"There is already deceit between the two of them, how can there be no other mess of thoughts?"

After saying this, Lao Cao looked at Cao Chong with some interest and motioned for Cao Chong to continue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Chong also sorted out his thoughts here, and said to Lao Cao very seriously: "It's just that father, no matter how deceitful Lu Ren and Sun Quan are, they don't need to say much about their father's defense, and Sun Quan has a little chance to desperately win over Lu Ren." And looking back, doesn't my father think that in the past few years, the friendship between us and Lu Ren has been a little insufficient? ”

“……”

These words silenced Lao Cao. Just like Cao Chong said, in the past few years, Lao Cao has hardly done anything to enhance friendly relations with Lu Ren, but has played some messy tricks with Lu Ren, and then Lu Ren has found out and dissolved them. To paraphrase the terminology in the game, the diplomatic hostility between Lao Cao and Lu Ren has increased a lot in the past few years. If this continues to develop, perhaps the diplomatic relations between the two sides will become "sinister".

Cao Chong looked at Lao Cao's face, nodded secretly in his heart, and then continued: "The child knows that his father has the ambition to sweep the world, but whether it is Liu Bei, Sun Quan, or Lu Ren, they are by no means enemies that can be defeated quickly. And among these three people, except for Liu Bei, the relationship between his father and Sun Quan and Lu Ren is not a mortal enemy, and he should properly maintain some contacts with them, rather than making them too stiff. If you do this, it will be convenient for you to take advantage of the strategy when the time comes. ”

Lao Cao nodded, and his eyes narrowed.

Cao Chong said: "Take the moment as an example, Sun Quan has been trying his best to win over Lu Ren, if Jiangdong and Yizhou really form a strong alliance, Sun Quan uses Lu Ren's help to fight against his father, and his father's conquest of Jiangdong will become even more difficult, but in recent years, my father has neglected to have good relations with Lu Ren, which makes Lu Ren lean more on Sun Quan's side, because Lu Ren also has a deep sense of defense against his father." ”

Lao Cao nodded again. After all, Lao Cao is not the kind of person who is rigid and self-serving, and he is very good at listening to opinions, and the analysis made by Cao Chong at the moment also made Lao Cao very agreeable, because Lao Cao realized that he was indeed a little neglected in this regard.

Cao Chong said: "But my father also understands that the alliance between Lu Ren and Sun Quan is actually forced by his father's momentum, and it is not unbreakable in itself, and Lu Ren and Sun Quan also have their own ghosts in their hearts. And because his father has neglected to be friendly with Lu Ren in the past few years, this will also make Lu Ren feel a little self-assured, so he and Sun Quan have become closer and closer on the surface. If the father still ignores Lu Ren like he does now, the child is worried about ......"

Lao Cao said "um" and nodded: "Chong'er, you are right, my father has indeed neglected his friendship with Lu Ren in the past few years, but he has made Lu Ren and Sun Quan so close. What do you mean now? ”

Cao Chong said: "The meaning of the child is to ask the father to let the child go to Yizhou with confidence and boldness." On the bright side...... When Sun Quan's mother went to Yizhou, she said that she was looking for medical treatment, didn't the child also go to Yizhou for treatment in her early years? Now it is only said that the old disease has recurred, and it is necessary to go to Yizhou again. Then the child will give himself a three-inch tongue, and he must persuade Lu Ren to let Lu Lan go to Wei Realm to tour. ”

Lao Cao said: "Then Chong'er, what is the purpose of your trip?" ”

Cao Chong groaned: "It's very simple, Lu Ren and Sun Quan are not as close as they seem, but my father can't really just sit idly by and ignore them. Compared with Sun Quan, Lu Ren is relatively easy to start, because aside from the old relationship between Lu Ren and his father, Lu Ren himself and his father will not directly fight each other. On the other hand, Lu Ren also needs to maintain a corresponding close relationship with his father. ”

Lao Cao smiled and nodded: "What do you say?" ”

Cao Chong said: "Sun Quan befriended Lu Ren because he was afraid that when he was at war with his father, Lu Ren would send troops from Yizhou to invade Jiangdong, but Lu Ren could not completely fall to Sun Quan, because Lu Ren knew that Sun Quan also had a touch on Yizhou, so it was necessary for Lu Ren to maintain a certain relationship with his father and use his father's strength to restrain Sun Quan." ”

