This unexpected news was truly unexpected by Cao Zhi.
Wang Ping further explained: "This is when the personal guard sent to take over the wife sent home a letter. Just when I wanted to send it for you, another messenger came from the state capital. It was Zhoucang Zhou Duwei (Cao Zhi was promoted to Danyang).
After becoming the prefect, Zhou Cang took over the post of Captain Cao Zhi. After handing in the letter, he said a few words to me and then fainted. He must have rushed here without stopping all the way."
"Yes! Come here quickly!" Cao Zhi repeated Wang Ping's last words to himself, and took the letter smoothly. He had a premonition that the matter might be serious, so Cao Zhi first tore open the urgent letter from Zhou Cang,
While reading, he motioned to Wang Ping to continue.
Wang Ping wiped his sweat and continued: "According to the messenger, Captain Zhou asked you to make preparations early, because Chen Shijun's position as governor of Yangzhou may change."
"What?"
Before Cao Zhi could read the first two lines, he was suddenly shocked. Chen Wen's position as governor was not obtained randomly. He was already the governor of Yangzhou before Dong Zhuo's change in politics. He also always knew how to protect himself and never participated in
What alliance, or
He was a clique and abide by his duty as the governor of Yangzhou. His goal was to govern Yangzhou well. His neighbors frequently changed the governor of the state, and when he was the governor, he was not touched. This shows that he is a man who has both sides. How can he have a high status?
What if it’s not guaranteed?
Cao Zhi's mind suddenly became confused. He waved his hand to stop Wang Ping from saying anything else, and just turned around and walked towards the study.
Along the way, Cao Zhi hurriedly read Zhou Cang's letter and finally understood the major changes in the governor of Yangzhou.
The cause of the matter also starts with Cao Zhi's fight for the Danyang Prefect. Cao Zhi recently heard that Yuan Shu did not support him being the Danyang Prefect, but Cao Zhi is now firmly seated in the position of Danyang Prefect.
, he didn’t pay too much attention to this aspect.
He just thought that Sun Ce might not have helped him handle this matter, or it might not have been done, but Zhou Cang described the matter in great detail. He told Cao Zhi in the letter that the later general Yuan Shu had not acted on the matter of Danyang Prefect.
After being able to get what he wanted, he decided to turn to Governor Chen.
Yuan Shu not only wanted to get involved in Yangzhou for a long time, but also always regarded Yangzhou as his own backyard. How could Chen Wen, Yuan Shu's confidant, control Yangzhou? Although Chen Wen had always respected him, through the Danyang incident, he believed that Chen Wen
He was not his loyal dog, so he wanted to simply replace the governor of Yangzhou. He planned to represent his confidant Chen Yu as the governor and drive Chen Wen away unceremoniously. With Yuan
With his family’s background and Yuan Shu’s various campaigns, Yuan Shu also made an issue out of the death of Zhou Xin, the former governor of Danyang. Yuan Shu knew clearly that Zhou Xin died on the battlefield (that was Yangzhou’s unified statement to the outside world).
, but Yuan Shu was far-fetched and said that Zhou Xin's death was caused by Chen Wen's killing of people in order to eliminate dissidents. This life was still a county governor, so that was okay, so Yuan Shu's plan was quickly responded to.
Recently, news came back from Chang'an that Li Jue and Guo Si basically did not object to Yuan Shu's proposal. Therefore, when Zhou Cang and his lord were about to lose their status, they still informed Cao Zhi of the news in time, because who in Yangzhou
Everyone knows that Cao Zhi is a direct descendant of Chen Wen. It was Chen Wen who strongly supported Cao Zhi when he took the position of Danyang Prefect.
After Cao Zhi read the letter, his face turned pale.
Although Wang Ping was anxious, he did not dare to take a breath.
Cao Zhi put his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time. When he turned around again, he said firmly: "Wang Ping!"
"At!"
"Prepare 2,000 troops and horses, all with iron cavalry. I will leave immediately."
Wang Ping took a deep breath. He knew where Cao Zhi was going, but he still asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Where is the lord going?"
Cao Zhi's expression calmed down at this time, and he said calmly: "Liyang!"
What Wang Ping was afraid of was what Cao Zhi said. Wang Ping stood up from his seat and knelt down in front of Cao Zhi. He said sternly: "My lord is righteous. I know that when Chen Shijun is about to lose power, my lord will still do it."
Wang Ping admires him for going to Liyang. But my lord still has many important things to do and cannot take risks himself. Why don't you let me go? quot;
Cao Zhi helped the loyal Wang Ping up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "No, I just ask you, if the imperial court comes and wants to remove me from the post of prefect, what will you do?"
Without saying anything, Wang Ping knelt down again and said solemnly: "Wang Ping is the Lord's man in this life, and will be the Lord's ghost in death. Regardless of the Lord's appearance, humiliation, ups and downs, Wang Ping swears to be loyal to the Lord to the death."
.quot;
"Okay, haha... With you people by my side, I have nothing to worry about. From now on, you will be in charge of the county government, and Mi Heng and the others will be back soon. Before the situation becomes unclear,
You must stick to Danyang and continue to steadily advance my reform plan, especially
We must pay attention to Xuzhou Tao Qian and Yuan Shu who may take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Danyang. And the ancestor of Jing County cannot let him jump out and cause us trouble again in this troubled year. If necessary, give up the originally prepared recruitment plan and use Thunder
It's not as good as hiding their ears and killing them."
When he said this, Cao Zhi made a killing gesture towards Wang Ping.
Wang Ping immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time pricked up his ears and memorized every instruction from Cao Zhi.
Now Cao Zhi has no advisers around him, and all important military and political affairs are delegated to him, which makes it difficult for him. But Cao Zhi has no other choice now. He must go to Liyang once, and Chen Wen has been kind to him.
, Zhou Cang, and Zao Zhuan all helped him when he first arrived in Yangzhou. No matter how big or small the kindness is, you must remember that others are kind to you and that only a true man can repay kindness.
Zhou Cang did not ask Cao Zhi to come to Liyang for discussion in the letter, but everyone knew that anyone who wanted to come after reading this letter would come, and they would come to help sincerely. Those who don't want to come, you are
I made it clear that if I asked him to come, it would be in vain.
Cao Zhi knew that Chen Wen had fallen, and Deng Ai, Zhou Cang, and Zaozhuan were all hesitant at this time. What they needed most at this time was help, even if it was just symbolic. Don't say that Chen Wen's downfall had nothing to do with Cao Zhi.
Although Zhi is relevant, even if it has nothing to do with it, Cao Zhi should also rush to help at this time.
However, Zhou Cang did not mention Chen Wen's current attitude in his letter. If he wanted to defy orders and compete with Yuan Shu, Cao Zhi had thought about it. With the strength of him and the state capital, it was not impossible for him to fight.
But I don’t know Chen Wen’s attitude now, which is the main reason why Cao Zhi must go to Liyang.
After explaining everything to Wang Ping, he asked him to prepare quickly. Wang Ping originally wanted to dissuade Cao Zhi. Could he wait a few days for Mi Heng or immediately send a message to Li Ru who was far away in Wancheng to come back?
When we return to Cao Zhi, not only will we have someone to discuss with, but we can even go to Liyang with Cao Zhi, so that we can take care of him a little more.
