Gan Ning's straightforwardness made Sun Quan difficult for a moment, and his face also darkened, and he said coldly: "I don't have this intention, but if the Jingzhou navy can come in time, the Jiangdong army will not be defeated."

Sun Quan said it was his inner feelings. If the Jingzhou naval army arrived in time, he would not have to send troops north to intercept Cao's rations and ships. At least the Jingzhou naval army could do it for him. In this way, the Cao army would not dare to attack so blatantly at night.

Although the reason is this, there are also unreasonable points here. For example, why didn’t the Jiangdong Army wait for the Jingzhou Navy to arrive before heading north together?

Gan Ning was very dissatisfied and stood up and said angrily: "I received the order from the provincial governor and immediately sent troops to Hefei, rushing day and night. The journey that was originally only nine days long before we arrived, we arrived in less than seven days, and we didn't even do supplies along the way. I am so sincere, can I ask Wu Hou who is not satisfied with it?"

Seeing that they had a quarrel, Lu Su quickly smoothed out and said, "General Gan has misunderstood. The Marquis of Wu is not dissatisfied with the Jingzhou navy, but is deeply regretful that the two families failed to cooperate in joint operations."

Gan Ning said in a hard tone: "I am also very sorry, but to be clear, the defeat of the Jiangdong army is not the responsibility of the Jingzhou army. We did not agree on a day to meet. We could only do our best. I did my best. If the Marquis of Wu is still dissatisfied, we can appeal to our provincial governor."

Sun Quan sneered: "I really want to talk to Liu Zhoumu about this."

At this time, Gan Ning finally understood what Sun Quan meant. He wanted to put the blame for defeat on himself to cover up his incompetence. Gan Ning was furious, and he bowed with a blue face, turned around and strode away.

Lu Su was very anxious and hurriedly followed him out and advised Gan Ning: "General Gan, please calm down. My Marquis of Wu was sad because of General Shi's death. He was slightly unstable. It was not that he was rude to the general. Please don't care about it."

Gan Ning sighed, "Governor Lu doesn't need to persuade me anymore. I am just a general under the command of the provincial governor and I am ordered to send troops. If the Sun and Liu families join forces next time, as long as the provincial governor has an order, I will still do my best and will never abandon the public for personal gain. But I also want to make it clear to the provincial governor that we will do our best this time. It is not our responsibility to defeat the Jiangdong army. Please forgive me."

Lu Su was helpless and had to send Gan Ning out of the camp. He hurried back and forth. Sun Quan was walking back and forth in the tent with his hands, his expression calm and he was not angry. He sighed slightly, "Why is Wu Hou here?"

Sun Quan looked at the tent with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he said coldly: "What am I doing? I know very well in my heart. If Liu Jing cannot bear the responsibility for defeat, would I still have to bear it? If you sit in my position, you will understand my difficulties."

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "But this will affect the alliance between the Sun and Liu families."

Sun Quan shook his head, "He never really came to help me, nor did I really help him, but just used each other. If he doesn't want to help me, then he won't think I will help him next time. That's it. Don't persuade me anymore."

When Lu Su saw that his lord was determined to push the responsibility for defeat to the Jingzhou army, he felt helpless and full of bitterness of ineffective persuasion.

The next morning, several large Jiangdong ships arrived on the Yangtze River. Seventy thousand Jiangdong troops boarded the ship one after another. The fleet sailed eastward and returned to Jianye. Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the Jiangdong army fleet away. He bit his lips tightly. Sun Quan's actions made him feel disappointed.

"General, the warships are ready and can set off at any time," Deputy General Chen Mi reported to him.

Gan Ning nodded and "set"

Several Jingzhou warships also slowly turned around and entered the Yangtze River. Yang Fan drove towards Jiangxia.

It was already a day since Cao Cao led his army back to Yedu. He ordered the death of Fuwan's brothers and nephews, as well as Ma Teng's father who was imprisoned, to be executed for the crime of rebellion, and to exil dozens of Fu's family members to Liaodong as a military force.

Cao Cao was quite satisfied with Chang Cao Pi's thunderous methods and a series of disposals, especially Empress Fu. Cao Pi only killed her two sons, but did not kill Empress Fu herself. This cautious approach especially made Cao Cao praise, which shows that Chang is already very politically wise and knows what to do and what not to do. The measure of this is very good.

As night fell, Cao Cao came to Yeting Palace accompanied by Hua Xin. Since ancient times, the Yeting Palace has been a place to imprison palace maids and a place to imprison the families of criminal ministers. In fact, it is a women's prison in the palace. Women who are guilty of serving labor here are often imprisoned for life.

However, after more than ten years of war, the number of palace maids in the palace has been greatly reduced, and Liu Xie is just a puppet emperor, so Cao Cao naturally would not spend much money on him. This has resulted in the addition of more than two palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and there are only a handful of palace maids who commit crimes and imprison them.

Therefore, the palace in the Yeting Palace was empty, and there were almost no imprisoned palace maids, and there were no guards. The palace room seemed disrepair and was quite dilapidated. Several guards were wearing lantern belts in front, and Cao Cao walked quickly behind with his hands pressing the hilt of his sword. Hua Xin followed him step by step, followed by a large group of guards behind.

Hua Xin secretly felt glad, fortunately he persuaded Cao Pi not to kill Fu Shou, otherwise the consequences would be really serious. Now it seems that Cao Cao did have an agreement with Liu Jing. Although Cao Cao did not mention it at all, Hua Xin could guess it.

