With Zang Ba, Lu Qian and other generals successively sent troops to reinforce the defense of Guangling, the Qingxu prefectures and counties were extremely empty, but the Han general Lu Xun and the deputy general Ding Feng were led by Guan Ping as early as a month ago, and drove straight into the coast with more than 10,000 navies, and landed in Chengshan Port in Donglai County unknowingly.

The Han navy marched all the way along the hinterland of Qingzhou, and in a short period of time Donglai, Beihai and other counties fell, and then, Lu Xun organized his troops to quickly conquer Langxi County and Donghai County, and quickly attacked Xiapi County, intending to cooperate with the main force of the Han army in Guanping.

All of a sudden, the Han army swept through the Qingxu Prefectures.

……

This news suddenly hammered into the hearts of the people of Wei like a hammer.

The fall of Qingxu has marked the Huai River defense line has become a thing of the past.

And after receiving the news of Lu Xun's success, the Han general Guan Ping immediately launched a full-scale attack, and no matter how powerful the offensive, the Wei army was attacked with Qingxu, and the unstable rear led to the instability of the army's heart, and then retreated in defeat after defeat.

After all, most of the Wei soldiers who participated in the war on the front line of Huainan were people from Qingxu Erzhou and the Central Plains, and their families were in the rear, and now that the hinterland was in danger, how could they burst out with strong combat power?

For a time, the Han army successively conquered important towns such as Wankou and Weixuwu, and the troops pointed directly at Hefei, Lujiang and other places.

On the other hand, due to the front and back attacks of Guan Ping's department and Lu Xun's department, the loss of Guangling was a foregone conclusion.

At this point, the great Sima Cao Xiu had to order the generals to shrink the defensive line to Shouchun and Runan, and rely on Xu Du to recruit sergeants again with the intention of fighting to the death with the Han army.

Merely.

That's when something even worse happened.

Because Guan Ping had twice sent troops to the front line of Bishui, Xudu, and Runan, and vigorously attacked the powerful in the local area, divided the land, and liberated the tenants, and other measures to accumulate popular popularity, and with Cao Wei's policy of maintaining the strong and powerful in the past few years, he has fallen behind in the competition for the hearts and minds of the people.

Over the past few years, Guan Ping has often secretly sent secret guards to infiltrate various counties and counties to incite the people to raise troops, which has already made Cao Wei all over the country chaotic and out of control!

But what followed was the Wei army's endless counterinsurgency and massacre of the city.

The people of Huainan, Yuzhou and other counties have already formed a blood feud with Wei.

Now, with the Han army attacking the hinterland of Huainan, Cao Wei's rebels rose again and rebelled one after another, and they revolted to break through the county town in response to the attack of the Han army.

Suddenly, Cao Wei had a strong enemy outside and changes inside, and the distribution of troops was already stretched.

The great Sima Cao Xiu was also very busy, on the one hand, he had to build a defense line against the Han army, and on the other hand, he also had to guard against the rebels in the hinterland.

Luoyang.

The news of the changes in the Central Plains, Qingxu and other places has spread throughout the city, and the people of the city, who were already demoralized, are even more mired in the haze of war at this moment. ”

"Dahan is going to usher in the third ZTE?"

Everyone fell into self-doubt, but it was really the combat power of the Han army that became stronger and stronger, and it was more realistic as if the destiny of heaven had returned.

Palace.

When Cao Rong, the Son of Heaven, sat in the Ming Hall, reading the battle report sent back by Cao Xiu, his face also changed slightly unconsciously, and he couldn't help but feel the urgency of the war on the front line in the southeast when he saw the request between the lines.

After looking at it, Cao Rong forcibly forced himself to calm down, and then faced the generals and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, I think you and others have heard about the war in the southeast now, but I don't know who is willing to send an army to help Da Sima resist the strong enemy and protect my territory of Da Wei?" ”

A seat shouted, and the stairs were suddenly silent, and no one took the order!

All the ministers knew that the enemy's main general was Guan Ping, and they all unconsciously showed fear in their hearts, who would dare to accept the order in danger?

When Dawei fell into such a critical moment, but when he saw that no one stood up, Cao Rong, the Son of Heaven, stood up, his fists clenched, his green muscles burst out, and he said gloomily: "Could it be that at this time of crisis, my Dawei doesn't even have anyone to defend against foreign enemies?" ”

A roar, but a little bit of desolation.

He didn't expect that he was sitting on half of the country, but in the end, he couldn't even find a general who dared to fight.

He was a little chilled and a little reminiscent of the past.

"Back then, when my grandfather and father were in power, there were so many talents under my command, and now I don't even have anyone to resist the weak Shu."

