Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 492 Cao Cao just wants to leave this horrible place!

Lü Meng, who was seriously ill, was sent back to Jianye City along the waterway by boat.

Days of running around on the ship had made his body even weaker due to smoking a lot of poisonous cigarettes. At this moment, in the medical office of Jianye City, countless doctors and personal guards were shuttled around chaotically carrying basins and hand towels.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhang Wen and others looked anxiously at the chaotic medical department. Chai Sang... news of the defeat has come. More than 5000 naval troops, led by Dong Xi, Song Qian, and Quan Cong, all the major clans are sparing no effort. He dedicated his own part, but in the end, it failed to delay the fall of Chaisang City even for one day.

This news was so shocking, and Lu Meng's current condition and dying appearance cast a thick layer of haze over Soochow today.

"Ugh…"

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Zhang Wen opened their mouths several times, but all their words finally turned into a heavy sigh of "Alas".

At this time, Sun Quan came all the way, covered in dust. He looked around at everyone and asked anxiously: "How is Ziming? Where is Ziming?"

at this time…

"what…"

A shrill voice resounded from the inner room of the medical office, but Lu Meng seemed to be in a daze. He stood on the bed crazily, shouting loudly: "I am Guan Yunchang, the Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty. Thief Lu, Thief Sun, all of you." Take your life!"

This…

Lu Meng's voice was frightening, but Sun Quan walked towards him. The guards on the side quickly stopped him, "My lord, the right governor looks like this, you can't..."

But Sun Quan threw away the guard's hand: "Gu and Ziming are close friends of life and death. Ziming is Gu's chief governor. Now he is possessed by the evil thief Guan Yu. If Gu wants to call him back, Guan Yu can't even think about it. Taking away Ziming from the front of Gu——"

While he was talking, Sun Quan also jumped onto the bed with a quick step. He pressed Lu Meng's shoulders with both hands and said, "Ziming, Ziming, wake up... wake up -"

It seemed that Sun Quan's call had some effect. Lu Meng, who was still shouting "Thief Lu, Thief Sun, take your life", suddenly calmed down. Then, his whole body seemed to be pulled away, and his legs He stumbled and fell like a puddle of soft mud.

"Zi Ming..."

Sun Quan hugged Lu Meng with extremely complicated eyes.

Lu Meng fainted completely.

"Medical officer, medical officer..." Sun Quan shouted, and for a while, countless medical officers rushed up, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Sun Quan stayed here for a while longer. Seeing that Lu Meng still didn't wake up, he asked the medical officer to cure him. He walked out of the room with his hands behind his back and a heavy look on his face.

——'Now, Ziming looks like this... Lujiang... Then Guan Yu is about to attack Lujiang... Gu... Who can I rely on? 』

Looking back three times and looking at Lu Meng again and again, Sun Quan's mood couldn't be better.

At this moment, he thought of his cousin and father-in-law Xu Kun;
Thinking of my uncle Wu Jing;
Reminds me of Taishi Ci, the "God of War of Jiangdong";

I think of Zhou Gongjin who "destroyed 80 Cao Cao's troops while talking and laughing";
I think of Lu Xun, who was "a handsome gentleman, as gentle as jade";
Reminds me of Ling Tong’s “state style”;

It reminds me of Jinfan Ranger Gan Ning even more!

He originally owned all of these, but because of the current situation and his decision, they eventually parted ways with him!

Ah…

Sun Quan sneered, yes...if one of these people is here, why should he be afraid of Guan Yu?

Even if there was one of these people, they would not have allowed the defeat to happen so quickly, leaving Chaisang City unable to hold on for even a few days.

On the contrary, the big Soochow clans he relied on, at this time... apart from sighing, what can they do?

——"Gu...what have you done in these years?" 』

——"Gu...Is Gu wrong? Brother...is it...is it that from the beginning, you...the road you chose to overcome all obstacles is the right one!"Yes? 』

This was the first time in so many years that Sun Quan had asked himself, and for the first time he had deep doubts about himself, his checks and balances, and his decisions over the years!
However... this is of no use. Doubt can't evade Guan Yu, and doubt can't save Jiang Dong.

"How's it going over there at Chaisang?"

