The pastor of Bingzhou, Youzhou, appointed by the Son of Heaven, was driven back to Wancheng in such a gloomy manner, which made Yuan Shu feel a great humiliation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So, Yuan Shu entered the palace again.

When Yuan Shu, who was fierce and had a dark face, appeared in front of him, the little emperor's face was as calm as water, without the slightest psychological fluctuation.

Dong Zhuo is as irritable as fire, Li Ru is as yin as ice, compared to the two of them, Yuan Shu's style is more ridiculous in the eyes of the little emperor.

The little emperor is actually not small. He ascended the throne at the age of ten and has been an emperor for five years. Although in the past five years, he has never experienced the feeling of being supreme in the Ninety-Five. However, the more things you experience, the faster your growth will be.

Fifteen-year-old Liu Xie is much more mature than his peers.

The powerful ministers around him have generally changed one after another, and there are fewer and fewer loyal ministers and important ministers who can be relied on. The little emperor gradually understood that he could no longer rely on anyone to revive the Han Dynasty, he could only rely on himself. Only when he himself becomes strong can he completely avoid the appearance of one ill-intentioned minister after another around him.

"Han Jun does not respect the holy order, acts recklessly, and his disobedience has been revealed. I beg Your Majesty to order all the princes of the world to rise up and punish this thief! ”

Yuan Shu's words were sonorous and powerful, but in the ears of the little emperor, they seemed as absurd as a fantasy.

Glancing at Yuan Shu silently, the little emperor said indifferently: "If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Qing also participated in the previous battle against Han, right?" ”

Yuan Shu's old face turned red, no matter how thick-skinned he was, when he heard the little emperor mention this, he couldn't help but feel empty. Gai sent troops because of Yuan Shu, his motives were not pure, and in the end, he abandoned the safety of the little emperor and fled the battlefield with the imperial army, which was really too embarrassing.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shu threw those unpleasantness behind his head, and Zhengse said again: "This time, that time." As far as I know, Han Jun has just returned from the Dongying Kingdom, and the veterans of the division are tired, and it is the time when he urgently needs to recuperate. Moreover, Han Jun'er was young and arrogant, did not obey the emperor's orders, made enemies everywhere, and was tyrannical, and there were already many complaints in the secluded territory, and he was always looking forward to the arrival of heavenly soldiers. If you send troops to fight at this time, there is no reason to be invincible when the weather is in line with the time and the people's will!

The little emperor smiled, with a disapproving expression, "Yuan Qing is in charge of the world's military power, and he has been in battle for a long time, both civil and military, whether to send troops or not, the general is in charge." I don't have any opinion. ”

Suffering makes people grow, and the little emperor at this time has already lost all naïve fantasies and has become terrifyingly rational and realistic.

The little emperor's interest was not high, and Yuan Shu was not in the mood to continue talking.

Arching his hand very casually, Yuan Shu directly said in a commanding tone: "Since Your Majesty does not object, then immediately make an order, order Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, immediately stop attacking each other, turn enemies into friends, join forces, do your best, and Northern Expedition Han Jun!" ”

The little emperor nodded expressionlessly, but his heart was full of contempt and disdain for Yuan Shu. With his toes, he knew how Cao Cao and Tao Qian would react when they received the will. Yanzhou and Xuzhou, thousands of miles away from Youzhou, and there is a Yuan Shao in between, how could they act according to their orders?

The prestige of the Han family has been trampled under the feet of princes from all walks of life, so why should they bother to ask for themselves?

The little emperor can think of it, can Yuan Shu not think of it? Nature is impossible. Although he thinks highly of himself and is arrogant, he is not a brainless person, but in this case, why would he do so much?

Cao Cao said, "Yuan Shu, his actions are unpredictable, and his heart can be punished!" ”

Xi Zhicai twisted his beard and groaned: "That's right, since Yuan Highway coerced the Son of Heaven, he has been arrogant and domineering, and his ambition is obvious. Recently, it was reported that Sun Wentai's son Sun Ce destroyed the city in Jiangdong, but in half a year, the six counties of Yangzhou have obtained three counties. In this way, Yuan Shu's ambition will inevitably swell, and if it is not restricted, the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years may be ruined! ”

"No way!"

Huo Ran, an old man who was sitting beside Xi Zhicai, stood up, shook his head with a solemn face, and said: "Although Yuan Highway is arrogant, after all, he is a nobleman, and after receiving the emperor's grace, how can he do that rebellious thing?" ”

Cao Cao pursed his lips disdainfully, "Zhongde's words are wrong, how could Wang Mang not be tired of the grace of the mighty monarch in the past?" Yuan Shu is far from Wang Mang's temperament, but his ambition is better than Wang Mang's. In my speculation, it will be as short as a few months, or as long as about three years, and Yuan Highway's ambition will inevitably rise to the point of uncontrollable, and it is not a lie to usurp the Han Dynasty and become self-reliant! ”

Zhongde, that is, Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's "five masterminds" in history, a native of Dong'a in Dongjun, was appointed by Cao Cao as the commander of Shouzhang County last year. Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao by Lu Bu, Chen Gong said that when the army was raised against Cao, if there was no Cheng Yu to stay in the rear and desperately block the attack, Cao Cao's base camp would inevitably be unprotected and become a lost dog.

