"Haha, Wuyuan (Pang Jizi) You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, don't be polite, if you don't dislike it, you will sit down and drink together, but this wine and food have been stained with blood." Liu Ye also laughed, quite enthusiastic. When Pang Ji heard this, he immediately understood, so he said to the left and right: "Go and get a few catties of beef and osmanthus cakes, and give Lord Liu wine." ”

After saying that, Pang Ji took out some broken silver from his arms and stuffed it casually to a soldier. The soldier hurriedly received the order, and then led the people away quickly. Liu Ye also gave Wang Ling a look. Wang Ling understood, so he bowed and left.

After Pang Ji saw that everyone was leaving, he was not polite, he walked to the side and sat down, he didn't like the smell of blood on the table, he took a cup, poured himself a cup, raised his head and drank it, drank it loudly, wiped his mouth, and said: "I heard that Ziyang is now under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and he can be described as a pivotal adviser under Prime Minister Cao Cheng, but I have few merits after so many years, eh..."

"With five rounds of talent, just a school captain is not enough. It's just a pity that Liu Jingsheng is already a hero in his twilight, and then look at the sons under his knees, Liu Qi is cowardly, Liu Cong is sick, Liu Xiu is still young, plus Cai's power, if Liu Biao dies, the career of Wuyuan will end here. As soon as Liu Ye said this, Pang Ji couldn't help but change color suddenly, and his face showed a little anger. But Pang Ji still suppressed it and smiled bitterly: "After so many years, your mouth is still so poisonous, and you speak mercilessly." ”

Liu Ye's face was cold, obedient, and replied: "A certain person will only seek truth from facts, please take care of Wuyuan, if you are offended, please don't mind." ”

"Okay, you don't chew on the words for me, I can't say it. But there's one thing, as you might have guessed, but I'm going to make a statement first. The incident of sending assassins to attack Ziyang this time was definitely the work of my lord. ”

"I naturally know, and if I am correct, this should be the hand of the Cai family!"

After all, the Cai family is Pang Ji's mother. If it was Cai's doing, Liu Biao would probably be to blame. But when Pang Ji heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said bitterly: "Regarding the situation in Jingzhou, I think Prime Minister Cao Cheng can understand it more or less. After Ziyang goes back, please say a few words for my father-in-law. Also, although I don't know what my lord's final decision is, I and several Jingzhou ministers do not want to offend Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and will definitely try my best to persuade my lord. ”

"Hehe, although there are many Jingzhou civil officials and military generals, they can be called dragons among people, but they are the double jieer of the Kuai family! You don't have to hide the five yuan, and this time there is the help of the Kuai brothers, it must be foolproof. You and I are right to concentrate on drinking at the moment. As soon as Liu Ye's voice fell, he poured Pang Ji a full glass of wine. Pang Ji smiled, then raised his glass to Liu Ye in respect, and immediately drank it.

After about half an hour, it was already dusk. Liu Ye and Pang Ji drank very quickly, and suddenly someone came to report that Liu Biao and Kuai Liang were waiting below. The two looked at each other and were about to go down to greet them. At this time, I heard someone shouting: "No need! The old man is here! ”

Liu Ye and Pang Ji couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and when they saw Liu Biao walking in with a dark face, they couldn't help but shout angrily when they saw the two corpses around them that hadn't been moved out yet: "It's a shame, it's too embarrassing!" The old man's old face can be said to be lost!! ”

Seeing that Liu Biao was furious, Kuai Liang, who was beside him, was frightened, lest he vomit blood in anger, so he hurriedly appeased. Pang Ji and Liu Ye also found that Liu's appearance was not good, and they were busy calming them down.

After a while, Liu Biaocai calmed down and shouted angrily: "No wonder Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise!" This dares to be so arrogant and presumptuous, how can the old man spare it, Zirou, you quickly lead Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, and catch that woman!! ”

When Kuai Liang heard this, his face was shocked for a moment, saying that he had waited for this opportunity, and he had waited for too long, so he hurriedly shook his spirit and accepted his life. Who knows, at this time, someone in Liu Biao's mansion came to report, saying that not long after Liu Biao left today, Cai left the city with the third son, and looked at Xiangyang to go back, saying that he wanted to visit relatives. When Liu Biao heard this, his eyes widened with anger, and Kuai Liang didn't have time to persuade him. Liu Biao 'wow', blood spurted out on the spot, and he immediately passed out on the spot.

A few days later, Liu Biao's condition improved, but because he missed his youngest son Liu Xiu, he couldn't sleep well. However, Liu Biao also knew that the current situation could not be delayed, so he immediately replied to Liu Ye, willing to make peace with Cao's army, and ordered people to withdraw the soldiers and horses stationed in Nanyang on the same day. After Liu Ye completed his mission, he wanted to leave. Kuai Liang was afraid that there would be any accident with him, and he specially ordered Pang Ji to escort him back.

Soon after, Lu Bu heard that the Jingzhou army in Nanyang had begun to retreat, and also heard from the people who reported that Liu Biao didn't even read the letter that day, but tore it apart, and he was secretly annoyed, so he officially accepted the position of Xuzhou Mu. Chen Gong then led Xuzhou to do civil and military affairs, proclaimed loyalty, and worshiped Lu Bu.

But on the other hand, what Lu Bu didn't expect was that Cao Cao actually sent an envoy to Youzhou, showing Liu Bei as the general of Zhenbei, Guan Yu as the Qingzhou Mu, and Hanshou Tinghou. When the news spread, the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou and Qingzhou were extremely overjoyed. Liu Bei then held a banquet to reward a group of civil and military personnel, and in the banquet, he made a reward. Everyone was overjoyed and excited.

