The attendant Liu Ye hurriedly walked into the hall and bowed. Before he could straighten up, Cao Rui handed over a letter. Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Cao Rui in surprise. Although Cao Rui He is young, but he has the charm of his ancestor Cao Cao. No matter what major happens, he is unlikely to panic. However, his behavior today reveals his uneasiness.

"Look at it." Cao Rui seemed to know what Liu Ye was wondering, and said with a wry smile: "After reading it, you will know."

Liu Ye lowered his head and glanced at the letter in his hand. First of all, the materials used in this letter surprised him very much. It was not bamboo and wood slips, nor silk books, but paper. Paper was not uncommon, and Donglai County, Wei State, produced paper. Known as Donglai Paper, but the paper in your hand is obviously not Donglai Paper. The paper is thin but tough, and it also emits a faint fragrance. The paper is separated by light vertical railings, and is as elegant as a famous scholar and Xiahou Xuan The elegant font is a contrast.

As a close minister of the emperor, Liu Ye of course had some understanding of Xiahou Xuan's situation. As soon as he saw Xiahou Xuan's handwriting, Liu Ye knew where the letter came from. But he was still a little strange. Did Wei Ba make something horrible? What's going on?

Liu Ye quickly read the letter. After reading it, his forehead began to become wet, and a layer of fine beads of sweat emerged from the ends of his hair. The breeze came gently, and Liu Ye shivered, raised his head, and a little in his eyes appeared. A look of horror.

Cao Rui was prepared, so he reached out to take the letter and said lightly: "This is a big deal, so don't be hyped."

"Yes." Liu Ye quickly agreed, and then added: "I understand."

Cao Rui slowly folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, looked at Liu Ye's slightly white face and said nothing. It was not until Liu Ye's face returned to normal that he asked: "Your dear, what should I do?" good?"

Liu Ye owed: "Your Majesty. Lu Xun was defeated, not only did he lose more than half of his main force in Jingzhou, but his army was also shaken. It would be difficult for Sun Quan to defend Jingzhou anymore. Once Wei Ba goes north and threatens Nanyang, it will be very unfavorable to our army."

Cao Rui's eyes flashed and he said no.

"After Sun Quan suffered this crushing defeat, there were only two choices. One was to ask His Majesty for help and resist Shu together. However, our army's main force was in Guanzhong and had no time to support Sun Quan. If Sun Quan did not receive support, he would likely choose to bow to Shu. He gave up Jingzhou, even made accomplices for the tiger, and instead attacked the Jianghuai area."

"In this way, our army will not be able to fight on both sides of the road."

Liu Ye nodded and said nothing more. Cao Rui was a smart person. He probably had already thought of the consequences, but he was just unwilling to give up.

Wei Ba defeated Lu Xun, which was beyond everyone's expectations. At that time, it was very difficult for Wei Ba to stand stalemate with Lu Xun. What's more, it might be that Lu Xun was driven to the mountains, continue to play to the strengths of the barbarians, and fight guerrillas. What is the situation? As long as he restrains Lu Xun, it is a good thing for Wei State.

But who would have thought that Wei Ba actually defeated Lu Xun and had a great victory. In this way, the situation in Jingzhou was completely beyond their original estimates. It had an immeasurable impact on Cao Wei's plan to recover Guanzhong.

When Liu Ye thought of this consequence, his scalp became numb. He couldn't help but admire Cao Rui secretly. If he hadn't been against the public, arbitrarily and arranged Xiahou Xuan to Wei Ba, how could Cao Wei have been less than five days after the war ended. He received the news within a while? Without Xiahou Xuan, Cao Wei would have to know the news for at least ten days, and the meticulous works could not grasp Wei Ba’s next moves as clearly as Xiahou Xuan.

The news from Xiahou Xuan provided Cao Wei with a warning time for wealth.

"Love, do you think Wei Ba is likely to go north?"

Liu Ye blinked: "You must be careful." He hesitated for a moment and said: "Even if he doesn't go north, it will have a great impact on us. At least we are at a disadvantage in terms of morale and food tax issues.

As the other goes, we can hold on for a shorter time. If we cannot resolve the war in Guanzhong before Wei Ba goes north, I am afraid..."

Cao Rui nodded slowly but said nothing. When Liu Ye saw this, he reminded again: "Your Majesty, there has been no news for the General of the Carriage for so long, so I am afraid that he will not find any flaws. Rather than that..."

"No." Cao Rui interrupted Liu Ye completely: "I said that the monarch would not accept anything when he was away. I believe in Zhang He, and he did not act rashly, which was not a bad thing. If he fought a decisive battle with Zhuge Liang rashly, I would be worried.

.”

Liu Ye licked his lips and said nothing more. Cao Rui handed over the 40,000 main force to Zhang He, and all the hope was on Zhang He, but Zhang He had no good news so far. Apart from asking for food and grass, there was a little movement.

No. This made Liu Ye a little worried, for fear that Cao Rui would not be able to hide his face, so he was embarrassed to take the initiative to withdraw Zhang He, so he reminded him that seeing Cao Rui persisted so much, he would not be able to say anything else.

"It is very important for us to take back Guanzhong." Cao Rui stood up and walked slowly to the corridor. The winter sun shone on his face, but it could not illuminate his melancholy eyes. "How can we hold Wei Ba down?

, buy more time for Zhang He?"

