Xiahou Xuan is different from Cao Liang, he was not transferred back to Beijing, but returned to Beijing to report on his work, so his current position is still the general of Zhengxi and the governor of Yongliang.

is different from Cao Liang, Xiahou Xuan and Cao Shuang have a very close relationship, they are aunts and brothers, and they have been friends since childhood, while Cao Liang and Cao Shuang's relationship is relatively estranged.

Cao Shuang set up a banquet for Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan, who had returned to Beijing this time, obviously based on Xiahou Xuan, and the banquet for Cao Liang seemed to have a feeling of fishing and piggybacking on turtles, which made people a little unhappy no matter how you looked at it.

However, Cao Liang didn't care, there is not much difference between this kind of false name and not, now the situation in Luoyang is already turbulent, how to protect himself and even achieve counter-killing in this bloody storm is Cao Liang's most urgent matter, as for others, it is not in Cao Liang's consideration now.

Originally, Cao Liang still had some thoughts of assisting Cao Shuang, but now Cao Shuang's actions have completely chilled Cao Liang's heart, loyalty and treachery, foolishness and wisdom, such a stupid and mediocre person, immoral and incompetent, how to make people loyal to him.

Originally, when Cao Shuang first became a general, there were some honest and self-motivated, he also wanted to do a good job as an auxiliary minister, and he did everything himself, when Sima Yi defeated Wu in Huainan, the government and the opposition were slandered against his general for not knowing military affairs, and Cao Shuang also tried his best to plan the matter of cutting down Shu, in order to win a big victory to save his reputation and improve his prestige.

But it backfired, Cao Shuang was defeated in the battle of Hanzhong, it stands to reason that Cao Shuang at this time should be ashamed and brave, and strive to do a good job in the aftermath and try to save some prestige as much as possible.

But Cao Shuang was a broken jar, and after returning to Luoyang, he was completely degenerate, did not think about the government, did not accept loyalty, and used a group of people who were all traitors, who took advantage of the situation, sold their official positions, corrupted the law, and filled their pockets.

Among them, He Yan is the most rampant, although He Yangui is the emperor's prince, but he never recruits Cao Pi and Cao Rong to see, so when Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming were in the two dynasties, he could only obediently hold his tail and behave, despite this, He Yan was still hit hard in the ban on flashiness and was dismissed.

Until Cao Rong died, Cao Fang ascended the throne, Cao Shuang became an auxiliary minister, and He Yan became a new upstart in the DPRK and China by virtue of his good personal relationship with Cao Shuang.

Although He Yan is famous, he is debauched and uninhibited, and at this time he is in power, and he is even more reckless, forcibly occupying hundreds of hectares of mulberry fields and Tang Mu land in Luoyang and Yewang Diannong as his own property, and stealing official property for personal use, accepting bribes and soliciting bribes, and officials dare not resist the rebellion.

The other Cao Shuang's cronies, Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Bi Rail, and Li Sheng, are not good birds, they are greedy, jealous of the virtuous, robbed, extravagant and corrupt, and make the court and China a miasma, and the people complain.

If God wants to destroy it, it must make it crazy, Cao Shuang has gone farther and farther on the road of self-destruction, compared with these insatiable subordinates, Cao Shuang is a predator, the best fields near Luoyang have been swallowed by him, even the talented concubines of Emperor Ming, who wanted to be assigned to their hometowns, were secretly hidden in the mansion by Cao Shuang, indulging in lust and indulgence.

Moreover, the utensils used in Cao Shuang's mansion, the carriages and horses, and the specifications were the same as those of the Son of Heaven, so such an arrogant behavior naturally became a reason for Sima Yi to kill him in the future.

Although Sima Yi's crime when he killed him was just an excuse, even if there was no crime, he would have been given one, but Sima Yi had to save making it up, Cao Shuang did it himself, and he was to blame for his death.

Cao Liang is already cold to this "unsupportable Cao Adou", if he continues to step on Cao Shuang's thief ship and join them in the same stream, this is obviously not what Cao Liang wants, not to mention that this broken ship has leaked everywhere and is about to sink, and Cao Liang has no reason to give him a funeral.

Cao Liang returned to Beijing this time, and he had already made preparations for a decisive battle with the Sima family, of course, Cao Shuang was no longer within the scope of Cao Liang's consideration, and he wanted to rely on his own strength to fight to the death with the Sima family.

So for Cao Shuang's banquet, Cao Liang simply excused himself, saying that he occasionally felt a cold on the way back to Beijing, and now he is sick on the couch and cannot attend the banquet in the Marquis of Wu'an, and apologizes.

The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, Cao Liang is through this move, he wants to draw a line with Cao Shuang, anyway, Cao Shuang has no chance to jump for a few days, why do he need to go to the flames, but join in this excitement.

Besides, when he returned to Beijing this time, he was originally a frustrated, and the so-called reception banquet was just a foil, but any wise person would never ask for this suspicion.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

The Wu'an Hou Mansion is full of friends at the moment, a group of sycophants are praising Cao Shuang vigorously, Cao Shuang shook his fat head and big ears, and he listened very usefully, and there was no feeling of numbness at all.

"General, I have already sent someone to urge, and Cao Liang, the general of the auxiliary country, said that he occasionally suffered from the cold and was sick on the couch, so he couldn't come." A cronie reported to Cao Shuangyu in a low voice.

Cao Shuang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted heavily, "I don't know how to lift!" ”

Because Cao Shuang's voice was very loud, the guests who were originally whispering around were all shocked, and when they saw Cao Shuang's unkind face, they all looked a little flustered, and they didn't know what made Cao Shuang so unhappy.

Ding Mi immediately stepped forward and said, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone, please have fun, please feel free." ”

Only then did the guests return to normal, and Ding Mi said to Cao Shuang: "What made the general unhappy?" ”

Cao Shuang said unhappily: "The banquet of this general is a good thing that many people want to wear, but this Cao Liang is the only one who actually holds a grudge against this general, saying that he is sick and can't come, it's really hateful!" ”

Ding Mi realized that Cao Shuang was angry with Cao Liang, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh, you just took Cao Liang's military power, can people be happy? It's normal to say that you don't come back. Ding Mi smiled and said: "It's just an insignificant person, why should the general be angry, I just got the report, Xiahou Taichu has arrived in Luoyang, I believe it will come over soon, general, Xiahou Taichu is today's chief guest." ”

Ding Mi was reminding Cao Shuang that there was no need to be angry with someone like Cao Liang who had lost power, the general must have the prestige of a general, not to mention that the protagonist of today's banquet was Xiahou Xuan, and Cao Shuang should take the overall situation of the place first.

Cao Shuang bowed slightly, thinking that Ding Mi's words were reasonable.

At this moment, the doorman hurriedly stepped forward to report: "General Qiyu, General Zhengxi has arrived." The latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
