Three Kingdoms lazy man

"I'll see you, Da Sima!" A man in black, led by a soldier, came to the room cautiously, then looked at Cao Xiu who was sitting on the seat, and stared at himself with some unkind eyes , said to Cao Xiu respectfully in a low tone.

"I don't know why Sun Quan sent you here?" Cao Xiu looked at the wretched envoy in front of him with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, and asked with a hint of doubt.

"I am not Sun Quan's envoy, but the confidant of Poyang prefect Zhou Bing. The prefect has a letter and asked me to hand it over to Da Sima." The envoy looked at Cao Xiu, as if he was dissatisfied with himself, and walked carefully. He took out the letter from his sleeve, and said to Cao Xiu in a cautious tone.

Cao Xiu's guards came to the middle of the hall carefully, took the letter from the eater, and handed it to Cao Xiu who was sitting on the seat.

Cao Xiu opened the letter suspiciously, then looked at the letter carefully, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked at the envoy in front of him with a gloomy expression, and said to the envoy in a somewhat cold tone: "Haha! Such a poor scheme , why can't I see that your prefect can trick me with just a letter?"

The envoy standing on the lobby looked at Cao Xiu who was in front of him laughing, and suddenly his complexion became a little heavy. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he stood cautiously in the lobby, not daring to move.

Bu Zhi at the side looked at Cao Xiu's appearance at this time, and suddenly looked a little puzzled, and Cao Xiu also handed the letter in his hand to the guards at the side, asking them to show Bu Zhi.

Bu Zhi looked at the letter that Cao Xiu had handed over for him, and after a closer look, he realized that the letter was a letter of surrender, and the person who wrote the letter was Zhou Bing, the prefect of Poyang in Soochow.

It turned out that Zhou Bing wanted to join Cao Wei in his letter, but Sun Quan was watching him firmly. He wanted Cao Xiu to send troops to attack Soochow, and he would take the opportunity to cooperate with others.

"Da Sima, there may be fraud in this letter, so don't be careful." Bu Zhi slowly put down the letter in his hand at this time, looked at Cao Xiu with a gloomy face, and said to Cao Xiu in a low voice.

"Grand Sima, the small words are true. Now Eastern Wu is dominated by aristocratic families, and the children of poor families have no future. My master wants to go to Cao Wei for a long time." The envoy looked at Cao Xiu who was sitting on the seat with a look on his face. Unbelievable, he hastily explained to Cao Xiu in a somewhat eager tone.

After Cao Xiu heard what the envoy said, he suddenly became a little confused, and his whole mind began to waver. After all, if this matter is true, he, Cao Xiu, will be able to achieve a feat that is rare in the world. , He can ask about the position of Cao Wei's number one general.

"Since you said that your master wants to join me, Cao Wei, then go back and tell your master that if you want to join my Cao Wei, at least show something decent to prove it!" Cao Xiu looked at the envoy in front of him with a gloomy expression. , gently stroked his beard, hesitated for a moment, and said to the envoy in front of him with a somewhat cold tone.

Chapter 931 Zhou Dory Breaks Her Hair

Seeing the back of the envoy from Soochow going away, Bu Zhi, who was sitting on the side, looked at Cao Xiu, who had a serious face, and said to Cao Xiu in a heavy tone: "General, I think This matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty, after all, I feel that this matter is a bit strange, I am afraid Soochow will do something again!"

After listening to Bu Zhi's words, Cao Xiu nodded to him calmly, and then said to Bu Zhi in a calm tone, "We'll discuss this matter after it's confirmed. Don't bother Your Majesty with this trivial matter now."

"En!" Bu Zhi looked at Cao Xiu and said this, so he nodded calmly, and then silently began to deal with the official business in front of him.

The Jiangdong envoy who came to Shouchun in the Ming Dynasty left Huainan area quickly, and conveyed the news to Sun Quan and Zhou Dory, who were building a business.

When Sun Quan got the news, his complexion sank immediately, and he looked at Zhou Dory beside him, gritted his teeth, and said to Zhou Dory in a heavy tone: "It seems that Cao Xiu is very vigilant now, it is difficult to It's a trick."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let me think about how to deal with it." Zhou Dory's face was very heavy when he heard the news. Seeing Sun Quan's appearance, Zhou Dory replied to Sun Quan in a calm tone, and then Silently lowered his head to think about how to deal with this enemy.

