The establishment of the temporary court in Lujiang unexpectedly aroused Cao Fang's fierce reaction.

The counselor Wang Lang rushed from Xuchang to Lujiang and sent a letter on behalf of Cao Cao. He ordered his elder brother to dissolve the "fake court" in the shortest time, wrote a letter to apologize, and received the seal of the queen and the emperor.

Wang Lang is also a not simple person. He is very brave. In front of our elder brother and all the civil and military officials, he directly accused his elder brother of "establishing the court" as a rebellion for the sake of damaging the country. If he cannot repent, he will be infamous for thousands of years in the future.

However, his words and deeds were obviously a big deal. Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Kuai Yue, and even Xu Jing were all masters of tongue debate and ruthlessly refuted Wang Lang's fallacy on the spot.

For a moment, there was a tide of debate in the court.

Unfortunately, Wang Lang did not have the ability to "fight against all the scholars", and soon, under Zhuge Liang's several consecutive soft nails, he was speechless.

What makes me feel quite regretful that Zhuge Liang, who is "watching the battle", seems to have not reached the level of being able to "swear to death" in the legend ("cursing Wang Lang to death" is a plot in the Romance, so there is no need to delve into it). Although Wang Lang's face was red and red, and his beard was almost pissed up under his chin and beard, he finally left Lujiang safely.

In fact, from the moment the temporary court was established in Lujiang, the eldest brother had completely turned his face with Cao Cao, and there was no mercy between them.

Before this, because Emperor Xiaoxian (the posthumous title of Emperor Xian of Han) was in Xuchang, at least on the surface, the elder brother had to obey those emperors who were clearly appointed, but was actually Cao Cao's government orders. Moreover, many times when appointing important military and political positions, the elder brother had to write a letter to Xuchang.

However, with the death of Emperor Xiaoxian and the establishment of the temporary court, this last veil was completely removed. With Cao Cao's wisdom, it was impossible to see this, so the reason why he still sent Wang Lang to Lujiang.

In fact, it was also a measure forced by the situation. The failure to succeed in sending an envoy only means that Cao Cao has completely lost his binding force on his elder brother. It is nothing to do with the previous relationship between the two parties. But if you watch another court establish and have no reaction at all, it will easily cause the world that Cao Cao has already agreed to exist in the Lujiang court, which is definitely something that Cao Cao does not want to see.

So, after all, the result of Wang Lang's trip to Lujiang was actually known to both sides for a long time, but they still had to do this form.

.

Compared to Cao Cao's fierce reaction, scholars from various northern prefectures and counties were not so disgusted with the establishment of the temporary court in Lujiang and the fact that the eldest brother took office as the general.

Although there was also a "monarchical" literati written by Cao Cao, many scholars responded rather dullly.

The scholars from Jing, Yang and Jiaozhou expressed their recognition of the Lujiang court with a nearly cheerful attitude. If it were not for the national mourning period, I was afraid that the whole country would be filled with cannons and lights and decorations to celebrate.

……………………………………………………….

During this period, Pang Tong sent several documents from Xiangyang, some related to the military and political affairs of Jingzhou, and some related to the situation on Zhang Lu's side.

On the fourth day after I returned to Yangzhou, Pang Tong rushed to Xiangyang, and with the assistance of Huang Zhong and Ma Liang, he took charge of the military and political affairs of Jingzhou.

While committed to making up for the losses caused by war in various counties, Pang Tong also put in hard work on defense - restoring the city. Reorganizing the soldiers and making arrangements to keep a close eye on the movements of the Cao army in Runan and Nanyang...

In short, everything in Jingzhou is in an orderly manner.

Regarding the situation on Zhang Lu's side, Pang Tong specifically mentioned that invading Zhang Ren, the general of the Yizhou Army in Jiangzhou, repeatedly hurt Zhang Wei. However, just as he was about to break the city, he suddenly lifted the siege and began to retreat towards Jiangyang.

Contact Liu Zhang four days ago, he sent Wang Lei to Yangzhou to mourn Emperor Xiaoxian. Zhang Ren's withdrawal was a matter of fate. It is obvious that Liu Zhang did not want to get into evil with our army in a short period of time.

Of course, the deterrence of force of Liu Pan, Lu Xun and Lu Meng also played a significant role in it.

Zhang Lu also sent Yan Pu to Yangzhou to mourn the emperor, and at the same time he expressed his intention to strengthen the relationship between the two sides...

Because Jingzhou was calm for a while, I stayed in Lujiang with peace of mind. On the one hand, I helped my elder brother stabilize the situation and handle affairs. On the other hand, I also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity.

I fulfill my duties as a husband and father and make good compensation for Rong'er and the children.

.

The General's Mansion in the West. Inside the inner courtyard

It is already in the middle of winter, and the cold wind blows away the green in the garden. It is mostly withered and yellow scenes, but the small plum blossom forest shows a rare color of white flowers and green leaves.

The faint fragrance ripples with the cool and cool wind, which makes it feel quite pleasant.

Holding the soft and delicate hand like a gentle jade, I half-wrapped Rong'er slowly in the plum blossom forest. Although I was already a mother of two children, Rong'er's fresh and elegant temperament has not faded at all, and time has left no trace on her.

