Cao Cao suddenly put down the wine bottle, and the smile on his face disappeared, and he said sadly: "Today, we are here roasting fire, drinking hot wine, and spending the festival happily. But I don't know if the emperor is in Anyi, can he have a happy life?"

After saying this, Cao Cao felt sad and shed a few tears in his sadness.

When everyone under the table saw that Cao Cao's expression was wrong, they couldn't help but look at each other and put down their knife and chopsticks one after another. The musicians next to the hall tactfully lowered the volume of the string tubes.

Cao Zhi, who was sitting with Cao Cao, leaned back and knew what his elder brother would perform next. In fact, when Cao Cao mentioned the "Son of Heaven", many of Cao Cao's advisers also understood Cao Cao's next topic.

But some generals, even Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, etc., who were very close to Cao Cao, did not know that in this cheerful atmosphere that had just been cultivated, what did Cao Cao suddenly mention about this person who had nothing to do with them?

After a moment, Cao Cao said quietly: "Since the emperor has appointed me as the governor of Yanzhou, then taking the emperor here and spending a few days of peace and prosperity is my duty as a minister..."

After Cao Cao said that, his eyes were bright and he slipped around everyone's face. What Cao Cao implied was actually very obvious, but unfortunately, his words did not cause a warm response.

Cao Zhi's counselors and military generals were limited, and most of them were Cao Cao's civil servants and military generals. From the response just now, it was not difficult for Cao Zhi to see the indifference of the civil servants and military generals under Cao Cao's tent to take this matter.

After a while of silence, Xiahou Yuan stood up first, and he said to Cao Cao: "The three tribes of Zhang Miao have been newly eliminated, and Lu Bu is still occupying Puyang, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are eyeing us. The lord needs to consider the welcome matter carefully!"

As soon as Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, Xiahou Dun, who was extremely loyal to Cao Cao, was slightly upright, and rolled his eyes with the intention of drinking, and intermittently talked about the truth of his parents-in-law and his young daughter-in-law. There was only one meaning. He thought that their lives were quite easy now, and there was no need to get someone to take care of them. Such things were thankless.

Xiahou Dun's words immediately attracted a lot of agreement from the generals under Cao Cao's corps. Everyone had the same meaning. But this opinion was relatively concentrated on the military generals. Cao Cao's advisers were relatively calm and temporarily took the opportunity to observe the wall on this issue.

When Cao Cao heard the opposition from the generals, he felt that he was not right, but he was unwilling to admit it like this. The generals' statements made some sense. Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and other confidant generals even knew that the emperor was arranged by Cao Zhi in Anyi. That would be great. Let him stay there. When he has time and money, he would send someone to see him.

Cao Cao saw that everyone was not interested in this matter and knew that today was not the time to discuss the matter, so he had to discuss it another day. So he prepared to change the topic and talk about other matters. When Cao Cao thought so, when he picked up the wine bottle again, the sound of firecrackers outside the hall seemed to be gone.

Just as Cao Cao was in an awkward situation, Cao Zhi was thinking about how to stand up and guide the topic and let these generals understand the benefits of welcome, Xun Yu suddenly stood up from the mat, as if he had something to say.

Cao Cao and Cao Zhi both had their eyes lit up. Xun Yu was known as the "talent of the king and the assistants" in the world. He must have had extraordinary insights on the matter of "welcoming the emperor".

So, Cao Cao couldn't wait to ask: "Wenruo, what do you think about this?"

"I think the two generals Xiahou's views are quite reasonable!"

Cao Cao almost fell from the main position and said to himself: "Good you Xun Yu, you are also called "the talent of the king and the master"? He was making a mess with me with a bunch of generals!"

When Cao Cao was indifferent to Xun Yu's words, Cao Zhi reached out and held Cao Cao's gesture of announcing the end of the banquet, nodded heavily and signaled Cao Cao to listen again.

Cao Cao also felt that he was a little more impulsive, and that was extremely impolite to Xun Yu. After being stopped by Cao Zhi, he just held the mood of listening for a while and silently watched Xun Yu's words and deeds.

Xun Yu was obviously grateful for the opportunity Cao Zhi had won for him. After nodding to the throne, he slowly said: "The Han Dynasty has been declining for a long time. The lord has indeed had many difficulties in trying to sort out the rivers and mountains. At present, all heroes are standing together, each with strong troops. It is said that 'The deer is destroyed by Qin, the king will be the first to win the world. In fact, everyone's chance to conquer the world fairly has come. If the emperor is invited to Yanzhou, any reason in the future should be asked for instructions, let alone, over time, the money and food required for a long time will be a little more cost-effective..." However, after Xun Yu paused a little, the topic of the conversation began to change, "However, to welcome the emperor, this matter is in line with the righteousness of the world. We must say it.

