Chapter 206: Cao Leopard's Back Pottery
After Ye Mo learned that Sun Jian's army was also on the way, he accelerated the pace of the march again, and finally arrived at the city of Qian County before Sun Jian. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] It's just that Ye Mo rushed to the north of the city with these vanguard troops, and the Xuzhou army led by Cao Bao was stationed in the east of the city.
After Ye Mo arrived, he asked people to go to the Xuzhou military camp to thank him. Although the Xuzhou army took the initiative to send troops, no matter what, among the princes of the Han Dynasty, only Tao Qian sent troops to help the imperial court, which is true. Now Ye Mo is just the vanguard of the army, although he can't come up with anything good to thank, but it is necessary to say thanks.
After Cao Bao met with Ye Mo's envoy, he consciously or unconsciously expressed his hope that the imperial court would be able to take Xuzhou back to his jurisdiction. It's just that the messenger didn't dare to call the shots, so he could only bring back Cao Bao's words and pass them on to Ye Mo.
In Xu Huang's temporary camp, Ye Mo called several main generals to the main tent, including Xu Huang. Xu Huang refused because he felt that he was an outsider, but Ye Mo kept Xu Huang behind, not to recruit Xu Huang. Anyway, Yang Feng will definitely throw himself into the imperial court, then Xu Huang will definitely follow to the imperial court, in this way, Xu Huang will definitely not be Ye Mo's enemy, so what does it matter if it is Ye Mo's own subordinates?
The reason why Ye Mo called Xu Huang together was because Xu Huang did not become a "good general of the five sons" by force alone, and Xu Huang's intelligence could not be ignored. Now Ye Mo can discuss the problem, the only people are Dian Wei, Ye San and Xu Huang, Xu Huang is the one who can come up with some ideas.
Ye Mo looked at the few people in the seat, and after saying the words sent back by the messenger, he found that the people in the seat were silent. Dian Wei was silent, because Dian Wei was still thinking about what Ye Mo wanted to express in that call. Ye San was silent, because at that time, Ye San didn't understand Ye Mo's words. Only Xu Huang was thinking carefully about the impact of Cao Bao's words.
Ye Mo looked at everyone, and first asked Chong Dianwei, "Hong Fei, what did you hear?" ”
"My lord, you literati are just a lot of flowers, and you have made several turns when you say a word. If you want me to say, just say what you want to say. If there is anything disrespectful to the lord in this Cao Bao's words, then I will go and take his head. As he spoke, he made a gesture to get up.
Ye Mo hurriedly stopped Dian Wei and said, "Hong Fei, don't be impulsive, there is nothing disrespectful in Cao Bao's words. It's just some of the meanings in Cao Bao's words, but they have a profound impact and have to be treated carefully. ”
Dian Wei listened to Ye Mo's words, and then sat back in his seat, but he still chattered: "Alas, you literati, I really can't understand it. If there is anything that can't be said directly, it has to be so twisted and turned. ”
Ye San, who was next to Dian Wei, listened to Dian Wei's words, and couldn't help nodding. Ye San originally had a detached personality, and he was usually able to spend time studying some terrain and military formations, which was already his limit, but now let him participate in this kind of open and secret battle between politicians, but it was difficult for Ye San.
When Ye Mo saw Ye San's expression, he directly ignored Ye San's opinion, and Ye San couldn't say anything anyway. After skipping Ye San, Ye Mo looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming has an idea?" At the beginning, Ye Mo called Xu Huang still "General Xu", but Xu Huang didn't dare to call himself a general in front of the imperial lieutenant, not to mention that he was still a general in a thief army of the Han Dynasty, so Ye Mo directly called Xu Huang's cousin.
Xu Huang thought that he was an outsider and would not be asked by Ye Mo, but he didn't expect that now Ye Mo skipped Ye San and asked him directly, and he was suddenly a little excited, but how did Xu Huang know that he would be too lazy to ask Ye San.
