Chapter 521: Drumming

Cao Cao, who was in Yecheng, had a faster grasp of the battle situation in Huainan than the others. So he immediately began to summon the generals and prepare before the battle as quickly as possible.

The process included sending someone to send a food box to Xu Du.

Cao Cao was not happy to do this. So he chose Xinpi, who had never intervened in such affairs, to take this trip. With Xun Lingjun's elegant and elegant appearance, he should not make things difficult for an outsider.

After Xinpi left with the food box, Cao Cao couldn't sleep all night for three consecutive nights.

He sat at the head of the bed all night, motionless like a dead tree. All he thought of was Xun Yu's gentle and elegant demeanor and calm demeanor, the unstoppable passion when he was telling him ambitions, and the achievements of his various aspects such as making plans, plots, reassuring prostitutes, and recommending talents.

Unfortunately, the beliefs of both sides cannot be matched. Sooner or later, it will be time to see each other and become enemies. If Xun Wen tolerate this, he is afraid that the tide will not only be in Xu Du, but will spread to Luoyang and Yecheng. Who will end at that time? How to end? It would be better to make a decision earlier and kill all the troubles at the end of Qingping, leaving some mercy for both sides and some room for room.

If he did not die, sooner or later, he would involve the Xun clan and many Ru Ying men in the whirlpool where there was no way out for each other. If Xun Wen was not a scruple, but a Confucian scholar who valued the clan very much. Therefore, he would definitely understand that he would make the right choice.

"In this regard, I am far inferior to Xun Lingjun." Cao Cao raised his hand and pressed his forehead and whispered: "I make mistakes from time to time, but Xun Lingjun never makes mistakes."

The office hall was silent, and several Shu Zuo seemed to have heard something, but only turned a deaf ear.

Cao Cao, who often makes mistakes, has come step by step to this day with the support of Xun Yu, who never makes mistakes and many civil and military subordinates.

Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao thought he would follow the road of victory and keep going. At that time, his command was invincible. Jingxiang bowed his head and Jiangdong flinched... Seeing that the world was about to return to stability, he crawled under the might of Cao's family. Unfortunately, a fire in Chibi burned down the upcoming victory and also burned down Cao Cao's clearly identifiable future.

In the following years, with the huge potential of Hebei and Central Plains, Cao Cao was still the strongest in the world, but he had to deal with more and more things. The soldiers who were eager for wealth and wealth, the two sons who were as powerful as each other, the court with ulterior motives, the aristocratic clans that were busy seizing power, the Sun and Liu families who never stopped, etc.... Cao Cao felt that he was old, and he was not afraid of these, but was tired of dealing with them.

The more tired you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

What to do?

Cao Cao originally wanted to slowly peel off the cocoon and deal with it little by little, but the changes in the situation forced him to cut the mess quickly. This time he went to Jianghuai, there might be a big battle to fight. I hope Xun Lingjun's death can intimidate a group of people, at least let them be quiet for a while. Dong Gongren will get things done next. If Dong Gongren is not good enough, he will recall Man Boning.

But, it was a pity for Xun Wenruo after all.

"Dezu! Dezu!" he called out loudly.

The chief clerk Yang Xiu came in from the outside world in response: "Prime Minister, Yang Xiu is here."

"I will write an order for me, just say..." Cao Cao thought for a moment, and then said, "Zhongzheng conspired to calm the inside and outside, if the literature is like this, the Gongda will be the second. It is better to add the literary style, and the Gongda will be four hundred each of the fiefs to demonstrate the beauty of the two kings in the good and the evil."

Yang Xiu's pen was like flying, and in a moment, he ordered the grass to be served.

Cao Cao took it and came to see it, and was about to send it to the Ministry of Justice to carry out the situation, and there was a sensation outside.

"Hmm?" Cao Cao frowned.

Yang Xiu hurriedly went out to ask, but after a moment he turned back in a hurry, bowing and saying, "Prime Minister, Xun Lingjun has passed away."

"Oh?" Cao Cao responded softly.

He straightened his back and leaned against the sky. Within his sight, there was no sky, only dark and layered bunkers and pillars, as if they were about to collapse.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and found that Yang Xiu was still bowing in front of him, as if he was still scrutinizing him.

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned: "Dazu, why are you still here?"

