The carriage slowly stopped, Cao Fu jumped out of the car, rushed to the car, and reached out to help him: "Dad, be careful."
Cao Hong coughed, held the car Shi and stood up with some difficulty. Although he was wearing a brilliant brocade clothes, his face was not good and he looked a little gray. With Cao Fu's help, he got off the car and took a look at it.
The door, sighed, walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.
Xiahou An came out of the door, welcomed Cao Hong into the mansion with a smile, and went straight to the atrium. Xiahou was wearing white clothes and was wearing cloud hands in the yard. When he saw Cao Hong coming in, he stopped his power and followed the maid's hand.
He took the cloth towel and wiped his face, and smiled and said, "Uncle, it's a happy new year."
"Okay, okay, I'll live another year." Cao Hong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What's the big deal? I won't let my old bone live in peace, and I'll come over to wish you a happy New Year?"
Xiahou Qing smiled slightly: "Uncle, logically speaking, I should go to greet you New Year's greetings, but you know, I'm now..." He shrugged and smiled bitterly: "It's inconvenient to move."
Cao Hong didn't say anything else. After losing Guanzhong, Xiahou Qing was undoubtedly the first person in charge. Although Cao Rui redeemed him and did not punish him, he never used him again. Because of this, Princess Qinghe did not
Xiao was angry with him, and Xiahou Qi was not having a good life. The two of them were sympathetic and no longer cared about anything.
Xiahou Wei gave Cao Hong to the hall and repelled everyone. Then he whispered: "I heard that uncle donated half of his family's resources to support the war in Guanzhong?"
Cao Hong's cheeks twitched. When he thought of the money, he felt distressed. His health was not good, on the one hand, because of illness, on the other hand, because of the donated money. The war in Guanzhong was tense, and as a royal family, he had to do so.
He expressed some things, not to mention that he was almost killed by Cao Pi because of his stinginess. He was bitten by a snake for a year and was afraid of straw ropes for ten years. He was old and had passed a few years, but he didn't want to be killed by Cao Rui again.
But that money really made him feel distressed.
"I admire Uncle's generosity very much. But the country is not only short of money, but also lacks food." Xiahou Qing said lightly: "Don't Uncle want to share the worries of His Majesty?"
Cao Hong almost jumped up and stared at Xiahou Wei: "Zi Lin, you..."
Xiahou Wei knew that he had misunderstood and waved his hand quickly: "Uncle, don't be anxious. Listen to me."
"What do you say? I really have no money." Cao Hong said anxiously and bluntly.
"I know my uncle has no money, so I want to give him a way out of money." Seeing Cao Hong so panicked, Xiahou Wei didn't dare to keep him in a hiding manner. Don't scare Cao Hong to death during the New Year.
"Financial Way?" Cao Hong calmed down a little: "What good fortune can you give me?"
"Look at what you said." Xiahou Wei looked at Cao Hong with dissatisfaction: "I can only say this to you." He leaned into Cao Hong's ear and whispered a few times. Cao Hong's eyes were originally narrowed, a little bit
He didn't have the energy either. After listening halfway, his eyelids suddenly raised. His eyes were shining: "Take it serious?"
"Do I dare to lie to you?" Xiahou Qing sneered: "Let me tell you clearly. I am not only helping you, but also helping myself. If I don't do anything, I will not be able to live this life."
Cao Hong's eyelids fell. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, and nodded: "If this is the case, this business is done. However, if you want to do it safely, you must first communicate with Your Majesty. If someone reports it to His Majesty.
Your Majesty cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb. In addition, the fleet must find a good place where it lands. Xuzhou is not peaceful now. If there is no help from locals, I am afraid that the ship will not reach Luoyang and will be robbed."
"I've thought of someone."
"who?"
"Taishan Goats House."
Cao Hong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiahou Feng, and laughed: "You have planned everything, just wait for me to get into the trap, right?"
Xiahou Qing smiled and said nothing.
Cao Hong nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the time you have been resting at home is not wasted. The Taishan Goat family is indeed a good candidate. It is much better to have Xin Georgia in front of His Majesty. However, you must be careful.
Although this business is big, it has a lot of investment in advance. If something goes wrong, it will be a waste of money."
"Uncle, don't worry, I can't afford to offend any of your families, can I be careless?"
"Okay, I'll believe you once." Cao Hong laughed. Xiahou Qing also smiled, leaned back, exchanged a look with a young man behind him, and nodded at the same time.
...
Cao Rui was stunned and looked at Xinpi: "Is there such a thing?"
Xinpi nodded solemnly.
Cao Rui stood up, paced back and forth for two steps, unable to control his joy, and laughed out loud: "This man is so bold, selling food to the enemy, and is not afraid of death without a burial place after being exposed?"
"This matter is very important. Of course, he did it carefully and could not leave any handle. Even if Zhuge Liang discovered it, he would be just a lack of strict rule and could not catch evidence of his direct participation. However, Your Majesty, I think this
Something is a bit strange."
"What's wrong?"
