The strongest Marquis in history

Cao Xuan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Zhan Master Wufa, now I give up Xiang Peng for the sake of the overall situation, so if I encounter difficulties in the future, and even have to sacrifice the Great Chan Temple, can I also give up the Great Chan Temple for the sake of the situation? What? If you do this, people’s hearts will disperse.”

Wufa's eyes were sharp, and on his slightly aged face, his expression was even more indifferent, and he said indifferently: "If in the future, it involves the overall situation of Yanzhou and the interests of the world, and you need to give up my Great Chan Temple, then you just go ahead and do it." .”

"Cao Xuan, you need to know one thing. Dachan Temple supports you not simply for the sake of Dachan Temple becoming the state religion, not just for the so-called reverence of Buddhism. It is more because you have the thoughts of the common people in your heart, and because you are willing to let the people Have a good time."

"Once a hero rises, the common people will live for ten years. If you want to rise, you must step forward on countless bones to achieve the future. During this period, countless people will die."

"But no matter how many people die, everything is for the future. Such pain is worth it."

"For the peace of the world in the future, everyone in the world can sacrifice; all the soldiers can sacrifice; I, the Great Zen Temple, can sacrifice. Why can't I sacrifice it when it is placed on Xiang Peng?"

Wufa's voice was thick and strong, resounding through the camp, and he said loudly, "You, Cao Xuan, are the ones who have to bear the weight of the world. Could it be that you can't even bear the weight of losing Xiang Peng?"

After Cao Xuan heard this, his expression was solemn and dignified.

Enlightenment's words shocked him very much.

This is a righteous statement.

Cao Xuan took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Zen Master Wufa, I'm the one who made the appearance."

Wufa nodded and said: "Cao Yanzhou, the current situation does not allow you to be reckless or reckless. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Yanzhou. If you really want to go to war with Qi, you will use the egg to hit the stone. What you have to do now is to do it as soon as possible." Develop yourself. The place where you can expand now is Liu Heng in Yuzhou. Hurry up, time will wait!"

Cao Xuandao: "I understand."

Wufa continued: "It's good that you understand. If you insist on going to war, you can't say that I am a great Zen temple. You can only go back to seclusion and stop meddling in worldly disputes."

Cao Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

It's beating him.

Tell him not to act recklessly, otherwise, the Great Zen Temple can evacuate at any time.

Cao Xuan felt a little unhappy.

But at the moment, he cannot do without the support of the Great Chan Temple.With the Grand Master of the Great Chan Temple, as well as all the master masters of the Great Chan Temple, Cao Xuan's strength can be enhanced like never before, and he can even gather the power of the world.Once the Great Zen Temple is gone, its strength will weaken sharply.

Cao Xuan's expression didn't change much, he smiled and said, "Zhan Master Wufa, I understand what to do."

"The poor monk resigns!"

Wufa said Amitabha, and left with a group of monks under his command.

Cao Xuan sat down again, and he didn't arrange anyone to notify Xiang Peng for the time being. At this time, Cao Xuan really didn't think about how to tell Xiang Peng, because what he did was tantamount to giving up Xiang Peng.

You know, Xiang Peng was a prisoner before, and he would rather die than surrender.That's why Wang Qicai threw Xiang Peng under Wang Zongxi's command to make full use of Xiang Peng's value.

Finally, Xiang Peng survived to victory, helped Wang Zongxi defeat Yan Zhong, and returned to Cao Xuan's command again.Now Cao Xuan wants to abandon Xiang Peng again.

Cao Xuan couldn't offend the Great Chan Temple, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold.After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Xuan didn't have a clear idea, so he ordered: "Come here, tell Junjun Cen to come."

"Yes!"

The guard at the door responded and went to inform.

Not long after, Cen Wen entered.

Chapter 641 Deception

Cen Wen bowed and said expectantly: "My lord, Wufa went to reconcile, and even wanted to blackmail Wang Qi. What's the final result?"

He had already received the news of Enlightenment Dharma's return, so he was looking forward to it.Once a large amount of food and money is extorted from Qi, it will be like a rain of rain for Yanzhou, which can alleviate part of Yanzhou's plight.

Today's Yanzhou is not prosperous, and the life of the people is not particularly good.

"Ugh……"

Cao Xuan sighed when he heard it.

Cen Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Master, why are you sighing?"

After the words fell, Cen Wen seemed to have thought of something, his eyes became more solemn, and he said: "Could it be that something happened, Zen Master Wufa's trip is not going well."

Cao Xuan replied: "It's not just that it didn't go well. We didn't blackmail Wang Qi, but got into a mess and got into trouble ourselves. If we knew this would happen, we wouldn't interfere, mediate, or blackmail Wang Qi."

Cen Wen asked eagerly, "What's going on?"

Cao Xuan roughly talked about it, from Wufa and Yang Sanqian's failure to blackmail, to being threatened by Wang Qi, and then Yang Sanqian's night attack failed at night, but was captured by Wang Qi instead.