Sun Quan also looked at Zhou Dory helplessly, and suddenly he noticed that Zhou Dory raised his head, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he came to Sun Quan's side silently, and said to Sun Quan in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, can you take me away from you?" Lend me the sword at your waist?"

Seeing Zhou Dory's appearance, Sun Quan suddenly looked slightly wrong, hesitated a little, then took off the sword hanging from his waist, and silently handed it to Zhou Dory in front of him.

"Ding!" Zhou Dory gently pulled the sword given by Sun Quan out of the scabbard in his hand, and when the sword came out of the scabbard, there was a low groaning sound of the sword, and at the same time, accompanied by a burst of sword light, It seems that the saber on Sun Quan's body is indeed a very good sword.

Sun Quan frowned slightly at this time, looking at Zhou Dory's movements in front of him, he didn't know what he was going to do, so he could only widen his eyes, and his nephew stared carefully at Zhou Dory in front of him.

Under Sun Quan's watchful eyes, Zhou Dory put the sword in his hand next to his neck, and then cut off all his hair.

"You are!" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Dory's actions, and suddenly his whole face became a little shocked. He watched Zhou Dory put the sword in his hand into the scabbard, and then silently squatted down on his body. , picked up the hair that had just been cut off.

The concept of ancient people is very different from that of modern people. Loved ones can easily cut their hair, but few people in ancient times would cut their own hair. The so-called body hair and skin are influenced by parents, and general hair represents It is the head of this person, so in ancient times cutting hair was also a punishment, called Kun punishment.

And I think that when Cao Cao took his subordinates to go hunting, he trampled on other people's farmland, and it was spring plowing time, Cao Cao destroyed other people's farmland, even if he violated the laws at that time, according to the law at that time According to the law, Cao Cao should be beheaded.

However, Cao Cao was the person in power at the time, and it was difficult for ordinary people to punish Cao Cao, but if he did not punish him, it would be difficult to implement the law, and others would think that the law had no dignity.

However, Cao Cao is a traitor in the world, how could he be stumped by such a small difficulty, so he cut off his hair in front of everyone, which is to replace the head with hair.

So Cao Cao used such a clever method to not only keep the majesty of the law, but also keep his own head, and also won the praise of the people. It can also be seen that in ancient times, the importance of hair to a person.

Sun Quan's eyes widened at this time, looking at Zhou Dory, who had a heavy complexion, holding his hair in his hand, and stood there in shock, with his mouth open, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Zhou Bream also noticed that Sun Quan was standing there with a somewhat shocked expression, holding tightly the hair he had just cut off in his hand, so he looked at Sun Quan silently, and said to Sun Quan with a serious tone: "If I use this cut off hair to prove that I am With the loyalty of surrendering to Cao Wei, coupled with the temptation of being able to take down Soochow, Cao Xiu will definitely fall into the trap."

"However, it is too unfair to you in this way." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Dory who cut off his hair, and said to Zhou Dory in a tone of unbearable, after all, now that Zhou Dory cuts off his own hair, maybe he will be looked down upon by these poor families The children's aristocratic families laughed at him.

"Now it's just a few inches of hair. If I can use these hairs in exchange for the place where I came back, I will be worthy of myself. Now that I can help His Majesty complete the great cause, what is this little hair?" Zhou Dory looked at Sun Quan in front of him with some regrets. eyes, suddenly burst into laughter, and said to Sun Quan in front of him with a somewhat complacent tone.

Sun Quan looked at the calm look of Zhou Dory in front of him, finally showed a helpless wry smile, and then replied calmly to Zhou Dory in front of him: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down, I decided to do this Take the land of Huainan one at a time!"

So Zhou Bream called the envoy who sent the letter to write a letter with sincere words and wrapped his hair in the letter, and asked the envoy to cross the Yangtze River and go to Huainan area to meet Cao Xiu. .

"It's just this time!" Zhou Dory said with some emotion as he watched the envoy's receding back, and then looked at the surrounding green hills near the capital.

"Da Sima, the envoy is here again, saying that he has something important to see Da Sima!" And at that time, Cao Xiu was training his soldiers in the barracks, only to see the soldiers guarding the city gate slowly coming to the platform of the barracks Go up, and said to Cao Xiu in a low voice.

