Immediately, I only heard Xu Huang speak again: "And according to the report from the spies, the person who came this time is Zhao Can, the prince of Zhao State, and the accompanying general is Zhao Yun, the five tiger generals of the Zhao army, and Gao Shun, the commander of the trapping camp, leading more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to come straight to my Jiangzhou."
At this moment, the entire army is encamped in the area of the Western Han River, about 50 miles away from Jiangzhou, and it seems that it wants to make adequate preparations and want to attack Jiangzhou in one fell swoop. ”After finishing speaking, Xu Huang once again showed a trace of nervousness and said: "Your Majesty, the incident is important at this moment, and the time is tight, our army should immediately order to recruit all the officers and soldiers of the Wei army and gather in Jiangzhou to resist the invasion of the Zhao army." ”After Xu Huang finished speaking, Cao Pi couldn't help sighing, looked at Xu Huang and said earnestly: "General Xu Huang, it has been decades since he was put into our army, and he can be said to be the general of my Wei State, and he has always been loyal to my Wei State.This time, Cao Pi had an important matter and wanted to discuss it with General Xu Huang, but he just hoped that General Xu Huang would be able to think seriously after learning about it. ”After finishing speaking, Cao Pi couldn't help but take out the letterhead in his arms, handed it to Xu Huang and said, "General Xu Huang will take a look for himself first, this is a handwritten letter from Zhao Can, the prince of Zhao State, to me." ”Hearing Cao Pi's words, Xu Huang was stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "What is the handwritten letter from the prince of Zhao to His Majesty" After finishing speaking, Xu Huang hurriedly took the letterhead handed by Cao Pi and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.The letterhead was not a few words, and Xu Huang quickly understood it at a glance, and he clearly understood the meaning of the letter.As Cao Pi thought, although Xu Huang is a general in the army, his personality is relatively calm and calm, and he is a resourceful general.If other generals saw this letter, they would have torn it up and scolded it.But after Xu Huang read the letter, he first put away the letterhead, handed it back to Cao Pi, and said with a solemn face: "Could it be that Your Majesty is a little shaken by this matter?"
only to hear Cao Pi lament: "Alas, don't hide it from General Xu Huang, originally my Wei State was so powerful and beautiful, with thousands of generals and good ministers, and millions of soldiers under his command."
But looking at it now, my Wei country has actually fallen to the point where the capital is occupied by others, many good ministers and fierce generals have either been beheaded or captured by the enemy, and the once million-strong army has also become the enemy's soldiers and horses. ”After finishing speaking, Cao Pi couldn't help but pause, and spoke again: "The once powerful Wei State was not the opponent of the Zhao army, and now my Wei State has fallen here, from a country to a small city, in the face of the powerful Zhao army, how to resist it, I am afraid that if I continue to fight like this, it will only send the entire Wei State to the road of destruction completely, so this time after receiving the letter from the Son of Heaven of the Zhao State, I actually had a trace of heartbeat."
As long as everyone can survive, whether it is Wei or Zhao, what can they do. ”"When they have all entered the death of the country, even if I want these empty and ethereal powers, what's the use" Cao Pi couldn't help but stand up, looked at Xu Huang with a helpless look, and said with a heartache: "General Xu Huang, I don't want the few remaining people and troops of my Wei State to be sacrificed on the battlefield, I want to leave a little blood for our Wei State in line with my weak power, is it wrong for you to say that I have this kind of thinking." ”"Your Majesty" Xu Huang can be said to be very surprised by Cao Pi's state this time, and he never thought that Cao Pi would have such thoughts.However, as Cao Pi said, this time the army of Zhao State attacked, not to mention the strength of Wei, even if it was adding the strength of Shu, it would be difficult to resist.Rather than holding on to the death and increasing unnecessary casualties, it is better to give up the battle as soon as possible, and it is not impossible to surrender to Zhao State.It's just that Xu Huang, as a general of the country, is already a soldier, and he must obey military orders as his duty.Sometimes for these generals, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the world, as a general, they only need to lead the troops to fight and establish meritorious deeds.It's like when Xu Huang followed Yang Feng, and later because of his meritorious service in protecting the Son of Heaven, he was promoted.It is also because of this that he won Cao Cao's love, how could Yang Feng be changeable, give up and return to Cao Cao, but planned to rob the Son of Heaven, was killed by Cao Cao, and Xu Huang returned to Cao Cao from then on.At that time, Xu Huang could be said to have the same dream as Cao Cao, that is, to support the Han family and benefit the people of the world.With the change of events, the princes from all walks of life gradually competed for fame and fortune, and Xu Huang also became a chess piece in the whole world.After Cao Cao's death, Xu Huang grieved and reminisced, but did not say much, but devoted himself to assisting his son Cao Pi, as if he wanted to repay Cao Cao's kindness, after all, without him Cao Cao, there would be no Xu Huang's achievements today.So this time, after hearing Cao Pi's words, Xu Huang did not have any big reaction, but somewhat followed Cao Pi's opinion, of course, there was a trace of pity in his heart.Thinking about the powerful Wei State back then, the life that needs to be sent to the fence is also chilling to think about.Xu Huang immediately bowed to Cao Pi and said: "Your Majesty can think so much about the people and soldiers of my Wei State, it is really the blessing of my Wei State, no matter what Your Majesty plans, Xu Huang will never complain and support Your Majesty wholeheartedly." ”I only heard Cao Pi lament again: "Alas, it would be great if all the people in our army could have such a mentality as General Xu Huang."
