Sima Fu, Sima Fang's third son, cousin Shuda.

He is now twenty-four years old, and if he were to count his age in ancient times, his birth date would be one year old, that is, twenty-five years old......

With Sima Fu's family background, it is a strange thing to say that he has not yet entered the ranks at the age of twenty-five.

This is not because Sima Fu is not talented enough, but more because Sima Fang deliberately kept a low profile and suppressed Sima Fu's development. In the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi, had intended to recruit Sima Fu as Peng, but was rejected by Sima Fang. This Peng, to put it bluntly, is a clean election official, and it is not important in Sima Fang's opinion. What's more, Cao Zhi's talent is open-minded and his demeanor is frivolous, and he is not liked by Sima Fang.

In Sima Fang's view, Cao Zhi's talent may be the best among the sons of the Cao family, but he is never a person who has achieved great things.

Therefore, when Cao Zhi conquered Sima Fu, Sima Fang resolutely opposed it, which also made Cao Zhi have a deep grudge against Sima Fu's family.

Now, Sima Fang wants Sima Fu to serve Liu Chuang, and he wants to sever the relationship with Sima Fu, which is equivalent to the way he treated Sima Yi at the beginning. The problem is that Sima Fu's situation may be worse than Sima Yi's. Because so far, Sima Yi has been hiding in the shadows, and he has claimed to the outside world that he has traveled to Jiangdong. And Sima Fu went over this time, but he couldn't hide his identity, and he was destined to draw a line with Sima once he joined Liu Chuang. In other words, if Liu Chuang failed, Sima Fu would not be able to return to the family.

This is also the most common method used by the family, multi-party investment.

For example, the Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun Yan all worked for Cao Cao, but there was a Xun Chen to assist Yuan Shao.

Historically, accompanied by Yuan Shao's defeat. Xun Chen was no longer silent; The situation is the same for Sima Fu. If Liu Chuang fails. He had no chance of coming back.

Of course, if Liu Chuang wins, Sima Fu can return to his hometown, and Sima's strength will be preserved.

Sima Lang heard very clearly on the side, his father was preparing to increase the weight on Liu Chuang's side.

Although Sima Yi has already followed Liu Chuang, it seems that now it seems that he is afraid that the chips are not big enough, so he pushed Sima Fu out.

He opened his mouth. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Sima Fu pondered for a moment and smiled slightly, "I also miss my second brother a lot, since my cousin is in the tiger prison, I should share his worries." ”

"You, have you thought about it?"

"The child has already thought about it!"

Sima Fang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you pack up and set off overnight." ”

"Whoa!"

Sima Fu bowed down to receive the order. Immediately retreated.

After Sima Fu left, Sima Lang couldn't help but say, "Father." Now that Zhongda is quite used by his cousin, why let Shuda go again? ”

Sima Fang smiled slightly, "At that time, I asked Zhongda to follow Meng Yan, I didn't expect that Meng Yan would rise so quickly.

Moreover, Zhong Da's current identity is not easy to show up, so I can only let Shuda go, which can be regarded as showing his attitude to Meng Yan. However, Henan is still based on Meng De, and the two of them are determined by the winner one day, and we can't make a choice one day.

The Sima clan is a century-old family, and every step must be cautious and cautious, and must not be emotional.

Letting Shuda go over is to help Meng Yan pacify Hanoi, and at the same time, it is also to add an arm to Zhongda, for the sake of my Sima family's future. ”

Sima Lang immediately stopped speaking and stopped talking.

The way to survive is to survive in the cracks.

How could he not be clear about these methods? It's just that once Sima Fu's identity is revealed, I'm afraid that Sima Fu will also be affected. He finally understood why his father had been so low-key and cautious in the past few years. Even moved from Xudu to Luoyang's copper camel alley, I am afraid that it is also planned for the future. Thinking of this, Sima Lang's admiration for Sima Fang couldn't help but add a few points.

"The kid ...... here"

Sima Fang closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he said: "You just do your business, the affairs of Zhongda and Shuda have nothing to do with you, and they have nothing to do with my Sima clan." Now the situation is just a matter of waiting and making a choice when the time is right.

Meng Yan has two Zhongda Shuda on his side, which is enough! ”

"The child understands!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the city of Luoyang, the Sima clan began to plan for the future.

In the city of Xudu, Xun Yu was also in distress.

Cao Cao's progress at the Qinghe River did not go well, and the Han army stubbornly defended Dongwu City and Jieqiao, making it impossible for Cao's army to advance.

At the same time, the whole of Hebei is also responding quickly. He sent troops to the General's Mansion and dispatched 80,000 troops from Youzhou and Bingzhou, falsely claiming to be 200,000, and would soon go south to Jizhou. In other words, Xun Yu and Cao Cao had previously set a plan to attack the west, which has basically been cracked. Xun Yu also had to admit that Liu Chuang's original establishment of the royal capital in Yanjing was indeed a clever move......

The capital of Yanjing, although it is located in the bitter cold of Youzhou, has given Liu Chuang an extremely broad strategic buffer.

Crossing the river from Henan to Hebei cannot threaten Liu Chuang's foundation at all, but can enable Liu Chuang to deploy calmly and without panic.

This is also the biggest reason for the failure of this plan.

