Mi Han

Chapter 153
When the two armies are at war, they will not be beheaded.

Although many people know this sentence, in troubled times, not many people really follow it.

This mainly depends on the purpose of the envoy, or who the party is.

If the purpose of the envoy is just to make good friends or to make some normal requests, then generally there will be no danger.

And if the party on the mission is Liu Bei, who is famous all over the world, then the natural security will be more guaranteed.

Even Cao Wei, who is the enemy, agrees with this point.

On the second day, Jiang Ji, holding the envoy's talisman, and under the protection of several soldiers, set foot on a small boat and headed towards the south bank of the Han River.

After Cao Cao became the queen, in order to continue to control the government of the Han Dynasty, he did not give up his original status as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

The main official position that Jiang Ji currently holds is the master book under the prime minister of Han Dynasty.

As Cao Cao's master book, Jiang Ji is already considered Cao Cao's confidant and think tank.

And Jiang Ji, who is the chief of the bureaucrats in the prime minister's mansion, is also just right as Liu Bei's envoy for Cao Cao.

Jiang Ji's act of crossing the river was quickly discovered by the Han army on the other side, and reported the news to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei knew about this, he just said lightly, "Let's go."

He wanted to see what Cao Cao's intention was when he suddenly sent an envoy to visit.

Without hindrance, Jiang Ji successfully set foot on the river bank outside Xiangyang City, which Cao Cao had always dreamed of and wanted to set foot on.

When Jiang Ji landed, an officer of the Han army immediately stepped forward and took him to the camp.

It's just that Jiang Ji's guards were stopped outside the camp by the Han army officer and were not allowed to enter.

Under the leadership of the officers of the Han army, Jiang Ji quickly crossed the heavy defenses, came inside the Han army camp, and came outside Liu Bei's king's tent.

Jiang Ji didn't wait too long outside, the Han army officer who led him just now walked out of the king's tent and let him in.

Jiang Ji looked at the heavily guarded king's tent, thinking that he would see Liu Bei, who is now so powerful in the world, after a while, he took a deep breath, and then strode into Liu Bei's king's tent.

As soon as Jiang Ji entered Liu Bei's king's tent, he saw Liu Bei sitting on the chief seat.

I saw Liu Bei wearing a black armor, and now he was looking at him with emotion and anger.

Jiang Ji took a few steps forward, came not far from Liu Bei, and paid homage to him: "Han Envoy Prime Minister Jiang Ji, under the order of Han Prime Minister, came to pay homage to General Zuo."

When Jiang Ji said this, Liu Bei's expression did not change, but Zhang Fei behind him began to show anger on his face.

In July last year, Liu Bei had declared himself the King of Hanzhong to Emperor Han.

This matter has already spread all over the world, Jiang Ji could not have known about it.

But he still calls Liu Bei General Zuo, which is obviously saying that Cao Wei does not recognize Liu Bei's identity as King of Hanzhong.

Moreover, Jiang Jikou called Cao Cao the prime minister and Liu Bei the left general. Is this implying that Liu Bei is under Cao Cao?

Zhang Fei respected Liu Bei the most. Seeing that Jiang Ji was only the head of a district, he dared to treat Liu Bei so lightly, so he immediately wanted to yell at Jiang Ji.

But when Zhang Fei came forward from behind Liu Bei and was about to drink Jiang Ji, Liu Bei's gentle voice immediately reached his ears: "Yide retreat."

Zhang Fei was fierce by nature, but he obeyed Liu Beiyan.

Therefore, although there was still sullen expression on his face, after hearing Liu Bei's words, he still retreated honestly behind Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sat on the chief seat and saw that because of Jiang Ji's title, many courtiers in the tent began to show anger on their faces, but he thought it was nothing.

Cao Cao bullied Han Emperor because he was a traitor of the Han Dynasty. He was a relative of the Han family, and he and Cao Cao were incompatible all his life.

Frightened by Cao Cao's lustful power, it is not surprising that Jiang Ji did not recognize his identity as King of Hanzhong.

Just like he would never admit that Cao Cao's status as king of Wei is ordinary.

Liu Bei is not a person who values ​​false fame. He has been away for half his life, and he has never accepted any kind of bullying or slander.

Jiang Ji's current frivolous behavior is far from making him angry.

Liu Bei looked at Jiang Ji, and seeing Jiang Ji's extraordinary appearance, he praised him: "Although I have lived in the south for a long time, I have heard of Zitong's reputation."

"People in the world praise Zitong as a rare man in the world. He has the style of being a gentleman in the past. Looking at it today, his reputation is well-deserved."

Jiang Ji saw that he meant to belittle Liu Bei in his words, not only did Liu Bei not get angry and let his courtiers scold him angrily, but he smiled and praised him anyway.

Jiang Ji is very resourceful, of course he can tell whether the smile on Liu Bei's face is real or not.

