Chapter 8 Xu Du
Xu Du.
Xun You came to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, Jiangdong sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!" ”
"Buqiu?" Cao Cao's brows furrowed, the Battle of Chibi had just ended two years, what did Jiangdong mean by sending people at this time.
Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu next to him and asked, "Wenhe, what do you think Zhou Lang meant by sending someone here at this time?" ”
Jia Xu's eyes flashed: "Zhou Lang's move must be ill-intentioned!" The prime minister don't want to see him first, anyway, it's almost the New Year now, the prime minister might as well delay it until the New Year and see Bu Qi again, and mine can also take this opportunity to find out the meaning of this Bu Qi! ”
……
Bu Qiu stayed in the Xudu Post House for three months, and for three whole months, Cao Cao did not receive Bu Qi and his cadres.
In March of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, after being hung out for more than three months, Cao Cao finally met with Buqiu.
Liu Chan followed Bu Qiu and Ma Zhong and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang, and when Dong Zhuo was defeated, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and then Li Guo's rebellion, Emperor Liu Che escaped from Chang'an, and was welcomed by Cao Cao to Xudu, and since then Xudu has become the capital of the Han Dynasty.
After Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian to Xudu, he carried out a large-scale expansion of Xudu City, built a palace for Emperor Xian from the new, and built a mansion for hundreds of officials, and of course, built a very luxurious mansion for himself.
The scale of Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion is not much smaller than that of the Imperial Palace, and compared to Liu Bei's residence in Jiangling, it is simply two grades.
In front of the gate of Cao's mansion, two huge stone lions, in the mansion, pavilions and pavilions, inlaid in it, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, guarded strictly. Looking at the equipment of the guards, each helmet is bright, and the knives in the waist are made of stainless steel, which is worth a lot at a glance.
Ma Zhong looked at the saber on the guard's body, and secretly swallowed his saliva, such a good steel knife, the Eastern Wu army can't afford it, Cao Cao is really rich!
Soon, the three of them were taken to Cao Cao's meeting hall. In the hall, the civil and military sit on the left and right. And in the middle sat a white-faced middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a red robe embroidered with gold threads, although this person was not burly, but there was a majestic aura exuding.
This person is Cao Cao.
Behind Cao Cao, there was a black fat man, this fat man was about the same height as Zhang Fei, but he was much fatter than Zhang Fei, and he didn't have as much beard on his face as Zhang Fei, this person was Cao Cao's personal guard Xu Chu.
Liu Chan looked down again, and Wenwu sat on the left and right sides. Liu Chan looked at these people carefully, and there was a good chance that he could guess the identity of two or three out of ten.
The first one in the attack was a scribe, who looked older than Cao Cao and had a gloomy face, which should be Cao Cao's chief strategist Jia Xu; Next to Jia Xu, there are two people sitting, and the two of them look alike, they should be Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew; In terms of military generals, the people sitting in the first two are dressed similarly, except that the first person is blind in one eye, while the second person has more beards, and these two people are Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers.
"Bu Qiu (Ma Zhong) meets the prime minister!" At this time, Bu Qiu and Ma Zhong said at the same time.
Cao Cao nodded: "Mr. Buqiu doesn't have to be polite!" Subsequently, Cao Cao saw Liu Chan standing behind.
"Mr. Buqiu, who is the child behind you?" Cao Cao asked.
"Prime Minister, this time I came here on the order of the Grand Governor, and I sent this child to the Prime Minister!" Bu Qiu said unhurriedly.
"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Chan curiously. Cao Cao had already inquired that Bu Qi and Ma Zhong had brought a child this time, and Cao Cao did not put it on him, but now it seems that this child is not an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Cao Cao thought that a few days ago, Liu Bei's son Adou had lost it! At the time, I was quite gloating, but now it seems that this trouble is probably caused by myself!
