The night moon is in the sky.

Starry.

Luoyang Xicheng, located in a mansion next to the Luoshui River, in a pavilion shrouded in moonlight in the back garden of the mansion, incense mats are spread on the ground, lanterns are flickering, and wisps of incense are thick.

In this elegant environment, five or six beautiful maids around were carefully warming wine, and two old men in brocade robes were kneeling opposite each other.

"Brother Jiangong, what is Cao Zihuan thinking about?"

Yang Biao was dressed in white brocade robes, his beard was white, he knelt in it, personally poured out the warm wine, poured himself a glass, and then poured a glass for Sima Fang, who was sitting opposite.

"Brother Wen Xian, he has already done it!"

After Sima Fang drank a glass of wine, he put down the wine cup in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This person is also a wolf ambition, and now he is on the verge of death, trapped beasts are still fighting, and he is quite decisive, so don't underestimate it!" ”

"Is he sure?"

Yang Biao narrowed his eyes: "After all, the troops in the city are not weak now!" ”

"It's hard to say!"

Sima Fang shook his head, he was a little unsure of this: "But I listen to his tone, there is some intersection between him and Zhang Lu, if he can persuade Zhang Lu to lead his troops to open the city gate, his strength is not without a fight!" ”

"Break the cauldron and fight the ship!" There was a hint of playfulness at the corner of Yang Biao's mouth.

"Brother Wen Xian, I think he has a very small chance of winning!" Sima Fang thought for a while and said: "If there is a dispute between the court and our support, he still has a few chances of winning, but once he uses his sword, he will definitely lose!" ”

"We are an alliance now, we have both glory and loss, and it stands to reason that we should trust him once and help him with all our might. But we must not pin our way to the Guanzhong family on him! ”

Yang Biao asked in a deep voice: "By the way, what did Zhongda say?" ”

In the younger generation of the Guanzhong family, he only believes in one person, and that is the second son of the Sima family, Sima Yi, who has wisdom. Ability, resoluteness, and most importantly, ruthlessness.

"His reply is four words, and he should give up!"

Sima Fang said.

"Should I give up?"

When Yang Biao heard this, his eyes burst with a gleam: "He is still clearer than us old guys, and he should give up, it seems that we are going to take a dangerous road!" ”

"Brother Wen Xian, but do we have any other way to go now?" Sima Fang sighed a little helplessly: "On top of the court that day, we and Xun Yu and others had already torn our faces. Now that the incident in Jizhou has become an excuse for them to snipe us, how can he let us get out of the way! ”

Thinking of this, Sima Fang felt a little hateful, Cao Pi was really not enough to succeed and more than to lose.

The originally good situation was because of the change of banners in Jizhou, and they were defeated.

Xun Yu was unwilling, but now he had to compromise. After all, it's not the same time anymore! ”

Yang Biao was not so desperate, there was a thoughtful light in his eyes: "In the past, the Great Wei Dynasty was related to the east as the foundation. Occupying the important land in Hebei, although we attach importance to Guanzhong, it is not necessary to rely on it, so we are not soft at all, even if we are in Guanzhong, several families are reversed, and they will have the worst result. It's a big deal to kill Tongtian, and then slowly clean up the situation, which will not affect the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty.

However, now the Wu people have helped us, and in the first battle of the Kwantung region, Yu Yan was lost. Hebei Yizhi, just by virtue of the cool land, the imperial court is difficult to support the overall situation, Guanzhong is naturally the top priority, Xun Yu They want to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, they must rely on us, we still have a chance! ”

The more important Guanzhong is, the more valued they are for these deep-rooted Guanzhong families.

Otherwise, he would not dare to go out of the mountain to fight for power at this time.

It's a pity that the chess loses.

"Do we still have a chance?"

Sima Fang frowned, and his thoughts were deep for a while: "But Xun Yu may not believe us, even if he puts down the liquidation this time, after gradually becoming estranged, it is not impossible to devour it step by step, when the time comes, we will be forced into a dilemma, we can't advance, we can't retreat, we can only watch the power of the family being eaten away!" ”

"So we have to have a backer!" Yang Biao poured the wine gently, and the aroma of the spirits produced in Wu Di made him a little intoxicated.

"Who?"

"What do you think of Cao Zhang?" Yang Biao raised his head and asked suddenly.

"Cao Zhang?"

When Sima Fang heard this, he thought in his heart: "King Peng, he is a little younger, and his reputation is insufficient, and the most important thing is that he doesn't seem to have any ambitions. ”

"Definitely!"

Yang Biao shook his head and said with a sneer: "This just shows that this son is more shrewd than Cao Ang and Cao Pi, he is not willing to wade into this troubled water at this time, but he is dedicated to serving His Majesty's side, this is the strength to keep himself, he has won over a lot of people before, as long as he waits for Cao Ang and Cao Pi to lose both, he jumps out to clean up the situation, and he will inevitably return to the overall situation!" ”

"Don't say that he is still young, just say that he is just a martial artist, does he have such a deep city?"

"He may not have it, but I think there may be a capable person behind this son!"

"Capable people?"

Sima Fang was puzzled: "Who is it?" ”

"It doesn't matter who it is!"

