The one hundred and sixty-seventh episode of Cao Cao, who pits the protagonist again

"Dong Zhuo is dead? Who killed it? Wang Yun? Then if he dies, does my edict to keep Chen Liutaishou still count? ”

Looking at the messenger from Beijing, Cao Cao treated him coldly, and his words did not have the slightest heat; Although the envoy was impatient, he could only ease his mood and said: "Cao Fujun, this is also what Your Majesty meant, so Chen Liutai's position is still the ...... of Fujun."

Cao Cao threw the edict on the table and said with a smile: "Change me from the Dongjun Taishou to the Chen Liutai...... Does it make any sense? It just so happened that Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban some time ago, so it is better for me to do the history of Yanzhou assassination! ”

Cao Cao seemed extremely dissatisfied with this appointment, because he knew that this was Xun Gang's small skill of carving insects. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Now everyone knows that Chen is in the hands of Yuan Shu, and if he goes to be Chen Liu's Taishou, won't he have to merge with Yuan Shu?

He is not stupid, he was able to defeat Yuan Shu last time because he had the advantage of the terrain, and now he doesn't have the heart to confront Yuan Shu. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban has broken through Yanzhou, and the situation is precarious, and he is discussing the matter with his staff.

The messenger didn't expect Cao Cao to be so rude, and relied on his identity to reprimand: "Cao Mengde, this is the holy will, how dare you disobey?" ”

"Naturally, the holy will will not dare to disobey, but if it is Wang Yun or some local officials, then I don't want to!"

"You!"

The envoy didn't expect Cao Cao to dare to openly disobey the holy will, and he was furious in his heart, but he thought that the strong dragon would not suppress the head snake, so he could only swallow his anger, retrieve the edict and leave angrily.

Cao Cao smiled, and now Xun Gang's careful thinking came to naught!

But at this time, Chen Gong, a staff member under his command, stepped forward and said: "My lord, now that Yanzhou has no owner, I have already gone to persuade Liu Dai's subordinates to drive and govern the middle people, and intend to elect the lord to Yanzhou." Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin also has this intention, now the yellow scarf is rampant, only the lord can break the yellow scarf and sweep away the obstacles in Yanzhou! ”

Cao Cao nodded, praised Chen Gong, and said, "Enter Yanzhou...... Hehe, if it weren't for Liu Dai's death, how would I dare to imagine? After all, it seems that I should be grateful to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban! ”

Xiahou said: "There are more than 300,000 Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou, and there are nearly one million of their families!" Such terrifying data will be difficult to deal with when the people of Yanzhou counties are gathered! ”

"The Qingzhou Yellow Turban is not enough to be afraid, I am only afraid of the Chen Liuyuan Shu ......" Cao Ren on the side said, "If he takes advantage of our attack on the Yellow Turban to do anything, then we will be unable to take care of it, and we will definitely be defeated!" ”

Cao Cao also said: "This is what I am worried about! ”

Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "My lord, we formed an alliance with Xun Gang before, although there was a slight gap due to Yuan Shu, but after all, the alliance is still there." Now I am waiting for them to send troops to deter Yuan Shu, and it is not a good strategy. ”

Cao Cao remembered that day when he robbed Xun Gang cheaply, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that he won't accept it." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, this time I will go in person, and I will say that Xun Gang will come to help!"

Cao Cao could only hope for this strategist under his command, and instructed the other generals to prepare to go to Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, to discuss with the governor of the state on a strategy to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

………………………………

A few days later, Chen Gong came to the county of Yuzhou, but saw that the city of Qian was thick and the people lived in peace, and he secretly admired Xun Gang's governance ability.

Now no one in the world dares to laugh at Xun Gang, the six-year-old Yuzhou pastor, because people not only defeated Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, but also governed a poor state county like this, it is really difficult to be an ordinary person, what qualifications do you have to ridicule?

Chen Gong walked to the door of the State Pastor's Mansion, straightened his clothes, and said to the guards at the door: "Please report it, Chen Gong under the command of the East County Taishou asks to see the Yuzhou Pastor...... Oh, it's a greeting gift. ”

The so-called greeting gift refers to bribes for those guards who are unwilling to report, which has basically become the norm in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Chen Gong even dared to confirm that his lord Cao Cao's subordinates must also have such people.

The guard examined Chen Gong and walked straight in, making Chen Gong extremely embarrassed, and the hand that had already stretched out the bribe also paused there; He wanted to ask the people on the side about the situation, but he knew that Xun Gang had already ordered the staff on duty not to speak, and Chen Gong couldn't come up with anything.

After a while, the guard came out and said, "The lord let your Excellency in." ”

Chen Gong nodded in a panic, put the bribe back away, and trotted all the way into the state pastor's mansion.

In the council hall of the state pastoral mansion, there are civil and military generals from all walks of life sitting neatly, and the child in the middle is like a giant god on the top of a high mountain looking at himself, and his thin body contains endless majesty, so terrifying!

