Chu Yi was not surprised by Zhang Lu's choice, if Zhang Lu really chose to continue to confront the imperial court, then there was really a problem.

It is said that Chu Yi is still quite optimistic about Zhang Lu, not to mention that Zhang Lu's cultivation is only slightly inferior to Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, but once there is a chance, it may not be possible to go further.

What's more, listening to the meaning of Zuo Ci, Nanhua, and Yu Ji, Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, may even be alive.

If Zhang Daoling is really still alive, then the other party must be a supreme powerhouse who has been immersed in the Tianzhu Realm for a long time, if he destroys Zhang Daoling's Dao system, the ghost knows if the other party will break through, even if he has the altar of luck in hand, against a strong person like Zhang Daoling, I am afraid that it will take a lot of tricks and feet, and if it is not good, it will have to pay a great price.

Now that Zhang Lu has made the choice to return to the imperial court, Chu Yi will naturally not disappoint Zhang Lu

Nodding at Zhang Lu, Chu Yi smiled and said: "Taishou can get lost and know how to return, and the court will definitely not treat Zhang Taishou badly." ”

Of course, Zhang Lu didn't really care about whether he could be an official, and the reason why he occupied the land of Hanzhong was just for the convenience of preaching.

Now there is no bottom in his heart about whether to preach or not, after all, who has a precedent for Zhang Jiao, in Zhang Lu's opinion, the imperial court is very likely to prohibit the Wudou Mi Sect from preaching in Hanzhong.

If the imperial court really forbade preaching, Zhang Lu would not be unacceptable, after all, although their Heavenly Master's Mansion said that they had created the Wudou Rice Sect, it was not in the Wudou Rice Sect at all, but the Five Dou Rice Sect was founded by the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and as their descendants, it was not easy to break the inheritance of the Five Dou Rice Sect, so they would preach vigorously.

If it is said that it can get rid of the Five Dou Rice Sect, it is not unacceptable to the Zhang family of the Heavenly Master Mansion.

What really made Zhang Lu care was whether Chu Yi would guide him, so that he could also get a glimpse of the scenery of the Heavenly Pillar Realm like Yu Ji, Nanhua, and Zuo Ci.

Chu Yi looked at Zhang Lu's expectant look, and said slowly: "If Zhang Taishou has leisure, he might as well come to Chu to talk about it." ”

Hearing Chu Yi say this, Zhang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he arched his hand at Chu Yi and said: "It is really an honor for Zhang to be able to discuss with His Royal Highness, and he will definitely visit him in person one day." ”

Saying that, Zhang Lu threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked at Chu Yi with a straight expression and said: "This time, Zhang Mou has invited the Venerable Purple Void, if nothing else, now the Venerable Purple Void should have entered Hanzhong......"

Nanhua Daoist stroked his beard, a bright light flashed in his eyes and smiled: "The Purple Void Old Dao is also here, so I will go from the poor Dao to see the Purple Void Daoist, and I will persuade him to return to the right path." ”

Chu Yi nodded at Nanhua Daoist and said, "Since this is the case, then there will be Lao Daoyou." ”

Seeing Nanhua Daoren and Zhang Lu take off, Chu Yi said to Yu Ji and Zuo Ci: "Two Taoist friends will return to Beijing with this king." ”

Luoyang City, Jingshi.

The news that hundreds of thousands of Liu Yan and Chen soldiers in Yizhou were in dangerous passes in Yizhou has been transmitted back to the Beijing Division, especially Liu Yan even ordered to kill the little yellow gate sent by the imperial court to Chengdu Mansion to deliver the decree, which is tantamount to showing the world that he Liu Yan is going to rebel against the imperial court.

Above the court, many civil and military ministers clamored to send a large army to break through Yizhou and arrest Liu Yan.

It's just that Chu Yi is not in Luoyang, the capital division, and when it comes to the deployment of the army, even He Miao, who is a general, does not dare to make a decision.

Just as He Miao was frowning in the general's mansion, a servant walked into the study and said to He Miao: "General, the king of Chu has returned to the mansion."

He Miao suddenly got up, and said with a little excitement on his face: "What? Is the King of Chu back? ”

Chu Yi left Beijing a few times ago, and when He Miao got the news, Chu Yi had already left the Beijing Division, and he had been there for a few days, but it made He Miao have no master, as if he had lost his backbone all of a sudden.

When He Miao appeared in Chu Yi's mansion, Chu Yi had just freshened up.

When he saw Chu Yi, He Miao said to Chu Yi with a happy face: "Your Highness, you are finally back!" ”

Glancing at He Miao, Chu Yi motioned for He Miao to sit down, and said with a little surprise: "Oh, the general is in such a hurry, could it be that something happened to the court?" ”

Today, with Yuan Shao and Han Sui's ambush, it can be said that those anti-thieves who are entrenched on one side have disappeared one by one, and there is no movement, for fear that the imperial court will turn its attention to them.

Now the only thing that can be regarded as a disaster is Liu Yan, who is entrenched in Yizhou, and for Liu Yan, the imperial court also has a countermeasure, it is said that He Miao, as a general, should not react like this.

He Miao hurriedly said: "Your Highness doesn't know, not long ago, there was news in Yizhou, the little yellow gate sent by the imperial court to Yizhou to read the imperial court's will was beheaded by Liu Yanshengsheng, this move can be described as a big rebellion, His Royal Highness is not there, and the princes of the court dare not make decisions without authorization......

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, a few days after he left, Liu Yan killed the imperial court envoy, but from Liu Yan's act of encouraging Zhang Lu, it can be seen that Liu Yan has made up his mind and gone all the way to the dark.

Therefore, Chu Yi was not surprised by Liu Yan's action of killing the imperial court envoy, and nodded slightly: "It seems that Liu Yan will not hit the south wall and will not look back, or not, since he is looking for death himself, then it will be as he wishes." ”

Saying that, Chu Yi glanced at He Miao and said, "The general will go back and dispatch troops, and the imperial court will dispatch a large army to attack Yizhou." ”

Hearing Chu Yi say this, He Miao's spirit was shocked, and he immediately hugged his fist towards Chu Yi and said, "I'll go back and dispatch troops and horses, I don't know who is the main commander this time?" ”

The conquest of the Yizhou Imperial Court is afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops will be dispatched, and the commander of these hundreds of thousands of troops is naturally the top priority, and it is naturally up to Chu Yi to decide.

Chu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Then there will be Cao Mengde as the commander." ”

I thought that Chu Yi would call Huang Zhong or Lu Bu as the commander, but I didn't expect Chu Yi to call Cao Cao's name.

Although Cao Cao also has a considerable status under Chu Yi, in the eyes of a considerable number of people, Cao Cao's status is obviously inferior to that of Huang Zhong and Lu Bu.

Although he was surprised in his heart, He Miao naturally did not question Chu Yi's decision, and now that Chu Yi ordered Cao Cao's general, he just had to convey it according to Chu Yi's meaning.

Cao Fu

Cao Cao can now be regarded as a successful achievement, whether it is a title or an official position, he can already be regarded as an official and prosperous, especially when he decisively stood on Chu Yi's side, although he is not as good as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, but he can also be regarded as a veteran under Chu Yi.

It is for this reason that the Cao family is becoming more and more prosperous, according to this posture, if there is no accident, their Cao family will definitely be stronger in the future.

On this day, Cao Cao was drinking with several brothers in the mansion when he saw the old servant coming in a hurry, and said from afar: "Master, the angel is coming, the angel is coming, the angel is coming......"

Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Chun glanced at each other, and suddenly got up, led by Cao Cao, and the brothers hurriedly went to the front yard.

In the distance, I saw a team of yellow doors standing in the front yard.

The leader of the Yellow Gate's eyes lit up when he saw Cao Cao, and with a smile on his face, he took a few steps forward and arched his hand at Cao Cao and said, "Lord Weiwei, take the order!" ”

Wei Wei is one of the nine kings, the three princes and nine kings can be said to be the most noble existence in the court, Cao Cao is ranked in the nine kings at his age, which shows the honor of the Cao family.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, stepped forward and saluted: "Minister Cao Cao, accept the order!" ”

The Yellow Gate Order slowly opened the silk silk, and read out the holy decree drafted by He Miao word by word, the meaning of the will is very simple, that is, to appoint Cao Cao as the general of the southern expedition, command 100,000 troops, and send troops to Yizhou.

Cao Cao was only slightly stunned, but when he reacted, he took the holy decree with his respectful hands, and then bowed and said, "Minister Cao Cao received the decree and thanked him." ”

sent away the Huangmen Ling and his party who read the holy decree, and only the Cao family was left in the Cao Mansion.

