Chapter 359 Cao Rui Junchen! The First Set of Purple Outfits Is Released! (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)

When the ministers of the Wei Dynasty were arguing.

Little did he know, there was a pair of eyes that was paying attention here, taking in all the words and deeds of everyone present.

Cao Shuang completed the ceremony and joined the territory.

He has become a subject under the rule of the tribal leader.

Of course, Hang Yu can use Cao Shuang as an anchor to observe the surrounding environment from the lord's perspective.

Jia Xu's luck ability was so useful that his people were mixed into a large group of bosses, and the bosses, big and small, couldn't identify him.

The effect of the Evernight Curtain is not absolute.

If there is someone present who is more powerful than Jia Xu, or has other means to counteract the curtain of eternal night, then he will still be able to sense the aura of the stars on Cao Shuang.

But this is almost impossible.

Jia Xu is already the king of the abyss.

It is impossible for anyone above the throne of king to exist in this place.

The Curtain of Eternal Night is a top-level purple luck skill. Unless someone possesses orange-level perception or insight, it will be difficult to break through the Curtain of Eternal Night.

so.

As long as Cao Shuang doesn't make mistakes.

No matter what, you won't expose yourself.

"Is this the king of Wei? It's more interesting than imagined!"

Through the perspective of the lord, Hang Yu glanced at Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei Dynasty, and the civil and military officials.

have to say.

The strength of this group of people is higher than expected.

First of all, what deserves the most attention is Cao Rui, the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, whose shape is severely distorted and is suspected to have been severely contaminated and deformed.

He is not only the emperor of Wei.

It is the most hidden existence of Wei Dynasty.

Through Cao Shuang, Hang Yu could only judge that Cao Rui had at least the rank of Abyss King, but he couldn't tell how strong he was.

for sure.

He is not an ordinary powerful person with a throne!

Maybe he is the most difficult person in Wei Dynasty!

Hang Yu's eyes then swept over dozens of civil and military officials.

The tasks gathered here are the strongest foundation of Wei Dynasty, and there is indeed no ordinary person among them!

There are only a few Abyss Commanders.

Most of these abyss commanders are very young.

Their names are generally not heard of. They are most likely not historical figures, but indigenous upstarts who have risen in the past few decades. In terms of potential and qualifications, they are not inferior to the elderly.

There are only other famous figures in history. None of them can live to this day, so they are all fourth-level overlords.

Except for the Great Sima Cao Zhen.

He is another king unit.

Although Hang Yu did not come in person and could not clearly perceive Cao Zhen's strength, he intuitively felt that Cao Zhen was not a new king, and his background was much stronger than Wen Yang.

He is worthy of being the first person under the emperor!

Cao Zhen is not that old in appearance, he is in his forties at most. He is tall and majestic, with thick stubble, and his eyes are shining and menacing, like an angry lion.

Hang Yu's attention only stayed for a short moment and then moved away.

Because kings like Cao Zhen and Cao Rui are very sensitive, even if they are observed through the perspective of a lord, they may be felt over time.

Hang Yu glanced at other heavyweights.

Just like the information learned in advance.

The ministers of the Wei Dynasty were divided into two groups.

One faction is the clan faction and the other is the foreign minister faction.

The clan sect includes Cao Zhen, Cao Shuang, Cao Yu, Cao Fang, Cao Zhao, etc. Qin Lang and Xia Houxian who are currently staying in the territory also belong to this sect, and they are all related to the emperor.

The composition of the foreign minister faction is more complex, and it can be subdivided into several factions. It is more like a political alliance that unites to confront the clan faction.

Among them are some of the more influential people.

General Zhang He!

Sikong and Shangshu ordered Chen Qun.

Taiwei Jiang Ji and Situ Dong Zhao.

Of course, Tingwei and General Man Chong of Zhengxi are also indispensable.

Cao Wei has more talents than expected, but I don't know how many people will be able to use it for the territory in the end.

Currently, Zhang He and Man Chong have been captured.

Hang Yu is also very interested in these remaining people.

Needless to say, Chen Qun is a famous historical official. Anyone who is even remotely interested in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or history has heard of him.

Famous general and counselor.

There are territories.

Now there is a shortage of famous ministers.

As for Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao?

These two people are not very famous.

But he was also a very important and famous minister and counselor in the history of Cao Wei.

