Chapter 1901: The Battle of Shouchun (182)

Cao Cao is waiting, of course not waiting for Chen Qun to find out anything, the spy team in Guo Jia's hands holds all the secrets of Xu Du, and there are no secrets, because they are all in Cao Cao's eyes, what do they think, and what do they want to do, he is like a god on top, watching everything in Xu Du.

This army is far more effective in Guo Jia's hands than when Cheng Yu was an official, of course, because of their attributes, it is impossible for them to appear in a normal form, let alone be assigned to Sikong Mansion, even Liu Lan is the same, but he appears in the form of an inner guard, which looks more like a personal soldier.

After all, this has always been a spy agency, and in this era, there are really few people who put him in the foreground, so for the matter of the jade seal of the country, it is only a secret investigation, but this is enough, as long as he has the evidence, Cao Cao has enough ability to suppress it through normal means.

Cao Cao did not rush back to Xudu, and sat back and watched the internal development of Xudu, of course, everything that happened in the city was also in his full understanding, although Guo Jia had recently been obsessed with the plan of Wen Chou, but after all, he was the chief spy officer, and he could distinguish the importance and the severity, and he did not dare to be negligent in this matter.

"Got it checked? Who is involved? ”

"Judging from the news coming back from Dong Cheng's mansion, it is still those people, but the people who have been in the palace have finally shown their feet this time." In fact, Cao Cao has long mastered the inside story, but he doesn't believe that there is only one person in the palace, he has the courage, but it is absolutely impossible to hide his eyeliner and send the edict out, there must be an internal response in the palace, for this reason, he has changed all the palace maids and eunuchs around the emperor, and even specially arranged some eunuchs who are loyal to him to secretly monitor, and has not moved Dong Cheng, that is, he hopes to find out this person, but because after changing the eunuch palace, the prince's small movements are obviously much smaller, In Cao Cao's eyes, this kind of feedback is more like that person is in the hands of these palace eunuchs, or it is a grass startling snake that makes him hide, so at this moment, when Guo Jia said from his mouth that the person finally appeared again, Cao Cao was completely relieved, and all these years of hard work were not in vain, and finally forced him out.

"Who is it?" Cao Cao's voice became cold, no need to ask, he was already murderous.

"There are two people, and one of them is Tiger Ben Wang Yue." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he shook his head again and said: "Another person can't be found, the key is that our people didn't see his face clearly, but they just saw a figure from a distance, although they kept investigating, in the forbidden army and among the eunuchs, but they never found a similar background, and the investigation stopped." Guo Jia couldn't say the regret in his mouth.

"Keep an eye on how long he can hide." Cao Cao calmed down, anyway, the palace was under surveillance, so he was not afraid that he would not show up.

"No!"

"By the way, who is behind the matter of the jade seal of the country? Dong Hou? He smiled, glanced at Guo Jia, and continued, "In Xu Du, if you want to calculate me, there are just a few people, of course, there are some people, they are all old foxes, they have the courage to do this, but they don't dare to come out, they will only play some tricks in secret, and there is no other way to take me." ”

A sentence of Dong Hou explains everything, of course, this sentence is nothing to the title of Emperor Xian, after all, when he was in Luoyang, in the General's Mansion, everyone would call him that, but now the situation is different, he is the Son of Heaven, but because of a series of challenges to him by his relatives, Cao Cao has changed his title to the Son of Heaven.

If the word Dong Hou appeared in front of those courtiers who were loyal to the Son of Heaven, then he must be shocked, what does this sentence mean? Could it be that Cao Cao also has the intention of abolishing the establishment?

But Guo Jia, who is familiar with Cao Cao, disagrees, this is Cao Cao's attitude towards those people, a threat, of course, it will be explained by habit to the outside world, after all, it has been in Ruoyang for so many years, it is called habitual, of course, if it is said in front of Xun Yu, then he will be shocked in addition to being shocked, but he will be relieved, because he also understands Cao Cao, his such a performance, but shows that he did not mean to sacrifice the emperor, but regarded him as a nephew, although it looks extremely disrespectful, But at least the position of the Han family and Emperor Xian can be guaranteed, and Cao Cao will not attack his nephew if he does this.

