Whether it is political means or military talent, Cao Cao can be said to be the top figure of this era, especially his adaptability and ability to survive in adversity, which people dare not underestimate, because he is very good, so the things that accompany him are often extraordinary!

Yang Xiu's suggestion is to directly kill Cao Cao, and then derive his own power on the basis of Cao Cao's strength, and directly turn the Cao Group into a force loyal to the Han family, this suggestion seems absurd and nonsense, but the ideas in it are still desirable; Because of the arrival of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, there was a crack in the originally stable Yanzhou forces again, whether it was the eyeing of external forces or the internal families and scholars who had been unwilling to be lonely, they were all loopholes that could be exploited; If at this time, the Han Emperor Liu Xie had enough courage to directly kill Cao Cao, and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop when the military strength in Xuchang City was empty, then a new moment could be ushered in. Either way, with the right means, anything is possible!

But there is also a great risk in this suggestion, and the cutting point of this risk lies in whether they can kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and if they can't kill the tiger, they will be devoured by the tiger! Cao Cao's tiger is not a simple character, if this incident happened and he didn't die, Liu Xie would be in danger!

Maybe Cao Cao will not kill the golden sign of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, taking a step back, even if he does not kill him, Liu Xie will never come out in the future; Waiting for him is the courtyard of the deep palace, heavily guarded, he will truly become a puppet, while being used by Cao Cao; Yang Xiu's strategy made Liu Xie's heart chaotic, and he fell into another choice, he had enough of this kind of forced helpless choice! When Dong Zhuo held him hostage, he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, but he didn't, and now the person who held him hostage was replaced by Cao Cao

Cao Cao's behavior may be similar to Dong Zhuo's, but it should not be confused; Dong Zhuo is very dangerous, because this is a reckless man with no foresight, this reckless man will be angry because of a little thing, recklessly target Liu Xie and his courtiers, and recklessly do things that seem to be rebellious in the eyes of people, Cao Cao will not do this at all in this regard, he is a measured person; Cao Cao is also dangerous, precisely because he is more measured compared to Dong Zhuo, so he is more dangerous, Dong Zhuo is more aimed at Liu Xie's own harm, he did not shake the capital of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao has this condition, he is more of a threat to the Han Dynasty

"Coerce Cao Cao and order the princes" This is a suggestion from Sikong Zhao Qian to Liu Xie at the last moment of his life, if there is no such sentence, compared to what Yang Xiu said today, Liu Xie will not be so difficult

Liu Xie has been accustomed to harem battles in the deep palace since he was a child, and he is very experienced in this regard, and he has seen all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, but he has seen and witnessed that he has no actual combat experience after all, and he still can't grasp some things; I don't know if he thought too much or didn't have enough courage, he didn't take the risk of killing Dong Zhuo, and the current situation is even worse than back then, Liu Xie doesn't know if he should show his courage If he didn't show his courage this time to get rid of Cao Cao cleanly, then what about next time?

People are always complicated, and Liu Xie didn't have a straightforward choice to use Yang Xiu's suggestion after all, but he adopted a compromise method, he didn't come forward, and someone who was loyal to him would implement the plan

