Chapter 225: Teasing
When the four words of the jade seal of the country popped out of Cao Xing's mouth, it can be said that all the people present were shocked, even Che Wu and Chen Hu, who were standing behind Cao Xing, were dumbfounded, in their opinion, the jade seal of the country was a treasure that they had found with great difficulty, but Cao Xing said it so easily, it was not that Cao Xuan really wanted to succumb to Yuan Shao.
And Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, was also in a trance at the moment, until a strategist next to him coughed twice, and Yuan Shao's whole body woke up like a dream.
He didn't know why Cao Xuan confided in the matter of the heirloom jade seal so easily, but he figured out one thing, Cao Xing really had the heirloom jade seal on his body, this kind of treasure symbolizing the Son of Heaven was placed in front of him, maybe he was only a little bit away from this legendary treasure, thinking of this, Yuan Shao's heart began to become hot.
Yuan Shao tried his best to make his appearance look plain, he cleared his throat, and then asked Cao Xuan again: "Cao Xing, you just said that the jade seal of the country is in your hands, this matter is serious!" ”
Cao Xuan spread his hands and said: "That's true, Lord of the Alliance, I entered the palace and met an assassin by chance, who was defeated by my subordinates, and finally handed over the jade seal of the country to me!" ”
Yuan Shao's expression began to become more and more solemn, only to hear him say to Cao Xing: "Cao Xing, do you know that this heirloom jade seal is a special seal for His Majesty, symbolizing the Son of Heaven and symbolizing imperial power, although today the Son was caught by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, but we can't let the heirloom jade seal be buried, we also have to keep it well, so that it can be returned to the Son of Heaven in the future......
Cao Xing quietly listened to Yuan Shao talk about such a big truth there, and finally waited for Yuan Shao to finish speaking, Cao Xing also knew that he should continue to perform, so Cao Xing also nodded deeply and said to Yuan Shao.
"Lord of the Alliance, I do think so, but how can I Cao Xing be born in poverty, rise in Qianmo, and have no reputation, if this heirloom jade seal is placed here for me, I am uneasy, so I have been thinking for the past two days, I should hand over the heirloom jade seal to a famous person, so that it can be said that the name is justified!"
Yuan Shao's heart was already happy at the moment, he didn't expect that this Cao Xing could be so obedient today, and he usually went against him, which seemed a little out of place, but the matter had come to this, Yuan Shao's heart was surging, and he couldn't think about it so much, because no matter what, every word Cao Xing said was exactly in line with his mind.
Yuan Shao glanced at the old man next to him, those old men were all high-ranking and powerful people, they saw Yuan Shao's eyes, and immediately understood what Yuan Shao meant, so one of the old men stood up and said like Cao Xing.
"Cao Xing, it is rare for you to understand the righteousness so well, we want to ask you now, who are you going to hand over this heirloom jade seal to!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits came, because the show began.
Cao Xuan glanced at Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, and found that although Yuan Shao's expression was calm at the moment, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Cao Xing laughed twice, then arched his hand to Yuan Shao and said: "After the alliance leader is the fourth and third duke, the reputation of the entire court and the opposition is very loud, so who should keep this heirloom jade seal, this matter is naturally obvious!" ”
Cao Xuan actually offered to give the jade seal to Yuan Shu, as soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, of course, many people have different expressions on their faces, today they are here to make a testimony for Yuan Shao, never expected that Cao Xuan would be so honest, he said the jade seal, and also expressed his willingness to hand it over to Yuan Shao, which made many people puzzled.
Everyone knows that Cao Xing has been against Yuan Shao for a long time, and the two have always been at odds, but Cao Xing's performance today is very abnormal, but Yuan Shao can't take care of it so much. In his opinion, Cao Xing's this is undoubtedly a manifestation of surrender to him, and it is a smart approach, anyway, Cao Xing is willing to take the initiative to hand over the jade seal to him, which is a good thing. Yuan Shao was a little proud, and glanced at Cao Xing, as if he was expressing Cao Xing, Cao Xing's performance today made him very satisfied.
