A God-given opportunity allowed Cao Cao to seize a great opportunity.

Maybe even Cao Cao himself didn't realize what kind of person he killed, but unfortunately he didn't know the so-called Three Kingdoms and didn't know history.

Of course, if he knew that, he would have killed him a long time ago, and he wouldn't have waited until now.

He actually had reservations about Cao Ren's words, because as early as that night, not long after he found out that Ju Yi had collaborated with the enemy, he had already vaguely thought of this poisonous plan.

At that time, the idea was very simple, Ju Yi had already collaborated with the enemy, and if he ruined his plan, he would definitely not be able to escape responsibility. Compared with Ju Yi, who has already collaborated with the enemy, how to get rid of Liu Bei and get the best of his command is obviously more profitable.

In this case, his scheme slowly took shape.

When Cao Cao fulfilled his earlier promise and ordered Liu Bei to take charge of Nanyang, Liu Bei was of course very happy, and it was impossible for him to think that this was a killing game, after all, in his mind, if Cao Cao wanted to kill him, then why bother so much?

What's more, he asked himself that he had not made any mistakes, and even made great achievements in these years, and was supported and loved by many people in the DPRK and China, even the Son of Heaven respected him. Therefore, with his current reputation and status, Cao Cao would not dare to kill at will, there was no reason, and he could not convince the public!

Although Cao Cao controls the court, he can rely on his wrists, not a tyrant like Dong Zhuo, so many civil and military soldiers under his command, as well as the people under his command, not everyone knows what he Liu Bei thinks. Most people see that he has made great achievements in war, and his benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled. Honorable status. Pillars of the nation. And of course, he himself is also cautious and will not give Cao Cao a chance.

But where did Liu Bei expect that there would be a collaborator with Ju Yi, and there would be such a God-given opportunity for Cao Cao to hold in his hands?

Cao Cao suddenly gave him an official letter of order and a seal, ordering him to take over Nanyang the next day, and he hurried to inform Ju Yi that he would convey the order and prepare to subdue the general. Preparing for the future, there's nothing wrong with that.

As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao asked Xu Chu to take the two of them to each select 5,000 elite soldiers, can they refuse?

After all, the army is already heading north in batches, and there is no such shop after this village, so of course they will go immediately.

In this way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to select elite soldiers, and he hurried over to inform Ju Yi, and by the way, he was busy compiling the trilogy, is this wrong? That's right!

This trick is ruthless here. Liu Bei knew nothing and couldn't refuse.

As for Juyi. was completely fooled by Cao Ren's mixed words, and he had nowhere to send a fire in his belly, who would not slaughter Liu Bei?

What's more, even if Ju Yi didn't kill Liu Bei, he couldn't escape, such a great opportunity, Cao Cao had already arranged more followers, and he would die near Ju Yi's camp.

Of course, this may be an accident, but in fact, it is also an inevitability, Cao Cao, who has no sense of huge external threat, is ready to start cleaning up the interior, and Liu Bei has lost his use value, so it is inevitable to kill him.

It can be said that Wang Xu's "death", coupled with the fact that he did not "die" in his hands, had already decided Liu Bei's fate......

The next day, Cao Cao led his troops to return north, leaving only Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, and Xiahou Dun three generals, commanding more than ten generals and 100,000 horse infantry to guard all parts of Nanyang.

Xiahoudun's injuries had not yet healed, but because there was no major problem, Cao Cao was always relieved to go to the Chu State, so he still stayed.

At the same time, in the past few days, the entire world has also undergone great changes!

After Zhang Liao carried out the materials of the entire Luoyang, he withdrew his troops and returned to Hangu Pass and Luhun Pass, defending the danger and containing the entrance to Yongzhou.

Huang Quan of Hanoi also withdrew to Hongnong County of Yongzhou and deployed defenses at important ports along the Yellow River under Zhang Liao's guidance.

Gao Shun and others, who were far away in Bingzhou, did not dare to continue to stay in Bingzhou because they learned of the crisis in Chu State, and led the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion of the expedition to withdraw to Fengyi County of Yongzhou, and cooperated with the officers and soldiers of Zhang Liao's White Tiger Legion to arrange the northern defense line of Yongzhou along the Yellow River.

Huang Zhongsuo led the Western Army to return from Xiliang, Jianwen General Wu Ban led 30,000 people to stay in Wudu, and the rest of the men and horses followed Huang Zhong to Shangyong County to guard against the Nanyang Cao army in the east.

Wei Yan, Wu Yi, and Zhang Ren of the Northern Army also retreated from Xiliang, Wei Yan and Wu Yi led the main force to hold Fufeng County in Yongzhou, while Zhang Ren led a small number of troops and horses to Wudu to assist Wu Ban in garrisoning.

In addition, Zhuge Liang learned of the crisis in Chu on the way to Jiangdong, and he knew that he could not do anything, so he hurriedly returned to Jiaozhou.

Jiangdong also because of the crisis of the Chu State, began to gradually increase troops to the two counties of Yuzhang and Nanhai, and deployed materials.

