Cao Cao raised a confident arc at the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Oh, this person is none other than him - it is the champion marquis of the time, Liu Yao, who dominates Bingzhou, Lord Liu!" His words revealed the pride and expectation that could not be concealed.
"Oh? It's the famous General Liu Yao?" Cao Cao's words made He Jin's face stern, and his eyes flashed with complex emotions, with both curiosity and a little imperceptible vigilance.
He had never expected that Cao Cao could invite this hero who forged prestige with iron and blood and was hailed as the military god of the Han Dynasty.
In the power game with undercurrents in the court, He Jin knew that apart from the ten constant servants in the deep palace, the only one who could make him feel truly threatened was Liu Yao, who rose step by step on the battlefield with his illustrious military exploits, and was praised by the public opinion of the outside world to be on par with himself.
The various legends about Liu Yao are like the cold wind in the northern border, which will reach you no matter how far you go.
At this moment, He Jin looked at Cao Cao with a more inquiring look in his eyes. He thought to himself: If Cao Mengde could really invite Liu Yao to his side this time, he could use him or change the direction of the court. This would undoubtedly be an extremely smart move. However, how could such a person be easily used by He Jin?
After all, many people secretly compared the two of them, saying that Liu Yao pacified the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu in the north, but his status was not as high as that of a pig killer.
In comparison, He Jin was more ashamed and embarrassed.
Would such a general with great military achievements be willing to obey his command?
"Time is running out. All the victories and defeats will be decided tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, the Ten Eunuchs will summon all the ministers to the court. They will do everything they can to support the prince Liu Xie as His Majesty. As long as they use the little emperor as a rallying cry, they can attack us."
"By that time, no minister in the court will be able to resist."
"Now our only way to turn defeat into victory is to take advantage of tonight, send troops into the city, surround the palace, summon all the civil and military ministers in the court, rush into the palace, take the lead in supporting the new emperor, and then kill the Ten Eunuchs!"
"Looking at Luoyang, many heroes have risen up, but when it comes to the elite in the army, who can have the iron-blooded and invincible black armor heavy cavalry trained by Liu Yao himself? In Liu "Under Liu Yao's careful training, this frontier cavalry is like a tiger with wings."
"In addition, Liu Yao has many brave generals under his command. They complement the black armor heavy cavalry, as if they were divine soldiers sent from heaven, enough to flatten all obstacles in Luoyang City, and their momentum is unstoppable."
"Moreover, the situation in Luoyang City is far more complicated than imagined. The Ten Eunuchs have been in power for a long time, and everyone in and outside the court is their eyes and ears and minions. Those troops stationed in Luoyang seem to be loyal to the country, but in fact, there are undercurrents, and everywhere is the spies of the Ten Eunuchs. Once there is any unusual movement, the news will spread like wildfire and quickly spread to every corner.
"If the army is forcibly mobilized, it will inevitably alert the Ten Eunuchs. By then, they may be desperate and fight to the death, and the consequences will be disastrous. "
"But Liu Yao's troops are different. They don't have the above shortcomings. They are not part of the Luoyang garrison, so they are naturally not restricted by the inner court's tiger seal. Moreover, they all came from Yanmen Pass, and there is no possibility of the power of the Ten Attendants in the army."
He Jin also understood everything at this time.
"Brother Meng De, this important task belongs to you! "He Jin spoke earnestly and bowed deeply to Cao Cao. At this moment, his eyes were full of trust and expectation, as if he placed all his hopes on this wise and brave ally.
Cao Cao nodded slightly, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
The night was as dark as ink, quietly spreading across the sky, and the stars were hidden.
The sound of horse hooves was urgent, and it was particularly clear in this quiet night. They seemed to be telling Cao Cao's anxiety and uneasiness.
However, when Cao Cao arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, he was told an unexpected news-Liu Yao had gone to the military camp outside the city before him, waiting there quietly, as if he had already seen through everything.
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, outlining a meaningful smile. In that smile, there was both admiration for the tacit understanding of friends and some indescribable complex emotions.
"Ziyi, Ziyi, you always give me the biggest surprise at the most appropriate time. It is an honor and a great pressure to be associated with a wise man like you. "
Thinking in his mind, Cao Cao turned his horse around and set out on his journey again, but this time he was heading to the more vast military camp outside the city.
Under the moonlight, a neat and solemn military camp soon appeared in front of Cao Cao.
The entire military camp was built on the hillside and by the water, and there were a lot of plants here to provide fodder for the war horses.
There are alsoThere were several deep trenches, watchtowers, and a large number of chevaux de frise and antlers all around.
There is no doubt that this camp has been wrapped like an iron barrel, and water cannot be poured in.
Cao Cao is also a person who is familiar with military books, and he can naturally see that the defense of this military camp is clever.
"Liu Ziyi, you really have learned the military strategists!"
If I want to break through such a camp, it will probably be very difficult.
If I use fire attack, those trenches will play a good isolation role, and there is a water source next to it.
Not to mention the siege and water source.
If it is a sneak attack.
Cao Cao just wanted to think, but, 'Swish! ' An arrow pierced straight into the open space in front of the horse, and he was so scared that he sat down on the warhorse, raised his front hooves, and kept neighing.
Discovered! ?
"Stop! This is the camp of the Han Dynasty's General Zhengbei! No trespassing!"
At this time, two soldiers in black armor and heavy cavalry were fully armed and galloping on horseback.
One of them held a horse in his hand, and the other held a bow and arrow, looking at Cao Cao with a vigilant face.
Liu Yao had already declared that anyone who trespassed into the military camp would be killed! Anyone who allowed outsiders to enter the camp without permission would be executed!
"You two, please tell me that Cao Mengde is here to visit."
Cao Cao reined in his horse and dared not step forward again, fearing that he would be shot and killed if he was not careful, because he could feel that there were others around him who were watching him.
"Please, sir, retreat a hundred steps away quickly, and I will send someone to pass the message."
The soldier holding the horse turned around and left, while the soldier holding the bow and arrow was still very vigilant and kept his bow drawn.
In the tent, Liu Yao sat in the main seat fully armed, Dian Wei and Wang Yue sat quietly beside him, and Ke Yiying and other officers were all waiting on the side. Without exception, all of them were dressed in military uniforms and ready to fight at any time.
At this time, a messenger ran in.
"General! A man named Cao Mengde came to visit."
Liu Yao, who was meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"This chaotic world! It has begun!"
