As soon as this question came out, Liu Chuang's head buzzed, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

He didn't expect Fa Zheng to ask such a question...... Because before that, he thought that Fa was going to sue him and prepare how to seize Xingyang. But who would have thought that Fa Zheng actually asked about the relationship between Liu Chuang and Sima, and how could Liu Chuang not be nervous?

Zhong Xuan, Sima Fang......

Both are Liu Chuang's uncles.

But from the bottom of his heart, Liu Chuang is closer to Sima Fang.

This is not only because Sima Fang has a real blood relationship with him, but also because Sima Fang has been helping him. From the moment Liu broke into Xudu, Sima Fang designed to assassinate Liu Chuang, so that Liu Chuang was pushed to the cusp, so that Cao ** did not dare to do anything to him.

After that, Sima Fang helped Liu Chuang escape from Xudu and asked Sima Yi to follow Liu Chuang.

In the eyes of many people, Sima did not give Liu Chuang much help. But in Liu Chuang's opinion, Sima Fang really helped him...... Zhong Xuan had no choice but to surrender Liu Chuang. Before that, he had always had his heart set on Cao**. Although Zhong Miao also helped Liu Chuang, in Liu Chuang's opinion, it was more of a charity than sincerity. Even if Zhong Xuan asked Guo Yuan to follow Liu Chuang, he failed to let Liu Chuang untie the knot. Even if he now worships Zhong Xuan as the assassin of Liangzhou, in his heart, he recognizes Sima Fang more.

All along, Liu Chuang has been carefully protecting the secrets between him and Sima.

Because he knew very well that Sima Yi was able to establish the eyes and ears of the Yellow Pavilion in the Central Plains, and Sima Fang must be indispensable for this.

If Sima's relationship with him is exposed, Sima's will inevitably face a catastrophe.

So when Fa Zheng asked, Liu Chuang's first thought was to kill Fa Zheng...... Fortunately, he still had a little sense, forcibly pressed the murderous intent in his heart, looked at Fa Zheng, and asked softly after a while: "Xiaozhi, why did you suddenly ask about this matter?" ”

Zhong Da followed the lord and took charge of the Yellow Pavilion.

Although there are not many people who know about it, it will be exposed sooner or later...... Now that Shuda has come to work for the lord again, the relationship between the Sima clan and the lord is by no means as simple as imagined. Just now that he came to inquire at the risk of death, he also had an idea, which was related to the lord's next plan. ”

Liu Chuang, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't speak.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Fa Zhengdao: "There are not many people who know the relationship between me and the Sima clan.

However, since you are filial piety and ask each other, I don't want to hide it...... My biological mother is a member of the Sima clan and Sima Fang's younger sister. In other words, Sima Fang is my uncle, my own uncle. But I don't know what the big thing Xiaozhi said has to do with it. ”

Liu Chuang's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

But his hand was placed on the giant sword on the bookcase, as long as Fa Zheng answered incorrectly, he would not hesitate to kill Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng didn't seem to realize this.

He got up and shook it to the ground, "In this way, I want to congratulate the lord, congratulate the lord." ”

"Oh?"

"The lord has this relationship, and it is not a problem to seek Luoyang."

Liu Chuang's hand held the sword tighter, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Fa Zhengdao: "Please also be filial piety and speak clearly, I don't understand." ”

"Today, Sima Lang is the Luoyang Order, and Sima Fang lives in Tonghuo Lane.

The Hanoi Sima clan has a lot of prestige in Heluo, and more importantly, Sima Fang is now in Luoyang, so he can have a lot more convenience.

Tiger prison, Xiongguan also, not to be taken lightly.

But if something happens in Luoyang, the tiger prison will be equivalent to being defeated from the inside...... When the time comes, he will have Xingyang in the east and the Luoyang Rebellion in the west, and Cao's army will inevitably collapse without a fight. When the time comes, the lord can take the tiger prison without blood, and take advantage of the situation to capture Heluo. ”

Liu Chuang let go of the giant sword, and said softly after a while: "Although I don't have much contact with my uncle, I still know a little.

He has the grace of recommending Cao **, so Cao ** also attaches great importance to Sima's family. At this time, he will not help me succeed, unless I can capture the tiger prison by myself and defeat Cao ** in Xudu, otherwise, even if my uncle has a heart, he will have many concerns. ”

Fa Zheng smiled: "It is precisely because of his concerns that the lord wants to force him to make a decision. ”

"Oh?"

Fa Zheng stepped forward and whispered in Liu Chuang's ear.

Liu Chuang was calm at first, but after hearing it, he couldn't help frowning and shaking his head again and again.

"In that case, wouldn't it put my uncle's family in danger?"

Fa Zheng took a step back, "The lord is related to the Han family and the country, and there must be no kindness of a woman."

Moreover, since Sima Fang sent Shuda over, it also shows that he is optimistic about the lord. In that case, why not force him to do it? Instead of letting him sway from side to side, let him take a stand. This is only good for the lord and for the Sima clan......"

Liu Chuang, take a deep breath.

Fa Zheng's strategy is very good, if it succeeds, Liu Chuang can take advantage of the situation to capture Heluo.

But what if it fails?

The Sima clan is about to suffer a catastrophe...... Therefore, what Fa Zheng said is very reasonable, but Liu Chuang is a little undecided.

After pondering for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Fa Zhengdao: "Filial piety, let me think twice about this matter."

