- "Report, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to be the striker, and led an army of 100,000 troops to Hefei City!" ”

Just when Sun Quan and Gu Yong were talking about the topic of "eradicating Lu Xun", the urgent report of Cao Cao's army going south arrived as scheduled.

And this also disrupted Gu Yong, and even Sun Quan's original plan.

"The lord..."Gu Yong arched his hand: "According to the minister's opinion, now the war on the northern front is tight, and there can be no internal chaos, Lu Xun has the heart of not being subordinate, and he should be removed, but the Lu family of Wu County is a big clan of Eastern Wu after all, which is completely different from that Tai Shi Ci and Zhou Gongjin." ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that some people can be killed, but some people can't be killed, otherwise it will definitely cause huge civil strife.

Hearing that he borrowed a knife to kill someone, Sun Quan raised his spirits, and his turquoise eyes were extremely gloomy, "Whose knife to borrow?" And who killed? ”

Gu Yong said softly: "Since he borrowed the knife of Jiaozhou, he killed Lu Xun and the 30,000 Lu family army in Jiaozhou, the lord wants to create an illusion, and the lord trusts Lu Xun, adds troops and food for him, and makes him guilty and meritorious, of course... This is on the surface, secretly the lord only needs to order Lu Meng to cut off the Lu family's food and grass and retreat, so... Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun became trapped beasts..."

Speaking of this, Gu Yong paused for a moment and continued: "After that, when the Lu family's army is exhausted in food and grass and there is no help on all sides... All you need is General Lü Meng to add a fire, which will cause the Jiaozhou soldiers to kill the Lu family army, so that... Lu Xun and the Lu family's army, which made the lord jealous, will all be slaughtered, and the 100,000 family members in Wu County who are involved with the Lu family also have the same hatred for Jiaozhou, and they can still be used by the lord! ”

"In this way, the big trouble of Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun has been quietly solved, but their families have been retained, and Lu Xun will also be like Zhou Gongjin, like that Tai Shici, his name will disappear in this Jiangdong overnight, and will not leave any trace."

This one...

Gu Yong's words made Sun Quan fall into deep thought.

This reminded him that the scene of Tai Shici's "bloody bath" nine years ago was also bloody suppression with one hand and pacification with the other, nine years... The truth is still buried, and when everyone talks about Tai Shici, most of them die of "illness".

Thinking of this, Sun Quan sighed with emotion: "It's been nine years... Gu Lao's scheming has not diminished back then! ”。

It seems that saying these words shows that he has agreed with Gu Yong's method, but...

"There is only one drawback to this scheme." Sun Quan groaned.

"What?"

"What if the Jiaozhou soldiers can't beat Lu Xun after they leave the city?"

This... Gu Yong frowned slightly, in his opinion, theoretically... It should be able to fight.

After all, there is no food...

However, considering that it was Lu Xun, Lu Xun who had not tasted defeat before the first battle in Yulin, then...

"The Lord's concern is..."

"I thought that I still had to send food to Lu Xun." Sun Quan said softly: "It's just that this grain has to be mixed with some other things... If Na Shixie can't slaughter the Lu family's army, then he can only be slaughtered for him alone! ”

One sentence was completed in one go, and Sun Quan's tone became extremely gloomy...

In the whole sentence, there is not the slightest mercy, as if killing an irrelevant person and an irrelevant family.

This thirty-three-year-old lord of Eastern Wu, he has always been such a person.

In his world, there is either friend or foe, and there is no so-called middle ground!

"Lord Mingjian—"

Gu Yong gave up.

Sun Quan waved his long sleeves, "Pass on the edict of Gu, the truth of Jiaozhou is revealed, Lu Xun has been innocent, and ordered Lu Meng to immediately supply the Lu family's army with military rations!" Ordered Lu Xun to re-conquer the state! Wear meritorious service! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan's gaze turned to Gu Yong.

"Old Gu, you have to do this matter personally! Go and tell Na Lu Meng yourself, and let him mix the fire into the rations!" simply let him burn all the Lu Jiajun with a big fire! ”

"Whew... Here! Gu Yongshen bowed his hand.

"Gu Lao, you are Lone's master, and there are not many people who can be trusted."

