Xu Du went to the official road to Luoyang, it was noon at this time, and the sun was shining.

The army led by Cao Zhang, Xu Shu and Xiahou brothers slowly marched in the direction of Luoyang, and the whole team walked neatly, with a fierce momentum, showing a majestic momentum.

The army moved forward slowly, and at this time they had entered Yingchuan County, and the official road was lined with patches of wheat fields.

At this time, the wheat is far from ripe, showing a verdant state, looking from afar, like a rippling green sea.

The sun shines on the wheat field, and the whole wheat field is reflected in a golden light.

Several peasants toiled in the wheat fields, all dressed in shabby coarse cloth clothes, stepping on the ground barefoot, covered with loess, and sweat running down their heads and arms.

Some of them were ploughing the land with hoes, and the soil was turned over, exuding a refreshing smell of soil, which blew with a gust of summer wind, carrying the aroma of the earth, blowing into the snorts of Cao Zhang and others, which had a special sense of intimacy.

In the fields of the countryside, there were several scholars dressed in elegant cloth clothes and carrying school bags, they either stood on the edge of the field to observe and recite poems and works; Or talk loudly, expressing your opinion on current events.

Cao Zhang's army passed, he deliberately listened to the conversation of several scholars, although their opinions are still a little immature, but it can be heard that some of them still have a sense of the overall situation, a little training and carving, you can enter politics and serve the country.

In the distance, on the edge of the field, a group of bouncing children appeared, their young faces filled with bright smiles. They held hands, frolicked in the wheat fields, and sang nursery rhymes. The innocent singing echoed over the field, like a clear spring, flowing deep in the hearts of Cao Zhang and others.

Cao Zhang was infected by this innocent singing, and his mind came up with the childhood memories of the original owner, and he also played with his brother, younger brother, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou Juan when he was a child, which was an innocent happy time.

Nowadays, time has passed and wars have continued, and it is difficult to have such a calm. Even the brothers no longer have the closeness of their childhood, only deceit and struggle for power and profit.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

I have been crossing over for a while, and I have become more and more accustomed to the identity of "Cao Zhang", and I have also accepted the relationship and feelings with the people around me, and gradually integrated into this world, so I will have this kind of empathy.

Xiahou Shang didn't notice Cao Zhang's inner feelings, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration: "It is said that Yingchuan people are outstanding and talented, and there are countless talents. ”

Cao Zhang listened to his words, came back to his senses and echoed: "Yes, you can see scholars talking about political affairs everywhere in this field, and the nursery rhymes sung by children are also quite meaningful, Yingchuan is really a holy place for talents." ”

"If you want to talk about Yingchuan's talents, I'm afraid the most famous ones are Xun Lingjun and Guo Junshi, right?" Xiahou Ru asked.

Cao Zhang nodded: "Junlin is right, Xun Lingjun and Guo Junshi can indeed be regarded as the leaders of the Yingchuan talents in the world." Xun Lingjun was wise and intelligent, and his proposal to his father to serve the Son of Heaven to order the ministers not only preserved the Han court, but also accumulated enough popularity for his father. The world calls him Wang Zuozhicai, which is absolutely appropriate. ”

Xiahou Shang also nodded and said: "Yes, let alone Guo Junshi, although he is not more than thirty years old, he is extremely resourceful." Sikong's several victories in battles were all due to his strategy. ”

Xiahou Ru also conformed: "Sikong is now able to lead the ministers and become the head of the hundred officials, and he can't do without the help of Xun Lingjun and Guo Junshi." They put their talents to good use and achieve extraordinary things. Their thoughts, their vision, reveal extraordinary intelligence and insight. They are true Magi. It also confirms that Yingchuan's multi-talented statement is true. ”

"Since there are so many talents in Yingchuan, we might as well camp here today and feel some of Yingchuan's outstanding people!" Cao Zhang, however, gave an order to set up camp at this time.

"Encampment?" Xiahou Shang was stunned and raised his worries to Cao Zhang, "It's just past noon and you're going to camp?" We have set a five-day itinerary to arrive in Luoyang, so I'm afraid it's not okay to delay it like this? ”

"It's okay, just rest early today and leave early tomorrow. Besides, what can you do a day earlier or a day later, as long as you can repel Li Dao on schedule. Bo Yan don't have to worry, just pass on my military order! Cao Zhang responded disapprovingly, sticking to his instructions.

Seeing that Cao Zhang insisted, Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru didn't say much, so they could only take the order to leave and order the army to stop and camp.

Xu Shu, who had not spoken, came to Cao Zhang's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "Childe wants to set up a suspicious formation, let them pass on the news, and then secretly arrange Gongmeito's action, right?" ”

Cao Zhang smiled and nodded: "Yuan Zhiya, who knows me!" Maybe it won't be long before Yingchuan will have another talent who is famous all over the world! ”

When Cao Zhang said this, he looked at Xu Shu with deep meaning, and he was convinced in his heart that if Li Wei won the expedition, he could gain fame, and Xu Shu would also become a famous strategist in the world.

His life destiny will also change completely, and he will no longer be the person who "entered Cao Ying" without saying a word and lived his life without doing anything.

Xu Shu felt the expectation in Cao Zhang's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head in response: "Thank you for your love, once upon a time, I was also full of ideals in my heart, but I have never had a suitable opportunity to show it." ”

"Today, I am fortunate to have the love of my son, who recruited me to serve under his command, and gave me a chance to show what I have learned all my life. Please rest assured that Xu Shu will do his best to help Gongzi achieve the great cause in his heart! ”

"Yuan Zhi, you are one of my most important assistants, and I admire your intelligence and insights. I believe that as long as we monarchs and ministers are united, the 20-year period of domination of the world set by our first meeting will be fully possible. ”

Xu Shu looked at Cao Zhang respectfully: "Childe, no matter how tortuous the road ahead is, I am willing to walk with you to create brilliance together." ”

Cao Zhang felt Xu Shu's determined eyes, and smiled: "Yuan Zhi, we are about to face a difficult battle, but with you by our side, I believe we will be able to succeed!" ”

After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he took out a small bamboo tube that had been prepared from his arms, and the gap in the bamboo tube had been sealed with fire paint.

"Season!" Cao Zhang beckoned Li Jin behind him.

Li Jin quickly stepped forward, came to Cao Zhang's side, and saluted respectfully.

Cao Zhang handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Li Jin, and commanded in a low voice: "Season, you personally go to Gongming's rear team, hand over this secret letter to him, and let him act according to the plan, and ensure the success of the first battle!" ”

Li Jin stretched out his hand to take the secret letter, and after bowing to Cao Zhang, he quickly turned his horse and walked in the opposite direction of the army.

Cao Zhang and Xu Shu watched Li Jin go away, their eyes full of expectations, and they all expected Xu Huang to follow the plan and achieve victory......
