Early on the next morning, two messengers rushed out of the Han army camp and the Wei army camp respectively.

The two messengers shouldered the tasks of their respective commanders, but one was to report good news and the other was to report sorrow.

Although the contents of their reports are different, it can be expected that when their battle reports are sent to their respective masters, the situation in Guanzhong will undergo a drastic change.

And doesn’t the current situation in Guanzhong represent the general trend of the world?

How could the drastic changes in the world be without Mi Yang's existence?

...

Compared with the rugged and difficult Longyou Road, the wide and straight Longshan Avenue is undoubtedly more convenient for traveling.

Therefore, before the Han army's messenger arrived at Longxi County, the messenger sent by Zhang He arrived in Luoyang first.

Cao Rui, who was originally visiting Jia Xu's body in Jia Xu's mansion, hurriedly left Taiwei's mansion and returned to the palace after learning that a battle report had arrived from the front line of Jieting.

When Jia Xu heard that the battle report had been delivered to the street pavilion, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

But no matter how worried Jia Xu was about the war in Jieting, he could only wait for the next news.

Cao Rui quickly returned to the palace.

As soon as Cao Rui arrived at the Chaoyang Palace, Chen Jiao, the minister who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately stepped forward and delivered the battle report to Cao Rui.

As the minister of Cao Wei, Chen Jiao naturally read the contents of the battle report first.

Therefore, there was an unspeakable expression on his face at this moment.

Worried but happy at the same time.

In the first battle at Jieting, our army was defeated again.

In this case, Chen Jiao would inevitably be worried about the situation in Longyou.

While he was worried, Chen Jiao couldn't help but secretly feel happy in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhang He's defeat was not too disastrous this time, at least Long You was not let out of control.

When he saw Chen Jiao's demeanor, Cao Rui already had bad guesses in his mind.

It was precisely because he was mentally prepared to accept bad news that Cao Rui felt shocked and angry after reading the contents of the battle report, but he was still able to control it after all.

Compared to the result of Zhang He's defeat, Cao Rui's current attention was more focused on the reasons why Zhang He was defeated.

The reason Zhang He had written clearly in the battle report.

Although Zhang Heming did not dare to point out the faults of Cao Xiu and Man Chong, in his report to Cao Rui, Zhang He could not help but explain everything.

Because Zhang He wrote the memorial to ask for help from Cao Rui, and if Cao Rui was not made aware of the importance of the matter, would Cao Rui use the Luoyang Chinese Army?

As the lord, Cao Rui needs to decide whether the reason for the defeat mentioned by Zhang He is his exaggeration or the truth.

After careful thinking, Cao Rui's judgment leaned towards the second point.

After realizing that Zhang He was telling the truth, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel a little confused.

How important is the Luoyang Central Army? How could Cao Rui not know?

Precisely because the Luoyang Central Army was too important, when Cao Rui sent troops to support Guanzhong before, Cao Rui would rather mobilize reinforcements from the distant Huainan than mobilize the Luoyang Central Army nearby.

But now it seems that it is time to use the Luoyang Central Army, unless Cao Rui is willing to bear the loss of the entire Guanzhong.

This is even more unacceptable to Cao Rui.

However, after making a decision in his mind, Cao Rui did not rush to issue an edict.

Given the importance of the Luoyang Central Army, even if he can be said to have almost controlled Cao Wei's political power at the moment, Cao Pi's consent must be obtained for the transfer of the Luoyang Central Army.

Cao Rui asked Chen Jiao to step aside first, and then took the imperial chariot and walked towards Cao Pi's bedroom.

Since Cao Pi vomited blood in the Chaoyang Palace that day, he has left all political affairs to Cao Rui, while he himself just rests in peace and recuperates.

Fortunately, Cao Pi had a good son who shared many of his troubles.

Coupled with the meticulous care given by the imperial doctors, Cao Pi was able to live to this day.

But when the foundation of the body has been damaged, no matter how good the external conditions are, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Cao Pi himself knew that maybe in the near future, he would have a day that he couldn't bear to talk about.

Cao Rui also knows this.

Out of filial piety, Cao Rui did not directly mention Zhang He's defeat when he met Cao Pi.

He only indirectly asked Cao Pi if he could give him the power to mobilize the Luoyang Central Army.