Sun Quan reached out and patted Gu Yong's shoulder, and his words became more and more meaningful. "From now on, there are only three major families left in Guyao Wu County, and the status of the Gu family can be shaken by no other family!"

Speaking of which...

The topic came to an abrupt end.

Sun Quan waved his hand resolutely, as if all his thoughts had been transferred to another big matter.

"Pass on General Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ran, and pass on the two Mr. Zhang (Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong), Cao Thief's 100,000 army went south, and he wanted to go to Hefei in person to hunt in Huainan and fight it out!"

As soon as this statement came out...

Gu Yong, who had already walked out of the door, paused, he actually wanted to say, "Lord... Why don't we go? ”

But after pondering for a long time, forget it...

He knows this Marquis Wu too well, it's not good to say this... It's deadly.

…

…

Fancheng, Cao Wei's last military meeting came to an end.

The battalions had already been assembled, and the generals could only lead the troops forward.

Sima Yi and Chen Qun were not qualified to participate in such a meeting, but they still heard some clues.

For example, Prime Minister Cao Cao wanted to personally lead an army of 100,000 to Shouchun to hunt in Huainan with Eastern Wu.

For example, an envoy had been sent to inform Yu Ban in Shouchun City, telling him to rush to the south of Nanyang after General Zhang Liao's vanguard army arrived in Shouchun, and lead the Runan soldiers and the defenders of Nanyang to fight Jiangxia back.

For another example, Yongliang's 30,000 soldiers and horses had already arrived in Xinye City, and after crossing the Han River, they were led by Xu Huang to march south to Jiangling.

And Hanzhong...

Of course, these are all general.

Who is the main general, it is decided, but who is the deputy general, who is the army, many civil and military... It is not known who will go with the army and who will stay behind.

Therefore, Sima Yi and Chen Qun waited in front of the mansion of General Wuguan for the first time.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhen strode in, and Chen Qun and Sima Yi hurriedly greeted them.

Sima Yi asked worriedly: "Does Zihuan want to go on the expedition with Prime Minister Cao?" ”

Cao Zhen sighed deeply with a "sigh", "The prime minister asked Zihuan to go to Luoyang City, and Zijian and I will go on an expedition!" ”

The news of Cao Zhi's expedition made Chen Qun frown, and he sighed: "Sure enough, it was Zijian's "Widow Order" that was more favored by the prime minister... It is even more favored by the clan and the soldiers of the three armies... Zijian has become an indispensable presence when he goes on expeditions. ”

Sima Yi comforted: "At this time, staying in Luoyang and building a new Luoyang is not necessarily a bad thing, the princes have always been in charge of the country, Luoyang is the middle of the world, and the prime minister is entrusted with a heavy responsibility to Zhonglang." ”

Cao Pi glanced at Sima Yi, his eyes were a little strange and wanted to say goodbye, and sighed silently, you better come in with me! ”

Not much...

Chen Qun's exclamation came from inside the house, "What? The king specified that he wanted Zhongda to accompany the expedition? ”

Cao Pi nodded, and looked at Sima Yi with some sadness and helplessness, "Father changed your official position to marching Sima, from now on, you will no longer be my subordinate!" ”

Chen Qun was puzzled, "That... What about Lee? ”

Cao Pi said lightly. "My father left him to build a new Luoyang with me."

Sima Yi didn't speak, just smiled faintly.

A letter of "Nine Grades of Officials Law", while Cao Pi won the widespread support of the clan, it also made Cao Cao more jealous of the clan, as a member of the Sima clan in Hanoi, how could he not resist this hatred?

It's just that, in order not to worry Cao Pi, these words can't be said.

Cao Pi asked Sima Yi, "What do you think?" ”

Sima Yi said slowly, "On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the minister is an official of the Great Wei, and the minister is loyal to his duties whatever position the Duke of Wei gives the minister." ”

Cao Pi was worried and said helplessly: "If you don't want to go, I will find a way to fight with my father." ”

"Don't!" Sima Yi hurriedly shook his hand, "General Zhonglang, now you are taking the place of the family to confront the clan, and play games with the prime minister, such a trivial matter will not cause waves, as for the front-line affairs, the minister can adapt to the situation..."

Cao Pi stared at Sima Yi for a moment, then turned around and took his sword from the wall, handed it to Sima Yi, and held his hand hard.

