Chapter 162: Poor Lobbyist
Guo Tu smiled with a simple face, and said with a posture of complete consideration for Cao Cao: "I know that the general is loyal to Sheji, but if a talent like the general who is dedicated to the country ends up being victimized by a conspiracy, it is really unbearable." ”
"Tell me what you know but will not know, I am not Yuan Shao, and I don't want to listen to your heartfelt words." Cao Cao said.
He was listening, and he was also pushing back Guo Tu's purpose.
There is no doubt that this person can stand here, and he must have something in his hands.
"I heard that the general only has the right to command the army in war?" Guo Tu looked like he was winning, and asked calmly.
"Isn't that the case since ancient times?!" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.
"But it doesn't look like it was in ancient times, does it? There are ambitious people in the world, and they are all ready to do a big thing. But looking left and right at the humble position, it seems that only the general is loyal and leads the soldiers and horses to fight as a lieutenant general, and these soldiers and horses are not yours of the general. Guo Tu said.
The demagogy of these words was quite high, and the whole Cao Cao lost his mind for a moment.
But then he thought about it, this is fucking wrong.
"This will be a minister, but not a thief, if you still want to use these words to confuse me, leave your head and go back as soon as possible." Cao Cao's face grew cold, and he realized that Guo Tu might not have figured out whether the emperor really suspected him, but simply came to fool him.
Although Cao Cao's words had already revealed a sharp killing intent, Guo Tu was still full of confidence.
"Didn't the general notice the emperor's suspicion of you?" Guo Tu asked, "It should be very uncomfortable for a loyal courtier to be suspicious of the emperor for no reason, right?" The land of the party is not a place to live in peace, general. ”
If Cao Cao had some doubts before, then at this moment he was extremely sure.
Guo Tu didn't grasp anything substantive at all, and he didn't have confidence at all.
I just want to run to him with this mouth to fool him.
"Guo Gongze, don't you know that my mother, uncle and brother are as many as generals in the court, and each leads an army!" Cao Cao sneered, "If that's the reason you used to convince me, then leave your head behind." ”
Guo Tu felt a pang in his heart, he really didn't know much about this matter.
But he still said calmly: "Perhaps, this is the reason why the emperor is suspicious of you. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed, and the tears of laughter were about to come out.
"Do you think that my brothers were all recommended by the general? That's wrong, it was personally requisitioned by His Majesty, you bastard, you still want to fool me with this? Who gave you the confidence to step on a horse?! Cao Cao was furious and shouted, "Come, send him on his way, and leave his head for me." ”
As soon as Guo Tu heard this, he knew that he was exposed.
He hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait, Your Majesty let me out." ”
Cao Cao: Hmm???
Guo Tu smiled at the guards who rushed in behind him, and slowly moved two steps forward, avoiding the sharp blade.
These guards are rushing up too fast.
"Say! What's going on? Cao Cao asked with a gloomy face.
Although Guo Tu doesn't want to reveal this scar himself, it seems that there is no good way to do it now.
Cao Cao's eyes casually looked like he wanted to kill someone.
"I went to meet the emperor on Yuan Shao's orders......" Guo Tu reluctantly told Cao Cao about his single father, and then said with a bowed head, "So I am now taking Yuan Kui's head to Yuan Shao at the behest of His Majesty, and bringing a word from His Majesty to Yuan Shao." ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh heartily after hearing this, "If you want to play a trick for Your Majesty to make something out of nothing, then I'm afraid you really think too much, you dog thing can save a life, it all depends on Your Majesty's kindness." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." In the face of the knife and axe, what else could Guo Tu say, he could only nod his head with a chicken pecking rice.
"Yuan Kui's thing is dead, it's a good death, I think I didn't think that old thing was a good thing at the beginning." Cao Cao touched the short beard on his chin and muttered.
Guo Tu curled his neck and asked, "General Cao, can I leave now?" ”
"Want to go?" A dangerous light narrowed in Cao Cao's eyes, "Do you think that if you sow discord, Cao Cao will end it like this?" ”
"I have obeyed His Majesty's ......will," Guo Tu reminded with a weak face.
He didn't expect that when he came here, the emperor would instead become his talisman.
"Since Your Majesty asked you to send a message to Yuan Shao, I naturally can't take your life, but, the death penalty is pitiful, how can the living crime spare you? Come on, drag him down, it will weigh eighty boards! Cao Cao shouted.
"Whoa!"
The guards who rushed in immediately put away their long knives and dragged Guo Tu down the hall.
"General, no, I'll die on the eighty board." Guo Tu seized the opportunity to shout loudly after going out.
But Cao Cao didn't bother at all.
After the eighty boards are played, they generally can't die on the spot.
But if he dies later, what does it have to do with him Cao Cao?
When Guo Tu was beaten, the envoy of the imperial court happened to come.
Cao Cao was a little surprised when he saw someone coming, and immediately said, "Your Majesty ordered Dr. Chen to come in person, but what happened to him?" ”
After Chen Lin sat down, he said: "Something did happen, King Chen Liu was robbed by Yuan Kui, and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to send a messenger to threaten Your Majesty with King Chen Liu's life. It seems impossible for the army to be a division for the time being, and there will be a battle or two to say the least. ”
"I saw Guo Tu outside just now, why was he beaten here?"
Cao Cao snorted coldly, "He is almost here because of this matter, is King Chen Liu's okay now?" ”
"His Majesty has sent someone to rescue him, but this matter will not be able to stop here." Chen Lin said that he looked at Cao Cao.
He was not very satisfied with Cao Cao's explanation of Guo Tu.
Cao Cao chuckled and said calmly: "There is no need to hide this matter, I suspect that Guo Tu thinks that going to see Yuan Shao directly like this may be in danger of his life, so he wants to persuade me to help Yuan Shao." But his statement is so clumsy that he even said that His Majesty is suspicious and does not trust me, do you think this is ridiculous? ”
"The villain is at the end of his rope, and he seems to have a bad idea after he has no way to do it." Chen Lin said.
"I think so." After Cao Cao echoed a sentence, he asked, "Your Majesty has an edict delivered?" ”
Chen Lin took out the holy decree from his arms, "Gong Cao can see it for himself." ”
"Your Majesty wants the general to clear the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes of the Shangdang, block the west gate of Jizhou, and only besiege it."
Cao Cao got up and respectfully accepted the holy decree.
"Your Majesty wants to wait for Gongsun Zhan?" Cao Cao asked after reading the holy decree.
Chen Lin nodded, shook his head and said with a smile: "In Your Majesty's own words, it is better to let others die in front of us than our own soldiers." The edict to seal Gongsun Chan is also on the way. ”
Cao Cao: ......
The emperor is still as black as ever.
"Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao joined forces to attack Jizhou, if Jizhou is stolen by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan's violent temper will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, even if there is no holy decree from His Majesty, he will definitely send troops." Cao Cao said.
