Xun Yu looked at the medicinal herb called Angelica in the box, frowned, and looked through the box again, but it was empty.
Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin were also suspicious after looking at each other. After looking at each other, they could not figure out the meaning.
"Can the servant put something wrong?" Le Jin guessed.
"No, this is the box given to me by the king himself, and I also watched the king put something in with my own eyes. Although I didn't see clearly what it was at that time, I can conclude that the king would not make any mistakes." Cao Chun
Shaking his head and saying.
"That's strange. The king put a medicinal herb in. What does it mean?" Yu Jin also had difficulty and couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Xun Yu giggled and said slowly: "I understand what the king means. Generals, have the king ever given any instructions before you leave?"
Cao Chun said: "The king only said one thing, let us all obey the orders of the Prime Minister."
Then, Xun Yu asked about the battle situation of Cao Chun and others. When he learned that Yan's army divided troops into five groups to capture the Wei State, he frowned unknowingly, lowered his eyes and looked at the Angelica in his hand.
, said to myself: "It seems that the king has already planned a way out, otherwise he would not have handed over the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains... Angelica Angelica is to let me rush back as soon as possible... Once
Withdrawal from Dingtao, the Yan army will form a clamping force..."
Cao Chun said: "Sir, what do you mean by giving up a great country and giving away great lands?"
"It's nothing. You should be tired from traveling a long distance. Let's take a day off today. I'll send troops to attack the Yan army camp early tomorrow morning." In just a moment, Xun Yu had already thought of a complete plan in his mind and made Cao Chun
Waiting for someone to say.
Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin didn't say anything. The four of them "promise" and left the hall together.
After leaving the hall and walking a few steps, Cao Chun stopped and said to Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin and the other two behind him: "You come to the room with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he went straight to his guest room. Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin looked at each other and followed.
When he arrived at the room, Cao Chun sat on the edge of the bed and said to Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin and the other three: "Three generals, please sit down."
Although Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin didn't understand why Cao Chun suddenly called them to come to the room, they all felt a little unusual.
Cao Chun is Cao Ren's younger brother. He has always been the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry throughout the Wei Kingdom and is highly trusted by Cao Cao. Although he is not as high as Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin in his official positions, he has real power after all.
.
On the other hand, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin were named Generals, but they led only a thousand troops, and sometimes they were always commanders. The most depressing thing was Yu Jin. After the Wei army occupied Qingzhou, Cao Cao first appointed Yu Jin as the governor of Qingzhou.
Leading 30,000 troops to guard Qingzhou to prevent the Yan army in Hebei. However, Yu Jin was the governor of Qingzhou for only a month, Cao Cao transferred him back to Changyi, and instead appointed Xiahou Yuan as the governor of Qingzhou, and at the same time he was the governor of Xuzhou and commanded him.
All the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin sat down separately and bowed together, saying, "Don't you know what happened to General Cao?"
Cao Chun said with a dark face: "The three generals have been following the king for a long time, right? I remember that when the king was invited to raise an army to attack the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the three generals had already surrendered to the king. At that time, they were still one of the king's subordinates.
Will, right?"
Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin all nodded, but did not say anything, looking at Cao Chun, looking forward to his next sentence.
"The three generals have been following the king for a long time, and have been through life and death, and have turned the situation around many times. General Li, if I remember correctly, you blocked a cold arrow for the king, right?" Cao Chun continued.
Li Dian nodded and said, "It's all old things, why do you still mention him?"
"Haha, there are some things that are necessary to mention. General Le, I remember that you once blocked a knife for the king. That knife almost killed you. Until now, the scar on your chest is still clearly visible..."
"General Cao, it is my duty to live and die for the king, even if I die, I will have no regrets." Le Jin interrupted Cao Chun's words and said.
Seeing Cao Chun shifting his gaze to him, Yu Jin hurriedly said, "I'm ashamed to say that I have followed the king for five years and participated in countless battles between big and big ones, but I have never blocked a sword or a sword for the king..."
"Ah... General Yu's words are wrong. I think that when the Qingzhou soldiers invaded the emperor's rebellion, Xiahou Yuanrang was seriously dereliction of duty and could not be stopped for a while. The Qingzhou soldiers once attacked the king's main business. If General Yu had not led his troops in time, he would have suppressed the prisoner's rebellion.
The Qingzhou soldiers, the king and us who were in trouble have already gone to see the King of Hell, so General Yu has made the greatest contribution."
After saying that, Cao Chun stopped, looked around again at Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin and the other two, and then said: "The reason why I brought up the old things again is to let the three generals know that the three generals are Wei.
