The man who came was short and slightly dark-skinned. He was none other than Cao Cao.
Xun Yu followed the reputation and asked with a smile: "Meng De, do you and Wei Xian have some official matters to discuss?"
Cao Cao did not deny his intention and said with a smile: "Well, it's half public and half private. It's said to be a private matter, but it's actually a business matter!"
When Xun Yu heard this, his heart immediately relaxed. Sitting in the big tent, he felt uncomfortable all over. He was not at all happy to meet Wang Can, Guo Jia, and Xun You. Instead, he felt panic in his heart. Cao Cao was here.
, he could just use Cao Cao's words to leave Wang Can's camp.
Xun Yu stood up, saluted Wang Can, and said: "Meng De has official business to handle. It's not convenient for me to be here. We will talk about it later after you finish talking about official business. First, be filial and fair. I will go first."
left."
After saying that, Xun Yu turned and left.
"Wen Ruo!"
Just as Xun Yu turned around, Wang Can and Cao Cao shouted in unison.
Wang Can also reacted very quickly and said immediately: "Meng De, you go ahead and I won't say anything." Wang Can smiled meaningfully and understood Cao Cao's intention. Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Wang Can also knew that Cao Cao
This guy was so happy to see that he was planning to poach Yuan Shao, and Wang Can was wondering if Cao Cao had listened to the scout's report and knew that Xun Yu had come to Wang Can's tent, so he quickly ran to the tent and said something was going on.
Negotiate.
Not mentioning how Wang Can guessed Cao Cao's thoughts, Cao Cao said: "Wen Ruo, it's better to meet each other by chance than to invite each other. It's rare for us to meet together, so let's stay and have a few drinks!"
Xun Yu was resolute and turned around and said: "No need, there are still many things to deal with under the leader's account, I will go back first."
Ignoring Cao Cao's dissuasion, Xun Yu turned around and left.
Wang Can was confused, Xun Yu was too outrageous, so ungrateful?
Even so, Wang Can did not stop him, and he was willing to see such a situation. If Cao Cao and Xun Yu met, the two would look at each other like a bastard, and Wang Can would still feel numb, and Xun Yu's
Wang Can knew his ability. Unfortunately, Xun Yu had a sectarian mentality and was very taboo about Wang Can's identity. When Wang Can faced Xun Yu, he was like a tiger looking at a hedgehog, turning three times to the left and three times to the right.
, I went back and forth and couldn't find a place to open my mouth.
When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu leaving, he sighed with regret in his eyes.
Immediately, he showed a happy expression again.
Leader!
When Cao Cao heard the word 'alliance leader', his heart trembled. 'Alliance leader' was not a title for his advisers, it should be a title for people like Cao Cao and Wang Can. When Xun Yu said this, didn't it mean that Xun Yu had not yet surrendered?
Yuan Shao. In other words, Cao Cao still has a chance to take Xun Yu into his own hands. Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt hot in his heart.
However, the hot look in Cao Cao's eyes disappeared in a flash.
He walked to Xun Yu's seat, lifted up his robe, sat down, and ordered the soldiers outside: "Bring up the wine bottle!"
After a while, the soldier brought Cao Cao a wine bottle and placed it on the desk.
Wang Can didn't have much opinion on Cao Cao's self-sufficiency, so he laughed it off. Looking at Xun Yu's leaving figure, Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Brother Meng De, I finally met Wen Ruo, you
Wen Ruo walked in carelessly and left, tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
Cao Cao didn't blush or breath, and said with a smile: "I will punish myself with three cups of wine for disturbing your gathering!"
After speaking, Cao Cao drank three glasses of wine in a row as a sign of self-punishment.
Cao Cao's behavior made Wang Can chuckle and asked: "Brother Meng De, tell me, what's the matter?"
The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared and he sighed: "First of all, Yuan Benchu just sent me a message, saying that he was very angry today and his body has not recovered yet, so he needs to rest for a while. During this period, Yuan Benchu
They don’t know how to handle things, so I’m entrusted with the sole authority to handle the affairs of the Allies.”
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, Yuan Benchu has bad intentions!"
Cao Cao said: "I also know what Yuan Benchu means. Now that the Allied forces have been beaten by Li Jue, they have lost all their momentum and their morale is unstable. Yuan Benchu is cowardly at this time and just leaves the mess to me and asks me to clean up the mess for him. Wait.
