The winter sun is dim and pale.

When Cao Cao's army arrived in Huainan, it looked out over a barren wilderness.

In front of me, the towering Shouchun City is like the only oasis in the wilderness, a piece of hope.

Cao Cao asked Cao Zhi to sit with him in the open carriage, and Sima Yi was placed in the driver's seat.

At this moment, Cao Cao slowly got out of the carriage, looking gloomy and sad at this once magnificent and prosperous, but now dilapidated Huainan.

His face was a little sad, and he suddenly got up.

"Yao remembers that more than ten years ago, Huainan Yuan Shu was here to usurp the emperor, the people cannibalized, and the state was depressed. The surplus sorghum meat and the soldiers are frozen, the Jianghuai is empty, and the people cannibalize each other! I never thought that more than ten years have passed, and this Huainan is still like this, so depressed, so dilapidated! This is a lonely mistake! ”

When Cao Zhi and Sima Yi heard this, they were both silent.

Cao Cao continued, "This strange Gu, Wei Gu was in a hurry, and after the Battle of Chibi, he tried in vain to move the population of Huainan to the north, and at that time the Lord Bo Jiang Ji advised Gu not to do this, but Gu did not listen, and finally led to 100,000 people in the Jianghuai region getting out of Gu's control and taking refuge in Jiangdong, which is where Gu failed." ”

"However, the migration of these people has made Huainan the main battlefield of hunting with the blue eyes as desired, fighting steadily and steadily, and the walls are clear, which is why there are 800 and 100,000 of General Wenyuan! This is where Lone succeeds! ”

Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao, his eyes full of admiration...

He did not admire Cao Cao's successes and failures in words, but admired him for being able to face his merits and demerits so calmly.

"Come, let's talk about it, tell me what the situation in Huainan is now?"

Cao Cao stood beside the carriage and instructed the soldiers.

Immediately, Jiang Ji, who had just been praised by Cao Cao, reported truthfully: "Previously, Dongwu raided Hefei, Lejin and General Li Dian fought desperately, and finally General Li Dian was captured, and General Lejin's troops were almost wiped out. ”

"What a Jiangdong blue-eyed!" Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "The defeat of Xiaoyaojin, the shame of Xiaoyaojin, can be regarded as being completely washed away by their battle!" Lonely, I'm sorry for Wen Yuan's voice that made Jiangdong 'stop crying'. ”

Zhang Liao had already brought troops here to greet Cao Cao, and when he heard Cao Cao sigh so emotionally, he immediately said: "Hefei is the stronghold and barrier for attacking Eastern Wu, once it is returned to Eastern Wu, the entire Huainan will always be above its soldiers, and the prime minister will not be able to attack the mouth of the river again." ”

Cao Cao's hand crossed a line along the Shouchun City in front of him, as if connecting the Hefei City and Shouchun City that were hundreds of miles away.

… Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "Lone wants to map Hefei City, then the blue eyes also want to draw Shouchun, the blue eyes know better than Lone, if Shouchun is captured, then there is this Jianghuai as the base, Dongwu finally avoided the situation of the battle of the trapped beasts, and he Dongwu has the capital to compete with Lone for the world... This blue-eyed child is in Huainan, looking at Xuzhou and Qingzhou! This blue-eyed man has a bit of his brother's ambition! ”

At this moment, a scout rushed here, "Report-", the scout knelt down, "Prime Minister, I just got the news that Wu Hou personally led the troops and increased the troops to Hefei by 30,000, if he arrives in Hefei City, there will be no less than 70,000 soldiers here." ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals and military advisors present were taken aback.

"Look..."Cao Cao slowly sat back on the carriage, "What a good Sun Zhongmou, he didn't take out so many soldiers and horses in the Battle of Chibi back then, he was determined to hunt in Huainan with the Lone Society..."

