Can I get to the other side?

The floor in the announcement room was in a mess.

After Jia Xu walked into the announcement room, he couldn't help but slow down. He glanced at the utensils scattered on the floor, then quickly looked away, lowered his head and walked forward.

Liu Xie had already adjusted his mood. When he heard the familiar footsteps behind him, he knew it was Jia Xu without turning around. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty."

Jia Xu bowed slightly and said respectfully: "I have just received the news that Fa Censor is not dead and is now returning to Yecheng with Mr. Zhen."

"What did you say?"

Liu Xie turned around immediately after hearing this, and his sharp eyes fell on Jia Xu, "Fa Xiaozhi is still alive?!"

Didn't the news just come back that Fan Zheng had been buried in the sea of ​​fire? How come Jia Xu Fan Zheng is still alive?

What the hell is going on?

Jia Xu did not dare to conceal it and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, this news was brought back by the messenger in embroidered clothes that I arranged to protect the imperial censor."

"This messenger in embroidered clothes rescued the imperial censor of the law on the night when the post house was flooded, and then asked for help from Zhen Guiren to hide his whereabouts."

"Now they are mixed with Zhen Guiren's entourage, and they will arrive in Yecheng soon."

Jia Xu briefly explained the cause and effect.

At the same time, I felt a little emotional.

It has to be said that Fa Zheng is really destined, and Zhen Guiren is smart enough. Not only did he not participate in Zhen's plan, but he also saved Fa Zheng.

This behavior not only preserved his own status and the status of the dragon heir in his belly, but also protected the Zhen family to a certain extent.

Because as long as Fa Zheng is alive, there is still room for maneuver, but if he dies, it will really be irreversible.

"Did Zhen Mi save Fazheng?"

Liu Xie was secretly surprised when he heard this. After coming back to his senses, he suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was relieved.

The reason why he lost his composure after learning the news of Fa Zheng's death was that he was angry at Zhen for being so bold, and he was also worried that Zhen Mi was involved in this matter.

Even if Zhen Mi was not involved, Zhen's act of killing Fa Zheng must be severely punished, otherwise the court's face will be lost and his majesty as the emperor will be lost.

But after all, he had deep feelings for Zhen Mi, so it was not easy to kill her relatives.

But now that Fazheng is not dead, and Zhen Mi helped save him, we have more options to deal with this matter.

Jia Xu observed Liu Xie's expression and asked at the right time: "Your Majesty, since Fa Yushi is not dead, what is the purpose of sending an order to Duke Wen to lead troops to arrest the entire Zhen family..."

"Go ahead!"

Liu Xie said without thinking, his eyes were extremely cold, "We must not tolerate the actions of the imperial envoys. The entire Zhen family must be arrested and brought to Yecheng for trial."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

No matter what, murdering an imperial envoy is a crime equivalent to treason. Anyone who dares to do this is an enemy of the imperial court.

Whether the imperial envoy was killed or not is another matter.

The two cannot be generalized.

Jia Xu understood Liu Xie's thoughts, so he said no more, turned around and left the announcement room to convey the decree.

…

After the victory in Chang'an City, Zhang Liao led 50,000 troops to stay in Chang'an to guard the city, while Lu Bu and Zhang He led the troops to escort tens of thousands of Xiliang army prisoners back to Yecheng.

This victory relied on the cooperation between inside and outside to catch Ma Chao by surprise. The two sides did not fight hard for too long, so they killed few enemies and captured many prisoners.

About 20,000 Xiliang troops died on the battlefield. Ma Chao fled with 30,000 remaining troops, and a full 50,000 Xiliang troops were captured by the imperial court.

Lu Bu was actually not very satisfied with this result.

"It's a pity that Ma Chao guessed that we were ambushing soldiers and horses in the Hexi Corridor and didn't flee to Liangzhou, otherwise he would have been captured alive!"

Lu Bu said unhappily while riding on the red rabbit horse.

He led his troops to chase Ma Chao and drove him all the way to Liangzhou, because Liu Bei had already ambushed his troops in the Hexi Corridor, the only way to Liangzhou.

But Ma Chao was too cautious. After leaving Sanguan, he chose to flee north, and finally escaped into the territory of the Qiang people.

And they had just taken Chang'an, and they couldn't extend the battle line that long. There was a lot of risk in pursuing them deep into the Qiang territory, so they had no choice but to give up.

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhao Yun on the side said: "Ma Chao has been defeated so badly that even if he escapes, it will be difficult for him to escape."

