Chapter 205

Xun You's affairs are not easy to handle.I want to let go, but I can't.Xun Yu objected on the grounds that Xun You had been in Yuan Jun for too long and knew too clearly the truth about Yuan Jun's deployment.If you put it back like this, Yuan Jun will suffer.Kill it, and you can't kill it, what should I do?Just as difficult as Xun You is Zhong Yao, an old gentleman who has been arrested for a while.Guo Yuan had no choice but to send him to Luoyang, and I couldn't make a decision.Zhong Yao and Wang Xizhi Ouyang Xiu, great calligraphers who are as famous as they are, and Guo Yuan's own uncle, how could they die by my hands.

To say that the old guy Zhong Yao is really more difficult to deal with than Xun You.She doesn't have the style of a celebrity at all, she opens her mouth like a shrew cursing, thinking about inviting him to a meal.Without saying a word, he overturned the table and walked away.He sent Chen Lin and Xin Pi to persuade them to surrender, but he didn't look good either, so he scolded them bloodily and ended the matter.

These two couldn't be dealt with, so they had to deal with Yu Jin and Guo Huai first.Yu Jin was quite embarrassed, with many short wrinkles on his resolute Chinese-character face, and the bun on his head was messy, like a tuft of weeds.The wound on the leg has not yet healed, and the golden sore medicine is stuck to it. In order to prevent suppuration, two trouser legs were cut off.The two red and hairy legs are strong and strong, as if they were cast iron.

Guo Huai had a thin face, deep-set eye sockets, round eyes, staring like copper bells, staring at me with disbelief.I thought to myself, although Yu Jin is a famous player, he doesn't have much backbone at critical moments.Didn't he surrender to Guan Yu?Guo Huai's bones are very hard, so it's better not to put the two of them together for interrogation.

"Come on, take Guo Huai down and send him back to the cell." I waved my hand, and four soldiers came up outside, dragging Guo Huai out.Guo Huai didn't make a fuss, but looked up to the sky and laughed.I waved my hand, indicating to drag it away quickly.

Seeing Guo Huai leave, Yu Jin was surprised and thought to himself: "Could it be that he wants to kill me?" I stood up from behind Zhu Qi, waved my hand, and said to Jin, "General, please sit down." Being calm and self-restraining, he cupped his hands, walked aside, and sat on the floor.The iron chains on his hands, arms, and legs rattled and rattled.

"Does General Yu know that Li Dian, Jia Xin, Cai Yang, etc. all serve under the command of the real minister?"

Yu Jin calmly said: "I heard something about it." I smiled and said, "The general was captured by mistake, what is his plan?" Yu Jin smiled wryly and shook his head.I said: "The family members of the Duke are all in Xuchang. The truth has been properly protected. The wife and children are all unharmed. How can the Duke thank me?"

Yu Jin raised his lowered head suddenly: "Really!" I clapped my hands twice towards the door, and Simpi led several people out of the corridor.One and three teenagers, five or six years old.

When Yu Jin saw it, he immediately jumped up and rushed forward.The man said loudly: "General—General—" The three children also chirped: "Father—Father—" Two of the younger ones were already crying loudly.

The middle-aged woman hugged Yu Jin and cried bitterly: "General, it's good that you're fine, our family can be reunited again." Yu Jin counted them one by one; "Tian'er, Feng'er, Long'er, you're all fine, that's great, too Alright——" Mrs. Yu Jin said sadly: "Thanks to General Yuan for taking care of me, otherwise, our family would never see each other again." I waved my hand casually: "It's a trivial matter, a trivial matter, the truth has always been admired." He respects General Hu Wei, and taking care of his family is his job, not a big deal."

Yu Jin's wife Yingying bowed down: "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for saving your life. The little lady is very grateful." I thought to myself, it's useless for you to be grateful, you have to be grateful for Yu Jin.

There was another rattling sound of iron chains, and Yu Jin's tall and straight body, like a mountain, fell short and fell to his knees: "Prime Minister, Yu Jin is willing to surrender, please forgive me."

