Lu's relatives

Chapter 135
Cheng Yu and Zhang Miao were only short of performing a martial arts performance in front of Cao Ang, but Xi Zhicai, who was being pushed by Cao Ang, closed his eyes slightly and did not say a word.When Zhang Miao revealed in his words that he clearly wanted to persuade Cao Cao to reconcile with Lu Bu, he suddenly opened his eyes and nodded thoughtfully at Cao Cao.

"Could it be that Eunuch Zhang wants the lord to put up with the shame of the unknown hill and the hatred of the captive general for taking food?" Cheng Yu didn't pay attention to the expression of Xi Zhicai as he was facing Zhang Miao all the time. After hearing Zhang Miao's words that it would be unwise to fight against Lv Bu at this time, he suddenly laughed angrily: "If this Lv Bu has no ambitions as you said, it is just a personal guess. Now hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are besieging In Beihai, with Lu Bu's temperament, he will definitely attack outrageously, and use all his forces to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits. It is the time when Linzi is empty. Even if you want to seek Qingzhou, you can only sigh in vain!"

"Cheng Zhongde, Cheng Zhongde! When my lord summoned you, I thought that my lord must be helped, but I didn't expect you to be such a narrow-minded and limited-sighted person!" Zhang Miao hadn't gotten this news before, and now he heard it for the first time. My heart is also trembling, but now that I have said this, even if it is unreasonable, I have to argue three points, otherwise I will be overwhelmed by Cheng Yu, and I will not have the slightest chance to say these things in front of Cao Cao in the future.

"What does Meng Zhuo mean?" Cao Cao was also surprised that Cheng Yu had revealed this currently confidential news, but he was also a little surprised to hear Zhang Miao say that.He also felt a little impressed by his old friend, and asked.

"My lord, forgive Miao for lying!" Zhang Miao did not answer Cao Cao's words directly, but pleaded guilty.

"Meng Zhuo has something to say, but it's okay to say it!" Cao Cao said indifferently. Zhang Miao's words just now did attract Cao Cao's attention.In the final analysis, Cao Cao's mind was not focused on the gains and losses of a state. Compared with the barren Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and even Sili, in Cao Cao's eyes, they were all places within easy reach. Cao Cao also didn't want to put all his energy on the tasteless Qingzhou.

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Miao pondered for a moment, glanced at Xi Zhicai with piercing eyes, and Cao Ang, who was listening with gusto, and said, "I don't know how many times my lord has listened to someone's treachery, and raised the soldiers of the whole state to fight against him a few times. How much damage did Lv Bu's fighting cause to Qingzhou, or Lv Bu's army?"

"Meng Zhuo's words are heartbreaking!" Cao Cao didn't expect Zhang Miao to bring up the old story again. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still took a deep breath and sighed: "Our army has suffered heavy losses. Lu Bu, Lu Bu has Qin Xu Help, the damage is quite small!"

"That's right! My lord said what I said!" Zhang Miao cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what my lord thinks of this Qin Xu?"

"Qin Xu?" Cao Cao really felt that he had underestimated his old friend before, and said after a moment of pondering, "Although this Zhuzi is young, his intelligence is quite commendable. Well! Forget it, fuck Let’s be honest. Qin Xu’s talent, Cao Cao loves him very much, there are not many people who can make Cao suffer such a big loss by using troops in this world, but if he is used by Lu Bu, he will definitely be our great enemy in the future!"

"The lord may guarantee that although Qingzhou is in danger of the Yellow Turban, then Qin Xu will not hold back and just sit back and watch us invade Linzi?" Zhang Miao said 1 times sorry to Lu Bu in his heart, but said with a serious expression on his face: "You know, this Qin Xu is Lv Bu's beloved son-in-law, and Lv Bu has no heirs. The foundation of Qingzhou will be acquired by Qin Xu in a hundred years. What is Qin Xu's ability? How could he hand over Qingzhou so easily?"

"Then Meng Zhuo's meaning?" Cao Cao had roughly understood Zhang Miao's meaning, and looked at Xi Zhicai with the intention of asking.

