After the meeting.

Lao Cao left only a few henchmen such as Cao Ying, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu.

Yes, the old poisoner Jia Xu was finally left to participate in this small meeting this time.

It was no longer because Lao Cao felt that he had a lot of bad water in his stomach.

Those present were their own people.

The way Lao Cao spoke became much more casual.

I saw him look at Cao Ying and asked:

"Ei'er, what do you think should be done with those prisoners?"

Cao Ying bowed her hand slightly, and was not polite, and opened her mouth to respond:

"Awen, Sun Er wants to ask you for two of them."

"One of them is Yang Ang, the other is Pound."

Hearing this, Old Cao Dun was puzzled.

Yang Ang he knows.

Cao Ying had already told Old Cao before that he planned to use Yang Ang to blackmail the city gate of Yangpingguan.

It would be nice if you could successfully open the city gates.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out.

Anyway, Yang Ang's role is only one deception gate.

But that Pound, what does Cao Ying want him to do?

Meeting Old Cao's doubtful gaze.

Cao Ying pouted slightly and said with a smile:

"Awen, on the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns."

"If my grandson is not protected by skilled people, it is really unsafe."

Hear this.

The corner of Lao Cao's mouth twitched fiercely.

Is this special, is his eldest grandson speaking human language?

Others may not know what Huang Zhong is capable of.

But Xu Chu next to Lao Cao, his martial arts are also top-notch.

Naturally, he can see some of Huang Zhong's false and real situation.

If nothing else, just rely on Huang Zhong's martial art.

In the Cao camp, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone who can defeat him. "Zero eighty-zero" again.

Xu Yi and Wang Shuang are also extraordinary.

And at the moment, it is not yet at the peak age, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

With these three bodyguards, can Cao Ying's personal safety still be a problem?

TM's!

Don't talk about anyone else.

Old Cao Du is hungry for Huang Zhong's martial arts!

I wanted to hold on a little longer and leave Pound behind.

But when Old Cao looked at Shangcao Ying's big bright and godly eyes, he quickly lost the battle.

That's it, anyway, it's all to pave the way for the eldest grandson.

This Pound, it doesn't hurt to give it to the eldest grandson.

In any case, the people under the eldest grandson are also people from Cao Ying.

In this way, it is not a loss.

......

After being asked by Cao Ying to take Pound and Yang Ang.

The remaining two people, whether they live or die, are not so important.

Especially Ma Dai.

After a vote, the people decided to put Ma Dai to death.

There are so many Cao Ying martial generals, there is no more of him, and there is no less of him.

Not to mention.

Loyalty is sometimes more important than ability.

Even if Ma Dai is willing to surrender, it is estimated that he will rebel in minutes.

As for Ma Chao, Lao Cao planned to be executed after returning to Yecheng.

This time, thanks to Cao Ying's participation.

Lao Cao did not have so much anger about Ma Chao's rebellion, but tried to force Ma Chao to jump back in a hurry.

Thus.

Ma Teng is also likely not to be killed by the old Cao who returned from victory to vent his anger as in the original history.

Of course, if you want the class master to return to Yecheng, you still need to completely recover Liangzhou first.

This task, Lao Cao handed over to Xia Houyuan to be responsible for.

With Xia Houyuan's prestige in the Guanzhong region for so many years, it was most appropriate for him to be in charge of sweeping Liangzhou.

Lao Cao himself, on the other hand, returned to Chang'an with the army brought from Yecheng and temporarily stopped.

It is worth mentioning.

Because Lao Cao had previously arranged for Cao Ren to lead 20,000 soldiers to block the border of Liangzhou, at the suggestion of Cao Ying.

This time, none of the defeated Hanzhong soldiers successfully escaped back to Hanzhong.

They either died in battle or became prisoners.

Including Yang Ang himself, more than 5,000 Hanzhong soldiers were captured.

What's more.

Since no Hanzhong soldiers escaped back smoothly.

On the Hanzhong side, including Yangping Pass, no one currently knows the final outcome of the battle in Liangzhou.

In the era of cold weapons, the news is closed.

Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing.

But like now.

For Cao Ying, the monopoly of news is definitely an excellent magic weapon that can be used!

If it is placed in the afterlife.

It is estimated that just after the battle, send a circle of friends, and the other side will know how the battle is going.

