"Boda, Zhu Zhi from the General's Mansion is back, and he still has Zhang Xiu's strategists, it seems that ...... On the Nanyang side, it is likely to fall to Jiangdong! How good is that? Cao Pi asked Sima Lang a little anxiously.

After all, Cao Pi is only a thirteen-year-old child, and he usually relies on his acting skills to support him, but when it comes to really getting an idea, he will inevitably be in a hurry.

Because Cao Pi and Sima Lang were in Jinling, they couldn't get the news of the Prime Minister's Mansion - it was impossible for Cao Cao to send too important news to Jinling thousands of miles away......

Otherwise, maybe Cao Pi and Sima Lang didn't get it, and they would have been intercepted by Bai Tu first!

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao gave Cao Pi and Sima Lang a great deal of decision-making power, which also tested Sima Lang's judgment.

"Childe doesn't have to be anxious, Bai Gong has also transferred troops to the west at this time, obviously the primary target is Jingzhou, and Nanyang is newly attached, after Yuan Shu's relics learn the news, they will definitely wave their troops to the city, Zhang Xiu has no spare strength to go north, in fact...... Whether Zhang Xiu is a car or a prime minister, there is no difference in a short period of time. Sima Lang said.

Zhang Xiu reversed to the Cheqi General's Mansion, did it have a big impact on the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Of course it's big!

Now Cao Cao is hoping to maintain a certain tacit understanding with Bai Tu, one into Jingzhou and the other in Hebei......

The city of Wancheng is located at the gateway of Nanyang and the Central Plains, and you can enter Tuyingchuan at any time.

Wancheng fell to Baitu, and it became a situation where Baitu could educate Cao Cao at any time, but Cao Cao couldn't fight back, which was no longer a "tacit understanding", but a luxury to ask Baitu for unilateral forbearance.

However, Cao Pi can be anxious, but Sima Lang must be able to sit still, and although what he just said is a comforting word, it is not unreasonable.

Yuan Shu's relics, which were stationed along the upper reaches of the Huai River, were now the most tense - equivalent to the east and west sides, and were hit by Bai Tu.

Once they take the initiative to use troops, Wancheng will definitely not be able to look north in a short period of time.

"But if Bai Tu lays down Jingzhou first...... Cao Pi is not so easy to coax.

"No, that's what the lord and Xun Lingjun have to think about, what we really have to do now is to let the lord fight Yuan Shao without any scruples...... Even if it's just a sign of cooperation. Sima Lang said.

"So what to do?" Cao Pi took the initiative to ask.

"Tomorrow...... I went to see Bai Gong alone, and the prince had the right to stay in the post house, so that if Bai Gong refused, there would be no more maneuver. Sima Lang said.

The next day, Sima Lang took the initiative to ask for a meeting, bringing the friendliness and "suggestions" of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

"General? Where does Prime Minister Cao want to put Yuan Shao? And...... That is, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has his own imperial decree, so why tell me now? Bai Tu asked rhetorically to Sima Lang in front of him.

That's right, what Sima Lang just told Bai Tu was that the prime minister hoped that Bai Tu would be promoted to the rank of general - nominally higher than the general of the chariot cavalry, but in fact, ...... Now it's all about playing its own way.

The Jian'an era has been used for the fourth year, and the prestige of the Han family has become more and more superficial.

However, the current general is Yuan Shao, and Bai Tu's words to lead the general at this time are equivalent to turning against Yuan Shao on the surface.

"The prime minister was worried that Bai Gongqian would not accept it, so he ordered the foreign minister to come and find out first." Sima Lang said.

"This great general...... Is it possible to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Xudu? Bai Tu asked directly.

"Xu Du is in charge of the prime minister, and he is a general who does not work."

There is no need to speak, Bai Tu looked at Sima Lang's eyes, and let the latter know that this is to say, "Since it is useless, why should I suffer"?

"The general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses......"

