Chapter 9: The Dead
"Dare to disobey." Yuan Wei smiled slightly, and was about to tear off the fire paint seal attached to the brocade box.
"Respectful and slow!" At this moment, a scribe suddenly burst out of the ranks and shouted to stop.
Yuan No's eyes flashed, and he was about to say that he would tear off the fire paint seal first, but before he could make a move, the general Cao Jun who was standing not far from him had already drawn his knife in his hand, and slapped it on the brocade box with a sonorous sound.
Cao Cao's gaze fell on the scribe and asked, "Feng Xiao, why is this?" ”
Bong-hyo? Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao?! Yuan Huo Ran looked back and glanced at the scribe deeply, this person is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, one of the five major strategists under Cao Cao's account? I saw that Guo Jia's talent was not outstanding, and his face was still a little pale, it seems that the records in the history books are not false, Guo Jia does have a habit of taking Wushi San, no wonder he died young.
Guo Jia gave Cao Cao a long look and said, "Lord, I suspect that there is fraud in this." ”
"Fraud?" Cao Cao was originally extremely smart, but after Guo Jia's reminder, he immediately reacted, and said awe-inspiringly, "Are you saying that this box was originally an empty box, and there was no jade seal?" ”
Guo Jia said: "The lord must not be gullible, if there is a jade seal in the box, it will be fine, if there is no jade seal in the box, rumors are spreading in the Japanese army, how can the lord defend himself?" What's even more worrying, if this matter reaches the ears of Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others, they will inevitably become suspicious, and the coalition army will inevitably fall apart. ”
"Ah, if it weren't for Feng Xiao's reminder, I would have almost hit the plan." Cao Cao couldn't help but let out a cold sweat.
At this time, Cao Cao was almost certain that this brocade box must be an empty box, and there was no heirloom jade seal in it, and when he looked at Yuan Fu again, his eyes couldn't help but have a trace of annoyance.
thinks that he Cao Cao prides himself on being resourceful, but today he was almost tricked by a yellow-mouthed child.
Yuan Buqiang calmed down and laughed: "I heard that there is a ghost talent Guo Jia under Cao Gong's account, and his wisdom is the best in the world, but he never thought that he was just boastful and unashamed, which is ridiculous." ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the envoy, what is ridiculous about it?" ”
Yuan Wei waved to the south and said loudly: "My father and the emperor sincerely offered the seal, and removed the emperor's title in order to marry Cao Gong, but Mr. is suspicious, isn't it ridiculous?" ”
"Really?" Guo Jia smiled and asked, "Is Ling Zun really sincere in offering the seal?" ”
"Is this still fake?" Yuan said, "Whether you are sincere or not, you can see when you open the brocade box." ”
"I opened the brocade box, but I fell for your plan." Guo Jia said with a smile, "It's a pity that it is extremely difficult to deceive my lord with such small insect carving skills." ”
"Is it really just a small trick to carve insects?" Yuan Wei looked at Guo Jia, and a strange smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
Guo Jia had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly thought of a possibility, his face changed at that time, and when he was about to remind Cao Cao, he saw a tiger guard who had already entered the tent, and reported loudly: "My lord, Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, the three generals, asked to see me outside the tent, and they all said that they came to congratulate the lord on a happy event." ”
"It's broken!" Guo Jia stomped his feet and sighed, "This must be Yuan Shu's pretense in the name of the lord, saying that he offered the jade seal to the lord to beg for surrender, but Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei came here as witnesses." After speaking, Guo Jia looked at Yuan Fu with a complicated expression, and said, "So far, this person and this brocade box have become a hot potato, and it is difficult to deal with." ”
"What's so hard to deal with?" Xiahoudun drew his sword in his hand and said in a cruel voice, "Kill this guy, and then tell Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei the truth." ”
"No." Guo Jia hurriedly said, "If the general kills this person, Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei will think that the lord will kill people and kill his mouth, intending to secretly hide the jade seal of the country." ”
Xiahou said: "Then hide this guy and the brocade box, and then tell Lu Bu and them that there is no such thing as offering a seal." ”
Guo Jia sighed: "I'm afraid that Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei will not be credulous, and they still think that the main public and private treasures are hiding the jade seal of the country." ”
Xiahoudun looked back at Cao Cao and asked, "Meng De, what do you say?" ”
Cao Cao's little eyes opened suddenly, and he shouted: "I have invited the three generals Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei to enter the account!" After speaking, Cao Cao stared at Yuan No's eyes again, and said word by word, "I want to expose this trick of this yellow-mouthed son in front of Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei in public, and then behead him to sacrifice the flag." ”
Yuan Wei smiled and said, "I will not teach Cao Gong to be disappointed." ”
Cao Cao snorted and shouted: "There are three generals, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, please!" ”
Huwei led the order to go, and after a while, he led a group of generals into the big tent proudly, and the one who walked to the front was a tall and strong general, Yuan Wei measured it visually, this person is two meters tall and in his early twenties, he is really a giant, and he even has to bend down to avoid overturning the big tent when he enters the door.
And in terms of waist circumference alone, this person is not inferior to Xu Chu in the slightest!
Lu Bu! This name flashed in Yuan No's mind, this person must be Lu Bu!
Sure enough, it is Lu Bu among the people, and there is no red among the horses, and only Lu Bu can have such a heroic appearance.
Immediately behind Lu Bu, two more generals entered.