Yuan Shao glanced at everyone, then looked at Cao Xing with his smiling eyes, nodded and said, "Cao Xing, now you also know that I was born in the fourth world and the third duke, I don't deny this!" But if you ask me to accept this heirloom jade seal, it's a bit exaggerated, it's the emperor's thing, how can I move it easily! ”
As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, everyone's expressions were naturally different, and some people thought that this Yuan Shao was too hypocritical. When Yuan Shao said this, he also deliberately emphasized that he was the third prince, which was clearly showing off.
As a result, later, he showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, saying that it was the emperor's thing, and he, as a courtier, resolutely could not take it.
However, some people quickly understood what Yuan Shao meant, and as soon as Yuan Shao's words were finished, the two strategists he sat down immediately stood up and said.
"The lord is like today's dust, Dong thief is arrogant, looking at the world, the person who can hold this jade seal, you are the only one who comes, and please excuse everything!"
"Yes, the lord should obey the will of heaven, just like you ascended to the position of the leader of the alliance, and now I also ask you not to shirk, to save the people of the world as your own responsibility, and please accept the jade seal of the country!"
……
As soon as the words of these two people came out, more people stood up and agreed, and Yuan Shao frowned after listening to these people's words, and after a long ideological struggle, he finally shook his head resolutely, saying that it must not take this thing, but when he said this, he still looked at Cao Xing.
Cao Xing understood what Yuan Shao meant, so Cao Xing said again: "This heirloom jade seal needs a famous person to hold it, just ask who else is more famous than the alliance leader!" ”
"Alas, Cao Xing, what you said is a bit exaggerated, there are so many heroes in the world, how dare I Yuan Shao take great credit, although I Yuan Shao, dedicated to the public, want to kill the national thief and then quickly, but how can God not allow it, and now let Dong Zhuo's guy run away, the Son of Heaven is not here, I dare not take his things, you better find someone else!"
Before Cao Xing could speak, Yuan Shao's subordinates stood up again and expressed their opinions one after another.
"Lord, this is wrong, there are the most heroes in the world, but the most famous and famous is none other than you, please don't shirk!"
"Lord, if the Son of Heaven is controlled by Dong Zhuo's guy today, even if we can't return to the Son of Heaven immediately, we should keep the things of the Son of Heaven well, so that it is in line with the nature of being a courtier!"
……
When everyone finished their words again, I saw that this time Yuan Shao's brows were furrowed more deeply and he thought more, he thought about it for half an hour, and finally shook his head very painfully, saying that he must not do this, and at the same time he looked at Cao Xing again.
At this moment, many people in the big tent in the army also knew that the time was about to come, and many people looked at Cao Xing. Yuan Shao also frowned, but in fact, he looked at Cao Xing with joy in his heart, he never expected that Cao Xing, this guy, would finally be sensible and finally send him a great mile.
This time Cao Xing laughed twice, he looked at Yuan Shao's eyes flashed a fierce color, Yuan Shao's nerves jumped suddenly when he saw this, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but Cao Xuan didn't give him a chance to speak, and said directly.
"Since accepting such a thing as the jade seal of the country has made the alliance leader so painful, then I don't think there is any need to embarrass the alliance leader anymore, find another person and say goodbye!"
As soon as Cao Xing's words came out, Yuan Shao was like five thunderbolts, and everyone felt that there seemed to be an earth-shattering noise in their ears. This era is an era of fame. Yuan Shao's words just now, everyone could also hear it, it was clearly prevarication, and it was clearly pretending, just like when the princes of the Nineteenth Road were crusading against Dong Zhuo.
Although the person who initiated the fight against Dong Weiwen was Cao Cao, when Yuan Shao arrived, Cao Cao thought that he could not lead everyone, so he wanted to push out the position of alliance leader to Yuan Shao.
As a result, Yuan Shao's performance was that he said resolutely not to do it at first, Cao Cao said that he still said that he would not do it, Cao Cao persuaded him again, and finally under Cao Cao's repeated suggestions, Yuan Shao was moved by Cao Cao's sincerity, and finally reluctantly accepted the errand and became the leader of the alliance.
At this moment, Yuan Shao's heart was a little confused, and he didn't figure out what was going on.
In Yuan Shao's opinion, Cao Xing should clearly suggest again, let him take this heirloom jade seal into his pocket, and then he will reluctantly agree, in this way, he not only earns enough reputation, but also can take such a treasure into his arms, why not do such a good thing, but Cao Xing, this guy, is forced to destroy him.
When Cao Xing finished saying this, he directly arched his hand to everyone impatiently, and then left, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, at this moment the root of his teeth itched, he wanted to slap the table and shout Cao Xing, so that Cao Xing would stop.
Even he wanted to wave his hand and let the guards around him rush up and directly tear Cao Xing's guy to pieces.
It's just that in the end, Yuan Shao still resisted this impulse, not because he was soft-hearted and didn't want to kill Cao Xing, but because he couldn't find a reason to kill Cao Xing.
He clearly said it so clearly just now, and repeatedly postponed it, but Cao Xing also followed his words, so it was reasonable, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. So there is nothing wrong with Cao Xing going here.
It's just that Cao Xing's nonsense and mess around made Yuan Shao feel that he was not handsome in his heart, but Yuan Shao couldn't help it.
In the end, Cao Xing walked out of the military tent step by step in the surprised eyes of everyone, and no one stopped or spoke in the process, because they were the same as Yuan Shao, and they couldn't come up with a reason at all.
It wasn't until Cao Xing completely disappeared that Yuan Shao was so angry that he slapped the table, directly overturned the table, and then left without looking back. As for his subordinates, when they saw this scene, they were even more speechless.
Some people are wondering if Cao Xing is stupid, and he didn't understand what Yuan Shao meant, but some people think that Cao Xing definitely understood Yuan Shao's meaning, and he did it for only one purpose, that is, to play Yuan Shao, that's all.
Thinking about Cao Xing's previous grievances with Yuan Shao, some people immediately suddenly realized, and the corners of their mouths were upturned with an imperceptible smile, so Cao Xing's move did play Yuan Shao's tricks, but there is no doubt that Cao Xing, he is definitely offended Yuan Shao now, Yuan Shao didn't get the jade seal he wanted, and was also played by Cao Xing, and then it must be Yuan Shao's thunderous anger, everyone felt that it wouldn't be long before there was another good show to watch, and even Cao Xing didn't want to get out of Luoyang.
As everyone expected, after Yuan Shao returned to his military tent, he was angry in his heart, he directly threw the bowl and kicked the table, he didn't expect this Cao Xing to be so faceless, didn't he Yuan Shao just want a little prestige, but Cao Xing didn't give it to him, which made him furious, and at this moment a flame was already burning in his chest.
"Cao Xing, if you don't give me face, you don't want to live!" Yuan Shao's eyes were bloodshot, and he saw him shouting, and Yan Liangwen outside the door immediately hugged his fists and took his life.
"Yan Liangwen Chou, I now order the two of you to each lead 10,000 elite soldiers to ambush me outside the city, as long as that guy Cao Xuan drives out of the city, kill me immediately!"
Yan Liangwen was shocked when he heard this, Yan Liang glanced at Yuan Shao with a little weakness, and then said: "Lord, the lord is most afraid that something is wrong, 20,000 horses are already our limit, if we transfer all the soldiers and horses, of course, we can kill Cao Xing, but who can guarantee your safety!" ”
"Go! If you are told to go, you will go! Yuan Shao roared angrily, and his face was completely distorted at this moment.
I saw him say with a hideous face: "Cao Xing, that bastard, in front of so many people today, don't give me face, that's okay, I'm going to let him see it today, the price of deceiving me Yuan Shao, you don't have to worry about my safety, I have my own guards to protect me, no one dares to touch me here, you just go out and fetch Cao Xing's head for me!" ”
As soon as they heard this, Yan Liang and Wen Chou glanced at each other, and both of them saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, Yuan Shao can be said to have made a bloody investment this time, and even disregarded his own safety, and he wanted to kill Cao Xing, it seems that Cao Xing is in a catastrophe this time.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou finally received the order and quickly led the soldiers and horses to deploy.
After another day, news suddenly came from outside that Sun Jian and Cao Xing went to pursue Dong Zhuo, but they were ambushed and killed by Li Ru and returned defeated. This news was undoubtedly another heavy blow to the princes of the Nineteenth Road, and at the same time, the defeat also led to the rapid collapse of the princes of the Nineteenth Road.