Walking out of the medical office, Sun Quan walked in front, followed by Zhang Zhao and others. Following Sun Quan's inquiry, Zhang Zhao sighed "Alas" and then replied: "Generals Dong Xi and Song Qian died four days ago. , Chaisang fell three days ago. After the reinforcements were defeated, the fortified Chaisang City only held on for a day and a half before being captured by Guan Yu... Quan Cong led the remaining defeated troops... less than five thousand troops, and retreated into the Lujiang River... OK exist…"

Having said this, Zhang Zhao paused, "Five days is enough for Xu Sheng's defeated army, and the defeated army in Changsha, enough... Generals Zhu Zhi, He Qi, and Jiang Qin retreated to the Lujiang River, and Soochow's warships and Huainan All our soldiers and brave men have also arrived at Lujiang. According to the Lord’s instructions, the entire Lujiang River is on guard and waiting... The invading enemy will surely attack on the Yangtze River."

--Yangtze!Warship!Water fight!
This is the last bargaining chip that Sun Quan can bring out, but he also knows that Guan Yu is not Cao Cao. Guan Yu... and his Guan family army have never been afraid of water battles!

However, Lujiang, this is already the last battle in the game between Sun Quan and Guan Yu, and it is also the most critical battle, and there is no room for failure.

"Report-"

At this moment... a fast horse came galloping like a whirlwind. The messenger on the horse looked very tired. When he saw Sun Quan, he immediately got off the horse, knelt on one knee and opened the bamboo tube, took out the bamboo slips and handed it to Sun Quan. said.

"Xudu urgent matter——"

Hearing that it was an urgent message from Xu Du, Sun Quan became more energetic. His eyes were as bright as a torch and he quickly unfolded the bamboo slips.

But as his eyes swept across the words, his originally gloomy mood seemed to change into the complete opposite in an instant, "Ha...haha..."

Sun Quan smiled, and his cheeks were as if they had lifted up the clouds to see the sun. He actually smiled with relief, "What a good Kong Xiu (Wu Can), what a good Zhuge Ziyu. They have made great contributions... As an orphan, they have made great achievements for Soochow." Great job, haha...Zhuge Ke will sign a two-year armistice agreement with Cao Wei and Soochow on behalf of Jingzhou...Finally, we can finally slow down!"

This…

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but question, "The Sun-Liu Alliance also made an agreement...but..."

"This is different." Sun Quan waved his hand rather cheerfully, "This time it is a tripartite armistice agreement witnessed by the Emperor of Han. The Emperor of Han will issue an edict to inform the world. What Liu Bei and Guan Yu hold high is the goal of 'reviving the Han Dynasty' Big banner, now the former has their Jingzhou envoys going to Xu Capital to sign a contract, and the latter has the Emperor of Han witnessing and issuing an edict! Under this edict, whether it is Liu Bei or the Guan family father and son, if they dare to take a step beyond the thunder, then wait Let the people of the world poke their spines!”

Having said this, Sun Quan smiled again and handed the bamboo slip to Zhang Zhao while smiling.

Zhang Zhao quickly unfolded it, and Zhang Hong and Zhang Wen also quickly gathered around.

From this bamboo slip, they saw Zhuge Ke's dilemma because he was worried about the Zhuge family being implicated;

I saw Zhuge Ke’s final compromise;

Seeing that Cheng Yu had already stated that Zhuge Ke had signed this agreement and would only wait ten days for the emperor to come forward and announce it to the world...

I saw that Sun Quan played the "family affection" card with great success.

and many more…

Why is there another one?
Zhang Zhao keenly noticed that at the end of the letter, there was actually a condition written by Zhuge Ke, which was exactly this condition.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Zhang Wen's expressions all became condensed.

"My lord...Cao Cao and Zhuge Ke actually asked my lord to escort the Zhuge family members to Xudu City? This...my lord must also agree to him?"

Following Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan's laughter stopped.

He sighed and said calmly: "Because this time, Gu used his biological father and his family to threaten him. Zhuge Ke couldn't trust Gu any more. It is understandable for him to make such a request!"

"Then..." Zhang Zhao then asked: "Zhuge Yuanxun's betrayal is a certainty, but is Zhuge Ziyu also going to betray?"

