Chapter 384 Going to the meeting (1)
What is this? Is Hongmen Banquet?
Faced with Cao **'s sudden invitation, Liu Chuang didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Promise? God knows if Cao ** has an annihilation plan! But if he doesn't agree, wouldn't he be weaker? The most important thing is that Cao ** said that his life is not long and he doesn't know whether it is true or not. Although according to the news from Xu Du, Cao ** might have really happened, but taking risks is not done by a gentleman. As the lord, how could Liu Chuang take risks as easily as before?
but……
After Dong Zhao retreated, Liu Chuang looked at Fa Zheng and Yang Jun.
"Hyuki, do you think I should go?"
"this……"
Even if Liu Chuang attaches great importance to Fa Zheng, he dare not make a judgment easily.
If this is a trap, Liu Chuang would inevitably encounter danger when he went to Weishi. Such a result would not be something that Fa Xiaozhi could bear.
Yang Jun was even more speechless and sat aside without saying a word.
Liu Chuang also knew that it was a bit embarrassing for them to come up with an idea, so he waved his hand and signaled Fa Zheng and Yang Jun to retreat for the time being.
After coming out of the tent, Fa Zheng and Yang Jun also looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
This kind of thing is indeed not something they can make a decision...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That night, Liu Chuang couldn't fall asleep.
He was still wondering whether he should go to Weishi.
Standing in the big tent, Liu Chuang looked at the giant map in front of him with his hands behind his back.
But there was a mess in my mind. Cao ** was poisoned by someone, and the problem was probably serious. He withdrew from Xu Du and lost the Han Emperor, which was equivalent to losing the biggest bargaining chip. What should he do next? If Cao **’s problem was not very serious, he should immediately command the troops, take back Xu Du, kill the rebellion, and regain control of the Han Emperor. But he did not let him do this, but instead continued to recover his troops.
This also shows that Cao**’s problem is really serious, maybe just as he said: his life will not last long.
At this time, Cao ** invited him to go to the Weishi, what was the purpose? Could it be that he wanted to kill himself before he died?
This is possible!
After all, Cao ** still has a powerful force in his hands.
Even though he was at a disadvantage in Yuzhou, he still controlled Yanzhou and Qingzhou, including Xuzhou.
Holding the three states, even if Cao ** dies, he still has the strength to fight. If he doesn't help, he will retreat to a prince, so there should be no big problem.
He also has a son, and it is said that Cao Pi is now the prefect of Guangling and is in charge of Guangling.
Since the boy made a mistake last year, he was driven to Hailing to prepare for the naval affairs. According to detailed information, Cao Pi did a good job in Hailing! Although he was not old, he had quite a few tricks to gather some talents. In a short time, he had already prepared the prototype of the navy. Of course, that navy is just a prototype. If he wants to achieve combat power, he will not be able to complete it in a few years.
Cao ** wants to pave the way for Cao Pi?
It's possible, very likely...
As long as Liu Chuang is killed, Hebei will inevitably be in chaos.
When Liu Chuang was there, he could bring together the northern heroes.
But if Liu Chuang is not here...Lu Bu, Xun Chen, Sima, and Zhuge, who would be willing to surrender to others? If it is not good, it will be a situation of fragmentation. At that time, Cao Pi can take the opportunity to regain his lost territory. Well, this may be a surname, or even a large one.
When Liu Chuang thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
I thought so, but he always felt that Cao ** had no malicious intention to find him.
He is Cao **'s son-in-law. If Cao ** is really in danger, if he refuses to go, wouldn't he miss the last chance to meet this hero? Liu Chuang and Cao ** have been fighting for several years, and it can be said that they are not giving in to each other. However, in Liu Chuang's heart, he always had a slight affection for Cao **. In his previous life, he liked Liu Bei for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms... But after he was reborn, he had a few confrontations with Liu Bei, and he really disdained this so-called kind elder. In contrast, Liu Chuang's favor for Cao ** is far better than Liu Bei.
If you really miss the opportunity to meet Cao ** for the last time, it would be a pity.
Go, or not?
This problem gave him a great headache. After thinking for a long time but not getting any results, Liu Chuang stepped out of the central army's tent and looked up at the sky.
The starry sky in November is extremely dazzling.
The weather is very cold, but the stars are twinkling, dotted in the night sky.
After a long time, Liu Chuang suddenly laughed!
This is true. The higher the status of a person, the more afraid of death... If he had been in the past, when he had nothing, he would go to the scene without hesitation. Think about the time he was in Qu County, he dared to step on Qu County; think about the time he was in Beihai, he dared to sneak into Ban County alone. At that time, how could he have so many concerns now? As long as he thought it was right, he would do it without hesitation.
Cao** is the person I respect the most.
Since he invited me, I would go there no matter how hard he could do it.
