Chapter 100: Calculation
Cao Cao's words surprised Yun Bin and the others, Guan Yu stretched his brows, and said pretending not to care: "Brother Cao, aren't you afraid that we will tell Cai Lao everything you said today?" You must know that the three of us brothers can only make a fortune by relying on Cai Lao. β
After Cao Cao took a sip of tea, he said with a relaxed expression: "It doesn't matter! I just want to give you my handle, otherwise you wouldn't be at ease with me Cao Cao. What do you think? Can you tell me what the hell you're going to do now? As long as you don't endanger the Han River, I, Cao Cao, will not hinder you, on the contrary, I may be able to become a partner. β
Yun Bin looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's nervous mood, and suddenly showed a smile and applauded: "It's worthy of Cao Cao, I, Yun Zihan, am convinced, I didn't expect such a sophisticated plan to be seen through by you alone, amazing!" But Brother Cao, you are wrong about one thing, we are not doing this to achieve any purpose, but to cover up some things. β
Zhang Fei was stunned, and whispered to Cao Cao with his ear: "Third brother, what do you say?" How can we tell an outsider about our plans? If he tells us, won't we be caught in an urn? The third brother is confused! In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to kill him. Cao Cao didn't know what Zhang Fei said, but he could guess what Zhang Fei said, and he was not the slightest dissatisfied, but praised: "Brother Zhang is right, Zihan!" Aren't you afraid that telling me about this outsider so easily will lead to death? It stands to reason that you shouldn't be so easy to confess before I say the evidence! Do you have the intention to kill me Guan Yu pulled down Zhang Fei steadily, and said in a deep voice: "The third brother has always been steady and thoughtful, how could he not think of the problem you said?" Don't make a mess, just leave it to the third brother to deal with. If he really wanted to kill Brother Cao, I'm afraid that the third brother would have lured Brother Cao to a place where no one was around. β
Zhang Fei looked at Yun Bin's calm face depressedly, and sat back helplessly. Yun Bin nodded and said, "What Big Brother said is right, I didn't mean to kill Big Brother Cao, on the contrary, I would like to know what Big Brother Cao is using the patriarch to send forward?" Brother Cao, since you dare to face the three of my brothers alone, if I don't tell the truth, I'm sorry for your guts. Seriously, Brother Cao deserves to be known as Cao Agui, and he dares to deceive our three brothers with false evidence, you are the first and last person. β
"Hahahaγγγ those who know me, Yun Zihan also! That's right, I really don't have any evidence to confirm that you set fire to Cai Lao's study, I just suspected you, so I came over to deceive you curiously, but I didn't want Zihan to see my intention, and at the same time told me this secret, thank you Zihan for your trust, can you tell me the reason? Cao Cao said with a wry smile and helplessly.
Yun Bin exhaled and said secretly: "Cao Cao is really as said in history, suspicious by nature, capricious, and inscrutable, sometimes when people think Cao Cao knows something, in fact, Cao Cao himself is just deceiving the world. It's like killing people in a dream, Cao Cao doesn't have a hobby of killing in a dream at all, but he wants to kill an attendant to prove that he has it, and the purpose is that people who have the intention to harm him dare not attack him while he is sleeping. Yang Xiu, the only one who saw Cao Cao's purpose, was unfortunately killed by Cao Cao. β
After Yun Bin saw Cao Cao's intentions, he didn't hide it privately, and told Cao Cao all the plans from beginning to end, in fact, he just wanted to exchange Cao Cao's true thoughts, which was also good for Cao Cao when he fought for hegemony in the future. This is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles!
