On the third day of Liu Bei's retreat from Kunyang, Luoyang City, Xiyuan.

Xiahou Shang came to see Cao Pi in white clothes, and Cao Pi was lying on his side in the warm pavilion, holding a polished agate stone pill in his hand.

Squinting at Xiahou Shang kneeling on the ground and begging for death, Cao Pi grabbed an agate stone pill from his left hand as if drawing lots, buckled it to his fingertips and popped it out against the bamboo rattan basket five steps away, and the stone pill landed accurately in the basket.

With a crisp sound, Cao Pi asked, "Boren really doesn't want to lead the troops anymore?" ”

"If you don't want to, you can't do anything."

Xiahou Shang looked up at Cao Pi, made eye contact, and his voice came from the bottom of his heart: "The minister's heart is failing, his spirit is gone, and commanding the army is really a mistake for the country." The minister also knew the capital crime, and implored His Majesty to kill the minister to punish the punishment. ”

"Ziwen has gone, Boren will go again, what fun can I have?"

Cao Pi's left hand agate stone pill turned into his right hand, and rolled towards Xiahou Shang, more than a dozen agate balls rolled in front of him, and Xiahou was still unmoved.

Seeing this, Cao Pi laughed at himself and looked at Xiahou Shang seriously: "The most beautiful is when I was a teenager...... Beren, I was wrong. ”

"Your Majesty, it is the minister's heart disease that cannot be treated, and the minister's fault is not known."

Xiahou Shang said that tears flowed down his cheeks, his haggard face was full of grievances, and he looked at Cao Pi quietly, wanting to ask why.

Cao Pi also burst into tears of remorse, covering his face with his sleeve and wiping his tears with the other hand.

There are so many whys in the world, what you do is what you do, and if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out.

With a slight confinement, Cao Pi's voice changed slightly, he waved his sleeves, and the waiter brought a plate of military books and put it in front of Xiahou Shang: "Boren, I will serve as a staff officer again." ”

"Minister...... The minister tried his best. ”

Xiahou Shang flipped through these military books, from Tian Xin's old wounds, to the retreat of the main force of the Han army, and the rebellion of Wu Ban, as well as the movements of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.

It was just a handwritten letter from Cao Zhi that made Xiahou Shang stunned, and Cao Zhi proposed that the Great Wei be divided into three parts, with Cao Zhi establishing the Qi State to resist Sun Quan, Cao Zhang guarding Guanlong for the King of Qin, Qin and Qi as Wei Fuyi, and Cao Pi sitting in Hebei.

If Cao Zhi wants to be the king of Wei Qi, then Liu Xie, who was erected by the people of Yanzhou, will come from and go back.

Cao Zhang, as the king of Qin, will definitely be able to defend the land of Guanlong.

This world is still the largest in the Great Wei, even if there is a civil war in the future, it will rot into the Cao family's pot, and the wealth of the Qian Pei Township Party will last forever, without damaging the foundation.

The feudal king's defense of the border is just the integration of the Zhou system, the prefecture pastoral system, and the four major metropolitan governors of Sun and Wu, which is not a surprising measure, but it has a certain applicability.

At least the Great Wei is still the Great Wei, and the two kingdoms of Qin and Qi are pro-vassal countries, and they can negotiate and unite with the outside world if there are contradictions.

Looking at the development of events before and after, Cao Pi must have shelved Cao Zhi's proposal and chose to support Cao Zhen and let Cao Zhen launch a decisive battle.

Before and after Xiahou Shang's analysis, he also understood Cao Pi's concerns, and held this silk book: "Your Majesty, when Zijian sent the silk book, but after Ziwen left Beijing?" ”

"Yes."

Cao Pi spit out a word, the grievances in his heart burst out, and he crawled in front of Xiahou Shang with his hands and feet, and put his hands on Xiahou Shang's thin shoulders: "Boren knows me!" Boren knows me! ”

Cao Pi was full of tears, choked and couldn't help himself: "It's Ziwen!" I also want to take a step back, it is Ziwen who breaks the family first...... Ziwen broke the family......"

In Cao Zhang's state at that time, he accepted the seal of Qin Guoce, would he fight with himself first?

Cao Pi didn't dare to gamble, but as a result, Cao Zhangyong died in battle, his own guilt, his mother's blame and grief, the views of his ministers, and Cao Zhi will also completely deviate from himself.

The decisive battle of the army was also a crushing defeat, and the gamble lost everything.

All kinds of negative emotions are mixed together, both internally and externally, and Cao Pi can only deal with this discomfort and suffering with tears.

