?Time passes by like flowing water, as if nothing has happened.

But during this period, a lot of things happened. This can be seen from Cao Chong's growing beard and Sun Shangxiang's gradually plump belly.

Before I knew it, I realized it later, and time crawled over a month again.

There have been many things in this month, which are enough to leave enough traces of time.

During this month, Cao Chong stayed in Luoyang Marquis' Mansion all day, and usually stayed with Xin Xianying and the others, playing together, and his life was dull and warm.

During this period, Cao Chong had a full rest. In addition to being with the beauty in the backyard, Cao Chong often fought with Wei Yanzhou's only husband in the schoolyard of the Hou Mansion, and his killing skills became more and more sophisticated.

But if you only have a little bit of killing skills, then Cao Chong will have been in vain this month.

Especially in this turbulent Ye City, under the current situation.

Although Cao Chong was in the Luoyang Marquis Mansion, his vision was not just about this Luoyang Marquis Mansion.

Cao Chong had countless eyes, which were spread all over the corners of Yecheng, in every aspect, wine shops, teahouses, flowers and willow places, and even official residences.

Cao Chong's secret guards are everywhere in every corner.

Most of these secret guards are composed of rangers or gangsters. It is natural that they cannot fight, but they are still more than enough as eyeliners.

The leader of these secret guards is Guo Xiao, and at the next level of Guo Xiao, the person who is directly responsible for these secret guards is Bao Chu.

As one of the most famous ranger leaders in the late Han Dynasty, Bao Chu had huge energy, especially after Cao Chong's support. Most of the secret guards' eyeliners were responsible for Bao Chu.

These secret guards are not only in Yecheng, but also in every corner of the world.

These secret guards are Cao Chong's eyes. Through these secret guards' eyes, Cao Chong can see what happened in the world in time.

For example, a few days ago, the censors who investigated Cao Chong in Liangzhou had already set off and returned.

According to their standards, it will arrive today or tomorrow.

The news these censors brought to him would not be very good, and Cao Chong was already prepared in his heart.

Of course, it would not be that easy for aristocratic families to deal with themselves.

Cao Chong is not the delicious meat that is nailed on the board, he is a hedgehog, a hedgehog rolled into a ball.

It is not possible to deal with a hedgehog without being injured.

Of course, investigating my censor’s return to Ye in Liangzhou is not the biggest news. In this seemingly dull and bloodless day, there are really many major events.

There are three main things to say.

The first thing is about Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was stationed in the border prefecture, and a censor reported that Zhang Liao was a fisherman, so Zhang Liao's military power was taken away. Now, like Cao Chong, he stayed honestly in the General's Mansion of Yecheng and was not allowed to leave the mansion at will.

Zhang Liao was the greatest support of Cao Chong's military. When Zhang Liao fell, he said that Cao Chong's military support was almost zero.

As for whether Zhang Liao has any fish and people, who cares?

There is no need to worry about the crime that aristocratic families can seize Zhang Liao's military power.

Especially when Cao Chong was staying in the Marquis' Mansion, Cao Chong could make almost zero sounds in the court.

Facing this action of the aristocratic family, Cao Chong could not do anything except to endure.

It is obviously unwise to jump out and oppose the aristocratic family now.

If I really did this, I'm afraid the first person to laugh is Cao Pi.

Of course, Cao Chong's patience is also limited. If the aristocratic family touches their own bottom line, Cao Chong will teach these old men to be human.

This is the first thing that happens in a month.

The second thing is that there are too many soldiers in the southern camp of Situ Wang Lang, and Yecheng cannot consume so many soldiers, so the Nanying South outside Yecheng was transferred to Dangyin, and Dangyin provided food and grass for the Nanying.

The Nanying was transferred from 30 miles away from Yecheng to 60 miles away from Yecheng. There was a Dangshui and a Huanshui in the middle. Wang Lang's purpose was obvious.

However, in addition to the clan relatives and Cheng Yu raised objections, the opposition was not fierce, and in the end, Wang Lang's order continued to be implemented.

50,000 south camp, 30 miles south.

Not long after this incident was born, the aristocratic family used the excuse to transfer the tiger and leopard cavalry far away.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is naturally irrelevant to Cao Chong, but it is Cao Pi's few army in Yecheng, so Cao Pi cared very much about this army.

After Cao Pi joined the opposition, the opposition in the court was more than doubled.

Previously, Wang Lang wanted to transfer to the South Camp in the south because there were many forces in the South Camp, and transferring to the South Camp in the south was something Cao Pi loved to hear, but transferring the tiger and leopard cavalry from afar was inconsistent with Cao Pi's interests.

Faced with Cao Pi's opposition, Wang Lang still insisted on moving the tiger and leopard cavalry far away, but he made concessions.

Let Cao Pi join the decision-making group as well.

In this way, the decision-making people in the court changed from Wang Lang and Cheng Yu to three.

