It is normal for Cao Cao to be so angry, Xiahou Juan is like a flower in Xiahou's family and Cao's family. There was once a Xiangshi who saw Xia Houjuan's face and said bluntly that it was unspeakably expensive. In this era, it is very capable of being able to read people's faces, at least people in this era eat such a set. The big families all stared at Xiahoujuan tightly, waiting for when Xiahoujuan would be able to get married. Until the age when Xiahou Juan could leave the cabinet, how many matchmakers stepped through the door of Xiahou's house. Cao Cao is also very interested in this niece of the younger generation and wants to choose the best husband for her. Unexpectedly, the flowers that the Cao family and the Xiahou family had intimately protected were actually taken away by Zhang Fei and the pot.

Xiahou Yuan knew where Cao Cao's anger was, so he said, "Lord, it's too late to save Juan'er now." I'm afraid the rice has already been cooked. ”

Cao Cao was silent, what Xiahou Yuan said was very reasonable, in this era, from the daughters of the emperor's family to the women of the common people, they are all worthless existences. In Cao Cao's own opinion, I'm afraid that Zhang Fei has already dealt with Xiahoujuan at this time.

"It's not over!" Cao Cao could only spill his anger on the table in front of him, and almost broke up the table.

Xiahou Yuan knew that Cao Cao had acquiesced in this matter, and it was not the same thing to break out and hide it in his heart.

Cao Cao can only do this here, otherwise what would it be. is really as Cao Cao said, waving the army to Runan, the first consideration is whether he can come up with enough grain and grass to support the army. There is so much grain and grass left for Cao Cao, and if there is no other source of grain and grass, I am afraid that Cao Cao will have a very difficult life. Secondly, Liu Yu will not spit out what he has eaten in his mouth, and will definitely send heavy troops to garrison in Runan, and Cao Cao will have to pay a painful price if he wants to defeat him.

Cao Cao could only watch.

Runan's situation also reached Liu Yu's face.

Liu Yu also looked like a ghost. Nima's, Zhang Fei is so bold, and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses took Runan City, if Cao Cao made a small mistake there, I'm afraid this loss is very serious. Fortunately, with the blessing of the sky, Runan City was taken very smoothly. But the next development was beyond Liu Yu's expectations, Zhang Fei actually took the only soldiers and horses directly into Yuzhou to destroy everywhere, making a mess of Cao Cao's territory, burning a large number of granaries, fields and water conservancy facilities, and properly rectifying Cao Cao. Cao Cao's reaction was also fast, and he sent an army to encircle and suppress it, but unfortunately Zhang Fei's skills were superior and he returned to Runan City very safely. Sima Yi and others also told them all about how they defeated Cao Ren and then went to Runan, and at the same time asked Liu Yu to send additional troops to Runan to stabilize Runan City and prevent Cao Cao's possible counterattack.

For this, Liu Yu was sure, and immediately gave orders to Nanyang and Yingchuan to allocate troops to garrison Runan. The significance of Runan is very significant, and taking this place is to reduce the border between Liu Yu and Cao Cao a lot, and Liu Yu needs to arrange a lot less defense, and the troop dispatch is more flexible.

But Liu Yu is still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Fei, this guy actually has such a lot of courage to attack Yuzhou, so why not bring more troops, so as to take this opportunity to increase Cao Cao's losses a little, then it will be much easier for Liu Yu to deal with Cao Cao.

Liu Yu didn't push the responsibility on Zhang Fei in the end, after all, he only gave Zhang Fei so many troops, and he really couldn't blame Zhang Fei.

The most important thing is that Sima Yi and others even mentioned that Zhang Fei found a daughter-in-law. Liu Yu was really a little depressed. Is this Zhang Fei the daughter-in-law who was robbed?

It's just that Zhang Fei also sent Liu Yu a report, which told Liu Yu about Xiahoujuan and himself very honestly, hoping that Liu Yu and Guan Yu could call the shots for him.

Liu Yu was stunned at first, and then laughed directly.

"Haha, yes, yes! Yide did a good job this time. "Liu Yu smiled happily." Someone, call Yun Chang over! ”

Guan Yu was originally training soldiers, but when he heard Liu Yu looking for him, he immediately put down the work at hand and came forward.

"The last general will meet His Majesty, I don't know what instructions His Majesty has for calling the last general?" Guan Yu said respectfully.

