Xun Yu said with a serious face: "Lord, over the years, you have been fighting abroad all the year round, and you have not always been able to pay attention to Cao Cao's court, so it is not surprising that the lord doesn't care whether this master is famous or not." However, my lord, you don't know that today's Central Plains is developing extremely rapidly. This development does not simply refer to the enhancement of Cao Cao's strength, but to their overall level of development. ”

"This is such a situation, Cao Cao after losing with us in the battle for Jizhou and Jingzhou, and then lost troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, which made Cao Cao see the gap between us and our new Han Dynasty, so he learned from the pain, in recent years, concentrate on development, imitate some of the policies and practices of our New Han Dynasty, and formulate some new systems for governing the people. Today, the Central Plains controlled by Cao Cao, although it cannot be compared with the territory under the rule of our New Han Dynasty, it is undeniable that Cao Cao's series of measures have indeed won the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. Xun Yu said with a more complicated look.

For Xun Yu, if the forces hostile to the New Han Dynasty are inferior to his New Han Dynasty in all aspects, then he is very happy to see his court send troops to attack and return to the rule of the imperial court. However, if the people of those places are well developed and quite supportive of the local forces, then it becomes a problem. Xun Yu's heart, he naturally wants to see that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, if the place where he lives well, his court sends troops to attack, but it causes the people in those places to resist, then it is not Xun Yu's wish.

Or rather. At that time, Cao Cao took advantage of his father's murder in Xuzhou to attack Xuzhou, and Xuzhou was too guarded by Tao Qian at that time. The Xuzhou he governed was actually not very good. At best, it can only be said that it is not lost. However, even so, Tao Qian was still able to win the support of most of the people under his rule at that time, and hundreds of people were willing to live and die with Tao Qian and defend Xuzhou City together.

Now, in fact, it's pretty much the same thing. If the New Han Dynasty did not have a better name to attack the Central Plains, in case it caused the people of the Central Plains to revolt, it would not be the wish of the New Han Army to recover the world. Officers and soldiers of the New Han Army. I don't want to raise a butcher's knife against ordinary people.

It is also like that in Hanzhong, Guan Yu and Wei Yan led the army of the New Han Army to attack Shangyong City, but they saw that the people of Shangyong were desperate to fight to the death with their New Han Army. Therefore, Guan Yu and Wei Yan couldn't make up their minds to launch an attack regardless of the casualties of the people of Shangyong City.

At this time, it involves a relationship between the will of the people and the people. The army was nameless, and the people of the Central Plains did not understand, and they would inevitably be held hostage by Cao Cao's court to resist the attack of the New Han army.

"Cao Cao actually imitated the policy of our New Han Dynasty to govern the people of the Central Plains?" After Liu Yi heard what Xun Yu said. I couldn't help but be stunned.

If that's the case, I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem. Liu Yi was worried that the people of the Central Plains would support Cao Cao to fight with his own Han army because of their support for Cao Cao. In this way, the officers and soldiers of their New Han Army will have a feeling of being constrained. Anyway. It's okay to face Cao Cao's official military horses, but what if it is to face the resistance of ordinary people in the Central Plains? And, more worryingly. If Cao Cao can really win the support of the people of the Central Plains, then. I am afraid that the future whereabouts of his New Han Army will not be hidden. In other words, as long as his New Han army launches an attack on the Central Plains, his every move is probably under Cao Cao's control. In this way, this is no longer a matter in the name of sending troops, but a deeper matter, directly related to the question of whether his New Han army can defeat Cao Cao's military horses.

"Isn't that it? The current people of the Central Plains are generally full of praise for Cao Cao, praising that under Cao Cao's governance, their living standards have made a qualitative leap, and ordinary people seem to be able to live a better life, so they naturally think Cao Cao is good. This, the support of the people of the Central Plains for Cao Cao is different from Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, the people of Hanzhong, they are only confused and deceived by the Wudoumi Sect, and they will fight against our New Han Army together with the Wudoumi Sect. But the people of the Central Plains, they were really benefited by Cao Cao's rule, so they supported Cao Cao, so Xun was worried that our New Han Army would suffer from the resistance of the people of the Central Plains. Xun Yu said worriedly.

