Lu's relatives

Chapter 124 The Out of Control Cao Cao
What Xi Zhicai said made Cao Jun, Wenwu and everyone in the hall suddenly feel bright.

Qin Xu, oh Qin Xu, forgive you for having a lot of tricks in your heart, you are still young and careless after all!Are you dumbfounded by what Mr. Xi said?Want to blackmail someone?There are no doors!Let's see how you, Qin Xu, end up this time.

Listen to what Mr. Xi said is so reasonable, even if Wei is a Yanzhou Shangcao, so what if it is really a yellow scarf?What's the matter with my master?What's more, Wei Que has nothing to do with the Yellow Turban at all, even if you say to break the sky, someone has to believe it.

Compared with Lu Bu's impression in the eyes of the world, although Cao Cao was scolded as an eunuch, he was still much better than Lu Bu, who was said to have killed his father, and his son was his father's concubine.

"Mr. Xi's words are indeed reasonable! It seems that the yellow scarf giant Wei has no direct connection with General Cao!" Qin Xu seemed to agree with Xi Zhicai's words very much, and said: "If that's the case, then Qin will report it when he returns. General Lu, the justice will be done after the public trial. Don't worry, General Cao's reputation must not be ruined anyway."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Qin! Xi has not finished talking!" Xi Zhicai chuckled, not being moved by Qin Xu's aggressive approach, and said calmly: "Although this person's behavior has nothing to do with Mr. Cao, But after all, he used to be a merchant of Yanzhou, and Mr. Cao was deeply shocked that the people of Yanzhou had connections with the Yellow Turbans. If we don’t find out the truth, I’m really sorry for Mr. Cao’s previous achievements in defeating the Yellow Turbans. Moreover, Master Qin also said just now, Since we are both Han officials, how about asking Lu Qingzhou to show off his face and let Mr. Cao find out the authenticity of this person for General Lu?"

"Of course not..." Qin Xu was about to object subconsciously, but suddenly felt Guo Jia beside him tugged at his lapel. Qin Xu turned his head, just in time to see Guo Jia's silent mouth shape, and stopped talking.The doubts in my heart became more intense.Xi Zhicai is also a man of high intelligence and scheming, so there shouldn't be so many loopholes in his words, right?Anyone with a scheming mind knows that Wei Que was originally an official of Yanzhou. Since he committed a major crime in Qingzhou, there is no reason to send him back to Yanzhou. Isn't this letting the "tiger" go back to the mountain?At that time, whether Wei Que has anything to do with the Yellow Turban, isn't it just a matter of Cao Cao's words.Isn't this kind of rhetoric an obvious excuse for Qin Xu to refuse?What is Xi Zhicai trying to do?
Wei family!Qin Xu was startled, and immediately understood Xi Zhicai's intention for doing this!How cruel!This Xi Zhicai is worthy of being Cao Cao's mastermind, a figure that even Guo Jia fears.

Thanks to Guo Jia for reminding me!Otherwise, maybe Xi Zhicai really got involved.

Originally, Qin Xu used Wei Que and Zichuan Huangjin's affair to pose a problem to Cao Cao.If Cao Cao wanted to redeem Wei Que, he would have to pay a price that made Cao Cao's heart hurt if the Yellow Turban bandits were involved, and the Wei family's fear of reputation might not pay the bill; Offended the Wei family who controlled almost two-thirds of Yanzhou's finances.So no matter whether Cao Cao chooses to redeem Wei Que or not, it can achieve the purpose of separating Cao Cao and the Wei family, and leaves Cao Cao with nothing to say.

But Xi Zhicai made such a mess because he knew the relationship between Cao Cao and the Wei family. After he said a lot of high-sounding words, he finally threw the problem to the Qingzhou side. come out.

Yangmou!An upright conspiracy!What Xi Zhicai said seemed to be full of loopholes, but it forced the Qingzhou side to either let Wei Que go and come back to fulfill Cao Cao's wishes, or simply kill Wei Que for Cao Cao. It's not good to leave Cao Cao.

"Of course not... It's not that we can't discuss it!" The most difficult thing to deal with in time is Yang Mou. He knows that there is a pit ahead but he has to jump down obediently. Now Qin Xu also understands the powerlessness of Cao Jun just now. With a wry smile, he said, "Mr. Xi is indeed the mastermind of General Cao! He is indeed very clever and unparalleled in eloquence!"

"Master Qin is ridiculously praised!" Xi Zhicai said without any complacency, "Then please continue the topic just now, Master Qin. Although my master General Cao is deeply impressed by Lu Qingzhou's kindness, he is still willing Pay for the expenses of the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun in Qingzhou. Since these two are the "foodies" that the chief secretary of Qin just joked about, they must have spent the most on food and drink, right? According to the play, just follow the two people's Doubling the monthly salary should be enough, right?"

Xi Zhicai!You are really ruthless!Qin Xu frowned and thought to himself.By salary?Also double?The combined annual salary of Cao Ren and Cao Chun is only two thousand shi, let alone the monthly salary?How much can you double?Is it possible that we, the "successful people" who came from thousands of years later, were fooled by a veteran at the end of Han Dynasty?
"Since Mr. Xi said so, Qin will certainly agree!" Under the teasing eyes of Cao Jun in the hall, Qin Xu took a deep breath, and there was no embarrassment on his face that his "trickster" was seen through, and he said to Cao Cao: "General Cao! You can rest assured to prepare, after Qin returns to Qingzhou, he will be able to pick up Cao Ren and Cao Chun back!"

"Okay, okay!" Cao Cao was in a good mood when he saw that Qin Xu had finally succumbed to Xi Zhicai's hands, and even let go of his doubts about the conversation between Xi Zhicai and the equally sick scribe next to Qin Xu. Standing aside, he smiled and said to Qin Xu: "Since this is the case, then Cao has accepted Fengxian's love, and will bring Cao Ren and the two back in a few days. Save them from causing trouble for Fengxian." !"