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang's mood suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
I think in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Guan dared to attend the meeting alone; now I also want to learn from Guan Yunchang and go to Weishi to see the last time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As the sky was dawn, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi appeared outside the gate of the Han army camp with their men.
The two met outside the gate, and were both stunned at first, then dismounted and bowed to meet.
"Zhongda, why are you here?"
Sima Yi was in a state of dust and seemed to have been on a long journey.
Since his wedding, he has traveled around and his footprints have spread across Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Jiaozhou. More than a month ago, he set off from Nanhai County on a sea boat and arrived at Lijin City, Pingyuan County. After getting off the boat in Lijin, he received news of the Battle of Guandu, so he hurried over.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was also here, Sima Yi was also confused.
"Kong Ming, if your lord didn't order you to preside over the battle of Liyang, how could you come to Guandu?"
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are like two proud peacocks, and neither of them is willing to bow to the other person.
But this time, both of them obviously had something to worry about. Zhuge Liang did not fight back against Sima Yi, but instead whispered: "Have you heard of it?"
"You have heard of it, how could I not have heard of it?"
"Yes, it was really a bit sudden. When I got the news, I was also shocked.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yi and Wei Huang colluded with Zhang Xiu, and they actually cheated Cao **... It is really surprising that Cao **'s hero in his life fell into these sluts in the end. The Cao army in Liyang is now retreating to Henan. I am worried that there will be trouble on my lord, so I rushed over. By the way, what is the idea of Cao **'s sudden shrinkage of troops?
Logically speaking, with the power in his hands, it is not a big problem to seize the revenge.
But...you said, could it be..."
Sima Yi glanced at Zhuge Liang and whispered: "As far as I know, Cao **'s situation is not very good!"
After Cao ** was poisoned, he would definitely block the news.
Sima Yi was able to find out that Cao ** was not in good condition under this situation, which means that he was surrounded by Cao ** and had eyes and ears.
Zhuge Liang nodded and walked into the gate side by side with Sima Yi.
But when the two of them entered the big tent, they realized that the atmosphere in the big tent seemed a bit solemn.
Everyone... including Fa Zheng, Yang Jun, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Lan, and Pang De were all sitting in the tent, and in addition, there was a stranger.
"Why is Mr. Gongren here?"
When Sima Yi saw Dong Zhao, he couldn't help but look shocked.
He knew Dong Zhao. Although Sima Lang visited Dong Zhao when he was in Xudu, he even received praise from Dong Zhao.
If it were before, Sima Yi would definitely hide from Dong Zhao.
But now, the situation is different... Sima Fang's uprising in Luoyang can also be regarded as a demonstration of Sima's attitude. Sima Yi does not need to continue hiding and can walk to the front of the stage openly.
When Dong Zhao saw Sima Yi, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Zhongda has also followed Uncle Liu."
Sima Yi smiled and bowed to Dong Zhao, "Uncle Liu is my cousin, so it's not surprising that I will assist him."
"Uncle Liu, how could he be your cousin?"
Dong Zhao was very surprised by such news.
Even though Sima Fang had contributed to Liu Chuang before, no one knew the relationship between Sima Fang and Liu Chuang.
Even Cao ** was confused. How could Sima Fang suddenly rebel? You know, Sima Fang had the kindness of knowing Cao **, and Cao ** also attached great importance to the Sima family. Now, after hearing Sima Yi's words, Dong Zhao seemed to understand the reason.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi and knew it in his heart.
Previously, due to the safety of the Sima family, Sima Yi had been hiding behind the scenes.
Now that the general trend is clear, Sima Yi will never continue to hide behind the scenes and will come to the front. In other words, from today on, Sima Yi will not only be Zhuge Liang's colleague, but also become a competitor. Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when Sima Yi admitted his relationship with Liu Chuang, Zhuge Liang would still feel a little alert and a little excited.
Sima Yi did not answer Dong Zhao's question, and his eyes fell on Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng smiled bitterly and told Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang about Dong Zhao's orders to invite Liu Chuang yesterday.
"We went to the lord's tent to pay a visit early this morning, but we didn't expect that there was no one in the tent.
The lord left a letter, and at the lunar hour, he took A Chou, Yuanfu, and Sanbai Feixiongwei to leave the camp and head to Weishi."
"What?"
When Sima Yi heard this, he was shocked.
"Lord, why didn't you stop me?"
However, when he said that, he realized his grammatical disease.
Fa Zheng had already said that Liu Chuang left quietly... Even if they wanted to stop him, they were helpless. It would be too risky to do this. If Cao ** set a trap and he dared to go to Weishi, wouldn't he fall into the trap? It would be too dangerous!
"Kong Ming, what do you think?"
At this time, Zhuge Liang also read the letters left by Liu Chuang.
The content in the letter is very simple, just telling everyone that he is going to visit Cao ** in Weishi. Please don’t worry, he will be careful.
After reading the letter, he looked up at Dong Zhao.
Chapter completed!
