Chapter 191 1 Everything is under control
When the servants brought Xun Yu to Cao Cao's study.
Cao Cao was sitting quietly in his study drinking tea at this moment.
Seeing that it was Xun Yu, Cao Cao smiled and said:
"Lord Xun, are you here so late at night? Is there something important?"
"really!"
It was obvious that Cao Cao was waiting for him.
Xun Yu couldn't help but feel fortunate for his choice.
He immediately handed the two letters given to him by the visitor to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the letter...
After a cup of tea time.
"boom!"
Cao Cao slammed the table fiercely and said angrily:
"You damned big-eared thief, how dare you sow discord between me and the Yingchuan nobles!"
"Don't worry, Lord Xun, I will definitely save Gongda!"
"With Sikong's words, I feel relieved. I thank Sikong on behalf of Gongda!"
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed.
"They are all trivial matters!" Cao Cao said with a smile.
"However, I heard that those who fell into the hands of the big-eared thief, besides Gongda, also included Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, Li Dian, Li Mancheng, Yu Jin, Yu..."
Cao Cao was just about to talk about Yu Jin.
Suddenly I remembered that Yu Jin had surrendered to Liu Bei.
Cao Cao then frowned and said:
"How about this? You can tell him this: if the big-eared thief releases Xun You, Xu Huang, and Li Dian, we will give him 300,000 dan of grain!"
"Sikong is so righteous. I would like to thank you on behalf of Gongda and the other two!" Xun Yu bowed.
"No need to thank me, it's not me who provides the food anyway!" Cao Cao said with a smile.
"what--"
When Cao Cao said this, Xun Yu screamed in shock.
Looking at Cao Cao who was smiling in front of him.
Xun Yu wanted to slap him hard in the face.
Just now when Cao Cao mentioned 300,000 dan of grain, Xun Yu was still wondering where Cao Cao would get these 300,000 dan of grain. After all, this was not a small amount.
But now, after hearing Cao Cao's righteous words.
Only then did Xun Yu realize that he had been tricked by Cao Cao.
But the key point is, even if he knows that he has been tricked by Cao Cao, he cannot refuse now.
There was no other reason, it was because he had to save Xun You.
But what if he only saved Xun You but not Xu Huang and Li Dian?
Doesn't this clearly mean that for the sake of 100,000 dan of grain, he watched these two people die without helping them?
If this matter gets out, the Xun family’s reputation will be ruined!
Therefore, even though he knew that Cao Cao had set him up, Xun Yu had no choice but to accept it.
"Okay then, I'll go back and collect food!" Xun Yu said helplessly.
After saying this, Xun Yu clasped his fists and walked away.
Just got back home.
Thinking of myself running around late at night.
The others were fast asleep.
Xun Yu gave the order immediately.
Tell the servants to go and call all the heads of the Yingchuan gentry who have a say and are big or small.
……
Cao Cao's study.
As soon as Xun Yu left.
Guo Jia walked out from behind the screen.
"Sikong, you are worthy of it!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
“???” Cao Cao.
"What did you find out? Tell me!" said Cao Cao.
Guo Jia smiled and said:
"The Prime Minister can certainly afford 300,000 dan of grain. But if he does, the Yingchuan nobles will definitely think that since he is the lord, it is only natural for him to provide the grain. But if the Yingchuan nobles do it, even if they have complaints against him, they will hate Liu Bei even more. After all, the grain will end up in Liu Bei's pocket!"
Cao Cao had already informed Guo Jia about the sweet potato matter.
That's why Guo Jia said that Cao Cao could afford 300,000 dan of grain!
"Shit, there's no secret when communicating with smart people like you!"
Cao Cao frowned.
"Haha, first there must be a wise ruler, then there must be loyal ministers. Sikong, do you want your subordinates to tell you the truth or a lie?"
Guo Jia laughed.
"you--"
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Cao Cao was speechless, but very happy in his heart.
"Fengxiao, I just got a batch of good wine. Let's get drunk tonight!"
Cao Cao laughed.
"Wine?"
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Guo Jia immediately started to salivate.
He knew that the wine that Cao Cao called fine wine must be a rare treasure.
So the two of them walked towards the living room with a smile.
……
The words are divided into two parts.
At the same time, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were drinking.
Xuzhou, Xia Pi.
Liu Bei came to the outside of a room.
It was late at night.
But the lights in the room remained on.
Through the window, Liu Bei could clearly see a man reading at a desk.
"Tap..."
Liu Bei paced back and forth in the yard.
I tried to open the door several times.
Finally he withdrew his hands.
"Crench!"
Just then, the door was opened from the inside.
Then, a tall, bearded, elegant man walked out of the room.
"My Lord, please!"
The man looked at Liu Bei and smiled.
"I... in that case, then I'm sorry to bother you!"
Liu Bei was stunned at first, then he bowed and smiled.
At the man's invitation, Liu Bei entered the room.
After the two of them sat down, Liu Bei said seriously:
"Yuanzhi, do you think our plan can succeed? I'm always unsure..."
That’s right, the elegant man in front of him was Xu Shu (Xu Shu, with the courtesy name Yuanzhi).
This is different from the original history, in which Xu Shu changed his name to Dan Fu and defected to Liu Bei in 207 AD.
In this time and space, Xu Shu defected to Liu Bei two years in advance and did not use the pseudonym Shan Fu.
The reason why Liu Bei dared to lead his troops north to seize Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
It was Xu Shu who was behind the scenes giving advice.
And the plan Liu Bei just mentioned.
It refers to the fact that Xu Shu imitated Xun You's handwriting and wrote a letter to Xun Yu.
"Hehe, please rest assured, my lord, everything is going according to plan!"
Xu Shu smiled.
