Chapter 253: The Three Parties Pacified

Sun Quan admitted defeat, and in less than half a month after Jiangdong's victory, Jiangdong directly chose to admit defeat.

This scene stunned everyone, and each of them reacted differently.

The Jiangdong army camp at the entrance of the cave.

"The king wants to send an envoy to sue for peace, this is all the general's fault, he failed to gain insight into Cao Jun's conspiracy in time, so that the lord had to send a messenger in Wuchang to ask Cao Jun for help, this general is guilty!"

Lu Fan was one of the commanders of the three routes who resisted Cao's army the most, the commander of the Dongkou army, and his mood at this time was to blame.

The Jiangdong naval army at the entrance of the cave was lost, and the warships were sent out, and then Zang Ba directly attacked Xuling with tens of thousands of dead soldiers, and thousands of Jiangdong soldiers were killed by him.

In the later period, if it weren't for He Qi and others coming with reinforcements, and Cao Pi ordering Cao Xiu's army not to cross the river, I am afraid that there would be no camp at the entrance of the cave now.

As for the waterway, Cao Jun almost couldn't get out of the house, and in the end, it was people from other battlefields and even Jiangxia that allowed Lu Fan to stabilize the situation, so there was nothing to say about the battle at the entrance of the cave and the defeat of Jiangdong.

Lu Fan's self-blame and confession made many Jiangdong soldiers and generals not know what it was like, and at the same time, they also greatly relieved those generals.

This time the entrance of the cave was defeated, and there were many problems in their Jiangdong County, and Sun Lang, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, was definitely the most excessive person, and a fire not only burned the Maomang Wild Grassland, but also lit the Jiangdong Water Village.

The most important thing is that this gave Cao Jun an opportunity to send their warships away.

But no matter what Sun Lang says, he is also the son of the old lord Sun Jian, and the current King of Wu Sun Quan is called a brother, even if he has a big mistake, it is difficult for this group of people to really kill him, and now Sun Quan has ordered him to escort him to Wuchang.

This order has been made clear, this thing must be punished, and this thing must definitely not die.

But Sun Lang does not bear this heavy punishment, then the rest is to find some people to come out and take this responsibility, if it is before the change, everyone discusses, maybe you can also find some generals with great merit, give them enough benefits, and then resist this matter.

But in the entire cave battle, except for Xu Sheng and Quan Zong, who barely had some credit, no one had any credit.

We must not let the two meritorious men be punished.

Now that Lu Fan has directly carried everything down, everyone is relieved, what they are most afraid of is that the master will be afraid of receiving punishment, and then throw all the problems and responsibilities to the generals below.

"The general can't do that!" Since you don't have to worry about receiving punishment and taking responsibility, it is still very important to say a few kind words.

"Okay, don't wait any longer!" Lu Fan shook his head with a disheartened look, "You and others are all the leaders of my younger generation in Jiangdong, you must remember, everything that happened before must be remembered, how much humiliation Cao Xiu brought to you, how much you will have to return in the future."

You are the future of my Jiangdong, you young people, not only can't you be ashamed of your father and brother, but you can't lose to those young people of the Cao family, understand! ”

"No!" Many young Jiangdong generals agreed in unison.

Looking at the army that slowly recovered its morale and spirit, Lu Fan showed a smile on his face, he and Zhu Zhi are both old ministers of Jiangdong, but Zhu Zhi is an old minister of the three dynasties in Jiangdong, and he has followed the Sun family since Sun Jian's time, and he is not much different, he has been by Jiangdong's side since the early days of Sun Ce.

It can be said that the two of them, plus Han Dang, who is now stationed in the south of Nanjun, the three of them should be the only people left in Jiangdong who have watched the rise of the Sun family from beginning to end.

It's almost time for them to retire from these old things, after all, the future is still for them young people from Jiangdong, an old guy like him, if he can give these young people more opportunities, he will carry all the charges and infamy, it doesn't matter.

Compared with the Jiangdong camp at the entrance of the cave, the Jiangdong camp in Gangneung, Nanjun County, is not much better at this time.

"The lord is ready to send an envoy to sue for peace, the envoy has already left, and he will arrive in Nanjun in a few days, and then go through Xiangyang and go to Fancheng to reach Wancheng, I won't have any more problems during this time!"

At this time, Zhu Ran had done the middle and top of the generals openly, and none of the people below Pan Zhang, Zhuge Jin, Yan Gui, Han Dang and others dared to have an opinion.

Unlike the Dongkou camp, it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be won or lost on the battlefield of Jiangling this time, but what does not make sense is that Zhu Ran finally subdued many Jiangdong generals with the help of this big victory (big defeat).

One of the main reasons why everyone has been unable to fight against Cao Jun before is that no one is subordinate to each other, and they are fighting separately for a while, which makes Cao Zhen in Cao Jun directly caught off guard.

Others don't say it, that is, Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin can't control each other.

At that time, LΓΌ Meng was regarded as a nameless governor of Jiangdong, so no one dared to challenge his majesty.

But Lu Meng died early, just after the defeat, the entire Nanjun did not live a stable life for two months, and died in Jingzhou, and then at this time, someone in the Nanjun County must be stationed.

Zhu Ran, one of Sun Quan's descendants, as a general in Jiangdong and LΓΌ Meng's deputy general, became the position of Jiangling guard.

But he didn't have time to be happy for long, Zhuge Jin also came, Nanjun Taishou was a position, and he had more power than Zhu Ran, which made him very embarrassed.

Although Sun Quan avoided conflicts between the two people, and gave a special award to Zhuge Jin to the public security to guard against those unspeakable enemies, but there are two generals in a southern county who are not subordinate to each other, which is very unappreciable.

In addition, Sun Sheng of the Sun family who appeared later, Sun Huan who was building Hengjiang Dock, Jiangdong General, and Pan Zhang, who killed Guan Yu with Zhu Ran, which one of these people can convince which one.

