Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 122 The words of a woman are stubborn!
"The daughter of the people has met General Chunyu."

Zhang Chunhua didn't dare to hide it, saying that he came to return the Yitian sword.

Chunyu Qiong reminded: "Although the Yitian sword is a treasure, it is not a rare thing in the eyes of the lord. How can you take it back if you give it away?"

Zhang Chunhua lowered his head.

Chunyuqiong continued: "You'd better go back. Besides, even if you return this thing, how will my lord use it? What do other people think when they see it?"

Chunyu Qiong stopped talking and left.

Zhang Chunhua's mind was in chaos.

Although she was unwilling when she came, she couldn't resist Sima Yi, so she had no choice but to return the sword.

Only reluctance and helplessness.

I never thought that returning the sword would have so many consequences.

Seeing Zhang Chunhua standing still, the guard at the door reminded her.

Zhang Chunhua shook his head, and walked into the hall respectfully.

"The daughter of the people has seen the general."

"no."

Yuan Xi glanced at the sword in her arms, then lowered his head.

Zhang Chunhua bit the bullet and said: "General, I can't take this sword concubine. This time I'm here to return it."

"Don't you want to compete?"

Yuan Xi still didn't look up.

Zhang Chunhua's heart trembled slightly, and she blurted out an explanation: "This concubine is greedy and doesn't know what the general wants."

"Oh?" Yuan Xi raised his head slowly, "What do I mean?"

Zhang Chunhua knelt on the ground with a puff, "I know I was wrong, but this Yitian sword is a precious thing, and it's really not for women to get it."

"Who asked you to come?"

Zhang Chunhua bowed his head and remained silent.

"Snapped!"

Yuan Xi slapped the table with a slap, "You don't want it and you have to grab the Yitian Sword. Could it be that you're making fun of me?"

"The daughter of the people is convicted."

Zhang Chunhua trembled all over, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he didn't dare to explain more, he just pleaded guilty.

There was a sound of footsteps, and then Zhang Chunhua saw a pair of feet appearing in front of him.

"You are the first one who dares to make fun of me. Tell me, how should you be punished?"

Zhang Chunhua felt miserable, and said in a trembling voice: "The daughter of the people knows her mistake, once she is punished by the general."

Yuan Xi looked down at Zhang Chunhua who was prostrate on the ground, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Tell me the truth, do you like this Yitian sword?"

Zhang Chunhua hesitated for a moment, not daring to hide it, and said, "I like it."

"So, someone asked you to return the sword?"

Zhang Chunhua hung his head, hesitated for a long time before humming.

"Sima Yi?"

Zhang Chunhua sighed, so many people saw this scene today, how could they hide it?
Now that Yuan Xi told her, she no longer concealed it.

"interesting."

Yuan Xi sat down after returning to the table, "Tell me, why did he ask you to send it back?"

Zhang Chunhua's thoughts changed sharply, and he said: "Zhong Dayan said that the Yitian sword was given to Miss Ma, and I got it by accident. I'm afraid it will make the general unhappy."

Yuan Xi sneered and said, "Is he Sima Yi a roundworm in my stomach? I just voted for you. Why did it become something specially for Yunlu?"

Zhang Chunhua's cheeks were on fire.

At that time, she could see it clearly, and it was just as Yuan Xi thought.

But Sima Yifei said that it was given to Ma Yunlu, and he took it for himself.

He also forced her to return the sword.

"Let's go back."

Yuan Xi's voice was full of displeasure, "I don't want to hear such words again, this sword was won by you dignifiedly, so it should belong to you, what's the point of me taking it back?"

Zhang Chunhua walked out of Yuan Mansion in a daze.

After walking a few steps, he saw a person head-on.

"Why don't you send the sword back?"

Sima Yi was very angry, thinking that Zhang Chunhua was obedient and returned the sword, but she didn't expect that she came back with the sword in her arms.

Zhang Chunhua was in a dilemma for a long time. Hearing this, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "The general just said that he doesn't have the thoughts you think at all. Obviously you are thinking too much, why should I return the sword?"

"You!" Sima Yi flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "The words of a woman are so stubborn!"

In his eyes, Zhang Chunhua is a gentle and virtuous woman, her performance today made him very dissatisfied.

No matter how well Zhang Chunhua was recuperating, he was also angry at this moment, "Sima Zhongda, although I am your fiancée, we are not married, why have you humiliated me so many times today?"

Sima Yi was taken aback.

"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. I, Zhang Chunhua, don't believe that no one will want you."

Zhang Chunhua stuffed the Yitian sword into Sima Yi's arms, turned around and left.

Sima Yi was completely irritated by her attitude, pointed at her back and trembled all over, snorted, and went into the house with the Yitian sword.

Zhang Chunhua didn't go far, and when he looked back, he happened to see Sima Yi entering Yuan's mansion with Yitian Sword.

