"But I don't think the price is too high... Is a problem that can be solved with a single hand called a problem?"

"Hmph! If I can have Lu Huyqi's ability, so what if I don't need that object?" Someone replied disdainfully.

"Pfft!" Jian Yong suddenly heard this man's words, and immediately spurted out the sip of wine he had just taken!

After hastily wiping off the wine stains on the table, Jian Yong said with emotion: "These brothers are really talented!"

At this moment, another attendant hurried in outside the restaurant, came to Jian Yong and whispered: "Master, Cao Cao has returned to Xuchang!"

Jian Yong nodded, and whispered back: "Very good! Get ready, let's go to visit!"

After paying the bill, Jian Yong didn't stay any longer, and immediately came to the Taiwei Mansion to visit.

After discussing with his advisers and deciding to send troops to Xuzhou, Cao Cao hurried back to Xuchang, ready to enter the palace and explain to Emperor Liu Xie his intention to send troops to Xuzhou.

Just when Cao Cao was about to leave to enter the palace, Jian Yong happened to take two attendants to post a greeting card, ready to visit him.

Although Cao Cao was a little anxious, Jian Yong's arrival made Cao Cao smell an unusual aura, so he decided to meet Jian Yong first to see what Liu Bei would say.

The servants of Taiwei's Mansion followed Cao Cao's instructions and brought Jian Yong to Cao Cao's study.

After seeing Cao Cao, Jian Yong bowed his hands at almost ninety degrees and said in a big salute: "My officer Jian Yong, I have met Cao Taiwei!"

Jian Yong used Xiaguan, implying, "We are all officials of the imperial court, serving the emperor, our own people, big brother!"

"Xianhe doesn't need to be polite, please sit down." After receiving Jian Yong's salute, Cao Cao said with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"Thank you, Taiwei!" Jian Yong sat down respectfully.

After a while, seeing that Cao Cao didn't intend to take the initiative to ask, he could only fold his hands and sighed and said, "Taiwei, you must have known about the accident in Xuzhou, right?"

Cao Cao wanted to test it out, so he pretended not to know: "Oh? Didn't Xuzhou prosper and prosper under your lord Liu Bei's governance?"

The corner of Jian Yong's mouth twitched, and he replied with a wry smile: "This should be the case. But when my lord responded to the emperor's edict to send troops to attack the false emperor Yuan Shu, Cao Bao, the former Xuzhou old department, joined forces with Xuzhou's local aristocratic families to rebel and seize Xuzhou."

"Cao Bao can also become the master of Xuzhou?" Cao Cao sneered.

"Of course it's impossible to rely on Cao Bao alone, but there is a high possibility that Qingzhou forces will intervene!" Jian Yong only said Qingzhou, without naming Lu Bu, leaving a little room for it.

"A certain long ago said that the family cannot be trusted, and the lesson from Yanzhou was vivid in my mind, why did Liu Bei turn a blind eye?" Cao Cao wanted to deceive Jian Yong again.

"My lord's heart is kind. Taozhou Mu entrusted Xuzhou to my lord. My lord can't bear to hurt his old department, and even gave him preferential treatment." Speaking of this, Jian Yong was really heartbroken, "But I never expected Yes, the old Xuzhou Ministry headed by Cao Bao actually harbored evil intentions, and took advantage of my lord's order to hunt down the thieves, and united with the Qingzhou forces to capture Xuzhou... Alas! My lord is also very regretful, regretting not taking the words of the Taiwei at the beginning Keep it in your heart and always warn me!"

He also talked about Liu Bei's current situation, and Cao Cao found that this man was very eloquent, and he talked eloquently, and his words were really nice!

Cao Cao was very comfortable being photographed by Jian Yong, and even unconsciously showed a little smile on his face.

Perhaps realizing something was wrong with him, Cao Cao deliberately coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao finally opened his mouth and said to Jian Yong, "Liu Xuande was ordered to beg for the thief because he was a loyal minister who was truly loyal to the great man and His Majesty, and when the princes were begging for Dong, there was still some friendship with Xuande...

