It's a pity that Ma Chao forgot that he is not the only one who travels through this time and space.

Xu Du, in the Sanssouci Palace.

Liu Xie took the report in his hand and smiled with satisfaction. Then he looked at Cao Cao's eyes, and couldn't help but be a little more unfathomable: "Lord Sikong, do you really plan to make a move to Xuzhou?" ”

"It's not that Cao wants to make a move on Tao Qian, but that the minister has to take him to the knife in order to maintain the dignity of the Han family!" Cao Cao squinted, glanced at Liu Xie, and said coldly.

And Liu Xie couldn't help but sneer when he heard Cao Cao's words. As if bored, but also as if intentional, he said casually: "Lord Sikong, in front of me, you don't have to say these polite words. Now that the Han family is in the world, Ma Chao has already made it an era of competition among heroes. In the whole world, will anyone still obey the edict of me, the son of the Han family? What's more, my current edict is not like writing a check, and the specific amount is filled in by you, Lord Sikong? ....... Isn't that the Lord Sikong appointed by my edict? ”

When Liu Xie said 'Lord Sikong', his tone couldn't help but increase a little. The irony in it is naturally to ridicule Cao Cao for asking himself for the position of Sikong after he attacked Yuan Shu.

However, when Cao Cao heard this, he was not annoyed at all, but said meaningfully: "Write a check? Fill in the specific number yourself? ......... Your Majesty, although the minister does not understand the specific meaning of your analogy, the minister thinks the meaning is quite interesting. However, Your Majesty does not need to be cynical, after all, now the Han family and Cao are tied to the same boat. If the water is prosperous, the boat is fast, this truth, presumably His Majesty has more experience than the ministers. ”

"Well, exactly." Liu Xie also smiled, and on his young face, there was a faint smile that only adults have, which really made people feel incredible. And Liu Xie's subsequent words made others sigh and fear Liu Xie's extraordinary: "It's just that Cao Gong deigned to the position of commonplace and gave up the position of general to Yuan Shao." This trick really impressed me. The degree of forbearance is beyond my reach........"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie finally sighed slightly, as if reminiscing and as if regretful, and said softly: "If I had learned faster and knew how to forbear, I am afraid I would not have been bullied by Ma Mengqi to this point.........

When Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others heard this, after seeing Liu Xie's expression, they all glanced at each other, their eyes showed thick doubts and guard, but they didn't say anything. In the entire Sanssouci Palace, it seemed that a strange aura of silence gradually began to permeate.

What Liu Xie said meant that Cao Cao began to get a little carried away after his victory in the conquest of Yuan Shu. Thinking that he had defeated the commander of the Southern Front that year, and had the trump card of 'Emperor of the Han Dynasty' in his hands, he began to slightly test the reaction of his top boss Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao first issued an edict in the name of offering the emperor, condemning Yuan Shaodi for having a large number of troops and only caring about the melee of the princes and not acting as the king of Qin. After Yuan Shao received this letter of condemnation, he wrote a long letter of defense and repeatedly confessed. Cao Cao was happy when he saw this, hey, the princes ordered by the Son of Heaven are really useful, and even Yuan Shao is obedient.

Of course, Yuan Shao's strength at this time was still much greater than Cao Cao's. Cao Cao didn't dare to go too far, so he planned to appease Yuan Shao. So in the name of Emperor Xian, Yuan Shao was appointed as the captain. And the post of Tai Lieutenant, who was the third duke, was the nominal commander-in-chief of the three armies at that time.

It is said that such a reward was already a great favor for Yuan Shao, who was only a Jizhou pastor at the time. However, Cao Cao forgot. He had been following Yuan Shao before; Even after he came out of charge of Yanzhou and became a prince, he relied on Yuan Shao's strength to survive and develop. For example, this time the western rejection of Yuan Shu also relied on Yuan Shao's military food support.

But now, Cao Cao has begun to implement Tuntian, coerce the emperor, and has the ability to survive independently. Therefore, Cao Cao was ordered to take the post of general of the Han Dynasty. Of course, this edict is, as Liu Xie said, an official position filled in by Cao Cao himself.

