Chapter Twenty-Three: Cao Cao Rises to Attack Xuzhou! (b)
Xiu'er and Cai Yan watched Jiang Zhe come back angrily in surprise, and glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts and worries.
As the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Xiu'er fulfilled her obligations and powers in a timely manner, smiled and stepped forward to see Jiang Zhe change her long shirt, and said softly, "Husband, what's wrong?" Why is it so pale? ”
"Alas! Don't say it! Jiang Zhe shook his head and walked to the table and sat down.
Xiu'er stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhe, and said quietly, "Husband is like this, doesn't it make the concubine and sister worry?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe looked at the two girls in astonishment, laughed and said, "I'm worried about some things, what do you have to worry about?" ”
"Husband is the ...... of heaven that we are waiting for" Cai Yan said quietly, which immediately made Jiang Zhe stunned.
"Come on, come on!" Jiang Zhe patted the chair beside him and beckoned the two girls over, "Alas! Meng De's father died at the hands of Tao Tingshi's subordinates, and he wanted to attack Xuzhou! ”
"Yikes!" Xiu'er exclaimed, covered her mouth and said, "That sister Zhen'er is not ......"
It turned out that Jiang Zhe asked Fang Yue to help Cao Ying in the morning, he wanted to go back to Xuzhou, but he didn't want to get lost in Yingchuan, and Fang Yue said goodbye to Cao Ying and went to Xuzhou to find Jiang Zhe.
When Fang Yue arrived in Xuzhou, he found that Jiang Zhe had not come back at all, and later heard that Jiang Zhe was a strategist under Cao Ying, so he came to Yanzhou again, but when he came, he brought a letter from Tao Qian and Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu's letter naturally asked his sister Mi Zhen to return to Xuzhou, as for Tao Qian's letter, anyway, Tao Ying's face didn't seem to be a good after reading it.
So Jiang Zhe asked Fang Yue to accompany Tao Ying and Mi Zhen back to Xuzhou, and they could take care of each other on the way, who knew that this matter would happen now?
"What are you going to do?" Xiu'er hesitated and asked, "Mr. Chen is also ...... in Xuzhou."
Jiang Zhe hesitated, looked at the two women, and said, "What do you say?" ”
"Huh?" Cai Yan glanced at Jiang Zhe in surprise, and said suspiciously, "Husband, is ...... Are you asking your sister and concubine's opinion? ”
"Dizzy!" Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "It's just the two of you here, I won't talk to you and the wall?" ”
"No...... That's not what the concubine meant......" Cai Yan hung his head and stopped talking.
Xiu'er glanced at Cai Yan and smiled slightly in her heart, she didn't know what kind of person her husband was! Thinking like this, I suddenly felt a little proud in my heart, "Husband, how can the concubine be the master of such a big event, the husband will make his own decision, and the concubine will accompany the husband's ......"
"The concubine body is also ......," Cai Yan said weakly.
Jiang Zhe sighed, and he didn't know what he was feeling at the moment, but one thing he was sure of was that it was a great blessing to get such two gentle and virtuous wives!
"Why don't I go back?" Looking at the two women, Jiang Zhe said.
"Shouyi!" Suddenly, someone called out the door.
Jiang Zhe's face changed slightly, he could hear that it was Cao Ying's voice, hesitated, Jiang Zhe went and opened the door.
Xiu'er and Cai Yan glanced at each other and went to the inner room.
Opening the door, Jiang Zhe glanced at the person outside the door lightly, and suddenly froze.
I saw that Cao Ying's hair and clothes were all soaked, but he was still standing in the rain.
"Huh!" Cao Ying said as if he didn't care at all, "I didn't expect it to rain when I came out...... Hehe! ”
Jiang Zhe took a deep look at Cao Ying and said, "Zhezhi's mansion is not far from the Assassin's Mansion, and it is said that it was chosen ......by Meng De himself."
“…… Yes? Cao Ying's face was suddenly embarrassed, and he said with a wry smile, "I still can't hide Shouyi, I have no face to Shouyi, and if I leave, I will be unwilling to ......" After a deep groan, Cao Ying glanced at Jiang Zhe, sighed and said, "If it weren't for Shouyi, you said in the house, 'It's better to go back', and you don't know how long you want to stand here......"
