Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest!

Xiaopei.

This place is closer to Chen State than Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, etc.

Therefore, Liu Bei, the herdsman of Yuzhou who was stationed in Xiaopei, was the first to learn of the changes in Chen State besides Cao Cao of Xudu.

At this moment, Liu Bei's face showed a bit of solemnity in shock:"Yuan Shu sent Zhang Kai to lead an army of five thousand to attack Chen State. Zhang Kai mixed his soldiers among the refugees and successfully assassinated King Chen!

What a bold act. Dare to assassinate the Han clan!"

Liu Bei looked angry and condemned Yuan Shu and Zhang Kai in front of everyone under his command.

In fact, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in chaos, and countless members of the Han clan have died all over the world.

Many counties were attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and many princes died at the hands of the Yellow Turban.

Even the emperor once lived in the wilderness, and his ministers were devoured by hungry rebel soldiers.

Liu Yu, the most prestigious person in the clan at the time, was killed by Liu Bei's younger brother Gongsun Zan.

Now that King Chen, Liu Chong, and a vassal king are killed, what does it matter?

Of course Liu Bei knew all this, but he had always lived as a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, when King Chen was assassinated, he had to take a stand and express his condemnation of Yuan Shu.

Of course, Liu Bei was indeed very angry with Yuan Shu. What was angry was not that Yuan Shu sent Zhang Kai to attack Chen State, but that the people Yuan Shu sent were too incompetent and failed!

As a result, the entire army was wiped out, and Chen Guo also fell into the hands of Cao Ang!

If Chen Guo was acquired by Yuan Shu, Liu Bei would not be too angry.

Because he looked down on Yuan Shu's withered bones in the tomb, even if Chen Guo was obtained by Yuan Shu, it would only be to exploit some taxes at most.

When Liu Bei accumulates a certain amount of strength, recaptures Xuzhou and escapes Cao Cao's control, he may be able to wrest Chen from Yuan Shu.

But now that King Chen is dead, Yuan Shu has not benefited, but has benefited Cao Ang!

Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao. Cao Ang's victory over Chen State is equivalent to Cao Cao's power becoming stronger.

This made Liu Bei, who had been relying on Cao Cao for survival for the time being, feel an even greater sense of crisis.

His attachment to Cao Cao was only temporary.

The more powerful Cao Cao becomes, the more difficult it will be for Liu Bei to get rid of Cao Cao in the future!

"This Cao Ang is really lucky.

Yuan Shu killed King Chen's family for him, but let Cao Ang Bai pick up a Chen family!"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, thinking that Cao Ang was simply lucky.

But when these words fell into Liu Bei's ears, Liu Bei's heart moved.

Although Zhang Fei is sometimes reckless, he also sometimes makes mistakes.

For example, that sentence , Yuan Shu killed King Chen's family on behalf of Cao Ang, and let Cao Ang pick up Chen Guo in vain...

This sentence made Liu Bei's eyes flicker, and he sighed meaningfully:"If Cao Ang is really lucky, he deserves it.

If there is something else hidden, then Cao Ang's scheme is really terrifying!"

The implication of Liu Bei's words is to guess whether Cao Ang did it on purpose, whether he let Yuan Shu, the mantis, catch the cicada of King Chen, and then the oriole followed behind, giving away Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses and King Chen's foundation. Swallowed...

However, Liu Bei only had a guess.

To be fair, he felt that the possibility was too low.

Ruyang was not far from Chen State, but it was not too close, at least in terms of time. Even if Cao Ang knew that Zhang Kai was attacking Chen State, it would be too late to go there.

After all, one day from Ruyang to Chen State was enough time for Zhang Kai to capture Chen State.

However, Yuan Shu sent Zhang Kai to attack Chen State this time. Not only did

Liu Bei not believe his guess, but Guan Yu also said:"I think Cao Ang is a loyal person.

When Tian Feng went to Xudu as an envoy, Cao Ang did not lose his filial piety and benevolence, which impressed Tian Feng.

This time about the Chen State incident, Cao Ang happened to go to Chen State to get food and met him.

The reason is that Chen Wang Liu Chong was very competitive, so he went to Ruyang to compete with Cao Ang in arrows, and lost ten thousand stones of food and grass to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang happened to encounter Zhang Kai who assassinated King Chen and captured Chen County. At the request of Chen Prime Minister Luo Jun, he helped out.