After Cao Xuan explained the general situation, he finally said: "Wang Qi threatened Wufa and asked me to hand over Xiang Peng to him and let Xiang Peng work for Wang Qi. Otherwise, Wang Qi will send troops to Yanzhou and destroy Yanzhou."

Cen Wen flicked his sleeves, and said decisively: "How is this possible? Once Xiang Peng is abandoned, it is tantamount to cutting off an arm. This is not just a simple matter of losing a Xiang Peng. Once the news spreads, it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers. Minister It is recommended to ignore Wang Qi, he wants to start a war, and we will fight to the end. In Yanzhou, we did not gain peace by admitting counsel."

Cao Xuan sighed, and said: "This is what I explained to Wufa. I was going to fight Wang Qi, but Wufa directly refused. Wufa even threatened that once the war really started, the Great Chan Temple would be withdrawn. Help us. In desperation, the official can only temporarily agree to stabilize the enlightenment. It's just that I think it's not appropriate, so I asked the military teacher to discuss it."

"Ugh……"

Cen Wen also sighed when he heard it.

Enlightenment, this is adding to the chaos!

It's just that today's Great Zen Temple is extremely important to Cao Xuan.If the Great Chan Temple is withdrawn, the strength of the entire Yanzhou will drop a lot.Once confronted with Wang Qi's army, it is bound to lose.

For a moment, Cen Wen was no longer so determined to go to war just now, he even found it troublesome.

Cen Wen thought for a while and said, "My lord, please come and discuss with Cheng Gong. Cheng Gong is well-informed, and perhaps Cheng Gong can give a more suitable strategy."

Cao Xuan nodded when he heard it, and immediately ordered the soldiers to notify the chief secretary Cheng Lin to discuss the matter.

Not long after, Cheng Lin entered.

He is very busy these days, and he is a little older. After standing still, he said: "My lord."

Cao Xuan nodded to Cen Wen, and Cen Wen quickly explained the general situation of Wufa's mission, and finally Cen Wen said: "Chenggong, it is very difficult to deal with Xiang Peng. If you don't let him go, the Dachan Temple will reconcile with you." We fell out. Letting people go is like cutting off an arm, which would be chilling. Now, what should we do?"

Cao Xuan said: "Cheng Gong, I don't know how to deal with this for a while. Wang Qi is deliberately disgusting me and deliberately targeting us. He did it on purpose."

Cheng Lin frowned suddenly, stroked her beard under her jaw and thought.

Things are indeed complicated.

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Lin let out a sigh of relief, and said, "My lord, it is definitely impossible to start a war. Today, even with the help of the Great Chan Temple, our overall strength is no match for Wang Qi."

"What's more, now that Wang Qi is not constrained by Zhang Shiqi, it is even more difficult for our family to contend. Furthermore, the withdrawal of the Great Chan Temple has a great impact on us. The power of the Great Chan Temple must be united and must be united Under the lord's command."

"The problem right now is Xiang Peng."

"The old man's suggestion, we don't give up on Xiang Peng, but let Xiang Peng willingly join Wang Qi's command. We let Xiang Peng keep an eye on Wang Qi's whereabouts and observe the situation of Qi State for the lord."

Cheng Lin's eyes were sharp, and she said: "It can only be like this now. Although this is an act of giving up Xiang Peng, in fact, he didn't give up. It can be regarded as a little bit of salvation."

Cen Wen said: "Actually, this is tantamount to giving up. This is self-deception."

Cheng Lin said: "No matter what, it still gives Xiang Peng a glimmer of hope. In such a situation, it is better than throwing Xiang Peng away directly, and he will feel better in his heart."

Cen Wen nodded after hearing this, and stopped talking.He also agrees with what Cheng Lin said, he can only deceive himself like this, at least give Xiang Peng a glimmer of hope.

Cao Xuan thought about it after listening, and he also admitted that this is the best way.

Other than that, there is no other way.

Cao Xuan said in a deep voice: "I summoned Xiang Peng and told him about this matter."

"No!"

Cheng Lin shook her head and said, "My lord, this matter is for the old minister. The old minister will let Xiang Peng agree, and he will also inform this matter, but there are also different ways. The minister will finalize the matter, and the lord will make some arrangements. At that time, the lord Confidentially, and think carefully for Xiang Peng, things will be much easier to handle."

After a pause, Cheng Lin said again: "In short, what the lord has to do is to say that he doesn't want Xiang Peng to go, and that he will respect Xiang Peng's opinion and so on. The main thing is to win Xiang Peng over."

After Cao Xuan listened to it, he generally understood that Cheng Lin was going to be a bad person and let him be a good person.

Only in this way can people be saved.

Not to lose heart.

Cao Xuan stood up, cupped his hands to salute Cheng Lin, and said, "Dong Cheng, thank you for your hard work."

Cheng Lin hurriedly dodged, and he said solemnly: "My lord is my lord's subject. My lord has some worries. I should take care of my lord's worries. This is only right. Please don't let me offend you. Please wait for the good news from me, my lord." , I will let Xiang Peng go willingly."

Cao Xuan said: "Thank you Cheng Gong."

"Your servant is not working hard!"

