Chapter 257: Blackmailing Cao Cao
Liu Wei looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, how could he send himself away so easily.
Although he has no intention of going to war with Cao Cao now, the extra grain and grass spent on this delay will naturally be compensated by Cao Cao.
Although this Mi family is now a family with himself, even if it is so, he has to blackmail Cao Cao.
Anyway, from this incident, it can be fully explained that Li Zi and Cao Cao's forces will definitely not be able to coexist in the end.
In this case, there is no need to be polite.
If he was able to persuade Zhang Xiu to help send troops this time, he also paid the price, since it was all for the sake of profit, he naturally had to get a little back from Cao Cao.
"Zilong, you bring me a pen and paper." Liu Wei motioned for Zhao Yun to take the pen and paper.
Liu Bian's pen asked Cao Cao for a thousand stones of grain and grass, of course, the reason was naturally Cao Hong.
A thousand stones is not much, but it is not too little, and while it can make Cao Cao feel distressed, it will not completely tear his face right now.
If Cao Cao wanted to, it would be impossible to use Liu Xie's name to intercept himself and want to fight this Danyang elite soldier's idea.
Ten days later.
"Brother Huang, it's my fault this time, let you be trapped in Runan, Brother Huang, now that I have sent the document, there will definitely be no one stopping Brother Huang."
Outside Runan City, Liu Xie led everyone to watch Liu Wei apologize.
"Since the imperial brother knows that he is wrong, I naturally can't blame too much as the imperial brother." Liu Wei patted Liu Xie's shoulder and smiled.
"Your Majesty, brotherly harmony is really a blessing of the Han Dynasty, this time Cao Hong actually offended Your Majesty, Meng De is here to make amends to Your Majesty."
"The minister specially brought a thousand stones of grain and grass to show his gratitude, and asked His Majesty not to blame."
At this time, Cao Cao, who was on the side, looked at Liu Wei and said.
Liu Wei knew that Cao Cao said this just to save face.
But he didn't care, anyway, the goal had been achieved, so he nodded, looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile:
"Since the emperor's brother and Meng De are so sincere, how can I be a person who doesn't know the general situation."
Soon, Liu Wei asked Cao Hong to be escorted over.
When Cao Hong saw Cao Cao, he immediately lowered his head, obviously ashamed.
"Cao Hong, still don't make amends to Your Majesty?" Regarding Cao Hong's shame, Cao Cao scolded as if he had never seen it.
"The last general, Cao Hong, pleads guilty to His Majesty."
Cao Cao spoke, and Cao Hong naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he could only make amends.
"Since Meng De intercedes for you, I naturally want to give face, and I won't make an example."
Liu Wei looked at Cao Hong and said, and then ordered someone to loosen Cao Hong's bonds.
"Alright, it's not too early, I'll take my leave."
Watching Liu Wei lead the people to leave, the original Liu Xie's smiling face was gone at this time.
"Gong Cao, now that the imperial brother has retreated, should we deal with Zhang Xiu next?" Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao and asked.
The events of the past few days made him understand that Cao Cao is still in power after all, so he needs to endure it.
"Your Majesty has already retreated, and Zhang Xiu doesn't need to pay attention to it, but I have written down this hatred."
Cao Cao glanced at Liu Xie, and after speaking, he directly led the people away.
Although Liu Xie didn't speak, he was naturally unhappy in his heart.
Although Cao Cao called himself and his imperial brother His Majesty, he was more disdainful of himself, but he had an appreciation for the imperial brother.
After the incident of Runan, Liu Ban led the men and horses back to Jinyang from Cao Cao's territory unimpeded.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Liu Wei saw the opera Zhicai who had recovered at this time, and immediately turned over and dismounted to meet him.
"Zhicai, you've finally recovered." Liu Wei looked at Xi Zhicai and said excitedly.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, now Zhicai's health is fine, just need to take more care." Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and smiled.
Liu Wei looked at Xi Zhicai and nodded, it is not difficult to see that there is indeed a big gap between the appearance of Xi Zhicai at this time and before.
But at least he survived, which is already a blessing.
"Your Majesty's trip to Xuzhou, the minister has already heard that if there is no Lord Tao in charge, Xuzhou is indeed difficult to hold, and Your Majesty does not need to mind too much." Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and admonished.
"Yes, I see." Liu Wei nodded, Guo Jia had mentioned these things in his heart.
