Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #121 - Chapter 121
Not to mention the thoughts of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, wondering whether Master Cao Ang had sent a letter and was about to send another mission to survive…
Cao Cao, who was at the head of the tent, had already stood up. To be precise, he stood up. The short and stocky body of less than six feet quickly took the Qianli Falcon from Dian Wei’s hand.
After throwing a piece of meat on the table into the Qianli Falcon’s mouth to reward the precious falcon, he took out the letter and read it.
After reading it, Cao Cao’s face was also extremely wonderful. He looked at the civil and military personnel on the left and right, shook his head and smiled bitterly:”It is said that a son is better than his father. The idea of zixiu is really elusive to me, a father, sometimes. Impenetrable……”
With that said, Cao Cao told everyone the news in Cao Ang’s letter in detail.
Including leading Guan Yu to lead 40,000 troops back to Xudu, and letting Liu Bei lead 30,000 troops to go north to coordinate Gongsun Zan’s affairs.
However, Cao Cao only told half of the news in the letter so far, deliberately leaving it behind to see what everyone in the audience thought.
Sure enough, after learning these two pieces of news, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the tent also became”six or eighty” exciting, each with his or her own color.
Xia Houyuan was the first to stand up and said with a worried look on his face:”My lord, Liu Bei was once a prince and had always been ambitious. He came to Xudu because he was chased by Lu Bu and was driven to the end.
Although Liu Bei has been fighting with the prince recently. , but after all, he is just a guest general, and he may not be loyal to the lord and the young master!
Now, Liu Bei is allowed to lead 30,000 troops and horses. If Liu Bei has other intentions, will he lose 30,000 troops and horses in vain?”
Speaking of this, Xia Houyuan couldn’t help but sigh with pity:”Although the young master is like a god in using soldiers, he is sometimes too benevolent and righteous and trusts Liu Bei too much.……”
On the side, Yu Jin also stood up and said:”General Xiahou is right! From what I see, Liu Bei will never be willing to be subordinate to others!
Before, it was just that he didn’t have soldiers and horses, and there were no opportunities. Now the young master has ordered him to lead an army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. We have crossed the river to Hebei again and are not under our control.
I’m afraid Liu Bei may have different intentions!
He may kidnap 30,000 troops and surrender to Yuan Shao!”
After Yu Jin said this, Xu Huang and the other generals of Cao’s army also agreed. , feel pity.
Some even advised Cao Cao to write back to Cao Ang and send people to chase Liu Bei’s troops back…
Some people said that even if they sent people to chase Liu Bei now, it would be too late…
After the generals expressed their opinions, Cao Cao immediately He smiled and said:”As the generals said, and Zixiu also wrote the second half of the letter, Liu Bei indeed has different intentions. At this moment, he has kidnapped 30,000 soldiers and horses and defected to Yuan Shao.”
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xia Houyuan immediately responded. Oops, he sighed and said:”What a pity for those 30,000 soldiers and horses!
After all, the young master is inexperienced in the world, has a benevolent heart, and does not know Liu Bei’s background, so he was deceived by him!
If there is one of us waiting for the young master, I will definitely be wrong. Will I ask you to let Liu Bei go?……”
Yu Jin and other generals also looked heavy and felt it was a pity.
For a moment, these generals were immersed in the regret that Cao Jun had lost 30,000 troops.
I didn’t notice it, but there was no regret on the face of the lord Cao Cao, and he was even smiling.……
“Fengxiao, Zhongde, Gongda, Wenhe, all the generals said it was a pity, why did you and other counselors say nothing?”
Cao Cao had a mysterious smile on his lips. He ignored the sighs of the generals for the time being, but looked at the counselors such as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu.
Logically speaking, the counselors’ vision would be better than that of the military generals. It is more long-term.
The generals all know that Liu Bei is not willing to do anything for others. There is no reason why Guo Jia and others did not express their opinion.
It is also because of Cao Cao. I saw it, so I asked the question knowingly, and wanted to use Guo Jia and others to tell the truth to the generals, and show off their talents as a grown man…
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others have been following Cao Cao for a long time, so they naturally know this man. The Lord wanted it.
So Cheng Yu cooperated with Cao Cao and said with a smile:”Although the Lord pursues benevolence and righteousness in his actions, he is not a pedantic person.
With the young master’s intelligence, it is impossible not to know Liu Bei’s true nature, let alone not to take precautions.
The reason why Liu Bei was allowed to lead an army northward alone must have been planned, and he was even confident that he could recall those 30,000 troops at any time.
