Chapter 848 The fate of the monarch and the minister


"I've seen the lord" Seeing Cao Cao coming, Xi Zhicai, who was lying on the bed, was about to get up and salute.

"Zhicai doesn't have to be polite, lie down quickly" Cao Cao hurriedly walked over and held down Xi Zhicai to stop him from getting up.

Xi Zhicai should have died more than ten years ago, but he met Hua Tuo, he survived, but he escaped the first time, after all, he couldn't escape the second time, this time Xi Zhicai has reached the point where there is no cure.

Therefore, for Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai must be a person who does not take care of it, and a person who can know everything and say everything.

"Why is the lord here?"

Xi Zhicai asked curiously, and he couldn't blame Xi Zhicai for being curious, because just yesterday, Cao Cao came to see him.

"One is to see Zhicai, and the other is that there is something that bothers someone, and I hope Zhicai can help solve someone's doubts."

Cao Cao replied.

"Thank you to the lord, you should do your best to share the worries of the lord."

Xi Zhicai naturally knew that Cao Cao looked at himself secondly, and asking himself questions was the purpose of coming, and even said that he was just casually talking and perfunctory.

"I wanted to exchange Xu Chu back, so I sent someone to send a message to Yanjing, and I didn't ask the price in my heart, this is a letter from Yanjing, you see."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he handed the letter to Xi Zhicai.

Xu Chu's capture is no longer a secret, the world knows it, Cao Cao naturally knows that Liu Wei once went to persuade Xu Chu, but unfortunately failed, Xu Chu was unwilling to surrender, and it was over from that time on.

Xu Chu's affairs in Yanjing were also released at that time, and the purpose was naturally to attract Cao Cao.

"This Liu Wei is planning to let the lord send the three young ladies over first to express his sincerity before talking" After watching the play, he came to the same conclusion as Wang Meng.

"How do you think you should choose?"

Cao Cao asked.

"How does the lord think that General Xu Chu is for the lord and Jiangdong?"

Xi Zhi is the one who is about to die, so naturally he didn't care about Wang Meng, he asked directly.

"Xu Chu has followed a certain for more than ten years, saved a certain life, fought for a certain Quartet, and made countless meritorious contributions, if he is second to none in terms of credit, although he is not the first fierce general in the army now, but more than ten years have passed, most of the soldiers in the army are convinced of him, and he is like losing an arm."

Cao Cao replied, is Xu Chu so important, naturally no, although Xu Chu is very important, but it has definitely not reached this point, the reason why Cao Cao said this is because of why Xu Chu was arrested.

Xu Chu was captured in order to cut off Cao Cao, and he had a life-saving grace for Cao Cao, this is a thing known to the world, if Cao Cao does not express his position, it will only provoke the world to discuss, and it will only make the military Chinese Wu cold.

"What does the lord think about the three young ladies for the lord and Jiangdong," Xi Zhicai continued to ask.

"They are the daughters of so-and-so, and they are flesh and blood of so-and-so, as far as Jiangdong is concerned, they" Cao Cao hesitated a little, but then said with difficulty, "They are dispensable in Jiangdong. ” "Zhicai meant to let a certain send his daughter, but this is a certain daughter, so he sent it over, what is the difference between this and the Han and Hungarian relatives back then."

Cao Cao was a little angry.

"The lord's words are different, compared with the two, there is still a big difference, first, the Han and Hungarian and pro-princesses must be suffering, but this is not the case when they enter Yanjing, and second, for the three young ladies to stay in Jiangdong, it is not necessarily good."

Xi Zhicai retorted, at this time, Xi Zhicai didn't take it into account, like this kind of direct refutation of Cao Cao's words, he would never say it before, but now he came with his mouth open, the reason is because of Xi Zhicai's current identity.

Xi Zhicai is now a dying person, and he naturally has no scruples when he speaks.

Cao Cao frowned, "Why staying in Jiangdong is not necessarily a good thing" "What does the lord think of the future of Koto?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

"There is the Yangtze River in the north, there are rivers and lakes in it, there are many barriers, it can be attacked and defended, Jiangdong is rich, there are millions of people, and there is no need to worry about food, Jiangdong is worry-free."

Cao Cao said confidently.

"The lord is right, but the lord has not thought about it, three years ago we sat in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and this Jiangdong with more than 400,000 troops, but we still lost, everything is inconclusive, the lord may be able to hold it, if the lord is not there."

