"If our army attacks Qingxu, would you be willing to be the vanguard?"

Zhu Huan clasped his fists excitedly and praised:

"Your Majesty, be at ease. Yan Sheng, the governor of Xuzhou, does not know about military matters. The King of Xiapi, Cao Yu, is weak and incompetent. I only need [-] soldiers and horses. I will surely be able to run amok in Xuzhou and expand the territory for the King!"

"Okay!" Sun Quan slapped his thigh excitedly, "With Xiu Mu leading the army, I can sleep in peace!"

In fact, even if Zhu Huan took the initiative to ask for orders, Sun Quan was going to use Luo Tong as his general to attack Shouchun, and Zhu Huan as his general to attack Xuzhou, so as to achieve a strategy across the two Huaihe Rivers.

Now wait for Liu Bei's large-scale Northern Expedition and the mobilization of the Luoyang Central Army.

Is it something like backstabbing? If you stab a lot, you will get used to it.

Liu Bei, Liu Bei, don't let me down, you must fight Cao Rui and lose both!

Chapter 454 The leader is always right

While Liu Chan was advancing along the river and heading towards Hanzhong quickly, Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei, was also nervously waiting for the results of the Battle of Hanzhong.

In this battle, there were many voices of opposition from the DPRK and China, but Cao Rui still insisted on pushing for the start of the battle, because he knew that if he waited any longer, the enemy's strength would rapidly expand.

If you don't hurry up and put it out, you can only catch it with nothing in the future.

But just after sending troops this time, Fu Gan left the team, it is said that he was going to resist the Qiang Hu in the north, which made Cao Rui very angry.

Fu Gan is not a person who can't distinguish between priorities. He led the army to leave at such a critical moment, which shows that he is very unhappy about this war.

But Cao Zhen and Sima Yi divided their forces, and in the end it was Wu Zhi who followed Cao Zhen to attack together, which made Cao Rui feel a little more ominous.

hateful, hateful,

Why do these people modify my strategy without authorization!

Even if there are Qianghu attacks, let them plunder and they will naturally disperse.

Why divide the troops at such a critical time!

In the past few days, Cao Rui has been awakened by nightmares every night, and he even has some regrets in his heart

It is obvious that they are fighting against the country, and they should have sent Chang Diao this time.

at least

At least it can increase the odds of winning a little bit.

"Your Majesty, Jingzhou urgently reports that our army has broken Shu."

At night, the servant happily delivered the good news of Jingzhou's great victory to Cao Rui's bedside. This was Cao Rui's request. As long as there was a battle report, no matter whether the laughter was good or bad, he should let him know as soon as possible.

The Great Wei Emperor rubbed his eyes and sat up, asked someone to bring a candle, and carefully read the words on the silk by the flickering light.

After a long time, he crumpled the silk into a ball, threw it to the ground angrily, and cursed in a low voice:

"How dare you lie to me!"

Five days ago, Cao Rui received Xia Houmao's victory report.

In the letter, Xia Houmao played triumphantly, saying that they defeated Shu general Ding Feng in Nanxiang County,

Ding Feng was personally beheaded by Xia Houmao during the battle, and his head was also sent to Luoyang to report his meritorious service. The rest of the Shu army was beaten and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Hearing of the great victory, the city of Luoyang was filled with jubilation, and everyone in Xiahou's family was overjoyed, praising Xiahoumao for being a heroic boy, and everyone came forward one after another, thinking that Xiahoumao has made great achievements in this battle and has already reached the level of a first-class famous general. This is Da Wei's true Optimus Prime!

You must know that Ding Feng was a former general of the Shu Kingdom, and he made great achievements in battle. Xia Houmao beheaded him in the first battle, which would definitely deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of Liu Bei's army, and it is possible that they would give up the idea of ​​​​a full-scale northern expedition.

Although Cao Rui praised Xia Houmao's bravery verbally, he did not give him an official promotion. Instead, he urged him to carry out the campaign seriously, and wrote a letter ordering Chen Tai to ignore Fancheng's defense for the time being, and to eliminate the bandits first.

Cao Rui knew very well that Xia Houmao must be bragging.

Ding Feng was the core of this Han army. He used the captured Zhuge Dan to deceive the counties of Nanxiang, obtained a large amount of rice, and immediately gathered a large group of people, claiming to be one hundred thousand.

