Luoyang, Xianyang Garden.

Cao Pi, whose body is gradually recovering, really can't sit still in this turbulent period of dragon and tiger competition.

When the Wei army of Luoyang was mobilized, he also led his close attendants, who had been reduced to more than 100 people, to return to Xianyang Garden to hunt...... In the golden autumn, the beasts in Xianyang Garden have been recuperating for almost four years, which is really gluttonous.

The horses galloped briskly on the forest path, Cao Pi wore a green and brown brocade robe, holding the reins in his left hand, and his right hand grasping the bow and his body rose and fell with the horse's galloping bumps.

With the help of Takahashi's saddle and bilateral stirrups, Cao Pi, who had recovered physically, only felt that his riding skills were far better than those back then, almost reaching the level of a cavalry general in the army.

Men and horses are one.

The horses galloped at almost a constant speed, chasing the tired herd.

These herds were driven by other scattered small teams, and they were running in relay layers, and now they were almost exhausted to the extreme.

Cao Pi fired seven arrows in a row to hit an elk, and immediately threw the bow in his hand to his attendants, riding his horse to chase the injured elk.

After a moment of chase, the tired, injured elk could no longer run, and the four slender, slender legs standing under the forest trembled and trembled, as if they could barely stand firmly.

The black round and big eyes looked around, and then he kept looking at Cao Pi who was getting closer and closer.

Cao Pilema looked at the elk in front of him who couldn't walk at all more than a dozen paces away.

As a person who likes to hunt, this way of driving his prey and exhausting the energy and strength of the prey is an instinct of his.

So this kind of scene, he is already very familiar with.

It's just that what he remembers most is when he was in good health and healthy a few years ago, and it was also on this occasion that he shot the wounded and tired doe; The young deer who had always followed refused to leave, so he asked Cao Rong to shoot him.

Cao Rong said something very guilty and moving, which calmed Cao Li's mind.

As a result, Cao Li died violently when he fell from his horse drunk, and he was also expelled by the crown prince and hundreds of officials, and now although he is the emperor of Great Wei, he is actually only the lord of Luoyang, and has become a buffer between the northern mansion and the Han court.

Zhang Fei has already raised troops to recover the old capital, and it is time for him, the lord of Luoyang, to give way.

Looking at the deer running alone in front of him, could it be the deer released by Cao Rong back then?

Thinking about it, Cao Pi grabbed the bow with his left hand this time, pinched the string with his right hand, and after a red feather arrow was full, the black arrow shadow in front of him quickly became smaller when the string sounded, and it was nailed straight into the chest under the lost neck.

Seriously injured, I was only a few steps back when I got lost, and I wanted to turn around and escape, but my hooves were weak and collapsed to the ground, making useless struggles, and I screamed.

Cao Pi lowered his eyebrows and watched, and when he heard more knights catching up behind him, he saw that Zhongqiu Gong Cao Mao had no sense of substitution for the safari, so he said, "Zhongqiu Gong, are you interested in slaughtering this deer." ”

Cao Mao looked at Cao Pi when he heard the sound, and then looked at the dying deer, and opened his mouth to respond: "Only." ”

He put down his bow, turned over and dismounted, and drew his dagger from his waist as he walked towards the elk, holding it tightly.

Xu Chu, who was stationed behind Ma Cao Pi, stared at Cao Mao's right hand holding the dagger, and couldn't help frowning.

Cao Mao stepped forward and pressed the front leg of the injured deer with his knee from behind, pressed the deer's head with his left hand, and gently slid the blade of the dagger in his right hand on the fur of the deer's neck.

Streams of bright red deer blood gushed out, and the injured deer that was suppressed by Cao Mao had a strong throbbing at first, and then the reaction became more and more slight, until it no longer moved.

Waiting for the blood to run out, Cao Mao wiped the blood of the dagger on the deer skin, put it in the sheath, and got up to salute: "Your Majesty." ”

Cao Pi saw that Cao Mao was still hanging on his son, and his mind was in a state of indifference, and his dissatisfaction with him was even stronger.

Since I was a child, I have never liked this younger brother.

How to look, how to get tired.

The interest in hunting suddenly disappeared, and Cao Pi only nodded slightly to Cao Mao in response, so he turned the horse's head and left, and the attendants around him were unknown, so they still followed closely and turned the horse's head one after another.

After a short time, Cao Mao's master and servant were left to stay in place, and the old servant asked: "Lord, what should this deer do?" ”

"How can you slack off on the things that Your Majesty hunts?"

