Chapter 161: Jiangdong Envoy
Mi Zhu saw the second general and said with a smile:
"Haha, I finally saw the two generals, my two brothers were broken from Xuzhou, and they asked around for news from the lord. Later, I heard that Yun Chang descended to Cao, but the lord was in Hebei, so he wanted to go to the lord. Now I was about to go to Hebei, and I didn't want to meet a group of passers-by yesterday, saying that there was a general surnamed Zhang in this ancient city, so I took a closer look. Listening to its description similar to Yide, I guess it is Yide. That's why I came to the ancient city to visit, but I didn't expect it to be really Yide. ”
Laughing.
The officials didn't know that the Mizhu brothers took advantage of this, but they went back to the Buddha country. First, explain the situation to Subodhi and see what to do next; Second, Mi Zhu wants to see his master, after all, he has been together for thousands of years, and he has been away for a long time, and he misses it very much.
Guan Yu inquired, but Zhang Fei never found it, so he has been struggling to find Zhang Fei's whereabouts in recent days.
Everyone gathered in the ancient city, and the interest was very high. Immediately, Zhang Fei held a banquet. At the banquet, only the lord Liu Bei was left, but Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were relieved, and Su Bodhi said that as long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were found, they would gather around Liu Bei and convey the big things. So he put down half of it, and now he is still short of Liu Bei, so he said:
"Now that you have gathered, it is better to go to find the lord tomorrow, what do the two generals think?"
Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded and said:
"I also think the same way, tomorrow I will leave my sister-in-law in the ancient city and be taken care of by my third brother, and Sun Qian and I will go to Runan to find out the whereabouts of my brother."
Hearing this, Zhang Fei threw the half-bitten chicken leg on the plate and said angrily:
"Why didn't the second brother take me with him?"
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei and said:
"If you go, who will protect the two sisters-in-law, and if the Cao soldiers and horses come to attack, who will stop them?"
Zhang Fei had no choice but to promise.
Everyone gathered for a few days, and Liu Pi and Gong Du sent people from Runan to ask Liu Bei to take charge. Liu Bei thought that the ancient city was a small city after all, and it could only be defended for a while, but it was not a long-term plan. So he gathered all his troops and horses and hurried to Runan to station. Recruiting troops and buying horses in Runan, Xu Tu develops, no problem.
After Liu Bei got together in the ancient city, he went to Runan and wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, saying that he would go through Runan to disturb Cao Cao.
On the other hand, Jian Yong was afraid that Yuan Shao would be suspicious, so he also wrote a letter, detailing Liu Bei's passage to Runan to disturb Cao Cao, and said that he would also temporarily live in Runan to monitor Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao received the letter, and it happened that Guo Tu was present. Although Guo Tu didn't know Jian Yong's identity, he knew that Yuan Shao trusted Jian Yong very much. As a strategist, Guo Tu naturally couldn't be robbed of his position as chief strategist by others for nothing, and said angrily when he saw this scene:
"Lord, how can Jian Yong bear to deceive you like this? Liu Bei went to talk about Liu Biao a few times ago, and I knew that this person had a lot of ambitions and would never go back. That Jian Yong was originally Liu Bei's subordinate, but now that Liu Bei went to Runan to settle down, he came to report, and his betrayal was clearly revealed. ”
Yuan Shaoben was resentful of Liu Bei's move, and when he heard this, he added fuel to the fire, and said with hatred in his mouth:
"How dare this guy deceive me like this? I know where you come from so I kindly help you, and now you dare to oppose me?! ”
Guo Tu couldn't hear what Yuan Shao was muttering to himself, and was about to listen again, only to hear Yuan Shao shouting:
"Come on, soldiers attack Runan."
Guo Tu was about to listen attentively, but when Yuan Shao suddenly said this, he was startled and reacted violently. Seeing the soldier coming in, he hurriedly waved the soldier back before saying:
"My lord, don't lose a big deal because of a small one. Liu Bei's Runan is not to be worried, and it is still useful to contain Cao Cao at the moment. Now Cao Cao is today's fierce rival, and Liu Biao does not join forces with the lord, but it doesn't matter. This son was on one side, and after his death his land returned to his lord. Jiangdong Sun Ce is flourishing a few days ago, Weizhen Sanjiang, even six counties, there are many ministers and generals, if they can be connected, then the big thing is decided. ”
Yuan Shao was extremely angry just now, and he wanted to send troops to attack Liu. Now that I think about it, I am impulsive, and I nodded again and again:
"What the public rule said is good, almost because Liu Bei missed a big event, but who should be sent this time?"
