"What? You said Liu Bei may have died? ”

Hearing the news that Liu Bei was critically ill and even died, the expression on Cao Pi's face instantly froze.

His eyes widened, and a glimmer of disbelief flashed in his pupils, the news was too shocking to be beyond his expectations.

Such a coincidence?

The death of the Han hussar general Ma Chaoxu allowed Cao Zhen to occupy Yongxian and defeat the Han army, and now he has gained an advantage in the west.

Now that Liu Bei has died, isn't he going to give up Guanzhong to me?

No!

You can even take Hanzhong down easily!

A look of ecstasy gradually appeared on Cao Pi's face. The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted, revealing a smug smile.

God help me!

God help me!

This news is undoubtedly great news for him.

Liu Bei, the opponent who had always been competing with his father, was critically ill at this time, and may have even died.

This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Cao Pi.

However, after the ecstasy, Cao Pi gradually calmed down again, and he began to doubt the authenticity of the news.

After all, Liu Chan has always been a very cunning opponent, would he deliberately release this news to confuse himself?

Thinking of this, Cao Pi immediately asked the source of the news.

"Where did this news come from, and will it be accurate?"

Chen Qun stood aside, saw Cao Pi asking, and hurriedly replied: "The news came from the secret agents of the school government, and some families personally saw Liu Bei vomiting blood and falling into a coma, and now he is under house arrest in Weiyang Palace." ”

Chen Qun's voice was very sure, as if the news was already true.

Hearing Chen Qun's answer, the suspicion in Cao Pi's heart was slightly reduced.

The secret agent of the school government has always been one of his most relied on sources of information, and there is also the situation that the family has personally seen Liu Bei, this news should be true.

But he was still a little uneasy.

"Who saw Liu Bei vomiting blood and falling into a coma?"

"Wei Xuan."

Cao Pi frowned slightly.

Isn't this Wei Zhou from Jingzhao Webster?

I heard that he was very close to the Han Kingdom.

I'm afraid there's something wrong with this news.

Chen Qun saw Cao Pi's doubts, and immediately said: "This news should be true, although Wei Zhou is close to the Han Kingdom, but it is close to Liu Xuande, now that Liu Bei has died, and he has no heir to be reused, he naturally has to find another way." ”

"He is under house arrest in the palace, how did the news come out?"

"Bought the internal officials who came to deliver the food box, pretending to be a letter to report safety, and spread the news at the right time?"

Cao Pi nodded.

Since Chen Qun said that this news is accurate, it can't be faked.

Cao Pi, who got the real news, was suddenly full of ambition.

The emperor died violently, and Chang'an fell.

How smooth.

There was a sharp glint in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must take this opportunity to take down the Tongguan in front of him!

Cao Pi stood up, walked to the map, and carefully observed the geographical location and defense situation of Tongguan.

Fingers swiped lightly across the map, as if calculating the best route for the siege and the deployment of troops.

His brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about how to take Tongguan as quickly as possible at the lowest cost.

Sima Yi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, for fear that Cao Pi would immediately order troops to attack Tongguan.

"Your Majesty, this matter may be true, but now that the heir of Duke Liu is still in Tongguan, and the elite soldiers of the Han State are still in Tongguan, Your Majesty is sending troops at this time, that is, the news of Liu Bei's death is coming, I am afraid that not only will not demoralize the Han army, but will arouse their fighting spirit, and the mourning soldiers will win, and they must not compete with it."

Again?

Cao Pi's brows were furrowed, and his face was already showing impatience.

No, no, no, no.

Why can't it work?

"Then from Zhongda's point of view, how can I send troops?"

Cao Pi tried his best to suppress his ups and downs, but those who knew Cao Pi well in the army knew that the emperor of Great Wei was already angry.

Sima Yi can be said to be a roundworm in Cao Pi's stomach, he naturally feels Cao Pi's displeasure, but as a courtier, there are some things that the monarch is not happy about, and he still has to say it.

Otherwise, if the war is lost, it will be his responsibility.

"Confirm the news of Liu Bei's death, and at the same time pay attention to Liu Chan's movements, if Xuande really dies, he will leave!"

Cao Pi thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Confirm the news for two or three days at most, and in these two or three days, he can still afford to wait.

"Pass the order, all the armies will go to prepare for the siege of the city, and when the news is confirmed, my Great Wei will take advantage of Liu Bei's critical illness to take Tongguan in one fell swoop!"

"No!"

"No!"

"No1"

The generals of all the troops agreed one after another, and they all went out of their tents to prepare for the battle that might come in a few days.

With Cao Pi's order, the entire military camp suddenly became busy.

The logistics people have taken action, preparing equipment and supplies for the siege.

The Wei generals also began to urgently mobilize their forces and deploy them according to Cao Pi's plan.

Sima Yi walked out of the dragon tent.

Outside the tent, snowflakes fluttered and fell, like countless white butterflies dancing in the air.

They fill the air lightly, as if dyeing the whole world with a layer of pure white.

Snowflakes fell on the canvas of the tent with a subtle rustling sound.

The speed at which the snowflakes fell gradually increased, and the wind began to howl.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew through the tent, bringing a biting chill.

The guards guarding the dragon's tent wore heavy cotton clothes and held their posts in the wind and snow, their breath condensing into a white mist in the cold air, intertwined with the falling snowflakes.

Ruixue Trillion Year.

If there is no war, next year will be a good year.

It's a pity.

Sima Yi sighed.

He went to the edge of the Yellow River again to see how the water froze.

The situation is even better than he thought, the river is already frozen, although it is only a thin layer, but you must know that it is only the middle of November, and the temperature will be lower and lower in the future, and the snow will be heavier and heavier.

This year's Yellow River will surely be covered with a thick layer of ice, and if His Majesty is willing to wait, at most a month, he will be able to march along the river, bypass Tongguan, and drive straight to Guanzhong.

If he came to lead the troops, he would definitely do it.

But Cao Pi led the troops, and these were not up to him.

Sima Yi's eyes flickered, and he had to think more.

If this is a conspiracy by Gongji Liu, what should we do?

But this idea was soon left behind him.

Probably not.

It's a trick, my army is here, how can it be defeated by just a few fake news?

At this moment, the voice of Cao Pi's guards came from behind him.

"Fuzun, there is new information here, Your Majesty asks you to enter the account."

New intelligence?

Could it be that the variables are coming?

Sima Yi's pupils shrank, and he immediately turned around and followed the emperor's guards and turned back to the dragon tent.
