Chapter 631: Thinking about the Cao Clan's arrangement
readx;
"Lord Sima has arrived!" Just when the faces of the Cao father and son were full of sadness, a shout came from outside the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Cao's father and son quickly wiped away the tears on their faces, leaving only their eyes full of red!
"See the king, the two princes!" Sima Yi strode into the room and saluted the trio!
"Excuse me!" Cao Ying, who was leaning on the couch, waved his hand, and Cao Ang and Cao Pi hurriedly returned the salute.
"King Xie!" stood up, and was about to say something, but saw the eyes of Cao's father and son red and swollen. Sima Yi couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "King, what happened, why do you seem to have cried?" ”
"It's fine!" Cao Pi reacted quickly, he smiled and said: "My father was a hero, but he was tormented by head wind, and when I saw my father described him as emaciated, my eldest brother and I felt sorry for him, so we cried bitterly, so that my father was also affected!" ”
"I see!" Sima Yi nodded, and then stopped pestering, and he asked again: "What is the important matter for the king to invite me here?" ”
Cao Ying said with a smile: "Zhongda, I am lonely and have a head wind, and I have fainted several times, so I really can't deal with important military and political affairs. I invite you to come today, just to let you preside over all the affairs of Shouchun! ”
"This..."Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "How can you be in Xiade, how dare you preside over the Shouchun event?" The king's sons are all in the palace, and the king is also invited to choose a good person to preside over the overall situation! ”
"Why should Chung Tat be so humble? In the face of the strong Liu Zhang, how can he stop it with his lonely sons? Please also work tirelessly and take on one or two more responsibilities! Cao Ying's face was full of smiles, but his words were unquestionable, and Sima Yi even saw a glint in his eyes!
His heart turned sharply, and the corner of Sima Yi's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Cao Ang and Cao Pi next to him, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "The king, the eldest prince's army is unparalleled, and the second prince is good at government affairs, so let the two princes preside over important military and political affairs, and I will assist you, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Alas..."Cao Ying sighed and said, "Since Zhongda insists, let's do it!" Zixiu, Zihuan, you must listen to Zhongda's words more, and you must not disobey at all! ”
"Obey my father's orders!" Cao Ang and Cao Pi immediately bowed down and looked very respectful.
Sima Yi showed a wry smile, he could see that Cao Ying wanted to find a substitute ghost, but even if he didn't want to be a substitute ghost, he couldn't. Not to mention that Shouchun is still under the control of Cao Ying, if he refuses, he will definitely be poisoned. Let's just say that after Liu Zhang broke Shouchun, he could let anyone go, but he would never let him go!
"I am determined to live up to the king's expectations!" Thinking of this, Sima Yi was ruthless and accepted Cao Ying's appointment. To fight Liu Zhang's life and death, only by mastering the power of Shouchun can he do his best.
"Good!" Cao Ying smiled: "It's troublesome Zhongda!" ”
"The king is serious!" Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Since the king handed over the affairs of Shouchun to me, I will go down and arrange it carefully!" ”
"Go ahead!" It seemed that he heard the shouting and killing outside the city, Cao Ying's head began to ache again, and with a wave of his hand, he drove Sima Yi, Cao Ang, and Cao Pi out!
As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, Cao Pi immediately asked Sima Yi, "Lord Sima, what should we do now, please give me instructions!" ”
"How dare you!" Sima Yi returned the salute and said: "Please also ask the second prince to teach!" ”
"Alright, alright!" Seeing that Sima Yi was still hypocritical there, Cao Ang said impatiently: "Lord Sima, my father asked us to listen to you, so don't be humble anymore!" Liu Zhang's soldiers are coming to the city, you better give the order quickly! ”
"This..."Sima Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the eldest prince has already done all the defenses that need to be done, and I also used bamboo to tie a baffle to prevent the Qin army's thunderbolt!" ”
"Bamboo?" Cao Ang smiled bitterly: "Even the stone bullets that can't be resisted by bricks and stones, how can just bamboo and wood be able to block them?" ”
"The eldest prince is wrong!" Sima Yi said: "Although the masonry is hard, as long as you encounter something harder than it, it will inevitably crack. Bamboo and wood are flexible, but they can often block strong impacts. The Qin army's thunderbolts were indeed powerful, but they would still pause during the attack. As long as you don't attack one point in a row, you will never be able to break through the bamboo wall! ”
Cao Pi pinched his chin and asked thoughtfully, "If you attack a little at the same time with a dozen thunderbolts, will the bamboo wall be difficult to resist?" ”
"The second prince is too worried!" Sima Yi said: "Instruments like thunderbolts have always been inaccurate. If the Qin army can aim a dozen thunderbolt cars at a point of bombardment, how can our army not be able to hold Shouchun! ”
"This..."Cao Pi thought about it, it was really the truth, he smiled and said: "Lord Sima is so wise, no wonder my father trusts him." However, if we just hold on, I'm afraid our army will still not be able to hold it. Shouldn't we find a way to take the initiative? ”
"Second son, don't worry!" Sima Yi said: "Our army has been allied with Jiangdong, and it has been agreed that when our army is engaged in a battle with Liu Zhang's army, the Jiangdong army will attack Jingzhou to cut off the connection with the Qin army!" ”
"Is the Jiangdong Army credible?" Cao Ang frowned and said, "Sun Quan has always been treacherous, and I am worried that he will be unfavorable to our army again. ”
"Not this time!" Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "If Sun Quan dares to do things that harm others and himself at such a moment, it is no different from looking for death." ”
"I hope so!" Cao Ang sighed, he finally understood Cao Ying's despair. In the face of a strong enemy, but the allies are not reliable, anyone will feel slim about the future!