When Cao Xiu heard the news, he showed a trace of surprise on his face. He handed over the banner he used to train the soldiers to the school lieutenant, and hurried to his mansion, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to bring the envoy to In his mansion.

In the mansion, Cao Xiu looked at the letter in his hand and the many wrapped hairs in the letter, and his face suddenly became a little dignified. At this time, Cao Xiu also began to choose to believe that the other party really surrendered.

"Has your master made an appointment?" Cao Xiu looked at the envoy who came to deliver the letter with serious eyes, and said to the envoy in a calm tone.

The envoy looked at Cao Xiu, as if he had completely believed in him, and immediately showed a joyful expression, and then hurriedly said to Cao Xiu in front of him: "Da Sima, this matter is very important now, how can you just say a few words?" Have you decided on a time? I will report to my master first, and come to inform Da Sima when I find the right time."

Cao Xiu listened to what the soldier in front of him said, and felt that what he said was very reasonable. After all, cooperation between the inside and the outside is a very careful thing. How can we make an accurate appointment, and we need to see the timing.

"If that's the case, go back and report to your master, and let him prepare well, and wait until my Cao Wei army arrives at Soochow." Cao Xiu looked at the envoy in front of him calmly, hesitated for a moment, and spoke in a calm tone. Said to the messenger in front of him.

After listening to Cao Xiu's words, the envoy nodded quickly, saluted, then left the room, then left Shouchun City quickly, and went back to announce the good news to Soochow.

In the prefect's mansion in the city, Bu Zhi, who was handling official business, got the news that Cao Xiu was gathering his soldiers, and suddenly became a little surprised, and rushed to Cao Xiu's Da Sima's mansion to visit Cao Xiu.

"General, why are you mobilizing soldiers all of a sudden?" Bu Zhi looked at Cao Xiu who was sitting in the mansion with a smile on his face, and asked Cao Xiu in a doubtful tone.

A calm smile appeared on Cao Xiu's face, and he told Bu Zhi in front of him what had happened.

"General, what does this mere hair mean? I think it's better for the general to be more careful. After all, when the Taiwei was in Huainan, he said that as long as Huainan is guarded." Bu Zhi looked at the smiling face of Cao Xiu in front of him, After a little hesitation, he persuaded Cao Xiu with a serious tone.

"Hmph! Taiwei! Now, I, Cao Xiu, are the guards of Huainan. If I stick to Huainan all day long and cannot get out, I will be able to unify the world and restore my great Wei." Cao Xiu listened to Bu Zhi's words, and his whole body The person's complexion turned sour, he looked at Bu Zhi with an angry expression, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

Cao Xiu has always been under the pressure of Bai Ren. Bai Ren is about the same age as him, and Cao Xiu, who has always been at a disadvantage, doesn't like this feeling very much. At this moment, he wants to prove to the world that he is Cao Wei's number one general.

Bu Zhi looked at Cao Xiu in front of him who was determined to send troops to attack Soochow, he sighed helplessly, saluted at last, and silently retreated to his prefect's mansion under Cao Xiu's cold gaze,

After returning to the mansion, Bu Zhi immediately wrote two letters, one was sent to Taiwei's mansion, and the other was sent to the current Wei Emperor Cao Rui.

Chapter 932 Bai Ren's Plan

Soon, there was news from Zhou Bingxin from Soochow, and he made an agreement with Cao Xiu to send troops to attack Lujiang on the fifth day of May, and he would also send troops to Poyang at the same time.

When Cao Xiu received such news, he immediately smiled. He already felt that he would become one of the best in the world, and he would also make immortal contributions to Cao Wei.

"Haha, I will be Cao Wei's No. 1 from now on!" Cao Xiu was sitting in his room with an extremely proud face, looking at the map of Soochow on the table, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he pacified Soochow in one fell swoop, he attacked Jingzhou all the way west, took more Bashu, and made immortal contributions to Cao Wei.

But Bu Zhi sat helplessly in his prefect's mansion, and when he learned that Cao Xiu would send troops to attack Soochow on the fifth day of May, Bu Zhi's mind became heavier and heavier, and he felt more and more that this was a conspiracy by Soochow trick.