Soon Liu Wei instructed Xun You to start arranging the resettlement of the Mi family and the Tao family, and as for the Danyang elite soldiers, they were taken to the military camp by Dian Wei.
However, in comparison, more troublesome and more difficult to place than these is naturally Mi Zhen.
Liu Wei led Mi Zhen towards the mansion, thinking that he already had a wife in the house, and this time he brought another one back, Liu Wei was a little embarrassed.
But Mi Zhen was very generous and didn't mind Tang Ji's existence.
At the door of the mansion, led by Tang Ji at this time, the women were already waiting at the door.
Liu Wei's figure is also getting clearer and clearer, and at the same time, so is Mi Zhen's figure.
The women were stunned for a moment, and then their faces quickly returned to their original state.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." After Tang Ji came to Liu Wei, he immediately bowed and saluted.
Then Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang were the same.
After the salute, the girls looked at Mi Zhen, and then at Liu Wei, looking like you don't plan to introduce.
"Ahem." Liu Wei said with some embarrassment.
"Zhen'er, this is my queen."
"Mi Zhen has seen the queen mother." Mi Zhen looked at Tang Ji and saluted.
"This is Yan'er, and she is also my concubine, Yan'er is a talented girl, she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Liu Wei looked at Cai Yan and introduced.
"This is Jiang Er, the young lady of the Zhen family, and now she is my woman just like you."
"Zhen'er has seen two older sisters." Mi Zhen looked at Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang again and saluted.
"Your Majesty often tells Zhen'er that the queen is virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and kind-hearted, and when I see it today, it is really like this, and the two sisters are also beautiful, but Zhen'er is ashamed of herself."
Liu Wei glanced at Mi Zhen, but he was a little surprised, usually this girl is very aggressive, but today she is quite enlightened.
"Sister Zhen'er has won the award, Sister Zhen'er can win His Majesty's favor, why bother to be presumptuous, we still need to work together to serve Your Majesty in the future."
Tang Ji glanced at Liu Wei, then took Mi Zhen's hand and said with a smile.
"Seeing you all working together makes me feel relieved." Liu Wei subconsciously looked at the girls and smiled.
However, several people gave Liu Wei a blank look, and Liu Wei immediately stopped talking.
"Let's go, the queen is waiting inside."
Tang Ji stepped out of the way, and then spoke.
Liu Wei nodded and immediately went in.
I thought I had better restrain myself a little, otherwise, it would be a bit too much.
But soon Liu Wei knew that he was thinking too much.
"Yes, the emperor's vision is really good." He Hou looked at Mi Zhen and nodded with satisfaction and said.
"But the emperor, you must not have a new person, forget the old one, and should be wet with rain and dew." He Hou immediately looked at Liu Wei and asked.
Liu Wei could only respond with some embarrassment, "The child knows." ”
Seeing Liu Wei's answer, He Hou nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Tang Ji.
"Empress, you should also bear more, after all, the emperor's three palaces and six courts are also ordinary."
"The concubines obey the teachings of the queen mother." Tang Ji replied with a bow.
In the following days, Liu Wei went to court again as usual to deal with big and small things, and this incident in Xuzhou also gave him a great lesson.
I also saw the necessity of strengthening my own strength, otherwise I would be unable to cope with any changes in the future.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency asks to see you."
"Let him in." In the study, Liu Wei put down the fold in his hand and spoke.
Now that he has returned to Jinyang for more than half a month, Wang Yue is coming at this time, could it be that something can't be done?
"Master Wang, what is the matter with coming here today?" Without waiting for Wang Yue to salute, Liu Wei had already taken the initiative to ask.
After Wang Yue listened to Liu Wei's inquiry, he naturally didn't dare to delay, so he spoke.
"Your Majesty, according to the news, now Lu Bu and Liu Bei have become enemies, and they want to take the opportunity to take Huainan and other places in one fell swoop."
Liu Wei nodded, and Lu Bu finally made a move.
"Keep an eye on this matter and keep you reported."
"Yes." Wang Yue responded.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xun asked to see him, saying that he was in a hurry to see His Majesty." As soon as Wang Yue's words fell, a soldier shouted outside the door.
"Let Gongda come in." Liu Wei opened his mouth and said, since Xun You has an urgent matter, he naturally can't delay.
After Xun You came in, Liu Wei didn't wait for him to salute, so he asked directly.
"Your Majesty, Xiliang Ma Chao came to see Your Majesty on the orders of his father Ma Teng, and he will reach Jinyang in a few days." Xun You looked at Liu Wei and replied.