Although Cao Zhen won a lot in Nanjun this time, he killed one general and two partial generals in Jiangdong in one go, and killed countless enemies, but it allowed Zhu Ran to completely establish his status in Nanjun.

Whether it is now or in the future, as long as he Zhu Ran is still in Jingzhou and Nanjun, then no one can be presumptuous to him here, and everyone must obey his orders.

At this time, after Zhu Ran said this order from the main position, although many generals and colonels were a little unwilling, the most damaged people in the three-way army did not go down to the battlefield at the entrance of the cave, and they really didn't have the face to say anything.

Zhu Ran saw that the generals finally stopped objecting, so he nodded silently.

Although he didn't want to admit his mistake and surrender so aggrieved, he knew that there might be a chance to fight on other battlefields, but he really didn't have any ability to fight here.

Although the entrance of the cave has lost the naval army, if Jiangdong digs out the old bottom, they may not be able to fight with the Cao army, and Cao Pi has always been a technique to avoid war on the battlefield at the entrance of the cave, so although the entrance of the cave is also a big loss, but it still has the ability to resist.

As for Zhu Huan's Wet Whisker Mouth, it was a direct victory over Cao Jun, except for Zhu Huan's own two fires that burned the Wet Whisker City, there was no other problem, this should be the only soldier who still has the ability to continue to pursue Cao Jun.

As for the flank of Jiangxia, Wen Ping as a flank, he completed his task perfectly, Wen Ping led an army to don't settle in the mouth, and in the end only one fell to the enemy, as an attacker, and Sun Quan fought an undefeated and undefeated battle, very good.

However, as Zhu Ran, who was guarding Jiangling City, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers left, and the epidemic in the city was completely uncontrollable, and Sun Sheng's army was completely killed by Cao Zhen.

Zhuge Jin's land and water army was directly attacked by Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang, and life is better than death, which is what described Zhuge Jin at the beginning.

Yan Gui and Zhuge Jin raided Bailizhou and returned again with a big defeat, even more of a losing army.

Zhang He seized the Zhongzhou Wubao and killed Jiang Yi, the son of Jiang Qin, in a battle, and the elite soldiers of Jiujiang disappeared into the history of Jiangdong.

Governor of Niuzhu, Jianwu General Sun Huan has also received news that Sun Huanei Cao Zhen was killed, Hengjiang Wubao was breached, and the garrison of Niuzhu City was also breached, and none of the Jiangdong soldiers who were stationed inside survived.

At present, there are only two and a half generals who can basically maintain the structure of the entire Nanjun, and the two are Han Dang, who is stationed in the south of the Nanjun, who has been working hard and has not participated in any wars.

As for the other is the Jiangdong general Pan Zhang, who burned down the Bailizhou pontoon bridge, he very cleverly chose the gecko to cut off the tail, directly preserving his main army, and allowing the Jiangdong soldiers under his command to maintain the most primitive combat effectiveness.

As for the half, it was under Yan Gui's command, although he lost consecutive battles, but Yan Gui couldn't help running fast.

Just because they were able to keep Nanjun under the eyes of Cao Jun, it was already a thousand thanks, and now Zhu Ran already had a feeling that if this continued, there was only one thing he could do, and that was to invite Mr. Buqibu, who was cleaning up the rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan.

A big battle has achieved this virtue, and now every time he hears the Jiangdong soldiers cheering him up again, saying that he is threatening the enemy country, he feels a little panicked on his face.

He won the battle before, and he felt really good when he drove away Xiahou Shang, but now it is different, he already knows that when he fought with Xiahou Shang, he was really just fighting with Xiahou Shang, a yellow-haired boy, and Cao Zhen, the commander of the Western Route Army of the Cao Army, was not there at all.

Zhu Ran looked at the many generals under his command at this time, and saw that they didn't speak for a long time, so he directly gave an order.

"Since you and the others have no opinions, then from now on, strictly guard, no one can provoke outside the city, and the safety of the messenger must be guaranteed!"

"No!"

Seeing that the generals responded to their promises, Zhu Ran's heart also became very believable.

At this time, the last battlefield of the three-way army to conquer Jiangdong, the city of Susu in the middle battlefield, Zhu Huan was cursing.

"General Ben is about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter the Central Plains, and you actually told General Ben that the king sent an envoy to sue for peace?" Zhu Huan overturned the table in front of him, "You must have gotten some slander in front of the king and coaxed the king!" ”

The messenger looked at Zhu Huan's eyes that were slowly turning red, and the look of wanting to kill himself, he knew that this guy was really not joking this time, he seemed to be really angry.

But fear is fear, he must stop this irascible general now, if it is because he has ruined the big things in Jiangdong, I am afraid that Sun Quan will kill him.

"The general is angry, the general is angry!" The messenger in charge of the order worked hard to accompany the smiling face, "The general's great achievements, the king already knows, and the king also knows the general's efforts for Jiangdong, in order to reward the general, the king specially named the general you as the Marquis of Jiaxing, and at the same time appointed you as the general of Fenwu, leading Peng Chengxiang." ”

Of course, Sun Quan will not have any stinginess towards his own hair small, who is this hair small, it is a big person.

Among the three armies of Cao Jun's conquest of Jiangdong, he was the only one who achieved victory, which was the symbol of Jiangdong, and the reward was not ungenerous.

It's just that such a heavy reward, this general named Zhu Huan doesn't like it.

"This general is the general of Jiangdong, killing the enemy and defeating the enemy is a matter of duty, what reward do you need!" Zhu Huan snorted coldly directly at the envoy, and then continued to resume the topic, "General Ben just wants to know that my Jiangdong army is so smooth, why do you still send an envoy to sue for peace!"

Even if the two sides want to strike the army, it should be his Cao clan to negotiate with us, where can I Jiangdong take the initiative to back down, then let me wait so hard to fight, what has become of it! ”

What Zhu Huan can't stand the most is this, he is a general in Jiangdong, and in his opinion, the situation in Jiangdong is very good now.

