Cao Cao had a headache. No, it seemed to be more painful than before. This man really refreshed others' perceptions of him time and time again.
Cao Cao still remembers that when he first met Chu Nan, he felt that Chu Nan was a sharp-tongued person, but he was just a talent, a small talent that could be useful at a certain time.
Later, I went to take a test in person, but found that this guy's knowledge was mediocre, and he was a villain who only knew how to pursue profit. His ability may only be his mouth, but he has no reputation and no background. His sharp mouth is probably
It can't be put on the stage.
But it became a little uncomfortable after that. This was when Cao Cao gradually realized that this person was behind the battle of Nanyang, and he felt in his heart that this person was a despicable person!
Then the whole plan for Xuzhou was declared to have failed with the complete destruction of the Chen family. This man was the culprit of all this, the initiator of the New Deal. The situation in the world also turned into chaos with the New Deal he launched.
Lu Bu even used this person's name to destroy the Chen family, and as the main promoter of Xuzhou's New Deal, Chu Nan killed people and really left no way out, but this also allowed Lu Bu to quickly solidify his foundation in Xuzhou.
Cao Cao thought carefully about Chu Nan's method. It was indeed simple and effective. However, most princes could not play like this. It would kill themselves. After all, not all princes' subordinates were as poor and simple as Lu Bu's subordinates.
Among Lu Bu's direct descendants, the one with the best background was probably Zhang Liao, but he was just the son of the Yanmen guard. He was a young powerful man from Yanmen and was also the target of the New Deal. Chu Nan's positioning of the people he wanted to win over was really accurate.
Incomparable.
By this time, Chu Nan's position in Cao Cao's heart had risen to the level of a threat, and it was no small threat.
But now it is more than just a threat. He first killed the two generals Xiahou Dun and Cai Yang, defeated Runan, and then joined forces with Lu Bu to kill the three Liu Bei brothers.
Cao Cao discovered that if he could not get rid of this person, there was a great possibility that he would be killed by Lu Bu. A person who could seek good fortune and avoid evil was not stupid. The most important thing was that he was always by Lu Bu's side and was devoted to assisting Lu Bu. He was also trusted by Lu Bu.
, this is also a perfect combination in Cao Cao's opinion. After all, Cao Cao doesn't dare to trust anyone wholeheartedly, but Lu Bu, that reckless man, can. Why? Why doesn't he have such a son-in-law? No, son!
The relationship between the two parties, which Cao Cao envied, also meant that any threat to Lu Bu would be detected by Lu Bu in advance.
If you want to defeat Lu Bu, it seems that the only way is to defeat him head-on.
But the positive side!
Cao Cao suddenly felt that his headache became more serious. It was not impossible. In the Battle of Puyang, he defeated Lu Bu head-on. But even if he defeated Lu Bu head-on, it would be difficult to kill him. He could make a comeback, but he had to be on guard at all times.
"Lord, let's talk peace!" Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said this abruptly.
"Peace talks?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and frowned slightly.
"With Chu Nan at Lu Bu's side, it is difficult to win this battle. No matter what method is used at this time, it is difficult to defeat Lu Bu. There is not enough time, and Lu Bu is in great power at this time. We must avoid his edge first. Peace talks are the best outcome, and also
The best choice." Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and said seriously.
Cao Cao nodded silently. Although he didn't want to admit it, with Chu Nan's ability to change Tai, he really felt that he had no way to deal with Lu Bu. Without peace talks, the most optimistic outcome would be for both sides to lose. Lu Bu would retreat to Xuzhou, leaving behind a mess on the ground.
The Central Plains, just like when he failed to capture Xuzhou, he left Xuzhou in a mess for Liu Bei and others to eat scraps.
Although the losses in the peace talks are not small, and there must be blood, or heavy blood, it can at least preserve the vitality of the Central Plains and allow oneself to build up strength again.
"Fengxiao said peace talks, shouldn't they just be peace talks?" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia suspiciously. Talking to Lu Bu for peace was a helpless move, but based on his understanding of Guo Jia, he shouldn't give in so easily.
"Zhongde knows me!" Guo Jia said with a smile, stroking his hands: "Although Lu Bu is strong, he is not unstoppable, but now he seems to be invincible. Why?"
"Chun Nan!" When Cao Cao said these two words, his words were full of helplessness. Although he didn't want to admit that he was mistaken, the seemingly ordinary little businessman in the past had now grown up enough to threaten him.
Whether he admits it or not, he has gone astray.
"Exactly!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lü Bu and Chu Nan, as long as these two are together, no one can resist them. Even if Chen Gong is now a great scholar, he is far less important to Lu Bu than Chu Nan.
, It’s not because of lack of ability, but because Lu Bu believes in this person more. As long as we can have peace talks with Lu Bu, we will try to separate these two people!"
"How to separate them?" An unnamed counselor under the tent asked with a frown. The relationship between the two people was so close, how to separate them?
"This matter is not difficult." Zhong Yao said before Guo Jia could say anything. He was obviously quite knowledgeable in this regard, and he explained the biggest problem between Chu Nan and Lu Bu in one sentence: "The reason why Lu Bu and Chu Nan get along is
Yes, that’s why the two of them are like a son-in-law, and also because Lu Bu has no children!”
