The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 563: Quickly

"Treason!"

"Lu Kang is rebelling!"

When the scout brought the news from the front line to Jianye, Zhang Bu was trembling all over.

What he got was certainly not the news that the Wei army had voluntarily given up the occupied territory. What he got was the news that Lu Kang asked to switch from defense to offense, abandon defense and attack with all his strength.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Bu was shocked.

Although Zhang Bu looked down on Guanqiu Jian, he still knew about the war.

In fact, he had a clear view of the current situation, and in his opinion, Lu Kang's plan to send troops was tantamount to seeking death.

The Wei army was so powerful in land warfare that they even destroyed the Shu Kingdom. How dare you take the initiative to attack when we are completely at a disadvantage?

The only explanation he could think of was that Lu Kang had completely given up.

He was venting his dissatisfaction and completely gave up on defense, wanting to send the defense line out directly.

Zhang Bu could no longer sit still. He got into the carriage trembling. Thinking of the situation where the Wei army surrounded Jianye, his hands shook even more violently.

Is it possible that Lu Kang has already surrendered to the Wei people?

He was not even willing to obey the orders of the temple, but just informed the temple.

Treason, treason!!

When Zhang Bu arrived at the palace trembling, Sun Xiu was not alone. There was someone sitting next to him, patiently explaining something.

This person is Lu Kai.

When he saw this person, Zhang Bu couldn't help but frown.

How dare you come here?
He paid his respects to the emperor, then sat next to Sun Xiu, staring at Lu Kai angrily.

However, Lu Kai didn't even look at him. He saluted Sun Xiu again and left.

"Your Majesty, Lu Kang has rebelled!"

Zhang Bu's voice was trembling, but Sun Xiu was very calm. "Mr. Zhang, I just saw Lu Kang's letter. How could he rebel?"

"He led the army into battle without even consulting the imperial court. Furthermore, the situation in southern Jing is dire. Doesn't his leading the army now signify rebellion? Even if it's not rebellion, it's the end of the army."

Zhang Bu expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, please send your trusted confidants to Jingnan to arrest Lu Kang. We cannot let him make such a big mistake!"

After listening to Zhang Bu's words, Sun Xiu really wanted to scold him.

His face immediately darkened.

"Zhang Qing, does this expedition constitute rebellion? Previously, when Wei Miao and the others were defending, you said they were incompetent. Now that Lu Kang wants to go on the expedition, you say they are planning a rebellion."

"Is it possible that there are no other loyal and righteous people in the Wu Kingdom besides you?"

Zhang Bu was horrified when he heard the emperor's question. He quickly said in defense, "Your Majesty, that is not what I meant."

Sun Xiu said unhappily, "With foreign invaders at our doorstep, even if there's any discord, we shouldn't start it now!"

"From today on, if you continue to speak ill of these generals and say things that disrupt the morale of the army, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between the king and his subjects!"

These words were extremely harsh. Zhang Bu was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak.

Sun Xiu wanted to say something, but suddenly he started coughing. Zhang Bu raised his head and saw Sun Xiu's flushed face. He coughed for a long time before he gasped for breath.

"Just go ahead, it's nothing serious, don't bother me anymore!"

"only"

Zhang Bu lowered his head and slowly walked out.

After walking out of here, Zhang Bu's mind was still filled with the image of Sun Xiu gasping for breath.

Although Sun Xiu liked hunting and was good at archery, his health was not very good.

He has a severe cough. Whenever he overexerts himself or is tired, he will cough for a long time, and no medicine can stop him.

Zhang Bu vaguely felt that this emperor would not last long.

The emperor's children were still very young. Thinking of this, Zhang Bu was filled with infinite motivation.

Jianye was not peaceful at the moment. The Wei army's offensive was approaching here, and they were fighting on the river.

The State of Wu adopted a defensive posture and did not attack. Facing the Wei people's temptation, Wei Miao always chose to hold his ground. Guanqiu Jian's army could only wander outside the river, watching the other side continue to strengthen their defense line.

Tang Zi was stunned when he saw the enemy's actions.

He felt that his former colleagues must be crazy.

Iron chains across the river, iron spikes standing in the river. This is no different from blocking the city gates. Has he decided that he will never go out again?

How will you transport food and other things in the future? By land?

Go crazy! !

It can be seen that the State of Wu was forced into a desperate situation, otherwise it would not have adopted such a strategy.

There was no major breakthrough in the situation here with Guanqiu Jian, and Wang Ji was constantly shrinking due to the attacks. Only Wen Qin could open up the situation in Jiaozhou, but this seemed to be of no use, and he did not dare to advance rashly.

At this point in the war, Wang Ji decided to withdraw his troops. The benefits Wei had gained from this battle were substantial enough, and if they wanted to achieve a greater breakthrough, they would have to wait until the next battle.

