Thinking that the young man behind him only led six thousand white horsemen to dare to make a surprise attack, he used the cutting-edge horse formation to gather into an arrow and break through Cao Pi's tens of thousands of troops.

At the same time, the cavalry on both sides were not idle, holding crossbows in their hands, and shooting several arrows in a row, killing all the surrounding enemy troops, and the stimulated war horses were even more frightened and scattered, making the Cao army camp even more chaotic.

Just one Huang Xu is already so brilliant, and I don't know ······ How many capable and righteous people are there under his uncle's hands······

"Wang Lung!"

"In!"

After Wang Lung was about to come and go, Huang Xu continued: "Open the map to find the most convenient route to go back, remember, the road we came to must not go!" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Lung nodded, then took out the map in his arms, and soon pointed to a road that had been marked for a long time but had never been walked and said in a loud voice: "General, look at this road, although you have to go through two checkpoints to go back, it is the most convenient road. ”

"Good!"

Huang Xu glanced at it and chuckled: "It's him, brothers, rush!" ”

······

Until the war was completely over, Cao Pi didn't figure out what was going on, could it be ······ Is there really a mole?

Just when he began to reflect on himself and even the entire army, Cao Zhen, who had finally mounted a war horse, also came back to his senses, and now that he was attacked by the white horsemen so easily in their territory, it was obvious that there was a mistake inside.

"Lord!"

He rode a war horse to Cao Pi's side, his eyes full of resentment.

Of course, he was more annoyed and angry, after all, this was not the first time he had lost to Huang Xu.

"This time, I'm defeated again, this damn Huang Xu is just a bastard! Just rely on the fact that he has a white horse as a backer, so he dares to act unscrupulously! ”

"How many white horsemen did you lead your army to kill?"

"This ······ Nearly a hundred. ”

After Cao Zhen finished speaking with a little embarrassment, a sergeant stepped forward to report, and he not only counted the specific number of white horse deaths, but also reported the captured war horses.

In addition, there are some things that make Cao Pi feel embarrassed when he hears it.

"Lord Qiqi, in addition to the one hundred and three corpses of the white horse, we have also seized nearly a hundred high-grade Dawan BMWs, and a few of them have run too far and have disappeared, but we have sent people to chase them."

"In addition to these, we have also captured hundreds of repeaters, and we don't know who modified these repeaters, not only the range is a lot farther, but even the strength has increased a lot."

"I have to admit that judging from our current military reserves and craftsman skills, it is almost impossible to create such top-level equipment!"

"Not only that, but the armor on those white horsemen is also very precious, and I don't know what metal it is forged from, not to mention the extremely strong defense, it is quite light and flexible to wear on the body, ······ flexible."

As he spoke, the sergeant's eyes were full of envy, and then, not knowing what he remembered, he suddenly calmed down, and was as silent as a child who had said the wrong thing.

It's just that he has said it to this point, how can Cao Pi not understand?

He didn't dare to make any guarantees at all, so he had to talk about other things, turned his head to look at Cao Zhen and said: "Zidan, you should know the importance of the Son of Heaven, I don't care what method you use, you must chase the Son of Heaven back in the shortest possible time!" ”

"You know, if the Son of Heaven is not in our hands, the people's will that has been accumulated will soon dissipate like smoke, and none of us want to have a good winter!"

"The most important thing is that the Son of Heaven has escaped, and I can only be a Duke of Wei if I die, and there will never be a day when I become king, you should know the seriousness of this matter."

Of course Cao Zhen knew.

Nowadays, everyone is a grasshopper on their bodies, only if Cao Pi is well and has power in his hands, can they, the people of the Cao clan, live well.

It's just ······ Everyone understands the truth, but what exactly should be done now? Now I have to chase Huang Xu by myself, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a shadow, right?

"I'm afraid it's not easy for General Cao Xiao to do this alone, although he can order martial law in the passes and cities in various places, and at the same time send troops to encircle and suppress him everywhere in the territory, but ······"

"A full 6,000 white horsemen is not something that tens of thousands of people can stop, and even ······ We won't be able to find them anytime soon······"

Sima Yi, who came at an unknown time, suddenly said: "The price paid for killing six thousand white horses is not small for us, and besides, if Xi Yu knew that something happened to the white horses, he would not stand by coldly, after all, Huang Xu is his righteous son!" ”

"Or maybe ······"

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, then he paused, and then said faintly: "We can use Huang Xu as a bargaining chip, as long as we catch him, we will ask for a 'ransom' from Xi Yu!" ”

Speaking of this, Sima Yi remembered the news that came some time ago.

It is said that in order to redeem Xu Chu, Xi Yu actually gave Liu Bei a full thirty stones of grain and grass, so it seems that this person has some morality, and he can barely be regarded as a reasonable person.

It's just that as soon as he said this to Cao Pi, he got an unbelievable look from the other party.

"Reasonable? Xi Yu is a reasonable person? ”

Cao Pi, who heard this evaluation, almost didn't laugh out loud.

In his opinion, if Xi Yu is reasonable, he is afraid that there will be no reasonable people in the whole world.

