Summary

The chapter summarizes a conflict between Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei, and Liu Mang, who is planning to attack Cao Rui's stronghold in Qiao County. Cao Rui is torn between defending the ancestral land of the Cao family and avoiding a direct confrontation with Liu Mang, which could undermine his authority as emperor. Guo Nü Wang suggests sending Cao Ren, a skilled military commander, to defend Qiao County while coordinating with the royal family from within. Cao Rui is reluctant to rely on the royal family, but Huang Hao convinces him that it is the best course of action. The chapter ends with Cao Rui lamenting the tragic situation, where he has to employ his own relatives to defend against the Liu family, who are also part of the royal family.
