Zhongkang, Yuan Rang, Gongming, Zilian!

When he heard these four names, Liu Xie's head was big, because these four were too famous.

Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang!

Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuanrang!

Xu Huang, Xu Gongming! There are also Cao Hong, Cao Zilian.

What is he going to do?

What are you going to do by calling these four murderous guys in?

In an instant, Liu Xie didn't feel a cold sweat oozing out of his head, don't look at him in the court before, he was also surging, but at that time, most of the people he faced were civil officials like Gao Rou, in contrast, although Cao Pi's brothers were not easy to mess with, but after all, they were the same age as themselves, and they were considered peers, so they naturally had a lot less fear.

But these four are different, although Cao Hong is also young, he has been following Cao Cao for many years, and he has fought many times in the south and north than Cao Pi.

Just when Liu Xie was deeply nervous and returned to his position with the wooden box, the door of the Changxin Hall opened, and he saw four big men in armor walking in from outside the door, according to the appearance recorded in the book, Liu Xie could identify who was who.

The four of them entered the hall, and the one-eyed Xiahoudun was the first to step forward, glanced at him with a sneer, and then turned to Cao Cao: "Lord Sikong!" ”

"Alas, Yuan Rang, you quickly greet Your Majesty, after so many years of fighting abroad, why don't you remember the etiquette of the imperial court?"

it!

Liu Xie understood that Cao Cao was a pun, seemingly reprimanding Xiahoudun, but in fact, he was telling himself on the side that these people in front of him were not abiding by the court etiquette!

swallowed his saliva, and then saw that the four of them didn't mean to greet him, so they hurriedly spoke first and avoided their vulgar etiquette: "Alas, Lord Sikong, no need, no need!" The four generals were tired from fighting, and the common rites were exempted, and they were exempted. ”

"Oh?"

A smile flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "In this way, the ministers will thank Your Majesty for them, Your Majesty is right, these people are all hard work, and they have neglected the etiquette of the court in the army all the year round, and it is understandable that they are all soldiers after all." ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao sneered and lifted the topic, then smiled lightly, and looked at the wooden box on the table: "Your Majesty, the double-sided embroidery you said is here?" ”

"Yes." Liu Xie responded, hurriedly opened the box, and the old man on the side took out the embroidery pieces inside and arranged them one by one.

"Lord Sikong, look, this is the double-sided embroidery that His Majesty saw from the ancient books, you see how exquisite this is." After Fu Wan, he pinched a unicorn and sent it to Cao Cao, and then under his gaze, he flipped the embroidery piece, and the unicorn vacated picture on it also became Padmasambhava at any time.

"Good! Wonderful! ”

When Cao Cao saw it, he couldn't help clapping his hands: "This is really a strange thing, it looks like a picture scroll, but in turn it is another one that is empty, okay, great, Your Majesty, this embroidery piece was recently figured out?" ”

"yes." Liu Xie hurriedly replied: "This is all something I have accidentally seen from a book recently, and I have studied it for a while before I figured it out, thinking that it was for the lords of the imperial court, and now that the four sides are fighting, sending some auspicious picture scrolls is also for a good meaning." ”

Liu Xie didn't dare to say that this thing was all in the book, what if this old guy wanted to ask for the book himself? So he could only play a trick and say that he had thought about it himself.

"That's a good point."

Cao Cao admired those embroidery pieces one by one, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, staring at those embroidery pieces, and squeezed out such a sentence for a long time: "Your Majesty, you, the minister said something that should not be said, you have to study this thing as soon as possible, the front-line battlefield is much more convenient, use this thing to transmit information, if you don't understand the mystery of the people, killed, you can't find it, you don't have to waste so many scouts and school affairs!" ”

Sky!

Hearing this, Liu Xie held his breath directly in his heart, could it be that Boss Cao knew that he used embroidery pieces to convey secret words? And at this moment, he also noticed that the four generals also opened their momentum in an instant, especially Xu Chu, who was slightly athletic, staring at him with a pair of tiger eyes, shimmering.

No!

Wrong!

In an instant, Liu Xie reacted, all this in front of him was Boss Cao testing himself, if he really knew the secret of the embroidery, according to his decisive character, he wouldn't say much at all, even if he didn't kill himself, at least he would become a dead corpse now.

So he's tempting!

yes, that's it, I'm a genius!

Thinking of all this, Liu Xie was obviously a lot more relaxed, and the expression on his face became more natural: "Lord Sikong, I really didn't expect this, besides, these things also need time to study, if you like it, I can give you all those embroidery girls, if I can really help Lord Sikong fight, it can be regarded as my days have not been in vain." ”

"Oh."

Cao Cao nodded, his eyes were much kinder: "Your Majesty, the minister is also a saying, although this thing is good, but if it is used to transmit information, there are too many secret words that need to be unified, and I don't know how long it will take to embroider this thing, just a temporary idea, the embroidery girl still stays in the palace to accompany Your Majesty, but this embroidery piece is really rare, Your Majesty might as well let them make more, and the ministers can keep it for rewarding the ministers." ”

"Okay, if Lord Sikong has something to say, I will know what to do."

Secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Liu Xie was glad, it seemed that he had crossed the hurdle in front of him.

Cao Cao didn't say anything more, but in an instant, a layer of frost suddenly appeared on his face that was still full of smiles, and his voice became much more indifferent.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been said, let's talk about serious matters, the reason why the minister came back early this time is all because of the matter of the Kushan Mission, I really can't imagine that they dare to despise my big man so much, what does Your Majesty think about this matter?"

Sure enough, after Cao Cao came back, he must have started to deal with the matter of Guishuang, looking at him like this, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with the Guishan country, does he want to fight?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie secretly calculated in his heart, according to the time node, from this time on, Cao Cao did have a quiet period of more than a year, and then there was a red cliff war that shocked the ages.

But history didn't say that there was still a battle between Han and Gui, could it be that because of this incident, he wanted to provoke a war?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie didn't speak, in terms of war, he is not very familiar with it at the moment, so he has to hand it over to a professional to be responsible.

And Cao Cao didn't think about it for too long, about a few dozen seconds later, he turned to Cao Hong: "Zilian, you go and invite Xun Lingjun here, just say that I, Cao Mengde, will return ahead of schedule and invite him to Changxin Hall to discuss state affairs with Your Majesty." ”

"No."

Cao Hong bowed and turned his head away, and it was also at this time that Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie with a sneer, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were cold: "Your Majesty, Guishuang's trip has insulted my prestige, and this matter must be explained to them, and ...... Uncle Fu Dian and Cao Zhang, all those who revitalize our country that day are rewarded, and when they recently conquered Guishan, they were ordered to lead the army and generalize the military! ”

There really is going to be a war!

Although Liu Xie was somewhat aware of Cao Cao's thoughts, he was still a little excited in his heart when he heard him say this sentence in person, after all, it was the first time that Liu Xie had seen it when he decided to go to war between the two countries.

Could it be that this is the majesty of Lord Cao?

Or is it that the prestige of the Han Dynasty over the years has been preserved by Cao Cao's actions?
