Chapter 258 Acting as a Program
Seeing that the Son of Heaven asked, Liu Ping said unhurriedly: "Minister, agree with Cao Gong, conquer Xuzhou!" ”
Hearing that Liu Ping supported Cao Cao, the ministers were in an uproar again, they didn't expect that the polite Liu Ping would be so belligerent.
The war in Huainan has just been extinguished, and he has strongly conquered Xuzhou.
Kong Rong stood up and said hurriedly: "Liu Gong is at the top of the 'Yuedan Review' list, and he is also a reasonable person who reads well.
Don't you hear the truth that "soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored"?
Arbitrarily use swords, and the country is unknown. ”
"Yes, Liu Bei is a descendant of the Han family after all, and admits that the current imperial court, although it has secretly used tricks, but fortunately it has not caused a big disaster, and it is not possible to send troops to conscript."
"I heard that Yuan Shao in the north has already done something wrong, Cao Gong should focus on how to resist Yuan Shao, how can he be distracted by Liu Bei?"
The ministers were opposed, and Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven glanced at each other, feeling quite a headache.
If the ministers are not convinced, the plan to lure the snake out of the hole will not be implemented.
But what these ministers said is not unreasonable, how can it be so easy to persuade?
At this time, Liu Ping stood up, glanced at the ministers, and said: "It's not that I have to advise Xuzhou to move troops, it's just that Yuan Shao is in the north and is eyeing my Xudu."
I am afraid that all the princes know that sooner or later there will be a battle between the imperial court and Yuan Shao.
At this time, if Liu Bei is not removed, if Wang Shi and Yuan Jun fight together, Liu Bei will suddenly send cold arrows from behind, who can stop them?
In the meantime, all the people are in danger, and the public is in danger. ”
Liu Ping's words are not unfounded, during the battle of Guandu in history, Liu Bei did offer advice to Liu Biao, and when Cao Jun had no time to take care of it, he sent troops to attack Xu Du.
It's just that Liu Biao has no ambitions and didn't follow Liu Bei's advice.
Otherwise, it's really hard to say who will lose and who will win in the battle of Guandu.
As soon as Liu Ping spoke, all the ministers were silent.
Yes, at this time, if Liu Bei's unstable factor is not swept away, when the imperial court raises all its forces to fight with Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Bei stabs him in the back again, and attacks from the north and south, then the imperial army has no possibility of winning at all.
The Son of Heaven saw that the ministers were silent, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, thinking that Liu Qing's work was really unusual.
"Since Zhuqing has no opinion, the matter of conquering Xuzhou has been decided, and Cao Qing will personally lead the army and choose an auspicious day to go out."
"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, the courtier's will, the day after tomorrow to send troops," Cao Cao hurriedly said.
"Okay, I'll see you off the day after tomorrow."
……
Xu Du, in the secret room of a deep mansion compound.
A lamp like a bean can only illuminate a few feet around the table, and in the distance is the darkness that you can't see your fingers.
"Cao Cao actually wants to personally lead a large army to slaughter all the Xuande Gong and Xuzhou scholars, if this news reaches Xuzhou, I am afraid that the whole city will be united."
In the darkness, an old man let out a sneer.
"What you say is extremely true!"
In front of the table where the oil lamp was placed, a guest in a Confucian shirt nodded, and then his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "It's just that there is something unclear below, so Cao Cao's subordinates are not without masterminds, can this reason not be understood?"
The whole city of Xuzhou is united, if the Cao army can't attack it with all its might, and Yuan Shao kills him from behind, the Cao family will fall into a place of no return. ”
The old man in the dark did not answer, and after the guest said, this matter was indeed a little strange.
Cao Cao's subordinates Guo Jiaxun and Cheng Yu are all well-known in the world, not to mention that there is also an unpredictable son-in-law Liu Ping, how can Cao Cao do such a thing that cares about the past and the future?
After a long time, he said: "That's it, we are only responsible for delivering the news to Xuande Gong, as for whether it is true or false, let him distinguish it himself."
The letter on the table was immediately sent to Xuzhou without delay. ”
"No!"
Keqing agreed, took the letter and pushed open a small door next to it, and the small door turned out to be part of the secret room.
The lights were still dim, and a sturdy man dressed in ordinary people's clothes had been waiting for a long time.
"Send this letter to Xuzhou, you know the rules, right?"
The Confucian Keqing said in a cold tone: "Do things according to the program, but you can be sure that you are foolproof, and you will never show your feet." ”
"How many more times do I have to do something like this?"
"I promise, this is the last time, as long as it is completed, the money will already be prepared for you, enough for you to go to Shu to be a rich man, and live the rest of your life with a beautiful wife and concubine."
"I hope you don't break your word."
The man took the letter and carried it in his arms, pushed open another door and went out.
It was noon, and although the sun was shining, the weather was unusually cold.
The man slipped out of the corner door alertly, and it was a secluded alley, and there was no one there.
Walking through the alley and coming to the street, he blended into the bustling flow of people in Xudu.
Ordinary people dressed like this have no less than tens of thousands in Xudu City, and it is true that no one notices him.
The man stepped out of the south gate, and walked no more than two miles along the main road, when he suddenly saw a servant who had set up a card to check, and had already captured a young man dressed as a slave, and there was a horse beside him.
The servant argued anxiously: "I am just going out of the city on the orders of the owner, why are you arresting me?" ”
"You've made a mistake."
"What did I do?"
Although the slave was in a hurry to defend himself, the servant couldn't help but say that he had already tied the slave strongly.
Seeing this scene, the man couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that these officials were really catching people on horseback?
The man patted his chest, made sure that the letter was okay, lowered his head and followed the sparse people towards the checkpoint.
Xudu is a county town that suddenly became the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there are not so many people living in the city, resulting in many people outside the city.
However, the people on foot were not questioned by the officials.
After passing through the checkpoint, the man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate that he "did things according to the program", otherwise he would have been arrested if he came out of Xu Capital on horseback.
The guest secretary arranged so carefully, this trip should be foolproof.
He took a big stride, walked more than ten miles, and came across an ordinary village.
As agreed, he found an empty house with a horse tethered to it......
This is what they call "programming", and whenever they come out of the gate of Xudu on a horse, it is a very conspicuous thing.
So every time he went to deliver a letter, it was the guest who was here to prepare the horses for him.
As for how Keqing transported the horse out of the city, he didn't know, he was just a messenger, and he was not qualified to inquire about these things.
He mounted his horse and galloped southeast.
When the sun was about to set, he had already entered the territory of Chenliu, and then he walked through the country of Liang was Peiguo, which was already the border of Xuzhou, so his mission ended smoothly.
Just as he was about to put his heart in his stomach, he turned around the mountain col, and suddenly a group of soldiers appeared in the middle of the mountain road ahead.
The one at the head, with a cruel smile on his face, is full of favors.
"I've been waiting here for a long time, and I'm not going to get off my horse and get captured?" Man Pet said in a cold tone.
