The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 172 Ming Jun is the Young Master
Yuan Xu has no friendship with Gongsun Kang.

He didn't even focus on Liaodong at all.

Although the Gongsun family in Liaodong has some strength, compared with Cao Cao, it is so weak that it is deliberately ignored.

Cheng Yu persuaded Gongsun Kang to send troops, but Yuan Xu was not surprised when he was rejected.

What surprised him was that Gongsun Kang tied him up and sent him to Yecheng.

"How did Guo Fengxiao deal with it?" Yuan Xu asked Cui Yan.

Cui Yan replied: "He has some friendship with Cheng Yu and is trying to persuade him to submit."

"You have to go for a while." Yuan Xu ordered: "I will ask Cao Mengde to write a letter to Cheng Zhongde later. Fengxiao may not be able to persuade him, but Cao Mengde will definitely be able to."

A side hall in the inner courtyard of the Huainan Imperial Palace.

Yuan Xu sat at the top, and Cao Cao sat with him at the bottom.

On the table in front of Cao Cao, there were a few chapters of blank paper and a pen.

Cai Lun made Caihou paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yuan Xu didn't like the quality of the paper at all.

What was placed in front of Cao Cao was the paper he obtained from later generations through the second-level necromancer summoning technique.

Silk was too expensive, and Yuan Xu was reluctant to use it to ask Cao Cao to write a letter.

The texture of Caihou paper is not good enough. After writing, some places will become small ink blobs.

It's easier to use the paper I'm used to.

"Cheng Zhongde went to Liaodong, you should know." Yuan Xu asked Cao Cao.

"I know." Cao Cao replied.

"I don't care what you thought at the beginning, and I won't settle accounts with you after the autumn." Yuan Xu said: "We were fighting at that time, no matter what you did, you can forgive me. But now that you have voted for me, what should you do?" , how should I put it, you should understand."

"I understand." Cao Cao asked, "What does your master want me to tell Cheng Zhongde?"

"Tell him, Shouchun City is broken, and you have already served me." Yuan Xu said: "Tell him not to resist anymore, he should surrender, and he still has to surrender."

"Let's start writing." Cao Cao agreed.

When Cao Cao wrote the letter, Yuan Xu asked him: "Shouchun was defeated, do you have any thoughts?"

"That's the fate." Cao Cao replied, "Since the way of heaven belongs to you, my lord, it won't do me any good if I try to fight."

"It's good to know." Yuan Xu nodded: "What do you think I should do next?"

So asking Cao Cao's opinion, Yuan Xu had two purposes.

First, Cao Cao has been a hero for many years, and he has a lot of experience in conquering the world. He must have already planned out what to do next after winning Hebei.

Second, he also knew that Cao Cao would definitely choose to pacify the north in the next step.If this is not the case, this person will not be able to stay.

Cao Cao's answer reassured Yuan Xu a lot: "My lord, you can pacify the north first, and then go south to plot Jingchu and Wu lands."

"Why?" The answer Cao Cao gave was exactly what he wanted, so Yuan Xu asked anyway.

Cao Cao replied: "If the north is not peaceful, my son will surely face the enemy. Once the army goes to the south, Xiliang, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liaodong Gongsun Kang may all launch a surprise attack. Although the son has immortal skills, the north and the south will fight at the same time. Inexperienced."

Yuan Xu nodded: "What you said is indeed reasonable."

Cao Cao had already written the letter at this time, he held it in both hands, stood up and said to Yuan Xu: "Young Master, the letter has been written, please read it."

The guard stepped forward, took it from him, and then handed it over to Yuan Xu.

Browsing through the letter, Yuan Xu asked him: "I heard that you used to calculate your fortune in the early years, and someone told you that you are a hero in troubled times and a capable minister in ruling the world."

Cao Cao was shocked, and quickly replied: "It's all from the early years, so you don't have to worry about it, young master."

"Of course I don't take it to heart." Yuan Xu replied, "But I have to figure out one thing. Do you think this is a chaotic world or a governing one?"

"Governing the world in troubled times is not just based on appearances." Cao Cao replied, "Although the world is in chaos today, in my opinion, it is a peaceful and prosperous world."

"Oh?" After reading the letter, Yuan Xu put it on the table and looked at Cao Cao: "What does Meng De mean by that?"

"Return to my son." Cao Cao replied: "The so-called troubled times mean that the government is weak, the people in the world are in dire straits, and wars and disasters are happening all over the world. The root cause is that the emperor is in power, and officials are like maggots on tarsal bones. Instead of sharing the worries of the court, they are dismantling the pillars. And the so-called governance means that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the root of which is to have a wise king.”

"The emperor is in Yecheng. Although he can handle some things right now, they are all trivial matters." Yuan Xu replied: "Whether he is a wise king or not remains to be seen."

"I'm not talking about the Mingjun Liu Xie." Cao Cao said: "In the early years, I also tried to do my best for the great man. However, the Han Dynasty has collapsed and has no power to recover. The son governs Hebei, and everyone has no worries about food and clothing. This is the real Mingjun. .”

"You mean, you want me to become emperor?" Yuan Xu asked intentionally.

He has been testing Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao really wants him to proclaim himself emperor, his vicious intentions can be seen.

However, Cao Cao didn't say that.

He said to Yuan Xu: "It's not yet time to become emperor, heroes and heroes are everywhere, and people from all walks of life are vying for power. If you become emperor at this time, you will definitely become the target of public criticism."

Yuan Xu nodded: "You are right, and I agree with it."

He changed the subject, with a wicked smile on his face: "I don't know how many young ladies under Meng De's knees have not left the cabinet?"

Cao Cao replied: "Although there are many little girls, they are all underage."

"Cao Hua, Cao Xian, and Cao Jie are all underage?" Yuan Xu asked.

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Yuan Xu: "Master Mingjian, these little girls are just children now. If you like it, you can send it to your family to raise."

"You can take care of me." Yuan Xu said: "But let me say first, I have reserved these ladies, and they are not allowed to be betrothed to others."

Cao Cao replied: "Young master, don't worry, you will never betroth anyone else."

Leaving the Huainan Palace, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was muttering in his heart: Yuan Xianxin was said to be a decent man, and he only married Zhen Mi, and when he came to Huainan, why did he ask me for his daughter.

If at the beginning, there were aides who discussed with him, but now that the army is defeated and the city is broken, it is not easy to save one's life. How could there be aides who would discuss these things with him.

After Cao Cao left, Yuan Xu ordered the guards: "Go and summon all the people under Cao Cao's command to the front hall. I have something to say to them."

After the guards left, Yuan Xu also got up and went out.

He didn't walk very fast, when he arrived at the front hall, all the staff and generals who had been loyal to Cao Cao were already waiting there.

Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan were also waiting there.

Cui Yan was the first to greet him: "My lord, I wonder if the letter is ready?"

Yuan Xu took out the letter and handed it to him: "I'm sorry."

"I'll take my leave first." Cui Yan told her to leave.
