Chapter 29 It's a pity that there is no extortion

"Mr. Ziyang, this time in the Central Plains is right or wrong. Presumably you and I know it. The king of Wei wanted to design my master, but he stole the chicken and didn't eat rice. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been a prisoner today. Now Cao Pi is in the hands of my master, and it is a matter of killing and killing. Right and wrong, there is a public opinion. Your Excellency is so righteous, don't you want to start the war again?

In the peaceful tone, it conveys extreme self-confidence. Now Zhao Feng is close to him, and he is no longer the frivolous teenager ten years ago. Speaking of words, it is naturally soft and strong, soft and hard. Liu Ye blushed with these words, but he still said firmly, "Uncle Liu has always used to be the Han Shizong, but now he is a soldier against Xuchang, the former capital of the country, which is really rebellious. Such behavior really makes people in the world cold!"

"Humph!" Zhao Feng snorted coldly and then said sarcastically, "Mr. Ziyang is so loyal and righteous. As a clan of the Han Dynasty, you have made suggestions for Cao Yan over the years, coercing your majesty for fear of not doing your best. When did you become so loyal and patriotic?"

"Do not destroy my reputation. I, Liu Ye, have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty!" In the face of the ** naked ginseng rooster, Liu Ye is already angry. Zhao Feng looked at his performance quietly and continued to sarcasm when he finished: "It turns out that Mr. Ziyang and Prime Minister Cao are loyal ministers. In this case, do you want me to take out your majesty's clothes and belt?" If Zhao Feng's hand is immoral enough, he directly took out the imperial card with his clothes and edict, which finally occupied the commanding height of morality. Although Zhongyi is just talking about it, it is now a war of words. Whoever can win will earn it!

"You?" Liu Ye didn't expect this time that Zhao Summit made an article with the clothes and edict that had been sealed for more than ten years. Now he was completely blocked, and he could only blush and gasp. After a long time, Liu Ye sighed, "I don't know what Uncle Liu meant?"

"It's very simple. The year before last, Prime Minister Cao sent people to dig the Xiangjiang River levee, and hundreds of thousands of people in Jingyang suffered. Now he has no reason to join the army. Fortunately, God's reason is clear. Now he has returned from a great defeat, and even his son has fallen into our hands. If you don't pay the corresponding price, I'm afraid it's really difficult to explain to hundreds of thousands of people in the south. Now my master is fair and self-remeaning, waving troops to the north and taking Cao Pi's flag. If you want to give up, Prime Minister Cao has to show some sincerity!" Zhao Feng said leisurely, completely ignoring Liu Ye's face.

"I don't know what Uncle Liu wants?" After listening to Zhao Feng's words, Liu Ye felt that there was a door and asked quickly.

"It's very simple. First, give up all the land of Yanzhou and Qingzhou and Qingzhou Henan, and Prime Minister Cao's army returned to the north of the Yellow River. Second, it is still the old rule to leave all the soldiers and horses under the command of Prime Minister Cao to me. Third, Prime Minister Cao Yueyue the king of Wei. As a relative of the Han Dynasty, I had to be the Duke of Qi. I also asked Prime Minister Cao to do it on his behalf. Your Majesty, take the position of Prince! After these three things, my master will definitely send Mr. Huan back to Hebei!" Zhao Feng said carefully.

These three conditions were also put forward by him after careful consideration, and the first one was put forward on the basis of Lao Liu. At present, except for Puyang in Hebei, the rest of Yanzhou is in Henan, and only part of Pingyuan County in Qingzhou is in Hebei. Although Zhang Fei has already captured Beihai, Linzi City in Henan is still under Cao Qian's rule, so it is better to blackmail together this time. Needless to say, the second condition is that although Liu Bei won this battle, the war The horse suffered a heavy loss. In the battle with tigers and leopards, the wind and clouds cavalry and white horse soldiers added up to nearly 20,000 casualties. If you don't take the opportunity to supplement the war horses, when will you wait? As for the third, Liu Bei's title is now slightly lower than that of Cao Qian. Although this title is an empty title in Zhao Feng's view, the ensuing benefits cannot be ignored. If Liu Bei can enter the first level, they will naturally rise and go further. Moreover, once the title is a bit worse, it always makes people feel that Liu Bei is inferior to Cao Yan, and there are some pimples in his heart.

As soon as these three conditions were put forward, Liu Ye suddenly felt that his head was bigger. Rubbing his already painful temple, Liu Ye said astringently, "These conditions are really too harsh. I'm afraid that the king of Wei can't agree. I don't know if he can let Ye talk to the Duke of Qi face to face?"

"My master has entrusted Feng with full responsibility for this matter. Can't Mr. Ziyang trust Zhao?" Zhao Feng smiled, but he didn't give up. Liu Ye was bored for a long time, and finally said, "I can't make the decision on this fact. After taking me to the king of Wei, I will deal with it."

