Chapter 234: The Intention of Eating


"General Cao, I know you are also in trouble.

But at the moment, this matter is a scattered internal affair, and it is a feudal dispute between Ji Zhao and my monarchs and ministers, I think you and I are both understanding people, there is no need to bring troops to this troubled water in this place of strife," Liu Tong continued.

"But my lord has already reached an agreement with Sanguo Ji Zhao on Longchuan, and we courtiers can't help but implement it," Cao Zhan said embarrassedly.

"The general is right, but I think Yakuni is also a clear person, and he can also think about the reasons for this.

If you think about it, Sanguo has been reluctant to hand over half of the land of Longchuan to Yaguo for so many years, why did he want to make a deal with Yaguo at this time, it is very simple, that is, Sanguo wants to use Yaguo's power to resolve the contradictions in his own country.

To put it bluntly, you were used as a gun. ” "Hmph, although what you said is right, Lord Liu, but those of us who are courtiers only have to carry out the orders of the king, since my lord and your lord have reached an agreement on the matter of Longchuan, we just have to come and take over.

As for whether the ownership here belongs to you, Liu Tong, or to the monarch of the scattered country, that is not something we have to take care of.

Cao Zhan knew that if he kept arguing with Liu and others on this matter, it would not make sense.

He is just a courtier, and he just has to carry out the advice above.

Liu Tong smiled after hearing this, "Since General Cao has already talked about this, I have nothing to say, so I can only go to Haojing to report this matter to the royal family."

Let's just say that you, Yaguo, sent troops to occupy the land of Longchuan in Sanguo without my consent.

I don't think you don't remember the precedent from a few decades ago, but it's really hard to say whether the royal family will be in the direction of you or us. ” "This" Cao Zhan was stunned again, "But, but we have signed an agreement with your monarch, this should be nothing wrong."

"An agreement is an agreement, but this agreement also has a first-come, first-served basis.

The first monarch rewarded me with the land of Longchuan, and the agreement that the current monarch made with you comes later.

Besides, although the Sanguo has reached an agreement with you to divide half of the land with you, from the level of the Sanguo, I have not taken back my ownership of the land of Longchuan, which is equivalent to a woman marrying two men, and a piece of land has been given to two people, which shows what do you want to do."

Under Liu Tong's slow inducement, Cao Zhan fell into the trap he designed, "What do you say Sanguo Ji Zhao wants to do?"

Liu Tong smiled faintly and said to Cao Zhan: "Didn't I say it just now, it's like someone married a girl to me, and told you that this girl was going to marry you, and coaxed you to rob it, what is Ji Zhao's purpose, in fact, he wants to use the power of your country to help them scatter the country and defend the border, and achieve the goal of scattering the country itself." ” After listening to Liu Tong's words, Cao was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do Liu Tong continued: "I heard that the Sanguo has been reprimanded by the royal family for failing to defend the border, and the royal family also said that if the Sanguo can no longer come up with an effective way to stop Rong Di from going south, the royal family will take action against the Sanguo.

Sanguo was afraid that his position would not be guaranteed, so he came up with a way to let you guard the border for them.

General Cao, although those of us who are courtiers must take the will of the king as the core, don't be fooled and stuffy, and in the end we will suffer. ” "So that's what happened," Cao Zhan said reluctantly.

At this time, it was getting late, and Ying Kang knew that the two sides had already talked about it, so he said to Cao Zhan: "General Cao, it's late, I've prepared dinner, let's eat together, and talk about it while eating."

"This" Cao Zhan hesitated: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for my news in the city, it's hard to say if I'm late to go back."

"General Cao came to Qianyi for the sake of the country, and sooner or later it was also for the interests of the country, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will understand."

"That's okay," Cao Zhan was originally a general, and it was normal for him to like to drink.

Under the persuasion of Yingkang and others, they soon agreed to stay and dine with the Qin people.

Wine is really a good thing, and it can make a few people who are relatively strangers pass by a wine shop and immediately become familiar with it.

What should not have been said and done has become a reality after a drink.

As soon as they sat down and started drinking, Cao Zhan and Liu Tong became sticky, talking about the past endlessly, as if they had been friends for many years.

In fact, when he was in Yaguo, Liu Tong and Cao Zhan did not have much communication, and because Cao Zhan was the hardcore of Jiang Wuyu, the monarch of Yaguo, he did not say anything bad about Liu Tong behind his back.

Now when the two of them are in a place like Qianyi, all grievances seem to have disappeared.

After a few people sat down, the stewed wild yellow mutton was served, so Yingkang said to a few people: "Everyone, Yingkang is fortunate to be able to invite General Cao of Yaguo to come to such a remote place as my Qianyi to dine today, it is really our Yingkang's luck, the Qin people's luck, come and come, let's raise a bottle and drink a bottle together." ” After that, Yingkang drank the Qin wine in the dry wine bottle in one gulp.

"Ah, your wine is really strong" Cao Zhan put down the wine bottle and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this wine is really good."

"If General Cao likes it, when I go back, I will order someone to send some to the general," Ying Kang said next.

"This, this, how embarrassing this is."

Cao Zhan said with some embarrassment.

"Hey, General Cao, doesn't he look down on our Qin people's wine," Ying Kang said pretending to be angry.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Seeing Yingkang's unhappy look, Cao Zhan had no choice but to say.

People always have weaknesses, as long as you grasp the weaknesses of the other party, the things that follow will immediately become much easier.

"Lord Liu, you and General Cao are both from Yaguo, and there must be a lot to say, how about you two drink a few bottles," Ying Zhao reminded on the side.

"Yes, yes, yes, drink and drink."

Cao Zhan said again and again, so he took the initiative to pick up and squatted to Liu Tong and said: "Lord Liu, I will respect you for a bottle, thank you for the reminder you gave us." ” "Okay, good," Liu Tong and Cao took a sip of the Qin wine in the dry wine bottle.

Then Liu Tong said to Cao Zhan: "General Cao, you don't know, when I was in Yaguo, I really suffered a lot of grievances, and I just said a few more words for the benefit of Yaguo, but I was framed by someone, and finally had to leave Yaguo and live in exile."

Liu Tong, who drank a little, also talked more.

"You're right, it's our duty for us courtiers to share the worries of the king, but many times, the king still doesn't understand our difficult situation.

Come on, come on, you and I will drink another bottle.

Cao Zhan took the initiative to say to Liu Tong.

Looking at the two of them talking endlessly, Yingkang said to Yingzhao not far away: "Third brother, go and see if Zhao Boyu is out of the city."

"Hmm," Yingzhao nodded and walked out of the hall.

The reason why the Qin people insisted on leaving Cao Zhan to eat was definitely not as simple as a simple meal.

As long as Cao Zhan was left in Qianyi, it was equivalent to leaving the hostages in the city, and the Yaguo army outside the city would not dare to act rashly against the Qin people; There is also the fact that Cao Zhan was originally a famous general in Yaguo, as long as he is not in the Yaguo army, he will lose the most important general with troops, even if he has an idea, there is no way:
