Chapter 431: Zen Rang
When he returned to the room, Wang Xiao saw Bai Lingyun holding a leg of mutton with both hands and gnawing wildly.
She really couldn't bear it, she was starved for a few days, not to mention, and she was tossed so badly. The inside of the stomach was already beating drums.
Wang Xiao's gaze fell on the two princesses beside her. Very watery indeed.
These two princesses are all from Liu Xie's concubines, and their status is actually not high.
Seeing Wang Xiao, they were all a little afraid.
After all, when he left the palace of life and came to the outside world, he saw a man who could control his own destiny, and of course he was terrified.
However, before they set off, they were all educated. Seeing Wang Xiao walk in, he went over and saluted timidly.
From now on, all fate is in the hands of the man in front of him.
Wang Xiao waved his hand to signal them to get up, his smile was gentle, and his temperament was as warm as jade.
"Don't be so nervous. It's the prince of Shanyang who is about to travel far away, and he is worried that life will be difficult on the other side of the fiefdom, so he entrusts you to my care. β
Wang Xiao's words were soft and his eyes were kind. The gentleman's style was full of joy, which made the nervous two princesses quietly let down their guard.
"If you can speak well, you can really deceive people."
Bai Lingyun, who was eating roast sheep over there, suddenly came to such a spicy remark.
The personable Wang Xiao's face froze, and then recovered.
His eyes swept over playfully, "Look at your appetite, it seems that I couldn't feed you yesterday." β
Bai Lingyun's pretty face turned white, as if she had thought of something bad. Suddenly turned sideways and vomited.
Wang Xiao, who had successfully retaliated, smiled, beckoned and took the two princesses who looked a little panicked to go to another room for dinner.
In the following days, Yang Xiu from Yecheng finally rushed over and freed Wang Xiao from the heavy official affairs.
Pang Tong left behind the convoy of people and materials responsible for carrying the Pingyuan Houfu, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive in Xudu.
At that time, Wang Xiao will accept the Zen concession of his second brother Cao Pi. After that, the capital was moved to Luoyang City.
Bai Lingyun learned that Cao Pi was not killed, and even the people in the mansion of the former Wuguan Zhonglang were dismissed instead of slaughtered. The attitude towards Wang Xiao is finally better.
However, Wang Xiao still interrogated her as always, and made her vomit several times when she was eating.
It wasn't until I finally got used to spitting and vomiting that I barely stopped being hungry.
As for Boss Cao, he has been stationed near Xudu, waiting to visit and watch the ceremony of adding Zen.
After that, Boss Cao will go to conquer Liangzhou and completely pacify the local forces over there.
The current state of Wei is very interesting, because the emperor is under house arrest, and the emperor's younger brother is ready to accept Chan concessions, but the emperor's Laozi still considers himself a Hanchen. But the Han dynasty has been abolished, and the Wei state seems to be divided into two parts.
However, everyone knows that Wang Xiao is still the son of Boss Cao. When Boss Cao kicks his legs, everything will still return to Wang Xiao's hands.
In terms of major events in the world, the Dongwu side is about to move, and it is estimated that it has the intention of going north to attack Jianghuai.
Uncle Liu Huang of Jingzhou accepted Yizhou's invitation and sent troops into Yizhou to help fight against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
But after a series of divine operations, Liu Bei changed from helping to directly seizing the territory of the same sect.
However, such a direct and blatant attempt to seize the territory is considered a righteous act. Compared with the world's verbal criticism of Cao Cao, it is simply a double standard.
"Liu Xuande entered Sichuan, this is a good time to go south to retake Jingzhou."
In the mansion of the general with five senses, Yang Xiu, who worked tirelessly until the early hours of the morning, picked up the wine bowl in his hand and signaled to Wang Xiao, "The prince can ask the prime minister to go south." β
glanced at Bai Lingyun, who was kneeling beside him and serving, seeing that she didn't react, Wang Xiao's eyes narrowed.
Bai Lingyun, who was reluctant, stepped forward and moved two steps to pour wine for Wang Xiao.
"Dezu, the grassland thieves in the north are ready to move. To the east, Sun Wu was gathering troops and horses. In the west, Ma Chao and others in Guanzhong are still thieves and are regaining their strength. β
Wang Xiao took a sip of the wine bowl, "Jingzhou is no longer the Jingzhou it used to be." β
The last time Jingzhou was able to go so smoothly, it was because Liu Biao died suddenly, and there was chaos under the leaderless dragons, and finally surrendered.
But now, even if Liu Bei went to Xichuan, he still left the general Guan Yu and the military advisor Zhuge Liang to guard his fundamental place.
In terms of their ability, there was no problem in resisting layer by layer, retreating step by step, dragging Cao's army to Jiangling.
Once the main force of the Cao army is dragged to Jingzhou, Sun Quan in the east and Ma Chao in the west will definitely not sit idly by.
When the time comes, all localities will work together, and that will be the end of fires on all sides.
Without waiting for Yang Xiu, who was slightly embarrassed, to say anything, Wang Xiao continued to explain.
"And what else is there to fight in Jingzhou now? The population from the north had already been brought back to the Central Plains before. The counties in the south can't cross the river and can't touch it. There is no point at all except to occupy territory. β
Boss Cao fights and has a well-known habit. That is, everywhere you go, as long as you feel that you can't beat it down or can't stand it, it will move all the people away. Leave only a blank field for the opponent.
