    When Cao Lao's coffin was sent back to Chang'an, the famous filial son Cao Ang cried and passed out in front of Cao Lao's coffin. Most of Cao Lao's other sons also knelt behind Cao Ang and cried until the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were supporting him.  The coffin cried bitterly, while secretly looking at Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Dian Wei and others who had returned to support the spirit, hoping for a miracle. Boss Cao was making another will, depriving Cao Ang, the good-for-nothing eldest brother, of his position as heir, and replacing him with the title of "Outstanding Virtue and Talent".  His beloved son and heir.

    In the end, the miracle did not happen. Not only did it not happen, after the coffin of Boss Cao was transported back to Chang'an City for worship, Xun Yu, who was dressed in white mourning clothes, discussed with several important officials of Cao's army, such as Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, and even  Everyone knelt down in front of Cao Ang, who was crying incessantly, and said in unison: "My lord, please rest your sorrow and discuss important matters."

    The heartbroken Cao Ang was still crying. He just raised his head to look at Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, his eyes were quite puzzled, and he obviously did not consider what was most important at the moment.  , the new master passed away, the world was shaken, and it was necessary to establish the master of Guanzhong as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people. When the former master was still alive, he appointed the master as his heir in public. The ministers discussed it and asked the eldest master to succeed him immediately in front of the ancestor's spirit.  Follow the last command of our late lord.¡±

    Cao Ang cried and refused, saying that his father's body was still cold and he could not succeed to the throne in a hurry.  Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were also anxious, and quickly winked at their close associates. Cao Pi's friend Zhu Shuo and Cao Zhi's supporter Yang Xiu quickly stood up and said one after another: "My lords, this matter can still be discussed, my lord is new.  The body is still cold, and the eldest son also has to mourn for his lord. The issue of succession needs to be considered in the long run."

    "Shut up, two people are just talking about Confucianism. How can we allow you to talk nonsense about important matters in the court!" Cheng Yu, the most ruthless counselor under Cao Lao, shouted angrily, drew his sword again, cut off the sleeves of his robe, and said sternly  : "The enemy is at hand, and my lord has passed away. If the eldest son does not obey the previous master's order to succeed him, the country will be in danger! I will invite the eldest son to succeed you today. If any officials have any objections, take this robe as an example!"

    "Please give me the throne, your eldest son!" Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other important civil servants of Cao's army shouted in unison, kowtow to Cao Ang and begged.

    "Please give me your eldest son, please take the throne!" Dian Wei, Cao Hong and other important generals of Cao's army also shouted in unison, kowtowing and kneeling to Cao Ang, and most of them were firm and firm.

    Cao Ang, who couldn't withstand the begging of all the important civil and military ministers and actually didn't want to give up his throne to his younger brother, finally accepted everyone's request and inherited the throne in front of Cao Cao's body, taking over Cao Cao's self-proclaimed position as Liangzhou Mu and Da Sikong.  With the official position of Sili Xiaowei, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had no choice but to kneel down in front of Cao Ang and worship, saying "Lord".  I felt extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing I could do about it.  Fortunately, Cao Ang was also reasonable and allowed Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other brothers to still call themselves elder brothers, and did not force the younger brothers to call themselves lord.

    Although he was forced to admit that Cao Ang had inherited his father's power, Cao Pi still refused to give up. As soon as all the officials knelt down and saluted, the twenty-year-old Cao Pi was the first to stand up, bowed his hands to Cao Ang and said, "Brother, my father died in Tao."  We should be annihilating the thieves, but this revenge is not avenged. We are ashamed to be sons of man. Now that Tao Ying has annihilated the thieves and his troops have entered the pass, Zhong Yuanchang (Zhong Yao) is trapped in the isolated city of Hongnong. How to defeat the enemy and how to avenge his father?  Please tell me how to save Hongnong from danger."

    "Yes, brother, what the second brother said makes sense."

    Cao Zhi, who was only fifteen years old, knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it. He immediately understood that Cao Pi's words were unkind, so he stood up immediately, choked and held his hands to Cao Ang and said: "Brother, my father was killed by Tao Ying's thieves."  , the father's hatred is irreconcilable. You are the elder brother and the father's heir. You should lead us to send troops to revenge. Otherwise, we cannot explain to the father's spirit in heaven. Although the younger brother is not talented, he also begs the older brother to personally raise the troops and leave the customs.  Let¡¯s go and fight to the death with Tao Ying¡¯s annihilating bandits, my little brother, please be the vanguard.¡±

    Cao Ang is in dire straits. The remaining strength of Cao Ang's army, let alone revenge for Boss Cao, is a blessing to be able to hold Tongguan and the Yellow River defense line. How dare Cao Ang be so stupid as to lead his army out for a decisive battle?  However, if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's request is rejected, Cao Ang's charge of unfilial piety will immediately be confirmed, making the hardliners in Cao's army dissatisfied.

