A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 357 The Forbearance of the Messenger
"Yes, it's true that you can't get drunk. I suggest that the wine in the glass be drunk!" Lu Meng agreed, also raised the wine glass in his hand, and then poured it down!
Seeing that both of them were like this, Xia Houba immediately drank the glass of wine in front of him!

After three glasses of wine were consumed, the banquet was finally over.Instructing the guards to remove one by one, the dining table was in front of the three of them.

Then, a cup of after-dinner light tea appeared in front of the three of them.

"I just used the dishes and ate some meat, and my stomach is unavoidably uncomfortable. Why don't you drink a cup of tea to soothe your stomach!
Anyway, we have a lot of time, so it's not too late! "

As Lu Meng spoke, he raised his teacup and began to put it to his mouth. He was doing a demonstration, showing it to Xia Houba!
"This tea smells so strong, I haven't smelled this kind of tea for a long time!"

Xiahouba also imitated Lu Meng, picked up the teacup, and sniffed it with the tip of his nose. The refreshing fragrance instantly made Xiahouba much more awake!

"There's nothing wrong with the tea itself, but it's rare to make tea with this dew, so it will inevitably look much fresher!"

Jiang Wei explained the source of the tea, and then drank half of the tea.

After a while, the teacups of the three people were all drained, and the guard who was waiting on the side hurriedly refilled the three people with new tea.

Afterwards, they all turned around and left at the same time, and the topics of these three people also turned to the right one after another!
"General Xiahou came here on this trip, but he was ordered by Cao Pi?"

Jiang Wei asked this question very suddenly, but he didn't know that just a second ago, Jiang Wei was still talking about tea, but his tone suddenly became serious!

This huge contrast made Xiahou Ba feel a little uncomfortable.

But since Jiang Wei has already asked this question, Xia Houba should naturally answer it too!
"Yes, I did come here on the orders of my lord! My lord wants to discuss cooperation with the two generals. To show my sincerity, I will be his envoy!"

When talking about serious matters, Xiahouba's expression can be said to have disappeared without a trace. Right now, Xiahouba is like a piece of stiff wood, and there is no change in his expression at all!
"I don't know what Cao Pi wants to talk to us about? You must know that some time ago, he led his troops to attack Luoyang City, and now he suddenly sends someone to talk about cooperation, which will inevitably arouse suspicion!"

Lu Meng stared at Xiahouba cautiously, observing the changes in Xiahouba's expression all the time, but it was a pity that Xiahouba never showed any characteristics from the beginning to the end.

Xia Houba replied: "My lord wants to help you take Luoyang City, Sima Yi is now my lord's enemy, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend, I think you must have heard of it!

It is because of this consideration that my master intends to help you defeat Sima Yi and end the dispute in Luoyang City! "

In a few words, Xiahouba brought the topic to the place where it is most likely to stimulate discussion.

"Destroy Sima Yi? Cao Pi has a good plan. He is afraid that Sima Yi will usurp his military power, so he wants to use our hands to get rid of Sima Yi. If we really do this, I'm afraid it will be harmful to us! "

Jiang Wei saw through Cao Pi's strategy at a glance, and he was merciless when he spoke!

"How did General Jiang Wei say that? My lord just wants to help you get rid of Sima Yi. Don't you want to do that?"

Xiahouba's expression finally changed, it was an expression of anxiety and eagerness, it seemed that he was very worried about this matter, especially when Jiang Wei expressed his uncooperative opinions!
Lu Meng tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, beating quite regularly.

His eyes rolled around, staring at Jiang Wei and Xia Houba from left to right!

At this time, Jiang Wei still seemed to have something to say, he was lying on his desk with his arms completely prone, his whole body leaned forward, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly joking!

"Sima Yi naturally wants to get rid of it, but we don't think now is the best time, if you think doing so will help us, then you are totally wrong!
Now Cao Pi can't wait to capture Luoyang City immediately and restore his notice, but we and Sima Yi are dependent on each other!
I've heard the story of the dead lips and cold teeth a long time ago. If we accept Cao Pi's cooperation at this time and cooperate with him to defeat Sima Yi, then Cao Pi should attack us next, right?
We are not like Sima Yi who can manipulate your soldiers. In this way, I am afraid that our demise will follow!
When the time comes, we and Sima Yi will all be eliminated, and then Cao Pi will naturally become the sole monarch of Wei!

