Chapter 158 Lien Zhan's Commander
Half an hour later, Xun Yu came to Changxin Hall. When he saw Cao Cao, although he was a little surprised, he was more happy. Liu Xie noticed this detail and he also knew that in fact, both of them regarded each other as confidants.
Now the pillars of the Han Dynasty and the pillars of the Civil and Military Palace are the two of them.
"Mr. Sikong! The official is polite." Xun Yu said and bowed. Cao Cao quickly stood up and supported him, "Wenruo, don't be so polite! I have to apologize to you. The promised day is a must."
"You are welcome to be polite, Lord Sikong."
Xun Yu smiled. At this time, he glanced at Liu Xie quietly and asked. After Liu Xie nodded without any slightest expression, Xun Yu felt at ease, "You are the happiest person to come back. I haven't seen you for such a long time, Lord Sikong has lost weight."
"It is inevitable that this will happen when fighting outside. It's not a problem. I'll come back after a while and I'll raise it."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xun Yu was stunned and frowned at him, "What does Lord Sikong mean? Is the court still going to start a war? Or is the war in Hebei not over yet?"
"How to say..."
Cao Cao paused for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Look at Wen Ruo, I don't know what to say when I see you. Let's sit down first, sit down before talking!"
Cao Cao pulled Xun Yu to sit beside him. Liu Xie hurriedly greeted Liu Jin and other eunuchs outside the door and presented them with refreshments and fruits. After everything was arranged, Cao Cao reached out and handed the wooden box containing the embroidered piece to Xiahou Dun. "Yuan asked you guys to go out with your things first, tell everyone that they would go home and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, the Changxin Hall will gather. This thing is your Majesty's wish."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
One-eyed Xiahou Dun was still as cold as before. After bowing to Liu Xie, he took Xu Chu and others to leave Changxin Hall. However, Liu Xie noticed that although everyone had gone out, Xu Chu did not leave. Instead, he stopped outside Changxin Hall and said to Liu Jin in a muffled voice: "Go, get a bed for someone, ask for some tea and snacks, and I want to wait for Lord Sikong here!"
“Yes, yes.”
Liu Jin didn't dare to say much, so he hurried to do it. Whether in the novel or historical records, Xu Chu was Cao Cao's most loyal guard. After Dian Wei's death, Cao Cao handed over all his escort safety to him.
Waiting for everything to settle, Xun Yu looked at Fu Wan who happened to be listed and suddenly laughed, "Mr. Guozhan is here too today. This is great. To put it too much, the three people listed today can be regarded as the ministers of my Great Han Palace."
"Xun Lingjun has promoted his post."
He said this with kindness, and raised Fu Wan's identity, but Fu Wan was very self-aware and did not dare to agree at all. He quickly refused, "The official is just an idle person. Where can I afford to be so arrogant, I must not!"
"well."
Before Fu Wan finished speaking, he was stopped by Cao Cao, "Mr. Guozhan said that he was friends with me and Wenruo, so why should he be so humble? Before, he had been asking for his own responsibilities to leave the court and seeking leisure, but he pushed such a big country to Wenruo and me. It was because the national war was not moral enough."
"I, this..."
Fu Wan didn't know what to say for a moment, and Cao Cao even laughed and made a decision that shocked everyone.
"The national war, today, the court is different from the past. Civil wars have not yet been settled, and rebels are everywhere. In addition, the existing Kushan provoked us to the heavenly dynasty. This is a critical moment for the court, so you can no longer be idle."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused for a moment, then turned to Liu Xie who was a little confused, "Your Majesty, I would like to report to reply to the position of the State General of the State, Yitong's Rong of the Three Divisions, and also ask the soldiers of Yingzhou to be transferred to the State Commander."
"ah?!"
Whether it was Liu Xie, Fu Wan, or Xun Yu, they didn't expect that Cao Cao would push Fu Wan back to the top position of the country with just a mouth, and handed over the Yingzhou army to him.
Although Yingzhou has a small number of soldiers and the current command of the army has only more than 3,000, this is a situation that has never happened before.
Moreover, after hearing this, Xun Yu's face became more hesitant. He knew very well that Cao Cao mentioned Kushan at this moment, because he was afraid that he would fight.
It turns out that he said "after a while" before, this is what he meant.
Start a war?
Xun Yu somewhat disagrees with this proposal. First of all, Liu Xie had actually suppressed the Kushan mission at that time, and the face of the Han Dynasty was not provoked. Secondly, it was because the country's finances were not good at the moment. Once the war started, it would cause the economy to decline and the people would suffer.
"Wenruo, don't say anything, I know what you think." Cao Cao saw through his thoughts, blocked Xun Yu's mouth in advance, and then slowly shook his head under the gaze of everyone.
"Sir Sikong, are you?"
Liu Xie asked.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Your Majesty, Wen Ruo, national security, I know you each have different ideas, but I only proposed the matter about the Kushan country after I thought about it in advance. Weisutiva has coveted my Hexi Corridor and other places for many years. I had sent people to mediate with them before, but the effect was not very good. But this time, they actually dared to send an envoy Wuzhao Yue Border. This is a provocation to the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the court has just drew Hebei, and the rebels across the country are watching the movements of the court. They don't know who the ministers will fight against next, and using Kushan can also test them."
"What does Lord Sikong mean?" Xun Yu looked at him solemnly, "Test them, what is there to test for those people."
"Wen Ruo, they all called themselves Han and fought, and regarded me as a traitor who held the emperor's orders to the princes. Well, I will take my troops to conquer the enemy country for the Han Dynasty. What will they do at this time? There are only three possibilities: sending troops to help, watching coldly, and taking the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The first two choices are that after I conquer the Kushans, they can be given a side of the net and recruiting them. Once anyone among these people dares to take the opportunity to use troops to the court... Humph, then when I return to the army, it will be the moment of its annihilation!"
Cao Cao's words did not fluctuate at all, but they were so firm and exciting in his ears!
Sure enough, hearing is false, seeing is true. If it weren’t for seeing it with your own eyes, Liu Xie would never believe that in Cao Cao’s heart, there would be such a hot pillow to the court.
Of course, Liu Xie, a historian, also had his own opinions on Cao Cao. For example, before the Battle of Red Cliff, he had a sentence when he wrote a poem with a spear, which was very worthy of consideration.
Qi Kuo talks about the banquet, and he is nostalgic for his old grace.
In the second half of the sentence, Liu Xie believes that it is the statement that when Cao Cao was alive, he never proclaimed himself emperor and replaced him. Although he was powerless and authoritarian, he was still grateful to the Han court and had a deep emotion.
Cao Cao's words were so heart-warming and touching that the three of them were silent. Look at me, I look at you. After a long silence, Xun Yu spoke.