Go back and tell Liu Xuande that my son of heaven will not be humiliated as a loyal minister, and I, Cao Mengde, will definitely do my best to mediate. "

"Is it just mediation?" Jian Yong felt that words and actions would not be enough, so he said, "My lord has to deal with Yuan Shu's pursuers and Cao Bao's rebels. The right block is already stretched.

Before coming here, my lord once said that I hope Taiwei Cao can send troops to help...help my lord regain Xuzhou! "

Cao Cao glanced at Jian Yong calmly, and thought, "Help Liu Bei take Xuzhou back?"

"But I still have the sentence in Mr. Lu's diary embroidered on my cuff!"

【Liu Bei, Boss Cao's biggest opponent in the future, should he be caught or killed in advance...】

Cao Cao calmly glanced at the content of Lu Yan's diary embroidered on his cuff, from a certain day in a certain month.

Cao Cao was expressionless, and thought to himself: "Even Mr. Lu wants to capture or even kill his opponent, I will help him regain his foundation? I can't wait to send a large army to occupy Xuzhou now, and then lock your lord Liu Bei in Xuchang forever In the city!"

Jian Yong waited for a long time, seeing that Cao Cao was thinking about something expressionlessly.

He thought Cao Cao was thinking about the possibility of sending troops, so he sat back in his seat and began to wait patiently for the result.

Cao Cao turned his mind and thought of a way: "I can falsely promise to take Xuzhou back for Liu Bei, and then let the emperor issue an edict to keep him in Xuchang as an official forever? As long as Liu Bei comes to Xuchang, then he will never leave the palm of my Cao Cao. !"

This may be a good opportunity to imprison Liu Bei. As for killing Liu Bei directly, Cao Cao feels that this is definitely not a good choice.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei is really a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao cannot kill him because he is an orthodox official of the imperial court, and he is the only local official who responded to the call to crusade against the false emperor Yuan Shu.

If Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou and killed Liu Bei, it would not only arouse fierce resistance from Liu Bei's subordinates, but also make people in the world no longer trust the court orthodoxy, and no longer trust his old Cao's character. In the end, the gain outweighs the loss.

After thinking so much, Cao Cao finally made up his mind, "Go back and tell Xuande that someone will ask the emperor to issue an edict to attack Cao Bao. If I can send troops at that time, I will personally lead the army to help Xuande take back Xuzhou!"

Jian Yong heard that a big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground!

After a long sigh of relief, Jian Yong stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Cao Cao again, saying, "Yong, on behalf of my lord, on behalf of the people of Xuzhou, thank you Taiwei Cao!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Go, go back and tell Xuande, as long as you persist for a little longer, the imperial army will definitely seek justice for him!"

"Thank you Taiwei! Thank you, Son of Heaven!"

After Jian Yong thanked him again and again, he left Cao Cao's study, left Taiwei's mansion, and left Xuchang.

It's just that poor Jian Yong still doesn't know that Xuzhou has already been sold to Cao Cao by Chen Gong at a price...

Chapter 83 Liu Bei's Hope?

Jian Yong got Cao Cao's promise and returned to Guangling City happily.

Liu Bei was discussing with his subordinate Wenwu how long he could last, when he suddenly heard that Jian Yong had returned, he immediately got up and came to greet him outside the county government office.

Jian Yong and two servants each rode a horse. The three of them were all dressed in dust, with tired and haggard faces.

Seeing Liu Bei and the others greet him outside the county government gate, Jian Yong quickly dismounted from his horse, strode forward, and said with a bow: "My lord! Fortunately, Yong did not disgrace his fate. He has asked Cao Cao to send troops to Xuzhou to attack Cao Bao!"

Liu Bei suddenly heard that Cao Cao had agreed to send troops, but he didn't show any obvious happy expression.

