Although Cao Pi was very annoyed by Qingxu Haoba's disobedience, he still recognized Zang Ba's ability.

So when Zang Ba stood in front of him with an obedient look, and took advantage of the death of Yin Lu and his brothers, implying that he was old and wanted to retreat bravely, Cao Pi was extremely pleasant.

"Huh~ The Marquis of Liangcheng is brave and strategic, and this time he rubbed the enemy's spirit, and after the class returned to the court, I should be rewarded for my meritorious deeds." Cao Pi took Zang Ba's hand and smiled sincerely, "When the country is employing people, how can the Marquis of Liangcheng say goodbye?" ”

"Your Majesty is grateful, and Ba is grateful." Zang Ba's face was disheartened, and he looked like he had really been hit hard, "I only hate old age and weakness, and I am afraid that I will miss Your Majesty's major events." ”

"Hehe, this matter will be discussed again when I return to the court, the Marquis of Liangcheng fought hard with all the soldiers, and let's go and rest first." Cao Pi was clearly pleased with Zang Ba's reaction.

"Yes." Zang Ba hugged his fists and bowed, and retreated reflexively, at this moment, his back was full of excitement, but it was not all pretended......

After a while, Cao Pi looked away and said, "Let's go, I'm going to visit General Wenyuan in person." ”

This time, his tone was much more sincere and urgent than when he faced Zang Ba.

Zhang Liao, who was seriously ill, was sent back to the rear with Zang Ba's subordinates, and Cao Pi also relied on Zhang Liao very much.

The force is both strong, the strategy is thorough, the quality is loyal, and the righteousness is observed.

This was Cao Cao's evaluation of Zhang Liao back then, and Cao Pi also thought so.

He personally came to Zhang Liao's barracks and saw Zhang Wenyuan, whose face was flushed, his anger was as rough as a cow, and his eyes were closed.

"General Wenyuan, general?" Cao Pi called lightly twice, Zhang Liao didn't even move his eyelids, obviously he had fallen asleep.

Zhang Liao's personal soldiers wanted to help him up, but he was immediately stopped by Cao Pi, and asked the imperial doctor who had just checked Zhang Liao's pulse on the side: "How is General Zhang's condition?" ”

Although Cao Wei and Eastern Wu also had military medical officers, they all served high-ranking generals, as for those soldiers...... If they don't have a move, who will use the medicinal herbs they carry on them?

The imperial doctor was sweating profusely, and I don't know if it was because of the sweltering weather: "Back to Your Majesty, General Zhang seems to have a new sense of heat, dryness and yin, and has a warm ......."

Cao Pi was startled when he heard that Wen was sick, and immediately said, "Wen sick? But the plague? ”

"No, no, no." The imperial doctor hurriedly shook his head and said, "It should be caused by the stuffiness of Futian, dampness and heat, at this time, the sweat is weak and cannot eat, and the pulse is dry......"

"I only ask you, is General Zhang worried about his life?" Cao Pi interrupted the Imperial Doctor's Rory with a cold face.

“…… The ministers should do their best, but this disease ......"

"That's it! At any cost, as long as General Zhang's condition improves, regardless of the rest, let's go down. Cao Pi had already understood from the hesitation of the imperial doctor that Zhang Liao's condition was not optimistic.

But no matter what, Zhang Liao can't die at this time!

If Zhang Liao is here, even if his army withdraws, Jiangdong will definitely not dare to go north to Hefei.

But if he dies at this time...... Jiang Dong's morale must have soared, and he wondered if Sun Quan would add some unrealistic ideas.

Zhang Liaozhi is to Jiangdong, just like Guan Yu is to Jingbei, and Ma Chao is to Qianghu......

“…… Be. The Imperial Doctor sweated even more when he heard this, but he changed his way and didn't speak again.

Cao Pi has often been ill in recent years, and as a physician, he naturally figured out the temperament of His Majesty the Emperor......

"How is General Zhang's battle? Let's talk to Lonely. Cao Pi sat on the ground in front of Zhang Liao's sickbed and asked his own soldiers.