"What is the crime, what is the crime?" My heart blossomed with joy.He hurried over to help him up; "The general abandons evil and pursues good, with immeasurable merits. He will be reinstated as an official from now on, and he will be named the prefect of Hongnong. The truth, immediately ask someone to return the land and mansion. You go home first and reunite with your wife and children. In a few days, follow me to the expedition."

After thanking Yu Jin for his kindness, he took his wife and children to go.Simpi then took the official document and went to return the property.

The ban on surrender in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is too general.I have always had doubts in my mind, how could a famous general who has experienced many battles and is not afraid of death, who broke through the rain of guns and arrows, be greedy for life and afraid of death, so he surrendered so easily.This is very different from Yu Jin's character and style.The only explanation is that Yu Jin attaches great importance to feelings and cannot let go of his wife and children at home.As a result, I tried it out.That's right.

Just as Guo Huai was about to be interrogated, his own soldiers came to report: "Prime Minister, there is a man named Liao Hua outside the door asking to see you." He had already heard from Jiang Bing about the story of the No.2 General of the Han Dynasty. When you go there, people will come.

Liao Hua was young, in his teens, of medium height, with a big head and a solid body, with an appearance that would make a weak-willed person vomit.I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and stammered: "This—that's—that is, the No.2 general of the big man, second only to Lu Bu's master, Liao Hua, General Liao Yuanjian. I heard that you used [-] elite soldiers to beat Cao Jun ten times. Wan, beat Xu Zhongkang with one move, and I want to see you, what a hero out of a young man!"

Liao Hua was triumphant and carefree: "Prime Minister, don't say that, I was cheating with Cao Cao, the main purpose was to delay time and help you win this battle, Prime Minister, I am here for no other reason than to join the army Yes, Prime Minister, do you accept me?" I thought to myself, can I not accept the No.2 General of the Han Dynasty?Dare I not accept me?Besides, Liao Hua really made a great contribution this time. Without his help, Cao Cao would not have suffered such a miserable defeat.

Distinct rewards and punishments are the most important rules for being handsome.I slapped the table, and jumped up: "General Liao Hua, you have made great contributions, and I can seal you as partial general, commander of the No. 20 First Division, what do you think?" Thinking of it, he was a general when he came here, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and bowed his hands again and again: "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister."

Liao Hua said again: "Prime Minister, what is a division commander?" I said: "A division of the Hebei Army has expanded to 5000 people, and all of them are under your command. Whether you are satisfied or not." Said that our army is attacking Tongguan, the last general please be the vanguard." My mother, there is no general in Sichuan, Liao Huacai, to be the vanguard, and there are many famous generals here, so how can I let you go if you are so rich.

Seeing my hesitation, Liao Hua said, "Could it be that Cheng can't trust the last general?" I thought to myself, Liao Hua's ability is only average, there is still a distance from the general, and he is a little short of being a pioneer.Then he said tactfully: "Yuan Jian, there is already a vanguard to attack Tongguan, you can wait for the next time." Liao Hua was disappointed and thought he was unlucky: "Okay, then I will wait for the next time. But, prime minister, if the vanguard defeats Yes. You must let me go!"

I smiled wryly in my heart, and praised on the surface: "Okay, General Liao is indeed a great general. Our Hebei army has you, so why worry about the world." Liao Hua is not humble at all: "Yes, with the ability of the general, he will definitely be able to help the prime minister unify. All over the world." I broke out in a cold sweat, my muscles tightened, and goosebumps fell all over the floor.There really is him, General Liao Hua!

Liao Hua left and it was getting dark.It's time for dinner.

At the entrance of the Xiangfu hall, four bamboo curtains are connected together.On it is a colorful painting of rice fields with light mountains and bright waters.I don't understand how a person like Cao Cao would hang such a nondescript and incompatible work in a murderous meeting hall.Could it be to calm down the uncontrollable blood and murderous aura in his heart.Looking out from the gaps of the bamboo curtains, you can clearly see the beautiful lanterns hanging in the courtyard.Shine the ground with a radius of tens of feet.

A green and delicate figure appeared behind the bamboo curtain.My nose was hit by a strong aroma.The green figure waved to me through the bamboo curtain: "Come out."

"Cao Jie—" I yelled, lifting the bamboo curtain and going out.

