As the saying goes, the situation is born from the heart. Liu Yao just changed his thoughts slightly. When Liu Yao looked at this matter again, Liu Yao's perception was very different.
At this moment, in order to complete the task assigned by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's envoy shouted to Liu Bei after he finished speaking: "All the world is the king's land. How can you allow private authorizations to be given to you!"
Liu Yao didn't want to betray a bad reputation for disobeying the imperial edict and separating the local area. Anyway, even if Liu Bei became the governor of Yangzhou, he would still be the governor of Yangzhou, and Liu Bei would still help him take charge of Yangzhou, and there would be no difference. Moreover,
In less than a long time, when the Grand Marshal Liu Ming united all the members of the royal family and unified the world, his position would be promoted. He would no longer suffer in this small place in Yangzhou.
Therefore, before Liu Bei could speak again, Liu Yao immediately said from the side: "My brother, you can take over the good intentions of the emperor. Yangzhou is originally the territory of our brothers, who is inappropriate to us?"
Liu Bei refused to Liu Yao embarrassedly: "Brother, how can I be the governor of Yangzhou? I am so embarrassed that you are taking in the wandering place. I am so grateful to me. How can I take responsibility for Yangzhou that you have worked hard to manage.
This is absolutely impossible, state governor.”
Liu Yao was even happier when he heard this, and felt that Liu Bei was very helpful, and he should be more helpful. Therefore, Liu Yao smiled and said to Liu Bei, "Your and I don't need to care so much. The emperor's order cannot be violated. You and my brother are in charge of Yangzhou together,
Why bother with these false names? You might as well thank you quickly.”
Liu Bei pretended to refuse again, and then thanked him for his gratitude.
The officials who issued the imperial edicts by Cao Cao were almost stunned. How could this be different from what I imagined? Even if Liu Bei was a little smart and didn't follow the Prime Minister's plan, Liu Yao was said to have always been stupid.
How did Yao get to know each other today?
Not to mention how Liu Bei explained Cao Cao's strategy to Liu Yao after Cao Cao's decree officials left, and at the same time, he integrated his own strength with the identity of Yangzhou governor and developed and strengthened his own strength.
Just saying that Cao Cao's envoy returned to Cao Cao and told Cao Cao about the process of the order, that would make Cao Cao very angry.
Not to mention anything else, just by Liu Bei and Liu Yao's performance, Xu You gave him the plan to eat the two tigers, which would have no effect at all. Instead, it was a waste of money and allowed Liu Bei to grow and grow legitimately.
Go.
In fact, if it were just such a thing, with Cao Cao's mind, he would not be angry at all. Cao Cao was well versed in military tactics, and of course he knew that for things like wars and strategies, victory and defeat were very common. What's more,
, When Cao Cao agreed to Xu You's plan, Cao Cao didn't have any mentality of success. Originally, this plan was an unnecessary strategy and would give him a suffocation.
However, Cao Cao has suffered too many unpleasant things recently. Cao Cao was annoyed. Now he heard that Liu Bei, a guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, was not only not deceived, but also may develop in a place beyond his reach.
It is possible that he will threaten himself in the future. Can Cao Cao not become popular?
Cao Cao angrily asked someone to ask Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai to discuss countermeasures.
In a short while, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai arrived.
At this time, Cao Cao's temper had already calmed down and he talked about everything he had annoyed about recently with Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others. Let them give him an idea.
What a good guy! Cao Cao has been worried about a lot recently.
However, in addition to seeing the missing person notice, he received Liu Ming's official document and came to Xun Shuang to visit Xun Shuang. Xun You passed through Qingzhou on the way to Xudu and was killed by criminals. This caused Liu Ming to treat Cao Cao
The fact that Cao Cao killed the court officials and planned to be indiscriminately was related to Liu Ming. Other things had nothing to do with Liu Ming, but were involved with Xu You.
First, Cao Cao's subordinates secretly told Cao Cao that Xu You formed a gang and established a clan, and most of Yuan Shao's old subordinates were attracted by him. Secondly, Cao Cao's subordinates secretly told Cao Cao that Xu You made a clever name when he was building a pass by Guandu.
Both of Xu You's things made Cao Cao intolerable, but Cao Cao had just experienced a great purge now. He really couldn't start a massacre. Otherwise, the ministers under Cao Cao knew the truth or not, then
They will all develop fear, which will be separated from Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was never afraid of carrying any heroes and the reputation of treacherous ministers, because those reputations were just the names of the weak to the strong. At that time, Cao Cao was strong and no one could do anything about it. Those who pursued the strong and those who pursued the strong would naturally be so powerful.
Gathered under Cao Cao's house.
