The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 125

Five days later, after the two sides finalized the basic conditions, Chen Qun had to rush back to Xudu to report to Cao Cao. He knew that Cao Cao was waiting very anxiously, and Xiahou Dun over Wancheng was also waiting very anxiously.

Zhang Wu still wanted to delay for a while, but it happened that today was cloudy, so he silently activated the "call the wind and call the rain" skill.

After a while, the overcast sky suddenly began to rain.

Zhang Wu said: "What a coincidence, it's raining, Mr. Changwen, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you get wet from the rain, you might catch typhoid fever. I think you might as well wait for a while, and go when the rain stops. "

Chen Qun really wanted to return home at this time, not to mention the rain, even the hailstorm and the knife, he had to leave. The only thing he was reluctant to part with was the fine wine and food in the Dudu Mansion. After so many days, there would be no Heavy!

"Thank you for your concern, Commander-in-Chief. It's not raining heavily at this time. Besides, I can't get wet by taking either a boat or a carriage along the way. Prime Minister Cao is still waiting for my reply, so I'll take my leave. Commander-in-Chief, everyone, please!"

Seeing this, Zhang Wu didn't stop him anymore, he insisted on leaving, so he couldn't force him to stay, so Zhang Wu said: "Well, I'll send you on board, I hope you can go back quickly, and look forward to seeing you again. "

A group of people held umbrellas and walked towards the river while talking. Chen Qun said: "I am grateful for the warm hospitality of the governor these few days. A few days ago, the governor said that there are three great joys in life. Therefore, I know that the second is the wedding night in the bridal chamber, but I don’t know what the third is?"

As soon as the words came out, even the people around who saw him off looked at Zhang Wu curiously, wanting to know the answer.They, the governor, often say some novel and far-reaching words, sometimes even Mi Heng, Pang Tong and others are extremely admired.

Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Hahahaha, everyone, please see, although this rain has brought inconvenience to our travels, our harvest for the year depends entirely on God's kindness and rain, so the third reason is that it is a long drought. Every rain comes."

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! What the Governor said makes sense, and we have learned a lesson!" Chen Qun and others praised it one after another. It was indeed one of the three great joys in life.

After Chen Qun boarded the boat, he waved goodbye to everyone: "Great Governor, Lord Xuande, everyone, farewell!"

"The mountains are high and the rivers are long. Long article, take care along the way!"

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Qun was filled with emotion as he watched the people on the shore gradually recede.Life is really full of uncertainties. When I followed Liu Bei before, I never thought that I would end up following Prime Minister Cao. Now we meet again under this situation.That Zhang Wu is really incomprehensible. He is obviously a thief, but he is both civil and military. It is incredible.

Looking at Chen Qun who is gradually going away, Zhang Wu is also quite emotional. If there is a choice, in fact, no one wants to be an opponent with someone like Cao Cao, because Cao Cao is not only a man of great talent, but also his lineup is too luxurious. .A great talent like Chen Qun is actually not considered top-notch under Cao Cao, but the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" he founded has been used until the Sui Dynasty, and he is also the main founder of the Cao Wei law "Wei Law".

This burst of rain should be able to delay Chen Qun's return to Xudu a little!

Sure enough, due to the rain, it took Chen Qunduo a day to get to Xuchang.

Cao Cao has been anxious ever since he learned that Cao Ren was defeated and captured. Especially when the person sent to find Xu Shu's mother replied that Xu Shu's mother had already been taken away, Cao Cao became even more anxious.

Finally looking forward to Chen Qun's return that day, Cao Cao hurriedly asked what was the result of the negotiation, and what was Cao Ren's current situation?

Chen Qun said: "Prime Minister, please rest assured. I have met Zixiao in person. He is fine. Zhang Wu did not abuse Zixiao." Then he reported Zhang Wu's conditions to Cao Cao, and asked: " I wonder how the prime minister plans to respond?"

Cao Cao didn't answer, but asked, "What does Chang Wen think of Zhang Wu?"

Chen Qun thought for a while and said: "This man is brave but resourceful; he is a general but can govern the people; he is a thief but he is good at poetry and literature. I have talked with this man before. My views on some things make me ashamed, it’s incredible." Chen Qun has never seen such a contradictory person, a little bit of duplicity!

Cao Cao was very aware of Chen Qun's talents. Although he was not good at making military suggestions, he was well taught by his father-in-law Xun Yu in dealing with internal affairs, and he was especially good at dealing with interpersonal problems.Unexpectedly, Chen Qun would have such a high opinion of Zhang Wu. He could never be born as a thief or a commoner. How can anyone know it from birth?
"How does this person compare to Liu Biao and Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao asked again.

"There is a difference between cloud and mud, and it is not the same!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "That Zhang Wu can be praised in such a long article seems not to be underestimated. In this case, the matter of Rangcheng and Fang Tian painting the halberd is just a matter of concern, but Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan I really don't want to give him the post of general!"

Rangcheng has already been occupied by Zhang Wu, so it doesn't matter if he agrees to the first item. Anyway, after Cao Ren rescues him, Cao Cao plans to attack Rangcheng immediately.The Fangtian painted halberd was of little use to Cao Cao, and no one knew how to use it. It didn't mean that whoever held it would be the best general in the world, it was just a souvenir.

Cao Cao can even send out the red rabbit horse, let alone a useless weapon. If Zhang Wu wants his Yitian sword or Qingzhi sword, Cao Cao may be reluctant.But Cao Cao really didn't want to agree to the second condition, because if he agreed at one point, Cao Cao would have to find a plausible excuse if he wanted to attack Jingzhou again.

"What does Zhong De think?" Cao Cao suddenly asked Cheng Yu.

"Prime Minister, this man is both civil and military, and he is quite useful. He can be called a hero in the present age. He occupies the rich and prosperous land of Jingzhou. Sooner or later, he will become a serious disaster. It should be eliminated as soon as possible." Cheng Yu is in charge of intelligence, and his understanding of Zhang Wu must be Deeper than Chen Qun.

Cao Cao thought of another incident and asked, "I heard that Liu Bei is still in Jingzhou. What's the matter?"

Chen Qun then told what he had learned, that Liu Bei only lived in Jingzhou temporarily, and did not completely join Jingzhou, but Liu Bei and his group seemed to get along well with Zhang Wu, and they often drank and played together.

Cao Cao knew Liu Bei's character very well, and he was not worried that Liu Bei would really take refuge in Jingzhou, but Cao Cao was very annoyed by the collusion between these two groups.

Therefore, Cao Cao made up his mind to temporarily agree to Zhang Wu's conditions and get Cao Ren back as soon as possible. After Cao Ren returned, he would immediately find an excuse to attack Rangcheng, then take back Fancheng, and station a large army in Fancheng to deter Xiangyang.After the army was integrated and renovated, another large force was mobilized to attack Jingzhou and eliminate the two scourges Liu Bei and Zhang Wu together.

Therefore, Cao Cao asked the emperor to grant Liu Qi the title of Shepherd of Jingzhou and Zhang Wu the title of General of Zhennan.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had become a puppet at this time, especially after the "clothes edict" incident, he was really scared, so he agreed to Cao Cao's request without saying a word, drew up a decree, stamped it with a big seal, and handed it over to Cao Cao for handling.