This can be seen from the evaluation of historical books.

The major official historians passed down five names together: Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, and Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji, Dong Zhaoneng and Guo Jia, Cheng Yu simultaneously interpreted.

It is enough to illustrate the abilities of the two.

Both of these two are counselor-type characters. Although their level and talent are certainly not as good as Jia Xu's, they can certainly bring considerable gains and benefits to the territory.

Hang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

So many pillars of talent.

I wonder how many people will end up using the territory.

He will try his best to give talents some patience and opportunities, but if these people may become unstable factors or difficult to conquer, he will not waste time.

Territory expansion and development are the most important things.

As long as the human race is still pioneering in the abyss.

There can be no shortage of talents.

Hang Yu remained calm. He stayed in his castle, drinking wine and watching the show remotely.

Zhang He rebelled.

This is big news.

This is causing fierce disputes.

Zhongshu ordered Sun Zi: "This is nonsense!"

Liu Fang, the secretary of the Central Supervisor: "The general and the ministers of the Wei Dynasty have sacrificed their lives for the country many times. How could they rebel and surrender to the enemy for no reason?!"

The Foreign Ministers faction obviously would not accept it easily.

On the one hand, it is out of understanding and trust in Zhang He, on the other hand, it is subjectively unwilling to accept such a result.

Zhang He is one of the most important figures of the Foreign Ministers faction.

Once knocked down.

The momentum of the foreign ministers faction will be greatly reduced.

From now on, I am afraid that I will be suppressed by the clan faction and be unable to hold my head high.

The people appointed by the clan also knew the importance of Zhang He.

Because of this, they also seized the opportunity at this moment to add insult to injury.

Once there is no more general.

Your Majesty can only rely on Da Sima!

Cao Rui sat on the throne of the strange tree, with no expression on his face. Countless mummy bones in all directions were shaking, but it reflected the mania and anger in his heart at this moment.

The two sides were still arguing.

Grand Sima Cao Zhen shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet!"

In an instant, a pressure as powerful as a tsunami and as fierce as fire enveloped the entire place!

Even Chen Qun felt a huge sense of oppression, and the other people who were arguing immediately shut their mouths.

"His Majesty!"

Cao Zhen cupped his fists and saluted the emperor.

"There are still many strange things about this matter, and the top priority must be to confirm the local situation."

Cao Rui's expression was still gloomy.

Sounds came from all directions.

"No need, I have already felt it. There is a strong aura of stars appearing in the north. This cannot be false."

Your Majesty's means.

No one present knows

Your Majesty is so sure.

The arrival of the stars cannot be faked.

Cao Zhen looked solemn: "The city of Shangyang County..."

Cao Rui said: "All the cities in Shangyang fell almost instantly one day ago..."

As soon as this statement came out.

The faces of the ministers were ugly.

"Are there really stars?"

"The legendary stars have actually arrived!"

"The people of the stars are cruel in nature. They will conquer and rule every land they set foot on. We must take precautions early to deal with these greedy people!"

"So General, he..."

"The four cities of Shangyang all fell without a fight, and they fell at almost the same time. Doesn't this prove it?"

"Exactly!"

"If no one is involved, we should cooperate."

"It's impossible to capture four cities at the same time!"

"Zhang He is fully capable and prestigious to do this internal response!"

"No need to guess."

"Zhang He is a traitor!

"The arrival of the stars is a fact, and the fall of Shangyang County is a fact. If Zhang He did not rebel, why did he hold a large army and sit back and watch without action, and why did he not report to His Majesty in time?"

"..."

The faces of the foreign ministers faction became increasingly ugly.

This matter is indeed very suspicious for Zhang He. Now an elite army of the Wei Dynasty is stationed near Taican Ridge. It can also be said that it is stationed at the door of Qunxing Leader's house.

Why are you indifferent to the leaders of the stars?

Why could the Lords of the Stars bypass this force and occupy Shangyang County?

So many days had passed without any conflict, confrontation or other news, and suddenly the bad news of the complete fall of Shangyang County came out.

Is Zhang He okay?

I’m afraid it’s hard to justify it!

Cao Zhen stared at Cao Shuang and said word by word: "Tell me what you have experienced these days."

"yes!"

Cao Shuang took a deep breath.

Start describing the relevant experience.

