Most of the Wei generals present here are Cao Hong's old subordinates for many years, and they naturally have no doubts about Cao Hong's decision.

As for other Wei generals, such as Yang Fu, even if he wanted to stop Cao Hong, he did not have the chance to say it out loud.

Because after Cao Hong refuted the Wei general, he revealed his plan in full.

After learning about Cao Hong's overall plan, General Wei, who had some doubts in his heart, gradually dissipated.

Cao Hong's plan indeed minimized risks in every aspect.

And it was Cao Hong's plan that directly blocked all Yang Fu's words of advice.

Yang Fu was a guard and had the power to threaten Cao Hong when the opportunity arose, but this power could not be used indiscriminately.

In particular, Cao Hong was a serious clan member of Cao Wei.

In addition, speaking in good conscience, there is nothing wrong with Cao Hong's tactical arrangements.

Yang Fu can now use his power to blackmail Cao Hong, but what if his blackmail really caused Cao Hong to miss the opportunity to capture Yangping Pass?

When the time comes, not to mention Cao Pi who is far away in Luoyang, I am afraid that Cao Zhen, who loves him very much, will eat him alive.

Yang Fu knew the character of the Emperor of the Wei family very well - he was mean and unkind.

Although Yang Fu is now the governor of Liangzhou and the protector of Cao Wei's middle route army, it seems that his power is still slightly higher than that of Cao Hong.

But these are based on the premise that Yang Fu can bring benefits to the Wei Dynasty.

When this premise was lost and Yang Fu's actions aroused public outrage, then based on the character of the Cao family, Yang Fu knew that he would inevitably be used by Cao Pi to scare the monkeys.

Living in the big vat of power and intrigue, Yang Fu had long abandoned the purity he had when he became an official in his early years, and the idea of ​​weighing the pros and cons has been deeply ingrained in his bones.

But now it is this kind of thinking that makes Yang Fu, who has always been upright in the past, become hesitant about whether to use his power to blackmail Cao Hong.

The hesitation on Yang Fu's face made Cao Hong aware of it, who had been watching him silently.

Seeing that Yang Fu was just hesitant and did not object directly, Cao Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of Yang Fu's hesitation, Cao Hong arranged a series of combat missions neatly.

These combat arrangements had been reviewed in Cao Hong's mind countless times before, but now Cao Hong just recited them from his mind, of course at an extremely fast speed.

So before Yang Fu could wait for the outcome of the battle between heaven and man in his mind, Cao Hong had already arranged all the combat missions.

When Cao Hong completed this step, it meant that Yang Fu had no chance of opening his mouth again.

It was for the country's sake to stop him before the arrangement was made. However, after the general made the arrangement, he rashly overturned all his decisions. This made people think that Yang Fu was using public tools for personal use.

In the end, Yang Fu could only sigh deeply in his heart.

Yang Fu was not sighing because of the uncertain future of the Wei army. After all, he did not have much doubt in his heart about Wu Yi's surrender. His hesitation just now was just due to his inner caution.

Yang Fu was sighing, why is the messenger so slow to come and go?

If the messenger can bring back Cao Zhen's news in time, then no matter whether he fights or retreats, all the consequences can be blamed on Cao Zhen in the future. This is the most ideal situation in Yang Fu's heart.

But now that the dust has settled, what's the use of talking about it?

...

Where is the messenger that Yang Fu has been missing so much?

After more than half a month, the messenger had just arrived outside the Wei army's camp, which was gaining momentum.

It was not that the messenger sent by Yang Fu was lazy, it was just that the Central Route Army and the East Route Army were blocked by Yangping Pass, so when the two armies exchanged news, the messenger had to cross a long and steep mountain road.

Coupled with the lack of information, the messenger sent by Yang Fu did not know where Cao Zhen was before setting off.

These inconveniences in objective conditions were the reason why the messenger was so slow to find Cao Zhen's whereabouts.

However, this messenger still did his duty. After arriving at the Wei army's camp, the messenger immediately identified himself and asked the Wei army scouts to take him to see Cao Zhen.

After the Wei army scouts checked the identity of the messenger, they immediately took Yang Fu's messenger towards Cao Zhen's tent.

Needless to say, Cao Zhen has been in a bad mood recently. When he heard that Yang Fu's envoy had arrived, his mood became even worse.

If it was a serious official matter, Cao Zhen should have sent an envoy here, but now it was Yang Fu's envoy who came to see him.

Thinking of Yang Fu's identity as a military guard, Cao Zhen suddenly had a reaction in his mind - Yang Fu wanted to impeach Cao Hong.

