Chapter 560 Veteran! (Second update)

The third auxiliary battlefield is where Cao Mengde feels most at ease.

Because there is the rising star he values ​​​​most, Zhang Ji, who is good at government affairs and proficient in military affairs. In the rear, there is Du Ji, known as the best prefect in the world, who supplies food, grass and supplies.

The generals include the Cao family's tiger son, his yellow-bearded son Cao Zhang, the Cao family's white pigeon, and the veteran general Cao Hong who is loyal and good at accepting advice.

There are wise and resourceful people such as Yang Fu, veteran generals and brave generals who have been on the battlefield for many years, countless elite soldiers, and the foundation of his Cao family's many years of governance.

But even if there were so many, now they have all come to naught due to Zhuge Liang’s calculations.
Even if it’s a dream. Even if it’s a nightmare!

Cao Mengde could not have imagined that the biggest variable on the Yongliang battlefield was not the mighty general Ma Chao, nor the big-eared thief Liu Bei who came out in full force.

Nor is it the Fa Xiaozhi who once attacked Yongliang with cholera and plotted to seize Xichuan.

It turned out to be one.
"That's it. It's just that Zhuge Kongming misjudged Zhuge Kongming!"

After sighing, Cao Mengde didn't want to say anything more. He could already predict what would happen next.

The west of Tongguan is probably no longer safe. Zhuge Liang has fought his way out of the siege on his own. Judging from the means and vision he has shown now, he can almost easily penetrate Lantian and other places.

In this way, Chang'an's southern defense line was completely lost, and Sanfu's western gateway Fufeng was also captured early. Zhao Yun was also fighting with Liang Xi in Beidi County in the north.

Attacked from three sides, even if the Chang'an defenders have extraordinary abilities, they may not be able to overturn the world!

"If Liu Bei captures Chang'an, he will definitely return his central land to Chang'an. Since that's the case," Jia Xu said again at this time, "I might as well relocate all the people of the three assistants!"

"Migrate all of them?" Cao Mengde was also shocked by this idea, "What about Chang'an?"

"It is definitely too late to move all the people, so we can move as much as we can. As long as Chang'an falls into Liu Bei's hands, then he must fill Chang'an.

This invisibly hindered his future efforts.

In addition, we must try our best to take away the grain, food, money and everything that can be moved from Chang'an and other places, and destroy everything that can be destroyed!
Although Liu Bei had three states, Jingzhou was exhausted and Jiaozhou was desolate. Although Yizhou was good, it was hindered by Yongliang.

Money and food will always be his problem. Rebuilding Chang'an is not something ordinary people can do.

The amount of money and food he spent was enough to bring his power to the brink of collapse, but he had to do it."

"If so, it will be a very time-consuming thing."

"King Wei, if you give up, give up!" Jia Xu looked at Cao Mengde. He knew very well that King Wei understood what he meant, and he also knew that King Wei knew that this was the best thing to do.

But he knew better that this decision could only be made by the King of Wei himself.

"Whenever you give up, give up." Cao Mengde looked at Jia Xu in front of him, looked at the map on the other side, and looked at the route and battle situation analysis he had sketched out bit by bit with his eyes narrowed.

Finally, he pointed to a place with trembling hands.

"Send an order to Tongguan and ask Zilian."

"Report!"

"My subordinates request to see King Wei!"

At this time, just when Cao Mengde was about to give the order, the two scouts came again and brought two latest battle reports.

"Urgent report from Tongguan!" One of the scouts knelt down towards Cao Mengde and handed over the battle report at the same time, "General Cao Hong asked the King of Wei to transfer Young Master Cao Zhang to garrison in Tongguan.

He personally went to Chang'an to take charge. Now that the army was in turmoil, he came here to apologize! "

This sentence made Jia Xu raise his head immediately, and also made Cao Mengde close his eyes tightly.

The rise and fall of his chest proved that Cao Mengde's mood at this time was far from as calm as it appeared on his face. "Zi Lian."

Cao Mengde knew what this meant. Changing defense was the last thing Cao Hong could do for him.

"My lord, please order the King of Wei to have Yang Fu and other Longyou troops defend Lantian to buy time for Chang'an!"

At this time, Jia Xu couldn't care less about the deep brotherhood that moved them, the Cao family.

In his opinion, since Cao Hong has this awareness, he must seize this opportunity quickly. Since Zhuge Liang's battle report has reached here, Cao Hong must have learned about it earlier.

Even though he was a little moved by making this order, it was more important to save the situation now.

"Go and give the order." Cao Mengde seemed to be really tired and looked in another direction at the same time, "What news is coming?"

"General Zhu Ling rescued General Wang Ling and others."

At this time, the other scout's face became much better. After all, this was the best news in the day.

After the Han River broke out, it was not only the soldiers and horses under Yu Jin's command and Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that were affected, but even the Jiangdong Army was somewhat affected.

It's just that the place where Jiangdong's army is located is the junction of southern Jing and northern Jing. Although the water here is crisscrossed, it has been affected by floods.

But also because of the water problems here, the river water is diverted.

On the contrary, the impact is not that serious.

On the contrary, Wang Ling and others who were guarding the embankment on the upper reaches of the Han River were hit hard.

When the flood broke out, none of them escaped, and they were all swept in.

Although Zhang Ren and Zhao Rong were confused after receiving the news, they still rushed to search the ships and rushed over with their troops to beat up the drowned dogs.

Even Cao Mengde thought that Wang Ling and others had no chance. After all, they were at the beginning of the flood, and they were not good at water fighting and were not ready.

In this situation, they have no way to escape. Those are the heroes from the younger generation he finally selected. They are their great Wei and the hope of their Cao family's future.

That's why Cao Mengde felt distressed.

But Zhu Ling gave them a way out of this fatal situation.

No one knew what Zhu Ling was thinking. After retreating and retreating from the battlefield, he still stationed his army on the mountain and waited, knowing that the embankment had been secured.

No one knows why Zhu Ling cut down the trees.

But at this time, when Zhang Ren and Zhao Rong led their troops to charge and prepare to harvest Cao Jun's generals and horses, Zhu Ling led the army and rushed down directly.

Throwing the felled trees into the river, a large number of trees became the best weapons, constantly hitting the warships at the feet of Zhang Ren and others, preventing these two-handed swordsmen from advancing.

Immediately after, he rushed to build a raft and launched into the water to rescue people. On the other hand, he personally led the remaining soldiers and horses directly in front of Zhang Ren.

This time, Zhu Ling, who was no longer showing off, used hard power to beat Zhang Ren and Zhao Rong so hard that they couldn't even move forward.

Wang Ling, Sun Li and others, who were already lifeless, can finally evacuate slowly and return to a safe place.
At this time, Zhu Ling looked at Zhang Ren and Zhao Rong with angry eyes in front of him.

He just took a deep breath with a calm expression.

"Back then, I gave up everything and came to you. Even today, I, Zhu Wenbo, have never thought of regretting it!"

"Since you handed over the world to those young people, it's time for me and the veterans to fight for you one last time."
