Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 66 Making a plan for Cao Cao

However, Cao Cao ran out of Luoyang City directly after failing to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and did not return to Dongjun.

Just like what Liu Qi said, there are no soldiers and horses in Dongjun, and they are just throwing themselves into the net when they go back, so only Chen Liu and his father are the safest. Zhicai and Xun Yu asked them to meet him in Chenliu.

But when he returned to Chenliu, he sat down with his father and was about to discuss things.

"Master, there is a person named Liu Qi outside who wants to see you!" the housekeeper said to Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.

"Liu Qi?"

Before Cao Song could speak, he saw Cao Cao standing up from his chair in surprise, his tone still a little excited.

"Exactly!" Although the butler didn't understand why Cao Cao had such a big reaction when he heard the name, he still gave a clear answer.

"Quick, please!" Cao Cao waved.

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

Cao Song looked at Cao Cao's reaction and said, "Is this person Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, the shepherd of Jingzhou?"

Ps: The title of State Shepherd was changed from Inspector to State Shepherd after Dong Zhuo took charge of the dynasty.

"Go back to father, that's right!" Cao Cao said.

He also didn't understand how Liu Qi, who had never heard from him, would appear here. If Liu Qi had stayed in Luoyang, he might not have become like this, but with Liu Qi, he might be able to get out of the current predicament.

But still a little puzzled why Liu Qi came to visit his father, and didn't feel that Liu Qi knew he was here at all.

soon
The butler walked in with Liu Qi and five people.

"Have you met Uncle Cao? Brother Meng De is here too?" Liu Qi saluted Cao Song who was sitting on the middle hall as soon as he entered, and then looked at Cao Cao in astonishment.

Guo Jia and the others behind him wanted to laugh when they saw Liu Qi's actions. After all, they were all insiders.

Hearing that, Cao Cao was a little depressed. He was so big sitting here, but he didn't even see what kind of eyes it was. Even if he saw it now, he didn't need to have such a big reaction.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi's next words made Cao Cao so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Brother Meng De is now a famous person. When I first came here from the city, I saw Brother Meng De's arrest warrant, and whoever captures Brother Meng De will be rewarded with a thousand gold and ten thousand households. Tsk tsk, this is a very rich reward. Well, isn't Brother Meng De afraid that I'll arrest you and send you to the court?" Liu Qi jokingly said.

Cao Cao was helpless, why didn't he realize that Liu Qi had such a character before, so he stood up and said, "Ahem, I don't think my good brother Liu Qi would do this, right?"

"That's hard to say!" Liu Qi said.

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed. He knew three of the four people behind Liu Qi. If Liu Qi really wanted to attack him, there was really no room for resistance. Huang Zhong and Dian Wei could easily take him down. .

"Nephew Liu Qi, let's sit down and talk first. The butler serves tea!" Cao Song, who had been silent all this time, also helped Cao Cao resolve Cao Cao's embarrassment at this time. Of course, he also saw that Liu Qi came here this time without any malice.

Liu Qi wasn't playing Cao Cao either, so he found a seat and sat down.

Cao Cao also recovered, sat opposite Liu Qi, and said, "I don't know why brother Liu Qi is in Chenliu?"

Liu Qi picked up the tea brought by the butler, took a sip, and then said: "I was traveling around the Central Plains, and I happened to pass by Chenliu, and I thought that brother Meng De's father was in Chenliu. Yes, but I didn't expect to run into the matter of you being wanted, Brother Meng De!"

Of course he wouldn't tell the truth, could it be that he told Cao Cao that he had been waiting in Chenliu since he left Luoyang, and bought some gifts on the way in order to pretend to be a little more attractive.

"Nephew Liu Qi has a heart!" Cao Song heard that he came to visit him on a special trip, and he didn't miss his word. He glanced at Cao Cao, then at Liu Qi, and continued: "Let's have a chat, I'll take a rest in the back hall fan!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up directly from his seat, and walked into the back hall with the help of the maid.

"Brother Meng De, you seem to be in trouble this time!" Liu Qi said after Cao Song left.

Cao Cao smiled wryly, and said: "It's a big trouble, I wonder what kind of clever brother Liu Qi can help me out of this predicament?"

"Brother Meng De, do you regret what you did?" Liu Qi answered the wrong question.

"I don't regret it, it's just that I didn't expect that the trick would be seen through. I was only a little bit close to getting rid of Dong Zhuo and returning the court to a bright future!" Cao Cao said affirmatively.

Liu Qi looked at Cao Cao in astonishment. He didn't expect that Cao Cao still cared about the world of the big man, but after the experience, he probably didn't have such thoughts, and this time Cao Cao was used by Wang Yun. Dong Zhuo died, in order to appease the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command, he also wanted to withdraw Cao Cao, so he said: "There is a plan!"

"What's the plan?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

Although he knew that Liu Qi was smart, he never thought that Liu Qi could really help him out of the predicament.

"I heard that there is a rich man here, named Wei Hong, who donates money and gives righteousness to others. If you can get his help, half of the work can be completed, and the last half needs the help of Brother Benchu ​​to complete it!" Liu Qi said indifferently. Said.

"Yuan Shao? If it weren't for him, how could it be like this now!" Cao Cao became angry when he mentioned Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao hadn't pushed foreign soldiers to enter the capital with all his strength, the current situation would not have happened.

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "This matter is over, isn't it? What is needed now is a remedy. You can go to Wei Hong and ask him to help you, recruit soldiers and buy horses, form a rebel army to challenge Dong, and send people to Bohai to invite Ben The first brother led the army to come to meet, unite together, and issue the manuscripts of discussing Dong to the princes of the world. 0”

Taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Brother Meng De's reputation for assassinating Dong Zhuo, coupled with the status of brother Ben Chu as the fourth generation and third prince, will definitely make the world's princes respond, so why not be afraid of facing Dong Zhuo's 20 troops? ?”

Cao Cao also became silent. He felt that what Liu Qi said was very reasonable. If he was the only one who issued the manuscript to the princes of the world, no one would pay attention to him, just like He Jin, except those who were loyal to Han. Apart from Ding Yuan's response, only the ambitious Dong Zhuo responded.

Liu Qi didn't continue talking either, drinking tea lightly.

"So, let's do what Brother Liu Qi said!" Cao Cao also made up his mind, and then asked, "I wonder how long Brother Liu Qi will stay in Chenliu?"

"Should be staying for a while, you can come to me if you have something to do, but brother Meng De should be busy now, so I'll take my leave first!" Liu Qi stood up and said.

Liu Qi didn't know if he was adding power to his opponent now!

"We will definitely come to visit at that time!" Cao Cao didn't want to keep him either.

Cao Cao also stood up from his seat, and sent Liu Qi and five people out of the mansion before making arrangements.
