Chapter 252: The Beauty of Adults
Lao Liu's side is suitable for the monarch and ministers, and he is happy, while Cao Pi and Wu Lao Er are much worse.
Rewind time for a while.
Wu Lao Er painstakingly wrote a letter of persuasion to the newly succeeded Cao Pi, and also sent rare treasures.
Cao Pi accepted the treasure and opened the letter, which was extremely flattering and flattering, and even he felt a little numb.
I'm happy after reading it...... So he sent his army to fight Wu.
"What did you say?!"
"Cao Pi personally led a large army in the north of the Jiangbei Chen soldiers, facing our army across the river, I don't know what to do!"
Sun Quan's chopsticks fell to the ground in fright, and the fatty and fresh fish on the plate immediately became unfragrant.
Isn't that right?! You also took the treasure, and entertained the messenger with good food and drink, and asked him to bring back a letter of praise in reply...... Of course, the letter politely rejected Sun Quan's persuasion.
However, this is a routine operation, even if you have to make three resignations and three concessions with your own courtiers, Sun Quan didn't take it seriously.
You can't look at what you say about this kind of thing, you have to look at the attitude of the other party after you finish speaking.
Looking at it like this, Cao Pi really plans to take the throne to replace the Han.
Sun Quan was also overjoyed, once Cao Pi replaced the Han, Liu Bei could only fight with him endlessly, and then his opportunity would come.
As a result, how could it be that in a blink of an eye, Cao Wei had the posture of wanting to attack Wu and Chen Bing Jiangbei? !
The steady Gu Yong asked more at this time: "Where is the enemy army?" ”
"In the area of Jinghu Lake."
"Huh?" General Sun, the god of war in Xiaoyaojin, keenly discovered that something was wrong, why Jinghu?
Sending troops to attack Wu, it should be Jianghan or Chaohu area?
Chen Bingjing Lake is what psychedelic operation.
General Sun didn't understand, but was shocked.
"My lord, Cao Pi is here, and he doesn't mean to be in Jiangdong." Gu Yong said with a smile, "The lord can be relieved, it doesn't take long for Cao Jun to retreat." ”
Gu Yong is different from Zhang Zhao, he is usually relatively silent and rarely speaks, and his presence among the important ministers in Jiangdong is not high.
But when he spoke, he seldom made a mistake.
Therefore, hearing Gu Yong say this at this time, Sun Quan was immediately relieved.
If you think about it, it really doesn't look like you're going to use it against yourself.
"It's just...... If Cao Pi has no intention of attacking Wu, what does this mean? Sun Quan asked again.
Not long after he ascended the throne, he had plans to replace Han, and he had to be busy with more things every day than the concubines he raised in Tongquetai?
At this critical moment of Ri Wanji, why don't you take it with you in the capital, what are you doing leading the troops south?
Gu Yong was silent again, and he would never announce his uncertain guess.
Zhang Zhao answered at this time: "Xu is the king of Wei is still suspicious of Jiangdong, and on the occasion of the change of dynasty, he led his troops to patrol the south to warn? ”
Sun Quan rolled his eyes, he really didn't know the soldiers, right, even if he warned Jiangdong, he still had to Chen Bing Jianghan or Chaohu?
Besides, who can't do this, can Cao Pi come in person?
Jiangdong Junchen was in confusion, anxiously and vigilantly waiting for the next move of Cao Wei's army.
Fortunately, as Gu Yong said, it didn't take long for Chen Bingjing Lake to retreat.
……
It is also common for Jiangdong monarchs and ministers not to guess Cao Pi's intentions, because this southern expedition was not an outsider in the first place.
On the way back from the army, Cao Pi's expression was cold, obviously not in a very good mood.
"King, this southern expedition, Qingxu has not seen any action, the previous appeasement should have worked, and the next step can be carried out." Sima Yi arched his hand.
Cao Pi's expression eased a little, nodded and said in a low voice: "After everything is decided, I will order Cao Xiu to supervise Qingxu, first bring Zang Ba and a group of Qingxu tyrants into control, and then find an opportunity to transfer Zang Ba away." ”
"The king is wise." Sima Yi arched his hand.
Cao Pi smiled gloomily, as long as Zang Ba has no military power, it is not how to knead it as much as he wants.
He made such a big battle, it was indeed not for Jiangdong, but to completely solve the trouble of Qingxu led by Zang Ba.
So why did he engage in Zang Ba? The cause of the incident was the rebellion of the Qingzhou soldiers who died of Boss Cao.
In fact, not only the Qingzhou soldiers, but also the Xuzhou soldiers under Zang Ba, who was also in Luoyang at that time, were also involved in this matter.
To say that Zang Ba didn't know anything about the behavior of his subordinates in advance, it would be a bit of a fool to take Cao Pi for a fool.
Most of the Qingzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers were originally returned to Cao Cao's Qingxu Yellow Turban, and the degree of bravery in battle and the degree of corruption in military discipline were very high.
Usually, except for Boss Cao, it is difficult for others to restrain them.
