The news that the three counties of Longyou had surrendered without a fight swept through the entire Guanzhong like a tornado.

In addition to blowing Guanzhong up and down, this tornado approached Luoyang City at an extremely fast speed.

Chang'an, Tongguan, Hangu Pass, when this tornado rushed through these three places with an unstoppable momentum, it finally reached the imperial capital of Cao Wei, Luoyang City.

And obviously, what kind of effect this tornado achieves in Guanzhong, what kind of effect will it have in Luoyang.

For a while, the entire Luoyang City was disturbed by this tornado, and the people were panicked and frightened.

If Longyou is lost, can Liangzhou hold it?

And if Liangzhou can't hold it, once it is dominated by the Han army, then can Guanzhong be defended?

When these two shocks surfaced in their hearts, in Luoyang City, no one was shocked in their hearts!

Including Cao Rong, who had just taken power, was also shocked by the news after learning the news.

But Cao Rong's psychological quality is also extremely high, he quickly calmed down his mood, and then immediately issued an order to summon the ministers to the palace to discuss.

The influence of this tornado is too great to control its spread, even with Cao Ei's current authority.

Since you can't control it, it's better to spread everything out on the table, so that you can brainstorm instead.

Before Cao Ei's order was issued, almost all the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang City knew the bad news that Liu Bei led the army to attack Longyou, and the three counties of Longyou surrendered without a fight.

Because of this, when the envoys sent by Cao Rong entered the mansion of each dignitary, they did not wait long to bring all the important ministers of the Great Wei to the Chaoyang Hall in the palace one by one.

Chaoyang Hall has the highest status among the palaces of the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Because since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been the place where the emperors of the past dynasties held court meetings.

Not long ago, Cao Pi officially issued an edict and canonized Cao Ei as the prince of Great Wei.

But after all, the crown prince is only a prince, and in the past, Cao Ei could not preside over the council of ministers in the Chaoyang Palace - this has always been a power that Cao Pi can have.

Cao Ei did this in a grand manner at the moment, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this matter must have been approved by Cao Pi, or even Cao Pi's wish.

And what does this mean?

It seems that His Majesty's body is getting worse and worse.

Those who are qualified to go to Chaoyang Hall to participate in the parliament are all people who have been in the officialdom for many years, how can they not make such a simple political judgment?

But after thinking of this, every Wei Chen who went to Chaoyang Hall showed deep concern on their faces.

Especially those Cao clan relatives.

They looked up at the normally gloomy sky of late.

Although they went to the rising sun, how could the rising sun have favored them?

Under the apprehension and suspicion in their hearts, a group of important ministers of the Great Wei met outside the palace gate, and then lined up in two rows with each other and walked towards the Chaoyang Hall under the leadership of the inner attendants.

Soon after, a group of Great Wei ministers arrived outside the Chaoyang Palace.

After the flurry of roll calls sounded, one after another Cao Wei and his ministers walked into the Chaoyang Hall one after another.

As soon as each of the ministers entered the palace, they saw Cao Rong, the crown prince of the imperial state, sitting next to the throne.

Except for Cao Ei sitting on the steps, the Chaoyang Hall was already full of sergeants, and even Xu Chu, the tiger guard general with a big waist and round shoulders, was guarding Cao Ei with a halberd.

Xu Chu had a majestic posture and a resolute face, and the appearance of him and many tiger guards added a solemn atmosphere to the entire Chaoyang Hall out of thin air.

From this solemn atmosphere, it can be seen that Cao Rong is in a very bad mood now.

Cao Rong, who was wearing the crown of Jiuliu, did not directly start the discussion after seeing that most of the important ministers had already arrived.

He simply asked the official to signal the arriving ministers to take their seats first, and then he closed his eyes as if waiting for something.

Cao Ei's silence made the ministers who arrived at Chaoyang Hall even more worried in their hearts.

Although Cao Ei is Cao Pi's eldest son, and now he is the crown prince of Great Wei, because Cao Pi is very taboo about relatives and ministers.

Therefore, in the past days, Cao Rong was basically kept in the deep palace, and had little contact with outside ministers.

Of course, when Cao Ei was a child, Cao Cao took Cao Ei to a banquet, but how many years ago was that?

Not to mention whether the ministers saw Cao Ei's temperament and intelligence in those few pitiful banquets, even if they saw it, after so many years, there is no guarantee that Cao Ei will be the same as when he was a child.

After all, it's been a long time, and it's not uncommon in the world to have a big or bad case.

Because of this, except for the previous Cao Ei who shocked the ministers with his fishing skills, the ministers knew almost nothing about Cao Ei's other aspects.

The lord's preferences and talents are not known to his subordinates, which is a dangerous thing in the first place, and Cao Rong's silent behavior and gloomy face at the moment made the ministers even more overwhelmed.

Although the Cao family has the habit of honing the heir, it is well known that once the heir is established, the owner of the Cao family spares no effort to protect the heir.

Wasn't Yecheng's "Wei Sarcasm Conspiracy Case" a political purge carried out by Cao Cao to pave the way for Cao Pi?

During that purge, thousands of people were executed on the banks of the Zhanghe River outside Yecheng.

With such a tragic precedent, the ministers did not want to provoke Cao Rong and cause the tragedy that Wei Wei suffered back then.

Just when the hearts of the ministers in the Chaoyang Hall became more and more panicked, and the suspicion in their hearts deepened, a loud roll call appeared outside the main hall.

"Taiwei Shouxiang Marquis Jia Xu is here!"

When the ceremonial official shouted this sentence loudly, after it was transmitted into the main hall, Cao Rong, who was originally recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a look of anticipation on his face, he looked at the temple door.

Not only Cao Rong was like this, but the ministers in the hall who had been waiting for a long time also looked at the door of the hall.

Compared with Cao Ei's expectant gaze, the eyes of the ministers seemed to be quite meaningful.

Jia Xu's reputation in the world is very poor.

How bad is it, almost the same as Ma Chao.

One is a model of disobedience to loyalty and benevolence, and the other is a parade of disobedience to filial piety.

At the beginning, after Sun Quan learned that Jia Xu had become the third duke of Cao Wei, he openly ridiculed Cao Pi and sarcastically handed over the high position of the third duke to someone like Jia Xu, and Guozuo would not last long.

And the important thing is that not only Sun Quan has this view, but also has a lot of resistance within Cao Wei to Jia Xu becoming the third duke.

For example, after Hua Xin and Wang Lang saw Jia Xu enter the palace, the two of them directly put on a stinky face.

A look of reluctance to be with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is an extremely smart person, and of course he knows how his bad reputation will make the world perceive him.

Therefore, since he joined Cao Cao, he has been very low-key.

According to common sense, this kind of parliament today, with his character, will never take the initiative to participate.

But even if Jia Xu is low-key, the trajectory of his life in this life has changed.

In this life, he is the crown prince and concubine of Cao Ei.

Jia Tu strongly invited, and the current situation is indeed critical, what reason does Jia Xu have not to show up?

It's a pity that even if Jia Xu has the heart to plan for Dawei today, his physical condition is already very unoptimistic.

Jia Xu in this world may have had expectations in his heart, so he lived a few months longer than in history.

But no matter how high the expectations in my heart are, it is impossible to disobey the things of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Since last month, Jia Xu has been in trouble.

Up to now, Jia Xu's physical condition is no longer optimistic.

He came to Zhaoyang Hall today and was carried all the way in a soft sedan chair.

When the soft sedan chair appeared at the entrance of the hall, Cao Rong couldn't wait to walk down the steps and walk in the direction of the temple gate.

As the prince of Great Wei, he wanted to personally welcome Jia Xu into the palace.

Cao Ei's temperament is very similar to Cao Cao's.

Cao Rong hated flashy celebrities the most in his life, on the contrary, he didn't mind using those who had real talent and learning, no matter how bad their reputation was.

And when employing this part of the talent, Cao Rong will also show enough courtesy and corporal demeanor.

I saw Cao Rong, who was wearing the crown prince's crown robe, walking towards the soft sedan chair step by step, and the eyes of the ministers in the palace became trance-like.

Emperor Wu's three expeditions to Wancheng finally made Zhang Xiu surrender.

When accepting Zhang Xiu's courtiers, Emperor Wu saw Zhang Xiu's other courtiers' faces very plain, but when he saw Jia Xu, Cao Cao was like Cao Rong is now leaving his seat to greet him.

It seems that the sentence that circulates in the market: "This subclass is me" is really what Emperor Wu said before his death.

And after Cao Rong quickly came to the door of the palace, he heard a small coughing sound coming from the soft sedan chair, which made Cao Rong's heart worry.

But at present, the state affairs are urgent, and Cao Rong cannot be hesitant.

After the soft sedan chair was put down at the door of the hall, Cao Rong stepped forward to personally help Jia Xu down from the soft sedan chair.

Originally, with Jia Xu's character, he would not let himself be so swaggering in front of everyone, but the soft sedan chair was given by Cao Rong, and the people who carried the soft sedan chair were also tiger guards, and they did not obey Jia Xu's orders.

One of the reasons why Cao Rong wanted to give Jia Xu a soft sedan chair was that he knew that Jia Xu was unwell, so he asked him to walk by himself, which was undoubtedly embarrassing him.

Another reason is that Cao Rong wants to use today's actions to tell the world a fact - as long as anyone can make suggestions, then whoever can be treated by Dawei will be respected.

Jia Xu can survive, let alone others?

How could Jia Xu not see Cao Rong's thoughts?

Therefore, after being helped out of the soft sedan chair by Cao Ei himself, he held a wooden staff in one hand, and Cao Ei carried the other hand towards the hall naturally.