"Prime Minister, since Xun Lingjun died of illness, the one he had just said..." Yang Xiu asked carefully.

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly became furious and pointed at Yang Xiu and shouted: "What's the matter? When I ordered, wouldn't Xun Wen be fine? Go and do it! Go now...get out!"

Yang Xiu crawled on the ground with a pale face, thinking that Cao Cao was going to kill someone to vent his anger. He didn't move out with his hands and feet.

After Cao Cao cursed angrily, he turned around and took the long sword in his hand and strode out.

No matter what, the hidden dangers have been eliminated and you can send troops!

Yang Xiu had just recovered and saw Cao Cao coming with his sword, screaming with a piss. He also changed his expression.

Cao Cao ignored them. He strode outward and ordered Xu Chu: "Send orders, beat drums and gather generals!"

On that day, the civil and military officials in Yecheng gathered together to discuss and quickly rose up the people from Jizhou to go south to Jianghuai.

Considering that Sun Quan was coming in a fierce battle this time, he would have to win a great victory to shock his ambitions. Therefore, he was all out of Hebei, and was kept in the Central Plains Treasury to fill his army. Almost all the important officials of the Cao army in Hebei were accompanied by the movement.

In addition to the Central Military Advisor Xun You and the Taizhong Doctor Jia Xu as their counselors, the other participants in the southern expedition were also involved in the Five-Secret General Cao Pi, Deputy Prime Minister Cao Hong, Central Military Advisor Han Hao, General Li Dian of the Despotic General Li Dian of the Despotic General Li Dian of the Yangwu General Zhang He, General Xu Chu of the Wuwei General Xu Ding of the Zhenwei General Li Xu, General Li Xu of the Pinghu General Ding Fei of the Dian Army, Chief Military Advisor Cao Xiu, General He Mao, Wang Mo, Jie Jiu, Gao Zuo, Chang Diao and other dozens of people, and used a total of 150,000 Hu Ben of the Central Military Advisor and summoned the Wuwan Iron Cavalry of the Three Counties to accompany him.

This is a large-scale operation that the main force of the Cao army rarely took after the Red Cliff. Wherever the army passed, the flags were connected to the sky, the commands were like clouds, and the armor shone brightly on the sun. The vanguard had just crossed the river to Dongjun, and the power of the world had already shaken the world.

The news quickly reached Hanzhong.

Liu Bei looked at the military newspaper twice, and then handed it over to Pang Tong.

He walked back and forth in the central army tent, but couldn't help but feel excited, so he stood outside the tent.

At this time, the sun shines, and bright colors are sprinkled among the undulating mountains. The mountains are divided into two parts by the sun. As the sun gradually rises towards the zenith, the dark parts are fewer and lesser, and they become fainter, as if the dark black curtain has been cut by the rugged mountains.

The weather in Hanzhong is very different from that in Yizhou. I wonder what will happen in Guanzhong?

Liu Bei couldn't help but hold the hilt tightly.

"Lord, Xuzhi did a great job. The time for our army has come!" Pang Tong's voice came from behind.

Liu Bei nodded: "Tell me the order, beat the drums and gather the generals!"

The news also quickly arrived at Jiangdong Camp, which stretched from east Chaohu Lake to the city of Hefei.

Sun Quan was surprised: "Cao Cao is coming to Jianghuai?"

Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth: "It's all because of Lei Yuan, a mere side-leader, is so quarreling! Alas, this guy shouldn't have been out of control that day!"

It was Sun Quan's idea to let Lei Yuan go to Lujiang. He originally planned to use this to encourage Liu Bei to send troops as soon as possible, but he did not expect such a result. Sun Quan was already heartbroken and regretful, but Zhu Zhi said this as if he was criticizing Wu Hou's misjudgment.

Sun Quan glared at Zhu Zhi fiercely.

Zhu Junli really can't speak. You see, Zhuge Ziyu is very good. He is silent and never talks much.

"The messenger who ordered Lei to move far away has already set off, right?" he asked.

Zhuge Jin replied: "Feng Zirou asked for his order to go in person, and she had already set off last night."

"Send someone to let Lei Yuan occupy Lujiang, and be sure to withstand Cao's army from the west! Let him hand over Xiahou Dun!"

“…Abide by the order!”