At this moment, Guo Jia's mind was turning, how to report was very important, at this moment, he even had a sharp murderous intent in his heart, as long as this matter was on the head of Emperor Xian, and Cao Cao would definitely make a move, in Xu Tian dabbled in such a warning, it can be said that it was already a showdown between Sikong and the Son of Heaven, but if such a showdown still made him so bold, would Sikong still keep him, definitely not.

And Guo Jia also has his own selfishness, because some things will happen sooner or later, for him, it is far more profitable to benefit from the dragon's merit than to help Cao Cao Kuangfu the Han family, so whether it is for himself or for Sikong, whether this matter is arranged by the Son of Heaven or not, it must become arranged by the Son of Heaven. But in the next moment, he calmed down, because now is not the time, if the Son of Heaven is finished and Emperor Xian is abolished, then the spirit emperor will be completely finished, and he can only choose from the clan, he believes that as soon as such a thing happens, first of all, the court officials will leave, and secondly, those clans with the most resources will also leave the sky, if Yuan Shao's threat has been solved, then Guo Jia can not consider these threats at all, but when there is a threat from Yuan Shao or even Liu Lan outside, Then he had to think about what kind of consequences would happen once the Son of Heaven was abolished, so after thinking about it again, he felt that the decision of the princes to blackmail the Son of Heaven was still the first choice at the moment.

"Dong Cheng, but the Son of Heaven must know about this matter, and it can even be said that he acquiesced, but if the Son of Heaven is solved now, it will not be of any benefit to Sikong, so the best solution is to kill chickens and monkeys, and use Dong Cheng to deter both inside and outside." Guo Jia finally gave what he thought was the best result at the moment.

Cao Cao nodded subconsciously, and when he hadn't spoken, Guo Jia spoke again, "But letting go is not the same as letting go, the gap between the lord and the emperor is deep, it's better to plan early......" There are some things that Guo Jia is suitable to say, but some things are not suitable to say, not to mention that he also knows Sikong's true thoughts, he wants to be Huo Guang but doesn't want to be Wang Mang, he knows this, so he can only say half of what he said, because this early plan doesn't actually explain anything, at most it's just a hint, but what will this hint make Sikong think of, Whether it is abolished or self-inflicted, he doesn't know, it all depends on how Sikong thinks and thinks about it.

Sure enough, after these words, Sikong really didn't make a sound, and Guo Jia could only keep his mouth shut, not daring to say more than half a word, because both he and Sikong understood a truth, that is, whether it was Huo Guang or Wang Mang, there was no good ending in the end, but Huo Guang left a good reputation, but Sikong Mansion is such a big family, can Sikong really bear to see them end up with a life and death robbery?

The most wonderful thing in this world is that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the merit is high, because although the Son of Heaven overlooks all living beings, but in the face of such a powerful minister, he is faced with a common problem, that is, he does not know how to reward the powerful ministers who cover the world, not that he does not want to reward, but it is really something that cannot be rewarded, and the final outcome can only become the death of the other party, or be killed by the other party, and a person like Cao Cao who leans towards the government and the opposition, if he really wants to move the Son of Heaven, he does not have that opportunity at all, but the Son of Heaven is different, because he is afraid of fear, Even if he knew that Cao Cao had no intention of abolishing the establishment, but he had the strength to abolish the establishment, so in order to keep his rights, he must first take back his rights, so there is a natural cooperative relationship between them, and it is also a natural hostile relationship, and they will never die.

The minister is strong and the lord is weak, and he still wants to blend in, this is originally the whimsy of an idealist like Xun Yu, even if he works hard, there will be no result, Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven will be afraid, and they will suspect that the other party wants to attack him, so Cao Cao will inevitably take back the authority in the hands of the Son of Heaven, ensure that he will not be threatened by the Son of Heaven, and completely control him in his own hands, even if the Son of Heaven wants to get rid of himself, he does not have that ability, let alone that strength.

Cao Cao's idea is good, so that he can not only ensure his own safety, but also ensure that the Son of Heaven is safe with him, but he ignores his sons, he is loyal to the Han family, it does not mean that the people below him and his sons are finally in the Han family, and they don't want to replace him, so the Son of Heaven who has no rights is a mud that can be manipulated by others, and he will be pinched whatever he wants.

