Chapter 360: You Have to Rely on General Le

In Cao Pi's eyes, the big villain, the traitor of the Cao family, and one of the biggest dangerous elements, Le Jin is now quite free and easy.

During these days in Xiangyang, Le Jin was deeply loved by the people. He walked, climbed mountains, sent his feelings to the mountains and rivers and a group of scholars chanted poems and discussed the Tao every day.

He has been fascinated by alchemy these days. The only thing that makes him a little unhappy is that his right-hand man, Ma Liang, has never let him take the Five Stones, otherwise he would have been lying poems with those famous scholars in the Qingliu River, and even he would have been too lazy to go to his Jingzhou Palace.

Just when he thought such a day would last for a long time, Cao Pi sent a very heavyweight envoy to visit Le Jin.

"The envoy, the general of the Hu Ben, and the minister Huan Jie, asked for a visit."

"Um." Le Jin frowned and said unhappily, "Why did Huanjie come? Who asked him to come? Could he meet him just if he wants to? Let him get out!"

Huan Jie is from Changsha and is considered a famous scholar in Jingzhou.

He was already a famous genius many years ago. He once took the risk of seeing Liu Biao ask for Sun Jian's body to be returned. Later, Liu Biao defeated Zhang Xian and wanted to marry Mrs. Cai's little sister to him. As a result, Huan Jie not only wanted Xiao Cai, but also directly resigned from his post as an illness. This made Cai Mao so angry that he was stunned.

Now Le Jin is the "commander" of the Jingzhou clan and calls himself the protector of the Jingzhou clan. When it comes to Huan Jie, he is really angry and must not give Huan Jie a good face.

It is a good thing that Le Jin feels so immersive now, Ma Liang said with a smile:

"The envoy is a person who does great things, how can he be as knowledgeable as him? Although Huan Boxu does not know the general, he is still a little wise. He is still a confidant of the King of Wei. You must not be so kind to him for the sake of my Jingzhou people, so as not to delay the general's future."

"Bah!" Le Jin sneered and simply shouted loudly, "Cao Pi is nothing! I am in charge of Jingzhou. The face of the people of Jingzhou is my Le Jin's face. Cao Pi had to obediently call General Le when he saw me. Now, would he give me a look?

Humph, let him in and I see what he is going to say!”

Huan Jie didn't hear anything else outside the mansion clearly, but he heard "Cao Pi is nothing", and his heart immediately sank.

Le Jin is a very special existence among Cao's army.

He followed Cao Cao for most of his life to fight south and north and south and made many military achievements. He is known for his impetuous temperament and good fighting. He is a typical general. No one would think that he could accomplish anything too big, but just a sharp steel knife.

But unexpectedly, during the period when Le Jin was stationed in Xiangyang, he had inexplicably had a deep friendship with the aristocratic tribes in Xiangyang. Now this person is known for the aristocratic tribes of Jingzhou. He has a large army across the Han River and does not take Cao Pi seriously at all.

When Cao Pi called King of Wei, Le Jin did not express his congratulations. His posture had already caused rebellion, but he did not raise the flag of rebellion. In addition, the loss of the expedition to Jingzhou was too great, and Cao's army could not even deal with Huo Jun, so naturally he did not dare to cause trouble for Le Jin again.

So Le Jin maintained such a transcendent position. Under the bragging of everyone, he became more and more arrogant and arrogant. Now he dared to say that Cao Pi is nothing - you are not afraid that you will hear it, come and beat me if you have the ability!

Huan Jie knew very well about the Jingzhou clans. How could these people please Le Jin? It was because they were attracted by Le Jin's identity to achieve a delicate balance with Cao Pi.

It’s a pity that Le Jin’s martial artist’s temper is hard to change. He was easily held back by these people. Now he is still in a dilemma with him. It’s really ridiculous.

After waiting for a long time, Ma Liang, wearing a light green brocade robe, greeted Huanjie and said gently:

"The general was in a bad mood just now and was already fine. But when Boxu saw him, he still had to say a little... Haha, I don't have to say much."

As a native of Changsha, Huan Jie knew very well what Ma Liang wanted to express. He nodded silently, his eyes full of determination.

Cao Pi was very good to Huan Jie, the kind who was heart-wrenching. Huan Jie was loyal and could repay anything like this kind of kindness. He was not afraid of Ma Liang's threat and walked slowly into the mansion.

In the past, Le Jin's general's mansion was very simple and full of killing spirit.

But now it is different. Le Jin, who is determined to become a famous scholar, set up his general's mansion in a very elegant and quaint place. The spacious courtyard is uniquely crafted by Ksitigarbha mountains and waters, and there are also a few rare white deer eating grass leisurely. In this early winter, this place is quite lively.

Ma Liang led Huan Jie into the main hall of Le Jin's General's Mansion. Le Jin, wearing a Taoist robe, lying on the warm couch, with his hair loose, and supported his head with his right hand, staring at Huan Jie with his fierce eyes.