Liu Yu gave Zhang Fei's recital to Guan Yu and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, Yide's good deeds are near." You can't ignore your brother. ”

Guan Yu read Zhang Fei's report, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his head, Zhang Fei actually wanted to take Cao Cao's niece! This Cao Cao and Liu Yu are hostile, and Zhang Fei is pushing himself up the fire pit by doing this. Coupled with Liu Yu's grinning appearance now, he may be angry and laughing. No one wants their courtiers to show any disloyalty to themselves, Zhang Fei is too reckless.

Guan Yu hurriedly knelt down for Liu Yu and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Yide must have been bewitched, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

Liu Yu immediately realized why Guan Yu was like this, helped Guan Yu up, and said softly: "Yun Chang, what are you doing?" Yide has this good fate, and it's too late for me to be happy. I know what's on your mind, and it's out of the way. ”

Guan Yu was a little confused, he really couldn't understand Liu Yu's thoughts.

Liu Yu said honestly: "Maybe you don't know a little. I and Meng De are hostile though. But that's the result of the world's rivalry. I have the same idea as Meng De, that is, to revitalize the Han family. But my approach and Mengde's approach are different, and their choices are also different. I and Meng De have a good relationship in private. It is a great thing that Yide can marry Mengde's niece. I have approved this marriage. ”

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Well, it says in the Yide Sutra that I want you to be the master for him, so I will decree a marriage and announce it to the world. Yun Chang, it is rare for such a thing to happen, I decided to return to Xiangyang and hold a marriage for Zhang Fei in Xiangyang. What do you think? Liu Yu said.

It is inevitable that Liu Yu will have such thoughts. First of all, after Jiangxia was taken, Sun Ce in Jiangdong was already like a frightened bird, defending against Liu Yu's possible attacks every day and night, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity to attack Jiangxia. It is very dangerous for Liu Yu to stay in Jiangxia all the time. At the same time, there are also constant reports from Xiangyang, hoping that Liu Yu can return to Xiangyang as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. Zhuge Liang and the others were deeply worried about Liu Yu's safety. Liu Yu didn't have anything to do in Jiangxia, and when he happened to encounter something like Zhang Fei, he simply returned to Xiangyang.

"The last general will thank His Majesty for his grace." Guan Yu was quite moved, the Son of Heaven gave him marriage, what a great kindness this is, Zhang Fei can have such treatment, he will definitely follow Liu Yu with all his heart.

"By the way, Cao Cao and I are friends of the same generation, and Yide is now married to Cao Cao's niece, that is, he has become Cao Cao's niece and son-in-law, and Yide is my junior. Why should you call me in the future? Liu Yu said jokingly.

Guan Yu was a little embarrassed, Liu Yu would actually joke about this matter, it was really surprising.

After making a decision, Liu Yu wrote a holy decree without saying a word, ordering it to be announced to the world. Liu Yu has another meaning, that is, disgusting Liu Bei. Everyone in the world knew that Zhang Fei had arrived on Liu Yu's side, and Liu Bei's situation was embarrassing. The three brothers in Taoyuan, now that the two have arrived at Liu Yu, Liu Bei is left with a single seedling, and the princes of the world will look at Liu Bei with strange eyes.

Liu Yu felt happy when he thought about it.

With the order of Liu Yu to return to Xiangyang, the entire Jiangxia was in motion. Among them, Tian Feng, an old boy, was excited, because he was the one who wanted Liu Yu to return to Xiangyang the most in Jiangxia. Tian Feng even more hoped that Liu Yu would return to Luoyang directly, and not always think about the matter of the imperial conquest. But this can only exist in Tian Feng's mind, and Liu Yu seems to be impossible to agree to this matter.

Liu Yu is going to return to Xiangyang, but Jiangxia cannot be garrisoned without a general, this is a very important place, quite strategically significant. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yu ordered Zhang Liao to be the chief general of Jiangxia, promoted to Jiangxia Taishou, and led 20,000 troops to garrison Jiangxia and defend this place.

Zhang Liao happily accepted the order.

Dian Wei and Lu Bu heard that they were going to hold a wedding for Zhang Fei after returning to Xiangyang. These two big bosses are suspicious that Zhang Fei will have a daughter-in-law as soon as he goes on the expedition, and he must have snatched it back. They also wanted to see what the daughter-in-law that Zhang Fei snatched back looked like. At the same time, Dian Wei and Lu Bu both decided to get Zhang Fei drunk, so that Zhang Fei couldn't even climb into bed.

Guan Yu saw Dian Wei and Lu Bu's eyes to know what they were thinking in their hearts, for the sake of his brother, Guan Yu had to plan in advance, lest Zhang Fei fall into Dian Wei and Lu Bu's calculations.

