"this……"
"Please don't blame me, Mr. Xiang."
The little emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead and picked up the tea cup tremblingly. However, his hands were too shaking and he poured the tea all over the table.
He wiped it with his sleeves in a hurry.
"Actually, I came here today mainly because I heard that there is going to be a war in Hezhou and Taizhou. Father, do you think I want to take care of it?"
"Give them an imperial edict to stop fighting..."
The little emperor's voice became smaller and smaller.
As he grew older, the little emperor gradually began to want to take charge.
In the past, all matters in the court were handled by Cao Kang on the grounds that the emperor was still young, and all matters big and small were handled by the Grand Sima Cao Kang.
Perhaps the little emperor gradually realized that he could do something, so he mustered up the courage to come to Cao Kang today.
"Your Majesty, things in this world are still very complicated, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Otherwise, why would you need me, a great Sima?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about these matters. I have my own arrangements. It's getting late, so Your Majesty should go back as soon as possible."
Cao Kang said coldly.
"Then...I will go back first..."
The little emperor regretted what he said just now, and now he quickly took advantage of this opportunity to slip away.
After the little emperor left, Cao Kang waved his hand and called a servant over.
"Go and find out whoever told the emperor these things. Kill them all. No one will be spared!"
Cao Kang said calmly.
At this time, in Sanhe County.
The people sent by Cao Kang are struggling to maintain their lives...
The little eunuch who was the first to arrive in Sanhe County was now very thin and disfigured. Since they arrived in Sanhe County, they have finally learned what it means to have no food to eat, what it means to not have enough clothes to cover their bodies, and what it means to live without peace.
Not to mention food and drink.
The most terrifying thing is that every time at night, many black shadows will appear outside their windows.
These black figures were definitely not human beings. They were all grotesque beasts. They also made all kinds of strange but terrifying noises. They were afraid to sleep at night.
I finally thought that it was daytime and I could get some sleep, but either these wealthy businessmen came to visit, or there were people playing gongs and drums in the front yard and talking about practicing some new ways to deal with monsters.
In this situation of hunger, cold and extreme lack of sleep.
Several times they saw groups of elves running around in the yard.
The same is true for the following groups of people.
After arriving, everyone was forced to stay in order to see Zhang Bao. Of course, there were also smart ones who wanted to go back first and tell Cao Kang and others about the news about Sanhe County.
As expected, they were ambushed by a dozen weird monsters on their way out of Sanhe County, but fortunately they took off their clothes without harming them, and then they hid in Sanhe County again. .
According to those who came back alive, those monsters were amazing. Not only were they covered in hair, but they also had two heads.
In this case, everyone stayed in Sanhe County endlessly.
Da Sima, who was far away in Xiazhou, naturally knew nothing about the situation in Sanhe County.
…
The border between Hezhou and Dongzhou at this time.
Zhang Renjie looked at the letter sent from Dongzhou and called a soldier over.
"Immediately find someone to inform the three generals Shi Xu, Cao Bao and Lu Liang to come over. Tell me it's an emergency!"
"Go quickly!"
The soldier did not dare to delay, so he immediately found two other messengers and started acting separately.
It didn't take long for the other three generals to gather in Zhang Renjie's tent.
"Something happened in Jimo County!"
Zhang Renjie handed the letter in his hand to the three of them.
The three of them passed each other and looked at each other, all with serious expressions on their faces.
"Let us go to Jeju?"
"This is ridiculous! Why are we going to fight against Jeju?"
"This is definitely not what adults meant."
Shi Xu said coldly from the side.
"Yes, not only that, your lord has not given us orders by letter for many years. Usually it is the people under your lord who come to us, but now we use a letter."
"Furthermore...this letter is different from your previous letters. When you sign it, you use your full name. You know, when your Excellency wrote to us before, he always used his pseudonym."
"So I conclude that although this is written by the Lord himself, it is obvious that the Lord is sending us a signal."
"I'm afraid something will happen in Jimo County!"
Zhang Renjie said on the side.
"When you said that, I remembered that I once asked some people to go to Jimo County to collect food. When they came back, they said that there had been a fire in the military camp, and there seemed to be an earthquake. Since then, the entire The military camp was placed under martial law."
"Let alone go in, you can't even get close. The soldiers standing guard at the door are always cursing."
"I didn't take it seriously before, but now that I think about it, something seems wrong."
Cao Bao interjected.
"The entire military camp is on fire?"
"How can this be?"
"Even if there is an earthquake, there is no chance of a fire."
"There's something fishy here."
Zhang Renjie said very doubtfully.
"But there are 10,000 men in the military camp. Who has such great ability and strength to kill these 10,000 men?"
At this time, Lu Liang frowned and said.
After hearing what Lu Liang said, everyone was stunned.
yes.
How can these ten thousand horses be so easy to deal with? What's more, the general leading the team is a well-known victorious general here in Dongzhou. Even if he fails, there will definitely be news sent out.
It may be possible to defeat 10,000 horses, but how is it possible to kill all 10,000 horses?
Unless it is completely surrounded by several times more enemies.
But where did so many enemies come from?
They are now blocking the border between Hezhou and Dongzhou. Whether they are mobilizing troops in Liaozhou in the north or Jeju in the south, they can detect it here.
And there is the sea on the other side. Where do these people come from?
This is simply not possible.
Besides, even if someone goes in, how can the people in Jimo County not know about such a big battle?
How could they not know anything about it?
It’s really strange!
"No matter what, send someone back to take a look. Don't be careless."
"In this case, I will ask my subordinate Yang Dali to take 5,000 troops back. He is a brother of our Zhou Mu clan. Go back and ask your Excellency for details."
"You also send one person each to lead thousands of troops back. This way, it will be simple."
"In addition, adults will never make such a mistake. We must also be prepared in case something changes."
Zhang Renjie thought for a while and said to the three of them.
"good!"
"We'll go back and make arrangements right away!"
The other three people all raised their hands and said.
