    "You mean, the eldest son of the emperor is really in Yecheng?" Cao Cao slowly put down Yuan Tan's letter asking for surrender, frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang Miao, who was a little proud.  Zhang Miao and he were old friends, and they often hung out together in Luoyang when they were young. Zhang Miao's family was rich and he was generous with money, so he was ranked among the eight chefs.  Although he has no talent, his reputation is very good.  Zhang Miao nodded, "Can I have a few words with you alone?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed, hesitated for a moment, and winked at Chen Gong and others next to him.  Chen Gong and others got up and left, leaving only Cao Cao and Zhang Miao in the tent.  They have nothing to worry about. Cao Cao's martial arts are far superior to Zhang Miao. It is impossible for Zhang Miao to sneak attack Cao Cao. Moreover, Yecheng is now besieged. What Zhang Miao and the others want to negotiate are only some surrender conditions, and they will never do it.  Don't do such crazy things.  "Now you can say it." Cao Cao took two teacups from the case, turned around and took out some tea from the back tent, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Miao, picked up a cup himself, and sipped slowly.  Zhang Miao was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip first, and praised: "Good tea!" "Of course, it's the best jade dragon." Cao Cao laughed: "This is because we have been good friends in the past.  I'll let you have a taste. No one else can take a look." "The best jade dragon?" Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "It is said that it was originally a tribute tea that only Queen Lingsi could drink?" Cao Cao nodded, smiling.  language.  They are talking about tea, but actually they are talking about the favor that only relatives can have.  The Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty has passed away, and her posthumous title is Empress Lingsi. The general Song Feng became the Grand Master, which is more of an honor. It only means that the prosperity of the Song family is still guaranteed, but Cao Cao has become the successor to the power of the Song family.  That's why he could drink the best Jade Dragon.  Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "In the 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, no vassal king has ever been awarded the title of general. Could it be that His Highness King Chu wants to marry his daughter to His Majesty? When they married with the same surname, it was already a laughing stock. That's all.  , After all, I didn¡¯t know that he was from the same clan at the time. Now that I know it, do I still want to marry someone of the same clan? Is it really possible for him to do such an incestuous act? " Cao Cao was a little embarrassed.  Qiang argued: "Although the general is usually a relative, it does not mean that only a relative can do it. His Royal Highness the King of Chu has unparalleled martial arts skills and is powerful in the world. If he does not become a general, who is qualified to do so?" "Yes,  The King of Chu has unparalleled martial arts and is powerful throughout the world. I would like to ask Meng De, will he be satisfied with just being a general?" Cao Cao remained silent as if he had not heard anything.  Zhang Miao continued: "The reason why you can still be General Wenwei and drink this top-quality Jade Dragon now is not because you, Cao Mengde, have military skills. Mengde, we have known each other for many years, so I won't talk about those scenes. You  Ask yourself, if Jizhou is pacified, will the King of Chu go further? Will you still be able to drink this top-quality Jade Dragon? " Cao Cao's eyes flashed coldly: "If you want to learn from Wuzhi, you are wrong.  "Although I am not as good as Han Xin in military use, I am not stupid." "You are not Han Xin, and I am not Wu Zhi." Zhang Miao pointed at Cao Cao's heart and then at his own.  "We were all once ministers of the Han Dynasty." Cao Cao snorted and dismissed it.  "I have already told you that the emperor's eldest son is in Yecheng. Although he is a concubine, he is closer to the King of Chu after all. If Liu Xiu wants to inherit the throne, I am afraid he will have to consider the emperor's eldest son first." Zhang Miao didn't.  He said calmly, "I don't think Liu Xiu will do it himself. He will definitely do it for others, but I don't know if this person will be you, Cao Mengde." "The eldest son of the emperor is not in my hands." Cao Cao sneered.  "If he dies in your hands, I think the King of Chu will be very willing to see it." "You can't see it." Zhang Miao smiled: "We will do our best to protect the eldest son of the emperor, and we will protect him when necessary.  Rush out. But at that time, you, Cao Mengde, will not be able to escape the crime of trying to kill the emperor's eldest son. I don't think your majesty has the strength to deal with you, but there is still some way to deal with you.  I'm afraid the King of Chu would also be happy to see you in trouble." Cao Cao gently put down the teacup, clasped his hands on his belly, and said nothing.  What Zhang Miao said hit him right away.  He didn't know exactly what Liu Xiu and the little emperor said in the palace. He asked Song Feng, but Song Feng didn't understand very well. He fainted at the time, and when he woke up, the palace was in a mess.  Liu Xiu was injured, the little emperor was frightened, and an ugly-looking woman suffered multiple serious injuries and was already dead.  Later, Liu Xiu told the young emperor that the woman was the monk who tried to assassinate Liu Xiu in Jiangling. She was the master of Tan Shihuai, the king of Xianbei, and she came to avenge Tan Shihuai.  After the assassination attempt in Jiangling failed, he went to the palace, took the young emperor hostage, and hid in the palace for many days, preparing to assassinate Liu Xiu again. The Queen Mother of Song died in her hands.  Fortunately, Liu Xiu?His potential burst out at the critical moment, breaking through his realm, killing the woman in one fell swoop, and saving the little emperor.  In order to reward Liu Xiu for his rescue efforts, he broke the rules and made him a general, letting him take charge of the world's troops.  This story was told by Liu Xiu and the young emperor. It should be credible, but Cao Cao always felt that something was wrong.  