Cao Thief

Chapter 795 The Beginning of Chaos
Zhou Yu is sick!

When Lu Su rushed to Shu County and saw Zhou Yu, he was obviously frightened by the sight in front of him!It didn't take long for Zhou Yu to become inconspicuous, as if he had changed into a different person.The former Mei Zhoulang no longer exists, and Zhou Yu lying on the couch is lifeless, without any trace of the spirituality of the past.

"Zijing, you're here!"

Zhou Yu was in a daze, but he still recognized Lu Su.

He smiled bitterly: "But the lord sent you here to take my life?"

"Gongjin, where did you start talking about that?"

"My lord captured Gongmiao and drove away the two old generals, Cheng and Huang. Now, am I the only one left?"

Lu Su hurried forward and sat down by the bed.

"Gongjin thinks too much...my lord...he just heard that Gongjin is sick, so he asked me to come and visit him."

Zhou Yu smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Lu Su sat aside, suddenly didn't know what to say.

Once upon a time, he and Zhou Yu were good friends who talked about everything.But he never thought that one day the two of them would meet face to face and didn't know how to speak.After a long time, Lu Su sighed, stood up and comforted him, "Don't think too much about Gong Jin, and take good care of yourself. In the future, the lord... will definitely revive Gong Jin. If there is no Gong Jin in the eight counties in Jiangdong, After all, there are some deficiencies. As for the male seedlings, I will try my best to persuade them."

The six counties of Jiangdong Ben.

But because of the two counties of Guiyang and Changsha, it is called the eight counties.

Zhou Yu didn't seem to want to say anything, so he closed his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, if you need any help, please let me know, Su will never refuse."

Lu Su knew that Zhou Yu didn't want to talk anymore.So he stood up and said goodbye... Before leaving, he said to Xiao Qiao, but Mrs. Xiao Qiao looked indifferent.

"Zi Jing!"

"what?"

Just as Lu Su was about to go out, he suddenly heard Zhou Yu calling him.

"If something happens to me one day, I would like to ask Zijing to take care of you and take care of my children... Please send them to Fuchun, and ask the two old generals Cheng and Huang to take care of them... In the future, if you have If I have the opportunity to meet my sister-in-law and Xiao Shao, please apologize on my behalf. What happened back then, Yu was out of selfishness and had absolutely no personal affair. The reason why she was negligent in those years was not because of Zhou Yu's coolness, but because of her mother and son. .

It would be better if they can forgive, if they are not willing to forgive, let her go..."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Mrs. Xiao Qiao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she sent Lu Su out of the house.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. When I go back, I will definitely invite a famous doctor to treat Gong Jin. As for Gong Miao's matter, I will persuade the lord. Please take good care of Gong Jin. Zhou Gongjin is not in Jiangdong right now."

Mrs. Xiao Qiao forced a laugh, nodded, and agreed.

Lu Su Xingye immediately Shu County, rushed to Jiankang.

At this time, Sun Quan was completely in disarray.

In particular, the departure of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai dealt a huge blow to Sun Quan.Back then, Sun Jian left three old ministers, and only Han Dang was left.However, compared with Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, Han Dang is obviously lacking in both virtue and ability.The two veterans left with their seals, causing panic in Jiangdong.

While Sun Quan worked hard to stabilize the situation, he was under tremendous pressure at the same time!

Cao Wei's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and Cao Wei's water army is also expanding...Gan Ning sits at Sanjiangkou and confronts Jiangdong water army several times.From being at a disadvantage at the beginning, it is now faintly able to contend... As for the Dongling Island navy, it is also getting stronger.Although Lu Su wanted to attack Tangling Island several times, the result was not optimistic.In several confrontations, they were all evenly matched.Pound, the prefect of Guangling, cooperated seamlessly with Zhou Cang, making Lu Su try several times, but returned without success.At the same time, the Tangling Island Navy attacked the coastal areas several times, threatening the waters of Jiangdong, making the people along the coast of Jiangdong even more panicked.

Under such circumstances, Sun Quan had to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness.

Order the coastal people in Wu Jun, Kuaiji and other places to retreat to avoid being attacked by Cao Jun... Fortunately, Cao Wei has not made much action so far.

Lu Su returned to Jiankang and urged Sun Quan.

Coupled with the departure of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, Sun Quan also hesitated.

After weighing it, he finally decided to release He Qi.But he will no longer be hired as the prefect of Kuaiji in Heqi.

At the same time, he was ordered to strictly monitor He Qi.

In this way, it is equivalent to putting He Qi under house arrest.

Although the goal was not achieved, He Qi's life was finally saved.Lu Su and Zhuge Jin couldn't help but feel relieved.The two discussed it and decided to persuade Sun Quan to revive He Qi when the opportunity was right.

