Cao Pi sat in the camp, frowning with his brows, and his heart was full of doubts. He thought to himself: "According to Xi Yu's personality, he should have led his troops to attack him long ago. Why has it been a few days since there has been no movement?"

He turned around and said to the generals beside him, "Send someone out to find out, see what Ji Yu is doing, and where he is now." The general took the order and left.

At this time, the sky outside the camp was gloomy, as if a storm was coming.

Cao Pi's mood was like this weather, with a shady and sunny day. He knew that the outcome of a war was often just a matter of thought, and any small mistake could lead to a loss in the whole game.

After a while, the general will come back to report.

"Si Gong, according to the spies' reward, Xi Yu's army seems to encounter heavy rain often, so it's stopped and stopped along the way."

After hearing this, Cao Pi felt a little relieved, but at the same time he became more alert.

"Tell me the order and strengthen your vigilance, and don't relax at all!" Cao Pi said loudly. The generals took the order one after another, and the entire camp was in a state of tense combat readiness.

The scorching sun was in the middle of the scorching sun. Cao Pi was having a break in the camp, and his sleepiness gradually came. He closed his heavy eyes and fell asleep.

In his dream, he was in a gloomy battlefield, surrounded by a strong breath of death.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, and it was Sima Yi.

Sima Yi's face was pale, and his eyes revealed deep sorrow and dissatisfaction.

He said to Cao Pi sadly: "Why are you so cruel to put me to death?"

Cao Pi said: "Sima Yi, you are going to assassinate me first, otherwise how could I have such an idea?"

Sima Yi sneered: "You sacrifice everything for your ambitions. Then why did you snatch my daughter?"

A trace of guilt appeared on Cao Pi's face.

Sima Yi shouted angrily: "Your methods are too cruel, you have lost the bottom line of being a human being!"

Cao Pi was speechless, the scene in the dream became more and more blurred, and Sima Yi's figure gradually disappeared.

He woke up from his dream, his heart full of uneasiness and guilt.

He sat beside the bed and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a soldier walked in.

He is a confidant of Cao Pi.

The soldier knelt on the ground, his body trembled slightly, and he did not dare to look up.

"What happened?"

"Duke Cao, some soldiers in the military camp were abandoned. They privately discussed your killing of Sima Yi, believing that you were too cruel and not a famous master. Moreover, some soldiers had received favor from Sima Yi, so they were indignant about this matter. If the long term continues, it may affect morale."

Cao Pi's fists clenched and made a giggle, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

He never expected that his soldiers would have an objection to him.

"These ignorant bastards! They deserve to die." Cao Pi scolded angrily.

The soldier bowed his head and said nothing, not daring to respond.

Cao Pi stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, his anger could not calm down.

He knew very well that if this situation was not resolved in time, it would have a serious impact on the morale of the army.

He really wants to find these talkative soldiers now and kill them, but he is also afraid, which will have a greater impact on morale.

But if you don’t punish, you can’t swallow this.

He looked at the soldier and found that the soldier clearly had something to say.

"If you have anything to say, it's okay. You are my confidant."

The soldier knelt on the ground, straightened his chest, and looked at Cao Pi with a firm look. His voice was trembling, but he said extremely firmly: "Duke Cao, the enemy is in front of him, and any movement in the army will affect morale. For the sake of the overall situation, you must show an attitude. No matter what you think in your heart, you must apologize for Sima Yi's affairs."

Cao Pi was shocked after hearing this. He did not expect that the other party would come up with such a bad idea, which was surprising.

Seeing that Cao Pi did not respond, the soldier said: "Mr. Cao, my subordinates know that this suggestion may make you feel unhappy, but the situation is urgent now, and we need to take measures to stabilize the morale of the army. Only when you show your attitude to everyone can the soldiers regain their trust in you. Please think twice!"

Cao Pi stared at the soldiers, and the anger in his heart gradually turned into helplessness.

He understood that the soldiers' starting point was good, but it really made him feel embarrassed to ask him to apologize to the soldiers.