But he was a little nervous. Fu Shou must not say he was utterly sarcastic later, saying that she knew that Cao Cao and Liu Jing had an agreement, so that once Cao Cao investigated and they did not catch the eunuch who leaked the secret, Hua Xin would be in trouble.

Cao Cao quickly walked to a dilapidated building, where more than twenty soldiers were guarding it. Cao Cao walked directly into the dilapidated hall. The lobby was empty, covered with spider webs and dust. A prison cell was set up in the corner of the house. Dozens of wooden fences as thick as arms sealed the corner of the house, with only one bed and a potty inside.

A woman with disheveled hair sat on the bed, holding a pile of tattered bedding, staring at Cao Cao who was approaching with hatred. She was the current queen Fushou. She already knew the news that her child was killed, and at this moment she was only endless hatred in her heart.

Cao Cao walked up to the fence and looked at her, sneered and said, "I treat you very well, but you want to harm me. This is your own fault. If I don't kill you, I am particularly tolerant of you."

Hua Xin next to him was afraid that Fu Shou would tell you about Liu Jing, and shouted: "Fushou, the Prime Minister is talking to you, why don't you greet me?"

"You evil dog"

Queen Fu cursed Hua Xin from her teeth, "One day, you will die without a place to bury you."

Hua Xin was furious. He was about to scold him, but found that Cao Cao looked grim and had to hold his anger back in his heart. Cao Cao said for a long time: "For the sake of the monarch and ministers, I will not kill you, but I will not keep you in Yedu. I will send you to Xuchang tomorrow. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Cao Cao turned around and left. When he reached the door, he heard Fu Shou's cold voice, "You are so arrogant today. Will Liu Jing spare your Cao family in the future?"

Cao Cao was shocked all over, turned his head and stared at Fu Shou with sharp eyes. After a while, he snorted heavily, turned around and quickly left, and walked out of the palace room. He stopped and said to Hua Xin: "Send her to the old palace of Xudu tonight overnight. No harm is allowed to hurt her. Provide her with ordinary concubines, but one thing is that no one is allowed to contact her."

"There is a good minister"

After Cao Cao gave the order, he quickly walked towards the palace. Hua Xin turned around and said to the guards: "Go and prepare the carriage quickly. The windows must be sealed. Find two guilty palace maids to serve her. Set out to Xudu in an hour."

The soldiers were immediately busy, and several soldiers ran to find the carriage. In the palace, Fu Shou was sneering. Now she finally believed that Liu Jing had indeed signed an agreement with Cao Cao, so Cao Cao did not dare to kill him, otherwise how could Cao Cao let him go?

At this time, a guard soldier appeared in front of the fence. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly bounced a ball of paper into the cell and left in a hurry. Fu Shou was surprised and quickly got up and picked up the note, opened it quickly and saw a line of words written on it. Take care of himself and have a day of freedom.

Fu Shou put the note in his mouth and chewed it down. She sat back on the bed, silently. She could guess who sent the note, just like the guard Luo Qing told herself the news at the critical moment, there was a game between Liu Jing and Cao Cao.

She suddenly remembered her child, mourned in her heart, and tears couldn't help but burst out. She wiped away the tears, gritted her teeth and said to herself: "I can do it, I will definitely wait for the day Cao Zheshuo gave."

In the inner palace, Liu Xie sat behind the table with a nervous expression, trembling all over. He stared at Cao Cao who was respectful in front of him, with deep fear in his eyes. However, Cao Cao knelt down to Liu Xie and bowed respectfully, "I am far away in Jingzhou and failed to stop the rebellion of the rebellion in time, which caused the emperor to be frightened. I am heartbroken and I just wish I could not replace it with myself."

Liu Xie saw with his own eyes that two sons were put into a bag and killed by the guards sent by Cao Pi. He was no longer angry at this time, but was endlessly afraid. He was afraid that he would say something wrong, and he would also be put into a bag and killed by a bag and killed by a bag.

If Liu Xie had thought about how to regain the power of the monarch before, but after the incident, he was scared by Cao's father's cruel methods. Not to mention regaining the power of the monarch, he might not even have the qualification to be a puppet.

Liu Xie's lips trembled, and after a while, he asked, "What should I do with my queen and prime minister?"

Cao Cao did not wait for Liu Xie to calm down, so he sat upright and said lightly: "They tried to rebel and attempted to take the emperor to Mount Tai. This is a crime of great rebellion. The crime should be punished by nine clans. However, I missed the empress in the palace and had not been indecent, so I suggested that the emperor talk to her. I suggest that she be retained as the queen, but she should not be by the emperor anymore. I suggest that she send her to Xudu to settle."

Cao Cao spoke with one suggestion, and Liu Xie couldn't speak for a long time. What was this suggestion? It was clearly Cao Cao's decision. He was in a mess. Queen Fu wanted to send her to Xu Du, but she could retain the title of queen. What does this mean?

"The Lord"

Cao Cao's voice increased, "Why don't you answer my advice?"

Liu Xie was so scared that he trembled all over, "I am allowed to report"

Cao Cao smiled proudly and said slowly: "The harem should not be without a master for a day. Although the queen is not here, the Yuan concubine can still preside over the harem and perform the rituals of the queen. I have a daughter's reputation, and I am sixteen years old and have both good looks. I can be appointed as the Yuan concubine and ask the emperor to accept the favor."
