What Cao Cao said made Xun Yu very surprised and angry.
At that moment, Xun Yu felt as if he had misjudged Cao Cao.
The emperor was dead and the Han Dynasty was already in decline. At this critical moment, Cao Cao's first concern was not the safety of the Han Dynasty. He was only thinking about where the imperial court should be located.
Isn't this a matter of priority?
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and then said to Cao Cao: "The imperial court is located in Pengcheng, and the emperor is young. If this situation really happens, in the future, the pottery merchants will support the emperor and command the world, and their power will be even more difficult to stop. This matter
But it is more difficult to deal with...but we still need him to fight Yuan Shao together, but we can't take action against him."
Cao Cao banged the table with his fist and said angrily: "This little thief, the pottery merchant, is so hateful. Cao wants to kill him alive!"
Xi Zhicai stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong, this matter may not be as bad as you think in the future."
Cao Cao turned to look at Xi Zhicai and said, "What is your noble opinion?"
Xi Zhicai stroked his goatee-like beard and said: "If your Majesty had only one child, the pottery merchant would definitely occupy the position of leader in the world and dominate the princes in the future. But it is a pity that your Majesty has two children."
A child, in this case, this matter may have great potential for Ming Gong."
Cao Cao turned to look at him, his eyes twinkling.
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty's other children, Liu Qiong and Empress Fu, are currently attached to Fu Wan and Dong Cheng. If what I predict is true, Fu Wan will definitely respond at this moment."
Going to the border of Jingzhou, Tao Shang once said that the emperor had a posthumous note saying that his eldest son Liu Xi would inherit the throne, but this matter was just his word and there was no strong evidence. Cao Gong was so anxious that he probably forgot about it.
This point."
Cao Cao suddenly realized what he said and said: "What Xi Gong means is that Fu Wan and Dong Cheng will definitely support Liu Qiong as emperor."
Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "This is human nature. Fu Wan will definitely act like this. There will be two days in the sky and two masters in the world. For the sake of their authentic status, Tao Shang and Jingzhou Liu family will all
Treating the other party as rebellious and fighting to the death is not a separation and alliance between princes for their own benefit. These are two opposites that are absolutely irreconcilable. The other party must be eliminated in order to achieve one's own success."
Xun Yu was shocked when he heard this and said angrily: "Xi Zhong! How dare you make such rebellious and unethical remarks."
Cao Cao raised his hand to block Xun Yu's words, and said calmly: "If it doesn't have to be like this, what the actor said is just the truth. We are just discussing the matter."
Xun Yu took a deep breath and suddenly said: "Sikong, my subordinate is ill and cannot accompany you, so I have the right to leave."
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes froze at first, but then he calmed down and said: "If Wen Ruo is ill, it's okay to go back and rest first, and he should cultivate himself well. We will discuss important matters in the future. If we want to retreat from Yuan Shao, Wen Ruo is the least of them."
Help."
Xun Yu didn't say much, he just bowed his head, turned around and left. Even Xun You secretly tugged on his sleeve without stopping, and walked out of the tent directly.
Xun Yu's sudden departure did not seem to have any impact on Cao Cao. He just said to Xi Zhicai: "Continue talking."
Xi Zhicai sighed inwardly and continued to say to Cao Cao: "If there are two emperors in the world, the conflict between Tao Shang and Jingzhou will be irreconcilable. Among these two major forces, Sikong will be invited by each other to fight for it.
Object, Sikong will be able to seize the opportunity and see the situation clearly, and he will be like a fish in water. The fisherman will benefit from the competition between the two major forces, but he will be better than before and conquer the world."
Cao Cao patted his forehead with his hand and said to himself that he was ashamed.
Because of his temporary anger, he ignored this biggest link, which blinded him. Instead, he was tricked by the pottery merchant or he was tricked by himself.
After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao woke up from a dream.
When it comes to government affairs and the overall situation, Lun Yin is sinister and vicious. Xi Zhicai may not be as good as Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others, but when it comes to cunning, Xi Zhicai can be said to be the number one under Cao Cao.
But right now, Cao Cao still has a question that needs to be asked to him.
"Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou has some abilities, he is still a man on guard, and according to Cao's opinion, he may not be the potter's opponent."
Xi Zhicai listened to Cao Cao's question and smiled: "With Fu Wan's ability, I may not be able to get Liu Biao's support when I lead the second prince to Jingzhou, but there is one person who can't help but persuade Liu Biao, and it's not just Liu Biao.
, the Liu family who cannot protect Xichuan are also easily persuaded by him."
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, thought about it carefully for a while, and finally realized it.
"Could it be Liu Bei who you are talking about?"
Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile and said: "Liu Bei has been on the move, and has been under the command of Liu Yan, Gongsun Zan and others many times. Although he has failed many times, he has never been discouraged. Some time ago, he was even accepted by the emperor. Sikong
I had come into contact with this person during the battle against Dong Zhuo, so Sikong thinks, can this person become a successful person?"
Cao Cao thought carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Liu Bei is a capable man. If he is here, he may be able to create some climate in the south by jointly supporting the second prince with Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others.
.”
Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "The Liu clan has always been like scattered sand, working independently. Now the only clan members left in the Han Dynasty are Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and the one who just inherited the Xichuan foundation from Liu Yan.
Liu Zhang and others, if this matter had not happened, they might have continued to govern independently, but with the support of the new emperor, these Liu clans might make some noise."
…
The pottery merchant returned to his headquarters, and that night he ordered people to rush to Pengcheng, Xuzhou, asking you to draw up an edict on behalf of the "Prince" Liu Xi, reprimanding Yuan Shao for his crime of treason and regicide, and informing the world. At the same time, he also asked all the ministries to be prepared.
, assemble the army to prepare for war, and prepare to fight Yuan Shao.
Just when everyone was busy fighting against the powerful enemy in the north, Guo Jia made a new move.
He sent his confidants in the school affairs office to secretly write a secret letter for him and find a way to secretly deliver it to Xun Yu in Cao Ying.
After an incident during the day, Xun Yu could not sleep for half the night. He walked back and forth in his tent, constantly thinking about what happened during the day. The more he thought about it, the more anxious and helpless he became.
But at this time, his men said they had caught a spy who wanted to see him.
If it were the original situation, Xun Yu would not pay any attention to this so-called meeting with him.
But tonight, he was anxious. For some reason, he met this person by some strange coincidence.
This person simply handed over Guo Jia's autographed letter to Xun Yu without saying a word.
There wasn't much language in the letter, just five big characters that were bright and clear. Xun Yu seemed to be so shaken that he couldn't even open his eyes, and his heart was constantly stirring.
