Chapter 222: Listening to and believing Cao Mengde
Cao Cao was a little moved when he heard the word 'national color', after all, everyone has a love for beauty, and Cao has never hidden his preferences, but the word 'Miaoling' makes him feel disdainful.
The budding flower bones, how can they bloom and entertain? No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a little girl, so she is not as good as Mrs. Huaxin will serve.
Liu Xun saw that everyone didn't talk, and added to himself: "It is said that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wanted to take their second daughter as a concubine, but Long Xiang refused to fight fiercely in Hefei, but unfortunately Sun Ce finally got out..."
"It's a pity..."
No one knew what Cao Cao was sorry for, but on the way to talk to himself, he suddenly asked back: "Long Xiang is twenty this year, is he married?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be..."
Liu Xun spread his hands, not knowing what Cao Cao meant.
After hearing this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose, stroked his beard and smiled: "Long Yunqi is strong, and the second bridge is beautiful and fragrant, how can you not be hungry with meat in your mouth?" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu don't know the current affairs, and they grab food, which makes people rebel, it seems that this son is also a person of temperament, which is very much in line with my heart..."
Liu Xun was overjoyed when he saw Cao Cao, so he hugged his fists and reminded: "Long Xiang is not very old, whether he really rejects Sun Ce for the second bridge or not, this person has a lot of ambitions, and Li Shu avenges Yan Assassin Shi, not only does the lord not only not commend and rescue, but also promotes Long Xiang to Lujiang Taishou, doesn't it show that you support Sun Quan?" This move may make those who want to invest in it hesitate, and it will be a problem for Long Xiang to raise tigers..."
"Sit down..."
Cao Cao smiled and motioned for Liu Xun to return to his position, and said to everyone with a solemn face: "Yan Wen was booby-trapped for Chen Duan, and Chen Duan was captured and killed by Li Shu.
Sun Ce has just died on the front foot, and Sun Quan killed the person who recommended him at this time, which is even more contrary to common sense.
Moreover, if Li Shu was sincerely obedient, why didn't he come to vote when Sun Ce just died? Now that you are desperate to ask me for help, how sincere are you? ”
The boss set the tone for Li Shu's case, and asked Liu Xun to return to the table to sit down, he could only nod and say no more.
Xun Yu synthesized the views of Cao Cao and Liu Xun, and once again made a suggestion to Cao Cao: "What Zitai said also has a certain truth, the lord must not ignore it, at this time, Li Shu and Sun Quan should not help each other, they are both defeated and injured in the court's benefit, Yuan Ying can wait for the end of the Lujiang War and then go south, and Li Shu's army will be defeated and then grant Long Xiang Lujiang Taishou..."
"It's only been two days since we returned to Xudu, and Zhang Zigang came to Sikong Mansion twice, and it can't be said that Sun Quan won't be given a name, and he will leave the above table for Long Xiang for the time being?"
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu suspiciously, and said in his heart that you are in Shangshutai on weekdays, and these things are the clearest.
Xun Yu replied: "Sun Quan's side should indeed be canonized, Long Xiang occupies Hefei as a military horse, the lord can send someone to confer a military position to tie his heart, and Yuan Ying will naturally go to confer an official position, but the military position should not be too high..."
"Hmm..."
Cao Cao nodded, "Although this son has a small victory, he is not qualified as a general, so he can be given a lieutenant for the time being, in the past?" Cousin Sun Ce is the captain of Huaiyi, and Wen Ruoke can be worshiped as the captain of Huaixin. ”
"I'm going to play tomorrow, and Zhang Zigang is in Xu Du, and his heart is in Wu, so it makes no sense for the lord to keep this person..."
"What does Wen Ruo mean..."
"Huazi Yuxin is to the imperial court but is stranded in Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Sun Quan respect their names and can't use their talents, why don't the lord exchange them back with Zhang Zigang?"
"Wen Ruo's words are exactly what I want."
During the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there were many people in the rear who secretly communicated to Hebei, Zhang Hong was Sun Ce's mastermind, and his family members were all in Jiangdong, so it is understandable to miss the old master at this time.