In the courtyard, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan looked at the holy decree in Cao Cao's hand with a little excitement in their eyes.

Even Cao Cao's hand holding the holy decree trembled a little, and his face was full of uncontrollable joy.

Although he said that he was very valued by Chu Yi, compared to generals such as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, who had made many meritorious contributions in the conquest of the army, he Cao Cao rarely established any meritorious achievements.

Now sitting on the high position of one of the guards of Jiuqing, even Cao Cao himself feels a little uneasy, and now that the imperial court has named him as the commander of the expedition to Yizhou, Cao Cao knows very well in his heart that the commander of the expedition to Yizhou cannot be the master except for Chu Yi.

Now that Chu Yi has ordered him as the commander, Cao Cao is extremely excited and happy in his heart, which shows that Chu Yi still values him very much, and now he is ordered to be the commander to conquer Liu Yan, why not give him a chance to prove himself.

"Brother, congratulations, the King of Chu appointed you as the general of Zhengnan, which is important to you."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart and looked at the brothers: "This time the king of Chu is valued, for my brother to get this opportunity, I must prove to the world that I, Cao Mengde, am not a wasted person, and Cao deserves the position of a guard." ”

Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly: "The eldest brother will go to Yizhou to conquer Liu Yan and rebel this time, and he will definitely bring our brother with him." ”

Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth, and Cao Hong and Cao Chun also opened their mouths, clamoring to take them.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "As the so-called fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, our brothers naturally want to go out together, and this time I also ask you brothers to help, so that everyone can know that my Cao family is also full of talents." ”

The speed at which the imperial court mobilized the army was extremely fast, and it only took a few days to raise an army of 100,000, and even the necessary food and straw were prepared.

Cao Cao bid farewell to Chu Yi, commanded an army of 100,000 in high spirits, and went straight to Yizhou.

Hanzhong, as the gateway to Yizhou, can be described as an extremely important strategic place, if it were not for Zhang Lu entrenched here, Liu Yan would never tolerate Hanzhong not being under his control.

Before the imperial army approached Hanzhong, in front of the tall city, Zhang Wei couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he looked at the angry imperial army below, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

At the same time, Zhang Wei was also secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, his own lord made the choice to return to the imperial court, otherwise, with the strength of Hanzhong, if he really faced the imperial army, Zhang Wei was really worried about how many deaths and injuries his subordinates would have at that time.

Looking at the majestic imperial army below and the fierce generals who did not hide their evil spirits, Zhang Wei just casually looked at it and found that at least a dozen generals were too strong than him, and he was secretly frightened while slowly raising his hand and shouting: "Obey the order of the lord, open the city gate, and welcome the imperial army into the city." ”

One of the generals sent by Liu Yan to help Hanzhong was standing not far from Zhang Wei's side, and his eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, and he looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief and subconsciously said, "General Zhang, what do you mean by this......"

But the next moment he only felt a sharp pain coming from his vest, and when he looked down, he saw a blood-stained sword piercing through his heart, but someone pierced it from behind.

"You ...... You ......"

Zhang Wei glanced at the Yizhou general who was dumbfounded, and said to the soldiers with a confused look on his face: "What are you doing in a daze, Liu Yan rebelled against the imperial court, how could our Taishou Lord help the abuse, and not go with this general to meet the imperial court soldiers." ”

Soon the city gate opened, and the gate of Hanzhong opened.

Yizhou Chengdu Mansion, on the high city wall, a team of elite soldiers patrolled, since the imperial court sent troops, under Liu Yan's strict orders, the entire Yizhou was in a state of high alert.

A figure fell from the sky and fell into the city of Yizhou.

The Han Wang's Mansion was built by Liu Yan after he became the king, which can be described as luxurious, and now Liu Yan sat there with a gloomy face, looking at his henchmen.

Liu Yan glanced at Wu Yi and said, "How is the conscription work, we must recruit another 100,000 soldiers and horses within half a month." ”

It can be seen that Liu Yan is a little panicked, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to recruit soldiers and horses.

"Report, report, Hanzhong war report!"

Hearing the shouts of the heralds, in the originally dull living room, the eyes of all the people looked towards the entrance of the hall.

I saw a figure walking quickly into the hall, bowed there with a puff and said to Liu Yan: "Lord Qiqi, there is an urgent report from Hanzhong County." ”

Hearing the shouts of the heralds, in the originally dull living room, the eyes of all the people looked towards the entrance of the hall.
