The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Just when the world was peaceful in Qingxu generation, the hinterland of Chang'an to the west of Jizhou was already desolate. After years of war, Ma Chao, Cao Pi and others had been fighting for an unknown how long.

The two sides are constantly pulling each other here, and tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured.

Cao Pi suffered from cough, tuberculosis and other diseases when he was young. It can be said that he had these diseases from birth.
When Xi Yu was in Xuchang, he took Cao Pi to see Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Under the care of the two, and with the help of Wu Qin Xi Tai Chi, his cough and tuberculosis have also improved somewhat over the years.

However, because of the sudden start of the war, coupled with Cao Pi's constant travels between the front line and Xuchang, this made his illness serious again.

Especially every time it came to the rainy season, Cao Pi felt uncomfortable all over his body, his face turned white, and he couldn't even walk two steps, so Cao Pi moved all the related affairs to his own mansion.

Today, Cao Pi received a military intelligence report. It was a local official who said that since they banned the merchant ships related to opera seals and some caravans related to opera artists in the land of Qingxu, the local business has directly stagnated. However, even agriculture has been affected to a certain extent.

But the good thing is that now they finally don't have to worry about their internal officials being sneaked in by the playwright black and white cavalry, which is also good news for them.

But at the same time, he also received a piece of information that made him tense up. His uncle Xi Yu had already captured Jingzhou, and he also learned that Liu Qi, who was supposed to inherit Jingzhou Mu in Jingzhou, was killed by Liu Bei. died.

Of course, the fact that Liu Qi was killed by Liu Bei was not said by someone himself, nor was there any evidence given by someone, nor was it Guo Fengxiao who said categorically that Liu Bei did it, but everyone in the world guess.

After figuring out all the process, Cao Pi admired Guo Fengxiao's move very much, but at the same time, he felt very painful in his heart.
If a talent like Guo Fengxiao is in his own hands and becomes the counselor of his Cao family, then I don't know what the situation of his Cao family will be like now.

In fact, at the very beginning, his younger uncle Xiyu didn't hate the Cao family and Xiahou's family so much, but because of Cao Cao's relationship, the two families can be said to be very close.Xi Yu is also loyal to his father.

But at the end of the deep relationship, it still has to be broken by interests. The interests of the clan made Xi Yu finally break up with their Cao family, but in fact, his brother-in-law can also say that he has done his best to him.

For such a long time, Xi Yu had at least three chances to kill Cao Pi and destroy their Cao family's foundation, but I don't know why Xi Yu didn't attack in the end.

Although this is Xi Yunian's past feelings and not being offensive, it also reflects his father's evaluation of his uncle from the side.

Xi Yu often does things step by step, and will never make a move until the most stable time. This person has an excellent temperament, even if he is very angry, he will not lose his reason because of anger.

At this time, Sima Yi, Sima Lang Xi Zhicai, and Xia Houdun also stood in front of Cao Pi, waiting to discuss matters with him.

At this moment, the reason why Cao Pi summoned everyone here was largely to ask how they should be able to stabilize the current situation. Even if there was no way, at least he had to predict. After winning Jingzhou, the drama How much time will Yu leave for them so that they can continue to attack Ma Teng.

After a long period of pulling each other, although the outside of the pass is now in ruins, Cao Jun has achieved certain results at this moment.

At the beginning, Cao Pi asked Cao Ren to lead the army as the commander-in-chief, and Cao Zhen to help him in the back. Cao Pi didn't pay attention to Ma Chao at first.

Cao Ren was asked to take Cao Zhen there for the purpose of gaining military exploits, but at the beginning of the war, Cao Ren's army was completely defeated by Ma Chao's spear-throwing army.

However, Cao Ren could be regarded as a famous general in the world at any rate. After countless times of charging and fighting, Cao Ren's soldiers were also used to this kind of operation.

Now the two sides are constantly fighting on the land outside the pass, Ma Chao's spear-throwing army has been broken by Cao Ren, and now there is no strategy between the two sides, the only thing they can do is one thing, kill, desperately fight.

Sitting on the main seat and looking at the crowd, Cao Pi looked at Xi Zhicai and Xiahou Dun and said slowly:
"The two are the most around me. Ahem."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi couldn't help coughing violently. The thing that worries the entire Cao Group now is not some Ma Chao drama.

What worries the members of the Cao Group the most is that the health of their lord Cao Pi is getting worse day by day, in case one day he suddenly burps.
Seeing Cao Pi cough violently suddenly, Xi Zhicai and Xiahou Dun panicked instantly.

"My lord! Cough cough cough."

The two wanted to go forward to help Cao Pi just now, but they were stopped directly by Cao Pi. After waving his hands, Cao Pi continued:
"I have nothing to do. Now let's talk about the frontline affairs. Now this Xiliang horse Teng Sulai has no enmity with my Cao family, and even has a good relationship with my Cao family. Rijin treats my Cao army so well." Any words of hostility, or even non-stop waiting for me, is such a fierce resistance to our Cao army, desperate to prevent my Cao family army from entering Liangzhou, and my uncle must have contributed to it."

