Chapter 365 How can you let Cao Cao fool you like this
Liu Bei was silent for a while, "In this case, I will tell the matter to Tao Gong, and send Cao Bao's questioning letter to Xiapi, and tell Tao Gong that I will not interfere with other things in Xuzhou, and I will return to Mount Tai after killing Cao Mengde."
"Here." Li You said calmly, [Mr.
"In this case, continue to mobilize supplies from Mount Tai, set up camp on the spot, accommodate the refugees, and build residences with Tan County as the center. Yunchang, Yide, Xingba, and Zijian each led three thousand troops to fight against the thugs who massacred the people of Xuzhou in all directions.
Hang him." Since Liu Bei issued the order, he no longer cared about whether this was provoking Xuzhou's homeland.
"Here." Guan Yu and others stood up and saluted Liu Bei, and then they all left the Tan County government office, preparing to lead their own troops to kill the thugs and gather the refugees.
"Zichuan, do you think Cao Mengde realized his mistake?" After leaving only a few advisers, Liu Bei looked at the civil servants with confusion and asked.
"I don't know, but Cao Cao is a man who will stop when he vents his anger. After all, he is a determined person and will not really kill for the sake of killing." Chen Xi lowered his head and said, he was a little unsure about Cao Cao.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Guo Jia has been under strict supervision recently. He is not allowed to drink wine, and is not allowed to touch beautiful women. The five stone powder was confiscated directly. According to Guo Jia's own words, he is not even allowed to live.
It's not as good as before, but obviously my spirits are much better.
"Let's talk about it, I also suspect that there is something we don't know about here. Unfortunately, Wen He has not received any information so far." Chen Xi said while looking at Guo Jia, who was thin but had piercing eyes.
"We have information about Xuzhou, and it is accurate information. That is, Tao Gongzu wanted to send Xuzhou to Cao Mengde, but Cao Mengde massacred Xuzhou, so the matter was naturally invalidated." Guo Jia sneered repeatedly when he said this.
"The more important point is that we can be sure that Cao Mengde does not know Tao Gongzu's attitude towards him. Otherwise, he only needs to send envoys to question him. If the two sides confront each other, with Tao Gongzu's current way of thinking, he will definitely let go of Xuzhou and hand it over directly to Cao Cao.
As for now, I am confident that Cao Mengde has obtained this news from other channels, and it is accurate." Guo Jia said calmly, this news was guessed by him, but combined with the current situation of Cao Cao, it can be said that it is very
Seven or eight.
Liu Ye was distracted for a moment, and after a long while he stood up and said, "I may understand Cao Mengde's thoughts. Feng Xiao is right. Cao Mengde is very likely to have learned the news now, and what he is doing now is to save this situation."
Regarding this matter, based on Cao Mengde's character, even if he vented his anger, he would only treat it as if he didn't see the people, and it would be impossible to carry out disaster relief."
"Yes, disaster relief. This matter is too weird for Cao Mengde. It's not that he looks down on Cao Mengde. According to his character, he should not provide disaster relief to these former enemies. The most appropriate action should be to drive them away." Jia Xu took over the words and said.
, then their faces turned dark. When Guo Jia and the other counselors saw Jia Xu's face, they seemed to have woken up, and they all had angry expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong, Zichuan?" Liu Bei looked at his counselors with a puzzled expression, and then called them by name.
"Cao Mengde may want to pin this matter on us, and Cao Mengde really has evidence that Tao Gongzu wanted to give Xuzhou to him, so once Tao Qian dies, we will be passive." Chen Xi said with a wry smile, "Of course this is me
After all, the people know too little, Cao Mengde’s move is enough to cover up the whole thing, and just like the information Wen He has, Cao Mengde now also knows that someone is adding fuel to the fire.”
"It won't be blamed on us, unless we go to see Mr. Tao now, and Mr. Tao sent Xuzhou to us, and then passed away." Guo Jia opened his fan to cover the cold smile on his face, "Although it doesn't seem like it.
Reality, but if we really arrive in Xuzhou, this incident is very likely to happen, and both Cao Cao and the local Xuzhou family are very likely to contribute to this incident."
"Then it can't be cleared up." Liu Ye said with a speechless face, "As long as Cao Mengde can come up with real evidence at that time, coupled with the current move to win over the people, we will not be passive, but tragic, so without
Before we know how Cao Mengde obtained the information, it is best for us not to have contact with Tao Gongzu. Once an accident occurs, it will be really troublesome!"
"Whose plan was this? It's so sinister." Chen Xi frowned and said, "It is difficult for the people to really know the truth due to the opaque information. Even we can only speculate about the Cao Mengde massacre.
Accurate, after all, we have no evidence to prove how many people Cao Mengde massacred, and the most egregious thing is that there were other forces also carrying out massacres."
"Send an envoy to question Cao Mengde, and treat it as a declaration of war. In any case, it is he who caused the displacement of the people in Xuzhou. Whether or not the disaster relief is provided is just atonement. Although it is said that 'knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements,' it does not mean that you know your mistakes."
Correcting a mistake means there is nothing wrong. If that's the case, why do we need the law and the army?" Liu Bei said decisively.
It can be seen that Liu Bei has calmed down a lot compared to the previous madness that he must destroy Cao Cao. In Liu Bei's imagination, Cao Mengde may have indeed carried out the massacre, but it was just to vent his temporary anger. After all, in Liu Bei's mind
In my memory, Cao Cao was still the Cao Mengde who was willing to go into danger alone and pursue Dong Zhuo for the sake of the common people in the Hulao Pass and the emperor.
"It's okay, my lord is right. Send an envoy to question him. Cao Mengde must have received the news that our army has been stationary for so long after arriving in the East China Sea. There is no need to lose his grace for a moment of anger." Jia Wenhe said.
"Mr. Xuande, before sending an envoy to question Cao Mengde, I think it's better to let Mr. Xuande be clearer." Chen Xi said with a headache.
It seems that Liu Bei thought that Cao Mengde only killed 1,800 people, and was going to question Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao gave an explanation and was willing to clean up the mess, Liu Bei was going to expose this matter.
After all, Cao Cao's long-term efforts in Yanzhou and other places have indeed proved that he is a capable minister, and unlike Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's wolfish ambition, Liu Bei's memory still remains at Hulao Pass, where Cao Mengde, a like-minded man, made an appointment to help the Han Dynasty.
On the body, and as far as current performance is concerned, Cao Cao has indeed acknowledged his mistakes and corrected them. Although Liu Bei said something fierce, his tone has softened a lot.
Liu Bei hoped that Cao Cao could make greater achievements and work hard to help the Han Dynasty like him, so he planned to accommodate Cao Cao.
As for the 1,800 people who died in Liu Bei's heart, as long as Cao Cao makes suitable arrangements for the living people, Liu Bei can pretend that he didn't see it. After all, Cao Cao is avenging his father. Father's hatred is something that even a murderer can reasonably cover up.
An excuse, and this excuse has been used for four hundred years in the Han Dynasty, which governed the world with filial piety.