"My lord, my subordinates think that the reason why General Cao is like this is related to the situation in Xuzhou today. As we all know, Tao Zhoumu is now old, and his body is weak, and his time is running out. However, the status of the Cao family in Xuzhou is not as good as before, not to mention the Chen family, even the Mi family also has a posture that surpasses the Cao family. Speaking of this, Xu Huang paused, and then saw the look of appreciation in Ye Mo's eyes, and then continued.
"All families in the world are selfish. The Cao family couldn't compare to the Chen family, because the Chen family had been running Xuzhou for a long time. However, the Mi family started by business, and its status in Xuzhou is already on par with the Cao family. The Mi family's business started, and it was not integrated with other families, but Tao Qian vigorously supported the Mi family to suppress the Cao family in order to balance. In this way, Cao Bao was naturally dissatisfied, so he said this. ”
Ye Mo listened to Xu Huang's words and nodded again and again. Xu Huang's analysis was similar to what he had guessed, but Xu Huang didn't expect that the reason why Cao Bao wanted the imperial court to take back Xuzhou was to suppress the Mi family and become the first family in Xiapi. More importantly, the Chen family, the Chen family has almost developed Guangling City into a subordinate city with the surname "Chen". Cao Bao, as one of the three major families in Xuzhou, since he can't reach the height of the Chen family, he can only destroy the Chen family by the hands of the imperial court. And Ye Mo had a history of destroying the Wei family, so he was naturally taken by Cao Bao.
"If Komeito is in my current position, will I agree or not to agree to Cao Bao's request?" Ye Mo looked at Xu Huang and continued to ask. Ye Mo didn't know if Xu Huang would think of this layer, but as the saying goes, "one person decides, two people are wise", it always doesn't hurt to ask.
Where would Xu Huang have thought that Ye Mo would ask him such a question, after hearing Ye Mo's question, Xu Huang was stunned for a moment. Where is Ye Mo inappropriate, he is an outsider, he is simply an insider, ah no, he is simply his own person.
His brain quickly turned around a few times, and then Xu Huang said: "My subordinates thought that I could agree to Cao Bao's request." ”
Ye Mo listened to Xu Huang's words, nodded again, and coincided with his thoughts again. Xuzhou is now in Tao Qian's hands, although Tao Qian sent troops to drag Yuan Shu's hind legs, and even directly solved a big crisis in the imperial court. However, it is an indisputable fact that Tao Qian ran Xuzhou and made it impossible for the imperial court to intervene. (In other words, the relationship between Xuzhou and the imperial court is really complicated.) )
If the imperial court wanted to take back Xuzhou, it was destined to fight Tao Qian. Now Tao Qian still has a good relationship with the imperial court, but no one can be sure that Tao Qian will not turn his face in the next moment. Therefore, if Cao Bao is willing to gamble on the Cao family to assist the imperial court in recovering the ruling power of Xuzhou, then why not?
As soon as everyone finished talking about Cao Bao in the tent, another soldier came in from outside.
"Report to your lordships and generals, Sun Jian's army has arrived at the city of Qiaoxian and is now stationed in the southern part of the city." When the soldier came in, he had not very good news.
It's just that after Ye Mo heard the news, he didn't think there was anything bad. If others saw Sun Jian stationed outside the city, they would definitely think that Sun Jian's camp and Qian County had become a corner, and the guards relied on. But Ye Mo understood that Sun Jian was nominally Yuan Shu's subordinate, but he had already been self-reliant, and even said that he had already become self-reliant.
As for Yuan Shu, he has long stopped treating Sun Jian as his subordinate, who has ever seen a subordinate who would rob the lord of things? Although this thing is not much cared about, this lord also doesn't care much. What's more, now that Sun Jian is developing towards Jiangdong, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties for the time being, but if the two sides can last, there will be a war in the future.
"Send someone to Sun Jian's camp, and say that I, Ye, have admired the Jiangdong Tigers for a long time, and I hope to see each other." Looking at the soldier kneeling in the tent, Ye Mo opened his mouth and said, but after he finished speaking, he burst into laughter. In the eyes of Xu Huang and others, Ye Mo knew that Sun Jian was not good, but he took the initiative to make an appointment, and he had the demeanor of a hero. xh118
