Chapter 263: The Wind Rises

The book is picked up again.

Li Zhi is leisurely drinking tea in Cao Cao's mansion, as the saying goes, "do your best, obey the destiny of heaven," by now, everything has been prepared, everything that should be done has been done, and it will be up to God to decide whether it will succeed or not.

While he was leisurely sipping tea, Cao Cao hurriedly walked in, shouting as he walked: "Brother Xian, the matter is done!" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly got up, walked to Cao Cao's side quickly, and asked with a surprised face, "Duke Lu has been arrested?" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "Exactly, this morning, Lu Gong was arrested as soon as he messed around." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao sneered: "Hmph! Sure enough, as the virtuous brother said, His Majesty is a fake today! ”

Cao Cao was still a little frightened at this time, and he went to him this morning and saw the ugliness of today's "Your Majesty".

Originally, Cao Cao still held on to the hope of what happened, hoping that Li Zhi would guess wrong, but after seeing the ugliness of His Majesty this morning, he was completely dead.

Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Li Zhi knew that he believed him, so he asked jokingly, "Brother Meng De believes it now, right?" ”

In the past, Li Zhi could see that Cao Cao would be suspicious of what he said.

Although Li Zhi didn't know what happened in the early dynasty today, it must have been the fake Liu Hong who made a fool of himself.

"Alas......" Hearing Li Zhi's banter, Cao Cao sighed and nodded: "If you believe it, how can you not believe it?!"

No matter how confused Your Majesty is today, he will not panic when he encounters a trivial matter. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao shook his head inexplicably: "Brother Wei, I really didn't expect that Zhang Rang to have such a big courage to dare to make people think that it was true."

Isn't he afraid that after His Majesty is rescued, he will settle accounts with him?! ”

Looking at the angry Cao Cao, Li Zhi shook his head slightly and did not speak.

By now, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that since Zhang Rang has replaced His Majesty, His Majesty may have .......

However, this is really not suitable to say, after all, until the end, no one dares to say anything about His Majesty's life and death.

After thinking of this, Li Zhi shook his head and stopped thinking, and changed the topic: "Today morning, how does Zhang Rang view the matter of immortality?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his spirits perked up, and he looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile: "Everything is as expected by the virtuous brother, Zhang Rang is very yearning for immortality.

It can be seen that he really believes in this matter, and the plan of the virtuous brother has succeeded! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Li Zhi.

During the time that Cao Cao and Li Zhi intersected, he had never seen Li Zhi's strategy fail.

No matter what it is, as long as Li knows a plan, he will make every effort and never miss.

This method of temple calculation made Cao Cao yearn for it very much, and he also imagined that Li Zhi was clever.

"Good!" Li Zhi didn't care about Cao Cao's gaze, he applauded loudly when he heard that Zhang Rang had been tricked, and walked around the hall excitedly.

Then, Li Zhi's footsteps stopped, looked at Cao Cao with excitement on his face and said, "That's it, I hope Brother Meng De will send a letter to that Jean."

He said: 'Three days later, Ben Hou will be in the grove in the east of the city, waiting for Zhang Gong to discuss immortality'. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned: "Isn't it a little too anxious?"

Wouldn't it be better if I could wait a few days to hang off Zhang Rang's appetite and then send a message to him? ”

Li Zhi shook his head, sighed, pointed in the direction of the palace with a folding fan and said, "Why don't you know that if you slow down this matter, the effect will be better?"

However, I really don't want Lu Gong to be punished.

After Zhang Rang captured Lu Gong, in order to force him to find out his whereabouts, he would inevitably torture Lu Gong.

Lu Gong is an upright and loyal person, and even under the great punishment, he will not tell his whereabouts.

However, he is already old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to endure the punishment.

If Lu Gong has three longs and two shorts, how can he be at peace in his heart? ”

"Brother Xian's words are wrong!" As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Cao Cao shook his head and retorted: "How can you spare your life if you want to do great things?

Your Majesty's comfort is related to the rise and fall of the Great Han, how can you risk it because of one person?

Presumably, when Lu Gong agreed to the plan of the virtuous brother, he was already ready to repay the country with death.

Brother Xian's actions like this will not only not make Lu Gong happy, but will humiliate him!

There can be no mistake in rescuing His Majesty, and it is not too cautious to be cautious.

