I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

"state?"

"Yes!" When Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Chong's expression became serious and his tone became meticulous. "Father's body is not as good as before. Although the head wind disease was cured by Hua Tuo, the root cause of the disease is still there. When I go to see him these days, he always covers his head from time to time, and he looks extremely tired."

After being reminded by Cao Chong, Cao Xiong thought about it carefully, and it seemed that his father Cao Cao was really not as energetic as before!

Cao Xiong didn't pay attention before, but in retrospect, there are indeed traces everywhere...but he, the son, is indifferent to his old father.

"Did Brother Chong come to tell me this?" Cao Xiong asked carefully.

Cao Chong nodded. "This is why my father used one hundred thousand soldiers to test the fifth brother. In my father's view, the fifth brother is the eldest son and the one who will inherit the great Wei. However, my father is always worried, so he uses one hundred thousand soldiers as a The temptation will test you, but, in fact, the real test is yet to come?"

"Behind?" Cao Xiong didn't deliberately try to figure out what his father Cao Cao was thinking, but the smart Cao Chong knew Cao Cao better, and talking with him now gave Cao Xiong a sense of enlightenment.

"Father actually hopes that you can capture Hanzhong, so that your prestige will be unprecedented, and all civil and military officials will be convinced by you. Naturally, father will rest assured that he will entrust the Great Wei to you." Cao Chong explained in detail, and mentioned the last Every word in his eyes became hot. "So, fifth brother? This battle against Hanzhong, you must go, and you can't afford to lose!"

Huo... finally mentioned the key point.

The purpose of Cao Chong's late-night visit was to persuade Cao Xiong to fight!

Similarly, after Cao Chong's analysis, Cao Xiong also felt that this battle was inevitable, even if the information came back that Hanzhong was impenetrable, he still had to fight bravely.

This is no longer a question of whether to fight or not, but how to fight?How to fight must win!

Chapter 1386 Vanguard General

Tattat Tat, under the silent night, the footsteps of Jingxuan Pavilion sounded again.

His steps were low and heavy, like a burly man...

At the same time, a super barrage popped up in the live broadcast room.

Xiang Yu: "There are strong people, and their kung fu is not low!"Anchor, is the killer of the Five Dou Rice Sect coming to avenge the leader! 』

call out…

As soon as Xiang Yu blurted out his words, Cao Xiong shivered subconsciously, Nima, this is Duke Wei's mansion, this is Jingxuan Pavilion, layers of armor, it's so easy for assassins to come in, and it's still so swaggering.

Before Cao Xiong thinks about it...

"It's the third brother..." Cao Chong said without thinking...

"Brother Chong? How do you know?" Cao Xiong asked curiously...

Cao Chong tilted his head and blinked his big eyes. "In Duke Wei's mansion, apart from the Marquis of Guannei, the only one who can swagger and make such heavy footsteps is the third elder brother. Besides, the guards didn't move at all when he was able to enter the Jingxuan Pavilion. There will be no one else but him!"

Speaking of this, Cao Chong smiled slightly. "Now that the moon is on the brows, the Marquis of Guannei will definitely stay by his father's side. Based on this calculation, the person who came to Jingxuan Pavilion must be the third brother!"

Yo... What a strategy!

Cao Xiong stretched out his hand and patted Cao Chong's small head, while his eyes glanced faintly towards the courtyard of Jingxuan Pavilion.

"Fifth brother..."

With a loud and clear voice, it seems that even at night, visitors have no scruples, "Where are you, fifth brother? Third brother is here, won't you come to greet him?"

Logically speaking, Cao Xiong is the eldest son, even if the third elder brother came to the mansion, there is no reason to welcome him, but Cao Zhang's character is so careless, he doesn't care about any title or power, except for those who fight and kill. very interested.

"Third Brother..." Cao Xiong rushed out and pulled Cao Zhang's shoulders, and then stretched out his index finger to make a "shh" gesture, "Third Brother, it's late at night, don't disturb the rest of my wives!"

"Hahaha..." Cao Zhang laughed out loud. "Fifth brother is still afraid of them? It's just a group of girls, whoever decides this Jingxuan Pavilion, fifth brother can take care of it!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhang still laughed without any scruples, and immediately walked into the study together with Cao Xiong.

In the study, Cao Zhang looked left and right, as if he had arrived at some strange place, but Cao Xiong remained silent...

