Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 72 Wang Yun Said Cao Cao

One day after another banquet, Cao Cao was about to go home when the eunuch Wang Yun grabbed Cao Cao. "Meng De, don't go back in a hurry, I'm in the middle of drinking, and I have good wine at home, can I drink it again?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and he was cautious about Wang Yun, so he couldn't refuse directly, and agreed, "Then disturb me."

The wine is good wine, but the words are not nutritious. After drinking for three rounds, Wang Yun sent all the servants away, and said half-jokingly: "Why is Meng De so depressed?"

"To tell you the truth, I have recently contracted a headache. When I get it, I have a splitting headache. Only after drinking can I fall asleep."

"Hahaha, Meng De was joking. Meng De is not suffering from a headache, but a heart disease." Wang Yun took a sip of his wine and said slowly.

"Why did the eunuch say that, what's wrong with me?"

"I think Meng De is worried about the court situation."

"There is a Taiwei in charge of the overall situation, and the three princes perform their duties. The eunuchs have been eliminated, and the Yellow Turban has been leveled. Now that the world is at peace, I have nothing to worry about."

"At this time, there are only you and me, so I might as well speak bluntly. Ever since the Taiwei abolished the emperor, the power has been monopolized, and the government has changed every day, and the people have suffered terribly. After Zhang Wen died, the ministers saw the Taiwei as if they were on pins and needles. They were afraid that if they disagreed, their lives would be lost." .Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu left Beijing one after another in order to protect themselves. The remaining people are drunk and dreaming of death every day. Every time I think of this, my heart is pierced. Looking at all the people in the court, only you have the heart of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. Talk to Meng De." Wang Yun stared at Cao Cao without blinking.

"Too much talk, which minister in the court doesn't want to serve the court?"

"Serve the imperial court? Nowadays, everyone can't protect their own safety and wealth. They don't want to serve the imperial court. Only Meng De is worried, and he is thinking about the country."

Cao Cao drank in silence.

"Look at the people around him, a group of unprofessional warriors and sloppy bastards, they just want to win Meng De to join him." Seeing Cao Cao's indifference, Wang Yun said again: "Seeing this , Many scholar-bureaucrats remain lofty and refuse to be humiliated, or resign from office, go into seclusion, or confront him. I have to endure the humiliation and wait for the time. Whenever I think of these, I can’t sleep at night. I only hate myself for being weak. What Mengde thought , are you the same as me?"

"Oh...does the eunuch think so?" Cao Cao asked, but his hands were sweating. He was cautious enough. How did Wang Yun see it? Did someone else have doubts about him? ?

"Does Meng De think that the Taiwei treats you very well? Meng De must have thought that he was interested in your thousands of soldiers and horses, but it is not the case. Apart from Dong Zhuo having fought a few battles in the frontier, how can He De preside over the government? No prestige How can hopelessness be compared with the great Confucianists and learned scholars in the imperial court? In fact, he regards Mengde as a stepping stone to control the scholar-bureaucrats. His superficial modesty to the talented and learned scholars is just a show, pretending to be elegant. .”

Hearing this, the corners of Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched.

"What's more, the Taiwei regards himself as Huo Guang. I think what he does is imitating Wang Mang. Looking at the decrees he implemented, which one is beneficial to the court and the people? I think he wants to attract people's hearts and has other plans."

"The servant thinks the lieutenant is trying to usurp the throne?" Cao Cao put down his wine glass.

"Then Dong Zhuo first abolished the emperor, eradicated dissidents, promoted individuals, solicited people's hearts, suppressed clansmen, and promoted the so-called New Deal. It is the same as what Wang Mang did back then?" Wang Yun said.

Cao Cao's heart was agitated, no wonder Wang Yun wanted to protect Yuan Shao, he thought that Dong Zhuo was not only chaotic but also had the ambition to usurp the throne, and he wanted to restrict Dong Zhuo through local forces, so why did he come to him?Is this Wang Yun's own idea, or was he instigated by others, and who is instigating him?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao still held his breath, and said slowly: "Forgive me for being superficial, I have never thought of it before."

"Could it be that this kind of day of debauchery and drunkenness is what Meng De wants? Doesn't Meng De want to be a famous official who helps the Han Dynasty and wipes out the thieves? After hearing that Meng De is the virtuous minister Cao Shen, doesn't Meng De want to repeat the great achievements of his ancestors?" Wang Yun began to confuse Cao Cao.

"The eunuch is joking. I'm just a school lieutenant. I have more energy than I have. My lord should discuss it with the ministers."

"Meng De's words are wrong. I think that although Meng De is now a school lieutenant, in terms of courage and talent, he is far superior to the ministers of the Sangong. The Sangong has already lost his courage." Wang Yun talked eloquently, "Dong Zhuo's heavy troops are all outside the city. , You and I join forces in the capital to achieve great things, we will stick to Luoyang, and then tell the local state herdsmen to come to serve the king, Dong Zhuo's army will be wiped out in ashes, and the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner."

Cao Cao was surprised. Wang Yun's ambition was not small. He didn't want to overthrow Dong Zhuo, but to replace Dong Zhuo. He quickly went through Wang Yun's background in his mind. Wang Yun came from a wealthy family, and his ancestors were officials for generations. Served as Shi Yushi and Yuzhou Governor.

"May I ask the eunuch, who else is involved in this matter?" Cao Cao asked.

"I'm afraid that the news will leak out on such a confidential matter, so I only discuss it with Meng De. Meng De doesn't need to worry. Now the ministers of the court are forced by Dong Thief's power, and dare not speak out. The loyal people are already ready to go. If When things are done, you only need to raise your arms and call, and naturally thousands of calls will be answered." Wang Yun replied confidently.

Cao Cao shook his head, "I have only a few thousand soldiers under my command, far inferior to Lv Bu, and Lv Bu is brave enough to win."

"Why do you want to fight against Lu Bu? Meng De is now highly valued by Dong Bandit, so he can take this opportunity to assassinate this bandit. Once Dong Bandit dies, his subordinates will lose their leaders and will inevitably disperse. If I use the emperor's edict to recruit Lu Bu, how can Lu Bu resist the order? So Luoyang can be determined, it just depends on whether Meng De has the courage and courage."

Cao Cao picked up his wine glass again.

"Could it be that Meng De is afraid? If he is afraid, Meng De can report to me in front of Dong thief. I will never blame you. I only hate that I have misunderstood the wrong person." Wang Yun looked generous and righteous.

"What is the servant saying? I, Cao Cao, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"If Mengde succeeds, all the military power in the capital will be in his hands, and he will be credited with assassinating Dong Bandit. If you become famous, you must be the great general. No one in the world knows you, Cao Mengde!" Wang Yun began to promise.

Cao Cao's beating heartbeat, if he succeeds, it will be a great credit, and he may never meet again in his life.It is worth it if the prince is defeated and becomes a bandit!bet!
Cao Cao made up his mind, nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try."

"You and I drink this cup to the brim, and I wish Meng Dema success." Wang Yun was elated, and picked up the wine glass.

Cao Cao held his wine glass and said: "Don't be anxious, servant, this matter will have to wait for a few days, and I will find a convenient weapon."

"Hahaha, don't worry about Mengde, everything has been prepared for you."