"After Your Majesty has wiped out the Cao thieves and unified the world, it will not be too late to send his troops northward and destroy the Qiang people together with Ma Chao."

"I will go with Mr. Wen then."

Zhao Yun's words made Lu Bu's depressed mood slightly better, and he said with a hearty smile: "Then it's settled, let's see who can cut off Ma Chao's head first!"

After successive battles, he recognized Zhao Yun more and more.

If Zhao Yun hadn't been a general in the Forbidden Army now, he would have had to ask the emperor for orders to take this brave general under his command.

In front of them, Sima Yi and Chen Gong were also chatting.

Chen Gong asked: "Military advisor, what kind of clever plan is hidden in the bag you gave me before?"

"Now that Ma Chao has been defeated, why does the military strategist still keep that tips bag?"

During these days, he occasionally saw Sima Yi taking out the kit and playing with it, with a proud smile on his face, which made him feel particularly strange.

"hehe."

Sima Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, fumbled for the brocade bag in his hand and said, "This brocade bag was given to me by Zhuge Kongming."

"He was sure that I couldn't defeat Ma Chao, so before I went out, he gave me this brocade bag and asked me to open it when I was desperate, saying that it contained a brilliant plan to defeat the enemy."

"But he still underestimated me after all. How difficult is it to defeat a mere Ma Chao?"

Sima Yi's tone was full of pride.

This great victory made him feel proud.

When he returned to Yecheng, he would find Zhuge Liang as soon as possible and throw this brocade bag in the face of that arrogant guy!

After listening to it, Chen Gong looked at the brocade bag and then at Sima Yi, his face looked a little strange.

"Military Advisor, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Gongtai, just say it."

Sima Yi was in a good mood at this time, and said with a smile.

Chen Gong coughed lightly and said, "Although Zhuge Kongming is extremely intelligent, no matter how clever he is, he can't guess the changes in the battle situation thousands of miles away."

"Is there a possibility, I mean maybe... there may be nothing in this brocade bag, but Zhuge Kongming used it to inspire the military advisor to fight?"

Sima Yi's smile froze on his face instantly.

He then slowly lowered his head to look at the brocade bag in his hand, and the joy in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by panic.

Yes, how could he ignore this?

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. No matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, how could he predict the difficulties they will encounter in advance and come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy?

Is there really nothing in this brocade bag?

Sima Yi was shocked, and hurriedly opened the brocade bag and took out a small piece of paper from it.

He unfolded the note and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately, his face was full of shock and disbelief, and the whole person was stagnant.

Because there was no clever plan to defeat the enemy written on the note, just a simple sentence.

"Brother Zhongda, congratulations on your victory."

Sima Yi looked at this sentence, and Zhuge Liang's voice with a faint smile seemed to ring in his ears.

Instantly, an indescribable anger and shame filled his heart. He clenched the note and the brocade bag in his hand into a ball, and then threw it hard on the ground!

"Zhuge village man! Is this also part of your plan?"

"How dare you humiliate me like this!"

Sima Yi was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to fly back to Yecheng right now and grab Zhuge Liang and beat him up.

He believed that Zhuge Liang had given him a plan to defeat the enemy, and it was precisely because of this brocade bag that he dared to act with confidence.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar published this novel for the first time.

But in the end, there was no strategy in the brocade bag.

He was completely fooled by Zhuge Liang!

Seeing Sima Yi's reaction, Chen Gong knew that he had guessed right, so he stepped forward to comfort him: "Since we have won, military advisor, don't worry so much."

If it weren't for the encouragement of this brocade bag, Sima Yi would probably not have been able to do the feat of breaking Tongguan alone.

In a sense, Zhuge Liang helped Sima Yi, and this great victory also had a share of the credit from the former.

Sima Yi's face was very ugly. He knew how much this brocade bag played a role in him, but when he thought that he had become a part of Zhuge Liang's calculations, he felt an unspeakable sense of humiliation in his heart.

"I will never let this matter go!"

Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said this, and then he continued to ride forward, and the horse's hoof stepped heavily into the snow.

Chen Gong couldn't help shaking his head and laughing at this.

And the army had not advanced far, when suddenly a cavalryman with a flying dragon flag on his back ran towards them from the official road.

"Five hundred miles in a hurry, Lord Wen Lu Bu receives the order!"

The cavalryman stopped his horse in front of the army and shouted in a slightly hoarse voice.

