Luoyang Palace, Jiafu Palace

"Bastard!" With a loud shout in the palace, the eunuchs, palace maids and attendants in the entire hall immediately knelt down with a "poof", they (she) trembled and prostrate on the ground, buried their heads deep and almost flush with the floor tiles, everyone held their breath in horror, and the whole hall was silent for a moment.

Only the angry roar of Emperor Cao Rong could be heard clearly, floating in the wind inside and outside this magnificent palace.

A bamboo slip was clutched in his hand, Cao Rong's expression was distorted, and he roared hysterically: "Liu Jing! His heart can be punished! ”

As the news of the defeat of the great general Cao Zhen spread in Luoyang, many people with ill intentions, cold-eyed bystanders and gloating people were waiting to see themselves and see the jokes of the Great Wei.

This feeling, such a feeling of losing the control of a huge country, made Cao Rong, who was the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, surprisingly angry, so angry that he had a deep fear.

Zhongshu supervisor, to the matter, Wei Shouting Marquis Liu Fang stood under the steps, quietly watching the emperor go crazy, Liu Jing's resignation of the official Song Shu arrived in the Zhongshu, and after the Zhongshu Ling Sun Ziyi was combined, Liu Fang immediately presented the Song Shu to Cao Rong.

Cao Rong's face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Immediately send Cui Lin, the captain of the edict, and order him to immediately arrest Henan Yin Liu Jing and put him in prison, Liu Jing, I want him to die!" ”

(Cao Wei's division is different from that of the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei's Sizhou does not include Sanfu, and only governs Pingyang County, Henan Yin, Hongnong County, Hedong County, and Hanoi County, which are basically several counties around Luoyang)

The emperor was on the verge of going berserk, but Liu Fang was still not in a hurry, although Sizhou was rich, but he also knew that it was really difficult for a strong man to forcibly levy an army of 200,000 troops in just five counties, and it was purely to catch ducks on the shelves.

Compared with Hanoi County and Hedong County, in fact, Pingyang Taishou Sima Wang has done a good job, at least the gap of people will not move, and tens of thousands. With Sima Wang's experience, Liu Jing, who knew that he couldn't complete the task, actually picked it directly, and said that he didn't want it, but Liu Fang admired Liu Jing for seeing it.

Bowing slightly, Liu Fang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please rest the wrath of the thunder, the previous general went on the expedition, the imperial court has requisitioned the Tuntian soldiers near Luoyang and Xuchang, and the tuntian soldiers under the command of the captains of the tuntian have been withdrawn, and now the requisition again is tantamount to exhausting the fish." In addition, the heart of Sizhou is the foundation of the country, and I ask Your Majesty to be sympathetic to the people and not to shake the foundation of the country. ”

"Be sympathetic to the people's strength, don't shake the country's foundation, it sounds good!" Cao Rong spread his hands and said hurriedly: "Zhongshu supervisor, you know that Guanzhong has fallen into the hands of thieves, and Sun Quan is eyeing Da Sima (Cao Xiu) in Hefei again. It's not that I'm tyrannical, it's really that the situation in Dawei is so dangerous right now, I ...... I can't care so much about it! ”

Liu Fang's voice was not slow, and he continued to persuade: "There is a mistake in the pass, the minister understands that His Majesty is anxious and can't sleep at night, but even if His Majesty sends Liu Jing, Sima Wang and others to prison for questioning, it will not help, and these people's relatives and friends are all ministers of the imperial court, once they are not handled properly, it may cause panic among the people of the government and the opposition, and the ministers are worried about the people's hearts and minds for Your Majesty......"

After being silent for a long time, Cao Rong rubbed his temples with a headache, took a long sigh of relief, and sighed: "That's it, that's it, you all go out, let me be alone for a while......"

"The minister retired." Liu Fang didn't say anything more, and immediately bowed down and retired.

The next moment, the palace maids and eunuchs also left like a low tide.

