Chapter 386: Conspiracy
"As a general of Wu Guo, you dare to come to Xuzhou City alone, I really admire it."
In the secret room, Cao Bao looked at the taciturn man in front of him, his eyes flashed with a touch of admiration and jealousy, for this person is obviously a general of Wu State, but he dares to sneak into Xuzhou City alone, Cao Bao of course admires, but as long as he thinks that if he is himself, he may not be able to do it, Cao Bao's heart is full of jealousy and anger.
"Don't talk nonsense, the purpose of my coming here today, you also know first, what do you think of the conditions offered by my king, do you agree?"
Zhou Tai, who had already become one of the generals of Wu State, looked at Cao Bao in front of him, and a very slight disgust flashed in his eyes, if it weren't for the orders of Sun Jian, the king of Wu, and Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, Zhou Tai didn't want to contact a person like Cao Bao at all.
Zhou Tai's disgust was well hidden, and Cao Bao's mind at this time was on the conditions that Sun Jian had opened, so he didn't notice it, but squinted his eyes, and said with greed: "For the conditions offered by King Wu, although I am excited, you should also know that I, Cao Bao, am not alone, but there is a huge family head behind me, just relying on those, it is a little too worthless, right?" ”
"So what do you want?"
Opening his eyes, Cao Bao looked directly at Zhou Tai, whose expression had not changed in front of him, and said with a greedy look: "I can help King Wu and welcome the army of Wu into Xuzhou, as long as King Wu promises me that after the army of Wu enters Xuzhou, let me Cao Bao become the Taishou of Xuzhou City, and let some of the people in my family serve as local officials in Xuzhou!" ”
"You want to cut off Xuzhou?!"
Zhou Tai's voice suddenly sank, and his face became unsightly, if Cao Bao agreed to this condition, wouldn't he Cao Bao and his family become the soil emperor of Xuzhou?!
"Of course not, I, Cao Bao, have self-knowledge, and understand that today, if I want to divide one side, it is still impossible, what I really want is to make my Cao Bao's family head the first family in Xuzhou!"
Divide one side, call the king and hegemon, don't say that Cao Bao doesn't have this mind at all, even if he does, there is no soil for breeding warlords today, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, when today has gone from the most open to the chaos of the princes, into the strife of the countries, it is obviously impossible to become a warlord of the secession side under the eyes of the countries.
Cao Bao's idea is very simple, he not only wants to become the Taishou of Xuzhou and win this thing he has always wanted, but also wants his family to become the first family in Xuzhou, as long as these two conditions are met, then it doesn't matter who rules Xuzhou at all.
However, what Cao Bao said was good, but in Zhou Tai's ears, whether it was to make his family the first family in Xuzhou, or other explanations, Cao Bao's statement was obviously to divide one side and make him the emperor of Xuzhou.
For this, Zhou Tai originally wanted to leave directly, but when he thought of Sun Jian and Zhou Yu's instructions before leaving, asking himself to make Cao Bao agree to become an internal response, he had to suppress the grievances and anger in his heart, and looked at Cao Bao with a somewhat cold gaze and said: "Okay, I agreed to your conditions instead of the king, but I also want to know, when will you be able to achieve my country's wishes?" ”
Hearing that Zhou Tai agreed, the ecstasy in Cao Bao's eyes flashed and said: "As long as your army is in the city, I will encourage the soldiers in the city who are still loyal to me, open the city gate, and welcome your army into the city!" ”
Cao Bao is not afraid that Sun Jian will regret it at that time, as long as he Sun Jian is still determined to be in the world, it is impossible for such a trick to happen first, so Cao Bao agreed very simply.
What's more, for Xiahoudun's patience, Cao Bao also couldn't stand it, thinking of Xiahoudun guarding Xuzhou, Cao Bao's eyes became cold and resentful, in his opinion, if it weren't for Xiahoudun in Xuzhou, he would have been able to turn Xuzhou into his own territory.
At the same time, for Cao Cao, who is "not divided between rewards and punishments", now Emperor Wei, Cao Bao's heart is also full of resentment and anger, in his opinion, if it wasn't for himself, how could he Cao Cao enter Xuzhou so easily, after entering Xuzhou, not only did not reward him, but let Xiahoudun replace himself, this is simply a faint monarch who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, for such a faint monarch, Cao Bao thinks that he does not have to be loyal to it at all.
Just when Cao Bao and Zhou Tai in Xuzhou reached an agreement, in the construction of the capital of Wu in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu, who was the governor of Wu State, and a lupine scarf, after Liu Qi's recommendation, was sent here by Liu Biao to discuss the attack on Cao Cao by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and Zhang Song sent by Liu Zhang all gathered together.
Zhou Yu, as the master, looked around at the people present, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, the purpose of the governor of Pontus to let you come here, I want you to know that Cao Cao killed the Son of Heaven and usurped orthodoxy, this is a rebel, when today, the people are panicked and orthodoxy has fallen, so I should wait and support it again, so that the subjects of the world can live and work in peace and contentment again!" ”
"What the governor said is good, but there is one point, but it is wrong, my country is the line of Emperor Ling, the orthodox children of the royal family, and now I am the emperor in the city, and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty has been re-supported, and the battle for orthodoxy does not need to be said again."
After Zhang Song's words fell, he glanced at Zhuge Liang on the side, with undisguised disgust and malice in his eyes, for this, Zhuge Liang also smiled lightly: "I am the uncle of the deceased Son of Heaven, and his bloodline is undoubted, plus I am the emperor of His Majesty in Xiangyang, orthodox, it should be in the hands of my Majesty, however, the tide has come in recent days, is it not the dispute of orthodoxy, but for the pseudo-emperor Cao Cao, I don't know what Ziqiao thinks is right?" ”
Compared with Zhang Song, Zhuge Liang attaches the same importance to the orthodox dispute in his heart, but he knows better that before Cao Cao is resolved, the orthodox dispute will only make himself waste of strength, so he changed the topic after a short announcement of the correctness of the orthodoxy where his side is located.
Zhang Song, who knew that he was forced to speak by Zhuge Liang, snorted coldly and didn't say anything more, and Zhou Yu, who had been watching coldly on the sidelines, stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Everyone, no matter who the orthodoxy is, but now the goal of the three kingdoms is the same, that is, to eliminate the puppet emperor Cao Cao!"