Although he won the battle in Guandu, Cao Cao would not fight Jiangdong at this time, and the lack of warships mentioned by Xun Yu just now was only one of the reasons, and the forces surging in the dark tide of Xudu were even more deadly, and he had to temporarily stay in Xudu to stabilize the situation.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, although Emperor Liu Xie was set aside, and although Dong Cheng and others were killed, as long as the banner of Chinese characters did not fall, there was a possibility of replacing Cao Cao.
Xun Yu and Xiahoudun, who stayed behind in the rear, were capable, but they were never as capable as Cao Cao himself, this was like the last desperate moment of Guandu, and his life was only in his own hands.
Cao Cao did not dare to leave Xu Capital for a long time since he welcomed the Son of Heaven, and at this time he did not dare to take advantage of the chaos to go south to collect Jiangdong, and he did not dare to spend a long time with Liu Bei in the battle of Hanzhong, the reason is that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still there, and it is easy to have accidents in the rear after being away from home for a long time.
Hebei Yuan Shao's strength is still strong, Xu Du's people are now unstable, Cao Cao can only appease Jiangdong at this time, but he needs to win over a small force like Long Xiang to check and balance.
The next day, Cao Cao summoned Zhang Hong to Sikong Mansion.
As soon as they met, Cao Cao teased Zhang Hong: "Sun Zhong is not doing anything more, and he does not want to appease the people when he succeeds to the throne, but he instigates Chen Duan to kill the assassin Shi. ”
Zhang Hong was urged by Liu You, the envoy of Jiangdong, to come to Sikong Mansion twice to ask to see Cao Cao, but both times he refused because Cao Cao was busy with official business.
I didn't want to meet as soon as I met, Cao Cao gave himself a problem.
Seeing that Cao Cao 'listened to and believed', Zhang Hong did not panic.
I saw him think for a while, and replied: "This is Li Shu's words, Ming Gong can not be credulous, I and Chen Zizheng are fellow villagers, I know very well what he is as a person, I would rather die than do such a despicable thing, in addition, Sun Zhongmou is a person who respects people, how can he murder the benefactor who recommended him during his brother's funeral?" This is contrary to common sense... Wan Wangming Gong is deeply observed..."
"Each has its own words, and it is impossible to distinguish them..."
Cao Cao's expression was indifferent, and he shook his head lightly and sighed.
Zhang Hong said again: "If you can't distinguish it, why should Ming Gong favor Li Shu?" The history of the assassination should be determined as soon as possible, and Huainan should be investigated, and Jiangdong has been to Shangshutai for a long time, please ask Ming Gong to approve and deal with it as soon as possible..."
Cao Cao frowned, and said solemnly: "Sun Zhongmou is less and not more important, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the people of Jiangdong, recently there have been many thieves and robbers in Yangzhou, the ministers and I are deeply worried, I heard that Sun Ce also had the intention of attacking Xudu, and now he died young, causing Jiangdong to be unstable, if I get up from the king to the south, or can I decide the southeast in a war?" ”
"Uh..."
Zhang Hong paused and admonished: "First of all, the trouble of the Ming Gong is in the north and not in the south; Secondly, the thief of Jiangdong has been cleared by Sun Bofu, and the mustard at this time is not enough to worry about, although Sun Zhongmou is young, but with the assistance of the old wings, he will be able to make Jiangdong peaceful; Moreover, taking advantage of people's mourning is not an ancient meaning, if it is not restrained, it is better to become an enemy and abandon it, so it is better to be thick? ”
"Haha."
Cao Cao smiled and flicked his sleeves: "Zigang is also a true eloquent, can you go to Jiangdong to recruit surrender on behalf of the imperial court?" ”
"To Koto? Surrender? But I can't do it..."
Zhang Hong's family is in Jiangdong, and he has long wanted to go back to assist the old master, but when he heard Cao Cao say this, he suddenly felt unreal, worried that the other party was digging a trap for himself.
Cao Cao replied solemnly: "There is no need to be in a hurry to surrender, after Zigang arrives, you can slowly persuade me, I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I will play Sun Quan as the general to take prisoners, comprehend Ji Taishou, and recommend you as the eastern governor of Huiji..."
"Thank you Ming Gong..."
"Zigang, don't worry, you still have a mission to Jiangdong, if Sun Quan does not obey the edict, I will send troops to ask for it..."
Some people died, but not completely......
