Chapter 49: Cao Cao sent off his daughter and dispatched troops to Hepu II
() "Miss, it's not good! It's not good!" A girl dressed as a maid ran in in a panic, and out of breath said to the woman who was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror: "No
Okay, miss. Outside, outside,"
Seeing the little maid looking like it was such a big deal, the lady smiled softly, like a lily blooming, her hands were like white jade, she pointed at the little maid's forehead, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal, isn't it because my father betrothed me to me?"
Did you give it to Jingzhou Liu Qi? Seeing your panic, I didn’t sell you."
The little maid opened her beautiful eyes wide and blinked, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her young lady's performance, which failed to achieve the effect she expected. She pouted and muttered: "So you know everything, so I ran away in vain."
For a long time." Look
Seeing the indifferent look on the young lady's face, she rolled her eyes and couldn't help but said: "Miss, are you willing to get married like this? I heard that Jingzhou Liu Qi's green face and fangs are very scary. He also knows how to eat, drink, piao and gamble. Is this how you marry?"
The young lady's pretty and lovely face frowned, which was heart-wrenching to see. She sighed and said, "How can children disobey the words of the matchmaker and the orders of their parents?" After a pause, she smiled like a flower, like a peony in full bloom, and spoke.
: "It's not as scary as you said. What you said is a ghost. Maybe Liu Qi was a bit promiscuous in the past.
"Dang." Then, he clasped his hands together, leaning on his smooth chin, and his beautiful big eyes were full of longing: "Later, he repented and showed his talent in governing Jingzhou. His literary talent and military strategy were all powerful, and his appearance was extraordinary. Even Jiangdong Sun Ce
It's better." That lady is Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Pi's sister, Cao Jie.
"Well, in a few days, young lady, you will get married. I heard that Liu Qi also has a wife, and I don't know if young lady will be bullied after she passes away. If she is bullied, she can't tell Lord Sikong.
I won’t be able to see the young lady often in the future.” The little maid wiped away her tears as she spoke, which really made me feel pity for her.
Cao Jie was a cheerful person and didn't think there was anything to be afraid of. When he saw the little maid bursting into tears, he jokingly said, "You miss me so much. Why don't you come with me? Maybe you can still do it."
A maid from the same house. Hahahahaha.” After saying this, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The little maid was teased, but she refused to obey. She was usually Cao Jie's playmate, and their relationship was very unusual. Cao Jie didn't have the airs of a master, so she often made trouble. Although she also had such thoughts, Cao Jie said it out
, his face turned red, but he scratched Cao Jie's armpit with his hand and started to play around.
This scenery would belong to Liu Qi, but he could not enjoy it for the time being. Liu Qi encountered a problem here.
In September of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Qi's army joined forces with Cangwu, and together with Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, sent troops to conquer Shi Xie. Wu Ju was promoted to a partial general, and commanded 10,000 Cangwu elite soldiers, who were retained in the army. At the same time, Han Song was appointed as Cangwu
Prefect, governor, war rear affairs and Cangwu government affairs.
The army was led by Zhang Xiu as the vanguard general, Wu Ju as the deputy vanguard general, commanding 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 Cangwu elite soldiers, and 10,000 field soldiers. The army was commanded by Liu Qi, with Li Yan on the left wing, Huang Xu on the right wing, and Huang Zu on the left.
After the alliance, Huang Zhong led the Chinese army with 80,000 troops to attack.
When the army set off, everyone was in high spirits. Pang Tong was even more arrogant, saying boldly: "If I lead the army within ten days, I will conquer Hepu." It was very 'arrogant', but everyone believed in his strength. But Liu Qi did not
Give him a chance, drop a sentence, and wait in line.
When they first arrived in Hepu County, an unexpected person came to Liu Qi's Chinese army camp. This person was also a headache for Liu Qi.
This person is the famous scholar Xu Jing, who is famous for his talent and genius. The Yuedan Commentary made by his younger brother Xu Shao is even attracted by people like Cao Cao. He came here to make peace, and the two families stopped fighting and made peace.
Xu Jing, courtesy name Wenxiu, is fifty years old today. He was born in Pingyu, Runan. He is a famous scholar today. Together with his younger brother Xu Shao, he is famous for his criticism of people. He was later recommended by Liu Yi as Xiaolian and served as Shangshulang. He once defected to Confucius one after another.
Wei, Chen Yi, Xu Gong, and Wang Lang all took refuge in Jiaozhou with their families before Sun Ce attacked Wang Lang, and were treated courteously by Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi.
Many celebrities have friendships with him. Even Yuan Hui, who was just appointed by Liu Qi, once praised him: "Xu Wenxiu is a talented man and a wise man who can plan things. Since he has been away, he has been with the group of people. Whenever there is an emergency, he is always there.
Putting others before ourselves, we are as hungry and cold as the nine tribes at home and abroad. They have the same discipline and principles, benevolence, tolerance and compassion, all of which are effective, and cannot be repeated."
But in fact, he is a straw bag in name only. Shu Han Fu Yi Fazheng once said: "There are people in the world who have false reputations but no real ones, and Xu Jing is the same."
It turns out that in history, when Liu Bei besieged Chengdu, Xu Jing wanted to betray Liu Zhang and escape across the city. You ran away, but Liu Zhang caught him. Liu Zhang was worried about his reputation and did not kill him. But because of this incident,
Liu Bei looked down upon Xu Jing, so he did not appoint him; however, his adviser Fa Zheng made a suggestion: to use Xu Jing more important to dazzle people far and near. Although he believed that Xu Jing was old, incompetent and had no integrity, he was famous all over the world.
, if he is not appointed, it may give people in the world a bad impression and cause difficulties in recruiting talents and political appeals in the future. After thinking about it, (actually there was no other way) Liu Bei appointed Xu Jing as the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army. Liu Bei
When he claimed to be King of Hanzhong, Xu Jing was appointed Taifu of Hanzhong, second only to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, but even Zhuge Liang had to bow down to him when he saw him, but he had no real power.
For such an old man, Liu Qi has no ability, no integrity, and only a false reputation. There is really nothing he can do.
Liu Qi sent troops in the name of conquering the gentry, because he was cruel and unkind, and imposed excessive amounts of money. However, this cannot be justified. Although the gentry are usually a bit extravagant, they are the most prestigious in the state. They ring bells and strike fou when they go out, and they are equipped with dignity.
drum
The roads were full of people playing flutes and chariots, and there were often dozens of local people setting up hubs and burning incense on both sides of the road. Their wives and concubines all rode on horseback, and their children all served as soldiers and cavalry. It was considered very valuable at that time, and it convinced hundreds of barbarians, even if they were
Zhao Tuo back then could not be compared with him.
But it is still possible to treat scholars and common people. This lie will be exposed as soon as it is exposed. Liu Qi has no reputation as a military official. How can he be persuaded to make peace? If he treats him rudely or ignores him, he will definitely publicize it and pay it to the scholars in the state.
Liu Qi is definitely no longer an official. If you find someone to kill him, it won't work. Just look at Huang Zu's reputation. Killing Mi Heng, a madman, is already like this.
In this way, Liu Qi had one head and two heads, and discussed with all the counselors for a long time, but there was no result. Jia Xu suggested to do it hard, but Pang Tong didn't care. The key is that the teacher Kuai Yue firmly opposed to do it.
There was no other way, so Liu Qi had no choice but to drag it on.