But it was knowing that Liu Bei's praise for him was true, which gave Jiang Ji a new understanding of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's move reminded Jiang Ji of a past event.

Two years ago, there were rumors that Liu Bei had died of illness.

After receiving the news, all the ministers of Cao Cao clapped their hands in congratulations, but Yuan Huan, who was then an admonishing doctor, did not express his congratulations.

Later, someone told Cao Cao about this matter, and Cao Cao questioned Yuan Huan about it.

Yuan Huan only replied indifferently, "Xuande, you are kind to me, and I don't know how to be happy."

Although Cao Cao didn't punish Yuan Huan for this matter later, Cao Cao's courtiers laughed at Yuan Huan for being too pedantic and just an old master. What is there to miss?He even took the risk of offending King Wei and refused to congratulate him.

Now Jiang Ji may understand a little bit.

Facing Liu Bei's praise, Jiang Ji also felt something because of Liu Bei's sincerity. He bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Mr. Xuande's absurd praise."

After praising Jiang Ji, Liu Bei asked Jiang Ji, "Why did Cao Cao send you an envoy?"

Liu Bei respected Jiang Ji, a rare man in the world, and called him king.

But for the Han thief Cao Cao, Liu Bei called him by his name directly and unceremoniously.

After listening to Liu Bei's inquiry, Jiang Ji took out a letter from his bosom, and presented it to Liu Bei with both hands.

"My lord has a message to present to the public."

Seeing this, Liu Bei's waiter immediately stepped forward to fetch the letter from Jiang Ji and handed it to Liu Bei.

Under the watchful eyes of the officials in the tent, Liu Bei opened the letter Cao Cao gave him and read it.

After reading it, Liu Bei's face changed a little, but he remained calm after all.

He then looked at Jiang Jiyan and said, "I'm sorry, Zitong will go back and tell Cao Cao that he will live up to the appointment he invited."

After Liu Bei uttered these words, all the Hanchens in the tent showed surprise on their faces.

Cao Cao wants to meet their king?
Even Mi Yang felt a little surprised.

This Cao thief, if you don't retreat quickly, why do you suddenly have a video conference.

Out of surprise, the Hanchens in the tent began to discuss the matter in low voices.

Amidst the discussions among the ministers, after receiving Liu Bei's consent, Jiang Ji bowed to Liu Bei and left.

After Jiang Ji left, one of the officials in the tent came out and said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has always been cunning, and he needs to be careful about his request for a meeting."

The person who came out to advise Liu Bei to be careful is named Sheyuan.

Sheyuan, a native of Fufeng, Sizhou, is currently engaged in Zhonglang and military affairs.

She Yuan's surname is Xie, and he is of the same family as Xie in the North.His ancestor Xie Fu went out as a general, and the emperor changed the name of Xie Fu to shoot, and his descendants were Yan.

At the beginning of Xiandi, Sanfu was hungry and chaotic, his brother Shejian resigned from office, and together with Sheyuan went south to Shu to follow Liu Zhang.

Shooting aid is rare, and the Taiwei Huangfu Song is good at his talents and takes his daughter's wife as his wife.

He was also one of the eleven courtiers led by Liu Bei to persuade him to advance in last year's "Hanzhong Wang Encourages Jin Biao".

After Sheyuan persuaded Liu Bei, most of the ministers in the tent expressed their agreement with Sheyuan's opinion.

Even Guan Yu came to Liu Bei from behind Liu Bei and persuaded him: "The body of a thousand chariots should not be taken lightly."

Facing She Yuan and Guan Yu's persuasion, Liu Bei smiled and said: "What you said is reasonable, but I have already agreed to Cao Cao. Life should be based on faith, how can you break your promise?"

"What's more, I'm already a king now, and a word from the king is not to be trifled with."

The worries on the faces of the ministers did not make Liu Bei nervous, on the contrary, he did not regard this matter as something worth worrying about in his heart.

"You don't need to worry too much. When I was alone in Xudu, there were less than a hundred soldiers around me. Even if I dared to accept Cao Cao's promise, today I have tens of thousands of troops behind me."

Liu Bei's words gradually dissipated the dissuasion of Guan Yu and other officials.

But out of worry, Guan Yu still said to Liu Bei: "If Your Majesty insists on going, please bring your ministers to protect Your Majesty."

After Guan Yu finished saying this, generals Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong also came out to pay homage, begging Liu Bei to take them with them.

Facing the request of the generals, Liu Bei did not show promise.

He smiled and pointed to the worshiping generals and said, "If we take them all here, Cao Cao might not dare to show his face."

"Gu wanted to meet Cao Cao, not to kill him."

"Besides, Cao Cao stated in his letter that on the day of the meeting, all parties will only bring their nephew and nephew to meet."

After Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu's generals saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, and although they looked worried, they could only flatter the king's order.

Just for Liu Bei's safety, Zhao Yun remonstrated to Liu Bei: "Since Cao thief asked each to bring his son and nephew to go, then Guan Ping can go."