For a while, Cao Rong couldn't help but think of the total scene in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he felt.

In fact, there are too many generals who have withered in the Wei State in the past few years, but the second generation of foreign generals has not grown up to be able to take charge on their own.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang died of illness, and even the general Cao Ren died after being severely injured in the battle of Jingxiang!

Even Cao Ren was defeated by Guan Ping with heavy troops, who dared to touch the edge?

"Bang!"

In the next second, Cao Rong stepped on the door and left angrily.

The ministers remained unmoved, and then dispersed.

From this moment on, all the ministers had a way out in their hearts, thinking about whether Great Wei was still worthy of allegiance?

When everyone left, Chen Quncai, the auxiliary minister on one side, quietly followed and chased in the direction where the Son of Heaven Cao Rong left.

The Imperial Study.

As soon as the Son of Heaven Cao Rong sat down, he was angry when he thought of the scene in the court, and in an instant, he knocked down the various pieces on the imperial case and sprinkled them all over the ground.

Just when he had nowhere to vent, suddenly the eunuch hurriedly entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty." Chen Shangshu asked to see him, and he said that there were suitable candidates to lead the army for reinforcements, and he would definitely be able to compete with the Han general Guan Ping, and even ...... The counterattack against the Jingzhou army is still unknown! ”

Hearing that Chen Qun seemed to have a countermeasure, Cao Ei's words that he wanted to say bluntly suddenly stopped, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Xuan! ”

When the eunuch left, his face turned from sorrow to joy, revealing a hint of expectation.

He wanted to see who Chen Qun wanted to promote?

While anxiously waiting, Chen Qun slowly entered under the guidance of the eunuch, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Chen Qing is exempt." After that, Cao Rong waved his hand to signal Chen Qun to sit down, and then hurriedly asked: "I heard that Qing has a suitable candidate for reinforcements, I don't know who to push?" ”

Looking at the impatience and expectation on the face of the Son of Heaven, Chen Qun did not slack off, but solemnly replied: "The minister elected His Majesty's own uncle to be the king of the city. ”

"Chen Qun, what do you mean?"

It's just that Cao Rong, who was still looking forward to it, heard this, and immediately became angry, and then glared at Chen Qun and shouted angrily.

Who is King Ren Cheng?

It was Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, who was majestic and famous.

Since Cao Cao, the king of Wei, died of illness and Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he secretly demoted Cao Zhang as the king of Rencheng, and was imprisoned in the capital Luoyang, prohibiting his personal freedom, so as not to threaten himself.

And Cao Zhang has been imprisoned for seven years now.

If he was hostile and suddenly entered Beijing to compete for the throne after taking military power, wouldn't he be self-inflicted?

Cao Rong didn't dare to bet at all.

Because, Cao Zhang once had absolute military prestige in the army, although he has been imprisoned for several years now, it is difficult to guarantee that he cannot call on the old department again.

Therefore, Cao Rong was even more indignant at the moment.

Looking at the anger on Cao Ei's face, Chen Qun instantly got up and knelt down and arched his hand: "Your Majesty." Now the Shu army is attacking again and again, sweeping through the two states of Qingxu, if you can't quell the rebellion south of Xudu in a short time, and then stop the offensive of the Shu army, then our army will be in a dangerous situation! ”

"The king of Rencheng has been in battle for a long time, and his ability to control is not inferior to that of the great general and the great Sima, if it can be activated, then the rebellion of the four sides can be quelled!"

Speaking of this, Chen Qun glanced at the anger on his face and eased slightly, so he continued to explain: "And the king of Rencheng is worried about the situation of Great Wei, and now that Great Wei is in a stormy situation, how can he not enter Beijing to rebel because of the overall situation, isn't this move a defeat of the foundation that the previous king has taken away with his painstaking efforts?" ”

"The minister guarantees that King Ren Cheng will definitely focus on the overall situation, and please don't worry about Your Majesty!"

For a while, in order to convince Cao Ei, Chen Qun asked solemnly.

"You should retreat first, let me think about this matter."

Although he has been slightly persuaded in his heart now, the matter is too important for him to be cautious.

"The minister retired."

Chen Qun received the order and slowly retreated from the imperial study.

……

In a lonely courtyard in the north of the palace city, a middle-aged man dressed in vigorous clothing at this time was close to his forties.

The figure is majestic, and the body of nearly eight feet is holding a war knife and practicing martial arts on the martial arts field.

After waving his sword for a while, he couldn't help but stop, looking at the palace city outside the bricks, his eyes were full of sadness, and he muttered: "Could it be that being imprisoned and dying here is the fate of my Cao Zhang in the second half of his life?" ”

"What is the current fortune of Great Wei?"
