Ye Ya said softly: "Because your appearance disrupted Sima Bada's original arrangement, they were unable to grasp your life trajectory and considered you an uncontrollable variable, and all this was confirmed by your subsequent performance. .
Whether it is the powerful force on the Changban slope, the verbal battle with the Confucian scholars when seeking peace in Soochow, or the Yin soldiers borrowing arrows to summon the east wind before the Battle of Chibi, all of them show your power and mystery. Honesty He said, I even doubted whether your master Zuo Ci could do this, but you did it. "
Zhao Yi rubbed his chin and sighed: "Alas, this person can't be too good. Even if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. They are really envious, jealous and hateful. It doesn't matter. Since you said that the Killing House is divided into two factions, So let me make a quick guess that you came to me because you want to use my power to eradicate the radical faction of the Killing Yard and regain control of your organization in the hands of these heart-guarding factions."
Night Crow bit his lower lip, seeming to be struggling, and then said: "I am here not only on behalf of the Shouxin sect of the Killing House, but also on behalf of myself, asking General Zhonglang to save my father. My father was arrested by the Radical Sect. He was injured and had a strange poison in his body. Even the miracle doctor Hua Tuo was helpless. But I heard that General Zhonglang cured the strange disease of Sun Shangxiang of the Sun family in Jiangdong. His medical skills were superb. I can only place my hope on you. If Zhonglang General Lang can rescue my father, Ye Crow is willing to serve me, and I will never regret it in this life."
Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise. The little girl put her hands on her legs and actually gave him a big salute.
"The miracle doctor Hua Tuohua is helpless. Why do you think I can save your father?"
"You are a true immortal disciple. I dare to assert that before Zhonglang became a disciple of Zuo Ci, you already possessed the immortal skills. You can deceive others but you cannot deceive me. I also ask Zhonglang to help me. I, the Shouxin Sect of the Killing House, are always at my disposal. Sent, including me, Night Crow.”
Night Crow said as he put his head on the tabletop of the short machine, looking very sincere.
"It seems that my reputation as a disciple of the Immortal will not only bring trouble to myself, but also attract loyalists. A great reputation is indeed a double-edged sword...Ye Crow, let Ben Zhonglang now We will see how sincere you are."
Zhao Yi said and smiled, moved his body and leaned next to Ye Ya, getting very close.
Lu Lingqi, who was guarding outside the hospital, was worried about Zhao Yi's safety at first, so she always put her ear to the crack of the door, ready to rush in and take action at any time.
But as she listened, she heard some strange noises that made people blush. The general Zhonglang was indeed a disciple of the Immortal, and he captured him in just a short time.
"Sister, the baggage here has been taken care of. Where is the boss? I'll report to him."
Ma Liu ran up to Lu Lingqi in a very dogged manner and peered into the courtyard behind him, looking for Zhao Yi.
Lu Lingqi coughed awkwardly, raised her eyebrows, and shouted: "The lieutenant general is busy with business and has no time to see you! Get out!"
Lu Lingqi kicked Ma Liu in the butt. The latter rubbed it a little aggrievedly and muttered: "Just get out of here, why are you still hitting people? You are a little tempered today..."
I don’t know how long it took, but the wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open. Zhao Yi walked out with a swagger while picking his teeth and stretched.
"Well~~~ It's almost time to rest. Let's go and see the results of Ma Liu and the others. After loading the car, we can transport it back to my father-in-law."
Lu Lingqi lowered her head and quietly glanced into the yard, but didn't see anyone coming out, and then followed her unnaturally.
...
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister, please punish me!"
After being beaten to shame, Cao Ren fled back to Xuchang, tied himself into a rice dumpling, knelt in front of Cao Cao, and prayed for death.
Cao Cao sat on the couch, tapping the armrest with his fingers. His face was as dark as water, and it could be seen that he was in a very bad mood.
He glanced at Cao Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly: "Zixiao, why is this? Although Xiangyang was lost this time, it is not your fault. It is only Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei who are to blame for their devilish methods. , help the general up."
Two soldiers helped Cao Ren up, one on the left and the other on the right, but the latter still lowered his head, his chest almost bursting with regret and self-blame.
"Zixiao, you don't need to worry about Xiangyang for the time being. We need to appease the rear first. On Liu Bei's side, I will send Yuan Rang and Miaocai to lead an army of 20,000 to defend Xinye, dig trenches and build fortifications. Even if Zhao Yi gets wings, Don’t even think about flying over the city walls of Xinye again.
Over in Hefei, Wen Yuan and others defeated Sun Quan, which can be regarded as reducing some pressure on our army. What we have to do now is to recuperate and lick our wounds. The Sun-Liu alliance is like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time. I have reported to the court. , named Zhou Yu as the prefect of Nanjun, Huang Gai as the prefect of Guiyang, and Cheng Pu as the prefect of Changsha. In fact, these places are now in Liu Bei's hands, let them argue on their own. "
"Prime Minister! I..."
Cao Ren wanted to say something else, but Cao Cao waved his hand gently and said a little tiredly: "Go down, Zixiao, and have a good rest. Our focus now should be on the north. Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang saw that our army was defeated in Chibi." Just ready to make a move, the Gongsun family in Liaodong is also very restless. They must put out the fire in the backyard before they have enough energy to face the enemies outside the door. Go down, I'm tired."
Seeing Cao Cao closing his eyes, Cao Ren sighed heavily, then turned and left.
When he walked out of Cao Cao's mansion and passed through the corridor, he happened to see Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe coming towards him.
"Ouch~~ Isn't this General Cao? Why does he look like this? Come on, let Wen He untie you."
Jia Xu trotted over, untied Cao Rensong from his own arms, and asked with concern: "General, are you... going to plead guilty?"
Cao Ren looked ashamed and said: "Mr. Wenhe, you are a smart man. I will tell you the truth. I felt that I was unforgivable in losing Xiangyang this time, but the prime minister did not punish me, which made me even more uneasy. Could it be that we Shouldn't we gather all our troops and recapture Xiangyang while the enemy's foothold is still unstable?"
Jia Xu looked around, pulled Cao Ren to the corner, and whispered: "My general, the Prime Minister's thoughts are so obvious, can't you see it? Our army was newly defeated at Chibi, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and his like were defeated again. We are wavering in the northwest. If we continue to use troops against Sun and Liu, the empty defense will only allow those who are interested to take advantage. Moreover, the prime minister is old and lacks energy. Many of our soldiers are sick in this Chibi War. Now It’s time to recuperate, so how can we start fighting again? More importantly..."
"What's more important?"
Cao Ren suddenly became impatient when he saw the other party shut up after saying half-way.
"My general, and more importantly, the Prime Minister's sons, who will take over?"
After hearing this from Jia Xu, Cao Ren suddenly became enlightened and seemed to have figured out a lot of things.
Yes, he was just thinking about him abandoning Xiangyang, but he ignored a more serious problem. Cao Cao is old and lacks energy. What he is thinking about most now is who of his sons can succeed him. mantle.
