Chapter 133: Asking for a Thief
The next day, Cao Cao set up a banquet for his ministers, and Cao Cao said:
"There is no joy in today's feast, and I have one person to sober up for you."
After saying that, he glanced at his subordinates, and a jailer had already pulled Dong Cheng out, but seeing that Dong Cheng was heavily shackled, his hair was scattered, and his flesh and blood were blurred, how could he tell who it was?
When everyone saw this, they were all very surprised, and they didn't know what Cao Cao wanted. Only Wang Zifu and others were shocked, although they didn't know who it was, but they all knew that if they were discovered by Cao Cao, they would definitely not be able to escape this fate, how could they not be afraid?
Cao Cao saw that everyone was frightened, and he was very satisfied at the moment, and laughed loudly:
"Do you know who this person is?"
All the officials looked at each other, and they all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know, and Cao Cao said fiercely with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth:
"This person is Dong Cheng, the uncle of the country."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, the prince and the four of them were even more like sitting on pins and needles, and the banquet was as silent as death for a while, no one could have imagined that Cao Cao would dare to use such a big punishment on his uncle, let alone that Dong Chengcai had not seen him for two days, and was actually taken down by Cao Cao, this change was too big, and I don't know if he confessed himself? The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart: If you don't recruit, someone will recruit!
Yuan Shao received Liu Bei's letter, and immediately discussed with the strategists, Yuan Shao looked around, but saw Tian Feng said:
"My lord, our army has been fighting for many years, and the army is very tired, and there is no accumulation, so we really shouldn't send troops. It should be based on agriculture and recuperate; Now that the Ming Duke has restored Gongsun Zhan, he should give a good report to the Son of Heaven, and he can send a messenger to the Son of Heaven to present the good news. If it is not allowed to pass, it will be clear that Cao Cao will block my communication with the Son of Heaven, and then march to Liyang, and then slowly manage Henan, increase the number of boats, repair armaments, and dispatch elites to raid Cao Cao's border, so that he will not be at peace, and our military can wait for work. In this way, within three years, the big thing can be decided. ”
The plan given by Tian Feng is really the best policy, if so, Cao Cao has no chance of winning. Today, Yuan Shaobing is strong and strong, and he is indeed the leading figure among the princes. If you take every step of the way, use static braking, and encroach on the surroundings, who dares to stop it?
Guo Tu was shocked in his heart, he had already discovered that this Tian Feng knew the world and his strategies were profound, but he couldn't see through Tian Feng and his people. Listening to what Tian Feng said, his heart couldn't help but move, but seeing that Yuan Shao had no expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Guo Tu glanced at the two of them again, but his last gaze fell on the frustrated professor.
The two of them later saw Yuan Shao, and a sense of mission arose spontaneously and followed Yuan Shao. At that time, Yuan Shaofang stood up, discerned people, and reused these two people.
When Emperor Xian was in trouble, he admonished Yuan Shaodao:
"Now although the princes are rising, however, the Son of Heaven is still alive, if the general welcomes the emperor, moves the capital to Yecheng, coerces the Son of Heaven and orders the princes, raises military horses, and cuts down those who are unknown, who can arrive? Then the world can be determined, and the general's merits are immeasurable. ”
Yuan Shao was quite painful when he heard this, and he wanted to welcome the holy car, but unfortunately Guo Tu was on the side. Hearing what Fu Zhu said, he secretly praised Fu Zhu, and his eyes rolled and he hurriedly said:
"If the general welcomes the holy car, he will be restrained everywhere, the Son of Heaven is no longer young, if the emperor is here, it will greatly weaken the military power, it is really unwise. In addition, the Han dynasty has been weakened for a long time, and it is difficult to regain it. If the Son of Heaven is placed by his side, he has to ask for instructions every time he acts, and if he disobeys, he will end up disobeying the order, which is not the best policy! ”
After hearing this, he retorted:
"Now is the most righteous thing, and the time is right! If we don't act sooner, someone will get ahead of us, and it will be too late to be ruined. The so-called trade-off lies in losing no time, and merit lies in speed, lord, think twice. ”
At this time, Yuan Shao no longer had the heart to rejuvenate the Han, so the frustration was not adopted, but it also made Guo Tuchang take a breath.
Hearing what Tian Feng said this time, he said:
"Otherwise, now that the general is in charge of the four states, the military power will be wide, and the morale is flourishing, not taking advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao's soldiers to go north to fight Cao, waste the sun and the moon, and sit and watch its dominance, it is the next policy."
Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao, but saw that Yuan Shao's eyebrows and eyes were quite stretched, and he knew what he meant.
