Cao Rui held his hands on the table, but he still couldn't control his body's trembling. His face was pale, and even his lips could not see any blood. His breath was heavy, even if Cao Rui was kneeling three steps away from him
, he could clearly hear his breathing, and even his rapid heartbeat.
Shunyang and Nanxiang, the two fortresses that guard the Wuguan Road waterway were lost.
More than 10,000 people, including two thousand cavalry, became prisoners of Wei Ba.
Wuqiu Jian and Guo Li, one is his ex-promoted old man in the East Palace, who can compete with the aristocratic family in the future, and the other is his beloved concubine Mrs. Guo’s uncle, both of whom were captured. Wuqiu Jian’s mistake led to a disastrous defeat.
Guo Li sent Wei Ba to two thousand cavalry.
The impact of this battle is not only two cities, more than 10,000 people, but also has a fatal impact on Cao Rui's principle of employing people. The infamous reputation of being nepotist and being close to others may not be able to escape, and the aristocratic family will definitely
Seize this opportunity to fight back.
"It's Wei Ba again!" Cao Rui gritted his teeth, his face getting whiter and his eyes getting redder.
Wei Ba appeared in his rear. Although his troops were not large, he successfully leveraged the situation in Nanyang. Now Cao Rui is facing a dilemma. If he wants to protect Wancheng, he can only give up Fancheng and give up Fancheng and Xiangyang.
, Nanyang's gate has already opened up and it is still impossible to defend in the end. If you do not retreat to Fancheng, Wancheng may fall into the hands of Wei Ba. Although Wei Ba's troops are limited and it seems that it is not enough to conquer Wancheng, Wei Ba
Which time wasn't unexpected? Who can guarantee that he could not conquer Wancheng? Once Wancheng is lost, they may be attacked by Wei Ba and Li Yan and suffer greater losses.
Not to mention outside the battle situation, Cao Rui will also face difficulties in the court.
It would be unrealistic to say that Cao Rui did not hate Wei Ba. In fact, Cao Rui now wished to swallow Wei Ba alive. He could understand Sun Quan's mood now. Although he was not very powerful, he could often stab him.
Who doesn't want to destroy your opponent in pain?
The last time was Guanzhong, will it be Nanyang this time?
Cao Rui was full of sorrow.
With a "pa", a celadon cup fell to the ground, and hot tea splattered everywhere, awakening Cao Rui and Cao Yu. Cao Rui looked back and saw Mrs. Guo's pale face. Mrs. Guo bit her lip and bent down to pick it up.
The fragments on the ground, the white and slender fingers were trembling constantly, and the porcelain pieces were clattering in her hands.
"Yeah, cough." Cao Rui coughed lightly: "King Yan, thank you for your hard work, go and rest first."
"Vei." Cao Yu responded, bowed and took a few steps back, turned and left. He sighed, suddenly regretting that he had known that he would have brought such a big shock to Cao Rui if he had known that he would have brought such a big shock to him when he returned to Fancheng, he should have first
Go back to Wancheng and write a memorial to Cao Rui so that he can be mentally prepared.
He now understood a little. Wei Ba let him go, probably not just because his wife was the seventh aunt of Tianshi Dao. Wei Ba used him quietly and influenced Cao Rui and hundreds of miles away.
The morale of the Wei army.
More than ten cavalry rushed over, and the news would soon spread throughout the camp.
Cao Yu secretly sighed that he no longer despises Xiahou Mao so much now. Although Wei Ba is young, his mind is so meticulous and he is so pervasive. It is really not an easy thing to be an opponent of such a person.
...
Peng Xiaoyu held a washing basin and watched two dusty knights leading the war horse to the waterside, untied the saddle without saying a word, and started washing the horse with a thick brush. She thought for a while, turned around and entered the tent,
He took out two bowls of hot porridge and a few pieces of bread, walked to the two knights, and said in a man's voice: "Two heroes, drink some hot porridge and warm up your body. You came back all night, I'm afraid it must be
Cold and hungry.”
The two knights looked up at her, unable to help but feel a little suspicious. However, they followed Cao Yu all the way from Shunyang, without a good rest for two days and two nights, nor had they eaten a bite of hot food. Now Cao Yu went to see him
I guess I could eat something hot, but they still had to wash the horses. It was indeed cold and hungry. It was really a bit cold and hungry to give them a sip of hot porridge. It really caught their vitals and left them unable to refuse.
The two of them didn't hesitate to take the porridge, picked up the bread, and started eating it in big mouthfuls. After a while, they ate it clean. Even the cake dregs were picked into their mouths, and the bowl was almost licked cleanly.
With hot food in them, their bodies warmed up a little, their faces eased a lot, and their attitude towards Peng Xiaoyu became more enthusiastic.
"Thank you girl."
"You're welcome, you are fighting for the country and you are not afraid of death. It's okay for me to give you some food." Peng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The battle in Shunyang must be very difficult, right? Our army has no navy, and the war horses are there
The mountains cannot be opened, so I think I will be subject to the hindrance everywhere.”
"Oh, don't mention it." When the two knights mentioned the war in Shunyang, they were all complaining and complaining. Peng Xiaoyu listened quietly, until someone seemed to come from a distance, and then they were satisfied.
Return.
She entered the account and just sat down, Peng Heng walked in: "What news have you heard?"