As the Wei army stopped expanding in various places in southern Jing, the war between Wu and Wei gradually calmed down. Lu Kang regained many areas in southern Jing. The forces of both sides in southern Jing were twisted and entangled, and the western areas of Jiaozhou almost all fell.

Fortunately, Lu Qin transferred important population, food and other resources in time, so the State of Wu was able to continue to hold on.

The war in the south did not affect the internal situation of Wei.

The Wei State was still in a happy mood at this moment, and the war did not have much impact on the Central Plains region.

Even the ministers in the court did not care much about the situation over there. It was different in Wu. Cao Mao liked to give the initiative to the generals and let them fight on their own. He did not like remote control.

At this moment, Cao Mao was sitting in Wang Su's mansion, greeting him.

Wang Su actually looked fine and didn't look like someone seriously ill, but Huangfu Mi said that his condition was very dangerous.

This made Cao Mao quite worried, and he came to check the situation several times.

Wang Su is still very important to Cao Mao at present, and his Wangxue is the most critical weapon Cao Mao uses to transform current thinking.

If Wang Su fell, Wang Xue would probably have to stop moving forward.

After Wang Su, the next person who could be called a scholar was Du Yu, but Du Yu was not as flexible as Wang Su.

Cao Mao himself had some talent, but it was not realistic for him to devote all his energy to the study of classics.

Looking at Cao Mao's worried face, Wang Su was moved but also felt that it was unnecessary.

"Your Majesty, I am in excellent health. Don't worry. Although Huangfu Mi is proficient in medicine, a fortune teller once said..."

Cao Mao did not interrupt or refute the other party.

With such confidence, perhaps you can get better faster.

At this moment, Cao Mao looked at the boys kneeling opposite them.

Cao Qi was so frightened that his head almost retracted into his chest. Guo Ping smiled at Cao Mao, Liu Yuan looked at Cao Mao curiously, and Sima You looked a little uneasy.

Cao Mao looked at the guys in front of him.

He suddenly asked, "How are these people doing academically?"

Wang Su glanced at them and said, "Sima You did the best. Liu Yuan lacked talent, but he was willing to work hard. As for the other two, I'm afraid they will disappoint Your Majesty's high hopes."

Cao Qi and others were shocked. Wang Su seemed to be indifferent on weekdays, but unexpectedly, he knew the situation of each of them.

Cao Mao nodded and said, "Then let Sima You and Liu Yuan continue to stay here."

"Since you don't have the talent to learn the classics, then don't waste your time here."

Wang Su laughed, "Your Majesty, are you planning to let them learn the art of war?"

Cao Mao didn't say anything more about them, but just asked seriously about Wang Xue's recent progress.

The two chatted for a long time, and when it was time to leave, Cao Mao signaled the two boys to follow him and leave together.

Cao Qi looked very scared. As soon as he walked out of the mansion, he explained: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that the classics are too difficult."

Cao Mao glanced at them and said, "No need to say more. If you can't learn literature, then learn martial arts."

“There has to be something you can do.”

At this moment, Cao Mao suddenly asked, "What do you think of Sima You and Liu Yuan?"

Guo Ping smiled and said, "Father, Sima You is intelligent, and Liu Yuan is diligent."

Cao Qi hesitated to speak.

"Qi, what do you think?"

"Brother, I don't think either Sima You or Liu Yuan are worthy of being trusted. Sima You never talks about his family, which clearly shows he holds a grudge against his father. And Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu native, came to Luoyang from that remote land and never thought about going out to play. He studies diligently all day. If he were to return to the Xiongnu, it would be truly terrifying!"

Cao Mao suddenly felt that his stupid brother was not that stupid.

At least, at this age, he can already have his own ideas.

Compared with Guo Ping, Guo Ping is completely unable to do it, perhaps because he is still young.

Cao Mao pondered for a moment before saying, "Ping, I'll send you a letter later. You can go and learn the art of war from Chen Qian."

"only!!"

Cao Qi looked at Cao Mao curiously, "Brother, what about me?"

"Why don't you just go to the Imperial College and make more friends there and learn how to get along with others."

Cao Qi didn't know why his brother made such arrangements, but he didn't dare to refuse.

Cao Mao dropped the two people off at the gate of the imperial palace and then headed towards the Taiji Hall.

Although Wang Su repeatedly said that there was nothing wrong with him, Cao Mao still believed more in the opinions of the imperial physician, Huangfu Mi and others. Besides, Wang Su was indeed old, and the academic and ideological rectification work had to be completed as soon as possible while he was still alive.

We must make Wang's school of thought the official school of thought in the temple and let Wang's school of thought replace other schools of thought. If we delay any further, when Wang Su is gone, there will be no one to serve as our pioneer.

The first thing to do is to deal with those guys in the bamboo forest!!
I need a group of obedient celebrities. If this group doesn't obey, I will create a new one! !