Yang Biao's gaze crossed a cold light: "The important thing is that this Peng King will be our other choice, support him, maybe we can find another shortcut!" ”

"Then we are going to give up Cao Pi completely?" Sima Fang was a little unbearable.

"It's not giving up!"

Yang Biao said fiercely: "It's a defection, Cao Pi actually has no hope, I am not optimistic about his ruin, you must not underestimate one person!" ”

"Zhang Liao!"

Sima Fang's heart trembled.

"The general of our Great Wei Dynasty has unparalleled prestige in the army, no matter whether he has soldiers and horses in his hands, he is standing in this Luoyang City, he is a Dinghai Divine Needle!" Yang Biao said coldly: "When I suppressed the soldiers and horses on both sides that day, I was afraid of him!" ”

"This guy is a great character!" Sima Fang nodded.

"We can't be buried with Cao Pi, so we can step on his blood, so that we can reach a common situation with Xun Yu's hope of reconciliation!"

Yang Biao sighed: "This time I walked out of Hongnong, I wanted to fight for the Guanzhong family. But how do you look at it, we underestimate Xun Yu and them, they are terrifying, no matter the means, the city government, they are all superior. Forcibly take it, both sides will lose, the only thing that can be done is to jointly manage the land of Guanzhong, and protect the Great Wei in Guanzhong! ”

"What if Guanzhong is not guaranteed?" Sima Fang said suddenly.

"If the situation really comes to that point, then we have nothing to fight about!"

Yang Biao raised the wine cup, drank a glass, and said with some sighs: "Our Guanzhong family is qualified to talk to the Great Wei Dynasty, but we don't have any reliance on talking to the Great Wu Dynasty. Even if they are wiped out, we can't help them, we can only resign ourselves to fate! ”

————————————————————————

Under the same night, in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, above the Beibi Mountain, there was a gloomy mountain stream.

This is the nest of ghosts.

Jia Xu sat on a stone bench in an elegant cave, and under the soft light, he leisurely flipped through a book in his hand. Look very carefully.

"Great Commander, there's news!"

A guard walked in.

"Say!" Jia Xu heard this. Gently put down the book in his hand.

"Our spies found signs of Cao Pi's soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Yellow River this evening, and they were stationed in Huaicheng, which is far from Luoyang, even if you add the time to cross the river. I'm afraid it's less than two days away! ”

"Where did it come from?"

"It should be Asaka City!"

"It seems that Cao Zihuan is planning to even ignore Jizhou, the soldiers are in danger, and they will do a big job!" Jia Xu sneered: "It's a pity, he's too confident, this panic." In fact, he can go south with only 20,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Cao Pi's soldiers and horses went south, which was a blow to him.

But for the imperial court, it was just right, that is, he himself dug a grave for himself.

If he stationed his soldiers and horses in Chaoge City, Luoyang would still be afraid of him for three points, and for the sake of the peace of the situation, at least he would be left with his life.

But he pulled these soldiers back, just giving Zhang Liao a chance.

"Spread this news to the general, don't worry about the rest, let everyone keep an eye on Luoyang City, anyone who has weapons in Luoyang, including the leaders of the government soldiers of each family head, will be stared to death for me!"

"No!"

The guards took the order and left.

"Shia!"

"In!" A dark shadow emerged silently from the cavern.

"You personally stared at Zhang Lu, now in Luoyang City, except for the Imperial Forest Army, he has the strongest troops in his hands, look at his choice, if he insists on seeking death, kill!" Jia Xu's cold voice kept echoing in the cave.

"No!"

The shadow disappeared silently.

"Fang Shi, it's time to deal with you too!" In the silence of the cave, Jia Xu suddenly stood up, straightened his robe, and then followed a stone carving into a stone dungeon of the ghost pawn.

"Hall Master Fang, you're quite leisurely!" Jia Xu saw that the man in the stone prison was also reading, and he was fascinated by it, and he couldn't help but smile coldly.

"The Great Commander locked me up, didn't it just make me reflect on it, read the book, and make a lot of time!"

Fang Shi looked up and closed the book in his hand.

"Fang Shi, although I never believed you, I didn't expect you to make such a big deal!"

Jia Xu sighed: "I underestimated your ability, I shouldn't leave you alone in the capital, in this Luoyang City, no one can keep an eye on you!" ”

"I don't understand the words of the Grand Commander!"

Fang Shi smiled: "Could it be that the Great Commander thinks that His Majesty's coma has something to do with me, you must know that my every move is under your eyelids!" ”

"The more evidence there is, the more perfect it is, and there is not even a little evidence pointing to you, the more certain I am that this thing is your handiwork!" Jia Xu said categorically: "Of course, it's not your alone, it's a joint effort between you and the mouse!" ”

"I still don't understand!" Fangshi shrugged.

"You lied at the beginning, you said that you didn't know the mouse, you didn't know his identity, I can say now, you must know the mouse, and you know his identity clearly, and even you have a close connection!"

Jia Xu's expression was calm, and he continued, ignoring Fang Shi's voice, as if talking to himself: "But you are a hard bone, and it is estimated that there will be no result in interrogating you!" (To be continued.) )