So, I won’t worry about it.”
When Cheng Yu said this, he looked at Xun You and did not steal all the limelight.
Xun You understood, stroked his beard and continued Cheng Yu’s words:”Furthermore, in addition to letting Liu Bei lead an army northward, the young master also ordered Liu Bei to go north. His younger brother Guan Yu led his army back to aid Xu Du.
In this way, in the name of protecting the emperor, Guan Yu and Liu Bei were separated and Liu Bei’s arm was cut off.
Many years ago, Guan Yu’s bravery in warming wine and killing Hua Xiong outside Hulao Pass was known to the world.
Moreover, Guan Yu has always acted with loyalty and righteousness, and even his lord has tried to recruit him.
Since Guan Yu is the guardian of the emperor, he will definitely trust him and do his best. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Even if he knew that Liu Bei had defected to Yuan Shao, he would not go to Liu Bei until the general order was completed.
From this point alone, we can know that the young master deliberately kept Guan Yu to guard against Liu Bei.”
After Xun You finished speaking, he made way for Jia Xu beside him.
Jia Xu originally lay down in his seat and didn’t want to speak. Seeing that Xun You gave him the opportunity to express himself, he could only start working, so Jia Xu said:”Other than that , I’m afraid the young master has some deep intentions!
Liu Bei was unwilling to be subordinated, and he was attached to the Xudu court and could not escape.
Now that the war is underway, we may not find opportunities to secretly collude with Yuan Shao, which is a hidden danger in our army.
And if Liu Bei is eliminated, it will be inconsistent with the son’s benevolence and righteousness, and it will bring the lord and his son into the bad reputation of killing virtuous people……….
Therefore, the young master used retreat as an advance and used these 30,000 soldiers and horses as bait to create an opportunity for Liu Bei to take the initiative to rebel and kidnap his soldiers and horses to surrender to Yuan Shao.
In this way, you are betraying the imperial court and committing rebellion!”
When Jia Xu said this, he stopped abruptly and did not continue.
He looked at Guo Jia and motioned for Guo Jia to finish.
Guo Jia then smiled and said:”And if the young master only���If Liu Bei were to take the initiative to rebel, there would actually be no need to give up 30,000 troops as bait. Thousands or 10,000 troops would be enough.
The reason why Liu Bei was allowed to take away so many soldiers and horses was that, firstly, the young master was confident that he could control this army at any time, and secondly, the young master might take this as an opportunity to plant a nail in Yuan Shao’s army and strike back at the critical moment. , can achieve twice the result with half the effort!
And when that time comes, Yuan Shao will inevitably vent his anger on Liu Bei and get rid of him.
In this way, not only can he kill someone with a borrowed sword, he will not bear the reputation of killing a wise man, but he can also defeat Yuan Shao’s army and win by surprise!”[]
Cheng Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia are indeed the top counselors in the world, and Cao Ying is the absolute brain trust.
Although during this period of time these big conspirators have not had the chance to make any plans or work.
But at this moment, there was a series of analysis, and Cao Ang’s intentions and strategies were analyzed to a close.
After listening to the analysis of these counselors, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin and other generals who were still sighing were immediately dumbfounded!
It turns out that it’s not the young master who is too naive because he is new to the world, but it’s us who are naive?
The young master actually planned everything from the very beginning!
Not only did he plant a nail next to Yuan Shao, but he also kicked out Liu Bei, a hidden danger, without leaving a trace. Do you want to use Yuan Shao’s help to get rid of Liu Bei?
This 2.2 is like killing three birds with one stone. What kind of brain does it take to come up with such an interlocking and seamless plan?
At this moment, Xia Houyuan, who originally thought he was quite knowledgeable in the art of war, felt that he was still too naive and young…
In front of Young Master Cao Ang, their brains were simply not enough…
Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin and the others couldn’t help but feel… They looked at each other with a wry smile, and joked:”With the young master here, I don’t have to worry about the formation of the troops or how to use them.
I just need to listen to the young master’s orders to fight and charge, and be a soldier.” Enough with thugs……”
The jokes of the military generals fell on the ears of Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, causing several counselors to shake their heads and laugh bitterly:”At least you generals can still charge into the battle and fight on the battlefield. However, our counselors are useless..
The young master is as wise as a god and has tried everything to steal the jobs of our counselors, leaving us no chance to show off.
If this continues, I am afraid that we will really be punished because of our white-collar salary. The lord resigned……”