Liu Ye pondered for a long time: "Your Majesty, you should make the best use of Sun Quan."

“How to use it?”

"The withdrawal of the troops from Jianghuai allows him to mobilize the forces from the east to protect Jingzhou."

Cao Rui thought for a while: "What else?"

"Your Majesty should issue an edict to comfort you, reiterate your alliance, and to restor him as a plea to Sun Quan. So that he can fight with Wei Ba with all his might, but he cannot be careless. He should secretly dispatch the military troops from Xiangyang to prepare for war, so as not to rebel against Shu and be rebelled against him.

He drove. Or let Wei Ba go north and caught him off guard."

Cao Rui nodded and smiled slightly.

...

Zhang He sat on the back of the horse, his body swaying gently with the ups and downs of the war horse. The man seemed to be one with the war horse, and there was an indescribable tacit understanding. Behind him, Qin Lang drove the war horse and followed closely. Although Qin Lang was a powerful son

, but not at all weak, and his riding skills are very good.

"General, can we break through Zhuge Liang's blockade and enter Guanzhong?"

"No." Zhang He said concisely and clearly.

"Since that's the case, why do we rush to Jingyang for?"

"Because we have no better way except to rush to Jingyang." Zhang He gently tied the reins, slowed down, and said politely: "General, we have been waiting for a month, but we have no chance. If we continue like this,

I'm afraid the situation will not change anyway. Since that's the case, we might as well take the initiative to attack and test Zhuge Liang's reality."

Tian Fu rushed over and happened to follow Zhang He's topic: "Also, if we attack Jingyang with such a big fanfare, Zhuge Liang will definitely transfer the main force to Jingyang, so as not to break into Guanzhong. The troops in other places will naturally be empty, and may reveal flaws.

Maybe. General, am I right? ""

Zhang He smiled. During this time in Longyou, this brave and brain-loving young man left a good impression on him. He also often guided Tian Fu's way of using troops. Tian Fu understood his thoughts.

More thorough, hit the nail on the head.

"Jinjiang, you have been in Guanzhong for many years. I guess you are familiar with the terrain here, right?"

Tian Fu smiled and said, "It's okay. General, do you have any plans?"

Zhang He smiled silently, raised his head and looked at the horizon in the distance. Suddenly, he said inexplicably: "Winter is here, and the Jing River should not be that big, maybe the beaches on both sides of the shore can be able to move."

Tian Fu was about to answer, but suddenly his heart moved. He urged his horse to come to Zhang He, walked side by side with Zhang He, bowed his hand, and whispered: "General, I can go."

"You?" Zhang He glanced at him: "It depends on whether your father and General Qin agree or not."

Tian Fu understood the truth and immediately bowed to Qin Lang and said, "General Qin, from here to the south, it is to the south, you can fight with Zhuge Liang's main force. To the east, you can fight with Zhuge Liang's main force. To the east, you can

Walk east along the Jing River, about 600 miles to reach Chang'an."

Qin Lang thought briefly: "Is it the old way that the Huns attacked Ganquan Palace?"

"What the general said is exactly."

"This path has not been made for many years, can it still be passed?" Qin Lang frowned. He had already understood what Zhang He and Tian Fu meant, and was very interested, but he didn't know what the specific situation was. Zhuge Liang was a cautious person, if

After making corresponding arrangements, this surprise soldier is likely to be gone forever.

"If the water is big in summer, I'm afraid I can't walk. But in winter, the water is shallow, and the war horses can move forward from the river beach." Tian Fu said confidently: "Just be careful, you can walk out of the mountains in seven or eight days. Once you enter the hinterland of Guanzhong, you can enter the hinterland of Guanzhong.

, the enemy will be shocked if the ranger goes back and forth and kills."

Qin Lang was moved: "How many people do you want?"

"It's useless to be too much." Tian Fu lowered his head and thought: "A thousand riders are enough."

Qin Lang and Zhang He exchanged glances and nodded at the same time. Qin Lang immediately invited Tian Yu and said Tian Fu's suggestion. Tian Yu glanced at Tian Fu, and before he could speak, Tian Yi shouted:

"Uncle, this trip is dangerous. Brother, please don't go, I'll go."

Tian Fu suddenly became anxious and glared at Tian Yi: "Are you familiar with Guanzhong, or am I familiar with Guanzhong?"

Tian Yi curled his lips: "Although you have been in Guanzhong for many years, I'm afraid you haven't walked through that old road? In terms of terrain, you may not have an advantage over me."

"Okay, stop talking, and you're not afraid of General Qin and General Zhang laughing." Tian Yu shouted, interrupting Tian Yi and Tian Fu's argument, and said to Tian Fu seriously: "Are you familiar with the terrain? This is not

When competing for merit, if you miss the national affairs, no one will afford it."

Tian Fu blushed: "Father, although I haven't walked that path myself, my subordinates have familiar soldiers and they can lead the way. Father, I only have a thousand cavalry, and even if I lose, it will not hurt the overall situation."

Tian Yu looked at Tian Fu and nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll give you all the personal guards."

Tian Fu was overjoyed: "Thank you, father."

Tian Yu turned around again, waved his hand, and called Tian Yi to the front: "You follow Jinjiang, brothers are united, and they will cut off gold. Never make a fight with one's will, otherwise I will not spare you, have you heard?"

Tian Yi put away his smile and bowed to agree.
