Chapter 99 Cao Cao is a bloodbath
"Gongda, this is an urgent report sent by Xu Dukang, please take a look."
"yes."
Xun You took it with both hands respectfully and then looked at it. After seeing it, he was also very surprised, and then he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Why do you have to discuss such a major matter?
As the master of the plan, if you ask me how to beat Lu Bu, I will be willing to give you some advice, but if you ask me how to deal with the emperor? What do you ask me to say?
"Gongda, Fengxiao, what do you think I should be now?"
Guo Jia had a long time ago, so he immediately spoke first: "The emperor is leaving, we can't stop it, and there is no need to stop it. However, the emperor still has 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers. These Qingzhou soldiers are all making a military farm, and their families are all near Xu County. Spring plowing is about to be about to be plowing. The lord can order them to come back for spring plowing on this ground."
When Cao Cao heard this, he quietly looked at Xun You again.
Xun You knew that he could not escape, and his position was indeed too embarrassing, so he could only sigh and say, "Ming Gong has made great contributions to saving the emperor. The court can be said to be supported by Ming Gong with all his strength. The great contribution is that no one can compete with you since Guangwu. The emperor has appointed you as the Grand Sima and is still recording the affairs of the Shangshu. You are still under one person and above ten thousand people. Are you... really going to turn against the emperor? Yuan Shao, Hebei, is already eyeing you!"
"Um……"
Cao Cao groaned, "If I remove the military power and go to Wancheng with the emperor, when Yuan Shao is here, the emperor will not touch me. If Yuan Shao wins then, it is not necessary to say that as the last loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and important minister, I will leave my life in history and sacrifice my life for righteousness. But if the emperor wins, I am afraid that the rabbit will die, the dog will cook, the birds will be gone, and the good bow will be hidden. Gongda, you and I have known each other for many years. Do you really think that I can still have a way out of the matter now?"
Xun You said without hesitation: "Yes."
“How to say it?”
"I heard that the queen is pregnant."
"Um?"
"If a boy is the eldest son, he should be the eldest son. As long as he does not die early, he will be the crown prince. Ming Gong. Now that you are willing to believe me, I will tell you a few words in your heart. With Ming Gong, you are so important, the world is uncertain, and the emperor will not dare to do anything to you. But can the world be determined in ten or eight years? When the world is settled, the prince has grown up. If you want to abolish the queen, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country. The emperor has a benevolent monarch and will definitely not do this."
"Ming Gong, I'm very disrespectful. Since Guangwu, the emperor of this dynasty has shown that some people have not collapsed early. Maybe the emperor will collapse before the world is swept away, and he may not be able to live without you."
Guo Jia frowned and said, "What if the queen gave birth to a prince but a princess, what if the prince died prematurely? Besides, who in the world doesn't know that the emperor now favors Guiren Guo."
Xun You said calmly: "Then let's be reborn, the emperor has great ambitions, and he must know whose son is the best for the imperial court to be the prince. Or the same sentence, Yuan Shao is still there, now he will consider the death of a rabbit and the dog cooking, and the filial piety. Don't you think it's too early? At present, Xia Pi is in danger, and taking down Lu Bu is the most urgent thing we need to consider! Is it necessary to withdraw troops just because the emperor moves the capital? Military merits are the foundation of Ming Gong's establishment!"
"Every word of You is from the heart, and it is all for the sake of Ming Gong. Please think twice!" After that, Xun You knelt down to Cao Cao with great tribute.
When Cao Cao heard this, he closed his eyes for a long time and said nothing.
"Summon Hua Tuo."
Guo Jia and Xun You were stunned for a moment.
Hua Tuo is a fellow villager in Qiao County of Cao Cao. He has a very good medical skills and is trusted by Cao Cao. Because Cao Cao has a migraine problem, he takes him with him everywhere. They all know this, but why did he summon Hua Tuo to do?
Have you had a headache again?
Can't see it.
After a while, Hua Tuo came over and after a simple salute, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "My doctor, my daughter has been pregnant for more than four months. I wonder... If you were asked to take the pulse, can you tell the difference between men and women?"
"This...is really clear."
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Very good, you go down first. In addition, you can help me invite Mr. Yuanlong after you go out."