I'm afraid that apart from General Xu Huang, if I tell anyone else that I want to give up resistance and surrender to the Zhao army, I will definitely be severely blocked.Therefore, I only mentioned it to General Xu Huang this time, and the rest of the people did not talk about it, for fear that someone would have bad intentions. ”Seeing Cao Pi's helpless appearance and his trust in himself, Xu Huang couldn't help but hurriedly persuade: "Your Majesty is too worried, and the people who can accompany Your Majesty to this day are all loyal and righteous people of my Wei State, Your Majesty does not need to worry." ”Cao Pi immediately shook his head and said: "General Xu Huang doesn't know anything, when my father was alive before, he told me many times to be careful of Sima Yi, saying that although Sima Yi has intelligence, he is insidious in his work, and he is even more wolf-like.At first, Cao Pi didn't care about this matter at all, and Sima Yi has always been very low-key, but after my father's death, it was not until now that I gradually discovered the meaning of my father's words. ”"Seeing that the current Sima Yi has unconsciously stretched out his power from the regime to the military circle, if it weren't for the command mistake of Ma Tan, the minister of the Shu State, this time, as long as our Shu Wei coalition army defeats the Zhao army, Sima Yi will definitely use this to let me reward that bull gold.At that time, with such merits, the status of Niu Jin and others in the army will definitely be close to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao and other generals.When the time comes, Sima Yi wants people and soldiers, and I am just a puppet.Regardless of the fact that in front of outsiders, Sima Yi disguised himself very well, and people couldn't notice that something was wrong at all, but I knew it. ”As soon as he heard Cao Pi's words, Xu Huang couldn't help but be shocked, not only blurted out: "Your Majesty means that Lord Sima wants to be unfavorable to my Wei State" Cao Pi glanced at Xu Huang, and then said slowly: "No, Sima Yi is not a fool, if he rebels in Wei at this moment, he will only drag himself into the water."
I am afraid that I am afraid, Sima Yi has always advised me to take shelter in Shu, recuperate, wait for the opportunity, and once the Shu army and the Zhao army are defeated, they will seize control of the Shu Kingdom in Yizhou in one fell swoop.At that time, I'm afraid that Sima Yi will take the opportunity to jump out and directly hold the power of Shu and Wei at the same time, and trample all of us under our feet. ”But he didn't know that Cao Pi's words shocked Xu Huang when he heard it, and he didn't expect Sima Yi to have such a strong ambition at all.Not only did he want to take the opportunity to devour the Wei State, but even the Shu State wanted to swallow it together, and he couldn't help but understand the reason why His Majesty talked to him this time.On weekdays, His Majesty behaves very subsequently in front of Sima Yi, and he respects him very much, but in fact, His Majesty's heart has always been in a state of forbearance.Now, over time, His Majesty has noticed Sima Yi's vicious intentions, but most of the power in Wei has fallen into Sima Yi's control, except for a cadre of veteran ministers and veterans of himself, the rest of the people have become Sima Yi's henchmen.In other words, if it weren't for the sudden attack of the Zhao army this time, Sima Yi could have found an opportunity at any time to use the hand of Shu to push His Majesty down, so as to set up a new emperor and take power alone.Xu Huang immediately bowed to Sima Yi and said, "No matter what Your Majesty thinks, Xu Huang will definitely fully support Your Majesty, and there will never be any doubts." ”Seeing Xu Huang like this, Cao Pi hurriedly said to him: "Well, General Xu Huang can be like this, I am deeply grateful, but this matter is very important, not only affecting my Wei State, but even affecting the people of Shu State.This matter must not be leaked out, otherwise once the people of Shu Kingdom know about it, they will definitely take action against us before we surrender to Zhao State.In addition, it is necessary to guard against it, Sima Yi and the others, you must know that almost all of the people in the Wei State today are his Sima Yi's people, and the general must also be careful. ”Subsequently, Cao Pi explained to Xu Huang again: "If the Zhao army is attacking this time, the general only needs to garrison the troops, and there is no need to confront the Zhao army head-on for the time being.When the time comes, we will see the opportunity to act, and for now, no matter what, we should still focus on preserving the bloodline of the Wei State.As for the military power under the general's command, it cannot be handed over to anyone else under any circumstances, and a certain amount of strength must be preserved, and everything I will have to rely on the general in the future. ”After receiving Cao Pi's instructions, Xu Huang couldn't help but rush up and said: "Your Majesty's words, Xu Huang will definitely keep it in mind, if there is nothing else, Xu Huang will retreat first." ”"Well, it's been a while since the general came here this time, and it's hard to guarantee that there won't be the eyeliner of Sima Yi and the others by my side, so the general will go back for the time being.It is important to remember what I just said, if you encounter the Zhao army, you must not start a battle. ”:
