Chapter 78: The Man Behind the Scenes
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised him greatly: "Climb the Tianshan Mountain, walk on the steep and dangerous, in order to take the orchid, success, and swagger." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Wenyuan is really a lonely hero, the pillar of the country, and my dry city! To reward General Zhang with a big prize. β
This is the only good news outside of the whole pile of bad news today, no wonder Cao Cao is so excited.
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the Prime Minister." Everyone congratulated in unison.
After Cao Cao finished reading the military report, his eyebrows tightened, and he muttered: "The military report said that Mei Cheng and Chen Lan designated to surrender to the forbidden general, why is this?" β
Xun You groaned for a while, and said: "The former Mei Cheng threw himself into the general's rebellion, and he must have been ashamed in his heart, so he was desperately designated to vote for the general." Chen Lan's unsuccessful attempt to save Sun Quan has already hated Sun Quan to the core, and she must find an opportunity to take revenge. In view of the long-term cooperation between the two, the thief nature is difficult to change, and it is recommended to divide and rule them, and divide them into two halves under the command of General Zhang and General Yu respectively. β
"Since they have such sincerity, they will do as you say." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Jia Xu, who was expressionless and had a withered face, as if the military discussion had nothing to do with him, the military teacher's sacrificial wine, and was sitting alone as a lonely monk, closing his eyes and recuperating.
When Cao Cao saw Jia Xu's state, the boss was unhappy in his heart, what does this old poisonous snake mean, one day he will break the old thief into pieces.
After he scolded a sentence, his face pretended to be kind and smiled as usual: "Wenhe, what do you think of the current situation?" β
For this "poisoner" Jia Xu, Cao Cao actually hates it to the core. When he was in Wancheng, it was Zhang Xiu who used Jia Xu's strategy to force Cao Cao to ruthlessly abandon the little widow Zou, drill out of the incomparably fragrant quilt naked, flee in a hurry, embarrassed, and also compensated the most loyal intimate guard general Dian Wei, the eldest son Cao Anmin and many soldiers. All of this was given by Jia Xu.
This unforgettable hatred has always been deeply buried in Cao Cao's heart, in order to create a tall image of the prime minister's stomach can support the ship magnanimously in front of the world, and better recruit rebellions, and at the same time use Zhang Xiu's bravery and Jia Xu's wisdom to dominate the world, the black-hearted Cao Cao tried his best to suppress the strong desire for revenge, and on the surface he appreciated and reused them as always.
Zhang Xiu knew that she was guilty of heinous crimes, and she acted very low-key. Jia Xu also knew that he was deeply guilty, and he was afraid of causing Cao Cao to be suspicious and killed, so he quietly "closed the door and guarded himself, retreated without selfish relations, married men and women, and did not marry a high family", and became a great hidden in the court.
Hearing Cao Cao's kind question, Jia Xu was taken aback, he knew Cao Cao's personality, and he must have hidden a knife in his smile.
Jia Xu didn't dare to slack off, straightened up, respectfully and respectfully, and replied: "Xu vaguely feels that the situation is sinister, and there is a promoter behind the scenes, in the next big game of chess." β
Cao Cao became interested when he heard it: "Ah, how can you see it?" β
Jia Xu replied with a sad face: "I don't know who did this. It feels like Zhuge Liang is not doing. β
Cao Cao was obviously dissatisfied with this so-so statement, he felt that Jia Xu was already poor in donkey skills, Jiang Lang was exhausted, and the scenery was gone.
The famous poisoners are all saying this, and others can imagine.
