"Accurate!" Cao Rui also understood this, and nodded and agreed to Jiang Ji's request.

If Jiangdong invades Huainan, it is possible to use the money and grain of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

At that time, the money and grain in Guanzhong may not be maintained, so the stability of Huainan is also very important.

………………

…………

Guanzhong, Chang'an.

In the general's mansion, Cao Zhen discussed the military situation with his staff.

Zhao Yan was an important minister of Wei, but since Cao Pi lost Yongliang and Guanzhong became the border, Cao Pi sent Zhao Yan to Guanzhong as the assassin.

Zhao Yan arched his hand to Cao Zhen and said, "The latest news from the scouts, there are 20,000 Shu troops from the stability side.

In addition, His Majesty sent a message to the general, His Majesty does not know the soldiers, but this time it must be based on defense, and how to transfer troops and send generals depends on the general. It's just that the general must be strictly guarded and not slack off.

In addition, His Majesty will lead more than 800 stone civil and military ministers to come to Chang'an and live and die with Chang'an. Situ Wang Lang was in charge of some chores first, and he was already on the way. ”

"What?" When Cao Zhen heard this, he stood up suddenly, but Cao Rui's hand scared him.

At the same time, Cao Zhen also felt Cao Rui's determination to resist the Han.

"Good! This is the emperor of my Great Wei! ”

"Even if my Wang Shuang dies, I must also keep Guanzhong!"

"My Great Wei has this Mingjun, why can't I defeat Shu?"

"Your Majesty really has the style of Emperor Taizu Wu!"

When the generals heard this, they praised Cao Ruilai.

What are generals most afraid of?

First, I was afraid that the emperor did not understand military affairs, but he commanded indiscriminately in the rear.

There are too many such emperors in history, especially in the Song Dynasty, many times the emperor and the officials discussed how to use the soldiers, and even drew drawings, and then let the soldiers on the front line fight according to this.

Cao Rui was born in the deep palace, he really didn't understand military affairs, he didn't command, he just set a defensive strategy, and then handed over all the battles to Cao Zhen to be fully responsible, which naturally didn't have any problems.

Second, they were afraid that the emperor would not be able to give support to the front, and even listen to rumors and make a stumbling block for the front-line soldiers.

For example, Liu Chan in history listened to Li Yan's words and recalled Zhuge Liang, who had just won a big victory.

However, Cao Rui didn't, not only did he not, but he also drove the expedition in person and gave the greatest support to the front-line soldiers.

I have to say that Cao Rui made this matter, and he gained the loyalty and love of all the soldiers in Guanzhong.

It has greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers, Your Majesty is in Chang'an, if you can't hold Guanzhong, Your Majesty will die, and we will wait for the soldiers to throw their heads, sprinkle blood, and defend with their lives.

Cao Zhen smiled: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such courage!" ”

Cao Pi has the courage to drive the expedition in person, but he does not have the courage to live and die with Guanzhong and Chang'an.

Cao Rui looked at the generals in the hall and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is about to lead officials of more than 800 stones to Chang'an to live and die with Chang'an, tell me, what should I do?" ”

A group of civil and military officers shouted in unison: "Defeat the Shu soldiers and protect my Great Wei Emperor!" ”

"Good!" As soon as Cao Zhen slapped the table, his spirit was shocked, the whole Wei State, all of them were united, the civil and military ministers, all of them were willing to die, he didn't believe it, this time he couldn't beat the Shu Kingdom!

Cao Zhen ordered: "Hu Zun! ”

"The last general!" Hu Zun came out of the ranks.

Cao Zhen said: "Shu general Deng Ai led 30,000 troops to attack Huating, you immediately go to Huating, and dispatch 20,000 soldiers and horses to Anding." And told Guo Huai that he must not fight, and he must defend Huating for me! ”

"No!" Hu Zun took the order and left the hall to transfer troops to Huating.

"Xiahou Ba!"

"The last general!"

Cao Zhen ordered: "You take my general order, go to Meixian, transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses, rush to Anding, and help lead the recruitment!" told Sun Li that Zhang Ren could not be allowed to cross Meixian by one step. ”

"No!" Xiahou Ba took the order letter, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and went to Meixian.

