Chapter 911 Cao Pi beheads Cao Zilian in anger

Seeing that everyone was like headless fly, Cao Pi left his eyes on Zhu Shu, who was in charge of the imperial guards.

Zhu Shu felt bad when he saw this. Your Majesty shouldn't be too careful, right? His main responsibility is to protect the safety of Luoyang. As for the meticulous camp entrusted by Jia Xu, he has completed the task of rebelling against the South Central. The rest were exhausted in the Jingbei War and had no spare energy to send people to Guanzhong who are strictly guarding. Your Majesty, don't look at me like this.

"Your Majesty, how did Governor Liang get the news? The north of Bingzhou is the grassland and the Gobi. It is said that it is impossible to understand it so clearly." Zhu Shuo came out of his squad and asked in a low voice.

Cao Pi rebuked sternly: "How else can you get it? Zhang He was defeated and left Xiaoguan and was chased by Huang Zhong to Lingzhou. They walked in the deserted Gobi Desert for a month in the cold wind. How could such a stupid question be heard?"

"Uh, I." Zhu Shuo was scolded and was at a loss.

Zhu Shuo was impatient and relied on his closeness to Cao Pi, he was not in line with the generals in the camp. When everyone saw him being blamed by Cao Pi, they smiled inadvertently, while Cao Pi only remembered that Cao Hong was secretly happy.

Liang Xi's memorial was circulated among civil officials. After reading it, Situ Wang Lang was eager to express his opinion: "Although General Zidan retreated to Wuwei, his troops were not much damaged. Liu Bei urgently occupied so many places and needed to send officials and troops to garrison. At this time, the fierce generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao were all in the border areas. I think that the number of major generals in Guanzhong is few, and Your Majesty can consider sending troops to Tongguan, and maybe he can recover Chang'an in one fell swoop."

"Recover Chang'an? What do I take to take it?" Cao Pi frowned and asked.

Wang Lang stared at Cao Xiu without saying a word, thinking that the old minister was only responsible for making suggestions. As for the dispatch of troops and generals, aren’t there hundreds of thousands of troops around Luoyang?

"Last year, our troops were losing a lot of losses, especially the soldiers infected with the epidemic in Huainan. Not only did they not hurt many Jingzhou soldiers, but the Wei soldiers infected tens of thousands of people in vain. I don't know which one in the hall's superb strategy." Cao Xiu looked around everyone, but no one answered his question.

Cao Pi's ears were hot when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was the poisonous plan offered by Sun Quan's dog-headed military advisor. No wonder Jiangdong was lost so quickly, and even embarrassing himself. It's really not enough to make a mistake.

"After Your Majesty withdraws Huainan's troops, the total number of soldiers in Luoyang and Nanyang is only about 100,000. How can there be enough people to retake Guanzhong?" Cao Xiu paused for a while and continued.

"One hundred thousand is not enough?" Wang Lang blurted out without thinking, but as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xiu retorted: "Guan Yun was in Xiangyang, and he was also in Wan and Luo. Ten thousand people were transferred to Guanzhong. Who would guard against Guan Yu for the sake of this general?"

"Well, I think it's simple, but can't Your Majesty recruit some troops from Hebei, Qing, Yan and other places? Our Wei population always has an advantage." Wang Lang was retorted by Cao Xiu and could correct his mistakes, so he immediately covered up the embarrassment he had just used new questions to cover up.

"Go to recruit soldiers from other places? The newly recruited soldiers will fight against Liu Bei's old soldiers?" Cao Pi said speechlessly. Suddenly he looked at Cao Hong again and asked in a deep voice: "General Cavalry, I once asked you to build armor and train troops. Two years have passed. I wonder how many heavy infantrymen in my Great Wei?"

"Ah? Heavy Infantry?" Cao Hong swallowed his saliva and replied with his fist: "Building heavy armor requires mining and iron smelting, and the money and food required is very huge. Because no one provides it to the sub-general, so."

