Chapter 40 Wei Zhu's frustration at Tongque Terrace, Wu Shu competes with Jiangling City
Cao Pi has been going to Tongque Terrace more and more recently, and he usually lives in Yecheng.
Because that's the only place he can be proud of.
Elsewhere, he felt that his life was too naughty and useless.
The Three Kingdoms are now in the period of rest and recuperation. Once they have gathered enough food and grass and raised their wounded soldiers, they will come back again.
Both the Wu and Shu kingdoms gained great benefits, but they themselves suffered heavy losses.
If a foreign minister like Sima Yi loses a battle, he must be punished by being demoted to the third rank and waiting for an imperial edict to apologize. Otherwise, he cannot convince the public.
The greatest confidant, Cao Zhen, has a broken leg and a broken arm. He is currently recovering in bed with no hope of recovery.
For Cao Pi, the situation couldn't get any worse.
Then why can only Tongquetai make him happy?
First, it is far away from the disasters of war. Xuchang is too close to Guan Yu and Luoyang is too close to Liu Bei, so I dare not go to these two treasures.
Second, it allows him to feel the dignity of a man here.
All the beauties here had owners before.
Cao Cao was invincible in the world and killed all his enemies. After the clan was exterminated, all the beautiful women were left behind.
There are the wives and concubines of the enemies, and there are also their daughters.
Cao Cao likes to enjoy other people's wives and concubines because he feels that this can humiliate his enemies to the greatest extent and make them uneasy even when they die.
The problem now is that the wives and concubines of these enemies are already old.
That's easy to handle, haven't the enemies' daughters grown up?
Those who are old and beautiful can just do odd jobs, while those who are young and beautiful can continue to be humiliated.
Serving Cao Pi today is Miss Lu Qi, Lu Bu's daughter.
The girl is in her twenties. A daughter from an ordinary family would have been married long ago at this age.
She was not qualified. Her life was over from the moment her father was defeated and killed, and her wife and daughter were captured by the enemy.
She will never be free again, she is just a beautiful captive for people to play with.
"Wash my feet!"
Wearing silk and silk, she was forced to show her most beautiful side to her enemy's son and serve him.
The eldest daughter of the Lu family, who was once loved by her parents, now serves tea and water like a servant and kneels on the ground to answer questions.
I have to wash the feet of this enemy emperor.
She looks very beautiful.
From time to time, Cao Pi would sarcastically say: "You are so beautiful, if you are lucky, you can become a queen, haha."
She could tell it was sarcasm.
She dared not speak and continued to serve her master like a dog.
But excessive submission did not earn this poor girl the least respect.
Just insult after insult.
Cao Pi was angry - he had been in a bad mood all year round and was not capable of sitting in that seat. It was quite painful to sit in that seat - so he took out his anger on her.
The delicate beauty endured her nausea and finished washing his smelly feet. He kicked the beauty in the chest, knocking Miss Lu away.
Most of the water in the basin splashed onto her body.
Flow down along the hair.
The anger in her heart had reached its limit.
She laughed coldly.
"Why are you laughing? How dare you laugh at me?" Cao Pi was an extremely unconfident man, and he was particularly afraid of being laughed at by women.
"I'm laughing at you for being such a coward! You don't even have one ten thousandth of the skills of an old thief from the Cao family. You can only vent your anger on women!"
Miss Lu is risking her life today.
He was furious, his eyes widened, and he threatened: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Miss Lu smiled and said: "People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? I should not have lived for so many more years! What's the point of being like a walking zombie? I should have followed my father underground a long time ago! I would have saved myself from seeing you.
This villain is worse than a pig or a dog!"
"You! I've rebelled against you!" Cao Pi said angrily: "Come here, tie up this bitch!"
Several tiger and wolf soldiers tied up Miss Lu with ropes.
She didn't resist and allowed them to torture her.
In order to please their master, they tied her up very painfully.
But she refused to beg for mercy.
Cao Pi picked up the whip and whipped her hard. Her face and arms were covered in blood, but she refused to beg for mercy.
He just looked at him coldly and sneered.
