Since it was smuggling, we couldn't take the official road like Zhiguan, so we had to carry the salt bag over Wangwu Mountain and go south to the river.

Then find a small wild ferry and cross the river secretly.

"Taihang and Wangwu Mountains are 700 miles square and 10,000 ren high. They are originally located in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang..."

The "Taihang and Wangwu Mountains" in Yu Gong Yishan refer to Taihang Mountain to the east of Bingzhou and Wangwu Mountain to the southeast of Henan.

These small ferries cannot ferry large armies, but as long as you find a man with excellent boating skills who wants money at all costs, and wait for the opportunity to ferry dozens or even dozens of people, there will be no problem.

"You really have a solution!"

The goddess was delighted.

This was originally one of the secret escape routes Mi Shiyilang found for himself, but now he can only give it to the goddess.

But it can’t be given away for free.

Mi Shiyilang secretly decided in his heart that if this woman lied to him in order to survive, he would have ten thousand ways to make her regret it.

Do you think people with the surname Mi are easy to bully among the Han people?

"It's simply too much!"

The exquisite celadon tea cup was thrown to the floor covered with fine velvet carpet, and rolled in a circle without breaking...

Cao Rui was half lying on the couch, with red eyes and breathing heavily.

Holding on to his sick body, Dong Zheng, his body couldn't bear it anymore.

His cheeks were sunken into two pools, his nose was like an upright piece of wood, and his forehead shone with a dull pale light.

Although he was very angry, he could no longer make a loud sound. He hissed, his throat seemed to be filled with tangled threads:

"You've gone too far, you're a treacherous traitor! You shouldn't have let him leave Luoyang in the first place and imprisoned him until he died!"

Sun Quan's defeat in the south did not make Cao Rui very happy.

Wu people, rat ears!

He commits crimes in the north every year, but has he ever succeeded?

The Shu captives to the west were a serious concern of the Wei Dynasty.

Not to mention that there are rebellious officials and traitors like Sima Yi among them!

A total of fifty thousand Praetorian Guards!

The most trusted general, the most relied on elite army, disappeared so quietly...

Cao Rui cursed, and tears flowed from his sunken eyes:

"I'm sorry Asu, Asu, I'm sorry for you..."

"I shouldn't have let you lead the army to Guanzhong in the first place. I should have brought you to Xuchang..."

After Cao Rui came to Xuchang, he had no way to deal with the government affairs.

All matters in the DPRK are handled by Zhongshu Sheng and Shangshutai.

Liu Fang, Sun Zi and others finally got what they wanted and began to secretly control Cao Rui's external communication channels.

Unless Cao Rui takes the initiative to summon foreign ministers, it will be extremely difficult for the courtiers to enter the palace to have an audience.

But now Cao Rui can remember the people closest to him. How can he still have the energy to remember those foreign ministers?

Therefore, they were not aware of the small actions of Liu Fang, Sun Zi and others at all.

In his eyes, Sun and Liu are still the most trustworthy veterans of the three dynasties.

Sun and Liu have begun to show their ferocious fangs towards their political opponents.

They have been encouraging Cao Rui to march eastward, for what reason?

Isn't it just to prevent Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others from becoming auxiliary ministers?

Now Qin Lang has disappeared, although the way of disappearing is a bit too cruel, which was not the original intention of the two of them.

They don't want to overthrow the Wei Dynasty, but their fate is their own, and the Wei Dynasty belongs to the emperor.

With all their lives lost, what does it mean to them whether the Wei Dynasty collapses or not?

And now they and Sima Yi are in the same boat.

Sima Yi fulfilled their request, and now it's their turn to fulfill Sima Yi's request.

"Is King Yan coming?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is already waiting outside."

"Let him in."

"promise."

King Yan Cao Yu entered the bedroom and did not dare to raise his head. He just saluted in the direction of Cao Rui:

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Cao Rui didn't have the extra energy to talk nonsense. He looked at his great uncle (Cao Yu was the son of Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan) and said straight to the point:

"King Yan, I want to make you a general and help those who come after you to manage the affairs of the court. How about that?"

Cao Yu was so frightened that he quickly fell to the ground:

"I accept your majesty's wrong love, and I am sincerely afraid. However, I am stupid by nature and cannot bear important responsibilities. If your majesty insists on letting me serve as a general, it will harm the country in the future and it will insult your majesty's holy name. Please take back your order."

Looking at Cao Yu's appearance, Cao Rui had a disappointed look on his face.

Now that we've reached this point, isn't my great-uncle still willing to stand up?

He tried to persuade him, but his physical strength was exhausted.

Lian Zhao, who had been standing by the couch, understood, walked to Cao Yu, bent down and whispered:

"King Yan, Your Majesty knows your intention, please come back."

Cao Yu then stood up and respectfully withdrew.

Lian Zhao sent Cao Yu to the door, and Sun and Liu who were guarding the door quickly came over to greet him.

Cao Yu didn't say much, bowed to the two of them, and left.

Sun and Liu looked at Lian Zhao, and Lian Zhao nodded slightly.

Sun Zi and Liu Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the two lieutenants are here."

Lian Zhao returned to Cao Rui and said softly.

Cao Rui, who had been concentrating on concentrating his energy, opened his eyes and sighed:

"The King of Yan is still unwilling to accept the post of general, which really disappoints me."

Sun Zi took a step forward and replied:

"Your Majesty, it may be because King Yan knows whether he can shoulder the important task, so he is like this."

Cao Rui sighed again:

"If King Yan can't take on big responsibilities, then who else can make me feel at ease?"

"Your Majesty, those who can take on important responsibilities are already waiting outside. Why don't Your Majesty summon you and ask about it?"

"who?"

"Cao Zhaobo."

Cao Rui was silent at first, and then simply closed his eyes.

After a long time, he mumbled like he was dreaming: "Cao Shuang?"

"Exactly."

"Where is Chang Si?" (i.e. Cao Zhao)

"Your Majesty, Changshi Cao has not been to the palace for several days."

Cao Rui opened his eyes suddenly and stared at Sun and Liu in front of the couch.

Liu Fang and Sun Zi bowed their heads in silence, seeming to be waiting for Cao Rui to summon Cao Shuang.
