Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 102 The Assassination (I)
Sun Deng ordered Huang Hao to arrange for Sima Zhao to stay. [ ] It is obvious that Sima Zhao is being taken hostage. If Sima Yi surrendered peacefully, everything would be easy to say, if Sima Yi wanted to play any tricks, this Sima Zhao would definitely be in danger.
Sima Zhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Sun Deng's intentions. Sima Zhao didn't say anything, and after thanking him one after another, he retreated with the eunuch.
Seeing Sima Zhao go out, Sun Deng suddenly asked, "Huang Hao, do you think, does this Sima Yi really surrender?" β
"Your Majesty, he Sima Yi sent his sons over, and he must have surrendered sincerely." Huang Hao hurriedly replied.
"Well, if he Sima Yi really wants to surrender, I will not be stingy with rewards. With Sima Yi's help, I can dominate the country and the country is just around the corner. β
β¦β¦
Huaibei.
6 Xun led a group of generals and stood in front of the gate of the camp.
Quan Cong gently pushed Zhang Cheng and said, "What do you say Your Majesty is thinking, why did you suddenly come to the front line?" β
"I don't know." Zhang Cheng shook his head: "But I guess Your Majesty is in a hurry, so he came to the front line to supervise the battle." Looks like we're going to have to work harder. β
As he spoke, Sun Deng's guard of honor had already appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty is here, go. We're going to meet you. β
β¦β¦
In the tent, Sun Deng sat in the middle, and a group of generals sat respectfully below.
"How's the war going?" Sun Deng asked.
6 Xun was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and he has not yet broken through the Huaibei camp, but Sima Yi's side is already in danger, and if you give the minister three or five days, you will definitely be able to break through the Huaibei camp." β
"No need." Sun Deng waved his hand: "You don't have to fight first." β
"Don't fight? Your Majesty, this ...... "6 Xun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Please forgive your majesty, the minister is incompetent, but Sima Yi's guy is really powerful, and the soldiers have done their best." β
"Let's pause for a moment, I have other plans."
"Your Majesty, this ......"
"Suspend the attack first, and I will send someone to Sima Yi."
β¦β¦
Sima Yi gently shook the fan in his hand.
It's not that Sima Yi is surrounded by elegance, in fact, the weather in Huaibei is really a bit hot.
"General, I just found out the news that Sun Deng has come to Huaibei."
"Can you find out?"
"Don't worry, the general, what I saw in person, Sun Deng's honor guard, there is absolutely no problem, and the last general dares to guarantee with his life."
"En......" Sima Yi nodded: "It seems that Zishan has already seen Sun Deng, I didn't expect this Sun Deng to have the courage to come in person, if I don't give him some meeting gifts, it seems that my Sima Yi is a child." β
Sima Yi was thinking. The junior colonel rushed over: "Report to the general, there is a person outside, claiming to be a messenger sent by Sun Deng, called Zhuge Ke, asking to see the general." β
"Zhuge Ke? I know, it's Zhuge Jin's son. Ask him to come over. β
β¦β¦
6 Xun looked at Sima Yi who came across in surprise.
Speaking of 6 Xun and Sima Yi, it can be said that they have been grudges for a long time. The two fought from Jingzhou to Huainan. 6 Xun attacked several times, but was blocked by Sima Yi.
But now, the Huaibei battalion, which has not been able to attack for a long time, has planted the banner of Eastern Wu, and Sima Yi, the sworn enemy who has fought for so many years, stands in front of him like this.
All this came too fast, so fast that 6 Xun didn't even react, Sima Yi, the pillar of the Wei State, just dropped!
Next to him, Zhuge Jin secretly glanced at 6 Xun, and 6 Xun's slightly dazed eyes made Zhuge Jin feel a little helpless.
6 Xun's strategy is definitely first-class, but politically. 6 Sun is indeed not shrewd enough. Perhaps it was the result of leading troops for a long time, and for the battle in the court, 6 Xun still lacked shrewdness.
"Hey......" Zhuge Jin sighed helplessly. Sima Yi is here, and in the future, this Jiangdong will be lively.
β¦β¦
In the past, the Huaibei camp of Wei State has now become Sun Deng's station.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, a huge map was hung high, and the courtiers in the tent hated to naturally divide into two piles. One is the original Jiangdong team of 6 Xunwei, and on the other side is Sima Yi and others who have just surrendered.
"Now that Liu Chan has captured most of Yanzhou, and Yingchuan Xiahou Ba has also surrendered to Liu Chan, how do you think Aiqing should deal with it now?" Sun Deng said with a smile on his face.
6 Xun was the first to come out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should immediately lead the troops, carry Xuzhou on his back, and capture Qingxu." Only Runan, Yuzhou, only needs to send a partial division all the way to cooperate with the headquarters of Lu Dai in Jingzhou, which can be easily captured. β
"Well, Qingxu Erzhou must be won. However, Peng Cheng and Xiapi, looking at each other across the water, are each other's horns, and it seems that they have to think about it again. β
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to capture Xuzhou for Your Majesty." Sima Yi suddenly walked out.
"Sima Aiqing took the initiative to ask Ying, presumably there must be a good plan?"
