After Cao Hong's episode, the atmosphere in the hall became more serious. Everyone had a new understanding of Cao Pi, and thought to himself that His Majesty became cruel and even the clan would not let go.

"Zi Yang, I know that you have many good plans. Yong Liang is also lost now. You can't watch Liu Bei continue to grow up. But do you have any tricks?" Cao Pi pointed Liu Ye's name directly.

Liu Ye was about to turn back to his original position, but after being named by Cao Pi, he bowed and replied: "What Wang Situ said is true. Liu Bei rashly took over a large area of ​​Yongliang's land, and there would not be too many soldiers left behind in Chang'an. I suggest that General Wenbo (Zhu Ling) go out to Tongguan to test. If the Huayin defenders shrink their defense line and return to Chang'an, Your Majesty can adjust their elite troops and advance west immediately."

"Well? Ziyang didn't hear what he said just now. The troops around Luoyang are limited. Where can I transfer elite troops into the pass to fight? Is Guan Yu from Jingzhou ignored it?" Cao Pi and everyone showed surprised expressions.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ye answered firmly: "Just ignore Guan Yu and try his best to attack Chang'an, Wancheng, and Luoyang to defend. The field battles of Jingzhou are still acceptable, and the siege battles are not enough."

"Sir, this plan is too risky and can easily cause panic among Luoyang people, and the difficulty of defense will increase a lot." Zhu Shuo was responsible for the garrison in Luoyang, so he was the first to jump out to object.

Liu Ye smiled contemptuously: "The Jingbei War has been fighting intermittently for a year. Guan Yu can mobilize only 20,000 or 30,000 troops now. Not to mention relying on these people to enter Luoyang City, it is very difficult to attack Wancheng even if it is strongly attacked. And the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Great Wei appeared under Chang'an City. Do you think the people of Chang'an are panicked? Liu Bei might recruit Jingzhou soldiers to pass the pass to serve the king."

"Ziyang means to use attack as defense? The Han and Wei sides exchange capitals at the same time, and compete for which of the two families is stronger?" Cao Pi frowned and stroked his beard.

"Yes, did Your Majesty discover that since the Battle of the Last Emperor Hanzhong, the rhythm of our Wei Kingdom has been led by Liu Bei's side? This is the case in Hanzhong, the Battle of Jingbei, and the battlefield of Yongliang is still the case. When will the initiative be handed over to the other side?"

Liu Ye asked a question like a cannon, letting the ministers in the palace see the sun, and it seemed that he had found the reason for the failures over the years. It turned out that he lost the initiative in the late stage of Cao Cao?

Cao Pi stood up from his seat and walked left and right in place, thinking that Liu Ziyang was indeed a little wise man, but he thought too much about doing things. If you reminded the late emperor early, I would not have been so passive now.

"What do you think?"

Facing Cao Pi's inquiry, no one in the palace talked about it, and Cao Xiu finally stood up, "The current situation is like fog. The plan of Taizhong Doctor may be tried, but Tongguan Zhu and Hao Er are good at defending but not attacking. Your Majesty can send a powerful general to help."

"General Zhang He is familiar with Yongliang and was originally the best candidate, but he was infected with the cold on the way to Bingzhou. Now he stayed in Liangziyu to recuperate. I wonder which general is willing to share my worries?" Cao Pi looked around everyone.

Xu Huang knew that Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang were both clan generals, Zhu Shuo and Wu Zhi were Cao Pi's confidants, and he and Wang Zhong were already chosen.

"I'm willing to go there at the end." Xu Huang went out and held his fists and volunteered.

"I almost forgot that Gongming had regained Guanzhong with the late emperor. Now he asked the general to visit his hometown again, hoping to continue his efforts." Cao Pi nodded with relief.

"I will do my best." Xu Huang's eyes were firm.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and pointed at the general Wang Zhong and ordered: "General Light Che, please go with Gong Ming. You should take the initiative in the war from Liu Bei."

