Chapter 797: Cao Cao decides
Yecheng, the palace of the king of Wei. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะะ.
Yang Xiu hurried all the way and finally came back.
Although he also practiced archery and horse riding 'shooting', he was also considered to be 'proficient' in equestrianism, but when he came back from a long-distance run, it was still enough to choke.
Although Yang Xiu can ride in a carriage, it is too time-consuming.
It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
As a result of riding a horse, the whole person is quite tired.
He went straight to the outside of the palace and asked the soldiers to report it.
Not long after, the soldiers came out and invited Yang Xiu to enter the palace.
When he came to the main hall, Yang Xiu saw Cao 'Cao'.
Today's Cao's '', although he has already highlighted his old state, is 'refined' and has a majestic bearing. Rao is Yang Xiu is proud of his outstanding talent, and he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of Cao Cao'.
Yang Xiu saluted and said: "Humble Yang Xiu, meet King Wei." โ
Cao 'Cao' noticed Yang Xiu's tiredness and said, "Master Yang came back on horseback." โ
Yang Xiudao: "Yes!"
Cao '' and said, "Thank you for your hard work." โ
Yang Xiu said: "It's not hard to be lowly and hard. โ
"Sit!"
Cao '' waved his hand, but there was already a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
Yang Xiu thanked him and sat down, and said directly: "Great King, humiliate the envoy to the Chu State." After meeting Liu Xiu, he put forward the conditions of 'handing over' the hostages. In the end, Liu Xiu agreed to 'hand' over the hostages in Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County, and we released Sun Quan, while Liu Xiu released Xun You and Zhang Liao. โ
When Cao '' it, he was a little surprised.
Liu Xiu is notoriously difficult.
Sun Quan is a 'chicken' rib, of little use, and even troublesome.
However, Liu Xiu actually agreed.
Cao Cao's expression was solemn, and he asked: "Master Yang, Liu Xiu is not a good stubble, I am afraid it will not be easy to get Liu Xiu to agree." How did you convince Liu Xiu?"
Cao '' has a 'desire' to control and is even more suspicious.
Liu Xiu directly agreed, but it made Cao 'Cao' feel unstable.
He has been fighting with Liu Xiu for many years, but he has never seen Liu Xiu so refreshing.
Yang Xiu smiled, but there was a look of arrogance in his eyes, and said: "After returning to the king, after arriving in Xiangyang, when I met Liu Xiu for the first time, I did not propose to 'hand' over the hostages. โ
At that time, the humble position said that the state of Wu had been shattered, and asked Liu Xiu to release him as agreed. โ
Liu Xiu really refused, and even proposed to let the king cede the land of Sanzhou. โ
Helpless, he said goodbye and left. โ
Yang Xiu's eyes were bright, and he continued: "After leaving the palace of the king of Chu, he stayed in the city, and then attracted people to spread rumors, saying that Liu Xiu was unwilling to save Sun Quan's 'life' and was unwilling to 'hand' hostage exchanges with the Wei State. โ
At that time, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun and others of Wu had already returned to Liu Xiu. โ
Although these people have been converted, they still have friendship with Wu in their hearts, and it is impossible to ignore Sun Quan's life and death. โ
"In particular, Liu Xiu also married Sun Shangxiang. โ
Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu wanted to appease the surrendered officials on the one hand, and stabilize the hearts of the Wu officials who had just surrendered on the other hand. Eventually, he summoned him and agreed to the conditions. โ
Yang Xiu said: "Relying on the great king Tianwei, Liu Xiu can only give in and have to agree. โ
"Good!"
After Cao '' listened, he couldn't help but admire.
Yang Xiu's actions made Cao 'Cao' appreciate it very much.
Cao '' and said, "Yang Xiu, this time, you did a very good job. โ
Yang Xiu said: "King Xie praised. โ
Cao '' his sleeves and said, "You go down to rest, and this king will start arranging." โ
"Whoa!"
Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and retreated.
After successfully completing what Cao '' ordered, he could also breathe a sigh of relief.
The next thing has nothing to do with him.
"Someone!"
Cao '' and commanded.
A 'waiter' walked in, and Cao 'Cao' ordered: "Summoning Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to meet him." โ
"Whoa!"