"Even if it is a sea transportation, the cost is not long. It won't take long, I'm afraid that I, Dawei, will have no money available."
Cao Rui's eyes rolled and waved his hand vigorously: "I am in a hurry to follow the power, and I don't care about so much for the time being. I immediately issued an edict to collect the copper from Luoyang and Yecheng to mint coins to overcome this difficult time." He
Walking down the corridor, looking at the sky in the distance, and smiled: "I know this is a pair of poison, but I can only eat it. If I can't retake Guanzhong, the fate of the Great Wei Kingdom may end in my hands."
Xinpi sighed and said nothing. Since Cao Rui had thought of all the consequences, he didn't need to say anything more.
"No matter whether he did this or not, collect the evidence well. If there is no evidence, just forge some evidence. When I overcome this difficulty, I will bite him hard." Cao Rui smiled gloomyly: "Yes,"
How could the Shu Han be prosperous with such a minister? Zhuge Liang is a talented person, so what is the benefit of it? It seems that God has not abandoned the Great Wei yet."
Xinbi wanted to speak but stopped.
...
The sun shines, and the mountains covered by thick snow are covered with white white, a little dazzling. A group of people drove the pack horses and pulled sleds filled with food, trekking hard in the snow.
. Seeing the camp ahead, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted with relief: "Everyone works harder, even if they have done an errand."
Although there was a sled invented by Zhuge Liang, transporting grain in such weather is still a chore. After arriving at Daying safely, I finally didn't have to sleep in the snow and ice. I could eat a bite of hot food in total. I was exhausted when I heard the word Daying.
The people finally got a little spirited.
Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and wrapped the cloak tightly on his body. Looking at the folks wearing shabby cotton coats and were so cold that they were snot flowing. He sighed and turned around and ordered: "Duke Wei, let the baggage camp prepare more
If you eat hot food, then slaughter two pigs and add some meat to these people."
Yang Yi frowned: "Prime Minister, there is still food, but there are not many pigs, so it is still for military use."
"Isn't it the same for soldiers and people to eat?" Zhuge Liang said: "Go, don't be stingy. When the snow melts, more cattle and sheep will be sent."
Yang Yi responded helplessly, turned around and met Huo Yi head-on. When he saw the serious expression on Huo Yi's face, Yang Yi was shocked. When the two passed by, he gave Huo
Yi handed a questioning look. Huo Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yang Yi's mood suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly arranged it and rushed back to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had just finished reading the urgent report. When he saw Yang Yi coming, he said nothing and handed the urgent report to Yang.
Yi. Yang Yi took it and saw it, and couldn't help but sigh in a cold breath.
It was a message from Jiang Wan.
"Li Yan is so bold!" Yang Yi's eyes turned red and his breath was a little quick: "Chen Xiaoqi said it right. Li Yan did have scales on the abdomen. No, he not only had scales on the abdomen, but he was simply hiding evil intentions.
A large number of people from Yizhou and Dongzhou people were promoted, how could the court not be in chaos?”
"He just wants to win in chaos." Zhuge Liang sighed lightly: "The state is difficult. They do not know how to unite sincerely, but the party is the same and the other party is in conflict, and they are in chaos. In the long run, internal struggle will continue, and the country will not stop, and the country will not be in trouble, and we will still talk about it.
What was the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the Restoration of the Han Dynasty?”
Yang Yi's face turned pale and thought for a while: "Prime Minister, we must prepare early. Since Li Yan is uneasy, how can Meng Da be dormant? If he transports the food and grass from Jiaozhou to Xiangyang, what should we do here?"
He paused and said, "Also, Dong Yun is too weak. He is not Li Yan's opponent. Let Jiang Wan go back to Chengdu. Anyway, he will not be of great use in Lingling."
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and he shook his head: "No, Jiang Wan is useful in Lingling."
"Who is in charge of Chengdu?"
Zhuge Liang laughed silently: "No hurry, Li Yan can't make a big wave. Now I am not worried about external enemies, but internal troubles. If internal troubles are not eliminated, there is no way to defend against the enemy. Once internal troubles are resolved, how can the external enemy be enough
What a truth.”
Yang Yi was a little confused. He seemed to understand Zhuge Liang's words, but he didn't seem to understand them.
...
Chang'an.
Ma Su rose up, his face turned red and white.
Liu Min, who was standing in front of him, said nothing, as if he had expected Ma Su's reaction.
Liu Min is Jiang Wan's cousin, currently serving as the Prime Minister's Office, and follows Zhuge Liang's side. This time, he came to Chang'an under the order of Zhuge Liang to convey the news that Jiang Wan passed on to Ma Su. Before coming, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang took care of him, you only need to
Just turn it to the truth, needless to say anything else, Ma Youchang is a smart person, he knows what to do. Now Ma Su's reaction is as expected by Zhuge Liang, and he can't help but admire Zhuge Liang's magic tricks and grasps Ma Su's psychology so accurately
.
Ma Su paced back and forth a few steps, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and made a major decision. "I want to go to Linwei and meet the Prime Minister."