At first glance, she has celebrated her 24th birthday, just like when she first met her, but she has a bit more mature charm.

"Madam, I remember six years ago, I was in such a plum blossom forest..." I stopped, and with a sense of aftertaste, lowered my head and said to the jade man in my arms.

Plum blossoms are Rong'er's favorite flower, so after moving from Shouchun to Lujiang, I specially ordered someone to plant a plum blossom tree in my new mansion.

"Yeah..." Rong'er chuckled, and her bright eyes became hazy, as if she was recalling the scene back then.

"Six years, Ren Baoer and Xingcai are over five years old..." I whispered with a look of guilt, "In the past six years, we have always been together for a long time, and Baoer and Xingcai are mostly raised by you alone... I really owe you too much.

”

For some reason, seeing the plum blossoms on the snow reminded me of the white banners and forests during the Emperor's Great Sacrifice. One day, the emperor died so miserably, which made people sigh that life was impermanent.

Born in this chaotic world, no one can be sure when he will die. Especially generals like me may die on the battlefield at any time.

No matter how proficient in military tactics and how many battles are experienced, you will inevitably encounter some inestimable factors on the battlefield. If you are lucky, you can escape safely. If you are lucky, you may have to be covered with a horse.

The impermanence of life makes me feel the preciousness of family affection. If I can really help my elder brother end this troubled times and achieve the unification of the world, I will definitely leave all positions and share the joy of family with my beloved wife, children and grandchildren with peace of mind.

"My husband, I don't regret everything after meeting you..." Rong'er shook her head gently, turned around to face my eyes, and the tenderness in her eyes could almost melt people.

"Huh~~!" I sighed lightly. I was just waiting to hug my beloved wife who had been able to cultivate for several lifetimes, but I was interrupted by a "raided" meat ball.

"Dad, my sister bullied me!" Bao'er pulled my robe and complained angrily.

"Huh?" I turned around in surprise and looked at the bud beside my legs. I looked at Xingcai who was playing with the maid Jin'er not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Baoer now has much height and weight, which is much higher than Xingcai. At first glance, he is at least three or four years older than Xingcai. With Baoer's current body shape and strength, he is actually bullied by Xingcai, which is really unbelievable.

Seeing my eyes on her, Xingcai girl smiled sweetly.

Thinking of the girl's ghostly personality, I suddenly realized it. Although Bao'er is strong, he is more scheming than his sister. Naturally, he will suffer some small losses when playing, and even if he suffers, he cannot attack Xingcai. He has to complain to me.

"Baoer, let some Xingcai, are you brother!" I bent down, picked up the heavy Baoer, and comforted her with a smile.

"Xiao Cai is always cautious..." Bao'er said unwillingly, still bulging her mouth.

This kid is not as straightforward as he looks on the outside. In fact, he is quite smart, knowing that Xingcai is playing tricks.

"Okay. Don't worry about it too much with my sister. I asked Aunt Zhuge (Huang Yueying) to make you a Trojan horse that can walk by yourself. OK?" I smiled and coaxed Bao'er, diverting his attention.

"Dad. Is there really a Trojan who can leave by himself?" The little guy was indeed attracted and asked anxiously.

"Of course, dad won't lie to you!" I put the little guy down, patted his butt gently, and said with a smile, "Go and play with my sister, remember not to make trouble..."

Seeing Baoer walking towards Xingcai in a hesitant manner, and soon after, he was playing with his sister under Jin'er's coaxing, I turned around and smiled with Rong'er.

"My husband, please take Jin'er!" Looking at the joking child in the distance, Rong'er suddenly spoke.

"Yeah?" I was a little surprised at first, and then I realized that my wife wanted me to take Jin'er as my concubine.

"The uncle's family has two sisters-in-law, and the second uncle is also (the second brother took a concubine last year). The civil and military officials I know at least have one wife and one concubine in the family, and only my husband, and to this day, there is only one concubine... Others will think that I am jealous..." Rong'er's words were a little sad and embarrassed, "Jin'er has been following me for more than ten years. She has a good appearance, character, and temperament. She is not young now. She might as well take her into the room, which can be regarded as being a companion with me.

”

After hearing Rong'er's words, I just smiled faintly.

"What does my husband mean?" Rong'er seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of my smile and asked softly.

To be honest, that girl Jin'er has a good face, but she is considered a human being. And she has been in charge of many affairs in the mansion over the years. But I really have no intention of remarrying.

"Jin'er is indeed at the age of marriage..." I looked at Rong'er with a little reluctant smile and said with a chuckling, "It's better... let me accept her as my adopted daughter and find a better home for her. What do you think about it, Madam?"

"Ah~~?" Rong'er sighed softly and looked at me in disbelief.

Judging from age, it is not outrageous that 23-year-old Jin'er is my adopted daughter. Although she was a maid before, as long as she became my adopted daughter, she would not have to worry about not marrying a young talented man.

"In my life, it is a blessing that I can have a wife as my wife, Baoer and Xingcai. I dare not ask for too much..." I sighed and said slowly.

The jade man covered his sandalwood mouth lightly, his delicate body trembled slightly, and then he threw himself into my arms regardless of everything...

After gently tapping the wooden door a few times, a slightly tired voice came from the room: "Who is it?"
