Cao Cao is in the hall of Shangshutai!
Seeing the guards carrying the furnace cauldron with crossbars and leaving, he hurriedly asked: "What are you doing?"
Pointing at Chen Gong, Cao Cao said: "I said, I will kill him! Now that he is here, you carry him away?"
Several guards stopped and looked at Xun Yu blankly.
While Xun Yu led Chen Gong and others in, he said: "Sikong, when Jiangdong's envoy comes, we still have to receive him with courtesy and don't make people laugh."
Cao Cao said angrily: "Do you think I am joking? Xu Chu!"
Xu Chu hurriedly ran in from outside and said: "Lord!"
Cao Cao pointed at Chen Gong and said, "Kill him!"
Xu Chu suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and strode towards Chen Gong.
When Xun Yu saw this, he was a little disappointed and stepped aside.
Still having fun!
Okay, I'll play with you!
Xu Chu rushed to Chen Gong in a few quick steps.
Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Stop, I will come in person!"
Xu Chu yelled, stood beside Chen Palace, and handed the sword to Cao Cao who was walking over.
Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao without changing his expression.
Cao Cao became even more angry.
Do you really think that I, Cao Cao, dare not kill people?
Cao Cao walked up to Chen Gong, grabbed the sword from Xu Chu's hand, pointed it at Chen Gong, and sarcastically said: "Chen Gong, you have today too! Today, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives!"
Chen Gong said nothing and looked at Cao Cao calmly.
Cao Cao angrily raised his sword and stabbed Chen Gong.
Everyone around, including Xun Yu and Guo Jia, lowered their heads. No one stopped him, and no one said a word.
The sword stopped in front of Chen Gong's throat.
Cao Cao: "."
This group of people!
No one stopped me!
What are they doing?
Don't you know if you can give me a step down?
I swore an oath at the foot of Xiaopei City that day that I would kill Chen Gong if I saw him again.
Now, how can I break my promise?
Moreover, I really want to cut Chen Gong into pieces with a thousand swords!
This Chen Gong actually betrayed me and took refuge with that reckless man named Lu Bu!
Even the young boy who finally took refuge in Jiangdong still refused to admit his mistake to me!
How unreasonable!
Cao Cao's breathing became a little rapid.
His eyes were red.
At this moment, he really wanted to poke a hundred and eight bloody holes in Chen Gong!
But in the end, Cao Cao put down his sword, suppressed his anger, squinted his eyes and said: "For the sake of Jiangdong——"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Chu who was on the side grabbed the sword, stabbed it towards Chen Gong and said: "This man shot an arrow at the lord under Xiaopei City and made a sneak attack. He deserves death. It's hard for the lord to do it. I'll do it." !”
Cao Cao slapped his helmet, causing him to stagger to the side.
Xu Chu said aggrievedly: "Master, why did you hit me?"
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and glanced at Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You and others around him, wishing he could spit at them.
They don't take action, why do you, a reckless man, need to take action?
Cao Cao took the sword from Xu Chu's hand again, put it back into the scabbard on the latter's waist, and said angrily: "Xu Chu, you reckless man! You idiot! Just die!"
After saying that, he angrily returned to the hall of Shangshutai.
Xu Chu touched his helmet and looked at Xun Yu imploringly. He pursed his lips towards Cao Cao's back and said, "My lord, what do you mean? What did I do wrong?"
Xun Yu sighed and said, "You did a good job. Go and rest. This is not your place to interfere."
Xu Chu said aggrievedly and turned to leave.
Xun Yu then made a gesture of invitation towards Chen Gong.
Chen Gong walked into the hall of Shangshutai.
Cao Cao took his seat and took a sip of herbal tea. Then he looked at Chen Gong standing in front of him and said, "Tell me, what are you here for?"
Chen Gong said: "I'm here to ask for a daughter from you, Sikong, on behalf of the Marquis of Wu. We will marry Qin and Jin so that they won't infringe each other."
Cao Cao said angrily: "Idiots are talking about dreams!"
"Why didn't he offer his daughter to my son to marry?"
"Besides, he sincerely doesn't want to make friends. Does he want to make me angry?"
"There is no one in Jiangdong? I have to send you Chen Gong!"
Xun Yu gently pulled down Cao Cao's sleeve.
Cao Cao's voice gradually lowered.
Xun Yu whispered: "Sikong, pay attention to etiquette. Besides, you know each other well, so there is no need for this. It is better to go straight to the point."
Cao Cao: "Wen Ruo, you actually underestimate me? Do you think I dare not kill him?"
Xun Yu sighed and said: "Who knows the friendship between Ming Gong and Gongtai? What's more, I have worked with Gongtai. Now that Yuan Shao is about to go south, Ming Gong doesn't need to lose his temper like a child."
Cao Cao: "."
Chen Gong also replied at this time: "Marquis Wu is so young and has only given birth to one son so far. If Sikong is not willing to marry a daughter to marry Qin and Jin, then it is okay to marry his granddaughter to Marquis Wu's son."
Cao Cao was furious.
Anyway, it’s me, Cao Cao, who gets married?
I am Sikong!
I am the one who controls the emperor!
Just as he was about to retaliate, he saw Xun Yu saying to Chen Gong: "This is a very good thing, and Sikong will definitely consider it seriously. However, Sikong has many daughters, and the specific ones need to be discussed. Please bear with me for two days, and I will wait for you. Please take a rest and we will make relevant arrangements as soon as possible.”
