking that he would be able to hide it from everyone.

Speaking of which, Liu Xie's age is not young now, but even in the prime of life, there is still no trustworthy person around him.

Xi Yu didn't mention it for the time being, but said that his other uncle, Dong Cheng, had already been sent to an extremely remote county because of his father's death.

In the future, presumably even if he is sealed, the only way to go is to die in a place far away from Kyoto, which can be regarded as a reluctant end.

"What Wei Gong said is, let's hurry up, think we will be able to arrive near Chang'an in seven days, and the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City will definitely go out of the city to greet them, and I don't need to wait for me to announce to the world at that time, everyone will know where the Son of Heaven is."

Sima Yi followed behind Cao Pi and bowed slightly.

Since he came back from Xi Yu, he was secretly arranged by Cao Pi to participate in this matter, although he was a little surprised, but he still agreed with this matter in his heart.

After all, if it were him, he would do the same.

Not only can it stop the war, but it can also divert the attention of the drama, and the most important thing is that it can secretly transfer the Son of Heaven in a no-man's corner.

Speaking of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that I can only live under the fence in this life, even when I encounter danger, I can't get rid of this situation.

Now, if you want to escape, there is naturally no way.

"Well, let's go."

Cao Pi nodded, turned down the hill, and then he didn't know what he remembered, turned his head and frowned: "By the way, how are the preparations over there Zidan?" ”

Speaking of which, this is what he is most worried about at the moment.

Cao Zhen just lost the battle, and the person who was originally full of confidence was beaten by Huang Xu and doubted his life.

It is said that everyone is of the same age, and they are all the leading young talents in their respective camps, but when they obviously have many times more soldiers and horses than the enemy under their hands, they stubbornly make the other party unable to raise their heads.

It's just a matter of being tricked, and even the entire army of 30,000 people lost their lives because of this, how can he cheer up?

Cao Pi saw his languishing appearance, so he did not transfer Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other clan generals, but handed over such an important matter to Cao Zhen along with the 30,000 army.

In addition to wanting to reduce the surveillance of spies from other camps, the purpose is also to give Cao Zhen another chance, so that he can mobilize his enthusiasm and even self-confidence through this incident.

In any case, Cao Zhen is the leader of the younger generation in his army, and if it is ruined, it will be a big blow to the army.

"It feels pretty good, I think Cao Zhen's current state is much better than before, it should be out of the previous blow, if the capital move goes smoothly this year, I think there will be no more war in the next two or three years."

"In this way, we also have time to develop internal affairs, presumably Cao Zhen will gradually forget his past failures with the loss of time, and everything will be fine!"

When Sima Yi said this, he not only looked relaxed on the surface, but even felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, after all, for him at the moment, although he had just suffered a defeat, the other party agreed to reconcile.

The key is to talk about this matter yourself!

He not only kept the peace in the territory, but also gave everyone enough respite and even time for development.

In this way, I believe that while promoting the development of internal affairs, there will also be a steady stream of newcomers to join the ranks of the army, and Cao Pi must not only use the people in the clan, but also increase the use of newcomers in the clan.

Speaking of which, now around Cao Pi, it seems that in addition to the Cao clan, there are not many cronies of the scholar clan who are really trusted by him, and their Sima family is one of them, and it is the most core part.

Of course, in addition to the Sima family, Chen Qun, Hua Xin, Zhong Xuan, and Cao Pi can also be regarded as treating each other differently.

And among this group of people, the one who has the best relationship with Sima Yi is Chen Qun.

The two were on the same page on many things, as if they had discussed it in advance.

Hearing him say that everything was ready, Cao Pi's uneasy heart was a little relaxed.

Then, the army continued to set off towards Chang'an City.

Until he was about to arrive at the official road of Chang'an City, Cao Zhen stopped the advance of the army.

During this time, he was always like a frightened bird, suspicious.

The reason for stopping the army at the moment is only because it feels like the forest in the distance is too quiet, quiet······ It makes people panic······

He frowned, several scar marks still faintly visible on his face.

In just a few months, although the whip marks made by Cao Chun have been completely healed, the scars on the face are difficult to recover in a short period of time.

He couldn't find the slightest suspicious sign after looking at it for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, there is not much distance from Chang'an City right now.

Just pass through this forest, and soon you will be on the plain.

However, in the plain of dozens of miles, if there is any problem or attack along the way, the cavalry can rush to support in the fastest time.

Want to come······ There will be no more mistakes along the way······

Although he thought so, seeing that there was nothing wrong along the way, Cao Zhen always felt a little unreal.

The black and white rider's elusive shadow did not leave him a deep shadow, and he always felt that he didn't know when the black and white rider would suddenly appear in front of him.

However······

Cao Zhen felt that it was normal for the black riders to appear no matter where they appeared, after all, their main battle on the battlefield was an elusive and heroic one.

Unlike Bai Qi, especially Huang Xu's rabbit cub, whenever you think he will appear, he will not appear, but whenever you are sure that he will not appear, he will appear in front of you, which is really annoying.

"I hope this trip goes well!"

Cao Zhen took a deep breath, and his heart was quite uncalm at the moment, and he was even a little crazy.

