Adou took a step back. [ ] broke free from Guo Huai's hands, looked at Guo Huai with an incredible face, smiled slightly and said, "Okay Guo Huai, you think about it slowly, I will come to see you another day." Then Adou walked out and closed the cell door

"What the hell have you done to me! Why can't I move my hands anymore! ”

"I've already clicked on the acupuncture points on your shoulders, so now you can't move your arms, but don't worry, in two hours, your arms will naturally regain sensation." Adou said and walked out, leaving only Guo Huai looking at his arms in a daze.

"I didn't expect this Liu Chan to be proficient in medicine......" Guo Huai sighed helplessly.

……

Adou walked out of the dim dungeon, and at this time, in addition to Zhang Wei, even Cheng Wu was waiting outside.

Cheng Wu greeted him with a smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you want to worship Cao Cao, and the ministers around Luoyang are the most familiar, so let the ministers be the guide." ”

"Yes." Adou nodded, Cheng Wu was an official in Luoyang, so he was naturally familiar with the surroundings of Luoyang.

"Cheng Wu, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange! That's right. Go ask Guo Huai and tell him that I will go to worship Cao Cao tomorrow and let him come together. ”

"Guo Huai?" Cheng Wu was slightly stunned, his face was full of puzzlement, but Cheng Wu was a smart person, he didn't ask Adou, but nodded and retreated.

After Adou left, Cheng Wu walked down the dungeon as soon as possible.

"Ahem......" woke up Guo Huai, Guo Huai raised his head and saw Cheng Wu walking in.

"Cheng Wu, what are you doing here!" Guo Huai said with a look of disgust. In Guo Huai's view, if it weren't for Cheng Wu's defection, how could Luoyang be lost. With this, Guo Huai hated Cheng Wu very much.

"General Guo Huai, now that Your Majesty has come to persuade you personally, I think you should surrender!"

"Don't think! What is the face of you, a man of glory sought by the Lord, to speak of me? Guo Huai said angrily.

Guo Huai's reaction did not surprise Cheng Wu at all. Cheng Wu sighed a little helplessly, and then said, "Tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will go to worship Cao Cao, do you want to go together?" ”

"Me?" Guo Huai was stunned for a moment, and at the same time began to secretly wonder what kind of medicine was sold in Adou Gourd.

"Go and go, I'm afraid you won't make it, the big deal is to lose your life, Lao Tzu doesn't even want his life, I'm still afraid of this!" Guo Huai pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

……

Huaiyin. Cao Jun camp.

Cao Shuang approached the big tent and came to Cao Zhen, and behind Cao Shuang, there was a general who was about the same age as Cao Shuang. This man is eight feet tall, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall nose, and two mustaches at the corners of his mouth.

"Father......" Cao Shuang walked over, pointed to the person next to him, and then said: "Father, this is my friend Biqiu Jian." ”

"Biqiu Jian? I've heard of you, you're the one Shang.

The surname "Biqiu" is rare, so Cao Zhen thought about it slightly and remembered this Biqiu Jian.

"The general, it's the last general." Biqiu replied respectfully.

At this time, Cao Shuang took a step forward and said, "Father, Biqiu Jian has just come to escort grain and grass. However, this grain and grass should have arrived yesterday, but now it has come, which is half a day late. ”

"En......" Cao Zhen raised his head, according to military law, the escort grain and grass were late. If you encounter the coach to find fault, you can directly use this as an excuse to cut off the grain pipe.

Cao Zhen looked at Cao Shuang, since Cao Shuang came with Biqiu Jian, he must have wanted to intercede for Biqiu Jian.

Although this way of governing the army pays attention to strict military discipline, and those who violate military discipline must be punished, this military law is nothing more than human feelings, and it only ends half a day after transporting grain, and it does not cause much harm, so even if it spares Biqiu Jian, it doesn't matter. Since his son pleaded, Cao Zhen still had to give some face.

"Biqiu Jian, why are you late for transporting grain?" Cao Zhen asked in an official tone.

"General, I suddenly encountered a torrential rain on the road, blocking the road, so I came half a day late." Biqiu replied.

"En......" Cao Zhen pondered slightly for a moment, and then said: "It's not your fault that the sky is raining heavily and blocking the road...... I won't be punished this time, so let's not take it as an example! ”

"Thank you, General, but the last general came just to ask the General to punish him."

"Well, didn't I say you're innocent?" Cao Zhen asked.

