Just as Cao Cao said, the most suitable negotiators in Dangyang City are none other than Liu Ye and Yang Xiu in front of them. One of them is a child of the clan, and the other is the son of the former Taiwei Yang Biao, both of whom are first-class talents in terms of origin and talent. But for Liu Ye and Yang Xiu, the task sent by Cao Cao was a rather tricky chore. Regardless of the fact that the weak party was full of humiliation and helplessness when talking about the alliance under the city, just from Cao Cao's consistent temperament and his attitude at the moment, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu could judge that Cao Cao just wanted to use the Son of Heaven as bait to bargain with Liu Bei to delay time.

Unable to give Liu Bei a substantial promise, and to delay the progress of Liu Bei's siege to the greatest extent, this requires the negotiator to have both the wisdom of improvisation and the ability to endure humiliation. However, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu both believed that their talents were enough to cope with this difficult challenge, and the survival of everyone in the city was at stake, so they responded to Cao Cao's dispatch in unison without saying a word.

Two days later, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu took a small boat sent by Liu Bei to cross the long Hongze and came to the camp on the other side. But at this time, the two of them who greeted him in front of the gate were neither Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and other Liu Yingwenchen, nor Guan Yu, Chen Zhi and other generals. I saw a low-colored school officer with a team of freshly dressed and brightly armored warriors, arching his hand towards Liu Ye and Yang Xiu with an extremely arrogant attitude, "Are you the envoy of Cao Ying?" ”

For Liu Bei's arrangement, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu had already prepared. I saw that the two of them responded with a posture that was neither humble nor arrogant, "Exactly." ”

The school officer looked Liu Ye and Yang Xiu up and down with contemptuous eyes, and then spat on the ground. Snorted coldly, "Oh, come with me!" ”

If it was in the past, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu would not allow such martial artists to make trouble in front of them. It is an extraordinary season when the momentum is stronger than others. No matter how high the two of them are, Rao is Liu and Yang have no choice but to put on a deaf posture at this time, and follow the school officer into Liu Beijun's camp.

Along the way, I saw that the entire camp was arranged in an orderly manner, and the soldiers along the way were all neatly dressed and full of morale, and even the hunting flags fluttering at the head of the pole exuded a fierce atmosphere. In the face of such a posture, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu glanced at each other in unison, and at this moment, both sides saw surprise and worry in each other's eyes. You must know that a large part of Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops besieging the city came from the local Haoqiang troops of Nanjun and Liu Biao's old troops. Some of them were even under the banner of Cao Jun a month or two ago. Being able to collect so many soldiers and horses for his own use in just ten months, Liu Bei's charm. This wrist is really impressive, and it is worthy of the name of the hero. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the soldiers and horses in front of you are only the elite that Liu Bei deliberately showed to the envoys of Cao Ying, which at least proves that Liu Bei himself is good at managing the army. Cao Jun's previous losses were not unjust.

In this way, with a sense of awe for Liu Bei, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu walked into the tent of the Chinese army. But to the deep surprise of the two of them, the position of the coach who should have been sitting on the opposite side was empty, and instead there were two men dressed as scribes. Among them, the middle-aged scribe who is graceful and elegant is a Zhonglang under Liu Bei's account. Mi Zhu, the former richest man in Xuzhou. And the young man sitting next to Mi Zhu was Zhuge Liang.

Although Liu Ye and Yang Xiu didn't expect to be able to negotiate a charter with Liu Bei on the first day. But he never imagined that Liu Bei would not even look at them. Seeing that the other party clearly wanted to put the two of them aside to dry for a while, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu felt aggrieved in their hearts, but they still had to force down their unhappiness, and jointly stepped forward to report to their homes, "Liu Ye, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Xiu, came to your camp to negotiate peace on the order of Prime Minister Cao." ”

The people who heard were Liu Ye and Yang Xiu. After Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang quickly exchanged glances, they immediately got up together with a smile like a spring breeze to greet each other. "I have heard of the two great names for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet today. In the next engaged in Zhonglang Mi Zhu, this is the military division Zhuge Kongming, we are ordered by General Zuo to discuss with the two of them the matter of the Son of Heaven going south. ”

Liu Ye and Yang Xiu insisted that the purpose of coming to Liu Ying was to "negotiate peace", while Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang bluntly said that "Fengtianzi will go south", and the two sides have been wrestling since the beginning of their meeting. However, compared with the rude leading school officer just now, Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang in front of them were at least important ministers around Liu Bei, and their attitudes were quite polite, so Liu Ye and Yang Xiu did not continue to argue over whether to "negotiate peace" or "go south with the Son of Heaven".

After the guests and hosts on both sides sat down, Yang Xiu, who has always been sharp-tongued, took the lead in sending a complaint to Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng was ordered to attack Wu, and you will not send troops to help you and counterattack the king's master, you can be convicted!" ”

In the face of Yang Xiu's accusation of taking the lead and reversing black and white, Zhuge Liang raised his hand to the sky and said sternly, "General Zuo is edicted to beg for thieves, what is the crime?" ”

Yang Xiu knew that Zhuge Liang was talking about the edict, but he smiled sly and asked, "Where is the holy decree?" Can I borrow a meditation? ”

How could Zhuge Liang fall into Yang Xiu's set, he saw him wave his feather fan and said loudly, "Everyone in the world knows that the Cao family and his son are perverse, and the Son of Heaven orders the princes of the world to be the king of Qin with an edict of clothes." After Lang Jun is a famous family, how can he sit in the well and watch the sky and ignore the trend of the world? ”

With Yang Xiu's intelligence, how could he not hear Zhuge Liang's last sentence was a pun, openly piercing him for pretending to be stupid, and secretly ridiculing him for being from a famous family but short-sighted as a thief. Yang Xiu, who was already fond of competitiveness, had ever suffered such humiliation, and his white cheeks instantly turned red under his anger, and he couldn't wait to immediately take the case and teach the village man in front of him a good lesson.

However, before Yang Xiu, who was blushing in anger, made a difficulty, he listened to Liu Ye say in a timely manner, "Zhuge Junshi's words are wrong, since Emperor Huan Emperor Lingdi, the yellow turban is rampant, the world is strife, the society is in danger, and the living beings are in urgent need of hanging upside down. If it weren't for Prime Minister Cao Cheng to sweep away Liuhe and enter the Son of Heaven, I don't know how many people in the world are called emperors and how many people are kings. How could the Son of Heaven issue an edict to punish Cao? The so-called edict is actually a fake edict prepared by Liu Biao! ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Ye meaningfully, and then smiled coldly: "Yu Danger was born in the clan, and when he comes here today, he will have a high opinion." But I don't want to use such vulgar words. In the past, when Emperor Huan was Emperor Ling. The Han dynasty declined, and the eunuchs caused trouble; The country is in turmoil, and the Quartet is disturbed. After the Yellow Turban. Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others rose one after another, kidnapped the Han Emperor, and brutalized the living beings. Therefore, above the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat Lu! so that the wolf-hearted dog walks. In the turbulent dynasty, the servants and servants have been in power. As a result, the community was turned into a mound and ruins. The common people have suffered a lot. Now the Cao father and son imprisoned the Son of Heaven and killed the concubine, brutal and unkind, people and gods are angry, and you are a Hanchen. It should be Kuang Jun to assist the country. An Hanxing Liu! Why do you help the rebels and bring disaster to the world! ”

If Zhuge Liang's rebuttal to Yang Xiu just now was just a slap in the face, then his words at this moment have risen to a personal attack nakedly. Rao is Liu Ye and Yang Xiu cultivated no matter how good, they couldn't help but stand up at this moment, pointed at the tip of Zhuge Liang's nose with trembling fingers and said urgently, "Ru...... Thou ......"

Mi Zhu, who had not spoken on the side, saw that Zhuge Liang had completely angered the envoys of Cao Ying, and hurriedly got up to block the muddy road between the two, "The gentlemen are tired of boats and cars. It is inevitable that the fire will attack the heart, so it is better to rest first. We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Liu Ye and Yang Xiu were reminded by Mi Zhu like this, and only then did they remember that they were still in the enemy camp at the moment, and they were really going to make a fuss, and in the end, they would only be the two of them who couldn't eat. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so Liu Ye and Yang Xiu had to suppress the anger surging in their hearts, and Mi Zhu sent them out of the tent.

After Mi Zhu settled Liu Ye and Yang Xiu, he turned back and complained to Zhuge Liang, who was still in the tent, "Why did Kong Ming humiliate Cao Envoy like this. If Liu Ye and Yang Xiu just walked away, what would it be? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan disapprovingly, "Mr. Zizhong, rest assured, it is expected that these two will continue to negotiate peace with us tomorrow." ”

"Why did Kong Ming say this?" Mi Zhu asked noncommittally, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart, you have damaged people like that, how can you continue to stay here and be humiliated by you with the temper of Liu Ye and Yang Xiu's son-in-law.

