Chapter 280: Cao Cao's Theory of Self-Reliance

Almost everyone present stared at Cao Cao and Guo Jia, thinking about their words in their hearts.

Since Cao Cao came out, it can be said that it has been very bumpy, with constant bad comments, repeated bad things, and even led to the siege of the Huns, putting Liu Wei in danger.

All kinds of performances can be said to be very unbearable, and few people in the government and the opposition are optimistic about him, that is, the family is strong enough to protect him all the way.

But after three years of Yonghan, Cao Cao showed amazing ability, first quelling the Qiaomao rebellion in Yanzhou, and then relying on his own strength, he forced down nearly one million Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou, shaking the world.

Then, it effortlessly subdued the Montenegrin army and completely uprooted the heart disease of the imperial court.

At this point, Cao Cao has become a trend, no matter how much the government and the opposition impeach and suppress, they can't change the fact that Cao Cao has a powerful ability!

But Cao Cao's did not change, he acted willfully, used troops wantonly, and did not take the court into account at all.

However, since the beginning of the Yonghan Dynasty, Cao Cao has been a close confidant and favorite general in the palace, sheltering him all the way, so that the government and the opposition have no way.

But now, Your Majesty is suspicious, can Cao Cao's explanations pass the test?

Liu Wei listened to Guo Jia's words, his expression did not move, and said: "Cao Cao, Guo Jia said that you are a person who has achieved great things, what is your big thing?" ”

Cao Cao's head slammed on the ground, the corners of his face were like iron, his eyes were as calm as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister takes Wei Qing as an example, and he will make immortal feats and become the name of eternity!" ”

Liu Wei's eyes moved slightly, and he thought in his heart.

Cao Cao's words should be true.

It's just that Liu Wei needs him to be 'real' all the time!

"Why did you suddenly send troops to the county?" Liu Wei said in a blandish tone.

Guo Jia's expression was dark, and he looked at Cao Cao.

He heard a trace of murderous intent from Liu Wei's flat tone.

This is not a pretended warning, it is really moving!

Cao Cao was more sensitive than Guo Jia, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, if he continued to be as big as in the notebook, even if he didn't die today, he wouldn't have any chance in the future!

He took a deep breath and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the destruction of Dong is in me, and Cao Cao is unwilling to let others give such merits!" ”

These words seemed to be sincere, but Liu Wei was noncommittal, and continued: "Has anyone advised you to be self-reliant? ”

Guo Jia's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Cao Cao and shook his head imperceptibly.

"Yes." Cao Cao didn't seem to notice it, and said without thinking.

Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao deeply, slowly sat up straight, and put down the bowl in his hand.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others looked at Cao Cao, their faces were different, and they were more frightened.

Cao Cao is the most trusted general of His Majesty today, and he has stopped many disasters for him, and in order to protect Cao Cao, His Majesty in front of him does not know how many courtiers he has offended.

But such a person, there are actually people who persuade him to stand on his own!

And grandiosely, in front of His Majesty, confessed!

They couldn't help but look at Liu Wei, only to see that His Majesty's side face was calm and waveless, and they couldn't see any expression clearly.

Pan Yin quietly shrank his head and gave Dian Wei a look quietly.

Although Dian Wei seems to be simple, he is not stupid at all.

took a few steps forward, holding a spear, glaring, and revealing his murderous intentions to Cao Cao and the others.

The surrounding guards heard the wind, drew their swords, and surrounded Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xu Zhu.

Guo Jia's face turned slightly pale, his hands grabbed the grass on the ground, his eyes flashed rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.

And Xu Zhu did not have a weapon on his body, and the big man knelt on Cao Cao's right, not daring to move.

Liu Wei stared at Cao Cao, this Cao Cao's straightforwardness was somewhat unexpected to him.

At the beginning, someone persuaded Huang Fu Song to be self-reliant, but Huang Fu Song refused silently, and no one knew about it.

What does this Cao Cao think?

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl, the knife was gently cut on the sheep's body, and said casually: "How did you do it?" ”

Cao Cao felt the coldness of his neck, his voice was steady and powerful, and he said: "The ministers will cut their hands, abandon the corpse in the wild, and let the wild dogs gnaw it." ”

Zhao Yun frowned subconsciously, feeling uneasy.

It stands to reason that when encountering such unsubordinate words, they should be captured and handed over to the court for questioning.

However, this kind of matter is too sensitive, and it is generally handled privately and secretly.

But Cao Cao was different, he killed it with his own hands and threw his body into the wild.

It seems to be a manifestation of loyalty, but if you don't report it, it shows even more weakness!

