The news that the East and West capitals were revived at the same time was announced to the people of Lujiang City at the first time. Suddenly, the whole city was in full swing, and the people in the city, regardless of men, women, age and age, were ecstatic, and they all ran around to tell each other.

Firecrackers are like thunder and shaking the sky, and gongs and drums are like celebrating the ocean.

In just half an hour, tens of thousands of people in the city knew about this amazing good news.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the main road in the city, and the neat team stretched for more than a few miles. Everyone knelt in front of the north and shouted "Long live the emperor" and "Long live the Han Dynasty". They cheered for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition and the general. The neat voices were like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, which echoed over the Lujiang City for a long time.

The spontaneous gatherings of people of this scale were not allowed by the city guards. But at this moment, no one would do that disgraceful thing.

In fact, the city guards were equally excited, proud and proud, and even had a hint of "jealousy" towards their comrades fighting on the front line of the Northern Expedition - how glorious it would be to be cheered by so many people!

This Northern Expedition will be forever preserved in history in the future!

.

In the palace, the excitement of the important officials of the court was not much better than the people outside. Several old ministers even fainted in tears of joy.

Since the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the eastern and western capitals of the Han Dynasty have experienced many catastrophes, many times destroyed by war, and controlled by many traitors and treacherous people...

If the capital is difficult to complete, how can the country be safe?

Now, Luoyang and Chang'an have finally returned to the control of the Han court in the true sense!

"Okay, that's OK! My old body can still see both of them recovered in my lifetime, so I can close my eyes. I can close my eyes..." An old minister who woke up from the fainting sighed in tears.

After looking at each other, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Su, they nodded in a sensible way. Although they did not participate in the Northern Expedition in person, did not kill the enemy, and did not attack the city and seize the pass, they also made great contributions to the smooth progress of the Northern Expedition in their own way, which could not be erased by anyone.

It can be said that if the Northern Expedition can achieve ultimate success, if the country can complete unification, if the Han Dynasty can achieve another revival, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu and others will be the revival officials who are famous in history.

If you can really reach this point, you will have completely no regrets after all your life learning and full of ambitions!

…………

Hundreds of fast horses rushed out of the city gate in a steady stream, running in all directions...

.

Qiao County (Chen State). Feiting

The tent was filled with joy, Guan Ping, Quan Cong, Chen Wu and others raised their arms and shouted, and they were extremely excited.

Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and looked at the excited generals with a calm smile on his face, but then he noticed Guan Yu's grinning. A hint of regret was hidden.

Luoyang, the Changsha Security Department was restored, Guanzhong, and Guanxi were all in control... The battle situation of the West Road has made such a major breakthrough, and in comparison, the progress of the East Road is a bit inferior.

East is empty and west is real. First west and then east. Although the grand strategy was determined before the Northern Expedition. But the elder brother, third brother, and even other generals, had achieved such brilliant achievements. Guan Yu, who had never been willing to fall behind, would inevitably feel a little regretful.

He knew Guan Yu's thoughts very well and knew how to persuade his commander. Zhuge Liang walked up to Guan Yu and said with a faint smile: "Yong, the overall situation has been decided. The focus of the next battle is on my Eastern Front.

Guanxi and Guanzhong are all lost, Cao Fang will inevitably be in chaos and behave in a state of disarray. The time for the decisive victory of the Eastern Front has come.

When the army on the western front advances eastward, the king and the prince and the general meet at the city of Xuchang..."

A trace of splendor flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he nodded slightly

…………………………………………………..

If Cao Hong's death gave Cao Cao a heavy blow, then Luoyang, Chang'an, and even Guanzhong, Guanxi all fell. He cut several times in his heart.

But all of this is not as bad news as Xiahou Yuan’s life and death.

Compared with Cao Hong. Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao's relationship is closer, and his status in the military is also more important.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren have always been the giant pillars of Cao Cao's army, and they each supervised one side. In terms of their ability to command military operations, Xiahou Yuan even surpassed the other two.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao was relieved to hand over the entire Western Front defense to Xiahou Yuan.

But now, such an incredible result has occurred.

.

Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and others tried every means to comfort Cao Cao, hoping that this was just a rumor designed by Liu Bei to shake the morale of the Cao army, and it was not worthy of acceptance.

But who is Cao Cao?! Although he is getting older, his health is worse than before, and his mental state is not very good, just from Tian Yu's confirmation that Luoyang falls, Cao Cao inferred that the so-called "rumor" is most of the true. If Xiahou Yuan is still alive, even if Cao Hong is killed, Henan Yin Xuxuan would never dare to surrender easily.

If you were not forced into a dead end, this would not happen...

However, beyond the expectations of Jia Xu and others, although Cao Cao confirmed the news, this time he did not faint as sadly as he learned that Cao Hong was killed.

