Soldiers come to the world

In the room, Liu Jing handed Cao Cao's personal letter to Jia Xu, "The military adviser will take a look first, and then we can talk."

Jia Xu recognized Cao Cao's handwriting on the envelope at a glance. He immediately cheered up, sat up straight, opened the letter and read it carefully. When he arrived, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing again.

Jia Xu returned the letter to Liu Jing and said with a smile: "This is Prime Minister Cao's usual style. The letter only narrates friendship, and Cao Zhi should be the one to discuss the serious matters. But I am a little surprised that Prime Minister Cao Cao actually asked Cao Zhi to come as an envoy." Jingzhou."

"What's so special about this?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

Jia Xu nodded, "If he sent his confidants here, there would be no problem at all, but this is the first time he sent his son as an envoy. Of course, maybe he wanted his son to hone his skills, but I think Prime Minister Cao seems to be I want Cao Zhi to lead the affairs of Jingzhou."

"He will take the lead?"

Liu Jing couldn't help but sneered, "I think he's only 20 years old. He can take charge of Jingzhou's affairs for his father? Be careful not to spoil big things."

"Don't worry, my lord! Prime Minister Cao knows well that he will not let his son do bad things. I think he should have explained everything, and maybe next time there will be an important minister to help him."

Liu Jing thought about it, and suddenly understood, "The military adviser means that Cao Cao wants Cao Zhi to inherit his mantle?"

Jia Xu quickly shook his head, "There is no certainty, Cao Pi should be the one who should be the main one, but Prime Minister Cao may also consider letting Cao Zhi succeed. As far as I know, he loves this third son very much, and often tells people that Cao Zhi is the most like him. More importantly, Cao Pi didn't handle some things well, which made Prime Minister Cao very disgusted and affected his succession."

"Like what?"

"The most serious thing is that Cao Pi took advantage of the chaos to accept Zhen's family. Eight months later, Zhen's family gave birth to a son. Do you think this child is Yuan's or Cao's? Although Prime Minister Cao didn't say anything at the time, but We all know that Cao Cheng is quite dissatisfied with his son's lust."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "Cao Cao is also a lecherous person, and his standing is not straight. How can he blame his son for sitting crooked?"

Although Jia Xu surrendered to Liu Jing and loyally assisted Liu Jing, deep down in his heart, he always felt a little guilty towards Cao Cao. For example, he never directly called Cao Cao by his name, but called Prime Minister Cao. , is the reason.

Jia Xu shook her head, "This is actually related to lust, but to the succession of offspring. It would be fine if Mrs. Zhen was unmarried, but she is Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law. Asking the medical officer to do a body check and then marrying her without authorization, how could Prime Minister Cao not be angry?"

Liu Jing smiled and asked again: "Then what's next?"

"There is also the death of Zhang Xiu. Cao Pi took advantage of his father's expedition to "force" Zhang Xiu to death. Although I don't know what happened later, I know one thing very well. Cao Pi "forced" Zhang Xiu to death without his father's consent. This will inevitably make Prime Minister Cao furious, and the impact will be very bad. More importantly, the revival of the remnants of the Yuan family is also due to Cao Pi's improper handling, which has affected the decisive battle in Chibi. idea."

Liu Jing nodded, "Let's not talk about this matter, let's talk about business! What does the military adviser think Cao Zhi is here for?"

Jia Xu pondered for a while and said: "If I guess correctly, Prime Minister Cao wants to negotiate with the lord!"

"What are you negotiating for?"

"It should be because we want us to give up Guanzhong. Frankly speaking, our Guanzhong strategy made him sleepless, but he tried his best to resist it, so I can only beg the lord not to go north again."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "Can this kind of thing be solved by asking?"

"That's why he sent his son to negotiate!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "I think Prime Minister Cao will definitely make a big concession. If the lord wants to, he can open his mouth. As long as he can do it, he will agree, and even the lord can ask for the title of king."

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Does the military commander know a eunuch named Mi? It is said that this person is Liu Xie's confidant eunuch."

A look of disdain appeared on Jia Xu's face, "It's just a habit of breaking sleeves, why mention him?"

