As it enters September, the weather in Guanzhong has gradually started to get colder.
But Cao Zhen's mood never seemed to match the weather outside.
When the weather was still hot before, Cao Zhen felt cold because of the rebellion of the Kansai family.
But now that the weather is getting colder, Cao Zhen's mood seems much hotter than before.
Of course, the reason why Cao Zhen is so inconsistent is not because he has any mental problems, but because of the letter he received from Wang Shuang.
This letter was sent to Cao Zhen not long ago by Wang Shuang, who ordered his people to rush forward quickly.
In this letter, Wang Shuang recounted the fact that he had escorted the grain and grass safely across Huaili and was now escorting the grain and grass to Wuzhang.
The facts reported by Wang Shuang made Cao Zhen feel like he could see the moonlight when the clouds cleared.
As we all know, although there are frequent rebellions in various places in Guanzhong at present, if we want to say which place has the most rebels, it is undoubtedly inside and outside Huaili City.
Previously, Cao Zhen would send Wang Shuang to escort the grain and grass transportation. He was worried that the thieves in Huaili City, led by Su Ze, would send troops to attack the grain transportation team.
But now we know from Cao Zhen's report that when he led his army through Huaili City, he was not attacked by a large number of thieves.
This fact objectively verified that Liu Ye's suggestion was correct.
And more importantly, if the thieves in Huaili City cannot send troops to attack their own grain transport team, let alone other counties?
Is it possible that the three melons and two dates in Wugong County have such courage?
Is this totally funny?
Cao Zhen believed that his inference was well founded.
And this inference made Cao Zhen feel better a little bit.
As long as the food road can be smooth, then he will have the confidence to fight a protracted war with Mi Yang.
After all, in less than two months, the cold winter will come to Guanzhong.
With his mood improving, Cao Zhen rarely had time to call Liu Ye to have a drink with him.
A proper drink can relieve the mood that has been depressed recently.
While changing cups, Cao Zhen smiled and said to Liu Ye:
"Zi Yang is really a great talent.
If our army can turn the crisis into safety this time, I will definitely protect Ziyang as the ninth minister.
As for if Yang continues to make contributions to the Wei Dynasty in the future, why can't Yang, the third prince, win?"
Cao Zhen's words were obviously drunk.
After hearing Cao Zhen's promise, Liu Ye looked overjoyed, but in his heart, he knew better than anyone else that he could not become the third Duke of Wei.
Even with his status, it would be extremely difficult for him to ascend to the position of Jiuqing.
Liu Ye knew all this very well.
He has been plotting for Cao Zhen and becoming an enemy of Mi Yang, and it was not for the sake of honor and wealth.
Liu Ye's idea is very simple, he just wants to protect himself.
That was why he defected to Cao Cao back then, and now he is determined to suppress the Han Dynasty and prevent the Han Dynasty from reviving.
Because Liu Ye knew very well that once the Han Dynasty could be revived, he, a member of the Han clan, would inevitably be liquidated by Liu Bei.
Clan is more important than anything else. Before clan etiquette, everyone is their master and will not be recognized by the world.
The thoughts in his heart were not enough for outsiders to understand. Liu Ye, with a smile on his face, drank a glass of wine that Cao Zhen poured for him. After drinking the glass of wine, Liu Ye had another plan to offer to Cao Zhen.
But before Liu Ye could say anything, one of Cao Zhen's personal guards ran in from outside the tent in a panic.
When he saw the panicked figure of this personal guard, Cao Zhen did not react at first due to the influence of his drunkenness.
But even after a while, Cao Zhen noticed the panic of the personal guard, Cao Zhen's heart did not fluctuate much.
"But the bandits have sent troops to attack my camp in Weibei again?"
In Cao Zhen's opinion, this may be the only thing that can make the personal guards panic.
In the past few days, the Han army had never attacked the Wei camp in Wuzhangyuan, but attacks on the Wei camp in Weibei were frequent.
However, despite the high morale of the Han army and the tiger general Zhao Yun, facing Guo Huai's persistence, the Han army has been unable to achieve great results in Weibei.
With what happened in the past, Cao Zhen naturally would not be worried about the Han army's new offensive.
But to Cao Zhen's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard standing in front of him replied with a trembling voice:
"No, not Weibei!"
"If it's not Weibei, then where is it?"
Cao Zhen looked at the bodyguard with doubtful eyes.
Under Cao Zhen's gaze, the guards almost cried in panic.
"It's Wugong River!
Thousands of bandit troops appeared on the east bank of the Wugong River!"
After hearing that the Han army had appeared on the east bank of the Wugong River, Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then stood up from his seat.
