Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

Cao Cao said again: "What I want to know is Su Yi's life."

Xi Zhicai spread his hands and said helplessly: "It is said that this person has traveled all over the world, but he doesn't like to make friends with powerful people, he only likes to live in seclusion in the countryside. Therefore, there are no bright spots in his life.”

"You haven't stepped out of the house for a year?"

A strange look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

There are many children of the gentry who covet power, and naturally there are also those who are indifferent, who live in seclusion in the mountains and who do not hear about the world.

It's just that even if you live in seclusion, it won't be a whole year without leaving your house for half a step.

"This Su Yi is really interesting..."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and muttered to himself, and the corner of his mouth raised a meaningful smile.

"This person is just a nameless person, why is the lord suddenly so interested?"

Xun Yu, who was beside him, didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Just ask casually."

Cao Cao said perfunctorily.

For safety reasons, the fewer people he knew about the private visit, the better. Even Xun Yu was reluctant to tell him. Naturally, he didn't want to mention the incident of Su Yi at that time.

Xun Yu didn't ask any further, and said with a hand: "The lord will enter the capital soon, and before that, we have to discuss a plan, how to welcome the emperor back to Xu County."

"If you don't have to worry about it, I have a plan."

Cao Cao grinned.

Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"Since the Son of Heaven has left the control of the Xiliang Army, the alliance between Dong Cheng and Yang Feng will surely exist in name only, and the two will be in conflict."

"And Luoyang is broken, and the emperor's officials are short of food."

"I just need to take advantage of the conflict between Yang and Dong, and use the excuse of asking the emperor to move Xuxian to get food, and I will definitely be able to bring the emperor back to Xuxian!"

Cao Cao publicly revealed Su Yi's plan that day.

Xun Yu suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "Yu didn't expect to take advantage of the conflict between Yang and Dong. It's really ashamed, or the lord is thoughtful."

Cao Cao coughed a few times, his expression a little embarrassed, and he was ashamed to praise Xun Yu.

However, Xun Yu said again: "It's just that if this plan is to succeed, there needs to be an internal response from the court, and it is necessary for the master to sow discord between Yang Feng and Dong Cheng."

Cao Cao's brows furrowed.

The courtiers in Luoyang, most of them nobles, looked down on his background, and they wanted to find a courtier who was willing to be his inner responder and who spoke with weight, which was easier said than done.

There was silence in the lobby.

At this time.

The personal guard entered and presented a secret letter from Luoyang, a counselor Mao Jie.

Half a month ago, Mao Jie was ordered to go to Luoyang, in the name of paying tribute to the emperor, to inquire about the reality of the imperial court.

Now that Mao Jie has sent a secret letter, he must have found useful information.

"There is no outsider here, Zhicai, read it."

Cao Cao flicked his hand.

Xi Zhicai took the secret letter and read it out in public.

Sure enough, the letter contained some information about the situation of the imperial court.

"Dong Zhao, admiring the lord, is willing to respond to the court!"

When he read this sentence, Xi Zhicai was shocked, and suddenly looked up at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes gathered, and his eyes glared at Xi Zhicai.

"Dong Zhao volunteered to be Cao Gong's internal servant!"

In Yang's house that day, Su Yi's words rang in his ears like thunder.

moment.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, their scalps were numb.

"My lord, Dong Zhao actually volunteered to be the inner responder. This is really God's help for the lord!"

Xun Yu said happily.

The pot exploded in the hall.

All the advisors were all excited about Cao Cao's good luck.

After the discussion was over, the counselors withdrew.

"This Su Yi, how did he calculate that Dong Zhao would secretly serve me?"

Cao Cao stared at the secret report and muttered to himself.

Before Xi Zhicai left, he sighed and said, "It seems that the lord and I both underestimated that Su Yi. He wasn't open-mouthed that day. This person is indeed very resourceful."
