Liu Ming's mind was not reflected for a moment. Liu Ming's mind was different: Are you discussing whether to go to Cao Cao? Why did you go off the topic? And this topic seems to have gone too far.
It is no wonder that Liu Ming was so different. Although Liu Ming had long speculated about Yang Jun and the others' ideas, this sudden formal proposal still made Liu Ming at a loss. Although being an emperor may be the fantasy in every man's heart.
However, Liu Ming, who grew up under the red flag and was trained by the army for many years, knew deeply that the emperor in reality had great responsibilities and constraints in addition to the extreme material enjoyment. And Liu Ming now, although
I have adapted to the material enjoyment I am today, but I am not as psychologically prepared for the greater responsibilities and obligations I have now.
However, compared to Liu Ming, there are always good people in the world. Although Guo Jia and Jia Xu are quick-witted, they suspect that this proposal was manipulated by Liu Ming behind the scenes, so they are a bit wasted and did not directly object.
Fortunately, among Liu Ming and other core confidants, there are still one or two straightforward people.
Just like Xun You, it is obvious that he is such a person. For his ideals in his heart and Liu Ming's great future, he can't stand any flaws.
After hearing the speeches of Cai Yong and Yang Jun, Xun You immediately opposed it: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Yang, your two proposals are good. But it is too early for the lord to be emperor at this time. With our current situation
Moreover, even if we implement Wenhe's plan, the princes in the world are afraid of our strength and dare not act rashly. However, if the lord wanted to be emperor at that time, it would inevitably give people the feeling of being domineering and easily cause
The world's shared hatred of the enemy. It is important to know that although the son is weak and young today, he has been hostage by treacherous ministers, and he has no fault in himself. He has not been held by others. In this way, the lord will naturally become the target of the world and the target of spitting
.If we really have millions of troops to suppress this situation, it will naturally not be an obstacle. However, we do not have such great strength, and everything is just a trick. When rumors spread, we are powerless to stop it.
At that time, we were trapped in the quagmire and could not extricate ourselves. Moreover, even if those princes with dissatisfaction were frightened by us and surrendered to us, they were recruited by us and became our own troops.
After our own people, we will sooner or later discover our true strength. At that time, they will inevitably be dissatisfied and will repent. If they leak it out, then our Youzhou will be in danger! Moreover, those who have strange intentions in various places will be afraid for the time being
Our strength is hidden inside us, which will also hinder our future rule and development. This is definitely not as good as following our original plan, with strong military strength, to eliminate those who have different intentions one by one.
The dissident is safe. After the lord actually controls the world, then the lord will be promoted to the emperor again. It is bound to be the heart of the world and there will be no trouble. Therefore, it is for thousands of people to become emperor at this time.
It's inappropriate."
After Xun Youyi finished speaking his own opinions seriously, he looked at Liu Ming with a firm look. That style was really nothing to say. Haoran was upright and looked at death.
Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others all secretly cheered for Xun You. It was indeed a stubborn minister who was fearless. I would rather be.
But the person involved Liu Ming was a little embarrassed by Xun You. Liu Ming was so depressed: I didn’t propose this proposal to be emperor. Why do I look at me? I also put on the style of Xia Minghan. As for? I was also victimized.
Who.
However, although Liu Ming thought so, Liu Ming also knew that Xun You's expression was normal. After all, although he has no fundamental change from himself who has just arrived in this era, his identity has been now
Standing at the top of the feudal ruling class and mastering the power of life and death. Even though his thoughts did not change much after integrating the concepts of this era, his identity was already on the opposite side of the class. This is inevitable that Xun You would react like this.
What's more, my thinking has indeed been affected to a certain extent in subtle influence. This makes others even more refusing.
At this time, everyone's eyes had already gathered on Liu Ming, wanting to see what Liu Ming said about this. After all, Liu Ming's attitude of sympathizing with the emperor was directly related to everyone present.
Cao Cao's temptation was no longer so important at this time.
Liu Ming was even more helpless when he saw everyone's eyes. However, Liu Ming remembered that Grandpa Mao once said: Dig deep into the hole, accumulate grain, and slowly become king. Moreover, Liu Ming was not the same at this time.
