In a house in the southeast of Luoyang, Li Ru sat in the house, his face gloomy as water.

The shadow guard under the hall could see that this strategist, who had always been strategically and calm, was trembling with his hands at this time, and even his entire body was trembling, as if he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

On the desk in front of Li Ru was a piece of information that had just been transmitted, which read: The general was ambushed by heavy troops in the west of Shu County, and he broke out of the encirclement, and led the enemy soldiers to the west on a single horse, fell into the water, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Li Ru had read this information no less than ten times, and he still couldn't believe it, and he was shocked and angry in his heart.

He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Zhang Liao really had a problem!

What's more, the lord humiliated the ministers and died, Li Ru and Zhang Liao have been friends for many years, and at this time, he was extremely worried about Zhang Liao's safety, and he was even more angry and hateful to those who plotted against Zhang Liao.

Li Ru took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and ordered in a deep voice: "The six shadows of Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui are all going south to Lujiang, and you must find the location of the great general!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Quickly invite General Han, Commander Shi, and Zhang Sima to come." ”

"Yui!"

Below, the Shadow leads the way out.

In the room, Li Ru got up, his mood was irritable, his expression was gloomy, he looked out the window, and muttered: "The lord is both civil and military, and he is the best at dealing with crises, and he has not yet ...... I guess it's going to be fine. ”

Immediately, he clenched his fists, the back of his hand was bruised, his eyes showed endless cruelty, and he snorted coldly: "Liu Xie! Cao Cao! Liu Bei! There is also this Manchu Dynasty Minister, since he is plotting against my master, he will stop blaming me for starting the 'Heaven Sweeping Scheme' and turning this Yang upside down! ”

……

Hedong County, Wenyuan City, Jiafu.

The eldest son, Jia Mu, stood guard outside the door of his father's military general, Jia Xu's study, his face full of worry.

Just now, he handed over a shadow secret letter he received to his father, but he didn't expect his father, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, to change his face after reading the secret letter, and then drove him out and locked himself in the study alone.

Jia Mu can't remember how many years he hasn't seen his father's color change, even when Li Dao Guo Yan attacked Chang'an, his father was nothing.

What's going on?

Thinking of his father's unprecedented expression, Jia Mu had a bad premonition in his heart, although he was not as exhaustive as his father, but he could also infer one or two from the appearance, and now he can make his father change color, I am afraid that only the general Zhang Liao is the general.

Just when Jamu was in doubt, his father's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Jia Mu's heart trembled, and he could clearly hear that his father's voice was a little hoarse.

I pushed the door in, but saw my father not sitting on it, but standing in front of the window, with his back to him.

Jia Mu's mouth moved, and he was about to ask, but Jia Xu had already spoken: "Spread the message, General Gao Shun is going south, General Xu Rong is going east, and the goal is ...... Luoyang. ”

The voice was calm, slightly hoarse, but it sounded like thunder in Jamum's ears!

"Father, what happened?" Jamu's voice trembled: "Could it be the general......"

Jia Xu's voice was calm: "The general was ambushed in Shu County, and his life and death are unknown. ”

Jamu only felt a thump in his head: "How can this be? The general is good at using soldiers, and he brings elite ......"

Jia Xu said lightly: "Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself, although you practice the way of elite soldiers, you are planned first...... Go and deliver the message. ”

"Yui."

Jamu retreated, and the moment he turned around and closed the door, he saw his father's slightly red and swollen eyes, and Jamu trembled in his heart and felt a little sour.

He has only seen his father cry twice in his life, once when his grandfather died, and once when his grandmother died, but other than that, his father has always been as calm as water.

After Jia Mu withdrew, Jia Xu sat on the seat, silent for a long time, and only picked up a pen and wrote two words on the paper: Zhang Jian, and let out a long sigh.

……

"Woohoo! Alack! ”

In the courtyard of the general's old residence, the general of the chariot and the Sikong Cao Cao hid their faces and cried in front of the sacrifice case.

There are sacrifices on the desk, and in the middle is a spiritual seat, with a few words on the spirit of the general Zhang Liao.

On the left and right, Cheng Yu, Cao Hong and other Cao Cao cronies, as well as Yang Biao and other ministers were there.

