Zhuge Mu's rude behavior made Chen Qun's body tremble in anger.
At this moment, his mind was filled with Zhuge Mu's words," So what?" and " What can you do to me?"
"Young Master, is this the person you want to introduce to Changwen?”
"If that's the case, then there's no need to meet Chen Qun in the future!”
Chen Qun waved his sleeves at Cao Pi and pretended to leave angrily.
Seeing this, Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo, who were Cao Pi's good friends, tried to dissuade Chen Qun.
"Ji Zhong, Yan Cai, let him leave!”
Cao Pi's voice rang out, causing Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo to suddenly stop in their tracks.
Even Chen Qun, who had taken the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction to Cao Pi, looked at Cao Pi in shock.
After a long time, he let out a self-mocking laugh.
"Haha, so Young Master is going to abandon me because of Zhuge Mu? I, Chen Changwen, understand now!"
" Young Master, farewell!"
Chen Qun left with a face full of grief and indignation.
But on the spot…
Only Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo, who looked anxious, and Cao Pi, who looked gloomy, were left behind.
"Young Master, why are you doing this!"
"No matter how much Zhuge Mu dislikes you, you shouldn't have broken off with Chen Changwen. What if he is roped in by the Fifth Young Master or the Twenty-fifth Young Master?”
Zhu Shuo paced back and forth as he advised Cao Pi helplessly.
Cao Pi did not say anything. He only silently sized up Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo.
He suddenly realized that even though Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo were considered heroes, they were still far from Zhuge Mu.
Their eyes would only focus on their feet, calculating the gains and losses of the moment.
Zhuge Mu, on the other hand, had seen the future and planned for it.
Then, he thought of Zhou Buyi, who was by the side of his twenty-fifth brother Cao Chong, and Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu, who were on good terms with his fifth brother Cao Zhi. At this moment, two words that Zhuge Mu often said to him appeared in Cao Pi's mind.
Balance!
Because of the balance, his father pushed Zhuge Mu to him as the Eldest Young Master, so that he would have a decisive person at the critical moment.
In that case, who would his father arrange to be by his fourth brother Cao Zhang's side in the future?
……
Sikong Manor.
Cao Pi had invited Zhuge Mu over for a chat, and news of the conflict between him and Chen Qun, a subordinate of the Western Cao, had reached Cao Cao's ears.
"Shu Zhi is helping me beat up Pi 'er!”
Cao Cao said with a smile.
"As for Chen Qun, didn't Zhang He report that Jizhou lacked manpower?”
When Cao Cao mentioned Chen Qun, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
He could accept Zhuge Mu befriending Cao Pi because he had allowed it.
However…
Chen Qun's support for Cao Pi made Cao Cao see the political significance behind it.
Yingchuan Clan Group.
Cao Cao's rise could be said to be due to the help of the Yingchuan clan, but this did not mean…
He hoped that Cao Pi, who was very likely to inherit his position in the future, would also be associated with the Yingchuan aristocratic family.
If two generations of Cao's 'kings' relied on the Yingchuan aristocratic group, Cao Cao knew better than anyone what terrible consequences it would cause.
On the other side.
Zhuge Mu, who had returned to the Langya Manor, ordered the guards to summon Huang Zhong, his son, and Wei Yan, who were not far away from the manor, to the manor.
Zhuge Mu sat in the main seat in the main hall of the manor.
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huang Xu, and Zhuge Dan sat in order on his left.
On his right were Zhang Chong, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao.
As for Xu Shu, he was not here.
After looking around at everyone, Zhuge Mu said,"News from the Imperial Court has arrived!"
"I think we should set off for the north tomorrow.”
Zhuge Mu turned to look at Wei Yan.
"Wen Chang, go to the military camp in the south of the city tonight and inform the remaining 3,000 Xi Liang soldiers to be mentally prepared to leave tomorrow.”
"Uncle!" Zhuge Mu looked at Huang Zhong.
"There might be some waves on this trip north!”
"I plan to let Aunt and Jie 'er stay in Xu Du first. After we stabilize the situation in Chang' an, we will bring them over.”
Although Cao Cao did not object to him taking Cao Jie to Chang 'an, Zhuge Mu did not intend to let Cao Jie go there right away.
Huang Zhong knew that Zhuge Mu's suggestion was for his own good and did not object.
The next day, noon.
He followed Zhuge Mu, Huang Zhong, and the others into the military camp in the south of the city.
With this order, 3,000 Western Liang cavalry marched out of the camp and headed straight for Chang 'an, northwest of the capital.
These three thousand cavalry would become the backbone of Zhuge Mu's Guanxi Corps.
Riding on the Red Rabbit Horse, Zhuge Mu turned around and glanced at Xu Ducheng behind him.
Vaguely, he saw his aunt Zhang Shi, his wife Cao Jie, Cao Pi, and Cao Cao and the others who were looking north from the top of the city wall.
He cupped his fists at them.
Zhuge Mu raised his whip and spurred his horse forward.
Behind him, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Chong, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Huang Xu and the others laughed heartily when they saw Zhuge Mu. They then followed Zhuge Mu.
Hearing everyone's laughter, Zhuge Mu turned around and said to them,"
"Prancing horses to Chang 'an. It's time to make contributions!"
"Three thousand cavalry have gone, and one hundred thousand soldiers have returned!”
"Gentlemen…"
"Follow me forward!"
Hearing Zhuge Mu's words, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and the others looked at each other.
The next moment, a unified voice came out of their mouths.
"Yes!"
"We will obey the Viceroy's orders!"
……
River East.
Chaisang City.
Wu Housun Quan listened helplessly to Ling Tong's report," So, according to your words, Shang Xiang escaped from right under your noses?”
Facing Sun Quan's question, Ling Tong felt aggrieved.
"My lord, when the princess left the city, I was inspecting the weapons in the treasury and was not on duty at the city gate.”
"I heard from the soldiers that the princess was holding your token when she left. How could the soldiers dare to stop her?”
"Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!"
Ling Tong's explanation caused Sun Quan to explode with rage. He then directly kicked Ling Tong.
"Tell your subordinates to use their brains to think. How could I give Shang Xiang the token?”
After scolding Ling Tong, Sun Quan knew that Ling Tong wasn't to be blamed for this matter and helplessly waved his hand.
"Who was the one who brought Shangxiang back last time?”
"My lord, it's too…"
Ling Tong was halfway through his sentence when he remembered that the person he was talking about was not on good terms with Sun Quan. He hurriedly changed his words and said," It's the Jianchang Commandant!!!"
Hearing Ling Tong mention the name of the official position, Sun Quan's expression froze.
If he remembered correctly.
The Jianchang Commandant that Ling Tong mentioned seemed to have fallen seriously ill and was about to die of illness. No one knew how he managed to pull through.
It was a pity that he didn't die!
Sun Quan sighed in his heart.
P.S. I beg for an automatic submission!
Guess!