"Although there are many Yellow Turbans besieging Beihai, most of them are nothing more than a group of refugees. Sooner or later they will be destroyed by Lu Bu. There is no doubt about it. However, I, Yanzhou, have no chance of winning the war against Qingzhou at this time. It will also make Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun and other lord's relatives and generals are in trouble because of this, and the lord needs to make a decision on this joint." Zhang Miao said to Cao Cao with a heartbroken look: "Miao knows that this statement will definitely make the lord suspicious. It will invite villains to make wild speculations, but Miao really can't just watch the lord Yanzhou Jiye being used for ulterior motives by some villains with ulterior motives like this!"

"It's just that I waited several times before... Cough cough, even if someone wants to stop the army, can Lu Bu and Qin Xu in Yanzhou believe it?" Cao Cao thought for a moment, and finally asked a little bit excitedly.

"My lord, don't do it! Lu Bu got Qin Xu's help, which is like adding wings to a tiger. If he doesn't take it at this time, in time, it will definitely become a serious problem for the lord! My lord, don't listen to Zhang Miao's raving words, and think twice!" Cheng Yu saw Cao Cao There were quite signs of heartbeat, and he kowtowed to the ground and shouted loudly.

"My lord! Zhong De's words are justified!" Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and said slowly: "But what brother Meng Zhuo said is also an old-fashioned one. According to Xi, even though Qingzhou has serious internal worries, But it did not pose a direct threat to Lu Bu. If we attack Linzi rashly, the situation that Brother Meng Zhuo is worried about is not impossible. Besides..."

"Besides what?" Cheng Yu's face was already a little happy when he heard Xi Zhicai's first sentence speaking for himself, but after hearing the second part of Xi Zhicai's sentence, Cheng Yu's face almost turned black, before Cao Cao asked a question , asked impatiently.

"Have Zhong De heard of Guo Jia?" Xi Zhicai asked with a wry smile on his face, not caring about Cheng Yu's unkind tone.

"Guo Jia? Could it be that you and Xun Yu often said that you are as resourceful as your fellow countryman?" Cheng Yu really didn't know how to respect people, so he asked this question in the slightest, and even Cao Cao frowned.

"It's not just about being with someone!" Xi Zhicai sighed slightly: "If you say that Ximou admires Qin Xu quite a lot, but the few times we meet, it's not that Ximou is talking wildly, and his wisdom and Ximou plus Wen Ruo are not inferior. How much, it’s just that Guo Jia, heck, from the perspective of Ximou, his talent is more than ten times that of Qin Xu. If Lu Bu can be compatible and reused, I am afraid that if we really have the intention to take the opportunity to attack Linzi this time, Ximou will almost It is certain that our army will be defeated!"

What Xi Zhicai said was actually a little heavy.Even Cao Cao's face changed drastically because of it.Only then did he remember that when Qin Xu came to Chenliu that day, he seemed to have brought a thin scholar with him.However, at that time Cao Cao was very angry by Qin Xu's sharp words to "revenge" Lu Bu, and then he focused on dealing with Yuan Shu who was attacked in the rear, so he ignored it. The tendency to darken.

"What Mr. Xi said, our army can only watch Lu Bu grow stronger step by step in Qingzhou, will he not lose his tail in the end?" Cheng Yu obviously didn't approve of Xi Zhicai's words, his face flushed and he said angrily.

"Mr. Zhongde, don't overestimate Qingzhou!" Xi Zhicai didn't care much about Cheng Yu's attitude, and said with a smile: "Compared with Qingzhou, it seems that there is no need for Xi to elaborate? In just a few years, this rise In the end, unless Lu Bu can accumulate enough strength to control Xuzhou in the south, or defeat Yuan Shao Gongsun Zan in the north, and obtain the three prefectures of You, Bing, and Ji, there will be a way to survive. The brains of the people are empty of heroic aspirations and useless, but they are just tigers in cages and dragons in the shoals, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Mr. Xi's words are very good! Cao Cao has been taught!" Cao Cao quickly woke up from the slumped state of missing Guo Jia, his eyes were clear, and he smiled at Cheng Yu who was still angry: " Zhong De's ability is in the military strategy. In this matter, he should really listen to Mr. Xi's words. Besides, Cao Ren Xiahou and others are still in Qingzhou. If Lu Bu's anger really happened , the blow to my Yanzhou is not a trivial matter. Just let Lu Bu and Qin Xu live a few more days!"

