Chapter 8: Cao Cao's Counterattack
Cao Cao spoke......
Even if Xun Yu was unwilling, there was no room for refutation at the moment, he looked at the high-spirited and triumphant Lu Bu, and suddenly felt angry.
However, before Xun Yu straightened out the depression in his heart, another person came out.
"Your Majesty, in the process of purging Li Dao Guo Yan, General Wang Wei made great efforts! From the minister's point of view, General Wang's soldiers and horses are strong, and General Wang himself has strong military talents, and he is better at training soldiers. ”
Cao Cao was stunned at the time......
He looked up at Wang Wei and Lu Bu suddenly, but saw that Wang Wei had surprise on his face, but Lu Bu's expression was normal.
So, what is this Wang Wei acting...... Or is he unaware of it?
Well, Cao Cao thinks it's the former.
But alas, he has no evidence...... Maybe many things don't need to rely on evidence, but with the identities of Wang Wei and Cao Cao, this relationship between the two ...... It is very important to be reasonable.
"What does Aiqing mean?"
Liu Xie pretended not to know and asked, but he heard the person who opened his mouth say aloud.
"The minister thinks that General Wang's talent and being the general of my Han family are really suitable!"
"This must not happen!"
It was only at this moment that Cao Cao raised his objection for the first time.
Unconsciously, Cao Cao was already shocked into a cold sweat.
It was only now that Lao Cao Fang realized Wang Wei and Lu Bu's true intentions!
One should be a great Sima to balance his political power, and the other should be a general to balance his military strength...... If Wang Wei is really allowed to be this general, the relationship between the two will not only come to an end, but Wang Wei's people will be uncontrollable!
Think about it, Wang Wei was in the later stage of Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao had already begun to guard against Wang Wei and reduce the supply of troops to Wang Wei, and now if Wang Wei served as the general of the imperial court, then he could justifiably recruit troops, and even justifiably insert his hand into his own army!
And in troubled times, the army is the lifeline!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, a large number of powerful people came out of the ranks, and they all knelt down in front of Liu Xie and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please be gracious!"
"Your Majesty, please be gracious!"
Unity is strength......
No, it should be said that the whole audience is actors!
What's more, Wang Wei also opened up Liu Xie's relationship.
Facing Cao Cao's eyes that wanted to kill, Wang Weiden shook his head and said.
"How can he be a minister, he can serve as a general of the imperial court!"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.
This time, he really couldn't understand it......
In the current situation, as long as Wang Wei nods, this general position must be his, and he can't run at all. But in this case, Cao Cao could not agree!
He just let Wang Wei go...... Do you really want to watch Wang Wei put his hand into his army? No way! Even Cao Cao made a ruthless decision - once Wang Wei dared to agree, he would turn his face on the spot and make a big fuss in Weiyang Palace!
I am not good! Don't think about it, everyone!
Originally, Cao Cao came to Chang'an this time to reap benefits...... As a result, he got the title of prime minister, but he gave up his army to others...... Isn't this a joke with me?
But Wang Wei's actions made Cao Cao's heart beat a drum.
Until Liu Xie spoke again.
"In fact, I also feel that with General Wang's ability, it is more than enough to serve as a general of the imperial court, General Wang is good at commanding troops, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will definitely be able to shine in the hands of General Wang. What's more, General Wang is Prime Minister Cao's person, and if you lead Prime Minister Cao's army, the resistance will be smaller......"
This is not what Wang Wei taught Liu Xie to say.
It's what Liu Xie wants to say......
He wants to strip Cao Cao of his military power!
This little emperor has gone through so many hardships, and he can be seen by now - whoever has soldiers in his hands is the uncle, and what emperor is the prime minister...... It's all false......
Liu Xie's words made Wang Wei PY nervous.
He hates actors who add lines to him the most......
"Please General Wang be the general of the imperial court!"
"General Wang, please ......"
The ministers drank again, Wang Wei saw that Cao Cao's face was blue and white for a while, and finally turned into a purple red that was close to rage, and as a last resort, Wang Wei quickly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the position of a general can be held below......
Lao Cao wants to draw his sword......
Wang Wei's words turned again.
"However, the minister thinks that the authority of the general is too great, which is not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the world, and the minister believes that the military power should be divided into three parts, and the prime minister, the general, and the great Sima are jointly in charge."
To put it bluntly, this proposal is to tell Cao Cao and Lu Bu, who now have soldiers-our own soldiers are still our own, and no one should touch anyone's family background......
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's face immediately improved a lot.
Wang Wei quietly gave Lu Bu a look, but saw Lu Bu striding forward and said respectfully.
"General Wang's words are reasonable!"
"What does the Prime Minister think?"
Liu Xie spoke again and looked at Cao Cao, and Lao Cao's face turned pale for a while, and after quickly assessing the situation, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes!"
released Wang Wei, left his military power, and got a high position as a prime minister, and also completed the big plan of holding the Son of Heaven hostage in advance.
But thanks to Wang Wei......
Whether it is a profit or a loss, Cao Cao can't understand it at this moment......
But after thinking about it briefly, Cao Cao also calmed down.
That can't be counted......
Since Wang Wei has a rebellion, it is only a matter of time before he betrays his own camp - Wang Wei's betrayal can only be regarded as an inevitability, not a bargaining chip for making losses in this matter......
Seeing Cao Cao nodding, Wang Weiden breathed a sigh of relief.
made self-reliance an established fact, and although the relationship with Lao Cao was stiff, he did not turn his face in person......
And if you don't turn your face, it's a good thing! After paying this price, he can be independent, and Wang Wei thinks that he is not a loser.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was peaceful, Cao Cao came out again.
Facing everyone's eyes, Cao Cao opened his mouth......
"Xuzhou...... Well, the matter of Xuzhou will be discussed later, and now, I have something to ask Your Majesty. ”
"Prime Minister, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Three days ago, Yuan Shu got the jade seal, according to the secret agent under the minister's command, Yuan Shu may have the intention of being the emperor...... Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yuan Shu's heart has been revealed! It is better to order General Wang Wei to lead the elite soldiers and strong generals, go to Shouchun, and confront Yuan Shu! If Yuan Shu is attached to the imperial court, relieves his military power, and hands over the jade seal, it will naturally prove that Yuan Shu is still a loyal minister of the Han family, otherwise, ......"
Wang Weideng's eyes narrowed!
This is Cao Cao's counterattack!
Power corresponds to obligation...... Since Wang Wei has received the rights of the general, he naturally has to fulfill the corresponding obligations - and it is the responsibility of the general to clean up the rebellion.
But that TMD is Yuan Shu!
There are a number of princes in the world! You asked me to confront Yuan Shu...... Isn't it just cursing me to die on the spot?