After bringing Jia Xu into the hall, Cao Rong directly arranged Jia Xu in the seat closest to his seat.

Jia Xu's seat was even closer to Cao Rong than Wang Lang and Hua Xin's.

This can disgust Wang Lang and Hua Xin.

Hua Xin, who has a sleek personality, may still hide his emotions in front of Cao Rong, but Wang Lang, who has a strong personality, can't care so much, and his face is now gloomy than the dark clouds outside.

However, Cao Rong didn't care what Hua Xin and Wang Lang thought, these two were originally the auspicious babies of Da Wei.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Cao Rong told Jia Xu about the urgent military information he had received.

And after Jia Xu listened, there was no obvious shock on his face.

He knew about it before he came.

Or in the current Luoyang City, which minister doesn't know?

After talking about the military situation, Cao Rong finally revealed the anger in his heart:

"Before, the general came to report, saying that Mi Yang led the main force of the Han army and appeared outside Chang'an City, intending to be unfavorable to Chang'an City.

Under such circumstances, Lone continuously mobilized troops from all over the country to go to Chang'an.

Lone even asked the general to transfer Longyou's troops to Chang'an!

But the result? ”

"There is the main force of the thief army in Chang'an, and there is the main force of the thief army in Longyou, how many main forces does the thief army have?

Could it be that Zhuge Liang will scatter beans and become a soldier! ”

Speaking of this, the more Cao Rong thought about it, the more angry he became.

It's not that he is easy to be deceived, it's that he is far away in Luoyang, and the military situation can only be judged by what Cao Zhen reported.

After Cao Zhen said that the main force of the Han army was outside Chang'an, Cao Rong definitely supported Cao Zhen's proposal to concentrate troops in Chang'an.

But who would have expected that the "accurate" military information given to him by Cao Zhen was actually a big hole!

At this point, the intelligent Cao Rong didn't know that the so-called main force of the Han army led by Mi Yang was actually just a suspicious army.

Because Liu Bei's more than 40,000 Han troops clearly appeared on the land of Longyou, but Miyang's so-called 100,000 troops have been hiding in the camp, and at most thousands of soldiers and horses came out at one time.

Moreover, even if the Han army has won consecutive battles recently, the national strength is there, and the fifty or sixty thousand regular army should be the largest force that Yizhou can pull out in a short period of time.

Since there are more than 40,000 Han troops in Longyou, how many soldiers and horses can actually be under Miyang's tent?

It is obvious that this is the Han army's plan to attack the east and the west.

What's even more obvious is that Longyou was miserable by this plan to attack the west.

Isn't the surrender of the three counties of Nan'an without a fight the best proof?

Is there such a pit for nephews?

When Cao Rong shouted the last sentence "But what about the result" to the ministers, the ministers in the palace lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Cao Rong.

At the moment when Liu Bei's army appeared in Longyou, Mi Yang's plan to attack the west was not difficult to be seen through.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhu Weichen was ashamed, and on the other hand, because this was Cao Rong's family matter, they did not dare to speak rashly.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, dodging his gaze, Cao Rong also knew that this was not the time to be accountable, so he looked at the ministers and asked:

"Now the thief army has swept through the three counties of Longyou, and Liangzhou is about to be lost, I don't know what strategy Zhu Qing has to help the lonely enemy?"

Cao Rong did not expect that he would encounter such a major danger as soon as he took office.

But fortunately, Cao Ei was much calmer than Cao Pi, so Cao Ei only vented his emotions for a while, and quickly turned his attention to the most urgent things at the moment.

Among the many Cao Wei ministers, there are not only those who are cowering.

As soon as Cao Ei's voice fell, a minister got up and bowed to Cao Ei:

"The minister thought that if he wanted to solve the danger in the pass, he must first defeat the thieves entrenched outside Chang'an City.

Since our army knows that the number of thieves is not large, and a large number of our army is gathering in Chang'an, His Royal Highness will not give an order for the general to repel the thieves.

The thief is the courage of the thief army, and as soon as the thief retreats, the morale of the thief army will fall, and Liu Bei's army is deep and helpless and lonely, and it is easy to break. ”

The person who came out to speak was none other than Wang Ling, an old minister of the two dynasties.

Wang Ling was not only born in a high-ranking family, but also had military exploits, so when he came out to make suggestions, many ministers in the palace echoed him.

But the two people in the hall frowned in unison.

One person is Cao Rong, and the other is Jia Xu.

Looking at Wang Ling, who was talking eloquently, Jia Xu angrily tapped the wooden staff in his hand on the ground, and then said categorically:

"Street Pavilion! Street Pavilion! ”

Jia Xu is an old turtle is good, but the turtle is running out of home when it encounters it, so he has to be in a hurry, right?

One chapter today, 2 chapters tomorrow.
