Cao Cao was very sensitive, felt Qin Yi's displeasure, knew that he was out of shape, and didn't dare to say more, so he analyzed the situation in a serious way, and asked Qin Yi to have a chance to persuade Lu Bu not to say anything to stimulate the people of Liangzhou, and left in a hurry.

Qin Yi sent Cao Cao outside the camp, returned to the tent, and sat there thinking for a long time. Du Shi walked out from behind, looked outside, and then leaned on Qin Yi's side. Qin Yi stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her shoulder, he was very ashamed, he should have scolded Cao Cao just now.

"This Cao Mengde is so rude, he dares to speak like this."

Du Shi didn't see Cao Cao's expression, and he didn't think about it that much. "This Cao Cao is a dissolute person since he was a child, and his words are inevitable. However, what he said is also true, the people of Xiliang echoed and forced it ruthlessly, and Chang'an could not escape. ”

Qin Yi nodded in agreement. "When Wenhou returns, I will remind him. Although this Cao Cao has a despicable personality, his ability is indeed good, he is good at using soldiers, and he can treat people and things, and he can talk to all the generals in the camp, and even Gao Shun, who rarely talks to people, can talk a few words from time to time. I'm worried that after a long time, the generals will fall in favor of him, and Wen Hou will be in power. ”

Du Shi sighed: "Husband, haven't you seen it yet, Wen Hou has the courage and no strategy, and he has the evil deeds of killing Ding Yuan in the past, Situ doesn't trust him, he just uses him to kill Dong Zhuo." Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Wen Hou regards himself as a hero, and he disagrees with Situ, and Situ has alienated him. As for Sikong, he is of noble birth, and he may not look down on the contemptible people. At present, the people of Liangzhou are strong, and they need the force of the people of Liangzhou, so they can pretend to be colored. If the people of Liangzhou are exhausted, it will be difficult for the people of Bingzhou to be at ease, and Wen Hou will be squeezed out of the court sooner or later. ”

Qin Yi took a breath, feeling that Du Shi was reasonable, and hesitated for a while.

——

Cao Cao left the camp and rushed to the city, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.

Although Qin Yi's personality is gentle and introverted, his martial arts are not weak, otherwise he would not have been able to assassinate Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu. His eyes just now were obviously not good, if he suddenly attacked, broke out and hurt people, or called the guards to besiege him, he really didn't know how to retreat. Taking a step back, if Qin Yi mentioned this matter in front of Lu Bu, Lu Bu would not be able to give up.

At this moment, it is really unwise to clash with Lu Bu, it is too Meng Lang to do so.

However, the Du clan is really beautiful.

Cao Cao was sometimes remorseful, sometimes heartbroken, and very entangled. When he came to Situ Mansion, he barely held his mood and came to Wang Yun. Wang Yun has been in a bad mood recently, and he has become thinner, and the court clothes that originally fit well are now a little empty. The cheeks are deep-set, the eyes are a little protruding, the neck is slender, and the Adam's apple appears thicker, which always makes people feel that something is blocked in the throat, and it cannot be up or down.

"Prince, you have to pay attention to your body."

Wang Yun let out a long sigh, his voice was hoarse, and there was a cracking sound. "Wouldn't it be better if I died?" He raised his hand and signaled that Cao Cao didn't have to be polite. "What is the situation of the battle outside the city, you haven't come for a long time, and you suddenly came to the door, there must be something, let's say, I will enter the palace later, I can't delay too long."

Cao Cao was embarrassed. He was able to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, and Wang Yun helped a lot, but Wang Yun has received a lot of criticism recently, but he has not been able to support Wang Yun. "Prince, the battle outside the city is going well, Hu Zhen has been defeated, but I'm worried about ......"

"Now that the war is going well, what else do you have to worry about?" Wang Yun interrupted Cao Cao. "Meng De, Gongsun Chan has gone deep into Jizhou, and Yuan Benchu is preparing for the battle with all his might, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Of course it's Yuan Benchu."

