Late at night.

Outside the city of Chang'an.

Cao Rui seemed to sit lightly on the war horse.

In fact, my heart has long been like a war drum, pounding.

It was the first time he had done things against his instincts.

Wrong.

It is forced to disobey!

But it doesn't matter!

Now, he has come to the outside of Chang'an City.

Cao Zhen's father and son were also on their way out of the city to greet them.

Even if it's a retreat now, it's too late.

Now that you're here, there's no need to think too much.

Cao Rui shook his head and shook off the useless thoughts in his mind!

After waiting quietly for a while, there was still no figure of Cao Zhen's father and son at the city gate.

Cao Rui's brows furrowed slightly, could it be that this is starting to change?

The uneasiness in my heart began to intensify again.

And.

As time went on, this feeling became more and more severe.

And not only him.

Cao Xiu and the army behind him were disappointed.

Originally.

In the hearts of these people, they have come from afar.

As Wang Shi, they should at least get the treatment they deserve.

Respectful greetings, generous rewards, and ...... Delicious food.

But.

I've been waiting for so long, and there's no movement at all.

Could it be that things changed at the beginning?

But now they have nothing but to wait patiently.

There seems to be no other way!

Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere in the army became more and more restless.

Just when Cao Rui and the army's manic mood reached its peak.

Cao Zhen's father and son appeared at the city gate with the guards.

Time.

Everyone looked at Cao Zhen's eyes full of resentment.

What is this?

Let the army of the dignified Son of Heaven wait at the gate of the city?

This Cao Zhen is too bold!

And.

This Cao Zhen doesn't seem to have a trace of guilt.

This made Cao Rui even more uncomfortable!

But.

After all, he is asking for others now, even if he is the Son of Heaven, he is not good to say anything.

Then keep it in mind for the time being, and wait until you have regained your strength, and then slowly liquidate.

Thinking like this, Cao Rui changed his attitude and looked at Cao Rui with a smile.

"Minister, Cao Zhen!"

"Minister, Cao Shuang!"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Cao Zhen's father and son respectfully knelt in front of Cao Rui's horse.

"When the ministers learned that His Majesty had arrived, they went back to bathe in fragrant soup to welcome the Son of Heaven!

Therefore, I neglected Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins! ”

Cao Zhen was the first to explain why they were late.

His voice was loud, except for Cao Rui.

Many people have heard his explanation!

Now.

Many people, including Cao Rui, suddenly realized.

It turned out that I had met the emperor and had to go back to prepare.

In order to make himself appear in front of the emperor with a good image.

Although this practice is unruly, it is also excusable.

At least.

It shows that Cao Zhen's father and son are still loyal to His Majesty!

Thinking about this, Cao Rui's eyes changed when he looked at Cao Zhen.

Misunderstanding, in fact, is a good thing!

If it is untied, it will quickly promote the relationship between the two.

Anyway.

Cao Rui has always thought so!

Like at this moment.

He originally mistakenly thought that Cao Zhen was deliberately snubbing himself.

I don't know how many times I have scolded each other in my heart.

But now I suddenly found out that the other party was late.

It's all because of the respect for one's own identity.

Such a contrast is enough to make Cao Rui have a great impression of Cao Xiu.

This is Cao Zhen's purpose.

At the beginning, after seeing Xu Tian's method in the secret letter.

Cao Zhen was still a little hesitant, feeling that this was clearly challenging Cao Rui.

When the time comes, let alone gain favor, I'm afraid that the other party will draw the sword directly.

Therefore.

As he did this, he was always nervous.

But now it seems that what Xu Tian said is right.

Looking at Cao Rui's eyes now, it is clear that he is impressed by himself.

This had to make Cao Zhen admire Xu Tian who was far away in Xiangyang.

"General Cao, please get up!" Cao Rui didn't pretend to be deep.

personally dismounted and helped Cao Zhen's father and son up.

Since the other party is so respectful to himself.

At this time, as the emperor, he naturally has to express himself.

"Your Majesty, please go into the city, take advantage of everything that has been prepared, and wash the dust for Your Majesty!"

Cao Zhen, who was helped up, immediately bowed to Cao Rui.

Looking at the deep city gate, Cao Rui was in a trance.

At this time, the cautiousness in his heart still hasn't been eliminated.

But.

It doesn't make a difference!

Smiling slightly, Cao Rui immediately led the army into the city with Cao Zhen......

………

In a different direction from Cao Rui, a hundred miles away from Chang'an, Sima Yi set up camp here.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of fighting any Chu State.

In his opinion, this approach is tantamount to looking for death.

Besides.

Even if he really led the army, I am afraid that if he is not afraid that Xu Tian will kill him, he will be beheaded by Cao Rui in the name of defeating the army.

Anyway, it's all dead, what are you doing in such a hurry.

Again.

In the end, it is not certain who will die!

Now.

Sima Yi was lying in his big tent of the Chinese army.

There were several flasks empty in front of him, and a few books were scattered around him.

Originally, he didn't like to drink, and in his cognition, only losers would use alcohol to numb themselves.

But.

Now he doesn't seem to have anything else to do except drink and read books all day.

He had already planned what would happen after that.

Even this plan has been repeatedly demonstrated.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the rest of the story.

At this moment, clear footsteps sounded outside the big tent.

Sima Yi, who was originally sleepy-eyed, immediately sat up violently after hearing the sound of footsteps.

He had already instructed that if there was no major matter, he would never come and disturb him!

The reason why Sima Yi did this was to know that something big had happened when he learned that someone was coming.

Really.

The footsteps grew clearer until someone stood outside the tent.

"The child meets his father!"

"Zhao'er?" Sima Yi was stunned, then quickly put on his shoes and rushed directly to the door of the big tent.

He didn't expect that Sima Zhao would come in person at this time.

"Zhao'er, why are you here?" After walking out of the big tent, Sima Yi saw Sima Zhao standing outside the tent at a glance.

At this time, Sima Yi's hair was messy, his body was full of alcohol, his eyes were red, and he didn't sleep well at first glance.

Looking at his father in such a state, Sima Zhao felt very uncomfortable.

"Meet my father......" Sima Zhao knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Okay, okay......" Sima Yi helped his son up with a smile.

With his cleverness, of course he knows why Sima Zhao is like this.

But none of that matters, what matters is why he's here......