It is simply impossible to completely monopolize frontline information.

Unless, you can't even catch up with the time to post Moments.

But I want to achieve that total annihilation effect.

It is estimated that only large mushrooms can do it quickly.

......

After returning to Chang'an

The person in charge of greeting Lao Cao was Zhong Xiu, the second-in-command in the Guanzhong region.

The old man heard that the pacification of Liangzhou this time mainly relied on Cao Ying's scheme.

The gaze in his eyes was a little brighter.

He was very glad that when Cao Ying arrived in Chang'an before, he gave Zhang Ying to Cao Ying and formed a good relationship.

Zhang Lingpu's mother and sister are both servants in Zhong Xiu's family.

Especially Zhang Lingpu's mother is also a confidant servant beside Mrs. Zhong Xiu.

With Zhang Lingpu's relationship, it is more convenient for Zhong Xiu to reach further cooperation with Cao Ying in the future.

After entering the castle.

Under the service of Zhang Lingpu, Cao Ying slept until the next morning, when she woke up slowly.

It was the first time in his life that he went on a military expedition.

To say that you are not tired is definitely a lie.

Although his physique has been exercised, he has now become quite good.

But under a high-intensity rush march.

Suddenly returning to the gentle township, naturally you still need to take a good rest.

Old Cao may also know that his eldest grandson is tired.

Since yesterday night until now, no one has been sent to disturb Cao Ying.

......

After waking up.

Cao Ying walked into the courtyard.

But he suddenly found that outside the house where he lived, there was a kneeling person.

Walking in a little, Cao Ying found that the kneeling person was none other than Pound.

"Xu Yi, what is the situation?"

Cao Ying asked towards Xu Yi on the side.

"Qiyu Gongzi, after you let this house go."

"As if the devil was stunned, he kept kneeling outside, unwilling to get up."

"Erm..."

Cao Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After returning to Chang'an at dusk yesterday, Cao Ying released Pound.

Yes, it is literal, directly released.

On the way back to Chang'an from Shanggui.

Cao Ying has actually been doing Pound's ideological work.

He did not directly solicit Pound.

Instead, he cited different allusions and examples from the world to discuss with Pound.

Between the two, it was not so much the relationship between prisoners of war and victors.

Rather, it's like a pair of old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

Of course, Cao Ying has always been protected by Huang Zhongxu Yi and others.

Pound's hands were tied, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Cao Ying.

Until arriving at the gate of Chang'an City.

Cao Ying also did not open his mouth to recruit Pound.

Opposite. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

Before he returned to his residence, he also specially ordered Huang Zhong to release Pound, and did not explain anything else.

After that, Cao Ying slept in the dark.

I didn't wake up until now.

Looking at Pound, who was kneeling not far away, Cao Ying sent Xu Yi to bring him in.

This time.

Pound probably already knew that Cao Ying was awake, and finally stopped kneeling in place stupidly, but followed Xu Yi over.

"I said Ling Ming, why are you suffering here?"

"Ben Gongzi appreciates you, and I don't want to see you lose your precious life for Ma Chao's sake."

"But you don't have to toss yourself so much!"

Cao Ying said to Pound seriously.

This scene.

If it is heard by people who are not aware of the outside world.

I am afraid that I thought that Cao Ying was an old professor, and Pound was a student who was being reprimanded.

However, when seeing the age difference between the two, the sense of discord simply reached the extreme.

"Eigongzi, I figured it out in the next."

"From now on, please let the next become a sharp blade beside Eigongzi, and everywhere you go, you will cut through thorns!"

What Pound said came from the heart.

Moreover, he can also be regarded as a cultural person who has read books.

At least in Ma Chao's Ma Family Army, Pang De is the most literate person.

Along the way, Cao Ying discussed those allusions with him.

Some he had heard before, others he hadn't.

But no matter which allusion.

After Cao Ying's narration.

Pound always had a sense of benefit from it.

This also made him more convinced that Cao Ying was the Ming Lord he really wanted to follow.

It is always said that the people of Liangzhou are cunning and changeable.

Dong Zhuo, Li Wei, Guo Qiang, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others are all from Liangzhou.

But at the same time, the people of Liangzhou are the most loyal.

With a straightforward temperament, once they have decided on something, they will unswervingly walk according to their beliefs.

