Cai Mao left the Prime Minister's Mansion a little confused, and he kept thinking about it along the way...... It's impossible...... How so?

Well, Cao Cao's reply was too surprising, how could Cai Mao never think that Cao Cao not only did not form an alliance with them, but also said that he would raise troops to help Liu Yi attack them?

Crazy, this world is crazy, a Liu Yi has already made all the princes in the world panic, if Cao Cao participates in denouncing them again, then the whole world, who can fight with Liu Yi and Cao Cao at the same time? Don't say anyone, even if the entire world princes are united, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of Liu Yi and Cao Cao.

If that's the case, is there still a way to live? Cai Mao's heart really fell to the bottom, and her heart was like ice. He knew that Liu Yi and Cao Cao teamed up to denounce the princes of the world might really become a reality, so where would he and his Cai family go in the future?

At this time, he had to think about his own and his family's way out.

Originally, as long as he sent an envoy to Xu Du and reached an alliance with Cao Cao, then his future prestige would also rise. When the time comes, he can really be regarded as above 10,000 people under Liu Biao. He is now in Jingzhou, although it is said that because he is Liu Biao's brother-in-law and has won Liu Biao's trust, he already has a prominent position in Jingzhou, especially in the Jingzhou military, his speech is still the top one. However, on the bright side, he is still just a military general. Everywhere it must be coordinated by the scholars of Jingzhou. Therefore, he won the post of envoy from Liu Biao, and came to Xu Du.

But. Now Cai Mao's mind is very confused, and she can't think of a thing to take for granted.

returned to the post station, but Cai Mao saw Guo Tu in the post station hall, walking back and forth, as if he was restless.

At this moment, Cai Mao didn't know how to tell Guo Tu what he had discussed with Cao Cao, because it was too panicked. It's too devastating.

"Oh no!" As soon as Guo Tu saw Cai Mao, he seemed to be more flustered and anxious than Cai Mao, and he took three or two steps to meet him. Said to Cai Mao: "General Cai, it's not good, I just received the news, the army of Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty." At this moment, it is marching to the junction of Youzhou and Hebei Prefectures. And ......"

"What?" When Cai Mao heard this, he was shocked at first, but he seemed to see the light in the darkness, because, according to Guo Tu, Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty had already marched to Youzhou and Jizhou, then wouldn't it be said. The New Han Army will not attack him Jingzhou for the time being? Isn't this tantamount to giving Jingzhou a time to relieve stress?

"And what?" Cai Mao finally felt a little comforted, and asked Guo Tu again. Cai Mao's heart actually had a little feeling of schadenfreude. After all, Cao Cao did not agree to form an alliance with him in Jingzhou, so naturally he would not form an alliance with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and now the army of the New Han Dynasty has marched to Youzhou and Jizhou, which proves that the target of Liu Yi's attack is his Guo Tu's lord Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, anyway, it is Guo Tu who is really panicking now, not him Cai Mao, at least, for the time being, Cai Mao can be at ease.

Guo Tu naturally didn't bother to take a serious look at Cai Mao's expression at this moment, and he said with a pale face: "And, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, he has also announced the world and has submitted to the New Han Dynasty, that is to say, Liu Yi doesn't have to fight, he has already obtained Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou ......"

When Guo Tu said this, his tone seemed like he was about to cry, and he muttered, "It's over, it's over...... This time, if I can't form an alliance with Cao Cao, I'm afraid that my Jizhou will fall into Cao Cao's hands......"

"Mr. Guo......" Cai Mao wanted to open his mouth to comfort Guo Tu, but the news that Gongsun Chan had returned to the New Han Dynasty made him feel another stalk in his heart, because, Liu Yibing got Youzhou without blood, so the power of the New Han Dynasty will be greater, so how long can Yuan Shao resist with Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty? If even Jizhou fell into the hands of Liu Yi, would it be far from the unification of the New Han Dynasty? In particular, if Cao Cao formed an alliance with Liu Yi, then, after destroying Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the target of the New Han Dynasty would definitely be his Jingzhou. Thinking of this, Cai Mao's heart didn't feel good.

"No! We must persuade Cao Cao to form an alliance with us, and now, only Cao Cao can send troops to confront the New Han Dynasty. Guo Tu waved his fist violently, and said to Cai Mao as if he had just woken up: "By the way, General Cai, how is the matter of discussing the alliance with Cao Cao?" It's done? ”

Guo Tu's eyes showed an incomparably hopeful gaze, because this was already his last hope.

"This ......" Cai Mao really didn't know how to talk to Guo Tu, he said dejectedly: "Mr. Guo, I think, it's better for you to go back and discuss with Yuan Shao as soon as possible how to fight against the New Han Army, because ...... Because ......"

"What? What's wrong with that? Could it be ......" Guo Tu seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and his anxious face suddenly lost blood.