Cao Mao bit the word "Your Majesty" very hard, as if he was sarcastic, and the servants on the left and right didn't hear it, so they stepped forward and lifted the deer and tied it to the horse, chasing Cao Pi's brigade.

In the camping area, Cao Mao arrived here when Cao Pi and Man Pet were talking in the open space of the river canal in the distance, far away, but Man Pet's tall and fat figure was very recognizable.

On the edge of the half-step-wide canal, Man Zhong told in detail: "According to Chen Gong's inference, the Song Duke of the DPRK has made a decision. The heir of the Han lord Liu Gongji will never be restrained, and Zhuge Qiao, the original servant, colluded with people who could not be reused in the court during his lifetime, and many generals were recruited. It is impossible to tell whether Zhuge Qiao contributed to Liu Gonghei or Zhuge Kongming's instructions. ”

Cao Pi nodded slightly, which was consistent with the relevant information of the Wei State.

Since the center of the Great Wei Dynasty moved to Yedu, the general Cao Zhen guarded Luoyang...... And the four states of Kanto fell, so Cao Zhen was also responsible for sending spies and plotting against the depressed Han generals and generals.

Plotting against the hostile camp is a complicated job, and often the first step is to send the other party's fellow villagers, clansmen, and old friends to defect to maintain and enhance their feelings...... There are even some people who don't know their purpose at all, and when they need to rebel, these people have their own lifeblood in Luoyang, and they don't worry about their contribution.

The resettlement of Cao Zhen in the six counties of Taiyuan gave Cao Zhen a great retreat and a chance to survive by betraying the country...... Cao Zhencai handed over this intelligence force.

Otherwise, with the weight of Luoyang, it would be impossible for the Han army to accept Cao Zhen at a high price, and at the same time, they would like to use Luoyang to brush up on their achievements.

So if there is no need, the Han army would prefer to take Luoyang by itself, rather than surrender and accept Cao Zhen's traitorous behavior.

Now place Cao Zhen in the land of the six counties west of Taihang Mountain, regardless of whether he has the intention of betraying the country to survive, anyway, the opportunity is given to him.

With the beautiful place of Jindi, Cao Zhen chose to defend it in order to repay the favor of the first emperor, or chose peace for the sake of family wealth and calming the war to avoid more indifferent casualties...... had the capital to operate, so in terms of the situation that the Wei State was about to collapse at that time, Cao Zhen would agree to Cao Pi's conditions.

So the expelled Cao Pi had Luoyang as a place to settle down, which could maintain the prestige on the surface; And Cao Zhen also has a gambling fund for him to cast a dice.

Back then, everyone took what they needed, but now they have to use it.

Cao Pi listened to Manzhong relay the information of Guanzhong, as well as the situation deduction made by Guanzhong based on this information...... Cao Pi, on the other hand, supplemented and revised the information in Guanzhong based on the information obtained by his own spies, and re-deduced the situation on this basis.

Obviously, the general had no way out, and when he provoked Beifu and Tian Xin's bottom line step by step, he finally met his nemesis.

After making such a big mistake, he could no longer bind Beifu with prestige and affection, and after losing the cooperation of Beifu, it was meaningless for him to stay in the court.

Therefore, only by leading the army at the front line can we exert the military prestige that still exists...... At the very least, it can stabilize the morale of the front-line troops and ensure the emotional stability of the troops.

can replace Guan Yu, and there is only one Zhuge Kongming left.

This prime minister of the Han family, who bullied the barbarians in Nanzhong, is also a wizard like Xiao He, so after he came to power in Jiangdu, he is estimated to be doing work similar to Xiao He.

Regardless of the handover process of Guan Yu and Zhuge Kongming, or Zhuge Kongming's entry into power...... This is where the opportunity of the Han emperor lies.

This emperor still has a way out, whether it is Beifu or the general, after learning about this emperor and Zhuge Qiao's small moves, they will not kill him, it is a big deal to change the emperor.

But the depressed emperor faction around this emperor was very emotionally unstable after Zhuge Qiao's sudden death...... It is very likely that at any time in Jiangdu, various uncertain changes will occur.

In a hurry, these people who don't want to die will even stab the emperor with a knife.

This is a group of real gamblers, as long as the framework of the Han family's hegemony does not change, then the emperor can always gather a group of people with lofty ideals who are determined to respect the emperor, restore the imperial power, and fight against the hegemony and ministers.

How do you burn this fire?

At this moment, the full favor who has never been favored and Cao Pi looked at each other, and had a tacit understanding, thinking about how to stab this crucial knife...... And even only this one chance to stab.

Guanzhong is willing to confide and exchange relevant information...... Isn't this a form of trust, connivance and acquiescence?