Qinglu. Liu Ming, who has more than ten years of leadership experience, knows deeply that at this time, you must say something, no matter whether it is right or wrong, and your attitude must be firm. Otherwise, if you don’t have a correct attitude, then
But they will have to do their own politics. This will be broken.
Therefore, Liu Ming said in a righteous manner: "All the Lords are all the confidants of the Lord. Your words are all the golden and jade words that I think of. This will not disappoint you. Yes! Now, just as Gongda said.
It is indeed not a good opportunity for me to proclaim himself emperor. This proposal should be discussed again when the world is unified."
Liu Ming expressed his attitude, and most people at that time felt relieved. Everyone followed Liu Ming, just to build a foundation in this troubled times and achieve eternal achievements. And of course, these must be based on Liu Ming's great cause and success.
On the basis of establishing a dynasty and becoming an emperor, therefore, all the mentalities of the people here are the same. It is just a matter of arguing for a while. Now Xun You talked about the reason, and Liu Ming also expressed his attitude, so of course this issue is
It no longer exists. Moreover, Liu Ming also promised that he would not let everyone down, which made them even more hopeful.
Only Cai Yong's political level is relatively low, and he has not reacted at this time. Hearing this, he asked unwillingly: "If a virtuous son-in-law does not proclaim himself emperor, then we will take a million troops to Cao Cao to congratulate the emperor.
Wouldn't it be a loss? Moreover, if Cao Cao only lets his son-in-law come to Beijing under the name of the emperor, what should we do?"
At this time, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others knew about Cai Yong's proposal. It was not instructed by Liu Ming, but Cai Yong's wishful thinking. Naturally, they no longer took it seriously. Then Jia Xu was better. For Cai's sake, it was not so much.
Yong was Liu Ming's father-in-law and didn't say anything. But Guo Jia said indifferently: "Mr. Cai, you are too worried. Sending troops is just a name. No matter what we say, we can do it. And
Cao Cao just wanted to know whether our real military strength was as strong as he guessed. As long as he knew this, Cao Cao would not tear his face and risk his open war with the Lord.
The lord took the risk to them personally. Since ancient times, the strong have accommodated the weak, and that is absolutely true. Cao Cao cannot understand this."
Cai Yong blushed at that time.
Guo Jia didn't care about Cai Yong's expression at all. He smiled and said, "Lord. As long as tomorrow is like this, Sima Lang will be scared to death. Then we will raise manpower to perform a play for Cao Cao to see, and Cao Cao will still
You don’t want to follow us obediently.”
When everyone heard this, they felt that Guo Jia was really smart. The action plan had just changed and he could come up with another plan immediately. He was really worthy of being Liu Ming's number one think tank.
After the plan, everyone made a separate plan. Most people don’t have much work here, just prepare tomorrow’s words. But Xun Yu and Xun You have a relatively large workload.
Xun Yu and Xun You, their daily work is mainly to manage the internal affairs of Liu Ming. Now, Jia Xu's plan is to second the Xianbei herders of 800,000 to Liu Ming to make up the scene. This sent envoys to negotiate and give these 80
Ten thousand people arranged food and accommodation, and there were too many trivial matters. Especially, due to the previous preliminary plan, Youzhou's main target was Dong Zhuo from Xiliang. Most of the grain had been concentrated in Bingzhou. This is how it is.
This also caused trouble for Xun Yu and Xun You.
Fortunately, the Beihai under Kong Rong's control had always been abundant in food storage. At this time, more than 5 million stones of military ration were still stored on the ground of Qingzhou. One million people were maintained, and the soldiers had eaten and drunk for one or two months.
That can still be done.
As a result, Xun Yu and Xun You were almost busy with a stay. Moreover, while busy with work, Xun Yu and Xun You became even more aware of it. When the army moved, it was all money.
Xun Yu, Xun You couldn't help but think: No wonder Guo Jia wanted his lord to go there by himself. That would be much more cost-effective. This time, the lord saved two steps, and the grain reserves in Youzhou were a big loss.
