"Royal family?" Qin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand to stop Guan Hai who was still talking, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Liu must be a judge of the situation, and he also knows that the royal family of the Han Empire may not yet have the family of Prime Minister Cao.
Is the slave popular?"
Liu Ye laughed loudly when he heard this, and did not take Qin Yang's provocative sarcasm into his eyes at all. After laughing, Liu Ye said proudly: "Master Qin also said just now that my lord is the prime minister of the empire, and now the flag of the empire is
It is still the Dragon Banner of the Han Dynasty, and the empire is still dominated by the Liu family. As for whether it is in power or not, what does it have to do with it? Since ancient times, good ministers have chosen their masters, and Prime Minister Cao is loyal to our Han Empire and serves the emperor as the master.
Even though I, Liu Ye, belong to the royal family, I am willing to serve you."
Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Ye, snorting coldly: "But I don't know, is Mr. Liu here for the emperor? Or for Cao Cao?"
Liu Ye smiled and said: "Being the prime minister means being the emperor. Is there any difference?"
"Bold!" Qin Yang slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Cao Cao is just a minister of the empire! You Liu Ye actually confused him with the traitor Cao Cao! In vain, you claim to be a royal family of the Han Empire? How dare you say that?
Such disobedient words! This alone is enough to make you lose your head right now!"
Liu Ye was shocked. He took the initiative to come to Wancheng because he was proud of his unparalleled eloquence. But he didn't expect that Qin Yang was so thoughtful and caught such a big loophole in his unintentional words. He couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
Cold sweat also broke out on his forehead.
Seeing that Liu Ye was speechless, Qin Yang couldn't help but sneered secretly in his heart. In the Han Dynasty, counselors were often arrogant, conceited and eloquent, and Liu Ye was a typical example of this. Does a member of the royal family want to overpower me in my territory? How to deal with this kind of person?
The best way for a person is to let him hit himself in the foot with the stone he lifted!
After a while, Liu Ye finally came to his senses. There was no longer a look of arrogance on his face, but he bowed and said: "Master Qin, this time Liu Ye brought the Prime Minister's handwritten letter. I also ask Master Qin to read it..."
"Bring it up and give me a seat." Qin Yang sneered slightly. Now that Liu Ye's arrogance had subsided, he didn't want to push him hard.
"When we met brother Qin Yang, the Marquis of Hanzhong, in the battle of Wancheng, Cao lost a good general given by his brother, lost his beloved son, and defeated an elite soldier. It can be said that he lived a life of nine deaths in a desperate situation. However, God protected Cao, and his life should not be cut off. Although he was extremely embarrassed, he ended up in a desperate situation.
So he was able to escape. Although Cao Cao lost his troops in this battle, he deeply admired Brother Qin's plan. Therefore, the first thing he did after the disaster was to order tigers and leopards to retreat in Lushan... Everyone in the world
They call me Cao Cao treacherous, but they don’t know that I, Cao Cao, cherish heroes the most. Brother Qin is a hero of the world, a hero in the world. Now the world is in chaos and heroes are rising together. In troubled times, Cao and Brother Qin intend to put aside their past grudges and join hands to put things down.
The world hopes to achieve unparalleled hegemony. I wonder what Brother Qin wants? Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, pays his respects and waits for your good news."
"Stop the troops and make a truce, put aside all the past grudges?!" Qin Yang looked at the letter in his hand and said nothing. He not only killed Cao Cao's own son, but also almost killed Cao Cao. The two sides were already on the same level. Could it be that this guy actually
He is so generous. He actually wants to join forces with him to conspire with the world?! What kind of medicine is this Cao Cao selling in the gourd?
"Mr. Jia Xu has arrived..." Just as Qin Yang was thinking and hesitating, the voice of the guard outside the door suddenly sounded.
"Invitation!" Qin Yang felt happy, but he was worried that no one would discuss it. Jia Xu came at the right time.
"Jia Xu has met His Highness." Jia Xu walked slowly into the hall, still with a lazy expression, and after glancing at Liu Ye who was sitting upright, he bowed deeply to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Jia, please sit down, where is Xiaodu?"
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "Thanks to His Highness's favor, Xiaodu has now refined the poison of the Five Poison Pearls and is now breathing it out alone. I believe he will be successful soon."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded, then casually handed Cao Cao's letter to Jia Xu in front of Liu Ye and said, "This is Prime Minister Cao's handwriting. Sir, please help me read it."
Jia Xu took Cao Cao's letter under Liu Ye's surprised eyes. After reading it, he smiled lightly and said: "Prime Minister Cao has great ambitions and assesses the situation. He is indeed worthy of the name of a hero."
Qin Yang also smiled, pointed at Liu Ye and said: "Sir, this is Mr. Liu Ye, Prime Minister Cao's envoy. There is no need to be shy about what you want to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you..." Jia Xu slightly cupped his hands to Liu Ye after hearing this, and then said to Qin Yang: "Your Highness, where is the most chaotic place in the world today?"
Qin Yang said: "The most chaotic place? That should be the Central Plains..."
Jia Xu nodded and said: "Your Highness is right. In today's world, His Highness Guanzhong is the lord, and Ma Teng of Xiliang is submissive. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are stubborn and have no intention of making progress. The land of Jiangdong is in chaos, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is forced by Yuan Shao.
It is difficult to protect oneself. Every place has its own master, but only a few major princes in the Central Plains are at loggerheads."