In the late Han Dynasty, when the population was extremely scarce, there was no point in occupying a large territory without a sufficient number of people.
Yang Xiu modestly asked Wang Xiao for advice, "Dare to ask Gongzi, where should I fight?" β
"Now is not the time for a strategic offensive." Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "Sun and Liu join forces, and they need to face attacks from multiple sides at the same time. Now it's on the defensive for the time being. Wait until they repel their offensive, and wait until Sun Liu turns his face to really fight back. "Yang Xiu is talented, and his cleverness is unparalleled in the world.
It's a pity that the military strategy is very ordinary, and Wang Xiao's explanation is only a rough one.
He was puzzled by Wang Xiao's strategy of advocating temporary defense: "We are strong, do we have to wait for others to attack?" β
"No matter how strong the strength is, it cannot fall into the situation of multi-front combat. The best option is to grab one and fight, and the other side is mainly to pacify. β
Stronger than the Hans, fighting on two fronts is still a repaired life and cannot take care of itself. Wang Xiao will not be so big as to think that the two sides can fight together.
Not to mention anything else, at least until the naval army really becomes a force that can confront the naval division of Eastern Wu, it is necessary to use a defensive strategy against Eastern Wu.
But as long as the navy can be defeated, then Soochow will be finished. Because their land combat capabilities are super bad.
Now that Dongwu has gathered troops and horses to prepare to attack Xiaoyaojin, Wang Xiao estimates that they will soon be educated by Zhang Wenyuan to be people.
Yang Xiu helped with official business, and Wang Xiao had time to teach and interrogate female assassins all day long.
The process was brutal and cannot be described in detail. Anyway, looking at the water in the corner of Bai Lingyun's eyes, he knew that he had been taught a miserable lesson.
Yecheng's brigade finally came.
There is no way to delay it for so long, there are too many people and most of them are old and weak women and children. They can't go as fast as they march.
Wang Xiao greeted Zhen Mi and them at the city gate. first hugged Cao Rong, followed by a carriage and sat between Zhen Mi and Guo Zhao.
"Thank you, husband."
Guo Zhao didn't know the inside story of this incident, she only knew that her brother-in-law Sima Yi was involved in Cao Pi's rebellion. But in the end, he was miraculously not punished. Just take all this as Wang Xiao's credit.
"This is not a good thing again." Wang Xiao also took the opportunity to give Guo Zhao an injection, which was a preventive injection, "If there is such a thing again, then don't blame me for being ruthless." β
Guo Zhao nodded again and again, holding Wang Xiao's arm and rubbing, "Don't worry, husband, I will talk to my sister." They will definitely do things for their husbands loyally in the future. β
"I hope so."
Wang Xiao coped with it on his lips, but in his heart he was thinking about how to send Sima Yi to death.
When I returned to the mansion, I saw Bai Lingyun and the two Han princesses without accident.
Of course, Wang Xiao would not say that Bai Lingyun was an assassin, in that case she would definitely be kicked out. He only said that Bai Lingyun was a person from Cao Pi's mansion, and he was responsible for taking care of his own life these days.
As for the princess of the Han family, it is even simpler, Wang Xiao said in a righteous manner that he was taking care of the prince of Shanyang County.
Zhen Mi would never believe this kind of words.
Even Guo Zhao, after all these years of Wang Xiao's tempering, is no longer the naΓ―ve and brilliant he used to be.
After carefully observing Bai Lingyun, who had a spring in his eyes, he knew that Wang Xiao was fooling.
But this kind of thing is normal in this day and age.
Even, Wang Xiao belongs to the alternative kind.
Because other people's families are full of wives and concubines, just like Prime Minister Cao Cheng has as many as twenty or thirty sons alone. The number of Mrs. Side Chambers, it is estimated that he himself does not know.
Wang Xiao is only Guo Zhao next to him, except for Zhen Mi. In terms of his identity, just guarding the two of them is already jaw-dropping.
Therefore, Zhen Mi and Guo Zhao treated Bai Lingyun very warmly, and also ordered someone to take care of the two princesses.
Of course, if they knew that Bai Lingyun had tried to assassinate Wang Xiao, it was probably not enthusiasm but a random beating to death.
In the evening, Zhen Mi handed Cao Ei over to Guo Zhao to take care of. He took the initiative to serve Wang Xiao.
She and Wang Xiao haven't seen each other for a while, and they miss it very much.
With Zhen Mi serving Wang Xiao carefully, Bai Lingyun finally no longer has to be interrogated.
But when she was alone in the dead of night, she couldn't sleep over and over. There was a faint feeling in my heart about the days when I was interrogated alone.
Now that everyone is here, things can officially begin.
Cao Pi, who had not shown his face for a while, officially ceded the throne to Wang Xiao at a ceremony attended by countless people.
As one of the spectators, Liu Xie, the son of the Han family, was not angry when he saw this scene, but secretly laughed.
Cao Zihuan, you bastard snatched my throne, and now you can't keep it yourself, and you have to give it to Wang Xiao. Deserve!
After the complicated procedures were completed, Wang Xiao canonized Zhen Mi as the queen, and this time the matter finally came to an end.
But just a few days later, a shocking piece of news came from far east.
Jiangdong Sun Quan personally led an army of 100,000 to cross the river and go north to attack Xiaoyaojin!