Like Jiang Wei, like Pound.

Both of them are the kind of people who "drip the grace of water, when the spring springs in return".

Now.

Pound made up his mind.

If Cao Ying does not accept him.

Then after he goes back, he chooses to draw his sword and kill himself!

Looking at Pound with unwavering eyes, Cao Ying stretched out his right hand and pulled him up from the ground.....

"Ling Ming, with your help, I naturally won't refuse."

"But..."

"What I want you to pay for is your ability."

"Not your life!"

"If in time, you are on the battlefield and encounter a difficult dilemma."

"Remember, try to survive first, and then wait for the opportunity to find a way to break the game."

"Don't sacrifice your life for the sake of a momentary good name."

The voice fell.

Pound nodded heavily.

He understood that this was the Lord's teaching to himself, and he should take it to heart.

Xu Yi on the side watched this scene the whole time, and he was even more surprised in his heart.

He is not a direct subordinate of Cao Ying, but a "sending courtier" arranged by Old Cao.

But now.

Return from Shanggui to Chang'an City.

Then to witness the whole process of Cao Ying's recruitment of Pound.

In Xu Yi's heart, the idea of dying for Cao Ying arose.

Even if the person who inherits the old Cao inheritance in the future is not Cao Ying.

Xu Yi will also follow Cao Ying and always guard Cao Ying.

In his heart, this is his true lord!

......

Outside the Guan Meng Pass

Liu Bei accepted the grain and grass and weapons sent by Liu Zhang with a smile.

Later, he personally sent two envoys sent by Liu Zhang back.

But......

At the moment when the messenger turned and walked away.

Liu Bei's face suddenly sank!

Wei Yan on the side said with a face full of indignation:

"Master, this Liu Zhang is really a door-slashing person."

"I want us to help him resist Zhang Lu, and the food and grass we give us are getting less and less every time."

"The weapons given to us are even more scrap that third-class pawns are too lazy to use!"

The third-class pawn refers to the kind of garrison that is generally only used to stay in various places.

The combat effectiveness of such soldiers is higher than that of the militia, but the height is really limited.

It has been more than two months since Liu Bei arrived at Gemeng Pass.

As everyone knows.

Gemeng Pass is a strong fortress.

Among them, there should be a lot of grain, grass, weapons, and other items.

After all.

This is the forefront of the fight against Zhang Lu.

If there is nothing, it is equivalent to automatically opening the gateway to Yizhou to Zhang Lu.

But let's do it...

When Liu Bei arrived here, there really was nothing!

Except for one empty level, only five hundred pawns remained.

Liu Bei was confused.

He couldn't figure it out, how dare Liu Zhang throw such a Guan Meng Guan with only five hundred pawns left?

I found out after some inquiry.

It turned out that the defenders originally stationed in Gemeng Pass were withdrawn because of the arrival time of Liu Bei!

Other words.

This group of defenders of Gemeng Pass, after receiving Liu Zhang's signal, regarded Liu Bei as a person to change defenses.

What is this concept?

0.1 means that Liu Bei rushed from Jingzhou to guard Liu Zhang's door, but he had to pay for it at his own expense!

Fortunately.

Liu Zhang's things were not completely done.

He also had to count on Liu Bei to help him resist Zhang Lu.

Every twenty days, Liu Zhang sent someone to deliver a batch of supplies.

The first time was quite hearty.

The second time it was significantly less.

This third time, that is, the one just now.

It was simply an abacus bead that jumped on Liu Bei's face!

No matter how you pick it, you can't cut it like this, right?

Is it true that Liu Bei has no temper?

But.

Liu Bei still maintained a good quality and did not get angry with Liu Zhang's two messengers.

For Wei Yan's complaints, Liu Bei also did not pay much attention to it after comforting two sentences.

He understood that it was time not to turn his face with Liu Zhang.

Jingzhou soldiers have just arrived in Yizhou, and at this time they still need to gain a firm foothold and slowly win over people's hearts.

But...... The grievance and anger in the heart are naturally indispensable.

However.

Just as Liu Bei was about to rest, a white-eared soldier shoved a letter into Liu Bei's hand.

"Lord, this is sent by Mr. Shudi Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang?!"

Liu Bei's eyes instantly flashed with joy.

......
