In Jinling City, the rumors of Sun Quan's assassination were gradually extinguished with the efforts of the Propaganda Department, and with the stability policies issued by the cabinet, the Central Army did not hesitate to mobilize a main division into the city, and the restless hearts have begun to gradually calm down.
The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.
The mansion is quiet.
In the study, Cao Chong sat in front of the bookcase, quietly looking at a book.
Compared with the naivety of a few years ago, today's Cao Chong is a few years older and has grown into a handsome young man, but because of a vicious disease left by the teenager, his health has not been very good.
Although because of Cao Zhang's matter, the entire Wei Guogong Mansion has been placed under house arrest, and there are Praetorian Guards inside and out, but Cao Chong's mood is quite calm, calm like the blue waves on the lake, and there is not a trace of ripples.
He was reading with peace of mind.
I was studying the state of mind of a person who was depicting in the Burrow, and saw if he could do it without hearing anything outside the window, and only reading the books of the sages.
"Grandpa Guo, Lord Zhong Xuan asks to see" But someone soon broke his quiet state of mind.
"He's here after all, let him in" In the study, Cao Chong heard the words, with a slight bitter smile, and then gently closed the book in his hand and said calmly.
He was not surprised by Zhong Xuan's arrival.
It's just a little late.
"No" The subordinates waiting outside the door quickly invited Zhong Xuan in the side hall.
"Cangshu" Zhong Miao strode into the study, looked at the pale young man sitting on the bookcase, and asked worriedly: "I went to the Tai Hospital just now, and I heard Zhang Zhongjing say that you vomited blood yesterday, how is your body?"
"Uncle Don't Be Surprised" Cao Chong heard Zhong Xuan's worry, his heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "It's just an old problem, not a fatal disaster."
Since his father's death, he has not felt this warmth for a long time.
"What does the hospital say?"
Zhong Xuan was still a little uneasy.
"They said, I was born with a vicious disease, it should have been a premature death, but in the end I survived tenaciously, it is lucky, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are already discussing treatment countermeasures, if you want to eradicate this disease, it should be difficult, but it can save me for twenty or thirty years."
Cao Chong said it very easily, as if this life did not belong to him.
He has not been in good health since he was a child, and he is not surprised that he will die suddenly that day.
"Heavenly jealous talent" Zhong Xuan heard this, his face was twisted, his fists were clenched, and he said with some sadness and indignation: "Now that Ming Gong is dead, why is God still so tricky of the suffering Cao family?"
Cao Zhang made such a big thing, if Cao Chong fell again at this time, then everything would be played.
"Uncle, life and death are fateful, don't mind" Cao Chong said lightly: "Life is life, maybe I have a life to live, but I won't live until then, the sky wants me to die in the third watch, how can I live to the fifth watch" The heaven he said was Sun Wu's day.
"Cangshu, are you blaming me?"
When Zhong Xuan heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Cao Chong's words, and sighed silently: "I sent Ziwen out of Jinling City, although Ziwen did something wrong, but he is the son of Ming Gong after all, I can't watch him die at the hands of Jinyiwei, if he enters Jinyiwei's prison, he will be completely finished."
"The world is big, only Sun Wu is the same" Cao Chong raised his head and looked at Zhong Xuan: "Even if my uncle sends him out of Jinling City, he will flee there, the prairie is still the Western Regions, even if he escapes, will he be able to live, not necessarily, and this will also put my uncle in, why do you bother?"
Their every move in Jinling City is watched by the spies of the Jinyi Guard, and this matter cannot be avoided sooner or later.
"Life and death are fateful, I only do what I think I should do" Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice: "Even if I do this wrong, I will accept my fate."
"Hey, since you're so persistent, then help me do one more thing."
Things have happened, Cao Chong doesn't want to punish this cabinet minister who is dedicated to the Cao family, all he can do at the moment is to try to save and create the best ending in the most difficult situation.
"Uncle, I have a few letters here, you help me send them out, one for Guo Fengxiao, one for Zhang He, and one for Sima Lang, by the way, there is also a book here, you help me hand it over, what is the future of Cao Zhang, it is no longer for me to deal with it, the only thing I can do now is to keep you and keep the Guanzhong Army."