Zhang Liao arched his hand: "The last general will ask for battle, only 800, and still defeat 70,000 enemies!" ”

Le Jin also gave his hand: "The last general will ask for battle, make up for the merits, and make meritorious contributions to the crime!" ”

Cao Zhi also said anxiously: "Sun Quan personally led the troops, Hefei Shouchun is only a hundred miles, if he lets his 70,000 soldiers and horses converge, it will inevitably become a big trouble, please father quickly order, hit him half... Obstruct their joint forces. ”

Cao Cao looked at it, and everyone was eager to try, but Sima Yi was still holding the reins of the carriage with both hands and bowing his head.

Cao Cao couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was clear that he was neither anxious nor worried, and even the deep shame of being reduced to a "groom" was completely absent.

Some are just a kind of light breeze that sees through everything.

For a moment, Cao Cao felt as if his mind had been seen through by this young man, which made him feel a trace of anger in his heart for no reason.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Lone has to think again, you should retreat first, go to that Shouchun City in the evening, Lone will beat the drum and deliberate!" ”

Although everyone was anxious, they didn't dare to make a hasty decision, so they could only bow down together and retreat.

The army continued to move forward, Sima Yi still acted as a horseman, and Cao Cao and Cao Zhi still sat in the open five-horse carriage.

Suddenly, Cao Cao asked:

"Sima Zhongda, as a lonely military Sima, what are you hiding in your heart? Say it! ”

Coldly asked, Sima Yi hurriedly raised his spirit and replied cautiously: "The prime minister's eyes are like torches, and the lower officials do have something hidden in their hearts, and the lower officials are pondering the 'Tian Ji Horse Race'!" ”

"Oh?"

The story of Tian Ji's horse racing is well known, but at this time, Cao Cao inevitably became a little more curious, "How to figure it out?" I also gave a lecture to Gu and Zijian. ”

Sima Yi grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and said: "Xia Guan thinks again, when Tian Ji and the King of Qi raced horses, at first it was the upper, middle and lower horses against the upper, middle and lower horses, Tian Ji was not the opponent of the King of Qi, and then through Sun Bin mention, the middle horse aligned with the king's medium horse, the inferior horse from the middle horse to the king, and the inferior horse to the king's superior horse... So far, it's a big win! ”

"Now Xiangfan, Jiangxia, and Huainan are connected, the lower officials are dull, and the soldiers and horses are three-way, but I can't figure out which one is Prime Minister Cao Cheng's superior horse, which one is Prime Minister Cao Cheng's medium horse and inferior horse, and I can't figure it out, where are the upper, middle and lower horses of the Sun-Liu Alliance?"

"Hahahaha..."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao laughed, this Sima Yi's idea really surprised him, and also made him vigilant, "Since this question is from Zhong Da, then Zhong Da should tell Gu your answer!" ”

This...

Sima Yi obviously hesitated, he said slowly, "The prime minister is in command himself, General Zhang Wenyuan is the vanguard, this Huainan road is naturally a first-class horse, and the Sun-Liu coalition army is sent by Sun Quan to send 70,000 troops to hunt with the prime minister in Huainan, and his strength is far better than Jiangxia and Xiangfan all the way in Jingzhou, so in terms of military strength alone, he is also a first-class horse!" ”

"As for General Xu Huang and Guan Yunchang, General Xu Huang is good at the ten layers of giant deer, and he is a general who integrates attack and defense, Guan Yunchang is even more experienced in a hundred battles, and his Guan family army is invincible, but... General Xu and Guan Yunchang are subject to the strength of the army, and this side should be a medium horse! ”

Sima Yi's words made Cao Cao nod happily.

"You go on..."

"General Yu Ban led the Runan Army, and the Nanyang Army, with 50,000 troops, his opponent Guan Lin was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and he had never had a separate experience in commanding troops, not to mention whether this Guan Lin would be like Zhao Kuo talking about troops on paper, his troops alone were only more than 10,000, and he had to divide troops to garrison the cities of Jiangxia... According to the opinion of the lower officials, Guan Lin is the inferior horse of the Sun-Liu Alliance, but General Yu Ban is majestic and resolute, but he is not the inferior horse of the prime minister! ”

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao was silent for a long time...