Among Liu Bei's nephews and nephews, Guan Ping is number one in terms of force.

Even if Zhao Yun faced him, it would take a lot of effort to win. Sending Guan Ping to accompany Liu Bei also guaranteed Liu Bei's safety.

If Cao Cao has evil intentions, Guan Ping's bravery is enough to support Guan Yu and others in the future.

Liu Bei did not refuse Zhao Yun's suggestion.

After all, what Zhao Yun said was reasonable, he had to meet with Cao Cao, but his own safety had to be guaranteed.

As for the other nephew to go with him, Liu Bei didn't wait for Zhao Yun to talk, but directly ordered Mi Yang.

Facing Liu Bei's arrangement, Guan Yu and others had no objection.

Although Mi Yang is not as brave as Guan Ping, he is also a skilled archer who has been trained by Zhang Fei and others since he was a child.

With the cooperation of Guan Ping, it is not difficult to protect Liu Bei.

Under Zhao Yun's recommendation and Liu Bei's appointment, Mi Yang and Guan Ping looked at each other, and then Qi Qi came to the big tent to take orders and worship.

Mi Yang had expected that Liu Bei would directly ask him to go with him.

After all, because of his previous performance, among Liu Bei's sons and nephews, he is one of the candidates who is likely to go with Liu Bei.

What Mi Yang didn't know was that the most important reason why Liu Bei ordered him to go was that Cao Cao specifically stated this point in his letter.

Cao thief wants to see his outstanding junior, how can Liu Bei not allow it?
Cao Cao chose the Han River as the meeting place.

Although many places in the lower reaches of the Han River have experienced a sharp drop in water due to seasonal reasons.

But in this place in the upper reaches of the Han River, the flow of the Han River is still unabated, and it is vast.

Cao Cao chose the meeting place in the Han River, firstly for the safety of both parties, and secondly to reassure Liu Bei that he had no intention of ambush.

On the day of the meeting, Liu Bei got up early in the morning, and then under the service of his attendants, he put on a suit of fine armor, and on top of the fine armor, Liu Bei put on a heavy robe.

This is Zhao Yun's strong request.

Under the protection of fine armor and heavy robes, ordinary blades are not enough to cause harm to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei finished dressing, he walked towards the shore under the guard of Mi Yang and Guan Ping.

Mi Yang is also fully armed today. He is wearing a Mingguang armor and a sword around his waist.

Mi Yang's dress is nothing, it's normal.

Guan Ping was miserable. Not only was he fully armed, he was also required by Zhao Yun to wear a shield on his back.

Well, he's kind of like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
It's just that Guan Ping was not harassed much yesterday, but he was the one who was almost surrounded by Guan Yu and others in his big tent.

These fierce generals in the world began to give lectures to Mi Yang temporarily.

Especially Zhao Yun, who almost told Mi Yang with his face close to his face, all the precautions after the meeting.

For example, where to pay attention, such as what happened and how to deal with it.

In the eyes of Guan Yu and others, in the three-man group of the Han army, Guan Ping was in charge of watching the three of Cao Cao on the opposite side, and Liu Bei was in charge of talking with Cao Cao.

And he, Mi Yang, was in charge of staring at the audience to see if there was any change in the surrounding environment.

Thinking about Guan Yu and others, Mi Yang was regarded as the brain of tomorrow's guard Liu Bei.

Although it is extremely difficult to arrange ambushes or release cold arrows on the vast Han River, especially for the Wei army who mostly do not understand water.

But there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Facing the careful teaching of the uncles, Mi Yang accepted it very humbly.

Although he felt that this knowledge was not as easy as giving the three of them a life buoy.

Later, if it wasn't for worrying that Mi Yang would be sluggish the next day, Guan Yu and the others would have been able to talk until dawn in Mi Yang's big tent.

After Mi Yang and Guan Ping escorted Liu Bei to the bank of the Han River, the three of Mi Yang boarded a boat.

The warship is a small warship wrapped in oilcloth.

Because of its small size, it is extremely fast on the water, and if it is in danger, it can quickly return to the shore.

And it is wrapped in oilcloth, which is also strong enough to withstand ordinary arrows.

After boarding the boat, they were punted by Mi Yang, and soon they came to the Hanshui Center outside the barracks.

Not long after Mi Yang and the others arrived, they saw three people appearing in the opposite Wei army camp.

They also stepped on one side of the boat and came towards them quickly.

Soon after, the bows of the two warships were facing each other, and Liu Bei also saw Cao Cao standing on the bow.

Cao Cao is wearing a snow-white coat today to keep out the cold, and under his snow-white coat, he is also wearing well-made armor.

After Cao Cao saw Liu Bei, there seemed to be a little fighting spirit in his weak eyes.

He yelled to Liu Bei: "Selling Lu Sheer, Rugong is here!"
