"My lord!" Zhou Tai was the closest, jumped up and grabbed Sun Quan's arm.

"Don't stop me!" Sun Quan struggled and shouted: "Zhou Tai, do you dare to disobey?" ”

"It's the last general's poor guard, the lord wants to kill, kill the last general first!" Zhou Tai's arms were like iron hoops, and he turned to himself with a backlash grasping the blade.

"Stop!" Cheng Pu stood up, snatched the ancient ingot knife, and shouted: "The foundation of the third emperor of Eastern Wu and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can the lord give up easily?" ”

This shout was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Sun Quan was shocked, took two steps back and leaned on the side of the ship, and said abruptly: "Even if you are famous, what face do I have to lead the three armies?" ”

Cheng Pu persuaded: "In the past, Gaozu was defeated repeatedly, and in the next battle, he opened the foundation of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, how can he judge heroes by success or failure?" The lord inherits the inheritance of his father and brother, and the safety of Jiangdong is at stake, so he must not forget the deathbed trust of Wu Hou. ”

The generals also knelt down and begged, Sun Quan stood silently for a long time before he reluctantly agreed, and he was defeated and frustrated in this battle.

The herald ordered the generals to reorganize their troops and horses, train the naval army in Chaohu, and send people to Lujiang to report the news, and transfer Zhou Yu to the front line to preside over the overall situation and avenge the shame.

……

Eastern Wu sent troops to attack Lujiang and attack Hefei, and the news reached Xuchang, and all the civil and military forces were shocked.

Cao Cao Nanyang was defeated, 300,000 troops were annihilated, since returning to Xuchang, he was groggy all day, muttering "disaster of fire and water", who dares to add fuel to the fire at this time?

Cao Hong and Cao Xiu consulted with Xun Yu, and Xun Yu said: "Sun Quan saw the defeat of Prime Minister Nanyang, and wanted to take the opportunity to take Huainan. ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "What if you wait for Zhou Yu to go to Huainan?" ”

Xun Yu said: "General Xiahou Yuan is in Xuzhou, he will not sit idly by, as long as Zhang Liao blocks Sun Quan, deploys defenses along the river, and Dongwu crosses the river to the north, there is no benefit of boats, so there is no need to worry." ”

Cao Xiu frowned and said, "Then how to prepare now?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Now that Nanyang has been lost, Liu Qi's voice is great, and the top priority is to rescue the two generals Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and stabilize the people's hearts......"

After a pause, he said: "Cheng Zhongde's matter has made the prime minister lose hope in the world, so he must make a decision as soon as possible to save face." ”

Cao Xiu looked at Xun Yu's eyes, his heart was weak for a while, and he coughed lightly: "Mr. has a good plan?" ”

Xun Yu wanted to speak and stopped: "The stakes are very high, we can only wait for the prime minister's condition to improve and discuss together." ”

"Sun Quan'er, ungrateful!" Cao Hong scolded: "The prime minister can't be a director at the moment, I'll go to Huainan in person and ask Biyaner in person." ”

Xun Yu nodded and said: "The matter of Yangzhou requires the general to stabilize the army's heart, and if General Cao wants to go, it is the best." ”

After the two left, Xun Yu sighed helplessly, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and saw that Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao were there, discussing the matter of moving the capital.

Liu Qi took Nanyang and may send troops to Xuchang at any time, and those civil and military forces in the DPRK and China are also ready to move, if they collude secretly, then it will be worth it?

Everyone has reached an agreement on the relocation of the capital, but whether to move to Luoyang or Yecheng, several people can't argue.

Although Luoyang is the imperial capital, after being burned by Dong Zhuo, most of it became ruins, in disrepair, and has long been deserted.

To rebuild and repair, the cost is very high, Cao Cao has just pacified the north, and he is still fighting everywhere, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food are in short supply, not to mention repairing the palace.

And Cao Cao opened the government in Yecheng to govern affairs, just for convenience, there is no need to meet and greet in the morning and evening, everything is set up to discuss, and decisions are made in a single set.

