Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 549 Xu Huang's Advice

"I have been investigating this matter since I was in Yecheng, but I still have no clues."

"We set out today, but we got a clue."

"Could it be that after I left, those rebels had other intentions?"

"If this happens... I'm afraid I'll alert the enemy when I go back."

"Why not ask Zhong Yao to close the door and catch the thief!"

After thinking about it, Cao Pi decided to postpone his trip to Yecheng.

In this way, Xing Daorong can be restrained on the one hand, and the thieves in Yecheng can be caught on the other hand, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The only question is... whether my body can withstand it.

But Cao Pi was not too worried about this!
I am still very young...death seems to be very far away from me.

Although this minor gunshot wound looked quite serious and made his condition not very good, after a few days of recuperation, Cao Pi felt that it was not a big problem.

Perhaps it was because Xing Daorong did not dare to move these days that he was in a good mood, which made his injuries heal faster.

However, Cao Pi's change of mind still made the generals feel a little strange. After asking, they found out that it was the reaction caused by Zhong Yao's letter.

Originally, this matter sounded like a legitimate reason, but when Xu Huang heard that it was Zhong Yao who was behind it, he immediately felt that something was wrong!

Ever since he began to have some doubts about Zhong Yao, Xu Huang had always wanted to investigate him secretly.

But the war is tense now and he really has no free time.

I can only talk to Wu Zhi and teach him to be more careful.

Unexpectedly, before Wu Zhi could find out anything, Zhong Yao took the initiative again!
Although he didn't know what the purpose of bringing out this letter and saying that he had found out the clues was, Xu Huang decided to tell His Majesty his guess.

I always feel that... Zhong Yao can't be shooting without a purpose!

There must be something behind this.

...

Xu Huang had no evidence, so he still used some techniques when talking about this matter with Cao Pi.

But he said: "Your Majesty... I am not a person who is suspicious at will, but what Yuan Changgong did recently really... really makes people suspicious."

"His claim of feigning surrender and escaping is also quite incredible."

"Although I have no evidence, the news about Lord Yuan Chang... please be careful, Your Majesty."

When Cao Pi heard what Xu Huang said, he was also shocked.

I really didn’t expect...Xu Huang would actually suspect Zhong Yao.

I have never heard of any discord between the two of them, so why would Xu Huang suspect Zhong Yao!

Zhong Yao...is the model of a loyal minister that I set myself!
The only one who could escape from Xing Daorong was Zhong Yao!
How could this be possible if he was not loyal to Wei?

Look at people like Cui Yan and Chang Lin, they are all rebels!

Even Zhang Liao...actually surrendered to Xing Daorong.

Only Zhong Yao not only did not resist the bewitching and surrendered, but was able to come back!

He is so loyal, I never thought anything would go wrong with him!
only…

Xu Huang was indeed not a talkative person, and Cao Pi could see that. He had no choice but to say these words today.

But then again, there is not a single bit of evidence, it is all based on speculation, which does make Cao Pi a little embarrassed... He said: "General Xu... If Lord Yuan Chang is really as you said, there are some problems, then why did he take this letter from Xing Daorong today?"

"I am even asked to return to Yecheng as soon as possible to take charge of the situation!"

"Isn't he afraid that I will find out something when I get back and let me know that there is something wrong?"

This…

Xu Huang was good at planning war situations, but engaging in palace fighting and trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts were too difficult for him.

Cao Pi left him speechless for a long while and he could only stammer in response, "Your Majesty... I really don't know what Zhong Yuanchang is going to do."

"It's just that... this guy's words are not to be trusted. He said that he was trying hard to prevent Your Majesty from having peace talks with Sima Yi. I'm afraid his motives are not pure!"

Cao Pi still remembered this.

But he said: "This is because Lord Yuan Chang does not know how to fight. His intention to suppress the rebellion is naturally good."

Xu Huang said, "Your Majesty! Lord Yuan Chang is always in Tongguan, so he is not ignorant of military affairs... I don't know why he keeps trying to stop Your Majesty in Hexi... Is he really ignorant of military affairs or what..."

Xu Huang's words finally made Cao Pi frown.

He took Zhong Yao's letter and read it over and over again.

He glanced at Xu Huang's serious face and finally nodded, "Well, let's not return to Yecheng for now and see what Yuan Chang is up to."

Cao Pi had not planned to go back in the first place, but now he had one more reason.

But Xu Huang said this because he wanted Cao Pi to go back and keep an eye on Zhong Yao!
Seeing that His Majesty's thoughts seemed to be somewhat different from his own, he hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, your gunshot wound... you should go back to Yecheng to have a look. Besides, you can also keep an eye on Zhong Yuanchang, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

However, no matter how Cao Pi calculated, he could not guess Zhong Yao's real purpose, which was just to cooperate with Xing Daorong and keep him here.

He made up his mind and said, "I have made up my mind. Let's see if Zhong Yao will reveal his true colors and frame a loyal and honest person!"

Cao Pi...thought that if Zhong Yao had rebellious intentions, he would disrupt the situation in Yecheng, frame others and cause chaos.

Xu Huang heard that the emperor did not take his words to heart, but had his own thoughts, so he finally stopped trying to persuade him.

Just looking at Cao Pi's appearance, it was as if he saw Cao Cao in the past who was constantly dealing with affairs and busy with all kinds of affairs. He couldn't help but said with concern: "Your Majesty, you'd better be careful about your health!"

Cao Pi was stunned, but when he saw Xu Huang's concerned look, he knew that he was concerned about him from the bottom of his heart, so he just nodded slowly without saying much.

The relationship between the leader and the general was going well, but someone soon arrived to break the atmosphere.

But someone outside the tent came running to report: "Your Majesty! The Han army is going to attack Luoyang again!"

...

When Xu Huang heard that Xing Daorong was going to attack Luoyang, he quickly prepared his troops and left.

Sure enough, when they arrived outside Luoyang, they saw Xing Daorong leading a large army, marching towards Luoyang in a mighty manner.

The flags fluttered, the drums of war roared, and the iron armor flashed a cold light in the sun. It was obviously not a feint attack.

As for Xing Daorong, he did not ride a Dilu, but a black warhorse, which made him look more majestic.

Wearing heavy armor, holding a long sword, with a sharp gaze, he looked straight ahead.

In the past few days, Luoyang City has also stepped up its fortification preparations. At this moment, the city gates are closed, and the defenders on the city walls are on high alert. Arrows are like forests, and rolling stones and logs are piled up like mountains.

He clearly saw Xu Huang at this moment, but he seemed not to care at all!
At Rong's command, the siege equipment slowly moved forward. The huge catapult made a dull roar, and stones hit the city wall like meteors, stirring up clouds of dust.

Ladders were set up, and soldiers rushed to the city wall like a tide, shouting and killing, and arrows rained down like locusts. The two sides actually started a brutal fight on the city wall!
