Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 218 Transporting Troops
Chapter 215 Transporting Troops

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed, not caring at all.

"I have sent Cao Ren to personally escort the grain and grass to Hefei. I came here to support Hefei's military and came to assist Xu Huang to win as soon as possible. According to time, it should have arrived five days ago. Although the news has not yet come, I know that Jiangdong must have been defeated!"

Xun You was shocked and asked at a loss: "How could the Prime Minister know that Jiangdong has been defeated? Sun Quan personally led a hundred thousand troops, with Tai Shici as the chief general and Lu Su as the military advisor. I expect Zhou Yu of Poyang will definitely send his generals to help. If he wants Defeating them in one battle is easier said than done.”

All eyes were focused on Cao Cao, wondering how the prime minister knew that there would be a great victory in Hefei.

"Everyone!"

Cao Cao stood up slowly with a wine glass in hand, looking comfortable.

"I am in Xinye, so close to Jingzhou, but for more than ten days, Jingzhou has not moved its troops, but why?"

Zhong Yao bowed and said: "The prime minister's reputation is so great that it is rare in the world. Although he is in Xinye at this time, Wancheng behind him still has 500,000 troops stationed! Zhuge Jingzhou has always been cautious in his conduct, how dare he invade without authorization!"

Cao Cao laughed, nodded, and shook his head.

"The Prime Minister's merits are unparalleled in the world, and he is the best in ancient times!"

At this moment, a scout came on Pegasus. Before the sound of hoofbeats arrived, the sound of shouts could already be heard in the distance!
"Good news from Hefei!"

"There is only one intention! We in Hefei have the upper hand in the war and are winning every step of the way! Jingzhou is fearful of power, so that's why we didn't dare to act rashly!"

Cao Cao held the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.

All the generals prostrated themselves on the ground!

Cao Cao showed his face and laughed, full of ambition and excitement!

With excitement in his heart, Cheng Yu grabbed the letter and turned back to the courtyard.

"Hefei Battle Report!"

"He has so much food and grass in Jingzhou, but he may not have the life to enjoy it!"

Cao Cao raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp!

"As long as Xu Huang can succeed again and again on the eastern front, Zhou Yu will be forced to withdraw his troops to the east for reinforcements. If we encircle the eastern front for reinforcements, we can annihilate all Zhou Yu's troops!"

"But without Jiangdong's support and defense, Jingzhou has to divide its troops into two sides to cope with the simultaneous advance of Wancheng and Jiangdong. How can it last long?"

All the ministers descended from the higher ranks one after another, knelt down in front of Cao Cao, bowed three times and cheered.

"Cheng Zhongde, read it!"

"Here!"

Cheng Yu stood up first and ran to the front of the house in a few steps, just in time to meet the Pegasus scouts!
"The scouts in Hefei have reported, please turn to the Prime Minister immediately!"

"The Prime Minister analyzes the truth and sees the fire like a fire. I can't wait!"

"The ancient Ziya and Yi Yin are not as good as you!"

"If Sun Quan succeeds in Hefei, Jingzhou will definitely send troops to invade and seize the victory."

"But I am the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and the world of the Han Dynasty is my world! What's the use of a little food and grass? It has only been a year and a half, but I am still strong!"

Cao Cao stood up, holding the wine glass, and walked to the high steps outside the mansion, his eyes falling on the mountains.

At this moment, the door of the mansion is wide open. The mountains in the distance are already green.

"At that time, the world will be unified and the whole world will surrender. You and others will all be the heroes of the Han Dynasty's centenary unification!"

"Hefei was defeated..."

"Report!"

"When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, I can conquer the thousands of miles of Jingzhou!"

"What was surprising was that Zhang Liao was disappointed and surrendered at all costs. And Hefei was tricked by Zhuge Wende, and countless grain and grass were stolen."

The generals guarded the left and right and followed Cao Cao. They felt that although the prime minister's figure had not grown, at this moment, he was as if he were the king of the world, standing tall and tall!

Cheng Yu quickly walked up the stairs and opened the letter with trembling hands excitedly.

Cheng Yu's hand trembled and the letter almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held it in time and only a corner was hanging in his hand.

"The reason why Jingzhou is holding back its troops is just to wait and see what happens in the war in Hefei!"

“I expect good news to come within three days!!”

"Although what Yuan Chang said is reasonable, it is not the main reason."

……

Cao Cao smiled happily, holding the wine glass in his hand, and slowly returned to the table. He lifted the wine pot with one hand and filled himself a glass.

"Prime Minister Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!!"

Cao Cao suddenly turned around, raised his glass in the air, and looked down at the ministers.

"Report urgently to the Prime Minister!"

"There is no news from Hefei now, and Jingzhou is still standing still. Why?"

