The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao nodded and said: "So it turns out, even the emperor is afraid of Liu Rui. Since the emperor ordered me to go to Jizhou, then I should accept the imperial edict. If Liu Rui does anything rashly, I will immediately fight against Liu Rui. However, you also Knowing that Liu Rui had just destroyed Yuan Shao and his strength was growing rapidly, I might be hard to match with my soldiers alone. Since Master Dong wants to form an alliance, he should also send troops and horses to support me. what."

"Of course, of course!!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Liu Rui is our common enemy now. To deal with him, of course, Master Cao cannot be sent alone. As soon as the war begins, our lord promises to send troops to help."

"Okay, then let's sign a covenant now."

Cao Cao watched Jia Xu go away with the covenant with satisfaction, and with a smile on his face, asked the soldiers to send Jia Xu out.After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao's expression changed and he snorted coldly.

Xi Zhicai stepped forward at this time and asked, "My lord, you signed a covenant with Jia Xu so easily. Do you think Dong Zhuo's words can be trusted?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Of course I can't believe it. I don't believe what Dong Zhuo's old man said. Signing a covenant with him at this time is just to stabilize him. No matter what Liu Rui does next, we should first Stabilize Dong Zhuo. If he can help Liu Rui and I go to war without blocking, or even send troops to help, that would be the best."

"Zhicai." Cao Cao said: "Order the spies to go to Dong Zhuo and Liu Rui to inquire about the news. If there is any news, let them report immediately. Go on and get ready. We will send troops to Jizhou in the next few days."

On the other side, Liu Rui's office.

Liu Rui heard someone reporting that there was an imperial edict coming, and he hurriedly walked out of the inner hall to meet the imperial edict.

The eunuch who read the imperial decree displayed the imperial decree and read out: "Fengtian, the emperor's edict said, recently, I have repeatedly heard the courtiers come to report, saying that the emperor's uncle acted rashly, and actually killed Mr. Yuan and also killed the prefect of Zhang. , I am very worried, how can the uncle, as a loyal royal minister, take action against my Han courtiers, I need the uncle to give an explanation, and now I order you to come and see me alone. I also feel the loyalty of Mr. Cao , has appointed him as Jizhou Shepherd, I hope you will work together well in the future, do your best for my big man, and admire this."

"My minister Liu Rui received the edict!" Liu Rui took the edict, stood up, and ordered his subordinates to arrange for the eunuch who announced the edict to stay and live in the city of Jizhou.

With a sullen face, Liu Rui said to everyone in his subordinates: "How could the emperor suddenly issue such an imperial decree, it must be someone in the court to provoke. The emperor made Cao Cao the minister of Jizhou and asked me to meet him alone, I am afraid it is not that simple. If I leave Jizhou and let Cao Cao come here to be the state shepherd, I am afraid he will definitely take the opportunity to take Yizhou. Moreover, the emperor asked me to see it alone. If the provocateurs ambushed strong soldiers on the road, why would I go? Can't you come back?"

Liu Rui looked directly at Guo Jia, who was recovering from a serious illness.Not long after taking Yecheng, Guo Jia's cold was cured, so this time, when all the generals were called, Guo Jia naturally came.

Guo Jia stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "The one who can slander you and the emperor in court must be the villain Dong Zhuo. The reason he did this was simply to provoke you and Cao Cao to fight, so that he could learn from it. profit."

Liu Rui said, "Do you rely on the Son of Heaven to make the princes? Hmph, after I have dealt with the current affairs, I will definitely ask Dong Zhuo to settle the account."

Liu Rui looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Guo Jiadao: "Qi lord, I have three strategies, upper, middle and lower. I don't know which one are you willing to adopt?"

"Oh" Liu Rui was pleasantly surprised: "What are the three strategies, please tell me quickly."

Guo Jia said: "The next policy is for the lord to stand on his own, disobey the emperor's edict, and fight Cao Cao. The middle policy, accepting the emperor's order, said that he would go to the palace to plead guilty, but he delayed and negotiated peace with Cao Cao at the same time. The best policy was to collude with Cao Cao and fight Cao Cao. Fight a fake battle, then split with Cao Cao and attack Dong Zhuo at the same time! After Dong Zhuo is resolved, go to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor. Anyway, it is Dong Zhuo's idea to punish him. When you destroy Dong Zhuo, the emperor will not dare to blame you. ."

Liu Rui said with a smile: "It sounds like this, of course, it is better for me to choose the best strategy."

