In Wancheng, the Han prince Liu Chan was facing the soldiers and horses surrounding him outside the city. He couldn't help but look at Sun Qian beside him again.
"Mr. Gongyou, Prime Minister...Does the Prime Minister have any other plans left?"
Today's Wancheng is once again facing the situation that Hou Yin faced back then, except that Hou Yin back then has become today's Liu Chan, and then Cao Renpangde has become today's Xu Huanghe...Cao Zhang!
Zhuge Liang once again saved half of the Han's life this time. At this time, the Han was the weakest.
But the world at this time has the best opportunity. Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu, Cao Ren and other generals of the Cao family are all on the battlefield in Jiangdong, and Sima Yi has not yet had military power.
Cao Zhang and other famous generals from the clan were placed under almost house arrest by Cao Pi. Cao Pi was so hot-headed that he couldn't listen to other people's words, and he didn't have many wise men around him...
Relying on Liu Chan's "skill" and a series of coincidences, the big man finally got a chance again, and he was about to have a chance to make a comeback.
And Cao's talented people finally took action.
Xu Huang once again demonstrated what it means to march straight in. After receiving Cao Pi's order, he immediately divided his troops into two groups with Xiahou Shang, handed over the army to Xiahou Shang, and rushed out with his own troops and horses.
Within three days, they rushed to the gates of Wancheng City...
If Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong were not both clever, he might have been able to break through Wancheng's gate and capture Liu Chan alive.
But Xu Huang is fast, and there is another person who is faster than Xu Huang.
That is the servant who stayed behind in Luoyang City and the right servant of Shangshu shot Sima Yi.
As a former confidant of Cao Pi, Sima Yi's life was indeed not easy during this period, especially in the second year of Huang Chu, when Cao Pi dismissed all his military posts as military governor.
It seems that Cao Pi wants to hand over all military power to the hands of his close relatives.
This is the tradition of the Cao family, and Sima Yi didn't have any objections to this. He honestly handed over the military power, but he did not stop participating in the war.
On the contrary, Sima Yi has been attracting attention to the war since Cao Pi's personal expedition.
When Liu Chan appeared on the Jiangling battlefield, he realized something was wrong.
In Sima Yi's view, regardless of whether Liu Chan was wise and foolish, pretending to be stupid in Jiangdong, or he was really stupid and misbehaving in Jiangdong, he should not appear on the Jiangling battlefield.
Now that he has appeared, he must have something up his sleeve.
The news reached Luoyang, and based on Liu Chan's performance, Sima Yi guessed what was possible.
If Sima Yi still has military power in his hands at this time, then Sima Yi may be ready to send troops when he hears about Liu Chan. When the news comes, he may be ready to take action.
But the problem is that he has no military power, and...Cao Pi is also a very special person. He does not trust his brothers, he does not trust his mother, and he does not even trust his wife and eldest son.
As a result, although Luoyang had Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others presiding over the government affairs, Cao Wei's government affairs did not collapse.
But when they really encountered a problem, there was no one who could make a decision.
In the huge Cao Wei court, the most confidant turned out to be Xiahou Dun's least courageous son, Xiahou Mao!
And Xia Houmao was not a person who could take charge. Although Cao Pi had a good relationship with him, he did not dare to let him take charge.
When Sima Yi discovered these problems, he finally figured out one thing. How could His Majesty be on guard against his brothers? He was on guard against everyone.
Today, the rear of Cao Wei is still where various generals are stationed, protecting the safety of Wei.
But... no one can command them. This is the most troublesome thing.
Sima Yi found Chen Qun, but Chen Qun had no military power now. Even if what Sima Yi said was justified, he had no choice but to let Sima Yi tell Cao Pi what he knew.
Then let Cao Pi pay more attention.
But this suggestion almost made Sima Yi curse.
From Luoyang to Nanyang, by the time he passes the news, I'm afraid everything will be over. Is there any point left?
And before Sima Yi could think of how to convince the generals in Luoyang City, he once again heard that someone was doing evil in Luoyang City!
Shanyang Cao Wei!
This name Sima Yi is not unfamiliar. He wrote to Sun Quan of Jiangdong asking for money and silk to cause trouble within Cao Wei. Jiangdong ridiculed this matter as if it were a joke.
Therefore, no one wanted to hide it, and it soon reached Cao Pi's ears.
Cao Pi, who was still in the army at the time, had already told Sima Yi and Chen Qun in the rear, asking them to capture Cao Wei from Shanyang, and then wait until he returned to kill this guy as a warning to others.
But before Sima Yi and Chen Qun could find Cao Wei in Shanyang, Cao Wei took the initiative to come to Luoyang.
Moreover... he seems to have some relationship with the newly appointed king of Juancheng, Cao Zhi, which makes the important officials in Luoyang feel a little bit jealous. At the same time, they also feel that Cao Zhi and Cao Wei really don't know whether to live or die.
At this time, you still dare to act nonsense!
It is said that Cao Zhi was impressed by Cao Wei's talent and learning, which is in line with Cao Zhi's character.
But if Cao Wei is doing this now, whether Cao Zhi knows it or not, I'm afraid it won't be easy in the future.
That is, after Cao Wei started to take action, Sima Yi knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, so he had to discuss with Chen Qun and forcefully send troops!
On the one hand, he and Chen Qun cleared up the rumors in Luoyang City to prevent this matter from getting worse.
On the other hand, he immediately went to the harem to invite the Bian family to come forward, and personally wrote a letter to Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng. At the same time, he recruited some troops and horses in the name of the Bian family and handed them over to Cao Zhang, asking him to lead the troops directly to Wancheng.
Although the news from Wancheng had not yet arrived at that time, Sima Yi had already guessed where Liu Chan's goal was.
Therefore, on the fifth day after Liu Chan captured Wancheng, Jian Yong made everything possible and left Wancheng for Cao Pi's military camp. On this day, Cao Zhang led his troops to the north of Wancheng, fifty miles away.
Not only did he stop the people who had just moved halfway, but he also directly led his troops to block Liu Chan in Wancheng.
A few days later, when Liu Chan and Cao Zhang of Wancheng were fighting in full swing, Xu Huang on the other side also led troops to the area around Wancheng and fought back the migrating people in the south.
At the same time, Liu Chan was completely besieged in Wancheng...
At this time, Liu Chan, after several days of fighting to the death, not only did not see any reinforcements, but he saw a new batch of enemies.
At this moment, he felt even more desperate.
"I believe in my father-in-law...but...does my father-in-law really have no plans left?"
