What is Tongguan like?

Even if there is no news in Tongguan, what about the area around Bingzhou, Taihang area, and Hedong?

There is no follow-up news.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no news about Cao Tai...

Cao Ren has had a thought in his mind these days and is uncontrollable.

Cao Kai stood beside him, "My father, my brother will definitely return in triumph..."

Cao Ren was in a daze, and after Cao Kai finished speaking, he realized, "Kai'er, what did you say just now?"

『Sir, I mean, my brother can definitely win over triumphantly…』 Cao Kai repeated, 『There is no news at the moment, which means everything is going well…』

『Hmm…』 Cao Ren suppressed his anxious heart, 『There should be no problem for lord Yu Heluo and Yuan let his brother Yu Bingzhou…』

Cao Kai was silent for a while and said, "My father, the scout who went to Shangyong has never come back in the past two days."

Cao Ren frowned, "Did this thief general Li Mancheng, have you discovered something? He blocked Hanzhong Shangyong?"

Cao Kai said: "My father, should you send more scouts to investigate?"

Cao Ren thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need for now. If you are alerting the snake, it will be bad. Keep the original number and make the scout more careful..."

Cao Kai answered.

The two of them stood on the Xiangyang city wall again, looking north.

After a moment of silence, Cao Kai spoke again, "My father, this cavalry is said to... modify the Han system, promote scientific research, and those relevant government orders... What does he want to do? Support the country, or have ulterior motives? Is he crazy, or really thinking like this?"

Cao Ren was silent for a longer time before whispering: "Before you have no strength, everything is a fantasy."

Cao Ren commented, and then his eyes changed slightly, "But... the development of Guanzhong is indeed... But even so, it is still far from competing for the world... It is far from being a big deal. This world is not the world of Guanzhong, and of course it is not a Shandong person... Will Shandong people agree to the world that only benefits Guanzhong?

"So this time, the cavalry will be defeated..." Cao Kai's tone seemed to be saying, and it seemed to be asking.

"He is too conceited..." Cao Ren said, "I thought that if there is Tongguan in Guanzhong, it would be as solid as a god...but... why didn't the messenger come? Logically speaking, it's time to come...

The two of them were talking.

By counting the time, the war in the Taiyuan area of ​​Shangdang should end. If it is his own side that wins, then Hedong is not worth worrying. Then Guanzhong is naturally within the attack range of the soldiers under Cao Cao.

If Shangdang failed in Taiyuan, then...

Finally, several cavalrymen from afar rolled up smoke and came in a hurry.

『…』

Cao Ren held the letter in his hand and frowned.

"My father?" Cao Kai asked.

Cao Ren sighed and said briefly, "The prince suggested that we attack Wuguan."

It is not Cao Tai's message, but Cao Pi's letter.

If it was Cao Cao's order, Cao Ren would of course do it, but now it is Cao Pi's "suggestion". Of course, Cao Ren can listen to this suggestion or not, but it is very subtle between listening and not listening.

In history, when Cao Pi ascended the throne, the territory of the Three Kingdoms was basically stable. The so-called thirteen states in the world, Cao Wei occupied the nine states, and Cao Pi inherited such a large-scale foreign war. However, during Cao Pi's dynasty, large-scale foreign wars were basically over. There were only a few battles with ethnic minorities in the west and north, and three battles against Wu. Two of them could be said to have other intentions, and they were not so pure that they wanted to unify. There was no conquest of Sichuan and Shu, or the personal conquest of Hanzhong like his father Cao Cao...

Perhaps Cao Pi felt that after Yiling's defeat, Shu Han was not worth mentioning.

But no matter what, after the heroes of the previous generation passed away, the situation of aiming at the world and unifying China as their lifelong pursuit has quietly changed. The three kingdoms have turned their main goal to protecting vested interests.

Only Zhuge Liang was left, looking at the north alone, and insisting on the Northern Expedition until his death.

Cao Cao likes his wife, so Cao Cao has many children. Except for Cao Zhen and other people who have changed their surnames to Cao Cao, Cao Pi is not as good as Cao Zhi in literature, and Cao Zhang is not as good as Wu…

After Cao Cao died in history, Cao Zhang rushed back and did not ask Cao Cao what he was, but asked where the seal was, which more or less reflected some subtle meaning. At the same time, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, the Qingzhou army suddenly scattered, which shows that even at the critical moment when Cao Wei inherited power, there were still very dangerous political struggles.

So did Cao Pi start to plot against political power after Cao Cao’s death?

Obviously not.

Just like the letter Cao Pi gave to Cao Ren now, it is actually a kind of temptation.

Cao Cao is still there, and of course Cao Pi cannot really transfer Cao Ren's military power, it can only be a "suggestion".

"My father..." Cao Kai is not stupid, he also understands the meaning of this.

In fact, no matter whether Cao Pi "suggestions" or not, after obtaining Wancheng, Cao Ren will launch an attack on Wuguan as planned to relieve the pressure on Cao Cao in Tongguan and also look for some additional opportunities.

But in this way, will it send out an error signal?

Cao Ren sighed deeply, "Too urgent... The prince is too anxious..."

"How should that be?" Cao Kai asked.

Cao Ren was silent for a moment, "No."

We can't reply to Cao Pi to refute or preach anything. After all, when Cao Cao went to war, he did say that Cao Pi had to handle some affairs on his behalf, so Cao Pi's "suggestions" were not a problem on the surface, but if Cao Ren reacted too much, it would become a problem.

Cao Kai asked: "Do you want to... report to your lord..."

Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "I'll stop talking after this battle!"

Some things only make sense after defeating Feiqian, but if you cannot win...

"Transfer to Zidan..." Cao Ren looked up at the sky, looked at the twinkling stars, and whispered, "Let Zidan do everything he can to collect the military needs in Wancheng... in preparation for march into Wuguan!"
