Jingzhou mission, residence.
When Pang Degong and Liu Xiu returned, they immediately invited wenpin to their study.
Wen pin asked: "Pang Gong, today I wish the emperor's birthday. What's the situation?"
With a strong smile on his face, Pang Degong said: "the effect of the birthday is very good. Xiuer presents tai'a sword as a gift and is appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang County by the emperor. Although Yuzhang county is under Sun Quan's rule, in name, Yuzhang county belongs to Jingzhou. I'm afraid Zhou Mu will agree with that. "
"Tai a Jian? When did master Xiu get it? "
Wen pin was surprised at the speech.
Tai'a sword was the sword of Ying Zheng, the first emperor. It's incredible that Liu Xiu got tai'a sword.
Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it's luck to get Tai a Jian. Xiao AI needs a sword. I took him to buy a sword, and then I met him. "
After Liu Xiu explained the detailed process, wenpin was even more amazing.
Pound said justly: "when I left the palace, I asked Zhang Dan. He and Zhou Tai would go to Sikong mansion early tomorrow morning to say goodbye to Cao Cao. If we want to act, we must go ahead. So, general Zhongye, you immediately ask people to pack up and get ready to leave. Xiuer and I are going to the Sikong mansion to say goodbye. "
"No!"
Wenpin got the order and agreed immediately.
Wenpin is also worried about protecting Pang Degong and Liu Xiu this time.
After all, it's going deep into Cao Cao's hinterland.
Now that he is about to leave, Wen pin is relieved that as long as he returns smoothly, his mission to Xu county will be successfully completed.
Pang Degong and Liu Xiu left the mansion and took a carriage to Sikong mansion.
When they arrived at Sikong's mansion, they handed in the invitation. Under the guidance of the attendants, they came to the hall to wait.
Soon, Cao Cao came to the hall.
Seeing Pang Degong and Liu Xiu, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Pang Gong and Xiao Liu have nothing to do but go to the three treasures hall. If they come to find our official, they must have something to do. Sit down and say."
"Thank you, Mr. Sikong!"
Pang Degong and Liu xiudao thank you, and then sit down.
Cao Cao said, "Pang Gong, what's the matter?"
Pound said justly: "I'm here to say goodbye to Sikong. The mission of this trip has been completed. Therefore, I plan to leave for Xiangyang today. "
Cao Cao said, "how can Pang Gong be in such a hurry? Today he just celebrated the emperor's birthday. This has just ended. Are you going to leave soon?"
Pound said: "I've been in Xu county for some time. Jingzhou still has some important things to do. Besides, Xiuer needs to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. He also has something to do. So I decided to leave today. "
Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and said: "Pang Gong, how about this? I'll hold a banquet in Sikong mansion tonight to practice for you. How about leaving early tomorrow morning? "
Mr. pound shook his head and said, "I'm very grateful for Sikong's kindness. However, I really have something to do. I need to go back to Xiangyang as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, shortly after arriving in Xu county, Liu Jingzhou sent a letter to ask about the progress of celebrating the emperor's birthday. "
Liu Xiu said: "this time I come to Xu county, thank Sikong for his hospitality. If there is a future, drink with Sikong again. "
After hearing this, Cao Cao knew that Pang Degong and Liu Xiu had made up their minds.
Cao Cao did not want to stop him. He said, "well, since Pang Gong and Mr. Liu have decided, there is a long way to go. In the future, I will get drunk with Pang Gong and Mr. Liu."
"Thank you for your understanding," said pound
Immediately, pound took out all kinds of customs clearance documents and asked Cao Cao to use his seal. After all the documents were stamped with Cao Cao's seal, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu left Sikong mansion.
Cao Cao sat in the hall, suddenly lost.
He was very appreciative of Liu Xiu.
Now Liu Xiu left Xu county, Cao Cao's heart, inevitably some lost. But in a flash, Cao Cao's heart was full of fighting spirit, and he began to think about winning Jingzhou, so as to lay the foundation for his future acceptance of Liu Xiu.
Back at the mansion, Lord pound ordered his departure.
Wenpin led the army escort, a team of people, the mighty left Xu county.
After leaving Xu county, the party began to speed up.
In the afternoon of that day, pound and his party had gone out of Xu county. The way back, and the way to come, have changed to a certain extent. When I came to Yingchuan County, I went through Yangzhai county and Yingyin county to Xu county, which is located in the west of Xu county.
This time back, straight to Wuyang County, southwest of Xu county.
After Wuyang County, you can enter Ye County of Nanyang County in Jingzhou, and then go south to return to Xiangyang.
……
Early in the morning on August 4.
Zhang Zhen personally went to Sikong mansion and said goodbye to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao met Zhang, he still insisted on Zhang's stay. He hoped Zhang would stay a little longer. However, Zhang's intention to go had been decided, and Cao Cao did not want him to stay any longer. He personally sent Zhang to leave.
Seeing Zhang Zhen leave, Cao Cao's eyes showed a trace of coldness.Zhang Dan was under his eyes, and Cao Cao was in his heart. To be sure, Cao Cao respected Zhang, but that was his personal stand.
Zhang Dan stood in the position of Jiangdong and Cao Cao in the position of the imperial court.
In this way, Cao Cao could not let Zhang go easily.
"Somebody
Cao Cao sat upright in the hall and ordered.
A servant came in and stood in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao ordered: "inform Xun Yu and ask him to pass orders along the way. Wherever Jiangdong mission passes, the return journey back to Jiangdong should be appropriately postponed, but no killing or conflict is allowed."
"No!"
When the soldier got the order, he turned down to inform Xun Yu of the arrangement.
Cao Cao's mouth, a smile.
Pang Degong and Liu Xiu return to Xiangyang one step earlier, which means that Liu Biao can arrange in advance when he knows Liu Xiu's appointment as the prefect of Yuzhang county. When Sun Quan knows, he will fall behind one step.
After he left Sikong mansion and returned to his residence, he ordered him to leave.
They left Xu county and headed south.
Yuzhou and Yangzhou border on each other. As long as they go all the way south, after leaving Yingchuan County of Yuzhou, they will enter Yangzhou, and then they can return to Jiangdong. The team left the territory of Xu county and soon went out of Yingchuan county and entered the territory of Runan County.
Runan County, after the war, the territory of the people in decline.
Even if Cao Cao reduced taxes, encouraged farming, and encouraged people to have children, Runan County was still a bit desolate. Even, many mountain bandits, who have become bandits, plunder everywhere from time to time.
As a result, Runan County is the most chaotic County in Yuzhou.
After entering Yinqiang County of Runan County, Zhou Tai cheered up
he rode on his horse, looked around his soldiers, and ordered: "bandits are rampant in Runan County, all cheer up and be careful."
All of the more than 100 elite soldiers under his command are cautious. These 100 elite soldiers are veteran soldiers in the army, and they are all experienced. Without Zhou Tai's warning, they are all on guard.
