Yanling City.

In the palace of the Marquis of Yanling.

Cao Zhang was wearing a strong suit, and he had just finished practicing martial arts in the school field, and he was sweating all over at the moment, but his face was flushed, and his mood was very high.

The grinning smile is the people in the house, and they all know that their master is in a good mood.

Mrs. Sun stepped forward with a wet towel in her hand and personally wiped the fine sweat on Cao Zhang's forehead, but she had a worried look on her beautiful eyes.

"Husband, I see that there are so many friends in the house, many of them are very noble, even first-class rangers, and the husband has also summoned a little, we are sealed in Yanling, such a high-profile act, if the king knows, then."

Mrs. Sun's heart is like a mirror, and the abnormal behavior of the Hou Mansion these days has made her know that her husband is faintly doing something big.

And this kind of big event gives her a very bad feeling.

As if a catastrophe was coming, the right eyelid has not stopped beating for the past few days.

"What do you know, a woman?"

Cao Chang snatched the wet wipes from Mrs. Sun's hand a little impatiently, and snorted coldly: "The king, is he the king of Wei?" ”

When my big event is done, in a few days, I will also be the king of Wei!

Wiped the sweat droplets off his face indiscriminately, and Cao Zhang said angrily: "You just take care of the house, don't think too much." ”

At this moment, a guard stepped forward and said to Cao Zhang: "Prince, Dongligon has come to pay a visit." ”

The voice of the attendant guard was very small, and Mrs. Sun did not hear the words of the guard.

But the joy on Cao Zhang's face was directly revealed on his face.

"Take it to the guest hall, and I'll go later."

Putting the sweat-wiping wipes on the copper basin in the maid's hand, Cao Zhang smiled and said, "Madam, this Yanling City is still too small, in a few days, I will take you out to see the scenery." ”

The scenery of Luoyang is much better than this small Yanling City.

Instead of being imprisoned in a city, it is better to fight, and in the future, it will not be possible to do Wei Qinghuo to get sick.

No!

I even want to be a character like the overlord of Xichu!

"Husband~"

When Mrs. Sun saw this, she was even more worried about Cao Zhang.

She understands that her husband has begun to walk down a dangerous path.

The road is full of thorns and it is difficult to succeed.

And failed.

The whole family is afraid that there is no one alive.

In the past few days, although she was in the square inch of Yanling City, Mrs. Sun felt that this period of time was her most lively.

It's just that

A man's heart is too big, and the man's thoughts are different from that of a woman.

Alas~

Mrs. Sun looked at Cao Zhang's back and sighed softly.

Marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, how can she, a woman, help her own man?

Yanling Marquis Mansion Guest Hall.

Dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a hat, and dressed as a traveling merchant, Dongligon was always sitting in the guest hall at this moment, drinking the tea handed by the maid of the Hou Mansion.

The tea is crisp, but it tastes good.

This is cloud tea.

Yunwu tea is named because it is produced in the clouds and mist of the high mountains of Nanyue.

Its shape is tight and thin, curly and beautiful, and after boiling water, it is famous for its green and fragrant color, mellow taste and beautiful shape.

Naturally, it is also a specialty sold by the Shangmeng from Jingzhou, and it is quite loved by the nobles of the Wei State.

has been regarded as the best in hospitality by these Wei nobles.

Many people are proud to own Jing tea.

"Hahaha~"

At this moment, Cao Zhang's hearty laughter was already coming from outside the guest hall, unlike the first slightly false smile, this time his laughter must have come from the bottom of his heart.

"There are friends from afar, don't you say it!"

Cao Zhang had already changed into a casual robe at this time, and the whole person seemed to be in a lot of energy.

Cao Zhang slowly sat on the main seat, his horse face looked at Dongligon, and asked, "This time the merchant alliance caravan, but it will be increased to twenty?" ”

In the past month, Cao Zhang has already learned the meaning of the phrase that money can make ghosts grind.

Money, at some point, is indeed everything.

Using the goods of the merchant alliance, I don't know how many people will come to visit him.

It is Xu Du, it is Luoyang, the relationship that he couldn't get through in his whole life can be opened in the shortest possible time.

Now he is relying more and more on the business alliance.

"There are no twenty caravans, only fifteen." Dongligon said softly.

Hearing this, the smile on Cao Zhang's face gradually converged.

