My husband Zhuge Kongming

Holding a banquet in Luoyang means that Cao Cao will retake Luoyang, which also means that Liu Bei will lose in this fight with Cao Cao.

But who is Sun Qian? How could he be offended by Cao Cao's words?

He was originally a counselor who started his career as Liu Bei, and he was also a disciple of Zheng Xuan. He was good at lobbying, so this was not a problem for him.

"Luoyang is a long way away, and my Lord misses his friends so much that he may not be able to wait that long."

In the main seat, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said with a mocking smile, "Is Liu Xuande still his true friend?"

Zhang Qian looked sincere and nodded, "Of course, my Lord always said that I would like to thank the Prime Minister for taking care of me in the past years."

"That's right. The prime minister has successively invited the emperor for Xuande, and represented Xuande as General Zhendong, Marquis of Yicheng Ting, Yuzhou Mu, and General Zuo. When he went out, he went to the same audience and when he sat down, he sat at the same table. The prime minister also asked Xuande De Yan, today the only heroes in the world are envoys and caoer. There were not many disciples at the beginning, but this is indeed the case now."

Cao Cao stroked his beard with satisfaction, expressing his kindness to Liu Bei and expressing his own good taste.

The tone was even more mocking.

Sun Qian still smiled calmly, "Therefore, my lord misses the prime minister very much, and hopes to fulfill his friendship as a landlord in Xuchang."

Cao Cao sighed that Sun Qian was worthy of being Sun Qian, so he could keep his face straight, so he nodded, "Well, after all, Xuchang was once the capital of the emperor, so let's let him fulfill his duties as a landlord."

"The Prime Minister also said it was once."

Cao Cao was helpless, but all the civil and military officials in the tent looked at Sun Qian angrily.

"Sun Gongyou, aren't you afraid of blood splattering on the spot?" someone shouted angrily.

"If a man dies, he will die, so why should he be afraid?" Sun Qian shook his head, "Besides, the only purpose is to meet old friends for my lord, why should blood be spilled on the spot?"

"you!"

Cao Cao was even more helpless, "Okay, Gongyou is here. Apart from telling the truth about Xuande's thoughts, is there anything else?"

"I came here with orders. The emperor is here and I must pay my respects no matter what."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid it's unlucky that the emperor is infected with the cold and ordered not to see the ministers."

Sun Qian was stunned, as if he knew about this for the first time, and his expression quickly turned serious, "In this case, it was negligence."

"Gongyou is a guest from afar, so why not rest in the camp first?"

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Sun Qian did not refuse.

Originally, the purpose of his coming here was to secretly mock Cao Cao, and to see if the emperor acted according to the plan. Now it seems that everything is according to the plan.

And if he didn't leave Cao's camp, it would be equivalent to telling Liu Bei and the others that everything on the emperor's end was going as planned.

Soon, Sun Qian was led down by the guards.

After Sun Qian left the tent, Cao Cao looked at everyone in the tent and said, "Everyone, Liu Dal'er sent someone to provoke!"

"Prime Minister, please transfer the last general to the vanguard camp!"

"General, please go to the Pioneer Camp! Die for the Prime Minister!"

Many generals were angry and unjust.

However, all the civil servants and counselors looked thoughtful.

"There's something strange." An elegant old man said.

"Does Zhongde think so too?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Cheng Yu, courtesy name Zhongde.

In the early days, he relied on the "preserved meat" to defect to Cao Cao. Together with Xun Yu, he strongly recommended Cao Cao to welcome the emperor, and persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei when Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao.

"Neither my lord nor Liu Bei announced this battle to the outside world, but the other party sent Sun Qian to provoke him. It is obvious that he hopes to anger my lord, but why is this so?"

"By irritating the lord and causing chaos, the opponent will have a better chance of winning!" A general replied without hesitation.

"How much could Sun Qian's words have angered him?" Cheng Yu shook his head, "So, this matter is weird."

"Actually, the weirdness should still lie with the emperor." Jia Xu hit the nail on the head.

"Emperor?"

Everyone was puzzled again. Isn't it normal operation for envoys to meet the emperor when they are on a mission? Now that the emperor is ill, it is appropriate for the envoy to wait.

"The emperor's disease is strange." Jia Xu said again, "It's summer now, and the weather is a little hot. Although the emperor is susceptible to wind and cold, it shouldn't appear on the emperor."

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, yes.

Liu Xie's illness was indeed strange, but he couldn't ignore it, let alone let Liu Xie die.

"The emperor is indeed seriously ill now. Medical Officer Liang said that if there is an accident, what we have to think about is which prince will be appointed as the new emperor."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone in the venue didn't feel much.

To them, this powerful emperor was just a puppet.

Their real master is Cao Cao.

Moreover, although Cao Cao was cruel to the Beidi family, he still treated the generals preferentially and was easy to show kindness. Needless to say, the loyalty of the entire army.

Jia Xu frowned, then turned his eyes, "Liu Bei, I'm afraid you are not plotting to kill the emperor!"

"impossible?"

"How dare he?"

"How is he going to do it?"

Everyone started talking at once, and the military tent was noisy.

"What do Wen He mean?"

"This battle must be fought. However, both the lord and Liu Bei have no name at the moment!" Jia Xu analyzed, "If something unexpected happens to the emperor, Liu Bei will be justified and have the reputation of righteousness."

Cao Cao looked deeply and could not rule out this possibility, because at this time, Sun Qian also came.

Even though Liu Xie once wrote a handwritten letter to Liu Biao asking for help, and this handwritten letter became the basis for Liu Bei to unite the heroes of the world, but due to Sima Yi's strategy at the time, this handwritten letter could no longer be used to criticize him.

But this time the emperor returned to Luoyang, and Cao Cao was the army protecting the emperor.

Although everyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on when starting a war with Liu Bei, both he and Liu Bei needed a reasonable reason to silence everyone in the world.

If something really happened to Liu Xie, Liu Bei would have his excuse.

On the contrary, Cao Cao could not stand.

"Today we have been ordered to strengthen the emperor's guard again."

"What about the medical officer?" Jia Xu thought about Imperial Physician Liang. It is true that his family members are all in Yecheng, and there is no possibility of betraying Cao Cao. "If it weren't for this reason, why would Sun Qian be here? You can't...use yourself as bait!"

Using yourself as bait?

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in denial, "Liu Da'er is not this kind of person."

He and Liu Bei have known each other for a long time. Although they have not been together for a short time, he clearly knows Liu Bei's personality.

It would be impossible for someone like Sun Qian who had been following him from the beginning to be willing to let him out as bait.

"Wen He's words must be guarded against." Cheng Yu didn't think that Liu Bei at this time was still the same Liu Bei as before.

The position is different, the power in hand is also different, and people will change.

Seeing that the two people he relied on most now said this, Cao Cao naturally had to be more cautious, "Zhongde, I'd rather you keep an eye on this guy."

"No." Cheng Yu responded.

Ever since he made "preserved meat" for Cao Cao, he had no way out.

Cao Cao was ruthless in doing things. He felt that in troubled times, such a person would be more likely to succeed than Liu Bei.

Moreover, the Cheng family has really benefited, even if they have to sacrifice again for Cao Cao at this time.