Liu Wei ate mutton, looked to the south, and said: "Spread the decree, Zhang Liao is the Taishou of Hanzhong, Sima Fang is the pastor of Qingzhou, Liu Bei is transferred to the Taishou of Langya, and Xu Rong returns to the camp of the forbidden army." Then he sent an edict to Gongsun Zhan, ordered him to be the vanguard, and conquered Yuan Shu in April. ”

Pan Yin hurriedly said: "The villain leads the order." ”

With that, he turned around and went to arrange.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other quietly, secretly thinking about this arrangement.

'Destroying Yuan' is undoubtedly a great achievement, whoever can get it, the marquis is a trivial matter.

And Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, is already the Marquis of Wucheng, but this will is only Gongsun Zhan, the general of Fenwu!

Cao Cao's head slammed on the ground, his long narrow eyes were calm, and he only narrowed slightly.

He was very calm in his heart, not worried about his own safety, and still thinking about the situation in the south.

After Liu Wei arranged these, he slowly ate the roast sheep, carefully deliberated for a while, and said, "Cao Cao, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?" ”

Cao Cao did not hesitate and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are 8,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers, and 30,000 young and strong." ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the back of Cao Cao's head.

I didn't think before, listening to Cao Cao say this in person, he somewhat understood why those people in the government and the opposition were afraid of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said eighty-eight thousand, but when it was really mobilized, the 100,000 army was easy.

100,000 troops!

It can be said that it is on par with the imperial court!

Liu Wei considered reducing Cao Cao's troops, but he immediately felt that it was in vain, it was easy for people like Cao Cao to expand the number of soldiers!

Liu Wei took a deep breath, this Cao Cao made him a little indecisive now.

One Liu Bei is not enough to balance Cao Cao.

And the court is facing the problem of 'replacement', some capable ministers in the era of Emperor Ling, the death of the dead, the sickness, the new generation of power is just around the corner.

Can those people in the court still be able to suppress Cao Cao?

In the silence, Liu Wei glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Do you want immortal meritoriousness?" ”

Cao Cao didn't move like a mountain and said, "Yes." The minister swears to be Wei Qing and leave the name of eternity. ”

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, but he still fixed his mind, sat up straight, and said, "I believe in you." Give you this chance too! I give you the right to be cheap, and the Great Sima Mansion will no longer restrain you and let you do it! ”

Cao Cao's narrowed eyes opened suddenly, his face sank like iron, and his heart was stirring like boiling.

He never expected that at this time, His Majesty in front of him would still be so bold!

"Command!"

Cao Cao kowtowed again, his voice was sonorous like a sword fight, indestructible, and said: "The minister swears by the water of the Luo River, and he will live up to His Majesty's mighty grace!" ”

Liu Wei also exhaled lightly, and it was not so easy for him to make this determination.

Standing up and looking at the south, he said, "Destroy Yuan Shu first, go ahead." ”

Cao Cao's excited and nervous emotions could not be calmed down, so he could only respond: "Minister's order, retire!" ”

Liu Wei didn't say anything more, put his hands behind his back, and looked south.

Cao Cao stepped back, walked a few steps, turned over his horse, beat his horse and galloped away.

Pan Yin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only watch Cao Cao's back disappear from sight.

He really wanted to persuade Liu Wei to kill Cao Cao now, otherwise he would raise a tiger in the future!

The eyes of Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others wandered endlessly on Liu Wei's side face.

This majesty in front of you is really bold!

I just don't know if Cao Cao will really keep his promise.

At this moment, Liu Wei suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and others, and said, "I remember, just now Cao Cao swore by Luoshui?" ”

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Liu Wei's eyebrows jumped and jumped uncontrollably, and he couldn't twist it even if he tried his best.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Cao Cao's departure, and suddenly felt a strong murderous intent in his heart.

Luoshui, this reminds Liu Wei of a big man who is still a teenager, but who stirred the Three Kingdoms in history, and is to some extent more ruthless than Cao Cao - Sima Yi.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, a cavalryman galloped over, jumped to the ground, knelt down on one knee and said: "The Imperial City Mansion has reported urgently, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have married, and the two have agreed to jointly send troops to Guangling and Wu County." ”

Liu Wei glanced at Sun Ce, saw that his face was full of nervousness, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

The herald knelt on the ground, held a letter, and said: "The captain said that the Jiaozhi family was dissatisfied with the delay in accepting the fate of Jiaozhou Assassin, and deliberately stopped the army. ”

Liu Wei sneered and said, "Is this coercing?" ”

Sun Ce instinctively felt cold all over, as if he felt Liu Bian's eyes.

The secret covenant between the Sun family and the Shi family was well known to the imperial court, and Sun Ce was very sensitive when he heard the word 'Shi family', as if a sharp blade had been placed on his neck.

The herald waited for a while and said, "The captain also said that Liu Biao, Shixie and others also sent people to Yizhou, and what they talked about is being investigated." The Shu road is difficult to travel, and I am afraid that I will have to wait for ten days and a half months. ”

Liu Wei was very satisfied with Huangfu Jianchang, and nodded: "I know." Spread the word to him that his father was seriously ill and should return to Luoyang as soon as possible. ”

"Yes. The villain retired. The herald answered, turned and mounted his horse, and galloped away.

