At this time, Cao Cao's mansion seemed to be quite serious and gloomy.
Cao Song was sitting in the main seat with a calm face, slightly squinting his eyes and looking at the people below, while Cao Cao stood aside and looked at the people below with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Several confidants.
Sitting on the right are the two members of the Xun family.
Xun Yu always has a smile on his face, and the gentleman is always as gentle as jade.
Xun You, who is under Xun Yu, has a dull look on his face.
From time to time, he tilts his head and looks at Cao Cao. , you slowly looked at Cao Song, and finally withdrew your gaze and sat there silently.
The first person on the left is Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao's current mastermind.
However, Xi Zhicai's face is still frighteningly pale.
Whenever he coughs, the sound of the cough is always frightening. .
Sitting under Xi Zhicai was Cao Cao's earliest adviser, Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was sitting in his seat, looking at Cao Cao with a serious face, his eyes kept turning, not knowing what Cheng Yu was thinking in his head.
Bai Ren stood aside, because there was really no place for Bai Ren in the hall, Bai Ren could only stand awkwardly, but Bai Ren looked at Xun Yu at this time, with some doubts in his heart, Xun Yu drank Why don't you show any sign of your own wine?
Of course Bai Ren doesn't understand that a gentleman is like a jade, and the best thing is a pot of tea to soothe the mind, not intoxicating wine.
Scholars like tea, warriors like wine, but Bai Ren didn't understand.
He only saw Guo Jia's love for wine, and he ignored something. , but Guo Jia is an anomaly that is rare to see in a century.
"Cough cough cough" Cao Song coughed slightly, and everyone in the hall immediately looked at Cao Song who was not far away.
Cao Song touched his beard slightly and looked at Cao Cao beside him.
He said to Cao Cao in a calm tone: "Mengde, it's up to you to speak."
"Ahem, now Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is so insensitive that he sent people to kill my father.
There are such vicious people in the world.
You are all wise men, but what can you teach me?"
Cao Cao looked at his father, Then he cleared his throat slightly, looked at the counselor who was looking at him, and said in a heavy tone.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, all the counselors looked silent and didn't say a word.
None of the people sitting here had an intelligence lower than 80.
They all understood what Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao clearly wanted to take this opportunity to attack Xuzhou, so now the counselors below Don't even know how to speak.
"My lord, I think the world should know about Xuzhou Mu's murder of the Grand Duke, and then we will immediately send troops to attack Xuzhou."
Cheng Yu is a counselor who is truly loyal to Cao Cao.
His thoughts are the same as those of Cao Cao, so he goes directly without too many worries.
He directly stated what Cao Cao wanted to do.
"Zhongde, that's what you want."
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu with a somewhat joyful expression, stroked his beard, and praised in a cheerful tone.
The two uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You sat there silently without speaking.
The face with a faint smile suddenly became serious, and his eyes were fixed on Cheng Yu opposite.
"Gong Cao, don't listen to Cheng Zhongde.
Now that Gong Cao has just acquired Yuzhou, the current situation is not stable.
Moreover, the nobles in Yanzhou are ready to make a move.
If Gong Cao wants to send troops to Xuzhou, he will have to wait at least half a year."
Xun Yu finally couldn't help it. , pointed with a serious look at the somewhat stern face of Cheng Yu opposite him, and then said to Cao Cao in a very sincere tone.
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao's expression didn't change much, but a hint of displeasure suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes.
In a blink of an eye, it turned into normal.
Then he waved his hand and said to Xun Yu in a gentle tone: "Wen Ruo, please Don't get excited, calm down and let Cao think about it."
"I hope Duke Cao can figure it out," Xun Yu clasped his fists at Cao Cao and smiled, then sat down quietly.
Cao Cao felt a little unhappy when he saw Xun Yu's objection, and then looked calmly at Xun You and Xi Zhicai, who were sitting below without saying a word.

"Zhicai and Gongda are both rare resourceful men in the world.
They are both silent now.
