At the foot of Luofeng Slope, the wind was blowing, and an old man with gray hair and childish face walked slowly.
He obviously seemed to be stumbling, but his walking speed was not slow. He was still counting something on his fingers as he walked.
When he reached the creek, he frowned and stared at the ground.
Not long ago, Zuo Ci died here, but Cao Asan was a veteran in killing people and did not leave any traces at the scene.
The old man wandered around here for a long time, but found nothing and shook his head in confusion.
Finally, he murmured to the stream: "This Luofengpo looks like more than just Luofeng. Cao Wu is so good, he dares to kill even us immortals. It's really..."
He thought for a long time and finally said: "How audacious!"
"We don't want to target you directly, but you insist on getting into trouble today, so don't blame us for being ruthless!"
He looked to the west, his sight seemed to go through infinite distance, and said angrily: "From today on, we are going to cause a bloody storm. Let's see if you can take it!"
The old man stretched out his palm, put his crutch on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The Three Kingdoms must work hard!"
…
Liu Bei was stunned by the sight before him. The man named Fazheng arranged a grand banquet for him.
There were dozens of Yizhou civil and military officials at the banquet, and they all expressed their desire for Liu Bei to take over Yizhou. ,
A general named Meng Da raised his glass and said: "General Yizhou has been looking forward to it for too long!"
Liu Bei was a little drunk. He stood up unsteadily and poured the wine in his glass under the gaze of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"solitary……"
He hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, and whispered: "Ji Yu is a member of the lonely clan and needs to be treated kindly."
Hearing this, Fazheng's face turned red. He stood up and said loudly: "The general is indeed a hero. I heard that Cao A'ao once said that the only heroes in the world are the general and him. When I meet him today, he is worthy of his reputation. Those who achieve great things. , how can we stick to trivial matters!"
"good!"
Meng Da and other officials also stood up one after another.
It was here that they discussed ways to capture Yizhou.
It was here that they decided the fate of Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren and others.
Liu Bei did not notice, however, that during the banquet, several people looked at each other, as if they had been in contact with each other for a long time and had been matched by someone.
Among them was his counselor Ma Liang, He Fa Zheng Fa Xiaozhi.
…
The old man looked towards the north and slapped his cane again.
"Wu Hu must mess with China!"
…
It is nearly a thousand miles north of Youzhou and has been a bitter cold place since ancient times. It is already May, but it is still freezing to the bone.
A young man with knife marks all over his face trudged hard in the snow. When he was tired, he sat in the snow for a while, and when he was hungry, he ate some snow cubes.
As he fled north, he gradually adapted to such a life, and his eyes gradually became hollow.
He looked back to the south and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Cao Wu's pursuers were no longer coming.
"Cao Wu, when I, Sima Fu, invade the Central Plains one day, that will be the day you die without a burial!"
He clutched a piece of snow tightly and was about to continue trekking when he suddenly saw a group of people appearing in front of him.
A young man was riding a horse on the snow. The horse seemed to have been specially trained, and it traveled very fast in the snow.
When the young man saw Sima Fu, he quickly reined in his horse, looked at him curiously, and asked something.
Sima Fu frowned. He couldn't understand the language the young man spoke at all, and asked doubtfully: "Are you a Huns? Southern Huns or Northern Huns?"
In his impression, the Southern Huns had moved inland, and only the Northern Huns would appear so far north. However, there were also rumors that the Northern Huns had left here and gone to more distant places in the west.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look behind him. A young woman in smart clothes rode up to the front.
The woman had a beautiful appearance, but she grew up in a bitter cold place, and her face was stained red by the weather.
"Huns? We are, not, Huns!"
The woman stumbled and said.
Although she was not fluent in Chinese, she was able to communicate. Sima Fu said happily: "The Qiang people are in the west. Since they are not Huns, are you Wuhuan people? Or Fuyu people?"
When the woman heard Wuhuan's name, she was obviously unhappy. She sneered and said, "No! We are from Xianbei!"
"Xianbei..."
Sima Fu was a little confused. He was from a noble family in Hanoi. Although he was proficient in classics, he was still relatively unfamiliar with the name Xianbei.
"Xianbei, warrior on the grassland!"
The woman was quite talkative and said loudly: "Ugly, come with us!"
"What to do?"
"Go and meet Tuoba Khan. Tuoba's name will be praised on the grassland for thousands of years!"
…
The old man looked at his hands and said leisurely: "But the fate of the Han Dynasty has ended, and the Wei Dynasty must replace the Han Dynasty. Those who replace the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao."
…
Cao Pi got the letter and repeatedly confirmed the content before he anxiously went to find his good-for-nothing brother.
