Sun Ce did not expect that he had taken such a big move as soon as he defected to Liu Zhe.

When he just heard the numbers, place names, and troops in Guo Jia's mouth, his heart also became warm.

Back to the long-lost battlefield, he seemed to smell the smell of hot blood and heard the stimulating sound of the drums ringing.

He also wanted to fight for this position of vanguard, but he knew that he could not compete with the generals of Liu Zhe.

Compared with them, Sun Ce knew that he was not Liu Zhe's confidant and had not yet gained Liu Zhe's trust. He would not be allowed to take on this pioneer position.

Just as Liu Zhe's generals were all fighting for the vanguard position, his subordinates suddenly came to report:

"Lord, Cao Cao's envoy has arrived..."

"The Prime Minister's subordinate, I have met the Grand Marshal."

The visitor was Jiang Ji, a counselor under Cao Cao. He was appointed by Cao Cao to come to Liu Zhe's place with the purpose of knowing why Liu Zhe had made such a big move.

It is a bit dangerous to be the envoy. Although the two armies were fighting and not killing them, if Liu Zhe did not abide by this and ordered Jiang Ji to be killed, Cao Cao would not be able to find Liu Zhe to avenge Jiang Ji.

Faced with danger, Jiang Ji did not retreat, he came fearlessly.

"Mr. Zitong (Jiang Ji's name is), why did you come?" Liu Zhe met Jiang Ji in the hall of the prefect's mansion in Yecheng.

Don't you know what I'm here for?

Jiang Ji couldn't help but slander, but he said: "The Taiwei is the pillar of the country and the emperor's uncle. When he heard that the Taiwei was in Yecheng, the emperor and the prime minister specially entrusted him to come and comfort the Taiwei."

After saying that, Jiang Ji asked someone to present the gift list prepared by Cao Cao to Liu Zhe.

Although Cao Cao wanted Jiang Ji to find out why Liu Zhe had done such a big move, it did not mean that he wanted Jiang Ji to come and ask this question directly. He had to have a reason to come to Liu Zhe. Condolences to Liu Zhe is naturally the best excuse.

Seeing the valuable gifts on the list, Liu Zhe couldn't help but smile. Not to mention that Cao Cao had invested a lot of money.

Liu Zhe naturally would not refuse the things that came to his house for free. He accepted them all and said, "Go back to me and thank the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is intent."

Jiang Ji was calm on the surface, but his heart was secretly active. Liu Zhe didn't mention the emperor and kept talking to the prime minister. What does this mean?

He, Jiang Ji, clearly mentioned the emperor, but Liu Zhe did not mention it.

If you don’t mention the emperor, you may be dissatisfied with Cao Cao’s autocracy, but you may also be dissatisfied with the emperor.

This requires going back and talking to the Prime Minister, Jiang Ji said to himself in his heart.

However, although Jiang Ji was thinking of this idea, he said on the surface: "The Taiwei contributed to the court, and the emperor and the prime minister's condolences should be given."

"Is there anything else that Mr. Zitong?"

Liu Zhe did not talk much nonsense to Jiang Ji. He said to Jiang Ji directly: "If there is nothing else, please go back. Our lieutenant has been busy with official duties recently and it is difficult to entertain Mr. Zitong. I hope Mr. Zitong will forgive me."

When facing Liu Zhe's words, Jiang Ji was anxious, your sister, my real purpose of coming here has not been achieved yet, why did he send off the guests?

Don’t even say a few polite words? You don’t play according to the rules, it’s abominable.

There is no way. If Jiang Ji knew that if he didn't take the initiative, Liu Zhe would not be able to take the initiative to mention his big fight.

So Jiang Ji said depressedly: "Taiwei, when we came all the way, we found that the army under the Taiwei seemed to be mobilizing. I wonder what the reason was mobilized? Is it a normal mobilization?"

"Of course not."

Liu Zhe said straightforwardly: "I want to go to Cao Cao to ask for an explanation."

Liu Zhe didn't even call the Prime Minister, and called Cao Cao's name directly.

It was indeed for the Prime Minister.

After hearing this answer, Jiang Ji almost jumped up. His face finally changed. He asked anxiously: "Taiwei, what do you mean by this? The Prime Minister has never offended you."

"Didn't offend me?"

When Liu Zhe heard this, he snorted coldly, "I went to Qingzhou in a low dress, but unexpectedly was attacked by the rebels and almost told me to Qingzhou. What made me even more angry was that I found Cao Cao behind the rebels, so I came here to ask Cao Cao for an explanation."

"Taiwei."

Jiang Ji had cold sweat on his forehead, and he quickly explained: "The affairs of the Qingzhou rebels have nothing to do with the Prime Minister."

"What do you say about Sun Cheng under Cao Chun's command?"

Liu Zhe said coldly: "Sun Cheng is one of the three major leaders of the rebels, and our lieutenant suffered a lot."

Before Jiang Ji could speak, Liu Zhe said again: "At the request of the King of Donghai, my lieutenant sent troops to help him eliminate the rebels, but when he entered the Kingdom of Donghai, he encountered an ambush. The person who ambushed me was not someone else, but the prefect of Xia Pi and Cao Chun. I wonder what the Prime Minister Cao would explain this?"

Cold sweat continued to emerge from Jiang Ji's forehead. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to defend himself.
