The bright red sun, the moon passing like a gap, the sky changing, just natural. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Where Daoxiang passed, the king soil artemisia, the war horses trampled, and the wise men sighed. There has never been an eternal son of heaven, let alone a 10,000-year kingship, and whoever has it is a king.

Knowing that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, there would naturally be many princes who were dissatisfied, including Yuan Shao and Liu Bei. Yuan Shao's momentary hesitation led to Cao Cao's opportunity; And Liu Bei didn't have this opportunity at all because of geography.

But the shrewd Liu Xuande, how could he stop there?

Xun Gang's surrender was not expected by him, but because of this, Cao Cao's power increased more than three times; Perhaps in Liu Bei's view, Cao Cao is still strong, but in Yuan Shao's eyes, it is a different scene.

Yuan Shao always thought that Cao Cao was his little brother, but he suddenly grew stronger, and his power was almost the same as his own, how could Yuan Shao allow it?

Liu Bei saw this, so he prepared to send a message to Yuan Shao, and at the same time pulled Huainan Yuan Shu in.

Liu Bei knew that Yuan Shu was a wolf and had no loyalty to the Han Dynasty; But all the power that can be used, how can Liu Bei let it go? Isn't he Yuan Shu still the emperor? Isn't it still a Han bureaucrat? Is there a problem contacting him yourself?

He is in order to crusade against the traitor Cao Cao.

However, all of this is in the planning stage, because this document is released, with Liu Bei's own strength, he will inevitably work for Yuan Shao, just like the Tiger Prison back then; Liu Bei thought that Xun Gang was stupid and handed over Xuzhou to himself, but he never thought that he who occupied the land of the four wars was a fool who was bullied by others.

After all, the Xuzhou he occupies, Yuan Shu in the south, Cao Cao in the west, and Yuan Shao in the north, which one is not several times the strength of his own? I am afraid that the only one I can bully is Xiao Pei's Lu Bu.

However, Cao Cao was well-informed, and received a report from an informant when Liu Bei hesitated; Cao Cao, who received the news, instantly broke out in a cold sweat, if he faced the enemy three times, he would have to lose a piece of meat if he didn't die.

"I didn't expect to be in such a sinister situation in less than a month after welcoming back Your Majesty!" Cao Cao couldn't help but clench the letter, his expression was not good-looking, "Any one of these three people is just a rabble, but the three parties join forces, I'm afraid it's a little tricky!" ”

Cheng Yujin said: "Lord, take advantage of Liu Bei's hesitation now, send elite troops to attack Xuzhou, and the battle can be decided!" ”

"Otherwise, Yuan Shao is afraid of His Majesty's prestige, and he has a lot of precautions against my Yanzhou, if we send troops, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to attack Dongjun." Xun You calmly analyzed that he was originally stranded in Jingzhou because of the blockage of the road, but because Cao Cao wrote a letter to him after welcoming the emperor to Xuchang, he came all the way to take refuge.

The two of them have their own opinions, but they only mean to send troops and not to send troops. Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind, looked at Guo Jia, who didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao is the first time to come, can you have a clever plan?" ”

Guo Jia used to be Xun Gang's subordinate, and because of this, he was quite untrusted, and Cao Cao also wanted to see if this Guo Jia really planned to be loyal to him.

Guo Jia didn't dare to slack off, so as not to show his feet, so he said calmly: "Lord, how can these three people unite together? ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, not understanding what Guo Jia meant.

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been incompatible, and even often turned against each other; Now Liu Bei is short-sighted, thinking that he occupies the name of justice, but in fact, he has not speculated about the thoughts of the two at all. Moreover, Yuan Shao won the position of general because of the lord, this person was indecisive, and he would inevitably throw a rat trap and dare not act without permission. There is also Yuan Shu's wolf ambition, which has coveted Xuzhou for a long time; What's more, this person never paid attention to Liu Bei on the grounds of the portal, how could he tolerate being on an equal footing with Liu Bei? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he clapped his hands and said: "Feng Xiao's clever plan, so I don't have to worry about it!" ”

"No, no, no, the lord is going to die!"

Cao Cao, who hadn't laughed for three seconds, suddenly turned pale, and wondered if Xun Gang was usually slapped in the face like this? Then he asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and did not speak, but looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and then looked at Mao Jue, Liu Fu and other officials of the Sikong Mansion, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

Guo Jia's intention is extremely provocative, if they can't answer, it almost shows that they are inferior to Guo Jia; And if they answer, then Guo Jia will also have a reputation for humility.

"Good fellow, wait here for me!"

Cheng Yu's face sank, looking at Mao Jue and the others, seeing that they looked at each other, it seemed that there was no trick, and he looked at Xun Yu again, and found that the latter just smiled slightly, as if he had already seen through everything, and then said: "Guo Fengxiao is worthy of his name, so talented, but he is qualified to enter our empty mansion." ”

Pretty! Cheng Yu secretly praised in his heart, in this way, either the people in Sikong Mansion will be raised, or Guo Jia will be lowered, you can choose for yourself.

Xun You is worthy of being Cao Cao's mastermind, if even Guo Jia can't clean it up, it will be too insulting to this name. However, Guo Jia didn't speak, he also knew that he was new to the city and couldn't go too far, so he deliberately asked: "I still hope that Brother Gongda will advise!" ”

Xun You said: "And today is chaotic, Kyushu is divided, the Central Plains is full of three points, Hebei is proud, Jing, Yang, and Yi are in a corner of peace, just waiting for the world to change." Now the lord is serving the Son of Heaven to order not to obey, and the princes of the world have not yet found out. If Liu Bei insists on making trouble and endangering my lord's wisdom, over time, my lord's name outside will become Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and other generations, and the notoriety will spread far and wide, and the world will rise up to ask for it, won't it be far away? ”

Xun You and Guo Jia's thoughts coincided, and the latter sighed again and again, but he didn't expect the people of the Xun family to be so perverted.

