"Is Zhongda also here to look for the second young master?" Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with a smile.
"Isn't Zhongmou the same?" Sima Yi also replied to Sun Quan.
The conversation between smart people was simple. The two of them looked at each other and knew what the other was thinking.
They smiled at each other and stepped into Cao Pi's mansion.
"Lord Sun Quan, Lord Sima Yi." The two of them walked into Cao Pi's mansion and someone came forward to salute them.
These two people were regular guests in the mansion and Cao Pi also valued them very much.
"Where is the second young master?" Sun Quan asked the servant.
"This is the second young master, the second young master." The servant stammered, not knowing how to answer.
"The two young masters came at the right time. Hurry, go and persuade the second young master!" A man named Steward Mo Yang came out. This man was by Madam Bian's side and had taken care of Cao Pi since he was young. After Cao Pi opened the mansion, he followed and took the position of steward.
For this old steward, Cao Pi was like his own child. Now that Cao Pi, the second young master, came back, his expression was not right and he locked himself in the study. How could he not be anxious?
When he saw Sun Quan and Sima Yi, he invited them.
"Lead the way!" Sun Quan and Sima Yi did not say much and the two of them followed the old steward to the Cao Mansion's study.
Before they reached the courtyard of the study, they heard a burst of roars coming from the study.
It was accompanied by the sound of all kinds of things falling to the ground.
"Second young master, second young master, outside the mansion, Lord Sun Quan and Lord Sima Yi ask for an audience!" The old steward whispered outside the study.
"No!" Cao Pi's voice that contained luck came out.
"This!" The old steward was also helpless. He thought that the two people that the second young master had always valued could divert the second young master's attention, but who would have thought that the second young master would refuse.
He could only look at Sun Quan and Sima Yi to see what the two of them could do.
Sun Quan was also stunned for a moment, but then the corners of his mouth raised and he laughed loudly. "Haha, second young master, Brother Zhongda and I took the liberty to visit, please forgive us!"
After saying that, Sun Quan pushed open the door of the study and went in. Several of Cao Pi's guards wanted to stop him, but they were stopped by the housekeeper, allowing Sun Quan to stride into the study.
As soon as he entered the study, the first thing he saw was a mess and Cao Pi, whose eyes were filled with anger.
"It's you!" When Cao Pi saw Sun Quan, the sternness in his eyes didn't disappear.
"Who allowed you to let them in? From tomorrow onwards, I don't want to see any of you in the Cao Mansion." Cao Pi stared coldly at the guards guarding the study.
"Ahhh!" This time, the group of guards was dumbfounded. This Sun didn't want to see them in the Cao Residence anymore. If they were expelled from the Cao Residence, who would dare to take them in? Who would dare to offend Cao Pi?
"Please forgive us, Second Young Master. Please forgive us, Second Young Master." The two guards suddenly became uneasy. They kowtowed to Cao Pi and begged for forgiveness.
"Second Young Master, do you really have to vent your anger on these two small fries when you were in the King's mansion?" Sun Quan actually started to argue with Cao Pi.
"What did you say!" Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and stared at Sun Quan. His eyes were already filled with killing intent. "Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? Or do you think that you, who lost to your own brother and Liu Mang, have anything to teach me? "
Sun Quan's heart was also filled with anger. As the saying goes, don't expose a person's shortcomings when scolding, don't hit a person's face when beating.
Cao Pi's words were like a slap to the face.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Sun Quan also piled up a smile on his face. "This Sun is the general of a defeated army. How can I be brave? Second Young Master is the descendant of the heavens. Your authority is the same as these two guards. It's just that they are closer to Second Young Master."
Sun Quan's words slowly calmed Cao Pi's anger.
"Sima Yi?" Cao Pi also saw Sima Yi behind Sun Quan.
"Speak, why are the two of you here?" Cao Pi had suffered in front of Cao Cao, but no matter what, he was still the second young master of this Cao Wei. He still had a lot of authority.
"Nothing else. We're here to help Second Young Master and resolve your troubles," Sun Quan said.
Cao Pi didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Sun Quan to see what he would say.
"Second Young Master, are you worried about Young Master Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi?" Sun Quan asked.
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not? " Cao Pi rolled his eyes and said, "That Zhou Buyi is just a brat. How dare he humiliate me in front of the palace? I want nothing more than to eat his bones and eat his flesh."