"Your Majesty, Xuzhou Thorn History, was once a protΓ©gΓ© of the minister, and the minister is willing to say that he surrendered to him. Your Majesty can take Xuzhou without a single soldier. Sima Yi continued.
"Yes." Sun Deng nodded, since the Cao Cao era, Sima Yi has been deeply used, and after Cao Pi ascended the throne, Sima Yi was even more of a hundred officials, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials were all over the Wei State. According to Sima Yi, Xuzhou Thorn Shi is Sima Yi's protΓ©gΓ©, and maybe he can really take Xuzhou without a fight.
"The matter of Xuzhou, I will hand it over to Sima Aiqing, as for Runan, it will be annoying for the general to come out."
Beside him, Zhuge Jin frowned slightly when he heard Sun Deng's arrangement, and then immediately relaxed.
"Is Your Majesty ready to start weakening the forces of the 6 Suns?" Zhuge Jin peeked at Sima Yi and 6 Xun, and a trace of unease rose in his heart.
β¦β¦
Yecheng.
Far away, a carriage came far to the foot of Yecheng City, on the car, there was a high-quality coffin, and next to it, there were several Taoist priests, holding copper bells in their hands, were shaking, and the crisp copper bells were floating around. The snow-white canvas hanging on the car fluttered in the wind, looking so desolate.
"Stop, stop coming!" The city keeper drank the carriage and looked at it carefully. A horse is a good horse, a chariot is a good car, and even the coffin is made of the finest wood. It looks like it's a big family's car.
However, this cemetery is all outside the city, even the princes and nobles are no exception, so on weekdays only the dead are transported from the city to the outside of the city, but never to the city. This came as a great surprise to the officials guarding the city.
"Who are you? Why did you get the coffin here? β
A man dressed as a Taoist priest walked up and said, "This military master." Poor Dao was entrusted by someone to transport this coffin, and by the way, he also did some Dharma for the people in this coffin. β
"Who's in the coffin?"
"Inside the coffin is the corpse of Cao Zhen, the general of your country."
"What?" The officers defending the city immediately drew their weapons.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." The Taoist priest saw that the other party was about to turn his face, and then said: "Poor Dao and others are entrusted by the Han lord to send the general's body back to Yecheng, and General Cao killed himself, so the Han lord confessed to send General Cao's body to Yecheng." The body of the great general has been treated with lime, and along the way, we have also done seven hundred and forty-nine rituals to save the soul of General Cao. β
The official guarding the city looked at the coffin, and then looked at the Taoist priest's serious appearance, and wanted to open the museum to check it, but then thought about his grade and didn't seem to have that power, so he pointed to the Taoist priest in the lead: "You wait here now, I'll go in and report." β
β¦β¦
The news of Cao Zhen's annihilation had reached Yecheng a few days ago. However, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, compared with the previous rumors, now Cao Zhen's body has been transported to Yecheng, but it really shows that Cao Zhen is dead. The news that Cao Zhen's body was sent back spread like a plague in Yecheng, and the entire Yecheng was a lifeless place.
On the surface, Adou sent Cao Zhen's corpse back as a sign of respect for Cao Zhen, but some scheming people can see that Adou is hitting Cao Wei's morale. Cao Zhen is the pillar of the Wei State, and there is nothing more than Cao Zhen's death to hit the morale of the Wei State.
Cao Rong sat alone in the empty hall, staring ahead with dull eyes.
The little eunuch stood on tiptoe, walked over to look, and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has come down." β
Cao Rong didn't react, his eyes were still looking ahead, and the little eunuch had to amplify his voice and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan asks to see you." β
"Ugh. What did you say? Cao Rong came back to his senses at this time.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan asks to see you."
"Oh, Uncle Huang is here, let him in."
The little eunuch in the mouth of the Yan King, named Cao Yu, was born to Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan, when Cao Pi ascended the throne, Cao Yu was still young, and he was not a threat to Cao Pi, so he was able to save a life, and then when Cao Rong ascended the throne, Cao Yu was named the King of Yan.
Cao Yu strode in, and just happened to see Cao Rong with a haggard face, and then Cao Yu hurriedly bowed down: "Minister Cao Yu, see Your Majesty." β
"Uncle Huang exempts from gifts, and gives ...... to sit"
After Cao Yu sat down, he looked at Cao Ei's pale face, and a sense of helplessness rose from his heart.
"Hey, Uncle Huang, the general is dead, the prime minister has been demoted, and the state has also been lost, and my hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out in an instant. It's all my fault. If I hadn't sent a general to Luoyang, but had chosen to continue to hold on and wait for the opportunity, I wouldn't be where I am today...... It's my fault......"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to blame yourself, it's not that our soldiers don't do their best, it'......s that the enemy is too cunning," Cao Yu hurriedly persuaded.
"Hey, Sima Yi is still in Huaibei now, Zhong Miao is sick at home, no one else is familiar with military affairs, and there is not even a person to discuss with me. Alone, hehe, I'm a real loner now. A wry smile appeared on Cao Rong's face.
"Your Majesty......" Cao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." β
"It's all at this time, what else should not be said, Uncle Huang has a way, just say it."
"Your Majesty, why don't you follow the example of Prince Yan Dan of the past?"
"Prince Yan Dan? Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin! You mean to assassinate Liu Chan! Cao Rong reacted immediately.