"No!" Sun Quan said: "Tzuyu is a Confucian minister. He never speaks harshly when talking to Gu and admonishing him. He will use the most appropriate language and the most tactful way to tell Gu, what is right? What? Is it wrong? Because of this, Ziyu understands Gu best, and Gu knows Ziyu best... Even if all the Zhuge clan betrays him, Zhuge Ziyu will not. He will come back, he will definitely come back..."

This…

After Sun Quan said this, naturally, Zhang Zhao and others had nothing to say.

Sun Quan immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange horses and ships to send Zhuge Ziyu's tribe to Xudu City. The current situation does not allow me to hesitate for a moment. I am eager to see through the two-year armistice agreement. Now... the most... All it takes is time!”

Sun Quan continued to give instructions: "If you pass on the solitary order again, you will not be able to leave Lujiang to avoid confrontation with Guan Yu. Wait...let them wait for ten days!"

Having said this, Sun Quan seemed to have dropped most of the stones in his heart.

This also made him feel relaxed and relieved.

Even the steps away seemed sonorous and powerful.

Dragon's step and Tiger's step——

On the other hand... Lu Meng, who was feeling dizzy... seemed to have had a long, long dream. He dreamed that Guan Yu appeared in front of him and laughed at him.

Those heart-wrenching words made him extremely sad and heartbroken.

——‘Sneak attack on Jingzhou?Haha, do you know what it means to steal the chicken but lose the rice? 』

——"Stab Guan in the back, you are nothing more than a simple axe. Do you know that my son is the best at stealing?" 』

——"I am the Chief of Guan Yunchang, Shoutinghou of the Han Dynasty. Thief Lu and Thief Sun, all take your lives!" 』

These words...stressed Lu Meng's nerves one by one, making him a little dazed in the end.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, he woke up... He felt as if some kind of power was being sent to his shoulders, which stopped him from thinking wildly, allowed him to lie down peacefully, and even made him have Some Xingwei consciousness.

Along with this realization, Lu Meng heard the conversation between Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao and others outside the door, and also heard the news and letters sent by Xu Ducheng.

——"Stop...armistice agreement?"A two-year armistice?Are you going to send Zhuge Ziyu’s tribe to Xudu City? 』

Lu Meng was good at mental arithmetic. Even in this trance, his thinking was still extremely clear and thorough.

Suddenly, he figured out something.

He couldn't speak, but he was already muttering in his heart:
——"Isn't this Guan Lin's trick? 』

Lu Meng tried hard to awaken his consciousness and told Sun Quan his conjecture, but it was in vain...his body could not follow his consciousness at all.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

I don't know whether it was because he was too mentally exhausted, or because the "mental arithmetic" of Guan Lin's evil move was an extremely exhausting process, Lu Meng suddenly coughed violently.

He tried hard to open his mouth to say something, but his weak body couldn't stop him and he fainted again.

I could only hear shouts from around me: "Blood... what General Lu coughed up was blood——"

"Medical officer, medical officer——"

After that, Lu Meng could no longer hear any words. He seemed to have fainted... again.

The fire in Changsha City... was still burning too fiercely.

It burned away all Soochow's fantasies, and at the same time, it also burned away Lu Meng's hard work and passion.

It is said that fire and water are merciless. It is not only Cao Wei and Shu Han who are afraid of fire, but also Liu Bei and Cao Cao. As long as they are used properly, Soochow is still afraid of fire——

...

...

In Nanyang, Zang Ba was fishing on the river bank dressed in a commoner's short clothes. Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him. Zang Ba raised his hand to stop the man from stepping forward.

I only heard a report from someone who came: "Xu Ducheng sent someone to urge me again, and there is also a letter written by King Wei."

It was the voice of his son Zang Ai.

Zang Ba lifted the pole and slid the fish. He stood up suddenly and saw a lively fish coming out of the water. He calmly put the fish into the bamboo basket, then took the letter and nodded slightly. Then he fell into deep thought, and finally walked away with the letter in his hands.

His son Zang Ai quickly reminded: "Dad, your fish?"

Zang Ba chanted loudly: "Make a mark and let it go. Let's see if this stupid fish will bite my father's bait next time."

Zang Ba left without looking back, leaving Zang Ai standing there stunned.

He thought about it for a while, feeling reluctant to part with the fish, and said to himself, "Dad doesn't eat fish...then what's the point of fishing for it? Alas...such a fat fish makes a good stew!"

