The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 274 The white knight highlights the rescue of the emperor, kill!

Speaking of it, Zhuge Liang first proposed this idea, but Sima Yi didn't understand the depth of it, so he agreed on the spot on behalf of Cao Pi.

It has to be said that there are really many benefits to gaining the right to continue trading in the canal.

After all, although Qing and Xu are the largest grain-growing areas, there are no chambers of commerce in Yanzhou and Yangzhou. The people here can only exchange money or ore for food, so as to hoard enough food for the winter.

The canal in the territory can not only promote the rapid development of commerce in the two places, but also quickly integrate with the business circles in Qingzhou and Xuzhou for mutual benefit.

This is only one aspect, as for the second aspect of benefits... it is today's secret operations.

The reason why Xi Yu asked all merchant ships to carry their seals was to prevent the border guards from wantonly inspecting. At least, they would not inspect every ship and every corner carefully.

As long as the ship arrives at the port, they will take a glance at the seal, and will not ask any more questions after seeing the seal, and let it unload the cargo by itself.

Of course, they are not fools, and they will not stay together on the same boat, because the goal is too big.

Therefore, it was broken into pieces, scattered into ten waves or even more ships, and flowed down the river along Hefei, all the way to Yanzhou, and then arrived near Luoyang in the shortest time.

As far as Cao Pi's current situation is concerned, there are only two ways to go. One is to rebuild Luoyang, but judging from the economic situation in their territory, they may not be able to afford such a large amount of money.

After all, the severance pay for the Qingzhou soldiers was all he had to work hard to get together with his clan and brains.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Cao Pi really can't get any money out, but he thinks that instead of spending money on meaningless things like building Luoyang, he might as well do something else constructive.

For example, the development of internal affairs and national power.

Since Luoyang could not be built, but he agreed to Xi Yu, Cao Pi had no choice but to choose the second path - to Chang'an!

As early as a few years ago, after Chang'an was captured, he dealt with Li Cui decisively, thus consolidating the clan and laying a solid mass foundation for himself.

In addition, Zhong Yao, who is loyal to the emperor, also has a good impression of the Cao family, and many of his cronies are also in Chang'an, which is also a good thing for him.

After all, Zhong Yao had already planned where the emperor would be.

Therefore, Chang'an City is equivalent to a palace that does not require money for Cao Pi. Not only does he not need to spend his time to repair it, but even the clans in the territory are loyal to him and the great man.

Therefore, he would rather go to Chang'an than Luoyang!
Now, they have embarked on the road of moving the capital.

On the hillside, Cao Pi looked at Luoyang, which was getting farther and farther away from him, and felt very uncomfortable.

In fact, after living in Luoyang for so long, the surrounding area has been repaired to some extent. Although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang in the past, it has somewhat reappeared the glory of a big city.

It's a pity that no matter how shiny the dusty gold is, there is no sun that can shine on it.

Once upon a time, Luoyang, the most prosperous and prosperous city, finally concealed its resplendent edge in the long river of history.

I don't know whether it is possible to regain its glory.

"Everyone, the sharp edge of the sword has been sharpened. Today's Luoyang is just a short-term end. Sooner or later, we will come back and regain its former glory!"

"That's why today everyone just take a look at it. It's better to hurry up and hurry. Since we have decided to transfer the emperor to Chang'an quietly, we must not make any forks on the way!"

His expression was indifferent, his eyes were cold and determined.

For some reason, this operation was obviously quite secretive, but he just felt uneasy, and always felt that something would go wrong.

"What's wrong with me? The [-] troops participating in this operation are all clan relatives, and they were all recruited in secret. Even the commander-in-chief of the army, the Xiahou family, didn't even notice it. Naturally, no one will find out and tell the truth. Now, why should I be nervous..."

Cao Pi couldn't help comforting himself in his heart, but for some reason, his right eyelid jumped faster and faster, making him more flustered.

He even began to doubt his own abilities, and those few clan uncles...
Speaking of which, his clan uncles are completely superior to him no matter on the battlefield or in handling internal affairs. The most important thing is that even his own reputation is far behind him.

This is also the main reason why he is willing to back down on Xi Yu's issue.

After all, if he doesn't retreat and Xi Yu is unstable, he will probably keep looking for his own faults and troubles.

On the other hand, given him part of the territory to keep him busy, he has no time to pay attention to his own movements.

For at least half a year, Xi Yu will focus on building the defense of the eastern city of Jizhou and handling internal affairs.

But at this time, he chose to transfer the emperor to Chang'an, thinking that he would be able to hide it from everyone.

Speaking of which, Liu Xie is not young anymore, but even in his prime, he still doesn't have a trustworthy person around him.

Xi Yu will not mention it for the time being, but he will say that his other uncle, Dong Cheng, was sent to a very remote county to govern a long time ago because of his father's death.

In the future, even if he becomes a marquis, the only way he can go is to die of old age far away from the capital, which can be regarded as a reluctant death.

