Chapter 961(1/2)
Jushou carefully observed his expression and saw that he was flawless. He couldn't help but said: "...As expected, they are all sophisticated and scheming. They are worthy of being able to defend Yanzhou. Cao Cao has no worries in letting you do this. He is on the front line for a reason.
Governor Cheng is indeed a capable person. But I am afraid that Sima Yi will plot against him!"
Cheng Yu's heart was tumbling, but he didn't show any emotion. However, he secretly muttered in his heart, could he have seen something?!
That's right! If such a person had not been talented, he would not have reached his current position in the Yuan family's camp. However, it was precisely because of his righteousness that he could not be tolerated by the Yuan family based on his righteousness. Although he had
It was a pity that his talent could not be adopted by Yuan Shao. However, in the end, he succeeded to Duke Cao.
Cheng Yu felt complicated and said, "Why did you say this, sir?!"
Seeing that he still refused to speak clearly, Jushu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's all the soldiers who seek justice for the master. Even now, Governor Cheng still refuses to speak clearly. This shows how powerful Cao Cao is in controlling his subordinates. Indeed, his reputation is well-deserved. He is called Shushou."
Admired!"
"It's just that Governor Cheng thinks he can hide it from me, but he may not be able to hide it from Sima Yi. How could he know that Sima Yi didn't take advantage of his plan?!" Jushu said.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and his heart skipped an inexplicable jump!
Somehow, I couldn't sit still, and I wanted to get up a little impetuously, but I was afraid that I would be seen and laughed at by Ju Shou for being too vain, so I endured it!
Could it be that! Sima Yi was clearly trying to defend himself from the enemy, but actually he was crossing Chencang secretly? His intention was not in this city?!
Oops! Cheng Yu regrets it so much, he should have thought of it long ago!
Jushou had been observing him carefully, and could see that he was impetuous, so he sighed: "... Cheng Taishou has always acted carefully and carefully, but unexpectedly, he has also become more cautious and restrained towards his superior Ma Yi. It can be seen that this person is here, and he is very careful.
The pressure with Governor Cheng is extraordinary!"
Cheng Yu knew that he was lying to him, so he said: "If you have something to say, sir, you might as well say it! I know that sir is here to be a lobbyist! Do you want to be a lobbyist for Yuan Xi?"
"Of course!" Jushu admitted and said sternly: "General Yuan has just been defeated, and Lu Bu is going crazy when he succeeds. He will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue him and fight to the death! He forces General Yuan to retreat. I dare to ask Cao Gong, what is your purpose here?
?! If you want to attack Yuan's army, why didn't you attack yesterday? Why didn't you take advantage of their defeat to attack?! If you want to attack Lu's army, how long will Cheng Jun have to wait?!"
"May I ask what your intention is? Are you waiting for the opportunity? Or are you hesitant?! I'm just afraid that the opportunity will keep passing by and you won't be able to control it," Jushou said: "Then when will the real opportunity come again?!
”
Ju Shou raised his hands and said seriously: "Shou dares to risk his own life to ask Governor Cheng to send troops to attack Lu Bu together!"
Of course Cheng Yu knew the purpose of his coming, and it was exactly this, so he did not avoid it, saying: "Yuan Xixin is defeated, if he doesn't make any effort, he will lose again in World War II! In this case, how can our Cao army fight side by side with him?! Besides,
Cao Jun and Yuan Jun are enemies at a distance, but they are allied with Lu Jun. There is no reason to listen to the teacher's advice and attack the enemy while attacking the ally!"
Jushou snorted and said, "Prefect Cheng is worried, so there is no need to use these words to try to excuse me."
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Sparks crackled and charcoal burned in the furnace in the tent, making the atmosphere in the tent even more stagnant.
"If we don't attack, I'm afraid no one in the world can stop Lu's troops. Yuan's army will indeed bear the brunt of the attack. However, I'm afraid Cao's army will eventually become troubled by raising tigers. Don't remove the tigers when they are young. When they grow up and have full wings, they may
Easily cut off? Since the last time we conquered Xu failed, why don't we cherish this God-given opportunity? I'm afraid the time will never come again!" Ju said.
