At Zou's place, Liu Yuan was extremely happy, and after the, as soon as the excitement passed, endless exhaustion came rushing in. Liu Yuan's body is really not good, and there are some beauties who can't cover him.

dragged a little less Jingyuan's body, Liu Yuan still had to go back to the palace, and he didn't take care of politics for a day, and it was estimated that the Xuanshu Hall had a lot of twists and turns that needed his approval, and he had to go back to the palace to work overtime.

Before leaving, Zou mentioned to Liu Yuan the release of Zhang Xiu from prison, but flatly refused. didn't kill him, it was already Liu Yuan's soft-heartedness, and if he released it again, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, with Liu Yuan's care, in addition to having no freedom, Zhang Xiu still had a good life in prison. In the huge prison, he is the only one who is specially like he is on vacation, he is raised to be white and fat, and occasionally he can let out the wind and bask in the sun by the prison wall.

After Liu Yuan returned to the palace, Zhang Rang walked on his old legs, and very vigorously proposed Tang Mao's son from the black-clothed guard prison, with an iron face, and led people straight to the Tang Mansion.

Although it was curfew, all the squares in Chang'an were closed, and the guards of the city guards were occasionally dangling between the squares. The black-clothed guards have their own privileges, and with the "edict" to act, Zhang Weng personally went out, and the city guards led the inspection and let him go.

At this time, in the Tang Mansion, Tang Mao was anxious with his eldest son Tang Yan for his youngest son. Tang Zhen has been missing for a whole day, as a qualified gentleman, Tang Zhen often has bad deeds of not returning home at night, but he will also inform his family.

Now there was no news of him, not even his servants, and he sent men to look for him in the places he frequented, but there was no trace of him.

Since Xitou Hu Xia, with the ability to drill camps, plus the Tang concubine who is sometimes favored by Liu Yuan in the palace, Tang Mao's family has mixed well in Chang'an. In Chang'an, he Tang was also an upper-class nobleman. After the death of Concubine Tang's son, Liu Yuan wanted to comfort him with kindness, but was politely refused. This gift was also given to the Tang family, and Tang Mao was promoted to the position of counselor and entered the Marquis of Wuyang.

But at this moment, Tang Mao was already a little apprehensive in his heart, Tang Zhen must have committed it in someone's hands. While worrying about what great character that the gentleman had offended, Tang Mao got the subordinates to hurry up, and Da Changqiu Zhang Weng came to the door in person and coerced the second son.

hurriedly went out of the mansion to greet him, in the entire Great Xia, no one dared to look down on Zhang Rang, especially the black-clothed guard who controlled the emperor's minions.

"I don't know what happened to Zhang Weng at night?" Tang Mao eagerly welcomed Zhang Rang into the mansion, and then pointed to Tang Zhen, who was bound and struggling, and asked, "If Xiao'er offends Zhang Weng somewhere, I hope to forgive my sins." Is it too much to come to the door with such a rope? ”

Seeing that Tang Mao was still testing with himself softly and hard, Zhang Rang sneered, and the folds on his old face trembled. said very coldly: "I live in the palace all the year round, so the prince has no chance to offend me!" ”

"There is a noble person who ordered me to deal with Ling Gongzi!"

"That ......"

Zhang Rang was in a bad mood, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Tang Mao, and told Tang Zhen what he had done, and faintly mentioned the identity of the Zou family and the "person behind it".

Hearing this, Tang Mao's face turned a little pale, and with his shrewdness, he naturally understood what was going on. For the sake of a woman, Zhang Rang can be personally dispatched, and the man behind this is no one else except the emperor.

invited Zhang Rang to a small room and ordered someone to offer 10,000 gold, and Tang Mao's previous arrogance had already dissipated without a trace: "Zhang Weng, this matter is already clear." The child is not good, commits a big mistake, and collides with the noble. But if you don't know, please rest assured that Zhang Weng will be strictly disciplined in the future! ”

Zhang Rang didn't even look at the high-grade gold, and stared at Tang Mao contemptuously: "I came to the door in person, but I didn't come to listen to Tang Gong's assurance!" ”

frowned: "The lower official whipped him with family law and grounded for one year?" ”

Zhang Rang still looked at him indifferently.