He defeated Cao Tai in Wet Beard City, killed Chang Diao and Zhuge Qian in Zhongzhou, captured Wang Shuang alive, and killed countless Cao troops.

Although the entrance of the cave suffered a big defeat, but as soon as the reinforcements of He Qi arrived, they were able to control the situation, and Cao Xiu's troops were many generals but no one was available, and no one believed in it.

The battlefield of Jiangling was the most miserable, Jiangdong was killed many soldiers in Jiangling, but Zhu Ran held Jiangling City, Pan Zhang recaptured Hanshui, and then wanted to return to Zhongzhou Wubao, at this time Jiangling reinforcements have arrived, naturally not afraid of Cao's army.

In this case, the Cao army was tired from afar, so naturally they should have taken the initiative to retreat, and then let them Jiangdong ask for money, money, and food, and even directly let their king ascend the throne and claim the emperor.

Why did you fight for a long time in the end, but you lost on your side, and took the initiative to send a messenger to ask for peace, and actually used the word peace!

Looking at the angry Zhu Huan, the envoy had no choice, and finally could only grit his teeth and say, "General Zhu Huan is angry, the king is not willing to do this, but the Cao army is cunning, if he doesn't seek peace, I'm afraid Jiangdong will no longer exist!" ”

"Nonsense!" Zhu Ran slapped the table suddenly, "I am an outstanding person in Jiangdong, the terrain is dangerous, and the Yangtze River is dangerous, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"General, that Cao Zhen is not in Jiangling City!" The envoy directly snorted, "He took advantage of General Zhu Ran's defense of Jiangling, and directly turned a small road from the waterway to Ma'anshan, and then directly broke through the Hengjiang Dock Fort built by General Sun Huan not long ago.

At this time, Cao Zhen had already broken through the Hengjiang Dock Fort and killed General Sun Huan, and what was even more excessive was that he also broke through the Niuzhu Tun Soldier in charge of General Sun Huan, and killed countless heroes in Jiangdong. ”

After the messenger finished speaking, he felt even more pain in his heart, and then continued to talk to Zhu Huan.

"The most odious thing is that after Cao Zhen laid down the Hengjiang Wubao again, he directly sent an envoy to contact Liu Xuande in Jiangzhou White Emperor City, at this time Liao Yuanjian had already reorganized his army for war, and he could send troops to Jingzhou at any time, and the naval army under Huang Quan had also reorganized his army.

All of a sudden, my Jiangdong is about to be attacked on both sides, and the king is in danger! ”

After saying so much in one breath, the messenger stopped his words, and an uncomfortable expression appeared on his face.

After Zhu Huan listened, the angry look on his face slowly receded, and was replaced by endless pity.

He was upset, but he didn't know who to blame, he now felt like an invincible general, and then when he was winning, he suddenly heard the feeling that the rear had been beaten to the doorstep, and finally had no choice but to surrender.

"It's... Is.... Ay! "Zhu Huan really wanted to say that they were all a bunch of waste, so after thinking about it, forget it.

Although he has not fought side by side with Sun Huan, he has heard the name of Zhu Huan, when he was stationed in Yiling Road, he took 5,000 soldiers to block the attack of the vanguard army of Shu Han for about half a year, so that Shu Han Liu Xuande's plan to attack Jiangdong completely failed, Sun Huan is the number one hero!

Such a brave person should have been the best candidate to garrison Niu Zhu, but unfortunately he died there by himself, and he had already reached such a point, what could he Zhu Huan say.

Seeing that Zhu Huan was finally no longer angry, the envoy couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, what he was most afraid of was Zhu Huan's impulsiveness.

At this time, Cao Jun's middle army was led by Jiang Ji, Cao Ren was newly mourned, where did Cao Jun dare to go out casually, and Zhu Huan of Jiangdong would already be very good if he didn't take the initiative to provoke them.

Therefore, what the envoy hopes most is that General Zhu Huan, who has just won a big victory, must not be impulsive.

Jiangdong's reaction here is different, but Cao Jun's reaction is somewhat the same.

The Cao army camp at the entrance of the cave, when Cao Xiu heard that Jiangdong was ready to send an envoy to sue for peace, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, when Jiangdong's naval army was transferred to part of the Dongkou battlefield again, the offensive of the Cao army was much weaker.

I have to say that although the two sides have been fighting each other for many years, there is no doubt that their Cao army is really inferior to the Jiangdong army in this method of water warfare.

Even if the current warships in Jiangdong are old-fashioned warships, and the soldiers are temporarily transferred, but Jiangdong is Jiangdong, and such a poor naval army can still contain the offensive of Cao's army.

After falling into the quagmire of war, the Cao army was not only hopeless to attack at this time, but also the easiest way to control the army under his command, and Cao Xiu, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, was a little unstable.

I don't know if it's because of the hot weather, or because of Cao Ren's willingness to die, or because of some things before, Zhang Liao, a person like a needle in the sea, finally can't bear it at this time.

Without Zhang Liao's help to him, many people are a little bad for him as a young coach.

Among them, the two most obvious are Zang Ba, the governor of Qingxu, and Jia Kui, the assassin of Yuzhou.

Among them, Qingxu Dadu Governor Zang Ba is still excusable, after all, whether it is seniority or age, he has suppressed Cao Xiu more than a step, and the most important thing is that he was so miserable by Cao Xiu before, although Zhang Liao pressed him not to be presumptuous, but this does not mean that he has no resentment in his heart.

He died so many soldiers who were loyal to him under his command, and it was his henchman Yin Lu who died outside the camp at the entrance of the cave, just because of Cao Xiu's persecution, he really wanted to thank Cao Xiu for giving him such a good opportunity to make a name for himself, but he Zang Ba is over sixty years old, and the soil is buried to his neck, he doesn't need to be famous!

So Zang Ba and Cao Xiu don't look at each other and look down on each other, it's just excusable, too excusable.