But Sima Yi didn't think so, after all, not to mention how high Xi Yu's personal force value was, just talking about the group of powerful generals around him, looking at it gave people a feeling of being breathless.

"Alas, lord, when you get along with the prince, it's better to be reasonable, if you don't be reasonable, I'm afraid that the group of five big and three rough soldiers under him will raise their hands and do it, and we won't be able to provoke it at that time."

"Chase first! As for the rest, we'll talk about it later! ”

Cao Pi's expression was gloomy, his whole face was blackened with grievances, uncomfortable, Sima Yi's words were the most uncomfortable words he had heard in his life, and it was also the reality that he was most powerless to change!

Thinking back then, when he was still young, he was just preached by Xi Yu, but now he has become the lord above 10,000 people, and he who has the power of life and death still has to be educated by Xi Yu.

Let's not mention anything else for the time being, let's just talk about the matter of being king, if there is no such thing as today, it must not be a few months before I can replace the Son of Heaven and become the only ruler of this heaven and earth.

This is not an exaggeration, after all, the land of the five states is in his own hands, and in the absence of any natural or man-made disasters, he can wait for the opportunity to inherit the unification logically.

But unfortunately, the destiny is unpredictable, as far as the current situation is concerned, let alone dominating the world, I am afraid that it will take him a lot of time to stabilize the morale of the army.

Nowadays······ What an eventful time······

"Wait for the arrangement as soon as possible, soldiers and horses, grain and grass, population, and the most important thing is the pacification of the people in the city······"

After pondering for a long time, Cao Pi took advantage of the fact that all the soldiers were quickly ordering some emergency measures.

Then, after all the generals left, his straight back collapsed instantly, and the whole person leaned on the carriage, his face was unprecedentedly ugly and melancholy.

Outside the carriage, there was heavy snowfall, and the cold wind was howling, even if the earth was dyed red with blood, becoming the only touch of heat between the heaven and the earth, the snow gradually turned into water and mist, and slowly steamed, but Cao Pi could not feel the slightest warmth.

He even felt that he was sitting in the carriage and his body was even colder than this world, especially his heart.

Obviously, there was a brazier in the car, and there was a thick layer of brocade silk on the place where he was sitting, but he just felt that he was so cold that he shivered.

The complexion is even more difficult to see the extreme.

Gradually, the army began to march, and the carriage shook gently, which made him look as if he had lost his soul.

"Someone, go and call Zhongda over!"

After a long time, Cao Pi raised his eyelids slightly and said in a deep voice.

"No!"

Sima Yi, who had been around the carriage and did not dare to leave, heard the edict and hurriedly trotted to the side of the carriage, ready to wait for the summons.

said it was a trot, but he was around him and didn't need it at all, he just walked in small steps.

After all, in ancient times, when you want to meet a king, a superior and other person who is more noble than yourself, you must use a trot to show your respect for the other party, which is just a kind of etiquette.

I have to say that Sima Yi always does a good job in these small aspects.

"Come in!"

"No!"

Sima Yi, who got the order, got into the carriage, bowed down and lifted the curtain and walked in······

"Zhongda, please take a seat!"

Cao Pi pointed to the futon opposite and spoke slowly.

Between Cao Pi and the futon, there is also a case, which is specially used to facilitate Cao Pi to deal with government affairs, but there is nothing on it at the moment.

The only cup of tea was still in his hand.

After all, in a carriage, even on a gentle road, there may not be bumps, and if you put tea on top of the table, it is likely to spill everywhere.

"My lord, I don't know ······ What are the commands? ”

Sima Yi's face was full of panic and apprehension, he had just come out with such a big matter, it was difficult for him to grasp the other party's mind now, if he was a little careless, it was very likely that his head would move!

"Zhongda, I asked you to come this time because I want to ask for advice on some things, you are older than me, and we have always been a teacher and friend, I want to hear your opinion."

"Bang!"

Sima Yi suddenly knelt on the ground, his head was about to hit the board, and his voice was even more infinitely humble and loyal: "Don't dare, don't dare, humiliation is afraid, how to talk about asking for advice, and ask the lord to speak up, and the humble duty will know everything!" ”

Seeing that he had a posture of bowing to death and dying, Cao Pi pulled the corners of his mouth, but still said lightly: "If the son has fled today, do you think I can forcibly become the emperor?" ”

"This ······ That's not going to work, my lord! ”

This time, Sima Yi's voice was much louder, and almost at the moment when the other party finished speaking, he shook his head in opposition without thinking about it.

"Lord, have you forgotten Yuan ······ Yuan Gong? Don't you say that being the emperor at this juncture means entering the throne, I'm afraid that you will usher in the shame and abuse of the world! ”

"Yuan Gong ······"

Cao Pi chewed these two words repeatedly in his mouth, and of course he would not forget this lesson from the past.

Back then, Yuan Gong thought that the destiny of heaven was coming, so he announced to the world and proclaimed himself emperor, but in less than a year, he announced the end of the matter with self-immolation.

The most important thing is that his self-immolation was still a strategy and battle formation personally arranged by his father Cao Cao, and finally Yuan Gongzi was besieged by all sides, and attacked it in groups, and in less than a month, he was defeated and had nowhere to escape.