I even remember what the king and Wei State did, let alone the king. Moreover, the king often mentioned three generals by my side. The reason why he kept the three generals in Changyi was to prevent the three.
The general charges in battle because he cherishes the three generals, which is a manifestation of gratitude. In addition, the official positions and salary of the three generals are far higher than that of our Cao family and Xia Hou family, which is enough to see
Out, the king loves the three generals very much.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the injustice and inner displeasures of Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin seemed to be released at this moment, as if it was really like Cao Chun said, Cao Cao would not let them lead troops.
It is an indisputable fact that they have left them in Changyi for their own good. Moreover, the three of them have higher official positions than the other Cao and Xiahou clans, and their salaries are greater than that of them.
The three of them looked at each other and felt that Cao Chun was beating the drums for them, and they understood what Cao Chun said. However, the three of them had been with Cao Chun for not a year or two, and they were still very good at Cao Chun.
It is clearer that they do not think Cao Chun can say this. What he said today is likely to be instructed by Cao Cao.
The Wei army has become defeated. From Xun Yu's words just now, it can be seen that Cao Cao intends to ask Xun Yu to withdraw his troops from Dingtao, that is, he deliberately gave up the opportunity to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. It is probably because Cao Cao is afraid of his own at this time.
There will be a phenomenon of treason within, so using Cao Chun's mouth, I will give the three of them a shot first.
Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin have worked together for many years. In some things, they can understand each other with just one look. So after looking at each other, they said in unison: "General Cao, don't worry, the king is for us.
OK, I will never forget it.”
"Okay! With these words from three generals, I'll feel relieved. The Prime Minister asked us to attack the Yan army camp tomorrow, which must have its meaning. Please have some rest tonight and wait for tomorrow, three generals.
Early in the morning, we will join forces to kill the enemy and kill ten and eight Yan generals, which will be a waste of time to come to Dingtao." Seeing that the three of them had expressed their opinions, Cao Chun patted his thigh and said.
After leaving Cao Chun's room, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and didn't speak, but just walked forward side by side.
After walking for a few steps, Li Dian first broke the silence and said, "Do you think Cao Chun's words have other meanings?"
"It's obvious that the king is still worried about us, worried that we will betray the king at this time and deliberately use Cao Chun's mouth to tell us. Cao Chun's actions are interfering with his own ideas. The king has always been suspicious, and it is inevitable that he will be in trouble.
I would be worried, even if it were me, I would be worried like a king.” Yu Jin first analyzed.
Le Jin nodded and said, "It is human nature. The king treats us well. When there are many disasters and difficulties, how can we betray the king? If we betray the king, it will definitely be a bit insult to the king.
of."
"I don't know if I can withstand the attack of the Yan army this time. So many strong winds and langs have come over. I hope I can safely overcome this dangerous hurdle." Li Dian said.
Yu Jin shook his head and said, "From the current situation, the king seems to have already made plans to give up Yanzhou, otherwise he would not have let the Prime Minister withdraw his troops from here. I think the king wants to go to Yingchuan, but Xiahou Yuan was not secret before yesterday.
Have you escorted the king's family away? Now, except for Yingchuan, there are 10,000 troops enough to resist the Yan army's attack, other places have already fallen."
The three of them had different ideas in their minds and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin assembled two thousand cavalry at the city gate, and Xun Yu was waiting there early.
Xun Yu was wearing a very neat dress today, wearing a black robe and a square scarf on his head. Seeing Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin and four others coming with their troops, they bowed and said, "Four Generals,
Today, you only need to win, not lose, otherwise you will likely be wiped out here."
Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin looked at each other, but none of the four said anything. They all looked strong and could not see any fear. Even the soldiers behind them were the same.
Yu Jin took a step forward, turned over and dismounted, bowed to Xun Yu and said, "Master, I will ask you boldly. Since the king gave it to the Prime Minister Angelica, and the Prime Minister also guessed the meaning of it, why not
If you evacuate this place quickly, you will have to attack the Yan army camp first?"
Xun Yu said: "My move is to advance and retreat. If our army retreats rashly, Han Meng has a sharp sense of smell and is mainly cavalry. He only needs to chase after thousands of cavalry and can rush me along the way.
The army killed everything. Therefore, if you want to leave this place safely, you must first hit Han Meng. Therefore, the attacks of the four generals today are particularly important."
Yu Jin nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that, without any doubts, he turned over and went out of the city with Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin and others, and did as Xun Yu had told him before.