It was a choice made by himself, but Cao Zhang first broke his family and swore to death, and then Cao Zhi threw a new choice in front of him, and he could make a better choice?

But her mother won't care so much, she will only complain that she forced Cao Zhang to break the house, that she refused Cao Zhi's proper handling method, and that she caused Cao Zhang to die in battle.

Mother is in Yecheng, and now she has no face to face her mother, but that is her mother after all, how can she ignore it as a son of man?

If my mother is still like this, what should the people of the world, the ministers and the people think?

will point at himself and scold, scold himself for being stupid and selfish, reject Cao Zhi's good strategy, and force Cao Zhang to death.

Cao Pi's tears couldn't stop falling, and he looked at Xiahou Shang full of begging: "Boren! The situation is difficult, Boren will help me for a while? ”

Xiahou Shang also burst into tears: "The minister can't do anything." ”

Cao Pi stared at Xiahou Shang in a daze, ordinary people may have been terrified for a long time, and they were moved by Cao Pi's sincerity.

Xiahou is still unmoved, he can kill if he wants, and he is free to kill my family if he wants, when you kill my family, please consider the views of Cao Zhen, Xiahou family, and Qian Peixiang Party.

I'm really afraid of death, Xiahou Shang won't come to Luoyang.

He restrained his emotions, sorted out the military book in front of him, and said in a slightly hoarse and low voice: "The withdrawal of the Han army is not a fraud. He has won all the battles, and there is no need to take any chances. ”

"Tian Xiaoxian's old injury should also be true, when the minister met with this person in front of the battle, he noticed that this person was inconvenient to walk, like a zombie. In the past three years, the Han army has been fighting for many years, and this person has been injured and sick for more than 100 years. ”

Xiahou Shang said indifferently: "Tian Xiaoxian's body is strong, even if he is injured and sick, if he can't die urgently, he will be able to recover within three or five days." If our army takes the opportunity to pursue, it will be countered. ”

After that, Xiahou Shang glanced at Cao Zhi's silk book and did not express his opinion.

forced Cao Zhang's family to die, and Cao Zhang also died in battle.

In this case, Cao Zhi will no longer consider the Great Wei and brotherhood, and Cao Zhi's proposal for this silk book has been invalid when Cao Zhang dies in battle.

Now we must beware of Cao Zhi's revenge, and all those who assisted Cao Pi in forcing Cao Zhang to death are within the scope of Cao Zhi's revenge.

Cao Pi still had something to look forward to, picked up Cao Zhi's silk book and said: "Boren doesn't know, the maid in Ziwen's mansion is pregnant, and Ziwen may have a grandson." ”

Could it be that a baby is enshrined as the king of Qin?

Just with this grandson who has no feelings for Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, can he exchange Cao Zhi's trust?

Xiahou Shang calmly looked at Cao Pi, who was mentally abnormal, and felt sad in his heart: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wu's heirs are prosperous, how many people are good with Zijian?" ”

There are more than 20 brothers of the same generation, who have a friendly relationship with each other, and how many brothers can rely on each other?

Cao Zhi recognized Cao Zhang in his eyes, and Cao Zhang only recognized Cao Zhi, and his feelings faded when he reached his son's generation, and even weaker when he reached his grandson's generation.

Even if the pregnant maid gave birth to a baby boy, she only carried Cao Zhang's blood, not Cao Zhang's feelings.

Bloodline can fool ordinary people, everyone is not an ordinary person, knowing the truth of a person's life, and not having too many expectations for the baby boy who may be born.

Xiahou Shang saw Cao Pi stunned, and took a few steps back with his hands on the ground: "The criminal minister retreats." ”

Then he got up, took a step back, and then turned and walked away slowly.

Xiahou Shang left on his own, and the attendants who were guarding outside the warm room looked at each other, did they accuse Xiahou Shang of being rude?

I'm afraid that now that Xiahou Shang has drawn his sword and hacked a few servants, maybe Cao Pi will clap his hands and laugh.

Before Xiahou Shang left the palace gate, he saw Xu Chu, the general of Wuwei in the distance, and Xiahou Shang didn't care.

Cao Ren was bullied by Xu Chu because he was weak, and the Xiahou family was different from Cao Ren.

It is estimated that the Great Wei court did not expect Cao Ren to hand over the general seal to Cao Xiu, Cao Ren did not recognize the appointment of the imperial court at all, this is to express dissatisfaction, the stubborn old man is unreasonable, he cannot convince people with reason, and he is very resentful.

Not long after Xiahou Shang left, Cao Xiu collected his emotions and asked Xu Chu, who came in: "Where did Boren go?" ”

"Go straight to the north."
