At the same time as Liu Wei was in Chang'an for disaster relief, in Xuchang City, in Cao Cao's mansion.

Cao Cao was discussing with Guo Jia in the study about the use of troops in Xuzhou, and a soldier stood at the door and said to Cao Cao: "Qi Cao Gong, there is news from Chang'an, the King of Qin entered Chang'an, killed hundreds of people, and on the one hand allocated grain and grass from all over the country to relieve the disaster, and on the other hand, he raided the hoarding of private grain in Jingzhao Yin's households, which has stabilized the disaster!" ”

"King Qin is really an ordinary person!" Waving his hand at the soldier, Cao Cao stroked the beard on his chin with one hand and said to Guo Jia: "If this matter has to be done by such and such a person, sooner or later the disaster will be stabilized, but it will not be so fast!" ”

"It's a pity that Duke Ming and King Qin will have a battle sooner or later." Before Cao Cao's words fell, Guo Jia shook his head, and then he said: "King Qin is a natural emperor, if Duke Ming had assisted King Qin at the beginning, the great cause he had achieved would definitely be shocking overseas." ”

"What does Bonghyo mean ......?" Guo Jia's words were a little hazy and did not point out the key points, Cao Cao frowned and asked him, "Will there be a war with the King of Qin in the future?" ”

"Exactly!" Guo Jia nodded, and said to Cao Cao in an unusually resolute tone: "If the Ming Duke wants family peace, he will definitely go to war with the King of Qin in the future!" ”

"A certain is loyal to the Han family, and the king of Qin is also the queen of the Han family, if a certain and the king of Qin go to war......" Cao Cao stood up, put his hands behind his back, first walked a few steps back and forth in the house, shook his head, and then said to Guo Jia: "The reason why a certain person controls the king of Qin is for the sake of His Majesty today." The King of Qin is now in full power, and there is a possibility of usurping power against His Majesty......"

"Who is usurping power, is it not clear to Ming Gong?" Before Cao Cao's words were finished, Guo Jia smiled slightly, interrupted him, and said to Cao Cao: "When King Qin was the emperor back then, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the dynasty, deposed the promising monarch, and established the current majesty. Although His Majesty is smart today and can control the world, how can he compare with King Qin? ”

"The Ming Duke supported His Majesty, and now he is sitting in Qing, Yan and other continents." Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Guo Jia continued to say to him: "The reason why the King of Qin did not want to welcome His Majesty to Luoyang, but gave His Majesty to the Duke of Ming, has already laid the foreshadowing of the emperor, is the Duke of Ming unknown?" ”

"After all, it is the first emperor, who is the emperor, what can he do?" Walking to the armor stand in the house, Cao Cao frowned tightly, and said to Guo Jia: "At that time, a certain hand over the military power is!" ”

"The Ming Duke is in power, and his achievements are high, and now he is even more around the Son of Heaven." Guo Jia shook his head, sighed lightly, stood up and faced Cao Cao, and said to him: "I'm afraid that even if Duke Ming surrenders his military power, King Qin will not allow Duke Ming to live in the world." ”

"Why?" As soon as Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's just because Ming Gong is too strong!" With both hands clenched into fists, Guo Jia saluted Cao Cao, and then said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong is loyal to the Han family, and this heart can be learned!" It's just that the Han family now has two lineages, one is the current majesty, and the other is the king of Qin. Although these two veins are of the same sect, they seem to be safe and sound, but in fact, they have already become fire and water! It is not possible to co-prosper between heaven and earth. If the Ming Duke wants to achieve the hegemony of the millennium and support the Han family, the only way to support His Majesty today is to support His Majesty! And to serve the King of Qin is to hide the pearl in the box. King Qin's brilliance is too prosperous, I am afraid that he will not be able to show the Ming Gong! ”

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao still frowned.

Secretly attacking Liu Bian, asking Liu Xie to crown Liu Bian as the king of Qin, and controlling the Luoyang army, Cao Cao had to do things in consideration of unifying the east.

But facing the Luoyang army head-on, Cao Cao was never really on the agenda.

Now Guo Jia proposed, thinking about the meaning of Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao also knew that this was the problem he was facing at the moment.

Either support Liu Xie and become a fire and water with Liu! Either abolish Liu Xie, turn to Liu Bian, and ask Liu Biao to ascend the throne and become emperor.

With Liu Wei's talent, after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, the world should be pacified in a few years.

It's just that often a promising monarch can't allow his subordinates to sit on a large army. If Liu Wei does something to these courtiers who have a large army after the world is calmed down, with his current strength, I am afraid that he will be ranked at the top of the list of must-be eliminated.

Loyalty to the Han family cannot replace the **** who lives, Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he nodded, looked up at Fang Liang, sighed and said: "I didn't expect that I, Cao Cao, would one day be the enemy of the first emperor and the descendants!" ”

"Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been bloody!" Facing Cao Cao, Guo Jia also sighed and said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong is loyal, Jia knows it well. It's just that if the Duke of Ming wants to support His Majesty today, he must be the enemy of the King of Qin. This battle may happen after the war in Xuzhou is over and the relief of King Qin has been completed! ”

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao silent for a long time.

