Chapter 173: Mingjun is the son

Yuan Xu did not have any friendship with Gongsun Kang.

He didn't even focus on Liaodong at all.

The Gongsun family of Liaodong, although it also has some strength, is so weak that it is deliberately ignored compared to Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu persuaded Gongsun Kang to send troops, but Yuan Xu was not surprised.

He was surprised that Gongsun Kang actually tied people up and sent them to Yecheng.

"How did Guo Fengxiao deal with it?" Yuan Xu asked Cui Yan.

Cui Yan replied: "He has some friendship with Cheng Yu and is trying to persuade Guishun. ”

"You've got to go." Yuan Xu instructed: "When I go back, I will ask Cao Mengde to write a letter to Cheng Zhongde, Feng Xiao may not be able to persuade him, but Cao Mengde can definitely do it." ”

A side hall in the inner courtyard of Huainan Palace.

Yuan Xu sat at the top, and Cao Cao sat at the bottom.

On the table in front of Cao Cao, there were several chapters of white paper and a pen.

Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty created Cai Hou paper.

The quality of the paper, Yuan Xu can't look at it at all.

In front of Cao Cao was the paper he had obtained from the afterlife through the second-level necromancy summoning technique.

Silk is too expensive, and Yuan Xu is reluctant to use that thing to ask Cao Cao to write a letter.

Cai Hou is not good on paper, and when he writes, some places will become a small ink ball.

It's easier to use paper that you're used to.

"Cheng Zhongde went to Liaodong, you should know." Yuan Xu asked Cao Cao.

"Yes." Cao Cao replied.

"I don't care what you thought at the beginning, and I won't settle accounts with you after the autumn." Yuan Xu said: "At that time, the two of us were fighting, no matter what you do, you can forgive." But now that you have voted for me, you should understand what to do and what to say. ”

"I understand." Cao Cao asked, "What does Gongzi want me to tell Cheng Zhongde?" ”

"Tell him that Shouchun City is broken, and you have already served me." Yuan Xu said: "Let him stop resisting, he should surrender, he still has to surrender." ”

"Let's do it." Cao Cao agreed.

When Cao Cao wrote the letter, Yuan Xu asked him: "Shouchun was broken, do you have any ideas?" ”

"That's how it counts." Cao Cao replied: "Since the way of heaven belongs to the son, it is no good for me to fight again." ”

"It's good to know." Yuan Xu nodded: "What do you think I should do next?" ”

So when I asked Cao Cao's opinion, Yuan Xu had two purposes.

First, Cao Cao has been a hero for many years, and he has a lot of experience in conquering the world, and he must have already calculated what to do next after winning Hebei.

Second, he also knew that Cao Cao would definitely choose to pacify the north in the next step. If that's not the case, the person can't stay.

Cao Cao's answer reassured Yuan Xu a lot: "Gongzi can first pacify the north, and then go south to plot Jingchu and Wudi." ”

"Why?" The answer given by Cao Cao was exactly what he wanted, and Yuan Xu still asked.

Cao Cao replied: "The north is uneven, and the prince will definitely suffer from the enemy." Once the army goes to the south, Xiliang, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liaodong Gongsun Kang are all likely to send troops to raid. Although Gongzi has immortal skills, the north and the south are at war at the same time, and they are also lacking in skills. ”

Yuan Xu nodded: "What you said does make sense. ”

Cao Cao had already written the letter at this time, he held it in both hands, stood up and said to Yuan Xu: "Son, the letter has been written, please take a look." ”

The guard stepped forward, took it from him, and then handed it to Yuan Xu.

Browsing through the letters, Yuan Xu asked him: "I heard that in the early years, you used to calculate fortune telling, and someone told you that you are a hero in troubled times and a capable minister who governs the world." ”

Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly replied: "That's all in the early years, and the son doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

"Of course I don't take it to heart." Yuan Xu replied: "But I have to understand one thing, do you think it is a troubled world now, or a ruling world?" ”

"In troubled times, governing the world is not just looking at appearances." Cao Cao replied: "For example, although there is chaos today, in my opinion, it is a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

"Oh?" After reading the letter, Yuan Xu put it on the table and looked at Cao Cao: "What does Meng De mean by saying this?" ”

"Returning to the childe." Cao Cao replied: "The so-called troubled times are the sluggishness of the dynasty, the people of the world are not happy, and there are many disasters in various places. The root cause is that the faint monarch is in power, and the officials are like maggots on the tarsal bones, not sharing worries for the court, but dismantling the pillars. And the so-called governance of the world is the peace of the country and the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the root cause is to have a wise king. ”

"The emperor is in Yecheng, although he will handle some things now, but they are all small things that don't hurt or itch." Yuan Xu replied: "Whether it is Mingjun or not, it remains to be seen." ”

"I'm not talking about Mingjun Liu Xie." Cao Cao said: "In my early years, I also tried to do my best for the Han Dynasty. However, the Han family fell into decline and was unable to return to the sky. Gongzi regulates Hebei, everyone does not have to worry about food and clothing, and he is the real Mingjun. ”

"You mean, you want me to be emperor?" Yuan Xu asked deliberately.

He had been testing Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao really wanted him to be the emperor, his evil intentions could be seen.

However, Cao Cao did not say that.

He said to Yuan Xu: "Before the time to become the emperor, the heroes are everywhere, and people from all walks of life are vying for power. ”

Yuan Xu nodded: "You are right, I also deeply agree." ”

He changed his words, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "I don't know how many young ladies have not left the cabinet under Meng De's knees?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "Although there are many little girls, none of them are adults. ”

"Cao Hua, Cao Xian, and Cao Jie, all of them are not yet adults?" Yuan Xu asked.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Yuan Xu: "Gongzi Mingjian, these little girls are just children now." If you like it, you can send it to the house to raise it. ”

"You can keep it for me." Yuan Xu said: "But let me say first, these young ladies, I have booked them, and I am not allowed to marry them to others." ”

Cao Cao replied: "Don't worry, Childe, you will never be allowed to marry others." ”

Leaving the Huainan Palace, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but also muttered in his heart: It is said that Yuan Xianxin is a decent person, and he only married Zhen Mi's daughter.

If at the beginning, there were still staff members to discuss with him, but now that the army is defeated and the city is broken, it is not easy to save his life, where will there be staff to discuss these things with him.

After Cao Cao left, Yuan Xu instructed the guards: "Go and gather all the people under Cao Cao's command to the front hall, I have something to say to them." ”

After the guards left, Yuan Xu also got up and went out.

He didn't leave very quickly, and when he arrived at the front hall, all the staff and generals who were loyal to Cao Cao were already waiting there.

Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan were also waiting there.

Cui Yan was the first to greet him: "Childe, I wonder if the letter has been prepared?" ”

Yuan Xu took out the letter and handed it to him: "I'm tired." ”

"I'll quit first." Cui Yan said goodbye and left.
