Chapter 10 Prophecy
"The general is the pillar of the country, a member of the royal family, and must not fall into the hands of the Shu people!" Linghu Sheng said in a low voice.

Yang Zheng, a member of the royal family, admits that the pillar of the country is not worthy of its name.

But Linghu Sheng's words were correct, if Cao Shuang were to stay here, I'm afraid his "confidant" would not be able to return home.

"Yang Zheng is here, don't be alarmed, General!" Yang Zheng drew out his long knife and walked towards the army.

Of course, Cao Shuang not only called out Yang Zheng, but also other generals and lieutenants. Finally, two or three thousand people gathered around him.

However, Yang Zheng always felt that the expressions of these people were a little ugly, as if they were going to a grave, as if they were mourning a concubine.

Xia Houxuan sighed, "Having suffered such a defeat, what face will we have to see the world?"

Yang Zheng thought he was going to draw his sword and kill himself, but he just lamented and didn't say anything.

"If the striker Guo Huai hadn't withdrawn from the battlefield, how could we have suffered such a defeat? It must have been instigated by Sima Yi!" The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked scribe was full of resentment.

In fact, Guo Huai was the only one who could be called a good general.

It's a pity that this good general and Cao Shuang are not of one mind.

"Xuan Maoxiu wants to talk again, Taifu Sima has sent letters repeatedly asking me to wait to retire, how can I blame him now?" Xia Houxuan looked serious.

It turns out that this sharp-billed monkey cheek is the famous Deng Yang and Deng Xuanmao.

This person is after the famous general Deng Yu, and he assisted Cao Shuang together with He Yan and Ding Mi.

At the beginning of Cao Shuang's administration, he restrained himself and returned to courtesy, and acted in a low-key manner. He treated Sima Yi with respect and treated him like a nephew. Whenever there was a major event, he would negotiate with him. The two had a honeymoon period.

Later, when He Yan, Ding Mi, and Deng Yang were attached to Cao Shuang, the direction of the wind gradually changed.

None of the three of them is a gentleman, or flashy, or corrupt, or insidious, gradually led Cao Shuang astray, and people at that time called them the three dogs of Taichung.

Zang Ai, the son of the famous general Zang Ba, bribed his father and his concubines in order to seek an official position. One dared to give it away and the other dared to accept it.

Cao Shuang's struggle for power and exclusion of Sima Yi was planned by the three of them.

Everyone in Luoyang knew these things. Yang Zheng thought about it for a while, and the memory fragments in his mind gradually converged into a whole.

"Leave aside this matter for the time being, it's better to get through the present!" Cao Shuang had some knowledge of a general, so he didn't dwell on the present.

Tens of thousands of people competed for a mountain pass, and it was conceivably crowded. Many people were trampled to death before they could squeeze through.

In the rear, the cavalry of the Shu army had arrived and charged wantonly.

The soldiers screamed again and again, but no one turned around to resist.

This shows how disturbed the army is.

"The matter has come to this point, there is no further delay, you wait to protect the general and return to the north quickly." Deng Yang issued an order.

However, the surrounding soldiers looked at him with disdain and anger in their eyes.

It's not easy for a human being to get to this point.

Thinking that his ancestor Deng Yu was the head of the 28 generals in Yuntai and assisted Guangwu in rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, he did not expect his descendants to degenerate to this point.

It is true that the gentleman's Ze was cut off for five generations.

Regardless of disdain or anger, the surrounding soldiers followed suit.

A group of people surged forward like snails in the chaos.

And the Shu army on three sides all looked at the tooth flag and came to kill.

Deng Yang seemed to have noticed the clue, and persuaded: "General, this is an extraordinary time, you can abandon the guard of honor and march forward lightly."

Cao Shuang said decisively: "The guard of honor of the teeth is the prestige of the three armies. When the flag is there, the three armies know that the general is there. If the flag is not there, the morale of the army will collapse immediately, and even loyal and brave men cannot hold it!"

