In the Divine Capital City, in the General's Mansion, Yang Ming learned the news immediately.
The chamberlain group has some troops in their hands, and it is a very important move to recruit some generals who have defected to their faction to return to the divine capital.
And Cao Su accepted 20,000 elite cavalry, which was an important force that could change the local battlefield.
Therefore, Yang Ming paid close attention to Cao Su's developments and felt relieved after knowing that Cao Su was rushing back from Xizhou without stopping.
Unexpectedly, I was stopped by Zhu Ming in Xiguan.
"Why should Zhu Ming stop Cao Su? Why?"
Yang Ming was furious and wanted to throw the vase.
Most important people want to throw a vase when they are angry.
Yang Ming's younger brother Yang Rui, who had served as the guard general of Xiguan, sneered: "Zhu Ming said that when Cao Su returned to the capital, there was no emperor's edict and it was not in compliance with the regulations. Therefore, he lacked the customs clearance procedures and was not allowed to enter the customs."
"It's a joke, the emperor has not yet been established, where are the procedures?"
"This person has clearly turned to the eunuchs, and now he is deliberately delaying time, intercepting Cao Su and others, and ruining our plan."
Yang Ming is so smart. After a little calculation, he figured it out.
This can be seen from this.
His fight with the chamberlain group headed by Wang Xian has gradually spread from the court to the outer hall, and has moved from covertly to openly.
Yang Rui said worriedly: "Now that Cao Su has been intercepted, the troops we deployed in the capital of God may not be as good as theirs."
Yang Ming fell into deep thought.
He paced back and forth in the hall, frowning, thinking about countermeasures.
Yang Rui did not dare to disturb his brother, so he remained calm and silent.
After a while, Yang Ming stopped pacing back and forth.
Yang Rui cheered up and knew that his brother had a countermeasure.
The elder brother has always been like this. The two brothers have never seen or experienced any big storms, haven't they all come through this? Nothing can stump the elder brother.
Yang Ming sighed: "This move is really powerful."
"Zhu Ming is the guard general of Xiguan appointed by the late emperor. He is a third-level master. It is said that he has supernatural powers. This man is loyal to the late emperor and has great righteousness. He sticks to Xiguan and protects the sacred capital. Without the emperor's edict, foreign troops are not allowed to enter the pass.
.”
"Although Cao Su's command is a forbidden army, when it comes out of Xiguan, it is a foreign army."
"Zhu Ming's move is too harsh, but from the perspective of our dynasty's system, there is nothing wrong with it."
"We can accuse him of not being flexible, but we cannot easily move him, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
Yang Ming couldn't think of a way to solve the matter.
He paused and returned his gaze to Yang Rui.
"Arui, I'm afraid you have to take action personally on this matter."
"I?"
Yang Rui asked in confusion: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Yang Ming said: "You have been stationed in Xiguan for many years and know many deputy generals in Xiguan. Cao's army enters the pass and the general does not speak, so naturally he cannot pass. But what if the general is not there one day?"
Yang Rui said in a daze: "It is a capital crime to invade the customs without permission!"
"Besides, in this case, even if the deputy general can be released, Cao Su may not be willing to leave!"
Yang Ming stared at him and scolded: "You don't understand this?"
"After passing the customs in the future, Cao Su will no longer be a foreign soldier. Since he is not a foreign soldier, he will be an internal army of the Divine Capital and one of the captains of the Forbidden Army. Why not return to the Divine Capital?"
Yang Rui understood, but he still fell into a strange thinking circle, thinking that Cao Su had always been a foreign army.
Little did they know that once Cao Su crossed the gate of Xiguan, he automatically changed from a foreign army to an internal army. This is an extremely important point.
"In addition, from now on, the captains of the Northern Army will be transferred to the capital."
"There are still some naval forces in the Northern Army. You should also go and take a look at the Northern Army tomorrow to see how many large ships can still sail across the river."
After opening his mind, Yang Ming gradually became more comfortable.
He spoke in an orderly manner, arranging things one by one.
........
........
Outside Xiguan, Cao's army was intercepted by Zhu Ming and needed further supplies.
This place no longer looks like a grassland desert, and supplies are more difficult.
Cao Su stayed outside Xiguan for two days, and then led three thousand fine cavalry to the north.
The movements of the three thousand fine cavalry were not small. As soon as they left the camp, they were immediately seen by the defenders of Xiguan Pass.
Cao Su didn't hide anything from a few people. He led his army in such a mighty manner that no one knew where he was going.
Several generals in Cao Su's army were also at a loss.
Cao Su ordered Zhang Ke, Luo Yi, and Li Li to guard the army. He took Ma Chao, Shi Yong, and others all the way north, and soon arrived at the Luoshui River.
The Luoshui River was so powerful that it blocked the path of Cao Su and others.
"It's a pity that most of our troops are cavalry. Otherwise, going down the Luo River would be the only way."
Taking the water route is a bad idea. The reason why Cao Su's troops are now popular is precisely because of the attributes of cavalry.
