Chapter 15 Ye Zhao's personal expedition
A fire at the post station alarmed the entire Wancheng, but unfortunately, when Gao Shun, who was guarding Wancheng, extinguished the fire, Cao Ang and his party had been angry for a long time.
"Lord, overnight, including Cao Ang, the envoys sent by Cao Ying attacked thirty-seven people, and none of them remained, all of them died." Gao Shun walked into the council hall and said in a deep voice to Lu Bu: "Moreover, after examination, these people were attacked by sharp blades before they died, and they were already dead before the fire burned. β
When Lu Bu heard this, his cheeks twitched a few times, and they were all ...... They're all dead!
If it is an ordinary envoy, it is not a big problem, but this is Cao Cao's eldest son, and he may inherit Cao Cao's status in the future.
Jia Xu's heart on the side also beat a few times, this method is quite decisive and ruthless, the first day arrived, and the second day was done, without the slightest drag.
"Lord, this must be the hand of the messenger in the pass!" Gao Sheng said with some annoyance: "Please give the order of the lord to arrest the envoy of Guanzhong immediately." β
Yesterday, he had already promised Cao Ang to help him speak, and Lu Bu had already been moved by what he said, and now that the other party suddenly came to such a hand, everything before was in vain.
"Lord!" Wei Xu came in from outside the door and bowed to Lu Bu.
"What?" Lu Bu raised his head and asked.
"The envoy from Guanzhong asks to see you." Wei Xu bowed.
"How dare he come!?" Gao Sheng didn't believe his ears a little, and said incredulously, at this time, shouldn't those Guanzhong envoys find a way to escape from Wancheng? How dare they come here in such a grand manner?
Idiot!
Jia Xu glanced at Gao Sheng, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, no matter how Cao Ang died, Cao Cao would definitely count this account on Lu Bu's head, at this time, why didn't people dare to come?
"Invite them in." Lu Bu sighed and waved his hand.
"Whoa!" Wei Xu bowed, turned to leave, and after a while, Ye Zheng strode in with Wang Shuang.
"Are you ......" The moment he saw Ye Zheng, Gao Sheng stumbled and almost sat on the ground.
"Ye Zhao!?" Lu Buteng stood up and stared at Ye Zheng with tiger eyes, before Ye Zheng made some disguises, plus the wind and dust, Lu Bu just felt familiar, and he didn't recognize it yet, now that Ye Zheng has killed Cao Ang, it can be regarded as fearless, but at this moment, he has already removed all the disguises and cleaned them again, it seems that he is the younger version of Ye Zhao.
"The general forgives the sin, in the next Ye Zheng, my father is Ye Zhao, because of some concerns, I was afraid that the general would be angry with me because of the old grudge with my father, so I didn't dare to look at it with his true face." Ye Zheng smiled.
"In other words, you are not afraid that I will be angry with you now!?" Lu Bu restrained his mind, looked at Ye Zheng, and said coldly.
"The previous grievances have been explained to the general the day before the expedition." Ye Zheng thought for a while and said, "This time, I sincerely hope to form an alliance with the general, and the previous conditions remain the same. β
Lu Bu glared at Ye Zheng, and Ye Zheng met Lu Bu's gaze without fear.
"Lord, don't listen to this person's nonsense!" Gao Sheng also came back to his senses at this moment, looked at Lu Bu and gritted his teeth and said: "As long as this person is handed over to Cao Gong to deal with, Cao Gongzi's matter, presumably Cao Guild will understand the lord." β
"General Gao's words are not bad." Ye Zheng nodded and smiled in Gao Sheng's surprised gaze: "If I were Cao Gong, I might be heartbroken at this time, but I would never lose my mind and anger the general because of this, because now Cao Gong needs the general to join forces to fight our army, but the general Mo doesn't really think that Cao Gong will let the general go so generously, right?" Now that the situation is compelling, he may be able to appease the general with gentle words, but when he breaks through Luoyang with the assistance of the general, the general thinks that Cao Gong will still treat the general with good words? Taking a step back, even if Cao Gong could, would the generals under Cao Gong's command swallow this breath? β
Ye Zheng didn't say whether Ye Zhao would be angry with Lu Bu because of this matter, if he said this at this moment, it would be tantamount to contempt for Lu Bu, with Lu Bu's temperament, maybe he would really send Ye Zheng out for the sake of face.
However, Ye Zheng didn't say it, but it didn't prevent Lu Bu from thinking about it in this regard, Cao Ang was dead, Cao Cao would hate himself no matter what he said, if Ye Zheng was handed over at this time, it would be tantamount to offending the two northern overlords at the same time.
Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Jia Xu, but saw Jia Xu shaking his head silently, Cao Ang is dead, and if you offend Ye Zhao at this time, let alone Lu Bu, he may be unlucky, and now that he has married Ye Zhao, it will also be good for Lu Bu.
"Okay, I promise you." Lu Bu took a deep breath, looked at Ye Zheng and said, "But this matter requires you to stay and marry the little girl." β
"Yes, but in order to show sincerity this time, I will put down the military affairs of the Tiger Prison Pass and come to the starry night, and ask my father-in-law to allow me to send someone to inform my father, and choose another capable person to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass to defend against the enemy." Ye Zheng's eyes lit up and he said loudly.
"Yes, I will send someone to go with your people to discuss the marriage with Ye Zhao, in short, this time the marriage will be done first, and then the troops will be dispatched." Lu Bu nodded.
