I heard Cao Rui say that he is willing to return to Xudu.

Zhen Mi and Madam Bian were naturally full of joy.

Without saying a word, I went to clean up.

And Cao Pi was not idle, and hurriedly began to mobilize soldiers from various places.

Although the probability of encountering assassins on the way to Xudu is not high.

But now that he has encountered two assassins in succession, Cao Pi is still a little worried.

The Tiger Guards cannot be dispatched.

After all, after Cao Rui left, Xu Chu had to take the Tiger Guards to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Rui took advantage of the opportunity before leaving.

I plan to go to the prison to arrange the funeral of the three assassins.

"Little son, there is a new discovery."

Just when Cao Rui came to the prison, Man Chong said mysteriously.

As he spoke, he took out a beige nephrite accessory from the side.

"What is this?"

Cao Rui couldn't help frowning slightly and said suspiciously.

Man Chong said solemnly:

"The subordinate doesn't know either.

"This thing was found on an assassin.

"Speaking of which, it looks like this nephrite jade should be used by a woman.

"How can it appear on an assassin?"

Man Chong said while rubbing his chin, puzzled.

Cao Rui frowned slightly.

Man Chong was right in saying that this kind of nephrite jade could not appear on an assassin who was a dead man.

But not necessarily female.

However, this piece of jade is extremely warm and looks very valuable.

It should be worn by a person of noble birth.

In other words, this person is very likely to have some connection with the mastermind behind the scenes.

If so...

Obviously it can't be Jiang Dong or someone sent by Liu Bei.

They don't like the habit of carrying this kind of nephrite.

However, among the northern gentry, some people like to wear this kind of nephrite jade accessories.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui became more and more determined to go to Xudu.

Although the main purpose of these assassins was to kill Lu Lingqi and Lingju.

But it is obvious that they have murderous intentions for themselves.

Northern gentry, assassinate...

Things are getting more interesting.

Cao Rui wanted to see how chaotic the north was.

At the same time, Xudu.

A middle-aged man with a stern face and an official uniform was squinting his eyes and looking at the letter in his hand.

This person is none other than Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.

"Wen Ruo, has the Prime Minister replied?"

"Can you say when will you be back? 35

Cui Yan on the side asked anxiously.

Cui Yan, courtesy name Ji Gui, was a famous official of the Cui family in Qinghe County.

His reputation was far away, and his morality was high, so he had a good relationship with Xun Yu.

Although he had followed Yuan Shao before, he was still loyal after following Cao Cao.

"The Prime Minister said..."

Xun Yu couldn't help but sighed deeply and said solemnly:

"The prime minister has no plans to come back.

"It seems that the Prime Minister does not plan to return to Xudu before he pacifies Jiangdong.

Hearing this, Cui Yan's face froze, and then helplessly said:

"Xun Ling-Jun, this..."

"What did the Prime Minister say in this letter?"

Xun Yu said solemnly:

"I just said that I want the young master to come back, and make the young master the shepherd of Xuzhou, and return to Xudu to take over the post of prime minister. 95

Cui Yan nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"It seems that the Prime Minister is determined not to come back. 35

"It's just... Young Master Cao Pi is still too young, I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed. 35

Xun Yu looked at Cui Yan and said word by word:

"It's not Young Master Cao Pi.

"It's the little boy."

"Cao Rui.""

Cao Rui?!

Hearing these two words, Cui Yan didn't react at first.

But then, he suddenly woke up:

"But Cao Pi's son, Cao Rui?"

Xun Yu nodded silently.

Now, Cui Yan was completely dumbfounded:

"What...the Prime Minister, what does this mean?

"It's fine if you let Young Master Cao Pi come back and take charge of the overall situation temporarily. 99

"Young Master Cao Rui... I remember he was only five years old, right?"

Xun Yu also sighed deeply.

He really didn't understand why Cao Rui was dispatched.

Naturally, he didn't know anything about the front line, he just knew the outcome.

Right now, there are many gentry, and many people with evil hearts abound.

Under such circumstances, how could Cao Rui be able to suppress it?

I'm afraid that Cao Rui's coming will only add to the jokes.

But in the envelope that Cao Cao brought back, the tone was full of doubts.

Xun Yu, who had followed Cao Cao for many years, knew very well.

At this time, Cao Cao, no matter what he said, he would not listen.

Cui Yan also seemed to know that the matter had been decided, and no longer asked, but instead said:

"Wen Ruo, do you think the Prime Minister is fighting Jiangdong this time, even at the risk of turmoil in the north.

"Where is his mind?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Cui Yan's implication is obvious.

In fact, the safest way to attack Jiangdong this time is to proceed gradually.

It is not easy to take Jiangdong down by itself.

Even Sun Jian and Sun Ce in those days took a long time to pacify Jiangdong.

Nowadays, it takes years and months to attack Jiangdong all the way from the Yangtze River.

However, in this situation, Cao Cao still chose to attack.

It's a matter of all costs and consequences.

This is enough to see that Cao Cao is very likely to have disloyalty to Han.