    Fortunately, Boss Cao also left many reliable civil servants and advisers to Cao Ang. Guo Jia, who had long known that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had bad intentions, immediately stood up and coughed and said: "Although what you two gentlemen said is reasonable, it is important for the military and state affairs."  It¡¯s nothing more than child¡¯s play. Right now, the Lord is heartbroken because of the unfortunate death of the late master, and his mind is in a disorder. How to defeat the enemy requires a long-term plan, so you two young masters don¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    "Mr. Fengxiao's words are reasonable. Revenge requires long-term planning." Cao Ang nodded quickly and said: "Besides, Brother Yu has already written to Liu Xuande, asking him to send troops to help.Liu Xuande complied with the covenant and personally led his army to quickly come for reinforcements. The Hanzhong army will arrive in Chang'an in the next few days. After the reinforcements arrive, Brother Yu will discuss the matter of revenge with everyone.  "

    "What?!" Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, who had just returned to Chang'an, were both shocked. They shouted to Cao Ang and asked, "My Lord, you have written to Liu Bei, asking him to bring troops to help?"

    "Exactly." Cao Ang nodded and admitted. Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were shocked and quickly turned to look at Xun Yu next to them. Xun Yu, who was left in Chang'an by Cao Boss to assist Cao Ang, smiled bitterly and nodded, admitting that this was indeed the case, and winked.  He signaled to Guo Jia and Cheng Yu to talk about this later, so as not to embarrass Cao Ang in the argument.

    Because Cao Cao's coffin had just been returned to Chang'an, the filial son Cao Ang did not hold any banquet to celebrate his succession. After a simple succession ceremony, he immediately became busy with funeral arrangements. He led the civil and military officials to hold mourning ceremonies and was extremely busy.  It was also at this time that Xun Yu took the time to introduce the situation to Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, explaining that Cao Ang had directly asked Uncle Liu for help behind his back. He also said that Uncle Liu's reinforcements had arrived in Chencang and would arrive in Chang'an within a few days. As a result, Cheng Yu and  Guo Jia was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the spot, and lamented together: "My eldest son, you are trying to lure the wolf into the house, you are luring the wolf into the house. Our army rejects tigers at the front door, but wolves come in at the back door, making the situation even more precarious."

    After lamenting, Guo Jia scolded Xun Yu again: "Mr. Wen Ruo, why didn't you persuade the eldest son more? Tell him that Liu Bei is a white-eyed wolf. The first thing he did when he got there was to think about how to devour the master as a guest.  By leading his army to Chang'an, is he digging his own grave?"

    "I tried to persuade him, but there was nothing I could do. The eldest son just refused to listen."  When I did something like this, I quietly introduced Liu Bei, the thief, into Guanzhong."

    "The deal is done, there's no point in regretting it." Cheng Yu said with a depressed look: "The immediate plan is to persuade the eldest son as soon as possible to beware of Liu Bei's annihilation of thieves. We must not let the big-eared thieves gain a foothold in the pass, let alone us.  The army was handed over to the command of Cao Cao."

    "I have warned the eldest son repeatedly about this. You two gentlemen can also try to persuade the eldest son to prevent him from being confused again." Xun Yu nodded, and then said: "Fengxiao, Zhongde, I have an idea.  I wonder if it¡¯s possible?¡±

    "What's Mr. Wenruo's clever plan?" Guo Jia and Cheng Yu asked quickly.

    "Liu Bei has informed our army in a letter that his army will arrive in Chang'an on the 15th of this month."  Return to Tongguan on the 15th to buy time for our army to Tongguan. In terms of time, I just happened to catch up, so I wanted to use the excuse that Hongnong was in a hurry and let the big-eared bandit's army arrive in Chang'an and immediately let his army go out to rescue Hongnong.  Tao Ying's hands eliminated the big-ear thieves, and also used the big-ear thieves' hands to weaken Tao Ying, increasing our army's hope of holding on to Tongguan and the Yellow River defense line."