He was surprised to find that it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Cao Zhi was sleeping soundly on the table. He didn't know how much wine he drank last night.
"stand up!"
Cao Pi patted him, but there was no response.
Cao Pi then said angrily: "Get up, our uncle is rich, don't you want to know?"
Cao Zhi rolled his eyes and woke up.
"See for yourself!"
Cao Pi threw the letter to him.
Cao Zhi first read the cover of the letter and was shocked: "Who is this Ge Xuan? Why do you have his letter?"
"Don't worry about that, look carefully."
Cao Pi said patiently.
The more Cao Zhi watched, the more frightened he became, and finally stood up: "What should we do!"
"What should we do? We have to listen to him and use that strategy!"
Cao Pi said with a cold light in his eyes.
…
On the way back north, Cao Wu was stopped again, but not by his enemies, but by Zhao Yan and Wenpin.
These two people came here after a long journey and led their troops to wait here for who knows how long.
They learned about the victory in Jiaozhou later than Lu Su. Since the victory was determined, they stayed here to guard against Lu Su's sneak attack.
Seeing Cao Wu's troops approaching, Zhao Yan turned over and dismounted, walked dozens of steps, clasped his fists and bowed, "General Beifu!"
This action surprised Wenpin and also surprised Cao Xiu.
It seemed that Zhao Yan relied more on Cao Wu than they imagined.
Cao Wu did not hesitate, dismounted to greet him, and met Wenpin face to face.
The two armies marched side by side, and when they talked about the war in Jiaozhou, both Zhao and Wen sighed.
Zhao Yan said: "If Mr. Lu hadn't commanded the situation and Mr. Zhuge had planned Jiaozhi, I'm afraid the situation would still be chaotic."
He did not praise Cao Wu, but Zhuge and Lu were Cao Wu's retainers. To praise them was to praise Cao Wu himself.
Cao Wu shook his head and said: "We have also suffered a great loss. When we left, there were thousands of tiger and leopard riders, but now there are only more than 600 left. Three hundred young lives have been left in the southernmost part of the world forever."
Cao Xiu lowered his eyes sadly, and Wenpin felt the same way. He knew that Cao Wu only talked about the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but in fact, the losses of other troops of Cao's army must also be considerable, otherwise they would not have returned north by now and would still need to stay in Jiaozhou. Replenish troops.
"But luckily we won."
Cao Wu smiled at Yangguan Zhanyan, and then in order to liven up the atmosphere, he joked: "Prince Zhao, don't forget my brother's orders."
Zhao Yan quickly said seriously: "Of course I won't forget it."
Before leaving that day, Cao Cao told Zhao Yan and Wenpin to train their navy to capture Jiangdong. Of course, the two of them kept it in mind and did not dare to forget it for a moment.
After the greetings were completed, Cao Wu said to the Jiangxia soldiers recruited by Wenpin: "I am Cao Wu, the general of Beifu!"
One sentence made Jiang Xiabing excited, and they cheered Cao Wu's name.
Cao Wu saved Jiangxia many times and had great prestige in Jiangxia. Jiangxia was a military hub on the border with Jiangdong and had always been poor. People here were very grateful to Cao Wu.
After cheering, Cao Wu said nothing more and led his army northward.
In the correct order, everyone should find their own position.
On the way, Diao Chan saw that Cao Wu actually had something on his mind and kept sitting on Cao Wu's horse, riding the same horse as Cao Wei.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all used to having such a woman next to Cao Wu. Even if Diao Chan didn't dress up as a man, they wouldn't be surprised. After all, in addition to Diao Chan, there were also several maids from the Beifu.
Diao Chan grabbed the saddle and asked, "Is it really okay to kill an immortal like this?"
"They are just fake immortals. Real immortals are illusory and we cannot see them."
"But... I feel that they should have many people and be an organization."
Cao Wu nodded: "There should indeed be a lot of people. Maybe the name of their organization is Immortal? But it's just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. If you are afraid, you will fall into their rhythm. They can come at me. .Come to me..."
Cao Wu concluded: "It's better to come to me than to come to my brother."
Just at this time, a horseman came from the front of the official road. Facing Cao Jun's flag, he shouted: "There is a letter for General Beifu!"
"Let me get the letter!"
Cao Wuming got the letter, opened it and read it, and couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?"
Diao Chan was curious, but she kept to her duty and did not read what was written on it.
"Xun You, Xun Gongda, Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde all invited me at the same time. They probably have something important to do. I suspect that someone wants to do harm to my brother."
Cao Wu replied in a deep voice.