“…… Let's talk about it first! Jiang Zhe invited Cao Ying in, the cold wind at night was biting, and his clothes were all soaked, Cao Ying's lips were blue from the cold, but he was still sonorous and powerful when he spoke.
Throwing a few sticks of firewood into the brazier, Jiang Zhe lit the fire, and then placed the brazier beside Cao Ying.
"Xiu'er!" Jiang Zhe shouted to the inner room, "Take the long shirt on the couch!" ”
"Yes! Husband! Xiu'er answered in the inner room, and then Yingying walked out and handed the clothes in her hand to Jiang Zhe.
Looking at the long shirt handed to him, Cao Ying looked at Jiang Zhe deeply and said, "Shouyi, can you forgive you?" ”
"......" Jiang Zheyi frowned and said, "Put it on first!" ”
Cao Ying smiled bitterly, took the robe and put it on, and heard Jiang Zhe say, "Xiu'er, get some wine and food!" ”
"Yes!" Xiu'er bowed her head and walked back.
It didn't take long for Xiu'er to prepare a table of wine and food, and then went back to the inner room.
Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Cao Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Shouyi, do you really not forgive you?" ”
"Mengde!" Jiang Zhe poured a glass of wine for Cao Ying, poured it for himself, and said in a deep voice, "When you talked about your ambition in Luoyang, how did you say it?" ”
"When?" Cao Ying thought about it carefully and said with a smile, "When you say that you are still afraid of righteous jokes, you don't dare to say it to you, when you say that your ambition is to calm the chaos in the world and help the Han family!" Righteousness is what you say...... ...... you say" As he spoke, Cao Ying was stunned.
"Philosopher, if Mengde's ambition remains the same! Jedang is here to help! Jiang Zhe said lightly.
Cao Ying smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the cup, shook his head and said, "Zhicai and the others are right, I think it was because Jie angered Shouyi this time......
"What is the anger of the philosopher?" Jiang Zhe took a sip of wine, looked at the wine glass and said, "Zhe said earlier that if the court is a boat, then the people are water!" Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! It's just that out of consideration, I haven't said the next sentence! ”
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat?" Cao Ying muttered a sentence, and then suddenly realized, "Sage Yun: Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, so let's say this...... Wen Ruo also often said to him, the only thing that is important in the world is the people's heart......"
Jiang Zhe looked at Cao Ying and said lightly, "Meng De wants to harm the people for personal revenge, and what's more, you want to slaughter the city?" ”
"It's not ...... It's not ...... I don't dare to do this! Cao Ying hurriedly explained, "Shouyi Mingjian, Ye categorically does not have such an idea...... Fang Cai could only say those words under the anger of anger, but now that he is drenched in the rain, and after thinking about it again, he has long lost such thoughts. ”
"If you think about it, you think twice! Then put it into action! Jiang Zhe shook his head, "Meng De, no matter what, the people are not guilty!" After the catastrophe is the yellow scarf, and after the yellow turban is you...... There are a lot of disasters for the people of Xuzhou! ”
Cao Ying was silent, and after a long time, he said, "Shouyi, if you only want to be humble and treat its people well, will you help me?" ”
“…… Mengde, you also know, Zhe doesn't like to fight......"
"This matter is categorically understood, the previous Qingzhou Yellow Turban incident, it was because he couldn't leave Yanzhou, so he let Shouyi go...... Shouyi, do you really want to abandon your feet and go away? ”
“…… Just a joke! ”
"As Shouyi said, since there is one thought, there is a second thought! Then put it into action! ”
"......" Jiang Zhe glanced at Cao Ying and ate his head with his head bored.
Cao Ying clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Ye knew early on that Shouyi was a very human being, and he had his own talent in his chest, so I begged Shouyi to help him!" ”
Jiang Zhe glanced at Cao Ying, "If Meng De is talking about Xuzhou, there is no need to say it again!" ”
"No, no, no!" Cao Ying arched his hand and said, "The matter of Xuzhou will be dealt with by itself, and Feng Xiaozhi will definitely help him!" ”
"Do you really want to attack Xuzhou?"
