Chapter 918: Liu Bei's Messenger (2)

"Liu Bei sent a messenger?!" Cao Cao's whole person was stunned, first stunned, and randomly angry.

"Where is the messenger?"

"Chang'an!" After Liu Bei's envoy arrived in Chang'an, Zhong Xuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the letter brought by the envoy to Xu Du in an urgent eight hundred miles.

"Tell Zhong Xuan, drag me out and cut it!" Cao Cao really has a lot of resentment towards Liu Bei. It's no wonder that at the beginning, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to be honored by you.

Lao Cao also took Liu Bei to play cooking wine and talk about heroes.

But in the end, he was betrayed by Liu Bei.

said a good relationship, said a good friend for a lifetime, just about to share the bed with Liu Bei and enjoy the blooming of chrysanthemums together.

In the end, he was red-faced and red-eared.

betrayed him Cao Cao, not to mention, but also killed his generals under Cao Cao.

How can you not make Cao Cao angry?

Now this Liu Xuande even dared to send a messenger.

I really think that his old Cao is good-tempered.

"The king is slow, slow!" Xun You hurriedly stopped Cao Cao, a mere messenger, said that he would kill him, but it didn't matter, but the letter sent by Liu Bei was very boring.

"Letters?!" Lao Cao calmed down his anger under Xun You's reminder, but he still snorted coldly, "He Liu Da'er, no, it should be called one ear now!" "Liu Bei was shot off one of his ears, Cao Cao also knew, and he felt very comfortable.

"He has one ear and sends a letter, what good can he do, it's just like me asking for help and wanting to form an alliance with me!" Cao Cao said disdainfully, it is worthy of killing each other, two people who love each other, even what does Liu Bei think. Cao Cao knows it.

"Your Majesty! This Liu Bei really wants to ask for help like the lord, but this is indeed an opportunity for us! With that, Xun You handed over the letter in his hand to Cao Cao over there.

Cao Cao took the letter in his hand.

Sure enough, what was written on it was Liu Bei's meaty words.

What, and Brother Cao Cao, I said goodbye back then, a little over the years, and I still remember it vividly.

What should I not have listened to my brother in the first place. So far, it has ended up in such a field.

If ordinary people see the content, they will be moved to tears. But who is Cao Cao?

"Lord, what Liu Bei said, Yangzhou Liu Mang's army has entered Jingzhou and is persecuting towards Yizhou, if this Han King Liu Mang gets Jingzhou Yizhou, it will really be on an equal footing with my army!" Xun Yu said to Cao Cao worriedly.

"Yes!" Cao Cao also frowned and stood up.

His old Cao's purpose is to frame the Han family and achieve the achievements of Wei Qing and Li Guang at the beginning.

It's just that later the Han family couldn't be supported. He Cao Cao had to come to power.

A strife in the south and a unified south are completely different for Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, this ear, although it is not a good thing, is also conclusive!" Xun Yu also supported the death of one ear, and the reason why his eldest nephew Xun Yu was moved out of the center of Xu Capital by Cao Cao was like today. Instead, he went to the barren land of Liaodong, isn't it because he was brainwashed by this one ear?

Therefore, Xun You still has an attitude of hatred towards Liu Bei.

"If Liu Mang unifies Yizhou now. Occupy Jing Chu, then the great cause of the king will be difficult! Xun You was persuading Cao Cao from the rational side.

is telling Lao Cao, although you hate Liu Bei, there is an indisputable fact, that is, a person who is more threatening than Liu Bei has risen.

Before you didn't send troops, you didn't want to be used as a gun by Liu Bei. And now Liu Bei is already barely breathing, and it will be a matter of minutes to kill him.

It's time to turn around and deal with another big enemy.

"Did his Liu Bei's envoy ever say that there were geometric soldiers and horses in Yangzhou who entered Jingzhou?" Cao Cao is not a fool, and he can achieve the position of King Wei, so he naturally has his decisiveness.

"Liu Bei said, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses! All Liu Mangjun elite! Xun You first told Cao Cao the words sent by Liu Bei's envoy. coupled with his own speculation, "However, in You's opinion, hundreds of thousands are fake, 50,000 soldiers and horses are categorically there, and the elite strength is fake, and half of them are still there!" ”

According to the current scene, in Shouchun, around Yangzhou, only half of Liu Mang's army remained.

The remaining half went to exterminate Liu Bei, also to unify Jingzhou and Yizhou. "Half of the soldiers!" Cao Cao frowned, even if it was half of the soldiers and horses, this Yangzhou should not be underestimated.

Maybe it's because the comfortable life has been going on for a long time, so Cao Cao's whole mind is now a little out of the world competition.

If the south was just a few small princes, he Cao Cao would naturally lead the army south with a wave of his hand, but now this south also has a hegemon.