The remote adjustment of the tiger and leopard cavalry naturally harmed Cao Pi's interests, but when he joined the decision-making level, it seemed that the benefits were greater than the losses of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Soon, nearly half of the opposition in the court disappeared.

The tiger and leopard cavalry were transferred south to Wancheng hundreds of miles away as the aristocratic family thought.

In this way, Yecheng has no other army except the Central Imperial Guards.

Among them, the Central Imperial Guards are divided into two branches.

The ones stationed in the north of Yecheng are called the Northern Army, and the ones stationed in the south of Yecheng are called the Southern Army.

Among them, there are 10,000 people in the Northern Army, called the Five Northern Army Clans and also called the Five Northern Army Battalions.

These five battalions are the garrison, the Yue cavalry, the infantry, the Changshui, and the sound of shooting. Each battalion is two thousand people.

The cavalry camp was built with Han cavalry as the main source of soldiers.

The Yueqi camp mainly uses the descendants of the Yue cavalry.

The infantry battalion uses Han infantry as the main source of soldiers.

The Changshui Camp is mainly composed of the Changshui Xuanqu Huqi.

The shooting camp is a light crossbowman.

Nanying was mainly responsible for the safety of palace gates and cemeteries, and when the King of Wei was traveling, he formed a guard of honor with the Northern Army. In addition, the Southern Army was also responsible for receiving and submitting memorials to the King of Wei.

The Northern Army was stationed outside Yecheng.

The number of soldiers in the southern region was 5,000, and they were stationed among the seven gates of Yecheng.

Among them, the commander of the Southern Army was the Central Leader, and the original commander of the Northern Army was Jinwu, and later it was directly led by the emperor, that is, the King of Wei.

When it comes to the garrison of the North and South Camps, it is inevitable to mention the structure of Yecheng.

The plane of Yecheng is rectangular, 7 miles long from east to west and 5 miles wide from north to south. There are two walls: Guocheng and Gongcheng.

Guocheng has 7 city gates; there is an east-west main road connecting the east and west gates, which divides the whole city into two parts. The north of the main road is the area used by the ruling class, the middle is the palace city, and there are buildings and squares for rituals. The east of the palace city is the palace and the official office. The east of the official office is Qili, which is the residence of the royal family and the nobles.

The west of the palace city is the forbidden garden - the Tongque Garden, which includes granaries, arsenals and stables. The northwest corner of the garden is raised by the city wall to build three copper birds, golden tigers, and ice wells, which are usually used for sightseeing and reviewing military and horse exercises outside the city, and are used as a city defense fortress during wartime.

The east-west trunk road is the general residential area south of the east-west trunk road, divided into several fangli; three north-south trunk roads lead to three city gates on the south side, and the central axis road leads to the north gate of the palace city - Duanmen.

Outside the east gate of the city is a place for foreign exchanges and city establishment; the welcome hotel - Jian'an Post is located here.

There is a large area of ​​royal gardens and water surface outside the west gate of Yecheng. Cao Cao once trained the navy here. In order to provide urban water, the Zhang River water was diverted from the Tongque Santai into the palace-ban area, and part of the river water was diverted to Fangli District and flowed out of the city from near the east gate.

The Northern Army was led by five captains, and the Southern Army was led by Xiahou Shang, the Central Army.

It can be said that there are basically only one fifteen thousand people left in Yecheng now.

Of course, this is just an open army. As for the soldiers who are privately hidden, there must be some, but since they cannot be taken on the open, there must be not many people.

Whether it is the Southern Army or the Northern Army, they are almost all led by the Cao clan of Xiahou clan.

At this time, Cao Cao's condition became worse, and the actions of the aristocratic family became even greater.

They want to change the leader.

The original Central Leader was changed from Xiahou Shang to Wang Can.

The five Northern Army Captains, Sima, and Wang Lang all had to be changed to people from aristocratic families.

Neither Cheng Yu nor Cao Pi allowed Wang Lang to succeed in this plan.

The attitude of the clans in the court became more and more firm.

After Cao Pi joined the decision-making level, it was obviously difficult for Wang Lang to succeed in this plan. It was okay for the Five Northern Army Schools to say that the aristocratic families did not know what plans they had, so they must change to the leader.

As for the reason, Xiahou Shang was not qualified enough. When King Wei was seriously ill, he needed a high-ranking and powerful person to serve as the official position of Zhongcheng.

Cao Pi naturally refused to give Wang Lang's excuse.

After the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry left, he only had the Southern Army, which was the Central Leader. If even the Southern Army was gone, what's the use of him entering the decision-making level?

The Central Imperial Guards are different from the Southern Camp and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which has touched Cao Pi and the bottom line of the clan.

After the discussion failed, the three of them parted in disagreement. According to Xu Shu, the three of them quarreled in the court with extremely fierce quarrel.

During this month, Cao Chong watched the situation in Yecheng change day by day like a spectator.

News from the palace came that the King of Wei had already started coughing up blood, and he didn't have much time to wake up in a day.