Even the eunuch in charge here couldn't stand it: "Girl, you have such a tough mouth, so you should be soft to His Majesty!"
Unexpectedly, these words made Miss Lu laugh miserably: "Hahaha... An emperor actually needs a woman to show him respect. It makes me laugh to death! This wimp, even a woman refuses to surrender to him, this usurper of a beast
Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of Wu and Shu! Hahaha!"
Everyone lowered their heads, no one dared to look at her.
But she laughed loudly: "The false emperor can't do anything to the two kingdoms of Wu and Shu, but he can only vent his anger on women. Look at it, see how cowardly this waste is!"
Cao Pi was so angry that he even said: "You want to die, but I won't let you die! I will let you continue to be humiliated here!"
When he turned around and left quickly, his head almost hit the door, otherwise he would have been even more embarrassed.
After he left, the old eunuch untied Miss Lu and applied wound medicine on her.
Miss Lu solemnly thanked the old eunuch for his kindness.
From then on, Cao Pi never set foot on the Tongque Tower again until his death.
Liu Bei recruited a large number of troops from Shu to consolidate the city defense of Chang'an. This is the front line of Yongliang. If you protect this place, you will protect Yongliang.
In order to ensure that the important territory in Shu was not lost, he issued an edict to order Mi Zhu to leave Shangyong immediately and go to Chengdu to serve as the prefect, and ordered Jiang Wan to take over the post of Yizhou Mu and return to take up his post.
Zhuge Zhan (son of the prime minister), Zhao Guang, Zhao Tong (son of Zhao Yun), Chen Dao and others guarded Shu together.
Generals Liu Yin, Zhang Yi, Jufu and others were also transferred to the Nanzhong front line to guard against Meng Huo.
The news of a large number of troops being mobilized was discovered by Soochow and reported to the Lord of Wu.
Sun Quan wanted to know the reality of the Lower Shu and the defense situation in Jingzhou, so he sent Cheng Bing, Yu Fan, Ding Feng, Ling Tong and others to Jingzhou to meet Guan Yu on the pretext of being envoys.
Although the veteran Guan Yu's hair and beard are mostly gray, he is still full of energy and strong.
The two sides sat down separately. The envoy from Soochow expressed the respect of the Lord of Wu and said to Guan Yu: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao's army is exhausted now. This is a golden opportunity. Why don't you attack Xiangyang?"
Guan Yu knew that their purpose of coming was just a test, so he smiled and said: "The soldiers need to rest and recuperate, and it is difficult to get off the fortified city."
Cheng Bingdao said: "Since the prince doesn't want to take it, how about the Lord Wu taking it for the prince? The prince only needs to use the way."
This move is really damaging.
Guan Yu did not accept the move and just excused himself: "I have no right to make a decision on this matter. I must report it to His Majesty for a decision!"
No matter how much Lord Wu asked about the war in Jingzhou, Guan Yu always ignored him.
When the people of Wu asked about the traitor Gan Ning, Guan Yu said: "He has been placed in great importance by the Han Emperor! He will definitely become a general and become a prime minister in the future!"
It means that it is much more comfortable with us than with you.
The Wu people were speechless. Guan Yu did not let Gan Ning meet with them today. If he wanted to spy on other things, he would have no chance.
When it was time to eat, Ling Tong and others said: "There is no way to have fun in the army, so I invite you to dance with the sword for fun!"
Guan Ping said with a smile: "Hongmen Banquet's tricks have been going on for hundreds of years. Are you sure you can assassinate my father?"
Ling Tong blushed with embarrassment: "I don't mean that at all! Why do you want to slander your beloved?"
Guan Suo said: "It's good to make friends with martial arts, how about I play with you? My martial arts is too bad, General Ling should be merciful."
Ling Tong said: "Master, you are humble."
Some of the Wu generals secretly rejoiced in the misfortune and wanted to see Guan Suo make a fool of himself.
Guan Suo checked Ling Tong's martial arts, 81.
I am 100.
"General Ling invites you!" Guan Suo pulled out his snake-slaying sword and faced him.
