"In passing the order of King Gu, he quickly sent people back to Yecheng to confer Gu Sanzizhi as the General of Nanzhonglang. The General of the Expedition ordered him to quickly pack his bags and rush to Xudu, leading the army from the Central Plains to go south to Fancheng for rescue."

Cao Cao pondered for a long time and quickly made a decision.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked suspicious, and even looked horrified.

what's the situation?

Send Cao Zhinan to rescue Fancheng?

Is there any mistake?

That was Guan Yu, the powerful enemy of thousands of people in the world. All civil and military officials knew what Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhi was.

When it comes to reciting poems and composing poems, it goes without saying that he must be the best among the literati of this era.

But isn’t it child’s play to command troops?

Then you can't become a prisoner of war under Guan Yu's command?

However, everyone was very aware of the suspicious temperament of their own King Wei. This matter had already been decided, so they did not dare to refute too much and could only remain silent.

…

The royal city of Wei——Ye City.

First, King Cao Cao of Wei sent people to rush over at high speed, and ordered Cao Zhang, who was stationed in Youyan, to quickly rush to Chang'an to assist the Hanzhong battlefield.

After receiving the order, Cao Zhang did not dare to neglect at all!

So he immediately handed over all the important military and political affairs in the border area, and then rode south quickly to Yecheng.

After arriving in Yecheng, the crown prince Cao Pi heard the news and came to see him off in person.

Before leaving, Cao Pi looked serious, held his hands tightly, and solemnly warned, "Xian brother, you first made great achievements in northern Xinjiang. This time you go west to meet your father, remember not to show pride and indulgence.

You must be humble when answering questions.”

“Brother, please relax, I’ll spare you the trouble!”

Immediately, Cao Zhang also had a serious expression on his face and responded with his hands raised.

Then the two brothers said goodbye outside the west gate of Yecheng.

Cao Zhang led his troops thousands of miles to Chang'an!

Many days later, the fast horses from the Hanzhong front line rushed to the royal city to present themselves to the crown prince.

But before Cao Pi could be seen, vague rumors had reached Linzi Marquis Mansion.

"What?"

"Uncle Zixiao is trapped in Fancheng, and my father actually wants me to lead the army south to rescue him?"

When Cao Zhi heard that his confidants had reported this news to him, his face was full of disbelief.

How could he not be self-aware?

When it comes to reciting poems and composing poems, he boasts that no one in the world can match his literary talent!

But how can it be done by oneself to lead an army in a conquest?

What's more, that's Guan Yu, who is already famous all over the world.

If you lead the troops yourself, wouldn't you be risking your own death?

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"I will definitely not disobey my father's orders!"

"But why can't we lead our troops to provide assistance?"

For a moment, Cao Zhi couldn't help but feel anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he was extremely anxious.

…

On the other hand, when Kuai Qi quickly informed the Crown Prince of Wei King Cao Cao's royal destiny, Cao Pi did not dare to show any slightest hesitation.

He immediately sent someone to Linzi Marquis Mansion to announce the appointment.

However, when the messenger arrived at the mansion, this was what he saw.

Cao Zhi was holding a wine jar and was very drunk.

There was no way he could accept the appointment.

Although he had a look of helplessness on his face when delivering the order, he could only quickly return and report the truth to the Crown Prince.

After hearing this, Cao Pi also knew the nature of his younger brother.

I have always liked drinking wine with others and reciting poems.

But I didn't expect that this time it would ruin the military aircraft event!

However, Cao Pi also knew that Cao Zhi was the general appointed by his father to lead the southern aid, and he did not dare to decide on the replacement of the general.

This can only make Kuaiqi rush to the Hanzhong front line again to report the truth.

After waiting for the news that Kuai Ma had left Yecheng, Cao Zhi, who was hiding in the mansion, woke up from drunkenness and instantly returned to normal thoughts.

Naturally, the fact that he was so drunk was a staged stunt.

Although he knew that this move might displease his father, in comparison, he was definitely not willing to lead the southern army.

Guan Yu's name is resounding throughout the world.

How much he weighs is very clear.

If this goes away, there is a high probability that the army will be defeated and the consequences will be more serious.

Moreover, if you are unlucky, you may be killed or captured.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Zhi decided to refuse to fight by pretending to be drunk.

Although this move may displease Nai's father, it can at least save his life.

When the Yecheng Kuaiqi arrived at the Hanzhong front line.

After hearing this, King Cao Cao of Wei couldn't help but get furious in an instant, "What? What is this traitor doing?"

"A catastrophe is imminent, yet you are still enjoying yourself in a dream of life and death?"

"How can I have such a son?"

When he finished speaking, he was undoubtedly furious.

Although he had been angry for a long time, he also knew that his angry expression could not solve the current predicament of Jingxiang.

So he also forcibly adjusted his mentality and his complexion calmed down.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly flashed out of his mind.

After a little thought, I already had a candidate.

"Pass the solitary order and quickly send people to Xudu to ban General Zuo, and order him to assemble the seven armies of the Central Plains, totaling more than 30,000 men, and lead the army south to rescue Xiangfan."

Cao Cao also quickly issued the order.

Xu Chu, the personal guard who was always on hand around him, also raised his hands and accepted the order with a serious look on his face.

Enable Yu Jin, this can be regarded as Cao Cao's last resort decision at this time.

Because now a third-line battlefield has been opened.

On each front, he had to arrange for his troops to be on guard, and they could not be easily mobilized.

But there are only a handful of generals who can use it for maneuver!

If it were not for the urgent need for power, he would not be willing to let Yu Jintong's Seventh Army assist Xiangfan against Guan Yu.

Yu Jin is indeed the first of the five good generals.

But things are different now. He has been away from the battlefield for more than ten years.

Over the years, he was mostly active in the rear and was responsible for farming and supporting the people.

But now there is no other way, the only one who can shoulder the important task is Yu Jin.

The king issued the order.

In addition, in order to ensure that he could fight against Guan Yu, Cao Cao also ordered Yan Xing, the Xiliang general who had previously taken refuge, to accompany the army.

After Yi Jin received the order, gathered his troops, and headed south along Wancheng to the vicinity of Fancheng, it was already late July.

At this time, the rainy season in Jingbei has lasted for nearly a month.

The surrounding roads are muddy!

After making contact with the defenders in Fancheng.

The commander-in-chief, Cao Rensui, also ordered him to stay in the ban, and Yan Xing's troops were stationed more than ten miles north of Fancheng. They formed a joint force with Fancheng to respond to the orders from the inside and outside.

The military information about Yu Jin coming with the Seventh Army could not be hidden from the Jingzhou Army.

General Guan Yu also received this military information immediately.

After hearing the scout's report, he unconsciously stretched out his hand to stroke the long fluttering beard under his jaw. Danfeng also opened his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Cao Cao is so stupid that he sent a farmer to rescue Fancheng."
