Chapter 590 Yanzhou Jiangdong to Quanling
Cao Ren was in a particularly unhappy mood, because when he led his troops to Quanling, he knew that Liu Bei had already run away. Although he has to say "admiration" for Liu Bei's ability to escape, but now the Liangzhou army doesn't seem to have arrived at this Quanling, but you Liu Xuande are running too fast.
Originally, after Cao Ren led the troops into Lingling, he held his breath. After all, Liu Bei didn't have anything to say, although he also said that the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army might come later, but it was true that he didn't tell the guards of the counties in Lingling how to entertain Cao Ren and them. Therefore, after Cao Ren and Guo Huai entered Lingling with the Yanzhou army, although the generals of the Han army did not treat them as enemies, they really did not treat them as friends.
After all, everyone in the Han army knows that their lord and Cao Cao, even if they are allies now, can be said to be enemies. Now that there is Ma Chao, there is no way, it's just a temporary union. In the future, if Ma Chao finishes his work here, then he will have to fight with the Yanzhou army-
And the most important thing is not only that his lord and Cao Mengde have a good holiday, but also because his lord is a relative of the Han family and the uncle of the Han Emperor, and Cao Mengde, who is he, he is such a Cao thief who stole the Han family.
I have to admit that Liu Bei is doing a good job in his own propaganda work, so that most of his soldiers think this is the case.
As a result, without the clear orders of their own lord, Cao Ren and them were despised by the Han army from generals to soldiers. And Cao Ren served as the commander of the Yanzhou army. He couldn't say anything yet, that would be too dishonorable. Speaking of which, he is here on behalf of his lord. It should be a personal conversation with Liu Xuande, but in a few counties. But he was despised by their people, what is this?
But Cao Ren also knew that he was not good at attacking, so in the end, he could only leave with Guo Huai in a hurry and go straight to Quanling. I thought it was very good, yes, when I saw Liu Bei, I wanted to talk to him well, there were still a few generals under him. It's so unreasonable, it's really unpleasant.
But what Cao Ren thought about was still not realized after all, because when he arrived at Quanling, he finally knew that Liu Bei had left Lingling early and went to Jiangling. And Cao Ren has no way to deal with this, he can't go to Jiangling directly.
Although it is in Quanling. Cao Ren and Guo Huai, including that Niu Jin, were now received in a friendly manner by everyone led by Xu Shu, and they also had a big feast. Give them the wind. But Cao Ren is still unhappy, and it is not Xu Shu and them who are unhappy with him, after all, this face is mutual. Xu Shu, they can give Cao Ren and the three of them face like this. Of course, it is impossible for them not to give face to everyone. But for Liu Bei's escape, Cao Ren was deeply disdainful.
But in front of Xu Shu's people. What else can Cao Ren say, can he say what he might say. In front of other people's men. Isn't it the master of the family? Isn't that kidding, Cao Ren still wants to stay in Quanling for the time being, then Xu Shu is definitely not easy to match. Cao Ren still has this eyesight, and he hasn't heard of Xu Shu's reputation before, especially Xu Shu is a native of Yingchuan, even if he was in Yingchuan back then, he was not a nameless, Cao Ren has heard of it more or less-
"Come, I respect General Cao, General Guo and General Niu!"
Under the hospitality of Xu Shu and everyone, Cao Ren really lost his temper, mainly because he had to endure it. And he can calculate all three of them, and people still do it first as respect. Therefore, Cao Ren couldn't say anything, so he had to say without smiling: "Okay! I did it too! ”
At the same time, Guo Huai and Niu Jin are also the same as Cao Ren. Speaking of which, the two of them are not unclear, this Xu Shu's status in Liu Bei is much stronger than the status of the two of them in his lord's place. Don't look at your own father-in-law, you can also use the two of you, but after all, there are still some differences.
Then there is a meal that is enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, of course, on the surface. How can you say that it is impossible for Cao Ren and the three of them not to give Xu Shu face, after all, they are so enthusiastic, and you can't find anything if you are enthusiastic. So Cao Ren had something he wanted to say, but he didn't say it, because he couldn't-
But after the banquet was withdrawn, Cao Ren was taken down by the soldiers to rest, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was not much less. Don't look at Xu Shu and the others giving him face like that, but speaking of Liu Bei's big ears, he didn't give him any face.