After that, he picked up the fish basket and chased his father.

There was an incense table placed in the official office of Sui County in Nanyang, and a eunuch was thinking: "...Grant Zang Ba the title of general to show off his power, and a fake axe. From now on, we will lead the Taishan army to march by land and water, and go west to Xudu to rush to the rescue. King Qin will rescue him. I'm here!" "

This is an edict sent by Cao Cao to Zang Ba through the hands of the emperor. In fact, this is the third edict Zang Ba has received. The content is without exception, ordering him to return to the aid of Xudu and participate in the defense of Xudu.

But every time, Zang Ba respectfully obeyed the leader's order to thank him, and promised to order troops immediately and set off tomorrow.

But every time...

When the eunuch left, Zang Ba had to go fishing, eat, and sleep... He never took it seriously, and he never had any intention of ordering troops.

This time the eunuch was careful. He saw that Zang Ba was still kowtowing and thanking him as usual, so he handed him the edict and quickly helped him up, "General Zang, we must tell you something on behalf of the king..."

"Messenger, please speak..."

"The military situation ahead is very strong. Please don't hesitate, sir, rectify your troops and horses as soon as possible, and set off quickly!"

"Alas..." Zang Ba sighed, but still agreed: "Yes, yes... It is not an easy task to just order troops and rush for reinforcements. Selecting people and horses, preparing food and fodder, plus... I am stationed in Sui County. Linjiang Xia, what if I leave, and the soldiers and horses left behind in Guan Si rush to attack my Suixian County? What will happen? If Suixian County is also lost...then the Wei Dynasty will be riddled with holes. ? So...sigh..." "Please also ask the envoy to tell King Wei that it's not that the general will not go, but that...it is really difficult to leave, and we must settle down to ensure that the Nanyang border is safe, so...that we can rush to help!"

This…

The envoy was blocked by Zang Ba's words and was speechless for a moment.

Zang Ba then issued an eviction order, "My father-in-law has been tired from a long journey. I'm here. Please take my father-in-law down to rest and entertain me..."

Not long after, Cao Cao's envoy was led away. Zang Ba's other son Zang Shun wondered, "If dad didn't want to save Xu Du, he could have rejected Cao Cao. Why...deliberately delay it? Such delay...but it would make it easier for Cao Cao." He was suspicious of his father. If he wanted to go, then at this time...Cao Ren was newly defeated, and the whole Cao Wei had many advisers and few generals who could lead the army. This was the right time for my father to make a great contribution, take the throne of the Wei court, and become the general of the Wei Dynasty! "

Listening to his son's words, Zang Ba threw away the emperor's will and asked, "It's in vain that you are familiar with the art of war, and you also said that you often study Guan Lin's strategies and mental methods... What? You can see this... Something like this?”

Zang Shun gritted his teeth, "Then...what else?"

Zang Ba explained to him: "One Guan Si poked such a big transparent hole in the Wei Dynasty, which almost led to the destruction of Soochow. With the current situation, why should we go to Xudu?"

Zang Shun thought for a while, and he seemed to understand, "What dad means is that if we go to Xudu, we will be pushed to the front line by Cao Cao to confront Guan Lin. Guan Lin...even dad should be afraid of it?"

"It's not that I'm afraid." Zang Ba narrowed his eyes slightly, "But it's not necessary... Haha, we old brothers all followed Wen Hou to conquer the world. Surrendering to Cao Cao is an expedient measure. At this time, Why work so hard for Cao Cao? Besides, why provoke that Guan Lin? No one who provoked him before ended well, so that kid... naturally has a specific person to provoke!"

When it comes to Guan Lin, that kid has a specific person to provoke, Zang Ba naturally thinks of his precious niece.

Never thought, right now.

A clear female voice came from outside the account, "Uncle, I haven't forgotten the original agreement between you and me..."

Speaking of Lingju...Lingju arrived, and this sound was made by Lingju.

Zang Ba did not expect to see Lingju here. In fact, Nanyang was not far from Luoyang City.

But what Zang Ba didn't expect was that the niece's elbows were pointing outwards. Without even saying a word of greeting, the topic turned to the original agreement, that is, that brat Guan Lin.

