Cao Cao was not surprised, and looked at Guo Jia.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought, which will undoubtedly destroy the imperial court's 'plan to woo Dong'.

Guo Jia drank the wine, laughed, and said: "Gongsun Zhan is a famous general outside the Saiwai, it was too careless to lose to Yuan Shu before, but now that he has been recuperating for a few years, Yuan Shao is not so easy to win." ”

Cao Cao nodded, stretched his legs, and said: "However, Gongsun Zhan is a military general, and he is not welcomed among the scholars, and Duke Lu has passed away, and he is in Jiujiang, and it is a matter of time before he is defeated." ”

Xiahou Yuan sat down and said, "So, isn't Yangzhou going to completely fall into the hands of Yuan Shao?" And that Sun Jian is about to die, and I am afraid that some of Xuzhou will also fall into his hands. In this way, Yuan Shao's power is even greater than Yuan Shu before! ”

Guo Jia pondered, shook his head with a strange expression, and said: "The reputation of the Yuan family for several generations is completely defeated in the hands of Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shao sued the Yuan family to protect himself, but the prestige of the Yuan family is gone, and Yuan Shao has no possibility of open rebellion." This Yuan Benchu, it's a pity......"

Cao Cao did not belittle Yuan Shao again, looking outside, somewhat emotional.

Thinking about how high-spirited Yuan Shao was at the beginning, in Luoyang City, riding a high-headed horse, looking down on everyone.

Not to mention that after a eunuch like Cao Cao, he is a famous family, or a relative of the emperor, how many can enter his eyes?

It's really empty-eyed, and the eyes are above the top.

What followed made Yuan Shao's reputation unprecedented, and the world praised him.

Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace, and the eunuchs who had hated the warriors for decades were almost slaughtered!

After this incident, Yuan Shao became a model for the people of the world, and the scholars all applauded him, treating him as a 'man of the sky'.

At that time, Cao Cao was also deeply admired, this kind of courage is rare in the world and difficult to find.

But who would have thought that the world is changeable and has come to this point.

The ambitions of the Yuan family were exposed, and they were liquidated by the imperial court, and then many people in the Yuan family rebelled and were wiped out one after another.

But Yuan Shao's current situation has become quite embarrassing.

Yuan Shao survived because he was detained by Liu Wei in Huangmen Beisi Prison before the Yuan family incident, and then he was spared by 'suing the Yuan family for rebellion'.

Just like Guo Jia said, Yuan Shao can't rebel anymore, otherwise he will definitely be discredited and everyone will rebel and leave.

The fourth world and the third duke, the prestige is grand, the head of the scholar clan, the Yuan family who is expected in the world, how can it not be embarrassing to come to this point.

Guo Jia, Cao Cao was very emotional, but Xiahou Yuan didn't know it, and said: "Meng De, Yuan Shao is big, it's not good for you, right?" ”

Cao Cao came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "It doesn't matter, the most important thing now is to exterminate Dong Zhuo." No matter what Yuan Shao wants to do, as soon as the court wills, Yuan Shao will have to carry the banner. The Yuan family was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, and in this battle, Yuan Shao has to fight if he doesn't fight! ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't have this brain, and when he looked between the two, he fell on Guo Jia's face and said, "Military Division, is it easy to fight?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned, a little surprised that Xiahou Yuan mentioned this problem, hesitated slightly, and said, "It's not easy to fight." ”

"How?" Xiahou Yuan's face was curious, and he looked like he was seeking advice.

Cao Cao moved his sore leg again, as if he didn't care, but he also pricked up his ears.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said: "During the Warring States Period, the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, and the strength of the Six Kingdoms far surpassed that of Qin, but they were still defeated again and again, and they were finally destroyed by Qin. The fundamental reason is that they have different thoughts and different desires, so that they can't unite as one, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I run, how can you destroy Qin? ”

Xiahou Yuan understood and said, "Then, we won't succeed in courting Dong?" ”

Guo Jia nodded without hesitation and said: "When the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, it was very smooth at first, but the confrontation was stalemate in the later stage, and then it was to give land to the Qin State. ”

Xiahou Yuan's face changed suddenly, and his eyes widened.

Cao Cao sat down again, saw Xiahou Yuan's expression, and said with a smile: "The situation is very similar and very different, Dong Zhuo is not a Qin State, at most it is a South Korea." ”

Xiahou Yuan reads very little, Guo Jia can only understand what he says clearly, Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Yuan doesn't know at all.

What is Korea?

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "The general's meaning, it's very easy to understand, don't care." ”

Xiahou Yuan immediately raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "General, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Knock knock

Before Xiahou Yuan's words fell, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a servant said loudly at the bottom of the steps: "Master Qiqi, Da Sima is visiting." ”

Cao Cao was stunned, hurriedly got up on crutches, and said, "Please." ”

After speaking, he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the general is about to set off." ”

Cao Cao had a premonition, didn't say much, and went straight to the front hall.

