"Champion Hou, you can't!" As soon as Liu Zhang's words came out, Zhang Hong was shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf Liu Zhang also joins the ranks of dealing with Jiangdong, Jiangdong will really have no hope!

"Why not?" Liu Zhang said with a smile; "The conditions offered by both families are women, so I naturally want to choose gentle and graceful beauties. You must know that even Mrs. Zhurong is as gentle as water, but she is very fierce to others! If you want to change and ask for a change, she is enough, why bother to bring another back? Besides, exchanging two beauties for one should be more calculated, it depends on whether Cao Mengde is on the road or not! ”

"Up, definitely on!" I'm not afraid that Liu Zhang will open a high price, but I'm afraid that Liu Zhang will directly deny it. For the truth of asking for money on the spot, how can a full favor as an envoy not understand? I saw him point his head like a chicken pecking rice!

"Don't plan to bargain with me, I made a condition, and Cao Ying has to fulfill it, otherwise I don't mind going back on my word!" Liu Zhang looked at Man Chong coldly and said: "I gave Cao Ying a month, if the two girls didn't send it after a month, then I'm sorry!" ”

"This..."Man Pet said with some hesitation: "The third lady is fine, but General Xiahou's beloved daughter is..."

"Feng Xiao, send an order to Zhang He, let him do his best to fight Jizhou, stand by the Yellow River, and then order Zhou Yu and Gan Ning to lead the naval army and prepare for war in the Yellow River." Li ignored the full favor, Liu Zhang directly ordered, and everyone was taken aback.

"Yes!" Guo Jia was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Lord, General Gan has already been prepared, and as for General Zhang He, he is also eager to try, and he will wait for him!" ”

"Champion Hou, aren't you robbing it openly?" Man Chong said anxiously: "This kind of big thing, naturally we have to discuss it, and then..."

"I'm just a thief! Now it's Cao Ying begging me, not me begging Cao Ying! Liu Zhang sneered: "If you want to delay time, do you really think I am a fool?" ”

"Champion Hou Xiongcai is very talented, who dares to be a fool when you are!" Seeing Liu Zhang's purpose of explaining Cao Ying, Man Chong hurriedly said with a smile: "You also know, General Xiahou..."

"That's it! You do not have to explain! Liu Zhang said: "Since I have already given the order, I will not change my words." What to do, it depends on Cao Ying's choice! You know, you don't joke! ”

"Champion Hou, and allow me to contact the lord, okay?" Full of helplessness, he can only choose to be obedient.

"It's your business!" Liu Zhang picked up the tea bowl and said, "Come on, send it to adults!" ”

"Wait!" Man Zhong smiled: "Since the champion Hou chose to cooperate with my father-in-law, why not take Zhang Hong as a return gift..."

"Man Boning, I know that you have a good relationship with Ziyang and Fengxiao, but you have to remember that you and I are hostile! If you challenge my patience again, I don't mind killing you and letting Cao Ying come with another messenger! Only a fool like Lu Bu would do what he shouldn't do when the dust is unsettled! Besides, Cao Ying is currying favor with me now, what qualifications do you have to get me back? Liu Zhang's face was indifferent, but he couldn't hide the chill in his words.

"Yes, under the confession!" A burst of coercion came from Liu Zhang, and Man Chong hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm going to say goodbye!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Zhang snorted and said, "Send it to the full adult!" ”

Under the guidance of the servants, Man Zhong walked out of the city guard mansion, and the moment he left the mansion, he actually had a feeling of prostration, even in the face of Cao Ying, he didn't have so much pressure. Touching his cold back, he hurriedly returned to the post house, wrote Liu Zhang's request into a song, and sent it to Misukou overnight. Of course, from Wuwei to Weixukou, in addition to Liu Zhang's territory along the way, it was Cao Ying's territory, and he was not afraid of losing letters.

"Champion Hou, how can you promise Cao Ying!" After the full pet left, Zhang Hong knelt on the ground and said: "Cao Mengde controls the land of the five states, and he is a wolf with ambition, how can you be in the same stream with him?" ”

"Who said I was going to be with him?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Flowing with Cao Ying, isn't it seeking skin with the tiger?" He wants to delay me, why don't I want to hold him back, otherwise you think you can still stand here? ”

"This..."Zhang Hong asked a little puzzled: "What does Champion Hou mean?" ”

Liu Zhang said: "The conditions in Jiangdong remain the same, since Miss Sun admires me, she will be sent to me." As for the other conditions, Guo Jia and Jia Xu will talk to you, and after the negotiation is completed, Cao Ying will almost send the two daughters here. When the time comes, I will order Jizhou to send troops! ”

"This..."Although Cao Ying was an enemy, he was also a little surprised when he heard that Liu Zhang was going to be treacherous, and he couldn't help asking: "Champion Hou, if you really do that, it will be bad for your reputation..."