"Once Jiangdong is lost, what is the future of the lord's children, the lord should understand, as slaves and maids, let them be humiliated, if the lord sends them to Yanjing at this time, at least they will have no worries, and whether it is the lord or Liu Weisheng, the results of the three young ladies will not be too bad."

Xi Zhicai's words were really a little open-mouthed, and his every word spoke to Cao Cao's heart, of course, not to move Cao Cao, but to make Cao Cao angry.

But it's still that sentence Xi Zhi is a dying person, and he will die soon, if Cao Cao cares about him, it is nothing more than a death, so he dares to say it, and Cao Cao is precisely because of this reason, he knows that Xi Zhi dares to say it, so he came to ask.

"Zhicai, you have a good rest, and I'll come to see you another day."

Cao Cao frowned and said to Xi Zhicai, and then walked out without looking back.

"Take care of the lord, and I hope that the lord can achieve great things."

Xi Zhicai shouted at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stopped when he heard this, as if he wanted to turn back, but he didn't look back after all, and left directly.

Xi Zhi realized that this may be the last time he will see Cao Cao, and Cao Cao may only appear at his funeral when he comes to see him.

When Cao Cao handed him the letter, he had already guessed this result, and he knew that Cao Cao actually had the answer a long time ago, and he came to him, just to find a step down.

Even if Xi Zhicai knew the consequences, he was willing to make such a step for Cao Cao.

The next day, Cao Cao sent someone to cross the river, the purpose of which was naturally to inform Liu Wei that he agreed and asked Liu Wei to send someone to pick him up.

Jingzhou, "Brother, what are your plans?"

Guan Yu asked, after three years of recuperation, Guan Yu has successfully recovered, and according to the agreement, Zhang Fei was also sent back, and he recovered better.

"Yun Chang thought it was" Liu Bei asked Guan Yu in turn.

"Naturally, I took this opportunity to move north to take revenge."

Guan Yu replied categorically.

The opportunity in Guan Yu's mouth is naturally the matter of Liu Wei's upcoming expedition to the Tang Kingdom, as for revenge, it is even simpler, he was seriously injured, Zhang Fei was seriously injured and captured, and nearly 100,000 people were lost in Nanyang, this is a grudge.

"Wing De thought it was" Liu Bei didn't answer Guan Yu, and looked at Zhang Fei again.

"I don't recommend that my brother send troops."

Zhang Fei thought for a moment, and then replied.

"Why is that?"

Liu Bei asked, he thought that Zhang Fei's answer would be the same as Guan Yu's, after all, it was not only him and Guan Yu, Zhang Qing also died in battle.

"There are more than 100,000 well-trained troops in Nanyang, and we can't break through it with our current strength, although I want to take revenge, but I want to preserve my strength."

Zhang Fei explained.

"Reflection" Liu Bei looked at Shi Jingsi again.

"Revenge is to be avenged, but not now," Shi Jingsi replied, and Shi Jingsi made his position clear in one sentence.

Zhang Fei and Shi Jingsi's opposition made Guan Yu a little dissatisfied.

"The two military advisors and the two gentlemen feel it" Liu Wei finally looked directly at Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Kou Zhun, and Wei Zheng.

"With Jingzhou's current reserves of soldiers and horses, grain, grass, weapons and other materials, it is impossible to start a battle with 200,000 troops in two years."

Wei Zheng was the first to answer, whether it was by Li Shimin's side or Liu Bei's side, he was an upright and outspoken person.

"Three years have passed, but now there are still 200,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, and without 200,000 soldiers and horses, how can we break through Nanyang, which is guarded by more than 100,000 people."

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice.

"Huo Jun's raid on Yizhou destroyed Yizhou's plan, and made Yizhou's preparations go to waste, Yizhou has a deep grudge against us, if my main force in Jingzhou goes to attack Nanyang, wouldn't it give Yizhou the opportunity to send troops, and Yizhou already has plans to go out of Sichuan, the north will not work, and Jingzhou will definitely not let go if they have the opportunity."

Pang Tong continued.

"The subordinates have the same opinion as them, and it is not appropriate to send troops at this time."

Zhuge Liang took the initiative to say.

"Hmph" Guan Yu snorted coldly and walked away directly.

"Alas" :