Covered in dust, the scout dismounted from his saddle and raised the letter in his hand above his head.

"I am marching cautiously in this southern expedition. It is not because of cowardice, but because I want to use Wancheng troops and horses to contain Liu Bei of Jingzhou and Zhou Yu of Poyang, and divide the troops in half to attack Chaisang directly."

The smile on Cao Cao's face suddenly froze!
"Keep reading!"

After a period of silence, Cao Cao's voice was as cold as ice.

"Here..."

Cheng Yu no longer had the high spirits he had just now. He straightened the letter helplessly and continued reading:
"Cao Ren led 50,000 troops down the river to Hefei. As soon as they reached the shore, they were surrounded by Xu Huang's Hefei troops and launched a fierce attack. Of the 30,000 troops in the front, 10,000 were killed and 10,000 were captured. , and ten thousand were driven into the river and drowned in the water. "

"..."

Cheng Yu's voice gradually became deeper and deeper, and then turned into silent remembrance, but the whole scene was still as silent as a morgue late at night, depressing and cold.

After a long time, Cheng Yu finally put away the letter, lowered his head, took two steps forward, and raised the letter in front of Cao Cao.

"Why! Why did Xu Huang suddenly attack Cao Ren's headquarters!"

"What happened to the three hundred thousand grains and grass!"

Cao Cao was so confused that he had no intention of studying the letter anymore and asked in a low voice.

"Xu Huang fell into Jiangdong's trick. He said that there was a mysterious army in Jingzhou. He was dressing up as Wancheng's soldiers and horses, carrying 300,000 grains and grass down the river, and wanted to encircle our Hefei soldiers and horses with Jiangdong. That's why he took the initiative to send troops, Strike halfway across..."

"The three hundred thousand grains and grass..."

Beads of sweat dripped from Cheng Yu's forehead!

"What's wrong!!"

Cao Cao kept asking questions without stopping.

"Cao Ren saw that Xu Huang's troops were attacking fiercely and seemed to be determined to seize the food and grass. He thought that he had strayed into the Wu army's camp, so in order to prevent falling into the hands of the enemy, he ordered his men to light a fire and burn them all in the middle of the river. , there is nothing left..."

"And while Cao Ren and Xu Huang were fighting fiercely, Jiangdong soldiers and horses advanced in great numbers, attacked the Hefei camp, and captured Jiang Ji. Xu Huang's troops, less than 50,000 troops, had already retreated into Huaibei. Cao Ren's 10,000 troops, I took a boat up the river, but now I have disappeared..."

"Snapped!"

Cao Cao was furious and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, breaking it into powder.

"This is all Zhuge Wende's plan!!"

"Zhuge Wende, I swear to fight you till the end!"

"Assemble the three armies, send troops to Wancheng urgently, and gather in Xinye before dark. I will attack Jingzhou on all fronts in the early morning of tomorrow, and capture Zhuge Wende at all costs!!"

Cao Cao felt the blood surge in his chest, and he pressed down several mouthfuls before swallowing the blood that reached his throat without spitting it out.

"Prime Minister, no!"

"It is a taboo for the army to use troops impetuously. I hope the Prime Minister will calm down for the time being and plan for the long term!"

"Prime Minister, the eastern front has been defeated, and Sun Quan's morale in the east of the Yangtze River is strong, so he will definitely unite his troops to take the western front. If the prime minister is impulsive and uses troops to fight one against two, he may not be able to win..."

"Please consider it, Prime Minister!" the generals urged, and gathered around, kneeling and crawling at the foot of the steps.

The happy and harmonious scene just now is gone!

"choke!"

Cao Cao's eyes were red, he pulled out the Heavenly Sword from his waist, and struck in the air!

The sharp blade cuts through the wind, roaring in waves, and murderous intent permeates the air!
"Anyone who dares to persuade me will be killed immediately!!"

Cao Cao lowered his head and stared at the generals below.

There was silence!
"Report!"

"Report from Xun Lingjun in the capital!"

"Xu Dou has something going on, it's extremely urgent!"

"Drive!!"

"Xu Dou has something going on, it's extremely urgent!"

Before anyone could react, the war horse had already broken through the barriers of the gatekeepers and rushed directly into the mansion!

The scout on horseback rolled his saddle and dismounted, rolled over a few times, crawled forward a few more steps, and finally reached the steps in front of Cao Cao.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Xudu was defeated by Zhuge Wende's troops and horses, Xun Lingjun was captured, and all the generals and the Prime Minister's family residences fell..."

what! !

How can it be!

Cao Cao and his subordinates were all dumbfounded, as if they were in a dream!
How could Xudu fall? How could it possibly fall!

