Two hundred and fifty-three times back to Jianye
Ten miles outside the city, Wu and Han each brought soldiers and horses to join the alliance in the center. And the most critical Liu Bei and Qiao Ren were stationed on the side of Ma Xing accompanied by Guan Yu and Tai Shici.
No matter how casual Liu Bei is, he is also a hegemon, His Royal Highness the King of Hanzhong, Qiao Ren is much older, Qiao Ren is really embarrassed to make things difficult, and Qiao Ren also came to the alliance sincerely, so he chose to speak first.
"The king is majestic, and Ren sincerely admires him when he sees him this time."
"Hanyang Hou, young and promising, capable of literature and martial arts, lonely has been admired for a long time."
It's not the first time the two have met, they are so polite, and sure enough, politics is three parts true and seven points false. The two chattered for a while, and Qiao Ren also specially explained that he married a daughter before because the child was too young to bear to stay away, and if the King of Han had the intention of marrying Qin and Jin in the future, he Qiao Ren also had a young son.
After a few words of pretended greetings, Qiao Ren was finally ready to get to the point. "A few days ago, the generals Mi Fang and Liu Pan of Nanjun returned Nanjun to our king on behalf of King Han, and I really admired it in my heart. After the two sides of the two sides had a relationship, all because of Cao Cao, Ren is not very afraid, today and the king of Han to meet, deliberately released the previous suspicion to make an appointment with Cao, Kuang Fu Han room, Zhongxing Han Qi, restore the world a bright future. ”
"The gentleman is gracious, and the lonely is very happy." Liu Bei will still talk about the scene, although Qiao Ren is not bullshit, but Liu Bei is neither angry nor colorful, but instead beats the snake and says: "The lonely subordinates Xu Shu and Chen Zhi are guests in Jiangling, I don't know if you know it!" ”
Xu Shu and Chen Zhi were all captured by the Wu army, and there were many others who surrendered, but Liu Bei was embarrassed to ask for those Han generals who surrendered, and he wouldn't give it to Qiao Ren if he asked for it, even if he gave it to Liu Bei, it was not easy to deal with it, so he didn't mention it if he couldn't mention it.
"Oh, it's true, Mr. Xu and General Chen are really rude to return late in Jiangling, so let's do it, after Ren returns to Jiangling, he will mention the king to urge one or two, how about it? Ha ha!! ”
Looking at Qiao Ren who was pretending, Guan Yu hated it so much, but the situation was not in me, and Tai Shici in front of him was still forcibly pulling himself to reminisce, Guan Yu was not easy to get mad, so he had to lower his red face and Tai Shici who was broken by Pang De and nonsense.
"It is very good, very good. I don't know..." Before Liu Bei's words could start, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Qiao Ren.
"Don't worry, the king is in a hurry, it is a blessing for the two sides to re-form an alliance between you and me, and what the leaders of the world are looking forward to, how can it be perfunctory and sloppy. Today, the king and the ministers only talk ordinarily, my king has sent Zhuge Ziyu to take full charge of the covenant, and then the king and Ziyu will discuss it, okay? Ziyu and Dawang are also acquaintances, so it's easier to talk about it when they come and go! "Qiao Ren doesn't have the right to make peace with Liu Bei, but he is already in a position of right and wrong and an embarrassing place in Dongwu, if he can't mix more, he won't mix more, just do a good job of the tasks given by Sun Ce, a typical situation of not seeking merit but seeking no fault.
"Oh good! Where is that Ziyu? "Liu Bei is not a fool, of course he knows Qiao Ren's concerns, and when he talks to Qiao Ren, who is domineering, has great achievements, and has only defeated him, he is not as happy as talking to an old acquaintance, Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, and a good old man, Zhuge Jin.
························································
The most important thing in peace talks is mutual understanding, after all, it is not an alliance under the city. It's just that that's already Zhuge Jin's business, and Qiao Ren has already sat on Gan Ning's battleship at this time and turned around Jianye.
The title of Governor Jing Yang and Yiyu Sizhou Military was also lowered, leaving only the post of leading general. As for the original army gathered in Jingzhou, except for the middle base battalion, Wei Yan's Wuwei army, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's water army, the rest were all Jingzhou's original army, which was naturally taken care of by Lu Meng, the governor of Jingzhou, and Qiao Ren didn't want to care.
