The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 199 I want Fengyi to rule Xuzhou

Hearing this, Cao Cao pretended to be grateful, but his heart did not fluctuate too much.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help Cao Cao up.

Then he continued to ask questions.

"I don't know if you are here, what can I do?"

When Liu Xie's voice fell, Cao Cao beside him couldn't help but smiled.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei Xi is going to Xuzhou this time, and I would like to invite Your Majesty, Taiwei Xu and the supervisor of Xuzhou, to serve as Xuzhou Shepherd!"

Cao Cao spoke without the slightest hesitation, and directly confided his thoughts.

His guilt towards Xi Yu.

Now, there is only so much that can be done!
Hearing this, Liu Xie was a little surprised.

I never thought that Cao Cao dared to come here to find him at this time, but what he did was just to help Xi Yu play the matter of hiring Xuzhou Mu.

In the final analysis, this matter is just an edict.

Not really a big deal.

What's more, the power of the Han court is actually nothing now.

In various states and counties, officials are appointed and dismissed by themselves, and there are many things that they serve as state shepherds and prefects by themselves.

However, Cao Cao deliberately asked about his own affairs this time, which somehow made Liu Xie feel a little better.

After all, with such an order, even if Cao Cao did not go through himself, there would be no problem at all if he issued it directly.

Now that Cao Cao can take the initiative to ask himself, that is a respect.

A meaning to put yourself, the emperor, in your eyes.

Liu Xie was in a good mood, and naturally there was no reason to refuse such a request.

Of course, he couldn't refuse.

Cao Cao was able to say such words, but the meaning in his heart was already clear.

"So, just follow what you said!"

Liu Xie nodded yes.

Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Cao Cao couldn't help but chuckled inwardly.

After returning to Xuchang this time, Cao Cao was quite concerned when he learned that Liu Xie was almost taken out of Xuchang by Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others.

He knew in his heart that if Liu Xie was unwilling, people like Dong Cheng and Yang Biao would not be able to force Liu Xie out of the palace.

The root cause of such a disturbance in Xuchang is Liu Xie himself.

The reason why he didn't make the decision without authorization this time, but came to ask Liu Xie, Cao Cao wanted to use this to see if the other party had too much resentment towards him.

Now it seems that there may be some resentment, but it is not a serious problem for the time being.

After understanding it in his heart, Cao Cao didn't say much.

It's not too late to talk about the rest at the court meeting tomorrow.

……

After talking about Xi Yu, Cao Cao talked with Liu Xie for a while, and they also had a good chat with each other.

After leaving the Han Palace, Cao Cao slowly took Xu Chu back to the Sikong Mansion.

This skill is in Cao Cao's heart.

Apart from Xi Yu's matter, the most important thing now is to discuss how to attack Yuan Shu.

Since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor until now, apart from the papers he issued at the beginning to ask for thieves, the response among states and counties in various places has been mediocre.

Among the scholars, there was quite a bit of righteous indignation towards Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor.

But, after all, the impact on Yuan Shu was minimal.

Now it is not a simple matter to call on the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu in the name of the Son of Heaven.

These people, on the surface, may obey the name of the imperial court.

However, secretly no one was willing to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, Cao Cao knew it clearly.

Come to think of it, all the princes of the world can see now is the one-third of an acre of land in their hands.

Thinking this way, Cao Cao took two steps forward and instead of going to the Sikong Mansion, he took Xu Chu to the Xuchang Government Office.

He ordered Xu Chu to summon all the generals to come to the government office to discuss matters together.

……

Within the Xuchang Government Office.

When Xun Yu and others arrived at the Yamen Office, it was now until Xu time.

Above the sky, it was already night, and a full moon hung high.

In the government office at that time, Cao Cao asked someone to light a row of lanterns, and when Xun Yu and the others arrived, they saw Cao Cao sitting on the head of the government office.

"Brother!"

At this time, after everyone arrived, Cao Cao didn't speak. Cao Hong and others beside him thought that the anger in Cao Cao's heart had dissipated.

At this time, someone couldn't help but shouted.