"yes."
After a while, Chen Deng also arrived.
"Yuanlong, you have worked harder and persuade Wen Yuan for me. I said, I am willing to represent his brother Zhang Fan as a general, he is a general of Fenwu, Fengting Hou. In addition, I have already become the adopted daughter of my stepson Lian, and I intend to recruit him as my son-in-law and ask him to help me defeat the Lu thief together!"
Chen Deng was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't know what happened, but he just thought... he invested so much money?
So envious!
However, he also knew that only the Caotou King was the one who had soldiers these days. The soldiers and horses in Zhang Liao were indeed worthy of Cao Cao's daughter, let alone the adopted daughter whom he adopted.
Besides, after Zhang Liao was also a famous family, he had achieved such great achievements at less than 30 years old this year. He really deserves the word "Shouyan" in the world. No matter how you look at it, he can be regarded as a good match.
In fact, Zhang Liao has never been a confidant and direct descendant of Lu Bu, and the two of them cannot be brothers. In terms of age, Zhang Liao can call Lu Bu an uncle.
It is true that the two of them were also from Ding Yuan's command, but Zhang Liao didn't follow Ding Yuan for a long time. He not long after, he recommended him and Zhang Yang to He Jin. Moreover, he was highly valued by He Jin. After eliminating the eunuch Jian Shuo, he even asked him to join the Xiyuan Imperial Army, and even sent him to Jizhou to recruit soldiers for himself!
At that time, the people in charge of the recruitment were: Wang Kuang conquered the soldiers of Xuzhou, Bao Xin conquered the soldiers of Taishan (later given to Yu Jin), Wuqiu Yi conquered the soldiers of Danyang (Liu Bei was under his command at the time, so Liu Bei had the foundation of the Danyang soldiers), Zhang Yang conquered the soldiers of Bingzhou, and this guy later took in Lu Bu.
Most of these people later became princes in the late Han Dynasty. Zhang Liao was able to join these people at this time and undertake the same task. From this we can also see that Zhang Liao had a high status at that time, and Zhang Liao was only about twenty years old at that time!
Therefore, Zhang Liao’s soldiers were not all from Bingzhou, but from Jizhou. They were originally the Imperial Guards of Luoyang.
Lu Bu was left by Ding Yuan as the chief clerk, and it cannot be said that he was not valued. But which one is more valued, the talent who stayed by his side as an assistant or the talent who recommended him to his boss?
To be honest, it is really hard to believe that Lu Bu is the age of him, but if you say that he is Ding Yuan's adopted son, it is really credible.
Even with Zhang Liao's momentum of rising to prominence when he was twenty years old, Ding Yuan's own son did not have such treatment!
Then Dong Zhuo went to Beijing and incorporated the imperial guards, but Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan!
After Dong Zhuo died, he became Lu Bu's subordinate again (eight out of ten were done by Wang Yun). If Zhang Liao was loyal to Lu Bu, he would have been a ghost!
So in fact, Zhang Liao watched the fun throughout the entire Battle of Xia Pi and did not participate at all. It was obvious that Liang didn't want to help. The soldiers and horses in his hands were all his confidants recruited by him. Even if Lu Bu won, what could he do to him?
Cao Cao was the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, and he had been a colleague with Zhang Liao. It is most likely that he was in the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Therefore, he had no problem at all when he was trying to win over Zhang Liao at this time, and no one could say that Zhang Liao was an act of disloyalty.
In his opinion, Zhang Liao is just starting a price. I will directly report that you are the miscellaneous general of the court. Is this price high enough? I will marry all my daughters to you. Is it enough? If not enough, can you bring it up!
Cao Cao had another consideration in addition to this. After all, he and the emperor are basically almost turning against each other publicly, and even the generals from other surnames can't believe it. But let's take a look at Xiahou Dun, his ability is really limited.
Although he was trying hard to win over Le Jin, Xu Huang and Yu Jin, and others, they were all a little older after all, and they had already had wives. He was so shameless that he married his daughter.
After thinking about it, only Zhang Liao is the most suitable, because he is a good match in itself, and he can help him destroy Lu Bu. This is really killing two birds with one stone.