"General, the last general thinks that the general will not only punish the last general, but also punish him heavily!"

"Heavy fines? What do you mean? Cao Zhen asked puzzled.

"General, the general has a plan. Can break Sun Quan! Biqiu Jian said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the plan, come on! ”

"General, during the Battle of Chibi back then, Zhou Gongjin used bitter meat tricks, why don't we use them now?"

"Bitter Meat Trick?" Cao Zhen's eyes lit up, and with Cao Zhen's many years of experience in leading troops, Cao Zhen immediately understood what he meant.

"The bitter meat plan is a good strategy, but Biqiu is frugal, you have to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin!" Cao Zhen asked.

"As long as you can break the enemy, you can't worry about the pain of flesh and skin!"

"Okay, Biqiu Jian, if this plan can be successful, help me break Sun Quan, and you will be able to do it!"

……

On the same day, Cao Zhen used the excuse that Biqiu Jian was not good for transporting grain and had finished half a day, and wanted to deal with Biqiu Jian in front of all the soldiers in the camp. Biqiu Jian explained in every possible way, Cao Zhen just didn't listen, and in the end, Cao Zhen still beat Biqiu Jian fifty boards, and on the grounds that Biqiu Jian did not repent, shirked responsibility, and formed a party for personal gain. He was demoted to the official position of Biqiu Jian.

……

Outside the city of Luoyang.

Adou wants to worship Cao Cao, which is a very incredible thing in the eyes of many people. In the eyes of the public, these two sides are feuds, and they have been fighting for so many years, if it is said that Adou pulled out Cao Cao's corpse and whipped the corpse, some people believe that if it is said that the worship of the Eight Classics is serious, many people will find it ridiculous. What's more, they think that Adou is going to play some tricks again

But since the emperor has spoken, everyone does not dare to object, in short, Adou said what to do. Just do what you do over there.

In front of Cao Cao's tomb, there was a large group of people standing mightily, even when Cao Cao was buried that day, there was no such momentum.

The soldiers were surrounded by three layers and three layers outside, and in the middle, in addition to Adou and some accompanying officials, many children of the Luoyang scholar clan were also invited to accompany Adou. It is said that after Adou worships and plays Cao Cao, he will also inspect Luoyang City, and these children of the scholar clan will accompany him throughout the process.

However, this is great news for these invited families. Luoyang City has changed masters, and everyone wants to find an opportunity to stammer with this new master as soon as possible, and accompanying Adou to inspect Luoyang is a godsend.

Guo Huai stood in the midst of the ministers, with a cold face, and did not speak, nor did he make any small movements.

Today's Guo Huai wore a neat civilian clothes, his face was also clean, and he didn't put on any torture instruments, of course, all this was prepared by Adou for Guo Huai.

From the outside, Guo Huai is no different from other ministers, but in fact, Guo Huai's arms were pointed by Adou again, and Guo Huai's arms couldn't move at all at this time.

Standing on the left of Guo Huai is Guan Xing, and on the right is Zhang Bao, Huang Chong is standing behind Guo Huai, surrounded by military generals, which makes Guo Huai directly give up the idea of finding fault and stand there quietly.

Adou stood in front of Cao Cao's tombstone, carefully examining the inscription, and then Adou reached out and took the wine jug from the eunuch next to him, and slowly spilled the wine on the ground. Immediately afterwards, Adou took a stick of incense from the side. Respectfully placed in the censer.

After doing all this, Adou looked back at Guo Huai, beckoned, and motioned for Guo Huai to come over.

Guo Huai came closer, Adou pointed to Cao Cao's tombstone, and then said: "You were promoted by Cao Cao, give him a stick of incense!" ”

Guo Huai glanced at it, this incense is a good incense, it is a tribute from the Western Regions, but now Guo Huai's arms have been lit by Adou, and he can't use incense at all.

After a while, Guo Huai blushed and said, "I can't move my arm." ”

"Hehehe, how did I forget!" Adou smiled, stretched out his hand to Guo Huai's shoulder, and explained the acupoint for Guo Huai.

All this was done very naturally, but in the eyes of those ministers in the distance, Adou just patted Guo Huai on the shoulder as if he was very pleased.

"Hey, Guo Huai, you see, since I took Luoyang, the person who came to guard Cao Cao's tomb also ran away, you see, the surrounding area is already overgrown with weeds, you can come and clean up when you have time!" Adou's voice was not loud, only Guo Huai could hear it.