And Liu Bei, who is known for his ambitions, was not willing to do so, and soon he discussed with Xu Shu, and accepted Xu Shu's proposal, leading Fang Yue, Gong Du, Liao Hua, Zhang Yan and other generals, and Xu Shu, the military division, went to war with the army, and ordered a total of 10,000 soldiers to attack Liaodong. Among them, with the help of thousands of Hun iron horsemen from Fuluo, they slaughtered and went away.

=========================================

Since then, years have passed in the blink of an eye. It is said that this year the world has a bumper harvest, and there is no disaster, from the Central Plains, the harvest is quite abundant, and the princes from all over the country have sent envoys to carry a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, grain brocade, and go to Beijing to pay tribute. Therefore, in the past few days, Luoyang City can be described as a busy traffic, with all kinds of people and a dazzling array of tributes, so it is not lively. There are a lot of people from different races, including the Qiang people from Xiliang, there are also from the Sichuan Xiban ethnic minorities, there are also from the north of the Xianbei, Wuhuan people, these alien races have the habit of selecting beauties from their own tribe as offerings, so there are exotic beauties everywhere in the streets of Luoyang, and there are all kinds of different merchants who come to set up stalls in the bazaar. Cao Cao saw that there was a trend of prosperity and prosperity in various places, so he suggested to the Son of Heaven that the era name be changed to the first year of Xing'an. The Son of Heaven allowed it, and then proclaimed the world.

On the same day, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao was in the high-rise buildings in the mansion, inviting all the civil and military under his command to look at the prosperous scene in the city, and couldn't help but be proud, and said with a smile: "The sky has eyes, the world has been peaceful in the past few years, and it is a bumper harvest every year, so the people have surplus grain to save, and the merchants are profitable, and now this Luoyang City is much more prosperous than Luoyang City more than ten years ago!" ”

"Eh, since Dong Zhuo ordered someone to burn Luoyang, Luoyang has never had such a prosperous scene for many years, God bless my big man!" Seeing the speaker next to Cao Cao, it was Xun Yu who had the name of Wang Zuozhi.

As soon as his voice fell, the man next to him seemed to be a little displeased and said: "If this is not built by the prime minister, I am afraid that Luoyang will have become a deserted and empty city at this time!" What does this have to do with Dahan!? I think it's all the prime minister's work! ”

As soon as he said this, except for Xun Yu, who had not yet reacted, everyone hurriedly responded, and the words of praise for Cao Cao were even more resounding. When Xun Yu saw it, he was slightly stunned, since the knot in his heart was untied, he could let it go, and immediately bowed his hand, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that Yu's mouth still can't be obedient, if you offend, please don't mind the prime minister." ”

"Haha, what Wen Ruo said, but it doesn't make sense! Although the Han family has survived for many years, it has finally been revived with the cooperation of you and my courtiers, isn't this God bless my great Hanye~!! Cao laughed loudly, his charm that is both good and evil, and people can't see through it, is even more fascinating.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Sun Ce sent the famous scholar Zhang Hong as an envoy, with hundreds of strong men, as well as a dry of local products and property as tribute, and came to ask for a meeting. As soon as this report came out, everyone was shocked. Cao Hong laughed even more: "Look, everyone, I said a little bit earlier that this Sun Bofu would never dare to oppose Cheng, don't you see that this time is not bowing to the lord!?" Hmph, if it weren't for Maxi in the north and Liu Biao in the south, Lao Tzu would have led the army to cross the Yangtze River earlier, so that Sun Bofu would know how powerful my Cao army is!! ”

"Haha~! You don't brag, that Sun Bofu can have the style of a book, you are not his opponent alone, I think it is better to let me come out! At this time, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter and laughed, and saw Xiahou Yuan laughing loudly.

Cao Hong saw that it was Xiahou Yuan who didn't want to grit his teeth secretly, knowing that he couldn't beat him, so he didn't refute. At this time, Cao Ren, who had a solemn face, said quite coldly: "You two don't fight." With the current situation, within a few years, I am afraid it will be impossible to fight a decisive battle with the Sun family. ”

As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, everyone couldn't help but change their faces. Cao Ren immediately looked at Cao Cao again, and said with a shocking hand: "My lord, after these few years of rest, the princes of all parts of the world have been able to recuperate, and many of them have been able to recuperate, and many of them have been able to recruit a large number of troops, as well as drill a lot of elites!" There is no shortage of ambitious people among these princes, and they are even more eyeing the Central Plains!! According to the opinion of the last general, the Sun family is far away in Jiangdong, and it is impossible to start a war with it within a few years, so it can be used to accept the tribute of the Sun family, and express that Sun Bofu as the general of Zhengnan and the position of Marquis of Wu, and then take the opportunity to ally with the Sun family!! ”

As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, many generals changed their colors, after all, Sun Ce openly rebelled against Cao Cao back then, and also announced that the world's heroes would crusade together. Fortunately, Sun Ce was just to show his determination to dominate Jiangdong at that time, and no one responded to his call except for Ma Xijun in Yanzhou.

Therefore, at the moment, if Cao Cao proposed an alliance to Sun Ce instead, he would naturally have some self-inflicted humiliation.

It's just that Cao Cao is Cao Cao, as Cao Ren said, if you can unite with Sun Ce, you can first ensure the stability of Jiangdong, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. As for the mere face, Cao Cao is not at ease, not to mention that Cao Cao has secretly had a picture with Xun Yu not long ago, and the Sun family is an important part of it!
