Chapter 688: Tuoba Liwei
After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Zhi didn't wait for Yuan Shang to speak, and directly brought the words to the point.
"Brother Yuan is powerful in the world, the official residence of General Sima is the first person in the world, I heard that Brother Yuan is now in Xuchang Tun, General Zhao is supervising the army in Luoyang, and unexpectedly they all appeared here together, presumably it is not just as simple as just wanting to see a certain side of Cao, right?"
Yuan Shang nodded calmly and said, "Brother Cao's guess is right, I didn't come to Hebei this time for you, but for another person, but I need Brother Cao's help." ”
Cao Zhi raised his eyebrows: "But I don't know who Brother Yuan is going back to Hebei this time?" ”
Yuan Shang slowly spit out a name: "Tuoba is weak." ”
Cao Zhang, who was beside Cao Zhi, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that Yuan Shang secretly sneaked back to Hebei this time, so that it would be the leader of Suotou, who is now the leader of the north of the shock.
Cao Zhi was shocked, but if he thought about it carefully, he knew that all kinds of doubts were also solved: in the north now, in addition to the famous Yanwang Tuoba Liwei who shocked the Eastern Liao, who is worthy of the top two figures of the Yuan Group, who returned to Hebei at the same time.
Cao Zhi put down the wine cup, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "So, do you want to use me to help you eradicate Tuoba Liwei?" ”
Yuan Shangcheng said sincerely: "Yes, I implore Brother Cao to help me." ”
Although Cao Zhi withdrew from the stage of competing for the world, after all, he was the overlord of the Central Plains, and his political sensitivity was not bad. should be reconciled externally, and deceived King Yan Tuoba to rebel.
Tuoba Li has hidden his ambitions for a long time, but he was surprised by Yuan Shang's own ability and did not dare to do it, but since he was named the king of Yan by the imperial court, he has the right to garrison Liaodong, and the troops can enter the Han realm, and what is missing is just a suitable opportunity.
But if it was the former prime minister Cao Shi, he secretly united with the old ministry and promised to unite with it, from the perspective of King Yan. It must be a godsend! Now Yuan Shangtun soldiers Xuchang. The eyes are on Sun Liu, and there is no time to look north, this is also the most changeable moment in the north, and this opportunity is missed. I'm afraid there will be no more opportunities.
Cao Zhi figured it out. I was in shock. He said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuan trusts me so much, aren't you afraid of extraneous branches?" ”
If Cao Zhi took advantage of this plan, he would ostensibly unite with Yuan Shang. In secret, he was a hypocrisy and a wrongful snake, and he had a slight fornication with Yan Wang Tuoba, but he was afraid that Yuan Shang would suffer a big loss.
Yuan Shang sighed lightly: "Yes, with Brother Cao's ability, even if I don't know my specific plan, I can guess the approximate plan, and if I really want to ask Brother Cao for help, I must give Brother Cao a certain strength, and this matter is really risky." ”
Speaking of this, he listened to Yuan Shang's words and said: "But back then, when I was fighting with Lingzun Cao Mengde, it was in full swing, it happened that Gongsun Clan, Liu He and others united the three major clans of Xianbei to rebel against the Southern Xiongnu...... You are the heir of Cao Mengde, and in this regard, I believe that you will not be wrong. ”
Cao Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, although my father is called a treacherous man by the world, he has never been ambiguous in the righteousness of the nation. ”
"Good, good." Yuan Shang stroked his palms and smiled, said three "good" words in a row, his face was straight, and he looked at Cao Zhi: "Brother Cao is far away from disputes and does not participate in the trend of the world, I am not willing to drag you into the water, but it is a matter of honor and disgrace of our clan, such as today, whether it is Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang, Di clan are all peaceful, only Yan Wang Tuoba is still in danger, once it is destroyed, then I am the Han people of Middle Earth, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains dominate the world, and there is no resistance!" ”
After that, Yuan Shang paused and said, "I beg Brother Cao to help me." ”
Cao Zhi said: "Brother Yuan can rest assured at this point, I don't want to get involved in the world anymore, but there are exceptions to everything, and I can help in this matter...... As long as what Brother Yuan said is true. ”
"Brother Cao can trust me." Yuan Shangzheng said: "Although I, Yuan Shang, do things off the line on weekdays, I absolutely face up to such a major right and wrong. ”
Cao Zhi raised the wine cup: "Dry!" ”
"!"

Shengle Ancient City, the main account of Suotou Wangting.
The ancient city of Shengle is under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County, the Western Han Dynasty is the Chengle County of Dingxiang County, and the rear of the Eastern Han Dynasty belongs to Yunzhong County.
Today's Shengle Ancient City is not as good as in the past, and a messenger who has quietly lurked from Hebei has secretly met Tuoba Liwei.
At this moment, Yan Wang Tuoba Liwei looked at the envoy under the tent, his brows were tightly twisted, and his face was red and white, as if he was pondering and hesitating.
The messenger was young, and stood silent, bowing his head in silence.
After a long time, Fang listened to Tuoba Li and said slowly: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to recover the court in Hebei, why do you want to find this king?" As everyone knows, this king and General Yuan have always been close to each other, like a family, Cao Zhi told him with such a confidential matter, but he didn't know that if this king tied you up and handed over to General Yuan, the Cao family was afraid that all of them would be wiped out, and the nine clans would be punished! ”
The envoy bowed lightly and said in the slightest: "King Yan is right, but he doesn't pay attention. ”
Tuoba Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? How to say this. ”
The envoy said in an orderly manner: "King Yan and General Yuan have a good relationship, when they were in Saibei, they fought against Xianbei and the Huns, and now they can worship King Yan is also due to General Yuan, and they will be tied up and handed over to General Yuan. ”
"Hmph, you are quite sensible, so where is the king not paying attention?"
The messenger said: "The so-called cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the head of the rope is small, Kebineng, Suli, Budugen and other people are powerful, the king of Yan and the general have the same hatred of the enemy, but it is the right way, but now the heroes of northern Xinjiang are all destroyed, only the king of Yan still exists, but it is also the body of the foreign race, the official worships the king of Han, it can be said that he is a master of high merit, although he is now safe with General Yuan, but it has long been incompatible. ”
Tuobali heard this, and his face gradually became unkind.
"Good boy, you dare to talk flatteringly here and provoke the relationship between this king and the general!"
The envoy smiled slightly, and said: "Whether to provoke the relationship or not, King Yan knows in his heart, now King Yan's identity is embarrassing, the world is clear, but King Yan doesn't know?" If I hadn't seen this, how could Duke Cao have sent me to find King Yan? ”
Tuoba Li pondered when he heard this, but heard the messenger speak again: "Even if King Yan takes me today and hands it over to General Yuan, on the surface, he has written down another merit, but I am afraid that it will still make General Yuan think more about King Yan, just imagine that in General Yuan's heart, today there is Prime Minister Cao Cheng looking for King Yan, will there be Prime Minister Li Cheng, Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng looking for King Yan tomorrow?" King Yan's existence has already made the general like a fish in his throat, and he will not vomit or be unhappy. ”
Tuoba Liwei's face turned pale, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Messenger, what is your name?" ”
The envoy arched his hand slightly and said, "There is no doubt that in the next week, it is now Cao Gong to sit down in Menkeer." ”