In comparison, the two generals who followed Lu Bu into the big tent looked much more ordinary, although these two generals had the same stature and strength, but as soon as they were covered by Lu Bu's light, they immediately became much more mediocre, so mediocre that others could hardly feel their existence.
"The last general, Lu Bu, see Cao Gong." The person who came was indeed Lu Bu, who bowed to Cao Cao.
"First of all." Cao Cao smiled and said, "Come on, hurry up and take a seat." ”
Even if the Tiger Guards hurriedly moved in a low table, there was a straw mat behind the low table.
"Thank you, Gong Cao." Because of the simplicity of the army, Lu Bu didn't have to take off his boots, and knelt down on the seat, but the two generals who came with him stood behind Lu Bu with a knife, one left and one right.
After a while, the curtain was lifted again, and three more generals entered proudly.
The first military general was about twenty years old, his face was like a full moon, his eyes were like a star, and he had two thick mustaches on his lips, looking heroic and extraordinary.
This person must be Cao Cao's son Sun Ce, who is difficult to compete with.
Sure enough, after the general entered the tent, he gave Cao Cao a long bow and said, "The last general, Sun Ce, meet Cao Gong." ”
"Bo Fu is exempt." Cao Cao grabbed Sun Ce two steps in the first two steps, patted Sun Ce's hand again, and said with a smile, "Wentai has a son like this, enough to laugh at Jiuquan." ”
Sun Ce broke free of Cao Cao's hands without a trace, and said indifferently: "The last general is ashamed." ”
Cao Cao smiled, and said solemnly: "Come on, quickly show General Sun Ce a seat." ”
At that moment, a tiger guard brought a low table and a straw mat and placed them opposite Lu Bu.
Sun Ce gave Lu Bu a long squeeze, Lu Bu knelt down and sat up to salute in return, Sun Ce took a seat, and the two generals who came with him also stood behind Sun Ce according to their swords.
After a while, three more people walked into Cao Cao's tent together.
Yuan Wei glanced at it, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Of these three people, walking in the middle and slightly in the front position is a white-faced man, this person is of ordinary height, not much taller than Yuan No, but what is impressive is his pair of ears, the earlobes are almost hanging down to the shoulders, statue-like, Yuan No has been a human being in two lives, and he has never seen bigger ears than this person.
Come to think of it, this person is the big-eared thief Liu Bei.
Behind Liu Bei, there are two big men in Angzang.
The person on the right has swallow jaws and leopard eyes, and his height is about the same as Xu Chu, so he should be Zhang Fei.
The person on the left is only slightly shorter than Lu Bu, the most impressive thing is his pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, as if he sensed that Yuan Wei was looking at him, the originally narrowed Danyang eyes suddenly opened, and the terrifying cold flame was like a substance, and it shot out at once, Yuan Wei was shocked for a moment, and instinctively avoided his sight.
Guan yu! A name immediately flashed in Yuan No's mind, this person must be Guan Yu!
After entering the account, Liu Bei also bowed to Cao Cao and sang loudly: "Liu Bei see Cao Gong." ”
"Heh, Xuande is exempt from courtesy." Cao Cao smiled and shouted, "Come on, give me a seat." ”
Seeing that Liu Bei's seat was arranged at the bottom of Lu Bu, Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, but Liu Bei walked over quietly, first to Lu Bu and Sun Cetuan, and then knelt behind the low table.
Guan Yu didn't say anything more, and stood behind Liu Bei with Zhang Fei.
Yuan Wei watched coldly, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Guan Yu's narrow phoenix eyes had always stayed on Cao Cao since Liu Bei entered the table.
After Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei took their seats one after another, Cao Cao pointed at Yuan Nor laughed and said: "There is another person here, but I haven't had time to introduce him to the princes, this person is the envoy of Yuan Shu and the eldest son of Yuan Shu, Yuan No." ”
Yuan No, he shook his head and said without being arrogant or humble: "Yuan No, I have seen three envoys. ”
In order to induce Lu Bu, Sun Ce and Liu Bei to send troops, Cao Cao has pretended to be in the name of the Son of Heaven and divided the three people into Xuzhou Mu, Yangzhou Mu and Yuzhou Thorn History, so Yuan called the three people the envoy, there is nothing wrong with etiquette, but it is somewhat ironic.
Yuan did this, which can be regarded as a little disgusting Cao Cao.
Sure enough, Lu Bu's face immediately showed displeasure, and Sun Ce also threw a cold glance at Yuan No, only Liu Bei sat up straight and gave Yuan No a salute back, saying that he didn't dare.
Cao Cao frowned, but still said, "Come on, show Yuan Gongzi a seat." ”
At that moment, a tiger guard brought a few low straw mats and placed them under Sun Ce, and Yuan Wei happily sat down.
Cao Cao then beckoned, and a tiger guard carried two jars of turbid wine into the tent and distributed wine to everyone present.
Yuan Wei didn't wait for Cao Cao to speak, so he drank a bottle of wine by himself and praised: "Good wine, it is indeed good wine." ”
No one found out that before Yuan Wei drank alcohol, he sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder into the wine bottle without a trace.
Lu Buyong was the world, but he was the least scheming, and glanced at Yuan Wei with disdain, and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, Yuan Shu is at the end of his rope, and he has indeed presented the jade seal of the country to Cao Gong to beg for surrender, although he has been in Luoyang for many years, he has never seen the true face of the jade seal, why doesn't Cao Gong give out the jade seal, let me wait to open my eyes?" ”
Yuan Fu's gaze immediately turned to Sun Ce, who was sitting above him.