But Jia Kui, the assassin of Yuzhou, is now working against Cao Xiu, which makes everyone a little confused, especially Wang Ling, the assassin of Yanzhou, who has a good relationship with Jia Kui, asked him more than once why this is, but Jia Kui has never said it.

At this time, Cao Xiu finally waited for the armistice documents, which means that he finally didn't have to struggle, and the rest only needed to sort out the army, and then wait for Cao Pi to arrive, or announce the withdrawal of the army.

There's nothing else to pay attention to, at least that's what he thinks.

At this time, in the camp of the Cao army at the entrance of the cave, many generals and colonels already knew that Jiangdong was going to send an envoy to sue for peace, although everyone still didn't know what was going on, forcing Jiangdong to do this, but the other party took the lead in sending an envoy to sue for peace, which was a good thing for them.

At this time, in the camp at the entrance of Cao Jun's cave and Zhang Liao's camp, several generals were reporting to him all the things big and small today.

Since Zhang Liao was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, Cao Xiu no longer dared to let him work hard, and directly let Zhang Liao recuperate in the camp, and leave the rest to them.

Every day, there is a special person like him to tell him, and there is no concealment of anything, and Zhang Liao can only help Cao Xiu stabilize the morale of the army through this kind of thing.

At this time, Cao Jun's general was saying that Sun Quan had ordered an envoy to sue for peace, and the armies of both sides did not need to fight, and everyone could finally go home.

Looking at the smiling general, Zhang Liao also showed a smile, "Aren't you happy to hear that you don't have to fight anymore?" ”

The generals were also scratching their heads in embarrassment at this time, their faces were full of embarrassment, they were all old men of Cao Jun, and they had been following Zhang Liao for many years, and they didn't have so many rules in front of him, and they all laughed embarrassedly when they heard Zhang Liao's question at this time.

"The villain's mother-in-law in my hometown has just given birth, and I haven't seen my son yet, so... Some homesickness! A school captain said honestly, there is no problem with them saying this in front of Zhang Liao, they are just chatting casually, besides, when is homesick and embarrassed, this is what Zhang Liao said.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but congratulate when he heard this, and then sat up hard, and then asked Zhang Hu, who was waiting beside him, to wrap up some money for the captain who had just become his father, as a celebration for him.

Holding the celebration in his hand, the captain couldn't help but be a little moved, his own general never said anything, he did things silently to move his people.

"Thank you, General!" When the lieutenant spoke, he was already a little choked, and it could be seen that he was really moved.

"Thank you, you deserve it!" Zhang Liao said with a chuckle, and then waved his hand to let their group of generals who reported to them all withdraw.

After they have all left, there are some questions that cannot be asked of them, and you can also ask your son at this time.

"The relationship between Liang Dao and General Cao Xiu at this time.... Is it still that bad? Zhang Liao is not unaware of these intricate relationships in Cao Ying.

It's just that even if he knows, there are some things that he can't get too involved in, after all, he doesn't know what the reason for these two people is so filthy.

"Back to Father!" Zhang Hu came to Zhang Liao's front at this time, "Lord Jia Kui quarreled with General Cao Xiu again today, the reason is because General Cao Xiu wants to raid Jiangdong again, hoping to expand the results of the battle, but Lord Jia Kui does not agree.

In the end, after the two quarreled, they almost started to move, but fortunately they were pulled away by many generals, and in the end, it was His Majesty's envoy who came and asked for a truce, and the matter officially passed. ”

Hearing that the two of them almost fought again today, Zhang Liao also felt that his head hurt, and he didn't know what to say about these two people.

Jia Kui is different from Zang Ba, to be honest, this person is actually a person who talks about things, he is not like Zang Ba, he will never fight for power and profit, nor will he take the initiative to offend anyone.

The quarrels between the two of them in the past few times are indeed Jia Kui's own reasons, but he has always been very entangled, whether Jia Kui is intentional or unintentional, which makes Zhang Liao have a headache.

"It's really old, and I can't solve such a trivial matter!" Zhang Liao suddenly said such a sentence very lonely, so obedient to the old, but it made his son Zhang Hu extremely uncomfortable.

I want to persuade my father, but I don't know how to persuade myself.

After Zhang Liao coughed for a while, he told Zhang Hu a little weakly, "Go and invite Liang Dao for your father, my father has something to ask him!" ”

"No!" Although Zhang Hu really didn't want his father to be so busy again, since his father said so, then he couldn't resist, so after agreeing, he quickly left Zhang Liao's camp and went to find Jia Kui.

Not long after, Jia Kui came to Zhang Liao's tent.

"General!" For Zhang Liao, even if Jia Kui, the assassin of Yuzhou, is not much different from him, but at this time, he has to respectfully call a general.

"Liang Dao!" Zhang Liao opened his eyes weakly, and then looked at Jia Kui and smiled hard, "Sit down, I came to you today, mainly to ask you a word." ”

Jia Kui did not sit down, but stood respectfully beside Zhang Liao, with a very humble attitude, after listening to Zhang Liao's words, Jia Kui knew what he was called for.

"General Zhang Liao, rest assured, Jia Kui does not like General Cao Xiu, but even so, Jia Kui will not abolish the public for personal reasons!" Jia Kui admitted very happily, he could hide these things from the soldiers below, but he couldn't hide from this General Zhang Wenyuan.

After hearing this, Zhang Liao could only say that he was not only worried, but also a little more relieved.

"Can you tell the old man why?" Zhang Liao really wanted to know what Cao Xiu, the general of the Eastern Expedition, had done to make Jia Kui, a selfless fellow, have this disgust for him.

"I saw the men of the King of the Plains in General Zheng Dong's military camp!" Jia Kui did not hide Zhang Liao, but said what he saw directly.

