Chapter 916 Nursery Rhymes
On the other hand, the envoys sent by Sima Yi were not easy to come to Xiangyang.
From north to south to Xiangyang, the generals guarding the fortresses in various places should have cut off this envoy from the enemy, but the other party kept saying that Sima Yi had something important and wanted to see Cao Cao, and if he killed him, he would definitely regret it.
The various reasons made the guards hesitate. The rules since ancient times were not to be executed, and they could only report them layer by layer. In the end, they found that it was really not easy to kill the person, but they sent people to keep staring at him and escorting him to Xiangyang.
Cao Cao also heard that Sima Yi's envoy was coming to see him, and was curious and confused: "Is it possible that Sima Yi came to surrender?"
"I believe that he has no reason to surrender."
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "You know, Sima Fang died at the hands of His Majesty. During the Battle of Guandu, Sima Fu also died at our hands. We had a deep hatred with Sima Yi. How could he surrender?"
Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said, "Wen Ruo's words are reasonable. Sima Yi has been the emperor for many years. This is the first time he sent an envoy to the south. There must be some plans. Wen Ruo, what do you think I will deal with this person?"
Xun Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't recommend killing me if I can see you. If I'm not guessing it wrong, this person will definitely come for Zi'an."
This is possible for Chen Yang to come.
If Chen Yang is gone, it will be difficult for the Wei Dynasty to fight Sima Yi to the end.
After thinking for a while, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Take him in."
After the envoy came to Xiangyang, he was controlled in the inn. Everything on his body had to be checked every two hours, and even the mezzanine inside his belt would not be spared in his hair.
After all, it was sent by the enemy country, so we had to be careful. Now Cao Cao still wants to see him. If he doesn't check it carefully, the guards dare not take him into the palace at will.
After completing the various procedures of the inspection, the guards took the envoys to leave the inn. Hundreds of people surrounded him along the way and entered the palace city in a mighty manner. During this period, he did not do anything that was unfavorable to him.
"Tian Wu, I have met His Majesty of the Great Wei!"
The envoy named Tian Wu bowed very politely, and he was very polite.
"My Great Wei is an enemy of Jin, but Sima Yi asked you to see me. What is he trying to do?" Cao Cao asked with his eyes narrowed.
Tian Wu bowed again. When facing Cao Cao, he was under a lot of pressure, especially when he thought of his identity, he said after a while: "I have a letter here. Our Majesty wants me to pass it to His Majesty of the Great Wei. I will understand after reading it."
He presented the letter.
When this letter was in the inn, the guards checked it over and over again. Even if it appeared here, it was no exception. The guards around Cao Cao were checked to ensure that there was no problem before they could be sent.
Tian Wu felt a stern when he saw this, and thought to himself that Cao Cao was guarding him, that was really awesome.
"Your Majesty of the Great Wei Dynasty, I have no intention of coming here." He immediately expressed his sincerity.
Cao Cao read the letter carefully for a while, suddenly laughed and asked someone to send it to Xun Yu next to him, and said, "Sima Yi wants to make peace with me and stop starting a war?"
"Make peace?"
Xun Yu had not had time to read this letter, and was stunned for a moment. He had thought of many possibilities, but he did not expect that Sima Yi would still have to make peace. What an incompetent approach.
"Our Majesty believes that if the two countries fight each other and fight a lot, they will definitely harm it and will not benefit the people of the world. If Your Majesty of the Great Wei is willing, Your Majesty can retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River and return all places such as Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou to quell the turmoil."
Tian Wu said sincerely: "Your Majesty also promised that our great Jin Dynasty will never invade the south again, and will be written into the patriarchal law to warn future generations."
Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other and could see the incredible look in each other's eyes, even surprised.
Will Sima Yi make such a great sacrifice just to make peace with Cao Cao?
Is this possible?
Of course it is impossible. Sima Yi is not a person who voluntarily suffers losses, and he will not do such things that benefit others and not yourself.
Unless he is a fool, or a lunatic, or even has suffered some blow recently.
"What trick did Sima Yi have?" Cao Cao asked sternly.
Of course, if he asked this, he would definitely not be able to ask anything.
"Our Majesty really has no tricks, please rest assured His Majesty the Great Wei."
Tian Wu hurriedly said: "The reason why Your Majesty proposed to do this is that he really doesn't want to fight again. Secondly, from the perspective of strength, Da Jin is far from the opponent of Da Wei, and it is also a way of seeking peace. I hope to go down peacefully with each other."
"impossible!"
Xun Yu immediately said, "I understand Sima Yi as a person. He is ambitious and will never make peace with us."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, stared at the other party and said, "Drag this person down first, take twenty poles and imprison them, and I will deal with them separately!"
Tian Wu said excitedly: "Your Majesty of the Great Wei Dynasty, please listen to me again!"
Cao Cao did not give him this opportunity, so the guards dragged him down and beat him up, throw him into a prison and locked up.
"Wenruo, what do you think about this?"
Cao Cao couldn't see through it.
"I believe that there must be a fraud. Sima Yi cannot make such a great sacrifice, and he will never give up Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou."
Xun Yu said with certainty: "They made peace with their purpose. I just said that maybe they came for Zi'an, but I don't know what they want to do."
"If I were not mistaken, we have locked up Tian Wu now, and Sima Yi will definitely send a second person."
Since there is any plan, Sima Yi will definitely carry out the plan to the end. Tian Wu is far from being able to accomplish anything and cannot express sincerity.
Cao Cao's heart sank: "I want to see if the second envoy comes again, what news can it bring to me? I'm afraid that by that time, Zi'an has taken down Xuzhou. A few days ago, Zixiao sent someone to send the news back, and Zi'an arrived in Ruyin."
Xun Yu smiled and said, "When Zi'an swept across the north, why do we need Sima Yi to return it?"
"I like Wen Ruo's words!"
Cao Cao laughed and did not take this envoy to heart.
In the downtown area of Xiangyang.
Qiao Wan and Qiao Qian sisters were wandering around here, and bought some things for their homes. The hands of several servants behind them were not free at the beginning of the market.
"Wei Wuzuo, the world is in chaos, the sun sets, and a song of Li Ren tune."
"Cao Wutou, raise his head high and rise, the general bends his bow and shoots the sunset, how can he be the king!"
While they were wandering around, they suddenly heard a few children singing nursery rhymes beside them.