Twenty thousand might be the largest number of cavalry in the entire Divine Capital.
It is definitely impossible for Cao Su to give up his cavalry, and there are not so many ships to transport them by water.
Therefore, we can only pass through Xiguan.
Since arriving in Xiguan.
His contact with Qin Hu, Wei Kai and others was severed.
Could it be that it is more difficult for the messenger to deliver it after crossing Xiguan?
He didn't understand this either, so he made his own decision and led his army northward.
After going north to reach Luoshui, we then headed west and walked a long way along Luoshui.
One day later, Cao Su arrived at Guyuan City, an important town in Yongzhou.
The lord of Guyuan City is an old scribe in his seventies. He got married and established a business in Guyuan City, and has lived peacefully for decades.
There is usually no wind or disaster here, and it is very peaceful.
Therefore, this place was classified as an important trading town by the imperial court, and a lot of materials were stored there.
The lord of Gu Yuan City never expected this.
Last night he was eating dong soup and singing songs. When he woke up early this morning, the city was "surrounded" by the imperial army.
He thought he had not woken up, so he immediately slapped the soldier who reported the news twice.
The soldier was stunned and immediately let out a loud cry.
"Not a dream?"
"Where did the Forbidden Army come from? Shouldn't the Forbidden Army be in the capital of God? What are you doing here in Guyuan City?"
The lord of Guyuan City was horrified. He quickly put on the armor that he had not touched for decades, and hurriedly walked onto the city wall under the protection of his own soldiers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as he arrived at the city wall, he found a majestic figure waiting for him on the city wall.
This figure faced away from him, and only turned around after he arrived.
I saw that the person who came was more than eight feet long, with a majestic appearance, fully armored, with a horizontal sword hanging from his waist. He was majestic and imposing.
Chun Yuhua, the lord of Guyuan City, suddenly panicked and subconsciously looked at his messy outfit.
I feel like I am dressed too casually.
"This...general, how do you call him?"
Chun Yuhua looked at Cao Su's attire and could only tell that Cao Su was a military attache above the rank of captain, but he didn't know what his specific position was.
He secretly looked out along the wall, and saw a troop of thousands of elite cavalry emerging from outside the city.
Is this the cavalry that this person brought here? Where did the cavalry come from?
Chun Yuhua racked his brains, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and remembered the origin of the person in front of him.
"It turns out that Cao Pingxi is in charge. Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I have never seen Cao Pingxi's appearance, but I couldn't recognize you right away!"
Chun Yuhua was also very polite and had a relatively low-key attitude.
Cao Su smiled and said: "Chun Yu City Lord, I have admired you for a long time!"
Chunyu Hua was stunned. He was just the lord of a small city. Cao Su actually said "I have admired him for a long time"?
This made him a little flattered. You must know that Cao Su was General Pingxi, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. In terms of official rank, he was higher than Chunyu Hua.
Chunyu Hua couldn't help but look happy: "Cao Pingxi actually recognizes the official?"
"I wonder if Lord Chunyu ever knew a general named 'Chunyu Shuang'?"
Chunyu Hua blurted out: "How could I not recognize him? Chun Yushuang is Xiaguan's eldest grandson. Is this little guy now a general? Xiaguan only knows that he is in Hu Qi Xiaowei's camp."
"Yes, Chun Yushuang is very good. I am preparing to promote him to a thousand-man general in our army."
Cao Su said with a smile, and told Chunyu Hua his plans for Chunyushuang's military future.
Chunyu Hua was overjoyed and quickly thanked Cao Su.
Cao Su said, "Don't be too hasty to thank him. Although Chun Yushuang is excellent, in fact, there is still a gap between him and a thousand-man general in terms of strength and military merit."
"Chun Yu City Lord should know that promotion in the army is based on strength first and military merit second. This is an eternal system, and I must follow it."
Chunyuhua's heart skipped a beat. He had just experienced great joy, and why did it disappear so quickly?
He couldn't help but said: "Then what does Cao Pingxi mean?"
Cao Su smiled and did not answer Chun Yuhua's question: "I know that City Lord Chunyu misses his grandson very much. Chun Yushuang is also in our army and was brought here by me. You two can be reunited today."
Chun Yuhua didn't know how to answer Cao Su when he came to see him reunited.
I can only express my gratitude again in a blur.
Cao Su smiled and stepped aside.
Outside the city wall, Chun Yushuang just climbed onto the city wall along the rope.
As soon as they reached the wall, the loud voice started shouting randomly.
"Why is this little broken city still so broken?"
"How long have I been gone? Don't you want to develop?"
"Straight bitch, why is this old man like you not dead yet, and still holding the position of your precious city lord? How rare..."
He was talking nonsense, and when he saw Chunyu Hua, he kept talking.
I haven’t seen each other since I went home in how many years.
Chunyu Hua was very moved and excited when his grandfather and grandson met.
The result was a familiar recipe, which made this unfilial grandson almost mad.
