Chapter 137: Lao Cao Wants to Surrender (I)
"Smack!" The best jade was supposed to be a thing for nobles to play with, but at this moment, it was slammed to the ground with a crisp sound.
"The Lord is angry!" The chamberlain knelt on the ground tremblingly and lowered his head, letting the small and sharp jade shards cut his cheeks, and he didn't dare to cry out in pain, and the beads of sweat the size of beans fell on the bluestone bricks drop by drop with blood, and he didn't dare to look at the angry middle-aged man in front of him.
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish! took more than 100 elite soldiers to catch a doll that was powerless, and all of them were captured? Could it be that the sky is going to kill me? Cao Ying, who was holding a piece of bamboo slip in his hand and looking at the content on it, his face was already distorted, his narrow eyes were shining, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, "Qin Xu!" Qin Xu! Shaft! Hate only hate how he didn't cut you with a knife in Chen Liu! ”
"Lord...... The Lord is angry! The head of the chamberlain was lowered, and he was too cowardly to say more.
"Rest your anger! Calm your anger! What do you know as an attendant? Then Qin Xu can do such a thing at only seventeen years old, and twenty years later, who can control it? Cao Ying's cold eyes were full of murderous aura, staring viciously at the waiter in front of him who had been with him for five or six years, he took a sharp breath and said coldly: "Quickly go to pass on the drama to Cheng Yu...... Hmm, it's still Zhang Miao who came to see me! ”
"No!" The chamberlain retreated in panic.
"Lu Bu! Qin Xu! Qingzhou! Cao Ying's hideous face revealed a thick unyielding and a trace of helplessness.
Cao Ren and Cao Hong's plan to attack Linzi failed, and they were captured in Jinan and could not return for a long time, which has made the children of the clan look at Cao Ying with a different kind of eyes; Wei contacted the Yellow Turban of Zichuan to be captured, and there was no one after 50,000 stones, grains and grass, and there were occasional complaints; It's good now, as one of the few generals in the forces of the Cao army in Yanzhou, he was also arrested, this time there is no need for others to say anything, Cao Ying himself can't wait to strangle Qin Xu with his own hands.
It's too much of a bully! Our old Cao has been fighting for nearly ten years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although he is invincible in all battles, but in the end, he has won more and lost less, and has laid a great reputation. How could he meet Qin Xu, a kid who was just a milk doll when he became famous in Cao Ying, as if he had met a nemesis, he couldn't fight, he couldn't beat, he couldn't calculate, he couldn't calculate. Could it really be that there were too many ridiculous things done in Luoyang when I was young, and God sent someone to rectify our Lao Cao?
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
"Father!"
"Mr. Xi, Zhong De, Meng Zhuo, you are here! You all know the news brought back by Qingzhou's internal line, right? Cao Ying, who had just washed his face with cold water, seemed to be always the same as if he was always in the chest when facing his subordinates.
"Yes, my lord, Yu and the others already know. However, as far as Cheng knows, General Yuan Rang was captured by mistake this time, and I heard that it was caused by a grain sergeant under Zhang Taishou, so please talk about it Zhang Taishou! Cheng Yu said with a purple-red face, a thick beard, and a murderous voice.
"My lord! I ...... "Zhang Miao is really wronged, Dian Wei has bravery, he knows it, he always thinks it's just a little stronger, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless, I heard that the foot battle can hold more than 1,000 moves with Lu Bu without distinguishing between victory and defeat, and he captured Xiahoudun with one move. Zhang Miao was suddenly sent by Cao Ying, and when he was worried about how to explain to Cao Ying, he heard Cheng Yu's words, and immediately fell to his knees in shock, as if he wanted to defend something, but found that he couldn't open his mouth.
"Meng Zhuo doesn't need to say much! You know Yanzhou and Cao's heart! Meng Zhuo is a close friend of Cao, although Zhongde is out of the public heart, but don't say anything after this! Cao Ying squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Miao for a long time before he said slowly.