Cao Pi took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

He walked up to the soldier, reached out to help him up, and said slowly: "I will consider your suggestions, but apology is not easy. I need to think about how to deal with them properly."

"Mr. Cao, you should think about it quickly, don't have to spend too many dreams at night."

Cao Pi nodded, and he suddenly remembered Han Xin. In order to accomplish the big thing, Han Xin was willing to be humiliated by the crotch?

He knew that stabilizing the morale of the army was crucial, and it seemed that he really wanted to apologize for Sima Yi's affairs.

Afterwards, Cao Pi asked the soldier to go out first and he had to think about it carefully before talking about it.

He suddenly realized that life was even more messy and made him feel overwhelmed.

Unlike Cao Pi's overwhelming slap, Xi Yu is particularly relaxed.

Between the green mountains and clear waters, Xi Yu led the soldiers to stroll through it.

They admire the magnificent natural scenery and feel particularly comfortable.

Xi Yu said to the soldiers: "Don't be stressed, we are not doing our job properly. Appropriate relaxation can make us feel happier, so that we can be more calm on the battlefield."

The soldiers nodded one after another, and they felt Xi Yu's care and understanding.

In such an environment, they seemed to forget that they were marching and fighting, but were on a pleasant trip.

Xi Yu looked at the mountains in the distance and raised his mouth slightly.

He knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time before Cao Pi would be destroyed by himself sooner or later.

Anyway, things are not particularly urgent, it doesn’t matter day by day.

The purpose of his doing this is to prevent everyone from under too much pressure.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu stood quietly in a corner, whispering.

"Our army has not arrived in Luoyang, so Cao Pi must have begun to wonder at this moment." Zhou Yu said softly.

His eyes were set in the distance, as if he could see Cao Pi's puzzled expression.

Zhao Yun nodded.

"Yes, it was delayed by rain some time ago, otherwise we would have arrived long ago."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"But this is good, just to make Cao Pi unable to understand our reality. When he relaxes his vigilance, we will suddenly attack and will definitely defeat him in one fell swoop."

Xi Yu was also considering a problem when he was traveling around, and several wives were waiting for their return at home.

They are all thinking about their own safety. They also hope to end this war and leave quickly, so they can continue to play.

But if there is no rain, don't take the next step too slowly.

On this day, the sun shone through the windows of the temple in Xiyu Mansion and sprinkled on Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong.

They sat quietly in the small Buddhist temple to worship Buddha.

The Buddhist temple was filled with faint sandalwood.

It reflects a sacred glory like it.

After a while, Xiaohong said softly: "Miss, I guess the king has arrived in Luoyang now and caught Cao Pi off guard."

Ouyang Linlin's eyes still fell on the Buddha statue.

She frowned slightly and said softly: "I just hope that he can return safely, nothing else matters."

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong left the Buddhist temple and returned to the house. Sun Shangxiang happened to come and said she was coming to chat with them to relieve her boredom.

Ouyang Linlin smiled and asked Sun Shangxiang to sit down.

"Did you two go to worship Buddha just now?" Sun Shangxiang asked quickly.

Xiaohong was very surprised.

"Madam Sun, how do you know about this?"

"Because I smell the agarwood on your body." Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but smile with her lips, so she had such an association.

She said softly: "My mother, Wu Guotai, will burn incense and chant scriptures in front of the Buddha every day, and she is extremely pious. Even if someone step on an ant to death, she will feel particularly heartbroken."

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, she was overjoyed and her eyes were filled with excitement.

She said anxiously: "Is that so? I really hope to have the opportunity to meet Wu Guotai in the future. I want to discuss with her the Buddha's tribute."

Sun Shangxiang nodded with a smile.

"I believe there will be opportunities in the future."

She also wrote a letter to her mother a few days ago and learned that her mother was very healthy.

Speaking of my mother, I remembered my hometown and the situation when I was in Jiangnan. At that time, I was a young lady with no choice but to be in trouble and had a particularly arrogant and unreasonable temper.

Just like when she was about to marry Xi Yu, she still came here with a tough time and didn't like it myself, but she didn't expect that she had completely changed her mind now.