"Mr. Ziyang, please, but please reply as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng said with a smile. After sending away the depressed Liu Ye, Zhao Feng went to explain the matter to Liu Bei. Liu Bei nodded repeatedly, but when he heard the last condition, Liu Bei was also shocked.

"Botao, if you do this, don't you want Cao to coerce your majesty again?" Liu Bei said in a panic. Zhao Feng smiled when he heard the words, but said, "Master, at present, people with different surnames have been called kings. As a clan of the Han Dynasty, how can he not be called? Moreover, Feng believes that His Majesty is also very willing to grant the throne to the Lord!"

"Master, General Zhao's words are not bad. The Lord's achievements are in the state. Why is it impossible to become the king?" Lu Su also nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. Liu Bei still looked a little hesitant, but Zhang Fei shouted excitedly, "Cao thieves dare to be the king, not to mention that the eldest brother is a Han clan? Don't say you are the king, that's it!" After saying that, he asked Guan Yu to cover his mouth.

"Third brother can't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei was still a little helpless about Zhang Fei's big mouth, but Zhao Feng noticed that when Zhang Fei was talking nonsense, a trace of enthusiasm flashed in the depths of Liu Bei's eyes. Seeing that everyone was persuading, Liu Bei also sighed and said nothing more, just waiting for Cao Qian to reply.

In Dongjun City, Cao Qian also took a cold breath after hearing these three conditions from Liu Ye. Liu Xuande, you are really cruel!" Cao bit his teeth and said, this is simply to cut Cao's meat. Except for the third condition, there is no cost, and even one of the first two can stand it, not to mention that it is now added together. Even if it's Cao, he has to hesitate.

Looking at Cao Yan, who didn't say anything for a while, Yang Xiu, the master book beside him, suddenly said, "King of Wei, I have a word, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Dezu has something to say!" Cao Wei waved his hand and signaled. Although he doesn't care about Yang Xiu's showy, Yang Xiu has some whimsical ideas from time to time, and Cao Yan also wants to see if he can come up with some bad ideas now.

"Now the reason why the lord is afraid is that Mr. Huan is in the hands of Liu Bei, who is afraid of harming the prince's surname. If not, the lord would have returned to Hebei. I don't know. Yang Xiu smiled and said, and there was a trace of showy in his tone. Cao Qian frowned slightly after listening to it, but he still nodded.

"In this case, you don't have to worry about Mr. Huan. Liu Bei has always taken benevolence and righteousness, and he will not dare to do anything to his son, Mr. Huan. The lord can ignore Liu Bei's blackmail, and the army can withdraw to Hebei!" Yang Xiu said with a smile. As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone was surprised and looked at each other in front of each other. It can't be said that Yang Xiu's words are unreasonable, but it's really easy to say this kind of words!

"Master Yang, how can it be like this? Isn't it ignored by Mr. Huan?" Xia Houfeng, a cavalry captain who was impatient, but had a good relationship with Cao Pi, shouted first, and Cao Zhang beside him was also dissatisfied. However, Yang Xiu smiled unhurriedly and said, "In the past, when Gaozu was competing with the king of Chu, the king of Chu once threatened with the surname of Gaozu's father. Gaozu was unmoved, which made the king of Chu helpless. Today, Mr. Huan is just a prince. Why should the king be afraid of him?

"Sht up!" A broken drink interrupted Yang Xiu, who was complacent. Everyone looked at it in astonishment, but they saw that it was the angry Cao Qian who spoke angrily.

"Zihuan is my parent and child. In order to save me, I am deeply trapped in the hands of the enemy. If you ignore it, how can you let me see the world in the future?" Cao Qian seemed to be very excited. He pressed the hilt of the Yitian sword with his hand and forced Yang Xiu while scolding. Yang Xiu was at a loss by Cao Yan's sudden scolding. Seeing that he was like a lion, he could kill himself all the time. Yang Xiu was already soulless.

"Humph!" Cao Qian endured for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't correct Yang Xiu on the spot. After a heavy pause, Cao Yan said, "Ziyang, go and tell Liu Bei that I agree to all his conditions!"

"No!" Although it was a little surprising that Cao Yan agreed so quickly, Liu Ye still hurried to negotiate again. Looking at Yang Xiu, who was trembling in front of him, Cao Qian said, "Yang Dezu, you are so unsloyal and unrighteous that you are really disappointed! You don't have to do this master book. Go home and read poetry books, and cultivate your surname!" After saying that, Cao Wei waved his hand and left.

"Thank you, Lord!" Yang Xiu was still a little difficult to accept that he was demoted to a commoner in an instant, but he had to bravely accept the next step. Jia Xu and Sima Yi, who witnessed all this, have been silent. The latter came to their senses for a long time. After everyone left, they asked, "Mr. Wenhe, why do you think the lord is so angry today?"

"Yang Dezu took his own fault!" Jia Xu sighed in a rare way. As Cao Zhi's best friend, it's not good when to fall into the well, but he has to choose the present. He is really smart but wrongly. Although Cao has always put his feelings at the end, it does not mean that he can take his son's life and death seriously at all.

