Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

ice city.

When Cao Ren led the troops back, Su Chen's luggage was almost packed.

In fact, he didn't have much to pack, just a few clothes, a dozen soldiers in the army, and a horse of Western Liang.

Originally, Su Chen wanted to ride back to Xuchang alone, so that he wouldn't have to waste time on the road.

（.『''本"群:每,日!;更:新:飞'卢".小!说"?』:『"若:.水,?群,!』;六?:五!六'?六?一?八;八!.九.六?"6:'5.6,?6.;1?8.'8?;9!.6;!）　　可那十多名悍卒非要跟着他，说是奉了曹仁的命令要保护他的安全，若是他一声不响的走了，曹仁发起火来，这些人恐怕要性命不保。

Helpless, Su Chen had no choice but to bring people along.

"Let's go."

Su Chen glanced at more than a dozen soldiers who were fully armed and had lean muscles. He couldn't help shaking his head. These people were at least captains in the army, but they were directly transferred by Cao Ren to protect his safety.

To be honest, it's a bit overkill.

These are the people on the battlefield, where talent - makes the most of it.

What's more, with his current force value, he doesn't really need the protection of others. As long as he doesn't encounter Guan Yu, a fierce general like Zhang Fei, no one in this world can threaten his life.

But since it was a kind offer from Cao Ren, he would not refuse.

The city gate opened, and a group of more than ten people rode out, heading towards Xuchang.

As for the inside of the ice city, Su Chen had already made arrangements. With the letters and military talismans he left behind, Cao Ren naturally knew what to do after reading it.

Moreover, he didn't know how the war last night was, and because Cao Cao's letter was urgent, he didn't have time to contact Cao Ren again to find out the specific situation.

"How long does it take to get back to Xuchang from here?" Su Chenchong asked a soldier next to him.

"Mr. Qijiu, if you travel day and night, it will take about three days." The soldier replied.

"Well, then it's hard work, everyone, and go with me. At this time in three days, we must enter Xuchang City." Su Chen nodded and said.

More than a dozen warriors nodded solemnly.

Traveling day and night on the road takes the most energy. They train often, and they should be able to hold on. What they worry about is Su Chen's weak body and bones, will he be able to persevere?

Don't wait until Xuchang City, but instead Su Chen is exhausted, and they will be blamed for their death.

"You don't need to worry about me, just drive at full speed." Su Chen naturally saw the worries of these people, shook his head and said.

With his physique, there is no problem with traveling day and night for three days.

In fact, if it is summer at this time, you can cross the river from the Weishui River, which can greatly save time.

It is a pity that it is now in the cold winter, and the river is frozen, making it difficult for boats to pass.

Su Chen had no choice but to choose to ride a horse.

More than a dozen people flew away, and soon disappeared.

An hour and a half after Su Chen left, the scouts in the ice city also found Cao Ren's army, and immediately greeted him.

"General Cao, there is a letter from Su Jijiu."

The scout came to Cao Ren's side, and immediately took out a letter from his close embrace.

Cao Ren did not dare to neglect, and quickly took over to check.

The content of the letter is very simple and only says two things.

First, the city of Xuchang was in danger, and the prime minister urgently called.

Second, if the Xiliang army is not defeated, then stick to Bingcheng, and let it retreat when the Xiliang army runs out of food and forage. If the Xiliang army is defeated, temporarily leave [-] soldiers and horses to garrison Bingcheng, and leave a general to garrison. , the rest of the troops and horses, hurry back to Xuchang as soon as possible.

After reading Su Chen's letter, Cao Ren's brows were tightly locked together, and a hint of unease appeared in his heart.

"General Cao, what happened, what did Su Jijiu's letter say?" Huang Zhong was by Cao Ren's side, when he saw Cao Ren's look after reading Su Chen's letter, he suddenly asked in shock.

Wei Yan and Zhao Ba on the side also looked over quickly.

It was about Su Chen, so they couldn't help but be nervous.

"Let's take a look." Cao Ren handed the letter to Huang Zhong and the others.

After a few people read it, they were as shocked as Cao Ren.

"What happened to make the prime minister urgently summon Su to sacrifice wine and return to Xuchang?"

Huang Zhong asked.

Cao Ren shook his head, he didn't know the reason.

The letter didn't say much, everything, I'm afraid they won't know the answer until they return to Bingcheng.

But Cao Ren still felt panic in his heart.

He knew Cao Cao very well, even if something big happened, he was still as steady as Mount Tai, and he would never frown.

Recalling that in the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao's most beloved son Cao Ang and general Dian Wei died in the battle at the same time, Cao Cao did not shed a single tear, nor did he panic.

Afterwards, they organized troops and horses to evacuate Wancheng safely.

Now that he is so anxious, it must be a great event.

