Chapter 78 The Fishing Trio (at the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket and
"Lü Bu sent all his generals here?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yan knew that the other party must have extremely important news to convey, so he immediately took Cheng Yu to the room where Cao Cao was arranged to rest.
After knocking on the door and waiting for a while, the servant who had been watching all night opened the door from the inside with red eyes.
When the door opened, an unpleasant odor mixed with the smell of alcohol and various other smells rushed out. Lu Yan and Cheng Yu quickly covered their noses and waited until the smell dissipated before looking into the room.
At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly realized that the person who opened the door was a man. The corners of his eyes suddenly began to twitch back and forth, and he kept cursing in his heart: "I will never drink at Lu Yan's house in the future... He is so stingy that even the maid
I don’t even want to invite you. I don’t know if the master will have a shadow in his heart in the future. It’s too scary!”
Seeing that Cao Cao was still sleeping, Lu Yan ordered someone to make a bowl of sobering soup.
After Cao Cao drank the hangover soup and regained consciousness, Cheng Yu raised his hands and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, there is a letter from Chen Palace in Qingzhou, saying that I have a great gift for you!"
But Cao Cao didn't hear Cheng Yu's words clearly. He rubbed his head that was in severe pain after a hangover. He wanted to knock himself out again with a brick, "Ah, I feel like my head is about to split.
..”
Knowing that Cao Cao would have a headache due to a hangover, Lu Yan on the other side had already taken out the silver needle, sterilized it slightly by candlelight, and said to Cao Cao: "Mr. Cao, let me give you the acupuncture. You are in this state now."
But I can’t handle important matters.”
"Thank you, sir!" Cao Cao has already had several experiences as a guinea pig, and now he is not so resistant to Lu Yan's silver needle. The key is that it is really useful!
Half a quarter of an hour later, Cao Cao, who had a head full of silver needles, finally felt that his head was not hurting so much anymore.
He sat up with the help of the servant and said to Cheng Yu, "What did you just say?"
"Uh..." Cheng Yu was choked for a moment, and then he repeated it again: "A letter came from Chen Gong in Qingzhou, saying that he had a great gift for me!"
"Letter? Big gift? Chen Gong???" Cao Cao asked three times in a row, and then he laughed and said: "Haha...Chen Gongtai wishes that I would die suddenly, and he sent a letter and gift? Where is the letter? Let me see it."
Cheng Yu stood up and respectfully handed the intact letter to Cao Cao with both hands.'
After Cao Cao received the letter, he said "stab" without any politeness and roughly tore open the seal of the envelope.
Opening the letter, there were only a few words in the letter, but the content revealed in these words made Cao Cao completely sober.
After reading Chen Gong's letters again and again, Cao Cao felt that this matter was too serious to ignore, so he urgently summoned his close advisers to gather at the governor's mansion for discussion.
...
In the past, Lu Yan or Guo Jia would be the last to arrive at such meetings.
Today, Lu Yan, Guo Jia, Cao Cao and others arrived at the governor's mansion in advance. Today, he wanted to see, besides himself and Guo Jia, who would be the last person to arrive?
Xuchang is not too far from Chenliu. Before the agreed time in the afternoon, almost everyone had arrived.
Lu Yan kept looking at the door. When everyone arrived, he found that the last people to arrive were Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who had recently been recruited by Cao Cao as army commanders.
Jia Xu was dismissed from his official position after he left Li Jue and Guo Si. Later, he only joined Zhang Xiu as an aide, so he did not have any substantial official position when he surrendered to Cao Cao with Zhang Xiu.
When you first arrive, according to the current rules of Cao Ying, even if you are Jia Xu, you have to start from the grassroots level.
After everyone had arrived, Cao Cao picked up the letter in front of him and said: "Lü Bu's military advisor Chen Gong wrote a letter saying that there was civil strife in Xuzhou and Cao Bao usurped the throne. However, if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly. Cao Bao attacked the imperial officials. The imperial court can use this as a basis for crusade.
Don’t surrender.”
"Cao Bao captured Liu Bei's Xuzhou pastoral???"
Boss Cao's opening news was so exciting that even Lu Yan, who had no prior knowledge, was shocked by it, "Oh my God, how did this idiot Cao Bao capture Xuzhou?"
But then I thought, since it was Chen Gong who wrote the letter to tell them the news, Chen Gong's encouragement must be indispensable.
Everyone probably guessed the process. It was simply that Chen Gong secretly planned to help Cao Bao capture Xuzhou, and then used Cao Bao's rebellion as an excuse to let Cao Cao send troops to capture Xuzhou.
Cao Cao paused for a moment, and after his advisers digested the heavy news, he continued: "This is a great gift from Chen Gong. He hopes to exchange it for Lu Bu's family."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked around for a week, wanting to see who could give his thoughts first.
Guo Jia was still a little drunk at this time and seemed to have lost hope.
Xun Yu was well aware of Lu Yan's character. As Cao Cao's top think tank besides Lu Yan, he also had the highest official rank. Naturally, he was the first to speak, "I'm afraid Chen Gong's move has a deeper meaning."
Xi Zhicai, as Cao Cao's current instigator, also felt that Chen Gong could not be so kind.
Could Chen Gong give away a state and county for nothing just for the sake of his family? You know, when Chen Gong defected to the wanted Cao Cao, he had the intention of giving up his family.
Xun You and Cheng Yu did not speak, and Cao Cao finally set his sights on Jia Xu, the newest member.
Jia Xu was squinting his eyes at this moment, sitting at the last seat with the presence of the old god.
Looking at him like that, he is like a student sitting in the last row in college who doesn't want to listen to the class and wishes the teacher couldn't see him!
"Wen He, tell me, what else does Chen Gong have in mind?"
When Jia Xu heard that he was named, he lamented in his heart, "You have so many top advisers, why do you have to ask me?"
Lu Yan saw that besides himself and Guo Jia, the third person who dared to fish in front of Cao Cao suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in his heart. "After the meeting is over, do you want to call him?"
Let’s go have another drink with Fengxiao?”
"Chen Gong is a descendant of a famous family. When Lu Bu easily captured most of Yanzhou, he benefited from the help of the local gentry and gentry in Yanzhou." Jia Xu shut up after saying this, retracted his body, and began to close his eyes and meditate.
.
He only hit the point when he spoke, and did not finish all the information. He knew how to hide frustration.
In fact, almost all the counselors here have thought about this issue, but Xun Yu and Xun You were born into famous families. They knew Cao Cao's attitude towards the aristocratic family, so there were some things that they couldn't explain clearly.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?" Seeing that no one else spoke, Cao Cao asked Lu Yan.
The meaning is very clear. No one is more active and has more abundant methods to deal with the aristocratic family than you, Lu Yan. You have to stand up at the critical moment!
Lu Yan no longer evaded, raised his hands and said: "Chen Gong is well aware of Duke Cao's attitude towards the aristocratic family.
If Cao Gong takes Xuzhou into his pocket, he will definitely promote new systems and policies in Xuzhou, and will not take into account the interests and feelings of the local gentry and gentry.
It will definitely arouse resistance and even resistance among many people.”
At this point, Lu Yan suddenly asked, "Mr. Cao, will you compromise with them because of their resistance and resistance?"
