"I can only wrong you today...don't worry about your wife after you die. I will take care of your wife myself."

Cao Cao really didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. If the news spread that Liu Bei was attacking the rear, it would definitely shake the morale of the army. No matter what the reason was, the messenger must die. Cao Cao waved his hand, and Dian Wei came over with his men.

"Hit him well and keep him secret.

Also, that Wang Tu just now... was dealt with quietly. From tomorrow on, let Yang Di take over his duties and be with me personally for the time being."

"Here!"

Dian Wei nodded and without saying a word, dragged the messenger's body into the darkness.

Yang Xi was a native of Nancheng, Taishan County (now southwest of Feixian County, Shandong Province), and was also a son of an official. At the same time, Yang Xi also had another identity, that is, he was Cai Yong's son-in-law... Cai Yong had two daughters, the eldest daughter Cai Yan, now

Settled in Hexi.

This girl, Cai Zhenji, is Yang Xi’s wife.

Yang Xi is now under Cao Cao and serves as an army adviser.

This man was familiar with military literature and had good literary talent. Naturally, Cao Cao had some inner considerations when he recruited him as his personal follower.

I have my own tooth soldiers to clean up the blood on the ground.

As for Wang Tu... Cao Cao doesn't need to worry, Dian Wei will take care of everything.

After a while, Guo Jia came over in disheveled clothes. He was woken up from his sleep. When he heard Cao Cao's summons, he didn't even have time to comb himself, so he ran over.

"My lord called me late at night, but there was an accident?"

"Liu Bei, occupied Anzhong."

"ah?"

Guo Jia was startled when he heard this, but soon he understood Cao Cao's intention of coming to him.

"Lord, we must not withdraw our troops at this time."

"oh?"

"If the lord withdraws his troops today, he may not be able to capture Hebei with ten times the effort in the future. There may even be turmoil, which will greatly reduce the lord's prestige. Liu Bei, a little thief! Although he has captured Anzhong, it is nothing to worry about. Today's Nanyang

There is Zhang Xiu, there is Yuan Rang in Ye County, there is Wen He in Runan, Li Tong is also proficient in the art of war, and has the courage to be unstoppable... These are all people who are good at fighting and resourceful. Even if Liu Bei wins a small victory, it will not matter.

The overall situation can be settled sooner or later.

The urgent task is to mobilize troops and attack Yecheng.

We must not delay it any longer. The longer it goes, the more unfavorable the war will be... As for Hedong, Zhang Yan can be stationed."

Later generations often said that Cao Cao had five great counselors.

But among the five great counselors, the one who is most devoted to Cao Cao and understands Cao Cao's thoughts best is Guo Jia.

Xun Yu also knew what Cao Cao was thinking, but after all, he still cared about the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, when it comes to Yixin, Xun Yu is still inferior to Guo Jia. However, this is also related to the background of the two of them. Xun Yu came from a wealthy family, while Guo Jia was relatively poor. Only by following Cao Cao closely can Guo Jia get ahead.

.

Cao Cao's eyes showed admiration.

"Those who know me are filial piety!"

Nanyang, Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

"Anzhong is lost?"

"Exactly."

"That Rangcheng..."

"General, Rangcheng is now in danger. After Liu Bei captured Anzhong, he ordered Chen Dao to defend it. He led his troops to attack Rangcheng. General, if you hesitate any longer, I am afraid that the young master's life will be in danger."

The general guarding Rangcheng was none other than Zhang Xiu's son, Zhang Quan.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu was shocked when he heard that Anzhong was defeated by Liu Bei.

This position of Anzhong is really too important... If you advance, you can attack the three counties of Niyang, Jiyang, and Rangcheng; if you retreat, you can defend Xinye, and there are still Liu Biao's elite. In such an important place, if Liu Bei gains a foothold, Zhang

The embroidery fell into passivity.

What's more, his son is facing the threat from Liu Bei.

Zhang Quan follows Zhang Xiu, and he can be regarded as a battle-hardened master. If he faces ordinary opponents, Zhang Xiu is not too worried. But if he faces Liu Bei, Zhang Quan is no match. Not to mention that Liu Bei is also battle-hardened.

He has experienced more battles than Zhang Quan has ever heard of. Moreover, his subordinates include Zhang Zhaoyun, Chen Dao and other powerful generals, all of whom are not ordinary people. Zhang Quan can never be Liu Bei's opponent. He

If there is no rescue, Zhang Quan's life will not be saved...

Zhang Xiu is the only son.

Before that, he had a nephew, Zhang Xin, who died in the Battle of Wan.

The murderer is still not known.

If Zhang Quan dies...

Without saying a word, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered his troops and horses to rush to the aid of Rangcheng.

However, he was not a reckless person. He knew that heading to Rangcheng like this might fall into Liu Bei's trick.

Liu Bei is also a well-known figure.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's many people failed to surround him, but he made a huge detour of thousands of miles, which made Cao Cao's army miserable. If he went straight to Rangcheng so stupidly, how could he know that Liu Bei wouldn't ambush him in the middle? So, this

Rangcheng wanted to be rescued. But he was not going to Rangcheng... Zhang Xiu ordered people to inform Xiahou Dun, and then led his troops to attack Xinye.

This move of mine is called surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.

Aren’t you going to attack Rangcheng?

I will attack your home base, forcing you to abandon Rangcheng and return troops to rescue Xinye. At that time, I will ambush you and take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Anzhong. When General Xiahou arrives with his army, we will join forces and directly destroy Xinye.

Those who were able to separate one side in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were not ordinary people.

Zhang Xiu was able to gain a foothold under the command of the fierce general Dong Zhuo, and then after his uncle's death, he gathered the Xiliang soldiers together to organize Nanyang, and even defeated Cao Cao in a state of disarray, even including his son. How could he be incompetent?

generation?

In the past, he had Jia Xu to advise him.

Now that Jia Xu is away, Zhang Xiu can only make his own decision.