The Han army had enough space and time to resist Cao Cao's sneak attack...... On the contrary, once the Han army crossed the Yellow River, the Cao army had no buffer room.

This can be seen from the commotion in Xudu City.

With Liu Chuang crossing the Yellow River, the soldiers were in the Tiger Pass, and the people of Xu Du were panicked.

Especially in the past two days, a group of bandits and bandits appeared outside the city of Xudu, infesting Meishan, which made the people panic and uneasy.

As for the origin of this bandit?

Xun Yu knows it!

In fact, he didn't care about this bandit, and it didn't take a minute to exterminate it. He cared about the people behind the bandits. Xun Yu was very scared, if he was involved too much, he might even shake the foundation of the Han family, and even the Son of Heaven would be affected.

He was loyal to Cao Cao, and even more loyal to the Han family.

He believed that Cao Cao was the lord of the Zhongxing Han family, but if the Son of Heaven was involved because of this, it was not Xun Yu's wish.

So tangled. Xun Yu was also very painful.

But the Han army could not remain indifferent when they approached the city. There was chaos and panic in the city. Nor can it be taken lightly. On the one hand, he ordered people to pacify the people, and on the other hand, he ordered a crackdown on the Meishan thieves. At the same time, Xun Yu ordered people to transfer troops and horses from Liyang, and even sent people to Qinghe to inform Cao Cao.

It seems that the decisive battle between the lord and Liu Chuang is imminent!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Xudu, the imperial city.

Emperor Han was excited and walked back and forth in the main hall.

Empress Fu looked at Emperor Han's flushed cheeks. I can't help but sigh in my heart.

She can understand Emperor Han's mood at the moment, but the question is, Liu Chuang hasn't hit Xu Du yet, how can you be so out of shape?

What frightened her the most was the meaning of Emperor Han's words.

"Zitong, Uncle Liu Huang has crossed the river, and the soldiers are in the tiger prison, and the Han family is in front of you."

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, Emperor Han has been suppressed by Cao Cao in the past two years. It's like a puppet, and can't call the shots at all. Now I finally see the light of day. He was in a happy mood, and it was reasonable, and it was not a big deal.

But the problem is that his later words made Queen Fu's heart tremble.

"Uncle Liu Huang has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is really a pillar of my Han Dynasty.

In my opinion, it is reasonable to worship him as a prince...... Over the years, he has been fighting in the east and west, and it has indeed been very hard. When he arrives in Xudu, I will keep him by my side, so that I can ask him for help from time to time. With him by my side, I can be at peace in my heart. ”

At first glance, this is not a big deal.

But if you think deeply, you can perceive the mind of Emperor Han.

My majesty, do you actually want to cut Uncle Liu's military power? Not to mention that he hasn't arrived in Xudu yet, even if he arrives in Xudu, it's not that you can suppress it so lightly. He has gone from having no fixed place to now becoming the lord of Hebei, how can he be compared with those foolish people around you? I hope you don't be so anxious, otherwise it may backfire and make the emperor's uncle turn against you.

That's right, you did give the title of Uncle Huang.

But in addition, Uncle Liu Huang's today was created by him, how can it be suppressed lightly?

But Queen Fu couldn't say these words...... She looked at the excited Emperor Han and already had a plan in her heart......

It is necessary for the father to try to strengthen the contact with Uncle Liu, so that if the Son of Heaven really angers Uncle Liu, the two sides can also have a buffer. Otherwise, with the idea of His Majesty, sooner or later Uncle Liu Huang will be forced to become the second Dong Zhuo and the second Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Queen Fu's heart was full of worries......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Accompanied by Liu Chuang, he captured Hanoi and successfully crossed the river.

The war in Hebei also suddenly fell into a short period of calm.

Liyang's Cao army stopped its frantic attack and quickly retreated to Liyang...... However, the Han army did not attack quickly, but strengthened the garrison.

Cao Cao's progress in Qinghe County was unfavorable, which also made Cao Cao feel great pressure.

The Han army of Pingyuan County began to move, and Ma Chao was transferring troops and generals, and it seemed that he intended to increase troops in Qinghe.

Once Pingyuan County sent troops, Cao Cao would fall into a situation where he would be attacked on his back...... At the same time, after the construction of Lijin City was completed, Liu Chuang added a military port at the mouth of the Yellow River. After the construction of Lijin was completed, Gan Ning quickly attacked and harassed Qingzhou repeatedly.

And Tai Shici dispatched troops in Donglai, and it seemed that he was also going to cross Gushui and enter Beihai.

Cao Cao knew very well that if he continued to delay in Qinghe County, he was afraid that the situation would become more and more unfavorable. Qinghe's extraordinary tenacity also made Cao Cao's previous plan completely failed. In the current situation, it is not beneficial for him to stay in Qinghe, and the best way is to evacuate Qinghe as much as possible...... Because according to the current situation, the longer the Qinghe River is stranded, the more dangerous it will be, and it is definitely not what Cao Cao wants......

That night, Cao Cao discussed with Xun You and others about withdrawing troops.

While they were talking, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Meng Kang, why are you so alarmed?"

"Lord, something is wrong......

"Huh?"

"I just got the news that Liu Zhang raised troops in Chengdu and went out of Jiameng Pass...... Zhang Lu hastily collected his troops from Wudu, and Liu Chuang's troops and horses captured Wudu. (To be continued......)