Hearing this, Cao Cao glanced at the other party and didn't bother to pay attention.

He glanced at Xun Yu and Xun You.

"Wen Ruo, Gong Da, I want to invite Your Majesty to attack Yuan Shu at the court meeting tomorrow, what do you think?"

Cao Cao asked casually.

Xun You who heard this said nothing, but Xun You who was beside him nodded.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in rebellion. Cao Cao hadn't returned before, but now that he has returned, it is natural to show something.

Nowadays, conquering the opponent is naturally a matter of course.

He expressed his approval, and at this moment Cao Cao spoke again.

"By the way, I want to show your majesty that I will be the supervisor of Xuzhou and serve as the shepherd of Xuzhou!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu who was beside him raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao involuntarily.

Hearing what Cao Cao said, he realized that Cao Cao must have read the letter Xi Yu left for the other party.

Looking at the current situation, Cao Cao doesn't seem to have changed much about Xi Yu's departure.

So, it's okay.

In Xun Yu's view, it was just right for Xi Yu to supervise Xuzhou.

"Brother!"

It seemed that they were somewhat dissatisfied when they heard that Xi Yu was asked to lead Xuzhou as Xuzhou Mu, Cao Hong and the others.

He joked about who Fengyi was.

Even if you want someone to supervise Xuzhou, it should be selected from within your own clan!
What is it like to choose an outsider!
The members of the Cao clan had some opinions after hearing Cao Cao's words.

It's just that Cao Hong just shouted out, before he could say anything in the future, Cao Cao's eyes turned around in an instant.

"What are you going to say?"

"Tell me why you let Fengyi be Xuzhou Mu!"

"Why, let one of you do it?"

Cao Cao sneered, wishing he could throw Xi Yu's letter in these guys' faces.

"With your ability, can you defend Xuzhou and deal with those Xuzhou people?"

"I haven't settled accounts with you for what you have done before!"

"Since you are all here today, that's good, save trouble!"

"Go back and tell those people, if I am not in Xuchang, when the chaos happened, all the people in the Cao family clan in Xuchang will be dismissed, and let them go back and think about it behind closed doors!"

"When will you reflect on yourself, when will you understand, come to me again!"

The resentment in his heart burst out in one breath, Cao Cao just handed Xi Yu's letter to Xun Yu who was beside him.

"Wen Ruo, this is the letter that Xi Yu left me earlier, take a look, I want to announce it to the world, what do you think!"

???

Taking the letter from Cao Cao casually, Xun Yu was a little dazed!
He didn't know what it was about, but when he heard what Cao Cao said, he realized something.

Cao Cao's actions must be to win back Xi Yu's heart.

This is not impossible.

He was not in a hurry to watch, but just nodded and responded.

"Minggong is like this, Yu knows!"

After putting the letter in the sleeve robe, Xun Yu couldn't help but looked up at Cao Cao.

After talking about Xi Yu, what I should talk about now is how to crusade against Yuan Shu, and how to deal with the princes of the world.

Now, Cao Cao has just brought back an army of 20, and it still needs to be repaired.

In addition, now that winter is about to enter, it is not suitable to raise troops in a hurry.

And the matter of Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor is naturally impossible to shelve.

In addition, the reactions of the princes of the world are not the same.

"Duke Ming, at this moment, you can order the emperor to call on the princes of the world to join forces to attack Yuan Shu!"

Xun Yu spoke.

Hearing this, Cao Cao on the side nodded.

"I know it in my heart, but it may not be easy to expect the princes of the world to send troops to attack Yuan Shu at this time!"

Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief.

Now, he is the only one who will take the initiative to attack Yuan Shu and must attack Yuan Shu.

The rest of the princes, even if they obey the imperial edict in name, would push back and procrastinate if they thought about it.

It is impossible to count on those princes.

And if he continues to lead troops to attack Yuan Shu this time, Cao Cao will worry about instability in the Guanzhong area.

Originally, this westward advance was intended to completely control and calm the entire Guanzhong region in one fell swoop.