Cao Chong handed Zhong Xuan a recital and several letters.
He has decided to enter the game as a person, and what happens in the future depends on the destiny of heaven.
"Cangshu, you want to resign from the title of Duke of Wei" Zhong Xuan didn't know that the letter was about the above, but he could see it clearly when he looked at the book.
It's not a good idea to move forward, whether it's a retreat or a genuine retreat.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion is the spiritual sustenance of Cao Wei's former ministers, if the Duke of Wei is lost, the people's hearts will really disperse.
"Uncle, don't be surprised, just do what I say."
The corners of Cao Chong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a bitter and somewhat helpless smile, and said: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, if the sky wants to kill my Cao family, I am also powerless, if the sky gives me a way to live, I should do my best to survive" "I see" Zhong Xuan looked at Cao Chong's struggle, and regretted sending Cao Zhang out with some regret in his heart, maybe Cao Chang is here, the situation is easier to deal with, at least there is a cushion, so as not to let Wei Guogong be cut off.
"Go ahead, by the way, you don't want to come to the Wei Mansion recently" Cao Chong said: "I don't want him Li Wenyou to seize an opportunity to cut you first and then play, his position is very heavy, Zhang Zhao is even optimistic about you, and he has the opportunity to sit in the position of the second assistant of the cabinet, but you have been stared at by him, he will definitely find a gap from you, in the future, you must be cautious in your actions and words, and you must not let him catch the handle" "What about you?"
"From today onwards, I will enter the palace and cut off all contact outside the palace."
"Entering the Palace" "The Marquis of Nanling thinks that my literary skills are not bad, and he has invited me into the palace before to read for the eldest prince."
"Why did the Marquis of Nanling invite you into the palace to accompany the eldest prince?"
Hearing this, Zhong Xuan frowned slightly.
Marquis of Nanling, Sun Zhongmou's younger brother, Sun Dong.

Sun Dong, Marquis of Nanling, Sun Shao, Marquis of Beijing, these two are hot people in Jinling City today, not only the objects supported by the Zongren Mansion, but also the more flamboyant people in the Sun royal family, and even comparable to the three young princes today.
"Who knows why," Cao Chong replied easily.
"Does Empress Cai know about this matter?"
"We should know that the demise of the Cao Wei Dynasty is already a fact, and instead of thinking about unrealistic thoughts of restoring the country every day, it is better to take root in the Great Wu Dynasty completely, and we should also bet" Cao Chong smiled indifferently, staring at a sharp light in his calm eyes.
"Bet on whether it is the Marquis of Nanling or the Great Prince" "Huh" Cao Chong smiled and didn't answer his question, but he already had the answer in his heart.
Yingzhou.
Yingchuan Academy.
Next to an idyllic lake, there is an elegant book pavilion.
"Ziwen, you have caused a big disaster this time, and the nine clans are in trouble" Xun Yu has gray hair, in the years in the academy, he is getting older and older, and his spirit is no longer the realm of the Great Wei Prime Minister of the year, his cloudy eyes stared at the young man kneeling in front of him, a little angry.
"Prime Minister, I am fighting for the Great Wei and the Cao family, what is wrong" Cao Zhang respects Xun Yu very much, but he is young and vigorous and does not want to admit his mistake.
"Because this is already Sun Wu's day" Xun Yu said coldly: "If you have not surrendered under this piece of the world, even if you fought to the death in the past, you are a hero, but you have surrendered, but you rebelled again, you are a traitor in the world" "Me" Cao Zhang gritted his teeth and had nothing to say.
"Ziwen, do you really think that your plan can kill him Sun Zhongmou," Xun Yu said sarcastically.
"He's not a god, I always have a chance," Cao said.
"Hmph" Xun Yu said coldly: "Okay, even if you kill Sun Quan, in the future, can you restore the Cao Wei Dynasty, can you regain the land of Guanzhong, who will listen to you in the future, Zhang Lu, or the Guanzhong family, they are just using it, saying that you are whimsical, you are lifting you, you are a disaster that brought Cao Wei to the grave, or was Your Majesty wise back then, in the end, the Cao family's heavy responsibility was placed on Cangshu, and you and Cao Zijian are not of great use."