As for Zang Ba and other Qingxu tyrants, they were nominally appointed by the Son of Heaven and dispatched by Cao Cao, but in fact they were in a semi-independent state for a long time.
Qingxu Haoba has a strong local color, although many people are feudal marquis with military exploits, but because of their own faction and special status, compared with other generals, they have always been a kind of alien force of Cao Wei.
After the incident, Cao Pi once wanted to crusade against the Qingxu rebels, but finally endured it under the persuasion of Sima Yi.
Sima Yi, who was forty years old at the time, had already begun to show the heroic appearance of the "King of Turtle Kings".
The main thing is to be able to endure, endure a spring blossom, and endure a bright future.
Cao Pi not only did not remove the Qingxu generals, did not crusade against the Qingxu soldiers who beat the drums and left without permission, but instead moved the general of Zhendong to Zang Ba, entered the Marquis of Wu'an Township, and supervised the military of Qingzhou.
But all this is to appease the Qingxu generals and avoid further expansion of the situation, giving Lao Liu and Guan Yu, who are eyeing each other, an opportunity.
Revenge, that must be avenged.
How embarrassing Cao Pi was at the beginning, he had to let these people come back sooner or later.
Cao Cao's family background is big, but the internal relationship is also complicated, and each faction has its own careful thoughts, so this family is not easy to do.
"Alas......" Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh lightly, and turned his head to look at Sima Yi next to him, "If the courtiers are as loyal as Qing, why worry about Wu Shu being immortal, and the country is uncertain?" ”
The loyal Sima Yi said in horror: "The king has praised it falsely, this is just the duty of a courtier." ”
At this moment, Cao Pi, who felt that there were not enough loyal ministers, remembered his little Xiahou Shang again: "If Boren is still here, he can also worry about loneliness, but it's a pity that ......"
……
Xiahou Shang, who Cao Pi missed, is now taking his former concubine, the only Ah Yue now, kneeling in front of Liu Chan to perform the five-body throw.
"The prince's great grace, it is difficult to repay the grass ring in the next life, please accept Shang Yiyi!"
The infatuated General Xiahou was so excited at this time that he directly called Liu Chan the prince.
Putting my head on the ground is a knock, don't ask me if my sincerity is enough, you just see if I can knock the bleeding and be done.
Ah Yue behind him also kowtowed.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Chan was a little helpless, helped up Xiahou Shang and said with a smile, "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't have to be like this." ”
It's just a woman, which is really nothing to Liu Chan today.
"It's a small thing for the prince, but for me and my wife, it's a great grace." Xiahou Shang said seriously, "Now Xiahou Shang has no regrets and is willing to die." ”
Ah Yue, who was behind him, turned pale and said, "If Lang Jun dies, how can the concubine live alone?" The prince is merciful, please let me and my wife go on the road together. ”
"Ah Yue."
"Lang Jun."
The two looked at each other affectionately with tears in their eyes.
Hiss - Liu Chan gasped, good guy, sprinkle dog food all day long, and today I was confused by dog food, I really have you.
"Wait, isn't loneliness like a little wicked?" Liu Chan shook his head.
"No, no, he is still fully loyal, and he can't serve the prince in the end, but he is willing to ......die," Xiahou Shang explained in fear.
He thought that since he refused to surrender, he still needed to take precautions everywhere to keep himself, so it was better to take the initiative to die if he was interested.
After his death, with Liu Chan's temperament, he will definitely treat Ah Yue well.
Liu Chan laughed when he heard this: "The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, the evil of not an adult." Lonely wants to help his father Wang Kuang to help the Han family, Cao Wei is not afraid according to Kyushu, and he will leave you alive now, and he is afraid that you can turn the sky upside down? ”
Xiahou Shang looked at Liu Chan, who was full of arrogance in front of him, and was a little incredulous for a while.
"You two can live here with peace of mind, in Chengdu, no one will be embarrassed."

Xiahou Shang took a deep breath and said slowly but firmly: "Xiahou Shang swears here that if he does anything unfavorable to the crown prince Liu Chan in the future, he will let me and Ah Yue never see each other again for the rest of our lives." ”
This is already the most poisonous oath for him.
Liu Chan smiled and nodded: "Go, Lone will arrange a separate mansion for you, and live a good life in the future." ”
Xiahou Shang said again: "I still have hands and feet, and I can support Ah Yue, how dare I work for the prince again." I hope that the prince will temporarily lease some land with me, and I will weave with Ah Yuemen and women, and live together. ”
Liu Chan nodded: "Then it's up to you, and you will choose a good field with you later." ”
He doesn't have a bad impression of Xiahou Shang, and these things are just a gesture for him.
After thanking him again, Xiahou Shang smiled: "I didn't expect that after being captured, I would be able to get rid of other shackles and stay with Ah Yue. It's really a blessing and a curse.
"When I was in a high position, I often laughed at myself like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net. Now that he is captured, he is like a bird in the sky, a fish in the sea, and he is no longer fettered! ”
Liu Chan was stunned, this word sounds a little familiar......
While he was talking, a waiter suddenly came to report: "Prince, Dongwu has sent a messenger to come, and the king has summoned the prince to meet with him." ”
