Cao Wei, Luoyang.

The imperial city of Luoyang is now more and more magnificent, and under the continuous urging of Cao Rong, a master of palace architecture, the palace construction work of Luoyang City is in full swing.

The scenery of the Great Wei weather is getting stronger and stronger, which makes Cao Rong's heart very happy, and when he has in-depth exchanges with the beauties in the palace, he is also more energetic.

Some time ago, although he received information, saying that Xiahou Xuan was very brave, leading 5,000 elite Lin Wei out of Chang'an all the way to the west, breaking through the barriers of Wang Ping's 60,000 army, and fighting Wang Ping all the way to Tianshui City, and successfully took over the defense of Tianshui City.

This made Cao Rong feel very excited, and felt that Cao Shuang finally recommended a good candidate this time, this Xiahou Xuan seemed to be Qu Cai before, and he didn't expect him to be able to fight like this.

Soon after, good news came from the north, Sima Yi led a large army, had broken through Xiangping City, and captured Gongsun Yuan's father and son.

This news made Cao Rong very excited, and when he came to the court, he swept away the haze of the past, and smiled at the ministers with a spring breeze on his face:

"Taiwei is worthy of being the Dinghai Divine Needle of my Great Wei, I originally thought that it would take at least half a year for Taiwei to defeat Gongsun Yuan at the earliest, but I didn't expect that Taiwei only took two months to completely level Liaodong, and I was very relieved!"

The ministers hurriedly congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Rong hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Okay, you Aiqing don't have to be polite, my Great Wei has finally been able to get rid of the great trouble of Liaodong Gongsun Yuan, and from now on, I will have no worries in the northeast of Great Wei, so I can concentrate and face Wu Shuxiao." ”

Chen Qun came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that Liaodong is pacified, you should choose a virtuous minister to guard Liaodong, and the minister wants to recommend Yan Rou to enter Liaodong to preside over the overall situation, please ask Your Majesty to adjudicate it." ”

Cao Rong thought for a while: "Yan Rou, the general of Duliao, has been guarding Youzhou for many years, has excellent strategy, is old and heavy, and is deeply loved by Karasuma and Xianbei, and is indeed the best candidate to preside over the overall situation of Liaodong, and he is lonely!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The crowd sang in unison.

Cao Shuang came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that Liaodong has been pacified, the minister thinks that he should immediately transfer the Taiwei squad back to the dynasty, and now Jingzhou and Yongzhou are using troops everywhere, and they urgently need the reinforcement of this strong army under the command of Taiwei, with the power of a great victory, make persistent efforts to repel the enemy army in Wushu." ”

Emperor Gao Tanglong also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what General Wuwei said is reasonable, and he should immediately transfer the army of Taiwei back to the dynasty to repel the enemy of Wu Shu, presumably Wu Shu heard the results of the battle in Liaodong, and saw that after the return of Taiwei's elite soldiers, he will preside over the overall situation, against Lu Xun and Jiang Wei, the enemy will definitely retreat!" ”

Cao Shuang felt that Gao Tanglong had misunderstood his own meaning, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant!"

Cao Rong was a little curious, and asked with a smile: "Oh, what does Aiqing mean?" ”

Cao Shuang said: "The minister thinks that the captain is old, and thousands of miles to go to Liaodong, the road is far away, and it takes a lot of effort, after the class, he should recuperate, as long as the army comes back, whether it is General Biqiu Jian, or the minister himself, he can lead a hundred elite soldiers to defeat Wu Shu." Therefore, the minister's suggestion was that the minister and General Biqiu Jian each led 40,000 elite soldiers and attacked separately to repel the enemy of Wu Shu. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers couldn't help but turn their heads and whispered, discussing whether Cao Shuang's proposal was too jealous and jealous, Sima Yi had made such a miraculous achievement, and before discussing how to reward him, Cao Shuang was about to seize Sima Yi's military power, and they all cast disdainful glances at Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang didn't care at all, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that on the battlefield of Yongzhou, with Xiahou Xuan, Tianshui will definitely be safe, and the minister is willing to recommend himself, and is willing to lead the elite troops into Jingzhou, repel Lu Xun for His Majesty, and recover the three cities of Xinye, Jiangxia, and Xiangyang, so that Dongwu will not dare to go north easily." ”

Looking at Cao Shuang, who was full of ambition, Cao Rong didn't even want to dampen his enthusiasm. In Cao Rong's view, as long as Sima Yi's main force returns to the dynasty, then it is a matter of course to repel Wu Shu's troops, no matter who is sent, it can be done relatively easily, so it may not be impossible to send a chance to Cao Shuang to practice.

