Even though Cheng Ji was a dazed young man, he was fully aware of the pros and cons of this, so he obeyed Guo Huai's instructions and nodded in agreement.

Guo Huai said again: "Although the officials in Yongliang are all our own people, we have to be careful when Xiahou Xuan is appointed as the general to conquer the west this time. Cao Shuang wants to gain prestige by conquering Shu, and he wants to go further

This conspiracy to reduce Taifu Sima's influence in the court cannot be easily accomplished, so we must do our best to prevent him from succeeding in conquering Shu. Of course, this matter requires some strategies, and we must not be reckless.

It's absolutely impossible to act as impulsively as you do."

Cheng Ji cupped his hands and said, "You know your mistake because of your humble position. Let the governor do whatever he wants."

Guo Huai said: "With such a big turmoil, it will be difficult to reduce the big issue to a small one. Let's do this. Don't be the governor of Tongguan. I will transfer you to the Yongzhou army. The battle to defeat Shu will begin soon. You

In the frontline army, there will be more achievements."

Cheng Ji responded: "I will obey the orders of the governor."

Guo Huai said: "In such an emergency, you should do extraordinary things and remember the words of someone in the past. A small impatience will mess up a big plan. When dealing with these Cao clan members, try your best to obey their words and please their hearts. Never let them

Seize the handle and deal with it properly, the land of Yongliang will never change."

As Cao Liang expected, after Guo Huai arrived at Tongguan, he quickly dismissed him from the post of governor of Tongguan, Chengji, as a sign of respect.

Cao Liang knew clearly that this was just a superficial post by Guo Huai, for others to see, especially for Xia Houxuan.

Afterwards, Guo Huai came to see Cao Liang in person and expressed his apology to him. At the same time, he tactfully asked if Cao Liang could be allowed to evacuate Guanluo Avenue to restore the traffic of Guanluo Avenue.

It stands to reason that as the governor of Yongzhou, Guo Huai is the second-ranking figure after the governor of Yongliang. Such a high-ranking official in the border area came to apologize to Cao Liang in person, and his attitude seemed to be very sincere. Cao couldn't help but feel that

Liang was a little confused.

I can't figure out who was right and who was wrong about what happened before.

Originally, Cao Liang had already planned to take fifty hits from each one. In his opinion, even if Cheng Ji provoked him, he should not have acted so radically. It would be like over-defense. Cao Liang himself

Everyone believed that they would inevitably be punished for this matter.

However, even if he is punished, Cao Liang will never regret it. No matter how powerful the local snake is, he will never give in to this powerful dragon. If others bully him, he will not fight back. This is definitely not in line with Cao Liang's style of doing things.

The Yueqi Camp used to be a joke in the eyes of others, but it is no longer the same. The Yueqi Camp has been completely transformed. Cao Liang will never allow others to ridicule and ridicule it. This battle is actually

In the battle to rectify the name of the Yueqi Camp, Cao Liang will definitely lead the Yueqi Camp and become the focus of attention.

Guo Huai is almost in his fifties, weather-beaten, and the wrinkles on his forehead can be clearly seen. In Cao Liang's eyes, Guo Huai seems to be a Confucian scholar who encourages learning, rather than a warrior who is accustomed to fighting.

The famous general, with a gentle manner, only vaguely mentioned Cheng Ji's offense and never mentioned Cao Liang's fault.

This guy, like Sima Yi, is a difficult old fox.

Cao Liang quickly assigned Guo Huai a place in his heart. Indeed, Guo Huai had stayed on the Yongliang front line for nearly twenty years. He became a wise man with age and a strange tree with age. The more humble his attitude was, the more it proved that he had something in his heart.

ghost.

Cao Liang was not afraid of guns and barrels like Cheng Ji's. He could retaliate with tooth for tooth, grudge for grudge, and even blood for blood when pressed.

But for an opponent like Guo Huai who hides a knife in his smile, Cao Liang is really at a loss for the time being. He reaches out to avoid hitting the smiling man. Knowing that Guo Huai is harboring evil intentions, Cao Liang can only stand still and wait and see what happens.

Cheng Ji was punished and dismissed from his post as governor of Tongguan, and Cao Liang had no reason to continue blocking roads. Although Cao Liang knew very well that after Cheng Ji was dismissed, he could still find another job in another army.

, in fact, there is no difference between punishment and no punishment.

But there was really no need for Cao Liang to stay here anymore. Cao Liang packed up his troops and entered Tongguan City. However, he did not stay longer in Tongguan City. Instead, accompanied by Xia Houxuan, he went straight to Chang'an.

Tongguan can only be regarded as a small episode in Cao Liang's expedition, but it gave him a "notorious reputation" in the Yongliang area. Before he arrived in Chang'an City, his reputation had already risen, but it was just a good name for others.

However, Cao Liang has a notorious reputation. Perhaps in the minds of the soldiers and people in Guanzhong, Cao Liang has become synonymous with unyielding evil.

But Cao Liang didn't care. He knew that these were deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives, trying to ruin his reputation and make him a street rat that everyone wanted to beat up.

Cao Liang laughed at this. To be honest, these people are not as upright as Cheng Ji. They can only hide in the dark and do shady things. If they are really worse than being street rats, I am afraid that these people

It couldn't be more appropriate.

From Tongguan to Chang'an, the journey was no longer long or bumpy, so the journey was quite fast. In just one day, Cao Liang could see the majestic Chang'an City.

Chang'an City was the capital of the former Han Dynasty. The glorious Han Dynasty created a legend in Chang'an City. Unfortunately, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes in the world fought for supremacy, and Chang'an City became a Shura dojo. Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the past, and Ma Chao raised his troops in the future. It's a good eight years.

In the fertile fields of Qinchuan for a hundred miles, all you can see are piles of bones, and there is no human habitation within a hundred miles.

It was not until the founding of the Three Kingdoms that Chang'an City regained some of its vitality. As the front line bordering the Kingdom of Shu, it also received the attention of the Cao Wei court. After decades of reconstruction and reconstruction, Chang'an City has more or less regained its former glory.

Old appearance.

Chang'an was the place that Zhuge Liang had dreamed of all his life. He repeatedly invaded the territory, aiming directly at Chang'an. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang never had the opportunity to set foot in this city throughout his life. It is said that the closest distance to Chang'an during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was less than a hundred miles.

, but under the resistance of the Wei army, Zhuge Liang could only retreat in anger, leaving a lifelong regret.

Cao Liang looked up at this magnificent city and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an City was still much more depressed. There were only a few pedestrians coming and going. Only the iron cavalry billowing in the dust proved that this was an important military town.