Do you have any thoughts in your mind?"
Cao Cao turned his eyes and asked Xun You and Xi Zhicai in a kind tone.
"Ahem!"
Xi Zhicai covered his mouth with a white silk scarf and coughed a few times.
Then he raised his head and looked at Xun Yu opposite him with a pale face.
His eyes showed a hint of helplessness and apology.
Then he faced me with a normal expression Cao Cao said: "I think your lord can attack Xuzhou now.
Yuan Benchu, who is to the north of your lord, has a good relationship with your lord.
At this time, he is still fighting Gongsun Zan and does not care about my lord's movements.
As long as my lord does not go north, Yuan Shao will not have any thoughts about my lord."
"Not bad, you have good ambitions, you continue."
After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao said with some joy in his heart.
He touched his beard with a dull expression, but his heart blossomed with joy, while Xun Yu below looked a little unhappy. , Xi Zhicai was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu.
He originally wanted Xi Zhicai to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that Xi Zhicai's idea was now contrary to his own.
"Ahem, although Yuan Shu in the south of my lord has had a long-standing grudge with my lord, my lord only needs Cao Hong's three thousand soldiers to guard Runan City and he won't be afraid of Yuan Shu.
Besides, Yuan Shu is currently fighting with Liu Yao in Jiangdong.
I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of my lord.
As for the Xiliang army in the west, they are fighting among themselves.
Frequently, there is no thought of going eastward, my lord, you can rest assured.
As for the nobles in Yanzhou, they are just a group of tigers without claws, lord, don’t worry."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao calmly, with a trace of emotion in his eyes.
He was proud of his own resourcefulness and said to Cao Cao with a firm tone.
After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao felt extremely happy.
He touched his beard very briskly and nodded to Xi Zhicai.
Xun Yu on the side looked at Cao Cao with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
It seemed that Cao Cao was determined to attack Xuzhou, but Xun Yu didn't think Xi Zhicai's words in his heart.
As Xun Yu, the master of Yingchuan, The children of the family know the gentry very well.
The Yanzhou gentry cannot be underestimated, and the power of the gentry can never be underestimated.
"Gongda, what do you think?"
Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhi before he finished speaking, then looked at Xun You, who was sitting aside with an expressionless face, and asked with a smile on his face.
"I think Xi Zhicai is right."
Xun You didn't say much, but said to Cao Cao in a calm tone, without much expression on his face.
Seeing that Xun You had agreed, Cao Cao felt secretly happy.
Three of his counselors had agreed.
It seemed that in a while, they would be able to send troops to Xuzhou, so he said in a joyful tone: "That's it.
I will tell the world that Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian deliberately wanted to kill my father, and use this to send troops to Xu."
"Wait for Mengde."
Just when Cao Cao was about to make a decision to attack Xuzhou, Cao Song, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly interrupted Cao Cao.
"Father, what do you think?"
Cao Cao looked at his father with a puzzled expression and asked Cao Song in a questioning tone.
Cao Song looked at Bai Ren, who was standing in the corner, with fox-like eyes, and then asked Bai Ren with a calm face: "You bastard named Bai, what do you think of Meng De's decision?"
Everyone watched Cao Song suddenly ask Bai Ren a question, and all looked at Bai Ren who was standing aside in a daze.
Bai Ren suddenly came back to his senses when he saw Cao Song suddenly calling him.

To be honest, Bai Ren understood this period of history.
When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Lu Bu and the Yanzhou nobles jointly rebelled.
In the end, Cao Cao was defeated and only three of them were left.
City, Cao Cao almost went north to join Yuan Shao, but Bai Ren couldn't say that, and he had no evidence to prove this.
"Bai Zifu, do you have any ideas?"
Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren frowning and thinking, and asked Bai Ren in a serious tone.
Bai Ren finally raised his head helplessly, looked at Cao Cao and Cao Song, the father and son, and said, "I think we can attack Xuzhou, but..."
"It's just nothing."
Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren's hesitant look and said impatiently