Cao Rong was thinking about the pros and cons of Cao Shuang's leading the troops, when suddenly a little eunuch sent an urgent report.

"Report ......!"

The eunuch's unique male duck voice dragged on so high and long that everyone couldn't help but look back at the little eunuch.

I saw that the little eunuch was holding a chicken feather letter in his hand, and it was obvious that the envelope must contain very urgent military information. Cao Ei's close attendant did not dare to slack off, and quickly took the letterhead, put it on a tray and handed it to Cao Ei.

Cao Rong was obviously a little unhappy, thinking that this little eunuch was too out of place, and he was chatting happily at the court, and suddenly sent a chicken feather letter. He took the envelope with a displeased expression and opened it carefully

Suddenly, his pale holes began to enlarge, his eyes widened with anger, and his expression became very complicated.

The content of the chicken feather letter is simple.

"Xiahou Xuan, the general of Chenping North, wept blood to repay His Majesty:

Guo Huai's army is not strict, the army does not obey the orders of the ministers, when the night attack on the Shu camp, each fights, resulting in the army falling into the Shu army surrounding, Guo Huai disobeyed the military order, opened the Tianshui city gate without authorization, resulting in the chaos of the army inside and outside the city, Guo Huai was shot by the Shu general Liu Bao in the chaos, and the Shu army took the opportunity to attack Tianshui.

Deng Ai did not obey the order and led the army to retreat from the south gate, causing the defense of Tianshui City to be empty and falling into the hands of Shu thieves, and the princess of Dongxiang was also captured by Jiang Wei.

After Jiang Wei broke through the sky, he gathered an army of 120,000 troops and approached the city of Chang'an, intending to capture Chang'an, and the minister implored His Majesty to send troops to support, otherwise Chang'an ......would be in danger. ”

Cao Rong suddenly felt a blackness in front of him, as if the heavens and the earth were spinning.

"Guo Huai was killed, Cao Aya was captured, Tianshui fell, and Chang'an was in danger!"

Cao Rong muttered these words in his mouth, and the anger in his heart reached its peak in an instant, he had already been hollowed out by the beauty in the palace, and suddenly felt a burst of qi and blood surging in his weak body, and a surging breath in his throat, and then he didn't hold it, and Cao Rong spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Wow!" With a bang, blood spurted out of Cao Ei's mouth.

All the courtiers were startled and asked in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty!

！ ”

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? ……”

"Oh my God! Your Majesty vomited blood! Doctor Kuaixuan...... Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! ”

The guards were even more chaotic and hurriedly helped Cao Rong up.

After Cao Rong vomited blood, he felt more comfortable, but his face was very pale, as if there was no blood, seeing that all the courtiers had cast concerned eyes, Cao Rong supported his body and said to the courtiers: "Lonely...... It's okay! Don't worry! ”

Chen Qun keenly discovered that Cao Ei's situation happened after reading the letter, so he quickly took the letter from Cao Ei's hand, and unfolded it to finish sweeping it quickly, Chen Qun suddenly felt a little dizzy, and even almost stood unsteadily.

Cao Shuang saw that Chen Qun also showed a strange expression, he was very puzzled, and hurriedly snatched the letter, and after hurriedly scanning it, he scolded bitterly:

"Guo Huai, what kind of battle is this dog fighting? What kind of soldiers are you training for? He didn't listen to orders. There is also which Deng Ai actually escaped without authorization, causing Tianshui to fall, the princess was captured, and the Shu army gathered 120,000 troops in Chang'an. This...... This is simply infuriating General Ben! ”

Cao Shuang's words suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, causing the princes of the court to explode.

"What? Guo Huai died in battle? Tianshui is lost? ……”

"Princess Dongxiang was captured by Jiang Wei? ……”

"120,000 troops besiege Chang'an? Oh my God, that's a good thing! ”

Cao Rong couldn't listen to it anymore, he waved his hand and shouted to the ministers:

"Shut up! The thieves in Shu deceive people too much, they are determined to be alone, and they want to drive in person! ”
