Chapter 152: Liu Bei Meets the Two Kings
The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy.
Although many people know this sentence, in troubled times, not many people really follow this sentence.
It depends on the purpose of the envoy, or who the envoy is.
If the purpose of the envoy is only to make a normal pass, or to make some normal requests, then there is generally no danger.
And if the envoy is Liu Bei, who is famous all over the world, then natural safety will be more guaranteed.
This point is shared even by Cao Wei, who is the enemy.
On the second day, Jiang Ji held the messenger Fu Jie, and under the escort of several armor soldiers, he stepped on a small boat and headed towards the south bank of the Han River.
After Cao Cao became the queen, in order to continue to control the government of the Han Dynasty, he did not give up his original identity as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Ji's main official position now is the chief secretary of the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Ji, as Cao Cao's chief bookkeeper, is already Cao Cao's confidant and think tank.
And Jiang Ji, who is the head of the hundred bureaucrats in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is also just right as the envoy to Liu Bei for Cao Cao.
Jiang Ji's crossing of the river was soon discovered by the Han army on the other side, and the news was reported to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei knew about this, he only said "let go."
He wanted to see what Cao Cao's intentions were when he suddenly sent an envoy to visit.
Without hindrance, Jiang Ji successfully set foot on the riverbank outside Xiangyang City, which Cao Cao had always dreamed of and wanted to set foot on.
As soon as Jiang Ji came ashore, a Han officer stepped forward to take him to the camp.
It's just that Jiang Ji's guards were stopped outside the camp by this Han army officer and were not allowed to enter.
Under the leadership of the Han army officers, Jiang Ji quickly crossed the defenses and came to the inside of the Han army camp and outside Liu Bei's royal tent.
Jiang Ji did not wait long outside, and the Han officer who had just led him walked out of the king's tent and ordered him to enter.
Jiang Ji looked at the heavily guarded royal tent, thinking that he would be able to see Liu Bei who was now powerful in the world in a while, he took a deep breath, and then strode into Liu Bei's royal tent.
As soon as Jiang Ji entered Liu Bei's royal tent, he saw Liu Bei sitting on the main seat.
I saw that Liu Bei was wearing Xuan armor, and now he was looking at himself with joy and anger.
Jiang Ji took a few steps forward, came to a short distance in front of Liu Bei, and bowed to him: "Jiang Ji, the head of the Han envoy, came to pay homage to General Zuo on the order of the Han prime minister."
As soon as Jiang Ji's words came out, Liu Bei's expression did not change, but Zhang Fei behind him began to show anger on his face.
In July last year, Liu Bei had already set himself up as the king of Hanzhong on the Han Emperor.
This matter has already spread all over the world, and it is impossible for Jiang Ji not to know.
But he still calls Liu Bei General Zuo now, which is obviously to show that Liu Bei's identity as the king of Hanzhong is not recognized by Cao Wei.
Moreover, Jiang Jikou called Cao Cao the prime minister and Liu Bei as General Zuo, is this implying that Liu Bei is under Cao Cao?
Zhang Fei respected Liu Bei the most, he saw that Jiang Ji was just the head of a district, and he dared to be so light of Liu Bei, he immediately wanted to scold Jiang Ji.
Just when Zhang Fei stepped forward from behind Liu Bei and was about to drink Jiang Ji, Liu Bei's gentle voice immediately reached his ears: "Yide retreats."
….
Zhang Fei is rigid by nature, but he obeys Liu Beiyan.
Therefore, although there was still anger on his face, after hearing Liu Bei's words, he still honestly retreated behind Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sat on the main seat, looking at the anger on the faces of many of the courtiers in the tent because of Jiang Ji's title, he felt that there was nothing.
Cao Cao bullied the Han Emperor, he was a Han thief, he was a relative of the Han family, and he was inseparable from Cao Cao all his life.
Intimidated by Cao Cao's ***, it is not surprising that Jiang Ji does not recognize his identity as the king of Hanzhong.
It's like he will never admit Cao Cao's identity as the King of Wei.
Liu Bei is not a person who values false fame, he has drifted away for half his life, and what kind of bullying and slander has not been accepted
Yes.
Jiang Ji's current frivolous behavior is far from the point of making him angry.
Liu Bei looked at Jiang Ji, and seeing that Jiang Ji was extraordinary, he praised it: "Although Gu has lived in the south for a long time, he has also heard of Zitong's reputation."
"People in the world praise Zitong is the wonder of the world, there is the style of the public in the past, and today it is worthy of its name."
Jiang Ji saw that there was a slight meaning of Liu Bei in his words, Liu Bei not only did not get angry and did not let his courtiers angrily reprimand him, but praised him with a smile anyway.
Jiang Ji was resourceful, of course he could see whether the smile on Liu Bei's face was true or false.
But it was knowing that Liu Bei's praise for him was true that Jiang Ji had a new understanding of Liu Bei in his heart.