But, who would have thought that at this moment, Yuan Shu would actually make such a move as proclaiming himself emperor.

It really surprised Cao Cao.

In desperation, he could only put aside the road to the west for the time being, and chose to return to the army before attacking Yuan Shu.

"What Duke Ming is worried about is nothing more than chaos in Guanzhong!"

"It's easy!"

Seeing Cao Cao frowning at this effort, Xun You, who was beside Xun Yu, seemed to understand something in an instant.

At this time, he did not hesitate at all.

Originally, Xun You followed Cao Cao to plan to wipe out the entire Guanzhong and Sili areas in one fell swoop.

However, the world is impermanent, and Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor disrupted their westward strategy.

However, the issue of Guanzhong and Sili.

In fact, in Xun You's opinion, it was not too much trouble.

Now, the most powerful army in the entire Guanzhong area is Li Jue's army, and it is not difficult to solve Li Jue.

Except for Li Jue, the rest of the entire Guanzhong and Sili areas are some rogue bandits who are making trouble everywhere.

Just send a general to settle the matter.

It's not difficult to say.

Hearing Xun You speak, Cao Cao raised his eyes in an instant. After his eyes fell on Xun You, Cao Cao couldn't help but followed suit.

"Gongda already has a good plan in mind?"

"Let's talk quickly and listen!"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was a little excited.

Hearing this, Xun You didn't hesitate at all, and directly opened his mouth to explain.

"Duke Ming has already sent his servant Pei Mao to enter Guanzhong, but this time, he can send an edict to win over the generals in Guanzhong and attack Li Jue together!"

"Furthermore, Zhong Yao of the Zhong family in Yingchuan is quite talented. I heard that he didn't do much during the Xuchang mutiny!"

"Duke Ming can also send him to Guanzhong by the way, stationed in Chang'an, and supervise all the troops in Guanzhong. In the Guanzhong and Sili areas, there is nothing to worry about!"

Xun You opened his mouth and directly came up with the method of targeting Guanzhong and Sili areas.

After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes brightened.

He almost forgot about the visitor Pei Mao who was dispatched before. Originally, he planned to let him cooperate in the westward march this time, and then pacify the entire Guanzhong and Sili areas. ,

Now that it is impossible to go west, Xun You's idea is just right.

As for Zhong Yao, at the time of the Xuchang mutiny, although he apparently indulged the emperor to leave the palace, he was compared with Yang Biao and Dong Cheng.

Zhong Yao is more aware of current affairs.

This time Xun You mentioned the move of dispatching this person to Guanzhong, which is not bad.

First, the whole of Xuchang can be completely cleaned up, and later, it can also solve the troubles in Guanzhong and other places.

It could not be better.

Cao Cao nodded: "Gongda's words are correct. I will present to His Majesty at the court meeting tomorrow. This is the arrangement!"

After solving the problems in Guanzhong and other places, what is left now is when to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

At this time, Cao Cao was thinking about what to do!

Xun Yu, who was nearby, saw that his nephew had already come up with a strategy for Guanzhong and other places, so he thought of someone at this moment.

"Duke Ming, I forgot about Sun Ce who has a good reputation these days!"

Some time ago, Sun Ce told the world directly that he and Yuan Shu broke up.

But now, most of Yuan Shu's territory was conquered by Sun Ce after all.

If Sun Ce could take the initiative to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, then things would be easier.

When Xun Yu mentioned Sun Ce, Cao Cao couldn't help but looked up at Xun Yu.

Sun Ce?

Thinking of this guy, Cao Cao frowned involuntarily.

"Wen Ruo, what do you mean by that?"

Cao Cao guessed something in his heart, but seeing that Xun Yu hadn't finished speaking, he planned to listen to the other party before reading.

Xun Yu followed and opened his mouth.

"Duke Ming, since Sun Ce has already told the world that he and Yuan Shu have broken up, his team-mate Han court still respects him a lot!"

"It will take some time for our army to go out this time, so we might as well use the emperor's edict to send Sun Ce to attack Yuan Shu first!"

"If you think about it, then Sun Ce will not refuse!"