Speaking of which, he is not familiar with the third brother Cao Zhang. Back in the day, they were still rivals in the competition for the son, why now, the third brother is so familiar.

"Brother Chong? What are you doing here?" Cao Zhang finally set his eyes on Cao Chong's hand...

Instead of being nervous, Cao Chong smiled slightly. "Why is the third brother here, and why is the younger brother here!"

Huo…

Cao Chong's answer made Cao Zhang happy, and he stretched out his hand to touch Cao Chong's forehead. "Brother Chong, my brother is here for the expedition to Hanzhong, and I'm specially here to be his vanguard general!"

As soon as he blurted out these words, Cao Xiong was stunned, what's going on?Cao Zhang is so willing to be his vanguard general?There's no trick in this, is it?

Unexpectedly, Cao Chong raised his hand slightly. "The fifth brother has the help of the third brother, so the battle in Hanzhong may be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"and many more…"

Cao Xiong couldn't bear it any longer, so he simply asked directly. "Third brother? Do you really want to help me go to Hanzhong?"

"Haha..." Cao Zhang laughed out loud. "What's the matter? I won't compete with you for the son? I want to be a vanguard general? Do you want to fight me?"

Having said that, Cao Xiong was overjoyed.

One less opponent, one more comrade-in-arms, ouch, not bad!

Chapter 1387

"Success, success, success, you can be a pioneer if you want to. As long as my father agrees, I'll be fine."

Seeing Cao Zhang's eyes that made him feel uncomfortable without fighting for a day, Cao Xiong simply agreed... "But, third brother, you can't be a vanguard for nothing, you have to ask for Qingzhou soldiers, the trump card army under my father! "

ah... ah...

Cao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, feeling that he was still negotiating conditions like this!

Speaking of which, Cao Cao has several ace troops, such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Ren and Cao Chun, the Qingzhou Army led by Le Jin and Li Dian, and the Huben Army led by Xu Chu...

These three armies each have their own advantages. Tiger and leopard cavalry are good at fighting on plains, and they are also good at attacking fortified cities. "Three Kingdoms" records that when Cao Cao conquered Yuan Shao, Nanpi City, which was high in the city and deep in the river, was captured by this trump card army. of.

The Huben army is stronger than melee combat, and their main role is to protect Cao Cao's safety;

As for the last Qingzhou soldiers, they were Cao Cao's core forces who followed him in the northern and southern wars since he served as the shepherd of Yanzhou. lift.

This time, the conquest of Hanzhong will mostly be fought in the mountains...

According to common sense, infantry and crossbowmen are the main forces, so Cao Xiong directly named Qingzhou soldiers!

"Well, you are fifth brother!" Cao Zhang frowned first, then smiled wryly, but in the end, he nodded heavily. "Since the fifth brother put forward this condition, well, just beg, I also ask my father, Le Jin, and General Li Dian for this Qingzhou soldier!"

After saying a word, Cao Zhang didn't say hello, and walked out of the gate on his own...

"Third brother? Are you leaving now?" Cao Xiong didn't forget to say hello...

"Why stay here?" Cao Zhang waved his hand. "With this skill, I will go to the residence of General Li Dian and General Le Jin..."

"Third...Third brother? I'm afraid they are all asleep today?" Cao Xiong reminded...

"Then I'll wait until they wake up!" Cao Zhang kept walking towards the door while talking... "I have plenty of time!"

Uh... Cao Xiong was stunned, damn, this third elder brother is an extreme militant.

Come on, with his help and the help of Qingzhou soldiers, the chances of winning this battle are a bit more!

Just thought of this.

The sound of treading footsteps followed...

"Hey... someone is coming again!" Cao Chong stood on tiptoe and looked out of the window. Sure enough, Cao Zhang had just left, and Cao Zhi and Cao Lin came together...

It seems that, with this benefit in Duke Wei's mansion, it is very convenient to drop by even at night.

"Fifth Brother...I didn't expect Brother Chong to be here." Cao Zhi walked into the pavilion first, looked at Cao Xiong, and looked at Cao Chong. "I'm just guessing, fifth brother must not be able to sleep at this time!"

"Fourth Brother? You came here in the middle of the night? What is it for?" Cao Xiong simply asked...

But Cao Zhi took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and then he slowly opened it. "Fifth brother, look, this is a bamboo slip that records information about all the alien races near Hanzhong, including their number, distribution, and relationship with each other... With this bamboo slip, at least the fifth younger brother can take the lead when it comes to the issue of alien races." .”

