    The officers and soldiers intercepted Cao Chong. When Cao Chong saw that his identity was exposed, he couldn't help but worry about how many people I have on hand. Even if one of them is worth ten, I can kill this patrol, but once the noise starts and the army surrounds me, even if I have wings,  It was difficult to escape. He crossed his sword and wiped it on his neck. "Gu'an can return to Luo and be humiliated by a child?!" When his followers saw that their lord was dead, they also drew their swords and committed suicide. In the end, the officers and soldiers carried seven  Report the corpse to Cao Hong and others.  Cao Hong felt sad again, but also secretly felt a hint of joy that the battle was over. He immediately ordered: "Since Li Yang is dead, we will announce it to the city tomorrow and order him to surrender." He turned around and praised Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming  If Yun Bi escapes at night, he will definitely be captured. "Zhuge Liang sighed softly: "It's a pity that he can't survive." Outside the tent, Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang surrounded Zhuge Liang and asked him, "How did Kong Ming predict it?"  Is he going to escape at night?" Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said, "It's a lucky thing. Now the situation is determined. Liyang will be destroyed. He will die, surrender, or escape. How can you do that?" Cao Xiu asked again, "How can you do that?  Did you expect that he would just run away without his family?  Special sentinels were ordered to patrol, but they saw a team of young and strong men. Even if they intercepted them, they still did not stop the fleeing people like we did a few days ago. I am afraid that Cao rushed out.  Zhuge Liang replied: "Since ancient times, most people who plot rebellion have ignored their relatives. King Liyang disobeyed his father's orders and betrayed his nephew. How can he love others? Why should he cherish his relatives?" Cao Chong did not have a son and only had one wife and concubines. If he  If you really think about your family, you won't dare to make trouble.  Now the person sitting on the throne is his nephew. If he doesn't even love his nephew, how can he still love women?  In fact, he had heard some things from his master Shixun, but he didn't dare to tell the public. When Cao Zhang died violently, 99% of it was poisoned by someone sent by Cao Chong. How could such a cold-blooded political animal hang his wife and concubines?  In your heart?  Xia Houshang was still a little confused: "What if he hides among the people and escapes?" Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly: "After King Liyang returned to the vassal, he often comforted the people. He rewarded farming and weaving, and the country regarded him as a virtuous king. Then he knew  There must be many people with their appearance, how can they dare to come out without worrying about the country fools? They dare not go even in the daytime, but they must escape at night." With this analysis, Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang were convinced.  It stands to reason that all the Cao and Xiahous were on good terms with Shixun, and Zhuge Liang was a disciple of Shixun, so he should have been a comrade. The problem was that Zhuge Liang had been an official in the Ministry of War for many years.  No matter how well fed the troops are, the warriors who risk their lives to fight on the front lines and the civil servants who sit in the back offices are naturally incompatible with each other. No matter how cautious they are, it is easy for them to have conflicts. Therefore, Cao Xiu and others only treat Mr. Zhuge.  Just being polite on the surface.  Now that I have received this teaching, I have begun to realize that I am very wise and have a deep understanding of Taoism. From then on, I am truly convinced and have a happy relationship with each other.  Early the next morning.  The officers and soldiers used halberds to carry Cao Chong's clothes and persuaded him to surrender under the city.  When the soldiers on the city heard that Cao Chong was dead, they were all heartbroken and their hearts were in confusion. Yi Ji could not restrain him no matter what.  In the end, I had no choice but to let out a long sigh, climbed up to the city alone, looked down at the fortress, and shouted: "I am not signing up now, but I am not Yin Lei, but a member of the Han Dynasty. I wanted to mess up Guandong and save the Han Dynasty. But God did not bless the Han Dynasty. In the end,  What's the use of my life if it overturns?" He leaned forward and his head hit the bottom of the city.  Die by suicide.  The defenders then opened the city gate, tied themselves up and asked to surrender.  Cao Hong ordered his troops to take a break and first sent his own troops into the city to control the palace and the four gates, and then rode in with great arrogance.  Taking this opportunity, Cao Zilian searched the Liyang Palace.  