"But?" Liu Rui continued: "Since you want to cooperate with Cao Cao, you must have a lobbyist, go and explain the situation to him. Guo Jia, are you willing to secretly go to Cao Cao on my behalf and explain our cooperation to him. intention."

"Guo Jia will definitely live up to his mission." Guo Jia handed over and said seriously.

Liu Rui nodded and said, "Okay, then you'll have to work hard. You must be secretive, and don't let Dong Zhuo's people discover our cooperation with Cao Cao."

"Yes! Guo Jia must be careful not to miss anything."

Guo Jia took Liu Rui's letter, drove a dilapidated carriage with a few guards, and went to Cao Cao's place.After walking for a few days, I finally arrived outside Qingzhou City. , , .

281: join forces

Cao Cao was reading a book when he suddenly heard his subordinates coming, reporting that he had brought someone to see him.

Cao Cao was secretly suspicious and said, "Who could it be? Did Zhicai say who he is?"

"No, he didn't say anything, only said that he had something important to ask to see you."

"Okay, you call them in."

Soon, Miaocai brought Guo Jia in. At this time, Guo Jia was wearing a cloak, covering the whole person.When Cao Cao saw this attire, he was a little suspicious and took a few steps back. The guard behind him stepped forward, blocked in front of Cao Cao, drew his sword, and stared at Guo Jia closely.

Guo Jia suddenly laughed and said, "Master Cao, is this how you treat your guests? I'm here to discuss important matters with you."

Cao Cao shouted: "Who are you, don't be pretentious, tell me if you have anything!!"

Guo Jia took off the hat on his head and said to Cao Cao, "Lord Cao, under Guo Jia, whose name is Fengxiao, is here under the order of my master Liu Rui to discuss cooperation with Mr. Cao!"

"Cooperation?" Cao Cao was very interested and said, "What kind of cooperation?"

Guo Jiadao: "Dong Zhuo confuses the Lord and instigated us to go to war with Lord Cao, so Feng Xiao came here, hoping to form an alliance with Lord Cao and turn against Dong Zhuo!"

"If Mr. Guo wants to talk about this, I'm sorry, you're late. Jia Xu has already come a few days ago, he has already talked with me about the cooperation, and I have promised him. You No need to say any more, please come back." After speaking, Cao Cao was about to turn around and enter the inner hall.

Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Sir Cao wait a minute."

When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he stopped and said, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, please ask."

Guo Jia said lightly: "I don't believe that Master Cao cooperated with Dong Zhuo sincerely. I don't need to say who Dong Zhuo is. Everyone knows each other well. Wouldn't Master Cao cooperate with him to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. Compared with cooperating with the unbelievable villain, I think Mr. Cao should be more willing to cooperate with us."

"Oh? You are quite confident." Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I'm just expressing the thoughts in Master Cao's mind. Dong Zhuo's order from the emperor to let you be the shepherd of Jizhou clearly wants us to conflict. Once we fight, the strength of both sides will inevitably be equal. Greatly weakened, then Dong Zhuo can take advantage of the fisherman!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I have considered this for a long time. We have made a covenant. If we send troops to attack you, he will definitely send troops to help."

Guo Jiadao: "Master Cao, do you believe that Dong Zhuo will abide by the covenant? Once the war really starts, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will send troops not to help you attack us, but to attack you from the rear. To cooperate with him is simply to seek skin, and it is impossible to ask for it. Good. Not as good as our lord, our lord is upright and upright, keeps his word, and never breaks his promise to promise others!"

Cao Cao seemed to think for a moment before he said, "Even if what you said makes sense, but if you want to talk about cooperation, you need to ask Liu Rui to come in person to appear sincere."

Guo Jiadao: "Of course, since we want to discuss cooperation with Mr. Cao, our lord will definitely come to discuss the details with you."

"Okay!" Cao Cao said, "I believe Liu Rui is a trustworthy person, no less than Dong Zhuo, who is a capricious, insidious and cunning villain. I would rather choose to cooperate with you. You go back and report to Liu Rui and ask him to make an appointment. Time, let's talk about the cooperation content."

"Okay, then Guo Jia will go back and report to our lord." Guo Jia smiled slightly, turned and left.

"Zhicai, as you said, Liu Rui can't sit still!" After Guo Jia left, Cao Cao suddenly laughed.

"Dong Zhuo asked us to fight against Liu Rui by the order of the Son of Heaven. Liu Rui will definitely think about countermeasures, and the best strategy is to cooperate with us and deal with Dong Zhuo together!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
