Liu Bei bowed down and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, Liu Bei understands what Pei Xiang and Yuanlong mean, Liu Bei will repair a book, hoping to persuade Cao Cao to quit and the two families to quit!" ”

I saw that the servant took pen and ink for Liu Bei, Liu Bei picked up the pen and wrote on the letter.

Everyone is hopeful about this, but Mi Zhu is worried, he also knows that the Cao army's expedition to Xuzhou to Yanzhou has been empty for a long time, and it is bound to be full of problems, but until now, Yanzhou still persevered, the reason is that the town in Yanzhou is the famous Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, the man known as "Wang Zuozhicai", in charge of Yanzhou for Cao Cao, not only supplied hundreds of thousands of Cao troops for several months, huge money and food expenses, but also maintained Yanzhou is not chaotic, not to lose the title of "Wang Zuozhicai", if it is him, or anyone here, it is impossible for Yanzhou to survive a month without accidents.

Mi Zhu knew that behind this unknown, it was Xun Yu who did his best, used all his life's learning and means, including the influence of their Xun family, and by appeasing and uniting the power of the local scholars, calming the people's grievances, and balancing external forces, etc., it was barely possible to make Yanzhou's support not change at this time.

It can be said that Xun Yu is the hero behind the hard work, without him, no matter how strong Cao Jun is, he will not be able to support it for long, and this man, known as "Wang Zuozhicai", until now, still has not shown signs of exhaustion, Mi Zhu can't guess where his limit is? If he can really support the Cao army to capture Xuzhou City, then they will really be finished.

Mi Zhu didn't dare to express his worries, because he knew that the Chen father and son were domineering and strong, if he raised objections, he would inevitably argue with them, and from past experience, he himself had not won the Chen father and son once, especially today they had just argued once, Mi Zhu didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of this matter, and affect the harmony, especially now that Cao Jun is close to Xuzhou City, if he is not united, it will be dangerous.

Seeing Mi Zhu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Deng naturally knew that he had something to say, but he didn't want to give this competitor a chance to perform, since he hesitated, Chen Deng didn't say anything.

It didn't take long for Liu Bei to write the letter, and he respectfully handed it over

Give Tao Qian and let him look at it.

After Tao Qian read the letter, he nodded again and again, and said with a happy smile: "Xuande Gong is not only a hero, but also has such an outstanding writing style, he is really an all-round talent in civil and military affairs!" ”

Liu Bei bowed down and said: "Tao Qiangong has a good reputation, Liu Bei is shallow in learning, and his writing is vulgar, which makes Tao Qiangong smile." ”

Tao Qian said: "Xuande Gong is too modest, in my opinion, Xuande Gong is deeply hidden, and he is a peerless master." ”

Originally, Tao Qian was just a casual joke, but the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Liu Bei's face changed slightly, and the beads of sweat on his head almost flowed down.

Chen Qi's eyes were like torches, and of course this slight change could not escape his eyes.

Chen Qi said with a smile: "The big hidden in the city, Xuande Gongzhen does not show his face, do you want to wait for a chance to turn into a dragon?" ”

Chen Qi is half true and half joking, so that Liu Bei is like a thorn in his back, restless, he has been a moody person since he was a child, all his thoughts are hidden tightly in his heart, even his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't detect his true thoughts at all, and it is precisely because Liu Bei hides deep enough that he can always stand in front of the world as a humble gentleman, and Chen Qi broke through the thoughts in Liu Bei's heart, which made him feel panicked and worried that his heart would be snooped on.

Chen Deng saw Liu Bei's embarrassed face and knew that he was a little embarrassed, so he stepped forward and said, "My father likes to laugh, don't mind Xuan Degong." ”

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly and said, "Chen Peixiang is really funny and humorous. ”

Tao Qian also smiled: "Yes, I have known Han Yu for many years, he just likes to joke with people, Xuande, you have known him for a long time, and you will get used to it." ”

Chen Qi said: "It's already fortunate that the lord doesn't dislike me, how dare you ask Xuande Gong to put up with my long-winded old man?" ”

Everyone was amused by Chen Qi's witty and quippy words, but they could see that under this laughter, there were insincere and perfunctory lies from everyone, although they were harmonious on the surface, but in private they had their own hearts and calculations.

After Liu Bei had written the letter, the messenger took the letter out of the city and headed for Cao's camp.

And here, Cao Cao was discussing things with everyone when a soldier walked in and reported to Cao Cao

Said: "Lord Qiqi, there is a person who claims to be a messenger of Xuzhou City, and he brings a letter to the lord. ”

Cao Cao said, "Bring him in." ”

The soldier gave him a "yes" and brought in the messenger who was waiting outside the door.

After the messenger came in, he saluted Cao Cao, and then said: "The villain has seen Cao Gong, and my lord has a letter to Cao Gong, and he also asks Cao Gong to look at it." ”

As he spoke, the messenger took out the letter hidden in his arms and respectfully handed it to Cao Cao.

Xiahoudun walked over, took the letter from the messenger, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao unfolded the letter and read it, the letter was written by Liu Bei to Cao Cao, and the content was to hope that Cao Cao could stop the army and make peace.

After Cao Cao read the letter, he gave Guo Jia a look, it seemed that they had already guessed that someone would write a letter to ask for peace, but the play still had to be performed, otherwise how could they deceive the people in Xuzhou City?

I saw Cao Cao's face change suddenly, threw the letter on the ground, and then said loudly: "Who does Liu Bei think he is?" Dare to persuade me? Look at me breaking Xuzhou City, even he will be killed! ”

At this time, Xiahoudun asked, "Then what about this person?" ”

Xiahoudun said, pointing to the Xuzhou messenger who sent the letter.

Cao Cao glanced at it coldly, then waved his sleeves and said nothing.

Xiahoudun understood and said, "Come on, withdraw this person and behead him!" ”

When the messenger saw Cao Cao's anger, he already felt bad, and when he heard that he was going to be beheaded, he was so frightened that his legs weakened and he collapsed to the ground.

"Cao Gong spares my life, I'm just a ...... who delivers letters"

The messenger lay on the ground and begged Cao Cao for mercy, but Cao Cao ignored him and did not even look at him.

The tiger army outside the camp heard the order and walked in, only to see two strong tiger army guards, one left and one right, setting up the messenger of Xuzhou City, as simple as grabbing a child.

The messenger was carried into the air by the Tiger Army's guards, and he knew that he would not escape death, and all thoughts were lost.

As a messenger, the most feared thing is to send a letter to a prince who is cruel by nature, and if one of them is unhappy, the person who sent the letter is likely to be in a different place.