Afterwards, Luo Jun offered the Chen State to Cao Ang because the Chen State had no owner, but Cao Ang repeatedly refused.

Cao Ang didn't accept it until Luo Jun threatened his life.

Acting like this is as open and aboveboard as the eldest brother's three words to let Xuzhou go, and there should be no hidden secrets."

In his life, Guan Yu valued loyalty the most, and he respected loyal people the most.

Even if the person was from the enemy camp.

Therefore, Guan Yu said this after hearing the ins and outs of Chen Guo's affairs. In this era, there are of course many intrigues and intrigues. Although there are many people like Guan Yu who value loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, why does Cao Ang want to create a character of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness?

At this moment, Guan Yu's sensory evaluation of Cao Ang, even comparing Cao Ang to Liu Bei's three words of Xuzhou, is enough to explain everything.!

Get the recognition of loyal people first, and then have the opportunity to make these loyal people loyal in the future!

"If it were Cao Ang's luck, I wouldn't envy him."

Liu Bei did not refute or agree with Guan Yu's words about Cao Ang. He just sighed.

As for whether Cao Ang is truly loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, Liu Bei neither denies nor affirms it. After all, at this time, Liu Bei has already learned about Wancheng. , Cao Ang used a trick to defraud Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.

Liu Bei felt that Cao Ang was not really a pedantic person!

Therefore, Liu Bei instinctively felt that Cao Ang might have something wrong with taking over the Chen Kingdom. A well-known conspiracy...

At this moment, Liu Bei felt more and more that he lacked an adviser who could discuss major world affairs.

If there was such an adviser, Liu Bei felt that he would have someone to discuss many things with, instead of Yunli now. In the fog, I can only rely on guessing.

When he thought of this, Liu Bei became more and more envious of Cao Cao. He envied Cao Cao for having so many top counselors, and Cao Ang, the son of Qilin

, made Liu Bei envious. Quite.

After all, Chen Guo is much richer and more powerful than Liu Bei's Xiaopei.

If Liu Bei had Chen Guo as his foundation, it wouldn't be as difficult as it is now!

……

Nanyang County, Wancheng

"hateful!

I haven't gone to Ruyang to seek revenge from Cao Ang, but Cao Ang has already taken over the Chen Kingdom!

It will be difficult to avenge the revenge plotted by Cao Ang that day!

Yuan Shu's subordinate Zhang Kai is also a waste. He has already assassinated King Chen and entered the Chen Kingdom, but he was still destroyed by Cao Ang!"

Zhang Xiu patted the table angrily and said through gritted teeth.

Not long ago, Zhang Xiu got news that Cao Ang led a thousand troops to farm in Ruyang.

At that time, Zhang Xiu already had the idea of taking the opportunity to take revenge.

Therefore, after Zhang Xiu discussed with Jia Xu, he returned from Rangcheng in the rear to Wancheng, which was closer to Cao Cao's forces.

From Wancheng to Ruyang, it was about four hundred miles away and could be reached in three to five days..

Here, Zhang Xiu waited and watched for a few days, and at the same time sent spies to further inquire about Cao Ang's presence in Ruyang. In the past two days, Zhang Xiu also confirmed that Cao Ang was in Ruyang, so Zhang Xiu prepared to send troops.

They attacked Ruyang and sought revenge from Cao Ang.

However, considering Cao Ang's previous tricks, he followed Jia Xu's suggestion and observed for two more days.

As a result, after two days of observation, Cao Ang took over before Zhang Xiu could send troops to attack Ruyang. Chen Guo!

This time, Cao Ang not only obtained Chen Guo's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, thousands of crossbows and Chen Guo's many years of savings, but also captured Yuan Shu's 4,000 men! In addition, Cao Ang had 2,000 men. The troops mobilized are nearly

20,000 troops!

This strength is stronger than that of many local princes.

Even if Cao Ang is not Cao Cao's son, he is enough to separate one side from another!

The number of troops is only seven to eight thousand more than Cao Ang, about thirty thousand!