Now that Sun Quan is in a rage, it is not easy to persuade him to change his mind.

"Zijing, when will you return to Danyang?"

In the garden of Zhugejin's mansion, Lu Su and Zhugejin sat opposite each other.

Lu Su said: "Guangling Pang De has frequently harassed Dantu recently, which is quite a headache.

With the cooperation of Zhou Cang on Dongling Island, he has the advantages of boats and boats. It is no longer the time when we had the advantage on the water.

Especially those huge sea-going ships, which are huge in size.

Although it is not very flexible, it is very suitable as a support cover... Ziming made several attacks, all for the sake of getting cheap.I have one more thing to do when I come back this time, which is to ask the king to build a giant boat so as not to suffer losses at sea in the future.Your Majesty has already begun to consider this matter, and plans to set up Zhenhai County in Kuaiji, build a dock, and build seagoing ships.If the ship is built successfully, our Jiangdong navy will be able to approach Dongling Island and contain Cao Wei's navy. "

Lu Su is full of confidence.

But Zhuge Jin was full of worries...

It took Cao Cao nearly eight years to build the Tangling Island Navy, recruiting skilled craftsmen, and spending countless money and food to build the current Dongling Island Navy.At the beginning, Jiangdong only focused on the big rivers, and the boats it built were relatively small, and it had no experience in building giant seagoing ships.Even if we start to shift our focus now, it will be difficult to succeed in a few years... Not to mention, this battle at sea is completely different from the battle on the river.Cao Wei is now rich and powerful, and can afford it!Jiang Dong, can you hold on?

But seeing Lu Su's self-confidence, it was difficult for Zhuge Jin to persuade him.

The two sat in the garden and sighed, discussing the current situation...

Suddenly, a retainer ran in in a panic, bowed in front of Zhuge Jin and said, "General Qi, something is wrong."

"what happened?"

"Just received the news that Governor Zhou, Governor Zhou passed away two days ago!"

"what?"

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin stood up at the same time.

"The governor of Zhou has passed away. A local official came to report and confirm the matter."

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin could not help but look at each other.

Zhou Yu, dead?
Zhou Yu actually died like this...

The two looked at each other for a long time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Zhou Yu's death, I'm afraid Jiangdong will be even more chaotic!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first month of the second year of Xinglong.

It has been more than half a year since returning to Chang'an, and Cao Peng has never been appointed.

Although worshiping the General of Hussars, it is a vacant position and has no power at all.Many people are complaining about Cao Peng!But Cao Cao's prestige is still there, and no one dares to come forward to oppose it.And what about Cao Cao?It was as if he had forgotten about Cao Peng, and he never asked about it, nor did he send anyone to Xinwuhou's mansion to offer condolences.

Mrs. Bian, on the other hand, often sent some small gifts to show her concern.

Cao Peng also returned the gift, and then it seemed as if nothing happened, it was time to have fun, what to do... He invested a lot of money to open three academies in Zhongnanshan, Longxi, and Nanyang to attract students to study.The threshold of the academy is also very low, open to the whole society, and does not charge any fees.

This also surprised many people!

Some people played Cao Cao, but they didn't want Cao Cao, but said: "It's better to find something to do. It's better than some people who are idle and don't do their jobs. They only know how to sing with a group of people who don't know how to do it. You learn from this guy, but he can have fun. Wen if you have time , go ask that kid, do you need help? If it’s not too much, just give me some convenience.”

These words contain various deep meanings.

Idle around, do not do business properly... I am talking about Cao Zhi.

Recently, there have been many voices in the court saying that Cao Zhi is extremely talented and more suitable to inherit the throne than Cao Zhang.Cao Cao used such an attitude to show that he would not replace the prince.Although Cao Zhi is good at learning, he is too loose.

On the other hand, it is a warning to some people.

Don't try to trouble Cao Peng!
I can dismiss him from office and confine him, but you can't...

Xun Yu immediately agreed, and then issued an order to encourage students, which was an official attitude!

Cao Peng did not write a letter of thanks.

In his spare time, he plays chess with Fazheng Zhuge Liang at home, cooks tea, teases the children, and plays around with his wife and children.

Or lead his guards to hunt around Chang'an.

Time, just like this day by day.

In a blink of an eye, Cao Peng has passed his thirties...

At the beginning of the second year of Xinglong, Cao Cao issued an edict to dismiss Deng Ji from his position as governor of Bingzhou.The issuance of this decree immediately aroused numerous protests.Deng Ji is a person with a disability. He used to be an official outside the country. If he wanted to return to the capital and become the master of the central government, and he was one of the Nine Ministers, Dali Temple Minister, many people opposed him.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to ability and virtue, the appointment of officials must also have appearance.