Hearing what Cao Pi said, Xi Zhicai also nodded slightly.

"That's right, I think so too. Before my good friend Guo Fengxiao entered Jingzhou alone, causing chaos in Jingzhou. Liu Bei was forced to flee, and the aristocratic family was easily recovered by him. Let everyone know that Xi Yu has more than one hand There is only one Guo Fengxiao, who has countless civil servants and military generals in his hands, who can guarantee that he, Xi Yu, did not send someone to Xiliang?"

In fact, at the very beginning, the relationship between Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia can be said to be very good. The two sides can be said to be close friends. The two often drink and play together, even when they are visiting the place of fireworks. , the two also went together.

But now that the two sides are their own masters, things are different, and it may not be easy to have the same appearance as before.

Looking at Xi Zhicai, Cao Pi also sighed softly:

"Hey, Lingjun, what can you do? How should we survive now?"

Seeing Cao Pi's appearance, Xi Zhicai also sighed softly.

"Hey, if the lord wants Liangzhou, then Youzhou must not be able to hold it. If the lord wants Yizhou, then the land of Jiyou must not be able to hold it."

"If the lord lets me say it, then I think that the most important thing at this moment is to calm down Ma Teng first, and then not to attack after capturing Tianshui. It only needs to be defended for three years, so that Ma Teng has no way to enter. to the Central Plains."

"Afterwards, my lord sent a general to guard Youzhou, and regained the hearts of its people. Although it was said that Youzhou and other places are in our hands, because most of Yuan Shao's remnants have accumulated here, the local officials are also They were appointed without inspection, so the current Youzhou is still in accordance with Yuan Shao's method, and after the officials recommended by Qingxu Academy were expelled, the disadvantages of this Youzhou have undoubtedly appeared."

At this moment, Xi Zhicai's voice was very weak, as if he was going to die of illness soon, not to mention the lack of Qi, it was simply lack of Qi.

After sighing lightly, Xi Zhicai smiled self-deprecatingly.

"At this moment, I can only think of these things. Actually, instead of asking me, my lord, why not ask General Yuan Rang."

Xi Zhicai's sudden attack stunned Xia Houdun, who was still fishing at the side just now, and Gou's eyes widened. His eyes were filled with endless anger, looking at Xi Zhicai and asked in a cold voice:

"Lingjun! What do you mean by that!"

Looking at Xiahoudun, Xi Zhicai also had a look of coldness in his eyes, because of this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little bit tense.

The tension between the two sides also made the two brothers Sima Yi feel a little inexplicable, and they looked at the two with confused faces.

Although I don't know what kind of strange festivals there are between these two people, but because the identities of the two people are relatively noble, the dispute between the two parties is also a dispute between the master of counselors and the generals of the clan. , the two of them couldn't say anything, they could only stand there and look at the two people who were arguing with each other in a daze.

Looking at Xi Zhicai in front of him, Xiahou Dun's eyes were filled with flames of anger: "Ji Lingjun! My lord is asking why you insist on dragging this matter on me at this moment?"

While speaking, Xiahou Dun's voice couldn't help but raise a bit, and there was also a little displeasure in his tone.

Obviously, because of the disdainful expression on Xi Zhicai's face, the flame of resentment in Xiahou Dun's heart had been ignited.

However, facing the angry Xiahou Dun, the disdain and contempt in Xi Zhicai's eyes were even worse.

"Hahahahahaha."

Although Xi Zhicai's body is very weak now, and he needs to stop laughing constantly, but Xi Zhicai still laughed a few times, took a deep breath, looked at Xiahou Dun and said.

"General Yuan Rang, you know what kind of relationship Xi Yu had with the First Lord back then. The two sides are like a family. Originally, Xi Yu and the lord were a family. This matter shouldn't have come to such an extent! "

"When Xi Yu first came to Cao Ying, he didn't have the slightest desire to make contributions in his heart. What he did was just to ask for a meal and a chance to survive."

"Compared with the former lord, Xi Yu has almost the same charm as the former lord. Whether it is fame, fortune or glory and wealth, neither Xi Yu nor the first lord paid much attention to it. The two of them All people want is for the prosperity of the world, and they want to use their own hard work to help the big man!"

"And this is also the reason why such stubborn people as Guo Fengxiao and Xun Wenruo would abandon everything to follow him, but you used the interests of the clan to separate the former master from Xi Yu. In the end, the two sides met each other, and the matter has come to this point, is General Yuan Rang ever satisfied?"

Killing and punishing the heart, killing and punishing the heart!

That's right, are you satisfied?What do you want Xiahou Dun to say? Are you satisfied?
If you can't answer this sentence, you can't answer it at all. Even in the recent days, Xiahoudun has been constantly cultivating his body, and his temper is not as violent as it was back then, but when he heard Xi Zhicai's question Sometimes, no matter how good the temper is, it will explode.

