Chapter 560 A traitor has emerged from the Minister's residence? Cao Zhang is implicated!
Xuchang
Court of Justice
Cao Ang, who was stationed in Xuchang, was preparing to send an elite force to Hefei to reinforce Zhang Liao.
Suddenly, an urgent message arrived from the intelligence corps.
"Reporting to Your Excellency the Court of Justice!"
"General Zhang Liao inflicted a great defeat on Sun Quan at Xiaoyao Ford. Sun Quan jumped off a cliff and nearly died!"
"According to statistics, the number of Jiangdong soldiers who died in battle will be..."
Listening to the long list of names, Cao Ang said to Cao Pi beside him in a daze:
"Brother Pi, did I hear that right?"
Cao Pi stood up, cupped his hands, and said:
"Brother, General Zhang Liao has already decisively defeated Sun Quan without needing reinforcements!"
"And it was a resounding victory!"
Cao Ang was now in a dilemma.
Sun Quan was too extraordinary, which led to Zhang Liao's achievements being too great.
He couldn't make the decision himself; the specifics still needed to be sent to Chengdu so his father and master could make the decision.
Just as the two brothers were discussing how to send the message, Cao Zhang walked in from outside.
Cao Zhang, who was young in the past, is now thirteen years old.
Moreover, Cao Zhang and Xu Chu's son, Xu Yi, had very similar physical constitutions.
Although he hasn't undergone the coming-of-age ceremony yet, his physique already looks like that of an adult.
"Big brother, second brother, I want to join the army!"
Cao Zhang's words instantly enraged Cao Ang and Cao Pi!
"Third brother, how old are you?"
"Join the army? Why would I want to join this nonsense!"
Cao Pi reprimanded Cao Zhang with a dark expression.
After a series of events, the Cao brothers developed a particularly good relationship.
However, Cao Ang and Cao Pi were much older than their other brothers.
Therefore, when things happened, Cao Ang was the "kind eldest brother," while Cao Pi was the "strict second brother."
Cao Zhang pursed his lips and quickly said to Cao Ang:
"Big brother! Look at second brother, he's nagging me again."
I thought Cao Ang would step in to mediate, but to my surprise, Cao Ang also spoke sternly this time:
"No! Your second brother is right, you can't go to the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang immediately became agitated and retorted:
"Brother, when you were my age, you had already experienced your first battle on the battlefield."
"Why can't I do it now?"
Cao Ang said without changing his expression:
These two things should not be confused.
"The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and you are you."
"How could things have been like this back then?"
"We'll talk about going to the battlefield after you've completed your coming-of-age ceremony."
Seeing that his elder brother Cao Ang shared the same view as his second brother Cao Pi, Cao Zhang angrily said:
"Then I'll go and beg my mother!"
Cao Ang smiled:
"Third brother, if you can't even get past us, how can Mother possibly let you go?"
Cao Zhang fell silent.
Neither Madam Ding nor Madam Bian would agree to let him go to the battlefield.
After much thought, Cao Zhang had a sudden inspiration.
"Eldest brother, second brother, I just heard that General Zhang Liao won a great victory."
"I want to tell my father this news!"
"Let me go to Shu to deliver the message!"
Cao Pi ruthlessly exposed Cao Zhang's motives.
"Third brother, do you think your elder brother and I can't see through your little schemes?"
"Using the pretense of delivering a message, aren't you just trying to go to the battlefield?"
"This is out of the question; no matter how much you say, it's useless."
Cao Zhang stomped his foot angrily and turned to leave.
Cao Ang and Cao Pi exchanged a smile.
Although Cao Zhang was quite skilled in martial arts.
But in his older brothers' eyes, he will always be a younger brother, always a child.
Therefore, unless one has completed the coming-of-age ceremony and reached adulthood, there is no point in talking about going to the battlefield.
……
Cao Zhang, furious, encountered Yang Xiu, who was burdened with a mountain of official business.
As the Chief Clerk of the Court of Justice, Yang Xiu had a lot of official business to handle every day.
But compared to "that place," it's nothing.
At least, Yang Xiu of the Court of Justice was able to leave work on time, enjoy a certain number of holidays, and receive various benefits.
"Third Young Master, what's wrong?"
Yang Xiu greeted Cao Zhang.
Both Cao Ang and Cao Pi were doting brothers, so when Yang Xiu saw Cao Zhang, he couldn't pretend he didn't see him.
Talented individuals from the Ministry of Personnel must possess the necessary insight and discernment!
"Chief Secretary Yang?"
"Hmph! My eldest and second brothers don't agree to me going to the battlefield!"
Cao Zhang was troubled by having nowhere to confide in.
Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be discussed with Cao Zhi.
Otherwise, Cao Zhi would definitely have gone to complain, how shameless!
"Go to the battlefield? What's so great about the battlefield? Swords and blades don't discriminate; what if you get hurt? Wouldn't that be heartbreaking?"
Yang Xiu, being a civil official, naturally had no desire to go to the battlefield.
of course.
If Yang Xiu had to choose between the Minister's residence and the battlefield, even the slightest hesitation would be disrespectful to the battlefield!
Cao Zhang did not agree with what Yang Xiu said.
He raised his arm, revealing the muscles on it:
"As long as I'm strong enough, no one can hurt me!"
"Hahaha, what you say is very true, young master."
Yang Xiu smiled, not trying to undermine Cao Zhang's confidence.
Cao Zhang's martial prowess was far from reaching its peak at this time. Cao's camp was already full of experts, and there were many people whose martial arts were superior to his.
"Chief Secretary Yang, you actually don't believe me?"
Cao Zhang sensed that Yang Xiu was looking down on him, and his eyes showed a hint of anxiety.
"Alright, alright, Third Young Master."
"I have important business to discuss with the eldest and second young masters first."
After saying this, Yang Xiu took his leave.
Cao Zhang grew angrier the more he thought about it. Why was it so difficult to go to the battlefield?
Unbeknownst to him, Cao Zhang arrived at the entrance of a mansion.
The mansion was surrounded by barren land, and a faint, malevolent aura lingered around it.
Even a tough guy like Cao Zhang couldn't help but shudder.
Looking up, I saw four bright characters written on it: "Minister's Residence!"
Suddenly, the gates of the Minister's residence opened.
A very imposing figure appeared and quickly walked to Cao Zhang's side.
"Xun Yu greets the Third Prince."
"Greetings, sir! Greetings, sir! Hehe..."
Cao Zhang scratched his head, looking completely bewildered. His expression at that moment was just like that of the village idiot.
"Third Young Master, is it that you wish to visit my Minister's residence?"
Xun Yu extended a friendly request to Cao Zhang.
"No, no! I was just passing by, just passing by!"
Cao Zhang is almost out of his mind.
In the forbidden area of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat's residence, he had heard many strange tales told by his second brother, Cao Pi.
Even if Cao Zhang were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to provoke us here!
"Well, I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Xun Yu walked out in a hurry.
Suddenly, Cao Zhang realized the blind spot in the matter.
Xun Yu, as the only true god in the Ministry of Personnel, usually lived a secluded life.
Today is neither a day off nor a holiday, yet Xun Yu has actually left the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat's residence?
What the hell!
Something big is about to happen!
next moment.
The mansion of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat was bustling with people.
Several outstanding individuals appeared together, their eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
One of them shouted:
"Traitor! How dare you betray the Minister's Office!"
"We will follow you, my lord, and bring that traitor back!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang felt a chill run through his body.
A new traitor has emerged from the Minister's office!?
Who exactly is this warrior?
