Cao Cao didn't go to Chu Feng and asked what Chu Feng meant when he said this, as a person with great wisdom and ambition, he naturally knew that others had already said what they thought, and he didn't need to be too clear.

This is obviously to see if he, the master, can understand the meaning of what he said.

However, on this matter, Cao Cao also wanted to hear what others thought.

"Zhicai, I have some questions in my mind, I want you to answer them, I don't know what you think about rescuing the Son of Heaven for a while?

The news brought by Chu Feng that Dong Zhuo's old troops came to Chang'an, forcing Wang Situ to finally commit suicide, and Lu Bu also fled with the only remaining troops in Chang'an, and the Xiongnu in the north took the opportunity to go south.

Now that the three parties are stalemate, the Son of Heaven must be suffering from the scourge of war in Chang'an, and we, as courtiers, must take the rescue of the Son of Heaven as our own responsibility.

But now it's too much to use this little force. ”

Xi Zhicai covered his mouth and coughed a few times, thought for a while, and replied: "The general's idea is good, but now we have not completely solved the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, the troops are insufficient, and even the Yellow Turban Thieves in front of us have not been exterminated, how can we rescue the Son of Heaven."

From the perspective of Zhicai, we can only ask Yuan Shao to send troops, and then unite with other princes to increase the blow to the Yellow Turban Thieves, and then strengthen ourselves, so as to rescue the Son of Heaven from the war as soon as possible. ”

The relationship between Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai is very close, and sometimes they sleep together, which is enough to see Cao Cao's attention and treatment to Xi Zhicai.

So there are some words, Cao Cao will not shy away from them, and said them directly, "However, if Yuan Shao really sends troops to rescue the Son of Heaven, with Yuan Shao's ambition, I am worried that he will become the second Dong Zhuo." ”

Xi Zhicai replied: "With the general's understanding of Lord Yuan, will he Yuan Shao send troops to Chang'an to rescue the Son of Heaven?"

Not to mention that Yuan Shao and Chang'an are far apart, even if the armies of Dong Zhuo's old department are coupled with the Xiongnu rebellion, he does not dare to rashly send troops.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's heart probably doesn't want to take the Son of Heaven to Jizhou, what Yuan Shao thinks, I'm afraid many people know.

In addition, those strategists around Yuan Shao probably don't want Yuan Shao to rescue the Son of Heaven, otherwise how can they occupy the righteousness, and it will be very embarrassing for the monarchs and ministers to get along in the future. ”

Cao Cao nodded, for Xi Zhicai's words, it can be regarded as affirmation, what kind of person Yuan Shao is, he also knows it, but he still has some doubts in his heart.

If Yuan Shao really had a whim and agreed to send troops to rescue the Son of Heaven, wouldn't the righteousness really occupy his side in the end.

However, thinking about it again, Yuan Shao probably didn't want to do this, although the Yuan family was the family of the Three Princes and Nine Qings, but in Yuan Shao's generation, their hearts were not completely loyal to the Han Dynasty, otherwise when they were in the army of the Eighteenth Route Alliance, they would have thought about the emperor and actively attacked Dong Zhuo.

"Then how about I write a letter to the effect and ask Yuan Shao to send troops?" Cao Cao asked.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said complimentingly: "The general has a good idea, it is best to let this letter be made public, so that everyone can see that the general cares about the Han and wants to urgently rescue the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately his strength is insufficient."

So he could only ask Yuan Shao to send troops to rescue the Son of Heaven, in this way, Yuan Shao's troops must not be in line with his inner thoughts, and his strategists were unwilling.

But if you don't send troops, you will also lose the hearts of the people and lose your righteousness, but the general can win a good reputation, and you can also make Yuan Shao bitter and unspeakable, not bad, not bad. ”

Xi Zhicai was also going to suggest a letter to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao came up with it first.

Cao Cao sighed and said: "It's really a hero out of a young man, in fact, the idea of writing a letter was not come up after Cao Cao accepted your guidance, but someone had already come up with it." ”

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Oh? Who else came up with it before us? Who is it? Wen Ruo? ”

Cao Cao shook his head and replied: "No, it's not Wen Ruo, it's the young man we saw today who hasn't reached the crown yet, and he also came up with a serial plan to kill Dong Zhuo, at a young age, he has such intelligence, if he teaches it well, he will definitely not lose to you in the future!" ”

"The general is saying, that Cai family's apprentice Chu Feng?" Xi Zhicai asked with some disbelieving.

Cao Cao nodded, "Yes." ”

"Being able to come up with a serial plan to kill Dong Zhuo, his intelligence is indeed extraordinary, he can clearly see the stakes between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and use beauty to use discord, he is really talented, and his grasp of people's hearts is also very high.

And now he can see Yuan Shao's thoughts, and he can also see the relationship between you and Yuan Shao, general, and immediately came up with a letter to throw this question to Yuan Shao, and his intelligence is like a demon.

Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, some of them have reached a great talent! ”

Cao Cao was also very happy, thinking that he had not yet made a fortune, and there were already talents who came to join him, and it seemed that his reputation was still very high.

In this period, the importance of fame does not need to be elaborated, for example, Liu Bei, when Kong Rong was under siege, sent Donglai Tai Shici to ask Liu Bei for support.

At that time, Liu Bei said, "Does Kong Rong know that there is still me Liu Bei in the world?" ”

Liu Bei, who had not yet developed in the world, wanted to make a career and make a reputation, but he had never been able to do so.

Hearing that princes like Kong Rong, the descendants of the Kong family also knew that there was Liu Bei in the world, and they could still think of asking him for Liu Bei's support when they were in danger, which made Liu Bei feel very happy, because he was finally needed, and he finally had a big man to remember him.

Cao Cao naturally knew the importance of fame, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of assassinating Dong Zhuo when he was forced to leave the imperial capital by Dong Zhuo.

This is also to win a good reputation, wealth and danger, if he can successfully assassinate Dong Zhuo, then he is also a loyal man, and he also has a great credit, even if he does not succeed, he also has a reputation for assassinating Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao did kill a prodigy with his own hands, this prodigy is named Zhou Budo, and he is not yet born.

And the reason why Cao Cao killed a prodigy like Zhou Budo was firstly because he thought of his prodigy-like son Cao Chong when he saw Zhou Budo, and secondly, he was worried that Cao Pi and others would not be able to subdue a prodigy like Zhou Budo.

This was also forced by the situation, Cao Cao was also older at that time, and the important and trusted strategists around him also died.

No one will be able to balance with this prodigy in the future, so they can only kill him earlier.

However, the current Cao Cao has not yet made a career and is still relying on Yuan Shao, and his strength naturally cannot be compared with the future.

In addition, there are many strategists around him, and he is also ambitious, so what is there to fear about such a prodigy?

Even if he is as wise as a demon, Cao Cao is confident that he can subdue such a demon prodigy, and hopes that the more such people, the better!
