Cao Cao's words were loud and clear, and he had no intention of compromising with the Xianbei bandits.
In the meeting hall, the excited generals no longer hesitated. They all stepped forward and said,
"In this battle, we are willing to follow you.”
Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.
……
After leaving Sikong Manor, Zhuge Mu did not immediately rush to the military camp in the south of the city. Instead, he stood guard at the gate and stopped Guo Jia, who was about to leave.
"Shu Zhi, the war in the north is extremely urgent. Why aren't you going out of the city to mobilize your troops to the north?”
"If the lord sees this, he will reprimand you.”
Looking at Zhuge Mu who was waiting for him, Guo Jia's face flashed with confusion.
However, when he said this, Guo Jia carefully turned his head to look behind him and pulled Zhuge Mu to the side.
Noticing the concern on Guo Jia's face, Zhuge Mu suddenly smiled.
Perhaps before he left Jingzhou, Zhuge Mu had no intention of changing history and saving Guo Jia's life out of consideration for his own interests.
However!
People are not plants, who can be heartless.
In the half a month since he entered Xu Du, Guo Jia had treated him with sincerity, and Zhuge Mu had unknowingly treated him as a friend.
When Zhuge Mu saw the concern in Guo Jia's eyes, he knew the ending of Guo Jia in history. He secretly made an irrational decision.
" Maybe I will regret it one day, but now…"
"I just want to live up to my reputation."
A faint self-mockery flashed in his heart.
The next moment, Zhuge Mu placed his hands on Guo Jia's shoulders and said to Guo Jia with a solemn expression,""Filial piety!"
"Do you trust me?"
This was the first time Zhuge Mu called out Guo Jia's name, and not the previous 'Chancellor Guo' title.
Opposite him, Zhuge Mu's unusual behavior stunned Guo Jia.
However, when he saw Zhuge Mu's serious expression, he put away the smile on his face and replied to Zhuge Mu seriously," Jia, believe!!!!"
"That's good!" Zhuge Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fengxiao, if you believe me, when the lord goes out this time, you must stay in Xudu and not go out with the army.”
"Don't ask why!"
"Because I don't want to watch you die in a foreign land!”
Zhuge Mu's eyes stared at Guo Jia as he spoke in an unquestionable tone.
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia rolled his eyes when he heard Zhuge Mu's words.
He said to Zhuge Mu in a bad mood,"Zhuge Shuzhi, I treat you as a good friend, yet you dare to curse me like this.”
"You're simply not a son!"
Guo Jia scolded Zhuge Mu with a smile. He was afraid that Zhuge Mu would say something "shocking" again and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Zhuge Mu sighed in his heart.
He had done everything he could, so he could only leave the rest to fate.
Zhuge Mu mounted his horse and headed straight for the military camp in the south of the city.
But what he did not know was…
Not long after he left, Guo Jia, who had left earlier, returned. He looked at his back with a face full of relief.
"Shuzhi, I appreciate your kindness!”
"But…"
"Do you know that there is not much time left for Jia?”
As he muttered softly, Guo Jia suddenly let out a violent cough.
Accompanied by a violent cough, the ground in front of Guo Jia had a few dazzling red spots.
……
In the southern military camp.
When Zhuge Mu arrived, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, and Wei Yan had already gathered their troops.
His gaze shifted to the Western Liang soldiers. Wherever his gaze landed, the 5,000 Western Liang soldiers were filled with murderous intent.
The baleful aura that condensed swept in all directions.
Under everyone's gaze, a cold light flashed from Zhuge Mu's waist.
Heavenly Sword was unsheathed and pointed towards the north.
"Everyone, follow me!"
As soon as Zhuge Mu finished speaking, the 5,000 Western Liang soldiers mounted their horses in unison and headed straight for the camp gate.
On the side, Zhang Liao, who was leading 10,000 Bing Province Cavalry, saw this scene and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Shu Zhi, I thought you would do an exciting mobilization before the expedition!" he joked to Zhuge Mu.”
"There's more!"
"I got someone to bring the Red Hare Horse from Miss for you. It's impossible to kill enemies on the battlefield without a good horse!”
As he spoke, Zhang Liao's subordinate pulled out a red colt.
It was Red Rabbit, who had been stolen by Lu Lingqi some time ago.
Stroking the Red Hare Horse, Zhuge Mu jumped up and replied to Zhang Liao,""A general who can't lead his soldiers to victory, it's useless no matter how much he says.”
"Besides…"
"We are only the vanguard. What we want is speed.”
"Pledging assembly, pre-war mobilization, and such are things that the lord should do.”
……
Dingxiang was a city north of the Great Wall.
When the Great Han Dynasty was strong, it was always the outpost of the Han army and the most important line of defense north of the Great Wall.
However, ever since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains forces had no time to look north. When Yuan Shao's army was defeated at Guandu, Dingxiang City was seized by the Xianbei.
Inside the Xianbei tent in Dingxiang City.
The son of Tan Shihuai.
The Xianbei leader, Bu Dugen, sat on a golden chair, drinking horse milk. He held two Han women in his arms, and he laughed wildly.
He pointed at two men who looked similar and were dressed in the Han family's clothes."You two brothers are right.”
"Right now, the Han people in the Central Plains are busy with internal strife, so they can't mobilize any troops to fight against me!”
"How can a mere 50,000 soldiers defeat my 200,000 warriors?”
As he laughed, Bu Dugen looked at one of his Xianbei generals.
"Wutu Lu, I'll send you another 50,000 soldiers. Can you take down Ping City in ten days?”
"Hehe!"
Bu Dugen pinched the Han woman in his arms." If you behead that Han General Zhang He, I'll charge into Ye City and let your tribe plunder as they please."”
Hearing Bu Dugen's words, the Xianbei general named Wutulu was ecstatic.
"Leader, don't worry!"
"You don't have to wait for ten days. In three days, I will break through Ping City for you and use Zhang He's head to make a wine vessel for you.”