Cao Jie was holding a jade bowl as green as her dress, coldly pushed it to my chest, and said bluntly, "Drink it, it's specially cooked for you."

I stretched out two hands and stroked the back of her hand: "What is it?" Cao Jieqi said: "If you don't take it, I'll drop it." I thought to myself, even a jade seal dares to drop, what else can you drop? No way.He hurriedly snatched it from her hand.It was a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, still steaming.Cao Jie turned around and left with a cold and pretty face.I stopped her and said: "Wait a minute, I just have something to tell you." Cao Jie said with a sullen face, "Would you like to spend the night in my room? Come on." There was no trace of emotion in her words, it was cold Can freeze brain nerves.I said: "No, I want to propose marriage to your father, and I want to ask if you would like to marry me."

Cao Jie's tender body was startled: "Are you really willing to propose marriage to my father?" "Yes, the letter has been written, and the dowry is also prepared. I will send Simpi to Tongguan in the future, but I am afraid that you will not."

Cao Jie sneered and said, "I don't want to? Do I have a choice? If you want to propose a marriage, hurry up. I can wait, but the baby in my stomach can't wait." I was stunned: "You are pregnant, why didn't you tell me?" Cao Jie wept, and said with some difficulty: "You are really willing to propose marriage to my father, and you can show me the letter." This beauty didn't even give me half of her trust.In his mind, I'm even worse than a bastard.I hastily took out a letter from my pocket, opened it and handed it to him: "Here, you can read it for yourself. There is also a gift list at the back, which is my betrothal gift. How could I wrong you, don't worry. "

It is really not easy to be a prime minister. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many opportunities in every day.I remember eating a pot helmet at sunrise, and my stomach was already growling.While Cao Jie was reading the letter, I picked up the spoon and put the lotus seed soup into my mouth.Cao Jie stretched out his hand suddenly and knocked the spoon off his lips, "Forget it, don't eat it." The spoon and a spoonful of lotus seed soup fell to the ground and broke.

I was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" Cao Jie said with a straight face, "I've been poisoned! Don't eat it."

"Poisoned, you want to kill me."

I jumped up and shouted, "You, you want to kill me?" Cao Jie grabbed the jade bowl and threw it on the ground, shouting hysterically, "That's right, I made the poison myself, and you forced me to do it."

"I forced you to kill me?"

Cao Jie swung round and slapped me, angrily said: "I hate you, you come to my room every night to play with me, do you know that I have a child. Do you treat me like a human being?"

I didn't dodge, and accepted the slap and Cao Jie's resentment, "Then why did you let me go?" Cao Jie raised the letter in his hand and said, "If it wasn't for this letter, you would have died long ago. The same Poison, I also prepared a copy for myself. Let's go to the underworld together."

I sighed and said, "I don't blame you, I will send someone to Tongguan to propose marriage as soon as possible. But in the future, don't think about killing me—"

Cao Jie bit his lower lip tightly, stared at me with wide eyes, turned around suddenly, his shoulders trembled twice, and quickly ran away.

I didn't expect that Guo Jia's plan of keeping close friends would save my life by mistake.

It was Guo Jia's strategy to propose marriage to Cao Cao-separate marriage.The purpose is to separate Cao Cao and Ma Teng.According to what was written in the letter, if Cao Cao agreed to propose marriage, it would definitely arouse Ma Teng's suspicion, and the two were likely to have internal strife.If you don't agree, Cao Jie's reputation will not be guaranteed, and the entire Cao family will be ashamed.

When the letter was delivered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was so angry that he stared at Simpi as if he wanted to eat him alive.Simpi didn't care, and said in his heart, your daughter is in our hands, how dare you do anything to me?He didn't let Cao Cao look at each other.Cao Cao laughed suddenly; "Yuan Xi wants to be the real son-in-law, well, you asked him to propose marriage by himself, and wanted to see if he was sincere." Simpi curled his lips and said frankly: "Mr. Cao, you are joking Well, Yuan Cao is at war. You asked my lord to come to Tongguan to send sheep to the tiger's mouth. There is no such idiot in the world. That is simply impossible. There is something that I forgot to tell the prime minister. Ling Qianjin Cao Jie is already pregnant. Liujia is going to give birth soon, and giving birth out of wedlock will inevitably attract the criticism and ridicule of the heroes of the world, and at that time, Mister will lose face."

