Looking at the trembling eunuch envoy in front of him, Liu Zhang was filled with emotions.
Today is different from the past, he has truly become a hero that makes the world tremble.
When Liu Zhang first fought against the Yellow Turbans, in order not to be at odds with the Shichangshi, Liu Zhang was careful to serve even a small eunuch.
Nearly twenty years have passed, and the status and situation have been completely reversed.
The eunuchs represented the emperor of Xuchang, but when faced with the ministers of Yizhou Mu and General Wei, they were so frightened that they did not even dare to raise their heads!
"Angel, what is your Majesty's will?"
Seeing that Xiao Huangmen in front of him didn't speak for a long time, Liu Zhang could only take the initiative to ask.
"Ah! Yes..."
Xiao Huangmen was so nervous that he trembled with fright just by hearing Liu Zhang's voice.
Liu Zhang was speechless. He didn't expect Cao Cao to find this weakling as his envoy.
After all, he represents the emperor, the court, and even Cao Cao himself. Not to mention having majesty and courage, at least he cannot be as timid as a mouse, right?
He was so frightened before he even said anything. If he got even the slightest bit angry, wouldn't he be frightened to death?
"Tell me, what's wrong with Cao Cao?"
Xiao Huangmen was silent for a long time, and finally had the courage to look at Liu Zhang.
"Wei...General Wei, slave...this slave is here on behalf of His Majesty..."
The small yellow door was as quiet as a mosquito. If the room was not quiet enough, Liu Zhang would not be able to hear clearly.
"Okay, don't lie about it! Does your Majesty's words count for the current court?"
Liu Zhang glanced at Xiao Huangmen angrily. If he was really Liu Xie's envoy, he would have killed Cao Cao himself.
Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to refute, smiled awkwardly, and then put his hand into his arms.
"General Wei, this is a letter from Cao Sikong to you..."
"Cao Sikong told me to have my servant hand this letter to General Wei first..."
Xiao Huangmen took out a piece of delicate cloth from his arms, and then held it in front of Liu Zhang with both hands.
Cao Cao's letter. . .
Liu Zhang was quite curious, but he didn't expect that while Cao Cao relied on the imperial edict, he also wrote a separate letter to him!
Just as he was about to reach out and take it, he saw Xiao Huangmen's hands shaking visibly!
Liu Zhang was really drunk and kept complaining in his heart.
Is there no one left for Cao Cao? I found such a cowardly person!
After taking the letter, Liu Zhang scanned it quickly.
"Ah..."
Not long after Liu Zhang looked at it, he laughed, and then his smile became more and more obvious.
After a while, Liu Zhang handed the letter to Xun You who was standing aside, and then looked at Xiaohuangmen again.
"Where's the imperial edict? Read it!"
Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to disobey and quickly took it out.
Normally, foreign ministers should kneel when listening to orders, in order to show respect for the emperor.
After all, in Xuchang City, even Cao Cao had to kneel to receive orders.
But Liu Zhang in front of him had no intention of kneeling down.
Xiao Huangmen thought about it, but still didn't say anything, for fear that Liu Zhang would be executed if he was unhappy!
"Today I order Yizhou Mu, Wei General Liu Zhang to lead the elite troops of Yizhou and Liang to march into Chang'an, annihilate the alien Xianbei people, and subdue all the counties in Guanzhong. As for the officials of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, they will be appointed by General Wei according to their talents! I admire this!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Zhang. Take your orders!"
Liu Zhang leaned forward slightly and took the imperial edict with both hands.
After all, he claims to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, so naturally he cannot be too rude.
"General Wei, there is another imperial edict..."
Liu Zhang nodded and was too lazy to talk nonsense to this little Huangmen.
"Your Majesty Liu Zhang, accept the order."
"Now I grant the title of General Liu Zhang as the Commander-in-Chief of Yizhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou Military Affairs. After driving out Xianbei and conquering the counties in Guanzhong, I will grant the title..."
"Duke! I will give you the title of Duke of Qin and the fiefdom of Guanzhong."
It turned out to be a confederation!
There was an uproar in the room, and all the generals had surprise in their eyes.
If Liu Zhang is made a Duke, he can establish a principality, and they will all receive great rewards.
There was no need to go through the imperial court to grant a title to a general, Liu Zhang could grant the title himself.
From now on, their official positions will belong entirely to Liu Zhang's principality, and even if they confront the imperial court, they will no longer bear the reputation of being traitors.
However, the person involved, Liu Zhang, narrowed his eyes, with both joy and a hint of anger on his face.
This Cao Cao is really a loser. Since he wants to make friends with him and offer the Duke his hands, why do he let him be the Duke of Qin?
It was Emperor Gaozu who personally destroyed the Qin Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty four hundred years ago.
Doesn't this make it clear that the world feels that they are enemies of the Han Dynasty?
If Cao Cao is really sincere, he should be named Duke of Shu, or Duke named after a place like Chang'an Duke.
Although Qin Gong sounds nice, his influence is too bad.
"Lord, take the order."
While Liu Zhang was deep in thought, Xun You's voice came to his ears.
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, and then leaned forward slightly again.
"Your Majesty Liu Zhang, please accept the order and thank me!"
Xiaohuangmen didn't see the anger in Liu Zhang's heart, and thought Liu Zhang felt very good after hearing that he was granted the title of Duke, so he boldly stepped forward.
"General Wei, Your Majesty asked your servant to ask General Wei when will he send troops to Chang'an to annihilate the foreign traitors?"
Liu Zhang turned his head and glared at Xiao Huangmen fiercely.
"Hurry, let your Majesty wait for the good news."
How could a date be casually agreed upon for such an expedition, let alone when facing this cowardly eunuch?
"Yes Yes.."
Xiao Huangmen was so frightened that he no longer dared to say anything.
He stood there tremblingly, neither staying nor leaving.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Suddenly there was a thunderous explosion, and Xiao Huangmen was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Then he saw a villain standing in front of him, looking at him fiercely.
"Ah... let's go! I'm leaving now, my slave, I'm leaving now..."
Kneeling and crawling all the way, Xiao Huangmen finally reached the door, and Liu Zhang's voice came from behind.
"Wait a moment!"
Xiao Huangmen suddenly froze on the spot, showing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Wei...what else does General Wei have to do?"
This scene made Liu Zhang laugh.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking, how many angels did Cao Cao send?"
"And how did you know that Ben was in Qixian County?"
The Chang'an area was occupied by the Xianbei people, with roads cut off and news blocked.
Even if Liu Zhang takes the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, it will be difficult to spread it in a short time.
"General Qi Wei, there is only one small angel."
"As for General Wei's presence in Qixian, Cao Sikong also informed him."
Xiao Huangmen did not dare to hide anything and told Liu Zhang everything he knew.
"Cao Cao actually guessed my plan..."
Liu Zhang murmured to himself, feeling a little surprised.
He sent an envoy to tell Cao Cao that he had returned to Chengdu.
"What did General Wei say?"
Liu Zhang waved his hand and ignored it.
"You go."
"Slave, please leave!"
Xiao Huangmen was relieved and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
