Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 916 Cao Pi angrily beheads Cao Zilian

Cao Pi saw that everyone was like headless chickens, so he turned his attention to Zhu Shuo, who was in charge of the imperial army.

Seeing this, Zhu Shuo felt bad. His Majesty shouldn't be over-hearted, right?As the leader of the Central Committee, my main duty is to protect the safety of Luoyang. As for the detailed operation battalion entrusted by Jia Xu, he has already completed the task of instigating rebellion in the South China. Send someone, Your Majesty, don't look at me like this.

"Your Majesty, how did Inspector Liang get the news? The northern part of Bingzhou is grassland and Gobi, so it is impossible to know so clearly." Zhu Shuo asked in a low voice after leaving the class.

Cao Pi sternly reprimanded: "How else can I get it? Zhang Xi was defeated by Xiaoguan and chased by Huang Zhong to Lingzhou. They walked for a month in the deserted Gobi against the cold wind. How could such a stupid question be asked?"

"Uh, me." Zhu Shuo was stunned by the scolding and was at a loss.

Zhu Shuo was impatient, because he was close to Cao Pi, he didn't get along with the generals in the camp. When everyone saw him being reprimanded by Cao Pi, they smiled inadvertently, but Cao Pi only remembered that Cao Hong was secretly happy.

Liang Xi's memorial was circulated among civil servants, and Situ Wang Lang was eager to express his opinion as soon as he finished reading it: "Although General Zidan retreated to Wuwei, his troops did not lose much. Liu Bei is eager to occupy so many places, and he needs to send officials and troops to go to Wuwei. Garrison, at this time Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and other strong generals are all on the frontier, I think that there are few major generals in Guanzhong, and your Majesty may consider sending troops to Tongguan, maybe you can regain Chang'an in one fell swoop."

"Take back Chang'an? What will I take to take it back?" Cao Pi frowned and asked back.

Wang Lang stared at Cao Xiu without saying a word, thinking that the old minister was only responsible for making suggestions, and as for dispatching troops, it was the generals' business. Aren't there hundreds of thousands of troops around Luoyang?

"Last year when we competed with Guan Yu for Nanxiang, our troops lost a lot, especially the soldiers who were infected in Huainan. Not only did not many Jingzhou soldiers be injured, but the Wei soldiers infected thousands of people for no reason. "Cao Xiu clasped his fists and looked around the crowd, but no one answered his question.

Cao Pi's ears felt hot when he heard this, and he thought that it was the poisonous plan put forward by that dog-headed military officer Sun Quan. No wonder Jiang Dong was lost so quickly, and he even made himself ashamed.

"After His Majesty withdrew the Huainan Army, the soldiers in Luoyang and Nanyang were only about 10 in total. How could there be enough people to take back Guanzhong?" Cao Xiu continued after a pause. ,

"One hundred thousand is not enough?" Wang Lang blurted out without hesitation, but was stunned by Cao Xiu as soon as he finished speaking: "Guan Yunchanghu is in Xiangyang, and it is also in Wan and Luo. If 10 people are transferred to seize Guanzhong, who will guard against it?" Guan Yu?"

"Er, I think it's easy, but can't your majesty recruit more troops from Hebei, Qing, Yan and other places? We have always had the upper hand in the population of Wei." The question covered up the embarrassment just now.

"Conscript from other places? The newly recruited soldiers go to fight against Liu Bei's old soldiers?" Cao Pi said speechlessly, and suddenly he looked at Cao Hong again, and asked in a deep voice: "General Hussars, I asked you to make armor It has been two years since the training, how many heavy infantry do I have in Great Wei?"

"Ah? Heavy infantry?" Cao Hong swallowed his saliva, cupped his fists and replied: "To build heavy armor requires mining and iron making, and the money and food needed are huge, because there is no one to provide it to the general, so..."

"So what?" Cao Pi's eyes froze.

"The last general hasn't started making armor yet." Cao Hong lowered his head after finishing speaking, thinking that His Majesty is in a bad mood today, and this scolding cannot be avoided.

Cao Pi raised his head and laughed, and then said coldly: "Okay, very good, take my words as fart, General Hussars is so brave, can you be convicted?"

"Uh, I will be convicted in the end, but I didn't"

Cao Hong was about to explain, but was roughly interrupted by Cao Pi: "Don't explain, General Hussars. Since I have given the order, someone will naturally cooperate with you. How much money is needed to make the armor, you have to figure it out first? No one can transfer it." Ask Da Sinong? Besides, your family has a lot of money, so why not pay in advance?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the last general has no wealth." Cao Hong answered subconsciously as he was stingy as a habit.

The more Cao Pi listened, the more angry he became. Thinking of the conflicts between the two in the past, he scolded in a deep voice: "Enough, you only have family wealth in your eyes, how can you care about Wei Guo? Why do you take what I say seriously? Take it as a warning, outside the palace Where is the samurai? Throw this bully out and behead him, and all the property in the family will be confiscated."

Beheaded?Even if Cao Hong has everything wrong, he is still the founding father of the Wei State, and he is also one of the four ministers of Cao Cao Tuogu. Why did Cao Pi kill him?Moreover, the cause of the incident was not Cao Hong's fault at all. It was like a wild boar made a mistake and angered a tiger, but the tiger finally killed the wolf beside him, and all the officials in the hall, including Cao Hong, were dumbfounded.

When Xu Chu rushed into the hall with the tiger guards, the officials only reacted at this moment.

Chen Qun took the lead in admonishing him and said: "Your Majesty, please rest your anger. Although General Zilian deceived the emperor, he is a loyal minister after all. It is not appropriate to behead him directly. Please think twice."

"The last general was wronged." Cao Hong was controlled by the tiger guards, and only then did he know that Cao Pi was really here, and he knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, what Chen Lingjun said is reasonable, and now that the enemy is at hand, please spare General Zilian's life and let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds?" Cao Xiu also stood up to intercede.

Next, Xia Houshang, Xu Huang, Dong Zhao and others all stood up to intercede, but Cao Pi's face was still covered with dark clouds, even Xu Chu didn't take people out of the palace immediately, he left time for Cao Pi to think again.

"General Hussars should be punished for deceiving the emperor, but what the ministers said is also very reasonable. How about putting General Zilian in prison temporarily and making a decision after Dali's trial and conviction?" Liu Ye stood up at the critical moment to make peace.

Cao Pi glanced at Liu Ye first, then glanced at Chen Qun next to him, and said in his heart that this is the guy you asked me to ask for advice.

"Zi Yang is right. To deal with such an important minister, he must be interrogated by Dali. Zhongkang, take him out of the palace first, and I will discuss military and state affairs with all the ministers." Cao Pi waved his hand lightly, and was forced to accept Liu Ye's words. suggestion.

"Wei." Xu Chu clasped his fists in response, and then escorted Cao Hong out of the hall.

Cao Hong felt like he was sitting on a cloud at this moment, and he never expected this ending. What does the matter of Yong Liang have to do with me?
On the way out of the palace and sent to the prison, Cao Hong put down his body and begged Xu Chu: "General Xu and I served the late emperor together. Although we have not met much for many years in the east and west, can you please tell my family a word for the sake of the late emperor?" ?”

"Don't worry, general. Your family will definitely tell you about such a big event." Xu Chu shook his head lightly.

"Better sooner than later, please." Cao Hong had tears in his eyes. .

Xu Chu finally agreed, and he asked calmly, "What do you want to bring?"

"Go ask the Queen Mother."
