"The eldest princess will be handed over to her nephew, and I hope to take care of it."

Look at this, it seems that Qiao Ren's own daughter-in-law will be abused. But Qiao Ren knew that he was from the next generation, so he naturally knew that Liu Xie's fate was okay, and it took more than ten years for Cao Pi to die of illness after he usurped the Han Dynasty, and he lived longer than Cao Pi, and Cao Rui was also honored after his death according to the emperor's standards. The treatment before his death and the honor after death are the first-class among the kings of the dead country (it is true that no king of the dead country is treated better than him). But that is all after Cao Ying's death, how can he know that throughout the previous dynasties and the last emperors did not have a good end, Cao Ying was also afraid that Cao Pi would ruthlessly disregard the friendship between his sister and brother and harm Liu Xie's family, so he sent Liu Xie's eldest daughter and his favorite granddaughter to Dongwu, which can be regarded as leaving a little blood for Liu Xie, although it is a woman, it is better than nothing.

Looking at the innocent Liu Man in front of him and the wise and calm Cao Rui on the side, Qiao Ren didn't know what it was like in his heart. "Uncle Shi rest assured, Ren will treat Man'er as his own daughter."

"Good!" Cao Ying was relieved, scooped a glass of wine and handed it to Qiao Ren, "When you sing about wine, life is geometric." It's a pity that the good time is running out, and when it comes to business, the lonely king can give you all of Xiangyang, Yidu, and Nanjun. ”

It is said that the benefit is westward, and the faint light elongates the figure. Three thousand mixed guards escorted Qiao Ren and slowly retreated towards Maicheng, where they had to rest for a while before returning to Gangneung.

"Jun Hou, what did King Wei say?" As Qiao Ren's mastermind, Jiang Ji did not wait for news in Jiangling, but came to Maicheng with the army and waited for Qiao Ren to come back in the city.

"King Wei doesn't want to form an alliance with us! But we want to send Xiangyang County to us. ”

Jiang Ji's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "You don't need us to do anything, just send Xiangyang County to us?" ”

"Hmm!"

"To drive the tiger and devour the wolf, this must be a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf." Jiang Ji said very firmly.

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

"Jun wait, do you think, the King of Wei gave Xiangyang County to my Great Wu for no reason, and this news is known to Liu Bei, what will he think? I am afraid that the world will think that our army has formed an alliance with the King of Wei, and the purpose is to jointly resist Liu Bei. Jun Hou, Cao Ren has been attacking Shangyong, and our army took over Xiangyang County at this time, which is tantamount to cutting off Liu Bei's rescue road to the north and trapping Shangyong to death. ”

Qiao Ren thought that this was indeed the case, Xiangyang was to Jingbei what Shouchun was to Huainan, and it was a gateway-like place. Between Shouchun and Xiangyang is the endless mountains (Dabie Mountain) and the Huai River and Xiangshui, if you don't go to Xiangyang, Liu Bei will return to Shuzhong and Hanzhong?

"That's true, then how do you say we are making peace with Liu Beiyan?" The last thing Qiao Ren wanted was this hand.

"No, the king of Wei will preach the matter of the meeting between the king of Wei and the king of Wei, and when the world thinks that Wu and Wei are allied, even if the king sends an envoy to Liu Bei to make peace, Liu Bei will only think that you are delaying the time, so that the ally King Wei can easily take the three eastern counties and coerce Hanzhong. And the king should know that Xiangyang is the gateway to the south Guan Yu has always wanted to take it, if Liu Bei wants to go north into the Central Plains, it is nothing more than taking advantage of the changes in the world, personally leading the main force out of Qinchuan, sending a general to Xiangfan, and taking the land of Chang'an and Xu Luo. There is no other way, if you rely on Hanzhong to go north out of Qinchuan, there can be no threat, so Liu Bei will definitely covet Xiangyang. And our army has just turned against it, if Liu Xuande is not stupid, he will definitely use the topic to play and seize Nanjun and Xiangyang County. ”

"It seems that the only way to send Liu Xuande back to Shuzhong is to beat him back!" Qiao Ren thought about it and felt that it was still feasible, with Xiangyang Liu Bei as an ally, it was really not very useful, as long as he could keep Yizhou and hold the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, anyway, if he disabled Liu Bei, he would still lick his face to form an alliance. And who told him not to send an envoy all the time, and now the king of Wei gave a price that Qiao Ren couldn't refuse.

"General, there is something wrong with Quan." Huang Quan listened to Jiang Ji and Qiao Ren talk for a long time and didn't interject, because he knew that although he was Qiao Ren's long history, he was a newcomer.

