Chapter 94 All parties rave over Tai Shici
Tai Shici thought and got up at the door to meet Cao Ren. "Oh, General Cao is really a distinguished guest. What kind of wind blew General Cao to my camp!"
"Haha, General Taishi is welcome!" Cao Ren's bright voice suddenly remembered that the thick curtain was picked up, and the next moment his burly figure had appeared in the sight of Tai Shici.
Cao Ren took two steps, met Tai Shi Ci, stretched out his hands to hold Tai Shi Ci's hand, and said enthusiastically, "General Tai Shi, since the separation in Chang'an, Cao Mu and the generals have missed the general very much..."
Cao Rendong is full of enthusiasm, that is, he never mentions that Cao Cao once sent an envoy to Taishici. After Cao Ren finished speaking, Tai Shici invited Cao Ren to the main seat. After Cao Ren was polite, he knelt down on the main seat, and Tai Shici could only kneel down and sit at the top of the table.
Although Taishi Ci is the master, Cao Ren's official rank is higher than his.
Cao Ren looked at Taishi Ci with a smile and suddenly said in a low voice, "General Taishi, it is said that Lieutenant Liu Yu's grain convoy was robbed in the north of Pingyuan County. Not to mention the whole army of the 4,000 battalions were destroyed, and 400,000 catties of grain and grass flew away..."
"Oh, I haven't heard of this general yet!" Tai Shici said puzzledly.
"Well, General Taishi, I also heard that Lieutenant Liu Yu has authorized the general to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Cao Ren stared at Tai Shici with an extremely serious expression.
"Oh, the affairs of Youzhou are none of the business. This has nothing to do with the general..." Tai Shici said rudely.
When Cao Ren saw Tai Shici's reaction, his expression suddenly relaxed. He smiled and said to Tai Shici, "Ha ha, Lieutenant Liu Yu is a royal relative, and he is also a lieutenant who ranks among the three princes... General Tai Shi can enter Liu Yu's eyes, and the future is just around the corner, and the high-ranking officials are ready to get it."
"Hey hey, General Cao, to tell you the truth, such wealth is just a cloud in the eyes of the general," Tai Shici knew that this was Cao Ren testing him. At the beginning, he did not submit to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's side thought that Tai Shici was going to defect to Captain Liu Yu. After all, in the eyes of the world, it is more promising to defect to Lieutenant Liu Yu. "General Cao Ren, Besides, you don't know that Lieutenant Liu Yu and Sun Zan, the shepherd of Youzhou, are already incompatible with water and fire in Youzhou at this time, and the fierce soldiers and horses on both sides are ready to go. Sun Zan, the shepherd of Youzhou, has a kindness to me, and Lieutenant Liu Yu is also a relative of the emperor. I can only stay out of the world, not participate in their internal suffocation, and will not help each other! ... I don't know how General Cao will treat it once the war in Youzhou arises?"
"Ha ha, it's also two people who don't help each other, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!" Cao Ren saw Tai Shici so bluntly, and he also frankly said Cao Jun's position. Of course, Cao Ren also received a secret order from Cao Cao: Taishici did not want to surrender and just wanted to be the hegemon of one side. Cao Cao asked the Cao army of Bohai County not to fight against Taishici, but to live in peace with Taishici...
Cao Ren conveyed the meaning of Cao Cao Cao's secret order to Tai Shici, and finally said, "... General Tai Shi, as long as we stabilize the situation around Gonzhou and eliminate the local princes who are rampant and endanger the countryside, we will shrink our forces and hand over Bohai County to the general's management... Ha ha, but Before that, I hope the general can support our development in Bohai County!"
Taishi Ci noticed that Cao Ren had already ** the bottom card. He said to Cao Ren indifferently, "Ha ha, General Cao really looks up to me. Bohai County was captured by Cao Mu from the yellow scarf army. Naturally, it should be under the jurisdiction of Cao Mu. He would have no idea of coveting ^... To be honest, it is true. I don't have much revenge and ideals, but I just want to live a stable life in my native land! Ha ha, there is good wine when the friend comes. Has the enemy come? Our natural knife and gun service!"
Tai Shici's words are also true and false. Bohai County was obviously robbed by Cao Cao from Liu Bei and Kong Rong. He had to reverse the right and wrong and robbed from the yellow scarf army. In this way, the object changed, and the nature of Cao Cao's military operations changed qualitatively: from the internal stride between the officers and army. In the midst of saving the city from the rebels, he changed from an unjust military action to a just war.
