Chapter 460: A Strange War
Thinking to no avail, everyone's eyes are focused on Mo Shuyan, if you want to talk about who knows Xu Zisheng's intentions best, I'm afraid no one can have Mo Shuyan's influence.
Mo Shuyan, who was in deep thought, felt the burning gaze of everyone, and said with a wry smile: "I can't guess Xu Zisheng's thoughts either. ”
"There must be a purpose for doing this."
Cao Cao didn't believe that Xu Zisheng would do useless work, after all, he had already tried before, and whether he attacked Xuchang or Jingzhou, he would fail.
"For now, let's meet the enemy first and then talk about other things." Xun Yu said.
"That's all it takes, generals, please go back and prepare, and when I decide who to go to the battle, you can set off." Cao Cao commanded.
"No."
After receiving the order, the Eighth General retreated, and it will take time to complete the army, but it will not be able to do it in a moment and a half, and it is necessary to prepare in advance.
After the eighth general left, Cao Cao asked Mo Shuyan again: "If Mr. has an opinion, please know everything, even if it is uncertain, it can be regarded as a reference." ”
Speaking of this, Mo Shuyan didn't say anything, and instead expressed his own opinions: "Xu Zisheng's actions should be a war started when he learned that the spies in our territory were uprooted and wanted to take revenge on us, or in other words, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rescue those spies who were still fleeing." ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, this statement is also true, according to Xu Zisheng's temperament, he suddenly suffered a major loss, and it is inevitable that there will be some impulses, so it is reasonable to set off this war.
For now, Mo Shuyan can only think of this, and as for the deeper reasons, I am afraid that he will have to judge the situation.
"Why don't Mr. go with me, and after watching the after-effects, I can also see what conspiracy Xu Zisheng has, how about it?" Cao Cao asked at the right time.
Mo Shuyan admitted that he did have some impulses in his heart, about Xu Zisheng's affairs, he still had a strong desire to participate, and being able to deal with Xu Zisheng was fascinated by him, but when he thought of the two daughters, this impulse dissipated a lot.
Bowing down, Mo Shuyan said softly: "This time, let Zhong Da accompany the lord to go, maybe it can play an extraordinary role." ”
"Mr. thinks highly of Zhongda, looking at Mr.'s ability, Zhongda is not as good as Yicheng." Sima Yi smiled bitterly.
Without waiting for Mo Shuyan to refuse again, Cao Cao already sighed and said: "Since Mr. is unwilling to go with him, don't force it, and ask Mr. to always pay attention to the movement of the front line, if you have any ideas, you can inform them urgently." ”
"No."
For this, Mo Shuyan naturally agreed, it was impossible to do nothing, even if he stayed in Xuchang, he would be responsible for supervising the role of the war situation.
Immediately, Cao Cao led Cheng Yu and Sima Yi away, leaving only Xun Yu, who had a great change in his opinion of Mo Shuyan.
After Cao Cao and the others left, Xun Yu stepped forward and asked softly, "Could it be that Mr. really plans to get out of this situation?" It's not good to be afraid of getting killed. ”
"Why?"
Mo Shuyan's heart froze, and he didn't understand what Xun Yu meant.
I saw Xun Yu shook his head, stared at Mo Shuyan and said: "Sir, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking, Mr. should know this truth." ”
"I know, but now that the big thing hasn't happened, how can this be?" Mo Shuyan frowned slightly, still not understanding what Xun Yu meant.
To say that Fan Li and Xi Shi are in seclusion, which is similar to the meaning of Mo Shuyan wanting to retire now, but that is also based on the victory of King Yue and the achievement of the overlord's position, and now there is still a long way to go before the achievement of great things, how can he start with him.
"Mr. knows many affairs of our army, has a great relationship with Uncle Liu Huang, and has a favor with Liu Qi in Jingzhou, not to mention the people of Jizhou, respect for Mr., in all this, Mr. is in seclusion, there is no value, but it has gradually become a hidden danger, sir, what do you think will be the result?" Xun Yu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Mo Shuyan came back to his senses for a long time, and he didn't notice that his back had been wet with cold sweat, according to Xun Yu's statement, it is indeed impossible, Cao Cao's temperament has always been that he would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me, once Mo Shuyan has something to anger Cao Cao, it is very likely to lead to death.
At that time, it was too late for Mo Shuyan to regret it, everything was already doomed, and Cao Cao would not easily change what he said.
"Thank you Wenruo for reminding me."
Mo Shuyan solemnly bowed, and his gratitude to Xun Yu in his heart was beyond words, in the past, Xun Yu estimated that he wished he would be disposed of, but now he has become protective of him, all because of the reconciliation with Xun Yu last time.
"Sir, I'll take my leave."
"Walk slowly."
Immediately, Xun Yu left the palace, and the expedition was imminent, and he couldn't do anything less, and he had to hurry up to complete it.
After Xun Yu left, Mo Shuyan also left, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and walked slowly outside, outside the hall, although it was early spring, the weather was not warm, and the coldness of the outside world made Mo Shuyan's heart a little cold.
Mo Shuyan walked towards the outside of the palace city with a blank gaze, and he didn't meet any acquaintances along the way, as for those guards and maids to salute, Mo Shuyan didn't pay attention to it, but walked forward silently, he found for the first time that this court was bottomless, and it was beyond his imagination at all.
After all, in this era, the doctrine of loyalty has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and no one can tolerate the slightest betrayal from his subordinates.
On the other side, Cao Cao, who had completed the whole army, had already taken Liu Xie's holy edict and ordered Xiahoudun to lead the vanguard army, escort the grain and grass, and take the lead in setting off, as for Cao Cao, he took Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Xu Huang and a group of soldiers and horses, followed closely and marched to Luoyang.
As for Cheng Yu, he stayed in Xuchang, temporarily assuming Cao Cao's responsibilities, supervising hundreds of officials, and managing internal affairs.
According to Cao Cao's initial judgment, if Xu Zisheng retreats from the army on this trip, it is a temptation, if he does not retreat, it is to attract his own army and give those spies who are not yet dead a chance to escape, after all, the spies who can still survive now are all elites, and it is worth Xu Zisheng to send troops to help.
Luoyang City, a figure wandering at the city gates, if Mo Shuyan is here, he will definitely recognize this person, it is the Wuri who rescued him, Wuri probed at the various city gates, and finally could only leave this place with a frown, I don't know where to go, the purpose of his trip is needless to say.
