Cao Cao discussed this idea with his confidant Xun Yu. This time he did not find anyone else, only Xun Yu.
Needless to say, Xun Yu was a Han official, and Cao Cao came to ask Xun Yu. Xun Yu was also quite strange, but Cao Cao's words surprised Xun Yu, but he also felt that it should be.
"Wen Ruo, I have something I want to do. Please help me with the details." After being scolded by Liu Xie in public that day, Cao Cao not only did not feel ashamed, but was actually a little excited. Of course, Cao Cao always felt that this feeling was a bit shameful, so after the meeting
He summoned Xun Yu back again.
"Lord, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, and I will help you." After Xun Yu came, he heard Cao Cao's words and thought that Cao Cao had been publicly criticized by Liu Xie today.
"Wen Ruo, wait a moment while I speak. Don't say that I'm exaggerating. This time you really need to understand me and give me advice." Cao Cao was silent for a while and decided to have a showdown with Xun Yu. He needed someone to help him.
As a staff officer, Xun Yu is good at everything except fighting. His planning is no worse than that of Xun You and Cheng Yu.
"You should listen attentively and will not interrupt your lord." Xun Yu nodded. In his opinion, not interrupting when others are talking is a necessary quality of a gentleman.
"Let's put it this way, before today, I couldn't look down on the emperor. In addition to what happened with Wang Situ before, my attitude towards the emperor is not exactly the same as yours. In my opinion, a submissive guy has no power at all.
He is qualified to sit on the throne of the Emperor!" Cao Cao directly said what was in his heart.
Thanks to Liu Xie's courage at that time, Cao Cao was frightened. After his original dissatisfaction was shaken, he really wanted to find someone to talk to, but Cheng Yu was not around, so he found Xun Yu.
Xun Yu's expression changed greatly when he heard this, but he suppressed his silence. Cao Cao seemed not to notice the change in Xun Yu's expression, and continued to talk to himself, "Anyone in the clan can do the job for the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Before,
It seems to me that he is not qualified at all..."
Cao Cao rambled on about all the bad things he had done since Liu Xie came to the throne. In the end, Xun Yu almost exploded. He just missed a few cases and fell on Cao Cao's face. However, he had agreed with Cao Cao before.
We have to wait until Cao Cao finishes speaking.
Therefore, under the gentleman's demeanor he had maintained for many years, Xun Yu finally tolerated the situation that Cao Cao mentioned.
"But before, the emperor stood on the carriage, pointed his sword at everyone, and blamed me. Suddenly I felt that the momentum of the Han Dynasty could still be saved. Maybe the emperor just lacked opportunities." Cao Cao slowly revealed his thoughts, and
Xun Yu's expression also returned to calm.
Xun Yu prided himself on knowing people, so he could naturally tell that Cao Cao never told a lie and had a complete mental journey from the beginning to the present. Although there were indeed some exaggerated words in it, let alone Cao Cao's bad things about those things back then, Xun Yu was also very
Too bad!
"Wen Ruo, what do you think I should do?" After Cao Cao finished saying his bad words, he kicked the ball to Xun Yu. Now Xun Yu couldn't say any unpleasant words.
"Then I don't know what step my lord wants to achieve?" Xun Yu asked after being silent for a while.
"If the emperor can revive the Han Dynasty, there is nothing he can't do." After hesitating for a moment, Cao Cao said with determination.
"Then my lord and I will personally lead an army to the north to attack the Xiongnu." Xun Yu pressed his temples and quickly finished thinking.
Cao Cao didn't quite understand what Xun Yu said.
"When we go to the north, Yongliang will be empty. Without the lord, the emperor will be freed up. With such courage, the emperor will naturally be able to successfully hold Yongliang in his hands. Moreover, when the lord goes north, Liu Taiwei will naturally
We need to go north." Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao calmly.
This time Cao Cao understood that if Liu Xie was good enough, the half-year vacuum period when he went north to empty Yongliang would be enough for Liu Xie to control the entire Yongliang.
Even if Liu Xie had the ability of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, during the more than half a year when Cao Cao dragged Liu Bei to the north to fight against the Northern Huns, Liu Xie should have been able to take over Liu Bei's territory as well. Even if he couldn't, with the emperor's righteousness and the
The banner that Liu Bei had been holding was already within easy reach for Liu Xie to revive the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao was silent and Xun Yu didn't say much. After all, Cao Cao had worked hard for so long. What's more, even if Cao Cao had estimated Liu Xie's ability and Liu Xie succeeded in this matter, I'm afraid Cao Cao would not end well.
.
"At least I have Liu Xuande accompanying me. You will know whether it is true or not when you see it." Cao Caolang said with a smile.
Xun Yu lowered his head and did not look at Cao Cao. Cao Cao was ready to take the path of a hero, but with Xun Yu's wisdom, how could he not see the hope in it.
[It’s really nice to have such a close lord.] Xun Yu looked calm, but there was a hint of joy in his heart. Cao Cao couldn’t pay attention to some details, but Cao Cao was willing to do this, so how could Xun Yu
Leave no way for Cao Cao to survive.
"In this case, let's stop fighting with Liu Bei. Zhongde and Gongda will also be transferred back. When the time comes, we will go north to attack the Xiongnu. Who do you plan to take with you?" Xun Yu first suggested, and then asked Cao Cao.
"Of course it's me, you, Zhongde, Gongda, and as for the generals, I will take most of the generals away." Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu calmly.
Xun Yu slowly stood up and walked around several tables, walked five steps in front of Cao Cao, and bowed deeply to him.
"But I agreed, Ang'er, that I will stay in Chang'an." Cao Cao said to Xun Yu.
"This is natural." Xun Yu nodded. If Cao Ang went to the north, the whole of Chang'an would definitely be in chaos. Besides, there is only one Cao Ang. Although he is an excellent person, with the courage shown by Liu Xie before, he won the victory.
It's not difficult.
[Maybe my lord has never imagined that sometimes all it takes to clear his name is a letter.] Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao calmly.
After Cao Cao poured out his heart to Xun Yu, the original relationship between the emperor and his ministers became stronger. In addition to ambition and compatibility, there was more of a deep friendship.
But having said that, after Xun Yu left, Cao Cao was actually quite embarrassed, but the words had been thrown out of his mouth under the surging heart, and Cao Cao was not ready to break his promise.
Then he wrote a letter to Liu Xie stating that he would lead his troops north to attack the Xiongnu. There was nothing to say about this, and Liu Xie must have agreed.
And as Cao Cao made preparations, Liu Xie seemed to see something different, such as the hope of regaining power.
In addition, as a result of his conditioned reflex behavior after being inspired by the Northern Huns, Liu Xie became much less afraid of Cao Cao and others, at least his original cleverness had begun to return.
As the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, there are many things to do, and this time Cao Cao personally led the army to the north, which allowed Liu Xie to see the opportunity for the Han Dynasty to return to his hands. He would take this opportunity to take back the power of the Han Dynasty.