She sighed softly.

Inside Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Xi looked at the Yitian sword and said: "Sima Zhongda, it's not good for people to be too smart sometimes. I gave away the Yitian sword today. Do you really think I want to come back?"

Sima Yi sighed: "The Yitian Sword is a precious thing. I, Sima Yi, am a defeated general. I have never made any contribution to the great general. How can I accept such a precious thing?"

Yuan Xi was immediately amused: "This is what Miss Zhang got, so what does it have to do with you?"

Sima Yi's expression froze, "Chunhua is my fiancee"

I can't speak anymore.

"Take the sword back and return it to Miss Zhang."

Yuan Xi's voice was light, "Miss Zhang won the Yitian Sword in full view, even if you are his fiancée, how can you win the favor of others?"

Sima Yi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"And don't misunderstand me. Your thoughts today make me very disappointed."

"The grassroots know their mistakes."

Sima Yi bowed his head in shame and admitted his mistake.

I don't know when, snowflakes are falling again.

The scabbard of the Yitian sword was cold, and Sima Yi walked out of Yuan Mansion in a daze.

Walking step by step towards the distance, the heavy snow covered his sight, and he didn't notice it.

"Zhong Da."

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded.

Zhang Chunhua didn't leave. Seeing Sima Yi walking out of the Yuan Mansion holding the Yitian Sword, she hurried over to greet him.

With curiosity on his face.

It's just that this expression was full of irony in Sima Yi's eyes.

He snorted and threw the Yitian Sword to the ground.

"What you want." Turn around and leave.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Chunhua hurriedly picked up the Yitian Sword and shouted at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi didn't reply, and disappeared into the distance with fast but steady steps.

Zhang Chunhua's pretty face turned pale, stomped his feet, turned and walked in the opposite direction.

The next morning, after Yuan Xifu had breakfast, he saw Chunyuqiong rushing over.

"My lord, Cao Hong has already been brought here from Hangu Pass."

"Bring him up."

Soon Cao Hong arrived.

Cao Hong staggered, his face was sallow, and his hands were tied behind his back.

Yuan Xi sat down and ordered someone to untie Cao Hong.

Chunyuqiong was taken aback, "Master, this man is brave, I think it's better to tie him up."

"Unbind."

Chunyuqiong had no choice but to let someone untie Cao Hong.

Cao Hong, who was untied, didn't make any resistance, and just stood there with his eyes blank.

"Cao Zilian, let me ask you if Ma Mengqi is dead?"

Cao Hong glanced at Yuan Xi, "I don't know."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "The only value you want to live is to exchange for Ma Mengqi, you should think about it carefully, whether to exchange or not."

Cao Hong's expression moved slightly, his eyes became bigger due to weight loss, staring at Yuan Xi, as if he wanted to see if Yuan Xi was joking.

"Change! As long as you don't break your promise, you will definitely change."

"Oh, you are so important?" Yuan Xi smiled, "I was worried that Cao Pi would not change."

Waving to Qin Wu, Qin Wu offered his pen and ink.

"Since you are so confident, write a letter to Cao Pi and exchange you for Ma Mengqi, his generals and family members."

Cao Hong frowned and said, "One for one, how can we exchange so many people?"

"You don't have the qualifications to make terms with me. It's just a matter of saying whether to change or not."

Cao Hong had no choice but to take the brush and start writing.

"Write it clearly. There is only one chance. Don't bargain with me. If you don't agree, it's over."

Cao Hong's face was flushed with anger, and finally he let out a helpless sigh.

Soon a letter was written, Chunyu Qiong took it, and nodded slightly to Yuan Xi after reading it.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi waved his hand, "Take it to the front line. Replace it as quickly as possible."

Ma Yunlu was so anxious that Yuan Xi couldn't help it.

After everyone reported yesterday's situation, they all retreated.

Yuan Xi knew the talents of these people, but Yuan Xi seldom cared about their actions.

In his opinion, he might as well ignore it.

Yuan Xi has stayed here for so long, what he has to do is to deal with the aftermath, and he needs to control the direction of some major events.

If he doesn't nod, no one dares to do it.

As things became less and less, Yuan Xi also wanted to go back.

Now that the Yuan family is the dominant family, Yuan Xi doesn't need to be at the front all the time.

Yuan Xi planned to return to Yecheng after a while.

With Zhang He and Pang Tong sitting on the front line, he is very relieved. When next spring comes, he believes that with the abilities of Pang Tong and Zhang He, Bashu will be able to go down sooner or later.

Zhang He may lack ability, but Pang Tong is there.

The two complement each other, so why is Liu Zhang an opponent?
On the other hand, he planned to rest for a period of time after returning to Yecheng, and sit and watch Liu Biao's actions.

Pang Tong and Zhang He marched smoothly, but he did not move.