In this world, Cao Ahou fought for him.

"The Prime Minister's intention, I should not speculate on my own. 35

Although his heart was like a mirror, Xun Yu still opened his mouth and said.

At this time, Cao Cao was still the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

It's all just guesswork.

"Prime Minister this year, three out of fifty..."

Cui Yan took a long sigh, left the last sentence and turned to leave.

Three out of fifty...

It is said that fifty knows the destiny.

Cao Cao's move, I am afraid, is no longer to conquer the world for the Han, but to conquer the world for the younger generation.

Xun Yu tried his best to restrain himself and didn't think about it.

The question now is why Cao Cao sent Cao Rui to come and give Cao Rui such great power.

Xun Yu did not know how talented Cao Rui was.

Therefore, Cao Cao did this, in the eyes of Xun Yu, it only explained one point.

Cao Cao wanted to inform the world through this matter.

He is already covering the sky with one hand.

Even sending a five-year-old child can still shock the universe and intimidate the north.

This time Cao Rui came on personal leave, mainly to bring the army back.

For some reason, Xun Yu felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

"Cao Mengde, if you really have the heart to usurp the Han.

"Then... I'm sorry I can't follow."

Xun Yu muttered to himself, his voice so small that only he could hear it.

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

"How was the battle at Tongguan?"

After clearing up his mood, Xun Yu summoned the Chinese martial arts in the city and asked.

Xiahou Yuan said solemnly:

"Yesterday, the battle report came, that Ma Teng and Han Sui were still outside Tongguan. 35

"Although Tiger and Leopard Riders have fought against the Xiliang army many times, each with casualties.

"But Ma Teng has no intention of retreating, and it seems that there is still a slight tendency to attack."

"I'm afraid, Tongguan needs to add more manpower support."

Hearing this, the generals could not help but sigh.

The situation in Tongguan may not be delayed any longer.

Tigers and leopards ride 5,000, and the army is 100,000.

It has been stationed in Tongguan for many days.

But the Xiliang army not only did not withdraw, but continued to gather troops.

Moreover, it also joined the Qiang Hu people and Wuhuan leader Wuchen to come.

Although Ke Bi, the leader of Xianbei, who had been loyal to Cao Wei, was trying his best to maintain it, it seemed that he had failed.

This three-way army is approaching Tongguan.

No matter how powerful the tiger and leopard cavalry is, they will not be their opponents at all.

The defenders cannot be lost everywhere.

With only these 100,000 people, they can only defend Tongguan.

It has now reached a precarious point.

If Cao Cao did not come back to preside over the overall situation at this time.

I'm just afraid that the three-way army will attack and kill Xudu all the way sooner or later.

Right now, everyone in the courtroom is in danger.

The situation was out of Xun Yu's control.

"The Prime Minister hasn't said when he will return to Xudu?"'"

Xiahou Yuan asked eagerly.

At this moment, Cui Yan said in a cold tone:

"The letter from the prime minister has arrived today.""

"Now the Prime Minister is determined to attack Jiangdong."

"This time, one person was sent to Xudu to take charge of the north.""

Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and other generals couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Le Jin said suspiciously:

"Who did the prime minister send?'99

Although Le Jin only knows how to fight, he doesn't know how to get power in court.

But he also knew in his heart.

Today's situation in the north, most people really can't surrender.

Even sending Cao Pi here would probably be of no avail.

Not to mention Cao Zhi.

"This person is the young son of today, Cao Rui, the eldest son of son Huan."5

When he said this, there was a hint of displeasure in Cui Yan's tone.

Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin were stunned for a moment, and then said with shock:

"Is this true?"

"Is the young master really sent to Xudu?"

Xun Yu sighed helplessly and said:

"indeed so."

"But don't worry, everyone, Cheng Tong also sent 100,000 troops to help defend the 3.1 Tongguan."

Xiahou Yuan said excitedly:

"If the young master comes, there is no need for an army of 100,000! 95

"Young master can come alone!"

Le Jin also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, saying:

"Since the prime minister sent the young master here. 35

"It seems that the situation in Jiangdong has stabilized, it is only a matter of time!

Xun Yu and Cui Yan were dumbfounded when they heard what you said and what they said.

what's going on?

Originally, they thought that when they heard the news, everyone would be extremely shocked and helpless.

But never thought that Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, and the rest of the generals would be a little excited?

Cui Yan asked in confusion:

"The young master is only five years old this year, so why is he happy to be in charge of the North? 35

"The young master is still young, General Miaocai, General Wen Qian, why are you so happy?"

Xiahou Yuan waved his hand:

"Why not happy?"

"Do you know who broke Kong Ming's strategy in Jiangdong?

"Then who can break Zhou Yu's strategy?"

"Diseases are rampant in the army, who healed them?"

Hearing these three consecutive questions, Cui Yan was a little stunned.

He did know these things, but he didn't know who did them.

"Isn't it the handwriting of Zhong De and Wen He?"

Xun Yu asked suspiciously.

"It's the little boy!
