Chapter 288 Back to Jingzhou
"In this case, I will give it to Wen Ruo at this time and let Song Zhongzi and others leave Xudu as soon as possible. Now I don't have enough effort to deal with Jingzhou. It's not too late to defeat Yuan Shao to deal with Jingzhou. As for going to Jingzhou to read the imperial edict, let's hand it over to Du Xi, the emperor's son-in-law. Cao Cao thought for a moment, and this was the best way to deal with this matter.
At present, there is only one Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is not sure to deal with it. If Guo Jia and others had not strongly persuaded him to meet Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that he would have just ordered the soldiers to stand on stand by, and had no idea of fighting with Yuan Shao. However, although he has this idea, it does not mean that he can deal with Yuan Shao and Jingzhou Liu Qi at the same time. What he needs now is to concentrate on Yuan Shao. As for Jingzhou, he is really not sure.
He has sent Cao Ren brothers to guard Shangyong and other places. Now with the use of Yizhou to attract the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, Jingzhou has no threat to him. At this time, he is naturally unwilling to take the initiative to fight with Jingzhou.
As for the emperor's son-in-law Du Xi, Cao Cao has a lot of trust. Last time, this man went to Jiangdong to persuade Jiangdong Sun Ce to send troops to attack Jingzhou, which almost made Jingzhou doomed. Moreover, he clearly know the details of Du Xi, and this person can trust him.
"No." Xun Wenruo bowed and saluted, then turned around and retreated.
Before long, a person in Sikong Mansion went to the palace with an edict to seal Liu Qi and asked the emperor Liu Xie for permission.
...........................................................................
In the post hall, Ma Jian and others have been invited back by Song Zhongzi. Song Zhongzi is clear about the behavior of Ma Jian and others. The reason why he did not stop him is that Ma Jian's behavior did not touch Cao Cao Cao's bottom line. Once Ma Jian's behavior violates Cao Cao's bottom line, then their group It would not be so easy to leave Xudu, and at that time, Liu Qi in Jingzhou could not fight with Cao Cao for the three of them at this time.
Back to the post hall, Ma Qian and Xin Chang looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. The two of them didn't want to visit the people on the brocade. What they did was just a little trouble for Cao Cao, and it was just a little trouble.
Nowadays, Cao Cao just doesn't concentrate on dealing with them. There are many talented people under Cao Cao's command, and their means and wisdom are extraordinary. The two ask themselves that they are not their opponents. If you really make Cao Cao angry and make up your mind to deal with them, you only need to tell a few confidants that they can clean them up obediently.
Not long after the two came back, they saw Xun Wenruo rushing to the post hall, and Song Zhongzi immediately took Ma Qian out to greet him.
Xun Wenruo first took a look at Ma Yan, and then looked at Song Zhongzi and said, "The emperor has agreed to the letter of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, that is to say, the emperor has agreed to Liu Qi as Jingzhou Mu. As for the fief of Liu Qi in Jingzhou, the emperor has also made a decision. In the future, he will send an angel to Jingzhou to read the imperial edict of the emperor.
Hearing Xun Wenruo's words, all three of them were happy. These two things are the most important purpose of their trip. Now they are a little happy to be able to complete it so easily.
"I don't know where the emperor wants to seal the fiefdom of the eldest son?" After all, Song Zhongzi is very comparable. He suddenly calmed down and asked. The most important thing about Liu Qi's title of Marquis is the location of Fengyi, which is the ultimate purpose of Liu Qi's title. If it is sealed outside Hanzhong, it will inevitably add some twists and turns.
Xun Wenruo took a look at Song Zhongzi and said, "Don't worry, Liu Qi's fiefing is in Hanzhong."
"Haha, thank you very much. Now that the matter of Xudu is over, I will return to Jingzhou in a few days. At that time, please take care of Mr. Wen Ruo. It was not until Song Zhongzi heard the news that he laughed.
The purpose of Cao Cao asked Xun Wenruo to inform them of this matter was to let them leave Xudu earlier and not to get involved in Xudu's affairs. Song Zhongzi also saw that the situation in Xudu was more complicated than he imagined. At this time, it was not a blessing or a curse to stay in Xudu, and it was just right to leave Xudu early.
"So, the three messengers have a good journey." Xun Wenruo arched his hand and looked at Ma Qian again, and turned around and left.
Taking Xun Wenruo's movements in his eyes, Song Zhongzi looked at Ma Yu in surprise, which could make Xun Wenruo care so much about what Ma Yu did in Xun Wenruo's house.
Ma Yu smiled at Song Zhongzi's inexploring eyes. At that time, it was just an unintentional move, but now it is not without any effect.
At that time, he discussed with Xun Wenruo whether he would return his power to the emperor after Cao Cao came to power in the future. Although Xun Wenruo's answer at that time did not mean to betray Cao Cao, the meaning between Xun Wenruo's words did not really belong to Cao Cao.
Although there were very few people present at that time, no one could guarantee that Xun Wenruo's words would reach Cao Cao's ears. Even if Cao Cao trusted Xun Wenruo again, how could he believe Xun Wenruo when he heard Xun Wenruo's words?
