Chapter 729 Cao Rui falls and Tian Yu looks up

Chen Qun's answer made Cao Rui feel much better.

Cao Rui's mood improved and he felt a little hungry, so he asked someone to prepare some cakes and pastries for him.

Before Cao Rui saw the pastries, he saw Chen Qun who had returned.

"Mr. Chen, is there anything else?"

Cao Rui was still quite polite to this important official who had been trusted by the previous emperor.

But Cao Rui found that Chen Qun's face suddenly fell after hearing his question.

This gave Cao Rui a bad feeling.

"What happened."

Cao Rui's voice became deeper.

Cao Rui's first sentence can be seen as an inquiry, but his second sentence is a clear question.

Chen Qun had been immersed in officialdom for many years. How could he not hear the changes in Cao Rui's mood?

But as the Minister of the Wei Dynasty, even if he knew that some things would anger Cao Rui, he was the only one who could report those things.

This is also the reason why he was angry outside just now, but now he has calmed down.

Fortunately, Chen Qun was full of experience in reporting such matters.

"Wancheng and Xuchang are worry-free."

Chen Qun was the first to say this.

Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Qun said, Cao Rui's expression improved a lot.

Cao Rui was smart and he noticed some clues from Chen Qun's expression.

That's why he was in a bad mood.

But Chen Qun's report was tantamount to giving Cao Rui a veil:

"Your Majesty, Wancheng and Xuchang are fine, you can rest assured."

Indeed, for the Great Wei, as long as Wancheng and Xuchang are still in the hands of the Wei army, even if there are incidents on the border, they are all within the acceptable range of the Great Wei.

Cao Rui, feeling much more relaxed, waited for Chen Qun's next report.

“But Bowang is lost.”

Chen Qun didn't dare to look Cao Rui in the eye and spoke these words softly.

Because Chen Qun spoke softly, Cao Rui did not hear clearly what Chen Qun said at first.

"What did Mr. Chen say?"

When asking this question, Cao Rui stretched his body towards Chen Qun.

After seeing Cao Rui's actions, Chen Qun knew he could not escape, so he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and bowed directly:

"Your Majesty, Bowang is lost!"

Chen Qun's voice was full of energy, and Cao Rui could naturally hear it.

But Cao Rui did not react immediately.

Bowang?

This county name looks so familiar.

Just when Cao Rui thought that Bowang was an unimportant county, he was suddenly shocked when he recalled the past.

As Cao Rui was leaning forward, he was so shocked that he could no longer maintain his balance.

He actually fell headfirst to the ground.

Chen Qun and the attendants around him were shocked when they saw this, and they hurried forward to help Cao Rui up from the ground.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

This is the issue that Chen Qun was concerned about first.

But in the face of Chen Qun's concern, Cao Rui remained indifferent.

Cao Rui raised his red eyes and looked at the attendant beside him, and said with a cold tone:

"Quickly fetch the map of Yuzhou."

The attendant realized that Cao Rui was on the verge of a violent rage, and of course he did not dare to be negligent.

Soon after, a map was placed in front of Cao Rui.

This map was drawn by Cao Cao when he was still alive.

Not only does it clearly mark the conditions of various parts of Yuzhou, but it even has Cao Cao's personal comments in some places.

At the point where Bowang was depicted on the map, Cao Rui clearly saw eight characters written by Cao Cao:

"Wan's confidant, Xu's family!"

These eight words made it difficult for Cao Rui to suppress his inner anger.

Cao Rui raised his head and stared at Chen Qun:

"Do you think it's a good thing that Wan and Xuchang have not been lost, Lord Chen?

Let me ask you, after Bowang was lost, how should Wan and Xuchang be defended?

How to defend! "

When he said the last sentence, Cao Rui almost shouted.

Cao Rui's roar frightened everyone in the hall so much that they immediately knelt down and dared not look up.

However, the rebuke to Chen Qun was not enough to make Cao Rui's anger disappear.

"Which idiot is guarding Bowang?

Bowang is behind Wancheng. How could he have lost Bowang?

He who deserves to be killed must be killed!"

Cao Rui's words were full of murderous intent.

It is not surprising that Cao Rui behaved like this.

Although at the beginning of his reign, Cao Rui secretly warned himself not to learn from the previous emperor's violent temper.

But when Cao Rui was actually in Cao Pi's position, he began to understand Cao Pi's situation back then.

It's not that he's not calm enough.

Which wise king could remain calm after knowing that Bowang was lost?

Mi Yang is really good at messing with people’s mentality.

"How did Bowang get lost? Send someone to investigate! Go investigate!"

The anger in Cao Rui's heart was vented wantonly in the hall with every roar.

After waiting for a long time and venting a lot of his anger, Cao Rui regained some of his sanity.

The difference between Cao Rui and Cao Pi is that Cao Rui will not be blinded by anger.

Cao Rui quickly turned around, looked at Chen Qun and asked:

"Now the enemy army has occupied Bowang, the Grand Marshal is trapped in Wancheng, and Xuchang is in danger. What should I do? I hope Mr. Chen can teach me."

Cao Rui's words made Chen Qun's face look bitter.

He was good at politics, but not so good at military affairs.

After seeing Chen Qun's embarrassed expression, Cao Rui closed his eyes helplessly.

In the Battle of Guanzhong, the Wei army not only lost a large number of elite troops, but also many talented generals.

"After returning to the Secretariat, Lord Chen immediately made the Bowang incident known to everyone.

And I have announced a generous reward. If anyone can help the court out of its urgent need, I am willing to follow the example of Emperor Wu."

Chen Qun was somewhat surprised when he heard Cao Rui's order.

"His Majesty!"

Chen Qun was worried that if the fall of Bowang was hastily announced, it would cause unrest among the people in Yecheng.

When Cao Rui saw that Chen Qun was still worried about this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Bowang is the hub of northern Jing, its fall cannot be concealed.

Compared to the instability of people's hearts, I am more worried about the safety of Xuchang!"

After saying this, Cao Rui waved his sleeves and asked Chen Qun to leave.

After Chen Qun returned to the Secretariat, he immediately followed Cao Rui's instructions and announced the fall of Bowang and the court's call for talents.

As Chen Qun had expected, this incident caused an uproar instantly after it spread in Yecheng.

There was a great uproar, but after learning that Cao Rui intended to offer a huge reward for advice, many people in Yecheng couldn't help but be tempted.

In times of chaos, all talented people have the desire to achieve great things.

Among the many people who were attracted to him, there was one person with a special identity.

This person was Tian Yu, who had just returned to Yecheng from the north to report on his work.

Speaking of the name Tian Yu, I think many people in Yecheng will feel unfamiliar with it.

But this does not mean that Tian Yu is an unknown person.

On the contrary, in the Youzhou area, Tian Yu's reputation was well-known.

After Tian Yu carefully read the general account of the Bowang Incident copied by his servant, an idea came to his mind.

The situation in Yuzhou can still be saved!