Although Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Chen Gong, Sima Yi and others were surprised to hear this, no one dared to neglect it, and immediately turned over and dismounted to receive the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the Zhongshan Zhen family is suspected of plotting to murder the imperial envoy of the court. Lord Wen Lu Bu is ordered to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Wuji County immediately to arrest the entire Zhen family and bring them back to the imperial capital for trial!"

"If there are any resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"

"As ordered!"

The cavalryman read the imperial edict loudly, and then came to Lu Bu with both hands holding the imperial edict and put it in his hands.

At this time, Lu Bu looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and his mind was a little confused for a while. He looked at Sima Yi and Chen Gong on the side in a daze.

"Military Advisor, Gongtai, the imperial edict just now said that I should lead troops to arrest... the entire Zhen family?"

Lu Bu asked uncertainly.

He wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Although he was not familiar with politics, he knew the status and importance of the Zhen family. You know, the equipment of his army and the military pay of the soldiers were all provided by the Zhen family.

Moreover, the Zhen family was also one of the earliest meritorious officials who supported the emperor. Without the Zhen family, the emperor would not have been able to successfully defeat Yuan Shao.

However, the emperor now ordered him to lead troops to arrest the entire Zhen family?

Chen Gong and Sima Yi were also shocked. After looking at each other, Sima Yi looked at the cavalryman and asked, "What happened? How did the Zhen family murder the imperial envoy of the court?"

Although the cavalryman was very tired because of the journey, he answered truthfully after hearing the question: "I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that the imperial envoy sent by your majesty to Wuji County to check the accounts of the Zhen family died due to a flood in the posthouse shortly after arriving in Wuji County."

"I heard that the fire seemed to be related to Zhen, but there is no conclusion yet, and there is no definite evidence to prove that it was Zhen's fault."

This news is no longer a secret. Now people in the court and the public are discussing it. Even a small soldier like him can find out a little.

After the cavalry soldier finished speaking, Chen Gong and Sima Yi instantly understood what was going on, and their horror became even greater.

"How could Zhen be so bold?"

Chen Gong muttered to himself, plotting to murder the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to check the accounts, isn't this clearly against the court?

No wonder the emperor was furious. He directly issued an order without any evidence or conviction, asking Lu Bu, who had just left the battlefield, to lead troops to arrest Zhen.

"What was the reaction of Concubine Zhen?"

Sima Yi asked again. Zhen was a relative of Zhen Mi, who was the most favored concubine by the emperor.

The cavalryman said, "Lady Zhen is not in Yecheng now. Her mother passed away not long ago, and she returned to her hometown to pay respects. She is now on her way back to Yecheng."

"By the way, I also heard that Lady Zhen is also pregnant with a dragon heir."

The cavalryman told all the news he knew.

As expected, this news shocked everyone present, and Lu Bu widened his eyes.

"What did you say? Lady Zhen is also pregnant?!"

He had only been on the expedition for more than two months, but now he had the illusion that he had been on the expedition for two years.

The emperor sent people to investigate the Zhen family, the Zhen family murdered the imperial envoy, the emperor ordered him to arrest the entire Zhen family, and Zhen Mi was pregnant with a dragon heir...

One by one, Lu Bu's brain was a little insufficient, and his mood was even more confused.

But what he cared about most was Zhen Mi's pregnancy. Although it was a good thing for the emperor to have more children, it also gave him a faint sense of crisis.

What if... his daughter didn't give birth to a son, but Zhen Mi did, would the position of crown prince fall to someone else?

"Fengxian, come here."

Chen Gong suddenly said to Lu Bu, pulling him aside.

Lu Bu was in a bad mood at the moment, and said unhappily: "Gongtai, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, why are you sneaking around?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Chen Gong glared at Lu Bu, then lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty asked you to lead troops to arrest Zhen, this matter is not that simple."

"You have to remember one thing - that is, don't do anything extra, act according to His Majesty's will, understand?"

Although Chen Gong's words were more obscure, Lu Bu surprisingly understood the meaning of his words, frowned and said: "Gongtai, you underestimate me too much."

"I, Lu Bu, have been upright all my life, so I don't disdain to do such despicable things as kicking someone when they are down, not to mention that I owe Zhen a lot of favors."

"Don't worry, I will do whatever His Majesty tells me to do, I will not mess around if I should arrest or kill."

After that, Lu Bu handed over the task of escorting the prisoners to Zhao Yun, and then personally led 10,000 elite troops to Wuji County.