After picking up the things, he loaded them into a car and transported them secretly to his hometown of Qiao County. The remaining coarse things, together with Cao Chong's wives, concubines, servants, etc., were then recorded in the public account and taken to Luoyang.  Of course, it is impossible to completely hide this kind of thing from others. As the good news came to Beijing, the imperial censor soon impeached Cao Hong.  Cao Mao asked the important ministers for their opinions, and Shi Xun said: "As a soldier who served the country, he has done such a great service, and the court will reward him. How can he be punished for minor mistakes?" Cao Mao couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself, "What are you doing?"  Are you complaining about your demotion? Wang Lang, Hua Xin and others also persuaded them, saying that there was no need to punish the generals of the clan for such a small amount of wealth. Besides, Cao Hong's actions could not be considered illegal, and he was basically walking on the edge of the law.  , after making some gray income, people in later generations often have wild imaginations and say that Cao Zilian is corrupt. In fact, there is no clear record in history. At most, he was just good at amassing money and being stingy. It cannot be said that he has violated the prohibition.  For example, in the past, checkpoints were set up to collect taxes. At that time, all soldiers and horses were doing this, and Cao Zilian did it the most excessively. Later, Cao Cao used his words of honor to order the checkpoints at Guanjin. Although Cao Hong was not happy,  , and still obeyed obediently.  Let's just talk about plundering the property of Prince Liyang. He could argue that according to the custom of using troops, after capturing a city, the soldiers should be allowed to plunder. As a reward, these were all robbed by my family.  Just thank me for the kindness you have received and donate to me.  The old law didn't say it was against the law, and the new law hadn't been incorporated into the imperial court yet, so what could the court do with him?    Cao Mao had no choice but to endure it. Instead, he issued an edict to commend Cao Hong and gave him three thousand gold as a reward.  As soon as Cao Hong arrived in Luoyang, he happily went to the Ministry of Yu to collect the three thousand gold. However, the officials in charge all shook their heads and said that the ministry had not provided any expenditure for this.  Finally, they found Yuan Huan, the Minister of Yu, and Yuan Yaoqing quoted Cao Mao's words: "The former auxiliary country received more than three thousand gold from Liyang? Are you still not satisfied?" Cao Hong retreated in shame.  Besides, Zhou Buyi, a disciple of Xun, was an official of King Liyang. He had repeatedly persuaded Cao Chong to obey the central government. Cao Chong got tired of hearing this and finally imprisoned him when the incident broke out.  When Liyang was besieged, the city was short of food, and no one could take care of the prisoners in the prison. Zhou Yuanzhi starved to death.  Zhuge Liang found his remains only after entering the city and sent people to his hometown Lingling for burial.  The news came that Xun had been in mourning for so many years. The only person who could truly understand two or three of his ideas from later generations was Zhou Yuanzhi, and he didn't want to die so tragically.  So he ordered people to collect Zhou Buyi's manuscripts and planned to publish them in a collection.  But when the manuscript was collected, Shi Xun came over and read it over by himself. I couldn't help but sweat running down my back. This little guy's thinking is too forward and his thoughts are too cynical. If this spreads, his tomb will be flooded with spittle.  Instead of loving him, she harmed him.  Forget it, I won¡¯t publish it anymore, just hide it in the inner room for the future.  Half a month after Liyang was restored, another good news from the southwest came to Luoyang.  It turns out that Gan Ning and Wang Ping retreated to Jiangzhou that day and were surrounded by Niu Jin and others.  After several attempts to break out of the encirclement, they were ultimately defeated, their morale dropped and they were unable to perform their duties.  Ma Su went to the city twice to persuade Gan Ning to surrender.  It is said that your country has been destroyed. Who are you protecting this lonely city for now?  And in accordance with the instructions of Shi Xun and Cao Ren, he promised to show his rank to high officials.  The key is that Shixun admired Gan Ning quite a lot when he was studying history in his previous life.  Niu Jin couldn't bear to see him die, so he begged Cao Ren: "Gan Xing is domineering, loyal and courageous, and there is no one in Shu who can compare with him. If he could survive, he would be great." Moreover, Niu Jin repeatedly attacked the city, causing many casualties, but Gan Ning and Wang Ping always fought hard.  After retreating, he gradually did not dare to attack by force. He just surrounded them and waited for them to destroy themselves.  