"Woohoo!" Cao Cao held up a cup of wine and cried: "Brother Wenyuan, unfortunately died!" Drink a little wine, you have a spirit, enjoy my ......"

Just a few days ago, Cao Cao received news from Yangzhou that the general Zhang Liaozhong was killed in an ambush.

Although Cao Cao had expected it before, he was still shocked after receiving the news, he immediately asked people to inquire in many ways, and all the replies he got were Zhang Liao's poisoned arrows, lost his combat power, and was pursued by Yuan Shu's Liao Wei, and he was already killed!

So there was a scene in front of him, Cao Cao took a group of his subordinates to the General's Mansion to pay tribute to Zhang Liao.

"Woohoo...... Sijun Teenager ...... Sweeping away the rebellion and welcoming the imperial court, the merit is in the community...... The heart of loyalty, the spirit of the heroic spirit ......"

Cao Cao howled and cried in front of the spirit, his face was sad, and he could barely get up, so that all his subordinates were full of compassion, and they all deeply felt the deep friendship between Cao Cao and Zhang Liao.

Only a few people secretly sneered and slandered, the death of the general, I am afraid that this Cao Cao is one of the driving forces behind the scenes, and now this crying is just cunning and buying people's hearts.

An hour later, Cao Cao returned home, and from the lobby, Cheng Yu and Xiahoudun followed in.

Cao Cao sat on the seat, his face was sad, and he sighed: "In the battle of Yuzhou, the clerk plotted the enemy first, and he knew Yuan Shu in the palm of his hand, and he didn't want to die at the hands of the villain!" ”

Cheng Yu said calmly: "Zhang Wenyuan has the benevolence of a woman, he can't comfort the son of heaven, he can't soothe the courtiers, Yuan Shu caught his subordinate brother and threatened him, so that he lost his square inch, and the host and guest were transposed. ”

Cao Cao rolled his eyes, and sighed half-truthfully: "Wen Yuan is also a person who is affectionate and sexual, if my brother is in danger, I am afraid that I will do the same." ”

Cheng Yu said proudly: "If Ming Gong wants to achieve a great cause, the benevolence of women must not be done, otherwise Zhang Liao will be a lesson from the past!" ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Zhongde's words are true. ”

In fact, for a hero like Cao Cao, his self-proclaimed affection and sex will inevitably retreat when he encounters a power struggle. Although Cao Cao was sad about Zhang Liao's death, he was more secretly happy.

The current situation is that Zhang Liao's influence in Luoyang and the court is too great, and it is a great obstacle to his assumption of power.

Zhang Liao is not dead, he is uneasy. As soon as Zhang Liao died, it was like moving a mountain that pressed on top of his head.

For a hero like Cao Cao, it is easy to choose between affection and power.

However, Zhang Liao was kind to Cao Cao after all, and Cao Cao always had to cover it up, and said: "I just hurt Wenyuan's death." ”

Cheng Yu was very direct: "Zhang Liao is not dead, Ming Gong's ambition is difficult to pay, he is dead, Ming Gong should quickly close his old department to determine the world." ”

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao's face became gloomy, and he said unhappily: "I pay tribute to Zhang Liao, Yang Biao and others, why didn't Xun Yu come?" ”

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Since Zhang Liao is dead, Xun Wen will return to Ming Gong sooner or later, why ...... in a hurry"

Cao Cao said angrily: "Xun Yu, I have asked for it several times, but he refused, and I was unhappy when I was a knife!" ”

Although he loves talents and can be polite and virtuous, he does not have much patience, and he must not leave to others the great talents that cannot be used for himself. Now that he is in power with the Son of Heaven, he can't tolerate a two-hearted minister.

After saying that, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xiahoudun on the side: "Yuan Rang, you will invite him again, if you don't come, hum!" Ask him to come, hold on to his door! ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Hong's voice came from outside: "Lord, something happened!" ”

Cao Cao was startled, saw that Cao Hong had already come in, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "There is a civil unrest in Luoyang, and there are rumors that the lord and the Son of Heaven conspired to kill the general, and they want to ...... Chase the king, punish the ministers, and avenge the general. ”

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu's faces changed greatly.

Cheng Yu immediately said: "It must be Zhang Liao's plan against the party, and he should be quickly pacified!" ”
