Yongzhou, Chang'an.

Inside the General's Palace.

The famous general Guo Huai lay on the bed for nearly half a year, and finally failed to resist the passage of time and died of illness in Chang'an.

And his death was a fatal blow to the entire Yongliang Army.

At this moment, the two of them knelt in front of the spiritual seat, looking at the motionless general of the chariot above, their eyes were full of sadness.

Even if he is a strong man like Guo Huai, under the torture of illness, he is also in pain, and he has repeatedly ordered the people around him, asking them not to let the imperial doctor order close to him, and he has resisted treatment many times.

The brave and fierce general, in the end, was also like Sima Shi, skinny, lying on the bed for half a year, and finally closed his eyes.

And this incident was a bolt from the blue for everyone under his command.

Yongzhou Thorn Shi Chen Tai's face was pale, and his eyes were full of uneasiness.

Chen Tai is the son of Chen Qun.

Born in a big family, when Gao Pingling changed, he went to persuade Cao Shuang to surrender, so he won the trust of the Sima family.

However, Cao Shuang was punished, which caused Chen Tai's reputation to collapse directly.

Although he didn't do what he said, after all, he promised Cao Shuang that he would get rich and noble after surrendering.

I don't know if I'm rich or not, but I really kneel anyway.

Sima Yi's behavior made Chen Tai stunned, but he didn't dare to pursue it further, nor did he dare to ask more, let alone continue to follow Sima Yi, so he hurriedly played, asked for an external transfer, and came to this cool place.

Chen Tai has fought a lot of battles, and he is not a person who loves to kill, he once served as the assassin of the state, the general of the Huns, in the face of the Hu people in the territory, he adopted a soft policy, won the hearts of the people, and had a high prestige among the Hu people.

After Guo Huai became seriously ill, Chen Tai struggled to resist the invasion from Shu.

Although his military talent is far inferior to Guo Huai, he can be regarded as conscientious in his duties, much better than those parasites in the temple.

It is worth mentioning that this person grew up with Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and others and has been a playmate for many years.

And the person next to him is Sima Wang.

At this moment, the two knelt in front of Guo Huai's spiritual seat, both uneasy.

They had just learned the news of the general's death, and they hadn't recovered yet, and they had learned the news of rebellions in various places, and they were worried that Guo Huai was gone.

Chen Tai never imagined that these things would happen at the same time.

The death of the general is already a big blow to morale, and the local rebellion will affect the transportation of materials, and now Guo Huai, the pillar of the army, is gone, if Jiang Wei comes to attack, with such morale, how to stop it?

Chen Tai looked at Sima Wang on the side.

This person who was sent by the general did not look so reassuring.

His identity made many generals distrust him, thinking that he was here to mix military achievements.

And he himself has no experience in leading troops to fight, so he is not as good as Chen Tai!

Sima Wang noticed Chen Tai's eyes looking at him, and he said seriously: "Jiang Wei is coming, we have to make arrangements and wait for the temple to come to support." ”

Chen Tai asked, "Where do you think Jiang Wei will send troops?" ”

Sima Wang hurriedly replied: "Or go out of Di Dao and take Taoxi"

Chen Tai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sima Wang in front of him again, it seemed that he was not completely here to mix military merits.

At present, many generals believe that Jiang Weihui's army will attack Qishan, Shiying, and Jincheng in three ways, and hope that Chen Tai can divide his troops earlier.

However, according to his understanding of Jiang Wei, Chen Tai believed that Jiang Wei would definitely not divide his troops, and would be pressed by a large army and march into Didao, and heavy troops should be deployed to block it.

Sima Wang's current opinion is actually the same as Chen Tai's.

Chen Tai opened his mouth and said: "Jiang Wei came this time, he must be a heavy soldier, we had better stick to it, frustrate his spirit, as long as he can't win in the short term, he will definitely retreat." ”

Sima Wang said seriously: "I obey your orders!" ”

Chen Tai breathed a sigh of relief, if this is the case, the battle can barely be fought.

"Then defend on all fronts, only defend it, and wait for the order of the temple."

"Yui!!"

The two then fell silent again, between Chen Tai and Sima Wang, there was really nothing to say, and the two did not have much contact these days.

It's the kind of friendship that nods when you meet.

Compared to what Sima Wang was worried about, Chen Tai obviously had more things to worry about.

Sima Yi's last behavior made Chen Tai very miserable, and he almost lost his qualification to be a celebrity, if the Sima family has always been very strong, and even got the world, then probably no one will mention this matter again, but now this situation.

As soon as possible, Chen Tai had not returned to Luoyang, but he could already feel the crisis of the matter.

This can be seen from the fact that after the death of the general, Sima Zhao only served as the general of Wei, why did he not inherit the general?

If the Sima family really fell, would what he did to Cao Shuang become evidence of his political enemies attacking him?

Will he fall with the Sima family?