If Cao Ang only has two thousand troops in Ruyang, Zhang Xiu is confident enough to trap Cao Ang to death in Ruyang (see). For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network! )

Now that Cao Ang has won Chen Guo, his strength has increased several times, which is not much worse than Zhang Xiu's. He also has enough food and grass support from Chen Guo.

What can Zhang Xiu do? Beat Cao Ang?

Therefore, Zhang Xiu could be said to be furious and regretful at this moment! Jia Xu, on the other hand, was much calmer than Zhang Xiu, who was blinded by hatred.

He said:"Lord, please calm down. I think that even if Cao Ang does not take over the Chen Kingdom, we cannot attack Cao Ang.

According to the information from our army, Cao Ang came to Ruyang to farm, and he only brought a thousand soldiers and horses with him, and there were no other generals around him.

But when Cao Ang assisted Luo Jun in Chen Guo to pacify Zhang Kai, he had two more generals, Dian Wei and Cao Hong, by his side.

Dian Wei and Cao Hong couldn't have appeared out of thin air. This means that these two generals have always been by Cao Ang's side!

If the lord leads an army to attack Ruyang, and Cao Ang defends it with two thousand soldiers, and there are two generals, Dian Wei and Cao Ang, he may not be able to capture Ruyang in a short time.

As time goes by, Cao Cao from Xudu, Xia Houyuan from Wuyang, and Li Tong from Yang'an will come to help from three sides, and they may surround our army under Ruyang City.……"

At this point, Jia Xu sighed with some hindsight:"When I learned that Cao Ang only brought a thousand troops to Ruyang, I felt something was wrong.

Cao Cao valued Cao Ang so much, why did he only send this small number of troops? There is no general to escort him.

This move is too obvious, just like a bait.

Now that Dian Wei Cao Hong appears in Chen State, it is enough to explain everything!

If anyone thinks that Cao Ang is easy to bully in Ruyang, it will be easy to attack. Big loss!"[]

When Zhang Xiu heard what Jia Xu said, he thought of how Dian Wei and Cao Hong were accompanying Cao Cao when they were in Wancheng that day, looking so brave, and couldn't help but tremble.

"Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son are really more cunning than the other!

If Wen He hadn't asked me to observe for two more days, I'm afraid that the one killed by Cao Ang at this moment would not only be Zhang Kai, but also me, Zhang Xiu!"

After Zhang Xiu calmed down, he said with a little fright.

As for Jia Xu, when he heard Zhang Xiu mention Zhang Kai, his heart moved, and he thought of something sharply:"That's not right!

If Cao Ang really went to Ruyang to farm, he could have brought more troops and exposed Cao Hong of Dianwei.

If Cao Ang wanted to use himself as bait to lure his lord to send troops, he should not be in Ruyang, but should be closer to Nanyang to be more confident that his lord would take action.

So I guess Cao Ang’s intention of hiding the existence of Dian Wei and Cao Hong was not to deal with the lord, but for something else!

Combined with the fact that Cao Ang went to Ruyang to farm on the border of Chen State, and when Yuan Shu sent Zhang Kai to sneak attack Chen State, he went to Chen State to ask for food.……"

At this point, Jia Xu's originally slightly calm expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air:"Suppose that the reason why Cao Ang came to Ruyang in the first place was for Chen Guo. Or beware of someone attacking Chen Guo, that would be... terrible!"

Jia Xu is definitely the most intelligent person in the world.

Even though he was not completely sure that Cao Ang's purpose in coming to Ruyang was to be wary of someone attacking Chen Guo, he still felt that he was probably right!

This is an intuition, an intuition that belongs only to the smartest people in the world!

It is precisely because of this that Jia Xu said it was terrible.

Because even Jia Xu never expected that Yuan Shu would attack Chen Guo without any warning!

Therefore, if Cao Ang had already taken a step ahead of Jia Xu and was on guard, he went to Ruyang to farm on the border of Chen State, waiting for the opportunity for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind...

Then Cao Ang's layout and scheming, as well as predicting the enemy Yu Xian's wisdom was enough to make Jia Xu feel a chill down his back!

If this is the case, then Jia Xu can only call Cao Ang a monster!

".When the Han Dynasty was weak, all the heroes in the world rose up.