Mainly because although he had a battle with Huang Xu last time, he had more than a dozen fights, so he was really scared.

However······

There is a good word that says, what to be afraid of.

Whenever you least want to see someone or do something, they will quickly come to your door and make you have to give in.

It's like now, there is a sudden movement in the grass that is relatively close!

"Damn, there really was an ambush!"

"Hurry up and be on alert, there is an enemy attack! Send someone to the mountains to have a look! ”

"General, this may not be an enemy attack! We only sent someone to inspect the surroundings in the morning, not to mention this forest, even the valley in the distance has not been spared, wherever it is possible to ambush the enemy, we have checked it several times, there will be absolutely no problem! ”

Just as he was commanding in a panic, a lieutenant calmly walked by.

This person he had known since he was a child, and he had personally selected him to join the operation.

Speaking of which, the authority that Cao Zhen got from Cao Pi this time is really not low.

Perhaps because the two sides have known each other since childhood, and Cao Pi has always regarded Cao Zhen as his next right-hand man over the years, so he has given him a great honor.

In this operation, not only the captain, but even the captain and even the Sima on the march were personally selected by Cao Zhen.

In the same way, these are the people he can get close to and trust!

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

Cao Zhen really wanted to point at the other party's nose and scold at this time, but when he thought that the other party was his friend in the army, he couldn't help it.

"Let's go and send someone to investigate first, General Ben would rather be meticulous than slack off, and there must be no half-point difference in this westward move!"

He spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of anger.

Because he still remembers Cao Cao's simple and clear evaluation of himself before his death: "As a general, don't be angry, anger will lose your mind, and you must face it calmly at any time." ”

The key is that Xi Zhicai conveyed it to him on his behalf.

Although he is not very willing in his heart, it is undeniable that this is indeed his biggest shortcoming.

Therefore, even if he is angry to death, he is also worried, but he always forces himself to be calm, to have a clear mind, and not to be impatient.

Therefore, even though he had just explored the surrounding environment half an hour ago, he still ordered someone to investigate it carefully.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this sentence always makes sense!

After all, I don't know how much snow has accumulated in the two forests in the distance, how thick it is, and I don't know how many unknown slopes and valleys there are below, it is very simple to ambush people.

It can be said that if you want to hinder your westward migration, this place is the best place to ambush.

With the advantage of the terrain, if the enemy really rushes out of the woods on both sides, it is almost equivalent to the high ground on both sides of the army is occupied by the enemy.

The most important thing is that if the opponent has a cavalry team, it will not take a moment to break up their formation!

Even if ······ There doesn't seem to be anything unusual at the moment······

It's just that he ignored one point, that is, the armor and equipment of the white horse!

The white rider may be very conspicuous in spring, summer and autumn, but in winter it is difficult to spot.

After all, it will snow in the winter in the north, and everywhere is covered with ice and snow, especially near Chang'ancheng, and the whole world has turned into a snow-white field.

Rao is a place like Luoyang, where the four seasons are like spring, will become snowy and covered in silver in winter, not to mention Chang'an, as the army advances, the air seems to gradually condense.

And this is just the convenience of the white horses, whether they are mounts, equipment, or even armor on their bodies, they can perfectly integrate with this piece of heaven and earth.

Even the spears and crossbows in their hands were made of snow-white sterling silver supplemented by other exotic metals or steels from outside the plug.

In addition, they deliberately hide their figures, and they are now even more hidden to the extreme, which is already suitable for the environment.

The most important thing is that because of the snow, they don't need to sweep the tail, and the goose feather snow perfectly covers the traces left by everyone, plus it is now the sunset, and the sky is already foggy, which plays an excellent cover for them.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Before a hundred patrolmen rushed into the forest, a few cold arrows put them in a lot.

Seeing the soldiers fall off their horses one by one, and fall to the ground like upside-down onions without breath, Cao Zhen was stupid.

Calm down? This fucking cool fart!

Didn't you see that the corpses of the hundred-man patrol team were all laid flat on the ground?

"Ah~~~"

Cao Zhen's face was full of madness, but there was no light in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, he didn't expect this kind of scene at the moment, and he didn't think about how to deal with such a thing at all.

Originally, it was just just a precaution to call someone to inspect, who would have thought that there was really an ambush on the other side, and he suddenly released a cold arrow.

Now that it is good, not only are the soldiers on patrol dead, but the enemy has also been blown out.

In an instant, a straight road suddenly appeared in the woods that had been covered with heavy snow, and although there were potholes and uneven in some places, it was nothing under the watering of the blood.

Immediately afterward, deep in the snow, melted by the blood, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Soon, Bai Qi, who was almost integrated with his surroundings, took the lead and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Huang Xu's handsome face looked at Cao Zhen extremely irritable.

"Hahaha, brothers, in order to save the Son of Heaven, kill!"

"Save the Son of Heaven! Kill! ”

With Huang Xu's order, the expression was extremely murderous, and thousands of white horsemen with cold faces bravely and fiercely killed Cao Zhen.

They straddled their horses and galloped wildly, while not forgetting to draw crossbows and shoot arrows.

The perfect combination of "shooting" and "royal" is self-evident who this typical combat posture comes from.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
