Chapter 511 Cao Wei: We are the clear card [Subscribe]
The moonlight is like silver.
"It's getting late, Wenhe, you should go back."
As Cao Cao spoke, he also left the study.
Jia Xu followed behind and after leaving the study, he politely said goodbye to Cao Cao.
Like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he had been eating and drinking for free at Cao Cao's place for many years.
He works for his salary and never spends money on other things.
The area surrounding the Tongquetai Palace was mostly filled with palaces and mansions where important officials of the Wei Dynasty or visiting state guests lived.
Jia Xu went home as soon as he left the palace.
The surrounding area is under the control of the imperial guards, which gives Jia Wenhe a high sense of security.
When he got home, his wife came up to him and asked, "My husband, have you had your meal yet? Do you want me to go to the kitchen to prepare some?"
Jia Xu: "I had a drink with Your Majesty in the evening and ate something, but I won't eat anymore."
When his wife heard that Jia Xu was having dinner with the emperor, she knew that he was highly valued and was happy too. She went forward to help Jia Xu take off his outer shirt and change into his home clothes.
The two exchanged a few words, and Jia Xu said:
"I still have some matters to deal with in the court. You should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."
The daughter-in-law hurried over and whispered, "Wenhe, you and I haven't slept together for a long time."
Jia Xu secretly shuddered and took a small step to the side quietly. "After you are over fifty, sleeping together too much will damage your vitality. You and I have been married for decades, we understand each other and are as close as brothers. We should try to reduce fratricide."
After saying this, he left quickly.
Brothers killing each other, is this human language... The wife stayed where she was and rolled her eyes.
Jia Xu came to the study.
Close doors and windows.
Secret guards were arranged to stand guard at the door. Jia Xu took out a small notebook and planned to write a diary.
He was cautious by nature and would write in coded language that only he could understand.
The purpose of writing a diary is to record what happens every day. When you look back at it after a while, you can often gain unexpected results.
The reason for using code words is that one is afraid that someone will see the diary and thus reveal one's thoughts.
"In the Jiashen year, summer..."
Jia Xu first wrote the year and month, and then wrote in a continuous stream: Today, everything in the court is going smoothly. The internal governance of our Great Wei has begun to show results, and the various departments are working together with great efficiency. This is the result of your majesty's great talent and strategy.
Director Jia is so cautious that he doesn't forget to flatter even when writing in his diary.
What if Boss Cao sees the diary one day.
It can achieve the best flattery effect and make a lot of money, so why not do it?
Jia Xu wrote again: "Today, your majesty ordered to strengthen internal supervision, saying that the days of peace and prosperity have been too long and some people are prone to slackness. Your majesty is wise and takes precautions before they happen. I have already given the order."
Today, His Majesty also ordered to supervise the grain production and preparation, and strictly prohibit local fraud...
He also wrote: Our Great Wei launched an attack on the Kushan Empire and won a great victory, thanks to many overt and covert arrangements.
The war has just begun and is yet to be launched.
Another: Today, news came from the southern seas that Gan Xingba led his troops across the sea and has reached Sulu (Philippines)...
In the evening, His Majesty asked me a strange question.
His Majesty said that if he leaves in the future, should I go with him to see the new world, or stay in Wei and enjoy my retirement?
I want to stay in Dawei. Going to see the new world sounds dangerous, so I don't really want to go.
But I didn't dare say it. To show my loyalty, I said I was willing to follow Your Majesty until death.
I lied...
Jia Xu wrote this down, but felt that it was not very good, so he crossed out part of it and warned himself secretly: After a long period of comfort, I have relaxed my vigilance a little, and I must not write such words again.
He wrote at the end: When I returned home at night, my wife wanted to kill me and my brother, and I was distressed...
Just as Jia Xu put away his diary, a spy brought him a secret message: "There is news from the west. The other side should be ready to take action."
Jia Xu took the secret message and looked down at it.
In the palace.
After Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao fell asleep, Cao Cao came to the quiet room.
He has been practicing diligently recently.