Lao Cao nodded and said, "Not bad!" The relationship between me, Liu, and Lu is such a staggered relationship. ”

Cao Chong said: "Now Sun Quan and Lu Ren seem to be getting closer and closer, but in the child's opinion, Lu Ren is also waiting for his father to respond to him. Maybe after Lu Ren occupied the two Liao, he deliberately wanted to escort Gongsun Yuan to Xudu, just to vaguely want to show something to his father? At least in the child's opinion, he Lu Ren occupied the land of the two Liao, who could help him? Why did he have to do anything else? ”

"Hiss......"

Hearing the latter sentence, Lao Cao couldn't help but take a breath. Lao Cao's analysis of this matter at the beginning was mainly related to Xun Yu's matter with Lu Ren. But now that Cao Chong mentioned it, Lao Cao remembered that according to his previous dealings with Lu Ren, Lu Ren didn't seem to be the kind of person who would be loyal to the Han family......

Speaking of which, Lu Ren is really not a person who will be loyal to the Han family. But here I want to explain that Lu Ren is definitely not a "traitor", on the contrary, Lu Ren was still a real angry young man at the beginning, and he hoped that his country and nation would be strong. And Lu Ren will not be loyal to the Han family...... A modern person, a traverser, how can he take those feudal kings and imperial power seriously? And where will Lao Cao understand these things? In Lao Cao's opinion, Lu Ren will not be a diehard loyalist of the Han family.

As for the fact that Lu Ren is always in the name of a courtier of the Han family, hehe, Lao Cao himself also relied on this kind of thing to start his family, okay? If Lao Cao is "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the candidates", then Lu Ren should be "using the name of the Son of Heaven to correct his own name". There is no need to say too much about these political matters.

All in all, Cao Chong's words can be regarded as a wake-up call for Lao Cao, making Lao Cao feel that he seems to be thinking in the wrong direction on a certain issue. And at this time, Lu Ren had already occupied the land of the two Liaos, which made Lao Cao feel a certain threat. If Lu Ren is really following Xun Yu's train of thought, then Lao Cao's next trouble will definitely not be small. But if Lu Ren just wants to earn some political capital through such a thing...... In contrast, Lao Cao still prefers the latter. In this case, it is indeed necessary for Lao Cao to deal more with Lu Ren and improve the relationship between the two sides.

Taking a step back, even if Lu Ren is really following a certain line of thought of Xun Yu, Lao Cao and Lu Ren here will have a better relationship, and there will be more room for maneuver. According to Lao Cao's previous inference, it is believed that the combination of Lu Ren and Xun Yu is using the matter of occupying the two Liaos and escorting Gongsun Yuan to warn Lao Cao not to go further on the basis of the present. To put it bluntly, even if your old Cao is now called a duke, this is already a fait accompli, but you don't have to think about becoming a king anymore.

You must know that Lao Cao is not a person who values false fame, which can be seen from the fact that Lao Cao did not claim the title of emperor all his life. Maybe at this time, some people will say that since you Lao Cao doesn't value your name, then why do you want to be called a public? In the end, it also led to Xun Yu's death?

I'm sorry, Lao Cao called the public not for fame, but for truth. Because according to the system at that time, only those with the title of "duke" could justifiably establish a vassal state, and what Lao Cao wanted was this "country" with an independent/independent nature. And since the Wei State has been established, whether or not he can enter the Jue as the "king", Lao Cao doesn't care very much.

As for the original history, Lao Cao will become the "king" after he gets Hanzhong, and it may not be difficult to find that this should actually be regarded as a move that Lao Cao had to take when carrying out political struggles, and he wanted to use military merits and the rise of the title to fight those opposition. But in terms of practical significance, after Lao Cao became a prince, except that the style was a little bigger, it seems to be no different from the duke's time, right?