"So what?" Cao Pi's eyes sterned.

"The last general has not started to make armor yet." Cao Hong lowered his head after saying that, thinking that His Majesty was in a bad mood today, and he could not avoid this scolding.

Cao Pi raised his head and laughed, then said coldly: "Okay, very good. Take my words as fart. General Cavalry is so brave. Can you tell me if you are guilty?"

"Uh, I'll just know that I'm not guilty."

Cao Hong was about to explain, but was interrupted by Cao Pi: "Don't explain, General Cavalry. Since I have given the order, there will naturally be someone who will cooperate with you. How much money is needed to build a armor must be calculated first, right? No one will ask the Grand Marshal to ask? Besides, your family is already rich in money, can't it be possible to advance payment first?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, and you will have no wealth in the end." Cao Hong became a habit of being stingy and answered completely subconsciously.

Cao Pi became more and more angry as he heard it. When he remembered the conflict between the two people in the past, he angrily rebuked: "It's enough. You only have family wealth in your eyes. Which one should take Wei State seriously? Where should I take my words seriously? I should use it as a warning to others. Where is the warrior outside the hall? He pushed out this crazy tyrant and beheaded, and all the property in the family was confiscated."

Beheaded? Even if Cao Hong was not good at all, he was also the founding father of Wei, and he was one of the four ministers of Cao Cao's entrusted to him. Why did Cao Pi want to kill him? And the cause of the incident was not Cao Hong at all. It was like a wild boar making a mistake that angered the tiger, but the tiger finally bit the wolf around him to death. The ministers in the hall, including Cao Hong, were all confused.

When Xu Chu rushed into the hall with the Tiger Guard, the ministers only realized this time.

Chen Qun took the lead in admonishment and said, "Your Majesty asks you to stop Thunder Ting's anger. Although General Zi Lian deceived the emperor and the emperor, he was a entrusted with an important official after all. It is inappropriate to behead him directly. Please think twice."

"The last one is wronged." Cao Hong was controlled by the Hu Guard, and then he realized that Cao Pi was really here, and he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly without caring about his face.

"Your Majesty, what Chen Lingjun said is reasonable, and now the enemy is in front of you, please spare General Zilian's life and keep him guilty and meritorious?" Cao Xiu also stood up and pleaded.

Next, Xiahou Shang, Xu Huang, Dong Zhao and others stood up to plead with mercy, but Cao Pi's face was still covered with dark clouds. Even Xu Chu did not bring people out of the hall immediately. He left time for Cao Pi to consider it again.

"The General of the Cavalry should be punished, but what the ministers said is very reasonable. Why not temporarily put General Zi Lian in prison and make a decision after Dali's trial and conviction?" At the critical moment, Liu Ye stood up and mixed up.

Cao Pi looked at Liu Ye first, then glanced at Chen Qun next to him, thinking that this is the guy you asked me to ask for advice. He is not very active in giving advice to the outside world, but he is good at everything inside and outside.

"Ziyang is right. If you deal with such an important official, you have to go through Dali's interrogation. Zhongkang will take him out of the hall first. I will also discuss military and national affairs with the ministers." Cao Pi waved his hand gently and was forced to accept Liu Ye's suggestion.

"Which." Xu Chu responded with his fists and then rushed Cao Hong out of the hall.

Cao Hong was sitting in the clouds at this time, and he never expected that this was the ending. What does Yong Liang’s affairs have to do with me?

On the way out of the hall and sent to the Heavenly Prison, Cao Hong lowered his figure and begged Xu Chu: "General Xu and I serve the late emperor together. Although we have not had much friendship with each other for many years, can we help me give my family a word for it in the face of the late emperor?"

"General, don't worry, your family will definitely inform you of such a big thing." Xu Chu shook his head gently.

"It's better to be earlier than later, please." Cao Hong's eyes were filled with tears at this time...

Xu Chu finally agreed, and he asked calmly: "What words do you mean?"

"Go and ask the Queen Mother."