Gao Sheng on the side was in a hurry when he heard this, these two important things were merged, and in the future, Lu Bu voted for Ye Zhao, who had been refusing Ye Zhao's secret request for him to send news all these years, if he returned to Ye Zhao's command, he would have a way to live.
"Wenhe, I'll bother you to take a trip to Chang'an, follow ...... Let's discuss this matter, the prime minister. Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Jia Xudao.
"Whoa!" Jia Xu bowed.
"Wang Shuang, you accompany Mr. Wenhe back and tell your father the whole story." Ye Zheng also turned his head to look at Wang Shuangdao.
"Whoa!"
β¦β¦
A few days later, Chang'an, Xiangfu.
"Bastard!" Ye Zhao slapped the table, stood up and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to make such a risk!" β
Since coming to this era, Ye Zhao is probably the first time to be so angry, and the Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Li Ru on the side are looking at their noses and hearts, looking like an old god.
"The prime minister is angry." Jia Xu smiled and bowed to Ye Zhao and said: "My lord did not embarrass the prince, this time my lord sent me down, also because the prince proposed to marry my lord's daughter, and sent a minister to discuss this matter." β
"Mr. Wenhe is serious, I am not angry because of this, but this son was ordered to guard the tiger prison, but he ran to Nanyang, which is really a crime of disobeying military orders, and he should be punished." Ye Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his chest, looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said: "Feng Xian is the tiger general of the world, you are Wen Hou, and marrying me is also a good match, but this marriage event still needs to be discussed by a good student, Mr. has been running all the way, he must be tired, I have arranged a courtyard for Mr. to live in, Mr. can live first, and after I discuss with the ministers, I will reply to Mr. as soon as possible." β
"There's no hurry." Seeing that Ye Zhao had suppressed his anger so quickly, Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and left the main hall under the leadership of several maids.
"Wang Shuang!" After Jia Xu left, Ye Zhao looked at Wang Shuangdao.
"The last general!" Wang Shuang hurriedly bowed.
"Tell me what happened during this time, no matter how big or small!" Ye Zhao said coldly.
"Whoa!" Wang Shuang agreed, and after the expedition, Ye Zheng went to Luoyang, how to divide the troops, how to defeat Cao Hong to seize the Tiger Pass, and how to rebuild Luoyang, and later went to Nanyang to persuade Lu Bu, and told Ye Zhao and everyone about it.
"The prince's actions this time are quite the style of the lord back then, but it's just a matter of Nanyang, it's too risky!" Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Ye Zhaodao.
defeated Cao Hong, that was before the expedition, Ye Zheng had a plan, although he fought well, but everyone was not surprised, but after deducing that Cao Cao might unite with Lu Bu, he personally ran to Nanyang to persuade Lu Bu, and the means of killing Cao Ang were even more amazing, but in any case, as Ye Zhao's eldest son and Ye Zhao's successor in the future, Ye Zheng ran to Lu Bu's territory by himself, and he really didn't take his own safety seriously.
However, in terms of means, it can only be said that he is worthy of being Ye Zhao's son, he is bold and decisive enough, no wonder Lu Bu is in a hurry to marry Ye Zhao.
"Humph!" Ye Zhao sat down and looked at everyone: "Meng De has died of his son, I'm afraid I'm going crazy this time, it seems that this time, I have to go to meet Meng De in person, it's just a marriage with Lu Bu......"
Marrying Lu Bu's daughter, Ye Zhao doesn't mind, no matter what Lu Bu's background is, but with Lu Bu's current status, it is not difficult to accept marrying him Ye Zhao.
The problem is that with LΓΌ Bu's capricious character...... Sometimes it's harder to defend yourself than outsiders.
"Why should the lord be worried?" Guo Jia smiled and said: "If this battle can be helped by Lu Bu and defeat Cao Cao, the lord's voice will inevitably be stronger, although Lu Bu is repeated, but with the current situation, as long as it is in the hands of the lord, and there is a daughter involved, are you still worried that he will not succeed repeatedly?" β
That's right, too.
When Ye Zhao heard this, he nodded silently and said: "Order Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to order 50,000 troops and go to Luoyang first. β
"Whoa!" When they heard this, they bowed down and got up.
Early the next morning, Ye Zhao summoned Jia Xu, and the two sides discussed in the study for more than an hour before setting the date, and Ye Zhao demanded that the marriage must be handled in Luoyang, and Ye Zheng would marry Lu Bu's daughter in Wancheng, and then rush to Luoyang with Lu Bu's daughter.
Since he wants to marry a wife, Ye Zhao naturally will not be ambiguous about this kind of thing, not only prepared a dowry for Jia Xu to take away, but also found a lot of highly respected people to go to Nanyang with Jia Xu to be a matchmaker for Ye Zheng.
Everything has been decided, the next day, Ye Zhao gathered 5,000 Chang'an forbidden troops outside Chang'an City, gathered Ye Zhao's personal guards, and took Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and Li Ru to go out on the oath and rushed to Luoyang, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun transferred the Lanchi soldiers and horses, and the army marched naturally not as fast as Ye Zhao, and it was also necessary to deploy grain and grass, raise manpower and transport, and it would take at least half a month to assemble them all, which was still the efficiency of Ye Zhao's command, as for the arrival of the army in Luoyang, I am afraid it will be after January.
