Xiahou Wei conveyed the meaning of Xiahou Ba, hoping that Wei Ba could leave a fiefdom and a title for the Cao Wei royal family so that the ancestors and ancestors of the Cao family could enjoy blood food and not be like ordinary people. Xiahou Ba had no obvious

What title should be mentioned and what fiefdom is, but it can be heard from Xiahou Wei's meaning that he hopes to be the title of king, at least the county marquis.

As for the size of the fief, it is not the key. Because the size of the fief only involves the amount of rent, and the level of the title directly affects the status. For the Cao family, their desire for wealth is far less than that for status. Wealth can be accumulated slowly.

, it will be difficult to change the identity. It can be imagined that as the former imperial family, the Cao family's career will definitely have an invisible ceiling in the future. Taking this opportunity to strive for a higher identity as much as possible.

Far more important than fiefdom.

Wei Ba thought about it and agreed readily.

"It's no problem to keep a throne. However, I will decide this candidate."

Xiahou Wei breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again: "I wonder who thinks who compares with the king?"

"You understand." Wei Ba smiled.

"King Lu?"

Wei Ba nodded: "I'll tell you the truth. I'm leaving a throne, not because your brothers have much strength. For me, your strength is not enough. However, Cao Yu married me, Tianshidao.

The fairy, as the sacrificial sacrificial wine of Tianshidao, I naturally have to leave some fief for the fairy to eat."

Xiahou Wei smiled with relief. Before he came, he discussed with Xiahou Ba for a long time and thought that King Cao Yu of Lu was more suitable. First, Cao Yu is a gentle and steady person and will not cause trouble. Second, he is Cao Cao's.

Son, his identity is enough. The most important thing is that his wife is the fairy of the Heavenly Master Dao, and Wei Ba has always relied on the Heavenly Master Dao. He has to give this face.

Now, everything was as they expected, and Wei Ba agreed to retain Cao Yu's title, which was a perfect match for both worlds.

"In principle, I agree to keep this title. But you can't ask for it for nothing." Wei Ba twisted his fingers: "I want you to besiege Luoyang together. If someone can be sent to sneak into Luoyang first and defeated it from the inside, of course,

It's so good. I don't want to burn Luoyang again."

Xiahou Wei bowed and accepted the order: "Please rest assured, the matter will be covered by our brothers."

...

Xiahou Wei returned to Xingyang and conveyed Wei Ba's opinions to Xiahou Ba. He specifically mentioned Wei Zheng's performance. He said to Xiahou Ba: "The King of Jin attaches great importance to this concubine's son and is likely to be made the crown prince. Even if he takes a step back, he says

, Wei Zheng could not become the crown prince and could not inherit the throne. In the future, the King of Jin would also arrange a piece of land for him."

Xiahou Ba pondered and said nothing. He had heard Xiahou Xuan say this long ago. He knew that Wei Ba was not trained as the crown prince. The reason was very simple. First, Wei Zheng was a concubine's son, and letting him be the crown prince would cause a lot of things

Unnecessary trouble. Second, Wei Ba is still young. He has just established himself this year. He is more conservative and can live for another 30 years and has enough time to cultivate his heirs. There is no need to establish the prince early.

Xiahou Xuan had just returned from conquering the Three Hans. He knew that Wei Ba was interested in continuing to fight to the east to conquer the situation. It was just that the country was uncertain and there was not enough energy yet. When the country was pacified, some of these generals would release their troops and return to the fields and release them to Ma Nanshan, and from then on they would enjoy themselves.

Sun, be a wealthy idle man; some are in their prime, how could they let them go home to retire? Some people are only suitable for the battlefield, not for living. On the battlefield, they are heroes who have made achievements, but they may be causing trouble.

The root of misfortune.

Xiahou Ba felt that he was such a person. He didn't want to retire when he was in his prime, and he would be in bed forever forever.

"You bring your personal guards back to Luoyang, join forces with Zilin (Xiahou Mao), Princess Qinghe and others. After everything is ready, try Cao Shuang's boss. See if he knows this. If you know, you can just use a sword

Kill him."

Xiahou Wei took the order and left.

...

Chang'an.

Li Yan, Wu Yi, and Fei Yi sat together, thinking about their own thoughts, but their expressions could not see the solemnity they should have.

Jiang Wei was trapped in Hangu by Sima Yi. This news that should be bad news was good for them. Without the army controlled by Jiang Wei, the process of liquidating the Prime Minister's Mansion can finally move forward again.

.

Li Yan took the initiative to express that the relevant persons from the Prime Minister's Office should be identified, and the interrogation efforts should be strengthened for those with major suspicions, so that the case will be revealed as soon as possible. The King of Jin has surrounded Luoyang and the pace of unification of the world will be completed soon. He set up

If the court could not give him an explanation for such great achievements, it would be unreasonable.

Of course Fei Yi would not object, and Wu Yi did not object, but they still had a problem now: how to prove that Jiang Wei was related to those dead soldiers.

Wei Ba asked them to do things without any leakage and not leave anyone with room for speculation about him framed him. He prepared a military servant to deal with the envoy, which was a guard against others. The guardianship was indispensable and lacked the basis for mutual trust.

It is natural to be wrong to be a little prepared. But if it cannot be proved that the dead soldiers were arranged by Jiang Wei, he cannot uproot Jiang Wei, otherwise, this is a crime to be accused of.