"Come back alive—"

Sima Yi bowed respectfully to Cao Pi, "When the minister is not there, Zhonglang will need to listen to Mr. Li's words more, a letter of "Nine Grades of Officials Law", let the minister see his foresight... To build Luoyang City, I also asked him a lot..."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi's voice was a little more serious and meticulous, but his tone was even lower.

- "He understands the situation better than I do!" Understand this trend! ”

The so-called general trend is the power of the clan, which is a force that cannot be replaced in the historical process!

Cao Pi nodded heavily.

- "I believe in Mr. Li, just like I believe in Zhongda!" ”

After a short time, Sima Yi and the others retreated, and they were about to rush to the Shouchun battlefield.

Cao Pi was going to Luoyang, a ruined place.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall into a deep obsession, and the "struggle" in his bones intensified, and at some point, his concubine Guo Zhaoguo appeared in the house and looked at Cao Pi silently.

Cao Pi was slightly angry, "Didn't you see the discussion?" What are you doing here? ”

Guo Zhao lowered one hand from behind his back, holding a snow-white fox holster that warmed his hands, and said softly: "I heard that you are going to Luoyang to build a city, I asked, there is no way to follow the past, you try this, I beat the fox myself, I made my own holster, Luoyang is barren, presumably it is extremely cold in winter, use this to warm your hands." ”

"I'm not cold!"

"Isn't it just that you can't go on the expedition? Why lie to me? Guo Zhao suddenly puffed out his mouth.

Cao Pi smiled, "There is a lie that I want to leave a bit of dignity for myself!" ”

Guo Zhao looked at him stupidly, Cao Pi took the holster, looked up at the sky, the dark blue sky was as clean as seawater.

He finally murmured in a very soft voice, "It's warm to see you—"

At this moment, a woman with a maid was hiding behind the bushes, she saw Cao Pi holding Guo Zhao in her arms, holding the brand-new snow-white fox fur gloves in her hands, she turned to the maid and said.

"Let's go back!"

The maid was surprised, "Mrs. Zhen came from Xu Capital City hundreds of miles away, didn't she come to give clothes and gloves to her son?" ”

"No need to send it." The woman bit her lip slightly, "Someone has already delivered it for me, he must be very warm in his heart!" ”

…

…

In Fancheng, an ordinary wine shop.

In the room on the second floor, Cao Zhi was pouring bottles of wine into his mouth.

Speaking of which, Cao Zhi was supposed to go on the expedition with Cao Cao, but he was responsible for escorting the next batch of grain and grass, and the grain and grass would only arrive in Fancheng tomorrow, so he had to stay for one more day.

At this moment, when the armies from all walks of life went out of the city, the entire Fancheng became empty, and a pot of wine went down, Cao Zhi seemed to see someone who could only be seen in a drunken dream.

He tapped his chopsticks while looking at the imaginary person... While composing a song: "The brilliance of the cloth, the brilliance of the Yaobi." The fragrance of the faint orchid is hesitant in the corner of the mountain... Soaring like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon. Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Hua Mao Chun Song——"

This was originally a song praising beauty, but at this time, for some reason, it showed Cao Zijian's unique sadness and sadness.

"Good poetry, good poetry..."

At this moment, Li Li stepped into the room.

Seeing Li Cong, Cao Zhi was stunned, the wine woke up all of a sudden, and the beauty in his heart also disappeared without a trace.

He hurriedly looked left and right to make sure that no one was following behind Li Cong, before closing all the doors and windows, and opened his mouth to say, "Why did Mr. Li come to see me at this time?" ”

"Zijian Gongzi rest assured, the five official generals have rushed to Luoyang, and now this Fancheng has no eyes..."

This...

Cao Zhi bit his lip slightly, "Everything needs to be careful, you can't let Dezu be imprisoned in vain." ”

Li despised his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure I don't have eyes..."

Speaking of this, Li Yan accentuated his tone, "It's just Fang Cai, in the mansion of General Lang in the facial features, when I said goodbye to him, I saw a person..."

"Alone?"

"It's a woman!"

Li Zhi's words made Cao Zhi's heart "poof"...

"Yes..."

"It's Zihuan's wife, Zhen Ji." Li said with a smile.