"Reputation?" Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Zigang, you're not so naïve!" Soldiers are not tired of cheating, and if I deceive Cao Ying and two women, I will damage my reputation? With my identity, even if I kill people and rob women, what is it? You don't have to worry about anything else, when Cao Ying sends the woman here, I will order someone to take Sun Shangxiang into Yizhou in a sedan chair. Ready! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Hong has been in Wuwei for more than a month, and he has long known Liu Zhang's surname. He can only answer the order, so as not to make Liu Zhang unhappy and cause the plan to fail!

"That's it! Now that Master Zhang knows my plan, please go and prepare! Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I also hope that you don't spoil my good deeds, otherwise if I really join forces with Cao Ying, Jiangdong will not be able to eat, and I will go around!" Don't think it's difficult for me to send troops to Jiangdong, I still have no less than 50,000 troops in Yizhou, and I can even order Nanban and Wuxi to send troops! ”

"I understand it below!" Zhang Hong is not stupid, Liu Zhang lied to Cao Ying about his, he is only responsible for Jiangdong not being destroyed. After bowing, Zhang Hong also left, and he had to write back to Jiangdong to ask Sun Quan to prepare Sun Shangxiang's dowry.

"My lord, why did you think of courting for Yide?" The outsiders are gone, and Guo Jia's heart is burning with a fire of gossip.

"Want to know?" Liu Zhang asked lightly, Guo Jia nodded vigorously, but he said narrowly: "I won't tell you!" ”

"Uh..."Guo Jia said: "If the lord doesn't say, I'll ask Wenhe!" Wenhe, you are the best at figuring out people's hearts, tell me what is going on? ”

"Isn't that easy?" Jia Xu smiled and said: "Among the generals under the lord's command, except for Yide, who doesn't have a wife?" You know, Yide is the same age as the lord, can the lord not care? ”

"What is the reason!" Guo Jia said disdainfully: "Yuan Zhi and Gong Jin don't have wives, aren't they the people the lord cares about?" ”

"Cut..."Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia disdainfully and said: "It's a shame that you are still in charge of intelligence, Yuan Zhi and Gongjin already have masters, don't you know?" ”

"Huh?" As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, even Liu Zhang was stunned, and Guo Jia asked with great interest: "Do Yuan Zhi and Gongjin have a goal?" Tell me who it is? ”

"Want to know?" Jia Xu also smiled faintly, and said suddenly: "I won't tell you!" ”

"Uh..." I didn't expect to follow Liu Zhang for a long time, and Jia Xu also learned so quickly, Guo Jia almost fell, he muttered: "If you don't say it, don't say it, won't I go through the information?" ”

"That's pretty bad!" Jia Xu smiled: "I have burned the information, except for me, no one knows for the time being." ”

"Wenhe, you're too ruthless!" Liu Zhang looked helpless when he heard this, he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out, who would have expected Jia Xu to be tight-lipped like a bottle!

"The lord calls me a poisoner, how can I be ruthless?" Jia Xu was not ashamed, but proud, and the smug look on his face made Liu Zhang feel the urge to smoke him.

"If you don't say it, forget it!" Liu Zhang said: "Fengxiao, I order you to keep an eye on Yuan Zhi and Gong Jin, and be sure to find out whose women they have had a secret relationship with!" Unexpectedly, these two boys' sense of secrecy is really good, and even I was kept in the dark. ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia was very gossipy and said: "Not only is the lord, I am not the same." As the head of the intelligence department, it is a dereliction of duty not to even find such important information! ”

"Then go check it out!" Liu Zhang smiled and waved his hand, letting the two retreat.

Ten days later, Cao Ying received a report from Manchu. heard that Liu Zhang not only wanted his daughter, but also Xiahou Yuan's daughter to be Zhang Fei's wife, but he was a little helpless. Although the situation is stronger than people, he has to sell his daughter, but let him betray his brother and the daughter of his subordinates for his own great cause, he can't do it!

"Prime Minister, are you looking for me?" Cheng Yu is Cao Ying's most trusted strategist, and now that there is something difficult to decide, Cao Ying will naturally not forget him.

"Zhongde! I won't say more nonsense, see for yourself! Cao Ying leaned on the couch and hummed, with a headband wrapped around his head, obviously suffering from a head stroke again. He pointed to the low table next to the couch, on which were full of pampered letters.

"Prime Minister, this matter is not difficult!" Cheng Yu said: "If the prime minister goes to see General Xiahou in person, he will probably not refuse." For the sake of the great cause, why not a daughter! ”

"Zhongde, Miaocai has been with me for half his life, and he has dedicated almost everything to me. Now, I want him to sacrifice his daughter, how do you want me to speak? Cao Ying leaned on the couch, his face was full of pain, and he didn't know if it was because of the head wind, but he still wanted to persuade Xiahou Yuan to give her daughter.

