Xu Du Xinggong.

Liu Xie went to the palace where he lived, looking at the somewhat shabby inside, but it was also luxuriously decorated, and there was a group of trustworthy guards waiting outside, so he no longer had to be frightened or hijacked by others, and his beating heart finally returned to calm.

"Guozhang thinks, can Cao Mengde fully believe it?"

Liu Xie saw Cao Cao's sincerity just now, but he only saw that after he quieted down, he unconsciously thought a lot, although he was not very old, he had experienced a lot of things in the past few years, and it was easy to think about the bad side.

The person who can be called the national zhang by Liu Xie is naturally Dong Cheng.

Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said: "I can't judge for the time being, but the minister sees that he has a sincere attitude and is respectful to His Majesty, and it seems that he wholeheartedly supports His Majesty, not Li Dao and others." He governs the army very strictly, the momentum in the army is like a rainbow, and the soldiers are all elite, if he really supports His Majesty, he will definitely be able to help His Majesty recover the Han Dynasty! ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he was very pleased.

All the way to Xudu, he could naturally see with his own eyes how Cao Cao's soldiers were.

The overall situation is definitely more than ten times better than that of Li Dao and others.

"Is there a way for Guozhang to test Cao Mengde's loyalty and see if he is really willing to support us?" Liu Xie was still not very relieved.

"This ......" Dong Cheng thought for a while and said, "The minister has a way, as the Son of Heaven, as long as there are soldiers, he can have the right and the Son of Heaven." It is not feasible to seize all of Cao Mengde's military power, but we can ask him to ask for a part of the army, about 10,000, as Jin Wuwei, to protect His Majesty, His Majesty can have some military power, if he is willing to give, it is sincere, if he is unwilling......"

If they really don't want to, then they need to be vigilant.

"I see!"

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, thinking that this was a good idea, and then thought of another thing, and said worriedly: "My imperial brother, I am also the emperor in Linzi, and the people who support him are still Yang Mingguang, who was once a loyal minister of the Han family, will they snatch my throne?" Not long ago, Yang Mingguang defeated the Yuan coalition army, is Cao Mengde his opponent? ”

This question made Dong Cheng also fall into deep thought, and he didn't know how to answer.

After thinking for a long time, Dong Cheng said: "It's hard to say, everything taken away from Luoyang is in our hands, but it's a pity that the jade seal of the country is missing, otherwise the king of Hongnong in Linzi has no reputation at all, but if you can't beat Yang Zhao, I believe that Cao Mengde will find a way, and it's useless for us to have a headache." ”

It also makes sense......

Anyway, Cao Cao can't beat it, so he will unite everyone to fight together.

If he really can't beat him, Liu Xie is thinking, isn't he dead?

Yang Zhao already had an emperor, and he didn't need a second, and when he thought of this, he was very uneasy, and found that all his hopes had fallen on Cao Cao.

Regardless of whether Cao Cao is sincere or not, he can no longer exist without Cao Cao.

Things are even more complicated than those in Chang'an before.

"Your Majesty!"

Dong Cheng said again: "It's best to let them lose both, and we will collect the military power from it and collect the final benefits." ”

Liu Xie didn't have much confidence in an instant, as long as he thought of Yang Zhao's terrible, he was worried.

"I hope so!"

He sighed, so he asked Cao Cao to send an order, asking Cao Cao to ask for 10,000 people as his own Jin Wuwei to try Cao Cao's loyalty.

This order was transmitted to Cao Cao the next day.

Cao Cao frowned, thinking that this was not a good thing, and hurriedly gathered them together.

"Your Majesty is doing this to test the loyalty of the lord!"

Cheng Yu saw the deep meaning at a glance, and said: "If you give these 10,000 people, the lord will really support the Han family!" ”

Xi Zhong smiled disdainfully: "Your Majesty's step, it is a mess, whether this military power is given or not, he can only rely on the lord to exist now, without the lord, I don't know where to suffer!" ”

With Yuan Shao's character, he can't do it, as sincere as Cao Cao.

Even if Liu Xie went to take refuge with Yuan Shao, he would not be doing well now, and he would be like returning to Dong Zhuo's hands.

"My lord, I think it can be given to Your Majesty."

Xun Yu has always been loyal to the Han family, but he is loyal to Cao Cao, and his thoughts are more contradictory, so he naturally wants to speak for Liu Xie at this time, and continued: "Ten thousand people, can't shake our overall situation, so why give it?" What needs to be done now is to stabilize everything. ”

"If you say it makes sense!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and finally relieved: "Then give 10,000 people, Your Majesty, let him command, and protect the security." ”

The matter was soon settled, the deliberations were over, and they withdrew.

But not long after everyone left, Xi Zhong returned.

"What did Zhicai say, you can't say it in public just now?"

Cao Cao understood Xi Zhong's mind at a glance.

Xi Zhong nodded and said: "There is Wen Ruo just now, it is inconvenient to say a lot of things, I am Wen Ruo's friend, I understand his thoughts, I am loyal to the Han family, but I will not betray the lord." ”

This is also Cao Cao's headache.

Xun Yu's heart can really be divided into two sides.

On the one hand, he supported him to pacify the world, and on the other hand, he wanted to support the Han family.

Xi Zhong said again: "I can see that the lord doesn't want to give His Majesty the soldiers, but he has to give them, in fact, the soldiers who are given out are not uncontrollable, after all, the soldiers given are all our people." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, thinking the same in his heart.

"There is another thing, the food and salary in the army are all given by us."

"Your Majesty has no ability, as long as you make good use of it, the last thing that the 10,000 people remember is not Your Majesty, but the lord."

Xi Zhong's words made Cao Cao sober up.

Just now he was angry that His Majesty wanted to snatch the military power, but now he found that the so-called military power could not be snatched away by His Majesty at all.

This kind of practice of asking for soldiers is very ridiculous.

No wonder the drama just now was full of disdain.

"Zhicai is right!"

Cao Cao laughed and let go of all his concerns: "We have soldiers, which means that we have everything, no matter how much Your Majesty asks me, I will not leave, thank you Zhicai for the reminder." ”

Xi Zhong said: "The lord is just a little angry, and he can think of it soon when he is angry, I just reminded him in advance." ”

"Those who know me are also talented!"

Cao Cao said gratefully: "Fortunately, I can help if I have the will!" ”

Xi Zhong smiled slightly, he was not proud, he was still very modest, as if he had only done one thing, very casual.

"What should we do next?"

Cao Cao asked again.

Xi Zhong said: "First of all, unite Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng and others to form an alliance, after all, Yang Zhao's strength is too strong. ”

Cao Cao nodded.

Xi Zhong said again: "Secondly, we want to strengthen the army, Yang Zhao can be so strong, because the soldiers are strong, the weapons are strong, the kind of weapons that make a loud noise, we can't have, but we need to make up for this disadvantage in other aspects, otherwise we will only fall into passivity and can't compete with Yang Zhao." ”

"Makes sense!"

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Strengthen the army, improve the weapons that our army can have now, especially long-range weapons, but these are not easy." ”

It's really not easy, they don't have Yang Zhao's ideas and knowledge, they can't do it, they can only gradually explore.