If this child is really Liu Chan, it will be a big trouble for Cao Cao. Zhou Yu tied Liu Chan to himself and gave it to him, just to provoke the relationship between himself and Liu Bei and make Liu Bei even more hostile to him.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao and Liu Bei do not have any deep hatred, at most they are two same careerists, to be honest, Cao Cao still admires Liu Bei very much in his heart, with a white Ding, he was able to recruit so many talents and achieve such a great cause, which even Cao Cao admired.
It's just that now, if he accepts Liu Chan, it will inevitably make the relationship between the two sides worse, and maybe Liu Bei will attack Xiangyang immediately when he is angry.
And if he doesn't accept it, or if he returns Liu Chan to Liu Bei, the people of the world will definitely laugh at themselves for being afraid of Liu Bei, then the morale that was finally recovered after the defeat in the Battle of Chibi will probably be lost again!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao and Jia Xu below glanced at each other, Jia Xu nodded at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao immediately understood. So Cao Cao turned his head to Bu Qiu and said, "Mr. Bu Qiu, that appearance is more kind to Mr. Bu Qiu, come on, take Mr. Bu Qiu down to rest......"
Bu Qiu and Ma Zhong were taken down, and Cao Cao turned his head to look at Liu Chan.
"You're Adou! When General Zhao Yun led you to break through the siege, you were still a baby, and now you have grown so big! Cao Cao said with some melancholy.
Liu Chan nodded, I don't know what's wrong, at this time Liu Chan's heart was unusually calm, Liu Chan looked at Cao Cao, and asked, "You are Cao Cao!" You're a little thinner than I thought you would! ”
"Lose weight! Hehehe......" Cao Cao laughed, since the defeat of Chibi, he has indeed lost a lot of weight.
"Adou, aren't you afraid? Your father and I are mortal enemies! You're not afraid I'll kill you? Cao Cao asked.
"You're not going to kill me!"
"Why? How can you be so sure that I won't kill you, you must know that even if I do, your father will have nothing to do with me! ”
"What's in it for you to kill me?" Liu Chan asked rhetorically.
Cao Cao was stunned, and suddenly, Cao Cao felt that he was not facing a three-year-old child, but a scheming old fox!
"Back then, my mother was caught by you, and you didn't kill her because you wanted your second uncle to work for you! Now, you won't kill me either, you need me to blackmail my father, as long as I'm in your hands, my father won't dare to attack Xiangyang easily, and your pressure in Jingzhou will be much less! Liu Chan said unhurriedly.
Everyone looked at Liu Chan in a daze, if these words came out of the mouths of the strategists present, everyone would take it for granted, but these words came out of the mouth of a three-year-old child, all this is incredible! And in the face of so many people, he is not afraid at all, this courage is not something ordinary people can have.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Chan below with a shocked expression, is he really just a three-year-old child? How did Liu Bei give birth to such a freak!
Cao Cao ordered someone to take Liu Chan down, and Xun Yu suddenly stood up at this time: "Prime Minister, this son is smart, rare in the world, he will become a big disaster one day, this son can't stay!" ”
"Prime Minister, Mr. Xun is right! This son is only three years old this year, and he is so smart, if he grows up, he will become a trouble! Cheng Yu also came out to say it.
At this time, Xu Shu next to him couldn't sit still. Since Xu Shu joined Cao Ying, he has not offered a plan, but now Liu Bei's son Liu Chan is going to be unable to save his life, remembering Liu Bei's kindness to him, Xu Shu is desperate to protect Liu Chan.
"Prime Minister. This Liu Chan must not be killed! Xu Shu shouted and walked out.
————————————————————————
Regarding Liu Qi, there is no special record in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and only a word about Liu Qi can be found in other people's biographies. There is a big discrepancy between Liu Qi written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Liu Qi recorded separately in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, for example, the time of Liu Qi's death in the Three Kingdoms drama is a self-contradiction, which shows that the authenticity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is indeed questionable. What kind of person the real Liu Qi is, it is impossible to analyze it with the words in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so for the sake of writing, what kind of Liu Qi is written by the gluttonous worm, let's make do with it!
In addition, I would like to recommend it!
