Cao Hua panicked a little.
Zhu Zhongguo will definitely not act without aim. He also specifically named Cao. Could it be! ! ! ! !
The roots of troubles?
Many plots and plots appeared uncontrollably in Cao Hua's mind, and in the end they all pointed to the same place.
Could it be that Zhu Zhongguo loved the Cao family?
This is how to do?
The accompanying staff member Chang Congfeng had a flash of light in his eyes, revealing a thoughtful look.
Cao Hua took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, looked up at Zhu Zhongguo, and said in a deep voice: "It is true."
This matter cannot be hidden.
If his guess is correct. Then it depends on whether Zhu Zhongguo is a lover or not, and he will become a beauty in anger.
Cao Hua stared at Zhu Zhongguo's face, observing the changes in his expression. But surprisingly, he found that Zhu Zhongguo's expression did not change at all.
Not to mention an extreme reaction.
"Did I guess wrong? But if it's not what I thought, then why did he specifically mention the Cao family?" Cao Hua was confused.
"I understand what the emperor means. Please reply to the emperor, Mr. Cao. I still have to think about it." Zhu Zhongguo stopped talking about the Cao family and turned back to national affairs.
Cao Hua frowned, was he just a wallflower?
Cao Hua was very impatient, but he did not dare to push too hard. He just took a deep look at Zhu Zhongguo and said, "What the general means. I understand."
"But I still say the same thing. The emperor will not have too much patience."
"Yeah." Zhu Zhongguo hummed. Then he sent someone to Guanyi, intending to let Cao Hua stay for one day before leaving. But Cao Hua was impatient, so he didn't stay and left immediately.
Chang Congfeng looked at Cao Hua's leaving figure, then turned to look at Zhu Zhongguo, and finally couldn't help but ask: "General, what are you thinking in your heart? Please tell your subordinates everything, so that they can understand A mental preparation.”
Zhu Zhongguo laughed and said, "Congfeng. You finally couldn't help it anymore."
Chang Congfeng rolled his eyes, this general. Still joking.
After Zhu Zhongguo laughed, he did not answer Chang Congfeng's question. Instead, he asked: "Congfeng. What do you think of me becoming the king of Shanxi between Chu and Han?"
Chang Congfeng immediately spun around and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. But he quickly realized that this was Zhu Zhongguo's joke. After calming down, he said angrily: "Excuse me. If the general becomes king in Taiyuan, it will not take a few days. My head and the general's head will be far away from Handu and hung on the city gate for public display."
"That's right." Zhu Zhongguo nodded, then stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and said: "It's true that I, Zhu Zhongguo, have strong soldiers and horses. But after leaving Taiyuan, who will recognize me?" "
"If I have unrealistic ambitions and become king in Taiyuan, the end will be miserable. Since I can't become king, I can only choose between Han and Chu."
"It's stupid to be a faggot."
Chang Congfeng nodded happily, the general still understood the truth. But he soon became irritable again. Since you know everything, why do you still want to be a wallflower?
Zhu Zhongguo looked at Chang Congfeng, as if he was a roundworm in Chang Congfeng's belly, and sighed: "Although things are not good at home, it is home after all."
"As the old saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse."
"Although the Chu State is not good, it is the country where I was born and grew up. Now Emperor Daojun is captured. Emperor Zhang Wu proclaims himself emperor in Nanjing, and the general Xiong Wuwo has become a secondary assistant."
"The king and his ministers are kind and trustworthy. It seems that Chu State is about to revive. Judging from the current wealth of Chu State's territory, there is no chance of turning defeat into victory."
Chang Congfeng nodded repeatedly, this is the reason. Does that mean surrendering to Chu?
Zhu Zhongguo suddenly changed the topic and said, "It's a pity. I'm in Taiyuan. The Emperor of Han is waiting at my door."
"If I surrender to Chu, we will definitely die without a burial place. Although my name is Zhongguo, I am actually sorry for this name. I am not only afraid that my body will be lost, but also that my family will be ruined."
Chang Congfeng was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "General, is he planning to surrender to the Han?"
"Yes." Zhu Zhongguo nodded slightly, and then finally revealed his heart to his confidants: "Congfeng. I have been waiting and watching during this period. I want to use my own eyes to confirm whether the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is a wise king."
"Although the Chu State had a chance to turn defeat into victory, the Han Dynasty was indeed strong."
"And I saw it with my own eyes. The Han emperor's governance in Hebei. Starting from rectifying the administration of officials, he was really vigorous and resolute."
"I have never seen this concrete road before. But in my mind, what it looks like appears."
"I carefully calculated and analyzed carefully. I still think the Han Dynasty has a greater chance of winning."
"So I made up my mind to defect to the Han Dynasty."
Chang Congfeng nodded again, his analysis was correct. He is worthy of being my general.
But soon, he was puzzled and said: "In that case. Then why didn't the general give Cao Hua a clear answer, but said he would think about it again?"
"Is it because of the Cao family?"
The light often flashes out of the wind's eyes and blurts out.
"Ah. I want to discuss this matter with the emperor face to face. I will risk everything in exchange for the ruin of the Cao family."
Zhu Zhongguo nodded slightly, veins appeared on his forehead, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
Chang Congfeng took a deep breath, and then nodded heavily to express his support.
.............
Qizhou City.
Cao's courtyard.
The armored and sharp imperial guards surrounded the courtyard.
In the lobby.
Wu Nian was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the main seat. Sitting below was Cao Hua, who was dusty with travels.
After listening to Cao Hua's words, Wu Nian raised his head and asked the eunuch beside him to make tea, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Cao Hua is right.
Zhu Zhongguo will definitely not act without aim.
But judging from Zhu Zhongguo's reaction, this matter has something to do with Cao Miao'e, but not very much.
So why?
Wu Nian shook his head, put away his thoughts, looked up at Cao Hua who was drinking tea and said, "I hate playing riddles."
"Let's go to the city. I will give Zhu Zhongguo one last chance. If he is willing to surrender, all conditions will remain the same."
"If he wants to try his own strength, the fist of a few people will be stronger."
"Then kill him."
"Exile all his family members to the Three Han Dynasties."
At the end of the sentence, Wu Nian's face showed a murderous look.
Fighting on the battlefield, death and injury are inevitable.
Since we can't reach an agreement, there will only be mountains of swords and seas of blood.
"Yes." Cao Hua quickly put down the tea cup and bowed in response.
As Wu Nian's order was issued, people inside and outside Qizhou City began to prepare.
Early the next morning.
Wu Nian took Cao Miao'e with him, still with his eldest son King Qi as the vanguard, and marched south to Taiyuan in a mighty way with tens of thousands of horse infantry.
Taiyuan and Qizhou City are not on the same plain, and are blocked by mountain roads. If Zhu Zhongguo sends people to guard the mountain road or carry out raids.
The march of the Han army will definitely be affected.
However, the Han army did not encounter any harassment and arrived at Taiyuan City easily.
