Chapter 526 Zhang Lu goes first(1/2)
Cao Pi thought to himself, even if Xi Yu really won, what benefits will it be for Liu Xie?
So Liu Xie is simply too mean.
Cao Pi discussed with several confidants how to face the enemy.
"There are no outsiders here, and you should also understand that this Xi Yu is not an ordinary person. In terms of competition, we are not sure of winning."
The faces of several confidants were also very ugly, because Xi Yu said something that no one dared to say.
Yes, these words cannot be said to the soldiers, but it doesn’t matter if they discuss them here, because they are all Cao Pi’s confidants.
However, the few confidants had no better way, which made Cao Pi even more irritable.
"It's simply outrageous. When you use it, you don't have any ability. So what's the use of it?"
Cao Pi then lost his temper.
The few people had to listen and didn't dare to refute it at all.
After a while, Cao Pi got angry and waved his hand.
He knew that losing his temper was useless and blaming them.
Now that Xi Zhicai has left, Sima Yi has been killed by himself, he feels that there are really no one around him.
However, he did not think it was his own sin, but thought that these two people betrayed him, which was simply too hateful.
Yes, they are simply disgusting.
After a few people retreated, Cao Pi suddenly felt a coldness around him.
In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, Zhang Lu climbed up to look at the distance, and his face showed joy. He learned that Xi Yu was about to attack Cao Pi, and he was secretly grateful.
During this period, with Xi Yu's policy promotion, the Wudou Rice Cult has spread more and more widely in the Sichuan and Shu areas and other places, and the number of church members has continued to increase.
Zhang Lu was very satisfied with this development and decided to lead a group of people to assist Xi Yu in attacking Cao Pi.
It can also be regarded as repaying Xi Yu to a certain extent.
On this day, Zhang Lu summoned the soldiers and said enthusiastically: "Brothers, Cao Pi is unrighteous and harming the people. Now, King Xi Yu intends to attack, which is the moment for us to uphold justice! Let's set off and add some barriers to Cao Pi first and eliminate harm to the people!"
His meaning was to bother Cao Pi for a while, and when Xi Yu actually beat him, he became even more worried.
However, Ma Wenjun had an opinion.
"General. Is this necessary?"
Zhang Lu was very unhappy when he heard this, so he asked Ma Wenjun what it meant.
Ma Wenjun said: "General, Xi Yu's power is indeed powerful, and it is easy to attack Cao Pi. If we participate, it will undoubtedly be a meaningless sacrifice."
His thoughts gradually came to the hearts of many soldiers, and many people began to shake.
When Zhang Lu heard Ma Wenjun's remarks, he was very angry.
His eyes widened, with majestic voice in his voice.
"You must know how to be grateful! Xi Yu has been kind to us, and now is the time for us to repay our kindness. Ma Wenjun, you are cholera morale, don't mention this kind of thing again!"
Zhang Lu knew very well that loyalty and morality were the cornerstones of the army. He made up his mind that no matter how strong Xi Yu was, he would show sincerity.
The soldiers fell into deep thought and felt Zhang Lu's determination and determination.
After hearing this, Ma Wenjun had no choice but to stop saying it
Zhang Lu's eyes were firm, and he looked at the soldiers with a loud voice.
"Let us prove our sincerity with actions! Regardless of success or failure of Xi Yu, we must do our best and be ashamed of our hearts!"
The soldiers straightened their bodies and responded to Zhang Lu's call.
The faith in their hearts was rekindled and they were determined to fight for loyalty and gratitude.
Zhang Lu's eyes were firm and he stared ahead.
He turned around and said to Ma Wenjun, "Ma Wenjun, you have to move forward with me. I don't allow you to say that anymore. We must do our best."
Although Ma Wenjun agreed, he did not agree.
He thought to himself: "These people have gone, after all, there will be sacrifices. Is it really necessary?"
On a sunny morning, Xi Yu led his team to continue his journey.