When he heard this, he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly said:
"The husband saves the chaos and punishes the violence, and he is a righteous soldier. Relying on the strength of the crowd is to be proud of the soldiers. The righteous are invincible, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the strategy of winning on the march is not strong! Cao Cao respects the Son of Heaven to command the world, and now we are leading the army to the south, which is against righteousness. What's more, the winning strategy does not lie in the strength of the army, Cao Cao's laws and regulations are strict, the soldiers are well-trained, and they will return to their hearts, unlike Gongsun Zan who is generally trapped! Now give up all the perfect strategies and rise to the unknown division, you will not be able to win! In my opinion, it is the best policy to recuperate and play steadily. ”
Guo Tu smiled when he heard this:
"No, no, no, at this time, how can Bing and Cao Cao say that they are nameless? Now that Cao thief has deceived the king, everyone has to punish him, and hermits like Zheng Shangshu can't bear to look at him, let alone Ming Gong? The axiom should be based on Zheng Shangshu's words, fight with Liu Bei for righteousness, and exterminate Cao thief, which is in line with the will of heaven and the people's feelings. ”
Yuan Shao's face remained unchanged, just sitting and listening to the four of them talk.
Yuan Shao was quite conceited in his use of troops, not to mention that he was in a prime situation at this time, and he had already planned to send troops to attack Cao in his heart, but when he saw the strategists centrifuge, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, Xu You walked in from outside the tent, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to block the four people:
"Ziyuan has always been insightful, let's see what he thinks."
The four of them were immediately silent, and their eyes fell on Xu You, Xu You finished his salute, and Yuan Shao said:
"Zheng Shangshu has a book, and he wants me to raise troops to help Liu Bei fight Cao Cao, what about Ziyuan's intentions?"
Xu You glanced at everyone, but saw Guo Tu nodding slightly, Xu You and Guo Tu were originally from the same source, but Xu You didn't have his talent, but this person was good at flattery and good at personnel, so he was quite loved by Yuan Shao, Xu You saw Guo Tu's expression, knew what he meant in his heart, thought for a moment and laughed:
"The Ming Duke overcomes the widow with the crowd, attacks the weak with the strong, and supports the royal family by begging the Han thief, why not cut it down? Could it be that Ming Gong was kind and wanted to make Cao Cao sit down and fight again? Don't forget the kindness of Xiang Yu's woman! ”
Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this:
"Ziyuan's view is exactly what I want!"
Yuan Shao and his advisers discussed for a long time and decided to send troops to Cao Cao. So he consulted with everyone about raising an army, and it was not until noon that he and the others retreated. Guo Tu pulled the trial to stay, and the trial knew that he had something to say, so he also stayed in Yuan Shao's mansion. Yuan Shao walked out and looked at the backs of the others side by side with the two, Guo Tu suddenly said:
"The plan of supervising the army is too conservative, and it is indeed not a good strategy to improvise."
The judge agreed, and then the beard nodded. Seeing this, Yuan Shao's eyes rolled and he nodded.
Guo Tu said again:
"Now that he has sent troops to attack Cao, he has been frustrated by the internal and external superintendents, and his power is too great, and he has no ...... will to fight"
The trial is already busy:
"This is really a taboo for soldiers, and in addition, now that he is commanding the army outside, he really shouldn't interfere in internal affairs!"
The meaning of the trial is that he has too much power and has the heart to participate in the military and politics.
Yuan Shao nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.
Guo Tujian has achieved his goal:
"I almost forgot about business."
Yuan Shao looked at it sideways, and Guo Tu hurriedly said:
"The Duke of Ming will fight Cao Cao with great righteousness, count the evil of Cao Cao, send it to all counties, denounce its evil, and then he can justifiably cut down Cao."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao patted Guo Tu on the shoulder and nodded:
"What the public rule says is very true!"
Yuan Shao then ordered Sun Kang to write back to Zheng Xuan and asked Liu Bei to answer; On the one hand, it was ordered to be deployed, and the part of the frustration was divided into three armies, and the frustration, Guo Tu, and Chun Yuqiong each led an army, thereby weakening the military power of the frustration, and ordered the trial and matching, Feng Ji as the unified army, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You as the strategists, Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the generals, 150,000 mounted troops, 150,000 infantry troops, a total of 300,000 elite soldiers, and the troops were sent to Liyang.
Chen Lin wrote the essay, and after reading several drafts, she felt that she was not satisfied, and this night suddenly a gust of wind blew, and she didn't feel sleepy, and she fell asleep in front of the desk.
When he was sleeping, he suddenly felt the white light dazzling, and he was completely sleepy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a white-bearded and white-haired old man standing in front of the table, and the fairy wind was smiling at himself, Chen Lin was shocked, but he was not afraid, and hurriedly got up and saluted:
"Old fairy, why are you here?"
The old fairy smiled and said:
"Would you like to work today?"
Chen Lin hurriedly arched his hand and said:
"Please also ask the immortals to teach you. Chen Lin must do her best. ”
The white-clothed Taoist made a move, a scroll of paper was in his hand, and the white-clothed Taoist held the scroll and said:
"I have a text here, and you can spread this text all over the state and county."
After saying that, he handed it to Chen Lin, Chen Lin looked at the text, and couldn't help nodding with joy and praised:
"This text is really brilliant, rare in the world, and the immortal is really a masterpiece."
When he looked up, the white-clothed Taoist had long since disappeared.
But said that Chen Lin woke up, but saw that the paper in front of the case was already full of words, read carefully, it was the text read in the dream, but looking at the handwriting, it was written by himself, Chen Lin only said that it was made in his dream, and couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"Be a god help, be a god help."