He frowned and said, "There were fifteen caravans before, could it be that the Jingzhou merchants didn't sell well this time?" As far as I know, the amount of money you earn is not a small amount. ”

Dongligon smiled and said: "A little yellow and white things, in my Jingzhou is not beneficial, said good grain and grass, only pulled a hundred carts, the prince behaved like this, this time can come fifteen caravans, it is already my lord's past blame, if I have not sent my Jingzhou needed things, perhaps, this agent of Wei State, can only replace others." ”

Dongligon glanced at Cao Zhang deeply, and said very playfully: "The huge profits of the Shang Alliance are moving, and in this Wei State, there are not one or two people who want to take the position of the prince. ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhang's face changed drastically, he snorted coldly and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Cao Zhang's eyes were full of murderous aura, and the killing aura of years of fighting on the battlefield unceremoniously attacked Dongligon.

However, the expression on the latter's face didn't even change much.

"If the prince has such an attitude, then I don't have to come today."

Seeing that it was useless to be tough, Cao Zhang's attitude had to soften a little, and said: "There is a shortage of food ahead, and there is not much food in Yingchuan." ”

Fighting a war is a matter that affects the whole body.

The entire Wei state was mobilized, and the closer it was to the battlefield, the less grain and grass were left.

Yingshui went all the way south, including countless boats, and also sent a steady stream of grain and grass from Yingchuan to the front line.

"There is not much grain in Yingchuan, so there is no way to send grain and grass? Your Excellency has not yet won the throne, so it is measured for the Wei State? Beware that you haven't eaten this meal yet, but you have lost it, and your family is ruined. ”

Yingchuan is indeed short of grain.

But with Cao Zhang's ability, especially with the blessing of the huge profits of the Shang Alliance, he has the ability to get grain and grass, or military supplies.

If you don't send it over, it's just a plan in your heart.

If he becomes the king of Wei and now sends grain to Jingzhou, isn't this an enemy?

"If the five hundred carts of grain and grass are not sent to Jingzhou, today, it may be the last time I come to see the prince."

After saying that, Dongligon patted his ass and was about to get up and leave.

"Do you think you can get out of the Hou Mansion?"

Dongligon stared at Cao Zhang with straight eyes, and said, "Is the prince threatening me?" ”

Hehe.

Dongligon sneered, and there was no fear in his heart.

"If I die, the matter of your treason, Cao Pi, the king of Wei, will know in an instant, and my Royal Highness has occupied Pingyu and blocked the way for the King of Wei to return to Luoyang, if Your Excellency does not cooperate, it will be a big deal for our Han army to abandon Pingyu, and the dream of the prince of Wei should also wake up."

Dongligon's words made Cao Zhang's fists clench, and at the same time, he didn't know how many times he scolded Dongligon's ancestors for the eighteenth generation.

Call~

He let out a heavy breath of air, trying to calm the expression on his face.

"Five hundred carts of grain and grass will be sent to Nanyang within ten days,"

Now, he can't afford to lose the cash cow of the business alliance.

As for the adversary

This Dongligon is right, you have to wait for the throne of King Wei to sit firmly, and then you will think about the enemy.

"In this way, then I will congratulate the prince and marquis in advance on his invasion of Luoyang, and at that time, the business of this merchant alliance will bloom everywhere in the territory of Wei!"

Everywhere?

If I become the king of Wei, I will be the first to ban this merchant alliance, and at the same time form an organization similar to the merchant alliance in Wei.

But

The crown prince of Hanzhong was able to do a good job in the business alliance because of the beautiful porcelain, glass, perfume and soap.

He doesn't have it!

Of course

These things will be talked about after he really becomes the king of Wei.

I can't create these secrets myself, so won't I steal them?

Luoyang.

Plains Hou Mansion.

is also the son of Cao Cao, and the current life of Cao Zhi, the Marquis of the Plains, is not as happy as Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang at least led the troops, and Cao Pi didn't want to be infamous at the critical moment, so the conditions for Cao Zhang were very good.

And Cao Zhi was disgusted by Cao Pi from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for the mood of the Queen Mother Bian and the opinions of the world, I'm afraid that Cao Zhi's head would have fallen long ago.

Now.

In the study of the Hou Mansion.

Cao Zhi's face was as pale as paper, apparently due to physical weakness caused by prolonged confinement and mental stress.

His clothes were disheveled, his former gorgeous brocade robe had become ragged, his hairpin had fallen to the side at some point, and his hair was scattered in front of his forehead, no longer in his former glory.

The hair that used to be black and shiny now looks gray and messy, as if it has lost its former vitality.

"The thoughts are unforgettable, and the heart is miserable and sad."

Cao Zhi's eyes were filled with deep exhaustion, and the bags under his eyes were deep, as if he had not slept all night.

At this moment, his eyes were out of focus, he held a bottle of turbid wine in his hand, took a sip of water, and sang loudly:

"The end of the Liuhou Mansion, the wandering of super-leading. The clouds are resting in the ether, and they are willing to climb without steps. Glory and pleasure, believe in the old capital. Hate the king's fallacy, and suffer from the false words of treachery. Yang Tianwei came down, and suddenly let go of the ministers without doubt. “

His eyes used to be sharp and confident, but now they reveal a kind of helplessness and helplessness.

