After Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong retreated, Wang Kai immediately summoned his advisers and told them what Kuai Yue had come to say.

After listening to what Wang Kai said, Fang Qiao took the lead in speaking: "Lord, if the situation in Jingzhou is really as Kuai Liang said, then we can postpone the capture of Heluo and go all out to capture the three counties of Jingbei." ”

At this time, Zhang Ji said: "Lord, our army has not had a chance to recuperate after repeated battles, if we raise troops to attack Jingzhou now, I am afraid that the logistical pressure will increase dramatically, and millions of Li people have migrated into Guanzhong, this is really not the time to use swords." ”

Hearing this, Wang Kai said again: "This is indeed not the time to use the sword again, our army has begun to be stretched, I plan to repair the army for a year before moving the army, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

When everyone heard this, they also agreed.

Immediately, Wang Kai also summoned Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong again and said to them: "Mr. Kuai, General Huang, I understand your situation very well, but our army is exhausted from repeated battles, and I plan to repair for a year before making plans." ”

Hearing this, Kuai Liang immediately replied: "Wang Zhenxi, if this is the case, please also take in the Jingzhou army in Xinye County." ”

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Kuai?"

"Wang Zhenxi, Liu Jingzhou has two sons, Cai Mao supported the second son Liu Cong to succeed Jingzhou Mu, and the eldest prince came to Xinye to live temporarily under our protection, if Wang Zhenxi can not immediately send troops to capture Jingzhou, the safety of the eldest prince cannot be guaranteed."

"Mr. Kuai is talking about Liu Qi's son in Xinye County?"

"Exactly."

"Mr. Kuai, please go back and tell Liu Qi Gongzi, just say that I, Wang Kai, am willing to take him in."

"Thank you Wang Zhenxi, I'll go back and report to my son."

At this time, Huang Zhong suddenly spoke.

"Wang Zhenxi, now that the business has been discussed, I wonder if I can go to see my wife and children?"

"General Huang doesn't need to say that, it's your freedom to see your wife and children."

"Thank you Wang Zhenxi!"

Immediately, Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong also said goodbye to Wang Kai.

After the two left, Huang Zhong said to Kuai Liang: "Lord Kuai, I want to go and see my wife and children first, and please wait for me for a while." ”

"General Huang go ahead, I'll wait for you at the inn."

Huang Zhong agreed and quickly rushed to Huang Xu's location.

After Huang Zhong secretly observed, he also left silently, because he still had official business, and he couldn't enjoy the joy of family right away.

After Huang Zhong quickly returned to the inn, Kuai Liang also asked suspiciously, "General Huang, didn't you go to see your wife and children?" ”

"I saw it, but I just glanced at it from a distance, and now I still have official business, and when these official duties are over, I will meet them again."

Hearing this, Kuai Liang also sighed about Huang Zhong's loyalty.

Subsequently, Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong also set off to return.

Not long after they left Chang'an, Wang Kai's envoy also returned to Chang'an to convey the edict of the Son of Heaven to Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai learned that he was named Taiwei and Yonghou, he was also overjoyed and said: "I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to value me so much, with the two edicts of light and darkness, I can crusade against the traitor in a bright and bright way." ”

Immediately, Wang Kai also thought about how to reward the ministers.

Besides, after Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong left Chang'an, they rushed to Wuguan non-stop, and then entered Nanyang County from Wuguan.

Subsequently, the two quickly rushed towards Xinye County.

When the two returned to Xinye, Liu Qi also summoned Kuai Liang and said to him: "Mr. Kuai, do you have anything to gain from going to Chang'an?" ”

"The eldest prince, the minister is fortunate to live up to his mission."

"Mr. Kuai, so Wang Zhenxi will send troops soon?"

"Definitely! Wang Zhenxi still needs a year to renovate. ”

"What?"

"Don't worry, the eldest prince, although Wang Zhenxi needs to be repaired for a year, he has promised that as long as the eldest prince is in danger, the soldiers and horses of Nanyang County will come to assist us."

Hearing this, Liu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, after all, he has now become a lost dog.

Kuai Liang also fell silent after seeing this.

In the end, Liu Qi also accepted this reality.

Turning to Jiangdong again, as Wang Kai and the Jingzhou army left Lujiang County, Sun Ce also sent troops to occupy Lujiang.

Since then, Sun Ce has also been in Lujiangwan County, preparing to attack Jiangxia Huangzu to avenge his father.

At this time, Xiahoudun in Runan also basically pacified the southern part of Runan.

Subsequently, Xiahoudun also sent someone to convey the news of Runan to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao of Xudu learned that Runan County had been pacified so quickly, he also wrote a letter to reward Xiahoudun.

At this time, Cao Cao also found out about the edict from some clues.

Immediately, Cao Cao quickly locked on Wu Shuo's figure and sent someone to arrest him in prison.

After Wu Shuo was taken into prison, Cao Cao also came to the prison secretly.

Wu Shuo was also shocked when he saw Cao Cao.

Besides, when Cao Cao saw the shock on Wu Shuo's face, he suddenly spoke: "Wu Shuo, I already know that you are Dong Cheng's person, let's say, what did you and Dong Cheng do behind my back." ”

"Prime Minister Cao, what are you talking about! I don't know! ”

"I still dare to be hard-mouthed!"

"Someone, punish me."

After hearing Cao Cao's order, a jailer immediately took a red-hot iron block and printed it on Wu Shuo's body.

Wu Shuo suddenly shouted in pain.

After the jailer removed the iron, Cao Cao asked again, "Can you say it now?" ”

"Prime Minister Cao, Xia Guan really doesn't know what you're talking about!"

"Excellent! It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. ”

"Someone, bring Wu Shuo's mother over for me."

Wu Shuo was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't know what Cao Cao planned to do next.

Soon, Wu Shuo's mother was escorted in front of Wu Shuo.

At this time, Cao Cao asked again: "Wu Shuo, in fact, I already know what you have done, I just need a proof, if you are obsessed, I will let your mother suffer for you." ”

After Wu Shuo saw his gray-haired old mother, his filial piety still outwitted his loyalty after all.

Immediately, Wu Shuo told the matter of the edict.

After listening to Wu Shuo's words, Cao Cao's heart was very angry, and he completely understood why the Son of Heaven cared so much about Wang Kai.

Immediately after, Cao Cao also left the prison.

After Cao Cao returned home, he immediately ordered Dian Wei and Xu Chu to arrest Dong Cheng, Chong Ji, Wang Zifu, and Wu Zilan.

At the same time, Cao Cao also immediately entered the palace to ask to see the Son of Heaven.

When Liu Xie, the son of heaven, learned that Cao Cao had come to meet him, he summoned Cao Cao with great confusion and said to him: "What is the reason why Prime Minister Cao Cheng came?" ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he had a black face and directly ordered Cao Chun to arrest Queen Fu.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xie was also stunned.

At this time, Cao Cao spoke: "Your Majesty, this woman and her father brutalized the important ministers of the court, and I want to ask her for the crime." ”

"Prime Minister Cao, but what misunderstanding is there? Empress Fu has always been by my side, how can she brutalize the important ministers of the court? ”

"Your Majesty, did you forget the edict?"

Hearing this, Empress Fu and Liu Xie were dumbfounded, they had no idea how Cao Cao knew about this.