Presumably, Lu Gong was very willing to exchange the pain of flesh and skin for an extra chance of winning. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi was a little silent, although he knew that what Cao Cao said was reasonable, but he still stubbornly shook his head: "Brother Meng De doesn't need to persuade him anymore.

Zai Xia admits that what Brother Meng De said is reasonable, but he really can't bear to let Lu Gong suffer this torture

。 ”

Saying that, seeing that Cao Cao was still going to persuade him, Li Zhi waved his hand: "Brother Meng De doesn't need to say much, it's so decided!" ”

"Alas......" Cao Cao sighed: "Brother Xian is so ambitious!" ”

Li Zhi shook his head, he didn't care about Cao Cao's words, in the past, when Li Zhi was humble and powerful, he did many things that he couldn't help himself.

Now, he finally has some self-preservation, how can he act like before?

Now, Li Zhi doesn't want to do anything that he is ashamed of, so he will insist on launching the plan early.

Seeing the unhappy look on Cao Cao's face, Li Zhi changed the topic and asked, "Brother Meng De, this morning is above, then Yuan Fengke was suspicious?" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's change of topic, Cao Cao no longer held on to it, and said in a kind manner: "Everything is as expected by the virtuous brother, and after the three of Lu Gong finished that scene, Yuan Feng was indeed suspicious.

But he didn't say much, he probably didn't believe the speculation in his heart.

After all, this matter is too ridiculous, when the virtuous brother told his brother about it, didn't the brother not believe it?

Even before today, he was still skeptical. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully, and then he seemed to think of something, looked at Cao Cao and hurriedly asked, "What about He Jin?" What is the reaction of He Jin to the top of the morning today? ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao thought for a while, then shook his head in surprise: "This morning, the general did not react, as if he was not aware of the matter. ”

Speaking of which, Cao Cao also noticed something strange.

No matter how stupid He Jin is, he should have seen that something was wrong with His Majesty, how could he not react at all?

When Li Zhi heard this, he nodded knowingly: "Sure enough!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian, have you figured it out?" ”

"Hmm" Li Zhi heard this, nodded, squinted his eyes slightly, and pointed his chin with a folding fan and said: "Your Majesty must have already known about the transfer, He Jin!" ”

"Impossible!" As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, Cao Cao retorted loudly: "If He Jin knows about this, why don't you find out about it?"

He Jin and Zhang Rang are political enemies, as long as He Jin finds out about this matter, Zhang Rang will inevitably die without a place to be buried!

This is a great opportunity to eradicate Zhang Rang, why would He Jin abandon it? ”

"Alas!" Li Zhi sighed, walked to the door of the hall, looked at the scenery in the distance, and said softly: "Everything is power, ** trouble." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Zhi pointed in the direction of the palace with a folding fan, and said expressionlessly: "Presumably, He Jin has reached an agreement with Zhang Rang to jointly support the prince's debate."

Only in this way will He Jin turn a blind eye to this matter.

All He Jin thought about was to assist the prince to ascend to the throne, so that he could dominate the world.

Zhang Rang's move did not hinder his goal, why did he find out about it?

Besides, since Empress He poisoned Wang Meiren, His Majesty has gradually drifted away from He Jin.

If His Majesty is killed, it will be a good thing for He Jin, and in this way, it is even less likely that he will find out about this matter. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, after thinking for a while, he asked puzzledly: "Even so, but He Jin and Zhang Rang are political enemies, how can they form an alliance?"

Isn't He Jin afraid of Zhang Rang's backtrack? ”

"He's really not afraid" Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Zhang Rang's transfer of His Majesty is a big deal, after He Jin knew about it, he took Zhang Rang's death hole, how could he be afraid of Zhang Rang's rebellion?"

As long as He Jin used this matter to force Zhang Rang and establish the prince as the crown prince, the overall situation would be decided.

When this fake majesty was still alive, Zhang Rang was held by He Jin, and he would definitely not dare to abolish the prince.

After this fake majesty returns to heaven, the prince will naturally become the emperor, and when the time comes, He Jin will not be afraid of Zhang Rang. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's face changed: "It's not good! I'm afraid that something has changed in this matter! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly walked to his side and asked urgently, "What's the change?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head with an ugly face: "This matter is still uncertain, let's assume that He Jin has formed an alliance with Zhang Rang, then I am afraid that today's strategy will be seen through by He Jin!"