Cheng Yu was very anxious. Of course he was hesitant and did not dare to make this decision easily. However, he also knew that Ju Shou's purpose was not pure. He only became a lobbyist for the continuation and non-destruction of the Yuan family.
"If Lu Bu is a tiger, Yuan is a ferocious beast. To get rid of the ferocious beast first, get rid of the tiger first..." Cheng Yu shot back.
Jushou was silent for a moment, then smiled, knowing that probably because the lobbyist had failed, Cheng Yu would not be able to listen to him!
"The ferocious beast has been eliminated, and the new tiger has become a ferocious beast. Hahaha, there are endless ferocious beasts in the world. I am afraid that sooner or later, Duke Cao will suffer from them!" Jushou's heart was filled with sadness. Although he had expected it, he should be rejected.
At that time, he was still very sad.
"Poor thief Cao, who used the name of the Han Dynasty to build up the army of the Han Dynasty, took the army of the king's army, sought benefits for the Cao family, and did private work. Now he can control it with his power, but if he cannot control it in the future,
That's the biggest joke. I'm waiting for that day..." Seeing that he couldn't say anything anymore, Jushou started to sneer. After all, cursing is also a daily life for scholars. He couldn't help but ridiculed: "...What is a thief? What is a thief?
As a thief, he steals Han Zuo, steals Han masters, the thief calls out to catch the thief, and he is so playful... He is simply a model of a national thief... The world has lost its righteousness, and has imitated it. Male thieves and female prostitutes are endless, the world, what is the so-called world...
...Those who steal will always be stolen by others! Hahaha, remember, those who steal will always be stolen by others..."
Cheng Yu's scalp was numb after hearing this, and he was about to have an attack, but he couldn't bear the name of killing. If he didn't have an attack, wouldn't he be allowed to scold Cao Cao!
"Sir, if you can't get what you ask for, there's no need to say anything, so why seek death?!" Cheng Yu seemed to be threatening him to be cautious.
"When I came to Cao Ying, I never thought I could go back..." Jushou was quite unscrupulous and wanted to anger Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu took a deep breath and said politely, "Sir, you have come a long way, why don't you stay as a guest in my camp for a few days and then come back?"
This means house arrest.
Can I lock him up openly? Even if it is courtesy, I don’t want to be forceful.
Jushou knew that this would be the result, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "The ministers of Cao Cao are also deceitful people! Cheng Yu, do you still remember that you are a minister of the Han Dynasty?!"
Cheng Yu felt no pain and said: "Since we are all officials of the Han Dynasty, why do you need to camp in my camp? What's wrong with being in my camp?!"
Jushou really laughed angrily now and said: "As expected of Cao Cao's servant, these words are so natural, no one is surprised! Cao Cao is indeed a man of kindness and righteousness on the surface, but a dark heart. Even if
Carrying the banner of propriety, justice and shame is also so shameless, threatening externally but not righteous internally. No wonder you people are afraid of its power!"
Cheng Yu was extremely calm and said: "That's much better than Yuan Shao. Duke Cao is the most intelligent in the world. Who among the princes dares to compare with him? If he doesn't serve as the emperor, who can serve as the emperor?! Is he an idiot like Yuan Shao?! My dear
Man, a wise man, this is the master whom Mr. Ju worships!? Mr. Yuan is talented. If Mr. Yuan knew it, why wouldn’t he use it?!”
He smiled sarcastically. Seeing how helpless Ju Geqi was, he felt that there was no point in hurting each other like this.
Although killing people is heartbreaking, the current situation is still difficult to solve.
So he ordered his left and right: "Please go to Mr. Ju to rest in the tent, don't neglect it!"
Jushou sneered and said, "If you want to kill or behead me, that's all you're told! I'd rather die than live!"
"Sir, you are worrying too much. No matter how bad our Cao camp is, we still treat guests politely!" Cheng Yu said.
The soldiers from outside came in with someone, and pulled him out with half dragging, half pulling, and half asking. Although they said they would not abuse him, they would certainly put him under house arrest without being polite. This meant they were detaining him!
The counselors on the left and right were already dissatisfied and said: "Sir, this person's words are disrespectful, why not kill him?!"
