Cao De was very depressed. In just a blink of an eye, Jizhou was gone.
Then in the blink of an eye, Bingzhou was gone!
Is it possible that even God favors the Xu family army, and the world is destined to fall into the hands of this group of rebellious armies?
Looking at Sima Fang who was kneeling on the ground and wanted to resign, Cao De was silent for a long time and waved his hand, saying forget it.
He has always been suspicious of others and not suspicious of employing people. Sima Fang has been supporting him since he was young. In this situation, even if he had known about his intention to conceal it for a long time, there was no point in worrying about it.
Xu Jiajun is so fast. Even if Sima Fang had told him in advance, would they be able to compete with each other in terms of speed?
Cao De took a deep breath, covered his forehead, and frowned in pain.
From the time he started his career as a young man to today, this Xu Jiajun was the first powerful enemy that he felt he had no way to deal with.
The first is the name of the opponent's troops.
They just wanted to rebel, and they made it clear that they were rebelling against the imperial court and the entire Zhao family.
Therefore, the methods he used to deal with princes everywhere could not cause them any moral harm at all.
He was unable to suppress the Xu family army with the imperial power and imperial edict, and the Heng Emperor who was guarding him lost his original role.
And this kind of group that was outside the imperial power system was considered heresy to the entire Central Plains court.
Cao De took a deep breath and suddenly said softly: "The top priority is that we can only unite with Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places to jointly resist the Xu family's army."
Resist, this is the first time Cao De has used it against other forces on this continent.
"Liangzhou is particularly critical. Let me tell General Guan again that we must capture Liangzhou before the Xu family army does!" Cao De said seriously.
As for the matter of negotiating with Liangzhou and uniting with each other, Cao De did not dare to consider it at all.
Beidi is such a big trouble, whoever takes over will be unlucky. It would be better if the Ma family in Liangzhou could kill Beidi.
But I can tell with my feet that the conceited young man of the Ma family would be reluctant to push such a good opportunity away.
As long as he accepts Beidi...there is no other way, Cao De can only kill him, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two puppet emperors of the Zhao family in one piece of Central Plains.
at the same time.
Just when Sima Fang was depressed about his failure to resign, Xu Yue in the northern capital of Bingzhou also received news from his father.
[Beidi has fled into Liangzhou territory]
Sun Ashan, who came back first, said: "Chief, in order to pursue the Northern Emperor, we entered the territory of the Southern Huns and lost a lot of men. That's why the Patriarch gave up the pursuit of the Northern Emperor and ordered us to withdraw."
Xu Yue nodded and said she understood. She believed that her father had his own considerations.
Moreover, barbarians like the Xiongnu are indeed difficult to deal with. My dad did not have many men to pursue Beidi this time. If we piss off the Huns, we may suffer unnecessary sacrifices when we do not have an advantage in numbers.
.
"You are tired too, go down and rest first." Xu Yue waved her hand and asked the disgraced Sun Ashan to rest first.
Sun Ashan hugged his fists in emotion, and then led the other Huokang Gang disciples to retreat.
The next day, Xu Da, who was one step behind, led his large troops back to the camp on the outskirts of Beidu.
When Xu Yue got the news, Xu Dalang rushed over to join them, and saw his father and mother-in-law, dressed in casual clothes, teasing their two grandsons in front of the tent door.
Kingfisher, wearing an ill-fitting military uniform, stood by the door, looking intently.
From the corner of his eye, he saw brother and sister Xu Yue approaching. They immediately raised their hands and gave a military salute to the Xu family army, "Hello, chief! Hello, young general!"
During the time when the Xu Yue brothers and sisters led the Xu family's army to fight on the front line, the kingfishers were watching over the twins.
Although I have never been on the battlefield and killed anyone, I have been running behind a large army for more than half a month and have seen the cruelty of the battlefield. It seems that I have matured a lot overnight.
She no longer chatted and liked to cling to her sister Xu Yue as before, but tried her best to take good care of the twins, eliminating Xu Yue and others' worries.
Xu Yue smiled at the little girl who was trying her best to look like an adult. She took out a red tomato from the research room and handed it to her.
"Take it and eat it. You can also take a rest. Thank you very much for helping us take care of the Northeast Plains during these days."
"Ah?" Kingfisher didn't hold back for a moment, blushed in embarrassment, and quickly straightened up and said loudly:
"You're welcome, chief. This is what I should do. It is my responsibility to take good care of the two little gods!"
Xu Yue looked at her serious look amusedly, "Go and have a rest. I'll call you if I need anything. Remember to wash the tomatoes before eating them."
The kingfisher did not refuse this time. He agreed and returned to his dormitory happily holding the tomatoes.
Wang Pingping walked over with Xu Pingyuan in her arms, glanced at the tomatoes in Kingfisher's hand, "Have the supplies been delivered?"
Xu Yue nodded, "The seeds have been delivered, and the rest of the supplies are still to come. They should arrive in the next two days."
There is still enough food and grass in the military camp, and supplies will be available in two days. There is no need to worry about food and grass problems, and Wang Pingping feels a little at ease.
"Auntie, give me a hug!" Xu Pingyuan reached out his hands enthusiastically, asking Xu Yue to hug her.
The aunt and nephew have been separated for a long time. They knew that their aunt was going to war, so the two little cats were obedient and did not clamor to see their aunt.
But now that the battle seems to be over, Xu Pingyuan can't wait to kiss and hug his aunt.
Maybe it's because the two sisters look alike, but the twins particularly like their aunt and think she smells like their mother.
Xu Yue smiled and took her little niece into her arms, and rubbed her cheek against the little guy's tender face, causing her little niece to push her head in disgust.
"It's so itchy, please don't~" Xu Pingyuan refused with a milky voice, and Xu Yue stopped moving and asked her: "Do you miss me?"
Xu Pingyuan nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
After that, "Baji" kissed Xu Yue on the face to express his longing.
Xu Dalang thought the little guy looked very cute. He suddenly remembered Xu Yue when he was young and joked:
"What about uncle? Do you miss uncle?"
Xu Pingyuan seemed to have just remembered that his uncle was there. He turned around to search for his figure in surprise, and then said euphemistically: "I have a little thought."
Xu Dalang: "..."
"I think! I miss my uncle!" Xu Dongbei rushed over like a cannonball, jumped directly into Xu Dalang's arms, and hung on him: "Hold high, lift high!"
Xu Dalang couldn't resist such enthusiasm, so he helplessly lifted Xu Dongbei and put him on his neck.
The child likes the adult's perspective the most. The suddenly elevated world makes him feel very happy, and he eagerly urges his uncle to go somewhere else. He wants to see the new territory.
"I want it too!" Xu Pingyuan struggled to slip out of Xu Yue's arms and chase his brother and uncle.
