The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Jia Xu smiled sideways and said, "Cao Cao has always been against us, taking us as the main opponent. Now that Liu Rui has become his opponent, I don't think Cao Cao will be much more leisurely than us."

Dong Zhuo seemed to understand the meaning behind Jia Xu's words, and suddenly smiled, "You mean to say..."

"Yes!" Jia Xu said: "Now we only need to provoke a dispute between the two of them. They are both powerful princes. If two tigers fight each other, one will be injured, and the remaining one will be greatly weakened. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the two of them are almost fighting, we will come out to reap the fruits and reap the benefits of the fish."

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Good idea, haha!" Xuan frowned again, and said, "If they both worry about this section and refuse to fight each other, but instead join hands, what should we do first to deal with us?"

"Haha!!" Jia Xu said with a smile, "My lord has been thinking too much, they can't do anything if they do anything. Liu Rui has been attacking all over the place recently, and he has wiped out Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang. If we talk to the emperor and say that Liu Rui is in a high position, if Allowing him to conquer the feudal lords and strengthen himself may endanger the rule of the Han Dynasty. The emperor must have some concerns, so we suggest to the emperor that Liu Rui enter the palace alone to see him, and let him be under the pressure of the emperor, who is suspicious of him. , he must panic."

"Also, I also formulated two other strategies for the master, mainly to provoke Cao Cao and Liu Rui, so that they have to fight." Jia Xu continued.

Dong Zhuo said, "Tell me about it."

"The first one, let the emperor order Cao Cao to be the Jizhou shepherd of Jizhou under Liu Rui's control, and let him insert into Liu Rui's sphere of influence, the two will inevitably have friction and cause the relationship to deteriorate."

"Good strategy!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile, "Then what about the second rule?"

"We sent Cao Cao a lot of gold and silver treasures and beauties, expressed our alliance with him, and encouraged him to attack Liu Rui. I don't believe that with the benefits, plus the embarrassment of the two, the two of them will endure. Don't fight."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Okay! Good! Good! Wen He is indeed Dong Zhuo's think tank, I will go to meet the Holy Master, ask him for an decree, and order to go ahead and prepare gold and silver treasures and beautiful women. Wen He, this is I want you to be a lobbyist once I make good friends with Cao Cao, you can go when you are ready."

"Yes!" Jia Xu cupped his hands. , , .

279: Countermeasures

Cao Cao is in the hall of his mansion, discussing the current situation of the world with a group of advisors and generals, and is discussing the next move to deploy troops everywhere.

Cao Cao said: "I took Qingzhou from Kong Rong, and now our strength has grown stronger. We will face two major forces, Dong Zhuo and Liu Rui. Who do you think we should attack? What? What is your opinion? Let's talk about it."

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, I think that Liu Rui's strength is now fierce, growing rapidly, and his edge is flourishing. It is not appropriate to confront him head-on, and we have been fighting against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to attack."

"Yeah!" Cao Cao said, "What Zhicai said makes sense. Now that Liu Rui is gaining momentum, it is really not appropriate to fight against him. But Dong Zhuo is not only powerful, but also controls the emperor. Big, how can we compete with Liu Rui again. This is a big question?"

Xi Zhicai said worriedly: "This... the lord's worry is also justified. If we use troops against Dong Zhuo, our strength will be compromised, and it will be even more difficult for our subordinates to fight against Liu Rui. Countless, but it’s a headache.”

When the two of them were worried, suddenly a soldier came in to report and said, "Report to your lord, there is an imperial decree outside."

"Oh!!" Cao Cao stood up suddenly and said, "The imperial decree? What is the meaning of the imperial decree at this time?"

Cao Cao thought about it, and then said to the crowd: "Everyone will go out with me to meet the imperial decree."

Soon, Cao Cao brought everyone to the hall, knelt on the ground, and respectfully received the decree.

The eunuch who announced the decree read: "Fengtian, the emperor's edict said, Cao Cao has always been loyal to the master, and Dong Aiqing has spoken for him, praising him for his bravery and resourcefulness. Now when I am in the process of employing people, Cao Aiqing is indeed a good minister, and I have decided to grant him the title. You are the shepherd of Jizhou. In Jizhou, together with the uncle, you will contribute to the prosperity of my great man, and I admire this."

When Cao Cao heard that the emperor was going to make him the minister of Jizhou, he was stunned. After hearing the eunuch read the imperial decree, he kowtowed and said, "Wei Chen thank the Lord Long En, and this minister must do his best to serve the big man and die."

Cao Cao stood up and said to the eunuch: "Father-in-law came from a long way, it's hard work, why don't you stay with me and rest for a while."

The eunuch waved his hand and said, "No need, Mr. Cao. The Sa family still has a plan to go to Jizhou to announce it, so I won't delay it with you. The imperial order is the most important thing, and the Sa family can't afford to delay it."

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Oh? The emperor still has a will to pass on to Lord Liu? I don't know what he said."