From how the army arrived at Shangyang County, and then summoned the local prefect to gather manpower, and finally successfully defeated the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord, and in the process Zhang He suddenly rebelled and stabbed him in the back.

Hang Yu knew it as soon as he heard it.

Although most of the process is true, it is seven parts truth and three parts lies. This statement was polished and modified by Jia Xu. Cao Shuang only needs to hand over this version.

There is absolutely no flaw in it.

Even if there are flaws.

That's intentional too.

for example.

Cao Shuang just finished speaking.

Situ Dong Zhao said in a deep voice: "What if according to what General Cao Shuang said, the Taican Ridge incident was a trap specially arranged by the general in collusion with the forces of the stars?"

Cao Shuang: "That's right!"

Dong Zhao: "You hid it from everyone and manipulated the Wei army to applause. The city of Wei was not even alert. I dare to ask how General Cao Shuang escaped from such a strict and comprehensive plan?"

this problem.

It's really critical.

Suppose you put yourself in Zhang He’s shoes.

The first one to be killed should be Cao Shuang.

Although Zhang He is the chief general of this army, Cao Shuang, the number two figure, has great influence. The main generals Xia Houxian and Qin Lang are also clan generals, and Wang Shuang is Cao Shuang's confidant.

Cao Shuang is here.

Zhang He cannot control this army 100%.

In this situation, anyone could escape, but Cao Shuang had the lowest chance of surviving.

Zhang He's strength in the army is enough to surpass that of ordinary kings. There is a high probability that Cao Shuang will not last ten rounds. Killing him can be said to be a piece of cake.

Jia Xu had already guessed that someone would ask this question.

Because this is a trap he specially set.

Now that the trap has been triggered by Dong Zhao, Cao Shuang guided it according to the plan.

"Zhang He's plan was very detailed, but he didn't expect that a spoiler would appear, causing loopholes in his plan!"

"Spoiler?"

Dong Zhao and Jiang Ji looked at each other.

Both of them are obviously not ordinary people.

Jiang Ji thought of a possibility: "With the ability of a general, if there is anyone in the world who can disrupt his situation, I am afraid it is only those guys from the west."

Everyone was shocked.

What Jiang Ji pointed out is about to come out.

It was the Sima clan from Taiyou City.

"Zhang He used the Taican Ridge Demon Suppression Operation as an excuse to not only completely control the Wei generals, but also attempted to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

Cao Shuang paused and continued: "But Zhang He didn't expect that something unexpected happened on the battlefield. Sima Yan appeared on the scene with Yang Hu and Du Yu, trying to help the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord destroy the Wei army and the human leader."

"In the midst of the melee."

"Zhang He was restrained by Sima Yan and others."

"It was only with the help of the powerful stars that we were able to defeat the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord."

"Because he died at the hands of the stars, the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord was completely destroyed and could not be resurrected."

"Sima Yan, Du Yu, and Yang Hu are no exception!"

"Under the cover of General Wang Shuang and all the loyal soldiers, the final general took this opportunity to fight his way out... I, Cao Shuang, am not afraid of death. I should have fought them bloody to the end, but this matter is of great importance. Even if I still have a breath, I should first Come back and report!”

After listening to the description.

Everyone fell into silence.

The matter does appear to be getting complicated.

Cao Rui's eyes were gloomy and he said in a deep voice: "I do feel the residual aura of the dark party members in the Wei Dynasty. Judging from the aura, it is indeed Sima Yan and the three of them."

Everyone was shocked again.

He is an important minister of the foreign ministers faction.

At this moment, I can no longer vouch for Zhang He.

When the dark party members enter the Wei Dynasty, they will inevitably leave traces. No matter how well they are concealed, they will be discovered sooner or later.

It's all because of Cao Rui's special methods and very strong tracking and sensing methods. This is one of the reasons why the Wei Dynasty has been able to confront the Undercity for so many years and yet always maintain a balanced situation!

"snort!"

"This is He!"

"There is indeed a problem."

"General Cao Shuang is loyal to the Wei Dynasty."

"He will definitely not deceive you on such a big matter!"

"..."

People from the clan faction started to add insult to injury again.

This time, the foreign ministers looked at each other and remained silent.

Cao Rui asked: "How do you think we should deal with the current situation?"

Cao Zhen was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, no matter whether the general has really defected or not, Shangyang County cannot fall into the hands of foreign enemies!"