Reflected at the current point, Lao Cao thinks that his symmetrical and indifferent sincerity can be used to make use of it. Externally, it can be used as a bargaining chip with Lu Ren; Internally, it can be used to calm the emotions of those pretentious literati. As for those who follow Lao Cao and expect Lao Cao to reap the benefits when he becomes an official...... Hehe, Lao Cao will tell them not to provoke Lu Ren, transfer the hatred of these people to Lu Ren, and let Lu Ren carry this black cauldron, I Lao Cao is actually very helpless. (Bottle note: Writing Lao Cao like this should be more in line with Lao Cao's image of a traitorous male, right?) Anyway, when the bottle wrote this section, the head was written big. ）

These are the thoughts in Lao Cao's heart, Cao Chong naturally won't know, and Lao Cao came up with some thoughts at this time that he could try to let Cao Chong go to Lu Ren for a turn. As for bringing out these topics, that is, the original one was slapped in the face by Sun Quan on the cultural level...... When it comes to these political levels, the fact that he was slapped in the face at the cultural level is not very important, at most, it can only be regarded as giving Lao Cao more face here, right?

However, if Cao Chong can really handle this matter well, he will first be able to earn a lot of political capital for Cao Chong, which is something that Lao Cao is more willing to see. In addition, if Lu Lan can be replaced and a tour in Wei Realm, Lao Cao himself is also very much looking forward to this. To tell the truth, today's Lao Cao can be regarded as a fan of Lu Lan, and he really has the idea of chasing stars more or less.

From a political point of view, if Lu Lan is replaced, there will also be a cultural festival in the Wei State, so that the literati on the Wei side will also raise their eyebrows and exhale their breath, and they can also earn back some face for Lao Cao, pay tribute to Sun Quan, and follow Sun Quan's face.

It's just that Lao Cao is most worried, of course, is Cao Chong's safety. If Lu Ren did something to detain Cao Chong......

But Cao Chong immediately responded: "Father can rest assured about this matter." In fact, looking at Lu Ren's behavior all the time, it is not difficult to see that Lu Ren will never do things absolutely, and he will leave room for everything. For example, to Sun Quan, he could have detained Sun Quan's mother in Yizhou, but he didn't do it. The child believes that Lu Ren can be said to be sandwiched between his father and Sun Quan, and wants to profit from the struggle between his father and Sun Quan, and it can even be said that he wants to use the struggle between his father and Sun Quan to give himself room to survive. Therefore, he will never do anything to either side unless he has to, and become a mortal enemy with either side, because that will be detrimental to him. ”

Lao Cao didn't answer immediately, but got up and left the table and ran back to the porch, pacing back and forth in the cold wind for a long, long time, and finally said to Cao Chong: "In this case, Chong'er, you can go for a trip." But promise to be a father, and be careful not to worry about your father. In addition, I would like to tell you again for my father, don't underestimate Lu Ren. This Lu Ren...... Even when he was still serving in Xu Du, his father often felt a little unable to see through him. And his abilities are even less known to his father now. All in all, you have to be careful, careful, and careful. ”

"No! The child must take it to heart. ”

It was getting dark, and Cao Chong, who had finished his conversation with Lao Cao, returned to his house. After driving the attendant out and closing the door, Cao Chong quietly raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat that still broke out in the cold winter of December.

"It's not easy! I finally came across such an opportunity, but if I couldn't say a word, my father would not have let me go to Yizhou. Tired, really tired! After all, my father is not such a fool. ”

After a long sigh of relief, he sat down on the couch again, but Cao Chong looked at the flickering lights in the room and was stunned. After a long time, Cao Chong sighed softly and said silently: "Father, the child knows that you love children very much, and even have the intention of letting the child inherit the great cause after a hundred years. But the father, the child, would rather the father think that the child is the same as the ordinary children......"

Cao Chong proposed to Lao Cao so much about going to Yizhou, did Cao Chong want to behave himself in front of Lao Cao, and then prepare for his future inheritance qualifications? Wrong! If the people who talked to Lao Cao today were Cao Pi, Cao Zhi or Cao Zhang, then they really wanted to behave and compete for favor in front of Lao Cao, but this was not the case with Cao Chong. And Cao Chong's purpose is not to show and compete for favor in front of Lao Cao, but to find a way out for himself in the future......