However, Cao Cao was absolutely unwilling to let his reputation of seeking talent and loving talent as life collapsed. You should know that a strong man who cannot tolerate others will not be followed. Moreover, Xu You's wings also have wings.
As a result, Zhang He, who is under Cao Cao's command of heavy troops, is now in a close relationship with Xu You. Cao Cao does not want to cause other unnecessary troubles in order to eliminate Xu You.
The last thing that made Cao Cao more trouble was the plan of the second tiger to eat. Not only did it fail, it encouraged Liu Bei. Cao Cao really didn't dare to underestimate Liu Bei and Chen Gong. Although Cao Cao talked about Liu Bei and Chen Gong on weekdays.
Chen Gong came, he looked disdainful. But that was just for others to see. Cao Cao had always looked up to those who could make him suffer. Especially now, Liu Bei and Chen Gong's development in Yangzhou
, That cannot be controlled by Cao Cao. How could Cao Cao take the potential threat lightly?
Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai also knew a little about Cao Cao’s worries recently. After Cao Cao finished speaking, the two of them pondered for a while. Xi Zhicai first said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Xu You is just a small problem.
The laws and regulations of the country are clearly on the book. Xu You violates the law and it is true that a single official is enough to solve the problem. Those other old Yuan Shao subordinates were desperate to surrender to their lords. Xu You was imprisoned, and those people still had nowhere to go.
They can only continue to work for the lord.”
Cao Cao nodded without saying anything. Cao Cao had already strictly adhered to the law and certainly had no objection to Xi Zhicai's suggestions.
However, Cheng Yu stood up and said, "No, after Yuan Shao's old subordinates came to us, they felt that their relatives were not as powerful as those of the lord, so they gathered together. After all, they were just afraid. If we put Xu You in jail at this time, even if our evidence is conclusive, they will still be guilty of wanting to be punished. Since the lord can call Xu You a friend All the people were imprisoned. Then they felt even less secure. Moreover, they were not left without a way out. Yuan Shao had his old subordinates, and except for surrendering to our part, most of them were still in the end until they surrendered to him. Liu Ming. Yan Liang, the general under Liu Ming, was once an example in Yuan Shao's army. Moreover, these old Yuan Shao's subordinates from Jizhou have a certain relationship with the local wealthy clans in Jizhou. If they were in us I felt a sense of crisis here, so I surrendered to Liu Ming. That would have a great blow to us. And the bad impact caused by this is even more inestimable. He could not only lay the lord's benevolence for his lord's men. It is worse than Liu Ming. You should follow the public and surrender to Liu Ming's shadow as soon as possible, which can also give those in the opposition a bad impression that the lord is not as strong as Liu Ming. Therefore, the lord's subordinates will turn to Liu Ming one after another. Therefore, Xu You's poisonous tumor .We must eradicate it. However, the lord must not do it. The lord just needs to call Xu You back and ask questions. Xu You will leave it to his subordinates to solve it."
Cao Cao fully understood Cheng Yudi's words. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not feel depressed. At this time, Cheng Yu took the initiative to ask for orders, and Cheng Yu also fully grasped Cao Cao's intentions. Of course, Cao Cao would not object.
.However, Cheng Yudi's topic is too sensitive, touching on the relationship between superiors and subordinates, as well as the solution to dark methods. It is really not suitable for Cao Cao to speak out.
Therefore, Cao Cao then spoke, "Xu You has committed so many things. I will naturally ask him to come and ask. However, at this time, Liu Ming's condemnation of us had a great impact on our reputation, and Liu Bei's
Thieves, that is also a potential threat to us, and we must be careful. What do you two think about this?"
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu were both confidants who had followed Cao Cao for many years. When Cao Cao said this, they certainly understood Cao Cao's mentality. So these two people no longer mentioned Xu You.
It was still Xi Zhicai who spoke to Cao Cao first: "Liu Ming's condemnation of us is definitely a frame-up. The purpose of the lord's missing person notice was to cause Liu Ming's ability to be less than your lord.
.Make those capable and strange people who are determined to follow the strong and suffocate the troubled times give up following Liu Ming and choose you to surrender. Then Xun Yu and Xun You were forced to come to us, that is, Liu Ming's ability is not as strong as his lord's high proof
Of course we will not harm Xun Yu and Xun You. Moreover, although the territory of Qingzhou is not considered peaceful, since Lord Zhong Yao governed Qingzhou, the number of bandits in Qingzhou has decreased a lot. How could it be Xun Yu?
What's the fuss when Xun You and the others came there? What's more, the dead bodies left on the ground were too fast to die, and they were definitely not something that ordinary bandits could do. They were definitely the work of a trained killer. Therefore,
This is definitely the method Liu Ming used to deal with his lord's plan!"