Therefore, Cheng Yu also became Cao Cao's confidant.

Cheng Yu is a human being with an upright temperament, but he lacks the opportunity to change, so like most people, he has not understood the mystery behind this holy decree.

Cao Cao's explanation still did not let Cheng Yu go, and he touched his long beard and sighed: "If this is the case, then Yuan Highway will definitely kill himself!" ”

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, pounded the table with regret on his face and said, "I only hate that I was one step late at that time and let the Son of Heaven be robbed by Yuan Highway!" ”

Xi Zhicai blinked his eyes and comforted: "The lord doesn't need to be like this, I deduce that it is impossible for our army to meet the Son of Heaven before Yuan Shu that day!" ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth regretfully and resentfully, waved his hand irritably, and said, "Don't mention this matter again!" The most tricky thing at the moment is how to solve the scourge of Lu Bu. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, and didn't say any more. He knew very well in his heart that Cao Cao appreciated Han Jun, and I am afraid that Cao Cao had already realized that Han Jun had intentionally given the Son of Heaven to Yuan Shu that day. You can't think about these things, and you don't dare to think about them.

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Lu Bu, Puffle!" Those who rely on it are all Chen Gong's schemes! ”

Cao Cao nodded sadly, Chen Gong was also his subordinate before, and he knew a little bit about Chen Gong's ability. But it's a pity that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and Chen Gong, who was the first to advocate welcoming himself as the pastor of Yanzhou, finally stood on the opposite side of himself.

Why?

Is it just because he killed Bian Rang? But why can't you kill Bian Rang? Is it just because he is a celebrity that he has a gold medal for avoiding death?

Cao Cao had thought about this issue more than once, and there was no doubt that the crime was conclusive. But why can't Zhang Miao and Chen Gong understand their hard work?

If you don't kill the side, the law will inevitably collapse. If the testimonies are broken, how can they rule over the people?

He hesitated and reflected, but Cao Cao never regretted it. I think that back then, the young and vigorous northern lieutenant of Luoyang dared to kill the powerful Jian Shuoqin uncle, and now he is in power, how can he bow his head because of a mere concession?

The older the rivers and lakes, the more timid they become, this sentence is true, but the principle in Cao Cao's heart has never wavered. Cao Cao was not a Confucian scholar, he advocated more of the Legalist "law as teaching". No matter who it is, it will be responsible for breaking the law, this is Cao Cao's principle of being a person!

Xi Zhicai lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Has the lord ever thought about how to deal with Tao Qian if Lu Bu is inevitably linked to Tao Qian?" ”

Cao Cao's brows tightened, he came back to his senses, looked at the map and groaned for a moment, shook his head with confidence: "Xuzhou is rich, Lu Bu is a soldier, if this is the case, then we will definitely die and be buried!" However, there is no need to worry about it, this matter will never happen! ”

Xi Zhicai was surprised: "Why? ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "There are no two days, and there are no two masters!" Lu Bu first betrayed Ding Jianyang, and then executed Dong Zhongying, with a bad reputation and well-known. Tao Qian, the master of success, mediocre, colorless and courageless, there is no way to lure wolves into the house and bring about their own destruction! ”

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and thought about it, and was about to open his mouth when he heard Cao Cao say again: "Moreover, Zhicai should not forget Liu Bei." ”

"Liu Bei?"

Xi Zhicai frowned and puzzled: "I have also heard of this person, first voted for Gongsun Zhan, and then attached Yuan Shao, all of them have not made much achievements, towards Qin and Duchu, and Lu Bu is the same raccoon dog, what is the way?" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zhicai's words are wrong! In my opinion, this person is by no means a thing in the pool, and what he lacks is only a chance to soar into the sky! Moreover, this person's ambition is not small, and he is by no means willing to be inferior. Tao Gongzu does not know anyone, and he will be deceived by him and regarded as a confidant. With this person, it is impossible for Lu Fengxian to go south to Xuzhou and join forces with Tao Qian! ”

"Oh?"

Xi Zhicai blinked, he was skeptical of Cao Cao's words, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only nod and say: "In any case, Lu Buyi should get rid of it as soon as possible, so that he can never suffer in the future!" ”

Cao Cao approvingly: "That's exactly how it should be!" ”

But soon, Cao Cao's face darkened, "It's just that Yanzhou's grain production has decreased this summer, and there is a shortage of military food, so I can't send troops!" ”

Xi Zhicai also sighed when he heard this, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The military rations are insufficient, and even if he has unpredictable abilities, he can't use them.

Cheng Yu's eyebrows flashed with a hint of fierceness, he bit his lip and clenched his fists and said, "Don't ask again, the lord." With my 3,000 soldiers and horses, the matter of military rations can be solved by Yu! ”

Cao Cao was surprised and asked, "What can Zhongde do?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head, "Don't ask again, give me three days, and I will definitely prepare military rations!" ”

Cao Cao hesitated, nodded and didn't ask any further.

Similar to Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, who was born in a commoner, also followed the way of Legalism. He is rigid by nature, and he has always done whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Even if it hurts the sky and destroys people's hopes, there is nothing to fear!