After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao laughed: "Hahahaha... According to Zhongda's meaning, Lone has two medium horses and one high-class horse! ”

Sima Yi bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

Cao Cao groaned again and whispered left and right.

"Where is Xu Chu?"

"The last general!" Xu Chu, who was riding a horse on the side, hurriedly agreed.

"Spread the will of Lonely, let Lejin bring 30,000 soldiers to secretly support the ban... Attack Jiangxia! ”

"No!" Xu Chu received the order.

Cao Zhiyou was confused, but Sima Yi had already given up his hand and said: "Prime Minister Mingjian!" ”

"Hahahaha..."Cao Cao laughed, "Zhongda, your idea is very right, Xiangfan, Jiangxia, and Huainan are the front-line battlefields, and the key to this battlefield is not Xiangfan and Huainan, but Jiangxia and Nanyang... There are not enough medium horses, so I want to increase the number of troops to Nanyang to 80,000, so that this high-class horse can trample on Jiangxia well, if Jiangxia is determined, then the other two soldiers and horses are bound to be vigorous, and it is not a problem to break the enemy! ”

Hearing this, Sima Yi swallowed deeply.

It's all his strategy, and the prime minister listens to it.

This is already very different from Tian Ji horse racing.

Rather, to concentrate superior forces and destroy the weakest line of defense of the enemy army ...

This trick was tried again and again in the Battle of Guandu, in the Yanjin Battlefield, in the White Horse Battlefield, and when Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou, Cao Cao was familiar with the road!

It seems that he is aware of Sima Yi's meritorious service...

Cao Zhi's eyes rolled, and he thought of the words he had when he parted with Li Cong...

Li Lian's earnest advice, especially in his ears.

"Zijian, leave it to me here in Luoyang, Shouchun, you have to find a way to get rid of that Sima Zhongda!"

"As long as he is dead, the three Cao Zihuan are not your opponents, the prince will be yours, and Zhen Ji will also be yours—"

Thinking about this, especially thinking about Zhen Ji...

Cao Zhi's face condensed slightly.

Cao Cao saw that his beloved son's face was wrong, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with Zijian?" ”

Cao Zhi replied softly, because Sima Yi was driving the horse, he said in a very light and thin voice that only he and Cao Cao could hear: "Child... When the child heard Sima Zhongda and his father talk about horse racing, he suddenly thought of horses..."

Cao Cao asked, "Is it a poem about horses?" ”

"No!" Cao Zhi said solemnly, "Yes... That dream my father had! ”

Wow...

With Cao Zhi's words, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly condensed, and the sharpness in his eyes was revealed.

After being reminded by his son, he suddenly came to his senses.

- Three Horse Troughs!

- It's the three-horse trough!

Cao Zhi saw his father's expression, and he hurriedly added another sentence.

"The child remembers that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tian Ji of the Qi State who raced horses with the King of Qi, his fate was not good, as the so-called 'sharp edge, it will inevitably lead to death!' ”

Because of Cao Zhi's reminder, Cao Cao didn't think of Tian Ji, and Tian Ji was Zou Ji... It was the Wenchen who "satirized the king of Qi to admonish" who sued, and finally fled to the state of Chu... All the clansmen are dead and perishing!

Tian Ji Horse Racing... It was a stupid victory.

Cao Cao thought more of the three-horse trough, Sima... It's a horse, too!

Cao Zhi's soft words were still coming out.

"There aren't many people who can get a glimpse of my father's mind—"

For a while, Cao Cao only felt a chill in his back.

Inexplicably, for a moment, he and Cao Zhi had the same idea.

Even, he recalled Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao's words to him before he died.

- "The minister is in charge of the school office, and he is more familiar with that Sima Yi than the lord, this Sima Yi's intentions are far-reaching, and the minister is still out of reach, the minister originally thought that the minister could still suppress him for several years, and slowly accept him for the lord...... But...... Now, if he still can't be used by the lord, the lord must kill him as soon as possible, and he can't be used by the Han family, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao You remembered that at that time he grabbed Guo Jia's hand and said in shock.