After the dragon soul's evolution value reached 98.5, a real dragon began to lie in Cao Cao's sea of consciousness, with its eyes closed as if it was sleeping, motionless, but the purple air inhaling and exhaling from its mouth and nose was like a large chaos egg, lingering outside its body.
Cao Cao felt that when the dragon soul awakened again, there might be some special changes.
After the training was over, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pressed down, causing ripples in the void and the wall of space to sag and crack.
Ever since he had the body of a human emperor, his perception and "touch" of space had become clearer.
Cao Cao glanced at the time and thought that it was already early morning, and there would be more than one game of chess between the enemy and us tonight.
……
Lanshi City was originally the old capital of Kushan and is now the most important town in the northern part of the country.
A hundred miles north of Lan City, there is a medium-sized city called Taki.
At this moment, Zhang Liao was camping in a hidden place in the mountains forty miles outside of Taki City.
Their team is small and maintains high mobility.
The Kushans would never have imagined that Zhang Liao's troops had fought a battle on the border further north at noon.
With one afternoon and half a night, they could penetrate deep into Kushan as if they were in an empty land and head straight for the direction of Lan's city.
The Kushan troops were still two or three hundred miles to the north, deploying their defenses tightly, ready to deal with Zhang Liao's troops.
They had already moved deep into the city of Taki and set up camp in seclusion.
"The whole army will rest for two hours. We will cross the base of the tower and attack Lan's City before dawn."
Zhang Liao gave instructions to generals including Gao Shun.
The generals went down to convey the orders and then returned to the military tent to rest.
A few miles away from where Zhang Liao led his troops to camp, in a valley, a small group of four people were crouching.
All four of them were wearing robes that were dark red like flames.
"From yesterday noon till now, this Wei army has penetrated nearly 500 miles and appeared at the base of the tower."
"We followed them all the way and were left behind by them several times. If we didn't know their direction, we would have lost them."
"The marching and fighting capabilities of these Wei troops are truly impressive. No wonder the Kushans were defeated as soon as they engaged the enemy in battle."
"Go ahead, be careful."
Several people discussed briefly, and two of them shook off their dark red robes.
The long robe seemed to be on fire, burning the void. The two men then disappeared into the darkness and sneaked in the direction of the Wei army's camp led by Zhang Liao.
The two remaining people exchanged opinions and said, "We will do it too."
"Ah."
Inside the tent, Zhang Liao closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact he was energizing his body to recover from the slight fatigue brought by the battle.
While practicing, he inexplicably felt tired.
Zhang Liao was half asleep and half awake when he felt a ball of fire appear in his consciousness. It was burning fiercely and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
He suddenly became alert, and his body orifices began to vibrate, making sounds like the collision of swords and the fighting of thousands of troops.
The other side.
The two figures lurking in the valley.
They are using an artifact and Zoroastrian magic to try to destroy the target's consciousness in his sleep.
What the two men could not have imagined was that as soon as the magic was unleashed, they were actually dragged into a battlefield, surrounded by galloping horses, fighting people, and the sound of swords clashing one after another.
The two men's faces were distorted. They knew they were being counterattacked and struggled hard.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
But the soul seemed to be locked and unable to escape.
One of them hummed, "Use... Blood Flame Technique quickly to break free from the battlefield of swords and weapons that has evolved in his consciousness.
This man... we can't deal with him... the previous information was wrong. His consciousness is so strong that it seems to have crossed the barrier between humans and gods..."
The other man had a ferocious look on his face. He bit off a small part of his tongue and took out a blood sword from his mouth.
The blood sword suddenly turned into a cluster of red flames, which were imprinted on the brows of the two men.
Both of them were covered in cold sweat, and their souls seemed to be burning in flames.
After a moment, the two men sat down dejectedly, their bodies already soaked in cold sweat, but they had briefly broken free from some kind of restraint.
"The target is a divine general?!"
The two were still in shock: "Go."
"Send a message to Toil and the others. There is an error in the message. The target is powerful. They will die if they go. Retreat quickly."
"Only the Pope and the two Vice-Patriarchs have the means to deal with generals of this level."
"It seems that the deputy chieftain went to the grassland in person..."