However, please don't reveal this until I have made a decision. You just have to seek Xingyang, don't meddle in the affairs of the Sima family. If I hear the slightest wind outside, I will not spare you...... That's the only one I have left in this world. ”

Fa Zheng stirred up a chill, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Fa Zheng, understand!" ”

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

The situation in the Tiger Prison is critical, but there will not be much of a problem in the short term.

Cao ** believed in Cao Peng even more, and after he rested for a while in Baima, he hurried back to Xudu...... He must consult with Xun Yu and discuss the next countermeasures.

On the Liyang side, the Han army has begun to shift from defense to attack, and the troops are approaching the city of Liyang.

After Zhuge Liang recaptured Qinghe, he continued to advance, and took Fagan and Leping counties without blood, and stationed troops in Xinting.

Cao Chun retreated while fighting, and after retreating to Yangping, he defended the city.

After that, he ordered Yue Xi to sit in Dongwu City, so that Zhang Qingtun soldiers and gangs into a city, echoing each other in a full momentum, and build a pontoon bridge on the river, and Cangting as a whole. In this way, Cao Chun was equivalent to relying on Dongjun and confronting the Han army with the danger of Luoshui.

When Zhuge Liang saw this situation, he did not hesitate.

He decisively ordered Guo Yuan to be the Taishou of Qinghe County, and sent people from Wei County to send Xu Sheng and Xiao Ling to come and sit in Yangping.

Subsequently, Zhuge Liang sent people to the plains to ask Ma Chao for help. On the Qingzhou side, the Han army has formed an effective defense after half a year of operation. With Xu You and Ma Dai staying in the plains, they can also maintain pressure on Cao Jun. Not to mention that Gan Ning led the navy to raid the coast of Qingzhou, and formed an effective echo with Donglai Tai Shi Ci, which was enough to make Man Chong dare not act rashly in Qingzhou.

Dongjun is the place where Cao ** made his fortune.

If Dongjun loses, Yanzhou will be in chaos......

For this reason, Cao ** had to be transferred from Qingzhou to garrison Dongjun in order to give Cao Chun enough support. Yu Ban, the word of the table, is also one of the five good generals under Cao ** in history. He is good at war, proficient in the art of war, and longer in governing the army, so he can effectively complement Cao Chun. The most important thing is that Yu Ban is very stable and can provide Cao Chun with enough support so that he will not mess up.

It's just that after Yu Ban was transferred to Dongjun, Qingzhou was short of manpower.

After some discussion with Dong Zhao Xunyou, Cao ** ordered Sikong Mansion Xi to order Shi Liang Xi to be the Taishou of Beihai to resist Tai Shi Ci......

This Liang Xi, whose name is Ziyu, is a native of Chen Guozhe in Yuzhou, and he is a rare all-rounder during the Three Kingdoms period.

In terms of bravery, Liang Xi is not at all right. But in terms of talent, this person is the pillar of Cao Wei in history. He served as the chief of Zhang, and later served as the chief official of the Chengshi, Haixi, and Xiapi, and during his tenure, he was able to govern his subordinates very well.

Historically, Cao ** captured the state, and Liang Xi led the state with Sima of other departments to assassinate the state.

At that time, Bingzhou had just experienced the rebellion of the high cadres, desolate and barren, with the Hu Di rebellion outside, and the powerful and domineering inside, and the people rebelled and joined their tribes; The soldiers support the crowd, as a victim. It can be said that at that time, the annexation of the state was extremely chaotic, even to the point that no one wanted to go. After Liang Xi took office, he recruited talents, quickly formed the shogunate, and quickly pacified the chaos, exterminated the strong and powerful, and stabilized the annexation of the state.

At that time, someone commented: I thought I had heard about it, and I had never learned about it.

Among the people I have passed, seen, and heard of, there are almost no people who can surpass Liang Xi in the history of assassination......

What a clever evaluation this is, and it can be seen that Liang Xi's talent is outstanding. Let Liang Xi go to Qingzhou and do the duty of the Beihai Taishou is the most suitable for the current situation. Because Cao ** knows very well that Tai Shici's danger is only limited to Donglai. As long as he can't get past the glue, he can't really threaten the stability of Qingzhou. In this case, it is not appropriate to send a general to go, as long as Tai Shici can be blocked to the east of the glue, Qingzhou can be guaranteed to be stable...... And as long as Qingzhou doesn't cause chaos, it's generally fine.

Liang Xi is located in Beihai, which is the most suitable......

With the opening of the Battle of Tiger Prison, whether it is the Cao army or the Han army, the deployment of troops is becoming more and more frequent.

And Sun Quan, who is in Jiangdong, as well as Liu Biao and Liu Bei, who are far away in Jingzhou, including Liu Zhang in Xichuan, are all paying attention to the duel between Cao ** and Liu Chuang. Almost everyone can feel that this duel between Cao ** and Liu Chuang will be related to the future belonging of the north. Whoever can win will dominate the north...... This situation is so similar to the battle of Guandu a few years ago.

At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao ** were also in such a situation, and as a result, Yuan Shao was defeated in the first battle of Guandu.

Now, Yuan Shao has been replaced by Liu Chuang, so who will die in this duel between him and Cao **? It also makes countless people worry about it.

If Cao wins, the north will form a secession.

In the short term, it is impossible for Liu Chuang and Cao ** to defeat each other......

But if Liu Chuang wins, then ......

Do you sit back and watch the tiger fight, or do you have to make a choice? The princes of all walks of life also fell into deep thought.

It's just that no matter what choice they make in the end, the decisive battle between Liu Chuang and Cao ** Weng Son-in-law also kicked off with Cao **'s return to Xudu...... (To be continued.) )
