Chapter 482 - Cao Mengde's counterattack
Sima Yi knew very well where the strengths and weaknesses of his strategy were.
Therefore, Sima Yi also knew very well that if Cao Mengde had no other ideas, he would definitely not use his own method.
Because he is dangerous, and there is no need!
At this time, Cao Mengde has an absolute advantage, the kind of advantage that consumes enough to consume others to death...
If you use your own method, then there are only two possibilities.
First, Cao Mengde was worried that the Liu Association would continue to grow and had to be suppressed!
Of course, this is possible, otherwise Guo Jia would not have proposed this plan to fight to the death with that Liu Xie at this time to pull him down.
But if that's the case, then Guo Jia's strategy should be used instead of his.
Unless under this premise, Cao Mengde is worried that he will lose too much and shake his foundation, or he will feel sorry for the dead soldiers will be too man....
That's!
Even if Sima Yi has not joined Cao Mengde's command for a long time, he also knows what kind of person Xun Yu is!
Not to mention using 100,000 people to fight to the death, even if 100,000 people let Xiahoudun be sent out in a battle, with him Xun Yu here, he will be able to pull out another 100,000 soldiers and horses for Cao Mengde in three or five years.
And it has to be the elite kind!
So, how could Cao Mengde worry about shaking his foundation?
As for the lives of the soldiers.....
For the time being, let's not say anything like being in charge of the soldiers, let's just say that it is impossible for him Cao Mengde to pity the lives of the soldiers under his command.
It's not that he's cold-blooded and ruthless, but in this world event, if he can't understand this thing, how can he get to this point?
He is a eunuch, Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!
So after determining that this is not the possibility, then Sima Yi probably understood this guy's thoughts...
"This one, obviously, wants to use this thing to accomplish another thing.... Dong Zhao, that old guy really guessed right! ”
Sima Yi seems to have understood Cao Mengde's thoughts, but... He didn't dare say more.
And the corner of his eye also looked at Xun Yu, who had just fallen into silence with a calm face.
At this moment, Sima suddenly felt that it was good for him to be thrown out, although he would be watched by the school government for twelve hours a day.
But in this land of Luoyang, it is clear that there will be a big mess.
And this Prime Minister Cao Cheng made it clear... I'm just looking for a replacement.
This can... Amazing!
Sima Yi, who understood these things, quickly bowed down to receive the order without saying a word, and then hurriedly retreated.
As for Na Xun Yu and Guo Jia, both seemed to want to say something, but in the end they didn't say anything.
And Cao Mengde never planned to say anything more to them....
And after today's events, in this Luoyang City, above the court of Luoyang, there are indeed waves of waves.
First, Sima Yi ran away like a refugee, and then everyone didn't understand what kind of situation this Sima Yi was.
The court suddenly became lively.
I don't know who it started, but suddenly a group of people began to play towards Liu He endlessly, and they had to ask for credit for this outstanding Cao Mengde and Cao Chengxiang!
"The prime minister has a merit in pacifying the thieves and settling the place, we will ask for my life, follow the law of the fifth-class duke, and please make the prime minister a duke!"
"The prime minister's meritorious service is outstanding, and it is not enough to reward him if he is not crowned!"
"The prime minister and Your Majesty, share weal and woe, and should be rewarded for the public, so as to help Your Majesty stabilize the country..."
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, it began in the disturbance of the Luoyang court!
At the same time, above the Luoyang court, the word "Cao Gong" seems to be finally uncontrollable.
A group of guys who came out of nowhere, one by two, began to tell about Cao Mengde's exploits as if they were crazy.
Before, idle, and even "future".
These are really crazy, as if this Cao Mengde has now helped Liu He unify the world.
And this crazy mode of asking for merit really began to make people with hearts fall into a burst of doubts, and they felt that this matter was full of weirdness.
And, most of the people seem to have some guesses.
It's just that their status is not enough for them to participate.....
And as the Shang Shuling of the Great Han, Xun Yu was of course not unaware of these, and it could even be said that they had not fully started.
He already knows something!
But... He didn't say much.
But when this matter really started to make noise, Xun Yu would not continue to remain indifferent.
Whether it is as a wise man in the world, or as a confidant of Cao Mengde, or as a great Han scholar of the Luoyang Han court.... He knows all too well what that means now.
But when he understood these things, he still chose to stand up when he shouldn't have come forward.
