Liu Xuan said: "Brother Meng De praised it falsely, I am all petty and not worth mentioning. www.biquge.info After a pause, Liu Xuan tentatively said: "After Brother Meng De seized Yuzhou, and now occupies Yuzhou and Yanzhou, what is Brother Mengde's next step?" ”

In a word, it aroused Cao Cao's vigilance.

Cao Cao stared at Liu Xuan with a glint in his eyes, and asked, "What are King Jing's plans?" ”

In front of Liu Xuan, Cao Cao would not say what he thought.

Liu Xuan said unhurriedly: "Is Brother Meng De interested in Yuan Shao?" ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, guessing in his heart, could it be that Liu Xuan planned to start a war with Yuan Shao? But at present, Cao Cao is not willing to go to war with Yuan Shao at all, because after he occupies Yanzhou and Yuzhou, his next plan is to attack Yangzhou and Xuzhou.

turned his face with Yuan Shao, it was a stinky move.

Of course, Cao Cao would not have said it.

Cao Cao smiled and replied, "Brother Xian, Yuan Shao is not only an old friend of my brother, but also a great kindness to me. No matter what, I don't want to be an enemy of Yuan Shao. ”

Liu Xuan sighed lightly: "It's a pity. ”

As for the attack on Yuan Shao, this is the end of it.

Liu Xuan changed his words and said: "Brother Meng De rarely comes to Huang County, and now it is evening, it is time to eat, and this king has set up a banquet in the mansion to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Meng De." Brother Meng De came this time, didn't he bring Xi Zhicai and others? Do you want me to send someone to please? ”

Cao Cao said: "They have something to do in the post house, and they can't come for the time being." ”

Liu Xuan said: "Even so, this king does not force it, today, this king and Brother Meng De are drunk and resting." ”

Cao Cao said: "You're welcome to be a brother." ”

Liu Xuan immediately arranged for the chef in the house to prepare a dinner, and after nightfall, Liu Xuan called Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Mi Zhu to accompany him, and Cao Cao pushed the cup and exchanged glasses, which was not lively.

Liu Xuan wanted to overthrow Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was extremely cunning.

Halfway through the wine, after two crooked sounds, he lay on the desk and pretended to be drunk. Seeing this, the people accompanying Cao Cao confessed and left with Cao Cao.

Liu Xuan saw it in his eyes, and secretly said that Cao Cao was cunning enough.

One pretended to be drunk and avoided the problem of drunken gibberish.

Cao Cao came to his senses after leaving the mansion and returned to the post house under the protection of his attendants. After washing his face, Cao Cao came to his senses, and sent someone to invite Zhicai and Xun You to the room.

Cao Cao looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "This official went to see Liu Xuan today and heard two important news. First, Liu Xuan will wait for everyone to arrive before talking about it, and this time, Liu Xuan will definitely open his mouth. Second, during the casual conversation, Liu Xuan asked me if I was interested in Yuan Shao, and I guessed that Liu Xuan might want to do something to Yuan Shao. ”

After thinking about it, Xun You said in a deep voice: "The lord's speculation about the first thing is correct, but about Yuan Shao's matter, do you know Liu Xuan's temptation?" ”

"Oh......"

After Cao Cao heard this, his cheeks suddenly froze, and his eyes showed a deep look.

Xi Zhicai continued: "Liu Xuan mentioned a sentence, it should be a test of the lord's attitude. Now that the confrontation between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is in full swing, and the two sides have not yet shown defeat, it is not the best time to attack Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Cao said: "What does Liu Xuan mean? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Maybe Liu Xuan did this to determine the direction of the lord's next troops?" ”

Cao Cao suddenly clenched his fists and said, "Scheme! ”

At this moment, Cao Cao understood.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he said, "At that time, I rejected Liu Xuan's proposal on the spot. Although I didn't tell Liu Xuan that I would focus on Yangzhou Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Tao Qian next, Liu Xuan must have calculated this point after my words. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Maybe Liu Xuan's direction is Xuzhou." ”

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and said, "After this matter is returned to Yanzhou, we will discuss it carefully." Now we have to settle the matter of grain seeds. Liu Xuan wants to wait for other people to arrive, and during this time, he will find out more information. ”

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai and Xun You replied.

……

After Cao Cao arrived, Fu Zhu, Tian Yu, Kuai Liang and others arrived one after another.

People from all walks of life arrived and stationed at the inn.

During this period, the envoys of the various princes were in frequent contact in private to prepare for the next negotiations.

According to the personnel, only Wang Yun was left who did not arrive.

On 14 February, spies reported that Wang Yun was less than eight miles away from the county seat. Liu Xuan got the news, so he took Diao Chan out of the house and went to the city gate to greet him.

The father-in-law came, and Liu Xuande personally greeted him.

Liu Xuan and Diao Chan waited quietly at the gate of the city, and Diao Chan stood beside Liu Xuan with an expectant expression. She has followed Liu Xuan to Huangxian County for more than two years, and she hasn't seen Wang Yun for more than two years, and Diao Chan's heart is also extremely excited.

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, a soldier shouted a warning.

Liu Xuan looked up and saw a team of people coming quickly on the official road.

A carriage, escorted by soldiers, approached the city gates.

In a short time, the carriage stopped at the city gate.

The curtain of the carriage door was rolled up, and a thin-looking old man stepped out. This old man is Wang Yun, more than two years have passed, Wang Yun has aged a lot, Liu Xuan took the initiative to greet Diao Chan.

Liu Xuandao: "Father-in-law! ”

Diao Chan said: "Father-in-law! ”

Wang Yun looked at the two of them with satisfaction, and smiled: "It's not a lot of courtesy." ”

Liu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law, I will prepare a banquet in the house to catch the wind and wash the dust for my father-in-law." ”

"Good!"

Wang Yun responded without hesitation.

The group entered the city and returned to the governor's mansion.

Wang Yun lived in the state pastor's mansion, accompanied by Diao Chan, Cai Yan and others, and the family gathered at night, and the guests and hosts were happy.

The banquet dispersed, Wang Yun traveled all the way and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Wang Yun had breakfast and sent someone to inform Liu Xuan that he wanted to talk to Liu Xuan about things. The two met in the study, and Wang Yun said straight to the point: "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man knows that you have planted new grain. The popularization of grain is a major matter that benefits the country and the people. So this time, the old man is coming back with grain seeds, and I hope you can give your full support. ”

Liu Xuan said: "In what capacity does my father-in-law talk? ”

Wang Yun said: "Your father-in-law." ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "Since I'm facing my father-in-law at the moment, is it okay not to talk about business?" ”

From Wang Yun's mouth, Liu Xuan knew that Wang Yun hoped to bring back a large batch of grain seeds at the smallest cost, or at the smallest cost. But Liu Xuan will not agree to such a thing.

Business for business!

Private matters are private matters!

Two things cannot be confused.

When Wang Yun heard Liu Xuan's words, he was stunned for a moment. Immediately, he recovered and said, "In this case, the old man will talk to you as a big Han Situ." ”

As an old fox in officialdom, Wang Yun is not in a hurry.

To negotiate, take your time.

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "If you talk about official business, you have to wait for the rest of the officials." I'm going to bring everyone together to discuss the grain seeds. ”

When Wang Yun heard this, his face changed.

Liu Xuan's attitude towards him was too bad, and he was completely unsympathetic.
