It turned out that almost at the same time as Liu Feng learned the news of Cao Cao's death, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan also learned about it, and in the face of such a major news, the two of them also learned that Cao Cao was indeed killed in Luoyang, and Cao Cao's heir also fell into the hands of Cao Zhi, but the specific situation of Wei State, the two did not know.

Because Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had been fighting for the position of heir for a long time, Cao Wei's internal affairs were once very chaotic, especially after Cao Pi and Zhang Liao returned to Yecheng triumphantly, Cao Cao was already seriously ill and bedridden, and Yecheng and several other Cao Wei towns were reduced to a battlefield of wrestling between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi.

It was based on this judgment that Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan judged almost at the same time that Cao Wei must be in chaos at this time, even if Cao Zhi temporarily gained the upper hand, it would be impossible for him to bring all the capable ministers who supported Cao Pi under his command, and Cao Cao's death must be inevitable, so he leaked the news and let them know.

So, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan both made the decision to send troops, but unlike Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, who has always been cautious, decided not to take possible risks after thinking about it, because he still has a very big advantage in the protracted war of trying to plot Jiangdong territory, so he doesn't want to give up this advantage, after all, Jiangdong is a relatively fertile and difficult to defend territory, compared to the head of the road to the north, Obviously, it is more suitable for Zhuge Liang, who needs a quiet place to recuperate and wait for his true lord Liu Chan to grow up.

After convincing Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang waved his hand, so that Zhang Fei and his 20,000 horses set off from Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang's advice to Zhang Fei in this war is that once Lu Xun gets Hefei and then goes north, he will cut off Lu Xun's back road and seize Hefei, in order to form an encirclement with Jiangdong.

In short, the capture of Hefei, Zhang Fei's battle was considered a success, and the reason why Zhang Fei was only given 20,000 elite soldiers was because Guan Yu laid a heavy army in Jiangdong, resulting in Zhuge Liang's hands being overstretched with soldiers and horses.

Watching Zhang Fei lead the army away, Zhuge Liang sighed, looked at the flowing clouds rushing by in the sky, and showed a tired attitude in front of his subordinates, he felt like a carriage that could never stop, he wanted to do his best to leave a stable land and subjects to the son of the lord who had worked tirelessly in the mountains three times to see him, only in this way could he make peace in his heart.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had already learned that Zhou Yu did not defect to Liu Feng, but entrusted Lu Su and the other three to Liu Feng and then went away alone, Zhuge Liang didn't want to live a life like Zhou Yu at this time, but although he was much younger than Zhou Yu, he didn't have Zhou Yu's freedom no matter what.

In this stunned moment, the cloud he saw in the middle did not know where to go, Zhuge Liang looked at the time, and knew that his time to teach Liu Chan had come. In addition to going on the expedition, no matter how complicated the government affairs and wars are, Zhuge Liang never stopped, his dream is that Liu Chan will become a more outstanding hero in troubled times than Liu Feng after his teaching, and then personally take Liu Bei's will to unify this chaotic world, and help the Han Dynasty that has long existed in name only.

Just three days after these three forces were moving in different ways but with the same purpose from different directions to the land of Cao Wei, Cao Zhi, who had returned to Yecheng to sit in the town, was sitting upright on the court, and a group of civil and military forces in front of the hall were lined up on both sides, almost no different from when Cao Cao was still there.

But looking closely at the civil and military forces in this queue, many of the Cao clan generals who were originally very close to Cao Pi were not among them, and instead were generals like Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Le Jin, who had nothing to do with the Cao family, and the civil officials mostly followed the team left by Cao Cao, but Yang Xiu, who had been with Cao Zhi's life and death before, was obviously already in a high position this time, and was standing in the front row with his head held high.

For Yang Xiu, although Cao Zhi also knew some of his shortcomings, his two advantages: intelligence and loyalty, were enough to make him stand here.

Behind a group of Wenchen, a very low-key figure bowed his head was standing there a little abruptly, as if he was a little out of place with others, and in the eyes of others looking at him, there was mostly a look of disdain, and he was actually one of the important figures in Cao Pi's array before, Sima Yi. Most of the people in the court didn't know why Cao Zhi only kept him, but the wood was already in the boat, and they could only let him stand here.

"Let's talk about the movements of Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan in the past few days."

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Cao Zhi waved his hand lightly and whispered to a guard standing in front of him who was holding a letter.

After a long time, the guard told all the movements of the three forces, and when the ministers heard it, they all looked embarrassed and talked about it.

According to the words of the guard, among the three forces, Liu Feng had already sent the vanguard Ma Chao to lead thousands of light horsemen out of Yangping Pass in Hanzhong, and the soldiers were directed at Yongzhou, and Sun Quan also sent Lu Xun, the governor of the right capital, to lead about 30,000 troops to take Hefei, obviously wanting to take advantage of Cao Cao's death to completely incorporate this place that had been conquered several times before but had not really taken it into his own hands.

However, Zhuge Liang's forces, the informant report only mentioned that Zhang Fei led 20,000 soldiers and horses out of Xiangyang, and then he didn't know where to go, the only thing that is certain is that he did not attack the land of Nanyang as before.

"Do you think that my father is newly dead, and my Wei State is facing such a situation, how should we deal with it?" Obviously, these ministers who have been busy with Cao Cao's funeral for these days are the first time they have heard of this, and even after Cao Zhi inherited the Wei State, this is also the first time that these ministers have been summoned to discuss matters, and the first time they have encountered such a crisis, it is also something that these civil and military forces have not thought of.

For a while, these ministers were all stunned on the spot, and no one dared to speak out for a while, after all, Cao Zhi was newly established, and everyone did not know his true nature, lest once he annoyed him, he would be killed on the first day.

Cao Zhi glanced at everyone, and then looked at Sima Yi, who was still bowing his head, and asked softly, "What does Mr. Zhongda think this matter should do?" ”
