A fast horse appeared outside the city, and they were instinctively alert.
Lu Lingqi picked up her sword and looked northward warily.
After hearing this, Dian Wei and the others also became excited. At this time, they could hear the sound of horse hooves approaching, and they all followed the sound and looked at the fast horse.
Chen Zhou glanced at it curiously and said disapprovingly: "There is only one horse coming, why are you nervous? I think he is still a member of our army. I stopped him to see where he came from."
"good!"
Dian Wei came out of the queue, spurred the red rabbit horse, walked towards the opponent, and shouted: "Those in front, stop!"
Call...
The soldier who was running back at full speed saw someone intercepting him and quickly tightened the reins and stopped. The man was panting on the horse, and the horse under him was also breathing heavily.
It looked like they had been running for a long time.
"who are you?"
The man was almost out of breath, and said loudly: "I have urgent military information, and I want to send it back to Prime Minister Cao. Please don't stop me, otherwise the information will be delayed, and you can't afford it!"
Chen Zhou had already followed and said, "Give me the military information. My name is Chen Zhou."
Of course that person knew who Chen Zhou was. After looking at their lineup, he saw that although he had never met Dian Wei, he had seen what Chitu looked like. He finally recognized who Dian Wei was and said quickly: "I have met Mr. General."
"This is the military situation in Liangzhou in the northwest."
He took out the military intelligence that he was personally protecting, rode forward on his horse, and handed it to Chen Zhou.
northwest?
Chen Zhou frowned.
You must know that the northwest is still a somewhat sensitive area for Cao Cao.
Chen Zhou had to pay attention to the urgent military information in this place. He opened it and took a look. It was Zhong Yao who sent someone back, and it was about the Liangzhou Incident.
"Evil, your red rabbit horse is faster, send it back to the lord immediately."
Chen Zhou shouted: "That's it for today, you go back first, I have to go see the lord."
Dian Wei took over the military information and ran directly to the city gate.
Cao Shan and the others knew there was something urgent going on, so they sensible enough not to interfere too much and went home together.
After entering the city gate, Chen Zhou separated from them and went straight to Prime Minister Cao's residence.
"Sir is here."
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Zhou saw Cao Ang waiting for him.
At the same time, Xun Yu and the others also came one after another.
With the speed of Dian Wei's Red Rabbit Horse, they had already sent back the military information. Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it, and immediately summoned all his advisers to discuss what should be done.
Chen Zhou came in and sat down.
Others also came, sat down together, and looked at Cao Cao.
"I have sent people to the northwest to verify whether this matter is true or not."
"Han Sui colluded with the foreign barbarians and attacked Liangzhou. Ma Teng was captured. Ma Dai, Pang De and others escaped and went to Chang'an for help. What do you think?"
Cao Cao asked someone to hand over the information to them for a look.
At that time, Chen Zhou pacified Guanzhong and took control of Liangzhou by subduing Ma Teng.
In the past few years, Ma Teng has sincerely surrendered to Cao Cao, which is why he has done so many things for Cao Cao in Liangzhou. Moreover, Ma Chao is still in Cao Cao's army, so he can't even think about it sincerely.
But Ma Teng's control of Liangzhou is only temporary and not enough.
After Ma Teng surrendered, Cao Cao fought in the north and south. He had not yet penetrated his power deeply into Liangzhou, and it was not considered true control. What happened now.
Chen Zhou predicted that Liangzhou would still be in chaos sooner or later. There was no room for two tigers in one mountain. Han Sui and Ma Teng were both in Liangzhou, so it would be difficult to avoid chaos.
But I never thought it would become chaotic so quickly.
According to Chen Zhou's prediction, there may be chaos when Cao Cao launches troops in the south.
Chen Zhou was actually planning how to persuade Cao Cao to go deep into Liangzhou to ensure that the rear area was safe and sound before launching troops to the south.
But before his plan even started, Han Sui disrupted the situation.
Fortunately, it’s not a big problem!
Sooner or later they will send troops to Liangzhou, now it is just a matter of advance.
After seeing the information, everyone was silent at first.
"My lord, Han Sui colluded with foreign tribes, invaded Liangzhou, burned, killed and looted. We should send troops to quell the rebellion."
Liu Ye first said: "Let's not talk about how big the threat Liangzhou is to us, and the question of whether to save Ma Shoucheng or not. Just saying that Han Sui colluded with foreigners and invaded Liangzhou is no longer tolerated."
Du Ji was the first to agree: "That's right! Han Sui's ambition and the introduction of foreigners will definitely cause chaos in Liangzhou and the displacement of the people. If he is allowed to enter Yongzhou, the whole of Guanzhong may suffer. Xiaoguan may not be able to stop those greedy people. of foreigners.”
From the intelligence sent back by Zhong Yao, it can be seen that those foreign barbarians have been robbing people and women in Guzang.
They still don't know what the relationship between Han Sui and the foreign Hu people is.
But no matter whether they make good friends or bad friends in the future, those barbarians will never be satisfied with the status quo. After they come in once, they will try their best to come in a second time.
This is sad news for the people in the northwest.
Xun Yu said: "My lord, this battle must be fought. We must send troops to Liangzhou."
They were all beaten on the head by foreigners.
It is absolutely impossible not to fight, otherwise those foreigners will take advantage of them.
After listening to what they said, and then looking at the military information sent back, Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he said for a long time: "This battle must be fought! Send an order to suspend the expansion of the south, concentrate our forces, and attack the foreign barbarians first, and kill them. Drive them all out to avenge the people of Liangzhou."
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou also spoke and said resolutely: "Liangzhou is still very important to my lord. If we cannot stabilize the northwest before going south, as long as the people in the south collude with the enemies in the northwest, it will be trouble for us. !”
What he didn't know was that Liu Bei from Jingzhou in the south was already colluding.
Without Liu Bei's promotion, even if Han Sui wanted to rebel, he would not have done so quickly.
Just as Chen Zhou finished speaking, a figure hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Lord!"
The news about Liangzhou had already spread. Ma Chao got the news and rushed in with Ma Tie regardless.
Ma Chao entered the meeting hall, bowed deeply and said loudly: "Ma Chao, please go to war and kill the traitor Han Sui. If the lord has no intention of going to war, please allow my third brother and I to go back and save our father." ,revenge!"
His voice echoed powerfully in the meeting hall.
But he seemed very anxious.
Something happened to Ma Teng. As his son, Ma Chao couldn't help but worry.
It was unknown what the situation was like in the northwest. It was also unclear whether Ma Teng was dead. He wished he could put on his wings and fly back to take a look.
At the same time, eager for revenge.
"Please allow me, my lord!"
Ma Tie echoed loudly.
The voices of the two brothers echoed for a while.
Cao Cao said loudly: "Meng Qi, I can understand your mood. I am preparing to send an order to gather the army and go to Liangzhou. Since you are here..."
He paused for a while and shouted: "Ma Chao listened to the order and led 10,000 troops as the vanguard. He set off immediately. He first went to Chang'an to see Zhong Yuanchang. Instead of cooperating with him to guard Xiaoguan, don't give the barbarians a chance to fight. Wait until I lead the army to follow, then save people and take revenge!"