Zang Ba showed displeasure and asked deliberately: "What agreement? Do I have an agreement with Lingju?"

"Is uncle trying to bluff his niece?" Lingju's face turned green, showing a look of pale beauty. "Uncle, we had agreed at the beginning...if the emperor were to be..."

Zang Ba couldn't bear to continue to deceive this precious niece. Before Lingju could finish his words, he immediately sighed and said, "Remember, if Cao Cao loses the emperor, then I will surrender to Jingzhou." , Surrender to your wishful husband...that boy Guan Si!"

——"Like...a wishful husband!" 』

These four words can really change Lingju's face from "green" with pale face to shy red with dimples.

"There's no such thing as... there's no such thing as a perfect husband!"

"You're still quibbling." Zang Ba said unceremoniously, "Lingju... Every time you mention Guan Si, your face turns red. It was the same four months ago and it's still the same now. Haha, the male college is getting married. The daughter should get married! What are you afraid of? Why...the daughter of the dignified Marquis Wen, my niece of Zang Ba is not worthy of him Guan Si? If he really disagrees, then it’s okay to say that if Guan Si wins the emperor, my uncle will add The previous article asked Guan Si to marry you, and my uncle just surrendered with all his heart!"

Zang Ba's words... just said that Lingju's face was like a big red apple.

Lingju pursed his lips shyly.

"Uncle...you...you are talking nonsense again. My niece is looking for you...to talk about serious things!"

"Isn't Guan Si and you a serious matter?"

Zang Ba's mouth was not polite at all... Lingju was speechless for a moment.

Even the purpose of coming here...had to be put aside for a while and forgotten.

When Zang Ba said this, her heart felt inexplicably like a rabbit...

--"like?A wishful man? 』

...

...

Chenliu County in Yanzhou is only a hundred miles away from Xudu.

"--what is this?"

At this moment, a group of Wei troops who were encamped on the outskirts of Chenliu City and the Chinese army's main tent let out a resounding roar.

It was obvious that the general in the Chinese army's tent was extremely dissatisfied with something.

In fact, these soldiers and horses from Huainan came all the way, and when they heard about the defeat on the Xiangfan battlefield, their emotions were extremely depressed.

This roar was shouted by Cao Zhen. He had just received a handwritten letter from Cao Cao in Xudu. To be precise, it was a brand new order——

"How can there be such an order..." Cao Zhen angrily threw the bamboo slips to Zhang Liao in front of him, "General Zhang, look, look... there is no such order, before we were asked to mobilize Huainan troops and horses to return to Xu All, but now we are asked to go back...just go back, but...but..."

When it came to what made Cao Zhen emotional, he stomped his feet in despair, "This is simply humiliating, humiliating... let us go back just... just to pretend to be the Jiang Xia soldiers who Guan Lin, and robbed Guan Lin for him... The cavalry escorted by Soochow then sent all Zhuge Jin's tribe to Jiangxia? Is this an insult to me? This is a great shame and humiliation!"

That's right...

Cao Cao's order to Cao Zhen was to bring this army back, pretend to be the Jingzhou army, rob Zhuge Jin's tribe, and then... send them safely to Guan Lin's territory one by one.

In Cao Zhen's opinion, this was simply unheard of and unseen... it was simply the ultimate humiliation.

Compared to Cao Zhen, who was angrily, Zhang Liao looked much calmer. He read the bamboo slips from top to bottom, then thought about it for a while, and then muttered: "It's not a complete humiliation. At least there is another one at the back that will bring Zhuge Jin to justice." After the clansmen were sent to Jiangxia, Shouchun troops quickly counterattacked Huainan, recaptured Hefei, attacked Ruxukou, recaptured all the cities that the Wei had lost in the past year, and also defeated those that the Wei had not conquered before. Come down..."

Zhang Liao's tone was calm, but... his heart was actually throbbing. No one wanted to attack Soochow more than him...

Soochow killed his savior, and he had asked Cao Cao countless times for help.

He even thought about taking eight hundred brothers and killing them...

Then he slaughtered the entire Sun family of Dongwu to express the hatred of his benefactor.

But... the development of the current situation caused the Wei Dynasty and Soochow Wu to suddenly become ambiguous, which also made Zhang Liao can only bury this "hate" deeply in his heart.

What does he hate...

