Chapter 307: Meet the Son of Heaven
"You really don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster," as soon as he saw Liu Ping in front of Sikong Mansion, Cao Ang immediately clipped his hand and said with a straight face.
This move made the potters and Cao Bao behind Liu Ping very nervous.
Didn't I hear that Prince Ping and the eldest prince of Cao Ang had a good relationship, why did they ask the eldest prince as soon as they met, is the rumor wrong?
"Are you envious of me?" Liu Pingyin replied calmly, looking at Cao Ang in a daze.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
Cao Ang walked up to Liu Ping, hammered Liu Ping on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You guy is happy outside, and I have been worried about you for a long time."
As a result, you didn't have any, and you even made such a big contribution. ”
Previously, Cao Ang received news that Liu Ping's plan to rebel in Xuzhou had failed, so his father sent an order for Liu Ping to hurry back to Xudu to assist him in guarding the capital.
At the same time, Cao Ren was also asked to abandon Yanzhou and enter Pengcheng to prevent Liu Bei's sneak attack.
For this reason, Cao Ang specially sent someone to send the news that Lu Qi's mother was critically ill to urge Liu Ping to come back quickly.
After all, the generals of the Danyang Army persuaded by Liu Ping had all been arrested by Mi Zhu, and it was pointless for Liu Ping to stay there.
As a result, not long after Cao Ang's messenger was dispatched, he received a message from Liu Ping from Xuzhou, and Liu Ping had successfully taken Xuzhou......
Cao Ang almost dropped his jaw when he heard the news.
There are only thirteen states in the world, how difficult is it to take one state, and how many people died in Yanzhou in the first place? How many people died in Yuzhou later?
Although no one has counted it exactly, everyone knows that it was piled up with tens of thousands of Cao Jun's lives and a sea of corpses and blood.
But Liu Ping only used six people to take Xuzhou, and he didn't use a single soldier of the Cao family at all.
It's too rebellious to think about.
Of course, the soldiers under Cao Ren's command were also used.
But everyone can see that when Cao Ren arrived in Xuzhou, the overall situation in Xuzhou had been decided, and Cao Ren made it clear that he was going to pick up credit, and it was Liu Ping who really played a decisive role.
"Tell me, I'm worried about you, I can't sleep all day and night, how many jars of wine can compensate me?" Cao Ang continued to laugh.
Seeing that the two were just joking, the potter and Cao Bao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, listening to Cao Ang's tone, the relationship between the two was indeed unusual.
"Big brother, my father-in-law handed over all the defense of this Xu Capital to you, and you have such a heavy burden on you, how can you still drink?
I don't have a jar here," Liu Ping waved his hand and flatly refused.
"You're just stingy," Cao Ang said angrily: "When you're not there, I will naturally inspect the city defenses and straighten out the troops and horses every day like walking on thin ice."
But now that you're back, and you've left all these things to me to do, the burden on me will naturally be lighter.
I drink some wine, and if you don't say it, how many people know? ”
In fact, Cao Ang himself doesn't think that now he has formed a dependence on Liu Ping, with such a capable brother, everything is thought of for him, isn't this a great thing in life?
"Big brother, what you said, you are the future master of the Cao family, and you will inherit the foundation of the Cao family in the future, what a good opportunity to experience and handle government affairs?" Liu Pingdao.
"Government affairs? Won't you handle government affairs for me in the future? Cao Ang crossed his waist and said confidently.
"What the eldest brother said makes so much sense!"
Liu Ping almost had a weak leg, and dared to love himself for all his hard work to help produce a giant baby.
If Liu Ping really wants to usurp power, it is just right for the lord to neglect his government, but the key is that Cao Ang is an upright and cute goods, how can Liu Ping bear to usurp his power?
Since you don't want to usurp power, isn't it in vain to be burdened and unflattering?
……
After letting the potter and Cao Bao meet Cao Ang, Liu Ping led the two to the imperial study to meet the Son of Heaven, and it happened that Kong Rong and other ministers were also there.
These ministers also just heard that Liu Ping drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou in disgrace, and they were naturally very happy to hear it.
After all, in the original spy incident, Liu Bei framed this and framed that, and they were miserable.
Now that Liu Ping has killed him, he has made Liu Bei panic like a lost dog, and he can't even take care of his wife and children, which can be regarded as avenging everyone.
"Liu Bei, who deceived the world and stole his name, is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality on weekdays, but in fact, he is full of conspiracy and trickery, and he really deserves to end up like this."
"This Liu Xuande is so scheming, and it is fortunate that he can surrender when he meets someone with extraordinary wisdom like Liu Gong."
"Liu Gongyun and Wen Yunwu are really the talents of my Han Dynasty."
A group of people puffed out their cheeks and blew nonsense, and even Liu Ping blushed a little when he heard it.
Ignoring their praise, Liu Ping stepped forward and said: "The ancients said that 'the Tao is more helpful than the unjust', and Liu Bei's ability to have today is all due to his misconduct.
And the minister's smooth implementation in Xuzhou is the way of the imperial court, and the two righteous men of the pottery merchant Cao Bao are 'helped'.
Therefore, the minister suggested that the pottery merchant be appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou, and Cao Bao should be named the general of Zhaowu. ”
"Played by Zhun Qing!" Liu Xie did not hesitate, although he was gradually dissatisfied with the Cao clan at this time, the Cao clan was still the only force he could rely on.
"Minister, thank you for your kindness!"
The potter and Cao Bao bowed down at the same time to thank him.
Although the potter was a wish, Cao Bao did not expect that Liu Ping would invite credit for himself in front of the Son of Heaven, although General Zhaowu was just a miscellaneous general, but from the Son of Heaven himself, it represented a great honor.
After the two withdrew, the ministers began to discuss the matter of Xuzhou again.
The most exciting thing in this is Kong Rong.
He came over and saluted Liu Ping, then stroked his beard and sighed: "I have always had an old friendship with that Liu Xuande, and I once respected him quite a person, who knows that the thief is duplicitous, and he is inconsistent, and he deliberately framed Kong, which is really chilling to think about."
This time, Liu Gongneng made a righteous move, in addition to this harm, it can also be regarded as a big revenge for Kong, and Kong has thanked him here. ”
At this time, Hua Xin said beside him: "Liu Gong avenges Kong Shaofu and us, it is for personal gain.
And pacifying the land of Xuzhou and bringing millions of people in more than 40 counties into the jurisdiction of the imperial court is for the public.
Liu Gong's actions are naturally indispensable.
However, as the saying goes, 'one hero has three gangs', Liu Gong went south this time, in addition to the help of the pottery merchant Cao Bao, there must be people who helped, and he might as well ask for credit for him before the Son of Heaven drove. ”
Hua Xin is a person who is good at judging the situation and sizing up the situation, and Liu Ping previously informed Cao Ren to lead the army to Xuzhou, which was obviously intended to give Cao Ren a share of credit.
But Liu Ping took the initiative to say it before the Son of Heaven drove, and the purpose was too obvious, so Hua Xin helped to mention it without a trace, so that Liu Ping could justifiably ask for credit for the people around him.
"I don't know who else has made meritorious contributions to Xuzhou this time, and they will be reported together." Liu Xie asked.
"Your Majesty, if you say this first achievement, the minister thinks it is Kong Shaofu," Liu Ping replied with a smile.