With a flash of ruthlessness, Tang Mao also asked in a cold voice: "Xiaguan broke this rebel's leg!" Don't let him leave the house again in this life! ”

"Tang Gong's heart is ruthless!" Zhang Rang's expression finally moved a little, and he looked at Tang Mao: "In this way, wouldn't it make Ling Gongzi jealous of me and ......?"

"Zhang Weng said it directly! What are you going to do with your child? ”

"How many sons does Tang Gong have?"

"Three sons!"

"Since there are other heirs to inherit, it doesn't hurt to have one less son!" Zhang Rang "Wen Shan" said with a smile.

When Tang Mao heard this, his face became even paler, almost bloodless.

......

A turmoil in the shadows ended with Tang Zhen's death. Knowing the result from Zhang Rang's mouth, Liu Yuan just let out a faint "oh", and he didn't think that Zhang Rang could handle it too much.

was forced to "eat" once, Tang Mao was distraught, fell seriously ill, and soon resigned, Liu Yuan allowed it. What ambitions, all ideas, are gone. The Tang family, which was "very prosperous", fell silent and closed its doors. However, they are still relatives of the emperor and the country, and no one will bully them for no reason.

Tang Mao, of course, didn't have any serious illness, he was just afraid. He was more afraid of the fall of the Tang clan than the death of his son.

Of course, Liu Yuan would not put his mind on a small role like Tang Mao. His attention quickly turned to Chu Han's side, this year, the land of Jingxiang, but it was lively.

Cao Cao's previous strategy of attacking the south from the north was still very effective, and it was not that there were no talented people in the south to raise questions, but Chu and Wu were fighting a bloody battle on the front line of Xiakou, holding each other back, and there was no time to look north.

Posture of going north, and then left the son Cao Ang to supervise the country, Cao Cao personally led the army, directly west to Yingchuan, out of Kunyang, across the Lishui, and took Ye County. After that, he advanced strongly, pulled out Bowang, waded through the water, and hit Wancheng directly.

On the Jiangxia side, in the face of the threat of the Wu army led by Zhou Yu, a lot of troops were mobilized from Nanyang to reinforce it. Cao Cao came south and claimed to be 100,000, in addition to the auxiliary soldiers of the people, there were more than 40,000 elite troops in Cao Wei's army.

The Wei army came with the momentum of Mount Tai crushing the egg, and Chu Nanyang guarded Han Song and Cai Zhong, the general of the Fu army who unified the army, with a weak army, which was difficult to resist at all. Suddenly attacked, the reaction was at a loss, and then Cai Zhong abandoned the fortified city and fled without a fight, and was finally caught up by Wei general Cao Xiu with 3,000 light soldiers and awarded the head.

Wancheng is down, too guarding Han Song, descending. The southern yang of Chu and Han suddenly became an erosive trend, with Sun Wu in the east, and strong Wei in the north attacked, and the hearts of Chu and Han fluctuated for a while.

Easily went south to Wancheng, poured Cao Cao's surprise, and took advantage of the time when Chu was unable to respond, and personally led the army south along the water. The land of Jingbei is also a flat river, and Cao's army marched very smoothly, even capturing Thorn Yang and Yuyang. Until he took advantage of the situation to attack Bowang, he refused to defend Guan Yu.

In the face of this imminent threat, he didn't care about scolding Cao Wei for being insidious, the Chu and Han courts reacted very quickly this time, and Liu Biao dragged his sick body to arrange the affairs of the Northern Imperial Wei. Cai Mao, who had previously been defeated by Chaisang, was activated again to recruit soldiers from the entire Jingbei, and the tribes of the various warriors were also forcibly recruited and sent to Xinye.

Fortunately, the Jingxiang water veins were vertical and horizontal, which hindered Cao Wei's march slowly, and the Wei army went south to fight quickly and quickly, and it was too southward, so that the back road was unstable. After attacking Xinye, Cao Cao temporarily withdrew his troops and sent troops to take down the northern counties to clear them and ensure the transportation of military grain and grass.

This time, the king of Wei did not want to retreat lightly.
