Xuchang.

Liu Mang had already learned the news of the fall of Yecheng through Feiyu.

Even as an enemy, Liu Mang felt sorry for what happened to Cao Zhi.

If the world is peaceful, Cao Zhi should be a great poet, and his literary attainments may not stop there.

It's a pity that political struggle, not romantic poetry, will only be ruthless.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Cao Wei court has now been divided into two factions."

"The clan headed by the Empress Dowager Guo, and the scholar clan headed by Emperor Cao Ei."

"Sometimes, Yun also wonders why there are so many factions when they both work for the imperial court."

Zhao Yun was puzzled, but Liu Mang understood it.

If there is no strong monarch in charge, the people below will still form gangs.

That is for their own political interests, and it is also a manifestation of the strong and weak lords.

"If Adou succeeds to the throne, our Han only has one state, Yizhou, and we can divide six factions!"

Liu Mang secretly said in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Fourth Uncle Zhao, in fact, the clan is a kind of protection for Cao Rong."

"If a dynasty wants to function normally, the power of the clan cannot be too weak."

"Otherwise, it will give the traitorous ministers an opportunity to take advantage of."

Thinking of Cao Wei in the future, it is because the clan headed by Cao Shuang was all wiped out by Sima Yi, so that there is no longer the power to defend the imperial power.

"Cao Rong is young now, and he still doesn't understand his stakes with the clan."

"If I were Cao Rong, I would only reuse the clan to appease people's hearts and make them better for me."

"A one-handed clan is used to check and balance the nobles; First-hand scholars, let them inspire the clan. ”

"It's a pity that this kid Cao Yi is still too young, with Sima Yi's virtue, it will be impossible for Cao Zhi to return to Luoyang alive!"

Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this, he understood that with the Luoyang Cao Wei clan as the mainstay, he would definitely intercede for Cao Zhi.

Cao Yi didn't want to see such a thing happen, so a person like Sima Yi who could figure out the king's heart would definitely do it directly.

"Your Highness, now in the land of Youzhou, Cao Wei has not yet recovered, and Cao Zhang may be difficult to resist."

"It's okay, I've already repaired a book, let Lu Boyan go to Youzhou, and I want to recruit Cao Zhang!"

Recruit Cao Zhang?

Zhao Yun didn't expect that His Royal Highness would be so whimsical.

Cao Zhang, that is Cao Cao's son, is a famous fierce general on the border.

"Cao Zhang, will you really surrender to my big man?"

"Fourth Uncle Zhao, this time and that time!"

Liu Mang said with a smile: "Today's Cao Zhang can be described as the end of the road. I believe that this person doesn't want to die, not to mention that his wife and children are already in Xuchang now! ”

Cao Zhang's survival, for Shu Han, is beneficial and harmless.

He can even tolerate Cao Cao's son, let alone other Cao Wei ministers.

What's more, although Cao Zhang can't be compared with the Five Tiger Generals, or Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others, he is a good hand at garrisoning the frontier and fighting Hu people!

Wouldn't it be a great waste for such a talent to be killed by Sima Yi?

Cao Zhang fought bravely, and now there is only one military advisor missing!

Lu Xun can make up for Cao Zhang's shortcomings, if everything goes well, Dahan can even take over Youzhou, why not.

"Your Highness is really like a god!"

"Then when will our army go to war with the Wei thieves again?"

Zhao Yun was already gearing up and ready to fight at any time.

"Fourth Uncle Zhao, rest assured, the Cao Wei Rebellion has just begun!"

"The more we take the initiative to attack, the more they will be monolithic!"

"When their internal friction is almost complete, it's time for us to make a move."

Liu Mang sighed and said, "It's a pity that Cao Zhi is a poet!" ”

……

Yecheng.

The former prosperity has been burned, and the karmic fire burned for three days and three nights, burning the dormitory built during the Cao Cao period.

"Sima Yi! You dare to wantonly kill the Great Wei Clan! ”

"He is the son of Emperor Wu, and he is the uncle of His Majesty today!"

"How the dare you touch him!"

Li Dian was indignant, and when he wanted to stop it, it was completely too late.

The last glass of wine brought Cao Zhi to an end to his tragic and romantic life.

Li Dian didn't even see Cao Zhi for the last time.

"Li Mancheng, are you really stupid or fake stupid?"

"If this person is allowed to return to Luoyang, those Great Wei clans will definitely intercede for him."

"A rebellious man, Your Majesty will let him live?"

Sima Yi sneered: "Don't tell me, you Li Mancheng don't even have the heart to figure it out." ”

Li Dian understood that what Sima Yi said made sense, but he couldn't accept that the other party was so arbitrary.

"Mancheng!"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said in a low voice: "He is the main general, if you directly contradict him, I am afraid that he will be dealt with by military law!" ”

Li Dian is still afraid of military law at this time?

He was about to speak, but Zhang Liao tightly held his wrist.

"Wen Qian has already left before you and me, I don't want to see Pao Ze killed again......"

"Le Wenqian died on the battlefield, that is the wish of the military general's life!"

Li Dian sneered: "You and I may not be as lucky as him!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Dian left directly, he was too lazy to work with Sima Yi again.

The people of Yecheng cried and cried, even if they survived, their homes had been looted.

Relying on plundering his own people, Sima Yi's army continued to move north, with the goal of recovering Youzhou!

When I went to Youzhou this time, I didn't bring Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao, because I was worried that the two of them would have an old relationship with Cao Zhang.

When Sima Yi set out on the expedition, he had already calculated a last resort.

"Cao Zhi has given the head, and the next one is the yellow-haired lion."

"Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu, how embarrassed did you force me back then?"

"Have you ever thought that your two beloved sons would die at my hands?"

Sima Yi secretly said in his heart, but unfortunately Cao Cao has passed away and can't give him any answer.

100,000 Cao Jun Hao Hao Tang Tang, all the way north, straight to the hinterland of Youzhou.

……

Youzhou.

At this time, Cao Zhang can be said to be at the end of his rope, and the only thing he can use is the defenders guarding the border pass.

But once used, the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei and other nomadic peoples will take the opportunity to go south.

In the end, it will only be the people of Youzhou who will suffer.

"His Royal Highness the King of Rencheng, use the border army brothers! They have received the great grace of His Highness, and they are definitely willing to die for His Highness! ”

The house slave Cao Wu was loyal and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, he was worried that Cao Zhang had lost his fighting spirit.

After experiencing the defeat of the white horse, only more than 3,000 riders fled back to Youzhou.

"I left my father and went to Youzhou to protect the people of the Central Plains, and I will no longer be harmed by the Huns."

"If I let the border army leave, wouldn't it be a loss of trust to my former self?"

"This kind of thing, I, Cao Zhang, will never be able to do it!"

Cao Zhang said it categorically, but Cao Wu sighed again and again.

Just as the master and servant were speechless, they saw the herald enter the barracks.

"Report! Outside the barracks, there was a scribe who called himself Wang Fu and asked to see the king of Rencheng! ”

Wang Fu?

That's not Liu Mang's person?

Cao Chang was curious, and finally planned to meet this person.

"Let him in!"