Sima Lang was halfway through speaking, and he saw Bai Tu's disdainful eyes, but he still continued: "The prime minister is willing to share and merge the horses of the state with Bai Gong to jointly support the Han family." ”

Divide and merge the horses of the states?

Baitu is indeed very short of horses, and now Yuan Shao dominates Hebei and controls the largest horse source in China, and it is not easy to even want horses in the Central Plains, let alone Yangzhou?

As for the Dian horse in Yizhou...... Although it is smaller, it is more suitable for carrying weights and is not good at charging, but Bai Tu can also be used to deal with it, but there is also Liu Biao in the middle, and Bai Tu can only use "salt lead" to exchange for some.

Before Gan Ning took the sea route to Liaodong, the cavalry would always be Baitu's shortcoming!

However, now Sima Lang's blank check, does it have any credibility?

When Yuan Shao is defeated, will Cao Cao still speak so well?

Again...... Gan Ning's fleet has also begun to explore sea routes, and Bai Tu is optimistic about this.

Bai Tu took a sip of tea, not at all.

"Prime Minister Baigong Yangzhou, pacifying Yuan Rebellion, the merit is in the community, and the benefit is in the people...... The prime minister has already thought about it, and wants to ask for Jiuxi for Bai Gong! Sima Lang gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that Bai Tu didn't see a rabbit and didn't scatter an eagle, Sima Lang had to say something practical.

"Nine Tin ...... That's not big, is it? I guess once or twice, I'd definitely refuse. Bai Tu said with a righteous face.

Seeing this, the corners of Sima Lang's mouth twitched and said, "Of course it won't be...... Once or twice. ”

Bai Tu nodded, as a gentleman, "three resignations and three concessions" still have to be done.

Acknowledging the position of the "great general", for Bai Tu, is also a smooth push, the meaning is to completely finalize the alliance with Cao Cao, and take the initiative to provoke Yuan Shao as a "voter".

The reason why Bai Tu can open his mouth is because Bai Tu has taken the initiative in this alliance......

However, it is impossible to expect Cao Cao to cut two counties to him, and the previous division and annexation of the state is just a matter of words, and Bai Tu estimates that Sima Lang himself did not take it seriously.

In comparison, this award of nine tin is just right......

It will not make Cao Cao feel distressed, but also make Bai Tu have the motivation to accept!

What is Nine Tin? A kind of ritual vessel given by the Son of Heaven to the princes recorded in the "Book of Rites", and the addition of nine tin is this kind of ritual.

The "Book of Rites" is mainly written about the ritual system in the pre-Qin period, and the "Son of Heaven" and "princes" here naturally refer to the Son of Zhou and the princes and kings of various countries, and the great unified Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, but the name is the same, but it is actually a completely different system.

In the pre-Qin period, who was awarded nine tin, in fact, it is impossible to test, and the legend says that Zhou Gongdan was awarded nine tin, but ...... In the Han Dynasty, the study of Jiuxi was only an academic purpose, how could the Son of Heaven of the Great Unification give Jiuxi to people?

Of course, there are no absolutes, and under normal circumstances, there will be no nine tin, but ...... For example, in two hundred years, Wang Mang was added to Jiuxi!

In the history without the white map effect, after that, Cao Cao was added to Jiuxi, Sun Quan was added to Jiuxi, Sima Zhao was added to Jiuxi, Huan Xuan was added to Jiuxi, and the founding emperors of the four countries of the Southern Dynasties took turns to receive Jiuxi from the previous dynasties, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Gao Huan......

Look around, a vote with loyal ministers!

There is only one Wang Mang now, who is not too sensitive, and for Bai Tu, unlike the "Great General", "Conferring Nine Tin" is related to practical benefits.

The general is still Hanchen, and now, except for offending Yuan Shao, this general has almost no effect, and even nominally it is lower than the prime minister of the three princes.

However, after the ceremony of "adding nine tins", whether it is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, or the relationship between Zhou Tianzi and the princes and kings, there is a need to decide.