The sun shines on them, reflecting their firm faces. They walked through a village outside, and unexpectedly, the people here came to greet them.
The road was filled with enthusiastic people.
They claimed that they were welcomed by Xi Yu.
Xi Yu was very surprised, so he stopped and started communicating with the people.
The sun shines on Xi Yu and his team.
The people held various local specialties and food, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation.
They automatically presented these precious items to Xi Yu, expressing their gratitude and support for him.
"King, I hope you will never refuse some of our people's wishes."
"King, we have expected you to pass by our place, and we have been waiting for it for several days."
Seeing the simple faces, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu looked at each other and felt very relieved.
Xi Yu deeply felt the sincerity of the people, but he smiled and refused.
He walked forward and said to the people in a gentle voice: "Growing grain is a very hard thing, and these grains are the crystallization of your hard work. We have enough military rations and are unwilling to cause trouble for everyone."
The people were a little sad after hearing Xi Yu's words.
"King, the situation this year is getting better. If we have surplus food, don't be polite."
"Yes, people in every place hope that you can occupy it so that the people can live a good life."
But no matter what, Xi Yu insisted on not accepting these grains.
Xi Yu continued: "We have understood everyone's feelings, but we hope that everyone can keep the food and eat it by themselves. Only when you live well can we guard our homes with more peace of mind."
The people were moved, and they understood Xi Yu's good intentions.
Although they were a little disappointed, they were more respect and love for Xi Yu.
Soon someone burst into warm applause, and the applause became one after another.
In this warm atmosphere, Xi Yu and the people communicate with each other and their hearts are closer.
An old man came up and said excitedly: "King, we see your kindness and courage. We specially compiled a song to express our respect and praise for you."
Then, the old man led everyone to sing the ballad:
"The king of opera fights bravely on the battlefield, and foreign enemies are terrified when they hear the news. They are extremely intelligent and capable in breaking the enemy's formation and protecting the country and the people."
The enthusiasm of the people touched Yu Yu deeply, and his eyes were moist.
He bowed deeply to the people and expressed his gratitude.
Xi Yu said to everyone loudly: "Thank you for your support and trust! I will live up to expectations and fight for everyone's peace!"
The old man nodded and said, "Since that's the case, don't delay the king's journey. Let's get out of here."
The people immediately made way, like well-trained soldiers.
Amid the cheers of the people, Xi Yu and others continued to embark on the journey.
The sun is shining and the breeze blows, their steps are even more firm, and their hearts are filled with fighting spirit and hope.
Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun again. Although he didn't say anything, both of them understood what each other was thinking.
Only by truly being good to the people can the people be truly good to you, and the people don’t want much, as long as they satisfy their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Xi Yu naturally thought of this, and he remembered some corrupt officials in his previous life.
The people are actually very satisfied, but many people insist on fishing for the people, which is really hateful.
The sky in Luoyang City is gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if a storm is coming.
Cao Pi's face was gloomy and he listened to the emergency battle report from the spies ahead.
"Duke Cao and Zhang Lu led his army to attack Luoyang and have approached the city gate."
The spy said in a panic and reported the latest battle situation to Cao Pi.
After hearing this, Cao Pi was so angry that he slapped the table. Anger flashed in his eyes, and he was so angry that he couldn't be angry.
"What? Doesn't he know his weight, Zhang Lu, this little thief? He dares to challenge the authority of this marquis!"
However, Cao Pi also clearly remembered that he suffered a great loss in the last confrontation with Zhang Lu.
Therefore, he did not dare to take it lightly and immediately ordered a fight.
"Call all the generals and prepare for battle! Don't let Zhang Lu succeed!" Cao Pi's voice was determined to defend his city and defend his dignity.
Inside and outside Luoyang City, soldiers were busy preparing fortifications. Flags were flying on the city walls, and drums were shaking the sky.
Cao Pi, wearing heavy armor, climbed up to the city wall himself and inspected the battle situation. His eyes were firm and sharp, as if he could see the enemy's every move through the fog.