Just when Dong Zhao led his ministers to request that Cao Mengde be admitted to the Duke of the Kingdom and be crowned Jiuxi, Xun Yu rejected this proposal extremely firmly for the first time.
In the shocked eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Xun Wenruo angrily reprimanded Dong Zhao and others, and even Cao Mengde...
On that day, all the courtiers in the court seemed to be blind, looking at Xun Yu in front of them with shocked faces.
They looked at Cao Mengde, looked at Xun Yu, and some even couldn't help but look at the emperor Liu He, who had no status.
They really didn't know what reason this Xun Lingjun would refuse this matter at this time.
And it's so firm....
Just above the court in Luoyang, in the palace of Luoyang, he Xun Wenruo actually used a firm attitude that he had never had in his life to oppose one thing that Cao Mengde was bound to do.
This point is really incomprehensible to everyone.
Who is Xun Yu?
That's Prime Minister Cao's most confidant!
Since the time when Prime Minister Cao Cheng had nothing, he had already had a lot of friendship with him, and he didn't even recommend a good strategist before Prime Minister Cao Cheng recommended a good strategist - Xi Zhicai!
After being put into the command of Cao Mengde, he made many miraculous achievements, and it can be said that Cao Mengde was able to go from a eunuch step by step to the first prince of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!
At least half of that Xun Yu... Or even the above!
Such a mastermind, a wise man, and a confidant who single-handedly brought Cao Mengdra up.... would take the lead in pulling Cao Mengde down at this time.
Not to mention this matter, Cao Mengde was angry, the ministers were blinded, and even Liu He, who was on the throne of the emperor, was dumbfounded at this moment.
Everyone doesn't know, this Xun Yu, what the hell is going on.
Did he go crazy or did he drink fake wine last night!
But no matter what, Xun Yu's move this time completely changed his life.
One could even say .... Since then, Xun Wenruo's mansion has really become a door... And he, Xun Wenruo, really made everyone incomprehensible.
Not only the courtiers in the court, but even Xun Yu's own family members couldn't understand it.
The Xun family, who is now in full swing under the command of the Cao family, was stunned to find all the wise people in the family as soon as they knew about it.
Even Xun Yu's elders also invited him back, and they all wanted to ask this Xun Yu, what the hell was going on....
Even Xun You, who had just stabilized the defense line of the Central Plains Sanzhou and reorganized the land of the Central Plains Sanzhou instead of Cao Mengde, rushed back directly.
Then ignoring the curfew in Luoyang, he rushed outside Xun Yu's mansion overnight....
"Uncle..."
As a nephew in the family, and as a "comrade and close friend" who has fought side by side for so many years, at this time, perhaps only Xun You is willing to stand up and meet Xun Yu.
Only Xun Yu, at this time, was able to break through the countless obstacles in the Xun Yu Mansion and appear in front of that Xun Yu.
And after seeing Xun Yu, a nephew who was older than himself, Xun Yu was not surprised, and of course there was no surprise.
"Gongda... You shouldn't have come to see me at this time! Xun Yu raised his head slightly, looking at this nephew who was older than himself, but he could only show a wry smile that was almost helpless.
And this wry smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, his skin, and made his face look even older in the faint light of the fire...
And such a look of Xun Yu also made the nephew Xun Yu couldn't help but twitch in his heart...
Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who was personable and known as "Xiangjun", is now like a drooping old and rotten person, with gray hair and wrinkled face.
How long has it been since I got the news?
A few days, or half a month?
It was as if in this short period of time, heaven and earth had taken away everything from him and all his spirit.
is such a look of Xun Yu, which makes Xun Yu, as a nephew, very helpless.
"Uncle, what is this suffering...."Xun Yu, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but twitch in his heart when he saw Xun Yu like this, "Uncle is a wise man in this world, and now in this world..."
"Now in this world, there is no way for a big man to live." Xun Yu still had a wry smile on his face, and his voice was extraordinarily calm, "Why do you need to say this, of course the old man understands!" ”
"If my uncle understands, why is this necessary?"
Xun You really doesn't understand this, he is also the top wise man in the world, and it can even be said that he is one of the few existences in the world.
But this time in the face of his uncle, he really didn't understand why, what was going on...
And... If this Xun Yu is actually a loyal Han family... That's no different from!
