During the military meeting, Cao Zhang was reluctant to speak again, which made Cao Pi displeased.

Xiahou Shang also knew that the scale of the Wankou battlefield was limited, and no matter how many troops he had, he could not put it away, and he lacked the width of the battlefield.

Therefore, in addition to the existing Chinese and foreign armies, the remaining troops need to be mobilized in batches to save the consumption of national strength as much as possible.

At the end of the meeting, Cao Pi set up a banquet to entertain Cao Zhang, and his tone was not good: "The Han Dynasty is the destiny of heaven and the desire of the people." Why did some people cry for the Han Emperor after the Zen was sealed? Why is that? ”

Cao Zhangzheng was holding the chopsticks, and when he heard the words, his eyebrows were lowered, and there was no expression on his face.

Su took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to shake his beard, and was about to get up to defend his actions, but Fu Xun, who didn't want to use the banquet next to him, grabbed his arm and pinched him, and whispered: "It's not a gentleman." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Pi pretended, while Cao Zhang put the chopsticks on the table and sat with his hands down without reacting.

Seeing that Cao Zhang's appearance seemed to be really unaware, Cao Pi picked up his wine glass and paced to Cao Zhang's table, bent down and asked: "Ziwen, Zijian is my closest brother, why do you want to embarrass me?" ”

"My brother doesn't know."

Cao Zhang still held his head high and lowered his eyebrows, but he looked straight at Cao Pi on the side.

Cao Pi frowned in annoyance: "I have no other intentions, I only hate Zijian for being prodigal and indulgent, and I don't know how to restrain myself." If Zijian can restrain his temperament and hold the country steadily, this court and the temple will also be fortunate. ”

"According to His Majesty's words, Zijian is not Zijian, and his subordinate brother is not his subordinate brother."

Cao Zhang picked up the wine, raised his head to take a sip, and looked sideways at Cao Pi's face: "Your Majesty's temperament is difficult, how can it be easier for his ministers and Zijian?" ”

Cao Zhang's eyes were bright and bright, revealing sadness: "Your Majesty, the courtiers only ask for three thousand horses, and they want to fight with Tian Xiaoxian for life and death." In this way, there is no regret in death. ”

The two brothers' eyes collided for a moment, Cao Pi's lips trembled, but he still couldn't hold back his breath and said: "But Zijian shouldn't cry!" The ministers slandered, pointed and pointed, and I was in a dilemma. ”

"Your Majesty, Zijian will cry, Zijian is unwilling to hide it, it is Factor Jian who trusts Your Majesty."

Cao Zhang put down the wine glass he was holding in his hand, and his tone trembled: "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to see Zijian's disguise?" ”

"Ziwen excuses Zijian everywhere, why don't you think about me?"

Cao Pi simply sat opposite Cao Zhang, and also took a sip of his wine glass: "Zijian is really willful, I can understand and be tolerant." I shoulder the responsibility of the temple community, and I don't ask Zijian to be cautious, but I just want to be relieved and understood by Zijian and Ziwen. ”

"Yes, the younger brother is willing to die for Sheji, and he is willing to mention three thousand sharp horses to fight with Tian Xiaoxian for life and death."

Cao Zhang's sadness could no longer be concealed, and he trembled: "Sima Zhongda succeeded to the imperial history Zhongcheng, didn't he know that exposing Zijian's matter would make His Majesty sad?" The younger brother had nothing else to ask for, but to fight with Tian Xiaoxian for life and death. ”

The Wei State integrated the functions of the Imperial Historian and the Sikong, and the Sikong Wang Lang was the third duke and was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Wang Lang is old, and his energy is not as good as Sima Yi, and Sima Yi is from Cao Pi's close minister, and his real power in Yushitai is more than Wang Lang.

"Ziwen?"

Cao Pi's face was even deeper with remorse, he wanted to open his mouth to persuade and apologize, but he was also ashamed and angry, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Cao Zhang turned his head to look aside: "Your Majesty is in the position of a great treasure, and he should bear the weight that ordinary people can't bear, and he should suffer things that ordinary people can't bear." The subordinates and Zijian have deficiencies in character, and they are not the materials of the society. ”

"The younger brother has repeatedly made big mistakes, and he should be punished for his crimes."

"Your Majesty thinks of brotherhood and entrusts you with a heavy responsibility to your brother, and your brother can only repay him with his life."

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive Zijian, Zijian has no harmful intentions."

Cao Pi laughed silently when he heard the self-deprecation, raised his hand to cover his face with his sleeve, got up and staggered and walked slowly towards the inner hall.

Xiahou Shang hesitated for a moment, got up and bypassed the screen, and came to the back of the hall.