Of course he knows what Guo Jia wants to express in these words, after all, many things are recorded in the history books, and he knows it well, so he will definitely be worried, and even considered it at that moment, but now, as Guo Jia said, it is not the time to move the Son of Heaven, but it must be arranged in advance, at least there will be no unexpected accidents, so that he will not be able to react.

It seems that it is time to make some preparations in advance, and those eunuchs alone are not enough. Cao Cao thought of this, but nodded, blurted out, and said: "I will consider this matter, what about the matter of the jade seal of the country, and is there a way to solve it later?" ”

"Yes," Guo Jia sneered, and said: "Don't they want to pass on the jade seal of the country, okay, give it to him, it's not easy to get back the jade seal of the country, but the premise is that the tiger and the feather forest must be taken back, Sikong must control these forbidden troops by himself, and the worst thing is to be our people to be the chief officer, to ensure that all the troops in Xu Du are in the hands of Sikong, the Son of Heaven has no military power, so naturally he can't turn over the waves, and the second is to collect the right to collect money, and the Shaofu will be in the hands of Sikong, at least the chief official of the Shaofu will be played by Sikong's henchmen, The third is to remove the old officials, but they must not be allowed to rebel against their hometown, these people are loyal to the Han family, once they leave, they will definitely return to their hometowns and give birth to chaos, stay in Xu Du to monitor nearby, even if there are any small actions, they can also be dealt with in time, the last point, that is, differentiation, while suppressing some of the court officials loyal to the Han family, win over some court officials! ”

Guo Jia put forward some small suggestions of his own in an instant, although it is impossible to remove the roots, at least it can ensure that the Son of Heaven and those careerists are not capable of causing trouble in a short period of time, and it can also ensure that there will be no civil strife in possible wars in the future.

"It's really a way to save the moment." Cao Cao nodded, but such a move can only ensure the stability of Xu Du for a year or even two or three years at most, and when the new court officials rise, Cao Cao does not believe that they will be a puppet with the Son of Heaven with peace of mind, so in the end, he will take risks for the sake of power.

"What Sikong said is true, but we have no other way, it's better to do these than for us to sit back and wait, don't you do nothing, watch Xu Du go down, or let them grow silently under the cover of Xun Yu!" Guo Jia and Xun Yu have no enmity, and they are even very good friends, there are too many things that the two drink in private, but they are not known to outsiders, they are all very secret things, but the contradictions between the two are mainly concentrated in the Han family and Sikong, so there are rumors that the two have discord with their documents, but this statement actually has some truth, but Guo Jia doesn't think so, because in his opinion, this is not a discord with documents, but Xun Yu eats inside and out, so he can't sit still, and must make some achievements, let Xun Yu die.

"Let's do this first, first completely solve Dong Cheng, a sentence to him is conniving enough, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't know that it was Wang Yue in the palace before, Dong Cheng would have been sent to the vegetable market, now that the water is out, then it's time to kill the chickens and monkeys and give them some warnings." After Cao Cao said these cold words, the outside world suddenly thundered, torrential rain poured down, thunder and lightning pierced the sky from time to time, illuminating the somewhat dim camp tent, and then the raindrops hit Zhang Ping and sounded like a crisp pipa sound like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate.

"It's raining." Cao Cao muttered to himself, this era is convinced of the induction of heaven and man, when he decided to do it, it actually rained such a big thunderstorm in an instant, so that Cao Cao always felt that this was a hint from God to him, he looked at Guo Jia, hoping that he could solve his doubts, but he didn't want Guo Jia to say the words "trapped dragon flying in the sky", which made Cao Cao chuckle in his heart, and instantly thought of something.

Obviously, he regarded himself as a trapped dragon, and under the current situation, he was trapped in Yanyu and couldn't move, if what Guo Jia said was true, then would he really be able to soar into the sky in the future?

Cao Cao thought in his heart, a little excited, but in the end, he rejected Guo Jia's plan to cut off Yuan Shao and control Pingyuan County and annihilate the Wenchou Jizhou army again, not that he didn't want to, but the risk was too great, he didn't dare to make a decision easily, or he didn't have the strength to gamble, once he lost, it would be a loss, and now is not the time for him to gamble on his future, the future of the world and the Han family.