Cao Pi even remembered that in the days when Yuan Gong was finally besieged, he was so anxious to ask for help everywhere, but it was a pity······ At that time, no one was willing to pull him out of the brink of collapse.

Not only that, but there are not many people who fall into the lower stones.

It seems······ It's hard to find!

"If that'······"

Cao Pi took the teacup in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then put the teacup heavily on the dark ferry with a "bang", and said fiercely: "Then at all costs, go all out to hunt down Huang Xu and others!" ”

"Remember, I don't care if they live or die, just a little, and I must not let them escape from the territory!"

"No!"

······

In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash, and Cao Pi also led his army to Chang'an to completely settle down.

Palaces, government offices, and mansions built here······ As long as it is a luxurious existence, almost all of them have been taken down by Cao Pi.

Anyway, this place is on its own territory, what do you want, what do you have, isn't it all your own words?

Moreover, even if Cao Pi, the lord, doesn't want these things, no one dares to accept them.

It can be seen that Cao Pi is still very prestigious in the local area.

This also shows that this place is still the safest place in Cao Pi's entire territory.

But in such a safe and stable rear, he sat on pins and needles every day, and his mind was restless.

In just three days, three officials died in Chang'an City, an average of one a day.

It's in the government office - no!

It should be said that it is in the palace, and it can be regarded as the first part.

In fact, the government office originally set up by Cao Pi was not a palace, because the Son of Heaven was still there at that time, even if he wanted to save face, he had to give the palace to Liu Xie.

But now it's different, the Son of Heaven has fled, what more palace do you need?

Therefore, he simply moved his government office in.

After all, a lot of money was spent on the construction of this magnificent palace, and it would be a pity that the Son of Heaven was not there, and he didn't use it himself.

It's a big deal to wait for the Son of Heaven to come back, and then let him out.

Anyway, he is now the veritable supreme power in the entire Cao Wei.

It's just that he, the Duke of Wei himself, who regards Chang'an as the capital, is still somewhat embarrassing and complicated in the realm of Chang'an.

The reason is simple, just because the three dead officials all happened after they entered the city!

But as the supreme power and even the head of the administrative organ, he couldn't find anything.

In just a few days, a succession of officials were killed in their homes for no apparent reason.

Not only that, but there were also thefts in the barracks.

It has only been a few days since they arrived in Chang'an City, and all the merchants in the city have closed their doors, and they dare not do business or run business anymore.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are still many owners of rice shops, even if they let the grain rot and have insects in the store, they are unwilling to open the door to make a living.

Soon, the hearts of the people in the entire Chang'an City fluctuated, and the ordinary people were also panicked in their hearts, not to mention going out to work, even if they stayed at home, there was an indescribable depression, which made people unable to eat and sleep.

For some reason, they just felt that since Cao Pi settled in the capital, the entire Chang'an City seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and they couldn't see the sun or the way out.

In the dark, many people even think that a natural disaster is about to fall here!

At the beginning, this idea just flashed in the minds of a few people, but I don't know when such an idea became a rumor and spread throughout Chang'an City!

Cao Pi couldn't hold it down even if he wanted to.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, he doesn't have so much energy to appease the people, after all······ He doesn't want to die yet!

Therefore, whether it is the palace or the government office, and even the vicinity of the prime minister's mansion where he lives, a large number of soldiers and horses are arranged to guard it, and a patrol team led by a full fifteen generals in the army is stationed here during the day to ensure that there will be no half-point difference.

Some high-ranking and high-ranking officials also followed suit, and placed a lot of guards around their mansions, and the presence of these people even seriously affected the arrangement and defense of soldiers and horses in the city.

In this way, their hearts were much more settled, but the people became more and more panicked.

Even the senior officials are in such a posture of being ready for battle, which obviously shows that the matter is not small.

They didn't know which gods in the sky they had angered or what kind of calamities they would be, but they knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with the wave of people who had just entered the city.

As the rumors intensified, Cao Pi was furious.

He was trapped in the palace and didn't dare to go out at all, and the people in the city were all in a mess because of the rumors, and they didn't know what the situation was in the army now.

Speaking of which, the reason why he surrounded so many soldiers and horses around the palace, government offices, and mansions was to dig traps and wait for the people behind the scenes to come to the net.

But who would have thought that the other party didn't seem to be enthusiastic about the big officials or important people in the city.

From the beginning to the present, there has never been a death by Cao Pi's familiar name, and those who lost their lives were all officials the size of sesame mung beans.

If this is the case, it seems that the life or death of those officials does not matter, but the problem is that although the official positions of those people are small, they are closely related to the livelihood of civil people.

Cao Pi may not remember what they called, but the people know it.

Therefore, their death made everyone panic.

Cao Pi didn't seem to be aware of this, to be exact, he should have realized it, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Because in his opinion, the solution to this matter is very simple, as long as the person behind the assassination is caught, everything can be solved.

But because it was an assassination, without knowing who was behind the scenes, Cao Pi couldn't even send people to arrest the other party.