"Lone knows, Lone knows!"

- "After all these years, if it weren't for Zijian's reminder, I would have forgotten about this incident."

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi, who was riding a horse, and said secretly in his heart:

- "Or is it that this Sima Zhongda used some method to make Gu forget?"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes were even sharper.

At the same time, suddenly, Sima Yi, who was riding the horse, suddenly felt a chill in his back, he knew that Cao Cao and Cao Zhi were talking, but he didn't know what the two were talking about.

It's just that a rich evil aura and an icy aura shrouded him, casting a heavy haze over his mood.

…

…

Jiangxia, Anlu City.

This is a relatively large city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is also the main battlefield of the Jiangxia battlefield here, Guan Lin and Yu Ban.

This city at the junction of Nanyang and Jiangxia has left a strong mark in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even the Qin Dynasty.

——In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang went out to tour the southeast counties, first to Mount Tai and Liangfu Mountain to seal Zen, and then along the coast of the Bohai Sea, through Chengshan and Zhifu (fu two sounds) to Langxitai, and then to the southwest, through Pengcheng, south of the Huai River, through Hengshan, Nanjun, back to Wuguan, and finally back to Xianyang.

Among them, Hengshan, Xiangshan, Nanjun and Wuguan are all extremely important places around Anlu.

At this moment, Yu Ban 30,000 Runan soldiers and 20,000 Nanyang soldiers were encamped in two places, Nanyang soldiers were stationed at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and a force was stationed in the dense forest a hundred miles away from Anlu City.

Because it's winter, the trunk is withered and there are no leaves, so you don't have to worry about fire...

And these withered trunks were the natural material for the armies to set up camp...

Inexhaustible.

In this way, the two villages are horns of each other, which is the consistent style of the forbidden military village.

"Whew-"

The military village at the foot of Hengshan is stationed by Nanyang County, and Wancheng Taishou Hou Yin and Nanyang Du Wei Kai are stationed here.

Zhu Ling was demoted to the chief of logistics for disobeying military orders, in charge of the heavy burden of transporting grain.

Merely... Although he was appointed as the chief of logistics, one hundred and twenty military sticks were enough for him to not get out of bed for half a month.

"Ahh Give you a light wipe! ”

At this moment, in the logistics tent, Zhu Ling's son, Zhu Shu, the commander of the cavalry, was giving medicine to his father Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling vented the resentment of Yu Ban on his son.

It's loud...

The temper is very short-tempered.

Outside the door, Zhu Ling's personal soldiers, who were originally equipped with horses and armor and had a prominent position in the army, were now also sent to the logistics side with Zhu Ling.

They're talking about it, too.

"General Zhu was originally General Yuan Shao, when Prime Minister Cao Cheng conquered Tao Qian, General Zhu was sent by Yuan Shao to Cao Cao to help in the war, and finally, after the Battle of Xuzhou, most of the deputy generals returned to Yuan Shao's side, but General Zhu stayed with his subordinates, and General Zhu was the first to follow Prime Minister Cao... On the contrary, it is forbidden, what is he? Is it such a military stick General Zhu? He also deserves it? ”

"Yes, over the years, General Zhu followed Prime Minister Cao Cheng to fight for Shouchun and intercepted Yuan Shu, but it was General Zhu who forced Yuan Shu to die on the road without even drinking the honey; After pacifying Jizhou, Zhonglang rebelled against Cheng Ang, and General Zhu killed him on the spot, even if he was misunderstood by Cao Gong because of this matter, and was given the ban by Cao Gong to seize military power, he never had half a word of complaint... He was forbidden to hold General Zhu's soldiers, why? Why? ”

"Phew, Yu Ban 30,000 Runan soldiers, 20,000 are originally under the command of General Zhu, I will wait to give him face and respect him as a general, but this can't be the reason for him to bully our General Zhu!"

