Yuzhou, Xuchang.

In the Great Sima Mansion in Xuchang City, Cao Xiu, the Great Sima of Cao Wei, who had not been in office for a long time, was pulling Wang Ji to play chess together.

Wang Ji is Cao Ei's confidant, and he should have been by Cao Ei's side to give advice.

But in order to increase his knowledge, Wang Ji took the initiative to ask Cao Rong to transfer him to Yuzhou.

Regarding Wang Ji's request, Cao Rong finally agreed.

So when Cao Xiu left Yecheng, Wang Ji traveled south with the army as a general of Pingnan.

Cao Xiu knew that Wang Ji was Cao Rong's confidant, and the most important thing was that Cao Xiu learned the real reason why Wang Ji invited him to Yuzhou from Cao Rong's mouth.

When Mi Yang was still in Chang'an, most of the ministers in the Cao Wei government and the opposition thought that Mi Yang would not leave Chang'an lightly.

At that time, there were only a few people in Wang Ji, but they had the unique idea that Mi Yang would definitely come to Jingzhou in person in the future.

Before Mi Yang came to Jingzhou in the future, the ideas of Wang Ji and others might be considered quite absurd.

But when the news of Mi Yang's arrival in Jingzhou reached Yuzhou, anyone would be impressed by Wang Ji's anticipatory opportunity.

Cao Xiu is no exception to this.

Because of his appreciation of Wang Ji's talent, since he came to Xuchang, Cao Xiu has always taken Wang Ji with him as a think tank.

Halfway through the chess game, Cao Xiu glanced at Wang Ji in front of him, and then looked at a young man who was watching the chess game beside him.

"Shizhi, who do you think will win today's game?"

Cao Xiu asked this sentence with a gentle face.

The young man who was questioned by Cao Xiu was named Wang Jun, and the word Shizhi was Shizhi.

Wang Jun is a native of Hongnong County, and he was born in a well-known family in Hongnong County.

Wang Jun was well-read when he was young, and his appearance was extraordinary, but he didn't practice etiquette when he was a child, so his reputation in the township was not obvious.

It was only after he became an adult that Wang Jun changed his ambition and became hearty and ambitious.

A few years ago, Wang Jun, who had just come of age, was recruited by the governor of the prefecture and county to engage in Hedong, because Wang Jun was a solemn and upright person, and some officials who had ghosts in their hearts heard that he had arrived and left the wind.

After hearing about Wang Jun's reputation, Xu Miao, the assassin of Youzhou, took the opportunity of the banquet to let his daughter secretly refer to Wang Jun as her husband.

Because he valued Wang Jun, he made him his son-in-law, so after his daughter married Wang Jun, Xu Miao has been using his influence to contribute to Wang Jun's career.

It happened that after Cao Xiu became the Great Sima, because he felt that the threat of Mi Yang was getting bigger and bigger, he learned Cao Cao's behavior of seeking talents, and recruited young talents from Cao Wei to come to Xuchang with the respect of the Great Sima.

It was with this opportunity that Wang Jun was fortunate to become Cao Xiu's courtier.

And Cao Xiu noticed that Wang Jun was a very talented person by chance, and Xu Miao and Cao Xiu had an old relationship before, so Cao Xiu became closer and closer to Wang Jun.

In Cao Xiu's heart, Wang Jun's talent is not under Wang Ji.

After hearing Cao Xiu's inquiry, if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely welcome him in order to please Cao Xiu.

But Wang Jun is different from ordinary people.

After taking a serious look at the chess game, Wang Jun said solemnly, "It should be General Pingnan who will win in the end."

Wang Jun came from a famous family and was proficient in chess since he was a child, and he believed that his judgment would not be wrong.

And after Cao Xiu listened to Wang Jun's answer, there was a look of crying and laughing on his face.

"You, you! The personality is too upright, no wonder it has always had a bad reputation."

Cao Xiu's words seemed to be blaming Wang Jun, but it was not difficult to hear from his tone that he liked Wang Jun's unpretentious personality very much.

After "criticizing" Wang Jun, Cao Xiu looked at Wang Ji again.

Cao Xiu asked Wang Jidao, "Boyu, do you think Lone should send troops?"

What Cao Xiu asked was one thing that he had been upset about recently.

Xu Sheng had already come to Xuchang a few days ago.

As Lu Xun instructed, as soon as Xu Sheng saw Cao

When he was resting, he eagerly asked him for help and asked him to immediately send troops to Yiyang.

But Cao Xiu did not immediately respond to Xu Sheng.

What Xu Sheng said, Cao Xiu didn't understand.

There are only two places that make Cao Xiu hesitate.

The first place is: since Xu Sheng came to ask for help for Wu Guo, then according to common sense, Xu Sheng must have at least one official document in his hand.

It's a pity that Xu Sheng didn't.

This made Cao Xiu faintly feel that there was something untrue in Xu Sheng's words.