If Xia Houmao was able to kill Ding Feng in one battle, the [-] mob would collapse immediately. How could they continue to occupy Nanxiang and fight.

But it was probably the last award that made Xia Houmao think that Cao Rui was very satisfied with him,

He sent an urgent report today, saying that these thieves have been driven to the vicinity of Funiu Mountain by himself, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.

Cao Rui was stunned when he saw the map.

Funiu Mountain is on the north side of Nanxiang, and it has entered the range of Sizhou. Xia Houmao fought several times and severely damaged the Shu army many times. On the contrary, the Shu army expanded rapidly and killed all the way to the territory of Sizhou. Further north, it is Luoyang!

"Bastard! Why did I, why did I send this person to fight!"

Cao Rui is really upset now.

Xia Houmao was victorious one after another, and he couldn't punish this person with his own guesses.

But he could foresee that Ding Feng must be safe and sound, but stronger than before. If he didn't hurry up to destroy him and let him topple the river in his own hinterland, when Liu Bei went to the north, the entire Wei army in Jingzhou would definitely be defeated. It's going to be pushed directly to Luoyang's feet!

For now

"Come on, call Xia Houshang! Wait, call Chang Giant Eagle!"

After Ding Feng won the great victory in Wudang, he adopted Zhuge Ke's strategy and used Zhuge Dan as a bait to attack the counties of Nanxiang successfully, plundering a large amount of grain.

Xia Houmao, who was stationed in Xinye, was furious. He took Qin Lang, Deng Ai, and Xia Houba to kill Nanxiang, and started ten battles with Ding Feng one after another.

In these ten battles, Wei Jun worked hard up and down, played style and morale, defeated Ding Feng one after another, successfully killed Ding Feng at least five times, and Shi Bao and Zhuge Ke were also killed three or four times. Great victory, great victory of great victories,

Recently, Xia Houmao's hands were cramping when writing the victory report, and he was very satisfied with his record. He thought to himself that I am indeed the son of a general, the nemesis of the Shu army.

The leader is so happy that Deng Ai, who is working, wants to die.

Xia Houmao doesn't understand war at all, and really thinks that the current situation is not a small one, but a great one.

But Qin Lang, another clan of the Great Wei Dynasty, was not stupid. Seeing Ding Feng's successive defeats, but his men were fighting more and more, he was quite anxious.

Bandits, rioters, and some officials who had long been dissatisfied with Cao Wei joined the battle group. Not only has the Shu army not been weakened, but it has expanded to a very terrifying level.

But they reported the beheading of Deng Ai to Cao Rui early, and said that the Shu army was not to be feared at all.

If I ask for support now, I am afraid that I will be severely reprimanded and my face will be disgraced.

This is what he absolutely does not want to see.

We must quickly find someone to take the blame and take the responsibility of lying about the military information, so that the emperor can give an explanation.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Lang asked someone to call Deng Ai,

As soon as Deng Ai entered the military tent, Qin Lang put on a straight face and snorted coldly:

"Deng Shizai, the imperial court has a lot of trust in you. Is this how you attacked and suppressed?"

Ten thousand beasts whizzed past Deng Ai's heart, and he didn't know why Qin Lang suddenly became mad at him.

He grinned awkwardly and said with a wry smile:

"General, where do you start with this?"

Qin Lang's handsome face tensed up, and he said seriously:

"The governor of Xiahou ordered you to attack the vanguard. Because of the fact that you have been unable to make any progress for more than 20 days, you have not completely wiped out the enemy?!"

Deng Ai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought that Xiahoumao personally commanded Qin Lang and Xiahouba, and supervised [-] elite soldiers. He was just a partial general under Qin Lang's command. The crowd of enemies can't take their turn.

"General, general, this bandit army is powerful, and it is difficult to hide in the mountains now, and it is difficult to wipe them out.

The final general thinks that Ding Feng is not necessarily dead, he is dead, Shi Bao and Zhuge Ke are not dead either, now"

"Huh?" Qin Lang sneered, he stretched out his hand and lightly poked Deng Ai's chest, and said earnestly:

"Shi Zai, you and I have always been on good terms, you can say that in front of me, but is it the same for you in front of Shangguan?

What a joke! "

"The governor is in charge of the overall situation. You are a front-line officer. If you have to decide everything, what do you want to do?

