At the end of the banquet, Biqiudian, Wenyang and others left.

"Your Majesty"

In the East Hall, there were only two people left, Cao Chao and Liu Lu.

Liu Lu finally opened his mouth, his eyes a little moist.

"Your Majesty is a lot taller and fatter."

Cao Chao took his hand, and his heart was equally excited, and it was difficult to calm down.

"You've lost a lot of weight, and your skin has become so dark that you're suffering."

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is in the tiger's den, in front of Your Majesty, how dare you say bitter words?"

"It's all the incompetence of the ministers, which has caused His Majesty to suffer"

"If it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of Sima Shi at this moment."

Cao Chao took Liu Lu's hand, his eyes full of emotion.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all familiar with the scriptures, from famous families, and looked so elegant and respectable, and they were famous all over the world.

But looking at their actions, they are so despicable, they only have personal interests in their eyes, and there is no righteousness at all.

Liu Lu is a ranger from the bottom, but he has been doing his best for himself these days, from birth to death, and the contrast between this is really emotional.

Liu Lu talked seriously about his behavior in these days.

Cao Chao didn't interrupt, just listened calmly.

Liu Lu went to Luoyang by himself until he arrived in Huainan, Liu Lu has increased a lot of knowledge in these days, and he is more mature than before.

After listening to his story, Cao Chao sighed again: "Even those famous heroes at the beginning are far inferior to you." ”

Liu Lu suddenly asked: "By the way, Your Majesty, why did Guo Jun go up the mountain to be king?" ”

"Isn't there such a thing as being for me? How could he come? ”

Cao Chao smiled bitterly, "I didn't let him go, he was coerced." ”

"Ah, I see, I'll just say, Guo Jun has gone up the mountain to be a thief, this world is true"

Liu Lu suddenly asked again: "Then now that Your Majesty is in charge, can you summon him back?" ”

Cao Chao shook his head, "Not yet." ”

"Why?"

"The temple is still unstable, and besides, he has a lot to do in the mountains."

Liu Lu frowned, "Can he still help His Majesty in the mountains?" ”

"Of course you can, there are many things that I can't handle, but bandits can do it wantonly."

"I wanted to send someone to contact them, but there was really no one around me who could complete this, and now that you are back, I will not worry."

Liu Lu nodded, "I see." ”

"Your Majesty, what about Yang Gong?"

Cao Chao paused, when he was in Yuancheng, he had three confidants by his side, and Yang Zong was later recruited by Sima Zhao and became Sima Zhao's subordinate officials.

Cao Chao later learned that Yang Zong, under Sima Zhao's command, drank alcohol all day long, did not do business, and has not made any contributions until now.

Cao Chao knew that in fact, when he was in Yuancheng, Yang Zong had wavered, and he thought about following him.

However, Cao Chao did not win him over, but used him as a way back, if he died, so that he could advise Sima Zhao and prevent some tragedies from happening.

can be said in the current situation, well, it seems that Yang Zong does not need to continue to serve as a backhand.

However, with the character of this old man, I am afraid that he will not easily change the door and come to himself again

Cao Chao pondered for a moment before he said, "Let's talk about his affairs later." ”

"Good! Your Majesty, then I will prepare today, and I will go to Guo Jun tomorrow! You'd better write your letter now."

Cao Chao grabbed him, "Don't worry, you came from afar, just rest in Luoyang." ”

"I will make you Huangmenlang, and stay by my side in the future and listen to my dispatch."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but"

"But what?"

"The minister wants to know, how much is this Huang Menlang's money?"

Cao Chao raised his head and laughed, "Don't worry, I won't be hungry for you!" ”

"Come on, get the wine!"

Yecheng.

Assassin's House.

"General."

Du Yu frowned and appeared in the inner room with a serious expression.

Sima Zhao was holding Hu Fen's hand at the moment, talking very happily, seeing the sudden appearance of Du Yu, Sima Zhao felt that something big had happened, and hurriedly said to Hu Fen: "You come from afar, and go to rest first, and discuss it tomorrow!" ”

Hu Fen thanked him, turned around and left here.

Hu Fen came to Hebei from Xuzhou and came to meet Sima Zhao.

This nature is the same as Biqiudian's visit to the temple to meet Cao Chao, which means that Sima Zhao subdued Hu Zun, the general of Zhengdong who was stationed in Xuzhou.

Hu Zun's father and son have both followed Sima Yi to fight, especially Hu Zun, who is extremely old and has great achievements, and was once Sima Yi's number one general, followed Sima Yi to fight the Huns, Zhuge Liang, and Gongsun Yuan.

In this "rebellion" caused by Sima Shi, Hu Zun gave a heavy hand, he didn't even hide it, and sent people to burn and loot in person.

His behavior immediately aroused the anger of many ministers.

But Hu Zun didn't care about this, he was born in the Biansai clan, and he was already despised by the Central Plains clan, not to mention, Hu Zun, who was killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, didn't take these rotten Confucians in his eyes at all.

