Chapter 728: Cao Rui falls down and Tian Yu looks up
Chen Qun's answer made Cao Rui feel a lot better.
Cao Rui, who was in a better mood, felt a little hungry, so he asked someone to prepare some cakes and bring them to him.
But before Cao Rui saw the cakes, he saw Chen Qun returning.
"Is there anything else Mr. Chen can do?"
Cao Rui was quite polite to the important minister in front of him who had been trusted by the late emperor.
But Cao Rui found that Chen Qun's face suddenly fell after hearing his question.
This gave Cao Rui a bad feeling in his heart.
"What happened."
Cao Rui's voice became deeper.
Cao Rui's first sentence can be regarded as a question, but his second sentence is a clear question.
Chen Qun has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how could he not hear the changes in Cao Rui's mood?
But as the minister of the Wei Dynasty, even if he knew that some things would offend Cao Rui, he could only report them.
This is also the reason why he was angry outside just now, but now he is calming down.
Fortunately, Chen Qun is full of experience in matters such as reporting.
"Wancheng, Xuchang Wuyou."
Chen Qun was the first to say this.
Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Qun said, Cao Rui's face improved a lot.
Cao Rui was smart, and he noticed some clues from Chen Qun's expression.
That's why his mood deteriorated.
But Chen Qun's report was tantamount to telling Cao Rui the truth:
"Your Majesty, Wancheng and Xuchang are fine, don't worry."
Indeed, for the Wei Dynasty, as long as Wancheng and Xuchang are still in the hands of the Wei army, even if there is trouble on the border, it will be within the scope that the Wei Dynasty can accept.
Cao Rui, who was feeling quite relaxed, was waiting for Chen Qun's next report.
"But Bowang is lost."
Chen Qun did not dare to look directly at Cao Rui and said these words softly.
Because Chen Qun spoke softly, Cao Rui did not hear Chen Qun's words clearly at first.
"What did Mr. Chen say?"
When asking this question, Cao Rui stretched his body in the direction of Chen Qun.
After seeing Cao Rui's actions, Chen Qun knew that he could not escape, so he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and bowed directly:
"Your Majesty, Bowang is lost!"
Chen Qun's voice was very powerful. Cao Rui could naturally hear such a powerful voice.
But Cao Rui did not react immediately.
Bowang?
This county name is so familiar.
Just when Cao Rui thought Bowang was an insignificant county town, he was suddenly shocked when he recalled the past.
Because Cao Rui was keeping his body stretched forward, he was so shaken that it was difficult for him to maintain his body balance.
He actually fell directly to the ground.
Chen Qun and the surrounding attendants were shocked when they saw this, and they quickly stepped forward to help Cao Rui up from the ground.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The issue that Chen Qun was immediately concerned about.
But in the face of Chen Qun's concern, Cao Rui remained indifferent.
Cao Rui raised his angry red eyes and looked at the attendant beside him, and said with a chill in his tone:
"Get the map of Yuzhou quickly."
The attendant noticed that Cao Rui was on the verge of rage, so of course he did not dare to neglect him.
Not long after, a map was placed in front of Cao Rui.
This map was drawn by Cao Cao when he was still alive.
Not only are the conditions in various places in Yuzhou clearly marked on it, there are even Cao Cao's personal notes in some places.
At the place where Bowang is depicted on the map, Cao Rui clearly saw the eight characters written by Cao Cao:
"Wan's confidant, Xu's door!"
These eight words made it difficult for Cao Rui to suppress his inner anger.
Cao Rui raised his head and stared at Chen Qun:
"Wan, Xuchang has not been lost. Does Mr. Chen think it is a good thing?
Let me ask you, after Bowang is lost, how should Wan and Xuchang defend it?
How to keep it!"
When he said the last sentence, Cao Rui almost shouted.
Cao Rui's roar frightened everyone in the hall to kneel down and did not dare to raise their heads.
But Chen Qun's rebuke was not enough to make Cao Rui's anger disappear.
"Which stupid pig is guarding Bowang?
Bowang is behind Wancheng, how could he lose Bowang?
If you deserve to be killed, you must kill!"
Cao Rui's words were full of murderous intent.
It is not surprising that Cao Rui behaved like this.
Although at the beginning of his accession to the throne, Cao Rui secretly warned himself not to imitate the irritable and irritable emperor.
But when Cao Rui was actually in Cao Pi's position, he somewhat understood Cao Pi's situation.
It's not that he's not calm enough.
Which wise man can still remain calm after knowing that Bowang is lost?
Mi Yang is so good at making people think.
"How did Bowang get lost? Send someone to check, check!"
The anger in Cao Rui's heart was vented wantonly in the hall with the help of every roar.
After waiting for a long time, Cao Rui vented a lot of the anger in his heart and regained some sense.
What makes Cao Rui better than Cao Pi is that Cao Rui will not be carried away by anger.
Cao Rui quickly turned around, looked at Chen Qun and asked:
"Now the bandit army has occupied Bowang, Da Sima is trapped in Wancheng, and Xuchang is in danger. How should I deal with it? I hope Mr. Chen will teach me."
Cao Rui's words made Chen Qun's face look bitter.
He is a good person when it comes to politics, but when it comes to military affairs, he is not very proficient.
After seeing Chen Qun's troubled expression, Cao Rui closed his eyes helplessly.
In the Battle of Guanzhong, the Wei army not only lost a large number of elites, but also many generals.
"After Chen Gong returned to the Chancellery, he immediately informed the public about Bowang's affairs.
I also issued a large reward. If anyone can solve the imperial court's urgent needs, I am willing to follow Emperor Wu's story."
Chen Qun couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Cao Rui's order.
"His Majesty!"
Chen Qun was worried that rashly announcing the fall of Bowang would cause instability among the people of Yecheng.
When Cao Rui saw that Chen Qun was still worried about this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Bowang is the hub of Jingbei, how can we hide its fall?
Compared to the instability of people's hearts, I am more worried about the safety of Xuchang!"
After saying this, Cao Rui waved his sleeves and asked Chen Qun to retreat.
...
After Chen Qun returned to the Chancellery, he immediately followed Cao Rui's instructions and announced the fall of Bowang and the court's search for talents.
As Chen Qun expected, after this incident spread in Yecheng, it instantly caused an uproar.
There was an uproar, but after learning that Cao Rui intended to offer a heavy reward for advice, many people in Ye City couldn't help but become excited.
In these troubled times, all talented people have the desire to make achievements in their hearts.
Among the many people whose hearts are moved, there is one person with a rather special identity.
This person was Tian Yu, who had just returned to Yecheng from the North to report on his work.
Speaking of the name Tian Yu, many people in Yecheng will feel unfamiliar.
But this does not mean that Tian Yu is a nobody.
On the contrary, in the Youzhou area, Tian Yu's reputation is as powerful as thunder.
After Tian Yu carefully read the general story of the Bowang Incident copied by his servant, an idea emerged in his mind.