As Xun You said, the power of the people is the most terrifying, and over time, under the internal and external troubles, Cao Cao's current situation of being the enemy on all sides is not far from death?

Cao Cao was terrified when he heard this, as if a sharp blade was against his neck, making him suddenly feel difficult to breathe. And at this extremely serious moment, a crisp voice suddenly came: "This Sikong Mansion is not very good, it is far worse than my Taiwei Mansion!" ”

"Xun Gang?"

Cao Cao was shocked, when did Xun Gang come? And he was now standing outside the hall looking at the ducks on the pond, as if this was his home. Cao Cao was furious and scolded the guards on the side: "Why did he come to my mansion but no one reported him? ”

"This ...... Sikong, I don't know what the situation is, the guards at the main gate haven't reported it! ”

"Don't ask them, I came in over the wall. In other words, my Taiwei Mansion is next to Sikong, if you open the wall and build a door, it is good to have a lively relationship with Sikong on weekdays. Xun Gang smiled without knowing whether he was alive or dead, like a ten-year-old child who likes to have fun, just like a bear child.

Cao Cao was shocked, you must know that Xun Gang has always given him the impression that he is a young man and an old man, and occasionally acts naΓ―ve; But now Xun Gang gives him the feeling that there is only the word naΓ―ve, which makes all the scolding words in his mouth suffocated.

"Xun Gang, why did you trespass on our empty mansion?" Cao Cao frowned, he even faintly felt a hint of danger.

Xun Gang looked at the ducks in the pond and was fascinated after a long time before he said: "I didn't play in Taiwei Mansion, so I wanted to come to Sikong Mansion to get one or two playthings." ”

"Zunjia is a captain, ranking as the third duke, how can he be so rude?" Cao Cao scolded, "Can the official documents of the Taiwei Mansion be disposed of properly?" Your Majesty, is there a salute? Tai Lieutenant's business is heavy, how can he be like an idler! ”

Cao Cao looked like a strict father, just like asking his son if he had finished his homework and whether he had asked his father and brother to say goodbye.

"I have been imprisoned by the sect since I was a child, and I have never had the opportunity to have fun, and now that I am in charge of the affairs of Yuzhou, how can I not take this opportunity to have fun?"

Is this blaming himself for taking his power? Cao Cao's first reaction was this, but seeing that Xun Gang seemed to be really happy to play, Cao Cao removed this doubt again. The current Xun Gang is completely like a child who has been suppressed for a long time, just looking for opportunities to have fun.

It's really a ten-year-old child, no wonder he surrenders, I just want to play!

Cao Cao chuckled, his words were no longer serious, but he said extremely easily: "In this case, is the Taiwei willing to offer a clever plan for our company?" ”

Xun Gang waved his hand again and again: "Don't don't, I'm finally idle, don't let me see those boring maps again!" ”

"I have doubts, and I hope the captain can solve my doubts."

Xun Gang's hand teasing the duck paused slightly, and his words gradually became serious: "Sikong is worried, in fact, I don't want to pay attention to it; But Sikong is kind to me, and a certain deserves to repay ......"

The implication is to let you speak quickly.

Cao Cao didn't seem to expect Xun Gang to come up with any clever plan, or deliberately make things difficult, and tell him the cause and effect of the matter for him to analyze. I thought Xun Gang would be anxious, but I didn't expect him to say lightly: "It's simple." ”

Simple?

Not only Cao Cao, but even Cheng Yu, Mao Jue and others were stunned, but Xun You looked indifferent, he may have known that his "uncle" was completely not under him.

It's just that he doesn't want to be exposed.

Since he is of the same clan, Xun You doesn't want to expose Xun Gang's words and deeds, after all, they are all loyal to the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao is just a medium, without Cao Cao, he is still serving the Han, as long as Xun Gang does not do anything hurtful, he will not interfere.

"What's the simplicity?" Cheng Yu's face was serious, and his white beard fluttered as if he was about to rush to the crown in anger; They have been here for a long time, and you can simply send it away?

"There is a plan, which is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf."

"What do you mean to drive a tiger and devour a wolf?"

Xun Gang smiled and dialed the lake water, "Liu Bei claims to be a relative of the Han family and is loyal to the Han Dynasty, since this is the case, he issued a letter in the name of the Son of Heaven, accusing Yuan Shu of rebellion and ordering him to attack Yuan Shu." If Liu Bei refuses to allow it, he is disloyal to the imperial power and digs his own grave; If it is allowed, we will also benefit the fisherman! ”

Cao Cao was shocked and sighed: "What a clever plan! Then he hurriedly ordered people to prepare for this.

"Speaking of which, Sikong, I did you a favor, can you do me a favor?"

"Say!" Cao Cao was extremely heroic, without any doubt.

"You're a fun duck......"

"It's just a plaything, just give it to you!" Cao Cao didn't expect it to be such a simple thing, this guy really only knows how to play.

"I don't have a pool at home......"

"I'll start your majesty, and build one with you!"

"I want to play with Zun Gongzi."

"Play ......"

As soon as the words came out, Cao Cao was completely shocked, this kid ...... What did you just say?
