Late at night, Cao Cao was wearing a somewhat worn single dress, barefoot, paced back and forth in the tent. His steps were not big, but they were very fast, so fast that Cheng Yu was a little dizzy. At some point behind the elbow, a hole was cracked, revealing the strong flesh inside.

Cheng Yu was roasting the fire and waiting quietly. He knew that Cao Cao called him in the middle of the night, and there must be something important that he could not decide, so he had to listen to his opinions. He had been sitting for half an hour, but Cao Cao never said it. Cheng Yu was not only not puzzled, but was even more excited. Because this only shows one problem, this matter is very important, and Cao Cao had to think twice before acting.

Cao Cao slowed down and finally stood behind Cheng Yu. He put his waist on his back and raised his head slightly, as if he was looking at the top of the tent, but his mind was obviously not on the top of the black tent. His voice was also a bit erratic, which made Cheng Yu feel like he was floating from a distance.

"Zhongde, Liu Xiu sent Xun Gongda to come. He designed several plans for His Majesty for the emperor to choose." Cao Cao said lightly the news that he had just asked about from Cao Ang. "What do you think?"

Cheng Yu slowly turned his hands beside the fire, thinking about it for a moment very seriously: "These plans should not depend on our opinions, but on the emperor's opinions."

Cao Cao turned his head, glanced at Cheng Yu's back, and nodded secretly. He saw the reaction of the Liangzhou generals from Song Feng's account, and knew that the decision-making power for the war was not actually here, but in the hands of Liu Xiu in the distance. The emperor's method of suppressing Liu Xiu was too rapid, which made the Liangzhou generals feel threatened. Therefore, Duan Feng refused to come forward to command the war. Although Lu Zhi was loyal, he did not have his own direct power and could not control the situation at all. Without the support of these Liangzhou people, all his plans could only be verbally.

The little emperor's plan was to use him. With his army as the main force, he stationed the imperial guards in the area of ​​Arctic Pass and Xingyang to restrain the Yuan family. Therefore, the little emperor specially brought his daughter Cao Rui by his side, expressing his preferential treatment and hoping that he could stand up and support him. Confront Liu Xiu.

For the Cao family, this is a good opportunity. No matter how much victory it can be achieved, as long as the emperor has face, the emperor will not be in a bad position and return in a bad way. Then he will become a powerful minister who can be equal to Liu Xiu. Attracted by this beautiful vision, Cao Ang and Cao Rui and his brothers and sisters strongly advised him to accept the emperor's arrangement and seize this opportunity.

But Cao Cao is not a child like Cao Ang and Cao Rui. He worked hard in the officialdom for more than ten years and was friends with Liu Xiu for fourteen years. As soon as Liu Xiu entered Luoyang, they became friends. How did Liu Xiu get to where he is today step by step? Cao Cao knew very well. He was too clear about Liu Xiu's methods. If he wanted to be an opponent with Liu Xiu, he had to first consider his own strength.

After careful comparison, Cao Cao was a little unconfidence. Liu Xiu had occupied half of the land, especially Liangzhou and Bingzhou, which controlled the production bases of war horses. Now there are two major states, Yizhou and Jingzhou. The Yizhou Navy, Jingzhou Navy and Yangzhou Navy almost all fell into his hands, with a complete range of troops, while Cao Cao only had Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, infantry and navy, but the lifeline of the cavalry was controlled by Liu Xiu. In this regard, he could only be at a disadvantage.

In terms of identity, Liu Xiu was the prince of the King of Chu and a royal family, while Cao Cao was not even a relative of the foreigners. The Cao family was only dependent on the Song family, but the Empress Dowager Song's attitude made Cao Cao very frustrated. The Empress Dowager Song obviously disagreed with the young emperor's proposal to suppress Liu Xiu. She had clearly told Cao Cao that the queen's throne belonged to Liu He, and Cao Rui didn't even think about it.

Why did Empress Dowager Song think so? Cao Cao thought there might be two reasons. First, Liu Xiu was powerful. With the current strength of the young emperor, no matter how hard he tried, he was no match for Liu Xiu. If he was eager to attack, he would only force Liu Xiu to rebel. Second, the Song family was able to revive the dead. Liu Xiu made great contributions, and she did not want to turn against Liu Xiu.

However, Cao Cao had another guess in his mind, a guess that could not be told to anyone. When he saw the appearance of the little emperor today, he suddenly remembered the rumor of Yuan Shao. Liu Xiu was only nineteen years old when he arrived in Luoyang, and his face had not been cleaned yet. The little emperor, who was only thirteen years old this year, was indeed somewhat similar to him back then, but he had nothing similar to the late emperor. When he thought of Empress Dowager Song's attitude, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that the little emperor is really Liu Xiu's bloodline?

If this is true, it will be difficult for him to do it. He will never get along with relatives and intervene in the family affairs of the Tian family, and never has a good result.

"Your Majesty's choice is like intentionally cultivating a general. If the general wants to make achievements, this is a good opportunity." Cheng Yu said slowly: "Don't the general want to catch him?"

Cao Cao turned to the opposite side of Cheng Yu and sat down. Cheng Yu picked up the tongs and plucked it in the fire. A few sparks floated out, and it disappeared in one flash, just like the light in Cao Cao's eyes. He held his hands together, looked at the flashing flames, and smiled silently: "Can I catch it?"

Cheng Yu glanced at him, and after a while, he pulled out the tongs from the fire and extended the red-hot head to Cao Cao: "General, can you catch this tong?"