Everything had started with this Zhou Buyi.
If he hadn't laughed out loud, Cao Cao wouldn't have attracted Cao Chong, and Cao Cao wouldn't have allowed them to follow the army into battle. Moreover, there wouldn't have been a military advisor.
Now, not only did this brat almost put him on the spot, but he had also taken away power from him, Cao Pi.
As the saying went, before the three armies moved, the provisions would move first. This was enough to see the importance of provisions.
Cao Cao had given Cao Pi this responsibility because he wanted to test him and nurture him as a future successor. Now that Cao Chong had interfered, how could Cao Pi not be angry?
"Second Young Master, even though Little Young Master and Zhou Buyi have taken a share of power from you, this is still an opportunity for us!" Sun Quan continued.
"Opportunity?" Cao Pi looked at Sun Quan.
"Second Young Master, is there anyone in the military who doesn't know of you?" There was a hidden meaning behind Sun Quan's words. In other words, everyone in the military logistics department was Cao Pi's subordinate.
"Hmph!" Cao Pi snorted coldly. His expression was naturally aloof. Cao Pi wasn't a simple person. After Lao Cao transferred the logistics responsibility from Xun Yu, Cao Pi had fallen into Cao Pi's hands.
This position fell into Cao Pi's hands. Cao Pi was still very good at eliminating dissidents.
All the old men from Xun Yu's era had either submitted or been kicked out by Cao Pi for various reasons. The people in charge of important matters were all Cao Pi's men. It could be said that the current military logistics only knew Cao Pi and not Cao Cao.
"While the King gave the Young Master the authority, he also didn't give me a chance. The King wants the Young Master to be in charge of military logistics and be in charge of the provisions. He wants to test Cao Chong. What if Cao Chong messes up?" Sun Quan looked at Cao Pi with a smile.
Cao Pi's eyes lit up. That's right, why didn't I think of that?
"What do you mean?" Cao Pi asked vaguely.
"Before the three armies move, provisions move first. His Majesty's expedition to Yangzhou is an important matter. If it is delayed because of provisions, haha!" Sun Quan didn't finish his sentence.
However, Cao Pi understood the situation.
If it was delayed because of Cao Chong, he would be scolded by Cao Cao. However, Cao Chong wouldn't be able to escape either.
Cao Cao couldn't do anything to Cao Chong while scolding him. However, Zhou Buyi would become a scapegoat and take the blame.
Hearing Sun Quan's words, Cao Pi was suddenly enlightened.
In the past, when Cao Chong was favored, Cao Pi couldn't do anything to him. He couldn't tell on him.
Now that Cao Chong had come to Cao Pi's territory, it was no longer up to Cao Chong to decide.
"Zhongmou is indeed my lucky star." Cao Pi wasn't stingy with his praise.
Sima Yi didn't say anything. He just looked at Sun Quan and Cao Pi. His intuition told him that Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou weren't simple.
…
While Yan Province had started to take action, Yi Province had also started to take action.
"Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng, quickly, quickly help me contact Liu Mang. No, no, contact His Highness, King of Han." Liu Zhang was really anxious. He was facing enemies on both sides. Whether it was Zhang Lu or Zhao Wei, they were both pressuring him to the point that he couldn't breathe.
Liu Zhang planned to make some money before contacting Liu Mang. However, he didn't expect Liu Bei to call him. Liu Zhang panicked.
He didn't have time to make money. He was thinking about whether he could ask Fa Zheng to let King of Han, Liu Mang, send troops as soon as possible.
Fa Zheng wasn't pretentious. Although Liu Zhang was a little useless, no matter what, if it wasn't for the Liu father and son, Fa Zheng wouldn't have had a place in Yi Province when he first entered the Yi Province.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. I have already sent someone to inform His Highness, King of Han. You just need to issue an order for Yi Province to submit to Yangzhou!" Fa Zheng said to Liu Zhang.
Liu Mang's army was already prepared. However, if Liu Zhang didn't make the announcement, it would be difficult for his army to enter Yi Province.
They would be regarded as invaders. Moreover, Liu Mang's army started from Jingzhou. There were many battles between Jingzhou and Yi Province.
If Liu Mang forced his army, he would lose the support of the people. The loss outweighed the gain.
Liu Mang wanted to eliminate Liu Bei and obtain a complete Yi Province. He wanted Yi Province to be a granary for his army. He didn't want Yi Province to be hated by the people.
