Chapter 177: Chapter 88: Cao Cao Stretches Out His Dog's Claw (1)
Chapter 88 Cao Cao stretches out his dog paw
Cao Cao did not notice that this important minister who was originally loyal and supportive of his cause had begun to lean towards the Han Dynasty, and he was still completely determined.
But Xun You noticed.
Xun You looks dull on the outside, but is actually very wise and foolish. He saw Xun Yu helping Liu Feng twice. Although in name it seemed that he wanted to destroy Liu Feng after the war, in reality, he helped the current Liu Feng.[
It seems to be planning something. And it may be the time for Yuan Cao to fight.
Because Xun You knew Xun Yu, he thought a lot and had a fleeting worry in his heart. Xun You and Xun Yu were called uncles and nephews, but in fact they felt like brothers.
Xun You cared about Xun Yu very much, and because he was close to Xun Yu, although the two had different priorities, Xun Yu was more suitable to be a prime minister like Xiao He, while Xun You was a strategist like Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
But their political stances are consistent.
For example, Xun You also supported the Han Dynasty in his early years and once planned to kill Dong Zhuo. However, that time failed. Xun You was imprisoned and almost died.
Later, the world further collapsed. Although Xun You was also interested in the Han Dynasty, he calmly eliminated it. Unlike Xun Yu, who was somewhat emotional and had some illusions about the Han Dynasty.
However, although Xun You no longer had illusions about the Han Dynasty, he was not loyal to the Cao family. Xun You's position was similar to Jia Xu's. He was just protecting himself in troubled times, and there was no question of who he was loyal to.
Xun You had never met Liu Feng and did not know how capable Liu Feng was. He only made his judgment based on the current power between the Emperor and Cao Cao.
If Liu Xie acted rashly, he would definitely lose his troops. There was absolutely no possibility of victory. He didn't know why Xun Yu was so impulsive and actually started to help Liu Xie, Liu Feng and his father and son.
Because he was worried about Xun Yu, Xun You had the impulse to expose this. However, Xun You finally put an end to this impulsive idea.
If it is exposed, where will Xun Yu be found?
Maybe Cao Cao will let Xun Yu go, but he will do nothing from now on.
Therefore, in the end, Xun You just sighed slightly in his heart and began to watch.
"Wen Ruo's words are wrong. It is precisely because the battle with Yuan Shao is about to begin that we need to further accumulate strength. The money obtained from selling the prince is not the palace tax. Even in October, it is only twelve thousand gold. This
It is possible to gather a hundred thousand gold worth of wealth in a short period of time. How many more soldiers can be recruited with a hundred thousand gold worth of wealth? How many armors can be forged? How many war horses can be purchased?"
Cheng Yu had a good personal relationship with Xun Yu, but he had a rather violent temperament and sometimes spoke very disrespectfully. When he saw Xun Yu making a mistake, he couldn't help but speak loudly.
"Zhongde is right, the value of one hundred thousand gold can no longer be measured simply. The reason why we must unite is because we are ready to fight Yuan Shao. Because Yuan Shao is powerful, we must unite everyone
Strength. But one hundred thousand gold is enough for us to improve our strength by a large margin. To a certain extent, it is more practical than uniting the emperor."
Chen Qun agreed with Cheng Yu's judgment and spoke loudly.
Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Indeed, uniting the emperor would have a huge political advantage, and gathering these 100,000 gold would have a huge effect on current interests.