The question that the little emperor might be Liu Xiu's bloodline came to his mind again. If this was a collusion between father and son, so what?  Could it be that the throne was inadvertently transferred to the line of King Chu?  Why couldn't the death of the Empress Dowager Song be caused by their father and son just to hide this fact?  If this is the case, then after the world is pacified, the power of the Queen Mother Song and her family will be weakened. Needless to say, the Song Feng family will have little room for resistance, and Liu Xiu's main target may be Cao Cao.  Now that the world is at peace, it's time for General Wei to leave Nanshan, remove his armor and return to his fields.  To him, handing over military power is equivalent to having his claws removed from the tiger and leopard. Shouldn't he be left to Liu Xiu's disposal in the future?  Therefore, Cao Cao does not want things to go smoothly for Liu Xiu. If there is no one or thing that Liu Xiu is concerned about, the Cao family will be kicked out of the court sooner or later along with the Song family.  The appearance of the emperor's eldest son gave him this opportunity, but it was also a crisis.  Liu Xiu definitely didn't want the eldest son of the emperor to still be alive in the world, otherwise he would be in a very embarrassing situation once word spread that the little emperor was of his bloodline.  But he couldn't kill the emperor's eldest son, otherwise his suspicion would be even greater.  So, having someone else kill the emperor¡¯s eldest son is the best result for Liu Xiu.  Yuan Tan doesn¡¯t want to take the blame, so should Cao Cao take the blame?  Cao Cao weighed for a long time.  In any case, the eldest son of the emperor was the son of the late emperor. If he died in his hands, he would not be able to escape the blame in the future. Even if Liu Xiu did not let him take the blame, others would point their fingers at his spine.  "I can't decide this matter." Cao Cao finally said: "I want to ask the general for instructions. The highest commander of this war is him, not me." Zhang Miao smiled: "Well, you inform him, we  Talk to him." Cao Cao also smiled.  "You must protect the eldest son of the emperor. There are many people who just heard that the eldest son of the emperor is in Yecheng. If you don't see the eldest son of the emperor when you surrender, I'm worried that you won't be able to explain it." "Don't worry about this, the eldest son of the emperor is very serious now.  It's safe, no one can find him." Zhang Miao stood up, cupped his hands gracefully, and walked away.  Cao Cao thought about it alone for a long time, and invited Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others to discuss it for a long time. In the end, he felt that it was most appropriate for Liu Xiu to handle this matter, otherwise there would be endless troubles and misfortune.  On this basis, Cao Cao instructed Chen Gong to spread the news that the emperor's eldest son was in Yecheng.  Although public opinion may not be of much use, it is better than nothing.  If the little emperor is really Liu Xiu's blood, letting the world know that the late emperor still has a son living in the world, for Liu Xiu and his son, it will make them somewhat scrupulous, at least they will not dare to be too unfeeling towards the Song family and the Cao family.  If the little emperor is not of Liu Xiu's blood, then nothing would be better. With the eldest son of the emperor, his throne will be more secure. I believe he will be very happy to welcome the eldest son of the emperor back to the palace safely, and then Cao Cao will also be affected by it.  Reuse.  After Liu Xiu received the news, he did not say anything. He replied to Cao Cao and said that this matter will be dealt with when I come back.  I am advancing the front southward, and the progress is very smooth. Most of the county towns are surrendering, and only a few county towns are still resisting.  But it doesn't matter, I believe these people won't last long.  The autumn harvest is coming soon, and I am arranging for people to harvest it. There is enough food supply, so waiting for another two months is not a big problem.  After receiving the reply, Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry.  Liu Xiu was really leisurely and carefree, and he was still thinking about the crops that were about to ripen. No wonder he was not in a hurry to rush to Yecheng to preside over the war.  Most of the powerful people in Jizhou are in Ye City. Before they surrender, they are enemies, and all the products in their fields are Liu Xiu's spoils.  If the city cannot be conquered, it will not affect the harvest of crops.  After Liu Xiu had collected all the grain, he would discuss whether to surrender or not. In any case, these Jizhou powerful men had already suffered heavy losses.  "This man is really stingy. He is already so rich that he can't even let go of this small advantage." Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were also dumbfounded.  They felt that Liu Xiu's move was damaging enough. If he waited for two more months, he would have nothing to lose. However, those Jizhou people in Yecheng were probably going crazy.  More importantly, if Liu Xiu didn't want them to surrender at all, he could take this opportunity to divide their land first, and then discuss whether to accept their surrender.  Even if they surrender, can they still let Liu Xiu spit out what he has eaten?  If we want to talk, we can only talk if we accept the status quo.  Chen Gong thought for a long time, and finally said quietly: "'It's as fast as the wind, and its speed is like the forest.' His Highness the King of Chu can be said to have applied these two sentences like fire. However, he is not plundering like fire, he is  Invasion and plundering??, unhurriedly, nibbling away bit by bit, forcing those people to have no way out, and they were in chaos.  It is really not easy to negotiate with him, and it is even more wishful thinking to take advantage of him.  ¡± Cao Cao sighed with the same feeling. rs Huashan Xianmen Dandy Madman Super Technology Powerful Country Xianhong Road Endless Sword Equipment Huanglong Real Person Other World Travel Sleepless Master Infinite Martial Arts Dream Beast Tamer Ghost Lawyer Blood Killing Online Game Lazy Man Development Plan
