I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

"Report! The emissary has arrived!"

"Quickly pass it on!" Before Cao Pi could say anything, Wu Zhi hurriedly reached out to greet him.

Abba Wangte's secret envoy rushed in stumbling all the way, if Wu Zhi hadn't helped him, he might have fallen to the ground at this moment.

"Second son! My lord... Cao Xiong rushed back to help and led the Xuanjia army to defeat our leader of the Qiang tribe. My lord is now dead or alive!"

"What?" Cao Pi was shocked and angry when he heard this, he pushed Guo Zhao away and smashed the exquisite teacup on the ground.

Wu Zhi was also very surprised, his face changed a few times, he didn't know what he thought of in an instant, and he stabbed the emissary to death with a sword.

Cao Pi pointed at Wu Zhi several times with trembling hands, and suddenly sighed deeply again.

"well done!"

"Young master! It's not too late, please make a quick decision!"

Wu Zhi knelt down on one knee and stood with his sword in his arms, the blood still dripping from the tip of the sword.

Cao Pi's eyes suddenly flashed a touch of inadvertent cruelty, mixed with a lot of resentment, but it quickly disappeared, brushed his long sleeves, stood up calmly, stared at Wu Zhi and replied slowly: .

"it is good!"

Chapter 1448 Cao Cao's Thoughts

"Mr. Cao... You said that if you go into battle in armor, Zhongkang will never hesitate to die, but this game of chess... this, this, alas..."

The same is in Jizhou, in Yecheng.

Xu Chu, who was restless, scratched his head and sighed again, looking at the obscure chessboard eagerly.

Cao Cao's mind is not on the chessboard at this moment, but looking at the distant starry sky, not taking time to stroke his beard and think deeply.

"Baizi is white, but this sunspot is black..."

"The moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south. If you circle the tree three times, what branch can you rely on?"

"...What branch can you rely on?!"

Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao inexplicably, and murmured in his heart from time to time, what's wrong with the lord today, he usually looks for Xun Yu when he plays chess, but Cheng Yu and the others not only look for me today, but also always say some incomprehensible words?

Could it be?Headache again?

Xu Chu naturally saw that Cao Cao had something on his mind!

But whenever Mr. Cao showed such an expression, he wanted to talk to someone, but he didn't want to talk to others.

But this game of chess still has to be played, and it has to be played well.Because Cao Cao said directly to Xu Chu: "Marquis of Guannei, if you can't beat me in chess today, I will ask Cao Xiong to transfer Xu Yi back directly to be a little commander or something..."

Xu Chu thought, this won't work, my son has a bright future with Cao Xiong, even if he comes back to be promoted to a high official, he won't be as good as being with Cao Xiong.

As a result, the number of head scratching increased.

Just about to think about what to do next, Cao Cao frowned, covered his head in pain, and lay down on the chess table.

"Zhongkang, I have a headache...the headache doesn't stop...ah..."

Surprised, Xu Chu hurriedly wrapped the blanket for Cao Cao, and came over while drinking soup and medicine loudly.

Cao Cao blinked his eyes weakly, and his voice was as breathless as air.

"Zhongkang...you also said you can't play chess...I'm so relieved that you've even learned 'Jie'."

Xu Chu, Marquis of Guannei, carefully fed Cao Cao a few spoonfuls of decoction, which relieved him a lot.

A messenger came to report just now, and Xu Chu was afraid that there would be some bad news that would cause Cao Cao's condition to change, so he didn't pass it on.

Seeing that Cao Cao's symptoms had improved a lot, he tentatively asked.

With Cao Cao's personality, this military plane might not be delayed for a moment.

Throwing down the medicine bowl, "Read!"

After Xu Chu read the letter, he immediately reported the general content to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"it is good!"

"What a Cao Xiong'er, what a great prince of Wei!"

"Hahahaha... This action is to deceive even my father!"

"I should have thought that my son would do this, haha!"

Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao who was overjoyed, and couldn't help asking a question: "Mr. Cao, now that the battle at Yangping Pass is tense, is it extremely inappropriate for your son to go to rescue Yongliang?"

Cao Cao was thinking about Cao Xiong at the time, seeing through the overall situation, he seized Yangping Pass head-on, and approached Hanzhong.In fact, I later imagined that the prince would definitely not bring an army to support Yongliang, and then I thought about it, this kid has a lot of thoughts.There are some things that you think he can't do, but he inadvertently makes you feel at ease and turns the tide!

This is Cao Xiong!

This is my prince Wei!

Then he laughed, "Zhongkang, have you seen that my son Cao Xiong has disappointed me in all these years?"

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he didn't really remember it.

"Who is the son of Cao Xiong under now? Sima Yi, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, etc. are not the famous generals in the world. I am afraid that Xiong'er has already won the victory thousands of miles away, and he is planning a strategy! I just worry too much."

"sleep."

Xu Chu frowned, and thought to himself: I'm afraid Cao Xiong is not here, Huang Zhong and the others are very arrogant. I don't know if Sima Yi, the deputy commander, can convince the crowd?

Shaking his head, since Cao Gong said so, then Cao Xiong must have other decisions!

Just as he walked out of the door, he backed up with a buzzing sound and whispered into Cao Cao's ear, "Mr. Cao, what about my son Xu Yi?"

Cao Cao nodded, and Xu Chu immediately agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone knows, shortly after Xu Chu left, Cao Cao secretly touched the thick woolen blanket, but his thoughts flew to the sky again.

Chapter 1449

But it was said that Cao Xiong marched overnight, all the soldiers had just pacified the Qiang barbarians, and they traveled hundreds of miles a day, and when they passed the Animaqing Mountains, the soldiers were exhausted, so Cao Xiong ordered the whole army to rest.

Along the way, Ma Yunlu looked at Sun Shangxiang with complicated expressions from time to time.

It wasn't until this time that I became impatient with Miss Sun's family, so I gave her an angry look, "Just tell me what you have!"

"Thank you...thank you!"

Sun Shangxiang froze for a moment, hurriedly turned her pretty face aside, and murmured abruptly.

"If you want to thank you, you can thank Mr. Lang. You don't know. At that time, he expected you to go to Xiliang alone, so don't mention how anxious he was."

Really?

Ma Yunlu only felt a warm feeling in his heart, and his weak and boneless hands inadvertently took Cao Xiong's arm.

"Lang Jun, I'm sorry, I really misunderstood you before, and I was angry for a while and thought you ignored the eldest brother and the others, so I..."

Cao Xiong gently covered her lips with his fingers, and said tenderly, "It's okay."

Lingju looked back and forth between the three of them with her beautiful eyes, couldn't help covering her mouth and sniggering, and pulled Sun Shangxiang.

"My dear sister, let's sit closer."

Sun Shangxiang got up and walked away as if she hadn't heard. Before leaving, she still did not forget to cast a vicious glance at Cao Xiong, and said lightly:

"The feng shui here is not good, I'll go to the front to have a look."

Cao Xiong's face was covered with black lines, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

What's wrong with me?

Didn't you rush to come at that time?

woman oh woman...

Cao Xiong gave a wry smile, but before expressing any emotion, he heard Sun Shangxiang not far away exclaimed, and turned around and shouted loudly:

"Come quickly!"

Cao Xiong thought that this young lady was trying to get angry, but after walking a few steps, he found that Sun Shangxiang was supporting an injured person. The person looked over from a distance, and his figure seemed somewhat familiar. Trotted over.

"Old General Huang!"

Cao Xiong exclaimed, carefully helped Huang Zhong up, and gently fed him a few sips of water.

Unexpectedly, when Huang Zhong just woke up and saw that it was Cao Xiong, he was both relieved and ashamed.