In a short period of time, Bai Tu must still have to "Kuang Fu Han Family", retreat a few times, really can't stand the hospitality of the Han family, when accepting Jiuxi, Bai Tu will also (find a ghostwriter) to write a Fu that shows this position, but Cao Cao has the advantage of the imperial court, for Bai Tu, will be greatly compressed.

So, in March of the fourth year of Jian'an, Bai Tu led the position of general and accused Yuan Shao of misdeeds with the imperial court in a unified voice!

At the same time, an edict that attracted huge controversy not only in the court, but also in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was finally issued - awarding Bai Tu Chu Hou and Jia Jiu Xi.

Although Bai Tu published "Rejection of Jiuxi Fu" as soon as possible, and resigned from the court's kindness, it was ...... Anyone with a discerning eye knows that after tossing two or three times, three or five months, I am afraid that it will be finally implemented!

Not only in the imperial court, some courtiers accused Sang of scolding Huai, and Xun Yu also claimed to be sick for several days because of this.

Xun Yu is nominally a "Shang Shuling" and a courtier of the Han Dynasty, but everyone knows that he is also the head of the prime minister's mansion.

Xun Yu showed great resistance to Jia Jiuxi, and it was not until a few days later that Cao Cao personally visited the house and had a long talk, and Xun Yu returned to "work".

In the history without the White Rabbit effect, Xun Yu also had a conflict of opinion with Cao Cao and Cao Cao's staff group on the issue of Cao Cao's granting of nine tins, and finally received Cao Cao's empty food box, Xun Yu committed suicide by poisoning.

Xun Yu, as Cao Cao's leader, is he loyal to the Han family? I haven't found out that Cao Cao has become more and more disrespectful to the Han Emperor, and even when Cao Cao killed the pregnant Dong Guiren, Xun Yu still thinks that Cao Cao is a loyal minister?

When he was slow enough to add nine tins, he discovered Cao Cao's ambitions?

Of course not!

Xun Yu didn't believe in the imperial court, the ministers, or even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but in Cao Cao.

But at the same time, he hoped that Cao Cao could stop at the prime minister, and even hoped that there would be a capable person from generation to generation to "overhead" the Han Emperor, and at the same time maintain the longevity of the Han family.

The first unified and long-lived dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Bai Tu looked at the Han Dynasty, only as one of the countless feudal dynasties, while Xun Yu looked at the Han Dynasty, but it was the only one.

Therefore, he does not want to change the dynasty to become a habit, but prefers to be the only man in the world and the capable person to take charge of the dynasty......

It is not so much that he was loyal to the Han family, but that Xun Yu was in conflict with the faction that advocated usurpation in terms of political ideas.

It's just that...... In the context of the world, the attraction of the emperor's position is much greater than that of the prime minister, and the heroes of the Prime Minister's Mansion are far from being compared with the founding heroes.

Xun Yu's political ideas made him a loner in Cao Cao's camp, even if other Xun disciples, other Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun and others who were recommended by him to the throne, were also on the opposite side of him at this time.

In addition, at that time, Cao Cao was actively crusading against Liu Biao, Xun Yu was sitting in the rear, and the two neglected to communicate, and in this case, Xun Yu, who was disgusted and slandered by everyone, inevitably deteriorated in Cao Cao's heart, and finally died of an empty food box.

And now, Cao Cao is leading the white picture and Jiuxi, which undoubtedly makes Xun Yu see some bad signs.

But after all, it was not Cao Cao who awarded Jiuxi himself, and now Xun Yu and Cao Cao are mixing oil in honey, and most of the other civil and military generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the most core handful, are still trembling in the shadow of Yuan Shao, and no one regards Xun Yu as an obstacle, so Xun Yu finally chose to reconcile.

It's just that Xun Yu is very dissatisfied with Sima Lang's self-assertion - of course Cao Cao will not tell him that this is one of the candidate conditions given to him by Cao Cao himself before Sima Lang leaves.

At the same time, for the default white picture, Xun Yu has also turned black, and Guo Jia suddenly has a common language......
