[Three Kingdoms] Small people's plan

Sun Quan said: "You have already made up your mind to kill me, why bother to talk too much, why tell you the agreement between me and the emperor."

Liu Qi "hmph": "Playing tricks!"

After a while, he whispered again: "You molested the emperor like that! How could the emperor have an appointment with you!?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he laughed in his heart——Liu Qi!If you are too loyal, you will become stupid.

With the sword on his body, Sun Quan was calm, looked at Xiangyang City and said, "It was ten years ago when I first met the emperor... Ten years ago, I still clearly remember the scene when the emperor fled to my car. It was punctured, stepped on a blood mark, if it hadn't happened to bump into it and climbed into my car, I don't know what else would happen..."

It took a lot of time to connect hundreds of boats together, and during this time, Sun Quan was like a memory, telling stories, Liu Qi didn't believe it at first, but later, he listened to it, and only remembered to put the sword on Sun Quan's neck.

Sun Quan was already very handsome, elegant and natural, and he has never put down his book for more than ten years, making him even more gentle and pleasant.

Although he is in power, he always wears white clothes all year round, without any embroidery on the front and cuffs, with ebony hairpins, and a suet jade pendant, simple, clear and handsome, such a person is actually hard to dislike.

And he was never impatient, and spoke calmly and calmly. If he learned hypnosis, he would probably have already dealt with Liu Qi.

"Liu Qi, let me ask you..."

After talking about the farewell story with Liu Xie in Shouchun, Sun Quan suddenly changed the subject: "I ask you, Luoyang, when the emperor was in distress and my father and elder brother tried their best to save the emperor, where were you and your father?"

Liu Qi froze!

Sun Quan smiled, and asked again: "Shouchun, the emperor was robbed, and my elder brother and I fought with Yuan Shu's men to protect the holy car, where were you and your father?"

Liu Qi's palms were sweating, and the tip of his sword trembled. Sun Quan could have taken the opportunity to get away, but he didn't move. He turned his head, looked at Liu Qi, and asked the third question: "You think you are the emperor's elder brother, so you are qualified to intervene in the emperor's affairs. Where are you when the emperor needs you?"

Liu Qi could hardly meet Sun Quan's gaze, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier.

Sun Quan put away his smile, and said with great disdain: "What agreement do I have with the emperor, you Liu Qi, what qualifications do you have to ask?"

Liu Qi felt so guilty, even for the first time that his father killed Sun Jian, he felt sorry for the Sun family...

Just as he was about to withdraw his sword, a group of men and horses galloped up from the bank. On the back of the first horse, a general shouted: "I am Wei Yan, the captain of the Imperial Army, and I am here on the emperor's order. Who is on board!? Abandon the soldiers soon! Blade will follow this general into the city to see you!!!"

Once Liu Qi regained consciousness, the sword pressed against Sun Quan's neck again.

Sun Quan: "..."

Liu Xie was in a disturbed mood and couldn't sit still.

As long as Cao Pi does not come back, he will feel that his heart is hanging and he will not be able to implement it.

If capturing Cao Cao was Cao Pi's sole purpose, as Guo Jia said, it would make sense to exchange for Liu Xie's foothold, but if that was the only purpose, why didn't Lu Bu wait to meet him?After hijacking Cao Cao, instead of leaving quickly, he stayed in Cao Ying, and was discovered by Cao Cao's loyal generals, how could he survive?

Although he had told Lu Bu to hurry across the river, Liu Xie still couldn't feel at ease.

Cao Zihuan, Cao Zihuan, how are you doing?

Outside Deng County, the former army had already set up camp. When Xu Chu rushed to the big tent, Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang had just entered.

Xu Chu felt a little strange——

The Tiger and Leopard Battalion gathered the most elite soldiers of the Cao Army, each of whom is a strong armored cavalry, capable of one to ten sharp and brave men, the number is not large, five thousand, and it is easy to leave, unless it is a critical moment, or a decision needs to be made In life and death, Cao Cao would never be willing to send out such a team of generals with foreign surnames—even Xu Chu himself, he dared not mention a word in front of Cao Cao, for fear of arousing Cao Cao's suspicion. The leading generals were Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang.

After Cao Chun was sent to be the captain of Cao Pi's personal guard, Cao Cao took a long time to study, and then promoted Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang among the generals of the Cao family to lead the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and the Leopard Cavalry Battalion respectively. Because he valued Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang, he wanted to cultivate them, and he also meant to guard against outsiders.

Cao Pi has always been very measured in his work. Although he has a very close relationship with Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang, they seem to be close friends, better than brothers, but he never took the initiative to find these two when he was in the army.

Call Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang at this time?Xu Chu was a little puzzled, but when Cao Cao was sick with a headache, Cao Pi wanted to be crazy, and he had to beat him with dozens of army sticks to stand up.

After entering the tent, Xu Chu cupped his fists to Cao Pi who was standing with his back to the tent door: "Second Young Master, Xu Chu is here to take the blame!"

Cao Pi said: "The general knows where the mistake is?"

Xu Chu said: "The last general shouldn't leave the lord's side without authorization, please punish me, Second Young Master!"

Cao Pi still didn't turn around: "Father thinks highly of generals, generals shouldn't be proud of being favored...Punish or not punish, Zihuan dare not make decisions arbitrarily, wait for father to deal with it!"

Xu Chu was puzzled, and didn't dare to punish him, so why did he call him?

Unexpectedly, Dian Wei also came. Seeing Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang on the other side, he was stunned and said: "I have seen the second son!"

