1032 Is it necessary to lie to you?
Since Wu Qiuxiu arrived in Bingzhou, he had basically met cold faces. When he was in Yanmen, not only Du Yu had a dark face, but he looked like he was ignoring him, but even ordinary soldiers did not give them a good look. They looked like they had the intention of eating them alive.
If someone dared to give Wu Qiu Xiu such a cold face in Youzhou, he would basically be seeking death. But when he arrived in Bingzhou, Wu Qiu Xiu had to restrain his irritable temper. In Youzhou, he was indeed one person and more than ten thousand people, but at this moment in Bingzhou, no one took him seriously. Even because of hostility, the people of Bingzhou saw them as if they had met enemies.
When he was at Yanmen Pass, the prefect of Yanmen, Le Chi was slightly better to him. After all, in terms of family background, the Le family and the Wuqiu family were closer. For the sake of his old friend, Le Chi still did not treat him badly.
However, when he arrived in Jinyang, Wuqiu Xiu could not even find an acquaintance. Wang Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, showed his face and met Wuqiu Xiu once when he first entered Jinyang. However, after he arrived at the inn, no one was concerned about it anymore. Wuqiu Xiu seemed to be in endless waiting again.
However, this time he did not wait too long. On the third day after he arrived in Jinyang, Wuqiu Xiu met Huan Fan.
However, Huan Fan's attitude was like Du Yu, very indifferent, neither lukewarm nor hot, neither salty nor indifferent. Wu Qiu Xiu could even glimpse a stern look from Huan Fan's gaze, and Wu Qiu Xiu's heart suddenly came to an awkward feeling.
Before coming to Bingzhou, Wu Qiuxiu did some homework. He knew very well that Huan Fan could be regarded as the second-ranked figure of Bingzhou Group, second only to Cao Liang. Moreover, Huan Fan is famous for his strange temper and arrogant. It is estimated that he is the most difficult thing to deal with in Bingzhou. Cao Liang did not show up, but sent Huan Fan to negotiate with him, which invisibly increased the difficulty of negotiation.
Sure enough, as soon as Huan Fan sat down, he said coldly: "Youzhou and Bingzhou are at the time when the troops crossed. You are not in the army to prepare for war, and you ran to Jinyang a hundred miles away. What is this intention?"
Huan Fan's words were quite a bit of accusation. The battle was initiated by the Youzhou Army. Now it is coming over to negotiate peace, isn't that easy?
Wu Qiuxiu smiled and said, "Mr. Huan, a misunderstanding. This battle was a huge misunderstanding. My brother apologized for this and ordered him to come here specifically to apologize to General Cao in person. If you offend me, please ask General Manager Hai Han."
Huan Fan sneered and said, "Misunderstanding? You are so light. You can end everything with just one misunderstanding? Could it be that the lives of thousands of soldiers in Bingzhou have been ruined in vain? Go back and tell Wuqiu Zhonggong that we will accompany you in Bingzhou to the end in this battle. Don't think that you have withdrawn your troops. Even if this matter is over, we will definitely come to Youzhou in the future and seek justice. You should go back and prepare. It is useless to stay here."
Huan Fan's words were clearly intimidating. In fact, if the Bingzhou army was really ready to attack Youzhou, how could they tell the other party so bluntly that if the other party was prepared, Huan Fan would definitely comfort him with kind words and catch him off guard. This is in line with the real way of using troops.
However, it was obvious that Huan Fan's intimidation had worked. Wu Qiuxiu's face turned pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead rolled down. He quickly wiped it with his hands and said hurriedly: "What do you mean by Military Commander Huan? The person Sima Yi is most afraid of in his life is Governor Cao and his brother. If Bingzhou and Youzhou fight, the person who is most happy is Sima Yi. This is what makes the relatives feel sad and the enemy happy. Please think twice before you act!"
Huan Fan laughed and said, "Sima Yi? You probably don't know the news of Sima Yi's death? Now that Sima Yi is dead, my grand governor is invincible in the world. It is the time when the world is unified and the world is pacified. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. If Qiu Zhonggong is willing to surrender, it would be fine. Otherwise, Youzhou will be a powder."
"What, Sima Yi is dead? Take this matter seriously?" Wu Qiu Xiuteng stood up, his face full of shock. The news surprised him so much that he only listened to Huan Fan's first half of the words and ignored them directly.
When Wu Qiu Xiu left the Youzhou army and went to Bingzhou, the news of Sima Yi's death had not yet reached Youzhou, so Wu Qiu Xiu didn't know that Sima Yi was dead at all. After arriving in Bingzhou, he spent most of his time in the inn. Except for the three fixed meals a day and someone was given a delivery, Wu Qiu Xiu had almost no chance of contacting outsiders.
Of course, contact is useless. Such news is not something that ordinary people can know, and those who know this news will not tell him specifically for no reason. If Huan Fan had not said it at this moment, Wu Qiuxiu would probably have to wait until she returned to Youzhou if she wanted to know this amazing news.
Sima Yi is a giant that is powerful in the world and is also an existence that is enough to shock the world. It is precisely because of his fear of Sima Yi that Wuqiu Jian is undecided and hesitant. It can be said that Sima Yi is alive and has greatly influenced the situation in the world.
If what Huan Fan said is true, then the world's pattern will inevitably fluctuate and even be reshuffled. For Youzhou, it will have a huge impact. If the person Wuqiu Jian is most afraid of is gone, then he can do anything fearlessly.
Huan Fan sneered, "Is there any need to lie to you? The news of Sima Yi's death has not spread yet, but I believe that it will not take long for everyone in the world to know. Once Sima Yi dies, his son Sima Shi will be left with him. If you are still willing to be the minion of the Sima family in Youzhou, you will be enemies with the people of the world. What will happen? Let's consider it yourself!"
Wu Qiu Xiu hurriedly said, "Mr. Huan misunderstood. His brother never had the idea of acting as Sima Yi's claw. He had offended Guizhou before, but it was because of helplessness. His brother sent someone to come here this time, hoping that Bingzhou and Youzhou could relieve their past grudges, and to stop their swords and fight against the Sima family. To show his sincerity, his brother was willing to ced the two cities of Pingshulingqiu, thinking that he would apologize."
The cedes of the two cities of Pingshu Lingqiu were originally the result of discussion between Wuqiu Xiu and Wuqiu Jian before leaving. After all, when he was on a mission to Bingzhou, he had to take out some gifts that he could take out. Ordinary gold, silver, wealth, jewelry and jade might not be able to catch Cao Liang's eyes at all, but the city and territory could always touch his heart, right?