And with the appearance of the name "Zhen Ji", Cao Zhi's heart suddenly "clicked", and he subconsciously opened his mouth, "She... Here she comes? ”

"Just now I saw her crying out of Zihuan's mansion and hiding in the carriage, I was a little curious, so I approached the carriage, I didn't want to... I saw that Zihuan got into the carriage with another woman in his arms and went to Luoyang, talking and laughing, Zihuan called her Zhao'er? ”

"It's the second brother's concubine, the daughter of Guo Yong, a native of Guangzong in Julu County, a famous photo, and the queen of words!" Cao Zhi is like a treasure.

Because I care about whether Zhen Mi is doing well...

Therefore, he found out everything about his second brother's family.

"Oh...," Li Yan paused, "It turned out to be Zihuan's concubine, but after he left, Mrs. Zhen in the carriage seemed to sigh slightly... chanted some poems, as if he was pouring out his love, but it didn't seem to be like a pair of words. ”

"What?"

Li Cong's words suddenly made Cao Zhi wake up, "She... What did she groan? ”

"Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums—" Li Mian chanted first.

Of course, Zhen Mi didn't sing like this, it was Li Cong who deliberately said so.

And with this sentence, Cao Zhi's complexion changed completely, and his eyes widened.

Li Li's voice continued, "She also chanted that the person she was looking for was the one who resonated with her heart, the one who had no colorful phoenix wings, and the one who had a good heart..."

"It's... This person is by no means the second brother, she... She's calling... Call (me)? ”

Cao Zhi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore.

The last restraint made him swallow the word "I" deep into his stomach.

She also said that she hopes that she can be as ordinary as 'adding food to the top words, and remembering the next words'! And also... The love is like 'the world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to the truth'..."Li Mian lightly chanted this line of poetry.

And these made Cao Zhi feel uncomfortable.

"She... She's a talented woman, these poems, she... She will be able to do it. ”

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault... She's not having a good time... She's not having a good time! ”

was so provoked by Li Cong.

Suddenly, the memories of Zhen Ji came to me one by one.

It was still eleven years ago, in February of the ninth year of Jian'an, and Cao Zhi will never forget that warm spring afternoon, the Yecheng government office where he and his second brother led troops to break in.

Then... The door opened.

In the courtyard, several richly dressed women were scattering and fleeing, and the soldiers were arresting people everywhere, and a woman with long hair suddenly rushed to the well.

The woman bumped into Cao Zhi's body, almost fainting, Cao Zhi hugged her, and the woman's long hair slipped from her face, revealing a beautiful face that captivated the country and the city.

At that time, Cao Zhi was stunned.

Not long after, an old woman was escorted over by the soldiers, she saw Cao Zhi holding the woman, she hurriedly knelt down to Cao Pi, "The concubine is Yuan Shao's wife, and the woman is Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law's surname Zhen Mingmi, the concubine is willing to sacrifice this woman to the general, and ask the general to save our lives!" ”

Cao Zhi will never forget Zhen Mi's sneer at that time, "You should dedicate yourself!" ”

Next, Zhen Mi pulled out Cao Zhi's sword and was about to wipe it on her neck, but she was rescued by Cao Pi and firmly held her wrist.

Cao Zhi subconsciously begged Cao Pi, "Second brother, don't hurt her!" ”

Cao Pi slowly put down Zhen Mi at that time and persuaded: "That man has already left you and run away, are you willing to die such a husband and such a gentleman?" ”

After that, Cao Pi left him and continued to search the Yuan family's mansion.

Only Cao Zhi, he was standing in front of Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi's paralyzed appearance made him feel infinite pity, and his pale face was like a pear blossom floating in the night...

The weeping appearance made Cao Zhi unbearable to look at him.

Cao Zhi wanted to help her up, but Zhen Mi threw off her sleeves in disgust and turned her face away!

It's the first time they've seen it...

It was also the beginning of Cao Zhi's deep sinking.

Finally, after hearing Li Mi's poems and recalling the past president, Cao Zhi could no longer contain his mood, and while crying, he told the story about Zhen Mi to Li Cong.

