Xuzhou, Xiapi City.

Cao Pi no longer has the same spirit as before, he has not closed his eyes for two consecutive days, and now Cao Ren's army has been defeated one after another, and the soldiers under his command have suffered heavy losses, and they have retreated repeatedly, and now they have retreated to the outer city of Xiapi, that is to say, the current Xiapi has come to the city, but there is no news of Sima Yi's reinforcements.

Especially the betrayal of Lejin in Langya City, which made his heart hang tightly, for fear that Jiang Gan would not be able to complete the mission and lead to the fall of Langya, in that case, his Xiapi City would be attacked by the enemy before and after, if this scene really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Liu and the thieves' 200,000 troops gathered, even if Sima Zhongda came with all his troops, could he save Xuzhou? What's more, how could Sima Zhongda give up the Japanese state that he had fought so hard to defeat and give up his full aid to us? Don't say it's him, I wouldn't do that if it were me. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Pi's face was even more full of disappointment, and he kept muttering: "This damn Liu He, I'm just the king, not the emperor, why are you killing me completely?" What does it have to do with you that I am king? Don't forget, you were on the throne at the beginning, or I won it for you, and now I'm just a county king, you can't stand it, is there a stingy person like you in this world? ”

Deng Zhan, who was on the side, heard this, and secretly sneered in his heart: "A guy who can't measure himself, with your strength, you still want to be the king?" If it weren't for your father's light, with your own talent, at most you would be a county guard, and you would be able to do Chu Gong is ancestral tomb with smoke, and you would not be satisfied, forcing the Son of Heaven to be crowned king, and now that you have today, you deserve it! ”

And at this moment, I saw a person break in from the outside and said loudly: "Lord, lord, the big thing is not good, Lejin betrayed, Jiang Jianjun was killed, Langya, Langya has fallen......"

"What? What did you say? Do you say it again? When Cao Pi heard this, he couldn't believe it and said in a lost voice.

The name of the person who came was Wang Chen, he was a personal soldier under the command of Jiang Gan, when Jiang Gan and Koji Yi fought a decisive battle, he originally wanted to participate, but Jiang Gan said that someone needed to report the news to the lord, so he kept him, and personally wrote a letter, so that he could personally send it to Cao Pi's hands, Wang Chen originally only wanted to die, but now he has a heavy responsibility, in desperation, he had to take Jiang Gan's letter, risked death to come to Xuzhou, to report the news to Cao Pi, he saw that Cao Pi said to himself unbelievable, and had to repeat the previous words again.

Cao Pi listened to the words of the visitor, and suddenly turned pale with anger, and scolded him: "Lejin dog thief, dare to choose betrayal, it's really hateful, Zhanfei, pass on my order, press all the old and young of Lejin family to the outside of the gate, behead the public, I want to destroy the three clans of Lejin, in order to pay tribute to Jiang Ziyi!" ”

At this time, he saw that Wang Chen said: "Wait, lord, things are not as the lord imagined, this Le Jin did not betray at the beginning, he surrendered just a fraudulent surrender, but because Jiang Jianjun and the lord's suspicion made Le Jin very disappointed, he decided to betray, Jiang Jianjun was very remorseful after learning the truth, so he fought to death, in order to atone the merits, before he died, Jiang Jianjun ordered the end of the general to send a letter to the lord, in the letter for the Lejin family to intercede, please forgive the lord for their capital crimes, This can be regarded as a slight compensation for Jiang Jianjun's previous forced rebellion against Lejin, the lord is now kind to Lejin's family, maybe in the future, Lejin will take care of the past feelings, and will treat the lord well, if he kills Lejin's family, Lejin will come to Xuzhou in the future, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe for the lord. ”

"Humph! Speaking of which, isn't this Lejin a betrayal in the end? It can be seen that my judgment and Ziyi's judgment is not wrong, this person is a person who is disloyal in his heart, if he is really loyal, he can write loyalty with his own life like Ziyi, but he did not do this at all, but instead used my distrust as a reason for betrayal, and he is also a confidant left by my father, why don't I doubt Ziyi, but doubt him? Ziyi did the right thing, but it was Lejin who was wrong! As for whether he will treat me well after he enters the city, I don't care about such a thing at all, Zhanfei, listen to my orders, and immediately kill Lejin's family, and the woman will be a military prostitute, this is the end of betraying me! ”

At this time, Cao Pi of course knew that he and Jiang Gan had wronged Le Jin, so he caused the other party to betray, but he would never admit it, because it would hurt his and Jiang Gan's face, in order to protect his face, he would rather make mistakes again and again, and would not forgive Le Jin's family, anyway, now Le Jin has surrendered, and there is no need for him to destroy his image in order to admit him.

"No, my lord, don't worry, this matter will definitely be done for you at the end, but my lord, the top priority now is not how to punish the rebel general's family, but how to deal with the current situation, now General Zixiao has been defeated in successive battles, and the army's heart has been lost, if the news of Langya's loss comes, it is estimated that the army's heart will collapse, so, according to the opinion of the last general, the lord had better think of a foolproof way to get out, even if the last general is not afraid of death, but the lord's golden body, how can he stand under the dangerous wall?"

Since Le Jin has surrendered now, then he is his own person, Deng Zhan naturally wants to do his best to protect his family, but it is definitely not possible to intercede directly, but it will arouse Cao Pi's suspicion, so now for the sake of now, the only way to divert Cao Pi's attention is to divert Cao Pi's attention first. So Deng Zhan proposed to Cao Pi to withdraw.

Cao Pi was also hesitant about this, he shook his head and sighed: "My father and son have been operating in Xuzhou for more than ten years, and the people are very affectionate. Besides, although our army was defeated, but the food in the city is sufficient, but there are still tens of thousands of warriors, even if Liu and 200,000 troops besiege the city, it will be able to support for several months, and it only takes half a month, Sima Zhongda's army can come, and at that time we should join forces with the outside, not only can we keep Xuzhou from losing, but also may be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the hometown of Yuyan. ”

"Hehe, at this time, you still have illusions!" Deng Zhan secretly sneered, and persuaded Cao Pi: "Even so, but the lord can't be in danger, once there is a case, even if the last general is alive, what's the point?" Besides, there has been no news from Mr. Zhongda's army so far, is it because he is unwilling to come back? Or if something is stumbling, if he really doesn't come, our army will be surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, and at that time, even if the lord wants to get out, I'm afraid it will be impossible. ”

"This ......" Cao Pi heard this, hesitated for a moment, and sighed after a pillar of incense: "It's just a pity that the people of Xuzhou have to face the tyrannical rule of Liu He, I really can't stand these people......"