"Xizhicai! What do you want to do! A certain family admires you as a loyal minister, but it is my Cao family's brains, and they don't want to argue with you. Even if you are right at this time, it is my Xiahou Dun's business, but this matter is already a matter. What happened in the past, no one in the past could have predicted what will happen today!"

Xiahoudun's operation directly made the rest of the people present look stupid. Faced with Xi Zhicai's murderous remarks, Xiahoudun, who usually likes to choose hard steel when encountering things, unexpectedly chose to accept and escape at this moment!

"The problem today is that the lord is asking how to solve today's difficulties. Why do you want to tell everything about this general?"

Glancing at Xiahou Dun, Xi Zhicai sighed lightly and said slowly.

"To untie the bell, you have to tie it. Your affairs must be settled after all. For now, only you can be the guardian of Youzhou, and only you can be worthy of this great task."

"General Wen Ruo, among my Cao Ying at this time, you are the only one in my Cao Ying who is famous and prestigious, and has led troops to fight for many years. Besides, you have served as the governor of Jizhou before. The most important thing is, You and Xi Yu have had grievances for many years, and the two of you have some understanding of each other, now that the situation is going on, it's time for the two of you to settle it."

Looking at Xiahoudun in front of him, Xi Zhicai was silent after he finished speaking, looking at him quietly, and Xiahoudun also closed his lips and remained silent at this moment.

Of course he knew what Xi Zhicai said, and it was clear that the two of them understood each other.

Back then, for the sake of the Cao family, his Xiahou family took the initiative to weaken Xi Yu's achievements, and tried their best to attack Xi Yu's future, which eventually led to Xi Yu's rebellion.

He also knows that this scene is his retribution, the retribution of his Xiahou family, the circle of karma.

Taking a deep breath, Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Pi and nodded.

"What Xi Lingjun said is the truth, this matter started because of me, and it should be resolved because of me."

Seeing that Xiahoudun agreed, Cao Pi also nodded his head. Now in the Cao camp, Xiahoudun is the only one who can guard Youzhou with such prestige.

Besides, Xiahou Dun is only in his 40s this year, and he is also in his prime. Besides, he has been guarding the Northland for many years, and he still has such a strong prestige in the Northland. Guarding Youzhou is the best choice.

After nodding slightly, Cao Pi looked at Xi Zhicai again and asked:
"The matter of Youzhou has been resolved, what should we do next?"

After closing his eyes and being silent for a moment, Xi Zhicai said slowly:

"Next, our army can send a large army into Hanzhong to force Zhang Lu to surrender with great power. If Zhang Lu surrenders, he can secretly help our Cao family seize Xichuan."

"The most important thing is that with Zhang Lu's help, our army's capture of Xichuan will inevitably be much faster than Liu Bei's capture of Xichuan."

"The matter of capturing Xichuan must be very fast, and it must not fall behind Liu Bei. If Liu Bei is allowed to capture Xichuan, it will be even more difficult for our army to capture him again. And if our army possesses Xichuan, we will be able to support another ten years in the future war against Xi Yu..."

When he said that he could last another ten years, Xi Zhicai couldn't help showing an extremely bitter expression on his face, it was so sad indeed!
Thinking back to when he followed the former lord Cao Cao, he could be said to be invincible in the world at that time. No one in the entire Central Plains could resist the offensive of the former lord. At that time, everyone believed that the one who would unify the world in the future must be the former lord.

But it's only been so long, and now they have planned for a long time to obtain the land of Yizhou, and the purpose is to survive under Xi Yu's men for another ten years.

In fact, Cao Pi also had certain thoughts in his heart about this kind of thing. He naturally knew that he would definitely not be able to beat his uncle, but in his heart he was firm and refused to admit defeat.

So after Xi Zhicai took off the last fig leaf of the Cao Wei Group, his heart was also filled with endless sadness.

Xiahoudun also knew about this, so after Xi Zhicai finished speaking, his face was also very ugly, but when he remembered what he did back then, he didn't show any trace of regret.

All that was left in my heart was a sense of regret, lamenting that things are right and wrong, lamenting that after a hundred years of Duke Cao, not only would I not be able to watch his heirs unify the world, maybe I would have to look at Duke Cao as well. The foundation he worked so hard to build was taken away by his former good brother.

After a moment of sadness, Cao Pi began to recall the plan that Xi Zhicai just said.

"Beware of Liu Bei? Are you joking? Liu Bei is alone at the moment, a bereaved dog. Even if he entered Yizhou alone, what is so scary? Is it possible that I am still afraid of this bereaved dog biting people? ?"

In fact, no matter who it is now, everyone is extremely contemptuous of Liu Bei, and for Cao Pi, even if he can't beat his uncle, he is still a prince.

My subordinates now have hundreds of thousands of troops, so what does Liu Bei have?He Liu Bei has nothing, why should he be afraid of this person?Want to fight for time with him?

Hearing what Cao Pi said, Xi Zhicai frowned slightly and said:
"My lord, don't underestimate that Liu Xuande!" (End of this chapter)