Chen Gong swallowed his saliva and almost messed up: "Chen Gong, a staff member under the Taishou of Xiadong County, has seen Xun Yuzhou. ”

Xun Gang didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "Why did Cao Cao send you here?" It can't be the fluke victory ten days ago, and now you ask me for sin, right? ”

When Xun Gang hears Cao Cao now, he is not the heroic Cao Cao of a few years ago, but a Cao Cao who sits on the profits and steals the fruits of his victory. So in the face of Cao Cao's messenger, he did not give a good face, but deliberately embarrassed him.

Chen Gongqiang calmed down and said: "Xun Yuzhou is fallacious! Cao Fujun crossed Chen Liu, negotiated with Taishou Zhang Miao, and finally arrived in Yuzhou. It's just that when I arrived, it coincided with the defeat of Yuan Shu in Xunyu Prefecture, so I bumped into it! ”

Xun Gang got up and said angrily: "That's a good thing! Everyone in the world knows that Cao Mengde is 5,000 wins and 40,000, who knows that I lost my troops and expelled Yuan Shu? ”

Chen Gong instantly felt that the atmosphere in the hall had changed, especially the sturdy man beside him, his eyes seemed to be able to pop out! Although the civil officials and staff members were expressionless, Chen Gong knew that these people did not have a good face for themselves.

Diplomatic envoy, it is really a thankless job, this is much more difficult than I exhorted Yanzhou to deploy and let Cao Cao take charge!

Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "Xun Yuzhou is angry, didn't my lord send me to make amends this time?" ”

Xun Gang sneered: "Make amends? Don't make amends for being so late! Hurry up and tell me the right thing, Cao Cao sent you here this time, did you let us be his meat shield again? ”

Nima ...... I even made you guess it!

Chen Gong was embarrassed, he also knew that Cao Cao betrayed Xun Gang in the first battle of Xingyang, and now Cao Cao stole Xun Gang's achievements, which will inevitably cause Xun Gang to be dissatisfied. However, this also gave Chen Gong a preliminary understanding of this young man - too self-willed, too easy to be swayed by emotions!

"To tell you the truth, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban a few days ago, and the people in the state decided to let my lord temporarily take over Yanzhou affairs to retire the Yellow Turban. It's just that Chen Liuyuan Shu has always been restless, and my lord hopes that Xun Yuzhou can help contain Yuan Shu and prevent him from getting in the way of the crusade against the Yellow Turban......"

"Get out!"

Who knew that Xun Gang hadn't spoken yet, Dian Wei on the side couldn't sit still, and scolded: "Cao Cao, this guy always wants to sit and collect benefits, and now under the pretext of crusading against the Yellow Turban, he wants us to help him clean up Yuan Shu, how can this be the case in the world?" With that, he threw the table in front of him and threw it in front of Chen Gong's feet.

Chen Gong was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, but fortunately, Xun Gang ordered: "Dian Wei!" How can you blame the innocent messenger for your own grievances? Go down with me! ”

Xun Gang was indeed angry, after all, it would be a shame to let the envoy see his irritability.

"You go down first, and I'll tell you when I'm done talking."

Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had been on the battlefield once, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back. He bowed respectfully, said "wait for good news", and quickly left.

After Chen Gong left, Xun Gang asked the advisers to express their opinions. Among them, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other ministers expressed their support, but the generals led by Xu Chu expressed their opposition. In their opinion, it is absolutely useless to help Cao Cao, and even have a deeper friendship with Yuan Shu, which is not in line with their own interests.

Xun Gang also thought deeply, he Cao Cao had made meritorious contributions to the Yellow Turban and was praised by the imperial court, why did he have to help him to support Yuan Shu?

However, Xun Yu said: "My lord, we have already received the news that Dong Zhuo is dead, and the court has fallen into the hands of Wang Yun; Wang Yun and the lord are all the way, and we are all loyal ministers of the Han family. Now that the Han Dynasty has signs of revival, and Yuan Shu's rebels have the intention of usurping rebellion, why not get rid of them and uphold the hearts of the loyal Han people in the world? ”

Dong Zhuo...... Dead? ”

For some reason, a closed-moon beauty dancing solo on the lake slowly emerged from his heart.

You okay?

Xun Yu's sentence is analyzed from the perspective of righteousness, and he does not forget to put the Han family on his lips; After all, Xun Gang and the emperor are sworn brothers, and they should solve problems for him and remove obstacles in the world.

Xun Gang was a little distracted, and only said after a while: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Xun Gang's question, Guo Jia replied: "Lord, if Wen forces the lord to send troops in the name of righteousness, it is different from my opinion. Now Cao Mengde has entered Yanzhou, using our forces to exclude dissidents, and then rule all the counties and counties of Yuzhou. And if we attack Yuan Shu this time, we can attack Chen Liu to consolidate his power, so as not to make Cao Cao alone. Cao Cao took so much of my cheapness, and he was embarrassed to come and ask for Chen Liu. ”

"So...... I'm going to send troops anyway? ”

Listening to the meaning of the two most important advisers under his command, Xun Gang nodded helplessly, it is undeniable that what the two of them said is extremely reasonable.

"Okay, then let's send troops!"