"He's here too. In fact, he's been here since the beginning of the year. The last time he was supervising the sacrificial ceremony, he delivered Liu Xie's message for me by the way. But this time he was sent by Liu Xie to confer on me."

Jia Xu was very sophisticated, so she immediately understood what Liu Jing meant, "My lord, you mean, this person is the poisonous snake that Cao Cao put beside Liu Xie?"

Liu Jing nodded, "It would be weird if it wasn't for that."

Jia Xu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly said to Liu Jing: "In that case, my lord, why don't you meet this eunuch Mi first, and then see Cao Zhi again."

In the afternoon, the eunuch Mi Ying read the imperial decree to Liu Jing in the prefectural government office. Liu Jing's eldest son, Liu Zhi, was Marquis of Ting and Lieutenant of Jia Zhenwu.

Sure enough, as Liu Jing expected, in the decree, neither Yizhou nor Hanzhong was mentioned at all. Liu Jing sneered in his heart and kowtowed to thank him. Eunuch Mi gave the decree to Liu Jing, and whispered to Liu Jing: " The old slave has a few confidential words that I want to pass on to Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing knew that he wanted to pass on Liu Xiezhi's words, but when he thought of Jia Xu's evaluation of him, he felt sick. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said with a smile: "Please, Eunuch Mi, pour me a cup of tea from the official room." Eunuch Mi Xing Ran entered the official room with Liu Jing, he sat down and looked at Liu Jing affectionately, seeing Liu Jing's back went numb, and said to several soldiers: "You all retreat first!"

The soldiers retreated, Liu Jing took a sip of tea, and said coldly: "If you have any secrets, please tell me!"

"When the old slave was about to leave, the Holy One asked me to tell Zhou Mu a word, 'Since Qing has already ruled Jingshu, why didn't you send the king's master to enter the Central Plains to save the country of the Han family? Could it be that Qing also has other ideas?'"

Eunuch Mi's voice was very thin. He imitated Liu Xie's voice, with a gloomy air, and his tone was full of resentment, like the resentment from the bones of a widowed woman who has been widowed for many years.

Liu Jing lowered his face and said nothing, his heart was full of disdain. He could imagine that when Liu Xie said this, his eyes were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction with himself. A person who has been suppressed for a long time must have a distorted heart. This kind of person uses the normal way to persuade him.

After a while, Liu Jing said calmly: "Eunuch Mi, let's make a deal!"

A flattering smile appeared on Eunuch Mi's face, "Please tell me, State Shepherd, this old slave is willing to make a deal with State Shepherd."

Liu Jing suddenly stared at him coldly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, as if piercing straight into someone's heart, Eunuch Mi was so frightened that his heart trembled, his legs shuddered, and only Liu Jing's cold voice was heard in his ears, " How should I answer to the Son of Heaven, you tell me, as a condition, I can pretend not to know about your affair with Cao Cao..."

Liu Jing drew out his sword, pressed it on his neck, and said in a low voice: "

If you dare to double-face me, I will let you die! "

Eunuch Mi was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his crotch was wet for a while, and he was incontinent to urinate. Liu Jing didn't want to look at him again, so he drew his sword and shouted: "Come on!"

Several personal soldiers walked in quickly, Liu Jing pointed at Eunuch Mi, "Eunuch Mi is ill, send him to the expensive hotel to rest!"

. . . . . . . .

When Eunuch Mi went to the state government office to announce the decree, Cao Zhi did not go with him. On the one hand, he hated this eunuch who was neither male nor female, and on the other hand, the arrogance in his bones made him not want to see Liu Jing so soon.

In the room, Cao Zhi was drinking and singing on the qin. At this moment, there was a strange sound in his qin, which stopped abruptly. Cao Zhi asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Guan Cheng's nervous voice came from the courtyard, "Young Master Cao, my state shepherd is here."

"Okay, I get it now."

Cao Zhi agreed casually, and he adjusted the tune again, but Liu Jing's laughter came from the courtyard, "Mr. Zhi wants to be Boya, but unfortunately I am not Ziqi."