The governor had already formulated a strategy before, ordering you to lead the army to destroy the Shu army. You promised well at that time, but what is the trouble now, and you still say that Ding Feng is not dead?

Hehe, when you killed Ding Feng back then, why didn't you come out to question why you couldn't wipe out the rebels until now, and you said this again. "

"Shi Zai, you are still young, you have to take responsibility, how can you shirk everything and not seek to make progress?

You have to be more attentive so that you won't miss a major event. "

Deng Ai was dumbfounded, and for a moment he really wanted to pull out the long knife at his waist and slash Qin Lang's forehead. It can be seen that Qin Lang's face was resolute and righteous, so he could only hold back and humiliated "Wei".

Deng Ai is not stupid, he can already see that the current situation is getting more and more wrong.

The Han army was defeated one after another, but they had no intention of crossing the river at all. Instead, they continued to move northward. The weather was getting colder and colder. They used the food in their hands to recruit soldiers. The Wei army's advance and suppression was affected by the cooling effect and became more and more difficult. .

Deng Ai knew that they had lost the opportunity. If they wanted to completely wipe out this Han army, they had to mobilize the Luoyang Central Army, or the entire garrison in Fancheng went north, so that they would have a chance.

If the enemy is allowed to flee, he will soon enter Sizhou,

Luoyang's mountain and river city defense is very effective against the regular army, but it doesn't have much effect in front of these refugees-dominated troops.

If the fight continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But the problem is

This kind of army mobilization is absolutely impossible for Deng Ai, Xia Houmao can do it, and it should be possible for Qin Lang to suggest it, but none of them dare to take this responsibility.

Now Qin Lang is already thinking about the future, thinking about how to get rid of the blame after the defeat.

Xiahoumao, Xiahouba, Qin Lang, and Deng Ai standing together should be a question of who should take over the pot. Qin Lang even almost hinted that Deng Ai hastened to admit that it was because he refused to pay attention and suffered a big defeat.

This made Deng Ai feel chills in his heart.

Deng Ai insisted that the Wei army was not powerless to fight the Han army,

Even if the situation has begun to gradually collapse now, there is still power to fight.

But helplessly, now the elite generals of the Wei army are not accepted, and everyone is considering not accepting the blame. Few people are willing to take the responsibility to fight against a strong enemy.

If this continues, they will be strangled to death by the enemy sooner or later.

Gotta figure out a way.

In a daze, Deng Ai thought of Shi Bao in the Han army formation.

He and Shi Bao met when they were driving together.

Deng Ai only remembered that Shi Bao was very talented and impulsive back then, and was very eager to show off his skills and be appreciated by the court, so he was taken aback for a while.

He heard that Shi Bao later joined the Han army, and when he became a county magistrate and worked in the government, he was quite envious of his adventure.

I am Deng Ai

Seeing that Deng Ai clenched his fists and seemed to be struggling, Qin Lang pondered for a moment, then immediately changed his face, and said earnestly:

"Shi Zai, I know you are very capable, and your official position is far from worthy of your position, but you also know that the current state affairs are difficult and difficult to deal with.

Don't worry, you are the talent that my great Wei focuses on cultivating. As long as you work hard and share your worries for the governor, are you afraid that you will not have the chance to be promoted in the future? "

"Now Da Wei has provided you with an opportunity to display their skills. The Funiu Mountain bandits are already at the end of their strength, and they just leave it to you to deal with.

Think of this opportunity as rare, and others can't ask for it, so you have to cherish it. "

Deng Ai's heart twitched a few times, but he also knew that as a subordinate, he couldn't fight against Shangguan anyway, so he could only nod his head dejectedly and said:

"The last general, willing, willing to go to crusade against the thieves and thieves in the mountains!"

Qin Lang nodded in satisfaction, and smiled kindly:

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you, and I'll say that I saw the right person, after all, he was recommended by Zhongda."

Grace!

If it wasn't for repaying Sima Yi's kindness, Deng Ai would almost turn around and leave, never taking the blame.

But now, he can only bite his lips tightly and sigh:

"Thank you for cultivating."

Chapter 455 I'm waiting for a magical weapon

Hanzhong, Xingshi Mountain.

Cao Zhen waved his hand, and hundreds of Wei soldiers lined up in an orderly manner down the mountain, holding wooden shields, and climbing up the rugged mountain road.

Waiting for the dense arrow rain of their Han army.

Just like the previous few days.