Since Sima Yi has arranged everything, there is no need for Cao Ang and Cao Pi to worry too much. In order to show their trust in Sima Yi, the two just inspected it and went home! When the two returned to the mansion, they secretly ordered their family to pack up and prepare to go out of the city to surrender, while Cao Pi asked his wife to take the family to Cao Ang's mansion. Although Cao Pi's wife was reluctant to leave her husband, she did not dare to disobey her husband's orders!
"Husband, it's all packed!" Cao Ang's mansion was in turmoil for a long time before it gradually calmed down, and Cao Ang's wife Lu immediately reported the situation to her husband!
"That's great!" Sitting in the middle of the hall, holding the bronze wine lord, Cao Ang's eyes were a little straight. Although it is not a place where he grew up, everything in the house is arranged by him, and he is really a little reluctant!
"Husband, are we going to run away again?" Lu is the daughter of Lu Bu, and from childhood to adulthood, her memory is full of endless escapes. Seeing Cao Ang's movements, she somewhat understood!
"Qiaya, I'm going to make you suffer again!" Holding his beloved wife into his arms, Cao Ang's face was full of pity. Don't look at Lu Bu's house, but his daughter is as gentle as water and knowledgeable. Of course, it would be a big mistake to regard the Lu family as a weak woman. For quite a few years, some people said bad things about Lu Bu, but she repaired it!
"As long as I am with you, I am not afraid of the death of the concubine!" Holding Cao Ang, Lu's trembling body had already betrayed her. Although she said that she was not afraid, God knows what kind of danger would arise under the chaos, she is a woman after all!
"Don't worry, none of us will die!" As if sensing his wife's strange appearance, Cao Ang stroked the green silk on the top of her head with his hand, and whispered in her ear: "Father asked me to surrender to Liu Zhang after the city was broken..."
"What?" Lu Shi was shocked: "Husband, if you surrender to Liu Zhang, won't you and my surname be controlled by others?" How could my father-in-law have such an arrangement? What if..."
"Don't worry, Father won't be wrong!" Cao Ang smiled and said, "Father said, surrender to Liu Zhang, and we can live." Otherwise, neither Sima Yi nor Sun Quan will let us go! ”
"Mr. Sima? Sun quan? Aren't they all their own people? Lu Shi was a little puzzled, although she was knowledgeable, she still had Lu Bu's blood in her body, so she was not very good at politics and conspiracy.
"Silly girl!" patted Lu's head affectionately, Cao Ang smiled: "You don't need to think about these things, you still listen to my arrangement!" ”
"Hmm..."Leaning on Cao Ang's chest, Lu Shi nodded fiercely, she believed that her husband could protect herself, just like Lu Bu protected her back then. Thinking of his father Lu Bu, Lu raised his head again and asked, "Husband, doesn't my father have any news yet?" ”
"My father was scouting all over the place, and I didn't hear my father-in-law's movements, so I thought he should be hiding!" Speaking of Lu Bu, Cao Ang was also a little puzzled. Since the defeat of Runan, Lu Bu has disappeared, and it has been more than a month, but there is no news at all, and he doesn't even know where he went with Chen Gong and Gao Shun.
If it is said that Lu Bu was killed, don't say that Cao Ang doesn't believe it, even Cao Ying doesn't believe it. Of course, there is a possibility that Lu Bu will be killed, and that is to be surrounded by seven or eight generals of the Qin army. But this situation will never happen, because Lu Bu is not stupid. If so many generals of the Qin army pounced, wouldn't he still run away?
"Well, if my father had been here, we might have been safer!" Shaking her head, Lu Shi's face was full of worry, she had a blind worship and trust in Lu Bu!
"My father-in-law is not here, isn't there still me!" Listening to his wife's words, Cao Ang showed a wry smile on his face, if Lu Bu was here, surrender might be an extravagant hope, he remembered that Lu Bu and Liu Zhang seemed to be rivals in love. Of course, Lu Bu thought so, but Liu Zhang didn't admit it!
"Hmm!" As if he didn't see the bitterness on her husband's face, Lu continued to lie in her husband's arms and said; "Husband, since you want to surrender, do you want to bring your mother too? Now that my father is missing, I am worried about my mother..."
"Oops!" Cao Ang slapped his forehead and said, "You see I forgot!" Not only your mother, but also my mother and brother have to be brought in, so that nothing happens in the chaos! ”
"Big brother, no need!" A hearty voice sounded, and I saw Cao Pi slowly walking into the hall, and he was followed by a large group of people, all of whom were members of the Cao family.
"The second brother still has the ability, and he wants to be in front of the brother!" Cao Ang was overjoyed when he saw someone coming, but he searched the crowd but didn't see his mother Ding.
"Don't look for it, my mother isn't here!" How could Cao Pi not know what Cao Ang was looking for, he shook his head and said: "Not only Mrs. Ding, but also the other ladies are not ready to leave, they want to live and die with their father..."
"Alas..."Listening to Cao Pi's words, Cao Ang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just sighed