"Oh? Please speak! ”

"Is King Wei credible? Why did he send the land of Xiangyang to King Wu. Huang Quan has not yet changed his role, and in his speech, he unconsciously called Sun Ce the king of Wu, not my king and the supreme.

"King Wei's life is not long in coming." When Qiao Ren saw Cao Ying, he could say unashamedly: "Gu knows some medical skills, and the King of Guan Wei is already terminally ill, and he will never be able to pass the first month of next year." Now it's October, and you have to walk at least two months from Xiangyang to Yecheng, if the king of Wei dies in a different place, the defense is unstable and Yecheng has changed. Therefore, King Wei just wants to return to Yecheng as soon as possible, and the mess in Jingzhou is more important than the foundation of the north of Xiangyang. ”

Cao Ying did die in the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, and Cao Ying rushed back not to die in Yecheng, but to arrange the aftermath, designate the relatives to trust the orphans, and then personally confirm Cao Pi as the heir, so as to avoid the scourge of internal strife in the clan.

"The matter of receiving Xiangyang is urgent, and the general will see if General Wei of Dangyang will take over Xiangyang County." Huang Quan suggested that he didn't know that Wei Yan and Qiao Ren were a little conflicted, but looking at Jiang Ji and Luo Tong's strange eyes, he always felt as if he had said something wrong.

"No!" Qiao Ren refused on the spot Although Wei Yan has the ability to guard Xiangyang, his surname is flawed, if he is alone like Hanzhong, but Jingxiang is a whole, and it is bound to be difficult for him to get along with Lu Meng. "Sun Huan obeys the order, you first take the middle base camp of 2,000 to take over Xiangyang County first, and then order Zhu Ran to bring the army to come, with Zhu Ran as the Xiangyang Taishou and you are temporarily the deputy to guard Xiangyang, and the king of Wei will not send Fancheng to us together, you have to be careful not to slack off. In addition, the Lone Society handed over the 8,000 soldiers and horses under Rui Xuan to Zhu Ran. ”

Zhu Ran already had 3,000 people, plus Rui Xuan's 8,000 soldiers were enough to defend Xiangyang. Sun Huan's ability is good, he is one of the most qualified clansmen in the younger generation, it is worth cultivating, Qiao Ren is ready to let him train in Xiangyang, but the middle base camp is Sun Ce's Chinese army cannot stay in Jingzhou all the time, so after the war in Jingbei is over, Sun Huan is afraid that there will be a new appointment.

As for Rui Xuan, he himself is a civilian official, and the troops under his command are not his troops, but Sun Ce allocated to him, and he has nothing to object to. Besides, he himself is not good at fighting, otherwise there will be no legend in the later generations, not only him, but the official positions of the father and son of their Rui family are not low, but they can only appear in other people's biographies. His father Rui Zhi successively served as the Taishou of Jiujiang and Wujun, where there is a reputation for governance, and his brother is also good at governance, and although he himself has not many subordinates, he has never participated in the war, and even the battle of Chibi is only in Jingnan Anmin, which shows that he does not have any military talent, and it is better to be at ease when he is assassinated.

"Whoa! General, what about the eldest princess? "Sun Huan, as Qiao Ren's part-time guard captain, is very worried about the eldest princess's departure.

It turned out that after the secret meeting with Cao Ying ended, the porcelain doll-like eldest princess Her Royal Highness had been handed over to Qiao Ren by his maternal grandfather Cao Ying, and he also gave Sun Huan a full set of the eldest princess's honor guard.

"Man'er?" Qiao Ren patted his chest and said to Cao Ying that he would treat her as his daughter, and with Cao Ying's attitude towards Qiao Xuan's will, Qiao Ren did not treat Liu Man badly. "Unfold the guard of honor, be escorted back to Jianye by General Su Fei, and hand it over to the fourth lady of the lonely (Xu's)"

For the happiness of his good son, Qiao Ren didn't dare to hand over Liu Man to Sun Shangxiang, Qiao Ren's eldest daughter Qiao Ling was already quite domineering, if she gave Her Royal Highness the princess again... Qiao Ren's father and son didn't cry.

"Okay, how about a certain family go and inform Brother Su and tell him to get the ship ready, and use Lu Dudu's flagship? That's magnificent, and it will never insult Xiao Qiao Sheng's majesty! Gan Ning, who came out of the sequelae of the battle with Xu Chu's momentum ----- malaise, immediately said loudly.

"Whose majesty? My God, it seems that more than one person wants to train Liu Man to be the next Sun Shangxiang!! ”