"Alas, that's right, the talks collapsed, Cao Cao didn't plan to form an alliance with us at all, the current Cao Cao is no longer the previous Cao Cao, he now has a court, different from those of us who were originally Han Chen's princes, he said, the Tao is different, it is impossible to form an alliance with us, on the contrary, he will form an alliance with Liu Yi and attack us together." Cai Mao sighed, but still told the story of this meeting with Cao Cao.

"What? Cao Cao is not allied with us? How is this—how is this possible? Guo Tu's reaction was the same as Cai Mao's when he was rejected by Cao Cao, his first reaction was to feel that Liu Yi and Cao Cao should be one mountain and no two tigers, how could he not take this opportunity to form an alliance with them to destroy Liu Yi?

Well, in the minds of the world's powerhouses, they will subconsciously regard Liu Yi as their enemy. After all, from the very beginning, Liu Yi's existence made each of them feel a little uncomfortable, a guy who started by some homeless people, no matter how they looked at it, they felt a little unpleasant. Even if the first emperor recognized him as his younger brother and included Liu Yi in the genealogy of the royal Liu family, it could not change the fact that Liu Yi was from a low background.

In particular, the policies of the new Han dynasty were, strictly speaking, the most serious and violent conflict with their interests. They were originally aristocrats, that is, landlords and tyrants, and now let Liu Yi do this, no one dares to increase too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and no one dares to ignore the people under his rule like Yuan Shu in Yangzhou at the beginning, and only levy tyranny.

I don't know when Lu Dao has been, saying that for the people of the world has become the mouth of the princes, only they know that all this is Liu Yi's fault, if it weren't for Liu Yi to get an example in front, who of them would really care about the people?

In general, not only Guo Tu, but also people with status in the world in general, consciously and classify Liu Yi as their opponent.

Therefore, now Guo Tu is a little puzzled, and he can't understand why Cao Cao didn't ally with them to destroy Liu Yi.

"Impossible! I'm going to see Cao Cao! Guo Tu said stubbornly.

"Whatever you want, I—I want to be alone for a while!" Cai Mao knew that Guo Tu was still not giving up, so he didn't persuade him.

"Wait for my good news, I don't believe that Cao Cao can watch Liu Yi's family dominate, by the way, the news of Gongsun Zhan's return to the New Han Dynasty just now was sent by my head of the family after he knew Lu Dao, Cao Cao may not know Lu Dao, if he knows Lu Dao, maybe he will change his mind!" Guo Tu found an excuse that could convince Cao Cao and give himself a little confidence.

"Then Cai will wait for your good news!" Although Cai Mao didn't have much hope for an alliance with Cao Cao, it was not good to hit Guo Tu's confidence, and gave him an encouragement: "Come on!" The survival of our two families depends on you, Mr. Guo. ”

Guo Tu clenched his fists heavily, waved them, collected his mood, and rushed to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knew that after Cai Mao left, he would definitely exchange words with Guo Tu, and he also knew that Guo Tu should still come to see him, so he stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion and did not go to the court.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear a report from the guards, saying that Guo Tu wanted to see him.

Cao Cao did not leave any difficulties, and directly let Guo Tu go to the meeting hall.

Cao Cao now enjoyed watching the disappointed expressions of these princes' envoys, this kind of unexpected, deeply surprised, and deeply devastated demeanor only made Cao Cao get some indescribable satisfaction and pleasure from it.

Once upon a time, he was as worried as they were, but now, hehe, Cao Cao has only hehe.

"Prime Minister, Guo heard General Cai say, Duke Cao, you actually refused to form an alliance with the princes of the world? This is not your Cao Mengde's character! Guo Tu did not take out the letter sent by Yuan Shao and handed it to Cao Cao, because he knew that it was meaningless to take it out to Cao Cao at the moment, as long as Cao Cao was willing to form an alliance with them, then Yuan Shao's letter would be the same whether it was shown to Cao Cao or not, and he could slowly let Cao Cao look at it, he said: "Cao Cao back then, but he took the world as his own responsibility, in order to eradicate the lawless ministers, in order to get rid of the traitorous ministers who destroyed the discipline of the Han Dynasty, he was willing to take risks with himself, dare to be the first in the world, and call on the heroes of the world to denounce the traitors of the great heroes of the world, but, Why did you Cao Cao stand on the opposite side of the heroes of the world when the world needed you Cao Cao? ”

Therefore, Guo Tu decided to provoke Cao Cao first, he first called the prime minister very seriously and seriously, followed by the relatively respectful Cao Gong, and then Cao Mengde, and after the last, he called Cao Cao directly, and pretended to be angry and angry.

"Poof......

Seeing Guo Tu like this, Cao Cao didn't care about his attitude of being respectful and condescending, and couldn't help laughing. (To be continued......)
