"Xu Du?" Liu Mang and Xu Shu were both surprised. Xu Du was Cao Cao, why would he send an envoy?
"Milord, this person who came is not a good person." Xu Shu said to Liu Mang. Although there was no war between Yangzhou and Xu Du, sooner or later one of them would fall. Xu Shu said to Liu Mang. Although there was no war between Yangzhou and Xu Du, sooner or later one of them would fall.
"Who cares if he is a good person or not. Since this person is already here, you can't just push him out of the door." Liu Mang said to Xu Shu with a smile. Liu Mang admired Cao Cao because this person was an ambitious and ruthless person. If it wasn't for the fact that there were many talented people in this era, or that this chaotic era was too slow, and that Cao Cao's lifespan had reached its end, then there would be no one in this world who could be his opponent. If Cao Cao had the lifespan of Sun Quan, then history would have been rewritten.
It could even be said that since the Qin and Han dynasties, another huge dynasty was going to intimidate the East.
Liu Mang didn't have much hatred towards Cao Cao because he didn't have much contact with Cao Cao. The only time they talked face to face was when Kaiyang City was besieged, and Liu Mang inadvertently offended Cao Cao because of watching too many jokes.
After that, both Yangzhou and Xu Du had their own victories and defeats. Cao Cao was caught in the Battle of Guandu. It was Liu Mang's letter that allowed him to destroy Yuan Shao in Guandu and burn the provisions of Yuan Shao's 300,000 soldiers. Only then was he able to turn defeat into victory.
When Liu Mang's Yangzhou was besieged by Yuzhou's Liu Bei and Wancheng's Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao had also sent 100,000 emergency provisions in return. Both of them knew that this was a mutual benefit. Liu Mang sent a letter to Cao Cao because he was afraid that Cao Cao wouldn't be able to withstand Yuan Shao. History had changed. Once Cao Cao lost, then there would be no one in the world who could withstand Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao sent 100,000 provisions to Liu Mang because he was afraid that Liu Bei, this shit stirrer, would grow stronger. When Liu Bei only had tens of thousands of soldiers, it was already a headache for Cao Cao. Not to mention giving him another province, whether it was Lü Bu or Liu Bei, Cao Cao didn't want them to unify the Central Plains. Therefore, he gave the Yangzhou Army 100,000 emergency provisions.
Therefore, both sides owed each other. The most recent conflict between Yangzhou and Xu Du was when the Yangzhou Army attacked Yuzhou. Although they didn't manage to eliminate Liu Bei, the current Liu Bei was just struggling at death's door.
"Come, summon the envoy from Xu Du!" Liu Mang waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to bring Cao Cao's envoy into the main hall.
"Yes!" The guard at the side nodded and left. Soon, three unfamiliar faces walked in from outside the hall.
The person in front was wearing an official's robe. He had an arrogant expression on his face as he strode into the main hall. He looked as if he was the master of this place.
"Which one is Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang?! Quickly kneel down and welcome the Envoy! "The man shouted at the people in the main hall.
"Impudent!" Guan Hai's eyes immediately widened. Who was Liu Mang? He was the King Of Shu, the master of Yangzhou. How dare he ask Liu Mang to kneel? Wasn't he courting death? "Do you know who my Lord is?"
"What? Even if you are a King, seeing this Envoy is like seeing His Majesty. When His Majesty has decreed, how can a subject dare to stand? "The man said proudly." Could it be that the master of this place has a different meaning? " This was a good accusation. It was fine if you kneel down to receive the decree, but if you don't kneel down to receive the decree, then you have a different meaning and want to rebel.
It was true that when the Emperor of Han had decreed, as a subject, they had to kneel down to receive the decree. They even had to fast and bathe before receiving the decree. However, that was during the golden age of the Han. Now, it was a time of chaos. The Emperor of Han's decree couldn't even leave Xudu. He was just a puppet of Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Liu Mang were the same. They were all equal in this world. Now, the subordinate of a puppet of Cao Cao wanted Liu Mang to kneel down. Wasn't this a joke?
Guan Hai was furious and wanted to step forward to take down this so-called Envoy. However, he was stopped by Liu Mang. If Guan Hai took down Cao Cao's messenger, then Liu Mang's tolerance would be too small. Moreover, if he took action, then Yangzhou would be unreasonable.
"Hmm? When did Cao Cao's messenger not become a eunuch? "Liu Mang was a little puzzled and asked Xu Shu who was beside him.
Xu Shu wanted to advise Liu Mang to not deal with Cao Cao's envoy. After all, everyone knew that Liu Mang was receiving him. If Liu Mang were to take down Cao Cao's envoy now, although the prestige of the Han Dynasty had already fallen to a certain extent, everyone would still abide by the rules. Moreover, Liu Mang had the imperial surname and was the King of Shu of the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty was to be humiliated, how much face would you have as the King of Shu? Therefore, Liu Mang would be smashing his own foot with a rock. He could endure it for now. However, when the envoy left, the road would not be peaceful and there would be two small thieves or some unruly people who would collide with the envoy's carriage.
However, Xu Shu saw a very indifferent Liu Mang and couldn't help but smile. This Lord has become more mature.