He strode up to Jian Yong, took Jian Yong's arm to help him up, looked at Jian Yong who had lost a lot of weight, Liu Bei said in a heavy tone: "It's been a long journey, it's been so hard!"

Jian Yong thought of the hardships of this journey, and was almost slaughtered by bandits for less than two hours a day, and immediately replied with a bit of choking in his tone: "It's not hard, as long as the lord can regain Xuzhou, all of this will be fine." worth!"

Liu Bei nodded and said nothing.

He personally helped Jian Yong into the county government office, sat him down next to his seat, and then asked, "When is Cao Cao going to send troops?"

After recalling it for a while, Jian Yong replied: "The soldiers should have been dispatched on the way back!"

"So fast? Doesn't Cao Cao need to prepare?" Guan Yu asked with some doubts in his heart.

"No, Second General, before I arrive, Cao Cao is probably ready to send troops." Jian Yong returned.

"Where is he going to send troops?" Zhang Fei asked with his eyes widened.

"Fight Yuan Shu!" This is what Cao Cao told Jian Yong, but Jian Yong would not be so naive as to believe it, "But I think Cao Cao must also have the idea of ​​sending troops to Xuzhou. It's just that he is still a little hesitant about sending troops first. "

"Then we asked him to send troops to attack Cao Bao, wouldn't it be in Cao Cao's arms?"

Zhang Fei's words made the meeting hall fall into silence.

Mi Zhu smiled wryly and said, "If we invite Cao Cao to send troops, we still have a chance to regain Xuzhou; if we don't, we have no hope at all."

"My lord is the Xuzhou shepherd who was appointed by the imperial court. For the sake of reputation, even if Cao Cao wanted to embezzle Xuzhou, he would not dare to harm the lord." Sun Qian also put forward his own opinion at this time, and he continued: "If the plan is right, we may return Can continue to be in charge of Xuzhou. As long as the lord keeps a low profile and accumulates strength in secret during this period, when the world changes, we can take advantage of the situation!"

"The world has changed..." Liu Bei seemed to see hope again, and asked Sun Qian, "Please give me your advice!"

"Don't dare!" Sun Qian returned a salute, and after considering his words, he said, "I heard a piece of news from a merchant today. General Gongsun of the North has been besieged by Yuan Shao in the Yijing Tower. It's a matter of time."

When everyone heard the words, they all sighed to varying degrees.

Back then, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei could not have been more righteous when they asked people to ask for land and give land to land.

However, Liu Bei extended a helping hand to Gongsun Zan several times when he was in distress, and he repaid Gongsun Zan's kindness.

Later, Gongsun Zan refused to listen to Liu Bei's advice, and his defeat was probably his own fault.

Liu Bei sighed in his heart, he played poorly with a good hand of cards, and he really regretted what happened to his old classmate.

But now he couldn't protect himself, and indeed he couldn't help Gongsun Zan.

Seeing that everyone turned their attention to him again, Sun Qian continued: "Gongsun is defeated, and Yuan Shao will be able to dominate the north. At that time, whether it is Cao Cao in Yanzhou or Lu Bu in Qingzhou, they will become a stumbling block for Yuan Shao to sweep the world!"

Liu Bei was stunned, and then looked at Sun Qian with bright eyes, and asked: "At that time, Cao Cao and Lu Bu must have no time to worry about us, and our opportunity will come!"

"My lord is wise!" Sun Qian complimented with a smile and cupped his hands.

The big problem has been solved, and the future direction has been set. Not only Liu Bei, but everyone present is also relaxed.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Jian Yong suddenly said to Liu Bei: "My lord, I heard a very interesting rumor when I was in Yanzhou."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Liu Bei's interest was immediately aroused.

After clearing his throat, Jian Yong said: "It is rumored that Lu Yan and Lu Bu are both masters of the innate realm..."