Speaking of this, Jia Xu glanced at Liu Ye, whose face had changed slightly and continued: "In the land of the Central Plains, Cao Cao, the lord of Yanzhou, Lu Bu, the lord of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu, the lord of Yangzhou of Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao, the co-lord of the three states of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou,
All the powerful forces stand side by side. Cao Cao's Yanzhou is located at the core and is surrounded by powerful enemies. If Prime Minister Cao becomes an enemy of His Highness again at this moment, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?"
Qin Yang suddenly nodded and said: "I see, it seems that Prime Minister Cao is indeed far-sighted..."
Liu Ye couldn't help but change his expression after listening to the conversation between the two, and said hurriedly: "Although Mr. Jia's words are insightful, my lord Cao Cao is the hero. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire is stationed in Xudu, with hundreds of thousands of troops and generals.
Thousands of people, armed with the emperor's sword, are following the emperor's orders to conquer the unconquered ministers. Even though our Yanzhou is located among the princes, we have nothing to fear!"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, there is no need to be excited. My Highness has not yet made plans for peace and war. Why should Mr. Liu be anxious?"
Liu Ye snorted coldly and said: "My lord has a hero's sympathy with Mr. Qin, so he is able to overcome all opinions and intend to clear up the past grudges with Mr. Qin. My lord once said that if Mr. Qin is willing to join forces with me, Yanzhou, my lord
Master Qiao Xuan who is stranded in Xudu must be sent back to Hanzhong..."
"Qiao Xuan?!" Qin Yang's eyes lit up at first, but at the same time there was a chill in his heart. How could Cao Cao be so smart? His relationship with Er Qiao sisters has not been made public. Could it be that Cao Cao only relied on
Those clues above Wancheng and Lushan guessed what he was thinking?!
When Jia Xu saw Qin Yang's eyes flashing but remained silent, he already guessed what Qin Yang was thinking. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but smile and said to Liu Ye: "Prime Minister Cao is indeed very righteous. In this case, I don't know what Cao Cao was thinking."
What does the Prime Minister want my Highness to show his sincerity?"
Jia Xu's words hit the mark. Since Liu Ye regarded Qiao Xuan's incident as his trump card, Cao Cao must have wanted something from Qin Yang.
Sure enough, Liu Ye said: "My lord Cao Cao is sincere in forming an alliance with Lord Qin, so naturally he has nothing else to ask for. But as ministers, we naturally have to share your lord's worries. I once saw your lord worrying about it, and the Lord is most worried about you.
Two things, one is General Dian Wei who was detained in Wancheng by Mr. Qin, and the other... Thanks to Mr. Jia Xu, my master was poisoned by Mr. Jia's strange poison. Although it is not serious,
But if I can get Mr. Jia’s antidote, my Lord will definitely feel relieved.”
"I see, Mr. Liu is really a wise minister who takes care of the Lord's worries..." Jia Xu chuckled and looked at Qin Yang.
Qin Yang also knew that Liu Ye's talk of sharing Cao Cao's worries could be basically ignored. Cao Cao made it clear that he was negotiating with him in exchange for the antidote from Dian Wei and Jia Xu in exchange for Qiao Xuan, who was detained in Xuchang.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang couldn't help but look at Jia Xu. Jia Xu smiled slightly, and immediately understood what Qin Yang meant, and said lightly: "Reporting to your highness, the poison on the little poisonous claws will not hurt Prime Minister Cao's body.
Life. But if there is no antidote, I am afraid that the occasional poisonous attack will make the Prime Minister very sad."
Hearing that Jia Xu could specifically emphasize the word "sad" when he said it, Qin Yang immediately understood. Then he smiled at Liu Ye and said, "Mr. Liu, since the Prime Minister is so sincere, then I, Qin Yang, must also be
The Prime Minister will not be disappointed..."
Liu Ye's eyes flashed and he said happily: "So His Highness agrees?"
Qin Yang nodded, shook his head, and said with a smile: "To be honest with Mr. Liu, this Lord Qiao Xuan does have some friendship with me, Qin Yang. I am naturally grateful to Prime Minister Cao for being able to welcome him to Hanzhong.
Although, I’m afraid Mr. Qiao’s weight is not enough to exchange one thing for two things, right?”
Liu Ye was startled and lost his voice: "Then what Master Qin means is..."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "My Highness has made it very clear. If Mr. Cao really wants to form an alliance with me in Hanzhong, then he can just send Mr. Qiao directly back to Hanzhong. As for General Dian Wei and the antidote,
It’s up to Mr. Cao to decide between the two.”
"Is this a choice between two?!" Liu Ye didn't expect that Qin Yang would make such a child's play request at this time, and for a moment he felt at a loss.
In Qin Yang's heart, if he could get Qiao Xuan back because of the Er Qiao sisters, he would naturally wish for it. But Dian Wei is a general, and if Dian Wei is let go, Cao Cao will be even more powerful. And if the antidote is given to Cao Cao
If so, Qin Yang would lose a powerful weapon to restrain Cao Cao. The value of these two things is immeasurable, and of course he could not give them all to Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This would definitely create a lot of trouble for Qiao Xuan's return. Although he felt sorry for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the military-state struggle was like this, so how could there be such a thing?
Is there absolute fairness? How can everyone be happy?
Facing Liu Ye's question, Qin Yang nodded with a smile and said: "This is natural. Didn't Mr. Liu hear what I said clearly? Or should Mr. Liu ask Prime Minister Cao for instructions first?"