Phew... Cao Xiong was taken aback, this is really a priceless treasure!

With this in mind, Cao Xiong carefully put away the bamboo slips, but he didn't look at them in a hurry, after the brothers leave and study with a group of emperors, they will probably get more information.

But at this time.

Cao Lin, who was originally silent, said something in a low voice. "Fifth brother, I have nothing to help you here, but Cao Zhi and I recently heard some news, which is not good for you."

Chapter 1388 My Heart Will Not Die

Bad news?

Cao Xiong was slightly startled, then raised his hand and asked, "Brother Cao Lin, it's okay to say, I want to hear, and who cares about me?"

"It's the second brother..." Cao Lin said directly without hesitation. "Recently, the second brother and the second sister-in-law have made some moves. With the help of the second sister-in-law, the second brother often has secret meetings with many celebrities."

Second son Cao Pi?Second sister-in-law Guo Zhao?

Cao Xiong narrowed his eyes, it seemed that the second elder brother was determined to persecute me, but the sky was sunny again, the rain stopped, and he felt that he could do it again!

"Brother Cao Lin? Who are the famous people? Do you know?" Cao Xiong has asked a lot... It seems that, under the expectations of Cao Xiong, there are very few famous people who can take refuge in Cao Pi, or, who is so Do not open your eyes?It's all about this, and I'm still on Cao Pi's side.

"Yes..." Cao Lin was about to speak, but he was interrupted by Cao Zhi.

"Brother Cao Lin, the fifth brother is about to go to war, so don't bother him with these things." Cao Zhi patted his chest and turned his gaze to Cao Xiong. "Fifth brother, leave this matter to me. My father has ordered the second brother not to contact too many officials and celebrities, let alone covet the position of the son. It is not difficult to teach him some lessons from this. .”

What Cao Zhi said was serious...

In the final analysis, he was helping Cao Xiong, but he also had some taste of revenge.

After all, his wife, Zhen Mi, used to be the second sister-in-law, so she was extremely jealous when she met her rival in love!

"Then you have to thank fourth brother!" Cao Xiong was not polite, after all, he was so familiar, besides, he really didn't have the energy to take care of Cao Pi, and the battle in Hanzhong made him burnt out!

Cao Xiong's voice fell!

Suddenly, light footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a deep and clear voice.

"Unexpectedly, Jingxuan Pavilion is so lively in the dead of night!"

The voice is hoarse but thick, and it also has a little magnetism. The most important thing is that you can smell a fragrance from a long distance... This feeling is the same as that of Chanel No. [-] or Fengyoujing before time travel...

No need to look, Cao Xiong has already guessed that the person who came is Liuxiang Lingjun—Xun Yu!

Speaking of which, it is understandable for a few brothers to come to this Jingxuan Pavilion at night, after all, they are all in the Duke Wei's mansion, that is, just visiting...

But Xun Lingjun?What does this mean?

Do all the guards in Duke Wei's mansion eat dry food?

Cao Xiong thought for a while, and realized that Xun Yu was probably sent by his father, Cao Cao. He reckoned that it was his father who wanted to tell him something through him.

"The five sons have met Mr. Xun Ling."

Facing Xun Yu, Cao Xiong was very modest and humble... "It's just that I came to visit late at night, so I don't know what Xun Lingjun is doing?"

"My lord, the old man came here this time with Mr. Cao's intentions and his own thoughts. He didn't hesitate to come here late at night just to tell you something." Xun Yu's expression also became serious, and his tone was even more meticulous. "If this battle is going to be fought, it must be won! If there is no certainty of victory, then you would rather choose to avoid the battle. Even if your father dies, it is better than to bite the bullet and lose this great situation."

Xun Yu's words came out in style, which had a lot of meaning...

Cao Xiong faintly felt that it had something to do with the actions of his second elder brother Cao Pi during this period, otherwise, it would not be worthwhile for Xun Lingjun to come here specially to say these words.

"Five sons thank you Xun Lingjun." Cao Xiong cupped his hands and bowed...

Xun Yu smiled slightly. "You are not curious, why should I remind you?"

Huo, I finally got to the point!

Chapter 1389 Attitude towards the Han Dynasty

"My son..."

Xun Yu's voice became a little low, as if answering the question he asked himself, he became very solemn.
