Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 528 One State Two Systems

"So, what you mean is that it's a tactic to slow down the army. It is said that you are now forcefully demanding that the Han Dynasty resume your post of Yanzhou pastor. In fact, you are waiting for you to get rid of Yuan Hou, and then use this excuse to let Zhen and the Han Dynasty also There is a step down..." Liu Xie frowned and summed up Cao Cao's meaning, and seemed to agree with it, nodded and said: "Well, this is still a bit of a Hanchen, you can think about it."

He said it was to think about it, but in fact, both of them knew that this matter was settled.Overall, the Han Dynasty could neither win nor lose in this dispatch of troops.Although Liu Xie did not kill Cao Cao, he could use Cao Cao's power to eradicate Yuan Shu.Because of this dispatch of troops, he also smashed Liu Bei's nail in Xuzhou, echoing the Han Dynasty.

If I have to make a definitive conclusion, I can only say that this dispatch of troops did not achieve the most satisfactory goal as expected.However, everything is so perfect, Venus even broke his arm.

But things are not over yet.It can only be said that the leaders of the two parties have reached consensus on the biggest differences, but they still need to wrestle for a while when it comes to the division of interests in this negotiation.

"Don't be too wishful thinking, no matter what you say, you are wrong first! I can forgive you for sending troops eastward and plotting against Xuzhou, but I will never forgive you for waving the butcher's knife against hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Xuzhou to avenge your own personal revenge." The people. This blood debt, no matter what, I will also ask for it for the people of Xuzhou."

Hearing that Cao Cao wanted to restore Yanzhou to the past, Liu Xie refused without even thinking about it: Yes, you are difficult to deal with, and you are very sneaky in conspiracies and schemes.But this is just like the men and women in the previous life who broke through the last line of defense. After all, Liu Xie managed to mobilize [-] troops, beat Yuan Shu, and influence Lu Bu. It took more than half a year of time and energy, and his pants were off In the end, you Cao Cao said that nothing happened to us and we continued to be good friends?

How can there be such a good thing in the world?You take advantage of all the advantages, and if you make a mistake, just pretend nothing happened. Do you think you are the illegitimate child of God?

But Cao Cao disagreed with Liu Xie's opinion very much: "Your Majesty, this time the Han Dynasty is making a big move, and we are in a desperate situation in an instant, almost dying. Even now, most of Yanzhou is in your hands. If Your Majesty insists on not retreating, we will It would be better to fight to the death, to be a traitor and a minister..."

No matter how euphemistic Cao Cao's words are, the overall meaning is that this matter is completely blamed on the Han Dynasty dogs meddling with mice.Without your Han clan's meddling, I, Lao Cao, wouldn't be in such a miserable situation.Now you promised to give me the hat of Yanzhou Mu, but you still want to occupy most of Yanzhou and don't let go, and you have to let me be cannon fodder to beat Yuan Shu for you... Do you think I have been taken advantage of?
This kind of loss-making business, you can go to whomever you like.I'm so anxious, Lao Cao, I'll shoot and break up, and the fish will die and the net will be broken!
Now that he has Liu Xie who is cheap, he really dares to be good to Cao Cao.Unexpectedly, before Yuan Shu's incident, he could play a rogue, but now that Yuan Shu's shit-stirring stick appears, Cao Cao can instead treat him in his own way.

In fact, both Liu Xie and Cao Cao knew that they both looked at the problem from their own standpoints, and no matter how they looked at it, they were at a disadvantage.At this time, there is no need to talk about monarchs and ministers. Liu Xie and Cao Cao both know that since they are sitting here, it is a meeting between the two countries.After all, Liu Xie is not at all a majestic king who is in the sea and promises everything, and Cao Cao is not a minister who is loyal to the king, patriotic, and guarding the side.If you really want to get involved with the monarch and ministers, the matter will not go on at all.

But how to deal with the matter in Yanzhou is an event that really involves the interests of both parties. For these two villainous masters, even losing a county is more painful than losing a piece of meat.As a result, the two of them were almost spitting, no matter from the current situation or emotion, whether they talked about the law of heaven or the military, they brought their full knowledge and eloquence to the extreme, and they really didn't see weapons, but they killed the sky and the earth.

"Old Cao, no matter what, I'm only 15 years old this year, and I'm still a child. Can't you take care of my young heart?" Liu Xie licked his dry lips, his hair was disheveled, after half an hour of quarreling, He was more tired than killing a few back and forth in battle.

"Your Majesty, this year is the year of your life. Life is fleeting and fleeting. You may close your eyes one day and you will never be able to open them again. Couldn't Your Majesty be sympathetic to this old minister and let him live longer?" Is it day?" Cao Cao was already kneading his temples with his hands, and when the night wind blew, he suddenly felt that his head wind was serious again.