"What Wei Gong said is, let's hurry up and hurry up. I think we will arrive near Chang'an in another seven days. At that time, the soldiers and horses in Chang'an city will come out of the city to welcome them. I think we don't need to wait for the world to tell everyone. Where the Son of Heaven goes."

Sima Yi followed behind Cao Pi, bowing slightly.

Ever since he came back from Xi Yu, he was secretly arranged by Cao Pi to participate in this matter. Although he was a little surprised, he still quite agreed with it from the bottom of his heart.

After all, if it was him, he would do the same.

Not only can it stop the war, but it can also divert Xi Yu's attention. The most important thing is that he can secretly divert the emperor in a corner where no one is around.

Speaking of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, I am afraid that he will have to live under the fence for the rest of his life. Even when he is in danger, there is no way to get rid of this situation.

Now, there is naturally no way to escape.

"Well, let's go."

Cao Pi nodded, turned down the hillside, then he remembered something, turned his head and frowned and said, "By the way, how is Zidan's preparation going?"

Speaking of which, this is what worries him the most right now.

Cao Zhen had just lost the battle, and a person who was full of confidence was beaten by Huang Xu, and he was a little suspicious of his life.

It is said that everyone is in the same age group, and they are all young talents who are second to none in their respective camps, but in the end, when they clearly have many times more troops than the enemy, they forcefully make the opponent unable to hold their heads up.

It's nothing more than being played around, even the entire [-] army lost their lives because of this, so how can he cheer up?

Cao Pi did not mobilize Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other clan generals because he saw his sluggish appearance. Instead, he handed over such important matters, including the [-] army, to Cao Zhen.

The purpose is not only to reduce the surveillance of spies from other camps, but also to give Cao Zhen another chance to mobilize his enthusiasm and even self-confidence through this incident.

In any case, Cao Zhen is the leader of the younger generation in his army, if it is ruined, it will be a big blow to the army.

"It feels pretty good. I think Cao Zhen's current state is much better than before. It should be out of the previous blow. If the capital move goes smoothly this year, I think there will be no more wars in the next two or three years."

"In this way, we also have time to develop internal affairs. Presumably Cao Zhen will gradually forget the past failures as time goes by, and everything will be fine!"

When Sima Yi said this, he not only looked relaxed on the surface, but also relaxed a lot in his heart. After all, for him right now, even though he had just suffered a defeat, the other party agreed to reconcile.

The key thing is to talk about it yourself!
Not only did I keep the peace in the territory, but I also gave everyone enough respite and even time to develop.

In this way, it is believed that while promoting the development of internal affairs, there will be a steady stream of newcomers joining the ranks of the army. Cao Pi presumably will increase the use of newcomers from the gentry in addition to using people from the clan.

Speaking of which, besides Cao Pi's family, it seems that there are not many gentry cronies who are really trusted by him, and their Sima family is one of them, and it is the most core part.

Of course, apart from the Sima family, Chen Qun, Hua Xin, Zhong Yaogao, and Cao Pi treat each other differently.

Among this group of people, Chen Qun had the best relationship with Sima Yi.

The two agreed on many things, as if they had discussed it in advance.

Hearing him say that everything is ready, Cao Pi's restless heart was a little relieved.

Then, the army continued to set off towards Chang'an City.

When he was about to reach the official road of Chang'an City, Cao Zhen stopped the army from advancing.

During this period of time, he was always suspicious like a frightened bird.

Right now, the reason for stopping the army is only because it feels that the forest in the distance seems to be too quiet. The quietness makes people panic...
He frowned, several scar marks on his face were still faintly visible.

In just a few months, although the whip marks from Cao Chun had completely healed, the scars on his face were hard to recover in a short time.

After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find any suspicious signs, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, there is not much distance from Chang'an City right now.

As long as you pass through this forest, you will be on the plain in a short time.

However, in the tens of miles of plains, if there is any problem or attack along the way, the cavalry can rush to support in the fastest time.

I want to come... There will be no mistakes along the way...
Although he thought so, Cao Zhen always felt a little unreal when he saw that the journey was safe and sound.

The black and white rider's disappearance left a deep shadow on him, and he always felt that at some point, the black and white rider would suddenly appear in front of him.

but······
Cao Zhen felt that no matter where the black knights appeared, it was normal. After all, their main focus on the battlefield was to be elusive and heroic.

Unlike Bai Qi, especially that bastard Huang Xu, whenever you think he will appear, he will not appear, but whenever you are sure that he will not appear, he will appear in your In front of him, it is really annoying.

"Hope this trip goes well!"

Cao Zhen took a deep breath, his heart was quite restless at the moment, even a little crazy.

The main reason is that even though they fought a battle with Huang Xu last time, they fought at least a dozen times, and they were really afraid of being beaten.

but······
There is a good saying, what to be afraid of.

Whenever you least want to see a certain person or do a certain thing, the other person will quickly find you and make you have to give in.