After listening, Cao Cao exhaled and praised: "It's really a good plan, if I fall into this plan, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the real culprit." Good thing I'm a bystander! At first, I heard that the study in Cai's mansion was burned, and on a whim, I carefully asked the relevant people about what happened, and I found several suspicious points, such as the lights out in the room, the fire in the study, and the disappearance of the assassin! Why did the lights go out the moment the guards entered the room? Isn't it too much of a coincidence! There was also a fire in the study that started not long after the two Assassins escaped from the room, so it stands to reason that the Assassins should have been busy escaping, so why would they turn back and light the fire? Finally, there is the suspicion that the assassins disappeared, six assassins entered, one Gao Shun was taken away, two escaped from the scene, and three others were unknown to anyone, isn't it strange? β
Yun Bin slapped his face and smiled: "It's just a small plan, it's difficult to get into the elegance of the lobby!" I didn't expect Brother Cao to see so many flaws, Zihan admired it. Hahahahaγγγ it is precisely because of Brother Cao as a bystander that I can know so clearly what traces of my plan are left, and I can erase them in time. β
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Thereγγγ I didn't have much to do to carefully investigate a few suspicious points, and this plan can be regarded as perfect!" I think that now Cai Lao has applied for the forbidden army to participate in the investigation of the incident, and I think it will not be long before this matter ends because nothing can be found. What can the Forbidden Army check? However, the privileges are a little more, at most the city gate is checked by every household, as long as you carry it for ten days, I Cao Cao guarantees that you will not lose a single hair. β
Yun Bin frowned and asked, "Ten days?" Isn't it too long? There is only so much to Luoyang, according to the number of forbidden troops, it should be possible to check the entire Luoyang in six days! Why does it take 10 days? I'm afraid that things will change if it drags on, after all, we are not the only capable people. Cao Cao was also worried about it, and agreed: "Yes! Luoyang is mixed, there are all kinds of characters, not to mention that the troubled times are approaching, as the so-called times create heroes, it is inevitable that there will be a few capable people who appear in the forbidden army, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome to find out these doubts. β
Yun Bin was taken aback, he didn't want Cao Cao to actually see that the troubled times were approaching, so he had to look at Cao Cao again, and said: "Then please trouble Brother Cao to provide the latest news of the forbidden army, as long as it is not good for us, please remind Brother Cao at the right time!" In this way, the three brothers of us should also prepare in advance. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Yun Zihan, is your guts a little too big?" That's a forbidden army, even if a random person dies, the emperor will be alarmed! Even if I'm willing to help you, I'll do what I can, I hope you understand. β
Yun Bin smiled lightly: "Brother Cao, where have you gone?" No matter how clever I am Yun Zihan, I know what the existence of the forbidden army represents, and I can rest assured that I will not touch any of the forbidden army. I just hope that after Brother Cao provides us with information, I can respond in time. That's right! Brother Cao, why do you want to help us so much? It stands to reason that our current identity has no value worth using at all! β
After Cao Cao got Yun Bin's words, he was a little relieved, and then he drank happily: "Indeed, you don't have any value worth using now, but it will be worth it in the future." I'm sure that sooner or later, this veteran faction will all die out, and for the sake of my Cao Cao's future, I plan to unite you and go out of Luoyang together. Yun Bin was puzzled, Cao Cao did leave Luoyang in history, but he returned to Luoyang afterwards to elect the top ten captains, why did he need to help him out of Luoyang? asked: "Brother Cao, although I don't know if the patriarchal faction wants to die out in the end, but with your ability, isn't it easy to quit Luoyang?" β
Cao Cao explained: "The patriarchal faction is composed of a group of pedantic old men, it can't become a big climate, and the party without military power can't last long anyway, and it's really simple to retreat to Luoyang with my ability, but it's hard to pull out of the quagmire." When I was young and vigorous, I killed Zhang Rang's nephew, so I offended Shichang, so I joined the patriarchal faction in desperation, in order to find a place to live. Zihan, you must be very strange, why didn't I join He Jin, right? Because after I became a eunuch, I was rejected by He Jin's party and could not tolerate it, so I could only choose the patriarchal faction. When I saw the big quagmire of Luoyang clearly, I planned to withdraw from Luoyang, but it was easy to come in, and it was difficult to exit. As long as Zihan is willing to cooperate with my plan, I Cao Cao will be able to retreat to Luoyang at that time. β
Yun Bin was a little puzzled, not knowing whether to believe Cao Cao's words, and finally after Cao Cao's expectant gaze sank to Xiao Xu, he asked: "Brother Cao, I don't know if your plan is Cao Cao's natural understanding of Yun Bin's thoughts, it's nothing more than believing it." But Cao Cao still looked at Yun Bin very confidently and said: "My plan is very simple, as long as Zihan agrees to the task assigned by the patriarchal faction, and then I will make some accidents or something after you carry out the task, so that the patriarchs will have a problem with me, and then I can easily propose the idea of transferring out of Luoyang to the patriarchs." Zihan, what do you think? Although my plan is simple, it is really necessary for me, and please believe in me. β