Do you think I would allow you to deceive me if I knew the whole process? "

Jiang Wei did not go around in circles or make any more high-sounding clichés, but directly stated all the ideas that Cao Pi had made!
It was indeed Chen Lin's idea to Cao Pi to kill Sima Yi first, and then Lu Meng and the others.

Although Chen Lin's original intention was not to kill Lu Meng and others, but if things continue to follow this trend, the final result will naturally not be much better!

Therefore, Jiang Wei, who had already seen through all this, would naturally not allow this to happen.

If Jiang Wei explains all this clearly, Xiahou Ba's existence will seem a bit embarrassing!
At this moment, he really didn't know how to refute Jiang Wei. After all, Xia Houba was not good at strategic eloquence, so when he encountered such a thing, being speechless was his only performance!
Lu Meng was listening. He was naturally standing in the same queue as Jiang Wei at the moment, but his current status was more like a middleman. Since Jiang Wei had already fought back, he didn't need to go again. Step up!

In addition, Xia Houba is still in an awkward situation. If no one helps him, this embarrassment may eventually lead to his anger!
Therefore, as soon as Lu Meng thought of this, he immediately took the initiative to stand up and mediate the tense atmosphere between the two of them!

"Two generals, we are just negotiating and discussing, there is no need to make the atmosphere so tense!

General Jiang Wei, I admit that your estimate is reasonable, but it is just your guess after all. Why don't you listen to General Xiahou's explanation?
Maybe Cao Pi didn't mean that, it's just that you guessed wrong! "

Jiang Wei could understand Lu Meng's words, so when Lu Meng stepped forward, Jiang Wei naturally restrained his spirit.

I saw him slowly lifting the arm that was pressing on the desk, and the banter around the corner of his mouth gradually subsided at this moment.

"Okay, I am looking forward to General Xiahou's answer, if my guess is wrong, then I can totally apologize to General Xiahou and Cao Pi!
But what if I guess right?Could it be that General Lu Meng will once again stand in the ranks of others? "

Although Jiang Wei has put away his sharpness and concealed his sharpness, the blade hidden in his words has not been fully restrained.

So when he asked this question, Xiahou Ba would still be affected by him.

While Lu Meng and Jiang Wei were waiting for Xiahouba's answer, Xiahouba's head was already a mess.

Before leaving, Cao Pi did not tell Xia Houba his whole plan. Cao Pi just asked him to try his best to facilitate the matter. After all, killing Sima Yi was a beneficial thing for both Cao Pi and Lu Meng.

It's just that this matter is more beneficial to Cao Pi.

And when Jiang Wei confided all his guesses, under Jiang Wei's guidance, Xia Houba's thoughts gradually moved towards the direction Jiang Wei wanted.

Although Xia Houba was not very sure, the analysis Jiang Wei made was so true.

So this matter began to tangle in Xiahouba's mind constantly, even though he really wanted to find a little loophole to explain this matter.

But just relying on his brain, it seems that there is no way to reach this level!
Therefore, he did not say a word until the end, and the waiting of Lu Meng and Jiang Wei ended in failure after all.

"Okay! It seems that he really has nothing to refute me. My guess is correct. He has no way to refute me at all!"

Jiang Wei said with emotion. From the look on his face, it seemed that he had expectations before, but Xiahou Ba let him down.

"General Xiahou's guess about Jiang Wei, don't you really have anything to explain?" Lu Meng asked Xiahouba directly at this moment.

I don't know why, but you seem to want Xiahouba to explain all this, and then pretend to be persuaded by Xiahouba to persuade Jiang Wei.

But Xia Houba's speechlessness now disappointed Lu Meng very much.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask, forcing Xia Houba to say something useful.

"It's not that I have nothing to say, but that I have never understood these things at all. My lord asked me to come here just to talk about this matter, not to let me guess his thoughts at will!

Now General Jiang Wei has a perfect guess. Although all of this is very reasonable, but behind the reasonableness, he has labeled my lord as a sinister villain!
Regarding this point, it is absolutely intolerable to me, but no matter how much I can't tolerate it, I can't explode here!
After all, I am the messenger who came to talk about cooperation, no matter how irritable my temper is, I have to suppress it as much as possible, instead of expressing my thoughts wantonly like you hosts, regardless of any consequences! "

Xiahouba finally fought back, especially the last sentence, which was clearly directed at Jiang Wei!