Cao Ying was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Filial piety comes first, and my father's revenge must be avenged...... But you can swear that you won't hurt the people in the slightest! Only Tao Qian! ”
Jiang Zhe thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cao Ying didn't seem to have won Xuzhou in history, as if something happened to Yanzhou, so he immediately returned to the army.
"Since you promised not to hurt the people, then you can go!"
"Righteousness is not ...... You won't abandon him, will you? ”
"Actually, Tetsuya knows!" Jiang Zhe sighed and said, "If you want to make the world peaceful, there is only one way out, and that is reunification!" But no matter what, it's not right to bring harm to innocent people! If it's not true, I'll say it! ”
"Say...... Say...... Just say! Cao Ying is now determined in his heart, and said secretly, as long as you don't leave, no matter what you say.
"Can Shouyi make an agreement with him?"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe was stunned suddenly, why did the ancient people like conventions so much?
"If you treat the people well, you will not be tyrannical! Righteousness will help calm the world! Kuang Fu Han Room! ”
"Well...... Yes! Jiang Zhe nodded, thinking about it, it is still the safest place for Cao Ying, Yuan Shao said with a cold face, and he was upset when he looked at it, Liu Bei ...... I don't want to run all the way with him, Sun Jian is hanging, Sun Ce...... It's not very good, Liu Biao is too important to the family, and he will definitely not be reused in the past, so after thinking about it, there is only Cao Ying here.
"Good!" Cao Ying was overjoyed and said, "Now that the agreement has been made, the righteousness must not be reversed!" ”
The current Cao Ying is enthusiastic and loyal to the Han family, so it's not bad for him to unify the whole country, at least he can end this troubled world quickly! After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Zhe said, "The gentleman is a man!" Zhe save it! ”
"Haha!" Cao Ying laughed and arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, the matter of Yanzhou will be troublesome to keep you!" ”
“…… Wait a minute! Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, and hurriedly shouted and said, "What is the matter of Yanzhou bothering me?" Mengde, you make it clear! ”
Cao Ying said with a stunned face, "This time...... cough, go to Xuzhou, when you bring Fengxiao and Zhicai, Wen Ruo and want to arrange the matter of military rations, so you can only hand over Yanzhou to Shouyi, please Shouyi temporarily take the post of assassin of history......"
"Can this also be temporary?" Jiang Zhe said strangely, "Isn't there still Gongda?" ”
Cao Ying suddenly sweated, Feng Xiao said well, if it was someone else, he would have responded a long time ago, how could he push it out like Shouyi.
Guo Jia's original words were: "Shou Yi has great talents, but the spleen surname is lazy, in one sentence, 'not in his position, not in his politics', how lazy!" ”
"This ......," Cao Ying thought about it in his heart and said, "Gongda is raising grain and grass on behalf of Gongda, and is running around in various counties and counties in Yanzhou, and Shouyi wants to exchange positions with him?" ”
Raising food and grass? Still on the go? Jiang Zhe hurriedly shook his head, "That'...... That's ......"
Misfortune is in the words of filial piety...... Righteousness is true...... Alas! Cao Ying secretly smiled bitterly, there is such a strange person in the world, who is obviously talented, but because he is lazy, he would rather put it in his stomach and rot......
Seeing that Jiang Zhe wanted to say something, Cao Ying hurriedly got up and gave a big salute and said, "There is Shouyi in charge of Yanzhou, and you are really relieved!" I'm tired of keeping my righteousness! ”
"......" Jiang Zhe opened his mouth and was about to say again, but when he saw Cao Ying, he said again, "It's not too early, and Ming Yu has to go to count the soldiers and horses, and he will leave!" After finishing speaking, Cao Ying hurriedly left, but Jiang Zhe was stunned and didn't stop him.
"Don't ...... Other! Tetsu hasn't said yet...... Depend on! ”
The next time, Cao Ying personally ordered five soldiers and horses, pretending to be 100,000, and went to Xuzhou in a mighty way.
In addition, Cao Ying worshiped Jiang Zhe to engage in governance, led the history of the chief, the position of sacrificing wine, temporarily took the position of assassin history, and allocated 30,000 soldiers and horses with him, and Jiang Zhe guarded Juancheng, Fan County, and Dong'e County, and ordered Li Ru and Cheng Yu to be engaged in it, as Jiang Zhe's auxiliary!