Cao Cao seemed to be sitting on a stove, jumping up high: "You say, Jie'er is pregnant with Liujia—" Cao Cao stomped his feet and said, "Yuan Xi, I won't kill you, I swear I won't be a human being."

Simpi persuaded: "Mr. Cao, calm down. If you kill Yuan Xi, you will not kill the father of your grandson. This is fratricide, please think again." Cao Cao was furious: "Fart, you dare to talk nonsense, believe me If you don’t believe me, I’ll let you peel your skin.”

Simpi sneered and said: "No nonsense, it's okay. Just give me an answer quickly, Mr. Cao, is this marriage going to happen or not?" Cao Cao, who had experienced such a useless attitude, jumped on his feet and said, "Get out, get out of here .” Simpi bowed and saluted, and walked out calmly, not worried at all about not being able to complete the errand.

"Wait a minute—" Cao Cao called to Simpi from behind, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Okay, I agree with you, and you let Yuan Xi choose an auspicious day to come as a bride price."

Simpi laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, my lord has asked the emperor to grant a marriage, and the imperial decree will soon be passed on to the princes of all walks of life, and he will definitely not fall into the prestige of Mr." 'The appellation is extremely disgusting.When Simpi said this, he clearly reminded Cao Cao over and over again that he was already a commoner, and he no longer had any titles or official positions.If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter, Cao Cao must have put Xin Pi in a frying pan.

Simpi brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry as dowry gifts.They are all placed in Hongnong.Cao Cao agreed to the marriage.Simpi returned to Hongnong, escorted by two hundred soldiers, and found fifty or sixty drummers, who played and beat, and sent them to Cao Cao's mansion.Cao Cao was afraid that Yuan Bing would make trouble in the city as an internal response, so he drove away two hundred soldiers and drummers, leaving only Simpi alone.

Xinpi stayed in Tongguan for two days and basically completed the marriage procedure.Before leaving, he bought a lot of gifts, wedding cakes and other things in the city, and when others asked him, he yelled loudly: "My lord Yuan Xi is going to marry Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie, so he ordered me to hire her. My lord and Mr. Cao will be a family from now on, and the surname Yuan and Cao are not all the same in this world."

It didn't take long for this word to reach Ma Chao's ears.Ma Chao immediately went to see Ma Teng, and told Ma Teng what he had heard: "Father, I am right, this Cao Cao and Yuan Xi are actually in the same group, and they are married, so they will definitely threaten Guanzhong. Maybe Cao Cao is Yuan Xi's internal support."

No one would believe that Cao Cao was the internal response of the Yuan family.However, Ma Teng still became suspicious.Is the so-called sparse inseparable relatives.Who knows if he, Cao Cao, would want to surrender after his defeat.Otherwise why would he marry his daughter to the enemy.If Cao Cao and the Yuan family join hands to cooperate internally and externally, and Tongguan falls, the army will arrive at the city of Chang'an in less than a day.If Chang'an is broken, the entire Guanzhong cannot be kept.No, plan ahead!Be the first to strike first.

Seeing Ma Teng circling on the ground, Ma Chao knew that his father was losing his temper, so he urged: "Father, give me a soldier and horse, and within three days, I will definitely take Tongguan."

Ma Teng was still calm, and he scolded: "Nonsense, you go to fight Cao Cao, what if the Yuan soldiers outside Tongguan take the opportunity to attack the city?"

Ma Chao was impatient: "Then what do you think should be done?" Ma Teng murmured: "To kill Cao Cao, you can only kill Cao Cao by outsmarting, not by force, otherwise Guanzhong will be in danger!"

Ma Chao couldn't wait to ask: "How to outsmart?" Ma Teng rolled his eyes: "How do I know, you go find Fu Gan and Zhang Ji, they have the most ideas." Ma Chao thought, well, let's find them to discuss .So he sent someone to invite him.Fu Ganzhang came here soon.They also knew about Yuan Cao's marriage, and knew that Ma Teng must have summoned him for this matter.There was already a small meeting between the two of them on the way——