Cao Rui: "Do you want to personally take back Shangyang County?"

Cao Zhen said: "As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and swift. The Star Lords have just arrived. At this moment, the people's hearts are not in harmony and the foundation is unstable. I only need seven days to regain the lost territory and drive out the Star Lords!"

No one doubted Cao Zhen's strength.

Cao Zhen and Zhang He are equally famous imperial twins.

But in terms of strength, Cao Zhen is the well-deserved number one in the Wei Dynasty.

He had already entered the rank of king nearly a century ago, and his strength was unfathomable. The troops he led were also the most elite in the entire Wei Dynasty, and Zhang He could not compare with him in this regard.

Cao Rui: "What do you think?"

Chen Qun frowned, feeling that this matter was very strange. Based on his understanding of Zhang He, such a thing would never happen.

But if Cao Zhen raises troops to go north,

I'm afraid this matter will be completely confirmed.

Dong Zhao spoke at this time: "I believe that it is not a good idea to rush into the army."

Cao Yu was furious: "Dong Situ, once the fleeting fighter plane is delayed and a major event is ruined, you will not be able to bear the consequences... Or do you still want to make excuses for Zhang He?!"

"good!"

"This is a critical moment."

"Decisive action should be taken!"

"..."

Dong Zhao was the oldest and most senior among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

When the Abyss Age came, he was already bedridden and dying. Later, he was a blessing in disguise and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. However, his appearance was inevitably decrepit, giving people the feeling that he would fall down if the wind blew.

However.

No one will underestimate him.

Dong Zhao's strength is also ranked high.

And with experience and qualifications here, the weight of speech is not low.

Dong Zhao said calmly: "The dark party members have been watching and waiting for the opportunity. The loss of the great general in the Wei Dynasty is equivalent to the loss of a large court pillar. If the great commander leaves and stops intimidation, the enemy may easily take advantage of it."

Chen Qun: "I think what the Grand Master said is reasonable."

Jiang Ji also spoke at this time: "We know too little about this group of stars. The general has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. He is definitely a force that cannot be ignored. If the two fronts are engaged in combat at the same time, I am afraid that they will be in trouble at the expense of the other."

Everyone looked at each other.

Regardless of faction.

I have to admit that there is some truth to this statement.

The Wei Dynasty was already having a hard time dealing with the Sima thief party.

Is it really possible to open a front at this time and withstand it? You know, Zhang He and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are on the other side of the stars at the moment. No matter how powerful Cao Zhen is, it is unrealistic to defeat Zhang He in a short time.

Cao Rui: "In that case, is there any good strategy?"

Dong Zhao and Jiang Ji looked at each other.

The two had clearly thought of a strategy.

Jiang Ji said: "I have a bold idea."

Cao Zhen asked: "It's an extraordinary time, but it doesn't matter!"

Jiang Ji said: "We can't fight these star leaders, at least not now. We can't be enemies with them. We have to find a way to ally with them. As for Shangyang County, it doesn't matter if we temporarily lend it to the star leaders."

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone was shocked.

Many people exploded directly.

Cao Yu was furious: "What? Do you want to listen to what you said!"

Cao Zhao: "How can we give up the territory of the Wei Dynasty to the invaders? This is really treason and injustice!"

"..."

Jiang Ji's proposal was very bold.

Naturally, it caused a violent reaction.

However, what surprised these people was that His Majesty, who had always had an extremely unstable temper, did not show any anger at this moment.

He just said calmly: "Let Lieutenant Jiang continue."

Jiang Ji handed over his hands and thanked them before continuing: "The Wei Dynasty's inner circle is in the west. The Star Lords are currently only at the elbow and armpit. If in order to deal with the elbow and armpit trouble, we ignore the risk of the outbreak of the inner circle, wouldn't it be too short-sighted?"

Chen Qun also nodded in agreement at this moment: "What Jiang Taiwei said is right. If a war breaks out between the Wei Dynasty and the Qunxing Leader, the happiest party will probably be the Sima Thief Party... Moreover, without the general, we will definitely have no two sides." The ability to fight on the line.”

at this point.

Everyone has to admit it.

Cao Zhen: "The Taiwei wants to use the strategy of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves?!"

"Exactly, using the Star Leader to deal with Taiyou City is the best strategy under the current situation!"

