"The prime minister can think so highly of it, this is the luck of the lower officials, but the lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do it." Although Xu Xuan's current ability has been greatly improved, he must behave as usual, and the ordinary Xu Xuan's intelligence is only barely comparable to that of a second-rate military division, and there is still a gap between wanting to be Cao Cao's strategist.

However, Cao Cao didn't think so, but thought that Xu Xuan was a real person, and was more at ease with him, insisting that Xu Xuan be his advisor.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan naturally had no choice but to accept it.

Cao Cao then summoned all the civil and military forces under his command, and first announced to them the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, which really caused a lot of joy and admiration, but Sima Yi looked at Xu Xuan with suspicion, feeling that this Xu Xuan may not be loyal to Cao Cao, but he was only slightly suspicious, because he didn't believe that anyone would be willing to turn away the jade seal.

Then Cao Cao proposed to show Xu Xuan as Situ, because Xu Xuan's credit is too great, although the previous little emperor has been nominally the Son of Heaven, but because there is no jade seal, this makes the little emperor seem not justifiable, and now with the jade seal, many things are more handy.

And this is also Cao Cao's meaning on the surface, but in fact it is another meaning, Xu Xuan can also understand, Cao Cao means that in the past, if you want to issue an edict, you still need the little emperor to sign, but now with the jade seal, it is too convenient, you can completely bypass the little emperor and issue an edict in his name at will, after all, in some things, if the little emperor is unwilling to issue an edict, things are still a little difficult, no matter how much Cao Cao threatens, it is impossible to kill the little emperor.

So in this sense, Xu Xuan was a great favor to Cao Cao, so Cao Cao decided to worship Xu Xuan as Situ.

Of course, this is actually a kind of temptation, to see if Xu Xuan understands the advance and retreat, if he knows the advance and retreat, he will not mind letting him die safely in the future, but if the other party does not know the advance and retreat, although Rong Xian is currently in the end, he will inevitably be a ghost under the knife, Dong Cheng is already good enough, but what is the final result? Could it be that he is better than Dong Cheng?

Of course, Xu Xuan knew that Cao Cao did this for several reasons, not to mention that he didn't come to Cao Cao to be an official, so he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "The reason why Xuan entered the jade seal is because of the duty of a courtier of the Han Dynasty, not for any fame and fortune, and besides, Xuan is not worthy of being ranked among the third princes in terms of talent and qualifications, and he also asked the prime minister to take back his life, and Xuan never dared to accept it." ”

Cao Cao symbolically persuaded at the beginning, but later saw that Xu Xuan was sincere in refusing, so he stopped persuading, and nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that this Xu Xuan is okay, he actually knows how to advance and retreat, since this is the case, he will still be able to make some effort to cultivate in the future.

Therefore, Pei Qing immediately decided to worship Xu Xuan as the prime minister, this position is mainly responsible for assisting the prime minister to rectify the law, and in fact, he also has the responsibility of supervising the prime minister, but at this time, Cao Cao, the prime minister, is arrogant, and the prime minister at this time is actually a symbol of power, so the so-called responsibility of supervising the prime minister does not exist at all, and the current prime minister is just the prime minister's royal tool, and the position is clear, but that's all.

However, Xu Xuan thanked Cao Cao, and also showed a grateful look, because such a position can only be held by confidants, and Cao Cao is willing to recommend Xu Xuan as the prime minister, which is actually to show his trust to Xu Xuan.

At this time, in addition to a series of painless congratulations, Guo Jia made another suggestion to Cao Cao, since the jade seal is in Cao Cao's hands, then it is certain to persuade Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army.

I saw Guo Jia say: "Lord, now that the jade seal is in our hands, I can guarantee that Yuan Shao will withdraw from the army, at least he will not continue to enter the army, we can completely guarantee the possession of the entire Yanzhou, as for Xuzhou, we can completely excuse the people to be difficult to part with the people and the people of Xuzhou migrated to Yuzhou, so that we have a lot of soldiers and household registration, just leaving a tattered and deserted Xuzhou, and on the other hand, Yuan Shao's entry into Qingzhou now is not necessarily a bad thing for us, Because we can use Yuan Shao to balance Pei Qing, this Yuan Shao himself is a person who has no ideas, as long as he provokes it at the right time, Yuan Shao will be used by us. ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said: "Fengxiao's words are exactly what I want, Qingzhou is just what we temporarily gave Yuan Shao to balance Pei Qing, and sooner or later it will be taken back, now that we have defeated Yan Liang's offensive, coupled with the help of the jade seal, Yuan Shao's morale has been hit, and it is the time to persuade." ”

"That's right", Guo Jia was amazed when he heard this, but he hesitated for a moment, and then said with a worried face: "Actually, Jia thinks that what we are most worried about now is not Yuan Shao here, but Pei Qing, Yuan Shao is now a hundred-legged insect that is dead but not stiff, at most it is just being used, and Pei Qing has recently pacified Yuan Shu, and his morale is flourishing, he will definitely lead the army to crusade against my Xuzhou with a victorious army, although the current Xuzhou is guarded by General Zixiao, it is impossible for Pei Qing's opponent at all." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "In fact, at this time, if Yuan Shao is really smart, he should establish an alliance with our army, and work together with each other to fight against Pei Qing, maybe there will be a chance to win, but it's a pity that this idiot, because a Qingzhou is better than me, he doesn't understand at all now, the most terrible opponent in the world now is actually Pei Qing, not me, if it was before, there are still wise people in his camp such as Tian Feng and Fu Zhu who can see this, but now, whether it is Feng Ji, trial or Xu You, They are all a group of short-sighted fools, I am willing to give up Qingzhou for the common good, but Yuan Benchu is willing to work with me for the common good? I'm like a lonely gladiator now, I just need to go one step further to win, but instead of helping me, my teammates are trying their best to hold me back, and I've really found a pig teammate. ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this, but Guo Jia thought more, he was thinking that if he didn't sit idly by and watch when he fought for Hanoi, and even held the idea of "praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow finches behind", it is likely that the alliance between the two sides will be further consolidated, at least it will not lead to mutual distrust today, right?

"The lord always pushes everything on Yuan Shao's body, but if you think about it carefully, this can't be completely obedient to Yuan Shao, no one thought that with Pei Qing's strength at that time, he would be able to win a complete victory in the battle for Hanoi, and even our army was driven out, especially those few country men, who were able to capture Zhang He Gaolan alive, which is too surprising, but why is such a talent always discovered by Pei Qing, but the lord has never been such a master here? Could it be that this Pei Qing has the eyes of discovering talents that are different from mortals, or can he turn stones into gold and directly cultivate ordinary people into top talents? If that's the case, there's no need for us to fight. ”

Guo Jia, who has always boasted of being wise in the world, was full of unconfidence for the first time in his life.