"Naturally!" Qin Xu nodded with a smile, and said, "Qin will definitely tell Lu Qingzhou about General Cao's intentions. Since Yanzhou is busy now, then Qin will not stay any longer. Thank you General Cao for your hospitality! Tomorrow morning Let's go back to Qingzhou!"

"Wait!" Seeing that Qin Xu was about to leave without a word, Cao Cao murmured inwardly, and only glanced at Xi Zhi, who was frowning slightly. Obviously, this Mr. Xi did not expect Qin Xu to be so happy Just "admit defeat", pondered for a while, and said to Qin Xu: "What about Wei Que? I don't know how Master Qin should deal with it?"

"General Cao is serious! This matter is just a small master Qin, how dare he treat it as a word?" Qin Xu pretended to leave, and Guo Jia on the side didn't even move to get up.Hearing Cao Cao's question, Qin Xu suddenly looked stunned, and said firmly, "General Cao, don't worry, Mr. Xi just made a good suggestion, someone in Qin thinks it is quite feasible, and he will definitely follow it up when he returns to Qingzhou. Report to Wen Hou, and I will definitely give General Cao a satisfactory answer when the time comes!"

Cao Cao's nose was almost twisted by anger.Cao Ren and Cao Chun, you can replace Lu Bu to make the decision, but when it's Wei's turn, you just procrastinate.Are you playing with people?If you really wait for you to go back and report to Lu Bu before giving an answer?It is estimated that it will be good to wait until there is news in the year of the monkey!how?If the treacherous trick is seen through, do you have to use the procrastination formula?Ghosts believe your blandishments.But knowing that Qin Xu was trying to evade, Cao Cao could only stare blankly at the bottom of what Xi Zhi said just now. The matter of Wei Que was different from Cao Ren and Cao Chun, as it involved two Hanzhou counties. If there is a problem with the official system, you can't order Lu Bu to send people here immediately.Not to mention that Lu Bu and Cao Cao are both shepherds of the Han state, even if Cao Cao is higher in rank than Lu Bu, Lu Bu must be willing to listen to him.Everyone can speak beautiful words, and you can have a good time even if you promise something, but you can't stand this procrastination.Although the Wei family helped Cao Cao, it was based on the strength of Lao Cao. If he knew that Wei was suffering in Qingzhou, he would be helpless, and it would inevitably be trouble in the end.

Furthermore, Cao Cao learned from insiders in Qingzhou that the chief defense officer of the Jinan Kingdom is not ordinary now. He was fooled by Qin Xu.If something happened to Wei but he couldn't stand it, it is not yet known whether the Wei family can still support Cao Cao as much as they do now.

"Then what advice does Master Qin have for teaching someone?" Xi Zhicai asked in a concentrated voice after receiving the cue from Cao Cao's eyes, his slightly closed eyes staring straight at Qin Xu's face.Just now seeing Qin Xu's expression of indifference despite being choked, Xi Zhicai knew that this kid would never just let it go.

really.

"Mr. Xi is extremely intelligent, and Mr. Qin is still young, so how dare he say whether to teach or not." Qin Xu smiled and cupped his hands at Xi Zhicai and said, "Actually, Mr. Qin should thank Mr. Xi for his teaching just now. This is also the case, and it also reminded Qin of a question. No matter whether this Wei is having an affair with the Yellow Turban as Mr. Xi said, or he is a giant of the Yellow Turban himself, since he can easily contact the Zichuan Yellow Turban, who can guarantee it? Will it be connected with other Yellow Turban forces? This is related to the rectification of Qingzhou. The matter is of great importance. Naturally, Qin Xu is not willing to be self-sufficient. He must go back and report to Ming Wenhou to see if he can find something valuable from this thief. By the way, I seem to remember that General Cao said just now that Wei seemed to be visiting Qingzhou with Cao Ren and Cao Chun, right? Well, it seems..."

"This... Master Qin misunderstood! Please stop!" Rao Xi Zhicai was extremely clever, but he was a little helpless with Qin Xu's procrastination formula, so he had to speak for Cao Cao.The so-called wise man is bound to make a mistake, the key is that Yanzhou does not have the initiative. If he does not offer a price that satisfies Qingzhou, Qin Xu can only ask Lu Bu for instructions if he cannot get a satisfactory answer. , then Cao Cao really has nothing to do.The two prefectures of Yanzhou and Qingzhou are more than 500 miles apart, and it takes six or seven days for a fast horse to go back and forth without stopping.This matter is delayed.

You can't really exchange Qin Xu and Lu Bu, can you?It's fine if you can't beat it, but if you detain the envoy who took the initiative to reconcile, then you will be ridiculed by the world!What's more, there are still Yuan Shu and the Southern Huns' coalition forces in Yanzhou. Even if Cao Cao doesn't take the world's public opinion seriously, he has to estimate what the consequences will be if he really annoys Lu Bu.

"Actually, this matter is very simple!" Qin Xu saw that Cao Jun's expression changed several times, and he must have almost reached the point. Finally, he bared his teeth and showed an incomparably "sincere" smile. The states are adjacent to each other, just as Qin said just now, I believe that Wenhou and General Cao also have a brotherhood!"

"Master Qin, please make it clear!" Cao Cao's voice was extremely cold, even if Qin Xu was rushing to hug his thigh now, Cao Cao would probably kick the matter.It's all here.Under Qin Xu's nonsense, he had already lost all his face, so Cao Cao didn't have the heart to talk about it.Yuan Shu is still outside the house, who the hell has the heart to argue with you little doll.
