Chapter 122: I, Cao Cao, measure like the sea!
Since a long time ago, Chen Feng wanted to tell Liu Bei these words.
However, he never waited for the opportunity.
After all, Liu Bei at that time, although he also had a lot of strength under his hands, he couldn't even be self-sufficient, so he could only rely on Liu Biao.
And in that case, even if he says something, what's the use?
No!
It didn't work at all.
Even if it was said at the time, maybe it couldn't even compare to the poisonous chicken soup in the toilet.
Waited until today.
When Sun Quan wanted an alliance and had to form an alliance at the same time, the perfect opportunity he was waiting for finally came.
Therefore, Chen Feng directly said everything.
He just wants Liu Bei to make himself official.
The importance of formalizing yourself.
Otherwise, Liu Bei would still be the person in history who couldn't grasp the opportunity.
Think about it, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao... After a large number of people are dead, who is the most famous in this world except for Cao Cao?
Answer: It is obvious that it is Liu Bei.
But the problem is that he doesn't see this at all, and he continues to squander this fame.
It wasn't until he squandered this fame that Zhuge Liang was left with a mess.
Is that good?
It's not good.
For Liu Bei, taking advantage of this time, he should have a greater future.
But he didn't cherish it.
So now, Chen Feng's first thing to do is not to defeat Cao Cao, or let Liu Bei rise quickly.
The first thing he had to do, and what he should do, was to let Liu Bei see himself well first, and at the same time firmly grasp this opportunity.
Such an opportunity, once seized, is really incredible.
While thinking about this, Chen Feng subconsciously glanced at Liu Bei.
When he saw the latter's shocked and inexplicable expression, he knew he had done it.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing: "Xuande Gong should understand, right?" β
"Huh?"
Liu Bei, who was thinking about his own problems, suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the words, and then looked at Chen Feng blankly.
"The biggest difference between you and the rest of the world is here."
Chen Feng took a deep breath and said with a relaxed face: "Whether it is an alliance or a banner against Cao, Xuande Gong can occupy the absolute initiative. β
"This is not a conspiracy, nor is it a scheme...... All this is an outbreak accumulated by Xuande Gong for many years of war! β
"I, I ......"
Hearing such precise words, Liu Bei's heart was disturbed.
Yes, he has always regarded himself as an ordinary prince, but when Chen Feng's words appeared, he suddenly realized that he was not comparable to those princes at all.
Therefore, Liu Bei's heart was completely messed up.
It was as if he had seen the world clearly for the first time, and when he spoke, his hands trembled as if he had led Guan and Zhang to cause an incident.
"It seems that Xuan Degong hasn't figured it out yet, but ......"
Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "But it's not a big deal, as long as Xuande Gong can slowly figure out the joints, it will be enough." β
Speaking of this, he directly saw Liu Bei's indecisiveness, or his state of mind at a loss, and said calmly: "For now, it is better for Xuande Gong to order the withdrawal of the army as soon as possible, otherwise it will be ...... if Cao Cao leads the army to attack again."
"That's exactly how it should be!"
Hearing Cao Cao, Liu Bei stood up suddenly, and soon said with a clear head: "Chen Feng listens to orders!" β
"Whoa."
Chen Feng arched his hand.
Liu Bei ordered: "Order you to lead the army to retreat slowly, be careful all the way, and don't be taken advantage of by the enemy!" β
"Yes."
Chen Feng agreed.
Liu Bei nodded, and then looked at Zhuge Liang again: "Zhuge Liang!" β
"Whoa!"
Zhuge Liang stood up.
"Ordered you to ...... immediately"
β¦β¦
The thirteenth year of Jian'an, mid-September.
The news that Chen Feng set up a formation to block Cao Cao in Dangyang Changsaka finally spread after the latter returned to Xiangyang.
Those scholars in Xiangyang who chose to take refuge in Cao Cao were all shocked when they heard about it, and many of them even faintly regretted it.
When this person's heart fluctuated, Cao Cao directly showed his ruthless side.
He ordered the army to take over Xiangyang, but anyone who encountered a party would be directly dispersed.
If there are people among them who talk about the battle of Dangyang, they will be attacked mercilessly.
For a while, Xiangyang was silent.
And at this moment, it stands to reason that no one in Xiangyang should dare to leave.
But what is surprising is that just when Cao Cao made the entire Xiangyang silent, a team of people completely ignored the impact and quietly came to the city gate.
It was none other than Liu Biao's niece, Chen Feng's fiancΓ©e, and Zhang Yun's sister...... Zhang Pei.
"Miss, are we really going?"
As the carriage gradually approached the city gate, Zhang Pei's maid gradually became nervous, and in the end, she said directly with a panicked expression.
"According to outsiders, my uncle is a strong-willed person, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not so easy to persuade him to surrender, not to mention, miss, you'......"
"I don't want to go either, but if I don't go, what about my eldest brother?"
Zhang Pei looked at the panicked maid, sighed and said: "The eldest brother is in a difficult situation right now, if the Zhang family has no great achievements, it is even more in danger of overturning, you say...... Can I not go? β
"But......" the maid wanted to say something.
But at this moment, a very harsh reprimand came from outside, interrupting her words.
"What for?!"
As soon as the soldier spoke, he was so frightened that there was no more sound in the carriage.
Whether it was Zhang Pei, who had worked hard for the family before, or the maid who wanted to persuade her own young lady, they didn't dare to speak.