If the Son of Heaven is moved to Yecheng, he will have to be the same as Xuchangshi, being stared at by those ministers everywhere, and there will be many troubles.

Xun Yu smiled after hearing this: "The prime minister has his own decision on the matter of moving the capital, and he can hand it over to the civil and military forces to do it as usual, and we should share the worries of the prime minister." ”

Jiang Ji was puzzled: "Moving the capital is related to the foundation of the country, and preparing for this matter in advance is to share the worries of the prime minister, what is more important than this?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Save Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun." ”

Everyone bowed their heads when they heard this, this matter was said to be a state affair, and it was said that it was a private matter of the Cao family if it was small, and they interfered rashly, if they annoyed Liu Qi and killed the two, who would be responsible?

Dong Zhao asked quietly, "I don't know what Ming Gong's good plan is?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Liu Qi's detention of the two generals did not hurt his life, he must be like last time, he has something to ask the prime minister, you can send someone to negotiate first, test Liu Qi's intentions, and when the prime minister's condition improves, it is better to discuss it in time." ”

Dong Zhao nodded and said: "What Ming Gong said is very true, I will immediately send someone to Jingzhou to test Liu Qi's intentions." ”

Xun Yu asked again: "Cheng Zhongde's matter is already known to the world, do you have a remedy?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Jiang Ji asked rhetorically, "What is Wen Ruo's opinion?" ”

This matter is more sensitive, everyone knows that there must be Cao Cao nodding behind him, and making arbitrary comments will cause death, and if one is not handled carelessly, it will leave a stench for thousands of years, who dares to come forward?

Nowadays, the three most important major events are all vying to do the seemingly urgent, but in fact inconsequential relocation of the capital, saving people and making up for it, and no one dares to make up for it.

Xun Yu sighed secretly in his heart, all of them are old foxes, although he has countermeasures, he can't overstep his bounds, or he can only wait for Cao Cao to make a decision.

Hearing the Nanyang war report, Xun Yu was shocked, and he couldn't imagine that Cheng Yu would openly kill people to make military rations in Nanyang, which was no better than when he was in Yanzhou.

When he recommended Cheng Yu, he called him a "Yanzhou Magi", but he didn't expect to do things so ruthlessly, it was simply inhumane, and he died in the chaos this time, I don't know whether to be happy or worried.

In recent years, Cao Cao has been working hard to improve his prestige, maintain the court, and his prestige after sweeping the north, but this move made him plummet and scolded by the world.

Although Cheng Yu said that he avoided a mutiny, the matter was exposed, which was more serious than the slaughter of Xuzhou, and he would definitely be scolded by future generations, and only Cheng Yu should bear it, which was not enough for the people to be angry.

Back home, Xun Yu hid in the study, his heart was heavy, the battle of Nanyang made him quite disappointed in Cao Cao, but he had some expectations for Liu Qi's rise.

"Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!" After a long time, Xun Yu suddenly sighed softly.

That night, the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly sent someone to invite Jia Xu to meet Cao Cao with Cao Xiu.

Cao Cao was lying on the bed, sluggish, Cao Cao: "What is the situation in Nanyang today?" ”

Cao Xiu said: "Liu Qi did not send troops, but Sun Quan took the opportunity to go north......"

Cao Cao's face changed slightly, and Cao Xiu hurriedly changed his words: "However, although Lujiang is lost, Zhang Liao broke Sun Quan in Hefei and shocked Jiangdong, and the third uncle has rushed to Yangzhou to assist, so the prime minister does not have to worry about it." ”

"Blue-eyed ......" Cao Cao snorted slightly, and suddenly wept and said: "Nanyang is a lonely and sad place, Cheng Gong mistook me, it's a pity to sigh!" ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly comforted: "The imperial court has sent an envoy to Jingzhou to negotiate, and will definitely try to rescue the two generals." ”

Cao Cao sighed, looked at Jia Xu, who was holding his arms and said nothing, and said: "Although Cheng Yu died in the king's affairs, what he did was probably not enough to make the people angry. ”