But this point is precisely what Yuan Shao is most taboo. Because the position of general is an important position in charge of the transfer of military horses in the world, and the position is still above the captain. If he ascends to the palace, Yuan Shao's position as Captain has to stand behind Cao Cao. This makes Yuan Shao, who has never put Cao Cao in an equal position in his heart, how can he stand it?!

Therefore, after Yuan Shao received this edict, he was not grateful. Instead, he ripped off the disguise of loyalty and patriotism, and said angrily: "Cao Cao should die, and I will save him........ Insulting my Yuan family today, do you want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the world? ”

This is Yuan Shao's original text. People in this era speak more politely. But according to Ma Chao's previous life, you can hear Yuan Shao's anger at that time: Damn! If it weren't for Lao Tzu, Cao Cao would have died a few times ago! What kind of thing is he, he dares to be ungrateful, climb on my head to pee, and dare to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order me?! Lao Tzu is not powerful, he really uses Lao Tzu as a hellokitty?!!

Yuan Shao, who was arrogant and arrogant, became angry and turned his face and began to deny people. And Cao Cao finally realized his mistake at this time. Coupled with the land of the four battles in Yanzhou, Cao Cao did not dare to offend Yuan Shao, the big brother. So he wrote a letter requesting that the position of general be given to Yuan Shao, and as a result, Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao was still quite discerning, and as soon as his vanity was satisfied, he gladly accepted the position of general. The relationship with Cao Cao has also returned to the honeymoon period, and the heat is lingering.

However, in fact, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Liu Xie and other princes and strategists can see that this episode is actually not interesting at all. At this time, Ma Mengqi had already opened the curtain of the big stage with his own hands, whether it was a general, a hussar general, a captain, or a commonplace, to be honest, it was called vain, at this time the world had fallen apart, and every place was controlled by local warlords. The order of the imperial court went out, and it was not said in vain, and it was said in vain. There is no difference between a big general and a small general.

In today's situation, the key is how big your territory is and how hard your fists are! Although Yuan Shao's official position is above Ma Chao, you let him command Ma Chao to try? Ma Chao didn't need to move troops, one greeting down, Yongzhou, Sili and Nanyang, millions of people could directly scold Yuan Shao to death. Moreover, it is definitely harder, more direct, more shameless, more heart-wrenching, and painful than Yuan Shao's scolding of Cao Cao........

And after Liu Xie said this, Cao Cao and his advisers didn't know how to deal with it. In the end, Xun Yu was more tactful, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the name of Yuan Shao IV and the Fifth Duke is both a fame and a burden. As a result, he had to fight for face. And Jizhou is under the rule of Yuan Shao, and it is also considered a rich state. However, Tao Gongzu is the pastor of Xuzhou, and he should govern one side and serve the imperial court. Under the rule of Xuzhou, the traitor Que Xuan gathered thousands of people, and he dared to proclaim himself the Son of Heaven, deceive the king, attack the county, and be really ignorant. Tao Gongzu not only did not raise troops to suppress it, but he was even more ignorant to the point of joining forces, and secretly joined forces with Que Xuan, and took the lead in capturing several county towns in Yuzhou under the guise of being a 'puppet emperor'! ”

Xun Yu said this, and raised his eyes to look at Liu Xie. Finding that Liu Xie looked interested, he continued: "Cao Gong originally wanted to condemn the edict Tao Qian to get lost, but Tao Qian actually asked Xu Du for military rations in the name of suppressing rebellion. And aggressively, the soldiers pointed westward, and even attacked Rencheng at the southern end of Yanzhou. This great rebellion has ruined the prestige of the Han family. Cao Gongxing's crusade against the army is exactly the move of Kuang Fu Sheji and the prestige of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Well, the conversation is finally back on track." Liu Xie got up suddenly, and after walking in front of Xun Yu, he stared at Xun Yu a few times, and said: "Lord Sikong, such high-sounding words should naturally be said by Wen Ruo and other strategists. No, he's right, it's much better than you........."

When Cao Cao heard this, he also smiled, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Xie boasted of Wen Ruo." After saying that, he also deliberately glanced at Liu Xie: Your Majesty still doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of his ministers for such a trick as sowing discord........