The two powerhouses are competing, it is impossible to have no losses, Cao Cao has already flinched a little.

"A few days ago, there was a Xiliang Ma Chao making trouble!" Xun You looked at Cao Cao's expression and knew that Cao Cao had a slack look, and he Xun You could only feed Cao Cao.

"In the army, General Xiahou sent a letter, there is a scribe, all the armies of Xiliang call him Zhuge Military Division, if it weren't for Ma Chao's unruly and unruly person, I am afraid that General Xiahou will also be difficult to break the Xiliang thief!" Xun You looked at Cao Cao and said.

"Zhuge Military Division?!" Cao Cao's eyes widened. There are many people in the world surnamed Zhuge , but there are few famous ones, and now the most famous is Zhuge Liang, the secretary of the criminal department under Liu Mang.

This person has burned Jiangdong's last hope with a fire.

The reason why Sun Ce surrendered was not only to treat Zhou Yu's illness, but also because a fire in the Yangtze River completely burned Jiangdong's capital to dominate the world.

Without this capital, what will he use to dominate the world.

"Cheng Shangshu's people also sent a letter! This Shouchun has held several hall meetings, but he has never seen this Zhuge Shangshu, and the Criminal Department has not seen their adults for a long time! Xun You said calmly.

Zhuge Liang is not in Yangzhou, and there is a Zhuge Shangshu in Xiliang!

Even a fool knows how bad it is.

This Zhuge military advisor is probably Zhuge Liang.

Then the entire Xiliang Rebellion was also the action of the Yangzhou Army.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, he didn't deal with others, but some individuals didn't want to let him go Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, if a man has no foresight, he will have near-term worries. The king has forgotten Xuzhou, has he forgotten Yuzhou, or has the king forgotten that Yuan Shao and Yuan have been original! Xun You's words are really vicious.

Xuzhou Yuzhou, this is all Yangzhou Liu Mang forcibly snatched from Cao Cao's mouth.

A Xuzhou, how many times did he Cao Cao fight?

When Tao Qian was alive. Cao Cao fought three times, Tao Qian died, and when Liu Bei was there, Lao Cao beat again, plus Lu Bu later, it was another time.

Lu Bu left, Liu Bei rebelled, and this was one more time.

Six attacks on Xuzhou.

What is he Cao Cao's picture! In the end, this Xuzhou was still occupied by Liu Mang's Yangzhou army.

It's like a dowry for someone else.

Originally, Lao Cao in Yuzhou also had half of the city. But in order to deal with Yuan Shao, Lao Cao also had an attitude of calming things, and was almost taken by Lu Bu to take a wolf ride in Xudu to take a trip.

was so frightened that he withdrew the army directly.

Let Liu Mang get Yuzhou again.

That's not all, Xun You actually mentioned Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

At that time, Yuan Shao was like today's Cao Cao, sitting in the north, looking down on the Central Plains princes, thinking that with a wave of his hand, the Central Plains princes would inevitably fall to the wind.

But how could I have thought of it. In the end, he was beaten by Lao Cao and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he couldn't take care of himself. was also imprisoned by his own son, and finally died tragically in Nanpi.

"I see!" Cao Cao nodded, if he was still hesitant or didn't want to tear his face with Liu Mang before, now Cao Cao has a different appearance.

Be on one's high horse! The current Cao Cao feels like this.

In Xun You's eyes, what burst out of Cao Cao's one-meter-five body at this moment was a kind of heroic temperament that belonged to him.

"Gongda, pass the order. The Wei King's Mansion is discussing! Cao Cao said in a calm voice to Xun You.

"Yes!" Xun You's eyes were full of joy. This is the lord who he wanted to assist at the beginning.

The entire Xu capital got rid of the previous decadence at once, and Cao Cao's personal guards rushed to the mansions of the major generals and adults in the Xu capital.

"Father, you want to raise the account?! What can be said? "In the middle of the city, there is a Cao mansion. The young man in the middle put down the book in his hand and looked at the visitor and asked.

This is the first time in several months, and it was the last time I went to Xiliang.

"Back to the second son, this will not be known!" The guard who came to pass the word lowered his eyebrows and said, he is Cao Cao's personal guard, and he can have arrogance in the homes of other ministers and generals After all, he represents Cao Cao, but in this Cao Mansion, he does not dare to be presumptuous at all.

"Alright, I got it! Come, lead this general to the treasury, receive 100 gold, and say I promised! Cao Pi is very good at being a man, and immediately waved his hand and rewarded him with ten gold.

"How can this be done!" The guards all smiled on their brows, but they were polite.

Cao Pi didn't speak, but picked up the book, and seemed to be attracted by the world in the book again, and the subordinates on the side naturally knew what Cao Pi meant: "This general, please!" ”

"Thank you Second Son, thank you Second Son!" The guards left with a smile.

Cao Pi watched the guards leave, and also put down the book again.

