Chapter 824 Naked Deterrence
Wow...!
There was another commotion in the hall, and the eyes of the veterans loyal to Liu Xie were once again filled with excitement.
Everyone's hearts couldn't help being extremely moved, and a wave of heat rose up.
Liu Zhang is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
The big man is not over yet, everything still has a chance!
Especially Liu Xie, his excited facial features became disordered, and his proud tail was going up to the sky.
He looked at Cao Cao with his nostrils, wantonly venting his previous humiliation.
This sentence is too happy, it is a blatant warning to Cao Cao and Cao's subordinates!
Cao Cao is the leader of the Central Plains Group, so naturally Deng Zhi cannot be allowed to show off his power here.
Immediately, his eyes were like knives, and he shot straight at Deng Zhi below.
"Deng engaged, what do you mean?"
Cao Cao's words were cold, full of threats and deterrence.
As Sikong of the current dynasty, Cao Mengde, who had defeated Yuan Shao twice and was about to become the number one vassal in the world,
With more than 300,000 soldiers in hand, how can you be frightened by a small Yizhou business?
The corners of Deng Zhi's mouth raised slightly, his smile was not disrespectful, but it showed Cao Cao that he had no fear.
"Cao Sikong, General Wei specially asked the minister to tell Cao Sikong, literally!"
Damn Liu Jiyu, you are too deceitful!
Cao Cao cursed angrily in his heart, and immediately raised the idea of leading an army to attack Liu Zhang.
If he bears it this time, Liu Zhang is not sure how he will bully him in the future!
Cao Cao recognized and admired Liu Zhang's ability, but Cao Cao was not afraid.
What kind of enemies did Liu Zhang encounter along the way?
Zhang Lu, Ren Qi, Zhao Wei, Jia Long, barbarians, Qiang people.
They're all worthless trash!
And what about Cao Cao himself?
The start is a million yellow scarves, then Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao!
Which one is not the hero of the world?
Cao Cao once thought that if he switched positions with Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang might not be doing better than him.
Even Cao Cao felt that if he was in Yizhou, he would do much better than Liu Zhang!
Now that Cangting has won a big victory, the morale of the three armies is like a rainbow. How can Cao Cao swallow this breath?
Immediately, he stopped holding back and pointed at Deng Zhi angrily.
"Deng Bomiao, if Liu Zhang thinks that Sikong is a traitor, he can lead an army to attack!"
"I, Sikong, have long wanted to learn Liu Zhang's clever tricks!"
Han Emperor Liu Xie and all the ministers loyal to the emperor all smiled.
Isn't this the result they hope to see?
When two tigers fight, one must be injured! Even lose-lose!
At that time, the emperor will have a chance to rise!
"Cao Sikong, General Wei once said that you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!"
"If you say something, you have to be responsible!"
Unexpectedly, Deng Zhi was still exacerbating the conflict in such a tense atmosphere!
Everyone couldn't help but have a doubt in their hearts.
Could it be that Liu Zhang is ready to go east?
Is this time for a showdown with Cao Cao?
Cao Cao's heart was full of anger, and he scolded Deng Zhi for being ignorant of good and bad.
Originally, this matter would be over if both parties gave each other a step, but I didn't expect that he was still aggressive!
Even Cao Cao had the illusion that Liu Zhang was really going to attack?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao still had a little fear.
But as Sikong in the current dynasty, how can he be frightened by a man in Yizhou! I can only bite the bullet and continue to speak hard.
"I never take back what I said, Sikong!"
Deng Zhi smiled even more when he heard this, and then took out a brocade from his bosom.
"Cao Sikong, General Wei gave this to you, please have a look!"
Cao Cao couldn't wait for the eunuch to present it, so he walked up to Deng Zhi and grabbed it.
The content of the letter is very simple, only five simple words.
Yuan, Liu, Cao, Liu, Sun.
On the top is Cao, on the left is Liu, and on the bottom are Liu and Sun.
Only one word Cao was tightly surrounded in the middle!
"this…"
Cao Cao's eyes were wide open, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes. Before he knew it, cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Liu Zhang's meaning is too obvious, this is to form an alliance to fight against Cao Cao!
As long as Liu Zhang initiates it, I am afraid that Liu Biao, as an ally, will definitely respond!
Yuan Shao hated Cao Cao so much, how could he miss this opportunity?
Even Sun Quan, who is in the civil strife, would want to get a piece of the action when he sees this opportunity!
The four armies attack together, what can Cao Cao resist?
"What does General Liu Wei want to do?"
Cao Cao quickly pulled the letter into his arms, the confidence in his voice obviously not as good as before.
This is the biggest disadvantage of occupying the fertile Central Plains. Enemies are everywhere, and there are no natural dangers to defend against.
Just when Cao Cao thought that Deng Zhi would become more arrogant when he saw that he was cowardly, Deng Zhi changed his previous frivolity and saluted Cao Cao with respect.
"Cao Sikong, please forgive me for my previous disrespect!"
Cao Cao was completely confused now, and he was even more puzzled about Deng Zhi's intentions.
However, Deng Zhi took the initiative to lower his posture, obviously giving Cao Cao a step.
Cao Cao had no choice but to go downhill. After all, this letter gave him too much deterrence!
"Ahem, it's okay, I'm very generous!"
"Tell me, why did General Wei send you here?"
Deng Zhi smiled, and saluted again.
"A few months ago, an angel came to Qi County and delivered two orders from His Majesty to General Wei. I wonder if Cao Sikong knows about it?"
"Know!"
Cao Cao nodded noncommittal, somewhat understanding Deng Zhi's intentions.
He must have come to ask for Duke Qin's one!
Cao Cao sneered in his heart, no wonder he gave himself a blow first, because he was afraid that the court would not admit it!
Deng Zhi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the surrounding ministers, and said loudly,
"A few months ago, the angel conveyed His Majesty's will to General Wei, asking General Wei to lead his elite soldiers to defeat Xianbei and recover the land in Guanzhong!"
"At the beginning, the Xianbei army was 150,000, while General Wei's troops were less than 50,000, but he still resolutely chose to follow His Majesty's will!"
"There is only one reason. General Wei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"
The ministers nodded slightly and had no opinion on this rhetoric.
Everyone can see that Cao Cao is using the name of the emperor to push Liu Zhang into the pit of fire!
Liu Zhang could have used countless excuses to shirk, but he still chose to obey the imperial edict.
From this point of view, Liu Zhang's loyalty to His Majesty is far stronger than anyone else, especially Cao Cao!
This time, being able to attack the strong with the weak and carry forward the national prestige of the Han Dynasty is indeed an indelible achievement.
Deng Zhi kept scanning the crowd, seeing that the ministers were not dissatisfied, she hurriedly continued to speak.
"Fortunately, General Wei is wise and martial, and he planned well, and finally lived up to His Majesty's entrustment!"
"This battle not only washed away the shame of the Han Dynasty against Xianbei for many years, but also greatly shocked the alien races in the frontier!"
"In my view, General Wei's achievements in pacifying the Southern Man, subduing the Qiang Hu, and slaughtering the Xianbei are no less than that of the Hussar General Huo Qubing!"