Guo Huai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Adou Hulu, but out of loyalty to Cao Cao, Guo Huai hesitated for a moment and said, "If you are willing to let me come, then leave it to me!" ”

"Hehehe, okay, then I'll leave it to you Guo Huai!" Adou's words, with full strength, were heard clearly by everyone around.

Far away, in the crowd.

"Hey, did you see it, isn't that Guo Huai?"

"Well, yes, it's Guo Huai, why is he by His Majesty's side? His Majesty even patted him on the shoulder! ”

"Stupid, can't you see this, Guo Huai has already surrendered to Your Majesty!"

"Really? Guo Huai surrendered? There was no news before! ”

"Didn't you listen to what Your Majesty said just now, if you hand over something to Guo Huai, you must have given Guo Huai a big errand. If Guo Huai didn't surrender, why did His Majesty give Guo Huai an errand? Besides, did you see that His Majesty patted Guo Huai on the shoulder just now? You and I are honored by this! It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to Guo Huai! There was a hint of jealousy in the man's tone.

"Yes, that's right! Guo Huai was still stubborn before, but now it's not a surrender! ”

"What do you know, this is the trend of the times, you look at the current situation, Wei is surrounded by enemies on all sides, it is almost gone, the big ship of Wei is sinking, why should those courtiers be drowned together on it."

The discussion of several courtiers quickly spread in the crowd, and the content of this discussion was also captured by some well-intentioned people.

All kinds of speculations are circulating among this group of people, but there is one thing that everyone has agreed on, that is, Guo Huai has surrendered!

Soon, the news of Guo Huai's surrender spread in Luoyang City.

……

Since Sima Yi withdrew from Xiangyang, 6 Xun immediately occupied the Xiangfan line, and immediately after, Sun Quan took out some people from Jiaozhou and Jingnan and attacked Jiangxia. Jiangxia only had 500 defenders, and it was a lonely city, so he immediately chose not to stand and surrender, and Shunquan successfully recaptured Jiangxia.

In Jiangxia and Nanyang, the Wu army was victorious, but only in the east, on the side where Sun Quan himself led the troops, he did not take an inch of land, and now he is still holding the truth near Huaiyin.

Sun Quan was already very anxious, attacking Cao Wei in four ways, the Han army also captured Wuguan, and 6 Xun also captured Xiangyang, but he had no results, this comparison, Sun Quan suddenly felt that he was not as good as Adou and 6 Sun, which was unbearable for Sun Quan, who was very competitive.

So Sun Quan attacked Cao Zhen several times, but in the face of the Wei army's tiger and leopard cavalry and the elite of the Qingzhou soldiers, the Jiangdong army did not get the slightest benefit, and after a few inconsequential small defeats, Sun Quan also realized that he was too anxious.

Soochow Barracks.

Sun Hao hurriedly walked in, "Your Majesty, there is a Wei general outside, named Biqiu Jian." ”

"General Wei? But the messenger sent by Cao Zhen? Sun Quan asked.

"Your Majesty, not a messenger, he said he came to surrender to Your Majesty."

"Surrender to me? Why? Sun Quan asked in confusion, since the start of the war, although there have been Wei generals who have surrendered, but they have all surrendered after being captured by Sun Quan, and they are the first ones who take the initiative to surrender like this.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired, and it is like this. This Biqiu Jian escorted grain and grass to Huaiyin, but because the road was blocked due to heavy rain, the road was blocked, so it was half a day late, and Cao Zhen beat Biqiu Jian fifty boards because of this, and also removed Biqiu Jian's official position. In a fit of rage, he came to us. Sun Hao replied.

"Well, what position did this Biqiu Jian occupy when he was in Cao Ying?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this Biqiu Jian used to be Shang Shulang."

"Shang Shulang, it's not small, bring it to see me!"

After a while, Biqiu Jian was brought up, and at this time, Biqiu Jian had just finished beating fifty boards for a few days, and he was still twisting and twisting when he walked.

Biqiu Jian walked into the tent, and looked up to see a middle-aged man in a brocade robe sitting in the middle, with golden purple eyes, who must be the legendary Sun Quan.

"Biqiu Jian has seen Your Majesty." Biqiu Jian hurriedly knelt down.

"Well, get up!" Sun Quan waved his hand, and then asked, "Biqiu Jian, I ask you, why did you surrender to me?" ”

"Your Majesty, that Cao Zhen doesn't divide rewards and punishments, I encountered heavy rain in transporting grain, and the road was blocked, it was already day and night, or half a day late, and that Cao Zhen didn't listen to my explanation at all, so he beat me fifty boards. All the soldiers in the tent knew that this matter was not my fault and pleaded for me, but this Cao Zhen withdrew from my official position on the grounds that I did not repent and formed a party for personal gain. ”

Sun Quan nodded, and looked at Biqiu Jian again, there was nothing amazing about Biqiu Jian now, so he said expressionlessly: "Oh, that's the case, it looks like your injury is not healed, right, then you go down to rest first, and when the injury is healed, I am arranging for you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Biqiu Jian bowed to Sun Quan, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I will bring something from Cao Ying and present it to Your Majesty. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of buffalo leather from his bosom and handed it to the attendant, who presented it to Sun Quan.

"Your Majesty, this is Cao Jun's defense map." Biqiu Jian said.

"Oh?" Sun Quan is happy, this is a good thing for Sun Quan. Sun Quan opened the defense map and looked at it, only to find that the so-called defense map was very sloppy, and Sun Quan couldn't understand it at all.

"Your Majesty, the last general was in a very hurry when he came out, and he didn't have time to draw in detail, so it was a little sloppy, and I ask Your Majesty's permission to let the last general be one or two." Biqiu Jian noticed Sun Quan's expression and immediately said.

"Well, it's okay, you can come and tell me about it." Sun Quan nodded and agreed.

Biqiu Jian limped forward and began to explain the drawings he had drawn to Sun Quan.

"Your Majesty, please see, here is the big tent of the Chinese army, and Cao Zhen lives here...... This is Zhang Hu's camp, this Zhang Hu is the son of Zhang Liao, and he is also quite brave...... And this is Chen Tai's defense area, this is Leqi's big camp......" Biqiu Jian said while gesturing, and Sun Quan would interject a few words from time to time.

"What is this place?" Sun Quan pointed to one of the points and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is the place where Cao Jun is stockpiling grain!"

"Where to store grain?" Sun Quan nodded very seriously, and began to look for flaws on the road leading to the grain storage site.

"Your Majesty, the last general had escorted grain and grass before, and he was very familiar with this place where grain was stored. And the last general also knows that there is a small road that can bypass Cao Zhen's camp and reach here! ”

"Path? Is this true? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, what the last general said is absolutely true, if Your Majesty needs it, the last general can personally lead the way!"

Sun Quan's eyes flashed, the so-called three armies did not move the grain and grass first, if they could use a surprise army all the way to take Cao Zhen's grain and grass, Cao Zhen would definitely be defeated.

"Hehehehe...... God help me! Sun Quan suddenly laughed, he didn't expect this god to give himself such a good opportunity!

……

Wancheng.

Bad news came one after another, and Sima Yida had a feeling of being anxious.

First, the Han army captured Tongguan, and at that time, Sima Yi was shocked by the strength of the Han army, but when he heard that Guo Huai had escaped, he was still a little happy in his heart. The Han army captured Tongguan and relied on a variety of sharp siege weapons, and these siege weapons, especially large siege weapons, were difficult to transport to Luoyang in a short time. As long as Guo Huai is here, he must be able to stay in Luoyang for a few days.

However, Sima Yi only rejoiced for a day, and received the news that Wei Yan led 500 elite soldiers to Luoyang City, Henan Yin, Luoyang City Guard Cheng Wu Kaicheng surrendered, and by the way, Guo Huai was tied up and dedicated to Wei Yan.

In two days, Tongguan and Luoyang were lost in a row, and Sima Yi couldn't imagine that there would be worse news than this. The loss of Luoyang is a huge blow to Sima Yi, the southeast of Luoyang is Yingchuan, the southwest is Nanyang, Luoyang is lost, Sima Yi fell into unprecedented passivity.

However, at this time, Sima Yi felt that he could still hold on to Wancheng for some days.

The sky gradually darkened, Sima Yi put down the pen in his hand, walked out of the room, looked at the stars in the sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving bad news for two days in a row, Sima Yi's nerves were already a little allergic, Sima Yi was afraid that he would receive any bad news today, but fortunately, it was dark, and it seemed that there would be no news today.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from a distance, and Sima Yi's heart suddenly trembled, and his eyes looked directly in the direction of the sound.
