Chapter 279 Envoy Xu Du
The next morning, Song Zhong took Ma Yan and Xin Chang to send Xu Du. This time, Xu Du could mean the change of Jingzhou's rights and the future development of Jingzhou. Seeing that Liu Qi did not abandon Liu Biao's class of old ministers, the families in Xiangyang were relieved.
These families have long had an inextricable relationship with the whole Jingzhou. If Liu Qi directly abandoned Liu Biao's old minister, the biggest loss would be these families.
In the past few days, the situation in the world has changed again. Liu Bei from Xuzhou sent people to Jizhou to explain the identity of his Han clan to Yuan Shao. Under the persuasion of Mi Ren, Yuan Shao not only announced that the world recognized Liu Bei's identity, but also lent Liu Bei a few months of food and fodder.
The doubt about whether Liu Bei is a Han clan has been known as early as a few months ago. Although many people still believe that Liu Bei is a Han clan, more people no longer fully believe in Liu Bei as before, especially the Han clan.
If he was trapped in Xudu today, Liu Bei used the name of the emperor to attract people everywhere and make friends with righteous people, which has long made these Han clans dissatisfied.
In terms of the purity of bloodline, these Han clans are much more noble than Liu Bei's. I don't know how many generations worse the Han clans are. Moreover, it is unknown what Liu Bei's identity is now. Therefore, no matter from what aspect, Liu Bei's prestige is no longer as good as before.
Yuan Shao stood up for the first time to admit the identity of Liu Bei's Han clan, but there were few responders in the world. For example, Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou did not care about this matter at all. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the possibility that Liu Bei might be in the name of the emperor and gather the public opinion of the world.
Although there were few responders, the opponents were powerful. When Cao Cao of Xudu received the news, he immediately issued an edict in the name of the emperor that Liu Bei confirmed that the identity of the Han clan was not as Xu Du to find the emperor, but went to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao. Obviously, he was plotting and intending to rebel.
In a few words, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei talked about the anti-thief, and deliberately deprived Liu Bei of his identity as a relative of the Han clan. The imperial edict was immediately sent to all over the world, and the princes in various places did not stop it. Instead, they were happy to see the success. In just a few days, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei declared all over the world, but this time they were the names of anti-thief.
Although the emperor has the intention to stop it, at present, no one dares to support the emperor except Fu Wan, and Fu Wan has no right to say anything at this time.
When the imperial edict spread to Jingzhou, Liu Qi also did not stop him. He knew that this was Cao Cao's early rise in order to deal with Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's power was not as good as Yuan Shao. His greatest advantage was to hold the emperor to order the princes. The more prestige of the emperor, the greater his advantage. If Cao Cao wants to compete with Yuan Shao, this is also a means. Otherwise, if Yuan Shao's soldiers suppress the situation, Cao Cao's advantage will be weaker.
In order to make Cao Cao and Yuan Shao as close as possible, Liu Qi even sent people to Jizhou in private to let Jin Yiwei take a walk in Jizhou. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are in the same situation. How could Yuan Shao send the imperial edict to Jizhou? Therefore, he has long closed the four parties and blocked the news outside the four states.
The news of the emperor's edict did cause a disturbance in Jizhou, but the disturbance was suppressed by Yuan Shao by thunderous means at the beginning.
At the same time, Song Zhong, the envoy of Jingzhou, finally arrived outside Xudu after a few days of rush.
A team of people stopped outside Xu Du. Ma Yu and Xin Chang jumped out of the carriage without waiting for Song Zhong's instructions. The age difference between the two was not big. Although they had been disciplined by family education since childhood, they were just a child after all. At this time, they rushed to Xu Du and naturally wanted to have a look.
"Is this Xu Chang? Where does the emperor live? Why is it similar to Xiangyang? Ma Yu looked at the Xuchang gate not far away with a puzzled face, and said with a surprised face.
Although he is still young, he reads a lot of books. He thought that Xuchang should also be a big city, but he didn't expect that it was just similar to Xiangyang, and he couldn't even compare with Wancheng.
"In troubled times, it's good for the emperor to have a place to settle down. How can he care so much, and this is not what he can decide." Xin Chang shook his head, and there was not much respect for the emperor in his tone, but more pity.
The emperor should have ruled the four directions and controlled the ministers, but now the emperor is like a puppet and controlled by others, which is really a little exclamation.
"Last time Cao Cao's back was unfavorable to Jingzhou. If it hadn't been for the wise lord, I'm afraid Jingzhou would have been in chaos at this time. This time, he finally came to Xudu. Do you plan to vent his anger to the master?" Hearing Xin Chang's words, Ma Yu turned his eyes, looked around, and whispered in Xin Chang's ear.
"This? Xu Du is Cao Cao's territory. How can we be Cao Cao's opponents? And we have caused a lot of trouble to our husband along the way. If we go back and let my father know, he will be angry. Xin Chang's eyes lit up first, and then hesitantly said.
