Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 251 The Cui family enters Shu?

"There is an old tung tree in the courtyard, its trunk reaches up into the clouds."

Ever since he knew Xiao Qiao's plan, Xing Daorong began to consciously guide Zhou Xun towards poetry and songs.

Try to catch up with this year's "Talent Appraisal" to enhance Zhou Xun's reputation and make people remember Zhou Yu's son.

However, Zhou Xun seemed to have limited talent. Besides, Xing Daorong was just a "plagiarist". As for teaching...he really didn't know how.

have no choice…

Just try to guide...

At this moment in the courtyard, Xing Daorong was reciting a poem, hoping that Zhou Xun could continue.

Finally…

Zhou Xun continued: "The branches welcome birds from the north and south, and the leaves send the wind back and forth."

When these words were spoken, Xiao Qiao who was standing beside them was overjoyed.

But he exclaimed: "Good! This poem is good!"

As he spoke, he also looked at Xing Daorong, obviously seeking his opinion.

It has to be said that Xiao Qiao cares a lot about Zhou Xun.

Seeing Xing Daorong nod slowly, his eyes curved and he rarely smiled: "Okay... Then I will pass this poem back to Jiangdong..."

After saying this, he said goodbye and left impatiently.

Xing Daorong smiled bitterly, glanced at Zhou Xun who was blushing and looked guilty, and said, "Don't have that expression, kid. People will see through it with just one word. Although this is my gift to you, it is still yours. If others ask about it, just treat it as something you did yourself."

It turned out that Xing Daorong saw that Zhou Xun had no talent at all, so he helped him "cheat" to deal with Xiao Qiao.

No wonder Zhou Xun felt a little guilty.

The shame was indeed because of deceiving one's mother.

He turned around and bowed to Xing Daorong: "Thank you very much, General..."

Xing Daorong said, "It's okay... After today, if anyone in Jiangdong is interested, they will contact Madam Qiao."

"I think you will be going back to Jiangdong soon."

Zhou Xun was a little surprised.

We finally got out of Jiangdong, why go back?
The young man had no taboos when speaking, and asked directly: "Mother finally followed the general out, why did she want to go back?"

There are some differences between Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao after all.

Xiao Qiao ran away from Jiangdong because someone tried to frame the Zhou family and her sister ran away.

It would be better for Da Qiao to follow Xing Daorong. At least she will have a goal to pursue. Xiao Qiao is in an awkward situation here.

Returning to Jiangdong is also a natural thing to do.

As long as the Jiangdong family accepts the Zhou family again, they can go back.

now…

The Jiangdong noble families and Sun Quan were becoming increasingly alienated, so they decided to return to Jiangdong.

It’s just that these things are hard to explain to a half-grown boy like Zhou Xun, so Xing Daorong can just give some pointers.

...

Xing Daorong's threat was quite effective, and soon news from Cao Cao arrived.

However, before the news came, Yecheng almost had another storm.

This story begins when Liu Ye returned to report.

Upon learning that Liu Bei wanted to use Xiahou Dun in exchange for the Cui family, Cao Cao immediately overturned the table.

But he shouted: "When Cui Yan defected and Yang Biao died in front of Cui Fu's gate, we knew that the Cui family must have second thoughts!"

"It's just that I didn't do anything because I had no evidence!"

"Now the Cui family is at odds with Liu Bei! Do you think I will take action?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he was about to send troops to capture the person.

However, Liu Ye quickly stopped him: "King Wei, you must not do that. Although Xing Daorong gave us good news, there is no correspondence and no certification. After all, there is no evidence."

"If you attack the Cui family, the aristocratic families will be in chaos!"

"Please calm down, King Wei. In my humble opinion, why don't you just bring General Xiahou back and not worry about the Cui family?"

"After defeating Liu Bei, I will have the opportunity to take control of the Cui family!"

This is the cleverness of Xing Daorong's writing on his palm. The purpose is to make it clear without affecting the Cui family.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was filled with hatred and gnashed his teeth.

"If the Cui family leaves, it won't affect me. What should I do?"

Liu Ye said: "Xing Daorong has something to say. If you can't get it on the battlefield, you can't get it at the negotiation table."

"Now the internal chaos is rampant, only because of the disadvantages of the external war, we should think of a way to take back Liangzhou."

"As for the affairs of the court, if the outside is peaceful, the inside can be settled."

There is no doubt that Cao Cao was a man of great significance in order to have the power he has today.

嗏

As Cao Cao suffered repeated losses at the hands of Liu Bei in the Battle of Red Cliffs, his long-cherished wish of unifying the world gradually became difficult as he grew older, and his mentality began to change.

More importantly...

Cao Cao discovered that there was indeed something wrong with his body.

I have always had headaches, but they always come with the change of seasons and occur in certain seasons.

Or it may be caused by overwork or encountering upsetting things.

But since the Battle of Guanzhong, Cao Cao felt that his headaches could occur at any time and in any place, with no regularity at all.

Although it can be controlled under the treatment of the imperial physician, but...

Glancing at the medicine stove in the room, Cao Cao knew that his time was almost up.

His focus gradually began to change.

From pacifying the world to clearing obstacles for his prince.

This is also the reason why he pretended to be seriously ill in order to eliminate the last loyal ministers around Liu Xie.

Cao Pi is now twenty-five years old, which is old enough, but he is still a little immature to lead a country.

Now that I hear that the Cui family is collaborating with the enemy, I want to destroy them.

But Xiahou Dun's return is also crucial.

He is the right-hand man of the Cao family and is devoted to Cao.

He is well-known in the army, so it is just right for him to come back and assist Cao Pi.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao finally said, "If Liu Bei wants the Cui family, give it to him."

"Yuan Rang is my right arm, he must be exchanged back. Zi Yang, send a letter immediately and ask Liu Bei to release him!"

"As for the Cui family...let them leave Yecheng, but they cannot go through Jingzhou to Sichuan."

"Tell the Cui family...if they want to leave...the only way is to go to Liangzhou!"

When Liu Ye heard that Cao Cao had planned a route for the Cui family to enter Sichuan, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao's expression, and saw a hint of cruelty hidden in his eyes.

I know this is far from over...

...

But when Liu Bei received the letter saying that Cao Cao agreed to replace him, he was naturally delighted.

But when I looked at the proposal again, I felt that something was wrong when I saw that Cao Cao wanted to replace people in Fancheng.

How can we change people on someone else's territory?
He immediately called people together to discuss how to replace the person.

Fa Zheng then suggested that it would be better to ask Cao Cao to replace people directly at Dasan Pass, which would ensure no mistakes.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you go to Dasan Pass or Xiangyang, but since Cao Cao chose the south, Liu Bei subconsciously chose the west. This is human nature.

Zhuge Liang also suggested: "Cao Cao is a man who cannot be trusted easily. Even if he is at Dasan Pass, he should be sent by a general."

Liu Bei nodded slightly when he heard this, but subconsciously looked at Xing Daorong.

But after only a quick glance, Liu Bei said, "You and your wife are about to give birth, so it's not a good idea for you to go."

"Let Zilong go, it will definitely be a safe bet."

Zhang Fei, who was listening, said, "Don't bother Zilong, just ask me to go!"

"We will definitely bring the Cui family back safely. There can't be any mistakes!"