Cao Zhen ordered again: "Cao Chun, Chen Tai, Shi Bao, Wang Shuang, and Ru are ready quickly, and in two hours, they will gather outside the city and rush to Anding with the general!" ”

Chen Tai is the son of Chen Qun, now only in his twenties, he is quite talented, and he knows the art of war, and was recruited by the general Cao Zhen as a staff member.

Shi Bao and Deng Ai are as big, historically, Deng Ai and Shi Bao met, is a good friend, in 218 AD, Xuchang's imperial physician Yoshimoto rebelled, when Shi Bao and Deng Ai held a low position in Nanpi to Nong Sima.

The confessor Guo Xuanxin went out on business, looking for someone to drive, so the government recommended Shi Bao and Deng Ai, and after a conversation, the two gradually got his appreciation and became famous, so as to move towards a career.

But now, Deng Ai has long belonged to the Han Dynasty, but Shi Bao is still the same as history, but originally he was officially appreciated by Sima Yi and was reused a few years later, but now Wei is the time to employ people, so Shi Bao was used, was sent to Guanzhong, and was appreciated by Cao Zhen and entrusted with important tasks.

As for Cao Chun and Wang Shuang, needless to say, they are also famous in history.

Cao Zhen finished ordering the generals and was about to leave, when a voice from His Royal Highness sounded: "Why didn't the general bring the last general?" ”

Cao Rong looked at His Royal Highness, but he was a young man about twenty years old, although the young man was only in his twenties, he was also eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, and he looked like a fierce general, but his face was mature and steady that seemed to be different from his peers.

"Brother Rong?" Cao Zhen frowned and said, "Your Majesty is about to arrive in Chang'an, so you can stay in Chang'an." Besides, you are my uncle's favorite son, and you are still young, I really can't bear to ......"

The young man drew the sword from his waist and shouted, "I went out with my father at the age of thirteen, and now I am nineteen, why can't I go on the expedition?" Now that my father and brother have died at the hands of Shu thieves, I have been working day and night all these years, learning martial arts, reading military books, I know that the general takes care of brotherhood, and can't bear to let me go on the expedition, but if the general doesn't take me, I will die in front of the general today. ”

"Brother Rong, what are you doing, quickly put down the sword." Cao Zhen hurriedly went up and grabbed the young man's sword.

Cao Zhen is also a fierce general, in the prime of life, he directly reached out and grabbed the hilt of the young man's sword, the young man stretched out his other hand to stop Cao Zhen, and pushed hard, pushing Cao Zhen back again and again.

The young man looked at Cao Zhen and said, "There are no brothers in the army, please grant my request." ”

Cao Zhen nodded and shouted, "Okay, good, I didn't expect you to be so bold, Xiahou Rong!" ”

It turned out that this young man was Xiahou Yuan's youngest son, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Rong's younger brother, Xiahou Rong, who was captured with Xiahou Yuan in the first battle of Dingjun Mountain, and was replaced by Cao Cao.

Xiahou Rong was very smart when he was young, he went out with his father at the age of thirteen, not afraid of death, since Xiahou Yuan died in battle, Xiahou Rong studied hard and practiced hard, and now he is an adult in the army, it is to take revenge.

It's just that Cao Zhen remembered that Xiahou Rong was Xiahou Yuan's most beloved son, and he couldn't bear to let him go on the expedition, so he didn't call him just now.

"The last general!" Xiahou Rong put away his sword and gave his hand to obey the order.

Cao Zhen pointed at Xiahou Rong and shouted: "Give you an hour to pack up your things and wait for me at the city gate, since you said that there are no brothers in the army, only military law, everything will have to be arranged by me at that time." ”

"The last general only has this sword, go outside the city and wait for the general now!" Xiahou Rong gave up his hand and took the long sword out of the hall.

"I have a successor to Dawei!" Looking at the back of Xiahou Rong leaving, Cao Zhen's heart was full of relief.

Although Cao Pi is dead, the new emperor Cao Rui is even better.

Xiahou said that although he died in battle, Xiahou Rong was better than Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou said that he was only a brave general, but Xiahou Rong was both civil and military.
