A month later,

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jiangdong."

Wang Bodang came to the imperial study and found Liu Wei,

"Jiangdong, could it be that Cao Cao has something wrong?" Liu Wei asked curiously,

"I won't hide the news from Longwei, this is the news from Cao Cao, or this is a letter from Cao Cao to His Majesty." Wang Bodang replied.

"Cao Cao wrote a letter to me, it's a bit interesting!" A smile appeared on Liu Wei's face.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Wang Bodang handed over the letterhead, but Liu Wei did not answer.

"After you read it, tell me about it, and I won't read it." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"Yes!"

After a while, Wang Bodang finished reading the letter and said truthfully to Liu Wei, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao means that I hope Your Majesty will release Xu Chu." ”

"Did he say what conditions he was willing to pay?" Liu Wei asked,

"Nope!"

Wang Bodang shook his head.

"I didn't propose a price, either he Cao Cao was whimsical, but Cao Cao is not a whimsical person, it seems that he wants me to put forward conditions, and then come to talk!" Liu Wei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty has a point!" Wang Bodang said approvingly.

"Go find a piece of paper!" Liu Wei instructed Wang Bodang.

"No!"

Soon after, Wang Bodang came over with a piece of stationery, but when he came, he found Liu Wei grinding ink.

"Your Majesty, just do this kind of thing." Wang Bodang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed it.

"Almost, the pen, ink and paper are here, I say, you can write!" Liu Wei instructed Wang Bodang.

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Wang Bodang to be ready.

"I heard that the Cao family has several daughters, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and I have been waiting in the boudoir, I heard that the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the three daughters of the Cao family have all reached the age of marriage, and I am willing to choose a good son-in-law for them."

Speaking of which, Liu Biao didn't say anything anymore, Liu Biao said this paragraph slowly, naturally because he was afraid that Uncle Wang would be too late.

"Is it written?"

After a while, Liu Wei saw that Wang Bodang had stopped writing, and then asked.

"It's already written!" Wang Bodang took two steps back, and then replied.

"When the ink is dry, put it in an envelope and send it to Koto." Liu Wei said softly.

"No!"

Wang Bodang nodded,

"Your Majesty, the minister is a little puzzled?"

"What's the problem?"

"Could it be that His Majesty plans to let Cao Cao exchange his three daughters for Xu Chu?" Wang Bodang asked.

"What do you think is wrong?" Liu Wei asked with a smile.

"In the eyes of the minister, Your Majesty is by no means a lecherous and mediocre emperor, and there are no longer a few stunning in Your Majesty's harem, every lady can be better than Cao Cao's daughter, and if Your Majesty really has Cao Cao's three daughters, wouldn't it be inferior to Cao Cao." As he spoke, Wang Bodang's voice lowered by two points.

"Haha, do you really think I have a crush on Cao Cao's daughter?"

Liu Wei burst out laughing.

"It's the minister's vain speculation!" Wang Bodang hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"I naturally won't be so cheap Cao Cao, for Cao Cao, three daughters are not important to him, compared to a general, it is far behind, and it is the same for me, his three daughters are not as good as Xu Chu." Liu Wei said with a smile,

"Then what is Your Majesty's plan?" Wang Bodang asked tentatively.

"Cao Cao's three daughters are only the first condition, if he Cao Cao is reluctant to send his three daughters over, then there is no need to continue to negotiate conditions with me." Liu Wei replied.

"Will Cao Cao agree?" Wang Bodang hesitated.

"Of course it will, Cao Cao doesn't say that he is cold by nature, but he is by no means a person who values love, he has so many women, not to mention three daughters, that is, one or two sons, as long as the interests are enough, he is willing to give up." Liu Wei said with a smile.

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, now that Cao Cao is weak, if he is defeated one day, his daughter will become a captive, become a slave, and live in humiliation, and sending it over now can at least guarantee that whether he is defeated or defeated, his daughter can live well, and it will not hurt him to send his daughter over at all." ”

Just as Cao Cao knew Liu Bian, Liu Biao also understood Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are too late!"

"I remember that your eldest son is eighteen too, right?" Liu Wei asked.