"You say... You say..."Cao Zhi said while drinking, "where do you say that there is a woman so interesting, she is a prisoner, and when she saw my father, she dared to put forward three conditions, otherwise she would die!" ”

"The first is not to hurt the people... At that time, I also said that my father was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and he would naturally comfort the people by hoeing the strong and helping the weak... But she said, 'The second thing is that since he is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the women and children of the Yuan Mansion are innocent, I implore Sikong Yiyi's benevolence to be preserved', and I replied at that time that my father didn't even kill Chen Lin, who insulted his ancestors, how could he kill women and children? Whereas... Examine... Sister Zhen's third one turned out to be... It is a plea for the whole corpse to remain in the homeland..."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhi poured another bottle of wine, "Mr. Li, tell me... Tell me, how can there be such a woman in this world? So untimely, so gentle, so chaste... Mr. Li, tell me, how can such a woman not be fascinated! ”

Finally...

With Cao Zhi's mantra after drinking, Li Liang finally realized.

Why... Guan Lin has mentioned it several times.

- Zhen Ji is the most critical point in the battle between "Cao Pi" and "Cao Zhi".

It is also the key to making Cao Zhi ruthless and spicy!

Li Lianyou remembered that to gain Cao Pi's trust, he only needed to gain the trust of "Sima Yi" and "Chen Qun".

In other words, it is to let those wealthy clans regard you as one and the same kind, so that Cao Pi must be reassured.

can get Cao Zhi's most heartfelt trust, there is only one way, to be precise, that one woman - Zhen Mi!

Cao Zhi must be made ruthless and spicy because of Zhen Mi... Become daring to stir up Cao Wei's storm!

So...

Only then will there be a chance to completely muddy Cao Wei's water!

Time... Guan Lin's sentence jumped into his mind.

Li couldn't help but let out a long exhale.

- "This kind of brother fighting for a daughter, Yunqi Gongzi actually knows it, and he can use it, it's really powerful!"

With this in mind...

Li Cong suddenly got up and raised his chest: "Exquisite dice An red bean, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bones!" Since Zijian Gongzi loves Zhen Ji deeply, this Zhen Ji is not doing well, so he just grabbed it? Snatch her with a knife! ”

"When love is at the end, it turns ruthless, and ruthlessness is more tiring than passionate! Manly husband, what does crying look like? Zijian Gongzi, wake up, if you compete for the position of the son of the world, if you inherit this great Cao Wei, then all the women in the world are yours, not to mention a Zhen Ji? ”

These words fell.

Drunk, Cao Zhi said the most heartfelt words, "I... I don't want women all over the world, I just want Sister Zhen! ”

"Wake up, wake up, this battle Shouchun, you have to play your style, wait for you to compete for the position of the son of the last world, wait for you to inherit the unification, if there is a day, don't say that Zijian Gongzi and Zhen Ji are married, that is, you let her be the queen, why not? I, Li Cong, will definitely cheer for you in the first row! ”

With Li Cong's words...

Cao Zhi raised his head, he looked at Li Zhi stupidly, "Fighting for the second brother, really... Can you really get Sister Zhen out of the sea of suffering? ”

"Yes, yes, but..."Li Li's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, he came to find Cao Zhi for another matter, something that Guan Lin repeatedly emphasized and should put in the first place.

That's getting rid of a person!

Thinking of this, Li Yan said solemnly: "This trip to Shouchun, Sima Yi is also in the team, he is Zihuan's henchman, and he has the talent of the world, if Zijian wants to fight for the world, if he wants to fight for Zhen Ji, then Zijian... You need to keep it in mind at all times, but if you have the chance, you have to find a way to get rid of this Sima Zhongda—"

That's right...

One thing that Guan Lin has repeatedly emphasized and wants Li to put in the first place is:

- Except Sima!

Sima Yi, this guy who can be better than a dog, if he doesn't get rid of it, there will always be great variables and dangers in this chess game!

"Remember..."Li Yan solemnly reminded, "Zijian, Luoyang is here for me, Shouchun is there, you have to find a way to get rid of that Sima Zhongda!" ”

"As long as he dies, the son is yours, and Zhen Ji is also yours—"

Shizi... has never been the most important thing for Cao Zhi, what he longs for has always been Sister Zhen.

With this in mind, he muttered in his mouth.

- "The world is safe and secure, and it lives up to its promise..."
