On a carriage in front of Liu Jianshuai's tent, Xiahoudun's body was placed on it, and because the corpse was specially treated, it barely maintained a state that did not stink, but with the technology of the ancients, I am afraid that it will not last long.

Liu Jian carefully looked at Xiahoudun's face and looked at the historical general Cao Wei......

When I was young, I heard him sigh softly.

"It's a pity that it's a masterpiece of a generation, and it ended up like this."

Jia Xu, who was standing behind Liu Jian, raised his eyebrows and didn't squeak when he heard this.

Zhang Fei on the other side was very puzzled and asked:

"The lord never knew this person in the past, why did he say that it was a pity that he died at this time?"

"And this person is not famous, he is not a hero, I have never heard the name Xiahoudun before, how does my brother know that he is a hero?"

Liu Jian ordered someone to cover Xiahoudun's face with a white cloth.

"Yide, the rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes...... In this world of great controversy, there are many heroes and heroes whose names you don't know may have fallen before they became famous. ”

"Our brothers are lucky to break into such a world and become famous all over the world."

"But in fact, the big waves are sweeping the sand, how many people in this world can be as lucky as our brothers?"

"There may be people who have real skills, but they will eventually fall into the world before they become famous for one reason or another, and they will never be known to outsiders."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he seemed to have a clear understanding.

But for the changeable things in the world, Zhang Fei still doesn't have Liu Jian's thorough understanding after all.

He couldn't think about this from the height of Liu Jian.

Not only Zhang Fei, but everyone in the world can't understand Liu Jian's state of mind at the moment.

"Come on, get a pen and paper for me, and I'll give Cao Cao a book."

In addition, he ordered craftsmen to make a good coffin overnight...... I put Xiahoudun's corpse in it, groomed it, and sent it to Cao Cao along with my letters. ”

"No!"

Liu Jian turned his head to look at the dead Xiahoudun in the car, and silently thought in his heart:

"In this life, I ruined your future that should have gone straight to the top, and a good coffin can be regarded as an apology."

……

……

Xiahoudun's body and Liu Jian's handwritten letter were sent to Cao Cao's garrison by Hebei envoys on the second day.

Cao Cao was grieving at this time because of Xiahoudun's death.

After seeing his body, for a moment, Cao Cao was even more sad.

The rest of the generals were also very sad when they saw Xiahoudun's body.

Especially the Cao family and Xiahou family, many of them wept with emotion.

After all, Xiahoudun is very popular in the army on weekdays.

Seeing the coffin that Liu Jian built for Xiahoudun, as well as Xiahoudun's scrubbed corpse, Cao Cao was also quite emotional.

Although he was an adversary, he was a righteous man after all.

However, it can be regarded as Cao Cao's ambition, and he does not show an excessively sad appearance in front of the envoy.

Let others cry, he must not cry. He couldn't show his weakness in front of Liu Jian's envoy.

In the end, in front of Cao Cao and the generals, the messenger concisely told Xiahoudun's death on the battlefield.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Xiahoudun did not want to be captured by the enemy and committed suicide......

From Liu Jian's point of view, his messenger is not necessary to lie.

Moreover, the wound on Xiahoudun's neck was there, the angle was clear, and the people present were all battle-hardened soldiers, so they could naturally see the clues.

In front of everyone, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun's body to be sent back to Huainan for a thick burial.

He himself opened Liu Jian's letter.

At this glance, Cao Cao's face suddenly changed.

His expression was both shocked and a little distorted, even more unhappy than when he first saw Xiahoudun's corpse.

Then, Cao Cao adjusted his mood and looked at the messenger with a smile.

"Go back and tell your General Zuo, just say that his letter has been received by Cao."

"I, Cao Cao, am not afraid of anyone's threats, even the mighty General Zuo."

"I, Cao Cao, are waiting for General Zuo to come and advise."

The messenger didn't look out of the ordinary.

"Cao Gong's words, I will definitely convey them to General Zuo, if there is nothing else important, then the last official will leave."

Cao Cao didn't keep him: "Come on, send off guests!" ”

After sending the messenger out, Dian Wei said angrily to Cao Cao: "Duke Ming, why don't you kill this person and avenge Xiahou Sima?" ”

Cao Cao pressed his eyes and temples sadly.

