Perhaps Cao Pi didn't expect that Jian Yong could say this so boldly.
Facing Jian Yong's natural answer, he froze on the spot.
"That kid Liu Chan... doesn't know anything about this?"
"My Highness never likes to get involved in these matters, but... if it is really necessary for His Highness to sacrifice his life for the country, my Highness will never frown!
I recall that back then, when my Royal Highness was still an infant, he was able to clash with Cao Mengde's army without any harm..."
"Hehehe... Ridiculous!"
Cao Pi was not very angry at this time, but now that he heard Jian Yong talking nonsense, he couldn't help but sneered, and then interrupted him.
At the same time, while Cao Pi sneered and scorned, the military guard general Xu Chu beside him could not help but stood up directly. Without waiting for Cao Pi's orders, the sword was already unsheathed and placed on Jian Yong's neck.
"Jian Xianhe, if you dare to be presumptuous again, Chu Ding will kill you!"
"..."
At this time, Jian Yong looked at the sharp blade on his neck, then at the stern-faced Xu Chu in front of him, finally blinked his eyes and nodded silently.
Of course he's not afraid of Xu Chu... he just doesn't want to provoke this guy.
After all, other generals may just be bluffing, but this guy...maybe really capable of taking action, the Tiger Marquis and the Tiger Marquis...he is a real tiger!
Jian Yong, who knew Xu Chu's character well, naturally chose to give in, which made Cao Pi feel happy.
But... this little bit of happiness could not change the problem in his situation. As long as Liu Chan did not leave Wancheng for one day, his heart would never be at peace.
The most important thing is that Wei Yan from Shangyong, Li Yan from Yidu, Liu Chan from Wancheng and Sun Quan in front of him directly put him in a tight siege!
It was obvious that not long ago, he was the one who had the upper hand and was about to dominate the world.
How come it's so fast...
Cao Pi was a little angry, and at the same time he couldn't help but look at the counselors around him, hoping that they could give him an idea at this time.
Soon... Wang Lang, the Marquis of Anlingting next to Cao Pi, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, although this kid Liu Chan succeeded by luck, there is no need for us to be fooled by Jian Yong's words.
What he meant was that we had no chance.
But as far as I know, Liu Bei lost all his troops in the battle of Yiling, and Yidu County just forced the expedition.
Wei Yan, who occupied Shangyong, used Hanzhong soldiers and horses.
It can be seen that this Liu Bei was just trying to show off his strength, and that Liu Chan... directly relied on the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
Liu Chan is not popular in Jiangdong, and Liu Bei cannot give him any support. How many troops can he have in this situation?
As long as we wait for a counter-attack, Wancheng will probably collapse without a fight!
Why let them threaten us? "
After Wang Lang finished speaking, he gently stroked his long beard, and then snorted coldly at Jian Yong, who was silent again, "As for what Jian Yong said about cutting off our food supply.
Not to mention that our army still has a lot of food and grass available, so what if our army is short of food and grass?
Yuzhou has Xuchang, the companion capital, which already has heavy troops stationed there. There are also Zhongda, Changwen and others in Luoyang. Wancheng is very close to Yuzhou and Luoyang.
Once the news here reaches Luoyang and Yuzhou, reinforcements will arrive in an instant.
When the time comes, he, Liu Chan, will probably be the one who cannot escape. Why should Your Majesty worry? "
I have to say that Wang Lang can be regarded as a mature and prudent person. Although he relied on his reputation to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, he was beaten by Sun Ce until he ran away and couldn't even stay in Jiangdong.
But over the years in the Cao family, it can be considered that he has made great contributions and has gained a lot of knowledge.
Cao Pi did not bring many generals and counselors with him in this attack, and generals such as Xu Huang and Zhang He have always been reluctant to say much about such things.
Others did not dare to say anything because this matter was related to Cao Pi's safety, for fear that they might accidentally cause something unexpected to happen to Cao Pi...
However, these have nothing to do with Wang Lang. He has a high reputation, a stable position in the court, and he was killed on the battlefield. It is most appropriate to speak out at this time.
Wang Lang's meaning is very simple... There is no need to be frightened by these people's two or three words. If Liu Chan dares to block our escape route, he can just open it up.
After hearing Wang Lang's words, Cao Pi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something, and he burst out laughing.
"Jing Xinggong is right. That boy Liu Chan has entered Wancheng now, just to die!" After Cao Pi laughed for a while, he snorted directly towards Jian Yong who was not far in front of him, "Mr. Xianhe today Is there anything else to say?”
"I have nothing to say...Jing Xinggong...is worthy of being a famous general in Jiangdong!"
"You!" Wang Lang couldn't help but his face darkened after hearing this, "What do you mean!"
"Nothing...nothing..." Jian Yong waved his hands for a while, and then didn't intend to say anything more. He smiled directly at Cao Pi, "Since His Majesty has already made a decision, I'll wait. There’s not much more to say.
Jian Yong said goodbye and asked Your Majesty to stay. There is no need to see him off! "
"Wait!"
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. I really don't need to send it away!"
"I have no intention of sending you off!" Cao Pi's voice became a little cold again, "I just want Mr. Xianhe to stay in the camp."
"...Does your Majesty know that the envoys between the two countries are not killed during a war?"
"I won't kill you." Cao Pi couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw Jian Yong, who still looked playful and smiling until now, "It's just that I want Mr. Xianhe to stay in the camp. .
Didn’t you say that Your Highness has the courage to die for his country?
Today is a good time for me to see how Liu Chan, his son, died! "
".....His Majesty...."
"Take Mr. Xianhe down and take good care of him. Don't neglect him." Cao Pi snorted coldly at this time and did not want to have any more communication with Jian Yong.
On one side, people were asked to pull Jian Yong away, while on the other side, they immediately organized their troops and turned around to counterattack Nanyang.
At the same time, maintain the few cities in Nanjun that still exist to ensure that no problems will arise again.
But...his calculations were also anticipated by Zhuge Liang.
Chen Zhen went to find Sun Quan. In addition to negotiating terms to gain benefits for Liu Bei, he also asked Sun Quan to immediately send troops to hold off Cao Pi.
Even though this place is not Yiling, with Lu Xun's ability and the Yiling soldiers and generals around Lu Xun, it is not difficult to hold Cao Pi back.
However, because of Sun Quan's action, Cao Pi's counterattack plan was particularly unsatisfactory.
In the end, only about 10,000 of the tens of thousands of troops headed towards Wancheng under the leadership of Xu Huang. The remaining soldiers and horses could only continue to struggle with Sun Quan...
But even if there were more than 10,000 people, it would be enough to surprise Liu Chan.
