Chapter 135: A Man with Two Faces and Three Swords

Fa Zheng and Meng Da left Liu Qi's mansion.

Unlike Fa Zheng's happy face, Meng Da's expression was a little gloomy. Obviously, he and Fa Zheng came to Jingzhou together, but Liu Qi attached so much importance to Fa Zheng and turned a blind eye to him.

Such a feeling made Meng Da's heart unbalanced.

It's even a little annoying.

Where no one was, Meng Da frowned and said:

"Filial piety, this Liu Qi is definitely not the master, I am waiting to come to Xiangyang, it is quite proud......"

Facing his friend, Meng Da opened his mouth to induce, hoping to unify the front. However, after hearing Meng Da's words, Fa Zheng turned around and quickly understood what he was thinking.

Liu Qi doesn't pay attention to Meng Da, but he has enough face for Fa Zheng, of course he has nothing to mind.

So, Fa Zheng whispered comfort:

"Zijing, I know what you think, now the lord is indeed negligent to you, but he just doesn't know your talent for the time being, and after I win Yizhou, I will recommend it to the lord."

Seeing Fa Zheng say this, Meng Da knew his thoughts, and did not continue to explain anything, but nodded slightly, as if he agreed to Fa Zheng's proposal, and Fa Zheng was also relieved.

He and Meng Da have a very good relationship, and the two have been friends for many years, and they moved from Fufeng to Yizhou together.

If he has the opportunity, he is of course willing to bring his friends.

However, Fa Zheng did not see it.

Under Meng Da's eyes, a cold light suddenly flashed.

Liu Qi mobilized two lines of soldiers and horses, both of which rested in Xiangyang.

When everything is ready.

He ordered Wen Ping to lead the Xiangyang Navy up the river, and their target was Luo County, Guanghan County.

This place is close to Chengdu, Shu County.

As long as Luo County is controlled, it is a matter of time to take Chengdu.

The foot soldiers went along the main road to Ba County.

Zhuge Liang was ordered to stay in Jingzhou and supervise the affairs of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

After it was determined that Liu Qi was gone.

Meng Da had an action, and he sent his henchmen to cross the river north to Xuchang to see Cao Cao.

This Meng Da is a person who will be repaid.

He followed Fa Zheng to Xiangyang, thinking that he would be able to soar. But Liu Qi cares about Fazheng, but treats him as nothing, and now that Fazheng has left with Liu Qi, how can he be willing?

Since Liu Qi has no insight into people.

Then he went to contact Cao Cao and inform Jingzhou of the capture of Yizhou, which was a good opportunity to go south.

Now that Jingzhou's soldiers and horses have been transferred, even Liu Bei has gone to Hanzhong, and the entire Jingbei defense is empty. As long as Cao Cao's army attacks, he will be able to sweep Jingzhou in one fell swoop, isn't this a monstrous feat?

Thinking of this, Meng Da couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xuchang City.

Cao Cao was mobilizing troops and horses, and he had already decided to use troops against Xiliang. If you don't solve Xiliang early, when Liu Bei and Ma Teng are facing each other, you will be in trouble.

Yang Xiu, as an envoy of the imperial court, had already gone to Hanzhong first.

Soldiers and horses from all walks of life will gather in Chang'an.

In two days, Cao Cao will also be himself.

However, before Cao Cao could start to act, someone suddenly hurriedly came to report:

"Prime Minister Qiqi, there is a person outside, who claims to be a personal entourage of Yizhou Mengda, and he has something urgent to ask to see the prime minister."

Hearing this, Cao Cao subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Yizhou Mengda?

Who is this, I have never heard of anything important about such a nobody.

However, Cao Cao did not refuse to export after all.

After a short hesitation, he said:

"Let that man in, I want to see, what is the matter?"

Soon, the people sent by Meng Da entered the hall and saw Cao Cao, although he had never seen him before, but the only person who could sit here in a grand manner was obviously Cao Mengde, the current prime minister.

Cao Cao's eyes swept over, and when he saw that the person who came was slightly flustered, he said:

"Didn't you say that there is something urgent to inform, and now that so-and-so is here, let's talk about it directly!"

Meng Da didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand:

"Qi Qi Prime Minister, the villain is on the order of my lord to come to inform the prime minister of an important matter. Now Liu Qi of Jingzhou has led a large army to capture Yizhou, and Jingbei soldiers and horses are almost empty.

Now it is the prime minister who is going south

What a chance! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was obviously stunned, his expression was a little dazed, and he said uncertainly:

"You said that Liu Qi led his troops to fight Yizhou?"

The pro continued:

"Yes, now that Liu Qi personally led the land and water armies, he has killed Ben Yizhou, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping and other generals have already left, as long as the prime minister's army goes south, he can sweep Jingzhou."

I have to admit that this person spoke very beautifully.

But Cao Cao didn't believe it easily.

He snorted coldly, and continued:

"Liu Qi only took Jiangdong not long ago, how could he not rest and easily enter Yizhou in this winter, do you want to deceive Yu and lead to a dispute between the two sides?"

Liu Qi will send troops to seize Yizhou, this matter Cao Cao has long considered. But he didn't expect that Liu Qi would attack Yizhou so quickly and in such a hurry.

If the news is true, the entire Jingbei Battalion, except for the Jingbei battalion, where most of the soldiers and horses were transferred, and Xinye City, where Liu Bei and Xu Shu were not there, the defensive strength was greatly weakened.

If he raises troops at this moment, he may really be able to do it in one fell swoop.

But Cao Cao felt that it was not so simple.

Meng Daqin sweated on his forehead and quickly explained:

"The prime minister misunderstood, originally my lord and the master of Yizhou asked to see Liu Qi as an envoy, and at the order of Liu Zhang, he wanted the two families to form an alliance to fight against the prime minister.

It's just that my lord and Fa Zheng know that Liu Zhang is not the master of the world, and they want to dedicate the state to Liu Qi. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi also had no knowledge of people, so he asked the villain to ask to see the prime minister.

The prime minister is a hero of the world, and now the north is determined, if he can take advantage of the situation to take Jingzhou, he will be able to dominate the world and achieve great achievements. ”

Speaking of which, Cao Cao finally understood.

This Meng Da is really a nobody, as Liu Zhang's envoy, it is okay to take refuge in Liu Qi, and now he is secretly contacting himself while Liu Qi is on the expedition, it is really two-faced!

Sensing Cao Cao's emotional changes, he hurriedly said:

"My lord Meng Da is now in Xiangyang City, as long as the prime minister's army attacks, he will definitely lead people to respond."

Cao Cao nodded slowly and said:

"Interesting, then you go down first!"

I didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, but I didn't dare to say more, so I honestly said goodbye and left.

When he left, Cao Cao fell into thought again.

Now two options lay before him.

Although Cao Cao is powerful, he is now mobilizing troops and horses to Chang'an, and wants to deal with Ma Teng first.

Now that Jingzhou is empty, it is a good opportunity to look at it.

But fighting in two places is not necessarily a good thing.

Even if Liu Qi transferred most of the soldiers and horses, Jingzhou was not without the strength to fight, which needs to be taken into account.

Not to mention that Liu Qi has already taken Jiangdong.

Even if the Jingzhou soldiers are transferred, they can also dispatch the people of Jiangdong to meet the enemy, and there are many places to consider.

With all these thoughts coming to him, Cao Cao decided to find someone to ask.

He sent for a group of his cronies and advisers.

If you are undecided, you may wish to listen to everyone's opinions first.