Seeing that Mi Zhu didn't believe his words, Zhuge Liang put away the feather fan and explained to his positive color, "Mr. Zizhong doesn't know something, Cao Cao has always been cunning. He sent Liu Ye and Yang Xiu as envoys, he must have wanted to take advantage of the two people's tongues to delay time, so that when the flood receded, Cao Ren came to help! ”

Mi Zhu listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and his expression suddenly changed. It must be known that Cao Ren, who was also in Nanjun, was restricted by the flood, so he was unable to enter Dangyang to rescue Cao Cao. If the flood recedes, then Cao Ren will definitely bring reinforcements to join forces with Cao Cao in Dangyang City to attack Liu Bei. The more he thought about it, the more frightened Mi Zhu couldn't help but murmur again and again, "This... How good is that! ”

Zhuge Liang had seen through Cao Cao's intentions early on, so he had advised Liu Bei not to meet with Cao Cao's envoys for the time being, and sent an unruly school official to greet Liu Ye and Yang Xiu. In his impression, these two people were born in famous families, and they became famous at a young age, so they must be arrogant. But he didn't want Liu Ye and Yang Xiuyuan to be much more tolerant than Zhuge Liang imagined. So, Zhuge Liang went into battle in person, and used his proud eloquence to frustrate the other party's spirit, and successfully angered Liu Ye and Yang Xiu. However, for Zhuge Liang, this was only the first step in forcing Cao Cao to comply. Now Cao Cao thought that his treacherous plan had succeeded, and the Cao army was also looking forward to some progress in the peace talks, so now was the best time to launch an attack.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang immediately said proudly, "Mr. Zizhong, don't worry, Liu and Yang have been frustrated, and after General Yunchang takes Dangyang City, let's see how Cao Thief will sit firmly in Diaoyutai!" ”

At this time, Liu Ye and Yang Xiu didn't know that the young military advisor who had refuted them speechless just now was planning to launch an attack on the Cao army in Dangyang City during the peace talks. Sitting in the military tent prepared by Mi Zhu for the two of them, seeing that there was no one around, Yang Xiu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but scold, "Zhuge Village is so arrogant!" ”

Although Liu Ye's face was not much better than Yang Xiu's, he was afraid that he would not scold Zhuge Liang with Yang Xiu, but sighed faintly and said, "Disciple of Lumen, it really deserves its reputation." ”

After Yang Xiu vented the anger in his chest, he also regained his composure, and saw him pour a cup of tea, and then dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote a column of words on the table, "How to talk?" ”

Liu Ye glanced at the words on the case, and also dipped the tea and wrote, "Son of heaven." ”

Looking at the word "Son of Heaven" on the desk, Yang Xiu's face showed a smile that knew it. Obviously, in the confrontation just now, he and Liu Ye had deeply felt Liu Bei's desire for the Son of Heaven. It is no wonder that Liu Bei is neither backed by a huge family like Cao Cao, nor like Sun Ce, who has run Hedong for many years and has a certain foundation. Liu Bei has always wandered around like a rootless Ping, lacking the support of the family clan. And once you succeed in welcoming the Son of Heaven, then all problems will be solved. Liu Bei can not only become a veritable imperial uncle, but many families loyal to the Han family will also turn to support him. In addition, the flood that ravaged Dangyang County will always recede one day, so the time left for Liu Bei to siege the city is actually not enough. If he couldn't break through Dangyang City in a short period of time, then taking advantage of the current favorable situation to force Cao Cao to cede the Son of Heaven was Liu Bei's best choice. Therefore, the dismount in front of the gate and Zhuge Liang's words and swords just now were all expressions of Liu Bei's faction eager to seize the Son of Heaven in the eyes of Yang Xiu and Liu Ye.

From the perspective of Liu Ye and Yang Xiu, the more anxious Liu Bei is, the more beneficial it will be to them. As long as you have such a bait as the Son of Heaven, you are not afraid that Liu Bei and Junchen will not give in. What's more, it's not just Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang who can sing red faces and white faces, at this moment, seeing Yang Xiumeng's case, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "What about the children of Lumen!" But the country man! ”

Liu Ye followed Yang Xiu's words and hurriedly persuaded him, "Dezu Xiu wants to talk nonsense." Lumen Pang Degong is a famous place in the world, and his disciples are the most famous in the phoenix and the dragon. The phoenix chick, Pang Shiyuan, is a close minister of the Marquis of Qi, and he is already in the position of another driver before he reaches the weak crown. The one who sleeps on the dragon, Zhuge Kongming, is the Zhuge military advisor. ”

Liu Ye's words were not deliberately touting Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. In fact, when Pang Tong was in his early twenties, he became a driver in Youzhou, which was already a sensation in the world. Now Zhuge Liang has become Liu Bei's mastermind at the age of a weak crown, and trapped Cao Cao in Dangyang City with the plan of flooding Dangyang. At present, the theory of the phoenix chick and the dragon has long been spread throughout the Central Plains, and even Xiangyang Lumen, who was born with the two of them, has become a famous school in the world.

But as soon as he thought of Pang Tong's ugly appearance and Zhuge Liang's sharp words, Yang Xiu immediately sneered, "Pang Tong's child, his face is ugly, and it is unsightly. Zhuge Villager, sharp teeth, bitter and mean. Lumen is crazy, I don't know how to converge, and there will be a day of disaster! (To be continued......)
