"By uniting vertically and horizontally, the world's power will be horizontal, and vertically and horizontally will be combined to plan. The overall situation of the world is like a chess piece. I don't know when it will be unified."

Since ancient times, diplomacy has been another accessory of war. Sometimes the quality of diplomacy can directly affect or even determine the course of the entire war.

Liu Biao stepped down from his seat, took Chen Zhen's hand affectionately and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work. This time you must persuade Cao Cao to join us. On behalf of all the people of Jingzhou, I ask you."

"My lord, you're too polite. It is my unshirkable duty to be sent as an envoy to Xuchang City. If I don't succeed this time, I will be killed in Cao Cao's palace."

Liu Biao hurriedly covered Chen Zhen's mouth and sighed: "Xiaoqi, no matter whether you succeed this time or not, you must come back safely."

"Okay, lord, I'm getting ready to go."

In June of 199 AD, Chen Zhen finally arrived in Xuchang after nearly half a month of hard work. After passing through Xun Yu's path, Cao Cao finally decided to meet Chen Zhen and took advantage of the opportunity to summon all the cultural relics to discuss the general trend of the world.

Under the guidance of Xun Yu, Chen Zhen arrived at the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he opened the dusty door, Chen Zhen was instantly shocked by these majestic buildings and immediately attracted by these gorgeous palaces...

…

I saw that the ground paved with fine white jade was shining with a warm light, and there seemed to be a mist shrouding the unreal palace in the distance. Phoenixes spread their wings on the eaves carved from sandalwood, and the floating windows carved from blue tiles

Wall panels piled with jade, a huge square at the end of a straight road slowly sinking with jade steps, a straight pillar on the huge altar in the center is carved with lifelike dragon patterns, far away from the phoenix on the palace

relatively……

Chen Zhen asked hurriedly: "Mr. Xun, is this the palace you brought me here?"

"I think the inner courtyard of the palace may not be as luxurious as this one, right?"

Xun Yu smiled without answering and just walked forward blindly. Chen Zhen followed closely behind him and reached the jade steps.

Xun Yu grabbed Chen Zhen and said, "Wait here. I'll go in when I summon you later."

Chen Zhen looked towards the corridor leading from the jade steps to the main hall and saw that there were strong warriors standing on both sides, each with bright armor and majestic strength.

Chen Zhen was instantly shocked by these warriors.

Suddenly, a person in charge shouted: "Xuan Wenwu Dacheng comes into the palace to discuss matters."

At this time, only those of Cao Cao's subordinates who were of high enough rank could ascend this magnificent palace.

All civil and military personnel gathered in the main hall, and only then did Cao Cao sit on his seat.

"What happened to you guys recently?"

Cao Ren stood up first and said: "Report to the Prime Minister, today Yuan Shao is attacking Gongsun Zan and has already reached Yi Jing. I estimate that Gongsun Zan will be attacked soon. Now Yuan soldiers have begun to gather towards the north bank of the Yellow River. Please make a decision, Prime Minister."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Yuan Shao is a man of great ambition and talent, but I don't think he can form a general trend. Our army must defeat these rebels before they can gather. Recently, we will step up military expansion and preparations to face Yuan Shao."

"yes."

"Everyone, is there anything else you want to say?"

At this time Xun Yu stood up and said: "Prime Minister, Chen Zhen, the envoy from Jingzhou, came to see the Prime Minister today."

Cao Cao asked without even looking at it: "What kind of gift cards are they talking about?"

"Report to the Prime Minister that the gift list brought by the Jingzhou envoy is five carts of gold, ten carts of silk and satin, and ten carts of jewelry."

"Well, they still know each other. Is the envoy here now?"

"Yes, the envoy is outside the hall now."

"Tell him to come up."

From time to time, a man who looked like a butler walked out and shouted loudly: "The envoy of Xuan Jingzhou, Chen Zhen, is here to see you."

Chen Zhen slowly adjusted his clothes, and then walked up the jade steps. After walking through the jade steps, he entered the main hall. Entering the main hall, Chen Zhen saw the cloud-top sandalwood beams, crystal jade lamps, and pearls in the hall.

As the curtain, Fan Jin as the pillar foundation, Chen Zhen saw these as if falling into the phantom sea of ​​clouds and mountains.

Chen Zhen took a deep breath, knowing that there would be a fierce debate today, so he walked over and prepared to fight to the death.