Cao Cao frowned, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Cao Cao was at a loss, Xun Yu said: "Prime minister, don't worry, I think that Liu Bei's right-hand man is nothing more than the so-called Wolong and Phoenix Chick, Pang Tong has followed Liu Bei into Sichuan, Liu Bei is the general leader of Jingzhou with Zhuge Liang, who else is not Zhuge Liang?" From my point of view, although Sun Quan knows people well, knows that mistakes can be changed, stoops to endure humiliation, and is insidious and weird, he forgets his righteousness, is short-sighted, hesitant, cowardly and naΓ―ve. Such a person at both ends of the rat can only be the master of the observance, and can never achieve great things, why be afraid! Zhuge Liang is full of wisdom and ingenuity, known as Wolong, but he is more than cautious, and his strategy is insufficient, so he can only be used as an assistant. Liu Bei said that Zhuge Liang is like a fish in water, the fish has left the water into the river, the fish will die without water, and the fish without water will become stagnant water. Now Zhuge Liang is in charge of the handsome seal, without Liu Bei's support, he will never dare to fight a decisive battle with the main force of our army. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter what, they all rely on strength to speak, so we must take me as the main in order to be invincible. The prime minister is clever and clever, and he will send troops to destroy the thief army. β
Summing up the opinions of the people, Cao Cao finally issued a military order: ordered the Fubo general Xiahoudun and the Fenwei general Manzhong to lead 15,000 troops to Xiangfan and wait for an opportunity to reinforce Xiahou Yuan; the general Hu Wei quickly returned to the east and joined up with the Dangkou general Zhang Liao, and Na Meicheng surrendered to Chen Lan; with Hua Xin as the supervising army, the three armies of 25,000 led by Li Feng general Cao Hong, Zhaowu general Zhu Ling, and Zhongyi general Feng Kai to Hefei, and Zhang Liao supervised the entire army on the eastern front to resist Sun Quan's attack; and the Qiang generals Zhang Xiu and Jianjie general Lu Zhao led 5,000 horsemen deep into the Wu realm. Waiting for the opportunity to attack the army, government offices, and cities in the north of the Eastern Wu River.
The generals responded with a bang and took the order.
After the deployment of troops was completed, Cao Cao was relieved, lying on his back on the throne, letting out a long sigh and closing his eyes to recuperate.
However, Cao Cao suddenly woke up, glanced at everyone with triangular eyes, and said coldly: "I had a nightmare last night, and I will share it with you today, hoping to teach me." β
It's finally here that it shouldn't have come! Sima Lang and Sima Yi were terrified when they heard this, and their faces changed slightly.
Sima Lang had already received a report from Sima Yi in advance, although he knew that the second brother had been arranged in advance, but in view of Cao Cao's cruel and murderous nature and repeated suspiciousness, those who followed it prospered and those who rebelled died, and he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, he still shuddered.
The two brothers were worried and uneasy, and their faces quickly returned to normal, and they appeared to be calm and composed.
Cao Cao's eyes were blazing, and he stared at Sima Lang, the main bookkeeper, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Boda, talk about your high opinion." β
Sima Lang secretly screamed badly, he was afraid of something, he was really a companion like a tiger, and his expression was a little nervous.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sima Yi was afraid that the eldest brother would say the wrong thing and expose his stuff, so he greeted all Cao Cao's women again in his heart, smiled on his face, and replied respectfully: "Lord Prime Minister, Boda only reads the book of saints, how can he interpret dreams." Zhong Dacai is a shallow learner and does not know how to interpret dreams. Although the Sima family also has a horse character, there are eight of our brothers, and they all have a Da character in their names, which are collectively called Bada. Greet the Prime Minister. β
Xun Yu was afraid that Cao Cao would harm people again, so he hurriedly said: "Sima Wang's father and son are loyal to the prime minister, and Boda and Zhongda are honest and conscientious, which is obvious to everyone. There are six horses in the prime minister's dream, and the numbers don't match. Zi is silent, and the prime minister must be in charge of all kinds of opportunities, and overwork leads to thinking day and night. Dreams are illusory and must not be fully believed. β
As the leader of the Yingchuan Strategist Group and the sponsor of the Sima brothers, protecting them is to protect the Yingchuan Gang and protect himself, and Xun Yu is obliged at this point.
It was rare for the first mastermind Xun Yu to speak, Cao Cao had no choice but to laugh haha, talk about him left and right, and pass by with a smile.
Cao Pi, who had been thinking about currying favor with Cao Cao for a long time, saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and hurriedly said: "Father, the son recommended a person named Zhou Xuan, who is engaged in me, this person has the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, can he interpret this dream?" β
Cao Cao waved his sleeves: "Hurry up, please." β
