Chapter 89: Misfortune Leads to the East
When Cao Cao was feeling anxious, Xun You immediately made a proposal. Immediately, Cao Cao asked, "What is Gongda's plan, let's hear it." ”
Liu Xiu's response made it difficult for Cao Cao.
After all, Liu Xiu showed a great deal of concession. If Cao Cao doesn't deal with it, or doesn't give an answer, Liu Xiu will definitely have a pimple in his heart.
Xun You smiled and said: "Regarding the promoters behind the scenes, I think that there are nothing more than two directions. First, the people of the Son of Heaven, and second, Jiangdong Zhang Hong. ”
Cao Cao bowed his head and said, "This analysis makes sense. ”
For Liu Xiu's people, as long as they analyze it a little, they can be deduced.
Xun You said again: "Since the matter can no longer be verified, simply complete the iron case, and set the people who are secretly fueling the troubles as the people of the Son of Heaven and Zhang Hong." ”
Cao Cao bowed his head and waved his hand to signal Xun You to continue.
Xun You continued: "Regarding the matter of the Son of Heaven arranging people to add fuel to the fire, it is very simple to solve, just find a substitute for the ghost, and you can do it. It's just that Zhang Hong can't be easily offended. ”
"The easiest way is for the lord to go through it himself and tell Liu Xiu about it. ”
"The lord can say that the matter has been found to Zhang Hong, and the clues have been broken. The lord has no evidence, so he naturally can't deal with Zhang Hong, and can only deal with the people of the Son of Heaven. ”
In this case, even if Liu Xiu is dissatisfied, he will understand the difficulties of the lord. ”
Xun You said: "There are other benefits to doing this, to divide Liu Xiu and the Son of Heaven, and to divide the relationship between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Liu Xiu no longer believed in the people of the Son of Heaven line, and Jingzhou's hatred of Jiangdong. It's all a good thing for the lord. ”
After Cao Cao heard this, there was a contemplative look in his eyes.
Xun You's suggestion can be operated.
Cao Cao looked at the rest of the people and said, "What do you think?"
Xun Yu said: "If you agree with Gongda's suggestion, you can find a death row prisoner from the prison, and after the execution, you can be charged with the crime, and it can be solved." ”
Cheng Yu stroked his chin and agreed: "The old man also agrees." ”
And all the people answered in unison.
Cao Cao's gaze returned to Xu Yidianman and the others, who had been kneeling on the ground, and said, "You six, get up." ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
The six of them stood up, their faces full of shame.
Cao Cao said: "These six boys came to the door to provoke, and they fought hard, although they lost to Liu Xiu, but they must give Liu Xiu an explanation, all of them, how to deal with it?"
Xiahoudun was dissatisfied: "Lord, even if you don't deal with them, Liu Xiu can't say anything?"
Cao Cao hummed, his eyes staring at Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun's heart trembled, and he changed his words: "Dispose, must be disposed of." ”
Cao Cao snorted and said, "You go to get back the kindness of the Qingyu Sword, this official understands." But if you lose, you lose, and you don't even have the strength to do so, so how can this official take charge of the government? The six of you obviously came to the door to provoke, but you are arrogant and admirable. ”
Dian Man bowed his head and said: "Lord, the last will know the mistake." ”
Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and others also apologized, all of them feeling guilty in their hearts. By now, they had also found that the matter had become so big that it was quite troublesome for Cao Cao to deal with.
Cheng Yu said: "Lord, the old man has an idea. ”
Cao Cao said: "What can Zhong Degong do?"
Cheng Yu said: "These six boys, they said that they made a big mistake, but they didn't, after all, they were all injured, not Liu Xiu." said that he did not make a mistake, but he came to the door to provoke, which is of a bad nature. The key lies in how Liu Xiu looks at it. ”
After a pause, Cheng Yu continued: "The old man thinks that when the lord went to see Liu Xiu, he brought them with him and let these six boys bear the guilt, which is enough to show the sincerity of the lord. As for punishment or punishment, it is not enough to show sincerity. ”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and said, "It's okay, just do it." ”
Immediately, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and ordered: "Wen Ruo, the matter of the case will be handed over to you, in the afternoon, I need to deal with the head." ”
Xun Yu said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely complete the task." ”
Cao Cao looked at the six people including Dian Man Xu Yi again, asked them to go down to rest, and then dismissed the civil and military generals under his command.