When Xun Yu opened his mouth, Cao Cao understood immediately.

Just because Sun Ce was dissatisfied with the edict given to him by the imperial court before, it can be seen that this person's ambition is not small.

Before, there was a friendship between him and Yuan Shu no matter what.

Even if Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce never directly sent troops to attack the opponent, and he still had some scruples after all.

However, if he used the emperor's edict, the ambitious Sun Ce would definitely not refuse in his heart.

Xun Yu's words reached Cao Cao's heart.

It will take some time for the army to go out, so let Sun Ce attack Yuan Shu first, so as to test Sun Ce's proficiency.

On the other hand, it can also relieve the pressure on Xuzhou.

If Sun Ce attacked Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shu naturally would not have time to send an army to attack Xuzhou.

So, it couldn't be better!

At this time, Cao Cao was in a very good mood because of the advice from the uncle and nephew of the Xun family.

It's just that, compared to Cao Cao's mood, the generals of the Cao family's clan are in worse moods at this time.

For Cao Hong and others, they don't know what Cao Cao thinks.

Obviously, Feng Yi had already dragged his family and left Xuchang in that drama, and this move was obviously a rebellion.

At this time, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack and denounce the opponent, but also pretended that the opponent was Xuzhou Mu, which was simply unbelievable.

It's just that Cao Hong and others are more or less aware of Cao Cao's temperament.

Even if they were dissatisfied, at this time, since they were not in a hurry to express their opinions.

After all, the crowd is still afraid of Cao Cao.

At this time, opening your mouth is tantamount to scolding.

That night!

After discussing about everything, everyone in the government office dispersed!

After coming out of the government office, Xun Yu, who returned to Xun's house, lit a candle in the dark after returning to the mansion.

Only then did he produce the letter from Xi Yu that Cao Cao handed over to him.

After opening the letter, Xun Yu was a little dazed when he entered the table.

After reading the content, the corners of Xun Yu's mouth could not help but curl up.

He sort of understood why Cao Cao made such a move, and why he declared Xi Yu as Xuzhou herdsman.

And this letter from Xi Yu made Xun Yu feel a lot easier.

Now it seems that the relationship between Cao Cao and Xi Yu has not changed yet.

This is the best thing for Xun Yu.

Now both, one is in Xuchang and the other is in Xuzhou.

It's a good thing to be far away.

Cao Cao intends to ease the relationship between the two this time, and Xuzhou Mu has already stated everything.

And the letter left by Xi Yu just explained everything.

After collecting the letter, Xun Yu was somewhat relieved.

As long as there are no problems between the two, it will not be difficult for the world to settle down.

The rest is a matter of time.

……

The next day!

Han Palace court meeting.

Cao Cao, just like what he had negotiated last night, once he opened his mouth, he directly declared Xiyu as Xuzhou Mu in the court.

And without Yang Biao and others, the current Xuchang court is full of Cao Cao's people.

The entire court has basically become a one-word hall.

After Cao Cao spoke, although some people didn't know what was going on, everyone followed suit.

At the same time, Liu Xie did not have the slightest opinion on this.

In addition to playing Xiyu as Xuzhou Mu, Cao Cao asked the emperor for an edict, ordering the servants to shoot Pei Mao, and lead the generals in Guanzhong to crusade against Li Jue.

Then he made another sound and sent Zhong Yao to Guanzhong to station in Chang'an to assist Pei Mao and guard against Xiliang, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

During the entire court meeting, Liu Xie was nodding his head almost all the time, and the rest was Cao Cao who kept asking for edicts.

It didn't take long.

By the time the Zhichaohui came to an end, there was almost a plan to deal with what Cao Cao discussed last night.

……

At the same time, Xuzhou Xiapi.

In the government office at that time, Xi Yu had just received the news that Cao Cao had returned to Xuchang.

In this regard, Xi Yu didn't have too many thoughts in his mind.

Thinking about it, the other party must have seen the letter he left to Cao Cao.

What should be said has been said, and the rest depends on how Lao Cao thinks.
