Five Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Absolutely

At this time, Sun Ce is actively preparing, training troops day and night, and it is estimated that he will be able to fight in a short time.

Zhang Yu started preparations several months ago.

At the same time, Yuan Shu has also been making preparations. Yuan Shu's preparations are very simple, collecting food everywhere and building weapons and equipment at the same time.

All three parties are preparing, and everyone knows that war may start at any time.

At this time, Cao Cao in Yanzhou was troubled.

He had already retreated from Qingzhou. This time, he had lost a lot of money by fighting Qingzhou. He was cheated by Zhang Yu. He didn't get the benefits, but lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

At this time, he still had to face Yuan Shao's oppression, and Yuan Shao really focused his attention on him.

At this time, Cao Cao summoned a group of civil servants to discuss matters. The discussion was not about how to fight back against Yuan Shao, but about matters related to Zhang Yu.

"Liu Biao wants His Majesty to declare Zhang Yu a rebel, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu came out and said, "My lord, since Liu Biao played, it proves that he has His Majesty in his heart, and His Majesty should respond no matter what."

Cheng Yu responded to the imperial edict in order to maintain the emperor's authority, but he didn't care much about the content of the imperial edict.

At this time Man Pang came out and said: "Master, this Zhang Yu is definitely a big enemy in the future, and he should be suppressed as soon as possible."

Xun You also felt that Zhang Yu should not be underestimated, so he came out and said: "My lord, Zhang Yu must be suppressed, but it cannot be like Liu Biao said. If Zhang Yu does not obey, it will have no practical effect and will affect your majesty's prestige. You can make a decree." Rebuke Zhang Yu and do nothing else."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable. Now the effect of His Majesty's imperial decree is greatly weakened, but it still exists in principle. It's just that Zhang Yu's reputation is too bad, and it won't have much impact on him. , giving him the imperial decree, it can add trouble to him."

After discussing, Cao Cao finally decided: "Decree to reprimand Zhang Yu and ask him to apologize to Liu Biao. Although this is not stated explicitly, it also indirectly shows that he is the one who broke into Xiangyang City."

Cao Cao couldn't swallow the anger of being cheated by Zhang Yu, and he couldn't retaliate for a while. It happened that he had Liu Xie in his hand, and Liu Biao went to play again to declare Zhang Yu a rebel.

So Cao Cao asked Liu Xie to issue an imperial decree,

Add trouble to Zhang Yu.

When Zhang Yu arrived in Jiangdong for two days, the imperial decree also arrived.

"Hmph, bullshit, Cao Cao is pulling sideways and deliberately obstructing me." Zhang Yu said, throwing the imperial decree in his hand aside.

Zhang Zhao and Guo Jia also arrived in Danyang County, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Zhang Zhao said: "My lord, this Cao Cao has really started to coerce the emperor to order the princes. Whether we obey the order or not obey the order this time will not be of any benefit."

If you don't obey the order, of course it is disadvantageous in the righteousness. If you obey the order and admit that you were the one who entered Xiangyang City, it will also be disadvantageous in the righteousness.

"Dayi? It is very important to others, because it will lose the hearts of the people, and it will make many people who are still loyal to the big man alienated, but this situation does not exist in me. Many talents under our rule are cultivated by ourselves, not by him. They will have enough food and clothing and will not lose the hearts of the people.”

"In that case, let's make good use of this imperial decree."

Zhang Yu paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he stopped and said, "Immediately draw up a document to apologize to Liu Biao. It must be clearly stated that I went to Xiangyang City, forced Kuai Yue to death, and kindly compensated 30,000 yuan."

"Pfft~"

Guo Jia burst out laughing on the spot after listening.

"My lord, once you write this letter of apology, Liu Biao will not die of anger."

Zhang Yu also laughed, he did it on purpose, just to slap his face.

Apologize, okay, I will apologize, and I will generously admit that I did it.

He has entered Xiangyang City, even if he can come and go freely in Xiangyang City, what can you Liu Biao do.

The most important thing is that I apologize to you, or "apologize by order".

Yes, an apology is ordered, that is, after the apology, there are no charges.

Now that His Majesty has spoken, it will be fine after the apology.

In the future, Liu Biao will not be able to use this matter to talk about Zhang Yu.

Zhang Zhao also felt that Zhang Yu was shameless, and Zhang Yu explained to the whole world like asking for credit for going to the city to kill people.

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't know if Liu Biao will die of anger, but Cao Cao must be very depressed. He came here to disgust the lord, but in the end he made him disgusted."

"Haha, there are more angry things waiting for them." Zhang Yu said proudly: "I did the case in Xiangyang City, and now His Majesty has already sentenced him. We will admit that he intercepted and killed me outside Xiangyang City." According to Liu Biao, it was done for bandits."

Zhang Yu sold a pass, pretended for a while and said: "There are bandits outside Xiangyang City, so there must be bandits on both sides of the Yangtze River. As a patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, it is obligatory to get rid of these bandits. Immediately." Announce it to the world, saying that I will raise a million troops to sweep away the bandits on both sides of the Yangtze River."

Qi Liu Biao was given to Zhang Yu by Cao Cao, and the reason for using it to exterminate bandits was decided by Zhang Yu long ago.

Zhang Yu had already made up his mind when he decided to take Kuai Yue's life.

He didn't know how to restrict Sun Ce at the time, but he thought of a way when Kuai Yue intercepted him.

Threatening to send millions of troops to sweep across the banks of the Yangtze River is only the first step, first to frighten others.

"Wonderful." After hearing this, Guo Jia clapped his hands and said, "Master, in this way we can borrow from Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu disagrees, we have a good reason to attack him. If he agrees, we can take the opportunity to attack him. "

Zhang Yu nodded, his goal was not Liu Biao, it was far away, even if he laid down a territory, it would be useless, otherwise he would not have sold Dongting Lake.

A few days later, Zhang Yu's apology gradually spread. He announced it to the whole world, and dozens of messengers sent information to all directions.

"Um, did Zhang Yu apologize?"

"This letter of apology is really domineering. He entered Xiangyang City and forced Kuai's family to death. When he came out temporarily, he felt that it was time for retribution, so he released 30,000 yuan."

"Haha, Zhang Yu's trick is perfect, now in the whole world who doesn't know what's going on with the 30,000 yuan."

"That's right, it is estimated that Liu Biao will definitely feel worse than eating shit when he sees the 30,000 yuan."

"Uh, Zhang Yu admitted that he entered Xiangyang City. Isn't this a matter of rebellion? How can he write a letter of apology and be fine?"

"Zhang Yu admitted it, actually admitted it."

A lot of sensible people realized that Zhang Yu's move was too great. He admitted it decisively, generously, and openly.

And I was afraid that others would not know, so I admitted it to the whole world.

If it was put at other times, leading troops into the government of a state, and forcing a high official to death, it would be a serious crime of rebellion and killing the nine clans.

But now, Zhang Yu admitted it, and instead admitted it to the whole world as if he had done something great. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