Liu Bei's move reminded Jiang Ji of a past incident.
Two years ago, there were rumors that Liu Bei had died of illness.
After getting the news, Cao Cao's ministers all clapped their hands to celebrate, but only Yuan Lian, who was the counselor at the time, did not express his congratulations.
Later, someone informed Cao Cao of this incident, and Cao Cao interrogated Yuan Jian about this matter.
Yuan Lian only replied vigorously, "Xuande, you have a favor with me, and I don't know how to come."
Although Cao Cao did not punish Yuan Jian for this incident later, Cao Cao's courtiers at that time all laughed at Yuan Jian for being too pedantic, just an old master, what is there to miss? At the risk of angering King Wei, he did not congratulate him.
Now Jiang Ji may understand a little.
In the face of Liu Bei's praise, Jiang Ji also felt something because of Liu Bei's sincerity, and he bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong praises falsely."
After praising Jiang Ji, Liu Bei asked Jiang Ji, "Cao Cao ordered Jun to send an envoy, what is the matter?"
To Jiang Ji, the wonder of the world, Liu Bei is respected and called Jun.
But to the Han thief Cao Cao, Liu Bei directly and unceremoniously called him by his name.
After listening to Liu Bei's inquiry, Jiang Ji took out a letter from his arms, and then presented it to Liu Bei with both hands.
"My lord has a letter that I present to the public."
Seeing this, Liu Bei's attendant immediately stepped forward to take the letter from Jiang Ji's hand and handed it over to Liu Bei.
Under the gaze of the ministers in the account, Liu Bei opened the letter that Cao Cao gave him and read it.
After reading it, Liu Bei's face changed slightly, but he remained calm after all.
He then looked at Jiang Jiyan and said, "Lao Fuzi went back to tell Cao Cao that he had invited him to see him, and he would not live up to the promise."
After Liu Bei said this, the faces of Han Chen in the tent were all shocked.
Cao Cao wants to meet their king?
Even Mi Yang felt a little surprised.
….
This Cao thief, if he didn't retreat quickly, why did he suddenly have a meeting.
Surprised, Hanchen in the tent began to whisper about the matter.
In the midst of the discussion of the ministers, Jiang Ji bowed to Liu Bei and left after receiving Liu Bei's consent.
After Jiang Ji left, one of the ministers in the tent came out and said to Liu Bei, "My lord, Cao Cao has always been cunning, and he needs to be careful about his request for a meeting."
The person who came out to advise Liu Bei to be careful was a shooting aid.
Shooting aid, Sizhou Fufeng people, currently engaged in Zhonglang and military generals.
The original surname of the shooting aid is Xie, and he is of the same clan as the Northland Zhuxie. Its ancestor Xie Fu went out for the general, and the Son of Heaven took Xie Fu as a non-order name, changed to shooting, and his descendants were Yan.
At the beginning of the emperor's dedication, Sanfu was hungry, and his brother shot Jian to go to the official, and went south to Shu with the shooting aid to Liu Zhang.
There are few famous lines of shooting, and the Taiwei Emperor is virtuous and his wife is a woman.
He was also one of the eleven courtiers led by Liu Bei in last year's "Hanzhong King Persuasion Table".
After the shooting aid admonished Liu Bei, most of the ministers in the account showed a look of agreement with the shooting aid on their faces.
Even Guan Yu came to Liu Bei from behind Liu Bei and persuaded him: "The body of the king is a thousand times, and it is not advisable to go out lightly."
Facing the exhortation of shooting aid and Guan Yu, Liu Bei said with a smile on his face: "What Zhu Qing said is reasonable, but Gu has already promised Cao Cao, and he should believe it in life
How can you break your word?"
"Now that Gu is already a king, the king's words cannot be child's play."
The worry on the faces of the ministers did not make Liu Bei nervous, on the contrary, he did not regard this matter as a matter to worry about.
"You don't need to worry too much. When he was alone in Xudu, there were less than 100 soldiers around him, and he still dared to accept Cao Cao's appointment, but today there are tens of thousands of troops behind him."
Liu Bei's words made Guan Yu and other ministers' dissuasion gradually dissipate.
But out of unease, Guan Yu still said to Liu Beijin: "If the king insists on going, please bring your ministers to protect the king."
After Guan Yu said this, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong also bowed and asked Liu Bei to bring them.
Faced with the generals' requests, Liu Bei did not show promise on his face.
He smiled and pointed to the generals who worshipped and said, "If you bring them all, Cao Cao is afraid that he will not dare to show his face."
"Lone wants to meet with Cao Cao, not to kill the commander."
"Moreover, Cao Cao made it clear in his letter that on the day of the meeting, the parties would only bring their sons and nephews to meet each other."
After Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu's generals saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, and although his face was worried, he could only flatter the king's orders.
Just for Liu Bei's safety, Zhao Yun admonished Liu Bei: "Since Cao Thief asked each to bring his son and nephew to go, then Guan Ping can go."