"Order the entire army to speed up and return to the city."

Cao Ren was worried and wanted to return to Xuchang immediately to see what was going on.

But as the commander-in-chief of an army, he has military affairs and should focus on the overall situation.

The most urgent task at the moment is to solve the defense of Bingcheng and the problem of the troops from the Western Liang Dynasty.

"No." Huang Zhong and the others handed over.

The army immediately quickened its pace.

Although a lot of Xiliang soldiers were exhausted on the road, leading to complaints, but at this time Cao Ren couldn't care about that much.

The original three-hour journey, the army only took two hours to enter the ice city.

The first time he entered the city, Cao Ren temporarily handed over the military affairs to Huang Zhong and several others, and he went to the central tent alone.

There are also the military talismans and secret letters left by Su Chen, which are guarded by heavy troops, and no one can check them except him.

Soon, Cao Ren arrived.

The heavy soldiers at the door immediately put Cao Ren in.

There was no one in the central tent.

Cao Ren vaguely remembered that the Prime Minister brought Wen Wu here to discuss how to deal with the soldiers of Xiliang, but now, everyone has left.

Shaking his head to dispel his unease, Cao Ren stepped forward, without the military talisman, but opened the secret letter left by Su Chen to check.

"Master Chong died, Master Pi was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Master Zhi was stabbed in the middle of the night and was dying."

"The prime minister was in pain, suffered a headache, and fell into a semi-conscious state."

"Zi Xiao, if you read this letter, don't make a statement, and quickly lead your troops back to Xuchang. Remember, you must master the military power. In addition, the generals under your command, those who cannot be trusted, and those who belong to major families, will be temporarily dismissed from military positions. Bring it back to Xuchang for custody."

"Remember, don't be in a hurry, don't show any clues, everything can be the same as usual,"

"Burn after reading!"

Swish!

Cao Ren's expression changed instantly, and the letter in his hand also fell to the ground.

He thought about many possibilities, but he never expected that things would be more serious than he imagined.

Among the three sons that the prime minister valued most, one died and two were dying.

No one would be able to accept this, so the prime minister was mentally tough and could hold on. If he were an ordinary person, he might be driven crazy.

Cao Ren asked himself, if he encountered such a situation, it would be absolutely unbearable.

"Big brother!"

Cao Ren felt a little distressed for Cao Cao. What kind of grief should he feel in his heart when he lost his son in his later years?

Then there was a strong killing intent in his eyes, "Don't worry, this time, no matter who is secretly planning, as long as one person is found out, I will kill one person for Big Brother, and if a hundred people are found, I will kill one hundred people."

"Kill all the people who murdered the three young masters."

Cao Ren clenched his fists fiercely.

He stood there for a while, then immediately calmed his mind, picked up the letter on the ground, and threw it into the brazier, then Cao Ren grabbed the military talisman and shouted: "Send the order, let Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhao Ba and other generals come to see you. I."

After a small incense stick, more than [-] generals walked in.

Among them, Huang Zhong and other generals have an irreversible relationship with Su Chen, and they are absolutely trustworthy, as for the rest of the people.

Cao Ren narrowed his eyes and looked at them one by one.

The generals in the field were numb with Cao Ren's tiger eyes. They didn't dare to look at each other, and all bowed their heads.

After a while, Cao Ren suddenly laughed and said, "I called you here to discuss the return of the class teacher to Xuchang."

"You will obey your orders."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces returned to a relaxed look.

But following Cao Ren's order, many people's expressions changed instantly, and even faint anger, but they didn't dare to attack.

Because Cao Ren promoted seven or eight people to military ranks in a matter of moments.

This seems to be a good thing, but these military positions are all empty positions without real power.

The military power in their hands was just taken away like this, who can't have any resentment?

"Okay, that's all for now, do you have any opinions?" After Cao Ren finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and asked.

"General, there is something you want to say at the end." A general standing in the middle came out and cupped his hands.

"Go ahead." Cao Ren said.

"The last general doesn't understand, why did General Cao deprive me and others of the military power? Over the years, we have fought with General Cao, and fought to the death many times. There is no credit or hard work, right?" The man questioned Cao Ren a little hard.

Everyone else was sweating for this man.

But it's nothing to worry about.

Because this person is a member of the Hongnong Yang clan, and with the big tree of the Yang family as his back, even Cao Ren can only punish one or two at most, but there will be no danger to his life.

"You have made a lot of contributions in this war. I see that you have worked hard, and I can't bear the pain of the soldiers, so I temporarily put you in an idle position. This is also for your own good. You can return to Xuchang with me and have a good rest. It won't be long before I will report to the Prime Minister and ask for credit for you, and it will not be a problem to add an official and a noble." Cao Ren replied lightly.