After Cheng Lin answered, she turned and left.After he left the tent, he went straight to Xiang Peng's tent, but Xiang Peng was not there.Cheng Lin inquired and learned that Xiang Peng was sharpening his halberd nearby to keep the blade of the iron halberd sharp.

After Cheng Lin found Xiang Peng, she said, "Xiang Peng, I have something to tell you."

Xiang Peng kept his hands on and said, "Say."

Cheng Lin said: "This is a big matter, go back to the camp first, and the old man will talk to you carefully."

"Yes!"

Xiang Peng nodded.

He put away the iron halberd and went back to the tent with Cheng Lin. After asking Cheng Lin to sit down, he sat down himself and said, "Cheng Gong, what's the matter with you today?"

The expression on Cheng Lin's old face was a little heavy, and she said, "Yang Sanqian and Wufa went to Wang Qi's camp and failed to blackmail Wang Qi. Now that Wufa came back, he also brought back the news and situation from the front line."

Xiang Peng also looked surprised, and said: "How is this possible? Yang Sanqian is the leader of the Taoist sect and a master of the Great Master Realm. Wufa is also the Great Master of the Great Zen Temple. The two of them also brought so many Grandmaster, how could it fail?"

Cheng Lin said: "Not only was it a failure, Yang Sanqian was injured and captured now. Several masters from the Zixia Mountain lineage died, and only Pu Yuanxiao took his people back to Zixia Mountain. And Pu Yuan The reason Xiao Xiao was able to go back was because Wang Qi let him go back to Zixia Mountain and told Zixia Mountain that he wanted to give Wang Qi an explanation. Otherwise, Yang Sanqian’s life would be lost and he would deal with Zixia Mountain.”

"hiss!"

Xiang Peng was shocked when he heard it.

Incredible.

Is Wang Qi so powerful?

He knew that Wang Qi's martial arts were powerful, and he shouldn't be so powerful. The great master said that if he captured it, he would capture it.Especially Wang Qi's young age, with such strength at such a young age, who can check and balance Wang Qi in the future?

After Xiang Peng was surprised, he pondered in his heart.There is something wrong with this matter, because such things should not be told to him, but to Cao Xuan.

Xiang Peng is just a personal guard.

Just to protect Cao Xuan.

Chapter 642

Xiang Peng was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Cheng came to me on a special trip. Could it be that this matter has something to do with me?"

Cheng Lin nodded and said, "Does it have something to do with you?"

Xiang Peng said, "What's going on?"

Cheng Lin sighed, and then slowly explained: "Zen Master Wufa from the Great Chan Temple came back, and he brought back news that Wang Qi sent an order to the Lord to let you go under Wang Qi's command and serve Wang Qi."

"As long as the lord disagrees, Wang Qi will go to war and attack Yanzhou desperately. We will blackmail him in retaliation. Wufa is on the front line and has already agreed for the lord. When he came back to report to the lord, he threatened the lord, saying that Yanzhou and When Qi goes to war, Yanzhou can't stop it, as long as the lord insists on going to war, the Dachan Temple will leave and no longer serve the lord."

"Because of this, my lord is very worried."

"On the one hand, my lord is worried about you, and on the other hand, I am worried about Dachan Temple. At the same time, my lord is even more angry with what Dachan Temple has done. My lord called the old man and Cen Junshi to discuss matters. He said that he would keep you and never give up on you."

Cheng Lin said: "Even the lord has let go, even if there is a war, I will not hesitate, even if the Dachan Temple has to leave. In this matter, the old man suggests that the lord release you to Wang Qi's command."

Xiang Peng's expression immediately collapsed, and he was a little silent.

He just came back.

When this incident happened, it was obvious that the current situation meant that he was already under Wang Qi's command.

Cheng Lin looked calm, and continued: "About your arrangement, the old man's plan is very simple. In Yanzhou today, it is impossible to give up the Great Chan Temple. Once the Great Chan Temple leaves, the lord's strength will be greatly reduced. Wang Qi really wants to kill him, and the lord can't stop him." live."

"For the sake of the lord's foundation, I can only sacrifice you temporarily. However, the lord is not sacrificing you, it is arranged."

"This time, Wang Qi made it clear that he was disgusting with the lord and wanted to target the lord, so we took advantage of the situation and used our tactics. It happened that the lord was by Wang Qi's side, and there was no eyeliner, and no one was watching the situation of Qi."

"So I hope that you pretend to submit to Wang Qi and watch Wang Qi's every move on behalf of the lord. This is the old man's suggestion. The lord has not agreed yet."

"Because my lord thinks that the old man's suggestion is unfair to you."

Cheng Lin changed her words.

In fact, it was already a matter of agreement. He changed his statement and said that Cao Xuan had not agreed. This was to take Xiang Peng's face into consideration, not to disappoint Xiang Peng, and to reassure Xiang Peng.

Anyway, Cao Xuan was still thinking about Xiang Peng, which made Xiang Peng think about it.

Xiang Peng thought about it after listening, and he quickly understood.Xiang Peng is a rough man, but he is not a fool. He understands things in his heart, so he has no choice about what happened now.