Kneeling down on one knee, he pulled out the arrow from his arm and pleaded guilty to Cao Xiong:

"My son! Huang Zhong underestimated the enemy...causing the Shenjian Camp to fall into siege, and the old general fell into a coma after being hit by a poisoned arrow. Thanks to a few soldiers who tried their best to protect me, I will go to take the crime and do meritorious deeds, and give the son a siege." Confess!"

As expected of Huang Zhong, who was named one of the Five Tiger Generals in his previous life, even though he was seriously injured, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his body stiffened all of a sudden, and he was about to go to the battlefield to atone for his crimes.

What a stubborn old general!

Cao Xiong shook his head and stopped Huang Zhong.

"Don't worry, my son! Although I, Huang Zhong, am old, I still have the power to fight. I just accidentally underestimated the cunning Di people before. Now, the veteran will go and kill him!"

"Wait a minute! General Huang!"

"Let's talk about it in detail, let's find his weak point and break it in one fell swoop, and it won't be too late to kill him without leaving any behind!"

Panting heavily, Huang Zhong slapped himself on the head violently.

"It's all because Huang didn't listen to the deputy commander, and wasted a few arrows. Not only did he fail to shoot the Di people, but they were all blocked by the stone steps. The old man was angry for a while, and rushed up with the mountain camp... ..."

"I know that the Di people have a lot of experience in fighting in the mountains, and they are familiar with the local mountains. They continue to disperse our troops and cause multiple attacks. I blame me as the commander of the Shenjian Battalion, but I rushed out to fight the Di people, making the Shenjian Battalion helpless. Command, make a mess."

"This time, our army may have been besieged for a long time, and the whole army stood firm without the cover of the Shenjian Battalion. I am afraid that it has lost a lot of troops..."

"Huang Zhong pleads guilty to the son, and asks the son to punish him!"

Chapter 1450 Guerrilla warfare is unbreakable

According to the previous reports from Sima Yi's sentry cavalry, Cao Xiong knew that this battle was not easy to fight!

Cao Xiong heard two theories about the origin of the Di people: the first one is that the Di and Qiang tribes have the same origin but different streams; the second one is that Di and Qiang have been closely related since ancient times, but they have always been two different nationalities.

In any case, Cao Xiong, no matter from the history major in his previous life or the remarks of several emperors in the live broadcast room, came to the conclusion that the Qiang and Di tribes definitely conspired against Cao Xiong!

The mighty dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, not to mention that the Di tribe has almost all the time, location, and harmony in their own territory.

Moreover, according to what Huang Zhong said, the Di tribe seemed to have always been harassing with small groups of troops, thus gradually narrowing the encirclement.

Thinking of this, Cao Xiong couldn't help snorting coldly.

Fortunately, the Qiang people were in turmoil early, otherwise if he went out with the army to Pingyang Pass and was besieged here, even if there was an urgent report, it would be difficult to break out in a while, so why would he spread his troops to rescue Ma Chao.

"Lang Jun, what are you waiting for, I will fight with General Huang!"

"Yes, sir, there is no delay!"

"Zhongzi asks to fight a bloody road and break out of the siege with the deputy commander reasonably!"

Everyone saw that Cao Xiong was silent and didn't pay attention for a while. Only Lingju saw some problems and felt that the gentleman needed some time to think, so he took the two wives to bandage the wound of Old General Huang first.

There are three things that Lingju thought of: one is that the mountains are rugged, and Xuanjia cavalry are not suitable for direct confrontation; If you rush in, you will be divided into the battlefield again.

What Lingju thought of, Cao Xiong probably didn't think of it.After all, my biggest reliance—the Black Armored Iron Cavalry, this battle is useless, and the strong attack is futile. If it is placed on the plain, Cao Xiong dare to say that even if there are ten times more Di tribes, it is by no means my fame The long-standing rival of Xiaoqi!

But this is a mountainous area, and the fighting style of the Di people is a bit like a classic fighting style in modern Chinese history-guerrilla warfare.

The so-called guerrilla warfare - the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy camps and we harass, the enemy is tired and we fight, the enemy retreats and we pursue.