Xun You is an elegant person, but if someone says that Xun Yu is a person who is loyal to the Han from the heart, then Xun You will definitely smoke him to death with big ears.
Who is this shuddering!
Who is this uncle in your own family?
first voted for Yuan Shao, and then entered the Cao Mansion, when he was a personal official by His Majesty's side, he didn't have half a point of nostalgia.
But if this uncle of his own family is a minister of the Han family, Dong Zhuo didn't think that it would be so easy to succeed in seizing power!
As for those people under his Dong Zhuo, how could even Wang Yun be able to play with them in the palm of his hand, how could he escape his uncle's calculations?
Li Ru, who is now known for his amazing skills, is actually just a small strategist, and now Jia Xu, who is famous all over the world, was still a subordinate in the hands of Li Dao....
Besides, when it comes to loyalty to Dahan, he was also the one who directly assassinated Dong Zhuo back then.
My own uncle... Well... Pretty fast!
So Xun You never thought that Xun Yu, who was an uncle, was a person who was willing to do anything for the sake of the Han.
But no matter what, he will not help Cao Mengde to get to this point, nor will he let the court of Chang'an go to their opposite side step by step.
Even.... Xun You carefully recalled what his uncle meant just now, good guy, this didn't take the Chang'an Imperial Court and that Liu Xie as a person at all...
In that case, then what is he making trouble about!
"Uncle has never said half a sentence for so many years, and he has never refused half a sentence so many times...
Why is it suddenly that my uncle is today... Suddenly had such an idea?
As mentioned here, it was proposed by my uncle and father to welcome the saint back then, and it was even supplemented by the policy of moving the capital to Xuchang.
Although these things did not succeed in the end, how to make the prime minister deal with the court and the little emperor of the puppet dynasty over the years was also from his uncle.
Even.... Even... Even how many loyal ghosts of the Han Dynasty have died in the hands of the prime minister over the years.
Uncle, you have seen these things with your own eyes, and you have never stopped them! ”
When Xun You said this, he couldn't help but secretly look at Xun Yu, for fear that these words would anger him.
Or let this uncle not pay attention and make himself angry to death....
But fortunately, these things didn't happen, and Xun Yu just sighed helplessly for a lifetime.
Xun Yu seemed to understand what Xun You wanted to say, how could he not understand Xun You's doubts at this time.
Therefore... Xun Yu still let out a sigh towards Xun Yu.
"yes... These old men are doing these things like a deaf man, a mute man.
I knew that the contradiction between the prime minister and the two Majesties was getting stronger day by day, but I kept pretending not to see it, just ignoring it and ignoring it...
Back then... In fact, His Majesty wrote a letter to the old man back then, and there seemed to be some solicitation in this letter.
Perhaps His Majesty still remembered the old man, until the old man used to be the servant of the little officials beside him.
He may think that the old man is still the courtier who is full of ambition and wants to make the Han prosperous.
But... But the old man let him down!
Not only that Majesty, but even this Majesty today.
He hinted at the old man more than once, hoping that the old man could be different from those people, and that the old man could help him.
But neither did the old man, the old man... Disappointed him too! ”
Xun Yu was also full of helplessness and pain when he spoke, as if he could finally vent all the emotions in his heart without any scruples.
And his tone finally became fierce at this moment.
"Over the years, what have people in the world said about me Xun Wenruo?
Xiangjun? Xun Lingjun? Or the Ancient Son's Room?
How many people say that if I Xun Wen is famous, my eyes are outstanding?
How many people have said that I, Xun Wenruo, have won the name before and after my death...
My family is proud of me, the world is proud of me, my friends are all over the world, and I am said to have a long history of children and grandchildren, and my talent is good...
It's really enviable... Gongda, do you say how many people in this world envy me? ”
Xun You looked at his uncle in front of him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
And Xun Yu refused to answer, but Xun Yu didn't stop, only to see him slowly stand up, just walked in front of Xun You, and looked at his nephew with a bitter smile.
"The old man Xun Wenruo, he has been famous all over the world since he was a child, and the weak crown has already come out of His Majesty's side, the princes of this world... Xun Yu has already seen it.
In this troubled world, Xun Yu has also calmed down most of it...
Under the command of the lord, Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun, Du Xian, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia... Even you Xun Gongda and so on, which one is not recommended by me Xun Wenruo to enter the lord's command?
