Just thinking about it made Cao Pi feel cold and at a loss.

At this time, he had no other way but to try it according to what Sima Yi said.

"Sir, I'm going to the Prime Minister's mansion tonight. If my father doesn't come back, I won't leave the house for a day." Cao Pi said through gritted teeth.

Staying in the Prime Minister's mansion all the time to handle government affairs is boring even if you think about it. If it goes on like this, it will probably drive people crazy.

But for the future, Cao Pi decided to fight.

"Good, Second Young Master is like this. After the Prime Minister returns to Xuchang, he will surely gain something." Sima Yi smiled and nodded.

Cao Pi's mind is really good, and this is something that Cao Zhi can't compare.

This is also the reason why he is willing to follow Cao Pi's side.

"Well." Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi gratefully, "If so, I will definitely thank Mr.

"No need, I'm helping the son, I'm just helping myself." Sima Yi shook his head, and then suddenly said something inexplicable, "The winter is about to end, and the number of snakes and worms in this mansion is gradually increasing. When you have time, send someone to the old minister's mansion to help you clean it up."

Ok?

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sima Yi in confusion.

How could this be related to the snakes and worms in the house?

Besides, with Sima Yi's status, it's not difficult to invite some servants to sweep the house on his own, so why should he send him to help?

This is totally unreasonable.

It's just that Sima Yi couldn't say such a clueless remark for no reason. Cao Pi frowned and thought, but he couldn't get the point. Yes, the snakes and worms in this mansion like children the most."

hum!

When Sima Yi said what he said this time, Cao Pi instantly understood.

He only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and looked at Sima Yi in disbelief.

But at this time, after Sima Yi finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes and went to rest.

Cao Pi glanced at Sima Yi with a gloomy expression, and his heart was entangled and angry.

After half a stick of incense, Cao Pi calmed down, and he bit the corners of his lips with blood.

"The person who is the Lord, be ruthless!"

Cao Pi murmured something, and his heart suddenly became clearer. He withdrew his gaze from Sima Yi, and then lowered his eyes like Sima Yi, making it impossible for people to see his expression clearly.

the other side.

Cao Zhi was discussing the poetry meeting with Yang Xiu in the carriage. When he thought that he could win the top spot among many celebrities, Cao Zhi was very excited.

It has to be said that compared with Cao Pi, Cao Zhi is still too "simple".

……

a day later.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren led the army to Luoyang, and they temporarily camped and rested in this former capital of Han.

The frames of Cao Cao and Su Chen naturally also stopped.

Different from Cao Cao's familiarity with Luoyang, Su Chen is now coming to Luoyang for the first time.

At this time, seeing the wreckage of the broken city, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The two hundred-year-old capital of the Han Dynasty was reduced to ashes by Dong Zhuo's fire.

Even standing on this ruin, he could imagine how prosperous the city of Luoyang was back then.

Now that such a huge city has been destroyed, Dong Zhuo just slapped his ass and left, and it is the common people who suffer.

There are not a hundred people in Luoyang City, and the people who still stay are old people who have nowhere to go, and there are not many young people.

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!"

"Ugh……"

Su Chen sighed, seeing the appearance of those people who were not fully clothed, he couldn't bear it any longer.

"That's a wonderful statement from the military advisor."

Cao Cao was by Su Chen's side, he immediately turned his head after hearing what he said, and said 0 with bright eyes...

This sentence goes into the rise and fall of dynasties in the world and the suffering of the common people. It can be seen that this strategist of his own sacrifices wine.

"Let the Prime Minister laugh, it's just a momentary emotion."

"I don't know what year and month this Luoyang city will be able to restore its former prosperity, and when will the people who have gone away return to their hometowns and become ordinary farmers who leave the morning and return late."

Su Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hearing that, Cao Cao gave Su Chen a deep look, then raised his hand and patted Su Chen's shoulder lightly.

"Master, can you trust me?" Cao Cao asked seriously.

"The prime minister is the master of the world. Since I help the prime minister, I naturally trust the prime minister." Su Chen said.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then with a clanging sound he pulled out the saber from his waist, inserted it directly on the ground, and said solemnly, "Give me ten years, and I will definitely make Luoyang City no longer as defeated as it is today. Mutually."

"Ten years from now, I want the people of Luoyang City to join the people, the lights of all houses will not go out, and there will be people in the sunrise, and children will cry at night, and cocks and dogs bark."

After saying that, Cao Cao grabbed Su Chen's arm and grabbed it heavily.

"I swear by this sword, counselor, would you like to accompany me to see that scene?"