Xun Yu, Xun You thought: As long as the deterrent plan is successful, it will be of great help to the implementation of future strategic deployment. I also think that this amount of food storage is also worth it.
.
Apart from Xun Yu and Xun You are busy, Guo Jia did not have a good rest. However, Guo Jia was not as busy as Xun Yu and Xun You. Instead, he received gifts and could only train people to chat.
After Guo Jia returned to his house, it was just night. Sima Lang quietly visited Guo Jia. Moreover, Cao Ren's letter was also caught in the letter to Guo Jia.
When Guo Jia saw it, he was happy. Isn’t this going to make trouble?
Guo Jia hurriedly came out, connected Sima Lang into the inner room, and left the left and right.
When there was no one in the house, Guo Jia immediately pretended to be unhappy and said, "Mr. Sima, you are so brave. How dare you come here late at night. Aren't you causing trouble for me? If you are seen by someone with a heart, this would be fine.
What should I do?"
Sima Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Guo. I came sneaking in. No one could see what I looked like. And when I came, I noticed it. No one followed me."
Not to mention, Sima Lang's outfit is really a bit sneaking. He wore a veiled hat on his head, covering his face. He also wore a black cloak to block his body.
Guo Jia was secretly amused in his heart: So what if you can’t see it? Just your outfit is fine, but that’s all right. This is too eye-catching. Moreover, you guy doesn’t use your brain to think about it.
You, Cao Cao's subordinate, come to our Youzhou, can no one be secretly surveillance? You are like you, you can't be lost even if you are more than ten feet away. If even someone like you can find someone being followed, you can find that you are being tracked.
, Then aren’t all my subordinates becoming waste?
However, Guo Jia naturally would not wake him up, but just pretended to be a little relieved and said, "It's good that no one follows you. From now on, you must not be so reckless again. Moreover, this time, you also
Remember, this is just a polite visit. Don't talk nonsense."
Sima Lang agreed with a smile.
Guo Jia pretended to be ignorant again and asked, "Tell me. Why do you come to me for so late? With General Cao's introduction, I will definitely help if I can help."
Sima Lang smiled again when he heard this. However, Sima Lang did not rush to talk about his purpose. Instead, he untied his cloak, took off a bag from his waist, and put it on the table and opened it. He saw that it was neatly placed inside.
There were forty ingots of horse hoof gold arranged in a row. It was really golden.
However, with Guo Jia's current family wealth, he naturally doesn't like these. Moreover, with Guo Jia's nature, even if Guo Jia has no money, he will not be tempted by money. However, Guo Jia pretends to be greedy for the sake of his plan.
It looked like he was. But Guo Jia was a little surprised: What a big deal that Cao Ren gave to himself after negotiating with Cao Cao. These forty ingots of gold were too few. Could it be that Cao Cao saw something there
Want to test if I'm really rich?
Thinking of this, Guo Jia quickly pretended to be disdainful of it.
Guo Jiade's expression fell into Sima Lang's eyes. Sima Lang secretly contempts him: It turns out that he is a greedy person. However, Sima Lang is not idle. After opening the bag, he immediately took it out of his arms.
A brocade box was found.
This brocade box is about one foot long and two inches wide. It is only eight minutes thick. It looks light and has no weight. However, Sima Lang took out the brocade box and was obviously much more cautious than the golden bag.
After the brocade box is opened, open the carefully wrapped brocade.
After Guo Jia looked at it, he couldn't help but feel moved. In the brocade box were bead chains of eighteen pearls. Each of these pearls was the size of a little finger, and they were extremely round and flashing.
The soft light. Moreover, the most rare thing is that these beads are the same size and reflect each other. This is really rare. And these are not anything. Although these pearls are rare, they are still treasures that can be produced in the Central Plains. As long as you have the intention, you can still
It was found. But the gemstone that was the size of an egg and shining with sky blue light under the eighteen bead chains was so rare. This is definitely a priceless treasure. It is a product that even money can't get.
It seems that Cao Cao has really finished the book this time.
Sima Lang said proudly: "Mr. Guo's pride was brought to you by General Cao. Are you satisfied?"
