Chapter 464: Choosing Cao Zhen
After returning to the city, Xu Tian immediately held a grand banquet.
This time, there are not only generals and generals in the army.
Even some famous merchants and celebrities in the city came to participate.
The banquet lasted for a whole day and a night, and it was not until the next night that it was completely over.
During this period, Xu Tian personally accompanied everyone.
Just like ordinary brothers and friends, they drink and eat meat.
For the sake of a word, you can also fight for red-faced.
After this banquet, Xu Tian's reputation in Chang'an has risen again!
On the evening of the second day after the banquet, Xu Tian gathered everyone together again and held a military meeting.
"King Qiqi, there is one thing, I have to ask the king how to deal with it!"
At the beginning of the meeting, Pang Tong took the lead in standing up.
"Shi Yuan has something to say directly, there is no need to be so polite!"
Xu Tian smiled slightly and said very casually.
In Xu Tian's view, the meeting should be like this, be casual, and you can say whatever you want.
That's how everyone can play their part.
"It's about Xiahou Nan and Cao's problem, they are now all locked up in prison by us, and how to deal with them has to ask the king to send them down!"
Wei Yan no longer hesitated, and said with his fists clenched.
Knowing that Wei Yan mentioned it, Xu Tiancai remembered that Xiahou Nan still had two brothers and a wife in prison.
But this is indeed a troublesome matter, whether it is killed or released, it does not seem to be appropriate.
"This matter, just leave it to Zidan (Cao Zhen, Zidan) to deal with!
After all, they are all members of the Cao family, so I don't even ask how to deal with them! ”
Xu Tian hesitated for a moment, deciding that it would be more appropriate to do so.
"The last general obeys!" Cao Zhen didn't think about it, so he directly clenched his fists and agreed to the matter.
Xu Tian's approach is obvious, he is giving Cao Zhen face, and of course he has to stand up at this time.
"Okay, now that this matter is over, let's talk about business!"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xu Tian coughed lightly and looked at everyone and said.
"Now that Cao Wei's matter can basically come to an end, Sima Yi's withdrawal has proved one point.
In the short term, there will be no conflict between us and Cao Wei.
They're all on their own hands right now, so we're going to have to think about something else at some point! ”
Hearing this, everyone present all showed puzzled looks, they didn't know what else Xu Tian was referring to.
"What the king said refers to the affairs of Jiangdong!" Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said hesitantly.
"That's right! Now there is something to tell you, Sun Quan is now leading an army to attack Jingzhou.
Xiakou and Chaisang have already been taken by them, and according to my inference, within half a month, they will launch an attack on Jingzhou! ”
The lobby fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked shocked.
They didn't get any news about this beforehand.
Now they are suddenly told that the rear is being attacked, and the shock to them can be imagined.
"Although the last general doesn't know the specific situation, the last general knows that the matter must still be under the control of the king now!"
Cao Zhen patted his chest very confidently and said.
After this incident, Cao Zhen discovered something.
Anything happened as if it was expected by Xu Tian.
His own defeat, Cao Shuang's rescue, including Sima Yi's withdrawal.
He had expected everything completely, and now he could say it so calmly.
That at least means that things are still under control.
Pang Tong smiled secretly and sighed that this Cao really deserved to be an old fox.
The timing of the sycophants is so good, and they are not revealed.
"General Cao is basically right, Xia Kou and Chaisang were deliberately given to Sun Quan.
The purpose is to delay their pace and wait until the matter in Chang'an is completely resolved! ”
As soon as Xu Tian's words fell, Yu Ban suddenly got up and asked.
"What does the king mean that we are going back?"
Not only him, but many generals present were so excited.
They have been in Chang'an for a long time, and now they have won the battle and received a reward.
Who wouldn't want to go home and share this joy with their family?
"Yes, we are about to return to Xiangyang, everyone is knocking on the door, we can't be silent!"
"Then let's leave, this Chang'an...."
Pang Tong asked what everyone wanted to know, who would guard Chang'an, this question was the most important.
"This is the main reason why I summoned everyone here today, I want everyone to discuss, who is the most suitable person to guard this Chang'an?" Xu Tian said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, the lobby fell silent again.
This time it was quiet, much longer than ever.
Being able to guard here is not only a big official position and a beautiful errand, but it also means who is the most trusted in Xu Tian's heart.
This is the closest place to the Wei State, and at the same time it is a place where danger and temptation coexist.
Everyone present thought that they would be able to stay here and enjoy the countless benefits.
Therefore, since Xu Tian opened his mouth to ask this question, no one took the initiative to speak.
At this time, whoever comes to be this up-and-coming bird is really stupid.
"Since everyone thinks it's hard to talk about this matter, then I'll talk about it myself!"
After waiting for a long time, Xu Tian saw that everyone still didn't mean to speak, so he spoke leisurely.
"The matter of guarding Chang'an, leave it to Cao Zhen and his son..."
As soon as Xu Tian's words fell, there was an uproar in the lobby.
Everyone never thought that Xu Tian would think of handing over Chang'an to Cao Zhen and his son.
"King, this must not be!"
Before others stood up to object, Cao Zhen himself directly refused.
He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could be better than everyone present.
It's just that this time, whether it is Cao Zhen or others, they have guessed Xu Tian's intentions wrong.
From the very beginning, Xu Tian had already thought about the outcome of this matter.
"This matter is so decided, General Cao is familiar with everything here, and he can better guard Chang'an.
And even if Cao Pi sends someone here again, with General Cao here, I can rest assured! ”
Xu Tian slowly came to Cao Zhen's side, patted him on the shoulder and said seriously.
"Zidan, don't be ashamed of yourself because of your identity, you are my general.
You have the ability and the right to defend this place, and you have to prove to everyone with your actions that my vision will not be wrong! ”
When Xu Tian said this, he did not lower his voice, but let everyone hear it clearly.
No one said anything more, and no one objected.
Cao Zhen trembled with excitement, he = never dreamed that Xu Tian would treat him like this.
"Even if the last general is crushed, he can't repay the king!"
Cao Zhen knelt directly in front of Xu Tian in front of everyone....