"The last general knows that the king of the plains is His Majesty's own son, and it is reasonable for him to inherit the unification in the future, but at this time, His Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the king of the plains is only the king of the plains, and he can't manage the military generals privately, but the general of Zhengdong is the commander of an army, how can it be so ridiculous!"

Listening to Jia Kui's words, Zhang Liao's eyes slowly closed, and then finally sighed softly, "The old man knows about this matter, don't worry about it anymore, you are the assassin of Yuzhou, if there is no accident after a while, I am afraid that the general of Zhengdong will officially accept the defense of Yangzhou in the southeast."

There are still a lot of things you have to do in Yuzhou, don't offend people here, the old man is in charge of this matter, you can step down! ”

Zhang Liao is already dying, to put it bluntly, his life is not long in coming, at this time, he really can't bear to let Jia Kui, a Junjie of the Cao family, have anything to do with it.

After Jia Kui heard Zhang Liao's words, he was panicked at first, and then a little overwhelmed.

"General Zhang Liao, you are not in good health, but you are still a good student, so don't wait for these things for me..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Liao directly interrupted Jia Kui's words, "Old man, can you live for ten or eight more years regardless of this matter?" Don't talk nonsense, get out, and don't worry about the rest! ”

Jia Kui saw that Zhang Liao had already made a decision, so he bowed directly to Zhang Liao, and then slowly retreated from his tent.

After Jia Kui left, Zhang Liao lay on the bed, looked at the top of the empty tent, and couldn't help sighing.

"King of the Plains, what a good boy, it's a pity that he has such a mother!"

(The King of the Plains, that is, the later Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, this is an interesting emperor, as the son of Cao Pi, he was crowned king in the third year of the early Huang Dynasty, and the king at this time can basically be sure that there is no royal inheritance.)

And because of his maternal line, some of them are very disliked by Cao Pi, and his mother is Zhen Mi, who is known as the first person in Hebei and Luoshen.

What a good girl, it's just that all the praise of this girl in the end was given by Cao Zhi, the little uncle, and these two people.... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an innocent lord.

Zhen Mi lost her father at the age of three, and she has been quite famous in the countryside since she was a child, which is very similar to Cao Pi's younger brother, her later brother-in-law Cao Zhi, and her talent is still very famous.

"Book of Wei": After Liu Liangxiang and his sons, Liang pointed and said: "This woman is unspeakable." After from the young to the long, it is not easy to tease. At the age of eight, there are horsemen outside, and all the sisters of the family go to the pavilion to watch it, and they can't do it alone. The sisters asked, and then replied, "Is this what a woman sees?" "Nine years old, like books, depending on the words, the number of brothers pen inkstone, brother said later: "You should be a female worker." Use books for learning, and treat them as female doctors? Later, he replied: "The wise woman who heard the ancients did not learn the success or failure of the previous life, and thought it was her own commandment." If you don't know the book, how can you see it? ”

When that woman was generally talentless, Zhen Mi's character was really special, Jian'an married Yuan Xi, the eldest son of the Yuan family, in four years, and then Jian'an was admitted to the house by Cao Pi in nine years.

gave birth to a son and a daughter to Cao Pi in one go, Cao Ei and Dongxiang princess Cao Shi, both of whom are Zhen Mi's children.

However, among the mother, son and daughter, it is only that the mother Zhen Mi and the brother-in-law Cao Zhi are not clear, but his son Cao Rong still has a big problem.

There is a saying in many historical sources that Cao Rong is very likely to be Yuan Xi's widow, and this is not impossible.

Emperor Wei Ming was only thirty-six years old when he died, and when he returned at this time, it was just when Cao Pi married Zhen Mi back.

Cao Cao and Yuan attacked on both sides of the Yellow River, and finally Cao Cao won a big victory, conquered the entire northern land, and almost slaughtered the Yuan family, Yuan Shao, the head of the Yuan family, was dead, Yuan Shang was sold by his two elder brothers, and finally the eldest brother Yuan Tan and the second brother Yuan Xi were also sold by Cao Cao.

Throughout the time, the Yuan family once had no descendants, and at this time, Cao Pi and Cao Cao saw Zhen Mi who married Yuan Xi at the same time.

At this time, Zhen Mi was already pregnant, but her appearance may not be visible, Cao Cao wanted to take her back, but Cao Pi also thought about this talented and extremely beautiful woman, and took Zhen Mi back directly before his father.

even wrote a letter to persuade Cao Cao to agree to this matter.

Cao Pi married Zhen Mi back, and then let her give birth to that child, and treated him very well, but Cao Zhi touched Zhen Mi's heart with a "Luo Shen Fu" when he was most proud, and finally the two men entangled each other for this woman and so on.

In short, in the end, Zhen Mi could be regarded as dying in the hands of Cao Pi, and Cao Pi once wanted to kill Cao Rong, but in the end, he couldn't be ruthless, so he could only hand over the child to Queen Guo to take away and teach.

Queen Guo did not disappoint him and taught Cao Ei very well, but even so, in the third year of Huang Chu, after Cao Chang was appointed as the king of the city, Cao Ei took over a plain king, and finally Queen Guo had no children, which gave Cao Ei a chance.

And in the end, Cao Rong passed the throne to Cao Zhang's son..... That is, the throne was passed back again....

The author once felt that this was a big play, a particularly beautiful play. οΌ‰

glanced at Cao Xiu, who was greatly relieved at the entrance of the cave, and Jiang Ji, who was also worried in the camp of the mouth of the cave.

As General Zuo Zhonglang, it is really not easy for him to be in charge of the army alone, and what is even more difficult is that he has to try his best to prevent the attack of the Jiangdong army these days, and Cao Ren has been responsible for the previous failures, but now if something happens, he doesn't want to die!

Jiang Ji had a bad time during this time, and the most he did every day was to take Cao Tai to inspect the camp together, and the two of them came to find fault in various ways, almost to make this Cao army camp as strong as a fortress.

Every day, Cao Tai looked forward to Zhu Huan coming to attack Cao Ying, and then either let him be ashamed, or let him die on the battlefield.

