Chapter 222 Cao Cao's Mind

In a parallel world, outside the city of Xuchang, watching the arrival of the [-] grandson Liu Lianjun, and watching the countless familiar faces in the army below the city, Cao Cao stood next to Emperor Han Xian with an expression of disbelief all over his face.

"Liu Xuande, Sun Zhongmou, these two people were fighting in Jiangling only half a month ago, and they came here together today to trouble me? No matter how the two families of Sun and Liu are united in one place, it is Jiankang, and Chengdu went to Xiangyang. , coming north together is not something that can be done in half a month!"

Cao Cao said to the generals around him word by word. He glanced at the eyes of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, his face was full of disgust. It turned out that Liu Xie looked at the army under the city, and the joy in his bones could hardly be concealed.

"Prime Minister, this is wrong!"

"Prime Minister, have you seen the two generals beside Sun Quan? These are Ling Tong and Xu Sheng. The other army is in the corner of the Jianghuai River. Tong Wenyuan's department is an old enemy. It's just that when I left Hefei, they were still in the Soochow Army camp. , how could it be here now?"

"Prime Minister, Wen Yuan Xingye came here, afraid of being delayed, they can be faster than my army, really, really, I'm afraid there will be ghosts and gods to help!"

The person talking next to Cao Cao was naturally Zhang Liao, the mainstay of Cao's army now. Cao Cao's Guanzhong army was too damaged, and it is still recuperating in Chang'an.

King Wei, who has always been outstanding in martial arts, can now rely on only the Luoyang Forbidden Army led by Zhang Liaojun and Cao Pi. Although the two armies also have [-] people, but facing the Sun Liu coalition army who is like a heavenly soldier, the morale of Cao Jun is so low extremely.

"Father, I heard the words of Zhongda, the concubine, that the Sun and Liu families have come here, and the momentum is too strong. Now the North Gate of Luoyang is still under the control of my army. Should I let the child guard His Majesty to go to Yecheng first? Father is here. To defend against the enemy, the son recruited soldiers in Yecheng, so he could rush to help his father!"

Seeing his heroic and omnipotent father Cao Cao, Cao Pi felt panic now, remembering the secret discussion between Sima Yi and himself before the arrival of Sun Liu's army, he couldn't help but bite the bullet and came to Cao Cao and said in a low voice.

"Take the emperor to the north? Yecheng recruits soldiers?"

Wei Wang murmured, his face was cloudy, but the voice of his third son Cao Zhi came from his ear.

"Father, in the battle of Luoyang, it is not yet known who will win the battle. How can food and grass support Sun Liuyuan? Luoyang has been in business for a long time, and the city is strong and brave. Go, he will naturally rectify the troops and come here, and retreating north now, I am afraid it will break the morale of the army!"

Cao Zhi was originally driven to the fief south of Luoyang because of his failure to seize the heir. This time, the Sun Liu coalition army went north and was forced to return to Luoyang.

He and Cao Pi's fight for the heir apparent has almost been torn apart. Cao Cao loved him very much in his heart, but he could not help but twitch his beard and nod slightly when he heard that the third son's words were quite methodical.

Sima Yi had already figured out Cao Cao's temperament. Cao Zhi or other clan children would come out to stand in the way, and he even helped Cao Pi think up a plan.

Seeing that King Wei hesitated, Cao Pi's face was full of sincerity, and he took a few steps to hold his younger brother's hand, and pulled him to kneel down in front of his father.

"Father, the purpose of going north is for the prosperity of the Cao family. In fact, in the child's heart, he is willing to follow his father to defend Luoyang. As a legitimate son, I have a face. Yecheng, I am right here, dealing with big-eared thieves and blue-eyed thieves!"

Cao Pi's move is to retreat to advance, because Sima Yi has a thorough understanding of Cao Cao's character, and he has thought up a plan in advance. Cao Cao is intelligent and suspicious, willing to demean himself, and stand on his own in a dangerous place, so that he can win his trust.

Sure enough, Cao Cao was moved by what Cao Pi said. He thought about it, Cao Zhi was too wild after all, and Cao Pi was the right one to go to Yecheng.

Cao's father and son were discussing important matters. At this time, in the city of Luoyang, many officials around Emperor Xian also recognized Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and the generals of the Sun and Liu families.

These people were originally walking in different counties and counties of Kyushu, but they suddenly gathered together like this today. Thinking that the folks had reported it a long time ago, in half a month, the image of a white rainbow flying across the sun in the south and west appeared repeatedly, and many ministers talked about it stand up.

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei, General Sun and Liu gathered here, it is really out of harmony with the laws of nature and human nature, I am afraid there are ghosts and gods in this!"

Minister Chen Qun stood next to Emperor Xian and Cao Cao and said loudly,

"Yes, I heard that Luoyang children have a ballad, Baiqi Cao Mie, Wei Wang, Bai Guang shines through the sun, I am afraid that Tianzhao does not like Wei Wang Jiuxi."

After Chen Qun said a word, the minister Yang Biao echoed him. He is an old minister who has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty and opposed Cao Cao becoming king. This person is too senior, so Cao Cao can only bear with it. Hearing Yang Biao make use of the topic today, everyone around Liu Xie Minister, keep silent like cicadas, even Han Xiandi himself is trembling, and it is better to be supported by Empress Cao beside him.

"Duke Yang, don't talk nonsense. King Wei Jiuxi is determined by heaven. How can there be any signs of dislike? Besides, the matter of King Wei has already been settled. Today, we should first think about driving Liu Bei away, Sun Quan."

No matter what Emperor Xian thought in his heart, he had been in the tiger's den for a long time, and he had already practiced superficial skills. He refuted Yang Biao, but Yang Biao, who had served as the third prince, did not give up. He just pointed at the city and spoke loudly.

"If there are no ghosts and gods behind, how could these brave generals in Yizhou Xuande and Jiangdong Zhongmou be here in just half a month? Your Majesty, King Wei, all people in the world have suffered from wars, and now all the heroes of Kyushu are here. Here, Yang Biao sees, why bother to meet each other in battle, just at the head of Luoyang City, it is good to refute the truth of the world clearly.'

Yang Biao clearly wants to demolish Cao Cao today, but Meng De is so heroic, who would care?Hearing Yang Biao's words, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ghosts and gods are jealous of my Wang Jiuxi? Haha, what a joke, don't say that the world's ghosts and gods are vague, even if there are ghosts and gods, why is Meng De afraid of them?"

"Yuan Rang, beat the drums. The lonely king has not been on the battlefield for a long time. He is here today. Watch this army defeat the enemy!"

When Cao Cao gave an order, he didn't even look at Yang Biao. At the top of Luoyang City, Xiahou Dun took the order and left. Within a moment, above the top of the city, the battle drums of Chongtian sounded. .

Seeing that a big battle is imminent, there will be tens of thousands of dead people under the city of Luoyang today.

A few days later, Liu Xuande still had dark circles under his eyes, thinking of Jiankang's gentle hometown, thinking of the great cause of the world, the emperor's uncle couldn't help but give a chill.

"Brother, we have finally waited for today. When we formed a sworn brotherhood in Taoyuan, wasn't it because we, three brothers, were fighting against the national traitors together?"

Zhang Fei reined in his horse beside Liu Bei, raised his spear and pointed at the head of Luoyang City, his face was full of murderous intent, Guan Yu beside him smiled with a beard, but suddenly he felt something and looked at the sky.

"It's a pity that Shangxian Nie Feng is not here today. Today's overall situation is all in the hands of Shangxian!"
