Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 37 Liu Bei swept through Jingzhou and Xuchang was shocked!
Xuchang.

Cao Cao led his ministers to a grand banquet on the Tongque Tower!
Civil servants, military generals, concubines and nephews all gathered together. The population was large and the momentum was huge.

The bronze bird platform is several feet high, with its wings spread high. Above the wings, there is a large platform with high buildings and pavilions, row upon row, like a palace in the sky or a castle in the sky.

In front of the pavilion, on an open ground about dozens of feet wide, there were nearly a hundred banquet tables lined up.

Cao Cao was sitting on the high platform, looking down at the ministers, and even the whole of Xuchang, and the whole world!
Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao and other generals came first. They each saluted in front of Cao Cao and took their seats.

Afterwards, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and other civil servants and advisers also came one after another to salute and take their seats.

The last ones to arrive were all Cao Cao's nephews.The eldest son Cao Pi, the second son Cao Zhang, the third son Cao Zhi, the fourth son Cao Xiong, and the following sons, all young boys, followed the wet nurse and entered in order.

"what!"

"Who is that?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and his gaze fell on a person in the family members' team behind the disciples.

A woman with black hair and long hairpins, wearing plain clothes, lightly applying makeup, frowning slightly, showing a hint of melancholy, showing all kinds of love and tenderness.

Although he is mixed in among the crowd, he still stands out from the crowd and stands out!

Behind Cao Cao, two people stood.

The person on the left is Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, the tiger fool Xu Chu.

The person on the right is the newly promoted literary officer Sima Yi.

"That woman! Mrs. Zhen of Hebei!"

Xu Chu leaned over, looked in the direction of Cao Cao's gaze, and said with a smile.

"Oh? Mrs. Zhen?"

Cao Cao exclaimed slightly and whispered.

"Mrs. Zhen was originally the wife of Yuan Shang, the son of Yuan Shao in Hebei Province. Because she was born in Luoyang and has a beautiful appearance, she was called the flower of Luoyang and the daughter of Luoshen!"

Sima Yi was knowledgeable and continued slowly.

"I have also heard that this woman is a talented scholar and has an excellent appearance. When Yuan Shao was defeated in the past, this woman's whereabouts disappeared. Why is she here?"

Cao Cao turned to look at Xu Chu, his eyes seeming to be reproachful.

In the past, when he was conquering the spear king Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, Cao Cao sent Dian Wei to find Zhang Xiu's uncle and aunt Zou. When they were having fun, enemy soldiers came and killed Dian Wei, and his eldest son Cao Ang also died in Wancheng.

After conquering Jizhou, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to secretly search for Zhen Ji's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, although Xu Chu is honest, he is not stupid!
When I think back to the death of my former companion Dian Wei, I always feel like I am copying his fate.

Therefore, Xu Chu did not go to Yuan Shang's mansion. Instead, he slept in the army for half a day and went back to tease Cao Cao, saying that he had never found him.

At this time, Cao Cao suddenly asked about old things. Xu Chu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"In the past, when the prime minister conquered Jizhou, the prince accompanied him, took in the Zhen family, and stayed in the prince's house."

Sima Yi reported the truth.

"This kid actually got the upper hand!"

Cao Cao sighed, looked up at Zhen again, and whispered.

The weather is sunny and the autumn air is crisp. In addition, it is not very cold at the height of Tongque Terrace, making it even more chilly.

The banquet went very smoothly. All the officials toasted to each other and each toasted to Cao Cao. They were very happy.

While he was enjoying his drink, suddenly a war horse rode up from under the Bronze Bird Stage like flying!

Xia Houen, the sword attendant, quickly stepped down from the high platform, and faced the scouts coming from Jingzhou!
"Urgent report from Jingzhou, the situation has changed!"

"It's extremely urgent, please report to the Prime Minister as soon as possible!"

Xia Houen quickly took it, turned around and went up to the high platform, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Hundreds of people in the audience suddenly stopped talking and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao put down his wine glass and slowly opened the letter, his expression changed drastically!
"Liu Biao died seven days ago!"

"Liu Bei's five-pronged army avenged Liu Biao and attacked Jingzhou!"

"Seventeen cities were defeated in one day, and Jiangxia, the main city of soldiers and horses, has been defeated! It is unstoppable!"