Liu Yi also frowned, Liu Yi couldn't help but think about Cao Cao in history, and suddenly remembered a little.

After Liu Yi established the New Han Dynasty, the Tuntian system that was implemented at the beginning was actually implemented by Cao Cao first, and it was Cao Cao who created a precedent. In addition, Cao Cao deserves to be a capable minister in governing the world, even if it is the Central Plains in history, under Cao Cao's governance, the people of the Central Plains can indeed live and work in peace and contentment. I remember that there are also some small stories about how Cao Cao won the support and love of the common people. It seems that Cao Cao's war horse was frightened and trampled on the people's farmland, and he cut his robe instead of punishment, and the simple people, because Cao Cao attached so much importance to their agriculture and the fruits of their labor, praised Cao Cao more.

Liu Yi couldn't help but start to treat this question cautiously, and couldn't help but say to Xun Yu: "Then Mr. Xun, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"My lord, now, we want to make a clear question, that is, to make it clear that our New Han Army is only sending troops against Cao Cao, not to declare war on the court of Xuchang. This battle was limited to a specific range, so that the people on both sides could not intervene. In this way, it will become a matter for our court and Cao Cao. For example, we can publicize to the world, convey the voice of our court to the people of the world, convey that our new Han Dynasty and the new Han army are not willing to fight a civil war again, and do not want to send troops to the court in Xuchang again, and hope that the two courts of our Han Dynasty can talk peacefully, and through negotiations, finally achieve the peaceful reunification of the two courts. Xun Yu said as if he had something to do: "If you can solve the problem without blood, why do you need to smoke again?" They are all Han Chinese, why do you have to fight to the death? If this war really starts, it will still damage the vitality of our Han people. Therefore, Xun begged the lord to wait for a certain person to go to Xuchang. Lobbying Cao Cao, focusing on the Han family. Persuade them to submit to our new Han Dynasty. ”

"What? If you want to lobby Cao Cao? Persuade them to surrender directly? Is this possible? Liu Yi was a little surprised why Xun Yu had such an idea.

"In principle, it is impossible." Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "But." If we don't do anything, don't do our instinctive duty, and don't try our best to fight for a peaceful solution and go to war, Xun feels uneasy, if you don't try, how can you know that it's not feasible? ”

"This ......" Liu Yi is really a little difficult to decide, because Liu Yi has already decided in his heart that Cao Cao is absolutely impossible to surrender easily, and he can't help but look at the civil and military forces in the court. "What do you think?" ”

"My lord, the minister thinks that what Wen Ruo said is also reasonable, first of all, in name, we have not been able to occupy the righteousness, but even if we know that we can't do it, we will do our best to do it. Let the two courts settle the dispute peacefully, this is indeed something that should be tried. If, through our efforts, we fail to achieve the goal we want, then. It's not too late to send troops. Xi Zhicai also nodded, agreeing with the meaning proposed by Xun Wenruo.

"If Cao Cao really doesn't want to surrender to us, then. At that time, this may also be used as a breakthrough, and Cao Cao will insist on going his own way. can't see the general trend of the world clearly, and would rather die than surrender for personal gain. denounced Cao Cao, which can be regarded as occupying a little righteousness. Guo Jia also spoke.

"Well, it seems that if you want to start a war against Cao Cao, you have to salute first and then soldier. Then so be it, you can send someone to lobby Cao Cao. Liu Yi saw that the four major military divisions had reached a unified opinion, and all the advisers who did not speak out also nodded silently, and Liu Yi had no choice but to agree.

However, Liu Yi did not think that this would have any effect, and said: "Then even so, how to send troops to attack Cao Cao in the Central Plains, we must not prepare in advance, we must make preparations with both hands, and do not put all our hopes on peace talks." To tell the truth, I don't have any hope that Cao Cao will surrender to our New Han Dynasty, so we must discuss it, and after the negotiation fails, our New Han Dynasty will immediately send troops to attack Cao Cao's plan. According to Cao Cao's current situation of governing the people of the Central Plains in accordance with the policy of our New Han Dynasty, the longer this time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. Do you understand? ”

There is another situation that Liu Yi did not say to the ministers, that is, now everyone is subconsciously thinking that the new Han Dynasty is strong, so it is natural for him to go to persuade Cao Cao to surrender to him. In fact, if the New Han Dynasty did not place itself above the court of Xuchang and looked at the court of Xuchang as an equal, then if it had to be said that it was resolved peacefully, then Cao Cao would in turn persuade himself to submit to their court?