"Okay, okay, okay. I will write it now. I will write it now!" Liu Zhang panicked. Money was good, but he had to be alive to spend it.
"Reporting …! Reporting to Lord Prefecture Overseer, Chengdu Prefecture has sent a group of troops. "The messenger entered the mansion and reported to Liu Zhang.
"Troops are here? That Liu Bei is here! It's over! It's over! "Liu Zhang panicked.
How could he, Liu Zhang, defend against the combined attacks of three armies?
"Your Highness, please don't worry. With Chengdu Prefecture, Liu Bei won't be able to break in for a while." Fa Zheng comforted Liu Zhang.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Zhang nodded. As long as he could hold on for a while, King of Han, Liu Mang, would come to save him. At that time, he wouldn't have to be afraid of Liu Bei.
"Pass down the order. Seal the city gates and defend to the end." Liu Zhang had made up his mind. If he didn't make up his mind, his base would be gone.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, it's not the enemy who has returned. It's Huang Quan. General Huang Quan has returned." The messenger replied.
"Huang Quan? Did he betray me too?! "Liu Zhang thought that Huang Quan had led the troops to attack.
"No, no. My Lord, it's Lord Huang Quan. He has returned with a dozen personal guards. He said that he wants to see you. "
Huang Quan appeared at Chengdu's city gates and requested to see Liu Zhang.
"Hm? Let him in! Only he can enter. No one else is allowed to enter. "Liu Zhang showed how much he cared about his life.
"Yes!" The subordinate quickly left. Soon, Huang Quan was brought in.
"My Lord!" Huang Quan cupped his fists at Liu Zhang.
"Huang Quan, you still have the face to come back." Liu Zhang saw Huang Quan and immediately reprimanded him. Originally, there was still Jiangzhou outside Chengdu as a defense. Now, Jiangzhou was gone and Chengdu was under the threat of Liu Bei.
"This general is guilty!" Huang Quan lowered his head in guilt and cupped his fists at Liu Zhang.
Within a day, Jiangzhou was breached. How could Huang Quan not feel guilty?
"Good. Since you know that you are guilty, men, drag Huang Quan out and behead him. " Liu Zhang was filled with hatred for Huang Quan. If it was him, how could he, Liu Zhang, be in this state?
Since he couldn't get his money, Yi Province couldn't take it anymore.
"Milord, this general knows his mistake. However, this general has something to discuss with Milord!" Huang Quan shouted at Liu Zhang.
"You have something to say? Hmph, what is it? Begging for mercy? "Liu Zhang sneered.
"My Lord, please step back," Huang Quan said to Liu Zhang.
"Good, I will give you one last chance. Tell me, how did you lose Jiangzhou?" Liu Zhang gave Huang Quan face. It was no wonder. Huang Quan was considered Liu Zhang's confidant. Otherwise, Liu Zhang wouldn't have placed him in Jiangzhou District as the governor.
Liu Zhang blocked off the left and right.
Fa Zheng also followed him out.
"Teacher, why do you have to help this Liu Zhang?" Fa Zheng's errand boy was a little dissatisfied. This Liu Zhang was simply at Fa Zheng's beck and call.
Back then, Fa Zheng had tried to persuade Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang had ignored him. He still harbored fantasies and even gave Fa Zheng an official position in another carriage.
Now that Liu Bei was at the door, he remembered Fa Zheng.
"Haha, Chen Cheng, you are still young. You don't understand. My personal honor is nothing compared to the people of Yi Province!"
Fa Zheng was worried about the people of Yi Province when Liu Bei attacked. He didn't sell out Yi Province.
It was because Fa Zheng didn't want Yi Province to be in chaos. Zhao Wei, Zhang Lu, and Liu Bei.
These individuals had brought great destruction to Yi Province.
If this continued, the entire Yi Province would be hopeless.
Now that Yangzhou's King of Han, Liu Mang, had entered Yi Province, Jing Province and Yi Province would become one.
From then on, there would be no more chaos. The people would be able to live and work in peace.
Fa Zheng waited outside Liu Zhang's mansion for a long time, but he still didn't receive any news from Liu Zhang.
He couldn't help but go forward and ask.
However, the guard who was very friendly to Fa Zheng changed his expression. "Mister Fa Zheng, please go back. My Lord said that he won't see any guests today."
