The blue-white sky is filled with a slight rain. If a couple of lovers hold an umbrella, walk in the rain, and tell the endless love words, it would be so romantic. However, Xudu Street is in a hurry
The pedestrians do not have this style at all.
Romance is always the patent of rich and leisurely people. Xu Du, who had just calmed down at this time, had too many things to deal with. The people were busy repairing houses, buying daily necessities, and working hard.
Livelihood. Officials are busy repairing cities, replenishing supplies, calming prices, and maintaining public order. Even the emperor who is just pretending to be has to sign more official documents and perform more dramas than usual. Although the emperor calls office,
However, it was just signing the official document approved by Cao Cao and signing the words that had been read and approved, but this still increased the intensity of the emperor's work. The delicate emperor was almost exhausted.
Even the emperor is like this, let alone dealing with all kinds of troubles and controlling the entire court specifically. Cao Cao has never been relaxed or laughed since Liu Bei's betrayal. Internal and external troubles are heavy and heavy oppressing Cao Cao's nerves.
Carefully use all the resources in your hands to let the forces around you take the invading eyes away from you. Therefore, in recent times, Cao Cao's nerves are tense at every moment to deal with every sudden outbreak
Posted events.
However, today, it was raining lightly today, Cao Cao suddenly laughed. Cao Cao was both angry and laughed happily.
Cao Cao had two letters in his hand, one was written by Liu Ming and the other was written by Cao Ren. Cao Cao had already prepared for Liu Ming's letter to him at this time, and at the same time he guessed it.
What content will be in Liu Ming's letter? Therefore, out of concern for his brothers, Cao Cao first opened Cao Ren's letter to watch. But the more Cao Cao read the letter written by Cao people, the more something was wrong.
If it weren't for Cao Ren's envelope being sealed with a fire lacquer, there was Cao Ren's private seal on it, and Cao Cao was sure that the handwriting on the letter was written by Cao Ren's handwriting. Cao Cao really doubted whether this was his usual shrewd brother Cao Ren.
I wrote this in person that if it were my precious brother Cao Hong, I would have been unable to do such a fool, but my brother Cao Ren, who is both civil and military, should not be so confused.
Cao Cao hurriedly opened Liu Ming's letter to compare. After reading it, Cao Cao finally smiled angry. At the same time, he was relieved of Liu Ming's attack and smiled happily. While Cao Cao laughed, Cao Cao was thinking, but he really didn't see it.
Oh, I didn’t expect that my brother Cao Ren had such a cute and silly side. No wonder he and Cao Hong are brothers. This really has the same characteristics as brothers.
It turned out that these two letters, the letter Liu Ming gave to Cao Cao, was a regular and solemn apology. The letter said: Liu Ming believed Liu Bei's slander and mistakenly thought that the emperor had put on his clothes and decree.
Let all the heroes of the world come to clear the king. Therefore, Liu Mingcai, despite the fatigue of the Youzhou army's long-term battle and the tension of food and grass, came to fight the country for traitors. Now the truth is revealed. The treacherous minister Liu Bei was expelled. Liu Ming deeply felt that he believed in slander.
He was guilty, so he wrote to the court and asked the court to punish him.
Although Liu Ming's letter was written to the court, in Cao Cao's mind, I am the court, and the court is me. What is the difference between apologizing to the court and apologizing to himself? Therefore, Cao Cao has always been afraid of Liu Ming's recklessness.
The desire to invade each other finally relaxed, so Cao Cao smiled happily.
But Cao Ren's letter is different. In the letter, Cao Ren tried his best to describe the Shenwu of Liu Ming's army and how vulnerable Zhang He's army was, and he was not prepared enough, and no killing was set in the key places.
The strongest mechanism responded, and Liu Ming had great luck. They didn't know the formation, but when their troops entered the formation didn't know how to pass through the formation, they were blocked from the formation.
The key to the truth led to his ultimate failure. However, after he was captured, he was steadfast and unyielding. After he stated his strength to Liu Ming and explained to Liu Ming that it was not Cao Cao's rebellion, but Liu Bei's rebellion.
Liu Ming repented happily and wrote a letter to apologize, ready to withdraw his troops at any time. However, Liu Ming went to clear the emperor when he heard Liu Bei's slander. Therefore, Liu Ming was a little underprepared for military rations. Originally, Liu Ming was thinking about it.
During the autumn harvest, Sili and Yanzhou were captured to solve the food problem on the spot. But now, since Cao Ren explained it to Liu Ming clearly, Liu Ming could not do this. As both Han officials, how could Liu Ming rob Cao Cao
What about food? But Liu Ming had too many troops, so he could only hold on for one or two days. But Liu Ming still had to wait for the reply from the court to deal with it. Therefore, Liu Ming wanted to borrow 300,000 dan of food from Cao Cao to
As the return military ration. Cao Ren also hinted in the letter that Cao Cao that Liu Ming would bring no less than 500,000 troops, and Cao Cao's army would definitely not be able to fight. And even if he could beat him, Cao Cao's losses would be too
It's better to pardon Liu Ming for offending him, give Liu Ming some military rations and send Liu Ming back. Otherwise, Liu Ming's army would go crazy when there was a shortage of military rations, which would be no joke. And Cao Ren
Also reminded Cao Cao that Liu Ming was a loyal Han Dynasty minister who absolutely respected the emperor. As long as Cao Cao grasped this, Cao Cao could definitely mobilize Liu Ming's troops at will through the emperor. At that time, Cao Cao would have a sword to kill.
So Cao Cao would win over Liu Ming appropriately, it would definitely be a good deal.
Not to mention, Cao Ren's last tip really made Cao Cao a little moved, but after Cao Ren got this letter, he was dry and then a naked threat letter. The straightforward meaning was that Cao Cao was forgiven.
Liu Ming was not guilty and had to compensate Liu Ming for 300,000 dan of military rations, otherwise Liu Ming's army of 500,000 would have to fight to the end.
Therefore, after reading Cao Ren's letter, Cao Cao wondered if it was written by Cao Ren. How could Cao Ren help the enemy? With Cao Ren's loyalty and courage, Cao Cao absolutely did not believe that Cao Ren would betray him, nor did he believe that
Cao Ren will surrender to Liu Ming's criminal law and write unwilling words. But in addition, Cao Ren can only be deceived and truly believe in Liu Ming, but Cao Ren should not be deceived so stupid. Therefore,
Only then would Cao Cao open Liu Ming's letter immediately to see if Liu Ming would do anything unexpected. After Cao Cao compared and looked at it, Cao Cao really believed that his brother Cao Ren should not listen to it on weekdays.
He was shrewd, but he was so stupid that he was cheated to the point where he was sold and he had to help him count money. Cao Cao was really angry with Cao Ren.
But what Cao Cao didn't know was that Cao Ren's actions were not completely stupid. In order to protect himself, Cao Ren had to find a reason for his defeat, and in order to atone for his sins, he had to find him.
A reason to make contributions. At this time, Liu Ming and Guo Jia delivered all the reasons to the door. Cao Ren was drunk a little and lost his control. Of course, it was natural to follow Liu Ming and the others' flowers.
It's right.
Not to mention what Cao Cao and Cao Ren thought, but Cao Cao's sudden laughter, for those subordinates who had already adapted to the heavy pressure and were infected with that heavy pressure, the blow would be
Too big. All these subordinates are so mad.
What's wrong with the Prime Minister? Could it be that he is exhausted? Cao Cao's subordinates all have this kind of mind at the same time.
Of course, those who think so are just Cao Cao's subordinates. Cao Cao's confidant subordinates all know Cao Cao and know that Cao Cao's tough personality will never collapse or go crazy. However, this is not
The confidants representing Cao Cao were calm, but on the contrary, the confidants of Cao Cao were even more worried, because they knew that the purpose of Cao Cao gathering them together today was to discuss that Liu Ming had defeated Cao Ren now.
What should we do now and what measures should we take? Moreover, they were closer to Cao Cao, and they even saw the two letters that interrupted Cao Cao's meeting, one was from Liu Ming, Youzhou, and the other was from Cao Ren.
Cao Ren is said to have been captured by Liu Ming. Now Cao Ren’s letter will be delivered at the same time as Liu Ming’s letter. Could it be that Cao Ren has surrendered to Liu Ming and is a lobbyist for Liu Ming? No wonder the Prime Minister is so angry.
That's it.
Cao Cao's confidants all thought this way. However, there are a few exceptions among them. One of them is Xu You. This is not that Xu You is more alien and has different thinking from these colleagues, but that Xu You thinks that the scene in front of you is too
I am familiar with it. Could it be that Liu Ming came to blackmail the lord Cao Cao again? Xu You thought that after Yuan Shao was extorted by Liu Ming, he was betrayed and his morale was dispersed. In the end, he had to end up with a crushing defeat. Xu You couldn't help but feel physically and mentally
A chill.
However, everyone was surprised for not long. Among Cao Cao's confidants, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai were not the kind of people who liked to guess randomly. They only valued facts and made rigorous inferences based on facts. Thus, they obtained the following:
The correct result is. This is what they reassure Cao Cao and what Cao Cao values. At this time, the two of them stood up at the same time and asked, "I wonder why the Prime Minister laughed?"
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly. The military situation was urgent, so we can't waste our time now. No matter how funny it was, we can't let the lord immerse itself in it. Rescue soldiers are like putting out fires. One quarter of an hour earlier