Jiang Ji paused and continued: "But the Stars Territory does not directly border the Sima Thief's sphere of influence. If the Stars Territory wants to expand, it is inevitable to enter Shangyang County first."

"That is to say."

"Shangyang County cannot be defended at all!"

"Even if we hold on and take it back temporarily, we still can't stop the Star Lords from launching another attack!"

"And once the Star Lords attack again!"

"We will immediately fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts!"

"In this case, why not use Shangyang County as a bargaining chip to form an alliance with the Star Lords."

"In this way, retreating can temporarily create a three-legged situation, and advancing can arouse conflicts between the stars and Taiyou City!"

"If we can lose a county in exchange for two major threats fighting each other, and I, the Wei Dynasty, can reap the benefits, wouldn't it be very satisfying?"

have to say.

Jiang Ji's idea does make sense.

The clan members didn’t have much to say.

Cao Zhen spoke at this time: "Lieutenant Jiang's strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves can indeed solve the current situation, but how can we ensure that the Star Lords will act according to our ideas, especially take the initiative to attack Taiyou City?"

Hear this.

Everyone in the foreign ministers faction was obviously relieved.

Since the leader of the clan faction has no objection, it is still possible to implement this plan.

Dong Zhao spoke at this time: "According to General Cao Shuang, this Star Leader is a human leader and has already cooperated with the general. In this case, communication must be possible... All we need to do is to set up a suitable situation to lure Taiyou City The end will be easy.”

Cao Zhen faced the emperor on the throne of the strange tree: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Cao Rui's voice came from all directions: "If you want to lure the thieves out and attack the leaders of the stars, you need to prepare at least a bait, a bait that is substantial enough..."

Obviously.

Cao Rui has made his choice.

However, he neither adopted Cao Zhen's suggestion nor fully adopted Dong Zhao and Jiang Ji's strategies.

"Attack first, let's talk."

When I heard Cao Rui's plan.

Hang Yu also nodded behind the scenes.

Generally speaking, Cao Rui and his ministers still have some abilities.

Cao Rui accepted both Cao Zhen's suggestion of a swift attack and the peace talks of Jiang Ji and Chen Qun.

As the saying goes.

What cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiation table.

Cao Rui could accept the temporary cession of Shangyang County to the Qunxing Leader, but he obviously could not accept the Qunxing Leader being taken away. Only by taking Shangyang County back first would he have enough bargaining chips and value to negotiate.

When.

While encouraging the stars to attack Taiyou City.

At the same time, he led out the powerful men from Taiyou City to create obstacles for the stars.

In this way, the situation can be guided in a direction more favorable to Wei.

Will the Star Territory and Taiyou City take the bait?

Cao Rui and the ministers are still confident about this.

To the stars, the indigenous people are a neutral camp, and the Abyssal Familia are absolute enemies.

For the Wei Dynasty, Taiyou is a trouble that can be fatal at any time, while the leader of the human race is a trouble that still has room for maneuver.

To Taiyou, the people of Qunxing are the real natural enemies and nemesis, and Wei is just a long-coveted prey.

Cao Shuang was still prostrate on the ground at this moment.

When I heard the words of my father Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Jiang Ji and others.

His heart was filled with horror and shock, because from the beginning to the end, the reactions of the monarchs and ministers of Wei were all part of that evildoer's plan!

Even wise men such as Dong Zhao and Jiang Ji did not realize it.

I was completely guided.

horrible!

terrible!

Cao Shuang never wanted to have anything to do with Jia Xu anyway.

…………

at the same time.

In the Lord's Hall.

It’s almost time to watch the show.

Hang Yu withdrew his gaze and attention.

He already has a detailed understanding of Wei's next actions, and he only needs to make corresponding arrangements.

At this moment, Shangyang City is guarded by Wenpin, and the main force of the Natural Disaster Army is also investing in it. It is really difficult to capture it with just one Cao, but there should be a good show to watch next.

While Hang Yu continued to make various targeted arrangements.

Suddenly there was good news.

"Lord Lord!"

"Your new gear!"

"Everything was built successfully!"

Hang Yu perked up after hearing this. It took a little longer than expected, but in the end he didn't have to wait too long. The territory finally forged its first set of purple quality equipment!

(PS: I stayed up late and wrote until three o'clock again! Please give me some monthly votes at the end of the month for encouragement!)