Yang Zheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration, thinking to himself that Cao Shuang still had some guts.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yang turned his eyeballs, his eyes swept around the crowd, and fell on Yang Zheng, with a tricky smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Zheng's body suddenly felt cool, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"The general is indeed wise and brave, but the general is the backbone of the country. The Wei Dynasty cannot live without a general. The banner can stay here. A brave general will wear the general's armor and guard the teeth. The general will go out of Shenling first!" Deng Yang Arched.

"That's a good statement. Uncle Zhao is a lonely and important minister entrusted by the late emperor, so he should not stand in a dangerous place." Xia Houxuan also echoed.

Cao Shuang's ears are typically soft, and the slight assertion just now faded away quickly.

Before he could speak, Deng Yang said first: "General Yang is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. He was brave and invincible in the first battle of Qingmu Gorge. If he was wounded and survived, he must have the protection of the heavens. This important task belongs to General Yang."

I bought a watch last year, and Yang Zheng wanted to yell at me.

This guy is helpless against the Shu army, but he is quite good at dealing with his own people.

If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun, and ran away with my head covered.

What's going on in this era, there are pits everywhere?
Suddenly he thought of the fact that Cao Shuang was so close to him in the Chinese army camp yesterday, he must have aroused Deng Yang's jealousy.

Cao Shuang looked over with "affectionate" eyes, "Xingyun's father and son are three generations of my family. His ancestor died in Hexi, and his father died in Liaodong. How can he be trapped here!"

These words still sound decent.

It turns out that I have such a relationship with Cao Shuang.

Yang Zheng remembered that the trilogy in the Three Kingdoms period was similar to domestic servants, who had personal attachments and were privately owned by generals.

However, before he was happy for a few seconds, Cao Shuang changed the subject, "However, only Xingyun can take on this important task!"

Yang Zheng almost choked on the old blood in his throat.

What kind of fucking logic is this?

He just said not to let himself fall into it, but then changed his mind in a blink of an eye, and wanted to push himself into the fire pit.

People around looked at him with sympathetic or gloating eyes.

Before Yang Zheng agreed, Cao Shuang had already begun to take off his armor.

In the final analysis, Cao Shuang is a person with a cold nature after all.

At this time, if you refuse, you can only die faster, so you simply pretend to be loyal to the end, "Don't worry, the general, your subordinates will be terrified!"

Cao Shuang grabbed Yang Zheng's hand again, with tears welling up in his eyes, "Xing Yun will definitely come back safely!"

The two big men held hands at every turn, which really made people feel hairy.

There is love, but this paper love is not as important as his life after all.

Yang Zheng took off his armor and put on Cao Shuang's black light armor.

Of course, Cao Shuang's things are not ordinary, with a tiger's head and shoulders, a lion's waist belt, mighty and domineering, and suddenly feels extremely powerful, and it is lighter than the previous armor.

It feels like it was made for me.

Cao Shuang looked at it in amazement, "Xing Yun will be the general in the future!"

This casual remark immediately shocked everyone present.

The first general of Cao Wei was Xiahou Dun, the second was Cao Ren, the third was Cao Zhen, the fourth was Cao Yu, and the fifth was Cao Shuang.

No outsider has ever taken on this role.

Xia Houxuan coughed lightly.

Deng Yang's eyes became more venomous.

Cao Shuang didn't know what to say, and was very interested. He untied the long sword at his waist, "This sword is called Hualing, and it is one of the three swords forged by Emperor Wen. I lend it to you! Help you kill the enemy and make meritorious service for the country."

Although he knew that Cao Shuang was cheating himself, he still had a little bit of affection after all.

Otherwise, there is no need to talk so much nonsense.

Yang Zheng took the long sword and bowed down to thank him.

"Uncle Zhao, the military situation is urgent, and it is not appropriate to delay here." Xia Houxuan reminded.

Only then did Cao Shuang set off surrounded by everyone.

He didn't look back, but Deng Yang looked back at Yang Zheng with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