If the Sima family comes to a more drastic operation now, will he be more implicated in the Sima family's chariot? ?

According to historical records, Chen Tai was shocked when he learned that Sima Zhao had killed the king, and asked Sima Zhao to punish Jia Chong's entire clan, but Sima Zhao did not allow it, and Chen Tai died of grief and anger.

He is not a completely shameless person, and he is also afraid that the Sima family's riotous operation will make him stink for 10,000 years.

Compared with Jiang Wei, Chen Tai was also worried about the situation in the temple at the moment.

He asked tentatively: "Sima Jun, I heard that after the death of the general, there is a discord between Taifu Gong and General Wei, if General Wei temporarily recalls you, what can I do here?" ”

He used this topic to ask Sima Wang's personal thoughts.

Sima Wang said solemnly: "If the temple really wants to call me back, then I can only go back, but please don't worry, if I go back, I will definitely inform them of the urgency of the matter, and let them send people to reinforce me, and I will definitely not let you bear it alone." ”

Sima Wang's words were the same as if he didn't say this, Chen Tai had no choice but to say again: "I'm afraid that this temple will be discordant and cause chaos in the border army." ”

"Don't worry about the assassin history, my father is a person who knows right from wrong, and now that the enemy is present, absolutely no one dares to find the border army, we can just face the enemy with peace of mind."

Chen Tai sighed again.

There is a way to repel this external enemy, but what should this internal enemy do?

Tai Chi Hall, East Hall.

There weren't as many celebrities as before.

Even the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest failed to arrive.

Wang Rong and Shan Tao did not come.

And less than half of those celebrities in Luoyang came.

The East Hall Banquet suddenly lost its former liveliness.

But Cao Chao didn't care about this, Sima Yan sat proudly beside Cao Chao, looking at the many celebrities who came, and his eyes were very proud.

Unknowingly, Sima Yan also became a celebrity in Luoyang.

For Sima Yan, it is not necessarily a bad thing that fewer people come, once there are more people, they will start to debate those classics, and Sima Yan will listen to it very hard.

Cao Chao looked at the many celebrities around him and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few days, I have heard that some students are abusing the government outside, and I am extremely happy to learn about this!" ”

Hearing this, the celebrities were very quiet and did not dare to make a stubble.

Cao Chao continued: "It's not because they speak for me, it's because they dare to abuse!" ”

"In the time of the first Han Dynasty, there was a law, and you cannot be condemned by words!"

"But when it comes to my Dawei, there are fewer and fewer virtuous people who dare to tell the truth and dare to scold."

"How can this be done?"

"I heard that when King Qi Wei was governing the Qi Kingdom, he ordered: The ministers and the people, those who can stab the widow in the face, will be rewarded!"

"It is because of his admonition that the people speak freely, and finally make the country of Qi rule."

"Therefore, when I heard about the actions of the students, I was extremely excited."

"I have the heart to emulate King Qi Wei, now I am still young, there are many unknowns, since I ascended the throne, there may be something inappropriate, I want to issue an edict, so that all the ministers and officials in the world, stab my mistakes in the face, if I can do it, I will reward him with ten gold!!"

"At the beginning, the general was gullible in the demagogy of thieves and used cruel criminal laws to treat virtuous people, and I would not do this."

"I want to give an order to the court captain, and I can't be convicted of it!"

"From today on, the Great Wei can speak freely, don't be afraid, if there is any dissatisfaction with me, even if you say anything, I will forgive!!"

Cao Chao said loudly.

The celebrities were shocked, and at this moment, the lame praising Sima Yan asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, you are saying so now, but if you really say it is insufficient, what should you do if you want to ask for sin?" ”

"How could I lose my words?"

Sima Yan hesitated to get up, bowed to Cao Chao, and then said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, it has often been said that you will succeed the heir of Emperor Liezu, but until now, you have never worshiped Emperor Liezu, let alone held a ceremony for succession. Your Majesty's move is really inappropriate!! ”

Cao Chao laughed and nodded, "Okay, what Sima Sanqi said is reasonable!" Come on, 10 gold rewards! ”

Immediately, a eunuch took the money and sent it to Sima Yan.

Sima Yan was very moved and hurriedly thanked him.

The faces of the celebrities and gentlemen are very complicated, His Majesty's acting skills are not said, but this Sima Sanqi is really embarrassed, the words, the actions, people can't look at it directly.

However, as the basic literacy of Baume & Mercier, they can't do the act of exposing others, after all, Baume & Mercier is performing for each other, even if the performance is bad, you can't tear down the stage, otherwise you will perform in the future, and the audience will not cooperate with you.

Celebrities began to follow suit, and more or less put forward some advice, and Cao Chao also gave them a reward.

The celebrities gained fame, and the emperor achieved his goal.

Both sides knew it, but they didn't make it clear.

Only Sima Yan, looking at the celebrities who were completely coaxed by himself, couldn't help but raise his head and smirk.

We are really too strong!!
