Chapter 867: Killing Order
Liu Bei had already thought that Cao Cao might attack Xuzhou, and he practiced his soldiers and horses all day long, and Cao Cao was also actively making deployments, intending to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop.
Compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Yuan Shao of Hebei didn't seem to care about the Shouchun war at all, and he didn't respond at all.
Holding a family banquet in Guan Qing's dormitory, Liu Wei thought that Cai Yan's Yaoqin and Tang Ji's singing and dancing could make him feel more soothing for the time being, but during the family banquet, he felt more and more irritable.
In the first battle of Shouchun, the Qin army lost Shouchun City, for Liu Wei, this defeat did not hurt his muscles and bones, but Yu Yu and Han Xian died in battle, which always made him haunted.
"Well, you can wait and go back and rest!" After Tang Ji sang and danced, Liu Wei waved his hand to the princesses sitting in the hall and said, "This king will rest here tonight with the princess, and when he comes to the next day, he will visit you and wait!" β
Seeing that Liu Wei was a little absent-minded, Tang Ji, Cai Yan and Tao Huanniang stood up one after another, said goodbye, and walked out of Guan Qing's dormitory accompanied by their respective maids.
Tang Ji and the others left, and the maids in Guan Qing's palace were cleaning up the tables in the hall, and a maid ran in from outside the house and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, General Wang Liu is here, saying that there is something important to present!" β
Wang Liu and Wang Zhen both knew that Liu Wei was in a bad mood, and if it wasn't something particularly important, Wang Liu would definitely not come to disturb him.
Knowing that Wang Liu was coming, Liu Wei said to the maid: "Please General Wang Liu come in and speak!" β
The maid answered, turned around and walked out of the front hall, and after a moment, Wang Liu stepped into the hall.
"Your Highness!" Standing facing Liu Wei, Wang Liu hugged his fists and bowed to him.
Raising his hand towards Wang Liuxu, Liu Wei asked, "What is the matter with the general, at this time, you want to present it to this king?" β
Taking out a letter from his bosom, Wang Liu said to Liu Wei: "The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu has gone to humble, and he has already led the army to defeat Liu Bao, the king of the left virtuous, and Da Danyu has also been put under house arrest!" This letter was sent to the humble people! β
Holding the letter in both hands, Wang Liu handed it to Liu Wei.
Hearing that Qubei had led the army to defeat Liu Bao, and also placed the Hun Da Dan Yu, who was Liu Bianyi's son, under house arrest, Liu Bian's brows were tightly locked, and he took the letter handed by Wang Liu, and unfolded it and browsed it!
"Go humbled and be so daring!" After reading the letter, Liu Wei's face turned pale, slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "If this king starts a war with Cao Cao, he really has no time to crusade against the Huns?" βγ
Liu Wei was furious, Wang Liu hugged his fists and bowed down and didn't dare to speak, and Guan Qing on the side also stood with his hands down, not daring to interject for half a sentence.
Pressing the letter on the table, Liu Wei frowned, and after a long while, he instructed the maid on the side: "Go and invite Ju Ci!" β
The maid who got Liu Wei's orders also saw that he was in a rage, so she hurriedly answered and ran quickly towards the back garden.
When Liu Wei held a family banquet in the front hall, he also asked people to invite Liu Nu.
Due to the discussion with Guan Qing, Liu Nu felt very embarrassed to meet Liu Weihui, so he did not accept the invitation to participate in the family banquet, but shirked it on the grounds that it was inconvenient to participate in the family banquet.
Sitting by the pond in the back garden, looking at the fish swimming freely in the pond, Liu Nu was always silent, and even Tao'er, who stood behind her and kept caressing her with her long nose, failed to attract her attention.
"Juji, Your Highness is invited!" was looking at the fish in the pond in a daze, and the maid who came to invite her on Liu Wei's order had already arrived behind her.
Thinking only about his own thoughts, Liu Nu did not hear the voice of the maid.
......Seeing that Liu Nu did not respond, the maid raised her voice a little higher and called her again.
This time, Liu Nu heard the maid's voice and hurriedly turned his face to look at her.
"Your Highness, please!" Seeing that Liu Nu turned his face, the maid whispered what Liu Wei meant.
"Didn't you say that? His Royal Highness's family banquet, it is inconvenient for this residence to participate! Turning his head to look at the pond, Liu Nu said to the maid, "Go and tell Your Highness on your behalf......
"The family feast has ended, and the princesses have gone back!" As soon as Liu Nu's words were finished, the maid said, "Your Highness wants the slave and maid to come and invite the second!" β
"Oh!" Hearing that Liu Wei specially invited her, Liu Nu also muttered in his heart, wondering if Guan Qing had already told Liu Wei about the matter, and his little face turned red instantly.
"Ju Ji......" Seeing that Liu Nu just blushed and didn't get up, the maid called her softly again.
"Lead the way for this second!" The maid's call made Liu Nu stunned for a moment, she first held her hot face with both hands, and then whispered a word to the maid.
Born in the Xiongnu, Liu Nu is babbling on weekdays, not as supple as the Central Plains women at all, and even Guan Qing is much gentler than her.
Liu Nu's appearance was really difficult for the maid to get used to, but she didn't dare to ask anything, just stood sideways, waiting for Liu Nu to get up.
In the front hall of Guan Qing's bedroom, Liu Wei unfolded the letter on the table in front of him, although his anger had receded a lot, his face was still very ugly.