Although Cao Cao is very sincere on the outside, the title of Cao Apu is not called for nothing, which makes Yun Bin a little difficult to choose. After careful consideration, Yun Bin felt that he was very passive, and said helplessly but firmly: "This plan does seem very simple, but it touches people's psychology!" As long as people are dissatisfied with someone, they will alienate the other party, and if the other party proposes to stay away at the right time, it is absolutely in line with people's psychological thoughts. But Brother Cao, I am cautious, I want to wait until ten days to reply to you? β
Cao Cao was not dissatisfied, but nodded in a deep voice and said: "Yes, it is also a very normal move for you to do this, rest assured that within these ten days, I will definitely help you provide you with all the news of the actions of the forbidden army, but Zihan, you have to remember that you owe me Cao Cao a big favor." "Of course Yun Bin understands what Cao Cao means, that is to say, you Yun Bin owes me Cao Cao a favor for providing information, if you can't return it to me, then you are a villain who has no word to be trusted, then I, Cao Cao, will alienate you, and even become your enemy in a bad mood. After looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a little bitterly, Yun Bin smiled and said, "Brother Cao, don't worry, I, Yun Zihan, will do everything I can to repay you for this favor!" I can't imagine that the first person I owe Yun Zihan is still you Cao Cao, is it our fate? Hahahahaγγγ"
Yun Bin said this sentence in a vague half-joking tone, which made Cao Cao a little puzzled, got up and walked to the door and said: "I don't know if you and I are destined to fight each other, but I only know that you and I are friends now, although they are all calculating, why not be happy enemies?" Alright, Zihan! Then I will retire first, and I will tell you as soon as I have something. β
Yun Bin Guan Yu and the three of them immediately got up to see them off, and after sending Cao Cao out of Cai's mansion, the three of them turned around and returned to the other courtyard, at this time everyone surrounded them, and Mo Yuan hurriedly asked, "How is the young master?" Is that Cao Cao going to tell the truth? Do you want to kill him right now? "Let's go too, young master, we're willing to go and assassinate Cao Cao!" Young master, just send a wordγγγ "At this time, everyone else also made a noise, they were all friends who grew up together, how could they watch Mo Yuan bear such a big responsibility alone?" What's more, he had to assassinate the unfathomable Cao Cao, so everyone made an uproar.
Yun Bin pressed his hands and said, "What are you messing about?" Want to be exposed, right? This is Caifu, not our Mozhuang, you all give me caution. You don't have to assassinate Cao Cao, just let you all go and assassinate Cao Cao, you just have to go and never return, you have seen the two masters behind Cao Cao, right? Do you know what it means to have a heaven outside the sky? It's really overwhelming. β
Everyone was silent, indeed at the beginning of their departure from Mozhuang, they thought that the most powerful person in the world was Yun Bin, and they didn't want to come out for less than two months, and they met Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Gao Shun, the first-class masters, which made them feel a double blow, they didn't want the world to be so big, and they were just frogs at the bottom of the well, just a drop in the ocean. Guan Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, and said in the style of an elder: "Alas! With so many beings, how majestic should the characters who can stand at the top be? Will I ever see it in my life? It's like a cat's claw in my heart. I, Guan Yu, don't want to stand at the top, I only want the history of celebrities. β
The atmosphere was a little solemn, Yun Bin looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and said to Mo Yuan and the others: "You don't need to worry, as long as we carry it for ten days, everything will be rainy and clear." Cao Cao will be an important task to help us carry through the ten days, you don't need to be suspicious, as long as you stay in Cai's Mansion with peace of mind and keep a low profile, everything is me! Okay, everyone stay in the yard, and the eldest brother and second brother will follow me into the house. Hearing Yun Bin say this, everyone couldn't help but put down the big stone in their hearts with peace of mind, and couldn't help but find that Yun Bin's indestructible image in their hearts was a lot taller and heavier again, and suddenly Mo Yuan and the others burst into tears and were moved. Then ten people guarded the courtyard very seriously, and every small insect was trampled to death and thrown out.
After Yun Bin and the three of them walked into the room, Zhang Fei took the lead in asking: "Third brother, why do you know that Cao Cao's guy is defrauding us, why do you still have to explain everything?" Just because of what bullshit plan he said? I see that he must have deceived us this time, and it is best to kill him! After Guan Yu sat down, he said calmly: "Second brother is right, isn't it too hasty to tell Cao Cao so bluntly?" What's more, Cao Cao is incomprehensible, I chatted with him for a while before, and it has always been him who has driven my thoughts, and I can't resist, which shows how hard this person's wrist is. β
Yun Bin played with the teacup and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, Cao Cao is the strongest and most capable person I have ever met!" I'm afraid that in some ways I can't compare to him, but we can't be afraid of him because of his mystery. The reason why I told him everything was that I didn't want Cao Cao to make a big move because he didn't know, with our embarrassing situation now, it was difficult to accept any fluctuations, not to mention that since Cao Cao didn't go to the forbidden army in advance to explain the doubts he had in mind, but came to us first, based on this, the plan he said was true. β
After thinking about it, Zhang Fei still felt that what Yun Bin said was reasonable, but he was still a little unacceptable in his heart, and muttered: "Butγγγ but this plan is too simple, aren't you afraid of being seen by those old guys?" After all, according to Yun Bin, these people are all old foxes who have become spirits. Yun Bin's lips were dipped in tea, and he said incomprehensibly: "Sometimes the simpler the question, the more complicated it will be in the eyes of people. Especially suspicious people, they will imagine simple things as complex things.
