In the middle of the night, the lone star hangs in the sky, the cold wind that erodes the bones rags the earth, the lights and shadows in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty are full of shadows, and the lanterns hanging in the palace corridor are swaying back and forth.

The hurried footsteps stopped abruptly, and a knock on the door rang out, and a low, hoarse voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, Zhang He, and Cao Ren are here!"

"Bang!"

Cao Cao slapped his hand on the wooden case, anger appeared on his face, and he said sharply: "Let the two of them enter the palace, break 200,000 male teachers, and return to Beijing with face." ”

Less.

Zhang He and Cao Ren entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, the two of them held a helmet in one hand, a broadsword at their waist in the other, their temples were messy, and they knelt on the ground to salute, with a strong look of self-reproach on their faces.

"Sinner Zhang He, Cao Ren, meet the emperor!"

"Zhang He, Cao Renzhen values the two of you so much, but the battle of Luling and the others are all wiped out, which really makes me feel cold."

Cao Cao looked at the decadent appearance of the two, obviously coming back from a long journey without stopping, because the silent sand and dust could be seen in the gaps in their armor.

"Your Majesty, the battle of Luling, the last general will not be able to escape the blame, I hope the emperor's sin!"

Zhang He and Cao Ren's second generals still don't know how the enemy soldiers of Eastern Wu appeared that night, how they can know that there will be a thick fog and east wind that night, the fire burned the warships of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the soldiers were buried in the sea of fire, until this moment the two still have palpitations.

"Zhang He, Cao Ren's defeat on the battlefield led to the annihilation of the whole army, the crime is unforgivable, I remember the two of you for many years of hard work, I will leave you with your life."

"From now on, the title of general will be stripped of his title, demoted to a small soldier, and he will be guilty of meritorious service."

"Thank the emperor for not killing!"

"Thank the emperor for not killing!"

Zhang He, after Cao Ren withdrew from the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Cao Cao's expression was solemn, heartbroken, and the 200,000 army was burned.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Luling, our army was defeated, and the minister still can't believe that overnight, a burning fire swallowed up our army."

Xun Yu's face was suspicious, his brows were furrowed, and a deep voice sounded.

"Wen Ruo, sooner or later, this matter will come to light, just wait with peace of mind, I don't believe that Dongwu has such a genius."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with anger, a cold voice sounded, waved his hand to signal Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai and the two withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At the same time.

In the Dongwu Imperial Palace, Sun Ce hurried to the imperial study, and after the father-in-law who stayed behind reported it, he pushed the door and entered, and the armor on his body squeaked.

"Son, see my father!"

"Ce'er, rush back thousands of miles, the boat is tired, don't be polite, hurry up!"

Sun Jian already knew that the battle of Luling City was won, and when he saw the military report handed back by Tai Shici and Lu Su, Sun Jian couldn't believe that this battle actually made the soul of the 200,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty return to the river.

"Ce'er, you mentioned in the military newspaper that there is something important, what is it that makes you so worried?"

"Father, do you remember the person who advised our army?"

Sun Jian's expression froze, and he said: "Of course I remember, if there is no such person's clever plan, how can our army win!" ”

"Father, this is the letter he left before leaving, please take a look at it!"

Sun Ce handed the letter to Sun Jian, only to hear him mutter, "Left? ”

Sun Jian's voice was full of regret, he originally wanted to take advantage of this to almost give a big reward, so that Emperor Chu could stay in Eastern Wu to serve.

"What?"

"He is the Emperor of Chu!"

Sun Jian looked shocked, the palm holding the letter trembled slightly, and an incredible color appeared in his dark eyes.

"Father, Emperor Chu mentioned in his letter that he joined forces and swept through the countries of the East China Sea, but I don't know how my father decides."

Sun Ce's inquiry sounded, and he saw Sun Jian's expression gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Emperor Chu is so demonic, no wonder he can sweep the south of the East China Sea in just two years, he is really young and promising, and I am ashamed of myself." ”

"Ce'er, Emperor Chu mentioned in his letter that after the New Year's Festival, he will launch an attack on Jiangdu and the two empires of the Northern Wei Dynasty, hoping to form an alliance with us, I have to think about this matter carefully, you go back to rest first, and enter the palace with Quan'er tomorrow, and I will give you an answer at that time."

Sun Ce bowed and exited the imperial study, Sun Jian put the letter on the wooden case and said to himself.

"The state of Chu launched an attack on Fusang, and captured Kyushu Island in one fell swoop, but he commanded our army to defeat the Northern Wei army under the city of Luling, what is the intention of Emperor Chu's move, does he want to give me a dismount, or do he want to give me a big gift?"

Sun Jian couldn't figure out Emperor Chu's intentions, and the joy of the original victory was lost, so he looked at the letter on the wooden case, got up and walked towards the Jade Palace.

Sun Jian's favorite concubine lives in the Jade Palace, and in the past, he would go to the Jade Palace if he had any troubles, and this is the same tonight.

Three days later.

A carrier pigeon landed on the palace of the Northern Wei Empire, and a father-in-law with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks took off the letterhead and hurriedly ran to the imperial study.

Less.

A shrill voice came from the imperial study, saying, "Your Majesty, there is news from Dongwu." ”

"Hurry up!"

Cao Cao's hurried voice sounded, and he suddenly rose up and took the letterhead handed by the little eunuch, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu both looked puzzled, and their eyes converged on Cao Cao.

"It's you!"

"Kill my army of 200,000, and I will never die with you from now on!"

Cao Cao clutched the letterhead in his hand, his fingers squeaked, his eyes became gloomy, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai had never seen Cao Cao so angry, and the two of them were terrified and didn't dare to ask.

Long.

Cao Cao sighed, raised his hand and handed the letterhead to Xun Yu, and the two of them stared intently, showing panic.

"Emperor Chu is the initiator of the burning of Chibi, this is simply a shocking mystery, the state of Chu has been fighting on Kyushu Island during this time, and I can't believe that Emperor Chu will appear in Soochow."

"Yes, this is simply incredible, Your Majesty, will Emperor Chu already know that the siege of the Mongol army is the ploy of Lord Jia, so he will go to Eastern Wu to help him?"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu exclaimed, Cao Cao applauded, and said, "Do you really think that Emperor Chu is a god?" ”

"If he knew that Jia Xu was using a plan to let the Mongol army go down to the city, do you think Jia Xu would return unscathed?"

Smell.

The two were panicked, and Xi Zhicai suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, right now that the Chu State is attacking the Fusang Empire, do you want to send troops to help Fusang?" ”

"The Fusang Empire is notorious, and it has long been the target of the public, let the Fusang Empire consume the troops of the Chu State, we have just lost 200,000 soldiers, how can we help him?"

"Alright, you two stand down, I want to be quiet!"

Cao Cao's expression was gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal Xun Yu, and the two of them left, falling on the wooden couch on the side, and the whole person looked a little tired.