"Let's go, the other party is coming."
As the two were talking, they were about to retreat.
One of them suddenly froze and stared at the other's back in horror.
A blurry figure appeared behind the man, and a sword tip protruded from his neck. With a sudden slash, the man in the dark red robe suddenly fell to the ground.
The scary thing is that neither of them noticed anything until the other made a move and revealed his sword.
There was only one person left, his robe suddenly caught fire and his figure disappeared into thin air.
But two feet away from where he disappeared, he fell out again.
There were sword wounds on his throat and between his eyebrows.
Not long after this man fell out of the void and died, a man rushed towards him rapidly from the distant mountains and fields like a running cheetah.
The person coming is Zhang Liao holding a halberd!
He sensed that someone was plotting against him, and followed the scent to kill him.
At this time, beside the two people in dark red robes, a figure holding a sword and wearing a black robe appeared.
Zhang Liao had seen this man before. He was Wang Yue, the shadow guard who always stayed by Cao Cao's side and a master of swordsmanship of the time.
"Wang Zhonglang, why are you here?"
Zhang Liao was a humble person and even bowed while speaking.
Furthermore, Wang Yue’s identity was also quite special. Not only was he Cao Cao’s personal guard, he also had the responsibility to teach martial arts to the princes and princesses.
This status was very important, so Zhang Liao used the etiquette of the same rank.
Wang Yue responded, “Your Majesty said that even if our generals are great, they should not act alone and should never give the enemy any loopholes to exploit.
General Huang, General Taishi are on one side, Guan and Zhang are on the other. General Zhang, you and Gao Shun, you have fewer people and you have to go deep into the enemy territory. Besides, I am also on the verge of breaking through the mythical realm. His Majesty asked me to come out and find opportunities to fight more masters.
I am here to support you in the dark."
Zhang Liao understood immediately.
Cao Cao made careful arrangements for all parties.
They were afraid that he would go deep into enemy territory and be ambushed, so they sent Wang Yue to deal with possible overt and covert incidents.
When the two men returned to the military camp, the other two who had attempted to sneak into the camp to assassinate them had already been arrested.
The army had its own special set of torture methods, and Gao Shun had interrogated the prisoners.
"They said that a Zoroastrian vice-pope went to the grasslands, and I'm afraid he will do harm to our Great Wei."
Zhang Liao then used the interrogation bead to pass the news to Cao Cao.
And at this moment on the grassland.
Kebi Neng is also facing a similar situation as Zhang Liao.
The person who did the attack was even more powerful than the one who attacked Zhang Liao. He was a vice-pope of Zoroastrianism who had met Bo Diao in person before.
After he joined forces with Afu, they dealt with Kebineng together.
He personally cast a spell and dragged Kebinen into the same dream as Zhang Liao.
They wanted to secretly control Kebi Neng and undermine Cao Wei's control over the grassland.
Use Kebi Neng to deal with "Kebi Neng" and take back the grassland tribes from the control of Cao Wei.
This is undoubtedly the most effective, subtle and difficult to guard against method.
When the Zoroastrian Vice Pope performed his tricks, Afu Yu and Bu Liugu stood on one side to protect him.
The two of them whispered to each other:
"The news brought by this Zoroastrian pope said that the Kushans were defeated as soon as they started fighting. They were routed by the Wei army, with tens of thousands of people killed every day."
There seemed to be anger in Afu Yu's intimidating eyes: "The news that Kebi Neng gave us before, saying that the Wei army was going to attack Kushan from the north, was actually true.
He knew your identity, but he delivered a true message."
Bu Liugu also had an unpleasant expression on his face.
Cao Wei did not take the opportunity to spread false information to confuse them, but actually told them that they were going to attack Kushan from the north.
It was after their own analysis that they concluded that the news that the Wei army was attacking Kushan from the north was false.
Cao Wei played its cards openly and told them directly where to attack, but they were unable to tell the truth from the false. This was such a humiliation and mockery, so hateful.
While the master and disciple were talking, they saw the Zoroastrian vice-pope stand up and finish casting the spell.
"How?" the two asked anxiously.
