Chapter 1400 A place to keep people

After meeting Cao Shuo, Tujiu went to Xuzhou with the company of Zuo Xianwang and others.

When they arrived in Xuzhou, Cao Shu ordered to reach the Huns long ago.

The elderly, weak, women and children were placed in villages everywhere, while the strong warriors were left in a military camp outside Xia Pi City.

It was originally planned to go to the military camp, but the Da Shanyu and his party were stopped by people sent by Sima Yi.

The one who stopped them was Cui Zhouping, the magistrate of Xiapi County.

He led a team of people to stand in front of Da Shanyu and others, Cui Zhouping bowed and said, "Da Shanyu finally came to Xuzhou. General Sima has set up a banquet. Please ask Da Shanyu to go."

"I just came from the King of Huainan." The Great Shanyu replied: "I heard that my tribe members have been assigned to various places, and now there is only one military camp left. I am about to go back and take a look."

"The Prince's order arrived earlier than the Great Shanyu." Cui Zhouping said: "If there was no Prince's order, General Sima would not dare to make arbitrary claims."

"The military order of King Huainan should not be issued for a long time. General Sima got things done so quickly." said the Great Shanyu: "It's not that the action is too fast."

Cui Zhouping smiled and said, "The Great Shanyu didn't know anything. The young master's command, from generals to soldiers, was so decisive. Otherwise, why did the young master's conquests all over the years? Isn't it all because everyone did things without shirking their responsibilities?"

His answer was reasonable and well-founded, and the Great Shanyu didn't expect how to argue.

What's more, in Shouchun, Cao Shu had already discussed how to settle the Huns and he agreed at that time.

Although he personally agreed to Cao Shuo to do this, after all this really happened, the Great Shanyu still felt inexplicably disappointed deep in his heart.

The tribe members were scattered all over the place, and most of his power was deprived.

If Cao Shu hadn't left him more than 10,000 Hun warriors, the Great Shanyu would even doubt whether the King of Huainan wanted to destroy the various tribes.

"There is actually no other meaning for General Sima to invite the Great Shanyu." Seeing that the Great Shanyu did not speak, Cui Zhouping continued: "It is just that after slaughtering all ethnic groups, they will live in Xuzhou. The general believes that some things are not properly discussed with the Great Shanyu first, and many misunderstandings will occur later."

"Misunderstanding?" asked the Great Shanyu: "The massacre of all ethnic groups in Xuzhou was agreed by the King of Huainan. As long as General Sima does not target the Huns, what other misunderstandings can there be?"

"The Great Chanyu was talking about the idea." Cui Zhouping replied: "General Sima was worried that the people of all ethnic groups would have such an idea, so he asked the Great Chanyu to go to Xiapi."

He looked at the Zuo Xianwang, and the Great Shanyu said, "Since General Sima means this, let's go."

The place where Cui Zhouping welcomed them was not far from Xia Pi.

In just over an hour, the team arrived outside Xiapi City.

As he was about to arrive at the city gate, the Great Shanyu saw a group of people waiting outside the city gate.

The first person was in his twenties, wearing general armor, and behind him were Xuzhou officials of all sizes.

Needless to ask, it is Sima Yi who is waiting there.

Sure enough, Cui Zhouping said to him: "The Great Shanyu, General Sima came to greet him in person."

I had long heard that Sima Yi was a very important figure under Cao Shuo's command. Of course, the Great Shanyu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly urged the horse to speed up.

Cui Zhouping, Zuo Xianwang and others urged their mounts to walk towards the city gate.

Seeing that the Great Shanyu was coming, Sima Yi rode his horse to meet him.

He was about to come to the front, and he stopped his horse and bowed and said, "I should have gone to welcome the Great Shanyu in person, but Xuzhou has many affairs and is always unable to get rid of it. Please forgive me!"

"The general is so serious." The Great Shanyu replied, "I heard that the general wants me to come, but I dare not delay for a moment, so I followed the magistrate Cui."

"I just invited the Great Shanyu to Xia Pi as a guest, not an invitation from government affairs." Sima Yi smiled and said, "I can't afford to say this to the Great Shanyu."

Retreat to the side to make way, Sima Yi said, "Great Shanyu, please enter the city!"

After thanking him, the Great Shanyu and Sima Yi rode into Xia Pi.

"I heard that Pengcheng is bigger than Xia Pi. How did General Sima choose to stay in Xia Pi instead of Pengcheng?" When he entered the city, the Great Chanyu asked Sima Yi.

"Although Pengcheng is large, its location is a little southerly." Sima Yi replied: "The places that the young master is focusing on are in the north now, so it is more convenient for me to do business in Xia Pi."

"I wonder where the general intends to settle me?" asked the Great Shanyu.

"It depends on where the Great Chanyu likes." Sima Yi said: "The young master did not explain it specifically. I guess he had to choose the Great Chanyu himself."

"If I want to go to Pengcheng, I wonder if the general is willing or not?" Da Shanyu asked with a smile.

"As long as the Great Shanyu wants to go, I will let you arrange it." Sima Yi replied: "Will you still be as comfortable as you are in Taihang when you arrive in Xuzhou?"

I thought Sima Yi would make things difficult for him, but I didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk to, so the Great Shanyu felt a little uncomfortable.

He smiled and said to Sima Yi: "I just said casually, General Sima doesn't have to take it to heart."

"The Great Shanyu said casually, it was a big deal for me." Sima Yi replied with a smile: "If I really want to go to Pengcheng, I will definitely place everything."

"Thank you, General Sima." The Great Shanyu gave Sima Yi a Hun ceremony and thanked him.

Sima Yi sighed and said, "If I had known that the Great Shanyu had not planned to live with me in Xiapi, I would not have someone prepare for the mansion. Now the mansion is ready, so it seems that I have to find another place in Pengcheng."

"General Sima has prepared his residence?" Da Shanyu asked in surprise.

"I knew that the Great Khan must stay here when I came to Xuzhou," Sima Yi said: "I thought you and I could live in the same city in the future and have a care for each other. If we encounter something that cannot be resolved, the Great Khan could also come to me directly, but I didn't expect that Xia Pi would not be able to get into the eyes of the Great Khan, but Pengcheng would be able to keep people even more."

When saying this, Sima Yi's tone was a little sad, and the Great Shanyu was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

He looked back at King Zuo Xian.

King Zuo Xian nodded.

The meaning of the Great Shanyu's look at this was to ask if King Zuo Xian could stay in Xia Pi.

King Zuo Xian nodded and told him that the troops were still in his hands, so it would be okay to stay in Xia Pi.

"Actually, I don't know very well what Pengcheng is like." The Great Shanyu said: "Since General Sima has prepared a residence for me in Xia Pi, I can stay here."

"How can this be?" Sima Yi said in surprise: "Of course, the Great Shanyu wanted to live in the place he liked..."

"I have already received General Sima's wishes." Da Shanyu interrupted him: "In fact, there is not much difference where he lives."