At this time, the front in the Xinye area was stationed in the Eastern Army and the Vermilion Bird Legion, although they were not full and the loss was strict, but with the return of the Cao army to the north, Guo Jia still urgently transferred the Suzaku Army south to Jiangxia, and the southern army of Xu Huang in Jingnan, as well as the naval army of Song Qian, Jia Hua, Fan Tong and others, that is, the Haiyun Legion, jointly guarded against the main force of Jiangdong Yuzhang.

For a time, although all parts of the world died down and there were no large-scale wars, it was like the calm before the storm, and there were crises lurking everywhere.

At this time, Xiangyang, the capital of Chu State, was quite stable, but Xu Shu was in a hurry.

Because she found that the situation was a little out of control!

First of all, several corps in the north and northwest, except for the two troops and horses personally led by Gao Shun and Huang Zhong sent detailed information, and the specific movements of the rest of the corps were simply reported.

Even among the generals within several regiments, there were disagreements about the political situation in Xiangyang.

Fortunately, these generals are very loyal to Wang Xu and the state of Chu, and at present, they are only limited to differences in the political situation, and they are still loyal to the outside world.

In the same way, the opinions of the governors, governors, and taishou in various places also differed, some for and some against, and almost every day there were recitals.

In such a situation, not to mention Xu Shu, even Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and a few of them are also anxious and busy.

On this day, Xu Shu personally replied to the letter to Yizhou Thorn Shi Kuaiyue, and she seemed very irritable.

"Why haven't you come back yet? How long has it been, is something wrong? ”

A person talks to himself, but the more he thinks about it, the more irritated he becomes.

In the past two days, she didn't even have a person to say to her heart, and the other daughters, like Diao Chan and Zhang Ning, were immersed in pain every day, Yan Ming, a girl from the next generation, could have helped, but her psychology was very sensitive and fragile, and since Wang Xu was buried, the whole person has collapsed.

The only ones who can still cheer up themselves to help are Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang, but unfortunately their abilities are limited, and they don't know how to deal with many things.

"Sister! Drink a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish your body! ”

Diao Chan walked into the house with a delicate porcelain bowl, with a deep sorrow between her eyebrows, and her cheeks, which were white and tender like snow in the past, were also slightly sallow, and her face was haggard.

Xu Shu didn't look at her, just looked at the table in front of her in a daze, her eyes slightly dazed.

"Cicada, thank you, but I really don't want to eat it!"

"But if it goes on like this, my sister's body will not be able to hold it!" Diao Chan cried slightly.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "What about you, why do you wash your face with tears all day long and refuse to eat?" ”

"I ......"

Diao Chan wanted to say but couldn't, and after putting the porcelain bowl on the table, he wept silently.

"Alas!"

With a sigh, Xu Shu looked up at this gentle and affectionate woman who hid everything in her heart, and infinite pity rose in her heart, so she couldn't help but get up and walk over to hug her gently, and sighed: "Cicada, no matter what, you have to take care of your body, if he knows, he will definitely feel distressed!" ”

"Can he really know?" Diao Chan asked blankly,

"Yes!" Xu Shu's tone was unusually firm. "Go and rest! Eat something, even if it's not for him, you have to think about a few children, even if the sky falls, our family must not collapse! ”

Diao Chan is very sensible, she knows that Xu Shu is actually in the same pain, and she doesn't want her feelings to affect the other party, so she is so gentle that she smiles to herself: "Hmm! The cicada is going to eat something first! ”

"Go ahead!" Xu Shu reluctantly smiled slightly.

Watching Diao Chan leave slowly, Xu Shu's smile disappeared again, although she had already sensed that Wang Xu might not be dead, but after not returning for such a long time, the worry and urgency were even more abrasive, especially now that she was still under great pressure.

"Tomorrow is the day when Wang Zheng succeeds to the throne, where are you?"

She muttered to herself silently, gradually falling into endless torment, waiting quietly, as if she felt that the next moment, she could see that familiar smiling face appearing beside her, stopping her fragile body, and laughing heartily: "Wife, while playing, these questions are left to me, they are all trivial!" ”

That warmth made her infinitely reassured!

Unfortunately, time passed, but the person in the dream remained untouchable, until late at night, she lay alone and tired on the shore of the table and fell into a deep sleep......

In the early morning, the call of the maidservant made her wake up, and the clear bell of Nangong sounded in her ears.

"Bell ......"

"Bell ......"

"Bell ......"

The long voice made her wake up in an instant, and she looked around blankly, and the figure was still gone!

However, the succession ceremony is about to begin!

She buried her head in pain, looking a little calm, but her heart was already roaring wildly!

After a few breaths, she vented her feelings, raised her head with a cold face, and shouted to the palace maid waiting outside the hall: "Change clothes!" Coming to the court! ”

It was a grand day, and the whole of Xiangyang was full of patrolling soldiers, and the people even walked out of their homes, wandering around, and talking to each other.

Even the children who are not very sensible know that today is the day when the new king will succeed to the throne, and the new king will worship the heavens outside the city, and there will be a grand ceremony, and they will be as happy as a festival.

But the adult people are very heavy, because their hearts are very anxious and they are full of worries about the future!

At this time, four people in tattered clothes, who looked like beggars, appeared outside the west city of Xiangyang, on the horizon of the sky, facing the rising sun, taking steady steps, and moving forward slowly! (To be continued......)
