Chapter 173 Planning
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and he smiled, "It's just right! Just let Shi Changshi Xin see the sincerity of my Jingzhou people."
Immediately, Xinpi was signaled to hide behind the screen in Kuai Qi's main seat.
Xinpi had long guessed that Cao Cao would send someone again, and he rushed to come because he had the idea of protecting food.
Now that Zhuge Liang is so open and lets him hide behind the screen to listen, the people of Jingzhou have expressed their feelings thoroughly.
Xinpi was very satisfied. It seemed that the people of Jingzhou were devoted to it this time.
Seeing that Xin Pizang was fine, Kuai Qi quickly ordered the manager, "Come in quickly and ask the general of the Central Army to come in."
Cheng Yu was originally a civil servant and served as a small magistrate of Shouzhang County.
Because he performed extremely well in the rebellion of famous scholars in Yanzhou, he began to emerge from then on.
With the help of Cheng Yu, Cao Cao finally withstood the pressure of Lu Bu and the rebellious tyrants in Yanzhou, leaving him with some fire of turning the tables.
With his military talents, Cao Cao couldn't wait to appoint Cheng Yu as "General of the Eastern Central Army, the Prefect of Jiyin, and the governor of Yanzhou as soon as he established the imperial court in Xu County."
With this pitiful territory under Cao Cao alone, Cheng Yu's power occupies most of Cheng Yu's sphere of authority.
It can be seen that on Cao Cao's side, Cheng Yu has strong strength and status.
Hearing Kuai Qi's invitation, the inn manager hurried to report back to Cheng Yu. Not long after, Cheng Yu came in.
As soon as Cheng Yu entered the door, everyone was a little nervous.
Although Kuai Qi, Pang Ji, Zhuge Liang and others are all from other places, they have heard of Cheng Yu's reputation.
Cheng Yu is a tough person and is a very difficult character to mess with.
It is said that even his lord Cao Mengde can't walk for a few rounds under him.
——"Cheng Yu's courage is too Ben, and he is thriving."
They directly compared Cheng Yu to the warriors Meng Ben and Xia Yu during the Warring States Period!
This kind of treatment is the same as Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
As soon as Cheng Yu came in, his sharp eyes glanced around, as if he was looking for someone.
Kuai Qi was shocked and then woke up.
After all, this place is the territory of Cao Cao's army. They naturally knew what happened.
I'm afraid that when Cheng Yu came, the spy here would tell him about Xin Pi's here.
I am afraid that I will backfire on my own.
Kuai Qi thought, and looked at Pang Ji next to him.
Pang Ji was obviously a little panicked too.
The two looked at Zhuge Liang again, and saw Zhuge Liang pursing his slender lips and a smile on his face as he looked at the prey.
Both Kuai Qi and Pang Ji have settled down.
Kuai Qi quickly stood up to welcome Cheng Yu, "I didn't expect that General Dongzhonglang came to welcome him, so I was really in a position to welcome him."
Cheng Yu came in a fierce manner and could not find Xin Pi in the room. His eyes narrowed and he saw the screen behind Kuai Qi.
He couldn't help but sneer slightly.
Then he bowed and said a few polite words to Kuai Qi, "Everyone comes to Jingzhou, I always have to do my best to be a landlord."
As he said that, he strode forward without hesitation and sat on the mat where Xinpi was sitting.
Kuai Qi naturally has the cultivation of aristocratic families, and just laughed at Cheng Yu's rude behavior.
After Cheng Yu sat down, he looked at the tea in front of him, looked at Kuai Qi with a smile and said, "What a great thing Kuai Biejia did here!"
Kuai Qi was frightened by Cheng Yu and didn't know how to interface.
He is an honest and serious person, and he is not as good as Zhuge Liang's lies.
Kuai Qi was silent, and even Xin Pi, who was hiding behind the screen, held her palms in sweat.
He and Cheng Yu have also dealt with each other on weekdays, and of course they know how difficult this person is.
Now the two of them are just sitting across a screen, which makes Xinpi secretly regretful.
I really shouldn't have been hiding here by the instigation of the people of Jingzhou. I could have used Yuan Benchu's power to confront this person, but now my behavior is almost vulgar.
It's ridiculous to come out now.
Xinpi could only comfort himself secretly, at least in this way, he could see what Jingzhou people were about to the court.
Seeing that Kuai Qi did not answer, Zhuge Liang said leisurely, "There is no big deal. It's just that Xu Du's city gate is hard to enter. We far away people can only find another way out."
Cheng Yu's cold eyes immediately fell on Zhuge Liang.
Cheng Yu stared at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Who are you? I talk to Kuai, so how can you interrupt me?"
This person is really young, and he is neither forward nor backward in the seat. He looks like an irrelevant person, but he dares to answer for Kuai Qi.
Cheng Yu seemed inhumane, but he was clearly tying the relationship between the Jingzhou envoys.
Zhuge Liang smiled, "Of course, my name was sent to the court. The General of the Dongzhonglang refused to accept the documents from us Jingzhou people, that is, he refused to become my lonely friend. Why should I tell you my name?"
Cheng Yu's eyes froze.
He said expressionlessly, "Okay."
But he thought silently in his heart that Liu Biao has always been acting strange since the Battle of Wancheng. This time, not only did he submit a document that was almost declared war with great enthusiasm, but he even sent envoys so strange.
Cheng Yu simply ignored the matter and continued to ask, "I heard that you are very close to Yuan Benchu's people. Isn't that ridiculous? Although Liu Jingsheng has a pair of wise eyes, he is afraid that he will see the scenery in the distance but cannot see the misfortune that is already close to his eyelashes."
Cheng Yu's words were aggressive.
Kuai Qi was a gentleman in Duanfang, but he couldn't stand it. "Oh? General of the Eastern Central Army, what does this mean? What is the disaster of eyelashes?"
Kuai Qi's words were a little angry.
This made Cheng Yu, who has always been bold, feel a little difficult to answer.
He was determined to threaten the people of Jingzhou, but the current situation was a bit nervous. Once the temperature was not well controlled, it would really lead to war.
Cheng Yu didn't say much, and said directly, "I heard that Xin Changshi had asked you before, but I don't know what you said to Xin Changshi?"
These questions were straightforward, making Xinpi unable to sit still behind the screen.
Kuai Qi, Pang Ji, Huang She and others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Then Zhuge Liang said again, "I didn't say anything special. Xin Changshi said that Yuan Benchu was determined to support the court, but he always hated that Yecheng was too far away from Xu County. Therefore, I gave Xin Changshi an idea."
Cheng Yu's face immediately changed drastically. He stared at Zhuge Liang fiercely, "What did you say?"
Xin Pi was also a little strange behind the screen, but what Zhuge Liang said really hit his mind.
Now that Cao Cao has mastered the emperor, it is definitely not a good thing for Yuan Shao’s power!
If we can try to balance Cao Cao's advantage, it will be a huge benefit for Yuan Shaojun.
Xinpi listened with breath and thought about how Zhuge Liang would answer.