"My lord is wise!" Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, the three of them could only say in unison, but Cheng Yu's complexion had already turned the color of a pig's liver, and the sweat on his forehead was already densely covered. He was already a little out of breath after saying these four words. I can't help it, I still insist on it and refuse to go on.

"Since the strike against Qingzhou can not only sell Lu Bu, but also get Cao Ren Xiahou and others back, the matter is settled like this, but..." Cao Cao set the tone, but suddenly remembered something, biting Biting his lip, he said hesitantly: "It's just that although this Qin Xu holds the official position of Qingzhou Mufu's young mansion and Zuo General's mansion, he does a lot of businessman's actions. The last time he was worried about Yuan Shu, he was caught by that man. Li Zi was very angry. In the end, tens of thousands of military rations were blackmailed, so what if we propose to stop the troops this time, lest Qin Xu take the opportunity to act maliciously, what should I do?"

"My lord, don't worry, Xi recommends someone who can directly persuade Lv Bu. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages, maybe you can return Cao Ren Xiahou generals and the Wei family son without spending any money!" Xi Zhicai smiled and glanced at Zhang Miao, Cao Cao said.

"Mr. Xi is talking about Meng Zhuo? This..." Although Cao Cao's trust in his old friend has increased a lot because of Cheng Yu's temptation, it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Miao and Lu Bu have a deep friendship. He also hesitated at the moment, and said: "It's not that I don't trust Meng Zhuo. Although Lv Bu is unjust, he can't do much to detain the envoy. Cao is worried that Qin Xu's son will get in the way again? You must know that Linzi officialdom has been in chaos since a certain order was withdrawn to withdraw some of the administrative officials sent to Qingzhou, and Qin Xu is a kid who is used to deceiving people, even three of Yuan Shao's four confidant advisers were deceived by him. Now he is still working for Lu Bu in Jinan, Meng Zhuo is an important minister of Chen Liu, he is in charge of him, I am really afraid..."

"My lord, you don't need to be anxious. You can send another group of administrative officials to go with Zhang Taishou, and expressly say that for the sake of being a Hanzhou county, you will be generous and help each other. Xi can guarantee that Qin Xu will not embarrass brother Meng Zhuo !" Xi Zhicai said, staring at Zhang Miao with brilliance in his eyes.

"In that case, let's do it like this!" Cao Cao smacked his lower lip indifferently, and agreed with Xi Zhicai's suggestion.

"Father, my son also wants to go with Uncle Meng Zhuo!" Cao Ang, who had been pushing Xi Zhicai's four-wheeled cart, said suddenly when Cao Cao was about to issue the order to drive away the guests.

"Ang'er? You?" Not only Cao Cao, but even Cheng Yu and the other three looked at Cao Ang with a firm face in surprise, and they couldn't believe what Cao Ang said.

"Eldest Prince..." Cheng Yu was about to make a suggestion, but was stopped by Cao Cao waving his hand.

"Ang'er, do you know how dangerous this trip is? You are the eldest son of a certain person, so you don't need to take such risks!" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice with surprise, satisfaction, worry, and relief in his eyes. .

"Ang must have this kind of behavior. Then Qin Xu and Ang can do such a great thing in the same year, so that his father regards him as the enemy of the world. As the eldest son of his father, how can Ang fall behind and make his father lose face?" Cao Ang said loudly.

"Okay!" Before the three of Xi Zhicai could speak, Cao Cao responded loudly with a smile, "As expected of me, Cao Cao's son! Don't worry, Anger, if you get hurt in the slightest in Qingzhou, as a father, you will try your best to avoid it in Yanzhou." , but also to send troops to vent your anger for you!"

"Thank you father! Ang Ding lives up to his mission!" Cao Ang saluted Cao Cao deeply, and then said with some concern: "It's just mother..."

"Cough cough! Where is your mother, as a father, I will temporarily hide it for you for a while!" Hearing Cao Ang mention Mrs. Ding, even Cao Cao, who was called a traitor by later generations, also paused, quite a bit said embarrassingly.
