"General?" Cao Cao looked sideways at Xun You with a smile. "Gongda, you're a little careless today!"

"My lord, what do you mean ......?"

Xun You didn't understand what Cao Cao wanted to say for a while, so he simply asked directly, he understood that Cao Cao actually enjoyed this feeling.

"In today's current situation, how can a great general satisfy Sun Jian? Can he make his heart a little impatient? Cao Cao smiled slightly.

"Whoosh!"

Xun You's gaze instantly became stunned, and then slowly became complicated, and he suddenly thought of a lot from Cao Cao's words!

But he quickly calmed himself down and took a deep breath: "Doesn't the lord want to be the son of heaven and take Sun Jian as the king?" ”

"What? Is there anything wrong? Cao Cao looked at Xun You, frowned and asked, "Only by sealing the king can Sun Jian be impatient, and even eager to go further." Therefore, when Gu pacified the north, he must try to lose Jingzhou, the king of Chu, in order to become a general trend. ”

"In this way, we can make the state of Chu always in a situation of internal and external troubles, and we only need to control it from afar, and we can get precious time, wait for the pacification and annexation of the state, work hard for two or three years, and wave a million troops to the south, who can be the enemy?"

"The Lord's plan is wonderful!"

Xun Yu wisely complimented first, and then he settled down, stared at Cao Cao deeply, and said his thoughts in an uncertain tone: "However, although the lord's policy is wonderful, it means a lot, and the lord thinks that it is too early to be crowned king?" ”

"What do you think?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked at Xun Yu very calmly, looking like he was asking casually.

But Xun You understood at this time that Cao Cao had already made up his mind. And it's a very strong determination. No changes. Now this seemingly random inquiry is actually testing yourself.

Actually, it's not that Xun Yu hasn't thought about this question, on the contrary, he has thought about it a long time ago, but Cao Cao's methods are very deep, and many times people can't figure out whether they mean that, and from the current conversation, he has understood Cao Cao's true thoughts.

In fact. He himself has no opinion on Cao Cao's ideas, and even prefers to support them, but he knows that there must be many people who do not support them.

Because he could see that the reason why Cao Cao insisted on giving Sun Jian the title of king was not just to prompt him to fight with the state of Chu, if that was the case, it was not necessarily necessary to be crowned king, although the effect of being crowned king was better. On another level, it is also detrimental to Cao Cao's pacification of the world.

At least from now on. The so-called Son of Heaven and the so-called imperial court were completely abandoned, and Sun Jian would be able to justify his name and educate the people as a king.

On the contrary, the first problem facing Cao Cao was the internal forces that had been gathered in the name of the imperial court.

Therefore, if you start from a purely planning point, it will definitely do more harm than good.

But Cao Cao was so insistent, even after he used "is it too early" to remind him, he still asked back, which is enough to explain a qiē.

That is, Cao Cao himself already wants to be king!

Xun You didn't object to this in his heart, but he felt that it was still a little early, just because Cao Cao's situation was different from that of Chu.

In addition to Cao Cao's henchmen, a large part of them gathered by "coercing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes", and there are many people among them who have always believed that Cao Cao just wants to be a powerful minister, and will eventually return the Han family to the Son of Heaven.

No matter who the Son of Heaven is, but after all, he is still a big man, and Cao Cao is just like Yi Yin and Huo Guang.

But if Cao Cao is king, then in an instant, this qiē will become a joke, which is equivalent to suing everyone, in fact, he also wants to overthrow the rule of the Great Han.

Then, it can be said that the moment when Cao Cao was crowned king was the time when the Han Dynasty really perished.

It is conceivable that many people in the DPRK and China will not agree!

The one Xun You is most certain in his heart at this time is that uncle Xun Yu, who is younger than him, but has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, and has been doing his best to sit in the rear for Cao Cao and control the overall situation!

But with Cao Cao's character, if he makes up his mind, then he must completely purge the internal qiē.

Xun You even felt that Cao Cao's sudden rise to this idea should be related to the death of the king of Chu, when the king of Chu died, Cao Cao thought that his most dangerous enemy was no longer there, and he didn't have to worry about himself when he was purging the interior, but the general trend of the world suddenly got out of control, so he decided to claim the king early and once and for all.

Thinking about all kinds of things like lightning in his mind, Xun You's answer was not slow.

"My lord, although the minister thinks that the time is a little too early, if the lord has made up his mind, the minister should obey it."

In fact, Xun You's speculation is good, Cao Cao became king very late in history, because he was worried about the situation at the time, after all, before Chibi, there were royal relatives Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, who had heavy troops, plus Sun Quan.

Although he was not afraid of Liu Biao and the others, he didn't want to force them to unite, and he didn't dare to move his own foundation, for fear of being taken advantage of by the other party.

Otherwise, how could Jingzhou surrender without a fight!

If he had been proclaimed king earlier, and his intention to destroy the Han Dynasty would have been revealed, and the Liu clan in Jingzhou would not have dared to surrender at all, would he not have been sent to death? The reason why he surrendered was because he was confused by Cao Cao's appearance that he was only a powerful minister and not anti-Han!

Especially after the defeat of Chibi, the rise of Liu Bei, and the alliance of Sun and Liu, he was even more anxious to unite all forces, restore and enhance his strength, so he delayed again and again until the situation stabilized.

But now, the king of Chu is dead, Chu is worried about internal and external troubles, and only one Sun family is left, but he still wants to use Jingzhou as a barrier to achieve the general trend.

Therefore, he believed that there was no real force that could threaten him in the short term, so he decided to purge the interior as soon as possible and cut off his worries.

This idea is completely correct, of course, the premise is that the king of Chu is really dead, and the state of Chu will really be in chaos!

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard Xun You's answer at this moment, he couldn't stop laughing on the spot, he personally got up and grabbed Xun You's hand, and said earnestly: "For many years, Lone has been using you as a confidant, so I told you the truth, I'm afraid it's too sudden, and it scares you a little!" ”

"The lord's words are heavy, everything has a fixed number, the number of great men is exhausted, and today's situation is also the will of heaven!" Xun You replied with a smile.

I didn't think that Cao Cao sighed and chattered to himself from the heart: "Gongda, in fact, this is not the original intention of Lonely, if it weren't for the fact that the princes of the world were all insidious and cunning, each for their own personal interests, how could Lone come to this day, if it is about honest governance, loyalty to the country, people in the world, how many people can compare with me in the early years?" A qiē is just because the heart is dead! ”

Cao Cao's words came from the bottom of his heart, but unfortunately no one knew whether Xun You believed it or not.

Not long after, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and many generals in the army also rushed to the hall one after another, Cao Cao's face was as usual, and he quickly decided with everyone to return to Jizhou and prepare for the crusade against the state.

The meeting was brief and direct, but after only half an hour, they dispersed.

Cao Cao was the only one who left Cao Ren.

"Zixiao, there is something I want you to do, but this matter needs to be alert, do you have the confidence to do it?"

"My lord, let's talk about it, if the last general can, he will never shirk it!" Cao Ren faced Cao Cao Na with a diehard loyal, and his tone was very direct and very affirmative.

"Come here!"

Cao Ren became more and more confused, but he still obediently leaned his head over.

As Cao Cao whispered in his ear, Cao Ren's eyes became more and more surprised, and in the end, he was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Lord, is this really good?" Cao Ren asked with some uncertainty.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and patted Cao Ren's shoulder.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal! These two people have bad intentions, and they will be removed! (To be continued......)