Zhang Miao and Lu Bu have a good personal relationship, this Cao Ying knows, otherwise when he promised to lend Lu Bu, he would not have asked Zhang Miao to serve as the master of ceremonies. But then again, the relationship between Zhang Miao and Cao Ying is also very close, and when the Princes Alliance crusaded against Dong Zhuo, they vigorously helped Cao Ying, and then advocated welcoming Cao Ying as one of the initiators of Yanzhou Mu. It can be said that without Zhang Miao and others, if Cao Ying wants to win Yanzhou, I don't know how much effort it will take. Moreover, Zhang Miao was an official under Cao Ying's nose, sending a sergeant to help Qin Xu escort grain and grass, and by the way, picking up Cao Ren's brothers and Wei Qi's return, which was also Cao Ying's approval, Zhang Miao sent the most effective men, and it was the faithful fulfillment of Cao Ying's orders, which could not be regarded as a sin. Cao Ying couldn't blame him even if he wanted to, and in the end, he could only attribute his resentment to Qin Xu's broken mouth!
"But the lord, Cheng got the news before, and now he is quite trusted and reused by Lu Bu's family in Qingzhou Sima Zanghong, it seems that he also has a great relationship with Zhang Taishou, according to legend, this person was in Lu Bu when he passed through Puyang, and once he entered Lu Bu's army, both father and son were immediately reused. And according to General Miaocai, when it was said that Lu Butun was outside Puyang City, it seemed that Zhang Chao, the younger brother of Zhang Taishou, had been out of the city for several hours, and I don't know how Zhang Taishou explained this in front of the lord? Cheng Yu said with a gloomy face and in an equally gloomy voice.
"And that matter?" The look of surprise on Cao Ying's face suddenly appeared, but how he looked at it as if he was pretending to be strong, it was not natural.
"Cheng Yu! Cheng Zhongde! Zhang Miao knows Cao Ying too well, where can he not know at this time, where will Cheng Yu deliberately find fault after learning about it, it is clear that Cao Ying used Cheng Yu's mouth to test his old friend. At that moment, Zhang Miao's heart moved, his face changed drastically, his white face turned red, and he glared angrily at Cheng Yu, who was standing not far from Cao Ying's right hand, and said angrily: "Did you burn your house or take away your wife, provoke you to spew blood like this, and frame my two brothers?" Indeed, I have a good personal relationship with Lu Bu, this matter is known to the world, when Lu Bu came to Chen Liu, the lord also ordered Zhang to mediate in the middle, so that Lu Bu deeply felt the lord's hospitality, and he did not commit any crimes in the counties and counties in my territory when he took advantage of Yanzhou! And it's you, Cheng Yu! Clever words, confusing the lord and flattering, making the lord bear the name of the alliance for no reason, at the beginning, you were unwise, tired of Yanzhou defeated, and now you are tired of Qingzhou, and the army's heart collapsed and Lu changed color! It's you again, who is good at starting a war, and the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun and Na Wei Jiazi are trapped in the enemy camp! Or you, vainly talking about the lord, broke the contract again, so that General Yuan Rang was captured! Now you blame everything on someone? Cheng Yu, where is your conscience? ”
"You! You! "How resourceful Cheng Yu is, in fact, there has been a public opinion, and he often thinks highly of himself, how can he tolerate Zhang Miao, who has no scheming in his eyes, to scold so angrily, his angry beard is upside down, and he is speechless at Zhang Miao.
"Me? What am I me? Zhang and Meng De are old friends, since they have been entrusted to Chen Liu, they have been more careful in governing the government, and they dare not take a break, but this time, a sergeant was confused by that Qin Xu, so he said that we are waiting for Lu Bu to fornicate? What is your heart? I have my own public opinion on the merits of my two brothers in Yanzhou! And I can't tolerate you Cheng Yu's little Shou Zhang Ling to make wild words here! Although Zhang Miao is not good at strategy, he has been in charge for many years, but this eloquence is extremely outstanding, and he is angry and directs to the hearts of the people, which makes Cheng Yu a little overwhelmed, just caressing his chest and panting.
