Chapter 164: Chapter Eighty-One Two Daughters of Gold (2)
Although Cao Cao knew that the gold could not fly away and would have to get it back sooner or later, he still felt unhappy. Compared with Chen Li's matter, gold was a trivial matter.
If Cao Cao didn't have any use for these guys, he would have taken them out and killed them long ago.
"Forget it, I can't blame you for this. Let's go down." Since Cao Cao wanted to keep them, he naturally left some room for them, waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Lord Sikong."[
Chen Xiong and the others were overjoyed when they heard this and immediately retreated.
After the three people left, there were only four people left in the hall: Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Chen Li.
Originally, these four people were one and the same, regardless of you or me, they all worked for the power of the Cao family. But after Liu Xie's strong political skills just now, they got mixed up.
Cao Cao knew that there could no longer be 100% harmony between him and Chen Li.
Chen Li is a person who is relatively efficient at work and has good abilities. He knows the position of Tai servant very well. Cao Cao does not want to replace him midway.
So the first thing that comes to mind is how to make up for it.
"Hey." Cao Cao sighed, then raised his head and said to Chen Li: "I'm afraid you still have some doubts in your heart now. I'll make it clear."
Chen Li nodded, he was really still confused until now.
"The prince is amassing money. I suspected that there was a secret conspiracy. So I sent those three people to investigate. If I found something, I would take the opportunity to make the fire bigger and lead it to Dong Cheng. But those three are useless." Cao Cao said again.
He sighed and told Chen Li the story of what Chen Xiong had just told him.
At the end of his speech, Cao Cao said sincerely to Chen Li: "It's not that I didn't save you just now. It's because I can't let you talk about this matter. If we break up on the spot, I can't settle it all at once, so Yuan Shao takes the opportunity to attack. I
The foundation we have built after more than ten years of fighting will soon collapse. I have no choice but to wrong you."
To be honest, what Cao Cao said was very sincere. There was no sophistry or anything like that, just objective analysis and his last resort.
If Chen Li was an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would understand. But Chen Li is a very utilitarian person, and he is naturally very upset about Cao Cao abandoning him just now.
heart.
On the face, Chen Li sighed and said: "Ming Gong also has no choice, I understand."
"That's good." Cao Cao also knew Chen Li's character and temper, and knew that the grudge still existed. It couldn't be made up for at once, but overdoing it would lead to some problems.
Therefore, Cao Cao knew that this was all he could do today. He should make up for the rest. So he said goodbye: "I'm going to take a step forward. You have to handle that sum of money well. Don't be stingy with the two thousand gold. Prince
not to be trifled."
"Promise." Chen Li promised.
Now even a fool can see that the prince is not easy to mess with. Even if Cao Cao didn't remind him, Chen Li would not make that mistake.
"Let's go." Cao Cao finally nodded to Chen Li, then turned to Cheng Yu, Xun Yu said and walked out.[
"In these troubled times, no one is reliable. What is reliable is strength. Although Liu Xie wooed me and was very sincere, his strength is really not as good as Cao Cao."
After Cao Cao and others left, Chen Li thought to himself.
After what happened just now, he hated Cao Cao in his heart and was slightly close to Liu Xie. However, his calm and utilitarian character still made Chen Li choose to join Cao Cao.
Unless, one day, the power situation completely changes.
Chen Li's eyes flashed, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "I guess there won't be any changes in this life."
This is not because Chen Li has no confidence in Liu Xie, but it is already a fact.
Cao Cao will always be on Liu Xie's head for the rest of his life, and Liu Xie will never be able to stand up again.