"Wen Qian..."

"If you have any farts, please let it go!" Le Jin said lazily without hesitation.

Huan Jie had no choice but to sigh:

"I came to pass the imperial edict of the King of Wei, and appointed the General as the General of the East, the Marquis of Xinye County, and the 8,000 households in the town. The general's sons in Xudu will soon come back to meet the General."

"oh?"

This surprised Le Jin a little. He sat up slowly and sneered:

"What does Cao Pi want me to do?"

What is the concept of 8,000 households in the fief?

Xun Yu, the leader of Cao Cao's civil officials, reached 2,000 households at the peak, and Xiahou Dun and Gao'an Township 2,500 households. The two people combined only 4,500 households, barely more than half of Le Jin's.

Even Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, who was Cao Cao's own son, had only five thousand households each. Cao Pi, who had always been known for his stinginess, actually gave Lejin eight thousand households in one breath...

This was obviously an attempt, and he also sent back all Le Jin's sons who were conventional in the rear, so that Le Jin could completely have no worries.

If you show your kindness for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief. Le Jin knew that Cao Pi must have something that cannot be solved and asked him to take action.

Sure enough, Huan Jie sighed:

"Sun Quan betrayed his faith and actually led his army to the north to Hefei again.

Our army fought westward, but Luoyang's central army had little food. Hefei was afraid that it would be difficult to rescue him at any time. The King of Wei asked Le Zheng to send troops to attack Xiakou immediately to help the King of Wei untied the siege of Hefei!"

“Um…”

Le Jin's information is extremely closed now. He can only know what Ma Liang wants him to know. Of course, he has never heard of Sun Quan that he has gathered another 100,000 troops to head north.

A hundred thousand army...

It seems that Hefei cannot stop it anymore, and Cao Pi's strategy is right. It is too late to mobilize anyone at this time. It is better to use Luoyang Central Army to defend the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and then use a large army to attack Xiakou and force Sun Quan to withdraw his troops. Luoyang Central Army can naturally recover the lost territory calmly.

Le Jin was so excited that he heard it.

That is to say...

That is to say...

Le Jin's soldiers settled in Jingzhou for many years, and had their own families and land, and became sons-in-laws in Jingzhou. Under the instigation of the Jingzhou clans, they were full of hostility and hatred towards their former superiors.

What kind of life did you live before?

What day is it now?

Isn’t it because Cao Cao doesn’t bully them?

Now Jingzhou is so powerful that it is more than enough to stick to one side.

If Cao Pi encountered trouble, it would not have happened to launch a Northern Expedition and went directly from Wancheng to the north. The Central Plains would have been in chaos. At that time, they would work with Sun Quan to do an unprecedented major event.

He looked at Ma Liang and saw that Ma Liang was also happy.

Le Jin has now been completely controlled by him. His soldiers, servants, maids, friends around him, and famous scholars are all Ma Liang's people. If he wants to kill Le Jin, it is easy to get rid of his hands. If he mobilizes the army to fight the northern expedition and recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop... What a credit is this? Ma Liang will definitely be the savior of the Han Dynasty in the future and one of the best meritorious officials!

"I will discuss this with you." Le Jin said dryly, waved his hand to let Huan Jie get out.

Huan Jie didn't want to leave just now, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"General, I also heard of one thing."

"put."

"Sun Quan has already rumored in the army that General Yun is Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu..."

"Don't you go shit!" Le Jin slapped his thigh suddenly, "Isn't anyone said such things before? They are all nonsense made up by Zhang Yun. Hasn't it been confirmed before? What else do the bastard Sun Quan want to do?"

Huan Jie nodded and said:

"The King of Wei also knew that this was Sun Quan's nonsense, but there had been such rumors many times before, and Sun Quan was also confident. There were many people in the court who asked the King of Wei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Everyone knows that the general and Yun Tanzhi are in love with each other, and Yun Tanzhi even calls himself a disciple of the general. If the general can command troops to fight eastward and eliminate Sun Quan, no one in the world will doubt it. If so... hey, you also know that Xiahou Yuan let his nature be like a fire, and if he cut off Yun Tanzhi's military rations, it would be unbeautiful."

Huan Jie had long suspected that Yunshan might be Guan Ping, but the so-called distant relationship was that Yunshan was already Cao Pi's sister-in-law and the towering pillar of the Cao family. Although Huan Jie and Cao Pi had a good relationship, they might not end up well.

He believed that Le Jin must have been bewitched by the Jingzhou clan. If he heard that there was a problem in the Central Plains, he might have directly rebeled. At that time, the Central Plains were shocked and they were afraid that they would be out of control. The best way was to threaten him a little, and that Yunshan had been exposed and was now held in his hands by Xiahou Dun of Guanzhong.

If Le Jin refused to attack Xiakou, Xiahou Dun of Guanzhong immediately cut off the supply of military rations to Yunshan and launched all the Guanzhong army to attack Yunshan.

As for whether Le Jin will take care of Yunshan’s life...