At this moment, a voice came out, "We should jointly make a statement to Cao Gong, or gather together to seek justice from Na Yu Ban, if there is no justice in today's such things, I will wait for the opposite, against him..."

With the last voice came out.

A "bang" sound came from inside Zhu Ling's tent.

"Daddy... Dad..."I only heard Zhu Ling's son Zhu Shu shouting.

All the guards hurriedly broke in, but saw Zhu Ling planted from the bed.

He endured the sharp pain on his buttocks and said loudly: "That is, General Ben can't go to the ground, otherwise... General Ben took the first rank of you, and waited... If you dare to speak again, General Ben... General Ben... Ahh

Another heart-piercing pain...

No one can go down to the ground in a month after bearing a hundred and twenty sticks.

No matter how strong Zhu Ling's body is, this time will not be less than half a month.

At this moment, he is extremely painful...

"General Zhu..."

The guards hurriedly helped Zhu Ling back to the bed.

Call... Call...

Zhu Ling gasped, he wanted to speak, but the severe pain made him speechless.

"General Zhu... I'll wait until I know my mistake, and I won't dare to talk nonsense—"

"Get out..."

With Zhu Ling's hoarse "roll" sound, all the guards withdrew one after another.

Son Zhu Shu felt sorry for his father, and he also understood the behavior of these pro-soldiers, so he smacked his mouth, "These are pro-soldiers who have followed his father for several years, why should my father be like this?" ”

"Ahem..."Zhu Ling coughed for a while, but he still forcibly took out a letter from his arms, "The more you have to do something, the more you can't show the slightest rumor, you... You sent this letter to Anlu City for me! Send it to Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, the fourth son of the Guan family..."

Yes...

A moment ago, he was still a loyal father, but a sudden sentence made Zhu Shu completely dumbfounded, and he couldn't tell the difference... Is it the real father, or is it now...

"Daddy... You... Are you going to rebel? Betrayed to Guan Lin's side? Can... But..."

Zhu Shu's tone was hesitant...

"Don't ask anything, just do what I say..."Zhu Ling's tone was unusually firm.

"Could it be that my father is... Is it a swindle? ”

Zhu Shu said coldly.

Zhu Ling stretched out his hand and wanted to hit his son, but the huge weakness made him powerless, "You... Don't talk nonsense, you... You have to be a father to really rebel! ”

Zhu Ling stared deeply at his son...

He couldn't say anything more, but his heart was throbbing.

- "Son, in the future your marquis... That's it.'"

…

…

Jiaozhou, Lu Jiajun military village.

"Wu Hou has an edict, it is a common thing for soldiers to hear about victory and defeat, Yulin lost the conquest, General Lu should regroup and fight Nabu Mountain City again! Lonely and waiting for Boyan to go to the winter solstice to taste wine and enjoy the plum appointment! ”

As Sun Quan accompanied the guard general Jia Hua read aloud.

Lu Meng had already sent the "200,000 stone grain" raised as scheduled, and Lu Xun saluted with difficulty with the support of his son Lu Yan.

"Thank you Marquis Wu for your trust, and thank you to General Lü Meng for your great help, if you capture Yulin, thanks to Marquis Wu's wisdom, General Lü will be the first to ensure that the grain and grass are safe."

Lu Xun looks like a young man who has been smoothed out.

Jia Hua smiled and returned the salute, and then led a cadre of songs, together with the laborers who escorted the grain and grass, to go back together.

Lu Xun watched them slowly walk away.

Lu Yan beside him pursed his lips, "Dad, could it be that we think too much, will it be the fourth prince of Guan who made Han Xuan break up the relationship between his father and Wu Hou and General Lu!" ”

"Ahem..."

Hearing this, Lu Xun coughed violently, and he said lightly: "How I wish I had thought too much..."

As the voice fell.

Lu Xun's face changed, and there was suddenly a little more in his eyes, "Check, check now, every bag of grain must be opened... Every bag has to be checked clearly, clearly-"