"Hundred! Poof, poof! A young man who walked out from behind Cao Pi sighed with emotion: "The second son is really generous!" ”

100 gold is enough for a wealthy family, and after several years of worship, even if it is above Cao Pi's mansion, 100 gold is enough to be used for a while.

"Why, Zhongda, you want it too, just take it!" Cao Pi didn't look back to know who it was, and quipped.

"Zhong Da is not interested in the hundred gold, but the person who can spill the hundred gold at once!" Another young man walked out, this man with blue eyes and purple hair, and he was so dazzling in the crowd.

"The second son should have the demeanor of King Wei!" The purple-haired youth continued.

"Yes!" Cao Pi cherishes words like gold, but there is a temporary brilliance in his eyes, that kind of thing is called ambition.

"Let's go, Zhongda, Zhongmou, father should already be waiting for us!" Cao Pi said.

"So I want it!" The two followed step by step, and outside the mansion, the carriage was prepared early to wait for the three of them.

The three are mainly Cao Pi. The other two, one is Sima Yi, the word Zhongda, and the other is Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou.

Cao Pi entered the hall of King Wei's mansion, and everyone around him stepped forward to say hello.

Cao Pi also accepted it happily, but a few people nodded to Cao Pi. Stop.

Although Cao Pi still had a smile on his face, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, why, everyone else whispered to me Cao Pi, but you people just nodded.

Even if these individuals are his elders of Cao Pi, there are Cheng Yu, Xun You and others.

This feeling became more and more sensitive after the death of his eldest brother Cao Ang and his father Cao Cao became the king of Wei.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. The Han family has completely lost its prestige, and now the north is dominated by Cao Cao's group, and Cao Cao has now called the King of Wei with a sword and goes to the palace, plus nine seals, and one step in the future will be the emperor.

As Cao Cao's current eldest son, he Cao Pi is destined to inherit Cao Cao's great cause, and at worst, he is also a King of Wei, such an identity. How can you not let Cao Pi have a sense of pride.

Once the right thing is contaminated, it will be difficult to let go

"Yo. Isn't this the big nephew! A military general grinned at Cao Ren.

As soon as he heard this voice, Cao Pi's whole face became gloomy.

Big nephew! Although it represents intimacy, some people naturally like not intimacy, but rights, and he is the master. You are a courtier.

This person's hand slapped directly on Cao Pi's shoulder.

Cao Pi's face turned blue, and he closed his eyes, for fear that the killing intent inside would be exposed to him.

However, he still turned his head and squeezed out a smile on this person's face, "Uncle Hong! ”

"Hey!" Cao Hong grinned, this is what he wanted. He and Cao Pi are actually the same, they both like the attention and envy of others.

It's just that Cao Hong is for vanity, and Cao Pi is for the enjoyment of power.

"The king is coming soon! Ladies and gentlemen, please be silent! A man who looked like a eunuch stepped out and spoke to the crowd.

The King of Wei is a prince, so he naturally needs to be equipped with eunuchs.

"King Wei has arrived!"

"Greetings to the King!"

"Get up!" Cao Cao waved his hand and spoke under his hand.

Cao Cao sat on the top of the throne and faced everyone, full of majesty.

Cao Pi looked at it below, and his heart couldn't help but get hot, this position will be mine sooner or later.

"Yuan heir, Tuntian's strategy, can there be a harvest?" As soon as Cao Cao sat on the throne, he immediately asked one of the generals under his command.

said that he was a military general but was wearing a scribe's robe, not that this person was hypocritical, but that he really had no need to fight.

He is Han Hao, the central protector under Cao Cao.

His task was not to fight, his task was to provide food and grass for the entire Cao Cao army.

"Back to the lord!" Han Hao took a step forward and said to Cao Cao, "Half of Yanzhou has already tuntian, going north, Jizhou Youzhou has also restored nongsang, but the state is barren, and the wars have been fought again and again, so that the names of the people are boring, and there is no geometry left in the men, if you want to restore the nongsang, it will take some time!" ”

And the state is the real place where the world's heroes are produced, let's talk about a little closer.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf ride, Gao Shun's trapping camp, are all from Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao, who was a little farther away, had the iron cavalry in his hand and ascended the halberd first, and they were all willing to choose from the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou.

This series of battles, you fight me, and there are not many men left in the state. Therefore, it is difficult to restore agriculture for a while. "Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, he had also heard about the affairs of Bingzhou.

"Yuan heir, and the state is like this, when the household registration is counted, the people in Guanzhong are transferred, and the taxes are reduced!" Cao Cao immediately set a strategy.

"King" Cao Cao hadn't finished speaking, but Han Hao over there interrupted.

"Huh? Does the heir have something to say? ”

"Your Majesty, although the state is barren, it is not appropriate to transfer the people of Guanzhong!" Han Hao talked eloquently to Cao Cao, although the matter of the state is urgent, but after all, Yanzhou and Jizhou, these grain-producing lands, have not been able to grow all the grain.