This is the charm and weirdness of language. The key is to change a few words, and the taste and nature are completely different.
From Cao Ren's words, Tai Shici also analyzed that although he gently refused Cao Cao Cao's beauty, he was not ashamed and angry. Instead, he treated Tai Shici as a person of the same level, which shows how many words his good for him said in front of Cao Cao Cao. Without Guo Jiaxiang's help, it is estimated that Cao Cao Cao could not withstand the violence of the fierce generals under his command. He would have gathered troops to attack him long ago... One mountain can't tolerate two tigers. Only Taishi Ci's side in Qingzhou has the strength to fight against Cao Cao. If Cao Cao doesn't have a soft strategy to treat Tai Shici, there will be a fight between the two tigers sooner or later.
Therefore, Cao Cao promised that at least three to five years, he would hand over the rich Bohai County to Taishici. After that, in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, Tai Shici and Cao Ren talked about other matters at will.
Due to Cao Ren's sudden visit, Tai Shici went to Pingyuan County and dragged it off until the next day. Before leaving the camp, Tai Shici specially told Bo Cai: He hoped that Bo Cai would take time from the tedious military affairs, accompany Liu Yan more, strive to capture Liu Yan's heart as soon as possible, and complete the marriage as soon as possible. After all, Bo Cai is already in his forties, and the years are not waiting for people. Especially Bo is the body of ordinary people. Even if you have taken the elixir, you can't stop the body that is prone to aging. Really: Time is a pig-killing knife, blackened fungus, and softened bananas!
Bo Cai said to Tai Shici that he must go all out and chase Liu Yan enthusiastically. If you don't do it, you will give yourself a result, and you will no longer wasted time.
Hearing Bo Cai's statement, Taishi Cicai left Donglai County at ease and embarked on the journey to Pingyuan County. Taishi Cicai entered the camp in Pingyuan County, and Qu Junhou, who guarded the camp, reported to Taishi Ci: General, the messenger sent by Lieutenant Liu Yu has been stranded in the camp for half a month. They said that they would never return to Youzhou without seeing the general himself...
When Tai Shici heard the words, he felt interesting: first, he is not the lover that these messengers long for, and second, he is not their sworn enemies. Isn't he ordered to act. As for them treating themselves like this? They can completely leave Captain Liu Yu's letter in the camp. Why do they have to meet themselves?
Before Tai Shici's buttocks were covered, Liu Yu's four messengers walked into the camp with an excited expression. After the meeting, they sent Captain Liu Yu's handwritten letter and gift list of gifts to Tai Shici. In their warm attention, Tai Shici quickly finished reading the letter and gift list. After thinking for a while, Tai Shici frowned and said slowly to the messenger, "Emissary, the order of Lieutenant Liu Yu must have been carried out, and he would have tried his best to thoroughly investigate the truth of the robbery of the grain team in the shortest time... Cough, as for those gifts Please take it back. I will not be rewarded without merit!"
When the messengers heard Tai Shici agree to the first thing, they were overjoyed. When they heard that Tai Shici refused to accept the gift, their faces suddenly changed. The messenger's leader arched his hand and said to Tai Shici, "General Taishi, if you don't accept the gift, we still can't return to Youzhou... Lieutenant Liu Yu repeatedly told me to wait. If I can't wait to see the general himself, if I can't successfully complete the task, I won't go back to Youzhou in my life! Please give the general a gift..."
As the messenger spoke, tears flowed out, and the other messengers also looked sad.
"Oh, that's it..." Tai Shici's face showed his understanding, and then he said reluctantly, "Well, the gift would have been accepted for the time being... However, I would have thought that the deer antler musk sandalwood in the gift was a little less. Recently, it has been cold, and I would have no need to cover my feet..."
"Ha ha, I understand, I'll wait to understand..." The messenger heard Tai Shici's words, and his face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny. He smiled and replied, "We will definitely convey the general's request to the lieutenant truthfully. Please wait for the good news!"
After that, the guests and guests talked about some topics at will. Finally, the messengers of Youzhou said goodbye to Tai Shici happily. They couldn't wait to return to Youzhou immediately. They didn't miss Captain Liu Yu, and didn't they miss their relatives?
Tai Shici responded freely and sent away the messenger of Youzhou, but he felt that he could not give a satisfactory answer to Lieutenant Liu Yu: asking the person who robbed the grain to find out the truth of robbing the food, even God can't do it. If there is a god...