How could the Han army appear on the east bank of the Wugong River, which is behind Wuzhangyuan!
Impossible, absolutely impossible, this is probably the plan of a certain Kansai family head!
If that's the case, why are you panicking?
As long as the Han army's field troops did not circle around to the east bank of the Wugong River, there was really no need to worry too much based on the combat effectiveness of the family's soldiers.
Cao Zhen, who felt that the personal guard had falsely conveyed the news, gradually became colder. Seeing the change in Cao Zhen's face, the personal guard was really crying in a hurry.
"General, please go to Wugong River and have a look in person!"
Seeing what his personal guard said, Cao Zhen decided to go to Wugong Water to investigate in person, just in case.
So after he looked at Liu Ye beside him, he quickly strode out of the tent and walked towards the Wugong River.
While Cao Zhen and Liu Ye were rushing towards the Wugong River, other Wei generals in the Wei army camp who had received the news were also rushing towards the Wugong River.
Wuzhangyuan is not far from Wugong River. Cao Zhen and a group of Wei generals arrived at the west bank of Wugong River soon after riding horses at a gallop.
After arriving at the west bank of the Wugong River, Cao Zhen saw at a glance the Han army entrenched on the other bank and building fortifications.
When they saw this scene, Cao Zhen and the other Wei generals almost didn't notice and fell off their horses.
Like Wang Shuang, Cao Zhen and other Wei generals fought with the Han army many times and were extremely familiar with the Han army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They can tell at a glance whether the people appearing on the east bank of Wugong River are really Han army field troops.
But the question is, how did the Han army suddenly reach the east bank of the Wugong River?
Can anyone explain it to them?
Looks of disbelief appeared on the faces of Cao Zhen and all the Wei generals, and at the same time as the disbelief appeared on their faces, there was also a solemn look.
From the intelligence we just received, we know that the number of enemy troops present on the east bank of Wugong River is thousands.
But when a group of Wei generals investigated on the spot, they found that the number of enemy troops on the other side was more than a few thousand?
At a glance, it’s almost 10,000!
Although among the nearly 10,000 enemy troops on the other side, only a few thousand were wearing the standard armor of the Han army, and most of the remaining enemy troops seemed to be soldiers of aristocratic families.
It can be seen from the actions of the enemy troops on the other side that they want to set up camp on the other side.
Once the fortress is built, the clan soldiers can also exert considerable combat effectiveness by relying on the protection of the fortress.
After thinking of this, how could Cao Zhen and other Wei generals not feel solemn.
And as the disbelief and solemn mood continued to mix, General Wei, who reacted a little faster, soon thought of something thrilling for them.
Nearly ten thousand enemy troops were camped on the east bank of Wugong River, and they were bound to hold on.
So what is the purpose of their persistence?
It must be food!
It was the batch of vital grain and fodder that Wang Shuang was ordered to escort!
After thinking of this incident, all the Wei generals could not help but look at Cao Zhen with horrified eyes.
And what the Wei generals can think of, how could Cao Zhen not think of it?
Because of the cold wind blowing on the Wugong River, most of Cao Zhen's drunkenness had already disappeared.
As Cao Zhen's wisdom returned one after another, Cao Zhen's hand on the reins was trembling.
Cao Zhen turned his head stiffly and glared at Liu Ye fiercely, then he jumped off the horse in despair.
After jumping off the horse, Cao Zhen staggered forward towards the martial arts water.
Cao Zhen didn't want to dive, he wanted to get closer to the martial arts water so that he could see clearly whether there were the things he least wanted to see in the bandit camp on the other side.
Flags, armor, and provisions.
If these things that originally belonged to the Wei army appeared on the other side, then do we still need to think about the fate of Wang Shuang's grain transport team?
Cao Zhen's actions quickly attracted the attention of the Han army on the other side.
After learning about Cao Zhen's arrival from the Han army's report, Zhou Tai and Meng Da, who were directing the soldiers to set up camp, quickly issued an order.
After issuing this order, Zhou Tai and Meng Da took Su Ze and others to the shore and faced Cao Zhen across the water.
Wugong River is a tributary of the Wei River. The water surface is not very wide. The water is separated by it, which is enough for Cao Zhen and Zhou Tai and others on the other side to see each other.
Cao Zhen didn't know Zhou Tai and Meng Da, but he knew Su Ze.
When he saw Su Ze standing consciously behind Zhou Tai and Meng Da, he knew that these two people were probably the generals sent by Mi Yang.
Cao Zhen looked at Zhou Tai and Meng Da seriously for a long time. Due to the worry in his heart, Cao Zhen even wanted to call someone directly to spy on some information.
