Compared with the generals who were promoted during the day, the people sitting here were actually civil servants, few of whom Cao Wu knew.
The main seat is empty. The first seat on the left is the famous scholar Kong Rong. Below him is Cao Cao's chief secretary Yang Xiu. The two of them are raising glasses together to the person on the right.
Cao Wu suddenly opened the curtain and came in. The whistling wind blew into the tent from outside. Kong Rong narrowed his eyes and saw that it was Cao Wu. His expression was awkward and he smiled again: "Why is Po Tian coming? I was there a few days ago." Xiangyang City, your maid has helped you make a great name!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They were all celebrities who had participated in the Xiangyang Conference. They knew that Cao Potian was another client of Ma Ta Daru. They did not expect that Kong Rong not only did not blame Cao Wu, but also spoke for Cao Wu as soon as he came up. The embarrassment of sudden intrusion.
Yang Xiu in the next chapter was born in the Yang family of the fifth generation and the third Duke. He has always been proud of his talent and learning. However, when he saw Cao Wu's poems at the Xiangyang Celebrities Conference, he was still amazed. Those poems were not only good in verse, but also innovative in the seven-character poetry style. , which broadened the path of poetry creation and can be called a pioneering work.
He felt ashamed that his poetry was not as good as Cao Wu's. Now that he finally saw Cao Wu in person, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Seven-Word Saint Cao Potian, I heard Zijian talk about what happened that day, and then I realized that General Beifu has such a poetic talent. It is really wonderful!"
All the scholars were shocked again. Who didn't know that Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu were proud of their talents and showed their sharpness. Facing Cao Wu, he even complimented him, which shows that Cao Wu's poetic talent held a high place in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Cao Wuli ignored the two of them. In the eyes of everyone, Cao Wu was extremely envious of the compliment, but Cao Wu didn't take it seriously at all.
He didn't even lower the tent curtain, walked straight to the middle of the tent, and asked loudly: "Who is the envoy from Jiangdong?"
The scene suddenly froze. Some people wanted to scold Cao Wu for being a young man who did not understand etiquette and was disrespectful to great scholars like Kong Rong. However, they remembered that in Xiangyang City that day, the vicious brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong killed people on the spot. , threatened not to disrespect General Beifu, so they all shrank their heads, no one dared to say a word.
Among the full seats, there were only a few people who were not from Xiangyang and were here as guests of Cao Ying. Yang Xiu was one of them. Seeing the awkward situation, he wanted to smooth things over. Before he could speak, on the other side, the man on the right stood up and said with a humble smile: "I have met Gu Yong of Wu County, General Beifu. "
He had never heard of the word "Beifu General" before. He only said it when Yang Xiu mentioned it.
Immediately afterwards, two more people stood up, one calling himself Yu Fan and the other Lu Ji.
Yang Xiu smoothed things over and said, "Potian, these three are Jiangdong envoys. They are here to seek peace."
"Seek peace?"
Cao Wu seemed to have heard some big joke. He looked around and realized that there was no one who understood in this big tent.
He laughed twice, making Yang Xiu look embarrassed, laughing, Kong Rong was surprised, and all the celebrities in the audience were confused.
Today, all the celebrities have seen the power of the Five-Tooth Ship, and Jiangdong Army has no way to compete with it. With the help of the five-toothed ship, Cao Jun won the battle in the morning, harassed the enemy camp in the afternoon, and won again. Under such circumstances, the opponent knew that he was outmatched and came to seek peace. Is it strange?
Those who are smarter here, such as Yang Xiu, don't believe that the other party is sincerely seeking peace, but the two sides are just listening to each other's mouths, and each is getting what he wants under the pretentiousness and submissiveness. There is nothing ridiculous about it.
Is this Cao Wu also conceited of his talent and unruly? Thinking of this, he was concerned about his demeanor and didn't say much.
The three Jiangdong people also looked stiff. Just as they were about to answer, Cao Wu stepped in front of Lu Ji and kicked over the tables where he was kneeling.
Kong Rong looked angry, and this young man really didn't know how to commend himself. Yang Xiu finally got anxious and shouted regardless of his grace: "General Cao, what are you doing?"
Cao Wu continued to ignore them, grabbed Lu Ji's collar and said, "You said you are Lu Ji, Lu Ji from the Lu family in Jiangdong?"
Lu Ji's face turned pale, he clenched his fists and said tremblingly: "Yes...yes..."
Cao Wu looked at him playfully and said, "Then do you still remember that a man named Zhang Song took your seat? He made you sit on a shabby seat? And he called you a rat?"