    "Mr. Wen Ruo, you are just fanciful." Guo Jia smiled bitterly, coughing and said: "How could the big-eared thief do such a deceitful thing to commit suicide? Just look at it, if we let the lord come forward to ask Big-eared  If the thief does this, the big-eared thief will definitely find every excuse to refuse, and while trying to preserve his strength, he will annex us at all costs."

    "That's right." Cheng Yu nodded vigorously, agreeing with Guo Jia's judgment of Uncle Liu Huang's character.  Then Cheng Yu asked Xun Yu with great confusion: "Mr. Wen Ruo, such a crude strategy doesn't seem to come from your style? Do you have a plan to prompt the big-eared thief to do this?"

    "Zhongde really knows my heart." Xun Yu finally showed a smile and said: "That's what I think. Since the big-eared thief has clearly come to fish in troubled waters and plan to annex our army, then let's just take this  The matter was publicly exposed, and the eldest son was asked to promise to the big-eared thief that as long as the big-eared thief helped our army rescue Hongnong's troops, and then helped our army to defend Tongguan, and persisted until Tao Ying retreated, the eldest son would surrender to the big-eared thief and put the  The army and the land in Guanzhong were handed over to the Big Ear bandits. At the same time, the eldest son secretly ordered Zhong Yao not to break out of the encirclement, nor to allow the Big Ear bandits to enter the city to station, and allowed Tao Ying to annihilate the bandits and the Big Ear bandits to fight outside the city.  Then we can seize the natural dangers of Tongguan and cut off the big-eared thieves' return route, and the plan will be successful."

    "If we do this, it may be feasible." Cheng Yuxi said: "As long as we can convince the big-eared thief that we are sincerely prepared to surrender to him, he is likely to accept the not too difficult task of rescuing Zhong Yao."

    "It's worth a try." Guo Jia also nodded and said: "We will go to see the eldest son tonight and jointly propose a plan to persuade the eldest son to accept this plan. As long as the eldest son agrees to adopt this plan, the three of us can pretend to surrender to the big-eared thief.  .¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After the plan was finalized, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others went to the mourning hall that night and invited Cao Ang, who personally guarded his father's funeral, to the back hall and asked Cao Ang alone.Ang Lichen and Liu Huangshu formed an alliance and joined forces, and then offered this plan. They also volunteered to come forward and secretly feign surrender to Liu Huangshu, making Liu Huangshu believe that Cao Jun's important officials were all interested in him.  After Cao Ang heard the plan of Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, not only did he not immediately adopt it, but on the contrary, he was extremely surprised. He looked at Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others up and down, with doubts on his face.

    "Lord, what's the matter?" Xun Yu was a little flustered by Cao Ang's sight. He almost misunderstood Cao Ang's thoughts and hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said, "Lord, please don't worry.  I don¡¯t dare to have any dissatisfaction with the two generations of lords. If the lord is worried that Yu and others will take the opportunity to surrender to Liu, Yu and others are willing to die to prove their ambition."

    "Uncle Xun misunderstood." Cao Ang quickly stood up, picked up Xun Yu with both hands, and then whispered: "Uncle Xun, two uncles, my nephew does not dare to deceive you. My nephew was surprised just now. I am not worried that you will betray your nephew."  , but I¡¯m surprised that your strategy is exactly the same as my nephew¡¯s.¡±

    "What?!" Xun Yu raised his head in surprise and lowered his voice and asked, "My lord, are you also planning to use this strategy?"

    "It's not preparation, but it has already been carried out." Cao Ang said in a low voice: "At this point, my nephew has not concealed it from the three uncles. In fact, my nephew asked Liu Bei for help behind Uncle Xun's back and invited Liu Bei to lead his troops north.  In fact, it was to lure Liu Bei out of seclusion to fight Tao Ying. This was the plan of Sima Yi, my nephew¡¯s confidant. Sima Yi had also received my secret order and secretly contacted Liu Bei to pretend to surrender and took the opportunity to act. My nephew had not dared to confront his uncle before.  I made it clear that firstly I am worried that my uncle will oppose my nephew's taking risks, and secondly I am afraid that the news will be leaked. I hope my uncle will not mind the deception."

    "No wonder the time is just right. It turns out that the eldest son has been planning this for a long time."  The purpose of leading the jackal into Guanzhong.  Then Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others asked Cao Ang to summon Sima Yi immediately, and directly learned about the progress of Sima Yi's secret surrender to Liu Huangshu. They also discussed carefully how to win Liu Huangshu's trust, and jointly made a plan to drive away wolves and fight tigers until night  Shencai left happily.