The second place is: under the blows of Miyang for several years, the military strength of the Wei army has long been incomparable with the past.

In addition, it has not been a year since the end of the Battle of Guanzhong, and the current Wei army will still be uncontrollably afraid when they mention Miyang.

The military strength is declining, and the morale of the army is unstable.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Cao Xiu did not have many cards to play.

And Cao Xiu also knew that for the sake of Great Wei, he couldn't act like Cao Ren and Cao Zhen before, and Meng Lang did.

If there is another fiasco like the Battle of Guanzhong, I am afraid that this Central Plains will also fall into the hands of Mi Yang.

Thinking of these two places, even Cao Xiu, who has always had a fierce personality, had to hesitate.

Cao Xiu's hesitant look, Wang Ji didn't notice it.

But his answer seemed very firm.

"Yes!"

After answering Cao Xiu, Wang Ji continued to express his opinion.

"Sun Quan is known for his knowledge, and if Lu Xun can be entrusted with important tasks by him, then he must not be a mecre talent.

Although Lu Xun did not send a formal request for help to Da Sima, if it were not for the urgency of the matter, Lu Xun would not rashly contact Da Sima.

Although Da Sima's concerns are not unreasonable, he should continue to suffer from the chaos, and hope that Da Sima will think about it."

After listening to Wang Ji's answer, Cao Xiu pinched the chess pieces in his hand and couldn't fall for a long time.

He was thinking about Wang Ji's words repeatedly.

Just when Cao Xiu couldn't make up his mind, someone outside the door came in and reported:

"Great Sima, Wu General Xu Sheng is out asking to see you."

As soon as he heard that Xu Sheng was coming again, Cao Xiu's brows furrowed.

But because of the alliance between the two countries, Cao Xiu still asked Xu Sheng to be brought in.

Xu Sheng, who had an urgent look on his face, was soon brought to Cao Xiu's side.

After seeing Cao Xiu, Xu Sheng couldn't hide the eagerness in his heart, and hurriedly bowed to Cao Xiu and said:

"Sheng Fangcai has just received an official document from the Great General.

Han Zong rebelled and now occupies Yong'an!"

"Cao Da Sima, I hope you don't forget the alliance between the two countries, and quickly send troops to help!"

At this time, Xu Sheng handed over the paperwork in his hand with tears in his eyes.

With his loyal and patriotic thoughts, he can't wait to return to Lu Xun immediately and do his part for Dawu.

Xu Sheng's words made Cao Xiu's face change greatly.

He suddenly got up and took the document from Xu Sheng's hand and looked at it seriously.

After seeing the above content, which was half the same as what Xu Sheng said, Cao Xiu's face became more and more difficult to look at.

It's only been a few days, and the thief's movements are too fast!

And just after Cao Xiu read the contents of the document, Wang Ji, who was sitting on the couch, directly pushed the chessboard on the case away.

With the sound of chess pieces falling to the ground, Wang Ji came to Cao Xiu's side and persuaded him:

"When the interruption continues, the chaos is suffered.

Great Sima!"

After Wang Ji persuaded him, Wang Jun also bowed to Cao Xiu and persuaded:

"If we don't fight now, when the thieves succeed, we can all surrender!"

Wang Jun's words still sound so harsh.

But it was Wang Jun's harsh advice that woke Cao Xiu up painfully.

Cao Xiu slowly raised his hands and said:

"These lonely hands also captured fierce horses and descended fierce tigers back then.

But now, how

How dare you dwell in a room, and be indecided, and be a woman?"

Self-deprecating laughter came out of Cao Xiu's mouth.

After the self-deprecating laughter gradually stopped, Cao Xiu pinched the chess piece that had not yet been played in his hand.

He turned around and saw the chessboard that had been pushed away by Wang Ji, and at this time, many chess pieces were scattered on the chessboard, as if they had formed the shape of an elk.

In a trance, Cao Xiu felt as if the elk on the chessboard had come to life, and whispered in his ear:

"Do you dare to come?"

Unbridled taunts!

However, he was qualified enough to mock.

It's just that you won't dare?

"You're my Cao family's thousand-mile horse!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xiu took a deep breath, he took a few steps forward and returned to the chessboard, raised the chess pieces in his hand, and slammed them towards the heart of the elk on the chessboard.

At the same time, a decisive order came from Cao Xiu's mouth:

"Gather an army and fight the thieves!"

I'll come.

...

Looking at the rain curtain between heaven and earth, Han Zong's expression was much more relaxed than a few days ago.

Stepping on the muddy land made Han Zong feel a sense of security.

But Han Zong was not in a hurry to express his inner pride to his subordinates, and now he was standing at the gate of the city, waiting for a person to arrive.

can make Han Zong brave the heavy rain to greet the person in person, and his identity must be unusual.

That person was no stranger, it was Shi Bao.

After Mi Yang learned the news that Han Zong had won Yong'an, he sent Han Zong his own handwritten letter the next day.