Su Chen nodded, then let go of Cao Cao's big hand, and gave a solemn salute: "The Prime Minister invites you, Ning Yi will accompany you!"

"Ten years later, I will come back to Luoyang with the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Okay, with a military advisor to accompany me, I have nothing to fear."

It can be seen that Cao Cao is really happy.

This is the joy of finding a confidant.

Cao Cao is a hero with ambition, dreams and principles.

What he wants to create is not an era that belongs to the family, but an era that belongs to the people.

It was difficult, but Cao Cao wanted to fight.

Although, at present, only Su Chen supports him by his side, but he is content!

"Report!"

"Breakthrough emergency report!"

Suddenly, a fast horse came rushing in from a distance. The scout on the horse got off the horse as soon as he arrived nearby, and knelt down in front of Cao Cao with a face full of embarrassment.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Xiliang army has broken through the Sanguan, and the city of Chang'an has also been captured within a day. Now the Xiliang army is attacking Xuchang."

After the messenger finished speaking, Cao Cao's expression changed.

"It's beyond my expectation that the pass is lost so quickly."

"It seems that this Xiliang army is really difficult to deal with."

Cao Cao frowned, he turned his head to look at Su Chen and asked, "Counselor, if this loose pass is lost, the Xiliang army can go down the Weihe River, what should we do now?"

"Prime Minister, it stands to reason that although the Xiliang army is brave, there are more than [-] defenders who have scattered through the pass. It is impossible to be captured so quickly." Su Chen shook his head and said.

The Xiliang army brought by Ma Chao was mostly cavalry, and they were not good at attacking cities. Besides, there were more than [-] elite Cao troops in the pass. Unless the Xiliang army could fly, Su Chen didn't think that Ma Chao could break the pass so quickly.

There must be other reasons for this.

"Tell me, how did Sanguan get lost?" Cao Cao also felt that something was wrong, and asked the kneeling messenger.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Ma Chao's vanguard army was [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, it was difficult to capture the scattered pass, but later Han Sui gathered troops and horses from six towns, a total of [-] troops came to support, and this was achieved in one fell swoop. Let's go to the exit." The messenger replied.

"[-] troops!"

"That's not surprising." Cao Cao nodded and sneered, "Han Sui, Ma Chao seems to be determined to take my Cao Cao's head."

"Okay, great."

"All the troops of Xiliang are here, and it saves me going to Xiliang to destroy them one by one. It saves me a lot of time."

The [-]-strong army was [-] more than the soldiers and horses he brought. If the difference in combat strength between the two armies was calculated, on the surface, if he fought Ma Chao in this battle, he would definitely lose.

However, the army was inconstant, and at the battle of Guandu, he could defeat Yuan Shao, and he could defeat Ma Chao again today.

"You retreat first." Cao Cao waved his hand to let the messengers retreat, and then looked at Su Chen, "Master, now that [-] troops from Xiliang are attacking, our army is weak, how should we meet the enemy?"

"Prime Minister, Han Sui brought [-] soldiers and horses to assist Ma Chao. For us, it is rather good news." Su Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Cao Cao looked at Su Chen unexpectedly.

This is a full [-] troops, how can it be good news? .

Chapter 210

Outside Luoyang City.

Su Chen glanced at Cao Cao and said with a smile:

"Prime Minister, think about it, originally, after the Xiliang army had conquered the customs, the [-] iron cavalry would be able to take Chang'an lightly, and then they could go down the Wei River and bypass Luoyang to attack Xuchang."

"But now there are more than [-] soldiers and horses in plain sight. Not to mention whether there are so many ships in the Xiliang Army to cross the river, there are enough ships, but the food and grass are too heavy for the Xiliang Army to transport."

"At the same time, in order to avoid being cut off by our army, Han Sui and Ma Chao must choose a transit place to store food and grass, and also need to be prepared to be cut off by our army."

"According to this calculation, Han Sui and Ma Chao must first capture Luoyang before they can fight our army with confidence."

"In this way, Xuchang will be safe in a short period of time."

"In order to win Luoyang, we must first capture Tongguan. With the strength of Tongguan, we can last for at least ten days, which is enough for us to stop Ma Chao's army from crossing the river."

"Furthermore, there are two commanders in the first army. Let's ask the Prime Minister, is this Xiliang army listening to Han Sui or Ma Chao?"

"At that time, if we can use a plan to separate the relationship between the two, then the army of [-] people in Xiliang will be destroyed without attacking."

After Su Chen finished speaking, Cao Cao's eyes became brighter.
