Looking at the retreating figure of the envoy from Soochow, Bu Zhi, who was sitting at the side, looked at Cao Xiu, who looked a little serious, and said to Cao Xiu in a heavy tone: "General, I think This matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty.
After all, I feel that this matter is a bit strange.
I am afraid that Soochow will do something else."
After hearing what Bu Zhi said, Cao Xiu nodded to him calmly, and then said to Bu Zhi in a calm tone: "We won't discuss this matter until it is confirmed.
Don't bother Your Majesty with this trivial matter now."
"Yeah" Bu Zhi looked at Cao Xiu and said this, so he nodded calmly, and then silently began to deal with the official business in front of him.
The envoy from Jiangdong who came to Shouchun tomorrow quickly left the Huainan area and conveyed the news to Sun Quan and Zhou Li who were in Jianye.
When Sun Quan got the news, his face suddenly darkened.
He looked at Zhou Li beside him, gritted his teeth and said in a heavy tone to Zhou Li in front of him: "It seems that Cao Xiu is very vigilant now.
It's hard to Falling into a trap."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, let me think about the countermeasures."
Zhou Li's face was very heavy when he heard the news.
Looking at Sun Quan's appearance, Zhou Li replied to Sun Quan in a calm tone, and then He lowered his head silently and thought about how to deal with this enemy.
Sun Quan also looked at Zhou Li helplessly.
Suddenly he noticed that Zhou Li raised his head, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He silently came to Sun Quan's side and said to Sun Quan in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, can you please Lend me the sword on your waist for a while."
When Sun Quan looked at Zhou Li, his expression suddenly looked slightly wrong.
He hesitated for a moment, then took off the sword hanging from his waist and silently handed it to Zhou Li in front of him.
"Ding" Zhou Li gently pulled out the sword that Sun Quan had given him from the scabbard in his hand.
As the sword came out of the scabbard, there was a low cry of sword sound.
At the same time, along with a burst of sword light, he saw It seems that the sword Sun Quan is wearing is indeed a very good sword.
Sun Quan frowned slightly at this time and looked at Zhou Li's movements in front of him.
He didn't know what he was going to do.
He could only widen his eyes.
His nephew stared at Zhou Li in front of him carefully.
Under Sun Quan's tight gaze, Zhou Li put the sword in his hand next to his neck, and then cut off all the hair he had left.
"What are you?"
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Li's movements, and his face suddenly became a little shocked.
He watched blankly as Zhou Li put the sword in his hand into the scabbard, and then silently squatted down.
Picked up the hair that had just been cut off.
The concepts of ancient people are very different from those of modern people.
A loved one can easily cut their hair, but few people in ancient times would cut off their hair.
As the saying goes, the body's hair and skin are influenced by its parents.
Generally, hair represents It is the person's head, so in ancient times, hair cutting was also a punishment, called Kun punishment.
And I think that when Cao Cao took his generals to hunt, he trampled on other people's farmland.
It was the time of spring plowing.
Cao Cao destroyed other people's farmland.
It was a violation of the laws at the time.
According to the laws at the time, According to the law, Cao Cao should be beheaded.
However, Cao Cao was the man with power at the time, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to punish Cao Cao.
However, if they did not punish him, it would be difficult to implement the law, and others would think that the law lacked any dignity.
However, Cao Cao was a traitor in the world, how could he be stumped by such a small difficulty, so he cut off his hair in front of everyone, which was to replace his head with hair.
So Cao Cao used such a clever method to not only preserve the majesty of the law, but also his own head.
He also won praise from the people.
It can also be seen that in ancient times, the importance of hair to a person.

Sun Quan's eyes widened at this moment, and he looked at Zhou Li, who looked a little heavy and held his hair in his hand.
He stood there in shock, with his mouth open and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Zhou Li also noticed that Sun Quan was standing there with a somewhat shocked expression, holding the hair that he had just cut in his hand, so he looked at Sun Quan silently, and said to Sun Quan in a serious tone: "If I use this cut hair to prove my With his loyalty to surrender to Cao Wei and his ability to conquer Soochow, Cao Xiu will definitely fall into the trap."
"But this is so unfair to you."
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Li who had cut off his hair, and said to Zhou Li in a somewhat unbearable tone.
After all, now that Zhou Li has cut off his hair, he might be looked down upon by those who look down on him.
The descendants of the wealthy families laughed at him.
"It's just a few inches of hair now.
