Liu Xie looked at the discussion of the hundreds of officials under the court, and his eyes were unwavering.

Among these people, some are really thinking about the Han and making suggestions, while others are deliberately exaggerating and trying to muddy the waters.

Cao Cao is not stupid, he actually knows how to use me as a shield to solve his troubles.

Liu Xie saw through Cao Cao's intentions at a glance, and wanted to play this kind of trick in front of him, which was too tender.

However, seeing through and seeing through, Liu Xie did not break it, but hoped that Cao Cao could create more opportunities like this.

What he lacks now is the power of the Son of Heaven and his military exploits.

Although there is the emperor's spirit, it can only be to deter those mediocre civil and military officials, such as Cao Cao, who are unwilling to be ministers, and the role of the emperor's spirit is limited after all.

If you can personally take action to calm down the major princes in the world one by one, beat them to kneel, kowtow to the ministers, and show the prestige of the Han royal family.

Liu Xie was originally worried that after pacifying Liangzhou, Cao Cao would do everything possible to obstruct his next plan, but he didn't expect to give up the opportunity to the door now.

Rao is Cao Cao, no matter how treacherous he is, I am afraid he didn't expect that after working hard, he was actually making a wedding dress for the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xie was almost happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be embarrassed and looked at Cao Cao, "The prime minister is my minister of the Han Dynasty, he has always been loyal, worried about the country and the people, I don't know about this matter, how do you think about it?" ”

The more he pretended that there was no way, the more Cao Cao would inevitably exert pressure, urging Liu Xie to pacify Xuzhou.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xie's words fell, Cao Cao immediately stood up, coughed dryly, and cleared his throat.

The civil and military officials, who were originally discussing, immediately stopped their mouths when they saw this, and the court returned to quiet.

This is the momentum of the hero, without speaking, one action can silence the civil and military officials.

"Lu Bu invaded Yuzhou and plundered grain and grass, which is really hateful. The emperor only needs to allocate a team of men and horses, and then send a general to Xuzhou, Lu Bu will not dare to offend Tianwei, so he has to obediently return the grain and grass and bow down to the ministers. ”

Cao Cao was afraid that Liu Xie would not go to Xuzhou, so he deliberately made things very simple.

"What the prime minister said is very true, but the problem is that the Han royal family does not have a single soldier, where did this group of people come from, and please show the prime minister."

Liu Xie smiled in his heart, but he pretended to be embarrassed on his face, and deliberately deceived Cao Cao.

The meaning is obvious, that is, to ask Cao Cao to provide soldiers and horses.

This is simply a great thing, not only can recover Xuzhou, increase the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but also knock a bamboo pole from Cao Cao, and get some people to come.

It is not necessary to recruit troops and buy horses, and the ready-made ones can be used directly, and they are all elite soldiers, which is simply beautiful.

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

Cheng Yu on the side hurriedly looked at him secretly, for fear that the prime minister would hesitate and be reluctant to fight the soldiers.

It's a big deal to give the emperor tens of thousands of horses, but in exchange for regaining control of the Son of Heaven, controlling the major princes by the order of the Son of Heaven, when the time comes, the world will return to the heart, and it is not a problem how many people and horses you want.

Cao Cao weighed it in his heart for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Your Majesty, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the ministers, which can be provided to the imperial court, but this general is ...... the commander."

"The general who commands the army doesn't need to worry about the prime minister, I don't know how many tens of thousands of soldiers and horses the prime minister has in his hands?"

When Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others heard this, their hearts were suddenly overjoyed, the emperor was too tender after all, so they took the bait.

In their opinion, the meaning of Liu's evil words is already obvious, and it is obvious that he wants to drive the expedition again.

It's just that he didn't want to think about it, but this time he was facing Lu Bu, not Li Dao of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is just a strong cavalry in Xiliang, but the commander Li Dao is a wine bag and rice bag, so the emperor picked up a bargain and took Liangzhou.

But Lu Bu is different, Lu Bu has always been known for his bravery, in the past, the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, as a pioneer general, had one enemy and three in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, fighting Liu Guanzhang without falling behind, directly shocking the world.

It is even rumored that in order to resolve the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, Lu Bu once used a gasification arrow to shoot a small branch of Fang Tian's halberd that was neutral outside a hundred zhang.

Lu Bu is not only strong and strong, but he has already stepped into the Yuan Qi realm, and his skills are unfathomable.

It can be said that Xuzhou is a city, and Lu Bu is a mountain, and if you want to take the city of Xuzhou, you must first break through the mountain of Lu Bu.

If it weren't for that, how could Cao Cao tolerate Lu Bu occupying his side of the couch without removing it.

"There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the ministers."

"Wouldn't it be an old, weak, sick and disabled soldier again?" Liu Xiapi asked with a smile.

"No, no, no." Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Xie to ask so directly, and laughed again and again.

"How many troops are there in Xuzhou?"

"According to the detailed report, there are about 100,000 infantry and cavalry." Cheng Yu replied.

"30,000 beats 100,000, that's a bit less, right? Pingding Liangzhou, but 20,000 against 20,000. ”

Liu Xie deliberately pretended to be contemplative, but secretly noticed Cao Cao's reaction.

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, looking embarrassed.

The emperor is not very old, but his appetite is not small, and he still wants 100,000 soldiers and horses? Cao Cao's face instantly darkened.

At the cost of 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is better for him to personally command the soldiers and horses and attack Xuzhou.

You must know that he now has a total of more than 200,000 troops, which is equivalent to a reduction of half at once, and the loss is too great.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister's forces are really limited, if you want to gather 100,000 troops, I'm afraid it will take a while, but during this time, Lu Bu will harass Yuzhou and Yanzhou from time to time, damaging the foundation of the Han Dynasty and ruining the prestige of the Son of Heaven."

Cheng Yu played hard.

If the Son of Heaven insisted on asking for 100,000 troops before he was willing to go on the expedition, I am afraid that this battle would not be able to be fought.

"I don't need 100,000 troops, 50,000 troops, if the prime minister can get together, I will immediately order to go to Xuzhou."

50,000 troops, but it can be considered, Cheng Yu heard that there was a play, and hurriedly glanced at Cao Cao crazy.

"There are still some royal forest troops under the command of the minister, tigers and leopards, which were originally used to guard Xu Du, in this case, they can be handed over to the emperor to command, which is just enough for 50,000 troops."

Although Cao Cao responded, his heart was dripping blood.

These 50,000 troops were cultivated by him with countless efforts, and he said that he would give them away.

"The prime minister is worthy of being the pillar of my Han dynasty, and he really moved me, and he came to pass on my will, and rewarded the prime minister with fifty catties of gold and a thousand pieces of cloth."

Liu Xie got 50,000 soldiers and horses for no reason, and he was overjoyed and waved his sleeves.

Leng Shouguang hurriedly bowed forward, with a look of embarrassment, "Emperor Qi, the treasury has been empty for a long time, there is no penny in it, the palace is a degree, or is it given by the prime minister, what kind of reward?" ”

"Huh? Really? Liu Xie scratched his head, "Since this is the case, then let's owe it first, and when the treasury is full, we will come to reward it." ”

“……”

Cao Cao's face was black.

Take 50,000 horses in exchange for a blank slip?