"Now the troops are surrounding Xiangyang. If there is no wind and snow, they may not be able to break through in a day!"

Cao Cao was furious and even more surprised. He pushed the cup and stood up! "Jingzhou actually fell into Liu Bei's hands!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he threw the wine bottle on the table to the ground.

"Exit the table, civil and military officials, come to my house to discuss matters!"

Cao Cao returned to his normal mood in an instant and said in a deep voice.

Say that and walk away!

……

at dusk.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

All the counselors and generals are present and divided into two seats.

Liu Bei's attack on Jingzhou is already fully known.

"Not long ago, Han Song came here and was still discussing the matter of dedicating Jingzhou. It was only a few days ago. Why did Liu Bei suddenly attack Jingzhou?"

Chen Qun frowned and said, as if he couldn't believe it.

"That's right. Liu Bei's Xinye troops only number thirty to twenty thousand. How dare he attack Jingzhou with such a big fanfare and surround Xiangyang?"

Xun Yu lowered his head and stroked his beard, twirling it slightly, puzzled.

"I heard that the people of Jingzhou were resentful that Cai Mao had killed their leader and usurped power. They did not support him, but instead voted for Xuande. Therefore, Liu Bei conquered seventeen cities in a row. Not only did his troops not suffer any loss, but they became more powerful. In Jiangxia alone, the number of troops increased. One hundred thousand sailors."

Cheng Yu has many secret doors from Jingxiang, so he knows more.

"Could it be that before Liu Bei left the army, he had already calculated that there would be no war? The city of Jingzhou would surely surrender?"

"How can we be sure that Jiangxia will be captured? We must know that Cai Xun, the guard of Jiangxia, is Cai Hao's younger brother and his most trusted confidant. He will definitely not switch sides and surrender to Liu!"

Liu Ye's several consecutive question marks confused all the counselors and generals present!

Nobody knows the answer!
"It's hit!"

"I see!"

Cao Cao suddenly exclaimed, which frightened several civil servants off guard. They who were standing originally fell down on their seats.

One of them was so heavy that the seat under his butt couldn't bear the sudden blow to his butt, and it cracked and shattered to pieces.

The man's face was red with embarrassment, and he had no choice but to stand still, not daring to move at all!
But everyone's attention was focused on Prime Minister Cao.

"If Cai Mao wants to surrender to my plan, someone must have tipped off Liu Biao!"

"Now that Liu Biao knows it, he will definitely settle the score with Cai Mao. This is a plan to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Jia Xu was the best at plotting, and he could tell it all at once, and he exclaimed: "My lord, is it possible that someone is forcing Liu Biao and Cai Hao to turn against each other, and forcing Cai Hao to kill Liu Biao?"

"And this person has already determined that Liu Biao is no match for Cai Hao and will be killed by Cai Hao!"

"So before Cai Mao took action, the news of Cai Mao's murder had already spread throughout Jingxiang!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but nod, shocked by these meticulous layouts!

"Wen He, this is wrong again. Liu Jingsheng has been in charge of Jingzhou for many years, how can he know that he is definitely not Cai Hao's opponent?"

Liu Ye didn't know the mystery and asked doubtfully.

"It's hard to guard against house thieves day and night! Liu Biao's wife is Cai Mao's sister, and she's also a husband-hating sister who supports her younger brother and demons! With this alone, Liu Biao is dead!"

Jia Xu sighed and continued: "What's more, Liu Biao is terminally ill. Even if he is not killed, he will not survive for long! Whether he dies of illness or is killed by Cai Mao, in the end the hat of regicide will be carried on Cai Mao's head!" "

"No excuses!"

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Xun Yu immediately understood everything. He exclaimed and said: "Liu Bei has such a plan, which is really a serious problem for me! If my lord does not get rid of it, there will be endless troubles!"

Cao Cao sneered: "Liu Da'er has this kind of magical power? If he had even half the intelligence, he wouldn't be driven to nowhere by me!"

But then he stopped smiling and said seriously: "But what you said is true. Liu Bei is a dragon and a phoenix among men. He cannot be destroyed! Now that he has won Jingzhou, he is like a tiger with added wings. We cannot tolerate and support traitors!"

"It must be cut down!"