Naigong is killed, what can you do?

Some of them come to me and shout to see if you dare.

At Du Pre's suggestion, Sima Zhao was the first to send someone to win over the general of Zhengdong.

Sima Zhao's way of winning over the other party was also simple and rude, and he told him directly and clearly, as long as you can stand on my side, your son will be the next general of Zhengdong, and your son will supervise Xuzhou.

So, it didn't take long for Hu Fen to appear in front of Sima Zhao.

Hu Fen is also a fierce general, and he also fought with Sima Yi at the beginning, although he is not as senior as his father, but he is also a rising star, and among many second generations, it is the top.

What is valuable is that this person has a very good relationship with Sima Zhao.

After Hu Fen left, Sima Zhao said: "That old general, he has a great appetite, I listen to them, they not only want to support me, but also want to reform the Zhongzheng system and want the second grade." ”

"I want everything, but I'm not afraid to kill myself."

Du Pre made a straight face and said very seriously: "General, don't pay attention to these things first, something big is happening in Luoyang!" ”

"Huh??"

Sima Zhao was shocked, "Gan sent a letter?" ”

"It's not."

"What's going on?"

"No one sent a letter."

Sima Zhao was a little suspicious, "What do you mean?" ”

Du Yu explained: "General, the situation in Luoyang is complicated, and it is because of this that I advised you to leave and not to go back in a hurry. ”

"The traitors are greedy and want to do wrong, when you were in Luoyang, they were not settled, and now that you have left Luoyang, will they calm down?"

"But these days, Luoyang has no more letters to come here to inform the ministers of the situation."

"This must be the action of the ministers, who have already subdued the generals and colonels of the Chinese army, they deliberately concealed the news, and waited for us to suddenly attack when we returned."

Sima Zhao was dumbfounded, "Wouldn't you be too arbitrary?" The six battalions of the Chinese army, the generals and colonels are all from my family, how can the ministers subdue them so quickly? Although my brother has no talent, he is also a cautious person, and he will not make too many mistakes."

"What's more, there are Zhong Yu and others in the temple, these people are all strategic people, how could they fail so easily?"

Du Yu said seriously: "Your departure from Luoyang is good news for the ministers, they will take the opportunity to do it, and at that time, they can counterattack the traitorous ministers, this is our original idea." ”

"But until now, there has been no news from Luoyang, which can only show that the ministers have succeeded."

"They won't delay for so long."

Sima Zhao was really panicked at the moment, his clansmen and his family were all in Luoyang!

The sons and heirs of foreign generals from all over the country, including the families of the soldiers under his command, are also in Luoyang, and if something happens to Luoyang.

Sima Zhao didn't have the heart to think about Hu Zun anymore, he paced back and forth.

"No, I'll lead the troops back to Luoyang now!"

"No."

"General, we only have four battalions under our command."

"Then call He Zeng and Chen Ben's army!"

Du predetermined to speak and stopped.

Sima Zhao exhaled a breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and his thoughts became clear.

He Zeng and Chen Ben were very obedient at the moment, but once they arrived in Luoyang and found that the ministers occupied Luoyang, the situation was different, and the reinforcements would become enemy troops.

Thinking of this, Sima Zhao felt even more unbearable.

Sima Zhao looked at Du Yu again, holding back all his uneasiness, "Yuan Kai, what should I do next?" ”

"The general can't fight a civil war at the moment, Jiang Wei is coming to attack, and there are Wu thieves in the south, and Great Wei can't withstand the civil war."

"Then I can't do it?!"

Du Yu shook his head, "That's not what the minister meant, the general can send someone to contact Biqiu Jian, if the ministers make a move, Your Majesty will definitely be imprisoned by them, and Biqiu Jian will definitely stand on Your Majesty's side." ”

"General, this matter of contacting foreign generals will be handed over to you first."

"The minister is willing to go to Luoyang, persuade the three princes of the dynasty, and try to force them to stop"

Sima Zhao frowned, "Yuan Kai, let's send someone else, if you leave, what can I do here?" ”

Du Yu said helplessly: "General, please don't worry, the ministers don't want to see the destruction of Great Wei, they don't dare to provoke the generals, I think our family members are just imprisoned, I will persuade the ministers, let them think about the current situation, then Wang Xiang and the others are not stupid people, he will understand the crisis at this moment." ”

"The general should contact his cronies more at this moment, ask them to reorganize the army, and put pressure on his ministers."

Sima Zhao is very reluctant, he trusts Du Zhen very much, and he always asks for his advice first, but now if Du Zhen leaves, he has no one to ask about doing things.

Seeing Sima Zhao's worried appearance, Du Yu said: "Yang Gong, who joined the military, is a scheming person, he is happy to be disobedient, just because he is unwilling to make a move on His Majesty, now that the ministers are making a move on His Majesty, he will not have any scruples, after I leave, you can ask him more about his thoughts." ”