But Ma Su entered the city to persuade him to surrender.  Gan Ning just refused to listen and made a request: "The Lord is here, but I am dead. Although the prince (Liu Feng) is dead, the heir (Liu Chan) is still alive. If the heir comes, I would rather surrender."  This title is confusing enough. Liu Feng is the prince, but Liu Chan is the emperor.  The main thing is that Gan Ning has never been involved in the internal disputes of the Shu Han court, and has no clear tendency, so he can only be called according to the highest status that the two guys have ever achieved.  Gan Ning guards Jiangzhou.  This defense lasted for more than four months. Seeing that the food in the city was almost exhausted, the soldiers became more rebellious and knew that they would only die if they continued to persist.  Wang Ping also advised him politely.  It is said that the general trend is like this and cannot be reversed by human power.  Now I heard that the heir has been protected by Zhao Zilong and fled to Yongchang. He is thousands of miles away. Even if he can regroup and make a comeback, he doesn't know how to get it in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.  If we continue to defend Jiangzhou, it will be of no use to the country. It will only harm human lives in vain, so why bother?  Just at this moment, Ma Youchang came over again.  Gan Ning was still unable to make a decision, and said bitterly: "I have received great favor from the late Lord, and I am ashamed to eat Wei Su!" Ma Di said that in this case, let me show you a clear way, "General, if you don't want to be paid, you can follow Di"  Returning to Luo in white clothes, we are now building a fleet in the East China Sea, following the three Han and Japanese countries in the east, and heading south to Linyi and Funan. There are countless islands in the vast ocean, which the Chinese have never heard of.  When the general was young, he crossed the river. If he could sail a boat, he could be given a boat or two and let the general go away, so that he could survive without eating Wei Su. " " This was Xun's idea when he wrote to Ma Su.  , mentioned briefly.  Shi Xun felt that it was a pity that Gan Xingba had been a pirate. It was better to let him become a pirate. He might have been able to open up Southeast Asia hundreds of years earlier. Gan Ning had no choice but to lead Wang Ping to surrender from the city.  Both Wang Ping and Ping were assigned military posts by Cao and Wei, but Gan Xingba took the initiative to remove his armor and board the prison car, saying that you should take me to Luoyang as a prisoner.  At the same time, Cao Ren also pacified the entire territory of Yizhou, and immediately sent his troops south to Yizhou to attack from the north and south with Huang Zhong and others, and finally defeated the powerful chiefs such as Zhu Bao and Yong Kai.  Yong Kai was killed by the barbarians on his way to escape, but Zhu Bao surrendered and was sent to live in the Central Plains.  Then the army was about to advance into Yongchang in great strength.  But it was already summer, and the climate in central South China was hot and plagued by malaria. Not to mention the Chinese soldiers, even soldiers from Shu fell ill one after another.  Cao Ren had no choice but to return to Chengdu temporarily and report to the emperor, planning to wait until the weather cooled down after autumn before continuing to advance.  Besides, Zhuge Dan was ordered by Shi Xun to send Lu Hong a silk robe as a farewell gift, but he disappeared without a trace and did not return until more than a month later.  Coincidentally, he bumped into him again in front of the mansion and asked, "Why are you late to return home from work?" Zhuge Dan answered honestly, "There was no sign of Lu Cifan on the road, and I went straight to Luling, where I met my fate." Now he is interested in coming back. That guy really dares to go to Luling County to take office. "Do you want to meet Lu Cifan?" Zhuge Dan said of course he would, and he also gave me the things, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come.  "What can Cifan say?" "Lu Cifan accepted the gift from the lord, but said: 'The rudeness of the younger generation is due to the kindness of the public.'" "The rudeness of the younger generation" is on the surface to say that he is at fault and asks you to send him.  People send gifts so far away, but how can they not understand the meaning behind the words?  Lu Hong is several years older than Shixun. Even if he flatters Shangguan again, he can use modest words such as "merely" and "cow and horse go". He will not call himself a "junior". In fact, this is scolding me.  Come on!  He couldn't help but follow Zhuge Dan to return his orders to Shixun. After Zhuge Dan retreated, he asked Shixun: "Your Excellency, are you not afraid of Lu Cifan exposing my secrets?" Shixun smiled and shook his head: "His name is  If you are evil, how can you touch me? I have already comforted you." (To be continued.)