In the political environment of Cao Wei, it was common for officials to impeach and criticize each other.

Not to mention the ordinary relationship between officials, even the confidants and friends in the past may one day become a sharp knife to harm you.

For example, Cui Yan, who was famous all over the world, died in this aspect.

Even friends are like this, let alone Cao Hong and Yang Fu who have always been at odds.

Cao Zhen knew that something like this would inevitably happen after Yang Fu was appointed as Cao Hong's army guard, but he did not expect that such a thing would come when he was in the worst mood.

The most annoying thing is that he has to see Yang Fu's messenger. What if there is really something important?

Cao Zhen received Yang Fu's messenger with a cold face.

The moment Messenger Yang Fu saw Cao Zhen, the tight thread in his heart finally relaxed.

After more than half a month of arduous trek, I finally got to see the general.

Yang Fu's messenger did not delay, and he immediately delivered Yang Fu's autographed letter to Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen, somewhat bored, opened Yang Fu's letter and read it.

But before reading it for a while, Cao Zhen was immediately shocked by the contents of the letter.

Wu Yi, the general guard at Yangping Pass, asked to surrender, and Cao Hong was willing to accept it.

When he learned about this incident, it was like a bolt of lightning piercing the dark sky, unraveling the biggest confusion in Cao Zhen's heart in recent days.

Why did Mi Yang suddenly dispatch Wei Yan's five thousand troops to Yangping Pass?

That's why!

Cao Zhen's ability is by no means inferior to that of any famous general in the world. The reason why he was unable to understand this before was not because he was incompetent, but because he lacked key intelligence.

Now that the key information fell into his hands, Cao Zhen figured out many things logically.

If it weren't for Wei Yan's five thousand troops, Cao Zhen might have been doubtful about Wu Yi's request to surrender.

But now Cao Zhen knew that Wu Yi must have pretended to surrender.

even......

Thinking of this suffocating point, Cao Zhen couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands and cough violently.

Autumn is approaching and the weather is getting colder. Cao Zhen has been busy with military affairs in recent days and has contracted some cold.

Now, under the violent ups and downs of his mood, his condition was instantly affected.

Cao Zhen coughed violently, frightening the guards guarding him. Many of the guards ran to Cao Zhen and asked about his condition in anxious tones.

Facing the inquiries from his guards, Cao Zhen couldn't care less about his condition. He was now like a roaring tiger, with red eyes he shouted loudly to his guards:

"Summon Liu Shizhong quickly!"

Under Cao Zhen's urgent urging, one of the guards immediately ran out of Cao Zhen's tent as quickly as possible.

This sudden change frightened Yang Fu's envoy and froze him in place.

He simply came to deliver a letter. How could he expect that Cao Zhen would change so much after seeing the content of this letter.

Just when Yang Fu's messenger was trembling, Cao Zhen looked at him with dangerous eyes.

Cao Zhen's cold and threatening eyes scared Yang Fu's messenger to the ground.

Cao Zhen didn't care whether Yang Fu's messenger was afraid or not. He stretched out his trembling fingers and said to Yang Fu's messenger: "You should turn back to Wujie immediately and tell Yang Fu that no matter what, you must stop General Hussar from sending troops."

"Definitely!"

Cao Zhen's tone was full of sternness.

Cao Zhen's severity frightened Yang Fu's messenger to the point where he kept kowtowing. After kowtowing, he hurriedly ran outside the tent.

Although he has been very tired for more than half a month, Messenger Yang Fu is more afraid of losing his life than being tired.

Not long after Yang Fu's messenger rushed out, Liu Ye hurried to Cao Zhen's tent.

Liu Ye knew that there must be something important when Cao Zhen summoned him so urgently, so he didn't delay at all along the way.

When he saw Liu Ye approaching, Cao Zhen blurted out a sentence that made Liu Ye stop his salute in fright:

"Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass, Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass!"

Cao Zhen's tone was full of regret.

He regretted why he didn't see this through earlier.

After Liu Ye heard Cao Zhen's judgment, he was still in a state of confusion.

Although he had previously speculated that Mi Yang might not be in good health, Hanzhong was so big and there were many fortresses, so why was Cao Zhen so sure that Mi Yang was at Yangping Pass?

Is it just because of Wei Yan's five thousand army?

Seeing Liu Ye's confused face, Cao Zhen stood up, walked to Liu Ye, and handed Yang Fu's letter to him.

Liu Ye immediately took the letter and read it.