This matter was Ma Yan's unintentional move, but he didn't expect it to make Xun Wenruo think that it was Ma Yan deliberately doing it. How could Xun Wenruo not be surprised?
"Pack up, we are ready to go back to Jingzhou." Song Zhongzi didn't care. He didn't need to let him know what Ma Yu and others had done. At the time of Jingzhou, Jia Xu had already explained this. And Song Zhongzi is not a powerful person, and he is not dissatisfied with this.
...........................................................................
In the west of Xudu, in a mansion that occupies a large area, two people in gorgeous clothes are standing quietly in the pavilion and saying this. One of them is in his twenties, with handsome eyebrows, like jade, and his eyes are as smart as water, while the other is thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he looks like a child, he is extremely calm.
"Second brother, Cao Sikong asked me to teach that Ma Yu a lesson. What should I do?" This person is exactly what Cao Cao said about Sima Min. The eight Sima Min brothers are all outstanding. In addition to Sima Lang, who has already become an official, although the other people are extremely talented, they are vaguely led by Sima Yi.
Last night, Cao Cao sent someone to the house to hint at Sima Min and asked him to teach Ma Jian, the deputy envoy of Jingzhou. Sima Min hesitated to ask his second brother Sima Yi.
"You don't have to do anything. I think the Jingzhou messenger will leave Xudu today." Sima Yi's eyes were as calm as water, without any fluctuation, and he shook his head.
"Oh, so soon, don't they have to wait for Cao Sikong to set Liu Qi's title before leaving? How can you be in such a hurry?" Sima Min's eyes flashed with surprise. He knew that Sima Yi's words must have his reason. From childhood to age, what Sima Yi said almost all came true.
"Cao Sikong will not be in a dilemma with Jingzhou at this time. I think Liu Qi's imperial edict is already in the hands of the emperor." Sima Yi did not look back, but there was a sigh in his tone.
At this time, there were only two brothers in the whole pavilion, and even the guards in all directions were more than a hundred steps away from the pavilion. Their voices were not loud and the others could not hear what they were talking about at all.
Although Sima Yi is conceited and smart, he does not dare to show too much, otherwise his situation will be even worse. Now the whole Sima family has been suspected by Cao Cao. If he is causing Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, the Sima family's situation will be more dangerous. Cao Cao is not easy to deal with, and Cao Cao's men are also not opponents. At this time, he can only lie down and wait for the opportunity to move.
"Liu Qi from Jingzhou is only in his twenties. He can control Jingzhou to repel 100,000 troops in Jiangdong, and can also break the dangerous situation in Jingzhou. I really want to see it. In addition, Zhuge Liang, who was just over 20 years old, was able to command the two elites in Jingzhou to fight south and north, and hit the Jiangdong army. I really don't know if the two of them can compete with the second brother. Sima Min said with a sigh. These days, the story of Jingzhou has been known all over the world, and the names of Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang are also known to everyone.
"Ha ha..." Hearing Sima Min's words, Sima Yi smiled a few times, revealing strong confidence and contempt in his voice.
When he saw that there were no flaws in Jingzhou, and Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou were not so powerful. If there was a chance, he really wanted to fight with these two people.
......................................................................................................
In Xiangyang City, several ragged beggars looked around the streets and gathered in twos and threes, as if waiting for the charity of passers-by.
Knowing that there was a subtle scream, the beggars shook all over, and then stood up and left the street in twos and threes and came to a hidden alley. This alley is extremely dark, and because it is located in a remote area, there are very few people passing by the alley. If they don't care, no one will notice that there are nearly 100 beggars in the alley at this time.
These beggars gathered together, and the first person was the little general who tried his best to take revenge. These soldiers were all sent by Cai Xun to help the young general retaliate against Liu Qi. After a day, these soldiers finally disguised as beggars and sneaked into the city.
"What's the matter? Everyone is here?" The general's eyes flashed with the flame of hatred, sweeping over everyone from time to time, and there was a strong hatred in his voice.
"The leader, it's all here." A beggar said cautiously. He knew the temperament of the young general. If he didn't treat him at all, he would beat and scold him. These soldiers did not dare to disobey at all at this time.
"Well, have you ever inquired about any news?" The young general was overjoyed and looked at the crowd and asked.
"Leader, we found out that Mrs. Nawan will go outside the city tomorrow to give incense to his deceased parents." A beggar immediately stood up and said.
"Oh, is this serious?" The young man suddenly turned his head and looked at the soldier and asked coldly.
"This matter is true. I have inquired about it. In the past two years, when Mrs. Wan had not entered Liu Qi's house, she would go out of the city to incense every year." The beggar said reluctantly.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow, and then you can take revenge. I heard that Mrs. Wan is as beautiful as a fairy, and I will reward you at that time. The young general looked at the beggar.
[Speaking of which, the book may be on the shelves within this month. It may not be sure yet, but it may be very big. I will take time to revise all the previous chapters on Sunday, and I will still update them in the past two days. Next week, Xiaofeng will be updated for three days in a row!!]