After leaving everyone, Cao Cao sat alone in the tent for three hours. Just as Jia Xu, Cao Xiu and others were worried, Cao Cao lifted the curtain and came out of the tent, with a calm expression on his face as if he had completely escaped from his grief.

His slightly yellow face became rosy a few days ago, and he seemed to be four or five years younger.

What's even more rare is that Cao Cao's original natural domineering aura has returned to his body.

How could this be like Cao Cao who was tortured by the stubborn disease, troubled by the difficult battle situation, and becoming increasingly haggard?

One blow after another, the increasingly passive war did not defeat this hero, but instead allowed him to rise again from adversity and regain his mighty spirit!

Seeing this amazing change, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others were stunned at first, but then excited. They believed that as long as there was a healthy Cao Cao, no matter how bad the land was, they could be reversed.

Compared to Cao Xiu and the others, Jia Xu was relatively calm and even showed a hint of worry. But he really didn't want to express his thoughts...

.

With Cao Cao's health recovering, his heroic spirit was revived, and the atmosphere in the mainland of the Zhengguan was completely renewed. All the generals were energetic and full of fighting spirit.

"The battle situation in Guanzhong, Guanxi..." When talking about these two places, Cao Cao paused unnaturally, but then he returned to normal. His words were sonorous and powerful, "It is no longer possible to continue to entangle, and it is meaningless.

Even if you can defeat Lu Xun, you will be unable to break through the pass and enter for a while.

Ma Dai of Xiliang must have gone south and Chang'an was lost. He was the culprit. Judging from the current information, it will take less than a few days. Ma Dai may intervene in the Central Plains battlefield. If our army is delayed at Hulao Pass, if Ma Dai arrives, the prospects of the army are worrying.

Since this is the case, we simply abandon the battle situation on the Western Front. We will do our best to deal with the enemy on the Eastern Front..."

With the attention of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Cao Cao walked to the wooden frame hanging on the map, pointed to the above locations and said: "If it is not as expected, Guan Yunchang's next attack will definitely point here..."

"Jiyin???" Cao Xiu said in surprise. Not only Cao Xiu, most of the generals in the tent were surprised, and some even secretly doubted whether Cao Cao had lost his normal thinking.

According to news from Xuchang, several enemy troops including Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong were at Xiahou Dun and Zang Ba. The troops were aiming directly at Xuchang. Wei Yan, who fought fiercely with Cao Ren, was obviously supporting Guan Yu's attack.

How could Guan Yu suddenly abandon Xuchang and turn to attack Jiyin?

Only Jia Xu, in his faint surprise, was more thoughtful.

"From the beginning, Liu Bei's target was not Xuchang!" Cao Cao knew what the generals were thinking, but he didn't care and said calmly and affirmatively. "Attacking Xuchang is just a guise, a guise that blocks Cao's vision.

Liu Bei’s strategy is division. After division, he gathers heavy troops to defeat it.

The plan to divide other places is to seize Yangcheng and Xingyang on the west road, and then divide Guanzhong and Guanxi from our Zhongyuan prefectures and counties; the direction of the east road is to seize Jiyin and then divide Xuchang and Yan and Qing counties.

First break the two wings, then join forces to attack Xuchang..."

As Cao Cao deepened his analysis, the expressions of the generals gradually changed from suspicion to shock...

"In a short period of time, Liu Bei was unable to return east. At most, the Ma Dai cavalry would go out of the pass first and attack the Central Plains. If it was just a cavalry, it could also block it according to the terrain.

"Cao Cao's words were full of confidence, which made people deeply believe unconsciously, "Since you have seen through the long-term operation of Guan Yun and take advantage of the time before Liu Bei returned to the east, you may fight with all your might and defeat the enemy troops on the eastern front.

Then, at the city of Xuchang, fight to the death with the big-eared thief!”

"No~!"

.

After the decision, Cao Cao immediately gave up his attack on Xingyang and Yangcheng and led his army back to Xuchang. Before that, more than a dozen fast horses had already galloped everywhere.

Before evacuating, Cao Cao went down to Xingyang City and saw Lu Xun.

Lu Xun seemed to know that Cao Cao was preparing to retreat, and made a special trip to wait to see him.

Looking at the white-clothed figure on the city tower, Cao Cao sighed in his heart——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Before his thirty years have arrived, he is already the right general in Liu Bei's army. This time he has made himself even more slammed into the iron wall. Whether it is wisdom, military use, or military command, Lu Xun is comparable to himself in his prime.

I don’t know how Liu Bei found such a young talent??!!!

.

On the city tower, Lu Xun looked at Cao Cao's disappearing figure and waved his hand to stop his subordinates from requesting pursuit.

Although the tiger is old, it still has its might and there is no need to take unnecessary risks.

Moreover, with the end of the Western Front, Cao Cao no longer had the possibility of turning the situation around, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.

The era of Cao Cao is just like the setting sun in the west, it is almost...