Mrs. Ding stood outside the door for a long time with wine and food, and had to leave quietly when she saw this.

Coming to the front hall, Cao Cao and Liu Yu greeted each other and sat opposite each other.

Liu Yu touched his beard and said with a smile: "Meng De, how is the injury going?" ”

Cao Cao sat upright, leaned over slightly, and said: "Da Sima has a life, Cao Cao is a broken leg, and he can also get on the horse and kill the enemy!" ”

Liu Yu smiled more and said: "The government and the opposition all say that Meng De is unruly, eagles look at wolves, and is a yin and evil person. ”

Cao Cao's face did not change, and said: "Da Sima praises falsely, Cao Cao is ashamed and dare not be." ”

Liu Yu observed Cao Cao, and seeing that he was not emotional, he paused, and said: "The old man is no longer going around in circles, the court has received a secret report, and Sun Jian should not be able to live." His in-laws, Gongcao Shangshu Wu Jing are trying to get Sun Jian's son Sun to attack Chengwu Chenghou and return to Wu County to preside over the overall situation. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he said, "Da Sima thinks it's inappropriate? ”

Liu Yu's expression showed a hint of displeasure, and said, "Meng De, in front of the old man, do you also have to hide it?" ”

Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The lower officials don't dare." It's just that the situation of the lower officials is ...... The lower officials also did not approve of Sun Jian or the Jiangdong family continuing to be in charge of the army. ”

Cao Cao gave a truth, Liu Yu nodded, and sighed lightly: "The old man knows Meng De's situation. In front of His Majesty, the old man tried to protect it many times, and there were many criticisms with Shang Shutai and Liucao for this. However, Meng De rest assured that the old man was in the Da Sima Mansion for a day, and he could not tolerate the slightest grievance of loyalty and goodness! ”

Cao Cao immediately raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao, thank you Duke Liu for your protection!" ”

Liu Yu touched his beard again and said, "What do you think about the matter of begging Dong?" ”

Cao Cao saw that Liu Yutu was poor and saw the dagger, so he pretended to hesitate and hesitated for a while, and said: "Don't hide it from Liu Gong, the lower officials are not optimistic." One is that the number of troops is too small, the second is that Dong Zhuo is not Yuan Shu and the like, the third is that the court is in danger and cannot use all his strength, and the fourth is that the people are different and rebellious like a cluster, which may not be effective. ”

Liu Yu paused his hand and said, "Meng De, what is the best policy?" ”

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Liu Yu, his eyes were burning, his expression was firm, and he said in a deep voice: "The lower officials think that they should use both suppression and appeasement, on the one hand, to suppress and divide Dong Zhuo with the righteousness of the imperial court, and on the other hand, to gather strong troops and destroy Dong Zhuo with the momentum of thunder." Once it becomes a trend, it will only be overnight! ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened slightly, and then said: "If I transfer Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to you, and gather your total number of soldiers and horses of 60,000, how long will it take to destroy Dong Zhuo?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and said, "Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were transferred to me?" What does Da Sima mean? ”

Liu Yu put down his hand and said in a deep voice: "Xuzhou is no longer contestable, I mean that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses will hide from Yanzhou, meet you in Yingchuan County, join 60,000 troops, and attack Xiangxian all the way!" ”

Cao Cao's face was stunned, but his heart was shocked.

This Liu Yu has such a big plan and great courage!

actually want to abandon Xuzhou and fight Dong Zhuo in Yuzhou!

This kind of plan, the imperial court will definitely not agree!

Was it Liu Yu's private idea?

Cao Cao's face continued to be stunned, and his heart was full of thoughts.

Liu Yu's plan is simple and direct, it seems ambitious, but in fact it is almost impossible, and once it is frustrated, not only will Xuzhou be completely discarded, but the speed of the imperial court will be unprecedentedly fast!

At that time, Cao Cao and Liu Yu, the ironclad Yi three clans!

At this moment, Guo Jia and Xiahou Yuan were outside the side door, and when they heard Liu Yu's plan, they were also secretly shocked.

When Guo Jia listened to the silence inside, he whispered a few words in Xiahou Yuan's ear.

Xiahou Yuan understood and quietly left quickly.

In the front hall, Liu Yu also knew that his plan was bold, and seeing Cao Cao's contemplation, he picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely.

"General,"

Suddenly, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly broke in and said loudly: "The news from Yingchuan ......"

He seemed to have just seen Liu Yu, stunned, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The last general, Xiahou Yuan, see Da Sima!" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Cao Cao and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiahou Yuan hesitated and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sat up straight and scolded unhappily: "Da Sima, you dare to refuse to answer!" ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "Back to Da Sima, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan have fought. ”

Liu Yu knew before Cao Cao, frowned when he heard this, got up and said, "Meng De, the old man has to enter the palace, you think clearly, give the old man the truth before leaving." ”

Cao Cao took the crutch, got up with some difficulty, and said, "Xiaguan will send Liu Gong." ”

Liu Yu strode away and left directly.

