Chapter 80 - Cao Apu's Ambition
In the Yanzhou Pastoral Mansion, Cao Cao hid alone in the study, staring at the edict of the Son of Heaven placed in the corner of the bookcase, and was speechless for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the moment Cao Cao received this edict, Cao Cao has never left this study again, and he has not seen anyone under his command.
Cao Cao's advisers were probably able to guess what was written on this edict, and they also understood the entanglement in the hearts of their lords, so they did not appear in front of Cao Cao's eyes, which annoyed Cao Cao.
It's just that although he understood in his heart why Cao Cao couldn't immediately give the edict, after a long time, these strategists still discussed it in private.
Xun Yu carried a pot of fine wine, walked into a room, and said to the figure lying on the bed in the room: "Zhicai, I'm here, don't you get up to greet you?" โ
"Wen Ruo is here, since he came, he will do whatever he wants, why do you want me to get up to greet him?"
Xi Zhicai turned over on the bed, and then ignored Xun Yu.
Seeing this scene, Xun Yu shook his head helplessly, and found a place at random to sit down.
Glancing at the lazy figure on the bed with his back to him, Xun Yu sighed lightly and placed the wine in his hand on the table.
When I lifted the lid on the flask, the room was filled with the aroma of fine wine.
"Wen Ruo, sigh well, if you are like this, ......"
"Huh? This is ......."
Xi Zhicai, who was still complaining, shrank his nose and smelled the smell of wine.
The body that was still very lazy immediately got up from the bed and rushed to Xun Yu's side quickly. Without glancing at Xun Yu sitting next to him, Xi Zhicai directly took out a small wine glass and poured the wine in the jug into it.
After a full drink, Xi Zhicai looked intoxicated and slurped.
"I knew that if I wanted to wake you up from the bed, I had to use wine!"
After finishing his alcohol addiction, Xi Zhicai remembered that there was still a Xun Yu sitting next to him.
Listening to Xun Yu's teasing words, Xi Zhicai chuckled, then put down the wine glass in his hand, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Xun Yu.
"It's my mistake, I hope Brother Wen Ruo won't blame me!"
After Xun Yu listened to Xi Zhicai's words, he waved his hand: "It's okay!" Brother Zhicai, you are a wonderful person, a wonderful person should have a wonderful person's behavior, even the lord has never blamed you, how dare I blame! โ
"What's more, it's not been a day or two since I've known you Xi Zhicai, don't I know what kind of person you Xi Zhicai is?"
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Xi Zhicai laughed, and then Yu Xun Yu sat opposite him.
Glancing at the wine jug placed on the table, Xi Zhicai's eyes revealed a hint of pity: "It's still Brother Wen Ruo who understands my temperament, but Brother Wen Ruo brings less wine!" โ
"This time I came to you to play Zhicai, not to drink your wine, but to ask your opinion on something!" Xun Yu looked at Xi Zhicai's face, and said in a serious manner, "It's inconvenient to drink more this time, if you come again next time, I will definitely have a good drink with you Xi Zhicai!" โ
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Xi Zhi took a good look at Xun Yu, was silent for a while, and then picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine.
Picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, put down the finished wine glass, and exhaled slowly.
"The Lord Guild is edicted!"
After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Xun Yu's heart breathed a sigh of relief.
What he feared most was that Cao Cao would not be edicted and would go to the former capital of Luoyang to help the emperor of the Han family.
"Since I have your words to play Zhicai, my heart is broad, and I won't bother this time!"
After saying that, Xun Yu got up and said goodbye.
Xi Zhicai looked at Xun Yu and got up to salute, but unexpectedly didn't get up to reply, just silently looked at Xun Yu's figure and walked towards the door.
When Xun Yu's figure was out of sight, Xi Zhicai made a move.
After drinking a glass of wine left by Xun Yu, Xi Zhi played with the wine glass in his hand and muttered softly silently: "The lord will indeed give the edict, but it is not because of the reason you Wen Ruo has in mind. โ
"Don't forget the policy proposed by Mao Jue and Mao Xiaoxian for the lord: today's disintegration, the relocation of the country, the abandonment of the people, the famine and exile, the public has no savings for years, and the people have no will to be stable, and it is difficult to last...... Husband and soldier, the righteous win, defend the position with wealth, it is advisable to serve the Son of Heaven to order not to submit, cultivate and plant, livestock and military resources, so that the cause of the overlord can be successful. โ
"By the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate! On the other hand, there is no difference between the poisonous Jia Wen and the 'serve the country to conquer the world' proposed to Li Dao! โ
"Today's lord is no longer the lord who killed Dong thief for the stability of the Han family, this Han family has long been rotten and cannot be saved!"
When Xi Zhicai talked about the excitement, he couldn't help coughing angrily.
After calming down, the silk cloth that Xi Zhi used to cover his mouth was bright red.
Looking at the dazzling blood red on the silk cloth, Xi Zhicai didn't react much, and after a full glass, he drank the wine and laughed loudly.
"Xun Wenruo, it's not that I'm not a friend enough, so I don't mention to you the ambition that has just risen in the heart of the lord, but the Han family is crippled, and it is definitely not that a few people can help the building! Now that I am nearing my life, for the sake of the people of the world, I can only hide it from you, so that the lord can really coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to end this troubled world as soon as possible! โ
In the study of the Yanzhou Pastoral Mansion, Cao Cao sighed lightly, he still couldn't make a decision.
After the battle against Dong, he had already seen the cowardice of the emperor of the Han family and the disobedience of the princes.
originally thought that after Wang Yun killed Dong Thief with a beautiful serial plan, the Han family would be saved, but he didn't want to, Li Dao and Guo Yan led the remnants of Dong Thief's Xiliang army back to Chang'an.
forced Wang Yun to death and held the Son of Heaven hostage, so that the last ray of hope for the revival of the Han family also came to naught.
After the Son of Heaven was cowardly and the court was helpless, the loyalty in Cao Cao's heart also became wavering.
Cao Cao is not a saint after all, and he also has all the desires of a layman.
When his loyalty to the Han was repeatedly ruthlessly attacked, the desire in his heart slowly opened the shackles.
Closing his eyes, Cao Cao was in a state of confusion about the future, unable to determine his loyalty to the Han family.
Just when Cao Cao closed his eyes and immersed himself in his mind, the words that Mao Jue had said to himself in the past suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's heart.
Opening his eyes, Cao Cao looked at the edict on the table, picked it up, and muttered softly: "Is it the order of the Son of Heaven not to be subordinate?" โ
"No, I, Cao Mengde, don't need to serve the Son of Heaven to order the princes, I just need to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!"