Liu Mang's words were also very good. This so-called Envoy came from Xu Du, and the current Lord of Xu Du was Cao Cao. Who was this eunuch? Only the Han Emperor and the Kings could use eunuchs. The others were considered overstepping their authority.
If this so-called Envoy admitted that he was here to deliver a message for Cao Cao, then he was only Cao Cao's subordinate. When Cao Cao saw Liu Mang, the King Of Shu, he also had to lower his head and respectfully call him Your Highness. After all, his title wasn't as high as Liu Mang's.
If this so-called Envoy said that he was here to represent the Han Emperor, then Liu Mang's words not only scolded him as a eunuch, but also sowed discord between the Han Emperor and Cao Cao. You were here to deliver a message for Cao Cao, but you said that you were the Han Emperor's subordinate. How could Cao Cao punish you when he returned?
"My Lord, Sikong Cao's subordinate is naturally a man. Only the Emperor can use eunuchs!" Xu Shu and Liu Mang put on a two-man show. "I don't know if this Envoy is Sikong Cao's subordinate or the Han Emperor's subordinate." Xu Shu cupped his fist and said to the man.
In reality, there weren't many eunuchs in Xu Du. Because of the chaos caused by the Ten Permanent Attendants, the Han Emperor wanted to take revenge, but he didn't have the ability. He didn't have the ability, but he had the energy. After all, he was still young, so he put his energy into dealing with the eunuchs. This group of eunuchs was naturally unlucky. Even the Envoy representing the Han Emperor was also a man.
"You!" This person wasn't a fool. He naturally understood the crux of the matter. He was clearly following Cao Cao's orders and was also working for Cao Cao. If he said that he was representing the Han Emperor, wouldn't that be betraying the Han Emperor? First, he came to pass Cao Cao's letter. Second, he wanted to show off the power of the King Of Shu.
"This Envoy is Sikong Cao's subordinate. I came to Yangzhou to announce Sikong Cao's decree!" This man said to Liu Mang and the others in a deep voice.
"Oh, so you are Cao Mengde's subordinate, not the Han Emperor's subordinate." Liu Mang nodded. This man was, of course, Cao Cao's subordinate. Now, the Emperor of Han still had a lot of achievements left. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Emperor of Han's days as the Emperor of Han were not long. Once he took the north, Cao Cao would be granted the title of King. After a few more years of fighting, the title of Emperor would not be difficult.
Originally, the Fuwan and Dong families were working for the Emperor of Han. However, in order to get Cao Cao's help to resist Liu Mang, Liu Bei sold out the Fu and Dong families. Fu Wan was killed and the Dong family was confiscated. With this as an example, who would dare to work for the Emperor of Han? Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu
"It doesn't matter if this Envoy is representing the Han Emperor or Sikong Cao. Sikong Cao is in charge of the central government, guarding the world for the Emperor. This Envoy also has the Emperor's decree. Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, are you not going to kneel down and receive the decree?"
"Oh, there is also the Emperor's decree. Then I, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, kneel …" Liu Mang was about to kneel down. The man beside him had a smug expression. Even if he was the King Of Shu, he still had to kneel down in front of this decree. Sikong Cao would definitely appreciate him. However, before the smile on his face could fully bloom, it suddenly froze.
Because in front of his eyes, an incomparably huge foot was flying towards him.
"Kneel, kneel down to you, Old Mu!" The owner of this foot was naturally our King Of Shu. "A mere dog of Cao Cao dares to make me, Liu Mang, kneel down to receive him. I think you are tired of living. Even Cao Cao has to respectfully greet me when he sees me. Who do you think you are? How dare you bark like a dog in my palace? Don't you know where you are?" Liu Mang's kicks were getting fiercer and fiercer. Liu Mang wanted to attack Jingzhou and wanted such a big cake. However, he couldn't get it. Before he could vent his anger, this bullsh * t Envoy came over.
"My Lord, well done, well done!" Guan Hai shouted from the side. It was rare that Zhou Cang didn't complain. That was because when he smiled, that foot followed.
"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, how dare you hit this Envoy. This Envoy will definitely report this to His Majesty. You have no respect for Great Han. You didn't kneel when you saw an Imperial Decree!" This Cao Cao's envoy was quite strong-willed. He was still shouting after being beaten by Liu Mang. He had a lot of energy.
"Hehe, I will let you know why you died." Liu Mang looked at this Cao Cao's envoy who was still struggling under his foot. "First, you are Cao Cao's subordinate, not Emperor Han's subordinate. Even Cao Cao has to be courteous when he sees me. A dog like you has to learn how to crawl. Second, hehe, you said you have an Imperial Decree?"
"Of course! It's fine if you don't accept the decree today, but you even hit this Envoy. You must be rebelling, rebelling! "
"Let's not talk about whether this Imperial Decree is fake. Even if it is real! Hmph, didn't anyone tell you before you came? This King didn't just confer the title of King Of Shu. There is also the title of Holy King. What is a Holy King? You don't kneel when you see the Emperor, and you don't greet the Imperial Decree. Do you understand why I hit you like this? "Liu Mang said as he kicked again.