And every day Jiang Ji's hope is.... Cao Tai's child is still young, everything he says doesn't count, and what he says can't be realized!

At this time, Jiang Ji heard the news of Cao Pi's envoy and knew that Jiangdong had finally relented, and the first thing was "Who opened the situation and forced Jiangdong Sun Quan to be like this!" ”

Jiang Ji is considered a strategist, he knows, If no one opens up the situation at this time, Sun Quan will not choose to surrender first, and the person who is the first to surrender will not have to pay a very low price.

What the envoy said here in Jiang Ji is relatively simple.

"General Cao Zhen led the army to break the Hengjiang Dock Fort, beheaded Sun Huan, and finally broke through the place of Niuzhu Tun, opening up the passage between our army and Xichuan Jiangzhou, at this time General Cao Zhen and Liao Yuanjian of Xichuan have begun to prepare for war, Sun Quan is afraid!"

After Jiang Ji heard this, his first thought was, "After Cao Ren's death, the Cao family did not fall, and Cao Zhen is the leader of the next generation." ”

Indeed, in the case that Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, could not come forward, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang, and Xiahou Ru should be the most capable of competing for the position of the head of the Cao family now.

Xiahou Ru's qualifications are still a little light, although now he has also begun to fight in the Central Plains, but at this time he is not a person who can handle it.

In addition to this, Xiahou Shang had quite a lot of achievements in attacking Nanjun, coupled with the fact that he directly attacked Shangyong at the beginning, and took the land of Shangyong almost without blood, his ability is beyond doubt.

Further down, Cao Xiu first replaced Xiahoudun in the first year of the early Huang Dynasty to garrison Juchao, and he had already won a big victory over Jiangdong, and at that time, the little place that Jiangdong had finally crossed the river to occupy was almost gone.

Coupled with this great victory at the entrance of the cave, his prestige may be even higher than that of Xiahou Shang.

But neither of these two people is qualified to directly replace the late Cao Ren to lead the world's military.

Until just now, Jiang Ji heard Cao Zhen's record.

This general of Cao Wei's army, first shocked the land of Yongliang, and after pacifying the entire Yongliang, he cooperated with Zhang Ji to open up the Hexi Corridor, and then fought in Nanjun, and his prestige was already unparalleled.

After Cao Ren and Xiahou Shang both failed, they directly sent Niu Zhu to open the situation again, which can be regarded as a great help to the Cao family.

And with this piece of credit, Cao Zhen is qualified to replace Cao Ren.

"I didn't expect that in the end, Cao Zhen was cheaper..."

Cao Zhen is not the biological son of the Cao family, although he has a very good relationship with Cao Pi, but in the same way, he is also very special to the Cao family.

Cao Zhen was already over forty years old at this time, and when he first went to the battlefield, he was with Cao Cao against the Yellow Turban Army.

And at this time, Cao Pi was still babbling.

So from this point of view, in fact, Cao Zhen can also be counted as the remnant of that era of gods and ghosts.

It's just that there were too many gods, ghosts, and demons in that era.

Cao Zhen, a junior, and he didn't have any talent to help him succeed, so he was naturally ignored by everyone.

It's just that he didn't think much about it, and after a few decades, he Cao Zhen also successfully stood on the top of the world and became a leader.

Jiang Ji put down all the thoughts in his heart, and then began to arrange his own things to do, since the army was about to be withdrawn, then many things had to be prepared, and he finally stopped staring at Cao Tai every day.

"The war between us and Jiangdong is over, no matter how we wait this time, in short, the war is over, you will guard the camp with me, don't make more trouble!"

After Jiang Ji was anxious about many Cao Jun generals, he said with a half-mention and half-order, so that the hearts of many generals and colonies were also certain.

After many generals left, Jiang Ji left Cao Tai behind, "Major General, this is the last time a certain family calls you Major General, I hope that the Major General can understand one thing, that is, the war we are waiting for is over, I hope the Major General will not be impulsive." ”

After Jiang Ji finished speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Tai's answer, but saw Cao Tai turn around and leave directly.

Jiang Ji didn't look for him, he knew where Cao Tai had gone, and if nothing else, Cao Tai should have gone to see his father.

Watching Cao Tai leave, Jiang Ji could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, in the Cao army camp in Nanjun, Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen were not here, and Xu Huang and Zhang He were looking at each other.

"The two generals are not in Nanjun, do I need to report it?" Xu Huang looked at the envoy in front of him, and a chuckle appeared on his face, "He should be fighting Jiangdong elsewhere now..."

The envoy also knew that among the three battlefields, the army of the West Road and South County was the most erratic.

The battlefield of Nanjun is now two lieutenant generals and veterans confronting Jiangdong County, and the two main generals have already run to other places early in the morning and evening, and they are directly fighting with the people of Xichuan.

The envoy looked at Xu Huang and Zhang He and chuckled, "Don't worry, the two generals, we have already sent people to go, and we should be almost there at this time." ”

Hearing that someone had already gone forward, Zhang He and Xu Huang also nodded, "Since this is the case, then it is very good, we will hold the camp tightly to prevent a surprise attack in Jiangdong!" ”

After the envoy said goodbye and left, the two veterans looked at each other and smiled, and they were completely emotional.

"I didn't expect it, I waited for the end to let a junior compare!" Xu Huang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "General Cao Zhen, a certain family remembers that when I first met him, he was still a child, and I never thought that he would grow up to this!" ”

Zhang He sneered after hearing this, "You are really embarrassed to say this, how old were you when you saw him?" ”

"Hahaha!" Xu Huang couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhang He's words, "That's right, that is General Cao Zhen, but he came up from a soldier little by little, but it is not something that ordinary people can compare, but the old man laughed at this!" ”

Cao Zhen is not Cao Cao's biological son, nor is he the heir of the Cao family, it is just a surname with Cao Cao, and it is not a source, because this surname was given by Cao Cao to his father Qin Shao, and Cao Zhen is just an adopted son of Cao Cao.

