Cao Pi praised Liu Ye to his face and deliberately put him on the fire, intending to beat him.
If he is not as scheming as Jia Xu, he should actively stand up and offer suggestions. All the ministers in the court felt Cao Pi's urgency, and Liu Ye was so smart that he naturally understood.
Just as Liu Ye kept wiping his sweat, he suddenly saw Situ Wanglang diagonally opposite and had a plan in mind.
"Your Majesty, although Luoyang does not have extra troops and horses for reinforcements, it can send counselors to Tongguan to counsel on military affairs, which can be considered to be helpful to General Zhu." Liu Ye lowered his head and answered.
"Oh? Is Liu Qing recommending himself?" Cao Pi said in his heart, good guy, you are originally a clan member of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't you want to "throw yourself into a trap"?
Liu Ye quickly waved his hand, "This person should be a good debater. He can expose Liu Bei's plan with his sharp tongue, so that the Han army can defeat it without attacking. I am not good at speaking in the first place, and I have been suffering from autumn recently." I have a cold and my throat is dry and I can’t talk much.”
"Is there anyone you can recommend me to?" Cao Pi saw that Liu Ye was aware of current affairs, and any doubts in his heart were immediately dispelled.
"Well, this matter has to be decided by Your Majesty, but if you can fight off the enemy with words, your name will go down in history in the future." Liu Ye held the wat in his hands and said, because he was worried that he would offend others, so he did not dare to recommend him randomly.
"If Liu Bei can be defeated in a verbal battle, it will be my Su Qin or Zhang Yi. Who is willing to contribute to the country?" Cao Pi stood up and looked at the audience.
The hall was as quiet as night for a while, and the air seemed to be filled with embarrassment.
Just when Cao Pi's anger rose, Wang Lang volunteered and said: "I would like to go to Tongguan to retreat from the enemy."
"Wang Situzhen is my subordinate. Zhu Wenbo feels that the sky is about to fall. You can immediately go west to Tongguan to hold up the banner of the Wei Dynasty for me." Cao Pi's eyes were burning.
"Old minister, I will live up to my command." Wang Lang bowed and saluted Cao Pi, then turned around and walked out of the palace to scan the other ministers, feeling as if he was the only one who could do anything else.
A few days later, Wang Lang arrived at Tongguan, took out Liu Ye's analysis, preached to the rear general Zhu Ling, and finally asked to go to Tongguan to have a verbal battle with Liu Bei.
In the past few days, Zhang Fei and Liu Feng took turns to challenge each other. Zhu Ling directly hung the no-war sign on the city wall. No matter how many Han soldiers insulted him, there was no response at all.
Wang Lang climbed up the city wall and looked down at the ground. He happened to meet Zhang Fei who was doing a routine of scolding. Zhu Ling wanted to introduce the man as Zhang Fei, but Wang Lang raised his hand and refused: "Wenbo can just watch from the side. I have been preparing very hard these days." Fully, we must defend Liu Bei to the point where he has no shame in staying in Guanxia."
"Uh, Situ, it's up to you." Zhu Lingxin said, "You are really confident."
"Hey, that black-faced general below, please ask your master Liu Bei to come here to answer." Wang Lang pointed at Zhang Fei and shouted. He had never seen Zhang Fei before, so he didn't recognize him when they met for the first time.
Tongguan finally responded, but the voice was so harsh.
Zhang Feiwang closed the door, raised his head and glared angrily, and said coldly: "Old man, who were you talking to just now? You are so loud that you want His Majesty to come to see you in person? Even Cao Pi, a child, dare not speak like this, right?"
Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, and quickly collected his emotions and replied: "Old man, I asked you politely, how can you, a black man, be so arrogant? Go and call Liu Bei to answer."
"You old dog are still asking for scolding? My eldest brother is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can you see him whenever you want? Do you think you are Cao Pi?" Zhang Fei replied rudely again.
Big brother? Wang Lang suddenly realized that the people in the city were not simple.
"I live in the great Wei Dynasty, Situ. It seems that the general's tone is not simple. I don't know."
Zhu Ling was watching anxiously and thought to himself that you still want to defend Liu Bei. He didn't even recognize Zhang Fei, so he quickly interrupted and reminded him in a low voice: "Wang Situ, he is Zhang Fei."