Wei Ba refused to do this, so he naturally had his considerations, but this caused a big trouble for Li Yan and others.

How can we find evidence to prove that this matter was led by Jiang Wei?

All three of them were at a loss. At this time, Li Feng walked in, looked at the three people sitting with their hands, and bowed: "General Cavalry, father, there is a businessman named Zhou outside asking for a visit."

"A businessman with the surname Zhou?" Li Yan and the other two were puzzled. Wu Yi and Fei Yi thought it was Li Yan's subordinates doing business, while Li Yan was confused. He sent someone to do business, but none of them had a surname Zhou.

Yes.

"Let him come in." Li Yan waved his hand and looked selfless. If he had met him privately now, this matter would be hard to explain. In the past, he didn't have to be so careful, but time has changed, he

Now you can't dominate your own destiny, you must be careful.

After a while, Li Feng led a middle-aged businessman in. The middle-aged businessman smiled and bowed to the three people in the hall: "In Xiayangxian, Zhou Feng, lurking in Chang'an under the order of General Zhenbei."

As soon as these words were said, not only Li Yan and others were surprised. Even Fei Yi was surprised. He didn't hear any news about Zhou Feng's existence. He had heard of who Zhou Feng was, so he asked Cao Xiuyi to hear who Zhou Feng was.

The defeated battle at Shiting was caused by Zhou Qi's threading needles. Later, Zhou Qi once sneaked into the Hepu Shipyard, trying to steal shipbuilding techniques and once fought with Yin Fan. Although Yin Fan finally won, Zhou Qi's use of the situation

However, Wei Ba's ability left a deep impression.

However, Zhou Feng fell into Yin Fan's plan and made Zhou Yin run away. He was also detained and forced to leave his post. Later, Wu surrendered and never heard of Zhou Feng again. Unexpectedly, he had been hiding in Chang'an.

.

A glimmer of hope arose in Fei Yi's heart and smiled and said, "Zhou Ziyu, you are really a dragon sank in the sea, you can't see the head but the tail."

Zhou Feng smiled and said with a smile: "I dare not, I have nothing to do and occasionally gain something, so I came to offer my ugly face to the Fang family, hoping to help you."

"Tell me, you must have some important news." Fei Yi smiled even happier.

"It's important or not, but people are different. People have their own opinions." Zhou Bing said: "A few days ago, I went to Liangzhou and found several people. All of their families died in Qingzhou. They were dressed in a state of no loss. I was soft-hearted for a moment.

Then he brought them to Chang'an. Maybe you are willing to meet him."

As soon as he said this, not only Fei Yi understood, but Li Yan and Wu Yi also understood it, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Li Yan and others immediately met the people brought by Zhou Yi. They asked clearly in a few words. These people were the families of the dead soldiers. They could get money every month and occasionally meet their families.

Now that their family has been missing for more than half a year, they have lost all the money they have every month. Their livelihood is in trouble, so they have to come to Chang'an to ask Jiang Wei for money.

Li Yan regretted it. He kept looking for evidence. But he didn't expect to go to Liangzhou to find evidence. Jiang Wei's dead soldiers were recruited in Liangzhou. So many people must require a lot of money and a fixed location to hide.

, Training, no matter how secret it is, as long as you spend some time, you can always find clues. He only focuses on Chang'an, where can he find it?

Li Yan immediately discussed with Wu Yi and sent someone to Liangzhou to thoroughly investigate Jiang Wei's accounts, and brought all the families of the other dead soldiers to Chang'an. Since Wei Ba wanted to confirm Jiang Wei's charge, they

Just collect the evidence a little more fulfillingly, so that everyone can have nothing to say.

Jiang Wei is the Prime Minister's confidant. Only by breaking Jiang Wei down can the Prime Minister be implicated.

...

Hangu.

Jiang Wei lowered his head and sat on a huge rock. He was extremely tired and could not even lift the knife in his hand.

After breaking through for five consecutive days, he paid a heavy price, but no substantial progress was made. Sima Yi defended with heavy troops, but refused to attack, which clearly wanted to trap him in this section of the valley.

Jiang Wei knew very well that he would not have reinforcements. Sima Yi also knew this, so he used this shameless tactic.

Reinforcements, no; breaking through, no hope. Even if you want to die in battle, it is not that easy. The food and grass are not yet exhausted, but the morale of the army has been shaken.

The soldiers looked at Jiang Wei with a strange look, especially those soldiers who were originally subordinate to Li Yan. They were forced to listen to Jiang Wei's orders. Now that Jiang Wei is at the end of his journey, how dare they follow him?

If it weren't for the protection of the direct troops he brought from Liangzhou, Jiang Wei's head would have been cut off long ago.

However, in the face of death, even the direct troops brought by Liangzhou could not hold on. This was obviously a game of dead chess and a hopeless battle. How many of them could truly be regarded as if they were dead?

Jiang Wei tightly held the sword in his hand, and had the urge to commit suicide by slashing his sword. However, he thought for a long time and put down the sword again. He stood up and sorted out the blood-stained armor: "Surrender."

Sima Yi soon met Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei stood upright, raised his head, looked at Sima Yi, and grinned: "I know, you plan to use my head as a gift to Wei Ba. I will give you my wish. I will give you my wish.

There is only one request, I want to see Wei Ba alive. Because, I have a few words to ask him, otherwise I will die with my eyes open."

Sima Yi smiled: "It is better to obey your orders than respect."