In the battle with Cao Cao, Liu Yi knew that it had to be fought, but if there was really a fact that Cao Cao had won the support of the people of the Central Plains, then Liu Yi would have to think carefully about how to send troops when the time came.

In the name of the name, Liu Yi really has a bit of a headache for this, but in this name, Liu Yi can not care about it in his heart, but it is really a very serious matter. In fact, don't say that now, even in the future, when a force or a family wants to send troops to attack another force and country, they must always have an understandable excuse, and they can't just send troops to attack others for no reason, right?

But then again, now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, if every time you attack the princes, you have to find an excuse to attack in the name of something, then when will you be able to truly unify the Han Dynasty? According to Liu Yi's idea, there is no need to think too much about the recovery of the Central Plains, it is a strong suppression.

Liu Yi didn't believe that the New Han Dynasty didn't have a good reputation in the world, so he didn't believe that the people of the Central Plains would really support Cao Cao desperately. After all, the Central Plains is not like Zhang Lu's Wudou Rice Sect in Hanzhong, which uses the form of religious superstition to brainwash those people, so as to achieve complete control over those people, and can call on the people to fight for them.

However, now the people of the Central Plains, can they do everything for Cao Cao? Or there will be a part of the population that is Cao Cao's most loyal followers. The current Han people are too simple, loyalty and righteousness are engraved in their hearts, Cao Cao governs them, let them profit, and get a better space to survive, and those people are grateful to Cao Cao for sure. However, Cao Cao did not love the people like a son from the beginning, but now he is following the practices of the New Han Dynasty to govern the people. I believe that more people, who know what the situation of the New Han Dynasty was, will definitely understand why the New Han Army must destroy Cao Cao.

You must know that the people of the world have been thinking quietly for a long time, and it is also their heart's desire to look forward to the unification of this Han dynasty. Everyone knows that only when the Han Dynasty is unified will there be real stability in the future, and there will be no more wars.

However, the Manchu civil and military forces of the New Han Dynasty, including Liu Yi himself, no one thought that Cao Cao actually sent an envoy to the Xuchang Imperial Court. And it was such a coincidence that Liu Yi was just about to discuss with the ministers how to attack, and it had just been agreed that Xun Yu and other advisers would go to Xuchang to see Cao Cao, and a notice came from outside the palace, informing that Cao Cao had sent an envoy to ask to see the emperor.

Well, yes, it's to save the emperor, that is, the young emperor. But he didn't say he wanted to see Lew. For a while, it made Liu Yi and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military a little unpredictable, and they were not sure what Cao Cao sent an envoy for.

Also, when I came to the New Han Dynasty, I came directly to the palace, but I didn't say that I wanted to see Taifu Liu Yi, and I insisted on seeing the emperor and the young emperor, which is really a bit intriguing.

There is another problem, that is, above the current court, the emperor is not there at all, and he is not even in Luoyang at this moment. Before Liu Yi returned to Luoyang, under the arrangement of the Empress Dowager He Wan, the young emperor had quietly arrived at the palace in Chang'an. So, if you want to see the emperor now, how can you see it?

However, I just said that I was going to Xuchang to see Cao Cao, and now that Cao Cao has sent an envoy, Liu Yi can't see it. If you don't see it, then if you send someone to see Cao Cao and Cao Cao refuses to meet, wouldn't it be a futility for the person you sent?

This Cao Cao, the action is quite fast. Liu Yi couldn't help but smile, and immediately stood up from the dragon seat, walked down the stairs before the throne, and smiled at the courtiers freely: "Hehe, since the envoy sent by Cao Cao wants to see the young emperor, then this Taifu should avoid it, in front of outsiders, it will not affect the impact of sitting on this dragon throne." Well, you can figure out what the purpose of the envoy came to our Luoyang. ”

Don't come to see yourself first? Then I won't see him first, but I can let the people below receive him. (To be continued.) )