From the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he appeared by the side of Taizu Cao Cao, and after so many years of conscientious work, he was the first person in the Cao family to be crowned a marquis, and he was named the Marquis of Lingshou Pavilion because of his military exploits.

When his father was following Cao Cao, he was killed by Huang Wan, the assassin of Yuzhou under Yuan Shu, leaving Cao Zhen a lonely guy.

From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Hanzhong War, Cao Zhen really slashed out of the position of the soldier bit by bit with a big knife in his hand, and all the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family can say that they were very high at the beginning, only Cao Zhen can't.

When Cao Cao raised his troops, Xiahou Yuan was his personal guard, Xiahou Yuan was leading the Xiahou family's soldiers, Cao Chun and Cao Ren of the Cao family also led the Cao family with the troops, and Cao Hong had a very good relationship with Chen Wen and others, and he could always recruit elite soldiers.

And among these people, Cao Zhen, the son of Qin Shao, is a small soldier under Cao Cao.

When Xu Huang surrendered under Yang Feng, it was the first time he saw Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen was very young at the beginning, and he couldn't tell that he had been on the battlefield for many years.

The three-way army and the two-way division, Wen Qin and Cao Zhenxiahou Shang already knew what to do, and they were all slowly collecting the soldiers under their command, and then waiting in place, waiting for the envoy from Jiangdong to appear, offer their own offerings, and ask He Ping.

It's just that at this time, Cao Pi, who should be the happiest, couldn't be happy.

In Wancheng's mansion, Cao Pi's big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Pi didn't care about the war at all, he just cared about the old man in front of him.

"Wenhe, you have to insist on it any longer!" Cao Pi sat on the bed, holding Jia Xu's hand in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered, "You are also one of the few old ministers under my command, if you are no longer old, then I..."

Jia Xu opened his old eyes, which were already a little dizzy, and laughed helplessly, "Your Majesty is not like this, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, what is the big deal, the old minister is now considered to be a very human minister, and he has no regrets in this life." ”

"Lord Jia Xu, I still want to ask you to continue to assist my Great Wei and give advice to my Great Wei!" Cao Pi took Jia Xu's hand, he was really reluctant to let Jia Xu go.

"Your Majesty! Don't do that! Jia Xu shook his head helplessly, "The old man will use his last strength to escort Dawei again, I just hope that Your Majesty will not be more sad." ”

"Boss...."Cao Pi's mood was also difficult to calm down, "Now that my army is about to retreat, I will return to Luoyang in a few days, and I will definitely be able to cure the boss at that time!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't toss, the imperial doctor can cure the sick, he may cure the old?" Jia Xu laughed, but he was very free and easy, "The old man is already so old, those old friends don't know how many times they have scolded the old man below, and it's time to go to them." ”

"Boss...."

"Your Majesty can you let them all out?" Jia Xu looked at the many generals and strategists who came with Cao Pi, and said softly to Cao Pi, and many words in the back could only be said by the two of them.

Cao Pi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he snorted coldly at the person behind him, "You won't leave yet!" ”

Many generals and strategists looked at the two people in front of them, and couldn't help but leave, and after everyone left, Jia Xu suddenly grabbed Cao Pi's hand.

"Your Majesty, can you tell the old minister, what does Your Majesty think?" Jia Xu's dizzy old eyes at this time seemed to have a cold light flickering, "Your Majesty is not a Taizu, if you repeat the past of the year, it may not be good!" ”

What Jia Xu said was the original battle for succession, when a male lord like Cao Pi was almost knocked to the dust, and now Cao Pi also has nine sons who are still alive, if one is not very much, I am afraid it will be even more uncomfortable than before.

Praise and mourn Wang Cao Xie, Beihai mourning king Cao Rui, Dongwuyang Huai Wang Cao Jian, Donghai Ding Wang Cao Lin, Yuancheng mourning Wang Cao Li, Handan Huai Wang Cao Yong, Qinghe mourning Wang Cao Gong, Guangping mourning king Cao Yan plus now raised under the knee of Queen Guo Wang Cao Rong.

There are a total of nine sons, although in addition to Cao Rong, the king of the plains, the rest are just a group of powerless concubines, and they should not have the ability to fight for power and profit, but it doesn't mean that they don't have this mind.

"This thing.... What do you think of Wen He? "Cao Pi has experienced the battle for succession, and knows how dirty and terrible a person can become at that time.

"Your Majesty, if you want to come to the school office, you don't dare to take care of royal affairs, but the old man is about to die, and there are some things that must be said!" Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi and said in a cold voice, "The three princes of Praise and Mourning King Cao Xie, Qinghe Mourning King Cao Gong, and Guangping Mourning King Cao Yan have already moved a lot of thoughts, and at this time, they still have a lot of power in their hands.

As for Cao Jian, the Huai King of Dongwu Yang, he only has this mind now, but if he really moves this mind in the future, then there is no need to be afraid, naturally someone will deal with him..."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he looked at Cao Pi in front of him and waited for his reply.

Cao Pi's face was a little ugly, he had been working hard to deal with the political affairs of the Great Wei State, and he had been working hard to deal with these national affairs, but he really didn't pay attention to these things, but he didn't expect that in just three or four years, his sons were already like this.

"How dare they?" Cao Pi sneered, and couldn't help but be a little angry, "What about Cao Rong, the king of the plains, is he not moving now?" ”

"Lao Chen's manpower here is not replying!" At this time, Jia Xu still looked like an old man who was about to die, although he was still weak, but he was by no means about to die.

Jia Xu didn't stop after saying that, but continued, "There are only two kinds of causes of this situation, one is that Cao Rong really doesn't have any enterprising spirit, and the second is that he has become powerful!" ”

Cao Pi's eyes narrowed slightly after listening, "Which kind of person do you think he is?" ”

"The old minister doesn't know, the old minister just knows that if he wants to do this, it's very simple!" Jia Xu shook his head, "Cao Rong's child, whether it is his biological mother or adoptive mother, is the queen of my Great Wei harem, and that child himself is very smart..."