Cao Cao glanced at it and smiled and said, "I can't catch it."

Cheng Yu nodded, inserted the tongs back into the fire and continued to cook the fire. "In my opinion, the general can't catch it. Your Majesty is only thirteen years old this year, and his scheming is far beyond his peers. In time, he will be a ruthless lord and cannot tolerate any powerful minister's restraint. With such a king, it is hard to say that it is the blessing or misfortune of his ministers, just like Emperor Xiaowu of the past, he fought south and north and expanded his territory, but which of the famous ministers and generals who have put in countless efforts to expand his territory have a good ending?"

Cao Cao listened quietly without saying a word.

"The Han Dynasty has been like an old man in his twilight years. He has already had enough luck. Today, the general of the chariots and cavalry made great contributions. He not only made outstanding achievements in military achievements, but also used unique ways to redeem the land in the hands of aristocratic families to safeguard the people. Although there are many problems, for thousands of years, it is only this time that can solve the problem of land annexation without causing chaos in the world." Cheng Yu stared at the beating flames, his eyes lit up: "If his new policy can be implemented to the world and there are wise monarchs and wise ministers, I believe it is entirely possible for the Han Dynasty to increase its luck by another hundred years."

Cao Cao agreed slightly. After the implementation of the new policy by several states under Liu Xiu, his strength increased rapidly, which had already caused a lot of response in other states. The families of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou were all hoping to end the war as soon as possible and implement the new policy so that they could also make profits from it. Cao Cao heard a lot of such voices.

"The contributions made by General Cheqi and Cavalry are even better than Huo Guang. Huo Guang can still end up well, but General Cheqi and Cavalry may not be able to do so. Your Majesty's thoughts are a bit too cruel." Cheng Yu's voice was a little cold and a little hard: "General, how likely do you have to win compared to General Cheqi and Cavalry?"

Cao Cao shook his head. No matter which aspect, he was slightly inferior to Liu Xiu. He understood what Cheng Yu meant. The little emperor was afraid of Liu Xiu today and wanted to support you to deal with Liu Xiu. In the future, he might die of a cunning rabbit or a lackey. What's more, Liu Xiu's power has become stronger. With his strength, if he wants to deal with Liu Xiu, although it is not said that he is hitting a stone with an egg, the chance of winning is absolutely no more than half.

"What should I do?" Cao Cao asked softly.

"See me..." Cheng Yu also lowered his voice: "It is better to persuade him to be harmonious than to help him fight."

Cao Cao raised his eyelids, and his eyes burst out like a blade instantly and fell on Cheng Yu's face. Cheng Yu lowered his head, lowered his eyelids, and remained motionless. After a while, Cao Cao withdrew his gaze, regained his indifference, and nodded slowly and said, "How to persuade him to reconcile?"

"There is nothing else, I just know the pros and cons." Cheng Yu sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is a wise and wise person. He will not do it recklessly."

Cao Cao also laughed, "Zhongde, you really have a red sun this time."

Cheng Yu smiled at him.

Cao Cao got up and walked to the desk, reached out to lay the paper, Cheng Yu rushed over, opened the ink cartridge, grinding the ink for him. While preparing, the two of them discussed softly and grinded the ink. Cao Cao took the pen in his hand, waved it and wrote an article. After he finished writing the last word, he smiled: "How?"

"The general's article is of course good." Cheng Yu laughed.

"I didn't expect that you, Cheng Zhongde, was also a slander today." Cao Cao laughed, and a hint of lust flashed in his eyes.

...

In Jiangling, Liu Xiu looked at Cao Ang, who was exhausted and looked at the edict in his hand, but did not kneel down to receive the edict. A day ago, Xun You had already sent a quick horse to send the news back. Cao Cao rushed to the Arc depot to see the edict, but refused the command power that the young emperor wanted to appoint him. Instead, he tried his best to urge the emperor to issue an edict and hand over the command power of the army to him Liu Xiu. The young emperor was furious, but there was no way, because everyone except Lu Zhi, including Empress Dowager Song supported Cao Cao's suggestions, and Lu Zhi had no prestige in the army. He could not control those powerful generals at all. Duan Bing, who could control those people, was also called sick and did not say a word. He did not speak. Of course, the generals of the Xiliang clan knew it well, and expressed their support for Cao Cao and asked the young emperor to ask Liu Xiu to preside over the war.

Under such circumstances, although the little emperor was angry, he had to compromise and issued an edict to rush to the front line to command the war.

This is how Cao Ang came. Now he held the edict and waited for Liu Xiu to kneel down and listen to the edict, but Liu Xiu was motionless. This silent refusal made him feel panicked.

"What do you tell me first?" Liu Xiu said casually: "If it is something I can accept, I will accept the edict. If I can't accept it, you don't have to worry about it. Just take the edict back."

Sweat beads oozing from Cao Ang's forehead, but Liu Xiu didn't accept the edict? Before he came, his father Cao Cao had taken care of him. Liu Xiu might make things difficult for him, but even Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Xiu was so arrogant that he didn't even accept the edict. Cao Ang was at a loss for a moment, and was stunned for a moment, then he said a little stuttering: "General, this is Your Majesty's edict. If you don't accept the edict, it is a serious crime to resist the edict."

Liu Xiu frowned: "It's not that I don't accept the edict. Of course I have to accept the edict. But if I can't do what I want to do in the edict, then it will be in vain if I accept it. Since it's in vain, why should I accept it... Updated in the early morning, please vote for recommendation! (To be continued) Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!!!