And the middle base battalion returned with Qiao Ren, but Sun Huan, the captain of the middle base, stayed in Xiangyang, and it was time to reappoint General Fubo as Zhu Ran's deputy, and Qiao Ren did not plan to interfere in the vacated position of captain of the middle base, and was ready to hand it over to Sun Ce. It's not that Qiao Ren is selfless, but that the original Wuwei general Wei Yan is too strange, and he really sent a letter to the Imperial History Observatory to tell Qiao Ren to disregard the military situation and dispose of the general at will.
Although Gu Yong, the prefect of the Imperial History Observatory, is Qiao Ren's teacher, it can be said that the actual boss of the officials is Cheng Yu in the Imperial History, and he is an upright old master, no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, it must be unpleasant for both sides, after all, a slap can't be slapped. Therefore, in order to reduce the rotten eggs on his body, Qiao Ren did not plan to interfere in the selection of the captain of the base, and only reserved his right to make a suggestion.
"Jun Hou, King Wei! Go! In the cabin, Qiao Renben and Huang Quan were playing against each other, and suddenly Jiang Ji grabbed the door and held the latest information in his hand.
"What?" The sunspot in Qiao Ren's hand was so shocked that it accidentally fell on the chessboard, although Qiao Ren knew that Cao Cao would not live more than twenty-five years of Jian'an, but he didn't expect to die in the first month. Pinching his fingers, it is now the middle of February of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, and in terms of the distance from Yecheng to Jiangdong, Cao Cao did not live past the first month. "Wei Wu whipped and pointed out the world of war, and the king of Wei went! The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the big man is gone! ”
"What do you mean by that?" Huang Quan also put down the white son in his hand at this time, and asked Qiao Ren, in his opinion, Cao Cao didn't seem to have such great energy.
"Haha!" Qiao Ren smiled slightly, and he didn't blame Huang Quan, after all, he had been locked up for so many years, how could he be so clear about the general trend of the world. "People's hearts have long been out of mind, and the world has never been settled. Once the Lord of Wei rode the wind, the two kings of the southwest ended up in the sky. It is inevitable to represent Han, the master book! ”
"What!?" Huang Quan was taken aback, and he couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open. "Cao Pi wants to usurp the Han."
"Since the Luoyang Rebellion (Dong Zhuo's rebellion in Luoyang), the world is no longer owned by the Han family, there is a way that Qin lost his deer and the world chased it, and the Han Dynasty could not escape this reincarnation." Jiang Ji received it casually.
But Qiao Ren didn't want to discuss this topic, Cao Cao was dead, but I am afraid that Cao Cao was not the only one who died. Jianye's letter clearly said that Zhou Yu was about to die, and he could only live on a glass of rice wine every day; On the other side, Lu Su's old illness suddenly broke out, and even Zhang Ji couldn't get him back, although it was a sudden illness, it was not as long as Zhou Yu. Then Lian San's accident caused Sun Ce to be sick, but fortunately, it was not a big deal, Zhang Ji's diagnosis said that he was just a little depressed and injured his body, plus indulgence, and his body was weak.
However, as soon as Sun Ce fell ill, this series of reactions came out, Prime Minister Sun Shao actually broke his hand while riding a horse at this time, and he couldn't manage the government, Gu Yong, who was sitting in Shangshutai, sent three urgent letters in a row urging Qiao Ren to return to Jianye to preside over the overall situation. He even told him that Sun Ce signed the appointment appointing Qiao Ren to make decisions on military affairs on the sickbed, which immediately made Qiao Ren feel a lot of pressure!
"Ke'er, how many days are you still away from Jianye?"
Zhuge Ke was originally watching chess in the house, and replied unhurriedly at this time: "Back to Junhou, General Gan said that there is still one day to arrive in Jianye." ”
"Good! Good! Qiao Ren let out a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "Zizhang, send a letter to Ziwei of Huaiyin in the name of Lone, asking him to attack Shouchun as appropriate!" ”
"Whoa!"
"What is the purpose of the king?" Jiang Ji was quite puzzled, Qiao Ren and Cao Cao in the west saw each other very happily, how could they become enemies again in a blink of an eye.
"Zitong, you have listened to Xiahoudun's tent, you know the relationship between Xiahoudun and Cao Cao!"
"Like brothers!"
Qiao Ren rarely squeezed out a smile at this time, and said, "Cao Cao died of illness, Xiahoudun will either have to go back to Yecheng to mourn, or he will become ill with grief, so Gu Yao Ziwei will attack Shouchun as appropriate, and take this opportunity to take a bridgehead on the Huainan front in my Jiangdong." In this way, our east and west two fronts are all in the hands of our army, and the attack and defense are as they please. ”
