After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather in Guanzhong is still hot.

But compared to the hot weather, Cao Zhen's heart felt as if it was filled with countless ice cubes, feeling cold to the bone.

Cao Zhen looked down at the Wei generals who had been summoned by him in a hurry, and then looked at the piles of memorials in front of the case as high as a mountain. For a long time, Cao Zhen was unable to utter a word.

The dense memorials on his case were all sent from various counties in Guanzhong.

Each report represents a city that betrayed the Wei Dynasty and fell into the arms of the Han Dynasty.

And looking at the intensive number of reports, everyone in the tent knew a ruthless and cruel fact - most of the counties in Guanzhong had rebelled!

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for all the Wei generals.

Most of the counties in Guanzhong are rebelling, so where should they go next?

Should he retreat or continue to confront the Han army at Wuzhangyuan?

If they retreat, the Han army will definitely pursue them.

If they don't withdraw their troops, it won't take long before their food routes will be attacked.

You may also fall into a situation where you are attacked from both sides.

Dilemma, panic, and fear are constantly lingering in the hearts of the Wei generals.

The atmosphere in the entire tent seemed very solemn, even lifeless.

The Wei generals felt that no matter which choice they made, they might put themselves in an extremely dangerous situation.

In this situation, no one can remain calm.

But at this moment, the entire military tent seemed very quiet, and no Wei general took the initiative to offer advice to Cao Zhen.

It's not that they are afraid of anything, it's that at this moment they are already confused and confused.

My mentality is completely broken, how can I still offer any advice?

All the Wei generals present here could only look at Cao Zhen with helpless eyes.

They hope that their general Cao Zhen can find a way out for them.

But faced with such a dangerous situation, how could Cao Zhen come up with a good solution in a hurry?

Cao Zhen only learned the news that Yang Biao had been killed a few days ago. After learning the news, Cao Zhen immediately realized that something was wrong.

When Xiahou Yuan was ordered to conquer Ma Chao, Cao Zhen was in Xiahou Yuan's army.

Cao Zhen, who had personally experienced the Battle of Liangzhou that year, knew the nature of the Guanxi family very well.

The difference between the Kansai aristocratic family and other aristocratic families in the world is that there is a ruthlessness unique to soldiers flowing in their blood.

You must know that most of the ancestors of the Kansai family were generals who followed the two geniuses Wei and Huo to conquer the Huns a hundred years ago.

During the Battle of Liangzhou, even Xia Houyuan's army did not dare to confront Ma Chao directly, but the Guanxi family did.

For a Kansai family with such a temperament, one must not push it too far.

Otherwise, it will easily lead to major changes.

Because of this worry in his heart, after Cao Zhen learned the news of Yang Biao's death, he quickly ordered someone to write a letter to Cao Rui, asking Cao Rui to send elite troops to garrison the counties in Guanzhong in time.

Only in this way can the worst case scenario be effectively avoided.

But not long before Cao Zhen sent the memorial, he received the news that Huaili had been captured by Su Ze.

After learning the news, more bad news appeared in Cao Zhen's eyes like buds bursting out of the ground in spring.

All this happened so fast that Cao Zhen had no chance to react.

It is obvious that Cao Zhen has successfully blocked the Han army outside the Wuzhangyuan, and it is obvious that winter in Guanzhong will come in two months.

But suddenly, the situation of the Han and Wei armies in Guanzhong was directly reversed.

This made Cao Zhen feel anxious and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a chill to his bones.

Because of this battle situation, Cao Zhen felt that he had seen it before.

Just like last year's Battle of Nanzheng - if the Han army doesn't take action, it will be a sure kill!

Cao Zhen knew that only Mi Yang could do such a feat.

But what's the use of guessing that the current chaos in Guanzhong is inextricably linked to Mi Yang?

For the current Wei army, it is not important why this happened.

What matters is how they deal with it.

While silent, Cao Zhen was holding a piece of information tightly in his hand.

This intelligence record records the news of the fall of Huaili.

But Cao Zhen still clings to this piece of information to this day because it also records one thing - Cao Gun, the king of Fufeng, was killed by the bandit army and his body was exposed on the city wall.