Out of the Jiafu Palace, Liu Fang quickly turned back to the Chinese book, and as soon as he stepped into the public house, Sun Zi asked the Chinese book buried in the case: "How is it?" ”

Sideways to avoid the clerk who was holding the paperwork and going in and out, Liu Fang flicked his sleeves and walked around in front of Sun Ziji's case, bowed his head slightly, and gently spit out two words in his mouth: "It's done!" ”

Hearing the word "become", the corners of Sun Zi's mouth quietly involved a sly smile, taking people's money, of course, to eliminate disasters for others.

Liu Jing, a smart choice............

*******************

Since he was appointed to supervise the military forces of Longyou and Liangzhou, Zhao Yunhui, the general of Zhendong, together with Ma Dai and Deng Zhi, set off from Chencang with a total of 10,000 foot riders, and attacked Xinping, Guangwei and Tianshui counties along the way.

Among the five counties of Longyou, Tianshui is too shou Ma Zun, Xinping is too shou Huang Fulin and Guangwei is too shou Wang Yun to present the edition, and the county is surrendered.

Tianshui County, the east gate of Ji County

Under the city gate, a straight and slender, loess-covered official road leads straight to the sky.

Tianshui was too guarded by Ma Zun and dressed neatly and stood in front of everyone.

Behind Ma Zun, Gong Cao Liang Xu, the chief bookkeeper Yin Xian, and the county army Jiang Wei and other large and small county officials lined up, also wearing new official uniforms, waiting silently.

"It's coming, it's coming, the Shu army has arrived!" There were sharp-eyed people in the crowd, who suddenly pointed to the east and shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction that the man was pointing, and sure enough, under the eastern sky in the distance, a billowing cloud of smoke and dust was sweeping in, like a sandstorm, and it was obvious that a large group of people were marching.

Ma Zun's displeased gaze swept around his assistant, and corrected sharply: "How many times have I said it, it's not the Shu army, it's the Han army, the Han army!" ”

The thick smoke and dust rolled faster and faster, rolling thicker and thicker, and soon swept in, and in the thick dust and smoke, a graceful veteran with a silver helmet and silver armor and a silver dragon spear rushed out first.

Ma Zun didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately led a group of county officials to bow down: "Tianshui County Ma Zun, I would like to lead the county officials to greet General Zhao!" ”

When the "Pilot~" mount was approaching, Zhao Yun pulled the reins, collected the gun and immediately put it in front of Ma Zunyi and others.

Yu immediately bowed slightly, and Zhao Yun said indifferently: "There is Laoming Mansion." ”

"How dare you, how dare you," Ma Zun smiled on his face, and extended his hand to ask: "The contemptible people have prepared a little wine in the county government to wash the dust for General Zhao and the generals, and Lao Zun has moved into the city." ”

Zhao Yun's vigorous face was as serious as ever, waved his hand, and refused: "I was ordered to pacify Longyou, the military situation is like fire, and Ma Taishou's kindness Yun Xin has received it." ”

"As for wine and food, the Ming Mansion can prepare some for the use of the army."

Ma Zun said with a smile: "Since the general is worried about the king's division, it is not easy for the lower officials to be reluctant, as for the wine and food of the labor army, the lower officials immediately sent someone to prepare it." ”

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Zhao Yun said as he crossed over Ma Zun and looked at Liang Xu and Yin Xian, "In addition, after our army camped outside the city, I asked the Ming Mansion to lead the adjutant to the army to discuss the ......."

Zhao Yun's gaze swept over Liang Xu and Yin Xian's faces one by one, and when he saw Jiang Wei, who was starry and moon-eyed and dignified, his heart suddenly perked, and he immediately asked Ma Zundao: "Who is this?" ”

Ma Zun looked at Jiang Wei who Zhao Yun was pointing at, and then replied with a smile: "This son is the Gongcao of this county, Jiang Wei, and the word Boyo." ”

Zhao Yun looked Jiang Wei up and down, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this son was extraordinary, and finally showed appreciation, and exclaimed: "The countryman is unparalleled, Jiang Boyo is really a beautiful young man!" ”