"Yes!"

"Is there a marriage match?" Liu Wei continued to ask,

"He has been studying with several adults, and it seems that he has no intention of marrying a wife for the time being, and the minister has no time to deal with it. Wang Bodang replied.

"Bring it to me one day, if I am satisfied, I can get him a marriage, or directly choose one of Cao Cao's three daughters to marry him." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

To get Liu Wei's marriage, Wang Bodang was naturally very happy.

……

Another month passed, and Liu Wei's arrangements had spread to all places, and the transfer of troops and horses had almost been carried out.

On this day, a fast horse broke into Yanjing......

"Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing is guilty?" Liu Wei asked lightly.

"The minister is guilty!" Gao Zhong replied.

"What are you guilty of?" Liu Wei asked.

"The minister has not been summoned to leave his post without authorization, and entered Beijing without authorization, and the minister is willing to confess." Gao Zhong knelt down directly.

"Give me an explanation."

Liu Wei said in a deep voice, he naturally understands Gao Chong, Gao Chong is not a bold person, but even if he knows that his choice is a crime, there must be a reason for him to do it.

"In the first battle of Yanjing, my brother Gao Siji died at the hands of Li Yuanba, and the minister heard that His Majesty had the intention of crusading against the Tang Kingdom, and the minister wanted to avenge his brother, so he entered Beijing without authorization." Gao Pet explained.

Hearing Gao Chong's explanation, Liu Wei instantly understood.

"Is this the reason why you left your post without permission, I never said which generals I want to go east, are you so impatient?"

Liu Wei asked.

"I heard that His Majesty plans to let the Imperial Forest Army, the Forbidden Army, General Xu Huang's Department, and General Li Jing's Department participate in the crusade, so the minister came."

Gao Pet said nervously, it is true that Gao Pet is a 10,000-strong enemy on the battlefield, but when he faced Liu Bian, he lost his momentum for some reason, especially when he made a mistake and lacked confidence.

"I only said which armies to send out, but never said which generals to send to the battle, you are good, you have already guessed my intentions, so that you now have one more crime, vainly guessing the holy will, disturbing the morale of the army, if the three crimes are punished together, I can directly let people behead you." Liu Wei shouted in a deep voice.

"If Your Majesty is willing to let the ministers go east to fight against the Tang State to avenge their hatred, even if the ministers die on the battlefield of the Tang Kingdom, they will be willing." Gao Pet replied categorically.

"Bastard!"

Liu Wei suddenly became furious, and Gao Zhong couldn't help but tremble with fright.

"Before the war starts, talk about life and death first, Gao Pet, you are really a good courtier, a good general." Liu Wei scolded Gao Chong.

"The minister is guilty!" Gao Pet hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"You can stay in Yanjing during this time, and I will make an arrangement for you when the time comes." Liu Wei commanded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Pet was immediately overjoyed.

……

Jiangdong,

"Lord, this is a letter from Yanjing." Wang Meng hurried to Cao Cao's residence.

"Quick, show so-and-so!" Cao Cao hurriedly said.

After a while, Cao Cao's face sank, and he silently handed the letter to Wang Meng.

"What do you think?"

After a while, Cao Cao asked.

"Liu Wei didn't say that this is the condition for returning General Xu Chu, what is said in this letter should be his first condition." Wang Meng said everything that came to mind in his heart.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao had a faint look of displeasure on his face.

"It depends on how the lord thinks and how he chooses." Wang Meng gave an ambiguous answer, not that Wang Meng had no ideas, but that he was not suitable for answering this question, and if he was not careful, he would never recover.

"It's a lot of questions, this is a family matter after all!" Cao Cao sighed, seeing Wang Meng's reaction, Cao Cao naturally reacted, knowing that it was inappropriate to ask Wang Meng this question.

"You go down first!"

Cao Cao said to Wang Meng.

"Subordinates retire!"

Wang Meng left,

Soon Cao Cao also went out, he was going to see Xi Zhicai, he knew that Wang Meng had concerns, but Xi Zhicai didn't, because the current Xi Zhicai was terminally ill.