Guan Ping is the first among Liu Bei's nephews and nephews in terms of force.
Even if Zhao Yun fought against him, it would take a lot of effort to take it, and sending Guan Ping to go with Liu Bei would also ensure Liu Bei's safety.
If Cao Cao has bad intentions, Guan Ping's bravery is enough to support Guan Yu and others in the future.
Regarding Zhao Yun's suggestion, Liu Bei did not refuse again.
After all, what Zhao Yun said was reasonable, and he had to meet with Cao Cao, but his own safety should also be guaranteed.
As for the other nephew who went with him, Liu Bei didn't wait for Zhao Yun to say more, but directly ordered Mi Yang.
….
In the face of Liu Bei's arrangement, Guan Yu and others had no objection.
Although Mi Yang is not as brave as Guan Ping, he has been trained by Zhang Fei and others since he was a child, and he is also a skilled man with a bow and horse.
With the cooperation of Guan Ping, it is not difficult to protect Liu Bei.
Under Zhao Yun's recommendation and Liu Bei's general, Mi Yang and Guan Ping glanced at each other, and then came to the big tent to receive orders and worship.
For Liu Bei to directly order himself to go with him, Mi Yang had already expected it.
After all, because of his previous performance, among Liu Bei's nephews, he is one of the candidates who are very likely to go with Liu Bei.
It's just that what Mi Yang didn't know was that the reason why Liu Bei would order him to go, and the most important thing was that Cao Cao specifically stated this in his letter.
Cao Thief wants to see his excellent juniors, how can Liu Bei not allow it?
...
Cao Cao chose the place of the meeting in the Han River.
Although many places in the lower reaches of the Han River have already experienced a sharp drop in water due to seasonal reasons.
But in this place where the Han River is swimming, the Han River still flows unabated, and it is vast.
Cao Cao chose the meeting place in the Han River, firstly, for the safety of both parties, and secondly, to reassure Liu Bei, to show that he had no intention of ambushing.
On the day of the meeting, Liu Bei got up early in the morning, and then under the service of the attendants, he put on a fine armor, and in addition to the fine armor, Liu Bei put on a heavy robe.
This is Zhao Yun's strong request.
Under the protection of fine armor and heavy robes, the ordinary blade was enough to not cause damage to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei finished dressing, he walked towards the shore under the escort of Mi Yang and Guan Ping.
Mi Yang is also fully armed today, he is wearing Mingguang armor and a ring sword at his waist.
Mi Yang's outfit is nothing, it's normal.
Guan Ping was miserable, he was not only fully armed, but also asked by Zhao Yun to put a shield on his back.
Well, he's a bit like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of later generations.....
It's just that yesterday, Guan Ping was
He was not harassed much, but he was Mi Yang, and his big tent was almost surrounded by Guan Yu and others.
These generals of the world began to teach Mi Yang temporarily.
Especially Zhao Yun, almost with his face close to Mi Yang, all the precautions after the meeting.
For example, what to pay attention to, such as what happened and what to do.
In the eyes of Guan Yu and others, in the trio of the Han army, Guan Ping was responsible for staring at Cao Cao and the three opposite, and Liu Bei was responsible for talking with Cao Cao.
And he Mi Yang is responsible for keeping an eye on the whole audience and checking if there is any change in the surrounding environment.
Thinking about Guan Yu and others, they will use Mi Yang as the brain of Liu Bei's guard tomorrow.
Although above the vast Han River, it is extremely difficult to arrange ambushes or release cold arrows, especially for the Wei army, which most of them do not understand water.
But there's nothing wrong with being careful.
In the face of the careful teaching of the uncles, Mi Yang accepted it very humbly.
Although he felt that this knowledge was better than giving the three of them a lifebuoy.
Later, if it weren't for the worry that Mi Yang would not be energetic on the second day, Guan Yu and the others would have been able to talk about dawn in Mi Yang's big tent.
After Mi Yang and Guan Ping escorted Liu Bei to the shore of the Han River, Mi Yang and the three of them got on a boat.
It was a small warship wrapped in tarpaulin.
Because of its small size, it is extremely fast on the surface of the water, and can quickly return to shore if it encounters danger.
And it is wrapped in oilcloth, which is enough to resist ordinary arrows.
After getting on the ship, they were supported by Mi Yang, and soon they came to the Hanshui Center outside the barracks.
Not long after Mi Yang and the others arrived, they saw three people in the Wei army camp opposite.
They also stepped onto one side of the ship, and came quickly towards them.
Not long after, the bows of the two sides were already facing each other, and Liu Bei also saw Cao Cao standing on the bow.
Cao Cao wore a snow-white coat to keep out the cold today, and under his snow-white jacket, he was also wearing well-made armor.
After Cao Cao saw Liu Bei, there seemed to be a little battle intent in his weak eyes.
He shouted at Liu Bei, "Sell your shoes, your father is here!"