Cao Pi turned to look at Xu Chu and Dian Wei and said, "I just received a report that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were found crossing the river in Shandu County, fifty miles to the west. I ordered you two to take this order and mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to intercept them." , remember, drive Liu Bei back to the south bank at all costs! Liu Bei's subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all rare generals. In our army, there are only two generals who can fight them. If the battle is critical, send the news back to the camp , Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang prepared the tiger and leopard battalion and responded to the battle."

The generals of Cao Ying knew that Liu Bei was nearby. Cao Jun attacked Xiangyang for a day. Judging from the time, Liu Bei should have been tens of miles away. Cao Pi said so, Xu Chu and Dian Wei did not doubt that he was there.

Xu Chu was so happy that he didn't eat the army stick, and he turned to Cao Pi again, and said specially: "Second Young Master, don't worry! There is no need for the Tiger and Leopard Camp to be dispatched, we will definitely not ask Liu Bei to come to the north bank!"

Compared with that arrogant Cao Zhang, Cao Pi is naturally more popular.

Dian Wei also said: "Second Young Master, what General Xu said is that the lord is ill, so the tiger and leopard camp should stay in the big camp! Second Young Master, please wait for our good news!"

Afterwards, the two of them knelt down, received orders to go out of the tent to gather troops and horses, and left.

Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang really called them here for this matter. Cao Xiu looked at the inner tent and said to Cao Pi in a low voice: "Zi Huan, the Tiger and Leopard Camp is easy to move, you need to be more careful." Cao Cao is most afraid of someone thinking about his "tiger and leopard rider", especially Cao Pi, who should avoid suspicion.

Xia Houshang said: "Let's go back to the camp first, and come out to meet again when we get back to Xudu!"

The two were about to leave, but Cao Pi turned around and said, "Wait a minute."

He stopped the two of them, walked to the sword stand, took down the Qinghong sword and pulled it out, went into the inner tent, and said inside: "Come in."

Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang hesitated for a moment, and followed them. Cao Pi suddenly knelt down on the ground, holding the Qinghong sword in both hands, and said to them: "Wen Lie and Boren treat me like brothers, love and teach, and don't dare to forget your virtue for a day. Today, Cao Pi committed a serious crime of unfilial piety, please kill me, two brothers!"

Xia Houshang said in shock: "Zihuan!? What happened? What is this for?"

When Cao Xiu saw the blood dripping from the couch in the inner tent, his expression changed a few times, and he walked towards the couch.

Xia Houshang saw Cao Xiu's movement, and then saw the blood, and immediately pointed at Cao Pi: "You, you!"

Both of them thought that Cao Pi killed his father——

Cao Xiu uncovered the brocade quilt. Inside the brocade quilt was just a dead maidservant, not Cao Cao. Immediately he regained his composure and asked, "What did you do? Where's the prime minister?"

Cao Pi said: "Liu Xie is the emperor of the real dragon. His father blindly insisted on coercing the emperor to make the princes, but he turned a blind eye to the hearts of the people! Cao Pi was young and did not have much education, but he knew that since ancient times, those who disobeyed the hearts of the people have always brought their own destruction! From Shang to Qin, They all died due to brutality. In the past, Wang Mang usurped the Han and proclaimed himself emperor. His defeat was due to the loss of people's hearts. Today, the sword hangs high above the top! If I don't send my father to Xiangyang, in the future, it will be the time when my Cao family will fall! "

Xia Houshang was stunned: "What!? You sent the prime minister to Xiangyang!?"

Cao Xiu rushed over and slapped Cao Pi on the face: "You are crazy!!! Prime Minister, prime minister... How can the emperor give up after supporting the emperor for eight years!? If you do this, you might as well kill your father directly! To usurp power is to usurp power , but you are good! You give the prime minister to the emperor! Give it to the enemy!? I don’t want to kill you!!!”

Xia Houshang suddenly turned around and ran out. Cao Xiu was still pointing at Cao Pi and scolding him, but immediately grabbed Qinghong Sword in his hand and stood in front of Cao Pi.

Cao Xiu's hands were still wrapped in thick gauze because of the injury from grabbing the sword earlier.

Cao Pi said: "Wen Lie..."

Cao Xiu ignored him, stared outside and asked, "Boren?"

Xia Houshang looked at the door, told the soldiers to guard it, and no one was allowed to enter the account, and turned back.

The two decided to hide it for Cao Pi at this moment.

And looking at Cao Xiu's posture, if Xia Houshang dared to call other people to come in, he actually wanted to kill Xia Houshang along with him, as long as he could protect Cao Pi, he would not hesitate.

Cao Pi knew that he had made the right bet, and it was worthwhile for him to work hard for several years. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and still knelt on the ground.

Xia Houshang came in and scolded: "Seeing that you are usually safe, how dare you do such a bold thing!? You, you are selling your father for glory!! Let me ask you, the Han Dynasty has declined to this point, you think that little emperor Can you take it seriously by rewarding you with a great general!? Ah!? In this world, besides your father, who else owns the land of seven states!? Who else has so many soldiers!? What foolish thing did you do!!”

Cao Xiu pulled Laxia Houshang and signaled to lower his voice:

"It's useless to scold him. It's not yet dawn. Hurry up and pack up the people and send him back to the emperor. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late!"

Xia Houshang angrily pulled Cao Pi up: "It's not Wen Lie who speaks for you, today I..."

fight?

Although he looks like Cao Pi's elder brother, he has always been different in respect and inferiority, and has no habit of fighting. Unlike Cao Xiu who has really taken care of Cao Pi for a few years, he can still fight. No matter how good Xia Houshang and Cao Pi are, they are not close enough to fight. the point.

Unable to get the words out, Xia Houshang let go and turned his head to prepare the horse, but Cao Pi stopped him and said, "Boren, I can't go!"