"Don't worry, sir is a gentleman and won't say anything. Although Cao Cao is strong in Xudu, he can still fight against our two children, and we just add some trouble to him and don't touch him. Seeing Xin Chang's heartbeat, Ma Yan hurriedly encouraged him.
"Well, what are you paying attention to?" Xin Chang took a look at Ma Dao. There were a lot of ideas along the way, and they succeeded every time.
When the two jumped out of the carriage, Song Zhong also got out of the carriage on a carriage in the middle of the line.
"Hey, these two little guys! This is Xu Du's every move, but it is under Cao Cao's surveillance. Don't make any more trouble. Song Zhong shook his head with his beard. Although he did not interfere in the affairs between the two on the way, he paid more attention to them secretly.
He wanted to see what kind of person Liu Qi asked him to take care of in person. Unexpectedly, he knew at a glance that the talents and knowledge of these two teenagers were extraordinary. If he hadn't known that these two people had already had teachers, he would have accepted these two little guys as disciples.
Among the three, Sima Hui and Pang Degong had several top disciples, but only his disciples were smart, but they were faintly overwhelmed. Now when he saw that Pang Degong had another good disciple, Song Zhong couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
Thinking in his heart, but Song Zhong straightened his clothes and stepped forward. A sense of majesty emerged from Song Zhong, which was neither awe nor underestimated, calm rather than strong.
And the two people who were whispering, were also tidying up their clothes and retreating a few steps, one left and one right closely behind Song Zhong, because a team of people and horses were coming to them not far away.
At the gate of the city, a team of people slowly walked out of the city. The first person was Xun Wenruo, who was under Cao Cao's command. At this time, Xun Wenruo was dressed in an official robe, wearing a high crown, and his demeanor was extraordinary, which made people dare not underestimate him.
"I haven't seen you for many days. How is Wen Ruo recently?" Song Zhong stepped forward and came to Xun Wenruo and said in a warm voice. His voice was like a warm white jade, which sounded unusually comfortable.
"Ha ha, Lao Song Zhongzi is very good. After a few days, I didn't expect to see Song Zhongzi again today. I really drank a few drinks. Xun Wenruo arched his hands.
"I came to greet Song Zhongzi at the order of the lord. Please don't feel lazy." Xun Wenruo smiled and said that he was as gentle and elegant, and his manner was calm, just like a modest gentleman.
"How dare you? It's really an honor to meet Wen Ruo again." Song Zhongzi is also arching.
When the two were polite to each other, the two teams had already merged into a team. Along the way, there were Jiashi who opened their way, and the group of people went to the city.
"I heard that something happened in Jingzhou a few days ago. I don't know what's going on now?" Xun Wenruo asked with a worried face, as if it was not Cao Cao's trouble behind his back.
"Ha ha, Jingzhou has always been calm. What's the matter? Wen Ruo must have been cheated." Song Zhongzi shook his head and said carelessly, as if Jingzhou was in chaos a few days ago and it didn't exist.
"In this way, I am relieved. Speaking of which, Liu Jingzhou is still your majesty's elder. If there is anything else in Jingzhou, your majesty will be worried. Some time ago, Sikong didn't want to eat for this matter. He also ordered people to go to Jingzhou to find out if he could help Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, all this was a rumor. Xun Wenruo suddenly smiled and said loudly.
"Oh, Cao Sikong still has to worry about this little thing in Jingzhou. It's really embarrassing for me to get there." Song Zhongzi said with a sigh.
The two of them said one by one, and they looked at each other, but in the dark, they were tit-for-tat, hiding the front. Only Ma Yu and Xin Chang behind Song Zhong sighed in their hearts.
Ma Yu looked at the two people from time to time, as if he wanted to find something from them.
When Xun Wenruo asked about the situation in Jingzhou, he actually wanted to find out the truth of Jingzhou and the reason why Song Zhongzi came to Xudu this time, while Song Zhongzi lightly called back Xun Wenruo's words.
Then Xun Wenruo said that Cao Cao cared about Jingzhou. In fact, he said that everything in Jingzhou was under Cao Cao's surveillance and asked Jingzhou not to move. However, Song Zhongzi said that Cao Cao tried his best to tickle Jingzhou, which was obviously not good.
Thinking secretly about the meaning of the two people's words, Ma Yu's face was calm. At this moment, he thought of everything taught by Mr. Pang De, which really made Ma Yu feel deeply in his heart.
"Only Xun Wenruo is so powerful, how many Xun Wenruo is there in the whole Xu? I heard from the lord that there is a Guo Jia under Cao Cao's command who is very powerful, so he can still be above Xun Wenruo. You must be very careful when acting here. However, even if it is decent, Cao Cao does not dare to do too much. This time, he takes this opportunity to teach Cao Cao a lesson. Although it can't make Cao Cao lose anything, it can also make him feel uncomfortable for a period of time. Looking at the two people who asked questions, Ma Yu turned his eyes and thought of a way to deal with Cao Cao.