You let a disabled person serve as one of the nine ministers... Not to mention, the minister of Dali Temple after Cao Cao's reset has more power than the original court lieutenant.Many people are staring at the position of Minister of Dali Temple, but now you hand over this position to Deng Ji?If this spread out, wouldn't it be laughed at to death?

I really can't bear it if I change someone else!

But who is Cao Cao?
I would rather bear others than others bear me...

A very egotistical and very strong person.

Did he ever care what other people thought?In fact, since he greeted the emperor of Han and served the emperor as an order to the princes, there have been constant disputes.But every time, isn't he suppressed by him with extremely strong means?

This time, no exception!

"I employ people only for their talents.

Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, non-uncles and grandchildren were not enough to be the minister of Dali Temple.I have made up my mind, so don't repeat it. "

"Wen Ruo, how can your Majesty live like this?"

After retiring from the court, many people surrounded the prime minister Xun Yu.

Unexpectedly, Xun Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has ordered, so don't repeat it.

If you are dissatisfied, you can discuss it with your majesty.This matter is determined by His Majesty, and I cannot change it... However, although my uncle and grandson are flawed, their talents are indeed outstanding.It has been 15 years since the second year of Jian'an. In the past 15 years, uncles and grandchildren have made outstanding achievements, and there are only a handful of people who can compare with them in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty.

He is upright and upright, the most suitable for Dali Siqing. "

Many people just remembered that when Deng Ji first entered Xudu, he made friends with Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

How could you ask Xun Yu to stop Deng Ji?
Can't help Xun Yu, including Dong Zhao, Liu Ye and others, as well as Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan...no one is willing to come forward to stop it.

Deng Ji is Cao Peng's brother-in-law.

Although Cao Peng was dismissed from office, please don't forget that no one in the whole court can compare to his extensive network.

Even Xun Yu has interests with Cao Peng.

As long as Cao Peng is around, the fact that Deng Ji returns the capital cannot be stopped...

But, who can suppress Cao Peng?

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the new Marquis Wu's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

In a few days, Deng Ji's family will be back... This also means that Cao Peng's family can finally reunite after 15 years of ups and downs.Even if Cao Peng is now under house arrest, this fact will not be changed.The entire Cao family was beaming with joy.Not only to celebrate the Lantern Festival, there is also a happy event, Ma Yunlu and Zhao Yun over there, finally have a crystallization of love, the eldest son Zhao Tong, the full moon!
Naturally, Cao Peng wanted to celebrate it and held a banquet in the mansion.

However, when the banquet was in full swing, he suddenly heard a report from his retainers: "Zhongchang is like a servant of Yue, and is asking to see him outside the mansion."

Cao Peng was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly went out to meet him with his father Cao Ji.

"Xin Wuhou, don't repeat, please enter the palace with the miscellaneous family."

Cao Peng was very surprised...

He returned to Chang'an for more than half a year, and this was the first time he received an imperial edict allowing him to enter the palace for an audience.

"Servant Yue Chang, what happened?"

Yue Ban seemed a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "Don't ask Xin Wuhou... By the way, can you still keep the things that His Majesty entrusted to Xin Wuhou?"

Cao Peng immediately realized, "But the secret edict?"

"Exactly!"

"Of course it's well preserved."

"Please Xin Wuhou bring the secret edict and follow me into the palace."

Cao Peng didn't ask any more questions, and quickly ran into the house, took Mi Zhao with him, and under the worried eyes of his family, he and Yue Ban went to Miyagi together.

As soon as he entered Miyagi, Cao Peng immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The city of Chang'an was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and laughter continued...

However, in Miyagi, the guards are indeed heavily guarded and deserted.There is a post at ten steps, and a sentry at five steps, but seeing the imperial guards patrolling the palace city, all of them have serious expressions on their faces.There was a tense atmosphere in the whole palace.When Cao Peng followed Yue Ban to Zichen Pavilion, he saw Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were all waiting outside the palace.Cao Hong stood with his helmet pierced through his armor, holding a spear, exuding a faint murderous aura.Seeing Cao Peng, no one showed surprise.

Yue Ban hurriedly came to the outside of the hall, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the new Marquis Wu is here!"

In the hall, there was silence.

After a while, someone preached: "Your Majesty has a decree to pass on to the new Marquis Wu, Prime Minister Xun, Duke Cheng... and others to see him."

Cao Peng ranked first, but he knew the importance, so he came last.

"Brother Fengxiao, what happened?"

He walked side by side with Guo Jia and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Guo Jia lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty suddenly fell into a coma during the day and just woke up.

Ah Fu, after going in for a while, be careful what you say.

I am worried, Your Majesty, he..."

Guo Jia didn't say any more.

However, Cao Peng's eyes widened, revealing a look of astonishment!
Although Guo Jia didn't say it clearly, but the meaning has been expressed very clearly...Cao Cao, I'm afraid it's going to die!