Although He Jin has no wisdom, there are many wise people under his command, and they will definitely notice the strangeness of today, and when the time comes, how can He Jin not meddle in this matter? ”

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Cao Cao nodded solemnly: "Indeed, He Jin is the biggest change, can the virtuous brother have a wonderful way to solve this matter?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he wandered back and forth in the hall, thinking about how to crack it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zhi didn't come up with any clue, because the matter happened in a hurry.

Moreover, the strength of their side is the same

The strength of the other side is too far apart.

The alliance between He Jin and Zhang Rang is too great, and it is very difficult to deal with them.

With only this bit of bargaining chips in Li Zhi's hand, I am afraid it will be difficult to have any impact on them.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi was even more embarrassed, and after he sighed, he said to Cao Cao: "He Jin and Zhang Rong have a huge alliance.

If we only rely on this little power in our hands, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist it.

No matter how good the plan is, it can't make up for the absolute strength, and this matter is difficult! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Since they can form an alliance, why can't we form an alliance?"

We can temporarily form an alliance with the family to fight against Zhang Rang and the others. ”

Li Zhi shook his head: "I have also thought about the alliance with the family, but it is difficult to work in this matter. ”

Cao Cao was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

"Alas..."Li Zhi sighed and said, "We have no interest in the family, even if we are reluctant to form an alliance with it, we are inseparable.

Zhang Rang and He Jin each take what they need, one of them needs to stabilize his position, and the other needs to support his nephew to ascend to the throne, so they can become allies.

And we are different from them, what the family wants is military power, and we can't give the family military power.

Now that His Majesty is trapped, the affairs of military power are all in the hands of the general, and the family does not form an alliance with the general, for us and others, it is already a blessing to invite heaven, how dare I ask for anything else. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said thoughtfully: "Can we promise him in the name of His Majesty, 'If His Majesty gets out of trouble, he can get military power'."

After His Majesty got out of trouble, I will push the matter away, and presumably those families will not dare to embarrass Your Majesty. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he glanced at Cao Cao blankly, and said angrily: "Brother Meng De thinks about the family too simply, right?"

There are many capable people in the family, how can they not see through such a trick?

The family is not a fool, when His Majesty was not trapped in the past, he did not agree with the family to control the military power, could it be that if he was trapped once, he would change his mind?

Moreover, His Majesty's ability to go back on his word is famous all over the world, and the family will not believe him. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao sighed and said impatiently: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?" You can't ignore this, right? ”

Li Zhi looked at the anxious Cao Cao and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, there is a solution to this matter." ”

"I knew it!" When Cao Cao heard this, he slapped Li Zhi on the shoulder, and said with a blaming face: "Why is Brother Xian always so mysterious?!"

If you have a way, don't you say it earlier?!

Hurry up! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you for my brother! ”

Li Zhi rubbed his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, why is Brother Meng De so anxious?"

This matter is urgent, and there are still some omissions in the next way to think of it, so I hesitated. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was even more itchy, and hurriedly asked: "What is the solution, come quickly, and let Brother Wei give you details." ”

Li Zhi did not shirk, and after nodding, he pointed in the direction of the General's Mansion, and said loudly: "The solution is in the General." ”

Cao Cao asked puzzledly: "He Jin and Zhang Rang are allies, how can there be a solution to him?" ”

"Allies?" Li Zhi sneered and said disdainfully: "The so-called allies are just a combination of interests.

Once there is a conflict of interest between them, the alliance they have formed will inevitably break in an instant.

Allies are the most reliable and at the same time the least reliable.

When interests are combined, allies are the most reliable people, and they can live and die for their allies.

But when their interests conflicted, they were the first to betray.

As long as we can give He Jin the same or more benefits than Zhang Rang brought him, He Jin will inevitably backhand and push Zhang Rang into the abyss! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, after thinking for a long time, he tidied up his clothes and bowed respectfully to Li Zhi: "Be taught." ”

Seeing this, Li Zhi helped Cao Cao up and asked, "Brother Meng De, what are you doing?" Why did you make a big gift?! Hurry up. ”

Cao Cao straightened up from the goodness and said with a smile: "The things that the virtuous brother said about these covenants are really wonderful, and they have made the brother gain a lot, so there is this gift." ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao's words changed: "What interests does the virtuous brother want to use to break the covenant between He Jin and Zhang Rang?" ”

Li Zhi looked in the direction of the palace and sighed: "I still have to borrow the name of Your Majesty." ”

Saying that, Li Zhi saw that Cao Cao was going to continue to ask, shook his head and interrupted: "Other things, let's talk about it after I go down to see He Jin......