"Meng Zhuo......" Cao Ying is actually just suspicious, after all, although the Yanzhou Governance Office is in Puyang, but stationed in Chen Liu, and Zhang Miao day and night, plus with Zhang Miao's old friendship, he had to recall Cheng Yu, who was in Puyang, to come back and try to speak, this time seeing Cheng Yu's words like a knife, but Zhang Miao said in a few words that Cheng Yu, a wise man, could not speak, Cao Ying was also very embarrassed, and said: "Meng Zhuo Mo has to be careful, Zhongde and you are both for the sake of Yanzhou!" Zhongde, you don't have to say a word, how can Meng Zhuo's friendship with Ye not know? Let's not talk about it, let's talk about it! ”
"Lord!" Zhang Miao glanced at Cao Ying deeply, and suddenly said on the ground: "This time, I am fighting with Qingzhou, Miao should have avoided it, but if I don't say a word, I hope the lord will listen!" ”
"Why did Meng Zhuo say this? Meng Zhuo and Ying, known as the main ministers, are really close friends, and they can entrust their wives and children to their friendship, so why not say it explicitly? Even though it is! The one just now made Cao Ying's suspicion of Zhang Miao go away for most of it, and he also felt that it was not very authentic to make a plan against his old friend, so he reached out to help Zhang Miao and said warmly.
"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Miao took advantage of the situation and said: "Because I estimated Zhang's friendship with Na Lu Bu before, coupled with the fact that General Yuan Rang missed this time, Miao is indeed responsible, so I dare not speak. But now that Cheng Yu has made it clear, then Miao will also say what is in his heart. If you don't want Meng De, please ask Meng Derong's brother to return to his hometown! ”
"Meng Zhuo is still blaming him for this, so let's go, Meng Zhuo, please say everything!" Cao Ying frowned slightly, sighed, glanced at Cheng Yu's face with a slight reproach in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"No!" Zhang Miao took a deep breath, groaned slightly, and said: "Originally, my Yanzhou and Qingzhou are both Dahanzhou counties, and Lu Buqi believes that the lord can also see it, but in fact, he has no great ambitions, so what if he gave him Qingzhou?" It is better to help each other and use it as a strong reinforcement than to be handed over by the lord Yuan Shao? ”
"Shhh Cao Ying thought that Zhang Miao looked unrelenting, and he would regularly force Cheng Yu to apologize on the spot before it was finished, but he didn't expect Zhang Miao to say this. Although Yuan Shao is now Cao Ying's ally, both of them know in their hearts that if the Han Dynasty can be repaid, if there is a change, there will definitely be a war between the two, which is why Cao Ying also agreed to help Lu Bu go to Qingzhou through Yanzhou. It was only at this time that Zhang Miao brought up the old matter again, which made Cao Ying suddenly squint his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "Go on!" ”
"No!" Zhang Miao settled down, saw that Cao Ying listened to his heart, glanced at the east, and continued: "Lu Bushi's tiger, it is needless to say that his people are brave, but if you talk about ambition, in fact, there is none! Otherwise, why did you kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and he was among the scholars? To put it bluntly, it's just that I just want to occupy one side and enjoy it. ”
"Nonsense!" Cheng Yu relieved himself, he was already a little aggrieved by Cao Ying's slightly reproachful eyes just now, but he didn't expect to do things according to Cao Ying's intentions, and he couldn't even get down well, so he couldn't think about it, and when he heard Zhang Miao's words, he actually wanted to persuade Cao Ying to reconcile with Lu Bu, which made Cheng Yu, who had suffered a big loss in Lu Bu's forces, still bear it, and suddenly said angrily: "Zhang Mengzhuo! What is your heart? Don't you want to persuade the lord to reconcile with Lu Bu? Don't! Yan and Qing Erzhou have become an endless trend, where can you, a person with ill intentions, be allowed to make reckless remarks? ”
"Zhong Demo wants to say more, and listen to Meng Zhuo!" Cao Ying was not disgusted by Zhang Miao's words as Cheng Yu expected, but waved his hand thoughtfully, stopped Cheng Yu's words, and motioned for Zhang Miao to continue.
"No!" Zhang Miao glanced at Cheng Yu with a sneer, and continued: "Miao thinks that it is unwise to continue to entangle with Lu Bu in the current Yanzhou form!" ”