The situation has improved, and Yuan Benchu has stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. How could such a little trick be hidden from me?"
Cao Cao sneered, his eyes flashing and a look of disdain on his face.
Wang Canxiao asked: "Since you know Yuan Benchu's plan, why do you still want to take over this mess?"
Cao Cao spread his hands and said helplessly: "I was the first to send out a message to attack Dong Zhuo, calling on officials from all walks of life to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo. Yuan Benchu entrusted the matter to me, how could I ignore it? Yuan Benchu also calculated it correctly, and I will definitely not refuse.
That's why I did this. I came to see Wei Xian this time because I wanted Wei Xian to give me some advice. Hey, the current situation is in disarray. It's difficult to get them together!"
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately fell silent.
He sneered in his heart, it was true that Cao Cao asked him to come up with the idea, but he was also seeking Wang Can's support.
Killing two birds with one stone, Cao Cao is good at planning.
Perhaps, Cao Cao had already gone to the camps of other princes, and now it was his turn. Wang Can raised the corners of his mouth, showing his white teeth, and asked with a smile: "Brother Meng De, this matter is actually not difficult to solve. Well, would you like to visit Gongsun
General, Kong Beihai, Tao Jishi, Yuan Gongdao..."
Cao Cao shook his head and said in denial: "No, am I not the first to come to you?"
As he spoke, Cao Cao felt a chill running down his spine. He was secretly glad that he got the news and came to Wang Can first, otherwise Wang Can would have exposed his thoughts.
Wang Can did not doubt Cao Cao's words and said: "Okay, brother Meng De, since Yuan Benchu asked you to take charge of the overall situation, then you should do your part and take over this matter. You come to visit me today, and then go to other officials' offices in turn.
Camp, and other officials are moved by emotion and reason, so that they can stabilize the morale of the army, strengthen training, and prepare to fight again!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned bitter: "For the first time, what is your suggestion? Is it useful?"
Unlike Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is a man of real ability. Cao Cao will know as soon as he hears Wang Can's words whether they are useful or not. The princes from all walks of life who are guarding each other are all cunning people. After being hit this time, they must be thinking about preserving their strength and will not
It was easy to go to war. Wang Can asked him to visit other princes, which sounded like it was useful, but in fact it was just to let Cao Cao and other princes make false promises and brag, which had no effect.
No matter who it is, they are not willing to fight, but want to preserve their strength.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, listen to what I have to say, don't be anxious!"
Cao Cao looked anxious and said: "First of all, the matter is urgent, we have to be urgent. If you have anything to say, say it all together. Don't hold back."
Wang Can said: "Brother Meng De, although officials from all walks of life are a little cautious, it is not impossible to gather the morale of the army. After you returned from my place, people spread the word that Dong Zhuo was cruel, and everyone who participated in the crusade against him was released.
Officials, including Dong Zhuo, will exact revenge, and after the Allies are defeated, all officials will implicate the nine tribes."
"What? Implicate nine tribes?"
Cao Cao opened his mouth wide with a look of surprise on his face.
"First of all, what's your idea?" Cao Cao was so frightened by Wang Can that he didn't even turn his head for a while.
bold?
Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart. He originally came to seek Wang Can's support, but Wang Can gave him such a bad idea. This was the first time that he encountered Wang Can spreading rumors and causing trouble like this. He didn't know whether to say that Wang Can was very resourceful and had a bright mind.
It should be said that Wang Can is very courageous and lawless.
However, when Cao Cao thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not unreasonable.
Wang Can smiled and asked: "Brother Meng De, what is this plan?"
Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he realized what Wang Can meant.
With the help of Dong Zhuo's tyranny, Cao Cao forcibly gathered the military morale of the princes from all walks of life. As long as he followed Wang Can's plan and spread the rumor that Dong Zhuo wanted to massacre the nine officials. With the power of the rumors, Cao Cao went to lobby the princes from all walks of life, and the princes were afraid.
Dong Zhuo retaliates and will definitely fight back vigorously to ensure his own safety.
A good strategy, indeed a good strategy.
Guo Jia and Xun You also nodded and smiled, showing expressions of admiration.
