Chapter 195: Heaven is seamless, carelessly revealing the hole cards
PS: Thank you for the daily rewards of "Snow Lotus Fragrance in the Night" and "Ahru Love Peach"! Bow and thank you!
The drum does not need to be beaten with a heavy hammer, as early as when Cao Cao deliberately made an intimate gesture of talking in a secret room, intending to show Qin Xu's true intention to come to Chen Liu, he had already exposed his original intention. Not to mention that although Qingyan and the two states have repeatedly formed alliances, they both know very well that the binding force of this kind of alliance is really not very good, just based on Qin Xu's understanding of Cao Cao, I know that this old Cao is definitely not grateful just because Lu Bu returned Cao Song's ancestors and grandchildren, let alone remember the so-called life-saving grace to Cao Song who made Cao Cao ugly outside the city.
Cao Cao is gambling, betting that Lu Bu sent Qin Xu with such fanfare, and his intention was also in Chang'an. After all, when Lu Bu ran out of Chang'an, in fact, it was a desert and fled, which was for Lu Bu, although he preserved his strength, but after all, it was not a glorious thing, if what Qin Xu just said about Chang'an news was true, after understanding Lu Bu's true attitude, it was better to make the necessary response, the left and right were just a low profile, and there was no substantial loss to Cao Cao, if it was used well, it could add a boost to Cao Cao's secret discussions with Mao Yu and other close ministers.
And Qin Xu is also gambling, betting on the analysis of Cao Cao's character in history. Qingzhou is tired, the catastrophe is coming, Lu Bu's military strength seems to be strong, but in fact, the decline of the lack of stamina has been revealed, and the matter of Chang'an is already more than enough and not enough, and there is Yuan Shao in the north who has the upper hand in the battle with Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, who has a grudge against Lu Bu because of the matter of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao in the west is not a master who can settle down. can only see whether Lao Cao really deserves Xu Shao's evaluation of "the capable minister who governs the world, the hero of the troubled times", and Cao Cao's self-description of himself at this time in the "Let the county name itself Benzhi Order" made by Cao Cao in his old age. Let's see if Lao Cao really cares about the Han family at this time.
It can be said that both Cao Cao and Qin Xu think that they have each other's hole cards in their hands and test each other.
"Zhong Ming's previous actions gave Cao a headache, which shows that the young hero is a hero!" Cao Cao at the banquet was also a master of manipulating people's hearts, and he seemed to be ashamed of his defeats in the battle against Qingzhou in the first few times, but regarded it as a joke. With a little sincerity in his faint self-deprecation, he talked eloquently in front of Cao Song and Cao Ang, and was full of praise for Qin Xu's ability. It's the hostility between each other before, and it's easy to feel a little bit of intimacy.
"General Cao praised it falsely, Xu was just a few flukes, and he really didn't deserve to be a young hero. And General Cao is always a big deal. It can be said that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. The speed of the march and the wonder of the layout can be called comparable to the art of war of Sun Wu and Sui Ju. "This man's flattery is a compulsory subject in the workplace of later generations, how can the ancients be allowed to specialize in beauty? Cao Cao is currently collecting ancient books and has begun to plan to write his new book on Mengde, although Qin Xu's words are not very pleasant to listen to. But it just happened to Cao Cao's itch, which made Cao Cao's vigilance worse. I like Qin Xu's interest even more.
"How late is Cao to meet Zhongming!" Cao Cao sighed again, but without waiting for Qin Xu to answer, he chuckled and said, "But as Zhong Ming said before, Feng Xian and Cao are both Hanchen, and they fight the royal family together, so what is the difference between each other?" But Cao was paranoid. And ask Zhong Ming to drink another glass, and the right to thank Cao Mou. ”
"Lord......" Without waiting for Qin Xu to humbly say a few words of thanks, he saw an attendant leading a scribe with a serious face, who Qin Xu had never seen, walked in quickly, and said a few words in Cao Cao's ear with an anxious face, and then Cao Cao looked at Qin Xu, who was drinking indifferently, and nodded solemnly.
"It seems that Lao Cao's news channels are also very well-informed! I got the news so quickly. Qin Xu said to himself. Although Cao Cao is not a person who pays attention to the rules and pays attention to the occasion, but on Cao Cao's so-called "family banquet", the scribe's behavior is obviously very rude, but looking at this person's anxious face, there must be something big happening, and it is too late to estimate these red tapes, coupled with Cao Cao's eyes full of surprise and scruples just now, I think that only the confirmation of Chang'an's matter can make Cao Cao lose his temper. Originally, the reason why Qin Xu set out from Linzi and marched all the way to Chenliu was to make a time difference, so that Cao Cao was caught off guard by the sudden incident in Chang'an, so that Qingzhou could effortlessly mix with Cao Cao's secret plan to get a piece of the pie. And with Cao Cao's concern for Chang'an, this time the two thieves of Li and Guo Yan blocked all roads in Chang'an, which will definitely cause alarm, and at this time, coupled with what Qin Xu said in the secret conversation with Cao Cao in the carriage, Cao Cao must not be involved.
"Lu Qingzhou is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao's face gradually calmed down, and his tone was calm and people couldn't hear joy and anger, but this sentence, which was quite like an exclamation, made Qin Xu feel a little unwilling from Cao Cao. Thinking about it, I thought that my plan was seamless and took the lead everywhere, but I didn't expect that the most important news I heard was actually sent by Lu Bu in Qingzhou, which made Cao Cao, who has always been very high-spirited, a little unable to swallow this breath, but he couldn't swallow it, this kind of taste of not being able to go up and down did make Cao Cao feel quite aggrieved, coupled with the vigilance of Lu Bu paying so much attention to Chang'an, Cao Cao finally groaned for a long time before he sighed and said this sentence.