Cao Pi's eyes narrowed slightly, "He...."

Cao Pi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed.

Jia Xu has been with their father and son for many years, where can Cao Pi's mind not know, many secrets of the Cao family are not secrets here in Jia Xu, he knows what Cao Pi is worried about.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister once made his own decisions, and planted a secret hand beside Cao Rong, no one knows except the old minister, and when the old minister dies, he will be introduced to His Majesty, if it is really impossible to do anything, the old minister can guarantee that this Great Wei is the Great Wei of the Cao family!"

When he spoke, Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he didn't feel at all how taboo it was to place his own hands next to a prince.

After Cao Pi heard Jia Xu's words, he also shook Jia Xu's hand vigorously, "I know, hard Wenhe, hard Wenhe!" ”

Jia Xu didn't say more about this aspect, but continued to say, "Your Majesty, can you tell Lao Chen, what do you think, Lao Chen hopes to help the Cao family help Dawei as much as possible before he dies, and live a smoother life." ”

Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If I want to emulate the old things in Jiangdong, I don't know what Taiwei thinks!" ”

"Is it Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng?" Jia Xu didn't have any surprises about this matter, in fact, many people have already guessed this matter now, "If it is the king of Rencheng, then it is possible to unify the world!" ”

The old thing in Jiangdong is actually that in the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, died, and then passed the position of the lord of Jiangdong to his younger brother Sun Quan.

Brother to brother and this kind of thing, in fact, is not a few, and it is not so surprising.

"Does the old lady think it's feasible?" Cao Pi heard that Taiwei Jia Xu did not object, and he was sure in his heart, "Since this is the case, then I will arrange the will..."

"Your Majesty, wait!" Jia Xu stretched out his hand to stop Cao Pi's excitement, "Lao Chen, there is a letter here, take a look!" ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu picked up a small and exquisite wooden box from his bedside and sent it to Cao Pi's hands.

When I opened the wooden box, it was a brand-new letter, and what was written in it made Cao Pi's face change greatly!

"Actually.... How dare they do that! After Cao Pi read the letter, he only felt the anger in his heart rising, "These guys are really worthy of my trust in them!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Jia Xu interrupted Cao Pi's anger in a deep voice, "At this time, it is already essential for us to wait for the withdrawal of the army, but fortunately, Wen Ping did a good job in Jiangxia, and he also took back four counties, so that I can barely make the difference."

The next thing is not to fight externally, I don't have time to wait, the internal problems need to be solved! ”

"I knew, I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but I didn't expect it to lead out a group of colorful tigers!" The gloom on Cao Pi's face became more and more in his eyes, and his eyes became fierce.

This is the last reason why he came to Wancheng to personally supervise the battle, he wanted to see how many people could jump out of Luoyang, and Cao Zhang's letter to Jia Xu just now really surprised him.

Jia Xu saw that Cao Pi had calmed down, so he said a good word for Cao Zhang, "Your Majesty, King Ren Cheng is not sure, so he didn't go directly..."

"Old lady, you don't have to say it!" Cao Pi directly interrupted Jia Xu's words, but there was no blame on his face, "How can I not know what this younger brother of mine is like, he is afraid that I will accidentally draw it, don't worry!" ”

Jia Xu nodded, and said no more about the matter between their brothers.

"According to what King Ren Cheng said, I'm afraid that Cao Xie, the son of Li Guiren, should not have any good results, he was the first to make the move, and he just happened to be able to see how much power His Majesty's heirs have now."

"Hmm!" Cao Pi didn't have any waves about the death of one of his children, or now he really didn't care about the death of such a son, and even felt that it was not a pity for this guy to die.

"Then those families who follow them and those forces...."Jia Xu continued to ask, he needed to know Cao Pi's attitude towards these people, so that he could continue to do it.

"Kill!" Cao Pi sneered, "I have been really too merciful during this time, and I didn't even kill Cao Zhi, so let them think that I am a weak and deceitful person, and this time I just let them know who is the monarch of this Great Wei!" ”

"So, the old minister understands!" After Jia Xu understood what Cao Pi meant, he began to think about how to start arranging.

Cao Pi looked at the old man, and no longer bothered, but told him to rest well, and then got up and left, and at the same time took away the letter from Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, to him.

After all, Jia Xu is just Jia Xu, even if he is smart, but in his familiarity with Cao Zhang, he is still not as good as Cao Pi.

From that letter, Cao Pi knew another thing, that is, his younger brother may have been in addition to an accident.

Leaving Jia Xu's side, Cao Pi directly called the scouts and the spies from the school office, "Is there anything else I need to deal with recently?" ”

The scout looked at Cao Pi, whose face was full of calm, and finally said in a deep voice, "The envoy from Jiangdong will come to Wancheng in the near future to contact His Majesty about the boycott of troops on both sides!" ”

The spy from the school office also said, "Lord Han Long has sent news, Liu Xuande is afraid that his life will not be long, and now the situation in Xichuan is tense!" ”

After hearing this, Cao Pi just nodded, didn't say anything, waved them and let them leave.

After they all left, Cao Pi brought over Biqiu Jian who was not far away, "Do you know where Han Long is now?" ”

Biqiu Jian had been away from Han Long's side for a long time, but at this time, he still groaned and said, "The specific villain doesn't know, but with the kid's understanding of Lord Han Long, I'm afraid he won't return from Jiangzhou the same way!" ”

"You're saying he's going to do the opposite?" Cao Pi's eyes lit up, "He's really a smart guy, it doesn't seem that he doesn't know anything!" ”

Biqiu Jian didn't say anything more, but stayed behind Cao Pi in silence.

"You come with me, there are some things, you can find a way to send them to Han Long's hands later!"

"No!"