After a long time, Cao Cao nodded heavily and said to Guo Jia: "What Feng Xiao said is true, there are indeed two veins in the Han family today, one is the current Majesty, and the other is the King of Qin. Although the King of Qin is a genius in governing the world, once the world is safe, I am afraid that those who support the army and respect themselves will be defeated and die. Now it seems that the only way to do this is to support His Majesty! ”

"Ming Gong Mingjian!" Clenched his fists and bowed down, and praised Cao Cao, Guo Jiacai said to Cao Cao: "Earlier, King Qin governed the river, making the downstream riverbed gentle, and the area of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, although there was a disaster, it was not serious. Now that the King of Qin is looking westward, trapped by the disaster situation in Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi, it is the best time for the Ming Duke to take the opportunity to go east! ”

"A certain person has known Sun Guan and others to instigate Chang Xi to plot rebellion!" Turning to face Guo Jia, Cao Cao said to him: "I think that the Qingzhou army will rise up in chaos in the future, and Yu Ban and other troops have also entered Yanzhou, once the Qingzhou army plots to rebel, they can immediately exterminate Changxi." After that, Sun Guan and others will lead the Qingzhou army to advance to Xuzhou, and a certain army can follow, first break Liu Bei, and then cut down Lu Bu! ”

"The great cause of Ming Gong will be accomplished in a few days!" Clenched his fists and bowed down, and praised Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Huainan Yuan Shu is eager to be the emperor, but he is worried that the heroes of the world will fight against him. If Ming Gong looks east, Yuan Shu has no scruples, and he will be ready to move soon! ”

"Humph! Yuan Shu! Referring to Yuan Shu, Cao Cao snorted coldly and said to Guo Jia: "The world eats Hanlu, and as soon as the jade seal of the country is passed on, he will vainly try to be the emperor, if this thief is not removed, it will be difficult to be at ease!" When he arrived in Xuzhou, he personally led the army to smash Huainan and kill that Yuan Shu! ”

Guo Jia's design to contain Liu Wei in Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi, and Yuan Shu, who was sitting in Huainan, had also gotten the news.

Knowing that Liu Wei had no time to look east, Yuan Shu also thought it was a rare opportunity.

Previously, Ji Ling led the army, intending to crusade against Liu Bei, but was hindered by Lu Bu and forced the army back to Huainan, which made Yuan Shu furious, and he was about to cancel the marriage with Lu Bu that day.

But in Yuan Shu's heart, the seeds of hatred for Lu Bu have been planted since then.

"Everyone!" In Shouchun City, in the main hall of Yuan Shu's mansion, Yuan Shu sat in the first seat, looked around at the staff in the hall, and asked the staff: "Ji Ling led the army to crusade against Liu Bei before, but he didn't want Lu Bu to make a hindrance from it, and he was always unhappy in his heart!" Now I heard that the King of Qin entered Chang'an, in order to provide disaster relief in the area of Jingzhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi, Luoyang was empty of grain and grass, and it was difficult for the army to go on an expedition. In Yanzhou, the Qingzhou thief army that Cao Cao had surrendered earlier was now also plotting and then acting, intending to be unfavorable to Cao Cao. I thought that at this time, it was the time when my Huainan army looked eastward and then went on the northern expedition, I don't know what everyone thinks? ”

"Yuan Gong!" Before Yuan Shu's words fell, a person in the hall stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "King Qin is in Chang'an, and the treasury is empty, so it is really difficult to look south. The Qingzhou army has also been led by Chang Xi and others to attack Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is afraid that he will also have trouble sleeping. But Yuan Gong never thought that the Hebei area ......"

Glancing at the person who spoke, Yuan Shu recognized this person as Zhang Xun, a general under his command.

"Humph!" Zhang Xun mentioned Yuan Shao, who was far away in Hebei, Yuan Shu snorted coldly, and scolded: "The son of Shusheng, why worry about it!" One day, a certain general will return to Hebei and collect all the soldiers and horses of Yuan Benchu for his own use, so that he will know what is called a grandson and what is a concubine! ”

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were originally of the same clan, but Yuan Shao was a concubine, although he was older than Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu never regarded him as a brother.

Not only that, Yuan Shu has always had contempt for Yuan Shao, and often proposed that Yuan Shao was just a concubine in front of people, in order to declare to the world that Yuan Shao's status was lowly and not as noble as his.

It is precisely because Yuan Shu has this mentality that although Yuan Shao and him are half-brothers, the two brothers have long been intolerable to each other.

If it weren't for Liu Wei between Huainan and Hebei, the two brothers would probably have been at war all year round, until one of them was wiped out of this world, and they would be stable.

Everyone in the hall listened to Yuan Shu's words, and they didn't say anything more, but Zhang Xun, as if he didn't understand Yuan Shu's thoughts at all, hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Yuan Shu: "Although there is General Ji Ling under Yuan Gong's command, there are Hebei Four Court Pillars in front of Yuan Shao's account!" Now Yuan Shao occupies Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command. If Yuan Gong and him are in danger again, if Yuan Gong plans to Xuzhou in the east, and the Hebei soldiers will go south to attack Yuan Gong, what should Yuan Gong do? ”

After listening to Zhang Xun's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Xun is not bad, although Liu Wei and Cao Cao have no time to take care of Huainan at the moment, but Yuan Shao is very idle and has nothing to do.

Once the war in Xuzhou starts, Yuan Shao will not want to get a piece of the pie from Xuzhou, and it is not impossible for the Hebei army to go south!

"What should I do with the general's intentions?" After being silent for a moment, Yuan Shu finally asked Zhang Xun such a question.

"Qi Yuan Gong!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Zhang Xun said to Yuan Shao: "Lu Bu relieved the siege for Liu Bei, but he didn't want Yuan Gong to occupy Liu Bei's territory." Now that King Qin and Cao Cao have no time to look south, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei are also unable to enter Huainan, why don't Yuan Gong take this opportunity to be the emperor and issue an edict to recruit Hebei, both Yuan's family, and Yuan Shao will not refuse Yuan Gong's solicitation! After everything has been done, then consider the south and the north? ”