On the left and right, there are 400,000 troops from Wancheng at the gate of Jingzhou, and 350,000 troops from Hefei at the gate of Jiangdong!
How can it be!

And how many states, cities and counties are along the route from Jingzhou to Xudu?

How can you know nothing?
And what about Xun Lingjun?
That was the wisest man in the Han Dynasty, the "ovary" of the prime minister, and the best guard!
In the past, a small Zhen Cheng and hundreds of defenders could resist Lu Bu for half a month!

What's more, Xuchang is the capital of the country, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses available in the city?
"But the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who attacked the city did no harm, and the people did not do any harm, and there was no burning, killing or looting!"

"only……"

"I just kidnapped the five hundred-pi swords made by the prime minister..."

"Soldiers and horses came and went like the wind, but within half a day, they were all gone again..."

"Report!"

"Urgent report from Wancheng!"

Before everyone could take a breath, Wancheng's scouts were already kneeling at the foot of the steps.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Wancheng camp has been attacked!"

"All the food and grass were burned, not a grain of rice remained, and many of the tents and tiles in the city were leveled. Now the three armies have no fixed place to live, and no food or rice..."

Jia Xu suddenly stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "Is it Jingzhou's soldiers and horses again?"

The scout knelt on the ground, nodded and said, "The general is leading elephants, giant beasts, lions, tigers, bears, and leopards. He calls himself Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

Zhao Zilong!
Hearing these three words, the civil servants and generals below could not help but tremble!
In the battle of Fancheng, two of the five good generals were lost, and half of the 630,000 soldiers and horses were lost!
And Zhao Yun's Fancheng only had 50,000 troops!
The God of War, Zilong, became famous throughout China!
"How many soldiers and horses were injured?"

Jia Xu's eyes opened even wider and he asked eagerly, as if he wanted to prove something.

"The number of casualties among the three armies was only a few hundred. It seems that they had no intention of harming them and just came here to burn food..."

Less than half an hour!

Half an hour ago, all the officials were celebrating happily, and Cao Cao was in high spirits!

At this time, the world was turned upside down for three lifetimes!
Hefei on the eastern front and Wancheng on the western front were all defeated miserably!

Even Xudu has been occupied by the enemy. Although he comes and goes again, it is like a prisoner being released again, a shame and humiliation!
"Prime Minister..."

All the officials knelt down, not daring to say another word and not knowing what to say!

There was silence!
"Wow!"

Cao Cao, who had been silent and ashen-faced, could no longer hold back the blood in his heart. He spurted out like an arrow and vomited at the foot of the steps, causing a rain of blood to the kneeling generals!
……

Deep night.

The lamp is dim and miserable.

Cao Cao closed his eyes tightly and remained awake.

At this moment, all the ministers had retreated, and Cao Pi also turned out of the outer hall. Only Jia Xu was the only one, prostrating himself in front of Cao Cao's bed.

"Prime Minister..."

"On the top of Mount Tai, Xu Shao held another Yuedan Review and announced the name of the best counselor in the world."

"Zhuge Wende..."

Zhuge Wende!

Hearing this name, Cao Cao, who was in a coma, felt the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitch.

Jia Xu knelt on the ground with his head lowered, as if unknown.

"Prime Minister, in addition to the defeat of Hefei and our army's heavy losses, Wancheng was attacked and Xudu fell. All were planned by Zhuge Wende."

"I'm sorry, I'm guilty. The strength of my ministers against Zhuge's power is like throwing an egg against a stone. It's vulnerable..."

"Zhuge has repeatedly warned us, and his intention is obvious. He does not want to go on a killing spree, but only wants peace between us. I hope the Prime Minister will think carefully about this."

After hearing what Jia Xu said, the unconscious Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes.

"The third time!"

In Cao Cao's mind, the picture of Hua Tuo being entrusted to save his life half a month ago appeared again.

"Prime Minister, there are only three things you can do..."

Jia Xu frowned and whispered.

Cao Cao slowly closed his eyes again.

"Where is Yang Xiu?"

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Yang Xiu and the third son Cao Zhi are in Wancheng. They came to Xinye after the attack in Wancheng, and they have just arrived for more than an hour."

Cao Cao: "You can go secretly visit Yang Xiu and reveal this situation to him!"

"Here!"

Jia Xu's heart moved, and he already understood the prime minister's intention!

……

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will be able to see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance!"

On the top of Mount Tai.

A man in white clothes stood in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, gently shaking his folding fan and chanting casually!

East.

The red sun is like a disk, rising slowly and shining on all living beings.

The brilliance of the rising sun fell on the man's body, folding layers of light. Taking advantage of the mist around him, he acted like a banished immortal!

"Let's see!"

"This is the wisest man in the world rated by Xu Shaoyuedan!"

"Nanyang Zhuge Yong!"