He hated it, hated his own incompetence, hated that he didn't dare to take the step to repay his kindness!
But now, the opportunity to counterattack Soochow is right in front of him. Zhang Liao's heart is already in turmoil, but he can't show it. He must be as calm as possible to guide Cao Zhen... to do as Cao Cao orders.

"What does General Zhang mean?"

Sure enough, Cao Zhen followed Zhang Liao's guidance and asked.

Zhang Liao explained, "Today's current situation forces the king to make such a choice... If we can't unite Wu against Jingzhou, then we can simply unite with Jingzhou and swallow Wu up in one breath! Divide the world into two parts - "

"What a bullshit situation!" Cao Zhen didn't want to believe this. He waved his hands angrily, "Isn't it the king who was threatened by the Jingzhou envoy and forced him to do this? Isn't it Xu Huang from Pinglu City and [-] Wei soldiers? His life? Guan Lin burned more than [-] of our Wei soldiers on the Xiangfan battlefield? Why didn’t he mention this condition in the first place? This is hypocrisy..."

"But... the initiative of the situation now rests in the hands of Guan Lin. If the king does not save him, the king will lose military morale and popular support, and will become the target of public criticism. This is the land of Kyushu. Who will be loyal to a king with a heart of steel? Who would serve a lord who doesn't care about his subordinates... This is a situation that affects the whole body. Zidan, you are still young... What you consider is nothing more than the gains and losses of a battle, but what King Wei considers is The world, the world..."

Zhang Liao's words were filled with sighs and emotions...

The effect of these words was remarkable. Cao Zhen seemed to be guided by this, and suddenly he could understand Cao Cao's painstaking efforts. In fact, Cao Zhen could not disobey Cao Cao's orders.

He was only a little unhappy: "When I thought of helping Guan Si, I... I was so angry... I actually wanted to help him save people this time? Alas, I am in a big mess now, General Wenyuan General Wenyuan, tell me what to do? Make up your mind for me!"

"What else can I do?" Zhang Liao paused for a moment, then suggested: "Then Guan Si is doing well this time, not to mention... I lost Hefei in the past, and I want to take it back even in my dreams..."

"This time, they just robbed the Zhuge clan in disguise. Let's just give him a favor... If we can take back Huainan, Hefei, and even Ruxukou... a group of villains from Jiangdong, who knows when they will... Adding chaos to the Wei Dynasty, so... so what if the world is divided into two parts? The king is not the overlord of Chu, and the Guan family father and son are not the ancestors of the Han Dynasty!"

At this point, Zhang Liao's eyes became determined, and he had already begun to make arrangements, "General Zidan, come pretend to be a Jiangxia soldier, plunder the Zhuge tribesmen, and send them to Jiangxia;"

"And I... only need 3000 men, enough to capture the entire Huaisi. When General Zidan comes for reinforcements, you and I will march into Hefei together and take back everything that the Wei Dynasty lost... If this battle is successful, That General Zidan is the first to do it, if there is any fault, it is all my fault, Zhang Liao's fault!"

This…

Faced with Zhang Liao's proposal, faced with the temptation of merit and demerit thrown by Zhang Liao.

It was difficult for Cao Zhen not to accept Zhang Liao's proposal. He pondered for a moment and slammed the table. "This arrangement is very appropriate. However, to attack Huainan, three thousand? Isn't that enough? I will give you five thousand cavalry, including your original cost." Eight hundred chapters, ten days? Is it possible that General Wenyuan decided to conquer Huainan?"

"Ten days? Haha..." Zhang Liao smiled, as if he finally had a chance to achieve his wish, and smiled with great relief and joy, "It took Guan Yu ten days to fight from Xiangyang to Chaisang, Guan Yu is faster? How can I, Zhang Liao, Will you be slower than him? Why ten days? Stepzi Dan, after you successfully robbed the Zhuge clan, Huainan will be recovered within five days, Hefei will be conquered within seven days, and troops will be at Ruxukou within ten days. If everything goes well , On the [-]th, the heroes of the Wei Dynasty came to build the city of Ye, making those rats tremble with fear."

Listening to Zhang Liao's sworn words...

Cao Zhen felt inexplicably confident.