Guo Tu thought for a moment before saying:
"Chen Zhen went just right."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao thought for a moment and nodded:
"This man has always acted safely, and he must go."
So he wrote a letter and sent Chen Zhen across the river to overlord.
At present, the battle situation of Cao Yuan's two armies is slowly approaching Guandu, and the decisive battle is about to break out.
did not say that Chen Zhen crossed the Jianghui overlord, but said that Jiangdong Sun Ce and Cao Cao had already married first, and Cao Cao recognized that Sun Ce had restrained Liu Biao, and he was very relieved about the south.
Recently, it was reported that Liu Bei and his group had an incident in Runan, Cao Cao thought secretly, although Liu Bei had the potential to scratch Chu behind him, but Liu Bei was outnumbered after all, and it was difficult to achieve a big thing, so he put his mind on Yuan Shao in the north.
On this day, he was thinking hard about Yuan Liangce, and he couldn't help frowning after thinking about it.
At present, Cao Cao's army does not have many available soldiers, and the military food is not very abundant, but it is difficult for Cao Cao.
Suddenly, I heard that Zhang Hong, under Sun Ce's account in Jiangdong, asked to see him. Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly announced that he was in the mansion. Zhang Hong is a famous person in the world, with good manners and polite words. Cao Cao had heard of his name for a long time, and now he saw that he was indeed dignified and worthy of his name. After the two sides saluted, Cao Cao smiled and said:
"I have heard Jiangdong two zhang for a long time, and I can see one of them today, and I am fortunate to have three lives."
Zhang Hong hurriedly conceded: "The prime minister is overrated. ”
Cao Cao said: "I don't know what happened when Zigang came from Jiangdong? ”
Zhang Hong said: "Prime Minister, I am here to meet the saint on the order of my general. ”
After speaking, he presented the good news to Cao Cao. Cao Cao sighed, took the watch and looked at it, his face changed slightly, but his heart couldn't help but surge with turbulent waves.
In just half a year of the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce went all the way to the south and the north, defeated Liu Xun to attack the Lujiang River, and descended to Huaxin to capture Yuzhang, which greatly boosted his prestige and added countless troops.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be frightened, seeing that the war between the two armies of Cao and Yuan was imminent, if anyone wins, the situation of the world will be determined. And Jiangdong Sun Ce gained the power at this time, and the situation immediately changed greatly, with Sun Ce's ability, he would never let this matter go smoothly, and seven or eight out of ten would come to a fisherman to profit. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have a headache, but I heard Zhang Hong on the side whisper:
"Prime Minister, before I came to Beijing this time, the general asked me to ask the prime minister what the general entrusted last year ......."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao knew that Zhang Hong's name was coming to Beijing to offer his victory, but in fact, he came to open up the relationship and wanted to seek the position of Great Sima. Sun Ce had wanted to ask for this position many times before, but Cao Cao was afraid that Sun Ce would be big, so he never agreed, and now he heard Zhang Hong mention this matter again, and hurriedly prevaricated:
"Zigang, don't worry, this matter is decided by the emperor, and Cao will definitely speak for Bo Fu."
How could Zhang Hong not hear that this was Cao Cao's excuse, obviously not wanting to give Sun Ce the position of Grand Sima. But he was entrusted by Sun Ce, but he still didn't want to give up, so he had to say:
"I still need the prime minister to say a few good words for my general in front of the emperor. Oh, by the way, my general specially picked a few Jiangnan girls from Jiangdong to give to the prime minister. ”
Cao Cao smiled and nodded:
"This is natural, even if you don't say it, a certain person will speak for Bo Fu."
Zhang Hong then resigned from Cao Cao, Cao Cao stood up and looked at Zhang Hong's distant back, shook his head and sighed:
"It's hard for lions to compete."
Cao Cao looked back and said:
"Please Guo Jia and Xun Yu come to discuss the matter."
After a while, Guo Jia and Xun Yu came to the house together. Cao Cao discussed this matter with the two, and after Fang finished talking about Sun Ce, Xun Yu frowned and said:
"This matter is not trivial, Sun Ce has always been ambitious. It is necessary to guard against it, not to mention, it was once under Yuan Shu's ......"
What kind of people are Cao Cao and Guo Jia? I can hear Xun Yu's off-string sound. At present, in the dispute with Yuan Shao, Sun Ce is bound to attack Xu Du and has welcomed the emperor, but at that time, the general trend has gone, and there is no place for himself in the world.
Cao Cao nodded and sighed:
"What Wen Ruo said is true, Sun Ce, it is really my big concern. Therefore, looking for two people to discuss, to see that the two can have a good plan, Sun Ce has been decided. ”