Just like now, there was a sudden movement in the nearby grass!
"Damn it, there really is an ambush!"

"Hurry up and pay attention to the vigilance, there is an enemy attack! Send someone to the mountain to have a look!"

"General, this may not be an enemy attack! We sent people to patrol the surrounding area in the morning. Not to mention this forest, even the valleys in the distance have not been spared. We will check any place where the enemy may be ambushed. After several times, there will be absolutely no problem!"

Just as he was giving orders in a panic, a captain calmly walked by.

He had known this person since he was a child, and he had personally chosen to join this operation.

Speaking of which, the authority Cao Zhen got from Cao Pi this time is really not low.

Perhaps it is because the two parties have known each other since they were young, and Cao Pi has always regarded Cao Zhen as his next right-hand man over the years, so he has been given a great honor.

For this operation, not only the captain, but even the school captain and even the marching Sima were personally selected by Cao Zhen.

Similarly, these people are also people he can get close to and trust!
"Oh? Are you sure?"

Cao Zhen really wanted to point at the opponent's nose and scold at the moment, but he held back when he thought that the opponent was his friend in the army.

"Let's send someone to investigate first. The general would rather be more careful than slack in the slightest. There must be no mistakes in this westward move!"

He spoke very calmly, without any anger.

Because he still remembers Cao Cao's simple and clear evaluation of himself before his death: "As a general, don't be angry, anger will lose your reason, and you must face it calmly at any time."

The key point was that Xi Zhicai conveyed it to him on his behalf.

Although he was not reconciled in his heart, it was undeniable that this was indeed his biggest shortcoming.

Therefore, even if he was desperate and worried, he always forced himself to be calm and clear-headed, and he must not be a little impatient.

Therefore, even though he had just inspected the surrounding environment half an hour ago, he still ordered someone to inspect the surrounding environment carefully again.

Be careful sailing for thousands of years, this sentence is always justified!
After all, how much snow has accumulated in the two forests in the distance, how thick it is, and there are still many unknown hillsides and valleys below, it is easy to ambush people.

It can be said that if you want to hinder your westward migration, this place is the best place to ambush.

The advantage of the terrain is that if there are enemies rushing out of the woods on both sides, it is almost equivalent to the fact that all the highlands on both sides of the army are occupied by the enemy.

The most important thing is that if the opponent has a cavalry team, they can break up their formation in a short while!
Even though... it doesn't look like anything unusual right now...

It's just that he overlooked one point, that is the armor and equipment of the white knight!

The figure of Baiqi may be very conspicuous in spring, summer and autumn, but it is difficult to find in winter.

After all, it snows in the north in winter, and everywhere is covered with ice and snow, especially near Chang'an, the whole world turns into a piece of snow white.

Rao, a place like Luoyang, where the four seasons are like spring, will become snow-covered and covered in silver in winter, let alone Chang'an. As the army advances, the air seems to gradually condense.

And this is just convenient for Baiqi, no matter their mounts, equipment, or even their armor can perfectly integrate with this world.

Even the long spears and crossbows in their hands are made of snow-white sterling silver supplemented with other exotic metals from outside the Great Wall or materials such as refined steel.

Coupled with the fact that they deliberately hide their figures, they who already fit the environment are now even more concealed to the extreme.

The most important thing is that because of the snow, they don't need them to sweep the tail. The goose feather snow perfectly covers the traces left by everyone. In addition, it is the sunset and the sky is already foggy, which plays an excellent role for them. cover.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Before the hundreds of guards rushed into the forest, a few cold arrows dropped many of them.

Seeing the soldiers falling off their horses one by one, falling to the ground with no breath, Cao Zhen was completely dumbfounded.

calm?This bitch is still calm ass!
Didn't you see the corpses of the [-]-man patrol team all spread out on the ground?

"Ah~~~"

Cao Zhen's face was full of madness, but there was no light in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, he hadn't thought of such a scene at all, nor had he thought about how to deal with such a thing.

Originally calling someone to patrol was just in case. Who would have thought that there would be an ambush on the opposite side, and the mother would suddenly shoot a cold arrow.

Now it's all right, not only the patrolling soldiers died, but also the enemy was blown out.

In an instant, a straight road suddenly appeared in the woods that was originally covered by heavy snow. Although some places were bumpy and uneven, it was not a problem under the watering of blood.

Immediately afterwards, in the depths of the snow melted by the blood, there was a sound of horseshoes.

Soon, Bai Qi, who was almost integrated with the surrounding environment, took the lead and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Looking at Huang Xu's handsome face, Cao Zhen was extremely irritated.

"Hahaha, brothers, to save the emperor, kill!"

"Save the Son of Heaven! Kill!"

Following Huang Xu's order, the thousands of white riders with cold and serious faces came towards Cao Zhen bravely and ferociously.

They straddled their horses and galloped wildly while not forgetting to pull their crossbows and shoot arrows.

The perfect combination of "shooting" and "imperial" is self-evident who made this typical fighting posture.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