The benefits and interests in this are probably so great that you can't imagine. Look at the current state governors and governors, although they are all in the name of serving the king, few people really take the emperor and the court to heart. Only lord, you, the internal affairs of Yanzhou are still unstable, and you think about the emperor and the court, and always want to welcome the emperor and support the Han Dynasty. This is a major plan that is in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people! Who will not support the real emperor? What's more, once this plan is successful, the lord can 'use the emperor to command the princes' and use the right name to attack the rebels and kill the rebels. lord, the lord, the welcoming matter, and the subordinates think that they must not miss it, and the lord should implement it early!"

This was exactly what Cao Cao thought, and even Cao Zhi almost didn't applaud him. Xun Yu's words could definitely be recorded in history. It is obvious that as a strategist, Xun Yu's vision was very long-term and he calculated a big stake for Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun and other generals only focused on some small profits in front of him. In fact, those who are more important and less important are clear at first sight, but the generals under Cao Cao's tent still sneered at Xun Yu's views and looked "unagreeable", so Cao Cao was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

But at this time, Cao Zhi helped Cao Cao, and he only slapped the table and shouted: "The heroes' views are similar. Wen Ruo's plan is similar to Mao Jie. Mao's 'respecting the emperor to order the emperor to despise the minister', which is similar to Mao's work. Wen Ruo continues to talk about it!"

Xun Yu was somewhat embarrassed and disappointed because he did not receive Cao Cao's approval and support, but Cao Zhi's statement gave him the opportunity to extend the topic.

Xun Yu stepped on the meeting and walked into the court, talking happily: "In the past, Wen of Jin and Zhou, the princes followed Jing, Emperor Gaozu attacked the east and became the emperor of Yi, and the world was returned to his heart. Since the emperor spread the word, the general sang Yi soldiers first, and was disturbed by Shandong and could not go to the right of the pass. However, he still sent generals and generals to be in danger. Although the difficulties were beyond the control, the world was in the royal family. This was the general's ambition to relied on the world. Now the carriage was driven by the chariot, and the Tokyo was in a state of justice. He was very proud of his moral character, and he was a great virtue. Although there were rebellious rules in the world, he would not be burdened. It was clear. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng dared to harm him! If he had been determined from time to time, he would have thought about it, and he would not have reached the end!"

Xun Yu's heart-warming lyrics are even more exciting than just now. The lyrics quote the allusion of Duke Wen of Jin accepting the troubled King Xiang of Zhou and Liu Bang wearing white clothes for Emperor Yi. These two are famous historical examples that are very popular. Cao Cao was so comfortable after hearing Xun Yu's lyrics, especially those "big and smooth", "big rules" and "big virtues", which made him smile and said to himself: "This is a far-sighted and judging the situation! Xun Wenruo, you are truly a well-deserved "talent of the king and the assistant".

Xun Yu's words are actually thought-provoking. Now all the heroes in the world focus on "local advantage" that is, fighting for territory, and ignoring imperial power and the emperor. Indeed, when the emperor's name is not true, it is normal for most people to have this more pragmatic attitude. But they all ignore one thing - "human heart". As Xun Yu expressed, no matter how the heroes ignore this emperor who is not true, the emperor is still the people of the world, and the people only recognize the emperor. Whoever can "super (or control)" the emperor can win the will of the people in the world, which is equivalent to winning the world.

When Cao Cao laughed and praised Xun Yu, Cao Zhi had to re-examine this person, a strategist who had a virtue and a forbearance with Jia Xu. He thought to himself: "These guys who can tolerate are all capable people, with big things hidden in their belly. No wonder these people can be famous for the eternal age. It is difficult for the eldest brother to get help from someone like Xun Yu, and it will be impossible!"

In fact, Cao Zhi understood these theories that he could see the many benefits of Emperor Feng one step earlier than here, because he foresaw history and had deep-rooted thoughts that he should do so. But what really made him realize the necessity and true meaning of "welcoming the emperor" like a mirror was after Xun Yu's words.

Cao Zhi's heart was like a calm lake, and a stone was thrown away by someone. The ripples were spreading layer by layer, affecting his entire thoughts. Cao Zhi even began to be a little jealous of Cao Cao having such a good strategist. Jia Xu, Deng Ai and others around Cao Zhi also had different expressions on their faces after Xun Yu's generous speech. Even Cao Cao's team's strategist were moved.

However, civil officials and military officials who belonged to Cao Cao's royal family still opposed Xun Yu's statement. Seeing that the opponents in his team still accounted for the vast majority, Cao Cao did not make a final decision. This matter was pressed and allowed to change slowly in the future. It is not so easy to change an idea or a piece of thought, and it takes time to cleanse it.

"I'll talk about this today. Come on, let's have another drink!"

Cao Cao suppressed the impulse and raised his bottle to take advantage of this banquet.

######## It was night, and Cao Zhi was still standing on Zhang Miao's favorite terrace, enjoying the snow scene that had been falling for several days.

He experienced the three tribes of Yi, Zhang and Miao today. After Xun Yu's generous speech, his mood was still difficult to calm down. After having a secret discussion with Cao Cao just now, he was even more excited when he came back. He, who originally wanted to marry two more wives under Cao Cao's protection and be a playboy for life, suddenly felt that he still had so many things to think about and so many things waiting for him to do.
