"Cao Rui has decided to live in Xuchang permanently, and all the official offices in Luoyang will definitely move to Xuchang. At least the most important official offices will be moved before Sima Yi returns to Luoyang."
The goddess may know Cao Rui's true physical condition, but Mi Shiyilang can get the most reliable inside information from Princess Qinghe.
From the words Princess Qinghe revealed intermittently on weekdays, Mi Shiyilang judged that Cao Rui might no longer trust Sima Yi.
Regarding the battle situation in Guanzhong, there is nothing you can say now.
Why was Thief Feng able to successfully raid thousands of miles away?
Why did Bingzhou Hedong happen to be empty of troops?
Why did Grand Sima confront the Ge thieves in Wuzhangyuan, only to watch helplessly as 50,000 imperial guardsmen were besieged and destroyed by the Ge thieves?
Is this because the Shu captives are too aggressive, or is it because someone is self-respecting and does this deliberately?
…
Mi Shiyilang believed that from the moment Sima Yi decided to lead his troops to withdraw from Guanzhong, Cao Rui would not leave any official offices in Luoyang for Sima Yi that had an important influence on the court.
He looked at the goddess and spoke calmly:
"It is rumored that Sima Yi has led his army past Tongguan. Time is very tight. There will definitely be chaos in Luoyang soon. That is your best chance."
There is a large Han army pressing down on the territory in the west, especially the Feng Gui King in the northwest, who may one day go fishing under Luoyang City.
The state of Wu in the southeast is constantly harassing them, and inside, they have to guard against powerful ministers with military power.
Under such internal and external difficulties, Cao Rui, who has been ill for a long time, may not have the energy to make special arrangements for the goddess. At most, he can only let the people below make arrangements.
However, the goddess has a special status. Although she lives in the harem, she is not confined to the palace like the concubines in the harem and is not allowed to leave even half a step.
As long as she thinks of a way, she will always have a chance to leave the palace. Although the chance is rare, just once is enough.
"Then when will I leave the palace again?"
The goddess asked impatiently.
"Five days, I need at least five days to make arrangements. After five days, you can come to the princess's house in the name of exorcising evil spirits."
"No!" The goddess flatly refused, "Five days is too long. I only have three days at most. After three days, I will leave the palace to find you."
Mi Shiyilang frowned, slightly impatient.
If it were anyone else who dared to threaten him like this, he would have killed him long ago.
Do you really think this is a big man?
This is the capital of the pseudo-Wei Dynasty. If he is not careful, he himself will be dismembered.
It's just that he can't move the woman in front of him yet. Not only can't he move, but he also has to comfort her, otherwise the risk will be too great.
"If it's three days, the time is too tight. There may be omissions in the arrangement. If someone discovers it, the consequences will be disastrous."
"That's better than waiting to die."
The goddess shook her head and spoke firmly.
Mi Shiyilang finally couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"When you came to Luoyang, didn't you think that one day things would be exposed? Why are you so afraid of death now?"
"Before coming to Luoyang, life was worse than death. Even if you are going to die when you come to Luoyang, you should finish enjoying it first and then die."
The goddess rolled her eyes and said, "Now that you have the chance to live forever, of course it's better to live alive."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.
The life of the farmers under Cao Wei was not ordinary hardship.
In other words, in today's world, farmers all over the world are suffering.
I work hard all year round and don't have a moment to spare, so that's it.
The key is that most of the food they grow has to be handed over, but they can't even fill their stomachs.
Not to mention the labor that must be collected all year round, which is even more miserable.
Why do so many people prefer to entrust their land to wealthy families rather than cultivate it?
It is because those powerful people can protect them from heavy taxes and labor.
Mi Shiyilang chuckled:
"Even if you escape from here and go to Han, how do you know that you don't want to continue to be a peasant woman?"
The goddess also sneered without showing any signs of weakness:
"After all, I have some connections with Mr. Hua Tuo's disciples. I heard that Feng Junhou now has Mr. Hua Tuo's disciples under his command. I have something on hand that they should be very interested in."
Hua Tuo was killed, his disciples were scattered, and the "Qing Nang Shu" he wrote before his death was also burned.
It can be said that the medical knowledge of Hua Tuo's lineage has fallen into pieces.
Fan A and Li Dangzhi are doing very well in Dahan now, and they have great potential to revive their division.
They also know that the reason why they do well is because they have excellent medical skills.
So they wanted to recreate Hua Tuo's medical skills even more.
However, Fan A was good at acupuncture and Li Dangzhi was good at using medicine, but they were missing someone who could perfectly combine acupuncture and medicine.
This person is Wu Pu, Hua Tuo's third disciple.
Mi Shiyilang suddenly raised his head and stared at the goddess.
First he joined the Xinghan Society, then he became a potential opponent of King Feng Gui, and finally he was forced to be exiled. Mi Shiyilang knew King Feng Gui very well.
So of course he knew that some of King Feng Gui's operations more than ten years ago were generally incomprehensible as child's play, but in hindsight, they basically had profound meanings.
The best example is that we spend a lot of money to train medical workers without hesitation.
In the words of the Liangzhou Army, it means life or death. Death will not only exempt the family from corvee and taxes, but also give their children a place to be sent to school, which is not a loss.
If it is alive, it will either be injured or it will be intact. Needless to say, if it is intact, maybe it will be able to perform meritorious deeds when the smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave.
If you are injured, you will either be disabled or you will be able to recover.
If you become disabled, you can either go back to your hometown and work as a mayor or something, or you can work as a security guard for the Xinghan Association.
Even going to Dongfeng Express to be a transportation team leader is a path that ordinary people cannot find. Without military service experience, these positions will not be easily released to ordinary people.
It doesn't matter if you get injured. Everyone knows that the military doctors under King Feng Gui are top-notch.
Other soldiers were seriously injured and almost escaped death, but the military doctors in the Liangzhou Army were different. They had the confidence to steal people from the King of Hell.
Others need to rest for more than half a year if they are injured, but Liangzhou Military and Traditional Chinese Medicine Workers can make you more active in just three months.
To sum it up in one sentence: How can it be so easy to die?
Veterans who have experienced life and death are the most valuable assets in the military.
This is one of the reasons why every time he goes through a battle, his opponent will find King Feng Gui more and more difficult to deal with next time.
Because the proportion of veterans under his command is astonishingly high.
Not only did Mi Shiyilang understand this, he also knew that Tiannu was indeed related to Hua Tuo's disciples.
If what the other party said is true, then he must find a way to send her out, and it is best to send her to King Feng Gui. This is a big achievement.
"How do I know what you say is true?"
Mi Shiyilang sat up straight and asked.
When the goddess saw his action, her veil rippled and she seemed to be smiling:
"If you don't believe it, I can teach you a few moves. As long as you keep practicing, you won't feel guilty when you face Princess Qinghe in the future."
Mi Shiyilang's expression changed.
As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger.
He is not a figure like Feng Guiwang who calls himself a jackal, tiger or leopard.
Faced with Princess Qinghe who has been a widow for many years and then needs revenge, he occasionally feels guilty.
Although it is only sometimes, this kind of "sometimes" is naturally not the best.
Mi Shiyilang pondered, and then asked:
"Can you climb mountains?"
"What?"
"To climb the mountain, it is definitely not feasible to take the Hangu Pass road now. We can only find a way to cross the river to the north, and then climb over the mountain and enter the east of the river."
In this section of the large river between Chang'an and Luoyang, there may only be a few famous Dadukou.
But there are quite a few small ferries without names.
the reason is simple.
Because Hedong, across the river and mountains from Luoyang, produces salt.
Smuggling salt is a huge profit.
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.