"Prime Minister, General Xiahou will be considerate of you!" Cheng Yu was also a little depressed, he really didn't understand why Liu Zhang wanted to propose to Zhang Fei, or to mention Xiahou Yuan's young daughter.

"Zhongde, I really don't have the shame to see the talent, why don't you take a trip? Of course, if Miaocai doesn't agree, I don't force it! "Cao Ying is a hero, but he is still good to his own people, even if sometimes, he will use some means, but it is harmless.

"This..."Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it!" The lord humiliated the ministers to death, since the prime minister can't come forward, let me go to see General Xiahou! ”

"Thank you Zhongde!" Cao Ying arched his hand and said: "If Miaocai agrees, according to Liu Zhang's words, the second daughter will be sent to Chang'an." If he doesn't agree, let him rearm and fight to meet Liu Zhang's attack! ”

"Prime Minister, I think it's better for you to go and meet General Xiahou in person!" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "General Xiahou is a brilliant person, how can he be a person who doesn't understand reason?" ”

"This..."Cao Ying rubbed his head, thought for a while and said: "According to Zhongde's words, when we return to Shouchun, who will be in charge of the camp?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Zitong and Gongda are all talented, and Gongming is also a general, and the lord will hand over the camp to the three of them, there should be no problem!" ”

"Since Zhongde said that the three of them can, let them be!" Cao Ying struggled to sit up and said, "Zhongde, let people prepare the carriage and horses, and we will go back to Shouchun." ”

"Obey the Lord's orders!" Cheng Yu bowed slightly and left the big tent. As for Cao Ying's head wind, whether he can hurry or not is not within his consideration. As Cao Ying's old subordinate, he knows the onset of head wind disease, as long as there is an unsolvable annoyance, he will have an attack!

In the evening, a carriage quietly drove out of the Cao army camp under the protection of more than 1,000 guards. On the car sat Cao Ying, who was full of sick faces, and Cheng Yu, who was fluttering in green clothes, and the coachman was a big man with a tiger's back, and it was Xu Chu. The dust was flying, and the carriage was driving towards Shouchun in the setting sun.

Shouchun was not far from the mouth of the wet beard, and he traveled overnight and arrived at noon the next day. After arriving in Shouchun, Cao Ying and Cheng Yu washed themselves, and then invited Xiahou Yuan to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Looking at Cao Ying, who was full of sickness, and then at Cheng Yu, who had a tired face, Xiahou Yuan asked with a smile: "Big brother, Mr. Cheng, why are you back?" ”

"I don't want to come back either!" Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "Miaocai, I'm sorry for you for my brother!" ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Yuan asked a little puzzled: "Big brother, why have you ever been sorry for me?" ”

"Alas..."Cao Ying sighed with shame on his face and said, "Please tell you Zhongde!" I can't open my mouth! ”

"Mr. Cheng, what's going on?" After listening to Cao Ying's words, Xiahou Yuan immediately turned his gaze to Cheng Yu, hoping to get an answer.

"Miaocai..."Cheng Yu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Xiahou Yuan and said, "You better read it yourself!" ”

After reading the letter suspiciously, Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened like copper bells, and he exclaimed: "Liu Zhang proposed marriage for Zhang Fei, and he still wants my little daughter?" Are you kidding! ”

"I wish it was a joke, but it's true!" Cao Ying shook his head and sighed deeply!

"Big brother, my little girl is only sixteen years old! Although he can get married, Zhang Fei is in his thirties this year! For Zhang Fei, who tried to eat tender grass from the old cow, Xiahou Yuan was very contemptuous, and he really didn't want to marry his daughter far away!

"Of course I know, I didn't expect Liu Zhang to make such a request, I wanted to let my daughter suffer a little grievance, but I didn't expect..." Miaocai, I know you won't agree, it's better to rearm and wait for Liu Zhang to attack! ”

"What? Liu Zhang is coming? Xiahou Yuan hurriedly read the letter again, and he found out that Cao Ying wanted to use his daughter to contain Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang took the opportunity to ask for his daughter. After hesitating for a long time, Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, I... I agreed! ”

"What?" Cao Ying exclaimed: "Miaocai, are you crazy? Do you know that we will have a decisive battle with Liu Zhang one day, if Juan'er marries Zhang Fei, she will be in the future..."

"Big brother, don't say it!" Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "For the sake of the eldest brother's country, I am even willing to give up my surname, let alone a daughter?" As long as I can contain Liu Zhang, even if I want to tie myself to the door, what's the matter..."