"It will be useful later," Cheng Yu said: "This man is a loyal minister, so it would be unjust to kill him. In the future, he may be of great use against Lu Bu."
"Well, since you can't kill, let's arrest him first." A counselor said: "You can't let him go. Otherwise, when he returns to Youzhou with Yuan Xi, we will help him defend Youzhou. It will only increase future troubles!"
Cheng Yu has something more urgent on his mind, because his previous worries may have really happened! That is to say, Sima Yi must have discovered some information in the city that he doesn't know!
Then this war is by no means as simple as the current war.
Cheng Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then hurriedly called a few generals into the tent and ordered: "You will each take a battalion of troops to help Lu Bu clean up the battlefield. One thing, you must pay more attention. In the post-war deployment state
, if there is any change in Lu's troops and horses, they can be mobilized elsewhere. Secondly, if we can get the remains of the falcon, we can bring some back secretly..."
Several generals were busy listening to orders.
"Be smart when you go, and use this as your main priority, rather than fighting Yuan's troops!" Cheng Yu said worriedly: "Especially inquire about the Lu family's troops and horses to see if they have lost any battalion..."
"Yes!" Several generals took their orders.
"Sir..." The counselors were also shocked at this time. When they heard this arrangement, they felt a little suspicious and said, "Sir, you are suspicious, could it be..."
Cheng Yu said: "Sima Yi makes a big move, we have to guard against it!"
Cao Jun only sent troops to join the battlefield after the war to clean up the battlefield. Lu Bu only thought that they were here to pick up leaks. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon. After all, after the victory, although the battlefield was in a mess, there were still many spoils.
Especially weapons.
Therefore, when someone informed them that they were coming, Lu Bu didn't take it seriously and agreed to let them join. He continued to keep an eye on Yuan Xi.
At this time, Gao Lan had already connected Yuan Xi to his tent and put up a high defense. Yuan Bing was extremely nervous, fearing that Lu Bu would launch a second round of attacks. The current situation was also on the verge of breaking out!
After Yuan Xi left, Yuan Xi felt restless. When he learned that Cao Jun had openly helped Lu Bu, his eyes darkened.
"Stop..." Yuan Xi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Mr. Ju won't be able to come back!"
The counselor beside him was also shocked and said in frustration: "I don't know whether I am dead or alive."
After some discussion, they ordered people to go to Cao Ying to ask for Ju Shou.
However, Cao Ying paid no attention to them. He did not beat them or quarrel with them. He only said that Governor Cheng wanted to invite Jushou to stay as a guest for a few days and would send them back after a few days.
This is obviously perfunctory. Only a fool would believe it.
Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't say anything about touching Cheng Yu, he even went in to Jushou. He didn't know how he felt in his heart. It was as hard as burning his heart in strong oil. He was already frightened by the battle, and Lu Bu was still watching outside, ready at any time.
He was hit hard again, although Gao Lan and Chunyu Qiong stopped him, but he still fell ill!
In addition, Cheng Yu was not mentioned, and Cheng Yu instead joined the battlefield. Even if he only joined after the war, his army was still a threat. How could he truly relax even for a moment?
Gao Lan and Chunyu Qiong also became nervous about his illness.
Zhen Mi even cried so hard that her eyes looked swollen and said: "General, the matter has come to an end. Listen to Mr. Ju. If you go back to Youzhou, you can still be safe... If you don't go back, I'm afraid you will have to die or surrender...
I know that the general will not surrender even if he is willing to die, but if the women and children fall into his hands, does the general know what will happen to him?! The general can die for justice, but he has to leave the women and children to be humiliated, how can he bear it?!"
Say it and cry!
Yuan Xi's heart was pounding for a moment, knowing that it had touched her heart, so he said: "Okay, okay, go back to Youzhou! But retreating is not easy, and you need to come up with a good strategy with all the generals to retreat safely, otherwise
I will be chased by Lu Bu endlessly..."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhen Mi felt at ease and said: "This is a secret matter. The general will only discuss it with the generals... With General Gao and General Chunyu in custody, we will be able to escape safely!"
Yuan Xi frowned, but at this moment, in the face of life and death, he could no longer think too much about appearance. The only thing he had to consider was how to preserve it.
To be continued...