But the Han army's next move made Cao Zhen give up this idea.
I saw bursts of smoke and dust rising, and blood-stained grain carts were being pushed from the Han army's camp.
The grain carts not only contained grain, but also many tattered flags and armors.
Under the push of the Han army, grain carts were soon pushed in front of Zhoutai and Mengda.
This angle and this distance are enough to ensure that every Wei general, including Cao Zhen, can clearly see the objects on the grain cart.
After seeing the objects on the grain cart, all the Wei generals showed horror on their faces, and Cao Zhen even covered his chest with his hands.
Just like that day, he felt the blood surge in his chest and abdomen, and a fishy-sweet blood was rushing to his throat.
It's over.
Those grain carts represent the hope of Cao Zhen, and the hope of tens of thousands of Wei troops.
But now this hope is tightly held in the hands of the Han army.
This means that their hopes are over!
What a tragic thing this is?
Powerful emotions of grief and anger were rapidly attacking Cao Zhen's brain, and the sweet and fishy feeling in his mouth was getting stronger and stronger.
And just when Cao Zhen was trying to suppress his inner emotions, the words shouted by the Han army on the opposite side completely made Cao Zhen unable to hold back.
"My great general, thank you Cao Zidan for the gift of food!"
"My great general, thank you Cao Zidan for the gift of food!"
...
The shouts came from the mouths of hundreds of Han soldiers, crossing the water of martial arts water, and penetrated directly into Cao Zhen's head as if they turned into sharp blades.
At this moment, Cao Zhen could no longer suppress the grief and anger in his heart.
A mouthful of bright blood spurted out from Cao Zhen's mouth and sprinkled on the martial arts water in front of him.
Cao Zhen's act of vomiting blood caught everyone on both sides of the Taiwan Strait by surprise.
A group of Wei generals behind Cao Zhen saw Cao Zhen vomiting blood, and they quickly stepped forward to support Cao Zhen's crumbling body.
"General! What's wrong with you!"
"General! Are you okay?"
But the eager greetings from the generals fell on Cao Zhen's ears, which made Cao Zhen's grief and anger even stronger.
Cao Zhen used all his strength to break away from the support of the surrounding generals.
The pain that kept coming from his heart made Cao Zhen keep covering his chest with his hands.
"go back!
Go back quickly!"
Cao Zhen's voice was hoarse and cold, with an obvious weakness.
Cao Zhen's tone frightened the surrounding Wei generals and they didn't know what to do.
In a hurry, all the Wei generals could only follow Cao Zhen's staggering figure and quickly return to the Wuzhangyuan camp.
Compared to the panic of the Wei generals, Liu Ye, who was among the Wei generals, suddenly felt a biting coldness.
If the seizure of food and grass would not cause Cao Zhen to do anything to him, then what about the words that the Han army shouted just now?
Liu Ye turned around and took a deep look at the Han army on the other side.
He felt the deep malice coming from Mi Yang.
After the Wei generals hurriedly followed Cao Zhen and retreated, Zhou Tai, Meng Da, Su Ze and others on the other side couldn't help but look at each other.
They could see the look of gloating in each other's eyes.
Although as a general in charge of the army and a famous figure in the world, I should pay attention to propriety in my actions, but I really can't help it!
Soon bursts of hearty laughter echoed along the east bank of Wugong Water.
So happy, so happy!
Smiling, Meng Da took out the warrant Mi Yang gave him before he left Xiwei.
Chen Liang’s martial arts can destroy the enemy’s will!
These eight short words were fatal to Wei Jun.
And the reason why Meng Da took out this warrant at this time is also a subtle proof that this murderous and heartbreaking thing was not his idea!
After killing people, you also need to punish people's hearts. This is indeed the style of the general.
...
Let’s not talk about how Cao Zhen recovered from his injuries after escaping to the Wuzhangyuan camp.
What happened on both sides of the Wugong River was soon in Mi Yang's hands.
When Mi Yang learned that his murderous plan was successful, he immediately summoned a group of Han generals.
After the generals arrived, Mi Yang briefly explained the current battle situation.
Then a smile appeared on his face and he said:
"A few days ago, the Prime Minister observed the stars at night and sent me a message saying: Swordsmen rise in Weibei, and there should be generals falling five feet away!"
As soon as Mi Yang said these words, all the generals in the military tent stood up as fast as they could in their lives.
"General, I am willing to take Guo Huai's head!"
"General, please look at me!"
...
The fierce words of invitation to fight instantly overwhelmed the entire military tent.
A man should be a prince, and he is willing to use the sword of Han to invite the stars to fall! If you like Mi Han, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han's novel search website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