"Vei." Wang Zhong and Xu Huang answered in unison.

Cao Pi selected the candidates for the war and asked Cao Xiu to allocate 10,000 elite troops to Xu Huang. The next day he went to Tongguan to attack Huayin, Sanchao returned to the harem with a humming small song.

Due to the pressure during this period, Cao Pi was completely uninterested in visiting the concubines at night. Just now, Liu Ye seemed to have found the crux of the Wei Kingdom at the court meeting, and the extinguished flames in his heart ignited again.

Gao Jian was good at observing words and expressions, and Cao Pi almost wrote his desire on his face, so he took Sima Zhao to select beauties and told the other party to remember the emperor's preferences and pay great attention to what kind of person to choose when to choose.

Although Sima Zhao was young, he learned very quickly. He could basically remember what Gao Ji taught him by learning it once, but what the emperor wanted to do now aroused the pain of his young heart.

Sima Zhao will never understand some happiness.

When Gao Jian saw Sima Zhao's expression, he guessed the other person's thoughts and comforted him like a father: "You have to learn to think more easily. Although you have lost some happiness, you have saved more troubles at the same time. Do you know how many heroes in the world die at the hands of women? Beauty is a disaster."

"You are right, I've recorded it." Sima Zhao wiped his tears and nodded sincerely to respond.

"Good boy, come with me." Gao Jian patted Sima Zhao's shoulder and continued to comfort and explain: "Although the eunuch is incomplete, he can be as fond of his eyes as His Majesty. Even the concubines of the emperor like us should be respectful. There are countless beauty to see in this life. Except for His Majesty himself, those princes and kings cannot compare with this."

"Uh, okay." Sima Zhao was speechless after hearing this, thinking that Gao Qi was born in a low-key background and had only a little distance in his vision. As a close minister of the emperor, how could it be enough to fill his eyes? Even if he couldn't do what Zhao Gao did, he would try his best to become the next Cao Teng.

In mid-March, Xu Huang followed the imperial edict to enter Tongguan, and the next day he led more than 10,000 elite troops to Huayin.

Before leaving, Xu Huang asked Zhu Ling: "Huayin was originally guarded by Zhao Yun. Now that this person has gone to Anding, who has Liu Bei sent?"

"It was his adopted son Liu Feng." Zhu Ling's answer was brief.

"Is this person again?" Xu Huang frowned.

Wang Zhong scratched his head and asked curiously: "The general has fought with him?"

Xu Huang nodded in affirmation, "Last year, the Nanxiang battle, this guy often led his troops to attack my food route, and he was extremely annoying like a mouse."

"How is this person's martial arts?" Wang Zhong asked Zhu Ling again.

Zhu Ling waved his hand and said, "I haven't fought each other, I don't think it's a good thing."

"I haven't heard of any record of him." Xu Huang denied it.

Wang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that he had been defeated by Liu Bei in Xiaopei. Now that his father and son paid off his debts and sons, he asked Liu Feng to take it back. So he folded his fists and asked Xu Huang Ying, "General Xu, why use a ox knife to kill a chicken? I am willing to be the pioneer and find out the truth for you."

Xu Huang and Zhu Ling looked at each other, thinking that it would be nice to hide themselves first. If Liu Bei couldn't even deal with Wang Zhong and invited reinforcements from Luoyang, Chang'an City might have changed hands.

"Okay, be careful." Xu Huang instructed solemnly.

"Don't worry, General, I will be sure to be despised." Wang Zhong then folded his fists and left, leading his three thousand men to Huayin.

Under the influence of the Lantian Reconnaissance Battalion, each of the troops under Liu Bei formed their own intelligence battalion departments. Therefore, as soon as Xu Huang's troops left Tongguan, Liu Feng organized and deployed defenses while sending people to Chang'an for help. Zhang Fei returned to Chang'an for less than ten days.