In the afternoon, Cao Cao took six people, including Dian Man, Xu Yi, to the residence of the Jingzhou Mission.
Cao Cao arrived, and Pang Degong Liu Xiu and Wen Ping all greeted him in person.
Liu Xiu saw Dian Man, Xu Yi and others carrying thorns, ** on their shoulders, and he was amused in his heart. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao would make them apologize like this.
Entering the hall, the guest and the host sat down, and the six people including Xu Yi were still standing.
Cao Cao said: "Mr. Pang Gong Xiao Liu, the matter of the provocation of Xu Yi and others in the pawn, the official thought about it, and thought that the use of lower salaries, or how many sticks to be punished, or confinement for a few days, was not enough to show sincerity. In the end, I chose to let them bear the guilt of Jing and ask Mr. Liu Haihan to ......"
Dian Man said: "Mr. Xiao Liu, Dian Man is wrong, please forgive me." ”
Xu Yi continued: "Mr. Xiao Liu, Xu Yi is wrong, please forgive me." ”
The other four also apologized.
At least on the surface, the six people apologized one by one, very respectfully.
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's already in the past, don't mention it again." Cao Cao gave him enough face, and Liu Xiu couldn't give Cao Cao too much face, so that Cao Cao couldn't get off the stage, and when the time came, it was Liu Xiu himself who suffered.
Pawn Xu Yi and the others hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then stood behind Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said again: "The person who is behind the scenes, after the official verified, also found the murderer. ”
Liu Xiu was curious: "What is the result?"
Cao Cao waved his hand, and an attendant came up with a brocade box. Cao Cao said: "The head of the person behind the scenes is in the box, please take a look at Mr. Liu." ”
The cultivating soldier immediately held the box and handed it to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu opened the box and looked at it, then closed the box and asked, "Lord Sikong, what's going on?"
It is true that Liu Xiu already knew the situation.
But Cao Cao came to explain, and Liu Xiu also had to pretend not to know.
Cao Cao said: "This time I came to the door to provoke because Dian Man and Xu Yi were instigated. Among the friends of these two people, one belongs to the people of the Son of Heaven, and the other belongs to the people of Jiangdong. ”
"The person arranged by the Son of Heaven has been killed, and the person in the box is the lobbyist who persuaded the pawn. ”
"The lobbyist Xu Yi knew, after the persuasion was successful, the person disappeared. The official went down the vine and checked it, but the clue was broken in the Jiangdong mission. ”
"This official has no evidence and cannot convict the Jiangdong Mission. ”
"Moreover, this time for the birthday of the Son of Heaven, the official can't take down Zhang Hong and others hastily, otherwise the impact will be huge. ”
Cao Cao looked guilty and said: "What this official can do is to execute the people sent by the Son of Heaven, but the matter of the Jiangdong Mission, this official can't do anything, Mr. Xiao Liu forgive me." ”
With such a low profile, Liu Xiu was also shocked in his heart.
Cao Cao's posture is too rare.
Liu Xiu said: "There are common difficulties, now that the verification is clear, you can know it in your heart." This is the end of the provocation at the door. ”
Cao Cao smiled and said, "In this way, thank you Mr. Xiao Liu." ”
Liu Xiu smiled, and briefly chatted about other things, and Cao Cao offered to leave.
Pang Degong Liu Xiu and Wen Ping got up to see each other off, and only returned to the hall after sending Cao Cao away.
Pang Degong's face was serious, and he said: "Cao Cao's posture is so low, just to apologize, I'm afraid it can't be said." Cao Cao's encounter was to separate Jingzhou and Jiangdong. He did this, and he paid a lot. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Jingzhou and Jiangdong are feuds in themselves, and they don't need Cao Cao to be separated. ”
Pang Degong bowed his head slightly and said: "But no matter what, this time the matter can be regarded as a smooth landing, at least, there are not too many waves." ”
Liu Xiu nodded slightly, agreeing with Pang Degong's statement
