Liao Hao did not deny that there was no chance for a defeat. He took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "And we will keep a low profile in the future. This time, Jia Xu, a mad dog, will hate me. We are in Luoyang. The spies on the outskirts of the city are all lost!"

"Is Jia Wenhe so difficult to deal with?"

Sima Lang was a little surprised, he was not very familiar with Jia Xu, he only knew that this person was in charge of ghost soldiers, elusive and ruthless.

"You should ask Brother Ling!"

"Zhongda?"

"Brother Ling has cooperated with Jia Xu and almost killed the chief governor of our Jinyiwei, and he should have personally learned Jia Xu's methods!"

"It seems that you really need to be careful with this person!"

Sima Lang's expression turned serious.

"Jia Xu has been biting our Jinyiwei very tightly during this period, so I will leave Luoyang soon. If I, the commander of the hidden guard, falls into his hands, I may not be able to survive it!"

Liao Hao raised his head, looked at the handsome young man Sima Lang, and said: "In the future, the person in charge of Luoyang Jinyiwei will be the master of Jinse Yage, and I hope you can provide more protection from it. Luoyang City is the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. Every news here It is possible that it is a secret of Wei Jun, and we estimate that we will hit the city soon in the future. So this place is very important!"

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Sima Lang nodded.

"By the way, as far as I know, your Sima family has already bowed their heads?" Liao Hao said suddenly.

"Ok!"

Sima Lang nodded calmly: "We have to bow our heads. If we don't bow our heads, there will be no Sima family after today. Cao Pi, as Cao Cao's own son, will end up like this. If we resist, we will definitely die!"

"I understand this, but now the power of the Sima family is in the hands of Sima Fang and Sima Yi. This is not good for you. You should think clearly. You were recruited by His Majesty himself. Because of this, I am willing to trust you. But my ability is limited. At present, I can report it because of your value. With the Sima family, your value will be even greater, and you will be able to be reused by the governor, and you will be able to get a seat in the Great Wu Dynasty in the future!" Liao Hao reminded.

"I see!"

When Sima Lang heard this, his face twitched.Clenching his fists slightly, with wild hope in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will take down the Sima family!"

in the palace.

Government Affairs Hall.

Cao Cao, dressed in a black brocade dragon robe, was sitting in front of the imperial book case, his eyes reviewing each of the memorials.During this period of time, too many affairs have accumulated, making the entire court seem to have come to a standstill.

And standing in front of him at this time were Prince Cao Ang, Prime Minister Xun Yu, General Zhang Liao, Minister of the Young House Xun You, and Commander of Ghosts Jia Xu.

"Your Majesty, Cao Pi has been executed!"

Outside the main hall.Eunuch Cao Leng shouted.

"Pass down my order to let Cao Zhang collect his body in person, without making a fuss or publicity, and bury him in the imperial mausoleum!" Cao Cao raised his head, with a complex light in his eyes, and passed down an oral order very directly.

Letting himself personally order the killing of his son made his heart ache, his grief and indignation, his resentment... In the end, there was nothing left but helplessness.

A person is on the throne and shoulders the responsibility of the country, so he cannot help himself too much.

"promise!"

After a response from outside the hall, the footsteps left quietly.

"Father..."

Prince Cao Ang couldn't bear the cold and silent atmosphere in the hall, he raised his head, looked at Cao Cao's expression, and couldn't help crying out.

"Do you want to ask me why I must kill him, don't you?" Cao Cao interrupted him.

He knew Cao Ang's thoughts, even if Cao Pi committed a heinous crime, as his son, as long as he was placed under house arrest, it would be an explanation, but he must kill him, which made Cao Ang puzzled.

"Ok!"

Cao Ang was taken aback for a moment, and nodded quickly.

Cao Cao smiled coldly: "Zixiu, no matter how many crimes Cao Zihuan has committed, as a father, I can definitely keep him, but the current situation in Great Wei wants him to die. Only his head can calm the Great Wei." The turmoil in the country is not because I want to kill him, but because the Great Wei wants him to die!"

Cao Pi's death was not a crime, but the current situation forced it.

The Guandong is completely lost, and the people in the Guanzhong must be in chaos. Only by killing can the situation be controlled.

He must kill one person to stabilize the situation. This is killing chickens and monkeys, and the target is no more important than Cao Pi, because Cao Pi is his son, so even with tears in his eyes, he will kill Cao Pi to stabilize the overall situation.

"The current situation?"

Xun Yu and the others understood it, but Cao Ang still half-understood.

Cao Cao looked at his expression and shook his head. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't say anything. This kind of thing needs his own political wisdom to comprehend.

"Wen Yuan, how is the situation in the army?" Cao Cao turned his head, put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Zhang Liao and asked.

"Your Majesty, in the battle between Youzhou and Guanzhong, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties!"

Zhang Liao smiled wryly: "The Wei army reorganized twelve guards. Except for the main force of the two guards guarding the border of Bashu Han, the other ten guards were almost all disabled and suffered heavy casualties. There was also the Qingzhou Navy, Cai Mao died in battle, and the other soldiers did not surrender. That is to die in battle, the whole army is wiped out, the generals trained by us, those who died, those who surrendered and surrendered, can come back alive, less than half of them, their strength has been greatly reduced!"

"Regroup!"

Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then recruit troops and replenish our troops!"

"Your Majesty, the situation in Guanzhong is already very tense, and it is only now that it has stabilized. If we go to recruit young men to replenish our troops, let alone whether our food logistics can withstand it, this news may cause public outrage! " Xun Yu said quickly.

"Wen Ruo, I understand what you said, but do I have any other choice?"

"Your Majesty, we can take our time to rectify. After this battle, although we suffered heavy casualties, the Wu army also suffered heavy casualties. It is impossible for them to attack Guanzhong in a short period of time, and Ma Chao of Liangzhou is resisting, and they have no ability. Call in!"

"well said!"

Cao Cao's eyes were cold: "But do you think this peaceful period can last for one year, two years, or three years? How much time do we have? The general situation is in Dongwu, as long as they are relieved, they will not come in." ?"

"will not!"

Everyone looked gloomy and their hearts were heavy.

Because they all know that Wu Jun will launch a full-scale offensive one day, and this day is not far away.

"I know that there is an idiom called Gu Ze Er Yu!"

Cao Cao's eyes showed a hint of helpless indifference: "I don't want to be the person who fixes the lake and fishes, but the current situation in our Great Wei, if we don't fix the lake and fish, we will starve to death. There are not enough troops. As long as we block it, as long as we can win, we still have a glimmer of hope!"

"But..." Xun Yu still couldn't bear it.

"No but!"