Their eyes were faintly flickering with panic after this.
"Back to the general, I want to go back to my hometown and province, and I ask the general to be sure to open the net......"
The driver's answer soon came in.
"Provincial?" The soldier was puzzled at first, and then snorted coldly: "I think you are going to surrender to the enemy!" β
"Wronged, general, I'll wait ......"
The coachman clearly wanted to explain.
"No more nonsense!"
But the soldier didn't give face at all, and even gave the order to arrest people: "Take it!" β
Whoaβ
As the sound appeared, the figures of the soldiers quickly surrounded the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
"Which girl's roll are you?"
Seeing Zhang Pei in the carriage, the soldier didn't dare to be presumptuous, but first lowered the curtain before asking.
Although the soldier didn't offend much, Zhang Pei was still so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to say a word.
She had never experienced such a scene at all, and she was directly scared silly.
It was the maid who had the courage to reply at this time: "I, my young lady is the sister of General Zhang Yun, you, don't mess around." β
"Zhang Yun?"
The people outside seemed to fall silent, but just as Zhang Pei and the maid gradually gave birth to hope, a cold voice came in again.
"Take it!"
Actually, they shouldn't have mentioned Zhang Yun.
It's okay if you don't mention it, but once you do, it's really over.
After all, today's Zhang Yunai is a newcomer, and he sends people out casually, and he still goes south...... Who's to say it's okay?
If there's a problem, it's a big problem.
Immediately, Zhang Pei and others were taken down.
Fortunately, Zhang Yun also has a bit of status, although they were taken down, at least they still kept the carriage and did not let them show up directly.
Not long after, Cao Cao, who was giving a lecture in the former Zhennan General's Mansion, learned the news.
"Alright, you can go down."
He waved his hand, and after letting the person who whispered to him leave, he squinted his eyes slightly at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun's heart trembled when he was stared at, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Is there something wrong with the prime minister?" β
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask Zhongfu a ......"
Cao Cao smiled, and just as everyone's mood slowly relaxed, he suddenly said, "Why did you betray me? β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Yun was immediately stunned, and then knelt down without even a face, and kowtowed: "Wronged, Prime Minister!" β
"Wronged?"
Cao Cao sneered and asked, "If you don't want to betray me, why do you want to let Ling Mei go south out of the city?" β
"She's going out of town?!"
Zhang Yun raised his head in surprise, and then waved his hand again and again: "I really don't know about this matter, please ask the prime minister to find out!" β
"Oh? Then you can tell me, why didn't Ling Mei go south early or late, but she wanted to go south at this time? β
"I'm afraid it's you Zhang Zhongfu who voted for Liu Bei again, right?"
Although Cao Cao saw the surprise on Zhang Yun's face, he didn't believe it at all.
After all, he was a suspicious person.
Sometimes even if he wrongs a good person, he doesn't care.
What's more, is Zhang Yun a good person?
There is no even need to put a question mark here, and you can directly veto it.
Because since he entered Xiangyang, Zhang Yun has been relying on his merits to ask him for official ...... Can such a person be a good person?
"Never!"
Zhang Yun slammed his head a few times again, waved his hand in fear and said, "I really don't know about this, I really don't know...... That's right! β
"What did Zhongfu remember?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"I do remember!"
Zhang Yun hurriedly nodded and explained: "Speaking of which, the sister is still Chen Feng's fiancΓ©e, and this matter is Liu Jing... Liu Biao's determination, I, I ......"
"Now it seems that my sister is afraid that she is going south to find a husband!"
ββ¦β¦β
Cao Cao obviously didn't believe this news, he directly beckoned Han Song to his side, and after asking in a low voice, he looked at Zhang Yun in disbelief and said, "In this way, you are still related to that Chen Ziji?" β
"How can such a traitor be ...... with each other?"
Zhang Yun was about to express his intentions immediately, but before he could say the word 'recognition', he was interrupted.
"Why not?"
Cao Cao suddenly raised his voice: "Chen Ziji, even I can't do anything about it, he is really a young and handsome talent...... Don't you like it? β
"I, this ......" Zhang Yun didn't know how to speak.
He felt like he had slapped the horse's leg.
"Let her go!"
Then, Cao Cao said unexpectedly: "It's just a little woman, just let her go, is it possible that you, Zhang Zhongfu, will surrender with it?" β
"But I don't believe it!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Yun raised his head blankly.
He suspected he had misheard.
But what surprised him was more than that.
After this, Cao Cao said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Isn't it just a female streamer who wants to go south to find a husband?" What's the big deal? Let her go! β
"No, I'm not only going to let her go, but I'm also going to equip her with guards to protect her all the way!"
Zhang Yun: "......"
Isn't it an adversarial relationship? Don't you want to eat its flesh? No...... How is it completely different from what is promised?
He was stupid.
But how did he know that Cao Cao had received a letter from Chen Feng before.
What's in that letter......
It's a woman, it's a cook, it's cruel, it's a blame...... And irony at the same time!
Others won't talk about it, anyway, Cao Cao was cured of his head stroke directly after seeing it.
It was also from then on that Cao Cao wanted to prove his measurements.
After all, he has already prepared a merit-seeking order, and is waiting to go back and release it, if everyone in the world thinks the same as Chen Feng......
He was still begging for a fart Hyun at that time?!