When the two men's march was blocked, he led the army south to Jingzhou.

After unifying the north, Yuan Xi had the same thoughts as Cao Cao.

Unify the world as soon as possible.

Yuan Xi is confident that he has more advantages than Cao Cao back then.

There is no reason to encounter Cao Cao's situation.

Flipping through the bamboo slips that needed to be processed, Yuan Xi took out one of them.

He was drawn to a name.

"Call this surrendered general named Zhang Ren."

Seeing Zhang Ren, Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat, remembering how Pang Tong died.

Cheng Yu glanced at him and said, "The lord knows this person?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, and asked casually, "When Hangu Pass was broken, were there other people besides Cao Jun?"

"No, it's all Cao Jun."

Yuan Xi knocked on the table, "Go and call Sima Yi over."

Cheng Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the guards to call for someone.

Zhang Ren is panicking now.

When Yuan Jun attacked Hangu Pass, he ordered all soldiers and horses to pretend to be Cao soldiers.

If the city is broken, they will all surrender as Cao Jun.

The identity of Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses must not be revealed.

Originally, it was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but I didn't expect things to progress quite well.

Although nearly [-] subordinates were reorganized, but because of his good attitude, he commanded most of them.

The remaining soldiers and horses are also in charge of his subordinates.

So until now, their identities have not been revealed.

It's just a pity that I couldn't follow Zhang Yun to the front line.

Although Yuan Jun didn't feel too embarrassed about Cao Jun who surrendered, he was obviously not too relieved.

Zhang Ren has been waiting for the opportunity.

As long as they are transferred to the front line, he is sure to return safely with his soldiers and horses.

However, today Yuan Xi actually asked to see him by name.

Zhang Ren's heart was beating up and down, beating violently, and his expression was extremely unnatural.

"General Zhang."

Guo Tuhou was outside the tent. When he saw Zhang Ren, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, general, congratulations, general."

Zhang Ren's heart moved, his eyebrows trembled, "Dare to ask the military division, where does the joy come from?"

Zhang Ren knew Guo Tu, and he was the one who surrendered when he surrendered.

Guo Tu naturally also knew Zhang Ren, because Zhang Ren was extremely smart and had a very good attitude, which left a deep impression on Guo Tu.

Guo Tu invited him in, and said with a smile, "The general will know as soon as he goes in."

Zhang Ren walked in anxiously.

"Zhang Ren, right?"

Yuan Xi sized up Zhang Ren, he didn't see anything special about his ordinary appearance.

Zhang Ren cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The last general is Zhang Ren. I have seen the general. I don't know why the general is looking for the last general."

"It's nothing serious. The last time our army broke through Hangu Pass, you led your troops to surrender. You made a great contribution and performed very well."

Zhang Ren didn't dare to say it hurriedly, but he was completely relieved in his heart.

"Where is my hometown?"

Zhang Rengang's relaxed heartstrings tensed immediately, and he said with a dry smile, "I'm from Lantian. I was originally the local guard. Later, after the Cao army broke through Lantian, they recruited us."

Yuan Xi frowned, "So you worked under Ma Chao before?"

Zhang Ren was in a panic, and secretly scolded himself for talking too much, saying that it was not good to say anything, but he had to say Lantian.

Now bite the bullet and say yes.

"Then how is Ma Chao?"

Zhang Ren thought about Yuan Xi's words, and said in a low voice, "General Ma was imprisoned by Cao Jun. The last general doesn't know the details."

"Ah."

Yuan Xidao: "Perform well. Under my command, only you have the ability. Don't worry about not having the chance to get promoted."

Zhang Ren came out, frowning.

I thought Yuan Xi would ask something, but I didn't expect Yuan Xi to just say a few words.

Let him not know what Yuan Xi meant.

"Are you just trying to reward me?"

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a figure approaching in the distance.

"Sima Yi." Zhang Ren stepped forward quickly.

Sima Yi was also taken aback when he saw Zhang Ren, he cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect to see General Zhang here."

"What are you here for?"

"The general asked me to come, but he didn't know why." Sima Yi said honestly.

Zhang Ren looked around and said in a low voice, "You voted for General Yuan?"

Sima Yi closed his eyes slightly, "General Zhang seems to be hiding under the identity of Cao Jun?"

Zhang Ren smiled, "Mr. Sima, you haven't answered my question yet."

Sima Yi said indifferently: "So-and-so is just a prisoner now."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Sima Yi just laughed and didn't speak.

Zhang Ren frowned and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you, but I'm hiding my identity now, and I hope you don't reveal my identity. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I die."

He really didn't like Sima Yi.

Sima Yi sighed.

"Zhongda is here."

Yuan Xi cut to the chase and asked, "Do you know Zhang Ren?"

At this time, everyone present was also at a loss.

I don't know why Yuan Xi called Zhang Renlai first and then Sima Yi.