Everyone looked at Zhong Yao. They seemed to have caught something key, but they didn't seem to have fully grasped it. Except for Cao Cao and his four advisers, everyone else was scratching their heads and scratching their heads.
"Lü Bu has no children, so he has no precautions against Chu Nan's son-in-law, and they fall in love with each other. Naturally, a monarch and his subjects are compatible. However, if Lü Bu had a son, do you think he would still listen to Chu Nan's advice?" Zhong Yao asked the crowd with a smile.
.
Without a son, the family property will belong to the daughter in the future, which is equivalent to Chu Nan's son-in-law. Therefore, Chu Nan is Lu Bu's hope in the future. That's why Lu Bu trusts Chu Nan so much. But what will happen if he has a son?
There is no need to think too much about this. No matter how much Lu Bu trusts Chu Nan, once he has a son, he will unconsciously start to guard against Chu Nan for the sake of his son's future. No matter whether the son is as good as Chu Nan or not, the biological will always be the biological.
, this is the same no matter who you are.
"It's just that Lu Bu has no shortage of wives and concubines. He has only had one daughter in these many years. I'm afraid..." The unknown counselor didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already obvious. Lu Bu might not be able to give birth to a son, so your plan doesn't work.
Na.
Zhong Yao smiled calmly and said: "What's so difficult about this? Just because Lu Bu can't give birth to a son, it doesn't mean that a woman can't have children. As long as you send a few beautiful and pregnant women to Lu Bu, you'll always have a son!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded in agreement. This plan was very clever.
"As for Lu Bu, the main thing is to appease him. Don't fight with him in the future. Sikong can do his best to treat him, and even lend his strength to pacify the princes of all parties. After Sikong conquers the world, defeat him with the power of the world.
Even if Lu Bu is the overlord alive, he may not be able to escape death!" Zhong Yao continued to tell everyone about his strategy.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded. This strategy is feasible. Since he can't defeat Lu Bu, it's better to destroy him with wine, sex and wealth. Since ancient times, haven't there been many people destroyed by these four things? Lu Bu... is a mortal after all.
You can't escape the temptation of wine, sex and wealth, and you have your weaknesses after all.
"But..." A trace of disgust flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. He raised his head and took a sip of wine and asked, "Lu Bu has his own stunning women around him. It's probably not easy to find a woman who is enough to make Lu Bu's heart beat but who also happens to be pregnant."
The most well-known woman of Lu Bu is probably Diao Chan. Although Guo Jia has never seen her, he also knows that this woman was extremely beautiful when she was in Chang'an. With such a woman by his side, he wants to seduce Lu Bu through sex.
, not easy.
Zhong Yao smiled and said: "I happen to have a concubine who is very beautiful. She was pregnant a few days ago, but I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl."
"Sikong, I also have a concubine..." As soon as Zhong Yao finished speaking, several officials' eyes lit up, as if they had thought of something, and they all looked at Cao Cao to recommend themselves to be beautiful women.
Recommending your woman to sleep with another man does seem a bit absurd, but as long as you find the interests involved in anything, you can clearly see the logic behind many seemingly absurd things.
If Lu Bu's son is actually his own bloodline, in addition to dividing the relationship between Lu Bu and his son-in-law, he can also obtain tangible benefits from Lu Bu by sending women, such as farming, earth dragons, Xuzhou silk, and ready-made clothes.
Finally, it is a high-quality product that can withstand swords and is very gorgeous.
Putting aside the position, today's Xuzhou is really a treasure trove under Lu Bu's governance. Since peace talks are going to take place, Xuzhou may not be taken back for a long time in the future. Then how will Xuzhou's interests be obtained?
?This is a good way.
In the face of great interests, what do a few concubines mean?
"This matter is not urgent. Let's stabilize Lu Bu first. I wonder who is willing to go and have peace talks with Lu Bu?" Cao Cao waved his hand. How could he not know what these people were thinking, but it would be okay with a few more people.
As long as one of the choices is successful, the love between Lu Bu and Chu Nan as son-in-law will be over, and they will gradually start to drift apart.
But the first priority now is to stop the war first. Cao Cao doesn't want to waste any more time with Lu Bu. He can't afford it.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Guo Jia silently looked at each other and turned his attention to Zhong Yao. Xun Yu and Xun You saw their actions and subconsciously looked at Zhong Yao.
Cao Cao also looked at Zhong Yao, and then other people in the tent also looked at Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao: "..."
Whoever comes up with the solution will do the work. This seems to be an unwritten rule. No one has said it, but it is applicable everywhere. Compared to Guo Jia, Zhong Yao is obviously an honest person. He really can't hide his face when facing everyone's gaze.
He could only bow and say: "If Sikong doesn't give up, I'm willing to go."
Although he just escaped from there and is a little nervous to go back now, since the two armies are fighting without killing the envoys, Lu Bu is still relatively abiding by the rules in this regard, so he should be fine.
"Then I'll trouble Yuan Chang to go and I'll send some guards to go with you." Cao Cao nodded. He was not sure whether Lu Bu would kill people, so he didn't send any generals and directly gave some guards. If Lu Bu didn't kill people, he would
It doesn't matter who you send. If Lu Bu wants to kill him, it doesn't matter who you send.
"Thank you Sikong!" Zhong Yao stood up helplessly and saluted Cao Cao.