If I can exchange this hair for a place to return to, I will be worthy of myself.
Now that I can help His Majesty complete his great cause, this little hair is nothing."
Zhou Li looked at Sun Quan in front of him with a somewhat regretful look. , burst out laughing suddenly, and said to Sun Quan in front of him with a somewhat complacent tone.
Sun Quan looked at the calm look of Zhou Li in front of him, and finally showed a helpless smile, and then replied to Zhou Li in a calm tone: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down.
I have decided to do this."
Capture the land of Huainan in one fell swoop" Zhou Li then called the messenger to write a sincere letter in person, wrap his hair in the letter, and ask the messenger to cross the Yangtze River quickly and go to the Huainan area to meet Cao Xiu. .
"It depends on this time."
Zhou Li said with emotion as he looked at the envoy's retreating figure, and then looked at the green hills surrounding the capital.
"Da Sima, the envoy has come again, saying that he has something important to see Da Sima."
Moreover, Cao Xiu was training his soldiers in the military camp.
He only saw the soldiers guarding the city gate slowly coming to the platform of the military camp. , said in a low tone to Cao Xiu in front of him.
When Cao Xiu heard the news, his face showed a trace of surprise.
He handed over his instructions for training soldiers to the captain on the side, hurried to his mansion, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to bring the envoy to In his own mansion.
In the mansion, Cao Xiu looked at the letter in his hand and the many bundles of hair in the letter, and his expression suddenly became serious.
At this time, Cao Xiu also began to choose to believe that the other party had really surrendered.
"Has your master made an appointment?"
Cao Xiu looked at the messenger who came to deliver the message with a serious look, and said to the messenger in a calm tone.
The envoy looked at Cao Xiu and seemed to have completely believed him.
His face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and then he quickly said to Cao Xiu in front of him eagerly: "Da Sima, this matter is of great importance now.
How can you just say it in just a few words?"
I have decided on the time and will report back to my master first, and then I will come back and inform Da Sima when I find the right time."
After listening to what the soldier in front of him said, Cao Xiu felt that what he said was very reasonable.
After all, it was a very careful thing to coordinate the inside and outside.
How could we accurately agree on the time?
We still need to watch the timing.
"In that case, you go back and report to your master and ask him to be well prepared until Cao Wei's army arrives at Soochow."
Cao Xiu looked at the envoy in front of him calmly, hesitated for a moment, and spoke in a calm tone.
He said to the messenger in front of him.
After hearing Cao Xiu's words, the envoy nodded quickly, bowed, and then exited the room.
Then he quickly left Shouchun City and went back to report the good news to Soochow.
Bu Zhao, who was dealing with official duties in the prefect's mansion in the city, got the news that Cao Xiu was gathering his soldiers.
He suddenly looked a little surprised and hurried to Cao Xiu's Grand Sima's mansion to visit Cao Xiu.
"General, why did you mobilize the soldiers all of a sudden?"
Bu Zhao looked at Cao Xiu who was sitting in the mansion with a smile on his face, and asked Cao Xiu in a confused tone.
Cao Xiu showed a calm smile and told Bu Zhi what happened.
"General, as far as this mere hair can mean, I think it's better for the general to be more careful.
After all, when the Taiwei was in Huainan, he said that as long as he guarded Huainan, it would be fine."

Bu Zhi looked at Cao Xiu in front of him with a smile on his face.
After a moment of hesitation, he persuaded Cao Xiu in a serious tone.
"Humph, Lieutenant, now I, Cao Xiu, am the guard of Huainan.
If I stick to Huainan all day long and can't get out, how will I be able to unify the world and restore our Wei Dynasty?"
After hearing Bu Zhi's words, Cao Xiu's whole body was filled with excitement.
His face didn't look good, he looked at Bu Zhi angrily, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
Cao Xiu has always been suppressed by Bai Ren.
Bai Ren is about the same age as him and Cao Xiu, who has always been at a disadvantage, doesn't like this feeling very much.
At this moment, he wants to prove to the world that he is Cao Wei's number one general.
Bu Zhao looked at Cao Xiu in front of him who insisted on sending troops to attack Soochow.
He sighed helplessly, gave a final salute, and silently returned to his prefect's mansion under Cao Xiu's cold eyes.
After returning to the mansion, Bu Zhao immediately wrote two letters.
One was sent to the Taiwei Mansion, and the other was sent to the current Wei Emperor Cao Rui