I have to say that these three fake Jiangdong envoys are indeed somewhat similar to the original real people. If they had a normal relationship, they would really be deceived. However, Cao Wugang had argued with Lu Ji several times and was most familiar with him. When he grabbed the collar and took a look, he knew it was a fake.
He was sure that Zhen Lu Ji would not be able to reach Cao Ying in time and would never be easily deceived.
He grabbed the fake Lu Ji, but Lu Ji still pretended to be confused and tried to stir up the situation, shouting: "General Beifu, you are going too far. We are envoys. When the two armies are fighting, how can we treat envoys like this!"
All the celebrities also looked at each other in shock. They were ordered by Cao Cao to come to the battlefield to watch the battle, and were invited by Xun You to accompany the Jiangdong envoy. They had finally had a good meal, but Cao Cao's younger brother came to show up.
This was considered extremely rude, but despite the warnings from Cao Ren and Cao Hong, none of these famous soldiers dared to speak out despite their trembling lips.
Only Yang Xiu foolishly tried to persuade him. Suddenly, with a "pop" sound, Yu Fan broke a porcelain bowl into pieces and came towards Cao Wuhua with the broken pieces.
Cao Wu turned around with the fake Lu Ji, and the porcelain bowl immediately scratched the fake Lu Ji's back.
He threw the fake Lu Ji away suddenly and brought the fake Yu Fan to the ground.
Gu Yong also followed the same example, broke the porcelain bowl, and directly kidnapped Kong Rong who was closest to him.
With the sudden change, Yang Xiu's hand stretched in the air stiffened, and the mouths of the scribes were also opened wide. Kong Rong's face was sweaty, and he looked at the people at the table. The six sons of Jian'an looked anxious, but did not dare to step forward. The others Avoid looking.
Gu Yong held Kong Rong hostage and said, "Don't come forward! Otherwise I will kill him!"
Everyone was in disbelief, but Cao Wu laughed and made a sign of please.
When Gu Yong wanted to speak again, he heard a "swish" sound, and a dagger flew in from outside the opened curtain, hitting him between the eyebrows.
Blood flowed from the center of his brow, Gu Yong opened and closed his lips, fell to the ground, and could not say another word.
Cao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not lower the curtain just so that Ah San outside the tent could support him at any time. Now it seemed that this backup was quite important.
Fake Yu Fan and Fake Lu Ji got up and wanted to run again.
During the banquet, all the celebrities shouted and gave way, and some of them had already ran outside the tent.
Only Cao Wu drew out the sword in his hand and said: "Kill one, keep one!"
Then, the celebrities saw a gust of white wind drifting into the tent, hitting the two fakes like lightning.
Within a moment, Yu Fan had been beheaded, and Lu Ji was nailed to the ground with a sword.
Only then did the celebrities observe that the lightning was a woman in white. Her clothes were whiter than snow, and there was no blood on her clothes, but she could kill one person every ten steps.
His sharp edge was evident when he killed, but his sharpness was gone after the incident.
This scene was more terrifying than seeing the battlefield in the daytime, because the dead person was right next to him, and he had drank with him not long ago.
A celebrity felt his lower body go cold and was so frightened that he peed out, fearing that Cao Wu and the murderous female demon would come towards him.
Cao Wu didn't care what the people present thought. He grabbed the fake Lu Ji, raised him in front of Yang Xiu and said, "The envoy from Jiangdong has another person. Where is the fake Zhang Zhao?"
Yang Xiu was trembling and showed no sign of celebrity. He pointed to the back of the tent and said: "My lord has a headache today and cannot raise the tent. Therefore, I met Zhang Zhao in his military tent."
Hearing this, Cao Wu's pupils suddenly shrank.
Jiangdong's assassin has actually gone to Cao Cao.
"How long has Zhang Zhao been there?"
"It's been a while..."
In just a few words, Yang Xiu felt that all his strength had been spent.
In Cao Wu, he actually had the feeling that when facing Cao Cao, he would accompany the emperor like a tiger, and his happiness and anger could determine his life or death.
After Cao Wu and the female murderer left, he sat back at his table dejectedly, almost peeing in fear.
Just as he was about to rest, Cao Wu looked back at him, frightening him to stand up again.
"Is Tiger Chi here?"
"General Xu? With my lord, General Yuan Rang is also there. With the two of them, General, don't worry, it should be fine."
Cao Wu felt more at ease.
But he immediately thought that Zhou Yu and Pang Tong were not stupid. How could they not know that there were guards around Cao Cao?
The name of "Hu Chi" is known all over the world. Unless Lu Bu and Dian Wei come back to life, or Gan Ning and Huang Gai come together to kill him, who can assassinate Cao Cao?
Since they knew Xu Chu was there, why did they send assassins here?
