Section 1: Sincere Cooperation

However, in the face of Liu Xie and Dong Cheng, who wanted to be pro-government, Wu Shuo slandered in his heart. There are thousands of men and women in the world who have been in the world for more than ten years, but Cai Anzhen has only one. Of course, this can't be said in front of Liu Xie. Wu Shuo, who has served by the side of the Son of Heaven for many years, knows Liu Xie's character very well. The upheaval of his childhood experience made Liu Xie form a strong and sensitive character. Overstimulating the young Son of Heaven will only backfire. Therefore, after Wu Shuo pondered for a while, he planned to persuade Liu Xie in another way, "Your Majesty." Sun Ziyun, the major event of the country of soldiers. There is no tiger talisman in his hand, and there are no soldiers and horses. Even if it is pro-government, what can it do? ”

Wu Shuo's rhetorical question hit Liu Xie's door. No matter how unconvinced he is, he can't ignore the weakness of not having military power. Just like before, Cao Cao directly executed two court officials without saying hello in Guandu. Liu Xie was certainly angry. However, due to the pressure of Yuan Shaozheng's troops, and the two civil officials were indeed suspected of escaping, they had to pinch their noses and ignore Cao Cao's arrogance. Even Dong Cheng, who had supported Liu Xie before, had to shut up stupidly at this time. Seeing this, Wu Shuo hit the railway while it was hot, "Gou Jian lay down and tasted the gall, and then killed Wu." His Majesty is just and weak, Cao Cao is nearly fifty years old, why should he be in a hurry? ”

Wu Shuo's heartfelt words reminded Liu Xie of Cai Ji's deeds he heard from Li Da in his early years. Yes, when people like Gou Jian and Cai Ji have patience, how can he, as the Son of Heaven, not be able to endure the anger of the Han Dynasty for a while. Thinking of this, Liu Xie picked up the piece of music again, gritted his teeth and said...... "Come on, I will worship Cao Cao as the prime minister." ”

And just when Liu Xie gritted his teeth and made "concessions". Wu Shuo raised his hand and interrupted, "Your Majesty is slow." Now is not the time to pay respects. ”

"What does Wu Qing mean by this?" Liu Xie looked at Wu Shuo puzzled and asked.

Wu Shuo smiled meaningfully, "The minister thinks that His Majesty can first make Cai Anzhen's performance public, and after Cao Cao responds, it is not too late to push the boat down the river." ”

Although Liu Xie was offered to be a puppet in the deep palace, after all, he could be regarded as fighting wits and courage with Cao Cao for many years. After listening to what Wu Shuo said at this moment, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Truly. A good decision to make concessions does not mean that concessions should be made immediately. is the so-called sky-high asking price, and the money is paid back on the ground. Sealing Cao Cao as prime minister is just the bottom line. How to touch this bottom line depends on how Cao Cao behaves. In addition, without Wu Shuo's explanation, Liu Xie can also imagine what kind of controversy this matter will cause in the court once it is made public. And Cao Cao and Cai Ji will also be pushed to the forefront because of this. Thinking about this, Liu Xie couldn't help but nod knowingly and praised, "Wonderful! ”

Dong Cheng sat on the side and watched the Son of Heaven and Wu Shuo sing and harmonize, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. In the eyes of outsiders, he and Wu Shuo are the most important courtiers of the Son of Heaven. But Dong Cheng knew in his heart that Wu Shuo's influence on the Son of Heaven was far greater than that of his uncle. So whenever he has the opportunity, he always spares no effort to compete with Wu Shuo in secret, but the result is often that Wu Shuo is superior. Today's situation is no exception. However, no matter how unconvinced Dong Cheng was, he had to admit that some of Wu Shuo's statements were indeed reasonable. For example, the lack of military power is the biggest weakness of their voters.

It is said that in the early years, Liu Xie also used the 500 soldiers and horses borrowed by Cai Ji to expand a royal forest army. But since the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao began to reduce this army step by step. Later, even Li Da, who had always been highly used by Liu Xie, was transferred to Cai Ji. Now the Imperial Forest Army in Xudu Palace City is Cao Cao's minions from top to bottom, and Liu Xieneng's command is only those inner servants. Therefore, as soon as Wu Shuo mentioned military power, Liu Xie immediately softened.

However, Dong Cheng is not as "pessimistic" as Wu Shuo and Liu Xie, in his opinion, Cao Mengde is not the only prince in the world who holds military power. Even if the Son of Heaven is currently unable to form a personal army under Cao Cao's nose, he can still summon other princes for the use of the imperial court. Liu Biao, Ma Teng, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce are worse than Cao Cao. Even Cai Ji doesn't necessarily take Cao Cao's head as the horse. At least judging from the many rumors coming from Qi Ying, Cai Ji did not take Cao Cao's second son seriously. Of course, among these princes, Dong Cheng is most optimistic about Ma Teng and Liu Biao. Ma Teng and Dong Cheng are both from Liangzhou, and the two already have some friendship, so it is needless to say that they have some friendship. And Liu Biao has a base of thousands of miles, with more than 100,000 armor, and is the most capable of fighting with Cao Cao today. There is a way to be a golden horn and silver edge grass belly, Cao Cao occupies the land of the four battles, once Liu Biao and Ma Teng are instigated to attack Cao Cao in the south and west, the other princes around will also follow the group to attack it, and Cao Cao will not be able to parry. Anyway, this kind of trick to drive away the wolf and gobble, Dong Cheng is not the first time to play. As long as you can control the princes in your hands, why worry about not having military power.

Thinking of this, Dong Cheng subconsciously pinched a letter in his sleeve. This letter is written by Liu Biao. Although the content of the letter was just an ordinary greeting, Dong Cheng could see at a glance that this was Liu Biao using his relationship to buy from the Son of Heaven. However, at this time, Dong Cheng did not hand over the letter to Liu Xie, let alone mention that Liu said good. Because under Wu Shuo's inspiration, Dong Cheng seemed to have planned a huge plan in his heart. And before this plan took shape, he didn't plan to reveal the slightest information to the Son of Heaven, so as not to be stolen by Wu Shuo again.

Wu Shuo didn't know that at the intersection between him and Liu Xie, Dong Cheng was secretly planning a shocking plan. He was very glad that Dong Cheng did not continue to instigate the Son of Heaven to govern this time. To be honest, Wu Shuo didn't have a good impression of relatives like Dong Cheng, thinking that he was too eager for quick success and quick profit, and his mind was not right. It's just that now the ministers in the court who support the Son of Heaven are really limited, and Liu Xie loves Concubine Dong very much, so Wu Shuo has no choice but to reluctantly accept Dong Cheng as an ally. Therefore, seeing that Dong Cheng had been silent, Wu Shuo politely asked him, "Does General Dong have any advice?" ”

Dong Cheng, who came back to his senses, hurriedly flattered, "Doctor Wu's plan is very clever, and Your Majesty can act according to it." ”

Seeing that Wu Shuo and Dong Cheng were working so sincerely, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing loudly, "With the two Qing families working together, why don't I worry about the great cause and the Han Dynasty not prospering." ”