The eunuch said: "I can't tell you about the Sa family, and the Sa family can't leak the imperial decree." Fu turned to Cao Cao and said: "Master Cao, the Sa family has something to do, so I will leave, don't bother." Qiankun listened to the book Website www.qktsw.com

After the eunuch left, Xi Zhicai walked to Cao Cao's side and said, "Dong Zhuo met the sage and asked him to make the lord the shepherd of Jizhou. I'm afraid there are some unscrupulous plans. Jizhou is the territory that Liu Rui has just harvested, and Dong Zhuo suddenly asked the emperor to ask the emperor. The purpose of making you the shepherd of Jizhou, I am afraid it is intentional to let you and Liu Rui come into contact and stir up conflicts between you."

Cao Cao said: "Yes, why don't I know, but the emperor's decree has been issued, I can't resist the decree and disrespect it."

Xi Zhicai said: "Dong Zhuo's move is obviously to start with the first, to provoke the conflict between us and Liu Rui first, and then to take advantage of the fisherman. If we fought with Liu Rui and he attacked from behind, then It's deadly for us."

"Humph." Cao Cao said angrily, "What a despicable plan, Dong Zhuo."

While the two were talking, another soldier came in to report: "Report to the lord, there is a team outside asking to see you, and the person leading the charge claims to be Jia Xu under Master Dong."

"Jia Xu?" Cao Cao's expression turned cold, and he said, "Hmph, he still dares to come, let him come in, but I want to see what he has to say." He walked back to his seat in the hall, and immediately sit down.

Jia Xu came up and said to Cao Dongying: "Lord Cao, Jia Xu has come to see me at the order of my lord."

Cao Cao didn't even look at him, he touched his finger and said, "Dong Zhuo asked you to come and see me. I, Cao Cao, have nothing to do with your lord, there is nothing to do, so there is no need to say more."

"Hehe." Jia Xu said, "Why does Master Cao reject me so much, and besides, my lord really wants to befriend you, Master Cao. You must have received the imperial edict that the emperor named you as the shepherd of Jizhou, which is exactly what The result of our adults trying our best to deal with you is just to pay tribute to your cooperation."

Cao Cao slapped the case and stood up abruptly: "Humph! Don't I still know what Dong Zhuo's trip is for? It's just that he got me to Liu Rui's place under the pretense of giving me a promotion, and provoked us. The relationship between the two, let us go to war, so that he can take advantage of the fisherman himself!"

"No, no, no." Jia Xu smiled and said, "Sir, you have wronged Lord Dong Zhuo. Now that Lord Liu's strength has continued to increase, it has seriously endangered the interests of both of us. My lord considered the overall situation and decided to Let's get rid of the previous grudges with you and work together. After the alliance defeats Lord Liu, we will resolve our own grievances by ourselves."

"Haha." Cao Cao sneered twice and said, "Do you think I would believe you, Dong Zhuo is insidious and cunning, you want me to believe it based on your one-sided words? It's really funny, if I attack Liu Rui in front, Dong Zhuo in the back If you attack me sneakily, then I don't know how tragically I will die."

Jia Xu said: "Hey, how could Master Cao think like this, our lord is really ready to cooperate with you. Well, since you don't believe me, I will sign a covenant with you to fight against Liu Rui together. During the struggle between you and Liu Rui, how about we never touch each other?"

"Can you be the master?" Cao Cao thought for a while.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Of course, my lord has already ordered me to deal with this cooperation with you. Of course I can do it, lord. Also, in order to show sincerity, my lord ordered me to bring Gold and silver treasures and beautiful women are dedicated to Lord Cao."

280: The imperial decree comes

Cao Cao said, "This..."

Seeing that Cao Cao was still thinking about it, Jia Xu said, "Lord Cao, the use of troops against Liu Rui this time is not only the intention of my lord, but also the intention of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would agree to order you to be the shepherd of Youzhou and stationed in Liu Rui. Where is Rui's territory?"

"What does the emperor mean?" Cao Cao said: "Liu Rui is the emperor's uncle, can the emperor not trust him?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Of course, Liu Rui is now fighting everywhere, and his power is constantly increasing, which may endanger the emperor's rule. How can he be at ease with the adults? I don't know if Lord Cao heard it just now, the emperor. In addition to an imperial edict for you, is there another for Lord Liu?"

"I did hear this. Just now I wanted to leave the father-in-law who read the imperial decree, but he told me that he would go to Jizhou to read the imperial decree, so he couldn't delay here. I asked the father-in-law about the content of the imperial decree, but he didn't tell me. I."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Our lord met with the sage, in addition to asking for the next imperial decree for you to be the minister of Jizhou, so as to facilitate contact with Liu Rui, monitor him, and prepare for war at any time, in addition to requesting an imperial decree for the emperor to summon him. Lord Liu, let him go to the emperor alone to show his loyalty, if he doesn't go, it means that he has different intentions, and all the princes in the world should kill him."