Liu Wei opened the letter in his hand, and Huangfu Jian wrote a lot and was more detailed.

Not only Lu Bu and Yuan Shu colluded, preparing to attack Sun Jian on both sides, dividing Guangling and Wu Jun equally, but also Gongsun Zan was expanding his army, Yuan Shao was recruiting wise men, and the movements of the major families in Jiangdong.

Liu Wei read it carefully, pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked at Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, what do you think, how should I help Wu Chenghou?" ”

Sun Ce's scalp was numb, his heart was cold, and he raised his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that you should send troops from Langya County to attack Lu Bu with Wucheng Hou, and destroy Lu Bu first and then Yuan Shu." ”

"If you don't win,"

Liu Wei glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "Or, what if Lu Bu was defeated and defected to Dong Zhuo?" ”

Sun Ce is not the little overlord in the future, and with his flustered mind, he can't answer Liu Wei's question at all for a while.

Liu Wei waited for a while, and smiled with Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Yu was a little calmer than Sun Ce, pretended to think for a while, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if the imperial court occupies Xuzhou, it will surround Dong Zhuo on all sides, and destroy Dong only between His Majesty's backhand." ”

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Reasonable." ”

There's a!

This week, Yu is also arguing with Liu Haha.

I don't know if it's because I experienced Cao Cao's incident, but now Liu Wei thinks that everyone is not so credible, and there is always a reason to rebel.

Taking a deep breath and shaking off the complicated emotions, Liu Wei and Pan Yin said: "Go back to Beijing, Zilong, the forbidden army camp is taken care of by you." ”

"Commandment." Zhao Yun responded.

Looking at Zhao Yun, who was covered in silver armor and the corners of his face were like the corners of his face, Liu Wei was in a much better mood, patted the dust on his buttocks, and walked directly to the carriage.

Pan Yin and the others didn't dare to speak, and quickly arranged the arrangement.

And Zhang Xiu, Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu and others can only 'send your majesty' because of the sensitivity and complexity of their identities, and they don't dare to say a word more.

Waiting for Liu Wei's carriage to go away, Zhao Yun got on the horse, looked down at the crowd, his eyes were suddenly as sharp as a gun, and said: "Back to the camp, today's matter, half a word came out, exterminate the clan!" ”

Zhang Xiu, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and others raised their hands and said, "The last general will take orders!" ”

A group of people got on their horses and followed Zhao Yun back to the forbidden army camp.

Liu Wei sat in the carriage and staggered back to Luoyang.

There was a stack of notebooks on the small table in front of him, but he only picked out the ones that were important at the moment.

The impeachment of Yang Biao seems to have suddenly decreased by more than half, and the number of recitals recommending Xun Yu has also decreased sharply.

As for the verdict of the Tingwei Mansion, Wang Lang's 'letter of admonition' to Yang Biao is rarely mentioned in the notebook in front of him, and even if there is, it is a passing pass.

It was as if everything was a gust of wind, and when the wind passed, everything settled and there were no more waves.

After reading this, Liu Wei opened the curtain, looked at Pan Yin and said, "The Yang family's case, haven't you found out who is behind the scenes?" ”

Pan Yin rode his horse and hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Yes." The villain used the Imperial City Mansion and also delivered a message to Zuo Li, but no clues were found. ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and lowered the curtains.

He leaned on Xiangbi, his expression was obscure, and he said to himself: "Is it really the handiwork of the Yingchuan Party?" It's amazing how clever the design is without revealing any flaws......"

A Cao Cao made Liu Wei a little irritable, and the civil officials in the capital should not be underestimated.

They are all capable people, and each one of them cannot be underestimated!

Liu Wei subconsciously touched the jade pendant on his waist, rubbed it gently, and thought about it repeatedly.

Yang Biao Zhishi, Xun Yu replaced as prime minister, it is the replacement of Shangshutai, and it is also the replacement of the imperial court, which is destined to have big changes.

And the 'Yingchuan Party', which already monopolized the imperial court, will soon be 'Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty' and control most of the power of the Han Dynasty!

"I hope they don't let me down......"

Liu Bian's eyes were full of expectations with a smile in his eyes.

The 'Yingchuan Party' entered the hall and was promoted and created by Liu Wei.

He needed the imperial court to concentrate its energy and power to promote the 'New Deal', especially when it came to land, and there seemed to be no other force that could do it except the 'Yingchuan Party'.

Thinking that the 'Yingchuan Party' was about to become dominant, Liu Wei opened the curtains again and looked at the somewhat bright sky.

Tingwei Wang Lang, Yushitai Liu Xie, and Cao Cao Sima Jun.

These three people are basically independent of Shangshutai, can they check and balance the 'Yingchuan Party'?
