Cao Zhi reached out and took the letter that Zao Zhuan had snatched from Chen Yu's hand. After glancing at it briefly, he handed it back to Zao Zhuan. After Zao Zhuan looked at it, he handed it to Deng Ai who was following Cao Zhi.
Deng Ai looked at it with a frown and a sigh. The content of Xinzha was indeed what Cao Zhi said, but it was not as detailed as Cao Zhi.
When Deng Ai lamented that Cao Zhi's intelligence work was in place, Cao Zhi slowly turned around and said to the officials in Yangzhou: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Cao Zhi, keep my word and will never harm anyone present."
Facts also prove Cao Zhi's words. The nearly one hundred personal guards arranged by Chen Yu outside the hall are now being dragged in one by one. None of these people are indeed dead, but they are all bound by their hands and feet. A few of them have improper personnel.
He was dragged in while he was awake, but he was definitely energetic. He probably tried to resist just now, but was knocked unconscious by Cao Zhi's men.
I had expected to see the corpses of the officials strewn all over the place, and I was even ready to vomit, but I didn't expect that these people were really alive. All this immediately raised the hope of survival for Xue Li and other generals under Chen Yu, especially the shameless Xue.
Literally, he now looked at the corridors of the hall that were filled with "prisoners of war" due to the sudden increase in "prisoners of war", and even felt funny. At this time, he did not think at all that he was the person who was tied up the most today, but in the lifeless world
Stimulated by the joy of worry, Xue Li didn't feel that accepting this was the best thing. Being able to survive was the best thing. He didn't even hate Cao Zhi anymore.
There were originally two rows of seats in the center of the hall, but now no official dares to sit there, because there are several large rice dumplings piled with human flesh next to each case. Now all the officials are basically standing close to the wall, and it is easy to squeeze in.
Come on, squeeze in! The only people still walking around in the hall are some generals and Cao Zhi's guards.
Cao Zhi did not stop speaking. He continued to say slowly: "I don't want to seize the position of governor. Not only that, I will also send Governor Chen and those who intend to follow Governor Chen out of the city safely, and send you all to safety directly."
By Shouchun, Shouchun, the Jiujiang Administrative Office, has long been in the hands of Yuan Shu, and it will soon become the Yangzhou Prefecture Administrative Office. Am I right, Governor Chen? Your Lord Yuan told you this too, right?
But it's a pity that I can't give this seal to you now!"
As he spoke, Cao Zhi turned around with a smile, nodded to Chen Yu with a chuckle, grabbed the official seal of the Yangzhou governor on the corner of the case, raised it in his hand and said: "Chen Wen, after Chen Yu died of illness, Yuan Shao also wanted to
To get involved in Yangzhou, he has recommended his cousin Yuan Yi to be the governor of Yangzhou. It is still unknown who will take this position. Yuan Shao, the pastor of Jizhou, recommended Yuan Qian as the governor of Yangzhou. He has written to the court to remove Chen Yu.
Yuan Zhoumu moved a little slowly, but fortunately, Governor Chen, you haven't left yet, and you haven't taken this official seal with you either. I am keeping this seal and ribbon for the future Governor of Yangzhou now. Whoever among you actually becomes the Governor of Yangzhou, I will give it to him.
quot;
"Ah!"
There was another burst of exclamation in the hall. Many people did not expect that Yuan Shao would also intervene in Yangzhou. Cao Zhi had known that Yuan Shao had been interested in Yangzhou for a long time, but he did not expect that he would recommend Yuan Qianlai to be the governor. In fact, Yangzhou is now
It seems that Yuan Shao has begun to fear that the strength of the two Cao brothers has grown too much.
Soon. He didn't want Yangzhou to fall into the hands of Cao Zhi, but wanted to find someone to check Cao Zhi's strength and power. This surprised Cao Zhi and made him very angry at the same time. He had originally planned to let Cao Zhi
Here, Chen Yu's matter came to an end. He wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shao's political status and let him ascend to the position of governor of Yangzhou. He did not expect that Yuan Shao would come up with this trick. So he decided to put Li Yang under his control no matter what.
In his hands, neither of them helped, making these two genuine governors want to compete.
Chen Yu thought that Cao Zhi only knew this confidential information after reading his letter. He was afraid that Cao Zhi would reveal more secrets. He was so anxious that he twisted his body on the document and screamed "woo, woo~"
.
Cao Zhi looked at his anxious look, smiled, and continued: "Don't be anxious, Governor Chen. I know a lot that you don't know. I will tell you one by one now. That's right, Yuan Shao and Yuan Zhoumu have already married Gongsun Zan."
The war started, but I just intercepted the battle report. Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, stationed his troops in Guangchuan County (now northeast of Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province) and fought with Gongsun Zan twenty miles south of the boundary bridge. Gongsun Zan had 30,000 elite soldiers. Yuan Shao ordered his general Qu Yi to lead
Eight hundred elite soldiers were in front, with thousands of strong crossbows deployed on both wings. Gongsun Zan despised Yuan Shao's small number of soldiers and sent his cavalry to fight. Qu Yi ordered his soldiers to lie down under the pillars and wait until Gongsun Zan's army reached ten steps in front. They all launched a simultaneous attack, and Gongsun Zan was defeated.
Yuan Shao captured Yan Gang's soldiers and beheaded him. Qu Yi pursued Gongsun Zan to the boundary bridge. Gongsun Zan led his troops to fight back and was defeated again. Now Gongsun Zan has fled to Jixian (now Daxing District, Beijing) and built a small town in the southeast of the county to defend himself. Yuan Shao has
Gongsun Zan was defeated at Jieqiao, and Gongsun Zan had led his troops to flee Jizhou. Yuan Zhoumu was now free to teach his unsatisfactory brother a lesson!"
Cao Zhi's words immediately caused a commotion in the hall, and even caused panic among some people. These people were naturally those Yangzhou officials who had just surrendered to Chen Yu.
Cao Zhi's words were far from over, and his threats continued. Cao Zhi then said casually: "Oh, I also received news that in the contest between the Yuan brothers in Yuzhou, Yuan Shu won a great victory, but Sun Jian didn't
He defeated Zhou Ang, but Yuan Shao was not an easy man. He launched a series of diplomatic actions against Yuan Shu, one of which was to instigate Liu Biao to rebel against Jingzhou. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, had turned against Yuan Shu and was preparing to rob Yuan Shu.
"General Yuan Shu will probably be very busy when he picks up the grain road." Cao Zhi turned to Chen Yu, who was blushing to the point of his lungs, half-jokingly, "Chen Jishi, who do you think General Yuan will send to attack Liu Biao?"
quot;
"Woo, woo~"
Cao Zhi ignored Chen Yu, who was about to faint from anger, and continued to talk to the Yangzhou officials: "I think General Yuan will send Sun Jian to Yuzhou. Governor Chen, do you want to guess who will win when Governor Sun defeats Governor Liu?"
?quot;
"Woooo~" Chen Yu could only shout like this, perhaps to express his reply, protest, or indignation. But no one cared anymore. Those Yangzhou officials who were standing in the wrong team had their legs shaking and could no longer calm down.
The sounds of "thump, thump" and kneelings kept coming and going, and the sounds of weeping and wailing were waxing and waning.
"Ah... I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child. Cao Cao, I was blinded by lard just now. You have pity on me. You have a lot of money. Let me
I am staying, and we intend to swear allegiance to you, Grand Administrator Cao, ah...quot;
Cao Zhi looked at Deng Ai, then at Zao Zhuan, took a deep breath, and said dryly without looking back: "It's too late, everyone should follow Governor Chen to Shouchun!"