Cao Ren's mind doesn't need to say more, anyway, he is more dissatisfied, but he can't show much in front of Xu Shu and them. Therefore, he can only hold it in his heart, but what is different from him is the combination of Lu Su and Zhang Liao, they naturally also went from Wuling, took a detour to Lingling, and after Cao Ren, they also arrived in Quanling.
But the treatment of the Jiangdong Army is not comparable to the Yanzhou Army. At least the officers and men of the Han army did not treat the Jiangdong army with hostility and contempt. On the contrary, they were warmly entertained, so just rushing like this is not comparable to the Yanzhou army led by Cao Ren.
At least the soldiers of the Han army know very well that their lord and Cao Mengde are great enemies, and they will never die, but with Sun Bofu of Jiangdong and Jiangdong Army, it seems that there is really no big holiday. On the contrary, the two armies are allies, and the relationship is okay, not bad, at least not comparable to the Yanzhou army-
Therefore, Lu Su and Zhang Liao also passed through a few counties with people, but the soldiers of the Han army entertained them well. At least they are reinforcements, coming to their aid, so they are not only warm, but also respectful. This made Lu Su or Zhang Liao, including the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army, very happy in their hearts. After all, who doesn't want others to pay attention to it, and there are a few hopes that people are hostile, despised, and despised.
So Lu Su and Zhang Liao, of course, were very satisfied with the hospitality along the way. And from their point of view, after all, they can be regarded as helping you Liu Xuande's soldiers, so you can treat your own people well, it is indeed true, not excessive.
However, they didn't know what happened to Cao Ren before, otherwise, Lu Su and Zhang Liao would definitely think that they were lucky, and Cao Ren and them would naturally be unlucky.
Who let Cao Ren and them be from the Yanzhou Army, but Lu Su and them are not. If you want to blame, it can only be said that it is a problem with your own ingredients, and this Cao Ren also understands -
However, he didn't know Lu Su's treatment of them, otherwise he would definitely shout, which was too unfair.
But even if he knew, what else could he do, he wouldn't change anything at all. And Lu Su and Zhang Liao were treated like this, passed through two counties, and finally arrived at Quanling.
Xu Shu and the others already knew that Lu Su was coming, so they were treated the same as Cao Ren, and he personally led everyone out of the city to greet them. At least that's how it was when Cao Ren and the others came. What kind of person is Xu Shu, how can he be like those generals who defend the city, to favor one over the other.
Speaking of which, as a top strategist, he knows best what it means to have no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Yes, the festival between my side and the Yanzhou Army is very deep, even more than the Liangzhou Army, and the relationship with the Jiangdong Army is good, at least there are not so many festivals.
But in the final analysis, they are needed now, and therefore it is indeed not good to offend them.
So of course, it is impossible for Xu Shu to offend Cao Ren, and it is impossible for Cao Ren to find any reason. In that case, I would be ashamed of my lord to let me stay in Quanling.
As for today's Jiangdong Army, that's not to mention. However, it was not only Xu Shu who came with everyone, but also Cao Ren, who followed Xu Shu to greet Lu Su and Zhang Liao.
He didn't do anything else with this, just to meet Lu Suqi. Zhang Liao can be regarded as an old opponent, needless to say, I don't know how many years and how many times I have dealt with him. But this Lu Su, Cao Ren and the others had never seen it before, so they were a little curious, so together with Xu Shu, they could be regarded as going to greet them.
After meeting each other, Lu Su saw that Xu Shu was such a big battle, and he didn't know what was going on. As a result, he was the first to speak first, and he hurriedly said: "Jiangdong Army Lu Su, I've seen you!" ”
After all, not everyone he knew, and there were only two who could be named, so Lu Su didn't say much.
Zhang Liao also spoke, but he didn't claim to be from Jiangdong Army, he just said: "Yanmen Zhang Liao, I've seen you!" (To be continued......)