"Xiaoxian, this is the Qingzhou Shaofu Qin Xu Qin Master Book, Ma Teng Han Sui and Li Guo two thieves exchanged news, Qin Master Book has been informed the day before yesterday, so he took the opportunity to send the old lady to Chen Liu, inform Yu Cao!" Cao Cao was also single, seeing Qin Xu's breezy appearance, he didn't hide much, and said bluntly: "This time, the master of Qin also brought the intention of Lu Qingzhou, wanting to help us and other Han ministers save the Son of Heaven from the hands of thieves, and do the thing of serving the Son of Heaven to kill the emperor, in order to kill the royal family and prosper the Han Dynasty." ”
"Master Qin?" Mao Jue was originally because the matter was urgent, and he lost his mind for a while, and Cao Cao had previously instructed that no matter what he was doing, as long as there was news of Chang'an, he would be the first to inform him at night. The news that his family secretly learned because he had been paying attention to the northwest had been learned by Qingzhou at least two days ago, after listening to Cao Cao's words. Mao Jue, who was once the teacher of Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, was also a little out of shape for a while.
"Mr. Xiaoxian, Qin is polite! For General Cao and Mr. Xiaoxian, who always put the safety of the Son of Heaven at heart, Qin has always admired him. Qin Xu stood up with a smile, and under Cao Cao's gloomy gaze, he said to Mao Jue, who was a little embarrassed: "General Cao and Mr. Xiaoxian don't need to be suspicious, as early as a year ago." When Lu Qingzhou ran out of Chang'an to leave a hope for the Son of Heaven, he paid attention to Chang'an all the time. Especially when he was in Hanoi, he discovered the trick of Yuan Shaode's advisers who wanted to depose the emperor and set up Liu Yu in Youzhou. He has long wanted to work together with General Cao, who was the first to save the Son of Heaven in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and Mr. Xiaoxian and other loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. However, there are many good things, and there are many misunderstandings in Qingyan Erzhou, and even until today, they can show their hearts. What a pity! ”
"I don't dare to be the praise of the master of Qin! ......" saw that Cao Cao's face became more and more black and purple. Mao Jue also lost his mind for a while, so he could only smile and say: "Presumably, with the help of Qingzhou in this matter, it will inevitably be like a tiger with wings, and save the Son of Heaven from danger as soon as possible, and return to ...... In the old capital, the thief's rebellion can be eliminated, and the day of the Han Dynasty can be expected. ”
"As the gentleman said!" The smile on Qin Xu's face became thicker, and he was embarrassed to see Cao Cao and Mao Jue because the secret matter they were trying to be mixed in by Qin Xu's "cheating" means. In the past six months, Yanzhou has been staring at Qingzhou like a maggot on the tarsal bone, making Qingzhou unable to do the depression of development without distraction. Finally, at this moment, it all spread out. It is conceivable that as soon as Qin Xu's words came out, he had been enduring humiliation for the big things he was trying to do, allowing Qingzhou to use several times to weaken Yanzhou's repeated blackmail, and even taking on Cao Cao's forbearance outside Xuzhou City, who was afraid of Lu Bu's name, became a joke.
"Since the matter is really as Zhong Ming said before, the stakes are very high, please forgive Cao for his doubts before." Cao Cao took a deep breath, instructed Cao Ang to help Cao Song back to the back hall to rest, took a deep breath, and forcibly held back to strangle the smiling weird kid in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a slight mockery: "I just don't know what Lu Qingzhou has to teach Cao this time, Master Qin is here to stay, presumably not just to tell the news, right?" Could it be that the 1,000 soldiers outside the city and you, Qin Xu, are the soldiers of King Qin who Lu Qingzhou has 20,000 soldiers and wants to send? ”
"General Cao said he was laughing!" Seeing that Lao Cao had a tendency to be anxious, Qin Xu also put away the smile on his face at the right time, it was too much, this excitement would not be successful, but it would really provoke something, it was not fun. Even if there is a great god like Dian Wei by his side, Qin Xu will not use his own life to stab Cao Cao, who is already a little embarrassed at the moment, and still said with a smile: "The so-called soldiers are not too much, and I am not afraid of General Cao's jokes, Qingzhou is tired and the world knows it, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion is flattened, and the whole territory is repeated, since it cannot be compared with the strength of the Yanzhou soldiers, it is still not enough to take care of itself, this thousand soldiers are already the limit of the soldiers who can take out their hands, but it is more than enough to cheer for General Cao." However, General Cao does not need to be annoyed, General Lu once said when Xu came, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and there is no image of the national capital, but General Cao's new Xu County in Yuzhou is the former capital of the Xia Wang, close to the old capital and less war, to be the place of worship of the Son of Heaven, slightly repaired, but quite suitable for the Son of Heaven to live temporarily. I wonder if General Cao thinks so? ”
"How do you know...... ...... "As soon as Qin Xu's words fell, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly shot out a terrifying light when he heard the words, and he stared closely at Qin Xu, who was not ashamed of his words, vainly trying not to come out with a single soldier, and to divide many benefits, and the killing machine disappeared in a flash. And Mao Jue, who was secretly ashamed because Cao Cao showed his bottom and fell into passivity, stared at Qin Xu as if he had seen a monster, full of surprise.
Xu County, this is the place where Cao Cao and Mao Jue, Xun Yu and others chose to settle the Son of Heaven if Chang'an succeeded, and there are only three people who know it, and now Qin Xu said it through Lu Bu's mouth, and Cao Cao and Mao Yu were shocked, did someone accidentally leak the news? Or did they think that the seamless plan was already in Qingzhou's grasp? Anyway, Qin Xu knows too much...... (To be continued......)