The 'attendant' went down to inform.
It didn't take long for Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to come to the main hall.
The two of them saluted and sat down.
Cao's '' face was solemn, and he said: "Yang Xiu came back from Xiangyang, and the news he brought back was that Liu Xiu agreed to 'hand' over for Zhang Liao and Xun You. The location of the 'exchange' was set in Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County. What do you think about this?"
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are Cao's henchmen.
Xun Yu said without thinking: "No matter what kind of calculation Liu Xiu makes, at present, it is necessary to 'hand' over the hostages." It is completely worth it to exchange one Sun Quan for Zhang Liao and Xun You. โ
Cheng Yu stroked his white beard under his chin, and also said: "The old minister also thinks that it is necessary to change people, but this matter must be considered in the long run, carefully arranged, and ensure that everything goes smoothly." โ
Cao 'Cao' nodded and said: "This king's concern is also worried about Liu Xiu's obstruction. โ
Cheng Yu said: "As long as Sun Quan is in our hands, there is no problem." So the problem now is to guard Sun Quan well, and after escorting Sun Quan out of Yecheng, it is necessary to ensure that Sun Quan is not robbed. โ
Xun Yu said: "My lord, the minister suggested that the tiger and leopard riders escort him, and let General Xu go in person." โ
The Tiger and Par Cavalry is the most 'elite' cavalry.
Xu Chu is the fierce general that Cao 'Cao' relies on the most.
Let Xu Chu lead the tiger and leopard cavalry escort, which is enough attention.
Cao 'Cao' said: "When this king thinks about it, let Xu Chu lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to escort him, and then let Yang Xiu go to negotiate to 'handover' him, what do you think?"
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's opinions coincide with Cao's ''.
Therefore, Cao 'Cao' proposed a candidate for 'handover'.
Xun Yu said: "It's feasible!"
Cheng Yu also said: "It's feasible!"
Both men answered at the same time and did not object.
After Cao 'Cao' confirmed, he did not hesitate, and directly issued an order, arranging for Yang Xiu and Xu Chu to escort Sun Quan to Yangzhai County together.
After Cao's '' was arranged, Cheng Yu said: "King, the state of Wu was annexed by Liu Xiu. The prince and Sima Yi were stationed in Guangling County again, which would be somewhat redundant. Lao Chen thought that it would be better to stay in the forbidden garrison and transfer the prince and Sima Yi back. โ
"Accurate!"
Cao '' didn't even think about it, and answered directly.
It's just that when he thinks of the situation in Wu Guo, Cao 'Cao' sighs a little.
The good state of Wu occupied, he even had Sun Quan in his hands, but in the end he was defeated.
But there is no way around it right now.
Cao '' agreed, and Cheng Yu kept it in mind and was ready to arrange this matter.
Cao 'Cao' changed his words, and said: "Zhongde Gong, Wen Ruo, it's May, and when Zhang Liao and Sun Quan are replaced, the time will be June or July, and then they will directly attack the Chu State, what do you think?"
After Cheng Yu heard this, his expression became solemn.
The same goes for Xun Yu.
Attacking the state of Chu is not a simple matter.
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "King, June and July are the rainy seasons. At that time, the Jiangdong area will inevitably be rainy and the roads will be muddy. In addition, it is difficult for our naval army to break through the Yangtze River, so it is not appropriate to attack Jiangdong. โ
"The only thing that can be attacked is the area of Luoyang and Nanyang County. โ
"Luoyang in June and July has little impact. โ
"But in the south in June and July, it is different, the weather is 'tidal' and humid and hot. โ
"Once we go south, we soldiers will also be affected. โ
Cheng Yu raised his head and said: "The old minister suggested that if the king wants to send troops to attack Liu Xiu, he will rest for another half a year. After the 'spring' begins' in February next year, he will attack the state of Chu with a thunderbolt. โ
Xun Yu said: "The king, the minister seconded the proposal. โ
If it was a 'engagement' in the Northland, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were not worried.
It's just that when they entered the south, they suffered too many losses, so they thought that it was most appropriate to start a 'spring'.
After Cao '' listened, he was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, let's talk about it next year." โ