"Bong-hyo! Do you think I'm a little too indecisive? I found that sometimes I am really similar to my Yuan Shao brother? I care so much about fame! Cao Cao patted his head, with a wry smile and helplessness; Xuchang City is the center of Cao Cao's power, and now it is the capital recognized by the imperial court, no matter how empty the power is, it is also full of Cao Cao's eyes and ears, although Liu Xie, the son of heaven of the Han family, cannot completely control every move of Cao Cao, the basic situation still cannot escape; Liu Xie's frequent contact with Yang Biao and Yang Xiu in the past few days, can Cao Cao not be suspicious? Cao Cao caught a hint of wind and grass from it, and because of this, he made this appearance; "Yes!" , Guo Jiashen nodded approvingly, Cao Cao was stunned and immediately smiled; Only when he is alone with Li Yu and Guo Jia can Cao Cao reveal more of his true emotions, get rid of his hard shell, in his mind, only these two people are cited by him as confidants, more like friends than subordinates; It is true that sweeping the world requires the means of scheming, but emotionally speaking, Cao Cao also needs feelings, whether it is family affection or friendship, it is precisely because he is now in a high position and his power is getting stronger, so there are really not many people who can be regarded by him as friends or can become his friends, and he cherishes this hard-won friendship even more; "Captain Yang's movements are a little big! These royalists sneered——! Guo Jia sneered disdainfully and shook his head; Maybe I should also learn from Dong Zhuo, so that they are frightened, so afraid that they no longer dare to have strange thoughts, otherwise, how can I feel at ease when I sweep the Quartet in the future? I now know why Yuan Shao is reluctant to welcome the Son of Heaven into Jizhou! Cao Cao said with a smile, when he said this, his mood should have changed a lot, and his mentality was correct; You can't win 'em all! If we don't hold the Son of Heaven, we won't be competitive at all! Which of those bullish warriors and families is willing to work for us? Now is not the time to regret it at all! Let's figure out how to deal with it! Guo Jia also replied with a smile; Guo Jia is an out-and-out son of a poor family, and so is Li Yu, because they don't have too many miscellaneous forces behind them, just like Xun Yu and Xun You, they are still burdened with the interests of the family, so Cao Cao can trust them; There are no other forces behind them, their honor and disgrace are all tied to Cao Cao, all they can get is from Cao Cao, and they will not watch Cao Cao have an accident

"Hmmm! Or think about what Yang Biao wants to do? Cao Cao nodded; Guo Jia: "Why don't you think about it from a different angle? Who is that young man? ”

"Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu! I've heard of him, he was a famous prodigy when he was young, and he should be quite smart! Cao Cao said; Guo Jia lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said solemnly: "Liu Xie has been stirring up trouble since he came to the lord, except for dividing and winning over the people under the lord's command, there is no other means, oh!" These days, there are many people from the scholar family who visit Liu Xie, could it be? ”

"Scholars, families? Didn't Wilder kill me less? They should have a long memory! will not make a move easily, you must know that the Son of Heaven is just a false name at this time, he has nothing but this name, Huaide said it well: the most important thing for these scholar families is interests! They don't do unwise things without interest! At this time, the place where they can get benefits is here for me, Cao Cao, not Liu Xie! ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao speechlessly, and said in his heart, your boss Cao is really thick-skinned, those scholar families have killed you the most, and Huaide is just carrying a black pot for you! Of course, this kind of thing can be said in your heart, you must not say it, be careful that Boss Cao beats him!

"If so! Now all I can think of is - my lord! Be careful these days! There are more guards in and out, and Zhongkang will follow you inch by inch! Guo Jia stared at Cao Cao with a serious face: "You are in danger!" ”

"They're going to kill me?" , Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with wide eyes and disbelief: "What does it matter?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "This kind of thing is just a feeling, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, and it can even be said that I'm worrying about it!" But! The only way Liu Xie can break the situation now is to kill the lord! This is the easiest and most straightforward way to do it!

They should know that the lord is not Dong Zhuo can compare, if they can't break the situation at this time, then I won't underestimate them in the future, they really don't have a chance! ”

Cao Cao sighed: "If our stall wasn't so big, there wouldn't be so many things!" After a moment of conversation, he added, "If you want to think about the future, you have to do this!" ”

"Yes! If Wilder were here, I wouldn't have had to work so hard! Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and said, the two looked at each other and smiled; That rotten guy! And count on him! Hehe! Cao Cao shook his head: "Get down to business!" I think I can lure the snake out of the hole! Although we can't catch it all, we can also ensure internal stability, and Liu Xie will be silent for a while, and we can better consider external problems! ”

"It's a crisis and a turning point! But isn't it a little too dangerous? Guo Jia was a little embarrassed: "If something happens, I can't afford it!" ”

"No problem! What's the reward for not paying? Yes and no? Besides, I've thought of a good way," Cao Cao beckoned with a wicked smile on his face, and Guo Jia came over with his ears; Whispering something, the other nodding frequently, the two of them still erupted in a creepy laugh, and the end was extremely scary; After Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia gave a thumbs up: "You are so - treacherous and smart!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned: "Damn!" You want to call me treacherous? ”

Guo Jia Zhengse: "Treacherous equals smart!" That's what Wilder said! ”

"When did you say that? How did I not know? Cao Cao scratched his head;