First, there was Cao Cao, who held the emperor hostage to order the princes, and then there was a wicked son like Cao Ang, who took advantage of all the benefits in the name of benevolence and righteousness...

Could it be that the Han Dynasty will eventually be replaced by the Cao family and his son?……"

Jia Xu said to himself, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

It seems that they have forgotten that after Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, the Han Dynasty also regained hope.

At that time, Jia Xu made a plan to cause Li Jue and Guo Si to cause chaos in Chang'an and cut off the hope of the final revival of the Han Dynasty...

The initiator who personally destroyed the final chance of the Han Dynasty's revival was now speculating about the fate of the Cao family and his son. To replace the Han Dynasty, it is indeed a bit speechless...

As for Zhang Xiu, listening to Jia Xu's soliloquy, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and in the end he was dumbfounded...

At this moment, Zhang Xiu He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking about whether he should avenge his revenge...

If the Cao family and his son were really going to replace the Han Dynasty and become the new emperor, then Zhang Xiu was now shouting and killing the future lord of the world. , clamoring for revenge, isn’t it asking for death?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but secretly advise himself, otherwise he would not avenge himself?

Anyway, it was just because my aunt was humiliated in the first place. She was just an aunt, and she was not my biological mother. At worst, the Zou family was removed from the family tree and the uncle was given a wife.

Zou is no longer his uncle’s wife, so there is no such thing as being cuckolded.……

……

Huainan, Shouchun.

Zhang Xiu's anger that had just subsided seemed to have been transferred to Yuan Shu.

And Yuan Shu's anger was even worse than Zhang Xiu!

"Cao Ang, Cao Ang again!

Isn't this Cao Ang working in Ruyang?

Why did he appear in Chen country!"

"Is Zhang Kai a waste?

I gave him five thousand soldiers and horses, but Cao Ang only had two thousand men. Even if five thousand pigs charged together, they could still defeat Cao Ang's two thousand men!

King Chen has been killed and the vanguards have entered the city. How could Cao Ang get in his way?)！"

"hateful! shameful! Hateful!

Chen Guo's money and food savings were not obtained, and five thousand of my soldiers and horses were lost!

Cao Ang is so stupid, I can't wait to cut him into pieces!"

Above the main hall of Zhong's court, Yuan Shu, wearing the emperor's crown, roared crazily, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes.

He was originally full of joy, waiting for Zhang Kai's victory over Chen Guo, and had heard about Zhang Kai in advance. Kai's plan was so ingenious that it was sure to succeed.

However, the news came that Zhang Kai's entire army had been destroyed by Cao Ang, and that Chen State had also fallen into Cao Ang's hands.

This made His Majesty the Zhong family. Furious and incompetent, he was constantly jumping around in the hall at this moment...

Above the hall, the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to speak when facing the furious Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Yan Xiang, who had previously opposed Yuan Shu's sneak attack on Chen Guo, suddenly burst out. He said with a serious face:"Your Majesty, don't forget that in addition to Zhang Kai and his five thousand troops, Your Majesty also lost tens of thousands of people in Runan. As refugees, they have become the people of Chen State.……"

It's okay that Yan Xiang didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Yuan Shu became even more angry. He was so depressed that he spit out a big mouthful of blood...

Suddenly, the hall was in chaos. The young man looked at Yan Xiang helplessly, feeling respectful and helpless towards the former lord's number one adviser.

I know you are loyal and upright, but you can't be so upright. Your Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood...

Everyone pinched the one who poured honey out of them, and finally Yuan Shu woke up from the torment.

"Order troops! Order troops!

I want to personally conquer the Chen Kingdom and destroy that arrogant Cao Ang!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu's first words after waking up were to ask for troops to fight in person, the ministers who had just been silent couldn't sit still anymore, and they warned again:"Your Majesty, calm down!

It is too late to send troops now!"

"Your Majesty, Cao Ang has captured Chen State and has Cao Cao's support. If he rushes into the army rashly, he has no chance of winning!

The advice of the ministers did not change Yuan Shu's anger about sending troops:"My family is not enough, I still have allies!"

Last year, I made a marriage agreement with Xuzhou Lu Bu for our children!

I will send an envoy to Nacai and ask Lu Bu to send troops together to attack Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son!".