Seeing Cao Pi lying on the ground seven or eight steps away, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves and crying, Xiahou Shang slowly stepped forward to pick up Cao Pi, who was choked and couldn't help himself, and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, Yan Linghou has a strong personality, but he doesn't love Your Majesty." ”

Ziwen would rather die and refuse to take a step back, Ziwen is still excusing Zijian until his death...... I feel aggrieved. ”

"Zijian embarrassed me, my mother blamed me, Ziwen also said that Zijian said that I am not as good as Zijian everywhere?"

"Boren, I don't understand."

Cao Pi was picked up and walked to the compartment in the hall, his voice weak and weak: "Father loves Cangshu, loves Zijian, and also loves Ziwen, why am I alone?" ”

"Your Majesty is the eldest son of Emperor Wu, if you don't love it, it's great love."

Xiahou Shang still admonished softly: "Your Majesty is the elder brother of the Marquis of Yanling, and it is precisely because of your dear Majesty that the Marquis of Yanling confides in his heart." This letter is not beautiful, and it is not believable to believe good words. Marquis Yanling is not treacherous and treacherous, how can he use words to please His Majesty? ”

"What about Zijian? Liu Bei and Sun Quan are tigers and wolves, and the national fortune is difficult, how can Zijian not understand my difficulties? ”

"Your Majesty, Linzi Hou Sheng** Man, treat Your Majesty sincerely, although there are occasional mistakes, flaws are not concealed, after all, it is Your Majesty's luck, and Sheji's luck."

Xiahou Shang saw that Cao Pi wiped away his tears and his emotions stabilized, so he recovered his voice slightly, and his tone was gentle: "Presumably, Marquis Yan Ling also has regret in his heart at this moment, but he refused to show it because of his face, and after the banquet was dispersed, the ministers persuaded Marquis Yan Ling." ”

"Alas...... Then entrust it to Boren, I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that Ziwen will not mention the matter of life and death with Tian Xiaoxian. ”

Cao Pi patted Xiahou Shang on the shoulder, Xiahou Shang bent down to salute, and watched Cao Pi walk to the side hall, and soon Cao Pi finished changing clothes, and returned to the main hall with Xiahou Shang as usual.

The banquet in the hall is the same as before, and Cao Zhang is still in a twilight posture.

At the end of the banquet, Xiahou Shang sent Cao Zhang and Xiahou Ru westward to the edge of Xianyang Garden in the western suburbs.

Xianyang Yuan was as dilapidated as before, and when Xiahou Shang said goodbye, he asked: "When discussing military aircraft, does the prince have other lofty opinions?" ”

Cao Zhang's attitude was cold, and Xiahou Shang explained: "Junhou, Liu Bei treats Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, and Tian Xiaoxian with three courtesies, and it can be known that there will definitely be no less than 200,000 people in the border next year. He has come from all over the country, and I should deal with it with the whole country. ”

"Ugh."

Cao Zhangchang exhaled turbidity and looked at the west: "Relying on the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, it is enough to hold Qishan Road, Chencang, and Wuguan Road." The Central Plains does not have to recruit more troops and horses, Yanyu, Qingxu and Xu Sizhou gathered 50,000 elite soldiers, and then hung 10,000 elite cavalry on the side, the enemy did not dare to move lightly, and the foot soldiers could resist the invasion, so why bother to raise the army of the country? ”

"It's useless to talk about it today, if the Lord is tackling the key problems, this battle is just thrilling. If we gather a large army to invade the Central Plains, I will lead the strong cavalry and sharp soldiers to take the Wuguan Road and attack it. ”

Cao Zhang said and looked sideways at Xiahou Shang: "I expect Tian Xiao to recuperate in Nanyang first, just in time to fight with him." ”

After that, Cao Zhang kicked the horse's belly and left first, and more than a dozen knights rode their horses and galloped away.

Xiahou Ru asked, "What are the teachings of my brother?" ”

Cao Zhen is the governor of Yongliang, and Cao Zhen's sister is Xiahou Shang's wife.

When Xiahou Shang opposed Cao Zhang's military coup, Xiahou Shang held the Luoyang Forbidden Army at that time, and Cao Zhang only had the accompanying army rushing to Luoyang from Chang'an, and Chang'an and other Guanzhong regions were in Cao Zhen's hands.

Maybe he could kill a lot of people on the spot and completely destroy Cao Wei's stability, but Cao Zhang couldn't stop Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen's flanking attack.

It was Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen who forced Cao Zhang back, but it was not Jia Kui's angry words.

Xiahou Ru was questioning Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Shang hesitated and said: "I expect that the enemy army will feint to attack Yongliang, and we should gather a large army to wait for battle in Luoyang." He also asked Zidan to transfer five thousand Jianqi from Liangzhou so that the Central Plains could call. ”

Choose one or the other, you have to make a choice.

Xiahou Shang made a multiple-choice question, an answer that would be of great benefit to the development of Xiahou's family.