"If he is really the one who killed Yuan Rang, I will punish him, but he is just a messenger for Liu Jian, even if he kills him, what is the point? It is laughed at by the people of the world. ”

Xi Zhicai said to Dian Wei: "Dian Sima, Liu Jian is a man with great talent and strategy, and he is good at using troops and mobilizing the morale of soldiers and horses. ”

"If we kill his envoy, Liu Deran will use this as an excuse to encourage the three armies and storm my camp,"

"The morale of the other side is high, if this is an excuse to make the three armies storm it, how can we do it?"

Dian Wei is brave, but he is still a lot worse in terms of strategy.

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, he didn't have much to say.

Xi Zhicai turned his head to look at Cao Cao, who had an unhappy face.

"Ming Gong, what is written on Liu Jian's letter? Why is the lord like this? ”

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei next to him, waved his hand, and motioned for him to go down first.

Dian Wei immediately received the order and waited outside the tent.

After Dian Wei went out, Cao Cao handed over the letter to Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, Liu Jian is really ambitious."

Xi Zhicai took the letter handed over by Cao Cao and looked at it carefully.

The content of Liu Jian's letter was very simple, just a few words.

"Those who are close to the world are sins, the northern frontier is in the north, the alien races are tied, wait for the northern land to be calmed, and destroy all the heroes, within ten years, when the male soldiers are millions, Fang and Meng De will hunt Jiangdong!"

After reading Liu Jian's domineering letter, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but feel that his eyelids were "thumping".

How awesome and confident it must be to dare to say this.

Xi Zhicai took a deep breath.

"This Liu Deran is really as he said on the fair day tomorrow, his ambitions are lofty, far beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

Although Liu Jian's letter was very threatening, Cao Cao still had a sense of resonance with him for some reason.

To be honest, he has a feeling of indescribability right now.

He was not angry with Liu Jian because of this letter, and he did not hate Liu Jian.

On the contrary, Cao Cao is now very envious of Liu Jian in his heart.

Maybe he dreamed of being like Liu Jian and being able to write such a letter in this position.

"The eldest husband should be Liu Deran, so he will live up to this life!"

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and finally said such a sentence with emotion.

It was at this time that Yu Ban hurriedly came to the outside of the tent and said to Cao Cao: "The last official Yu Ban, ask to see the lord." ”

"The last officer has an urgent matter to report to the Lord."

"What?"

"Ming Gong, Yuan Shu secretly dispatched troops in Dongjun, and now he secretly united with the Shouchun Zhuwang clan, and he should send troops to attack Huainan, and now his soldiers and horses have arrived in Yuzhou, Runan counties are looking at the wind and surrendering, and Jiujiang County is also in danger!"

Yu Ban's words made Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's faces change greatly.

Cao Cao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay...... This is Cao's negligence, underestimate him, Yuan Highway, you finally did something that Cao can afford......"

"It turns out that in the past half a year, you have been pretending to be sick, amazing, amazing, look, this is worthy of being a descendant of the Yuan family."

Xi Zhicai said: "Ming Gong, the land of Jianghuai and Yuzhou is our foundation, and the lord needs to use Jiujiang and Lujiang as pedals to attack Jiangdong and divide the southeast...... If it is reoccupied by Yuan Shu, it will be very bad. ”

Cao Cao raised his hand and blocked Xi Zhicai's words.

"Zhicai doesn't need to worry too much, I still know a little bit about Yuan Highway's skills."

"He will indeed cause us trouble this time, but he doesn't have the ability to make us fall into a desperate situation."

"Although this Yuan Highway is a big trouble, it also has some benefits for us."

Xi Zhicai is a wise man, and he naturally understands what Cao Cao wants to say.

"Ming Gong wants to say, so that we can show Yuan Shao, say that Jianghuai is in chaos, and we need to return to the army quickly, and we can't continue to stay here, and continue to fight Liu Jian for him."

"And when the Ming Duke originally occupied Jiujiang, whether the local wang clan in Huainan was really attached to the Ming Duke, the Ming Duke does not know."

"Even if I want to find out the family that is not favorable to Ming Gong among them, there is no trace to be found."

"But this time, Yuan Shu led his troops to Huainan, and those families who secretly supported him will all jump out."

"This is a great time for Ming Gong to sweep them all out and completely establish his prestige in Huainan!!"

Cao Cao agreed: "That's right, so it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"It's just that Yuan Benchu is there, and he still needs a person who can speak well to explain it to Cao."

"Just let Lu Ziheng go, I believe Ziheng will be able to convince Yuan Shao."

"Lu Ziheng returned from Zhang Miao, and now he has not arrived, and he wants to take the country road, so it is better to go by the last official."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this.

"Then it can only be like this, there is Lao Zhicai to talk about this matter on behalf of Cao and Ben Chu."