"If you live a few more years, another massacre will be another disaster for the people of the world?"

"Your Majesty, your lingering plan is of no benefit to the common people..."

"You know what a fart! Breaking down like you and then building up is completely sending the Han Dynasty into hell. And you only destroy, and you have never seen you innovate and build. Over the years, Cao Cao's scientific and technological inventions, improvement of people's livelihood, etc., what? A Guanzhong that is comparable to mine? I am crossing the river by feeling the stones, which is the golden mean..."

Liu Xie was arguing with Cao Cao in boredom, but when he said this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind. The "crossing the river by feeling for the stones" made him suddenly give up the quarrel just now, and turned his head to ask Cao Cao mysteriously : "Old Cao, let's stop arguing about these metaphysical things... Well, have you heard of 'one country, two systems'?"

Cao Cao is not a person who travels through time, how could he know about 'one country, two systems', he immediately shook his head in doubt: "Your Majesty, do you want to find another way?"

"Of course, we need to change our thinking to solve the problem, otherwise we won't be able to finalize the negotiation until dawn." Liu Xie held up his chin, let the thoughts in his mind brew well, and then tentatively explained to Cao Cao: "I I mean, I don’t need this Yanzhou. After all, you are a beast in Xuzhou, and you did a good job in Yanzhou. However, no matter how the Han Dynasty is orthodox in the world, it must be justified to include Kyushu. Therefore, I still have the right to rule in Yanzhou. Return it to you, but the ownership must belong to the Han family."

"It's natural. No matter what I say, I'm still a Hanchen. Yanzhou is still in the Han Dynasty in name."

"No, you're thinking wrong. What I mean is that Yanzhou is still managed by you, and the four major powers of military, government, finance and people are all up to you. But as punishment for your mistakes, the Han Dynasty will charge some symbolic fees every year. .So, you and I each have what we need, how about it?"

"I've never heard of this. But your majesty, don't deceive your ministers to be stupid. In this way, although we rule Yanzhou, we are only taking care of your majesty. In this way, your minister will suffer a lot..."

"A big loss? It's clear that you have made a lot of money. Do you think the official hat of Yanzhou Mu in the Han Dynasty is paper? Look at Yongzhou, Nanyang, Hedong and other places. Is there any place where the general, government, people and money are not there?" The four powers are firmly in your hands? I licensed you to 'one state, two systems', and it is clear that the Han Dynasty condescended to cooperate with a courtier of yours, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

"It's okay if it's just like this, but I don't know, how much tax does Your Majesty need to collect in a year?" Cao Cao is worthy of being Cao Cao, and he can see the key to the problem at a glance. Even if he was a boss in his previous life, he is at least at the level of a group boss.

"Don't worry. I'm in business, I've always been fair and honest, and the fees are reasonable. You see, now that I have managed to capture the central and western parts of Yanzhou, I will give up your territory in the east. Those counties that I occupy The county’s symbolic fee is tentatively set at [-]% of the annual tax. You can arrange the rest of the fee freely, how about it?”

"Your Majesty, you don't need a knife to kill... [-]% of the tax, and the remaining [-]% may not be enough to pay the expenses of the local officials."

"Old Cao, the most important thing in life is contentment and happiness. There is nothing I can do about it. After all, I have to explain to Lu Bu, the plague god, right?" In order to obtain greater benefits, Liu Xie Any lie can be told.Lu Bu did that stupid thing, thinking about how to explain it to Liu Xie.

"Then Chenliu County can't be counted among them. After all, now Chenliu...well, you understand, Your Majesty."

"That's fine, I'll go talk to Zhang Miao personally about this matter. I'd like to see what he will say to me if we reconcile here!"

……

……

The tone here is set by the leader, and it's time for the deputies to go into battle.As a result, Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and the others did not go to any big negotiating tents this night. They simply started working overnight by the campfire.When it comes to them, the calculations are even more detailed, almost counties are counted county by county, calculating the amount, property, determining taxes and property that should be delivered.

When the sun rose as usual the next day, Liu Xie and Cao Cao yawned together.After a sleepless night, the eye circles of both of them looked sleepy and dark.

"Old Cao, you don't need to stay up all night so much when you're old." Liu Xie rubbed his eyes, and slowly saw a knight who looked like Jing'an Cao rushing towards Cao Cao, and couldn't help laughing secretly: "No, your The spies are here, and they may bring you some good news."

Cao Cao frowned, looking at Liu Xie's harmless smile, he always felt that there was too much banter in that smile.After finally seeing Guo Jia's handwriting and learning about Lu Bu's daughter being trapped, Cao Cao looked up to the sky with a bitter face and sighed: "Your Majesty, you once said that you must be kind..."