Now the top priority should first meet the needs of Guanzhong, and we must not let the fertile land in Guanzhong be left to develop the barren land in the state.

"Well, the heir of the Yuan is right! But if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid the state will be uninhabited! Cao Cao is also worried, if this continues. There are fewer people in the state.

"Your Majesty, these last generals have also thought of a strategy, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" Han Hao hesitated a little.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, we should learn from Liu Mang of Yangzhou, encourage fertility, divide the fields, and then restore and merge the state!"

Han Hao's words are not finished yet. They screamed one by one.

"No king!"

"General Han, what nonsense are you talking about!"

These people called the most virtuous brothers must be those scholars, divide the land? Just kidding, who in their families doesn't have 10,000 acres of fertile land, if they play like Yangzhou, they will be finished long ago.

They represent the big landlords, and you expect the landlords to divide the land, dreaming.

Han Hao's face was blue, he naturally knew the difficulty of this, "Everything is still judged by the lord!" ”

"Yes! What Han Ha said makes sense! Cao Cao nodded and affirmed Han Hao's words. The group of scholars below was in a hurry.

"However, Bingzhou is not Yangzhou, and our army is not the Yangzhou army!" Cao Cao didn't know that the division of fields and the ownership of the fields belonged to the government, what a good policy it was, but Cao Cao couldn't do it!

Because Cao Cao is supported by these big landlords! Sometimes Cao Cao also envied the Han king Liu Mang, who developed from scratch.

So he doesn't have to worry so much. Kill whoever you want, those warriors can't restrain him Liu Mang at all.

And Cao Cao is different. He relied on these scholars to develop, his army is full of the children of various scholars, if today he Cao Cao received the land and belonged to the imperial court, then tomorrow his old Cao's subordinates will be able to rebel.

"But!" Han Hao still wanted to hold on.

"Nothing! General Han Hao, it is simply impossible to divide the fields. All of you in power, the biggest owners of this field should be my Cao family and Xiahou family, does General Han want to divide the fields of our two families! Before Cao Cao could speak, Cao Pi over there spoke first.

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and then he let go.

Some of the scholars on the side couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Cao Pi's words. This shows that Cao Pi is on the side of their clan, and they are all competing to fall into the well, and they are making nonsense at Han Hao, almost saying that Han Hao is the spy sent by Liu Mang.

"Poof!" While everyone was arguing, a laugh rang out.

"Who is laughing at?" This laughter was so harsh in Cao Pi's ears that Cao Pi couldn't help but exhale.

But the laughter was gone again.

"Hmph, which general is still an adult, do you dare to laugh and dare not speak!" Cao Pi continued to say coldly, he Cao Pi enjoyed this feeling very much, everyone paid attention, he was the center.

"Why don't you dare to say anything!" A still very immature voice rang out.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice, and it was really a doll, and it looked like it was eleven or twelve years old.

This is the meeting hall of the Wei King's Mansion, but he never thought that such a child who had not yet reached the crown would come.

"Which adult's family is this, don't you know that this is the palace of King Wei?" Cao Pi swept over the generals and ministers with cold eyes, and none of them dared to look at the future lord of the Cao family.

Cao Cao didn't want to speak, so he sat back and watched the majesty of his son Cao Pi, after all, Lao Cao's last great cause was also to be taught to his sons, and Cao Pi was Cao Cao's eldest son

If a child questions Cao Pi, how will Cao Pi deal with major matters in the future if he doesn't handle it well.

"What are you palace guards doing! I let this person get in! Come on, give me this rod to blame! "Cao Pi is really ruthless, this young man is only eleven or twelve years old, but he has to be dragged out of the cane and punished, I'm afraid that after the beating, he will be abolished.

"No doubt, no doubt!" Behind the boy was an even smaller boy, shouting at the boy.

Cao Cao and the others couldn't help but be stupid when they saw the young man behind him.

"Little boy!" Everyone exclaimed, and the person who followed behind him was no one else, it was Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Chong.

"Chong'er?" Cao Cao was also stunned, he didn't remember how he had Cao Chong come to the meeting hall.

"Brother Chong?!"

"Father, second brother, and asked my father to atone for his sins, I had to come to see my father's kingly style, so I came with no doubt about the money!" Cao Chong stepped forward and became cute, putting all the blame on himself, "If it's the second brother, you have to fight, hit me!" ”

Hit you?! Cao Pi's heart became gloomy, not to mention that Cao Chong is Cao Cao's most beloved youngest son, even if it is not, he Cao Pi does not dare to disobey this brotherly love.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Cao Cao smiled, "Come, Chong'er, come to my father!" Cao Cao said doting to Cao Chong. (To be continued......)