Even despair.

His face was covered with wrinkles of exhaustion and anxiety, and his skin had lost its former luster and looked pale and dry. His lips were pale, and he seemed to have not tasted food in days.

There are still stains on the clothes, which seem to be a portrayal of Cao Zhi's life during his captivity.

Gone are the original costumes, replaced by tattered and dirty.

"Why is my uncle so complaining?"

Outside the study room of the Hou Mansion, which was usually empty, a young man in a brocade robe slowly walked in.

He has a thin body, just looking at his eyebrows, he has seven points like Zhen Mi and three points like Cao Pi.

"Ei'er, why are you here?"

He is familiar with Zhen Mi, and on weekdays, he has actually seen Cao Ei many times, and the relationship between the two is actually quite familiar.

Seeing Cao Ei coming to see him at this moment, Cao Zhi's face showed a look of panic, he hurriedly threw the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, stepped forward and pulled Cao Ei into the study, and looked around outside, after making sure that there were no outsiders, he looked at Cao Ei with a serious face and said:

"This is not the place where you should come, I am a dying man, and I should not be implicated by my dying man."

Cao Rong shook his head and said, "Uncle is not a dying person. ”

The smile on his face was very sincere, and Cao Zhi was a little stunned when he saw it.

This girl laughed, and she really looked like that old man.

"Now I'm just surviving." Cao Zhi sighed heavily.

Cao Rong's eyes were clear, but he said: "Uncle doesn't have to die, at least he doesn't have to die now." ”

Hearing Cao Rong's words, Cao Zhi was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"The Marquis of Yanling is in turmoil, and now there are tens of thousands of rebellious troops in Henan County, I am afraid that they will come to Luoyang in the near future, the situation is critical, several ministers of Shangshutai, please ask the Queen Mother and her nephew to preside over the overall situation, it is not hidden, the nephew needs the help of his uncle."

Cao Ei's eyes were very clear, and the color of the request inside was also clear.

Cao Zhi's heart softened, thinking of his current situation, he smiled bitterly and said: "I am alive now, but it is no different from death, how do you want me to help you?" ”

Cao Rong's eyes flickered, and he said: "Write an article to refute the rumors spread by the Marquis of Yan Ling!" ”

Writing essays?

That's exactly what he's good at.

Therefore, Cao Zhi nodded very boldly.

"I naturally agree to this, but, if you enable me, what will the king think when he finds out?"

Cao Rong's face was calm, but he said: "What he thinks has nothing to do with me. ”

He just wants to show his ability to earn the popularity of the world, and at the same time, at the right time, let some riots rise in the city and get rid of the people he wants to get rid of.

That's all.

When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether he is deposed or exiled.

Because

At that time, his cowardly father had no second choice.

"Good!"

After thinking for a long time, Cao Zhi nodded heavily.

One is that he wants to break free from the cage of this Hou Mansion.

In addition, since Cao Rong asked, how could he not agree?

Anyway, it is a death horizontally and vertically, so it is better to be heroic before death, and it is not in vain to have a wonderful life.

"In this way, the nephew thanked the uncle."

Cao Rong saluted Cao Zhi, he bent down, looked down at his feet, but his eyes were very deep.

Pingyuan Hou has done it, and below, it will depend on the guard Xiahou Nan.

He attacked at night this time, I don't know if it will be effective?

And hundreds of miles away in Runan.

At this moment, it is not much quieter than Luoyang.

It can even be described as more lively.

The honor guard of King Wei, who had been stationed in Shouchun for several months, finally headed for Runan.

The march lasted more than ten days.

The main army of Wei finally reached the line between Liyang and Xincai.

It is only dozens of miles away from Baoxin City, where Zhuge Liang is located, and Pingyu City, where Zhao Yun is located.

The two true dragons of the future of the world are gathered in the land of Runan County at this moment.

One is in Liyang, and the other is in Xinxi.

And with the arrival of Cao Pi, the king of Wei, with the main army to Runan, the situation in Runan seems to have undergone subtle changes.

Originally, Liu Chan won a few big victories, almost to win the hearts of the Runan clan, and many families had the intention of surrendering.

Many scholars sent their children and women to Xinxi to serve Liu Chan.

However.

The arrival of Cao Pi, the king of Wei, made the originally active Runan Shi clan, but for a while, most of them put out the fire and their attitudes became ambiguous.

Now the two dragons are gathered in Runan.

The one who wins will gain the support of the Runan Shi clan!

Scholars, scholars.

Whoever wins, who they help, who they serve, and who they respect!