What's more, today's situation is too familiar. Twelve years ago in Wancheng, Cao Ang also gave up his war horse to Cao Jian, and he died in the chaos. Now if it is Cao Pi, even if Cao Wei is hard-hearted, he can't bear to watch another son die in the same way. What's more, Cao Pi was just captured, and finally there was still a trace of vitality that could make up for the regret in his heart. Naturally, Cao Wei would not be indifferent now.

Correspondingly, Yang Xiu wanted to kill people with a knife to remove the biggest obstacle to Cao Zhi's succession. But how can he hide his little calculation from Cao's eyes? In anger, Cao Qian did not kill Yang Xiu on the spot, even if he was lucky.

"So that's it!" After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Sima Yi understood. Of course, what they don't know is that there is another reason why Cao Jian is so eager to agree to Liu Bei.

"Yuan Rang, what's going on?" In the back hall, Cao Yan asked Xiahou Dun in a low voice. The latter didn't say anything, but handed an unopened emergency letter to Cao Jian. Cao Xiu took it apart and took a quick look, and his face suddenly changed.

"Gongda came to report that there were riots in many places in Hebei, and the rioters attacked the county government. Gongda has sent troops to appease the place, but there are no generals in Hebei, and it is difficult to calm down for a while!" Cao said in a low voice. The so-called Tuntian guest is the Tuntian soldiers in the military camp and the Tuntian people in the civilian camp. A large part of Cao's military grain comes from the fields cultivated by these farmers, and now they have rebelled. Even if you can't beat any state or county, it's enough to make your own grain turnover work.

"These abominable Tuntian guests, the lord took them in and gave them a mouthful of food, and now they still have to rebel!" Xiahou Dun said angrily when he heard the words. As a Tuntian expert under Cao Yan, I have to say that Xiahou Dun is not in Hebei at this time, which is also one of the reasons why these Tuntian guests dare to make trouble.

"We need to solve the Central Plains War as soon as possible!" This is Cao's decision. At this time, Liu Ye came back, so Cao Yan was desperate and agreed to Liu Bei's conditions, in order to withdraw from the Central Plains war as soon as possible and return to Hebei to suppress the riots of Tuntianke. Zhao Feng didn't know this until later. He regretted it. If he had known that Cao was so anxious, he should have knocked more!

"Lord, Cao Yan has sent someone to send the war horse. In addition, the horse has just come to report. Chen Liu's Cao Ren has also led his army to cross the Yellow River and ceded Chen Liu's county!" Under the city of Dongjun, Chen came to report to Liu Bei in a hurry. Liu Bei hurriedly sent Zhang Liao generals to take over these counties, and at the same time sent people to the river to prepare to welcome the envoys of the court.

Cao Yan's action was very fast. In addition, Yecheng was not too far from Dongjun. After the fourth day, the envoy of the court arrived at Liu Bei's camp. This time, Cao gave Liu Bei enough face, and the messenger sent was turned out to be Confucian Kong Rong. Of course, due to the rush of things, the seal, altar and so on are not ready. Basically, it means that the court will give a title, and then Liu Bei himself will go to the altar to worship.

"Congratulations to Uncle Liu!" After the promulgation of the imperial edict, Kong Rong also congratulated him with a smile, and then Liu Bei made a big banquet to receive the messenger and congratulated himself on his accession to the throne. In addition to the mind of Liu Bei's group, even the prisoner Cao Pi was pulled over to accompany him. Liu Bei was really a spoof. However, Zhao Feng paid attention to it. Cao Pi is indeed a person. Although his expression has always been extremely humble, the occasional flash in the corners of his eyes is enough to show that he is by no means such a generous person.

Two more days later, Wei Xu and Song Xian, who stayed in Qingzhou, sent people to report that Linzi, Zhangqiu, Le'an and other cities had also been delivered. In addition, Xuchang, which has already been delivered, is currently in the south of the Yellow River. Except for Henan County, which belongs to Sizhou, the rest has been owned by Liu Bei. It should be noted that Huluoguan and Luoyang are both in Henan County, and Cao Jian refused to hand over Henan County easily. Liu Bei didn't force him too hard to prevent him from having a long dream at night.

When the whole Yanzhou was delivered and all the Cao troops returned to Hebei, Liu Bei learned that one of the real reasons why Cao Yan was busy retreating was actually because of the uprising of Tuntianke in Hebei.

"In the past year, our military's fine work network has relied on the Mi family and the Zhen family Chamber of Commerce, but it has been hit by Cao Qian in Hebei! If not, I can make more plans when I know the news earlier!" Chen Gong sighed, and everyone was very sorry. Liu Bei didn't say anything when he heard the words, but he said to Zhao Feng for a long time, "Botao, this Tuntian is your first creation, but I don't know why after Cao Jianxue went, he ruled Tuntian guests, but there will always be people who rise up to make trouble?"