"The young master is in Shunyang and has captured Shunyang City, Cao Yu, Wuqiu Jian and Guo Li."
Peng Heng's eyes flashed: "It seems that he is really a little trick to use troops. He will resolve the war in Shunyang so quickly."
"Of course." Peng Xiaoyu said naturally: "The young master had used his skills at that time. He read books until late at night every day. Sometimes, for a question, he could not speak for a long time."
Peng Heng glanced at her and smiled silently. "Xiaoyu, let's escape, escape to Shunyang, and you won't have to live such a frightened life in the future."
"No, we are still too far away now and can't escape." Peng Xiaoyu lifted the black hair on her cheeks: "And there is no chaos here, and we have no chance to escape. We will only give up our lives if we act forcibly.
.”
Peng Heng frowned: "He said he would save us, but there was no movement at all."
"Why are you anxious? The young master keeps his word. He said he would save us, and he would definitely save us." Peng Xiaoyu was confident. She said with a smile: "But you, you must hurry up and practice martial arts. When you arrive at the young master's tent, you will be there.
Next, you will have the chance to make a contribution. Besides, if you can't subdue Chen Ming, even if you have the chance to escape from the camp, you will not be able to escape Chen Ming's pursuit."
"He, I have a way to deal with him." Peng Heng said relaxedly, but there was a little worry in his eyes. Although his martial arts were good, it was far from enough to compete with Chen Ming face to face, let alone he had to take the lead.
He ran away with his sister, and Chen Ming could not have no help.
This is also one of the reasons why he has never dared to take the risk of escaping.
...
Chang'an.
Zhao Su walked into the General's Mansion of Zhenbei with a smile. Seeing him in, Ma Su greeted him and bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work in Ming Mansion."
Zhao Su laughed and looked at Ma Su while returning the greeting: "Shi Ma, you are so polite, I feel a little confused. Last time you invited me to have a drink, so much from me
I asked for 150,000 s of grain, what are the ideas I want to make this time? I tell you, you have emptied all my grains, so don't make things difficult for me anymore. For this, I have been stabbed by someone on the backbone.
Now.”
Ma Su shook his head with a smile: "My Lord of Mingfu raised food and grass for the Prime Minister to go to the army. This credit is all recorded in the Prime Minister's credit book. The Prime Minister has surrounded Ji County, and Longyou is within his control. You are still worried that you will be missing by then.
The advantage? The people who farm will also benefit you all. It’s too late to thank you at that time, so why would you blame you?”
Zhao Su nodded with satisfaction and was very satisfied with Ma Su's attitude. When Ma Su first arrived in Guanzhong, they all thought that Ma Su and Zhuge Liang had the same heart as they came to Guanzhong to suppress the Wei father and son and fight for control of Guanzhong. They were originally dependent
Wei Ba was not welcome to Ma Su's arrival. But now he understood that Ma Su and Zhuge Liang were no longer the same relationship as before, and there were many conflicts between them. This time Zhuge Liang went out of Longyou and left Ma Su in Chang'an, but
Wei Yan was transferred to the army to obey orders, and his intention was very subtle. Ma Su raised food for Zhuge Liang to send troops, which was not as simple as serving Zhuge Liang's loyalty.
Zhao Su is very clear about this when they have differences, and Hanzhong people have the opportunity to make profits from it.
"Come on, take a look at this first." Ma Su handed over a military newspaper.
Zhao Su frowned inadvertently, but she took it over, but she looked a little more careful. Once the war broke out, money and food were the top priority. Whether these generals in the army were approaching them or threatening them, it was nothing more than
It is to suck bones and marrow.
However, Zhao Su's expression quickly changed: "Wei Zhennan took Shunyang, Nanxiang, and want to retake Wuguan Road?"
Ma Su nodded: "Yes, keep reading."
Zhao Su frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "General is ready to attack?"
Ma Su twisted his fingers and asked without answering a question: "Retake Wuguan Road again, and the goods from Jiaozhou will no longer need to rotate Wugu. From Wuguan Road to Guanzhong, the Duke should be able to understand the benefits in it, right?
Furthermore, Wei Zhennan never lets his friends suffer losses, and you know very well. Now he needs our help, the Du Jun said, can we stand by and watch?"
Zhao Su tilted his mouth and looked at Ma Su meaningfully, and knew Ma Su's intentions. What helped Wei Ba was obviously moved by Ma Su's heart. Wei Ba made such a great contribution at a young age.
, He has already attracted fear and will not rush to make contributions now. But Ma Su is different. So far, except for attacking Cao Rui in Xiangyang, he has not yet mentioned any military achievements. If he could attack with Wei Ba
Nanyang not only can he make contributions, but he can also get in touch with Li Yan. It is an opportunity to have the best of both worlds, so how could he let it go?
This battle was far more important to Ma Su than Wei Ba. No wonder Ma Su was so enthusiastic, and he brought out Wei Ba's face and reminded him of the commercial interests of Jiaozhou.
However, Zhao Su also had his own considerations. The benefits of opening up the Wuguan Road to Guanzhong and the benefits of Hanzhong people are self-evident. What's more, there is Wei Ba. Ma Su is so determined that his official position is far away.
Not as good as Wei Ba, can he steal the limelight from Wei Ba in the end?
"Well, I want to discuss with other families." Zhao Su sat down and put on a negotiation posture. "Can the Chief Secretary help me think about it and see what the most appropriate reason?"
