Chapter 254: The Monarch and the Ministers See Each Other Again

"Who?" Sima Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and a bad feeling flashed in his heart.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Xu Shu and Xun Lingjun's family is young! ”

Sima Yi's pupils shrank, and he said without hesitation: "Xu Shu can be discussed, but Xun Lingjun's family is absolutely impossible!" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi with a playful face and said, "You are just a messenger, you haven't reported to Cao Cao yet, how do you know that it's impossible?" ”

Sima Yi's face was extremely gloomy.

When Xiangyang was defeated, he vaguely guessed that Xun Yu was not dead.

It's just that now that Zhuge Liang has put forward such a condition, is it possible that Xun Yu has taken refuge in Liu Bei?

Once Cao Cao was told this condition, the consequences would ......

Sima Yi didn't dare to think about it!

Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi's calm face, smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Since you can't call the shots, go back and ask Cao Cao, come and send off guests!" ”

"Please!" The soldier invited Sima Yi out.

"Military advisor, do you think Cao Cao can agree?" After Sima Yi left, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said with a faint smile: "Now that Xiahou Yuan is in our hands, Cao Cao can't do it if he doesn't agree!" ”

Liu Bei said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that Cao Cao will find out about Xun Lingjun and will launch a decisive battle!" ”

"No, don't worry, my lord!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Xun Lingjun has been away from Cao Cao for so many years, Cao Cao is only angry at most, and he will not make a big fight for him." ”

"I hope so!" Liu Bei nodded.

Sima Yi returned to Cao Ying and was immediately received by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked Sima Yi, "How is the situation?" What did Liu Bei ask? ”

Sima Yi knelt on the ground and said in fear: "50,000 stones of grain and grass, 3,000 horses and 500 stones of salt!" ”

"So little?" Listening to Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao was stunned.

These things are still within Cao Cao's tolerance, originally Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei would open his mouth, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to make such a request?

Or is Sima Yi's ability to bargain too powerful?

Sima Yi continued: "In addition, Liu Bei also wants Duke Wei to give him a few people! ”

I know it's not that simple!

A hint of understanding flashed in Cao Cao's eyes: "There is Xu Shu among them, right?" Who else but Xu Shu! ”

Just by changing one Xu Shu, Liu Bei made a lot of money!

Xu Shu's ability is far better than Xiahou Yuan!

Sima Yi took a deep breath and replied, "In addition to Xu Shu, there is also Xun Lingjun's family!" ”

As soon as Sima Yi's words fell, he felt that the temperature in the tent seemed to drop sharply, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Cao Cao didn't speak, this kind of Cao Cao is the most terrifying.

Sima Yi buried his head on the ground, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

"Xu Shu actually took refuge in Liu Bei!"

After a long time, Cao Cao finally spoke.

"I treated him like this, he actually took refuge in Liu Bei?" Cao Cao's voice suddenly became a little louder, and he overturned the table, scattering bamboo slips all over the ground.

Outside the camp, a group of civil and military officers heard the movement and walked in one after another.

"Wei Gong? What conditions did Liu Bei propose! Cheng Yu walked into the camp tent and saw the situation in the camp tent, and couldn't help but ask Cao Cao with some doubts.

Cao Cao shouted: "Xun Yu has taken refuge in Liu Bei!" I want to do my best to fight Liu Bei to the death! ”

"Duke Wei is angry!" Sima Yi, who was lying on the ground, said: "Xun Lingjun was left in Xiangyang at the beginning, maybe he was only obtained by Liu Bei, but he should not have taken refuge in Liu Bei!" ”

"What's going on?" Cheng Yu walked up to Sima Yi and asked in a low voice, and Sima Yi explained to Cheng Yu.

"Wei Gong!" When Cheng Yu heard this, he quickly reacted, and arched his hand: "Wen Ruo is loyal to Duke Wei, and he was trapped in Xiangyang and fell into the hands of Liu Bei, but it is impossible for him to take refuge in Liu Bei, I think Liu Bei wants Wen Ruo's family, and he should want to win over Wen Ruo." ”

After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao calmed down a lot.

Cheng Yu continued: "Lord, now that most of Budugen's cavalry has fallen ill, if it continues to drag on, it will be even more unfavorable to our army, and we should withdraw as soon as possible, so it is better to agree to Liu Bei's request."

Wen Ruo's prestige is known all over the world, although he did not take refuge in Liu Bei, but Liu Bei did not dare to do anything to him, it is better to hand over his wife to Liu Bei and reunite their family. ”

Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy.

Xun Yu's relationship with him, no one can understand.

It's like, a person who was originally his best friend, but played with his biggest enemy, how could Cao Cao be willing?

Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "Duke Wei, please focus on the overall situation!" ”

"Please Gong Wei put the overall situation first!" A group of civil and military officers in the palace have been admonished.

Cao Cao silently made it to his seat, waved his hand, and asked everyone to go down.

The crowd retreated.

"Sima Yi stays!"

Sima Yi was the last to leave, but was stopped by Cao Cao.

Sima Yi hurriedly knelt down again, Cao Cao sat on the seat, his face was full of confusion, and said to Sima Yi: "I have been fighting in the east and west for more than 20 years, destroying Lu Bu, defeating Yuan Shu, Dinghebei, Pingxi Liang, the power is monstrous, and no one in the world is invincible. But now there is Liu Bei's variable, do you think I will be the next Yuan Shao? ”

"Absolutely not!" Sima Yi shook his head.

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Although Duke Wei did not get Hanzhong, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones, after Liu Bei takes Hanzhong, he will also have to recuperate, and within three years, he will not be able to continue to use troops." Yongliang has the danger of Qinchuan, Jingzhou is the place of four battles, Liu Bei's next step should be the Northern Expedition to Yongliang, the lord is waiting for work, it is not difficult to defeat Liu Bei.

As for Jingzhou, Yi is still the original suggestion to unite with Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou! ”

"Regret shouldn't have used your best strategy!" Cao Cao sighed and said, "Maybe it's a different situation now!" ”

Sima Yi said: "At that time, Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, it is not too late to use this strategy!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Go and tell Liu Bei, I agreed to his proposal, and then send an order to the Central Plains to bring Xu Shu and Xun Yu's family over as soon as possible." Liu Bei, I'll make you proud for a while, and one day, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried! ”

"No!" Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, Sima Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Cao Cao's anger would make Zhi faint and start a war with Liu Bei.

A month and a half has passed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Cao sent iron cavalry back to Yecheng and took Xu Shu, Xun Yu's family came to Keigu.

On the plains beyond the Mitoya Valley,

Cao Cao led his troops to start a deal with Liu Bei.

The two groups of people looked at each other from a distance.

On Cao Jun's side, carriages escorted grain and grass, and salt was transported to Liu Bei's array.

Next to Liu Bei, there stood the grizzled Xiahou Yuan, in addition to the two Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Rong.

At this moment, Liu Bei looked happy, looking at a middle-aged man in white beside Cao Cao.

Although it has been eight years since he was separated, Liu Bei still recognized his identity at a glance.

This person is Xu Shu!