But Cao Pi was getting worse physically, but his IQ did not decrease.

Being able to use the Luoyang Central Army means that Cao Wei's current war situation is not optimistic.

However, Cao Pi did not expose Cao Rui's concealment. He smiled and handed the tiger talisman that could mobilize the Luoyang army into Cao Rui's hands.

But when Cao Rui left, Cao Pi suddenly said to Cao Rui:

"Tomorrow you will write a letter of credence to Sun Quan in my name.

The content is: I am the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty and seek his eldest daughter."

After hearing what Cao Pi said, Cao Rui couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In order to prevent Cao Wei from falling into a two-front war situation, he had previously sent envoys to Jiangdong secretly, hoping to exchange for Sun Quan's support in exchange for a marriage.

Unfortunately, the envoy he sent only received an ambiguous attitude from Sun Quan.

Later, news came from Huainan that Lu Xun was leading his troops north, so he put this matter aside for the time being.

This matter has not yet been made public, so how could Cao Pi know about it.

Moreover, given Sun Quan's ambiguous attitude before, even if Cao Pi now proposes marriage to Sun Quan in the form of a letter of credence, Sun Quan may not agree.

After seeing Cao Rui's surprised eyes, how could Cao Pi not know what he was thinking?

He is very satisfied with Cao Rui's recent performance, but Cao Rui is still too young and lacks some tempering in politics and people's hearts.

Cao Pi said to Cao Rui: "Although Sun Quan is capricious, he has always had great ambitions.

For such people, you can't just lure them with benefits, but also use momentum to motivate them.

Sometimes his ambiguity is itself an attitude of consent, but he just feels that the time has not come yet.

If the Liu family can one day dominate the world again, do you think the world will really be willing to do so?"

Faced with Cao Pi's half-questioning tone, the smart Cao Rui was convinced.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tianxia is a word that is often spoken by people.

It originally has no specific symbol, and when spoken by different people, the person or thing it represents will be different.

And what does the world mentioned by Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, refer to?

It was Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, the Gongsun clan, the lord of Liaodong, and even the leaders of the foreign tribes beyond the Great Wall.

People's hearts have been broken for decades, and people's desires have been developing unchecked for decades. How can the name of righteousness make the world surrender?

After being taught, Cao Rui bowed deeply to Cao Pi, and then after looking at Cao Pi's white hair, he held back his tears and walked out of Cao Pi's dormitory.

On that day, Liangzhou was defeated and Luoyang was shaken.

That day, Emperor Wei vomited blood and his hair turned gray overnight.

...

After seeing Cao Rui's hurried away figure, perhaps on the verge of death, Jia Xu's thoughts became more and more confused.

Gradually, Jia Xu's thoughts drifted back to that afternoon in June of the third year of Chuping.

Jia Xu still remembers that day, the weather in Chang'an was extremely hot.

That afternoon he rode a horse and stood at the foot of Chang'an City, looking up at the upright man with white beard and hair at the top of Chang'an City under the blazing sunlight.

The man's name is Wang Yun.

On the wall of Chang'an that afternoon, the young emperor couldn't stop crying, and his heart was shattered.

But under the city wall of Chang'an, Li Jue and Guo Si were holding up their swords and laughing, extremely arrogant.

What caused this scene was the tens of thousands of Xiliang elite soldiers who surrounded Chang'an City.

But even under the threat of tens of thousands of Xiliang elite soldiers, Wang Yun still did not change his upright character.

The tens of thousands of Xiliang elite soldiers under his fingers were yelling curses, and his words were like the sharpest swords in the world, making the tens of thousands of Xiliang elite soldiers extremely angry.

The words Wang Yun scolded that day seemed to Jia Xu to be the most pedantic language in the world.

What is the fate of the Han Dynasty? How ridiculous?

But in recent years, Jia Xu has often recalled the scene of that day and the words he thought were very ridiculous in the past. Why is this?

Thinking of the scene that day, Jia Xu felt the pain in her body coming back again.

Just before Jia Xu fainted, he suddenly remembered what Wang Yun had said angrily while pointing at him before he died:

"The law of heaven is clear. If you ruin the destiny of our country today, you will have retribution in the future!"