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, he got up and walked to the front, only to see Liu Jing wearing a lavender fine linen robe and a flat scarf, looking at him with a smile on his hands, Cao Zhi's face was a little hot, although he was A noble person also knows how to treat guests. He did not expect that Liu Jing would condescend and come to visit him in person. This moved him and greatly satisfied his vanity.

He hastily cupped his hands and said, "Zijian is being rude, please come in and sit, Zhou Mu!"

He frantically put away the piano and wine cups, straightened his clothes, and opened the door. Liu Jing walked in with a smile, "You came here uninvited, Mr. Zhi, please forgive me!"

"I'm being rude, Zhou Mu, please sit down!"

Liu Jing was not polite, and sat down facing east, and Cao Zhi also sat down. At this time, Guan Cheng brought up two cups of tea, and Liu Jing nodded, "Back down!"

He took out a letter from his pocket, put it on the table and gave it to Cao Zhi, "This is my reply to your father, I hope you will convey it for me."

"sure!"

Cao Zhi put away the letter, leaned back and said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to Zhou Mu Jinjue for becoming the Duke of Chu, and the official appointment as Hussar General. This is second only to the Great General, and his rank is higher than that of the three Dukes, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing shook his head, "It's a pity that there is nothing I want here. I want Yizhou Mu, but your father didn't give it to me."

Cao Zhi didn't expect Liu Jing to be so frank, and immediately got into the subject. After all, he was inexperienced, and he didn't know how to go around in circles to test Liu Jing's bottom line, and he didn't know that he could ask for a lot of money first, and then slowly pay back the money with Liu Jing on the spot.

He pondered for a while and said: "My father said that if the state shepherd wants to serve as the Yizhou shepherd, it is fine, and if he wants to be crowned king, it is also fine. As long as the state shepherd agrees to one thing, then the state shepherd can ask for an official title."

"Then what is it?" Liu Jing asked pretending to be puzzled.

Cao Zhi hesitated, he didn't know whether he should just say that, but Liu Jing smiled and said: "If Mr. Zhi finds it difficult, then I won't ask. I may leave for Yizhou tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so I came here to ask Mr. Zhi Farewell!"

Liu Jing cupped his fists and was about to get up when Cao Zhi hurriedly said, "Please sit down and listen to me."

Liu Jing looked at him with a smile, "My lord, please tell me, Liu Jing is all ears!"

Cao Zhi sighed and said: "The state shepherd knows Jiuxi, one is chariots and horses, the other is clothes, the third is musical instruments, the fourth is Zhuhu, the fifth is Nabi, the sixth is hundreds of people from tigers and bees, the seventh is ax and axe, and the eighth is bows and arrows." , Nine is called 駬鬯, the most honorable, if the state shepherd agrees to this matter, my father can even ask for an order to add nine tins to the state shepherd!"

Liu Jing laughed, "Even your father doesn't dare to talk about adding Jiuxi. Liu Jing's official position is lowly. If Liu Jing dares to have such a heart of arrogance, Jiuxi will be exempted, and the title of king will also be exempted. Yizhou Mu can consider it. Please tell me straight up, my lord!"

"Okay! Then I'll get straight to the point."

Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "My father hopes that the state shepherd will not go north to Guanzhong after five years, and all the conditions of the state shepherd can be raised."

Liu Jing was really disappointed, even someone as talented as Cao Cao proposed such unrealistic conditions, what conditions could he have to make himself agree, Jiuxi and Wang Jue are still the Son of Heaven, The issue is. . . . .Is it possible for me to agree?

Liu Jing was silent for a moment, and said in a mocking tone: "Since any conditions can be raised, then I will raise the conditions, please tell your father, Mr. Zhi, if he is willing to retire and return home, I am willing to take over his position as prime minister." How about sharing the world's hard thinking for him? Will your father consider it?"

Cao Zhi was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, he was angry and flustered, his face was flushed.

At this time, Liu Jing glanced at him, and said lightly: "I'm just joking about the position of prime minister, I don't have the respect of your father, but, my son, tell your father for me, I have a clothes and belt edict in my hand, I can give it back to him if he wants."