Wang Liu stood opposite Liu Wei, and since she entered the hall, she didn't even dare to move half a step.
Although she has been following Liu Bian, she is very clear about Liu Bian's temperament.
Although Liu Wei is very kind to the people and soldiers, he rarely gets angry when he talks to their subordinates on weekdays, but once he gets angry, it will be a river of blood!
From Liu Wei's face, Wang Liu had already seen that this time he was afraid that going to humility would really anger him.
His face was pale, and he looked at the letters written by Zhibei himself over and over again, and Liu Wei already had a strong killing intent in his heart.
In the first battle of Shouchun, the Qin army was newly defeated, Liu Wei was bored in his heart, and this letter was undoubtedly leading the fire to the Xiongnu.
Guan Qing stood beside Liu Wei with his hands down, seeing that he just looked at the letter in front of him over and over again, he didn't dare to speak, but he was a little worried, if Liu Nu came, Liu Wei would not transfer his anger to her, after all, Liu Nu was still the second of the Huns.
Even Guan Qing didn't dare to speak, and the maids waiting in the front hall held their breath one by one and didn't dare to speak, and the entire front hall fell into a deathly silence.
Still thinking about what Liu Wei was looking for her for, Liu Nu went to invite her maid to the front hall, and as soon as she entered the hall, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
The maid who led her to the hall retreated to the corner of the wall and stood, Liu Nu walked to Wang Liu's side, and whispered to Liu Wei: "I heard that His Royal Highness is looking for the second ...... of this residence."
Hearing Liu Nu speak, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at her, his face was still iron-blue.
"Let's take a look at this letter!" Looking up at Liu Nu, Liu Wei reached out and grabbed the letter on the table and handed it to her.
Glancing at Liu Wei with some apprehension, Liu Nu walked to the low table with his head down, and took the letter with both hands.
Taking two steps back, he unfolded the letter, and Liunu read it word by word.
The Xiongnu nobles all knew Chinese characters, and as the second place of the Xiongnu, Liu Nu also asked the teacher of the Han family to teach her to recognize Chinese characters, and there would be no difficulty in reading letters.
After reading the contents of the letter, Liu Nu raised his head and looked at Liu Wei, but before he could speak, his eyes were already rippling with tears.
Looking at Liu Nu, Liu Wei asked her in a cold voice: "Go and defeat Liu Leopard, hold Da Dan Yu hostage, and also blackmail this king, and ask this king to send Ju Ji back to the Xiongnu." What do you think about this matter? β
"I've been in Luoyang for a long time, and Luoyang is like my home!" Slowly closing his eyes, two lines of tears were already flowing down his cheeks, Liu Nu choked and said: "Da Dan Yu was held hostage by Debei, and King Zuoxian was also defeated and captured, if His Highness does not send me back to the Huns, I will send troops to Bei......"
"Ju Ci just say, do you want to return to the Huns!" Before Liu Nu finished speaking, Liu Wei interrupted her and said to her: "The other kings all know, there is no need to repeat it!" β
"I don't want to!" Pursing his lips tightly, tears have fallen like beads with broken threads, Liu Nu shook his head vigorously, and then said with a lonely face: "It's just because of me, if you really annoy it, go to ......."
"What can you do if you are annoyed and humble?" Liu Wei snorted coldly, stretched out his hand towards Liu Nu and said, "Ju Ci will return the letter to this king!" β
was interrupted by Liu Wei again, Liu Nu knew that Liu Wei wanted to stand up for her, refused to be humble, was stunned, and didn't react to return the letter to Liu Wei immediately.
Wang Liu, who was on the side, saw that Liu Nu was in a daze, reached out and took the letter, strode in front of Liu Bian, and handed it to Liu Bian with both hands.
After receiving the letter from Wang Liu's hand, Liu Wei didn't look at the content of the letter again, tore the letter to shreds twice, and said to Wang Liu: "Sue sΓΉ Deng Zhan, within a month, this king will see the head of the humble person on the table of this king!" β
"No!" Liu Wei asked Wang Liu to order Deng Zhan, the meaning was already very clear, the dragoon guards would go to the Hetao, and they would be killed in secret, Wang Liu answered, and retreated.
"Cao Cao won the battle of Shouchun, Cao's army was heavily fortified in Xudu, and the dragoon guards went to Xudu, and Cao Cao's head could not be taken!" The corners of his mouth pulled up a cold smile, and Liu Wei said to Liu Nu: "Pity that humble person, but at this time, I came to beat the scales of this king!" Ju Ji lived in Luoyang until he was tired of living, and it was not too late to leave! β
Liu Wei tore up the letter, which was really unexpected by Liu Nu.
When she saw the letter, she thought that Liu Wei was unwilling to conflict with Qubei and wanted to send her back to the Xiongnu, but she didn't expect that Liu Wei would issue a killing order to the dragoon guards for her.
"Your Highness!" Liu Nu was still stunned, and Guan Qing on the side had already whispered to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is going to kill and humble, you must have a reason!" β
"From the head?" Turning his head to look at Guan Qing, Liu Wei always said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Just one person is humble, and he rebels against this king, this reason is enough to kill him ten thousand times!" What else do you have to do? β
"After all, Juji is a Huns!" Guan Qing lowered his head, clasped his fists with both hands, and said softly to Liu Wei: "It is reasonable to go and ask Juci to return to the Huns, if Your Highness does not find a suitable reason, I am afraid that people in the world will have a complaint!" β