Wang Lang was startled when he heard this, and looked at the people in the city again. Although their beards and hair were all mottled, their leopard heads and eyes were obvious. He thought to himself that it was this reckless man, and he should have a verbal battle with him first.
"Is this general Zhang Yide?" Wang Lang bowed his hands in salute.
"Haha, Cao Pi sent a fool." Zhang Fei didn't take it seriously and made fun of Wang Lang to his entourage.
Wang Lang was old and stable. He ignored Zhang Fei's rudeness and continued to persuade: "I have heard about the general's name for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. Liu Xuande prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, but in recent years he has been engaged in military warfare and does not know how to recuperate with the people. How can he Aren't you a hypocrite who violates the law of heaven? The general regards Xuande as his brother and should remonstrate with him."
"Old man, what are you talking about?" Zhang Fei frowned.
"Since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the Yellow Turbans have been rampant, and the world has been strife. The country is in danger of losing its eggs, and all living beings are in danger. I, Taizu Emperor Wu, have swept away the Liuhe and swept through the eight wastelands. All the people are enamored and all sides admire virtue. This is extraordinary. Taking it with power is actually the destiny of destiny. Today, your majesty, with divine, cultural, holy and martial arts, inherits the great rule." Wang Lang continued to preach at the gate.
"Shut up."
Wang Lang was buzzing like a fly, Zhang Fei didn't even hear a word, and suddenly he shouted at the city.
He was anxious, and this black guy was anxious.
As expected, the reckless man had a stupid mouth. Wang Lang was secretly delighted when he saw this, and continued to talk: "Liu Bei raised unjust troops to invade our territory, but he was too weak to carry out his conspiracy. Unfortunately, my lord has seen through it with his wise eyes, and he has not yet... "
"Old dog, shut up." Zhang Fei's voice suddenly increased several times. After calming down Wang Lang, he continued to shout: "You are chattering like a woman. Do you dare to go down to the pass and fight to the death with me? If you dare to say one more nonsense, I will send you to death immediately. ."
Zhang Fei's scream was like thunder, which shocked Wang Lang and subconsciously closed his mouth. While the heroic voice was still echoing, Zhu Ling next to him suddenly exclaimed: "Situ, be careful."
Arrows kept coming from the city, hitting the pillar next to Wang Lang. Although Zhang Fei rarely used bows and arrows, his archery skills were never weak.
Wang Situ was so frightened that his face turned pale. Seeing this, Zhu Ling hurriedly helped him walk back. At this time, he heard Zhang Fei's scolding from below the city.
"Are all the men in the Wei Kingdom dead? They didn't dare to come out to fight with me with real swords and spears, so they sent an old dog with a broken back to chat in front of the battle. I remembered that Cao Cao's ancestors were eunuchs, and his Wei Kingdom All ministers are naturally eunuchs, hahaha."
Zhu Ling had been numbed by the scoldings these days, but Wang Lang rarely interacted with martial artists. This was the first time he saw Zhang Fei being so rude and vulgar.
"Wang Situ, Wang Situ, how are you?" Zhu Ling noticed Wang Lang's body twitching and hurriedly stopped.
Wang Lang lay in Zhu Ling's arms, pointed in the direction of Guanxia, and said with difficulty: "This black guy is so rude and rude, it really pisses me off."
Wang Lang had been away from the battlefield for a long time and had lived a comfortable life in the Wei Kingdom for these years. He never expected to be scolded by an army man in his later years. At this time, at the age of seventy-two, he was short of energy and blood. He suddenly felt so anxious that he couldn't even lift it up. , so angry that he spit out blood and died.
"Wang Situ, Wang Situ"
Zhang Fei was still going on under the city. He didn't know that he had accidentally cursed Wang Lang to death. Zhu Ling was so shocked that his back was covered with sweat, and he secretly cursed Zhang Fei as a shameless man.
Wang Lang was scolded to death for failing to win the battle, and the helpless Zhu Ling sent someone to send his body to Luoyang. Although he never asked Cao Pi for help, the memorial truthfully reported the cause of Wang Lang's death.
It means you guys should stop playing, Tongguan needs practical help.
At this time, Cao Pi had no time to pay attention to Tongguan, because Guan Yu had already sent troops to Nanyang at the end of October. This time, the four armies of Jingzhou were coming with a fierce force and seemed to be unstoppable. The Luoyang court once again made the sound of moving the capital.
