Tian Yan

In the past, King Wen and Taigong Wang rode together, and the world passed it down as a model of mutual understanding between monarchs and ministers.Today's expedition, but there is no one else in the huge imperial family.

Sitting alone in the car, the car had already driven out of Xuchang City, and the road started to become bumpy.Cao Cao stopped halfway with his hand lifting the curtain, and suddenly thought of Xun Yu, remembering that when he used to lift the curtain, he always saw his lowered head and smiling eyes.

Xun Yu... the one who has been with him the longest and hurt him the most, but why does he always remember the years of wanton squandering when he is getting old?

Cao Cao laughed in a low voice, and went around in a big circle, causing so many injustices, but in the end there were still only two people living in his heart, but he could no longer see or touch them.

The road to Hanzhong is long, and there is enough time for him to think about it, Xun Yu's irreplaceable sentence, the paleness on Guo Jia's face in the past, their first meeting, and the bright mountain. The beautiful Yingchuan Academy.

Thinking of the end, a person suddenly broke into my mind, complaining to him, what does all this have to do with me!

Cao Cao pressed the center of his eyebrows. After all, he couldn't kill Sima Yi like he was on the battlefield.For emotional matters, he really doesn't want to owe anyone a little bit more.

Besides, it has always been my own strength that comes first, and my faults first...

It is a mistake to divide a heart into two halves, but it is wrong to be wrong.Now that he was approaching his twilight years, tired and tired, he probably couldn't afford to give Sima Yi what he wanted, such as power and affection.

But what Sima Yi did made him impeccable. He didn't make noise or play tricks, and even tried his best to make suggestions. He just wanted to stay by his side. There was no reason for him to kick such a person away.

Forget it, let's keep it. He also heard about Xun Yu saving Sima Yi with a sword on the top of the wall.Xun Yu's eyes are so poisonous, the person he personally left for him must not be wrong.

"Your Majesty, we are about to enter Hangu Pass!"

Cao Cao got out of the car, stood on the shaft, and the foreground slowly passed by.The mountains are majestic all the way, as steep as a knife and an axe. There are many rocky mountains in the Central Plains. The exposed stone layers are dark and silent, and the silent years of the beginning of the world are precipitated.

Hangu Pass, the first pass in the world.

Cao Cao looked up and could see the winding Qin Great Wall, which was a symbol of the unification of the world.

"Your Majesty, do you want to rest here for a while?"

Cao Cao looked at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, but he could smell a trace of water vapor in the wind.

"Don't stop, order the three armies to march into Hanzhong before the spring rains come this year!"

"Third Highness, see you for a long time!"

When Cao Zhang heard the sound, he knew that it was Yang Xiu, the new director. There was a hint of wit in his eyes at any time, but he couldn't see him no matter what.

"There is no Highness in the army."

"Yes, the former general." Yang Xiu lowered his eyebrows and changed his words immediately, "I have some doubts in my mind, and I want to ask the former general for advice."

"Oh?" Cao Zhang reined in his horse when he heard the words, and turned his face to Yang Xiu, "What's the matter, even Lord Yang can't figure it out?"

"That's it..." Yang Xiu paused for a rare moment, "Your Majesty wants to take Hanzhong, what does the general think?"

"What is it! Your Majesty wants Hanzhong, and we, as generals, are responsible for defeating it!"

Yang Xiu chuckled: "Your Highness thinks, what are the chances of winning in attacking Hanzhong?"

"It goes without saying, of course we must win." Cao Zhang glanced at Yang Xiu from the corner of his eye, "If Master Registrar has nothing to do, I will go ahead."

"His Royal Highness, stay!" Yang Xiu drove a few steps to catch up with Cao Zhang, "Your Majesty's thoughts are not limited to this, taking down Hanzhong is only the first step, what your Majesty wants is to unify the world!"

Cao Zhang also felt something: "You know so much, why talk to a rough man like me?"

Fine beads of sweat emerged from the tip of Yang Xiu's nose: "Your Highness, to tell you the truth, if it's just to attack Hanzhong, I will do my best. It's just that His Majesty's battle today is obviously for the destruction of Shu. Your Highness, and Not to mention whether it is feasible to destroy Shu, but whether the treasury and food and grass are enough to support it is unpredictable!"

"Nonsense, how could the father be so determined to go his own way! You have enough speculation!" Cao Zhang's complexion changed, and he scolded.

"Your Highness, I am in charge of the treasury account books. Recently, Prime Minister You transferred a sum of money. The amount is huge, and it is stamped with military badges. I still don't understand!"

Cao Zhang's face was calm, and a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back.The State of Shu was a thorn in Cao Cao's heart. The defeat of Chibi made Wei State no longer able to advance southward, which formed the current situation of three pillars.Liu Bei, who was originally dependent on others, actually occupied the most fertile land in central Shu and dominated one side, which became the biggest obstacle for Cao Cao to enter the Central Plains.

The road to Shu is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Wei Guo has been pursuing the policy of truce and slow war for nearly ten years, but now Cao Cao, how many decades can he wait?

But now, there is obviously no chance of winning the battle against Shu.

"Your Highness, now that our Great Wei's farming has just begun to improve, and Wu and Shu are also breaking up. This is a god-given opportunity to defeat each other. Please stop Your Majesty, so that the Wu-Shu alliance will not be reunited under high pressure, and the success will fall short!" Yang Xiu said sadly.

Although Cao Zhang is rough, he also knows that what Yang Xiu wants him to do is a tricky but necessary thing to do.Who is Yang Xiu, the number one think tank under Cao Zhi, who is best at reading people's minds.Throwing this hot potato to himself this time is really a good plan.

——This strategy, whoever uses it, will suffer.

Cao Zhang suddenly remembered the disaster plan that Sima Yi had told him. He never understood it, so since there is someone ready in front of him, he might as well give him a try.

"Why is it so difficult, I have a perfect plan, and I can guarantee your success and fame."

"Oh?" Yang Xiu is not a fool, "If that's the case, how dare I compete with the general?"

"Hey," Cao Zhang shook his head, "I want to lead the army to fight, and I don't have the right to maneuver. Only you, my lord, can do this."

"……Appreciate further details."

"Come here with your ear, and I'll explain it to you in detail." Cao Zhang smiled mysteriously.

Yang Xiu leaned over his doubts, and after hearing a few words, his pupils shone brightly, "Okay, okay! It's really a clever strategy!"

"The general is waiting for the good news from your lord." Cao Zhang smiled, "One step ahead!"

After crossing the Wei River, the road gradually became smoother, and there were more scouts in the surrounding area.The army had a large number of people, so they simply set up a camp near the mountains and rivers, and rested for a few days.

"Father, even if it is convenient to get water for camping in the river valley, if the enemy floods us with water, then..."

Cao Cao laughed: "You, after fighting for so many years, you are still not active enough!"

Cao Zhang squatted down, raised his head and looked at Cao Cao: "But the son is still puzzled, father, tell me..."

Cao Cao's heart softened for a moment, Cao Zhang looked like a child, he couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of his furry head.

"This season, the snow has just melted, and the rain has not yet come. Camping along the river, you can stick to it and wait, it doesn't matter."

Cao Zhang suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the case, my son has been educated!"

Cao Cao affectionately tugged at his ears: "Don't pretend, you'll know how to make me happy."

Now that his little thoughts were exposed, Cao Zhang didn't hesitate, stood up and walked behind Cao Cao, pinching his shoulders: "Father, this time, do you really want to go into battle yourself?"

"Ah... I want it." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looking beyond the mountains into the distance.

Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Cao Zhang knew it would be useless to talk too much, so he just slowed down the strength of his subordinates and relaxed his shoulders for Cao Cao.

"Heroes in the world, only Shi Jun and Cao Er... Ha ha."

Cao Cao's voice was almost raving, but Cao Zhang couldn't hear clearly: "Father, what did you say?"

"It's nothing..." Cao Cao smiled and didn't want to say more.

With the war looming, every moment is like the calm before the storm.The soldiers were on the alert, and everyone expected that there would be a fierce battle in Hanzhong. They only hoped that they would not lose money by killing a few more enemies by themselves.

"Besides, His Majesty puts on his armor and goes into battle, so why don't you guys work hard!"

"Good! Good!"

Cao Zhang stood silently in front of the camp for a while. It seems that Cao Cao also expected this situation, so he had to go into battle himself.Having joined the army for many years, Cao Zhang understood very well that no one is not afraid of death, but the duty of a soldier must be to be desperate.In many cases, as long as you tell them that the coach is with them and the people's country is with them, they will be able to inspire 12 points of strength.

By the way, Sima Yi... He thought about it all night, and he wanted to find Sima Yi!

Cao Zhang immediately looked around and finally found Sima Yi among the crowd.This guy actually mingled with the soldiers to drink, and even gesticulated with others, his clothes were wet a lot.

"Mr. Sima, Mr. Sima!"

Hearing the sound, Sima Yi raised his head and looked around blankly, but he didn't see Cao Zhang.Standing up unsteadily, he met Cao Zhang's eyes.

"Third Highness..."

Cao Zhang beckoned, Sima Yi smiled and walked out from the crowd.

"Sir, I have something to tell you."

Sima Yi shook his clothes, and tilted his head a bit embarrassed: "Your Highness, wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes..."

"Hey." Cao Zhang responded, and followed Sima Yi into the tent.Sima Yi's tent is relatively simple, and it is not equipped with partitions.

Sima Yi turned around: "Your Highness?"

Cao Zhang said "Yes", only to hear Sima Yi say: "Your Highness is here, how can I change my clothes?"

"Ah? This, this..." Only then did Cao Zhang realize the problem. After wandering around in the barracks for a long time, a group of big men ate and slept together, not to mention changing clothes.

"Then I'll go..."

"Forget it, they're all men." This time it was Sima Yi who stopped him, and Cao Zhang didn't dare to turn around, only waiting for the rustling voice behind him to stop, "Why are you going to drink with the soldiers?"

Sima Yi laughed softly: "Drinking the barbarian's blood drunk, waking up and taking control of the world, this is every man's dream."

Cao Zhang touched his nose: "Mr. has such ambitions, he really deserves to be the pillar of the country."

Sima Yi took the kettle from the shelf and poured tea for him: "Your Highness, don't you have something to say?"

"Yes!" Cao Zhang subconsciously cleared his throat, "I heard that Xiang Yu lost Fan Zeng and lost Wujiang, Liu Bang won Zhang Liang and ruled the world. I don't know, sir, would you like to give me some advice?"

Cao Zhang spoke these few sentences slowly, obviously not in line with his usual speaking style, and it must be difficult to memorize them after writing them down first.

It is an excellent opportunity to be close to the water.Sima Yi wanted to open his mouth to agree, but his tongue seemed to be tied, and he couldn't utter a word.

In front of Cao Zhang, there is still a childish look between his brows.Even though he had killed countless people on the battlefield, his pupils were still rare and clear.

At that moment, Sima Yi suddenly saw Cao Chong's eyes, and called him "Sir" so trustingly.

Sir... Even though he is covered in mud now, there is still a place in his heart, a pure land.

Now he only plans for that one person, how can he deserve to be called Mr. Yi Yi?

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I can't..."

"Ah?" Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, "You...don't want to?"

"Yes, I can't."

"why?"

"Because..." Sima Yi's throat moved, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"why!"

"General, the school is calling for troops, please come quickly, General!"

"Cough!" Cao Zhang shook his sleeves angrily, glared at Sima Yi, and strode out.

Outside the tent, the sound of battle horns sounded, and the setting sun was setting.