"Nowadays, Jiangdong and the imperial court are at odds with each other. It is important to help each other and work together in the same boat."
"So you don't have to worry too much."
"It's been a long journey, so don't tire yourself out."
Looking outside, Xun Yu said: "Come here, take the envoy to your residence, and take good care of him. He will comply with every request."
A small official walked in from the door and made a greeting to Chen Gong.
Chen Gong glanced at Xun Yu, bowed, and turned to leave.
It wasn't until Chen Gong disappeared outside that Cao Cao said angrily: "Look at Chen Gong, this bitch! The more polite you are to him, the more deadly he becomes -"
Facing the obviously disappointed look on Xun Yu's face, Cao Cao swallowed back the rest of his words and changed the subject to Guo Jia, Xun You and others: "Tell me the reason why that kid Lu Yi sent two envoys in succession. .”
Xun Yu's face looked better now.
Xun You stood up and said: "Ming Gong, according to the intelligence, Jiangdong is fully recuperating."
"Although there are military training in Hefei at Ruxu Port in Lujiang and Lukou Port in Yuzhang."
"However, these should be prepared for future wars in Jingzhou."
"There will be no war with Jingzhou in the short term."
"Then, there is only one place where Jiangdong is so eager to unite with us, and that is Xuzhou."
"Now that the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is coming to an end, in addition to us, Xuzhou will also be attacked."
"Jiangdong probably wants to save Xuzhou from Yuan Shao."
"Once there is a loss in Xuzhou, then there will be Guangling."
"At that time, Yuan Shao's army will cross the river from Hailing Port in Guangling to attack Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's rest and recuperation will stop."
"Not only that, Yuan Shao's army attacks with the arrogance of a great victory, and Jiangdong may also fall as a result."
"Therefore, protecting Xuzhou is a must to allow Jiangdong to continue recuperating and recuperating, and it is also a must to protect Jiangdong."
Cao Cao nodded.
At this moment, Guo Jia stood up and said: "Although it feels a little impossible, water has no constant momentum, and soldiers have no constant shape."
"We cannot conclude that Jiangdong will definitely not attack Jingzhou in order to recuperate."
"After all, Jiangdong trains troops in Hefei, Ruxu Port and Lukou Port."
"The soldiers and horses in these three places can almost point directly at Jingzhou at any time."
"Nowadays, Jiangdong has just experienced major and minor wars, spending countless amounts of food and grass. It really needs to recuperate."
"However, if Jiangdong has a better and faster way to capture Jingzhou, I believe they will do it by force."
"Moreover, this new master of Jiangdong is completely different from Sun Ce."
"Sun Ce's previous attack on Chu'a relied on brute force, his leading the way, and the soldiers' fearlessness of life and death."
"The same goes for taking Danyang, Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other counties."
"But the new master of Jiangdong used clever tricks to capture Xuzhou."
"Even now, think about it, gentlemen, do you dare to imagine that you can easily capture Lu Bu? Capture Xuzhou?"
Looking at Cao Cao and Xun Yu, Guo Jiada said: "Anyway, I don't dare to think about it."
"Since the new master of Jiangdong can capture Xuzhou so quickly with methods we dare not imagine, then we might as well imagine boldly that he is preparing ways to capture Jingzhou with strategies that we did not expect."
"But, after all, we are next to Jingzhou."
"When the new master of Jiangdong wants to take Jingzhou, we will not stop him from taking Jingzhou, so we sent envoys twice in a row to form an alliance with us."
"As for Xuzhou, I think that the new owner of Jiangdong can send an envoy once."
"For our own safety, we will also form an alliance with him to prevent Yuan Shao from going south."
Xun Yu frowned and said, "Fengxiao, what possible strategies do you think Jiangdong will use to capture Jingzhou?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "I can't think of it. It's precisely because I can't think of it that I feel dangerous."
After a pause, Guo Jia added: "Also, although I don't want to admit it, our current situation does not allow us to make too many choices."
"Once Yuan Shao goes south, if we don't surrender, we will have no choice but to resist."
"Moreover, it is not enough for us to resist alone. We must unite with Xuzhou in Jiangdong."
"Then we are no longer able to deal with Jingzhou or Jiangdong's sneak attack."
"It will be good for us if the new master of Jiangdong comes to marry Qin and Jin."
"only--"
Cao Cao said solemnly: "Just?"
Guo Jia said quietly: "Once Jiangdong sends two envoys to form an alliance this time, it is really to capture Jingzhou, and it captures Jingzhou. By then, Jiangdong will control Jingzhou, and it will become a terrifying existence. Even, No less than Yuan Shao."
"Jingzhou is rich in products, has a large population, and has many noble families."
"Once it is controlled by Jiangdong, both food and military resources will be greatly improved."
"Moreover, Jiangdong's soldiers are no longer limited to the navy."
"Jiangdong has always had the advantage of naval forces, followed by land forces."
"But after we master Jingzhou, we can train the army and cavalry in Jingzhou."
"By then, the land battle in Jiangdong will be equally matched with ours, and the navy will be better than ours."
"We are completely passive."
"If Jiangdong starts a war with Yuan Shao again at that time, I'm afraid we will be caught in the middle -"
Guo Jia didn't say any more.
However, everyone shuddered.