"Didn't this rumor already exist?" Zhang Fei was impatient, and he interrupted before Jian Yong finished speaking, "And he was originally born, it's just that you don't believe it..."

Jian Yong ignored Zhang Fei, they were too familiar with each other, there was no need to be polite.

Glancing back at Zhang Fei, Jian Yong continued: "But the way Lu Yan and Lu Bu entered the innate realm is very different!"

"Huh?" Even Guan Erye, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, whetted his appetite.

Seeing that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were staring at him, Jian Yong didn't dare to show off any more, and went straight to the point, "Lu Bu's entry into Xiantian is to absorb the innate energy between heaven and earth; while Lu Yan's entry into Xiantian is because of the innate skills he practiced since he was a child. !"

"Innate skills!!!"

Hearing this name is awesome!

"But!" Just as everyone was discussing Xiantian Gong with great interest, Jian Yong said loudly: "This Xiantian Gong wants to cultivate Xiantian Qi, but there is a rule that must be followed!" However, when talking about the important point, Jian Yong Yong stopped again.

"Say it quickly! Let's see if Lao Zhang won't get you drunk today!"

After being threatened by Zhang Fei, Jian Yong said with a sneer, "The rule is, stay as a child!"

As soon as Jian Yong spoke, the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence...

"Is there still this kind of exercise?" After a long time, someone finally expressed everyone's aspirations.

"If you don't have a boy body, you won't be able to cultivate your innate qi even if you practice the innate kung fu. If you have already cultivated your innate qi and then lose your boy body, you will also lose your innate qi and fall from the innate realm."

"The price...is a bit high!" Liu Bei said with emotion, "In this way, wouldn't Lu Yan have no descendants?"

"Brother, for a martial artist, he can give up everything for the pursuit of martial arts!" Guan Yu suddenly replied.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu when he heard the words, but was taken aback by Guan Yu's eyes that became piercing at some point.

However, Liu Bei's mansion is so deep that he can hardly see any abnormalities on the surface.

Zhang Fei kept nodding his head, obviously agreeing with Guan Yu's words, "If I hadn't broken my body early, I would have wanted to learn that innate skill!"

"Vulgar language!"

"The three generals are really suave!"

Zhang Fei looked at the people around him provocatively, as if he didn't care about the disgusting and teasing eyes of the people around him.

Although Liu Bei didn't quite understand the thoughts of these pure warriors, he didn't intend to refute them.

"I never thought that the young scribe who had a quick glance outside Sishui Pass was the most incredible sage in the world..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei said deeply: "Cao Cao was assisted by Lu Yan at the beginning of his army. He is really... envious of others!"

Chapter 84 Soldiers Sent to Xuzhou!

Henan Yin, the south bank of the Yellow River.

In the past half a month or so, Liu Bao, the wise king of the left of the Southern Huns, was exhausted by an unknown cavalry of the Han army, and he wanted to die.

If Liu Bao defends the main camp, the surrounding small tribes will be raided; if he spreads his forces to help other tribes defend, his own base camp will be raided again.

After going back and forth several times, Liu Bao realized that he had been led by the nose by the Han people...

Recently, spies on the north bank of the Yellow River sent back news that there were signs of mobilization of troops and horses in Hanoi County, and signs of warships gathering.

Looking at the leaders of the small tribes with low morale, Liu Bao knew that nothing could be done, so he could only frown and pinch his nose, and gave the order to withdraw back to Hedong.

The Huns could withdraw if they wanted to, but Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan couldn't let them leave easily.

Xia Houlan was dirty all over, even the white horse that sat on it turned gray.

After discovering the change of the Huns, he came to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, the Huns have begun to move out."

Zhao Yun's appearance is not much better than Xia Houlan's,

The handsome face was covered with dry and cracked dead skin, and the armor on his body was also stained with dark red blood, but it was the blood of the Huns.

Zhao Yun came to the front on horseback, looked at the Zuo Xianwang's tribe swaying in the distance, and said, "They are indeed leaving."