    By the way, before leaving, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu once wanted to tell Cao Ang the last words of Boss Cao, which was the words not to avenge Boss Cao, but when the words came to their lips, after thinking about it again and again, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu decided  They kept these last words secret for the time being, because both Guo Jia and Cheng Yu knew very well that once Cao Ang, who was already quite close to Tao, learned of these words, the army might never have a chance to avenge Boss Cao.

    The plan to trap Liu Huangshu to death was coincident, but when it was actually implemented, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others found that they had underestimated Liu Huangshu, because Cao Jun's detailed plan from Chencang was suddenly delivered the next day.  According to the news about the movements of the Emperor's uncle's army, after the troops of Emperor Liu's army left the pass, they changed their anxious attitude from marching more than sixty miles a day when they arrived in Chencang. They stayed stationary in Chencang for three consecutive days and did not go east to Chang'an.  further!

    "Standing still for three days in a row?" Cao Ang was shocked and said in surprise: "Why did Liu Bei stand still? In his letter to me, didn't he say that he would arrive in Chang'an before August 15th? Today is already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.  In addition to our careful delivery time, if he still stands still in Chencang today, how will he be able to reach Chang'an before August 15th?"

    "Oops, I'm afraid we can't make it in time." Guo Jia and Cheng Yu also complained repeatedly. Guo Jia said: "Zhong Yuanchang only has about 4,000 troops in his hands. He promised to hold on to Hongnong until August 25th before abandoning the city.  Breaking through the encirclement is already extremely difficult, and if he is allowed to extend the period of holding on, I am afraid that Zhong Yuanchang will not even have the troops to break out of the encirclement."

    "My lord, try harder." Xun Yu suggested: "My lord, you might as well send a fast horse to deliver a letter to the big-eared bandit, using humble and anxious words to implore Liu Bei to immediately send troops to the west. You might as well show some intention to surrender.  , to induce Liu Bei to immediately raise his troops and march westward."

    Cao Ang agreed and quickly picked up the pen. Guo Jia hurriedly said: "My lord, you should give an order to Zhong Yao, asking him to persist until the end of August before breaking out. Zhong Yuanchang is a person trusted by the late lord.  You are loyal and loyal, and if you receive an order, no matter how difficult it is, he will definitely carry it out to the end."

    Cao Ang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, in Chencang City, our Uncle Liu Huang was leading Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and other confidants to admire the scenery of the Qinling Mountains on the Chencang City Wall, talking about the past and the present, and mentioned that his ancestor Liu Bang entered Guanzhong from here and laid the foundation for the Four Hundred Years of the Two Han Dynasties.  When he founded the Han Dynasty, Uncle Liu inevitably shed pure heroic tears again. He lamented that he was almost fifty years old, but he had never accomplished anything, and the goal of reviving the Han Dynasty was even more distant. Then he burst into tears and was very emotional.

    I have never been interested in reviving the Han Dynasty.Pang Tong, who was very interested, was too lazy to look at Liu Huangshu's pretentiousness. He took advantage of Liu Huangshu's opportunity to wipe away his tears and quickly changed the subject, saying: "My lord, considering the time, the news that our army has been stationary in Chencang should be sent to Chang'an City. My lord thinks,  How should Cao Ang Shuzi react to this?"

    "It doesn't matter how nephew Cao Ang reacts to this." Liu Huangshu sighed: "What matters is that there is a big problem with nephew Cao Ang's defense deployment. Nephew Cao Pi secretly reported to me, saying that it was Cao Ang who ordered Guo Jia and Cheng  Yu and others left four thousand troops in Hongnong and asked Zhong Yao to lead them to defend the city and buy time for Tongguan to set up defenses. If our army arrived in Chang'an as scheduled, Cao Ang's nephew would definitely ask our army to go out to rescue Zhong Yuanchang.  , if our army agrees by then and comes out exhausted, how can it be the opponent of Tao Ying's army of annihilating tigers and wolves? If we refuse, it will hurt the friendship between allies. It's a dilemma."

    After that, Uncle Liu sighed again and choked up: "In view of this situation, Bei has no choice but to break his trust to Cao Ang's nephew once, and let our soldiers have a good rest for a few days to recuperate their strength until confirmed.  The Tao bandits are approaching Tongguan, and it won't be too late to send out troops to rescue Cao Ang's nephew."