The pro-soldier described Zhang Liao's use of the "Liaophobia" up and down Jiangdong to build momentum, and then dragged the sick body on the bow of the ship to close his eyes and recuperate, which frightened the Wu army into chaos.

not only rescued the remnants of Zang Ba, but also made the remaining Wu troops dare not go ashore to pursue.

"Wonderful! Wonderful. Cao Pi couldn't help but admire, "There are 800 cavalry in front of you to break through the 100,000 army, and there are people who are cross-legged and closed their eyes to scare back the pursuers from both sides." This Chenggu summons the tiger also! ”

Zhang Liao couldn't see or speak, so he could only be thanked by his own soldiers.

This is not the end, Cao Pi waved his hand again: "Give me the imperial clothes and General Zhang, after the general wakes up, all the food every day is the same as mine, don't slack off." ”

"Yes. (Your Majesty)"

Cao Pi's attention to Zhang Liao was not only a reward for his achievements, but also a strategic need.

Zhang Liao's role in whether the strategy can succeed in the future and move westward without leaving future troubles can be said to be crucial, and it is by no means comparable to other idle generals.

"Sun Quan, let you go wild for a while!"

……

In fact, if you want to say that Sun Quan is rampant, Cao Pi is really a little wrong to blame him.

When he got the news from the front, how did Sun Quan get rampant?

"Bastard! I was alone all the way, there was no supply along the way, and I had mobilized many people to surround and chase them, and I even let them run?! ”

Sun Quan couldn't help but scold, after all, they were passive defense, and once the military spirit was frustrated, there might be a big problem.

Even if he wasn't in the army, he could make up for the dejected faces of those soldiers.

I planned to make up for the defeat and annihilate the enemy army to make up for the blow of the broken Jingkou and boost morale.

It seems that this kind of lone raid basically has no intention of going back alive.

didn't expect that even so, it would make people run away, no wonder he couldn't control his emotions.

The messenger who reported the news bowed his head and remained silent, for fear that the king would be angry with him.

Of course, Sun Quan was not angry with a little pawn, and after adjusting his mood, Sun Quan asked again: "Could it be that Xu Sheng can't catch up with him, so that the thief will get away?" ”

"King Yu, General Xu has successfully intercepted the enemy army and attacked General He on both sides, but just as it was being defeated, suddenly the enemy army came all the way to meet and rescued the remnants of the enemy army after breaking through."

"Humph! In such a situation, can people still break the siege? Sun Quan's tone was obviously full of dissatisfaction, and he frowned and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"King Yu, it's that Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan."

Sun Quan: "......"

The dissatisfaction on his face disappeared in an instant.

Sun Quan, who had miraculously calmed down, waved his hand, and the post man retreated with relief.

"Alas......" Sun Quan sighed, at this time, Xu Sheng and He Qi were not only not dissatisfied, but rather appreciated.

It is not easy to achieve such a result in front of Zhang Liao, and to drive him all the way back to Jiangbei, behead Yin Lu, and annihilate thousands of people in Zang Ba's department.

He even wanted to give the two of them some commendations as a sign of encouragement......

Of all the people who have received the battle report recently, not all of them are frowning or angry.

Because of this, there are still people who have a big heart - such as Guan Yu, who has been facing Cao Ren across the river for a long time.

After quickly taking Fancheng and beheading Manzhong, he did not rush to cross the river to the north, but began to appease the people of Xiangyang, and liaise with the Jingzhou clans here to stabilize the rear.

Guan Yu's abnormality made Cao Ren very puzzled, in his impression, Guan Yu should have already fought after taking Xiangyang, even before taking Xiangyang......

He didn't have the right to make water, so he could only wait for Guan Yu to play his cards, but he didn't know what Guan Yu was waiting for.

"Hahaha, the time has come, prepare to cross the river!" After reading the battle report in his hand, Guan Yu, who was already blushing, became even more red, shook his long white hair, and ordered to prepare to cross the river to fight!

This battle is different from the last time, the grain and grass have already been prepared, and what Guan Yu is waiting for is just an agreed news.