He clenched his fists, "Then... let's do this according to what the king said. Huh, it's easier to lock up that boy Si, just let him play for a few days. Wait for you and I will destroy Soochow first, and then go and kill him." His majesty——"

that's all…

Overnight, the returning Huainan army of Cao Wei quickly turned their horses and galloped towards Shouchun again.

only…

At this moment, Soochow didn't know that its empty Huainan defense line was being watched and cared about by a group of tigers, leopards and money wolves.

How did Soochow know that the team escorting Zhuge Ke to Xudu City was also being closely watched by another group of jackals, tigers and leopards!

Suddenly overnight, the three-legged situation was on the verge of collapse...

The world is divided into two parts, and suddenly... it's one minute closer!
...

...

Xu Capital City, the Palace of the King of Wei.

In the distance, Cheng Yu's voice resounded, startling the sleeping birds on the nine spines of the palace.

"Your Majesty... just... agreed to Zhuge Ke's request?"

At this moment, Cheng Yu's face was extremely complicated, like confusion, surprise, confusion, worry, horror... It was like a complex of many emotions.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao agreed to Zhuge Ke's conditions. Jia Xu was the one who knew about it in advance, but Cheng Yu seemed to be late to the matter. He even... even passed on the "false information" that Zhuge Ke "treason" and signed the contract. The post house in Soochow...reached the ears of Soochow envoys.

This... this will undoubtedly make them make the most wrong judgment and make a decision that will lead to the collapse of Soochow.

Cheng Yu couldn't figure it out...why?How could such a domineering and powerful person like the king agree to Zhuge Ke's "completely unreasonable" request? No, it was not Zhuge Ke, but Guan Lin's "completely unreasonable" request.

And... in the face of Cheng Yu's questioning, Cao Cao didn't say anything. He was sitting on the throne with a desolate look on his face, pressing hard on the table in front of him with both hands.

On the other hand, Jia Xu in the palace at Tongchu, who knew everything, was watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose... as if he was staying out of the situation.

In fact, Cao Cao not only promised Zhuge Ke, but also cooperated with him in the scene of rescuing the "Zhuge people" and followed his instructions to attack Huainan, Hefei, and Ruxukou.

In addition, Cao Cao also agreed to Zhuge Ke's last promise, which was to give up Xu Capital in ten days!

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Yu was still persuading, "Even...even if it's for the [-] Wei troops, for General Xu Huang, for the morale of the army and the popularity of the people, but...it's okay to cooperate with him in Zhuge Ke's acting, and it's okay to attack Huainan, but...it's okay to give up. Xu Du, this... this is the imperial capital. Is your Majesty going... to move the capital for the Emperor of Han? Your Majesty, think about Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si before. The Han Dynasty moving its capital... is ominous and unknown!"

Amidst Cheng Yu's hoarse voices.

Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly, and his tiger eyes widened to the maximum, almost bursting out.

"Your Majesty..."

Cheng Yu still wants to talk, Cao Cao is his sun!
He wants to hold up the sun of Cao Cao——

But now, what he saw was that the sun was fading, the light was no longer shining, and Cao Cao was almost out of breath due to the unfavorable situation and the pressure in his heart...

"Great... (King)!"... This time, Cheng Yu had just spoken, and Cao Cao finally spoke. He stood up slowly and walked to the huge window in the hall. The towering stairs could be seen from the window in the distance. See the high platform where he met Zhuge Ke that night.

Cao Cao looked at the high platform and sighed. "Zhongde, do you know what Gu saw that night?"

"Wha...what?" Cheng Yu asked in surprise.

Cao Cao did not answer immediately, but stretched out his index finger and pointed at the sky.

Cheng Yu also looked at the sky through the window, but it seemed that there was nothing in the sky except the clouds and the bright sun.

Cao Cao's eyes slowly raised...

The difference from Cheng Yu was that the sky in front of him reminded Cao Cao of that night... He chatted with Zhuge Ke all night, and at dawn, he raised his head and saw an extremely horrifying scene.

It was this scene...that made Cao Cao realize.

Xu Ducheng...he can't defend it at all!
As for Luoyang, he couldn't hold it. At that moment, Cao Cao just wanted to move the capital. Even... he didn't want to move to Luoyang, he wanted to move to Yecheng!

He wants to leave this place that scares him!
Under the fearful sky——

...
