Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 378 The Death of Xu You

Hearing Cao Cao's words seemed to be joking.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also understood the meaning of Cao Cao's words. They were preparing to mention this matter in the court, and the most important thing was to agree.

"My lord, maybe there's something wrong with this?" Xun Yu said with some doubts.

Xi Zhicai also nodded in agreement. Although the current regime of the Han Dynasty can't command the other princes at all, there is still a certain difference in comparison with the imperial decree issued by the emperor.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao said disapprovingly.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at each other.

"My lord, Liu Qi, shepherd of Jingzhou, obviously has other plans for sending the memorial. Once we don't hand over the memorial to the court, then Liu Qi will become king in Yizhou without name and title, which is a big treasonous thing; If it is recognized, then it will be different." Xi Zhicai said.

"The subordinate agrees with what the military master said!" Xun Yu also cupped his hands, "Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Qi chose to become king at the same time as the lord, and the significance is self-evident!"

heard.

Cao Cao shook his head, as if he disagreed with what Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu said.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also noticed Cao Cao's actions, and they were also a little puzzled. They didn't know if there was a problem there, but there should be nothing wrong with it.

The two looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Not sure what is missing there.

"What you said is not wrong, but you have forgotten something!"

At this time, Cao Cao's voice also sounded, and said: "Liu Qi must know what you can think of, but he still sent someone to send up the memorial, and sent it directly to my mansion instead of the palace. I will send the memorial to the palace, if I do not nod, His Majesty will not agree!"

Hear Cao Cao's words.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also came to their senses, no matter whether they were sent to the palace or not, even if they mentioned it in court, if they disagreed, Emperor Han Xian would never issue an imperial edict.

If they agreed, even if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty disagreed, they would obediently issue the imperial decree.

Now in the court, except for some stupid and loyal veterans, they are all from their side, and they also control all the military power.

thought here.

They also somewhat understood why Cao Cao shook their heads. Indeed, they had forgotten something.

however.

Cao Cao didn't pay any attention to Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, who were absent-minded, and continued: "Furthermore, Liu Qi sent the memorial, and he didn't want us to agree to his claiming the title of king. You won't care too much about it, and the Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Nanman, and Yanzhou controlled by Liu Qi will not have any changes because of this!"

"The reason why I sent someone to send the memorial, and even sent it directly to my mansion, is just to send a signal, so why don't I let him change his name, and don't forget, Liu Qi is the clan of the Han Dynasty! "

Done.

Cao Cao's eyes also showed fighting intent. He had thought about it before, and finally realized Liu Qi's intention. It was not just sending a memorial, but also had other deep meanings.

I also understand that Liu Qi doesn't care whether he agrees or not.

Even if he disagreed, he was sure that Liu Qi would definitely become king in Yizhou at the same time he was crowned king. He may have already been preparing for it now. Unlike Liu Bei and others, he would not wait until he was crowned king, and then find an excuse to stand on his own be king.

The most important thing is that Liu Qi is expressing his attitude to him, and that is enough.

"Since this is the case, I will follow what my lord said, and we will facilitate this matter in the court tomorrow morning!"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also spoke in unison.

Of course, if they want to object, there are reasons, but according to Cao Cao's current status, they may not accept it, and they all understand that there is no difference between supporting and not supporting.

Although there is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Qi said that if he becomes king, he will definitely become king, and he will not change because of their disagreement. After all, the current Han regime exists in name only, and no princes will obey the imperial edict at all, unless it is beneficial to the princes of.

However, this is also because it is Liu Qi, the identity of the clan of the Han family. If Yuan Shao and others were replaced, they would not agree so smoothly.

Even if Yuan Shao and others will establish themselves as kings in the future, there is a difference.

"So, let's go down and make some preparations. When I go to court tomorrow morning, I will go to court with the memorial sent by Liu Qi!" Cao Cao said.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also bowed their hands and retreated.

They also understood what Cao Cao meant, which was to tell all his subordinates not to make trouble tomorrow. As for those foolish and loyal veterans, they didn't care at all.

Wait for Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu to leave.

Cao Cao also packed the letter sent by Liu Qi, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Liu Qi's actions are not showing his attitude to him.

That's one of the reasons he would agree.

"Report, my lord, please see Master Xu You!"

While Cao Cao was thinking about something, a guard came in and reported.

Xu You?

A trace of doubt flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, he didn't understand why Xu You came to the door, so he said, "Let him in!"

Although I don't understand it, I still have to see it.

"No!" The guard bowed his hands and retreated.

Cao Cao didn't pay too much attention to it, and casually put the prepared memorial on the table.

From time to time...

"I have seen the lord!" Xu You, who walked in, cupped his hands.

"Ziyuan, don't be too polite, sit down and talk!" Cao Cao laughed.

Since Xu You joined his camp, he is also clear about what happened, but Xu You is his friend, and he has made some contributions. It's just a small friction, so he can't say much. I just improved.

Xu You didn't know what was going on in Cao Cao's mind, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. He is a "madman" Xu You. If he changed, would it still be him!
So he bowed his hands to Cao Cao and sat down on a chair beside him.

"I don't know why Ziyuan came here?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

He remembered that he had arranged things for Xu You, and with Xu You's ability, there shouldn't be any problems.

Xu You didn't have any hidden intentions either, and instead of answering Cao Cao's question, he asked, "I don't know why my lord summoned the military advisor and Master Xun?"

heard.

Cao Cao frowned, then unfurled his brows, and said with a smile, "It's nothing special, just asking about the matter of becoming a king. Could it be that Ziyuan is also interested?"

"The things in my subordinate's hands are not finished, so I don't have any thoughts!" Xu You replied.

He also knew in his heart that Cao Cao was perfunctory to him, and he also saw the memorial that Cao Cao had casually placed on the table.

"If Ziyuan has nothing important to do, we can talk about it later, I still have some things to deal with!" Cao Cao said.

"In this case, the subordinates don't dare to disturb the lord, and come to discuss it when they have time!"

Xu You also stood up from his seat, saluted Cao Cao, and walked out, as if he really had nothing to do.