Cao Cao was at the door, watching Liu Yu leave the house, his long and narrow eyes flickering slightly, with a hint of suspicion and strangeness.

Guo Jia came behind him, drank wine, and said, "This big Sima is really bold, what came out of Zhang Gong may not be a rumor. ”

Cao Cao was a little depressed in his heart, and said, "Troublesome." ”

It's just a bit of a hassle.

"General, you have to leave Luoyang as soon as possible." Guo Jiadao.

Cao Cao understood and said: "Well, you can't stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time, before leaving, I will visit the prime minister and others." ”

Liu Yu's sudden arrival made Guo Jia and Cao Cao feel that this Luoyang City was in danger and uneasy.

Liu Yu got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

After walking for a while, Yan Rou, who was driving, turned around and said in a low voice, "Gong Liu, how is it?" ”

Liu Yu in the carriage touched his beard, looked obscure, and said, "I didn't find anything." Cao Cao pretended to be restrained in the front, and said a few nonsense words in the back. ”

"The more Cao Cao hides it, the more it shows that he has a ghost in his heart, Liu Gong, and he has to guard against him." Yan Judo.

Liu Yu thought about it and said: "Most of his soldiers and horses in Yingchuan are from the camp of the forbidden army, and I can know every move clearly, and I must curb his private recruitment of troops and recruit soldiers." ”

Yan Rou drove the carriage, deliberately slowed down, turned his head, and said in a low voice: "Liu Gong, I heard that Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi, is very close to His Second Highness. ”

Liu Yu subconsciously frowned, remembering that day in the palace, Liu Wei was nervous about the second highness.

The government and the opposition know that His Majesty now favors His Royal Highness and often takes him with him, and even His Royal Highness can freely enter and leave the Chongde Palace, and he can stay overnight.

This kind of treatment, His Royal Highness Liu Shao doesn't have it!

"Don't talk nonsense!"

After a moment, Liu Yu said in a low voice.

Yan Rou hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xiaguan understands. ”

Liu Yu let out a sullen breath and said, "Then has Liu Bei entered Beijing?" ”

Yan Rou said: "Not yet, but recently, it has been rumored everywhere in Luoyang City that Liu Bei is a member of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan." ”

Liu Yu is the real Han clan relative, and I don't know how many people are pretending to be Han clan relatives all over the world, Liu Yu frowned, dissatisfied, and said: "When he enters Luoyang, let him come to see me first." ”

"Yes." Yan Rou responded.

Liu Yu glanced out the window, and there were many worries in his heart, and suddenly said, "What else is the news?" ”

Yan Rou thought for a while and said, "The news of the change of the yuan next year has already spread, and some people have written books and asked to move the capital. ”

Liu Yu was stunned and said, "Move the capital, where to move?" ”

"There are many, and the most is Chang'an." Yan Judo.

"Nonsense!"

Liu Yu reprimanded unceremoniously and said, "You send a message to my people and ask them to write against it." ”

Seeing that the palace was already in sight, Yan Rou turned around and said in a low voice: "Gong Liu, I heard that there are people over there in Shangshutai who agree. ”

Liu Yu's expression became colder and colder, and he said, "I don't know what to say!" ”

'Moving the capital' involves too much, since ancient times, there is no big thing, and it is extremely difficult to move the capital, unless the emperor has enough reason to be bold, it is difficult to make the trip.

And the reason why Luoyang City set off the discussion of 'moving the capital' is that Dong Zhuo passed the Kou Pass not long ago, which caused Luoyang City to be revitalized.

Yuyuan Pass is one of the eight passes of Gongwei Luoyang, once Yuyuan Pass is forced, the thieves can drive straight into Luoyang and pounce on Luoyang.

Yan Rou waited for a while, and when she saw that Liu Yu didn't speak again, she drove the carriage into the palace.

Liu Wei in the palace is also under great pressure at this time.

There was a pile of notebooks in front of him, which was related to the taxation of the imperial court.

This year's summer grain has decreased again, while the salt tax has peaked, and there is also a tendency to decline, and other incomes are also weak.

The 'New Deal', which has been implemented for many years, has reached the deep-water area visible to the naked eye, and it has reached the most difficult and critical moment.

Liu Wei read it unhurriedly, carefully calculated it in his heart, and said softly to himself: "I don't have time to wait......

He needs time too much.

But the Han Dynasty was already in tatters, and the northern states that he tried so hard to stabilize were now also in danger and encountered unprecedented challenges.

Liu Wei turned his head and looked at the map hanging on the wall not far away.

In each state, there must be many conspicuous names, and he personally wrote them: Sanqiang, Liu Yan, Shixie, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei......

For a long time, he looked down at the desk, and on the blank notebook, there was a string of dense numbers, and at the end, there was a piercing line: deficit of 200,000, advance expenditure of 100,000, debt of 400,000.

700,000, equivalent to the tax of ten years in the Han Dynasty during the Zhongping period!
