Half an hour later, Xun Yu came to the Changxin Palace, when he saw Cao Cao, although he was a little surprised, but more still happy, Liu Xie noticed this detail, he also knew that in fact, these two people regarded each other as confidants.

Now the pillars of the Han Dynasty, the pillars of the Wenwu Palace, are the two of them.

"Sikong-sama! The lower officials are polite. Xun Yu bowed as he spoke, Cao Cao hurriedly got up and supported him, "Wen Ruo, don't be so polite!" I still have to apologize to you, the good day has to be brought forward. ”

"Sikong-sama is gracious."

Xun Yu smiled, at this time, he quietly glanced at Liu Xie, with an inquiry, after Liu Xie nodded quietly, Xun Yu was relieved, "You can come back, it is the happiest for the lower officials, I haven't seen you for so long, Lord Sikong has lost some weight." ”

"It's inevitable to fight outside, it's not in the way, I'll come back after a while, and it's good to raise it."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu was stunned and looked at him with a frown, "What does Lord Sikong mean by this?" Is there still a war going to war in the imperial court? Or is it that the war in Hebei has not yet ended? ”

"How can I say it......"

Cao Cao paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Look at Wen Ruo, I don't know what to say when I see you, let's sit down first, sit down and talk!" ”

Cao Cao pulled Xun Yu to sit beside him, Liu Xie hurriedly greeted Liu Jin and other eunuchs outside the door, and offered refreshments and fruits, after everything was arranged, Cao Cao probe handed over the wooden box containing the embroidery pieces to Xiahou Xuan, "Yuan let a few of you go out with your things first, tell the others, go home and have a good rest, and gather in the Changxin Hall early tomorrow morning." This thing is given to you by His Majesty's heart. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The one-eyed Xiahou Tang was still so indifferent as before, and after bowing to Liu Xie, he left the Changxin Hall with Xu Chu and others, but Liu Xie noticed that although everyone went out, Xu Chu did not leave, but stopped outside the Changxin Palace, and said to Liu Jin angrily: "Go, get a Hu bed for a certain person, order tea and snacks, and wait for Lord Sikong here!" ”

"Yes, yes."

Liu Jin didn't dare to say more, so he hurried to do it, whether it was in the novel or in the historical records, Xu Chu was Cao Cao's most loyal guard, and after Dian Wei died, Cao Cao handed over all his safety to him.

Waiting for everything to settle, Xun Yu looked at the Fu who happened to be in the column, and suddenly smiled, "Lord Guozhan is also here today, this is great, to put it too much, the three people in the column today can be regarded as the ministers of my Han Palace." ”

"Xun Lingjun has been elevated to the top of the ranks."

He said this with good intentions, and raised Fu Wan's identity, but Fu Wan was very self-aware, so he didn't dare to agree at all, and hurriedly refused, "Xia Guan is just an idler, where you can be so high, don't, don't!" ”

"Ugh."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Cao Cao, "Lord Guozheng is friends with me and Wen Ruo, why should you be so humble?" Before, it wasn't all the national wars who asked to leave the dynasty and seek to be idle, but they pushed such a big country onto me and Wen Ruo, and it was still not moral enough to say that the national war. ”

"I, this ......"

After Fu finished for a while, he didn't know what to say, and Cao Cao laughed even more, and directly made a decision that shocked everyone.

"National war, today, the imperial court is different from the past, the domestic war is not over, the thieves are everywhere, and the existing Guishan provokes me to go to the Heavenly Empire, this is a critical moment for the imperial court, you can't be idle anymore."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then turned to Liu Xie, who was a little confused, "Your Majesty, please play, reply to the position of the general of the national war and the honor of the three divisions, and please transfer the Yingzhou soldiers to the command of the national war." ”

"Huh?!"

Whether it was Liu Xie or Fu Wan, including Xun Yu, they didn't expect that Cao Cao would push Fu Wan back to the position of the top of the country with one mouth, and also handed over the Yingzhou Army to him.

Don't look at the small number of Yingzhou troops, there are only more than 3,000 troops without command at the moment, but this is also an unprecedented situation.

And after Xun Yu heard this, his face was a little more hesitant, he knew very well that Cao Cao was about to fight when he mentioned Guishuang at this moment.

It turns out that this is what he meant when he said "after a while".

War?

Xun Yu did not agree with this proposal, first of all, Liu Xie had actually suppressed the Kushan State Mission at that time, and the face of the Han was not provoked in any way, and secondly, it was also because the current state finances were not good, and once the war started, the economy would fall and the people would suffer.

"Wen Ruo, don't say anything, I know what you think." Cao Cao saw through his thoughts, blocked Xun Yu's mouth in advance, and then slowly shook his head under the gaze of everyone.

"Sikong-sama, what are you?"

Liu Xie asked.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, "Your Majesty, Wen Ruo, Guozhan, I know that you each have different ideas, but about the matter of the Guishan Kingdom, I brought it up after thinking about it in advance, Wei Sudeva has coveted my Hexi Corridor and other places for many years, I have sent people to mediate with them before, but the effect is not very good, and this time, they dared to send an envoy to cross the border without summoning, this is a provocation to the Han Dynasty, and now the imperial court has just drawn Hebei, and those anti-thieves in the whole country are watching the movements of the imperial court, They don't know who the ministers will fight next, and the use of soldiers can also test them. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Xun Yu looked at him solemnly, "Test them, what is there to test for that group of people." ”

"Wen Ruo, they all call themselves Han and fight, and regard me as a traitor who coerces the princes of the Son of Heaven, then good, I will take my soldiers to conquer the enemy country for the Han Dynasty, what will they do at this time? There are no more than three possibilities, send troops to help, watch from the sidelines, and take advantage of the opportunity. The first two choices, after I conquer Guishan, can be open to them and appease them, and once any of these people dare to take the opportunity to use troops against the imperial court...... Hmph, when I return to my master, it will be the moment of annihilation! ”

Cao Cao's words did not have any emotional fluctuations, but in his ears, he was so resolute and exciting!

Sure enough, hearing is false, seeing is believing, if he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, Liu Xie would never have believed that in Cao Cao's heart, there would be such a passion for the court.

Of course, Liu Xie, who was born as a historian, also has some opinions about Cao Cao, for example, before the Red Cliff War, he wrote a poem with a horizontal lance, which is very worthy of scrutiny.

Qi Kuo talks about the feast, thinking of the old grace.

In the second half of the sentence, Liu Xie believes that when Cao Cao was alive, he never claimed the title of emperor and replaced the expression of the imperial court.

Cao Cao's words were heart-wrenching and moving, and the three people present were silent. Look at me, I'll look at you, after a long day of silence, Xun Yu spoke.

At this time, only he dared to express his worries to Cao Cao, "Lord Sikong, if you say this, Wen Ruo understands and supports it, if you really start a war, it will be a waste of courage, and I will also guarantee that you will never have any problems with the expenses on the front line, logistics, and Wen Ruo can make a military order." But...... If the imperial court sends troops now, when the time comes, someone really takes advantage of the chaos, and the imperial court still has enough troops and financial resources to resist and counterattack? ”