In the letter, Mi Yang stated that he had a premonition that the northern Wei army would have bad actions, so he would come to Yong'an City at a later date.

But in order to reassure Han Zong, Mi Yang explained to Han Zong that he would let Shi Bao come to Yong'an City.

Shi Bao, Han Zong has heard some of his reputation.

Of course, this is not because of Shi Bao's identity, after all, Shi Bao's identity at the moment is really not prominent in the Han army.

This is because of Shi Bao's move to find the Lord for thousands of miles.

Han Zong, who knew such a feat, naturally saw Mi Yang's thoughts.

"Da Sima is really generous, he is afraid that I will be uneasy, and he wants to put his faith in my hands!"

Han Zong, who read the letter at that time, sincerely expressed his feelings to his subordinates.

And Han Zong, who can understand Mi Yang's intentions, will definitely attach great importance to the arrival of Shi Bao.

Early this morning, Han Zong waited outside the city gate early, letting the heavy rain hit the hem of his clothes.

When the time came to noon, Han Zong finally saw a group of people vaguely in the rain curtain.

After the team came to the front and confirmed their identities with Han Zong's subordinates, Han Zong immediately greeted them.

Han Zong looked at Shi Bao, who was soaking wet, and he personally helped Shi Bao off his horse with an apologetic face.

Later, Han Zong even took an umbrella and personally covered the stone bud.

Han Zong's enthusiasm and humility made Shi Bao a little uncomfortable.

According to the news he got before, Han Zong's behavior is quite crazy.

How can he do it to such an extent in front of himself?

But such a question, Shi Bao will not ask it face-to-face.

When walking towards the city with Han Zong, Shi Bao took the lead and said to Han Zong:

"Before coming, Da Sima instructed Bud to apologize to the general."

Shi Bao's words made Han Zong instantly flattered.

Of course, he knew why Mi Yang would apologize to him.

If Shi Bud hadn't come, with his character, he would definitely be irritable and even insult Mi Yang.

But now the stone bud is here!

As long as Shi Bud is in Yong'an, Han Zong is willing to believe everything Mi Yang said.

After listening to Shi Bao's words, Han Zong hurriedly bent over and bowed to the west

Road:

"Da Sima, this is a torment!"

Da Sima was able to see the subtleties and perceive the changes in the Northern Wei Dynasty in advance, which just shows the wisdom of Da Sima.

With such a wise lord, it is too late to rejoice, how can he have other ideas?"

Han Zong's words were really the true thoughts in his heart.

But Han Zong's words made Shi Bao feel a little cold.

Before coming, Shi Bao had read all the information about Han Zong.

Han Zong in the intelligence is like a completely different person from the Han Zong he has seen with his own eyes so far.

But Shi Bao knew that this just proved that Han Zong was an extremely dangerous person.

After deepening his understanding of Han Zong in his heart, he came to Shibao in front of the city gate and quickly found that something was wrong.

I saw that in front of the city gate, many of the horses were damaged.

Shi Bao knew that this was due to the continuous heavy rain in recent days.

But Shi Bao wondered, why didn't Han Zong step up repairs?

Shi Bud asked the doubts in his heart.

"The big war is coming, why doesn't the general renovate the city defenses?"

Shi Bao's words made Han Zong laugh out loud:

"Don't worry too much about it, Zongyuan is committed to the reverse Wu, and knows the disadvantages of the reverse Wu.

"Although the distance from Xiakou to Yong'an is not far, Sun Quan has always been taboo for his subordinates to make their own opinions.

Maybe Lu Xun has already received the news of my righteousness at the moment.

But with the anti-Wu system, the first thing Lu Xun should do after learning the news was to cousin Sun Quan.

After Sun Quan received the news, he also sent an edict to Lu Xun.

This can be repeated for as little as a few days and as long as half a month.

Coupled with the current thunderstorms and muddy roads, Wu Jun has been peaceful for several years, and he has long since lost his bloody nature.

Lu Xun would not lead his army until the rain stopped and the sun dried the road.

This will take at least another half a month.

Added up before and after, it may take a month for Wu Jun to come here.

In January, when will Yong'an's city defenses not be renovated? When should a sergeant's weapon not be sharpened?

Don't rush.

I will first bring my feet into the city to rest, and tonight I will hold a banquet to gather the famous people in the city to catch the wind and wash the dust for my feet."

After finishing speaking, Han Zong was about to pull Shi Bao towards the city.

But unexpectedly, Shi Bud did not follow Han Zong into the city directly.

Han Zong's words sound logical and self-consistent, and there is no problem.

In normal times, Shibud will not feel any different.

But before Shi Bud came, Mi Yang had instructed him to be more careful of Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun's ability is not lonely."

Thinking of this, Shi Bao's face became more and more solemn.

Since he was ordered by Mi Yang, he braved the heavy rain to come.

So Wu Jun, will it be the same?
