Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 517 Cao Zhi, Xun Yu

Following Yuan Xi's strong order, the commanders immediately took their sons back one after another, but they still stayed in the mansion in Yecheng. Yuan Ping and Zhuge Liang went to the Huagai Palace to plead guilty to Yuan Xi in person.

This incident also made Yuan Xi feel a little bit, that is the so-called rule by doing nothing, it is impossible, the king is the king, and the subjects are the subjects, it seems that they can be intimate, but there is always a gap in the middle, and this gap is the kingship.

Therefore, Yuan Xi once again ordered that all military operations of the commander-in-chief must be reported every five days. At the same time, Pang Tong ordered the commanders of the major armies to repeatedly educate the soldiers ideologically and clearly tell them that their allegiance There will always be only Yuan Xi alone, not any other generals or commanders.

After the second order was passed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the turmoil of sending the child as a hostage finally calmed down.

A few days later, Yuan Ping formally invited Yuan Xi in the Chaotian Palace, and set up a commander's mansion in Liyang, the ferry of the Yellow River, to manage the transfer of the major armies.

Yuan Xi agreed, and ordered that within three days, the commanders of the major armies and the accompanying military divisions would rush to various places immediately according to the plan of the commander's mansion.

On the night before leaving, Yuan Xi summoned Yuan Ping again.

"Congratulations, brother, we have added another son," Yuan Ping said happily. Just yesterday, Lu Lingqi gave birth to a son named Yuan Xian, and the royal family is adding another son.

"Haha." After Yuan Xi smiled, he said a little seriously: "Brother Ping, the other commanders have already returned to their bases to prepare. The food and grass for this battle have not yet been fully prepared. It is estimated that there will be one to two months. After you arrive in Liyang, We need to prepare the plan more carefully with Kong Ming, we must not miss this battle."

"Brother, don't worry, although the five countries are in an alliance, their current strength is only 31 to 14, and this time I, Dayan, mobilized 10 troops from Wen Shuai's First Army, 50 from the Second Brother's Army, and [-] from Yan Shuai's Third Army. Jiao Shuai's Fourth Army has [-] troops, Gao Shuai's Fifth Army has [-] troops, Ma Shuai's Seventh Army has [-] iron cavalry, Zhao Shuai's Eighth Army has [-] wind cavalry, and with the addition of [-] people from the Three Races and Eight Banners, the total force will reach [-]. He has a considerable military advantage over the five kingdoms, and my ministers will take Xuzhou and wipe out the Cao bandits in order to repay the king's kindness." Yuan Ping immediately bowed his hands firmly.

"Okay, all the siege weapons needed, such as the imperial pigeon, the sky cannon, the Lu Gong chariot, the eight-shooter crossbow, etc., have been actively prepared by Gudu, so don't be reluctant to use them. If you win this time, everything can come back." Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will live up to my mission." Yuan Ping immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Yuan Xi smiled, helped Yuan Ping up himself, and said softly: "You must also pay attention to safety, and you must not make any mistakes."

"Second brother, don't worry," Yuan Ping nodded heavily.

After the two chatted for a long time, Zheng Chun suddenly ran over and reported in a low voice: "My lord, Commander Linghu Jun of Jin Yiwei is asking to see you."

"Let him wait for a while" Yuan Xi waved his hand.

"promise!"

"Brother Ping, go back and have a good rest, set off as soon as possible, I won't see you off, and when your army returns victorious, I will go out of the city ten miles to meet you," Yuan Xirou said.

"Thank you, brother," Yuan Ping said gratefully.

After Yuan Ping left, Yuan Xi came to the Huagai Hall, and Linghu Jun, who was waiting inside, immediately saluted and shouted: "See you, Your Majesty!"

"There's no need to be too polite. It's so late. What's the matter with you?" Yuan Xi asked curiously after sitting down.

"My lord, after many efforts, Jin Yiwei has finally finalized the assassination plan for Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi," said Linghu Jun, clasping his fists.

"Cao Zhi..." Yuan Xi was surprised, and then doubted: "It's been less than two months since Jin Yiwei was formed, do you have the strength? If you startle the snake, it's not very good."

"I would like to report to Your Majesty, although Jin Yiwei was established for a short period of time, they are united as one and devoted their allegiance to His Majesty. During this period of time, Jin Yiwei has recruited many experts, one of whom is the descendant of the Black Ice Terrace who used to be the Secret Spy of the First Emperor. The poison is extremely terrifying, it is because he went deep into Changyi and discovered that Cao Zhi would often secretly get rid of the guards to meet a secret lover," Linghu Jun immediately explained.

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed when he heard this, and immediately nodded in satisfaction and said: "Okay, Jin Yiwei did not disappoint Gu. Cao Zhi, I will reward him generously"

"Thank you my lord" Linghu Jun thanked him.

"Cao Zhi is nothing. Although he has a superb literary talent and is famous all over the world, he is romantic and has too much wine, sex and poetry. He is not a big man. Except for him, you must target Cao Pi and Cao Chong, especially Cao Chong, it is said that he is extremely intelligent and has the air of being a father, so he must not stay," Yuan Xi said coldly.

"promise!"

Yuan Xi stood up slowly, walked in front of Linghu Jun, and said softly: "Gongzhi, remember one sentence, no matter what others say, as long as Gu believes in you, you will have endless rights and boundless wealth. Don't have any restraints, let go and do it"

"Thank you, Great King Long En, I will definitely take Cao Zhi's life in five days," Linghu Jun immediately said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, go" Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"

After Linghu Jun left, Yuan Xi said to Zheng Chun, "Go to the military commander and tell Zhang Nan that Cao Zhi has been selected by Jin Yiwei, so let them not interfere."

"No," Zheng Chun responded and withdrew.

Not long after, Zhang Nan saw off Zheng Chun with a smile outside the Yamen of the Military Command. However, when Zheng Chun just got in the car and left, Zhang Nan's face instantly turned ugly and frightening.

"Immediately pass down the order. If you want to know what preparations Jin Yiwei has made during this period, he was able to assassinate Cao Zhi." Zhang Nan said solemnly. In only two months, Jin Yiwei has such strength. The Cao Cao who exists is extremely strict in protecting his family.

"promise!"

"In addition, order the four evil spirits to get rid of Xun Yu in Yingchuan," Zhang Nan said suddenly in a cold tone.

"Commander, didn't you say that Xun Yu is a great talent, if possible, he should stay for the king" the subordinate next to him was suddenly surprised.

"I don't want to, but I need someone with enough weight to erase the merits of Jin Yiwei's assassination of Cao Zhi. The other three sons are still suffering. Only Xun Yu, although temporarily abandoned by Cao Cao, has great influence. Moreover, there is no need to keep someone like him who is so loyal to the Han family. You tell the other side, you must pretend that Cao Cao does not tolerate Xun Yu, and further mess up Cao Cao's rule, so that it will be effective," Zhang Nan instructed.

"promise!"

This is what happens every day, because Jin Yiwei's sudden attack, the military commander hastened to make amends, sometimes some great talents, some capable people, are not because the upper levels want to kill them, but because of the struggles at the bottom, so that they will not have the opportunity in the future to display their power. own talent.

In other words, this is the cruelty of troubled times. Many heroes are invincible on the battlefield, but they are no match for a cold arrow in the darkness.