"Why?" Wang Yun's eyebrows frowned, pulling the loose skin, the brown old age spots were all crowded together, and his face looked even darker. "Gongsun Chan has just defeated the Yellow Turbans and beheaded 30,000, and his morale is at its peak. He has been in the north for a long time, and he has made good use of cavalry, and he has no way forward. ”

"Gongsun Chan is just a brave man, he can't use people, and there are only one or two thousand people who can lead, and no matter how much he has, it will be useless. Although he had a lot of cavalry under his command, he was too strict with the Wuhuan people, and he forced the Wuhuan people to rebel, and the Wuhuan people had no loyalty to him. How can a war of tens of thousands of people be won or lost in one go? Once the war is stalemate, the Wuhuan people are likely to be chaotic and even turn against each other. If this happens, Gongsun Chan will definitely be defeated. ”

Wang Yun sighed: "You are right. It is precisely because of this that I advocate that we should give grace and power to the Xiliang people, but they are very afraid of the Xiliang people, and they are bent on giving grace and forgiveness. In the long run, I am afraid that the people of Xiliang will be more unscrupulous, and the imperial court will no longer have prestige at all. Look at Han Sui and Ma Teng, aren't they stationed on the right side of the wind to watch? Niu Fu and others can be pardoned and enter the court, aren't they rising tides? ”

Cao Cao was stunned. Wang Yun did not agree to pardon the Xiliang soldiers, but before he felt that Dong Zhuo was the only one, and the Xiliang generals were not guilty of doing what he was ordered, but now why has he changed his words? Hearing this, is it to make an example and coerce Han Sui and Ma Teng to surrender? How can this work, isn't this forcing them to join forces with Niu Fu and attack Chang'an together.

"Prince, by all means."

Wang Yun's face sank suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes glared at Cao Cao. Cao Cao sighed secretly, quickly slowed down his tone, and patiently explained.

"Prince, Chang'an's troops are limited, except for the Northern and Southern Army, the Son of Heaven Guard, only the Bingzhou Army is available. The northern and southern armies were too weak to be used. The Son of Heaven guards many Confucian soldiers, and they are not allowed to go to the battlefield. Although the Bingzhou army is available, there are less than 10,000 soldiers, and the expulsion of Hu Zhen is already stretched, once Han Sui and Ma Teng attack, Chang'an will inevitably be lost. Niu Fu and Dong Yue are east of Tongguan, where is the imperial court going? ”

Wang Yun was depressed, covered his mouth, and coughed twice, and there was already a sweet smell in his mouth. He knew that something was wrong, and quietly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, so that Cao Cao would not see his weakness.

"So what to do?"

"Send people to appease Han Sui and Ma Teng, prevent them from uniting with Niu Fu, and at the same time summon Liu Yan and Sun Ceqin Wang, and recruit displaced people as soldiers around Chang'an. The rout of Xiliang was raging, the people could not protect themselves, and the people from Luoyang were even more miserable. ”

Wang Yun hesitated. Sun Ce...... Can you come? Last year......"

Without waiting for Wang Yun to finish speaking, Cao Cao preemptively said: "Sun Ce has been writing to ask for Yuan Shu, as long as the imperial court can issue an edict to pursue Yuan Shu, Sun Ce will definitely be able to come." If he doesn't come, Sun Jian will let him come, and Taiwei Zhu will also let him come. Take 10,000 steps back, even if he doesn't come himself, he will send someone. In this way, Wuguan Road is unharmed, and in case the war in Chang'an is unfavorable, the imperial court can also patrol Nanyang. ”

Wang Yun nodded repeatedly. What he is most worried about now is that once Chang'an is lost, the Son of Heaven will have nowhere to go. If the Son of Heaven dies in the midst of the rebellion, he will be a sinner for the ages. King Hongnong is dead, Emperor Xiaoling only has this bloodline left, if he also dies, he can only re-elect the new emperor, and the ministers of the court will inevitably be a dispute again, and no one dares to say what the final result will be. If he ensures that the Wuguan Road is unobstructed, there is a way to retreat, and the safety of the Son of Heaven is ensured, he will be much calmer.

"Meng De, it is not easy for you to fight with Sun Ce last year, but now you can start from the overall situation, think about the imperial court, and take the initiative to reconcile with Sun Ce. Xu Zijiang is right, you can be a capable minister in the world, and you can be a hero in troubled times. I'm old, my days are numbered, and it's up to you young heroes in the future. Meng De, I am ready to invite the Son of Heaven to worship you as the general of Zhendong, still lead the lieutenant of the commander, preside over the military of Chang'an, and help the crisis with Huangfu Yizhen, how about it? ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
