Chapter 243: Holy Envoy Cao Cao
"I heard that Xiaoyaojun took Bai Chongyang's daughter, that is, the holy daughter of the White Lotus Sect, Bai Baobao, to Xiangyang. Now that the two saintesses before and after the White Lotus Sect are in the hands of Xiaoyaojun, plus the three protectors have also switched to Xiaoyaojun, in this way, Bai Chongyang must be anxious, and he will send someone to find Xiaoyaojun soon! ”
Although Kuiyi was not in Xiangzhou, he was still clear about Li Gengyun's movements, and he came back this time to enter the city first to understand the situation and then come to Li Gengyun's mansion, and he already knew about Bai Luojun and Bai Baobao in Xiangyang City, and also knew about Huaishui Sanding and the elite of the Three Thousand White Lotus Sect. Now that the main managers of the White Lotus Sect are in Xiangzhou, it can be said that Li Gengyun directly grasped the weakness of the White Lotus Sect, and this move is also ruthless enough, the purpose is to force Bai Chongyang to compromise with him. In addition, the cooperation between the White Lotus Sect and Baili Xi has almost broken down, which is even more conducive to Li Gengyun's strategic control and deployment of Jiangzhou.
"Don't say it so badly. The two white girls came to Xiangzhou to live for a while, maybe when they got tired of playing and wanted to leave? I did not restrict their personal freedom. There are also the three brothers of the Ding family who sincerely took refuge in Xiangzhou, and the 3,000 elites they brought over are also heroic young people with ideals and ambitions, so they are called abandoning the darkness and turning to the light. And I call this all-inclusive. ”
"Huh!" Kui Yi also smiled when he heard Li Gengyun's explanation, although it was true, but Bai Luojun was deceived by Li Gengyun at the beginning, and this Bai Baobao was also seriously injured, Li Gengyun asked Bai Luojun to bring her to Xiangzhou to heal. As for the three brothers of the Ding family, Li Gengyun did not force them to do anything, they took the initiative to hand over the military banner order, and at the same time they were very happy to bring 3,000 elites to Xiangzhou, everything is a logical thing, and it is indeed not to blame Li Gengyun, nor is it that Li Gengyun took them captive.
"Mr. Li, there is a person outside the door who claims to be a holy envoy asking to see you!"
At this time, a guard outside the room came to pass the word, saying that there was a holy envoy outside who asked to see him, which immediately made Li Gengyun smile on his face, and said to Kuiyi: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" ”
"Let him in!"
"Who is Cao Cao?"
Kui Yi had never heard of this proverb, so he didn't know who Cao Cao was talking about in Li Gengyun's mouth, he looked at Li Gengyun in surprise and asked, "Xiaoyaojun even knows who the other party's holy envoy is?" ”
"Well, no, no, no, this is a proverb in my hometown, which says, whoever is being discussed, who comes. That's what it means! Li Gengyun explained to Kuiyi in embarrassment, and also made this sentence clear.
"Oh!"
"Please!"
"Mr. Li, the Holy Envoy has brought it!"
The door opened, and Li Gengyun saw a man dressed in plain clothes and wearing a lotus holy crown walking in, the man had a beard all over his face, and he didn't look like a neat person. However, his eyes were sharp, and from his eyes to his cheeks, he revealed a fierce spirit, which really surprised Li Gengyun.
"Cao Cao, the Holy Envoy of the Lower White Lotus Sect, has met Mr. Li!"
"Poof!"
Li Gengyun and Kui Yi didn't come over at the same time, and they were also very surprised to hear that the name of the holy envoy was Cao Cao. Especially Kuiyi, just now he thought that Li Gengyun knew that the other party's name was Cao Cao, and he deliberately asked. As a result, Li Gengyun explained that it was a proverb from their hometown, and he recognized it. As a result, as soon as this person came in, he reported to his home, and his name was really Cao Cao, which suddenly made Kuiyi feel a little surprised.
"Huh?"
At the same time, the shadow hidden in the corner also knew the cause and effect, and relaxed his breath a little, but it was noticed by the other party, only to see Cao Cao turn his head, look at the corner, and immediately frowned.
"Mr. Li turned out to be in an ambush secretly, Mr. Li can rest assured, he is not hostile this time, he is just here to make a deal with Mr. Li!"
"Don't blame the Holy Envoy, it's not that the Holy Envoy is ambushing, it's just that the Holy Envoy came here today, and I have two friends at home, one likes to joke, and the other likes to hide in the dark and secretly observe others. But we're not hostile. ”
Li Gengyun saw that Cao Cao could actually feel the existence of the shadow, so the other party was not an ordinary person, at least in terms of martial arts, it would definitely not be bad. Looking at the other party's face and the breath revealed in his eyes, as well as the alertness of Fang Cai, this is absolutely very human.
"I wonder what kind of deal the Holy Envoy wants to negotiate with me when the Holy Envoy comes today?"
"This ......." Cao Cao didn't rush to answer when he heard Li Gengyun's words, but just looked at Kui Yi, who was still sitting there roasting the fire, and the dark shadow hiding on the side, and signaled to Li Gengyun whether to let them avoid it.
"It doesn't hurt for the Holy Envoy to say that both of them are their own people."
"Okay, please Mr. Li send the Holy Maiden back to the White Lotus Sect, and at the same time return the White Lotus Sect's military flag order."
Cao Cao spoke straight to the point, and directly asked Li Gengyun to send the holy woman back to the White Lotus Sect, and at the same time asked Li Gengyun for the military flag order. The military flag order is a holy object in the White Lotus Sect, and its role is equivalent to the tiger talisman in the imperial court, and at the same time, most of the troops of the White Lotus Sect obey the dispatch of the military flag order and act with the military flag order, so the military flag order Cao Cao must also bring it back to the White Lotus Sect.
"What's in it for me?" Li Gengyun asked Cao Cao with a smile, he did not directly agree to Cao Cao's conditions, but wanted to see what conditions the other party put forward to make a deal with him.
"Xiangzhou has natural hazards, rich in rice and brocade. However, the lack of iron is due to the average quality of sabers in the army, mostly doped with bronze. Xizhou and Northern Xinjiang are rich in iron, but there is a shortage of food, if Lizhou is controlled by the Northern Yuan, then Xiangzhou will not be able to obtain iron in Xizhou and Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, the sect leader meant that he wanted to support Lizhou in exchange for Mr. Li. ”
"Lizhou? The holy envoy laughed, Lizhou is now controlled by the Northern Yuan, and the entire Central Plains has been controlled by the Northern Yuan, plus the White Lotus Sect only has a small amount of power in Jiangzhou, what capital do you have to take Lizhou and give it to us? ”
Lizhou is now controlled by the Northern Yuan, and although Yeluqi's army is in Dongzhou and Chaozhou, there are not a few Yuan troops guarding Lizhou today. The White Lotus Sect is located in Jiangzhou, and if you want to get to Lizhou, you will either take a detour from Xiangzhou, or you will go upriver to Lizhou. But no matter which method they do, they will not be able to defeat Lizhou.
Li Gengyun is also very clear about this, so what he wants to know, whether Bai Chongyang has decided to make some moves against Dongzhou or Chaozhou in Jiangzhou, and it must be a big move, otherwise it will be difficult to turn Yeluqi's attention.
"After the year, the army of my White Lotus Sect will start to deal with the Yuan army in Dongzhou, and I hope that Mr. Li will be able to get Lizhou as he wishes!"
"After a year? Is this your decision or Bai Chongyang's decision? ”
"The main thing to teach is the year before, and I'm talking about the year after the year!"
"I want a year ago!"