Planning, conspiring, conspiring, raising people... What did I Xun Wenruo not do well, and what did I not do enough? ”
Xun Wenruo's tone began to become a little excited, and it could even be said that it became a little miserable, and under this tragedy, there was a thick sense of helplessness.
"For so many years, I, Xun Wenruo, have been working hard to maintain the court and the prime minister, and even the old man thought about it back then.
If His Majesty can be moved to Xudu, maybe under the maneuver of the old man, he will already be a harmonious guy with a monarch and ministers.
But the old man now... Now I am very glad that this thing did not work out back then!
In fact, you don't need to persuade the old man to do anything, the old man understands all the truths you say!
Why did the old man join the prime minister, and why did he do so hard to the prime minister?
In the final analysis, it's just because the old man thinks that the prime minister is the only one who can save the world, so His Majesty doesn't understand the old man's intentions.
And the old man never helped any of His Majesty.
The old man turned a blind eye to what the prime minister did, turned a deaf ear to what happened in the world, and turned a deaf ear to the current prime minister...
It also makes the old man still have enough trust!
But why, the prime minister must do such a rebellious thing at such a time!
Back then... Back then, we were obviously raising volunteers in order to help the world, why in the end, we had to let this volunteer become the biggest unrighteous army in the world at this time! ”
Looking at Xun Yu's increasingly passionate appearance, Xun Yu knew that he actually had a lot to say.
But.... Xun You, who was a nephew, couldn't continue until he couldn't continue.
If it continues now, then a lot of things will become very troublesome.
Therefore, he just sighed calmly, and then bowed slightly towards his uncle Xun Yu.
"Uncle... The nephew retired. ”
Xun You didn't explain, persuade, or say anything else.
Because at this moment, he finally understood a truth.
"Uncle knows better than anyone what is going on in the world today, and he understands better than anyone how this prime minister got to this point.
It's just that what my uncle doesn't understand is what he did wrong..."
Xun Yu's words made Xun Yu finally fall silent, looking at Xun Yu's slowly departing back, Xun Yu also let out a weak laughter.
"Hehe... Where the hell did the old man do something wrong.... Which step did the old man do wrong! ”
"Could it be that the old man is wrong to let the world calm down quickly?
Could it be that the old man is wrong to choose a person that the old man approves?
Now.... And why did it come to this point! ”
Xun Yu may have really been stimulated by Xun Yu, this time Xun Yu kept saying these words that were slightly helpless and full of grief and indignation.
It's a pity that in the dead of night, there is no one to answer him.
Just when Xun Yu was fascinated by the authorities here, it was also in Luoyang City, but there were people who were bystanders.
was once jokingly called "Cao Mengde's least favorite son under his knees", at this time, of course, Cao Zihuan was not as beautiful as in later history, and not as careful as in later history.
Cao Ang is still alive now, and his position must be stable, so although Cao Pi at this time has not thought about anything that he shouldn't think.
But still trying to be a simple son!
As Cao Mengde's son, after learning a lot of news outside, he actually couldn't stop stirring in his heart.
And he also has some confidant friends around him.
At this time, he didn't need to compete with that Cao Zhi for anything.
But perhaps it was the accident of history, Cao Ang never liked to engage in any of his own henchmen.
Therefore, many people in Luoyang have a good relationship with other Cao children.
Maybe I also want to follow them into the eyes of Cao Cao.
And that Cao Pi's side... Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen and others naturally gathered around him.
It's just that they don't have any master-slave difference at this time.
It's just a simple friend, Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others think that this Cao Pi is very temperamental!
Now, they were discussing in the mansion what had happened in the court recently.
"Today, Xun Lingjun openly opposed his father, but it made Pi Wei's heart shocked, I really don't know how much benefit those people gave Xun Lingjun to make him do this..."
After hearing Cao Pi's words, Wu Zhen and Chen Qun on the side couldn't help but sneer.
"What the prince said is ridiculous, then Xun Lingjun didn't get any benefits, and no one in the world could impress him with benefits.
Today's events are just the breath that Xun Lingjun has pressed in his heart for so many years to vent out.
Xun Lingjun himself also understands that if he doesn't say it again, then he won't have a chance to say it again in this life..."
When Cao Pi finished saying that, Chen Qun, who is also a wealthy family in Yingchuan and has a lot to do with the Xun family where Xun Yu is located, couldn't help but stand up at this time...