Compared to the loss of Huaili City, Cao Zhen was deeply hit by Cao Gun's tragic death.

Yu Gong, Cao Gun was the vassal king of the Wei Dynasty. His tragic death was a huge harm to the prestige of the Wei Dynasty.

In private, Cao Gun is Cao Zhen's younger brother. As the elder brother, he has a lot of troops in his hands, but he can't protect his younger brother's safety. Is Cao Zhen worthy of the deceased Cao Cao?

Cao Zhen's red and swollen eyes at this moment declared a fact to the Wei generals - in the past few days, Cao Zhen spent every day in tears.

Facing the expectant looks of the Wei generals, Cao Zhen wanted to speak to calm their military morale.

But after thinking about it, Cao Zhen only felt a burning feeling in his heart at this moment, and there was no clever way to resolve the current dangerous situation of the Wei army.

Cao Zhen remained silent for a long time, which made all the Wei generals more and more frightened.

If Cao Zhen can't do anything, then aren't they doomed?

Under the inner panic, a Wei general soon took the initiative to break the silence.

This Wei general is Sun Li.

Sun Li stood up, came to Cao Zhen and knelt down before him. After kowtowing to Cao Zhen, Sun Li raised his head again with a look of sadness on his face.

"This is the time when life and death are at stake.

General, whether our army is defending or retreating, we must come up with a charter as soon as possible!

If the delay continues for a long time, the morale of our army will only become more unstable. If the bandits suddenly send troops to launch a fierce attack on Wuzhangyuan when our army's morale is exhausted, then our army will never return eastward."

Sun Li's words instantly resonated with the other Wei generals present.

After Sun Li finished speaking, the other Wei generals stood up and came to Cao Zhen. They bowed to Cao Zhen as Sun Li had just done.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the generals said different things after visiting the shrine, they all expressed the intention of asking Cao Zhen to make a decision as soon as possible.

After all the Wei generals kowtowed to Cao Zhen, the entire military tent was quickly overwhelmed by the calls for petitions.

We can't blame the Wei generals for being so eager, Cao Zhen's reaction today was really too abnormal.

In the past, when Cao Zhen heard bad news, he would get angry, but after getting angry, Cao Zhen would often come up with countermeasures.

But today, Cao Zhen was uncharacteristically showing no signs of anger.

In Cao Zhen, they only noticed a silence that was more sorrowful than heartbroken.

This silence seemed to symbolize that Cao Zhen had given up struggling.

Compared with the superficial explosion, this kind of explosion that starts from the depths of the heart is even more unacceptable to the Wei generals.

Looking at the anxious Wei generals below, Cao Zhen couldn't help but cover his chest.

What's going on with this image of national subjugation?

He felt the sweet-smelling blood rising rapidly from his chest and abdomen to his throat.

But in order to prevent the army's morale from further breaking, Cao Zhen swallowed the mouthful of sweet blood.

After swallowing the blood, Cao Zhen wanted to stand up and help the kneeling Wei generals.

The moment Cao Zhen stood up, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly opened, and then Liu Ye strode in from outside the tent.

Liu Ye's arrival was immediately noticed by Cao Zhen who got up.

Seeing Liu Ye return, Cao Zhen immediately changed his target and walked quickly towards Liu Ye.

Before reaching Liu Ye, Cao Zhen grabbed Liu Ye's hands:

"Does Ziyang have any ideas to teach me?"

Cao Zhen's tone didn't sound like a question, but rather like a plea.

Liu Ye, whose hands were grabbed, looked at Cao Zhen who looked expectant in front of him, and then looked at the frightened Wei generals kneeling on the ground. In an instant, he knew what happened in the tent just now.

Facing Cao Zhen's expectant gaze, Liu Ye made no attempt to dodge, which meant that he indeed had a suggestion in his heart to offer.

"Our army must not retreat!"

Liu Ye expressed his views directly and categorically.

After hearing Liu Ye's words, Cao Zhen couldn't help but hold Liu Ye's hands harder.

"Please teach me quickly!"
