Chapter 466: Cao Cao's Choice
But she couldn't understand one thing, that is, why Li Huiyi sent his daughter to her side, or whether his daughter did it herself.
However, judging from Li Shu's age, it is more likely that he will be instructed.
In order to prove her guess, Mrs. Cai remained silent all the way, just to bring Li Shu back and let Cai Mao investigate secretly.
Mrs. Cai said: "Yes or no, my brother investigates it, and it will be clear." ”
Cai Mao nodded slowly and said, "Then if it is really that person's daughter, what is my sister going to do?" ”
Mrs. Cai had already thought about this, and replied casually: "Either send her back, or leave her behind, protect her, does my brother still want to do it." ”
It is impossible to do it, and it is even more impossible to stay, in case the news spreads, I am afraid that it will cause a big turmoil, and Cai Mao will definitely not be able to cope with it at that time.
Li Shu's importance is no less than a fortified city, no matter if the princes of that side get her, they can use her as a coercion in exchange for benefits.
Cai Mao thought for a while and said, "Okay, sister, don't worry, this matter will be investigated by the brother as soon as possible." ”
Seeing Cai Mao agree, Mrs. Cai stood up and wanted to leave. "Okay, that brother has nothing else to do, Mrs. Ben will go back first."
Cai Mao stood up and said, "Okay, after my sister goes back, remember to discuss with my brother in case of trouble, now there are only you and me left in the Cai family." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Cai was stunned, and then walked out again. "My sister knows, and my brother takes care of himself."
For the first time in the past few years, Mrs. Cai took the initiative to say that she cared about Cai Mao.
This made Cai Mao's heart excited, and she felt that all the suffering was worth it.
Looking at Mrs. Cai, who had already walked out of the house, Cai Mao had a smile on her face and hurried to catch up with her.
After summoning, Li Shu and the others followed the servants, and they also hurried to Mrs. Cai's side and followed away.
Cai Mao, who was on the side, secretly observed, and saw that Li Shu was indeed very similar to Li Huiyi, and couldn't help but pay a little attention to this matter.
Sent Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao hurriedly summoned her henchmen and secretly began to investigate.
Jingzhou was secretly turbulent, as if it was the eve of a rainstorm, and Cao Cao, who was in Xuchang, was also discussing something with his advisers.
In the Cao Mansion Council, Cao Cao looked at the people who had their own opinions, and said slowly: "Don't fight, even if Li Huiyi doesn't have the position of a general, he wants to send troops to commit crimes, and he can do anything about it." ”
"The intention of this is to let His Majesty canonize according to what he said."
Xu You arched his hand and said: "The lord is thoughtful, but in order to prevent Li Huiyi from taking advantage of this title, you think that the lord should be the prime minister, so as to take the initiative when fighting Li Huiyi in the future." ”
Hearing this, Xun Yu immediately stood up and said: "This law is not appropriate, the post of prime minister has been abandoned for many years, if the lord is restarted, I am afraid that he will be compared to Dong Zhuo." ”
Xu You shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is still young, and you need the assistance of loyal ministers, and the lord rescues Your Majesty from the tiger's mouth. ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the advisers under Cao Cao's command agreed, after all, the prime minister was under one person and could give orders to anyone except the Son of Heaven.
Although it is convenient, this move is also disobedient, and the reason why the post of prime minister was abolished is because it threatens the imperial power.
At present, Liu Xie does not have a trace of military power in his hands, and if Cao Cao is promoted to the prime minister, then Liu Xie will become a real puppet.
Xun Yu, who was loyal to the Han family, naturally did not want Cao Cao to step on the position of the repugnable prime minister.
Xun Yu said coldly: "You are waiting for the lord to be roasted on the stove, the position of the prime minister, this is a poison." ”
Looking at Xun Yu, Cao Cao coughed a few times and said: "What Wen Ruo said is reasonable, this matter will be discussed later, let's talk about it first, whether to agree to Li Huiyi's conditions." ”
Xun Yu is an old minister who follows Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has to scruples, so as not to chill the hearts of these people.
Seeing that the admonition was abandoned, Xu You frowned and said, "My lord, You has already negotiated with Li Huiyi, if you don't agree, I'm afraid it will make him angry." ”
Xun You said on the side: "My lord, at present, it is important to exchange prisoners for prisoners, and I think that I can agree." ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, then it's decided, Ziyuan will work hard, hand over to Li Huiyi, and exchange the prisoners back as soon as possible." ”
"There is also a express report from Jingzhou, saying that Liu Biao has agreed and is willing to provide grain and grass to reach long-term cooperation, so I want to start a new military operation as soon as the grain and grass arrive."
Xun Yu frowned and asked, "Where does the Lord Gongyi soldier refer to?" ”
Cao Cao said: "At present, there are two plans, one is Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, and the other is the dozens of princes in Liangzhou. ”
Cao's army has been fighting fiercely all year round, and although the strength of the Vietnam War is getting stronger, there are also many hidden problems.
For example, the soldiers' war-weariness, as well as the loss of strength and so on.
Although nothing has happened yet, if it erupts, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil.
Xun Yu thought for a while and said: "The lord's method is really good, but the soldiers need to recuperate, Yu thinks that the war should be stopped for a year, and the troops will be sent next year." ”
Cao Cao also knew about Xun Yu's suggestion, but Li Huiyi put too much pressure on him, and he had to recover these two places as soon as possible to have the capital for a war.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Wen Ruo's suggestion is good, but it is off topic, do you have any other suggestions." ”
Seeing Cao Cao's firm intention to send troops, Xun You said on the side: "Lord, there is a best of two strategies, or you can solve your worries." ”
Cao Cao showed a smile on his face and said, "Oh, Gongda say it quickly." ”
Xun You smiled and said: "Wancheng Zhang Xiu, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but this person has no desire to fight for hegemony, the lord can personally send 10,000 troops, raise a false banner, claim to be 80,000 elites, and march with great fanfare along the way." ”
"When the news reaches Wancheng, Zhang Xiu will be frightened and overwhelmed, and then send a person who can speak well to persuade him to surrender, and he will definitely receive miraculous results."
"As for the princes of Xiliang, the lord can take the opportunity to prepare for a year, and then take it in one fell swoop, it should be easy."
Take the lead and darken Chen Cang, this method is really good, and it also meets Cao Cao's current needs.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Okay, Gongda is really Zhang Liang, this matter is decided like this, Gongda will work harder and arrange the affairs of the expedition." ”
Xun You arched his hand and said: "Yes, you must arrange this matter within a month." ”
After the matter was discussed, Cao Cao was also a little tired, waved his hand to let everyone leave, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Although his eyes were closed, Cao Cao's mind did recall Xu You's advice.
Cao Cao didn't care about the position of prime minister, but from this matter, he saw the contradiction, a superior person, he was afraid that his subordinates and others would not be consistent in the face of major events.
People like Xu You, Cao Cao's subordinates and others occupy the majority, and people like Xun Yu, although they are a minority, are all important ministers.