Although he obeyed Cao Cao's will before, he didn't understand very well why Cao Cao chose Cao Chong, but now he understands that Cao Chong is indeed extraordinary.
"Cao Cangshu grovels to Sun Zhongmou, is he a hero?"
Cao Zhangyou was unwilling.
"The male of the husband can bend and stretch" Xun Yu glanced at him: "Cangshu can hold on to humiliation and bear arrogance, he is a hero, Zhong Xuan will listen to him, Zhang He will listen to him, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen will recognize him, Xiahou Ba They will respect him, even Guo Jia will agree with him, why do you fight with him" These old ministers of Cao Wei recognize only one Cao Cangshu.
"I just don't want my father's foundation to be ruined," Cao Zhang said quibly.
"In troubled times, there is no right or wrong" Xun Yu said: "Sun Wu won the world, that is Sun Wu's ability, Ming Gong lost Cao Wei, that is we have no luck, we can't blame anyone, such as today is too peaceful, anyone who wants to start a sword and soldier, the world will fight together, and there will be death."
"Could it be that our Cao Wei will surrender to this," Cao Zhang drank coldly.
"Long Surrendered" Xun Yu stared at him and said, "Do you know how many people will fall to the ground because of your recklessness, you only think about yourself, have you ever thought about Cao Wei's old ministers, if Your Majesty is still here, I will slap you today."
Cao Zhang's cold sweat was drenched suddenly, maybe he was really too impulsive, but he still had some expectations: "Prime Minister, maybe Zhang Lu and they can break through Chang'an" "If you break through Chang'an, can you kill Sun Quan?"
Xun Yu looked at the naïve Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang lowered his head and stopped talking, if he broke through Chang'an City, he might not be able to kill Sun Quan, if he couldn't kill Sun Quan, everything would be in vain.
"It's come to this, it's useless to talk more, you go down to rest first, don't go out of Yingchuan Academy, even if I go out of this life, I will save your life, just think it's my return to the grace of Ming Gong's acquaintance."
Xun Yu said a little tiredly.
"Xun Wenruo, can you really keep him?"
Cao Zhang didn't speak, and outside the Accord, a cold and murderous voice sounded leisurely.
Meridian Town, twenty miles away on the outskirts of Chang'an, is facing the exit of Meridian Road.
"I came out of here back then, the first Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, but I didn't expect to come back here today."
Sun Quan rode on the back of a tall lion dragon horse, his eyes looking down at this somewhat familiar town.
He didn't expect that one day he would be attacked from here.
It's ironic to say.
"Your Majesty, it's just a rebel army, why do you need to personally conquer" Lei Ding was a little worried, and said in a deep voice: "It's better for me to personally lead the army to snipe, you are the king of the court, the body of ten thousand gold, you can't take risks" "It's not the first time I've been on the battlefield" Sun Quan was as indifferent: "It's just a small battle, why take my life, today's battle, I should snipe it personally, you don't have to say anything, Zhang Lu killed my favorite general, I will definitely cut off his head with this fang" "No" Since Lei Ding couldn't persuade Sun Quan, he could only stare as hard as he could and be careful not to let Sun Quan be harmed.
"Your Majesty, the scout has come to report that the rebels have gone out of the plank road along the coast, and in half a day at most, the rebels will walk out of the meridian plank road and arrive at the meridian town" "Pass on my military orders" Sun Quan rode his horse and held a gun, and shouted: "All the soldiers of the army, immediately retreat three miles and prepare for battle" "No" The three thousand Praetorian Guards silently retreated three miles to the most suitable distance for the charge.
Above the quiet meridian town, there is a smell of impending wind and rain.
Da-da-da-da The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Zhang Lu's vanguard soldiers and horses walked out of the Meridian Plank Road and broke into the quiet Meridian Town.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Hanzhong peasant armies rushed out of the narrow meridian plank road one after another, and the winding mountain road made them feel a little tired.
