Chapter 268: Cao Liu (I)
Regarding Cao Cao's inquiry, Xu You, Chen Qun, etc., were not surprised.
Since today's incident, the current situation has developed more and more in the direction of Liu Qi's control of the government and the opposition.
In particular, the unclear opinions of Wang Yun, Chen Lin, Lu Zhi and others have exacerbated the change in this situation.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Tao Qian are still staying in Beijing, but if they can't gain a firm foothold in Beijing and get corresponding support, they will be excluded from the court and forced to return to the garrison, which is sooner or later. At that time, the imperial court Xu Wei Liu Qi was completely in control.
What is even more troubling is that Cao Cao is currently appointed by the imperial court and continues to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou. However, most of Yanzhou thought that Liu Qi had obtained it, and Cao Cao had also taken Yuzhou pastoral.
What should be done with Yanzhou next?
If it is a war, Cheng Yu and others are in the rear, although they are prepared, they are not sufficient.
In particular, the sudden outbreak of the Nanyang War made many people unexpected, and it also made people panic. The land of Yingchuan, which is close to it, will also be in crisis.
Not to mention, Yuan Shu's fierce eyes on Peiguo made the entire land of Yan and Xu shrouded in a layer of war clouds.
Further north, Qingzhou faced the Battle of Jizhou, and with the death of Yuan Shao, the result can be imagined. Liu Qi used Qingzhou as a force to control the land of Ji and secluded, not far away.
In addition to the change of form, there are also rules to follow.
With the expansion of Liu Qi's power, Cao Cao was not only worried that the court, and even the Son of Heaven, would be held hostage by Liu Qi, but also worried about the complete defeat in the north.
Although he didn't ask some specific questions, Xu You, Chen Qun and others were not smart people, and they just thought of the inside story after a little reverie.
"Hide ......"
Xu Yu's opening attracted everyone's attention.
In Cao Ying, relying on his familiarity with Cao Cao, and this time he helped Cao Cao, with Cao Ying's many counties in Henan, Xu You was in front of outsiders, and he also called Cao Cao's nickname.
Seeing this, Cao Cao didn't say anything on his face, but he was still a little dissatisfied with this friend in his heart.
He is not what he used to be today.
Xu Yu is like this, and he is obviously a little rude.
But Cao Cao put his thoughts together very well, and said with his head bowed: "What does Ziyuan say, you might as well say it, there are no outsiders in the house!" ”
Xu You subconsciously looked sideways and looked back at Lu Bu.
He did not approve of Cao Cao's inclusion of Lu Bu in his account. In order to win people's hearts, especially in these days, the wooing of Yuan's generals to show his mind can also be understood from righteousness.
Feeling Xu You's gaze, Lu Bu raised his head slightly, just looking to see that Xu You had already turned his head and said to Cao Cao: "Today's situation is quite unfavorable for Yu A's concealment!"
Liu Xide has gradually won the hearts of the people in the DPRK, especially today's appearance, which has slowed down many people's minds. With tomorrow's reward and punishment, or with his own department, it will also be recognized by Wang Yun and others, and the defense of the Jingshi.
Once this is the case, Liu Xide will inevitably be above board, and there will be a land of Luoyang, that is, Hanoi, Henan, and Hedong.
After Yu Zhi takes Jizhou, it is bound to connect Ji, You, Qing, and Yan together.
Take it as a stand, let me ask this world, not only Apu, but also other people, if Yuan Highway and Liu Jingsheng belong to him, who can stop him?
In this way, it doesn't matter if Tao Qian is a dependent. ”
Xu You's words directly put the situation on the bright side, and Chen Qun and the others were shocked when they heard it.
In terms of the situation, I have to say that Xu You's vision is broad and his thoughts are accessible, but in terms of being a person, he doesn't know how to be modest and polite, and he is often proud of his achievements. If it continues, it will inevitably cause trouble, but it has nothing to do with other people, and they don't bother to remind them.
Xu You's words paused slightly, and then said: "What you can't see is done, and now Liu Xide is strong, and we are weak, so we should unite everyone."
The first of these is the Jingshi, and it must not completely fall into the hands of its people.
Here, Apudang stepped up to contact the corresponding people and deal with them together.
If you don't have talent, you are willing to deal with this matter overnight for Apu! ”
Xu Yu said, stood in place, and kept bowing.
Cao Cao stood up from a few places and walked back and forth in place, he looked down at the faces of Chen Qun and others, and thought about the time.
In Xu Yu's words, he understood the meaning.
Only by preventing Liu Qi's control in the court and uniting the courtiers to counteract can Liu Qi's idea of holding the court hostage shattered. Even in the future, war will break out again in Yanzhou and other places, and there is no need to worry that Liu Qi will attack it with the righteousness of the imperial court. In addition, in the future, you can even use the imperial court and the name of the Son of Heaven to unite the heroes to fight against Liu Qizhi, who is getting stronger and stronger.
The land of Ji and Yan, once controlled by Liu Qi, lost the general trend of the north and lost the opportunity to get up, which Cao Cao did not want to see.
What is needed now is to persuade Wang Yun and others.
According to what he knew about Wang Yun and others, most of these people were loyal to the court, and they had no choice but to see Liu Qi in the court too powerful, so that he monopolized the power and became the second Yuan Shao.
Of course, if he puts himself in Liu Qi's position, he Cao Mengde will try his best to succeed in order to welcome the Son of Heaven.
"And it's all too tired!"
Thoughts were only in an instant, and when the others were still in deep thought, Cao Cao had already come to Xu You, clasped his hands, and sighed.
That night, not only Xu You, Chen Qun and other staff, but even Cao Cao himself, also visited some people in person.
Among them, including Liu Bei, who made great contributions to the crusade against Yuan Shao this time.
came to see Liu Bei, it was Cao Cao who came in person.
Because there was no residence in Luoyang, Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, and his own soldiers, and temporarily lived in the place of the post house. As for most of the men, like the other tribes, they were in tents outside the city.
When Cao Cao arrived, Liu Beishi was writing a letter.
The letter here was also sent to Liu Biao.
At least for now, he's still under the fence. Some reports should also be informed. But the relationship between him and Liu Biao is not a "benefactor", they are all mutual cooperation.
Like coming back in the afternoon, discussing with Jian Yong and others, wait for the reward of the imperial court to come down, and then determine whether to return to Jingzhou.
From the point of view of things, although Liu Biaoyu said that he used it really, it was all to quell the local rebellion. Especially in the ongoing Jingnan Rebellion, with the harsh local environment, as Jian Yong suggested, it is better not to go, and the people and horses led by it are actually easy to fall into it.
This time, he took the initiative to ask for help from Yuan, and Liu Bei also had the idea of temporarily leaving the Jingnan battlefield and leaving Liu Biao in Jingzhou to seek a new path.
In the meantime, I have to mention one person, my friend Gongsun Zhan.
Today's Gongsun Zhan, it is said that he has been besieged in the city for several months, and when he thought of going south that day, instead of going north, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord, General Cao, please see you, you are outside the post house!"
The voice of the general Guan Yu came from outside the door, Liu Bei, who was doing reverie, looked moved when he heard the words, he put down his pen and ink, and said outward: "Yun Chang, and please General Cao to be on the side, I will come quickly!" ”
"No!"