Liu Yu gave Sima Yi an order at the same time, and only Liu Yu and Sima Yi knew what it was.

Liu Yu took his subordinates and the army on the journey back to Xiangyang.

Liu Yu knew that the chances of being able to go out in person next time might be very slim.

A few days later, Liu Yu returned to Xiangyang, and all the civil and military officials and people in Xiangyang went out of the city to welcome Liu Yu's victory.

Liu Yu kept waving his arms to the civil and military officials and the common people, causing bursts of cheers.

Zhuge Liang and the others all looked smiling, and they couldn't see anything else at all.

Well, after Liu Yu settled down, Zhuge Liang and the others showed their true colors.

"Your Majesty, when I heard that Your Majesty personally attacked Jiangxia with soldiers and horses, I was frightened. Your Majesty, if something happens to you, how will the ministers explain to your ancestors and ancestors? "Frustrated on the spot, he was in trouble, and he was violently accountable.

Chen Gong was even more sad, and said: "The ministers are guilty, and they actually let Your Majesty put themselves in danger. The Lord is worried about the death of the minister. The ministers deserve death, please give your majesty a piece of white silk. ”

Chen Gong is advancing by retreating.

Pang Tong said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the ministers also know your thoughts, but Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, if something happens, how will the ministers explain to the queen and the prince." Your Majesty, how can you be so careless. Fortunately, with the blessing of the heavens and the lives of the three armies, His Majesty can return safely. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister begs Your Majesty not to do such a thing in the future that will shake the foundation of the world, once Your Majesty has any mistakes, the minister will die." Chen Gong continued to cry.

Only Zhuge Liang was silent, as if he had nothing to say.

Liu Yu's cold sweat fell, and these sub-strategists actually adopted crowd tactics to force me to give them an explanation.

Fu Zhu was really angry, and the report he sent back from Tian Feng at that time said that Liu Yu personally attacked Jiang Xia, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time. It's not that he looks down on Liu Yu's ability, but that Liu Yu is not what he used to be, how important his identity is, once something that he doesn't dare to say happens, the society will be shaken, and even chaotic, and the current good situation will be ruined.

Chen Gong saw that Liu Yu didn't speak, and even more determined that Liu Yu was empty-hearted, so he transferred his anger to Tian Feng, and said: "Yuan Hao, how did we tell you before, let you protect Your Majesty and give advice to Your Majesty, and that's how you contribute to Your Majesty?" ”

"What the public station said is right, it is incompetent!" Tian Feng was a little ashamed, Liu Yu was scheming to deceive him, but he had to carry this black cauldron.

Liu Yu really didn't want to listen to so many words anymore, and hurriedly said: "Okay, it's me, you shouldn't say anything else." I promise that I won't come back in the future. ”

Everyone looked at Liu Yu, and their eyes showed deep doubt about Liu Yu's words.

Liu Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and this feeling of being suspected was very uncomfortable. In fact, when Liu Yu said this, he didn't care much in his heart.

Zhuge Liang, who didn't speak, stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, the ministers naturally believe it." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I am a word!" ”

"It's just that the matter of this southern expedition has reached a stalemate, and now the palace is waiting for His Majesty's return every moment, according to the minister's humble opinion, Your Majesty might as well return to Luoyang first. The affairs of the south will be dealt with by the ministers. What does Your Majesty think? Zhuge Liang said his arrangement in a crepe manner.

"Kong Ming's words are very good! Your Majesty, please think again! He agreed on the spot.

"The ministers seconded it!" The other advisors unanimously agreed.

Liu Yu won't return to Luoyang so easily, and now when he goes back to Luoyang, there is nothing to do at all, so he said: "Let's discuss this." I'm in Xiangyang now! After conquering Jiangdong, it is not too late for me to return to Luoyang. ”

Zhuge Liang and the others knew that Liu Yu would not agree, they just wanted to force Liu Yu to promise not to mess around again.

Seeing that a few strategists did not fight again, Liu Yu secretly screamed that it was dangerous, and immediately changed the topic and said: "I have already issued an order to marry Zhang Yide." Kong Ming, I'll leave this matter to you. Others are also here to help. It's all gone, I'm tired and need to rest. ”

Zhuge Liang and others took the order and left.

Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The ability of these people to force the palace is too strong, and the soft and hard ones are coming." I still have to improve this ability to deal with it in the future. ”

It is true that Liu Yu did not take what he just said to heart at all, and he had no intention of fulfilling this promise.