"General Zhang Lu, the soldiers are tired and need to rest for a day," Chen Qun said.
"A day off" Zhang Lu was a little worried: "It's not far from Chang'an here, if Sun Zhongmou from Chang'an City finds out, won't he have time to escape?"
He was not worried about whether he could break through Chang'an.
As far as he knew, there were 3,000 Praetorian Guards in Chang'an City.
He has 1,000 Thunder Guards, enough to break 3,000 Praetorian Guards, and it is not difficult to break through the city, the difficult thing is to let Sun Quan escape, if Sun Quan runs away, then they will have lost all their efforts.
"General Zhang Lu, as long as we are careful, we should be able to hide it" Chen Qun said: "Look at the sons under your command, most of them are young and strong, and it is good to be able to walk out of such a difficult journey as the meridian plank road, if you attack Chang'an immediately, you will inevitably suffer a backlash, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Okay" Zhang Luhuan looked at it, indeed, the sons and daughters under his command were all in low spirits, and he also knew that it was not appropriate to fight in a hurry at this time.
Just as the army began to encamp, a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared from the north.
"Sons of the Praetorian Guard, charge with me and kill" Sun Quan took the lead, and his momentum was like a rainbow.
"Kill" "Kill" The Praetorian Guard was originally the elite of the elite, each of them was composed of veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the charging trend formed by them was like a shocking wave rushing over.
"There are ambushes" "Not good" "Fast Array" Zhang Lu and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly gathered troops to line up, wanting to block this round of cavalry offensive.
But it's too late.
"Zhang Lu, if I don't kill you, I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart" Sun Quan rushed in in the blink of an eye, his martial arts had already entered the realm of Qi training, and his marksmanship was inherited to Zhao Zilong's Seven Probes Snake, opening the bow left and right, as sharp as lightning.
"Sun Zhongmou" Zhang Lu was shocked, but there was also a hint of ecstasy: "I didn't expect your life to be so big, but since you sent it to the door today, I will personally send you to see Cao Mengde."
He rolled over and rode his horse to kill.
"Thief, eat me with a spear" Lei Ding naturally wouldn't let Sun Quan confront Zhang Lu, he didn't say a word, and took the lead in killing.
Bell, bell, bell After three moves in a row, Lei Ding retreated step by step.
His skills are not as good as Zhang Lu, although he can use the momentum of the soldiers on the battlefield to improve his combat effectiveness, but the difference between their skills is too great, and he was repelled by Zhang Lu after all.
"Kill" Sun Quan didn't say a word, and the white tiger spear struck out violently.
"Chop" Zhang Lu was overjoyed, with a sword in the air, he repelled Sun Quan's spear, deceived himself and killed, and shouted: "Sun Zhongmou, today is your death taboo" clang Beside Sun Quan, a soldier dressed in a guard's uniform greeted him, his long sword was like a rainbow, and the sword was splashing, blocking the sword.
"Wang Yue" "Zhang Lu, you are still obediently punished" Wang Yue's name as a sword saint, how can it be child's play, his swordsmanship is like a god, and he can kill the world by fighting ten meters with a sword.
"Sons, step back a hundred meters and wait in formation" Although Zhang Lu was entangled, there was still a Chen Qun in Zhang Lu's army, Chen Qun made a quick decision, commanded the soldiers to retreat continuously, used space in exchange for time, and formed a formation.
"Kill" "Damn thief, kill my brother, I'll kill you" "Anti-me Da Wu, be punished" "Kill Wu Dog and restore the glory of my Great Wei" In the meridian town, the big war broke out suddenly, and there was a tragic battle everywhere.
This battle lasted for three hours.
In the end, Sun Quan saw that Zhang Lu and the others had gained a firm foothold, and it was not suitable for the Praetorian Guards to fight again, so they had to collect their troops and return to Chang'an City.
The results of this battle were brilliant.
With 3,000 against 12,000 soldiers, the gap is four times, but the Praetorian Guard only sacrificed 300 soldiers, but it obtained the result of killing 3,000 enemies, exchanging one for ten, and then retreating safely, it is definitely a classic ambush battle. t1706231537:
