Lu Dynasty

Chapter 585
Xu You's words made Cao suddenly realize, but Cao still asked worriedly: "Ziyuan, Lu Feng also has an emperor in his hands. Liu Bian is the eldest son of His Majesty Ling Emperor, and it is more legitimate for him to inherit the throne. In addition, he also has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. , I think there must be more princes who are willing to listen to Lu Feng's orders than those who are willing to listen to me!"

"Meng De, you are wrong again!" Xu You said triumphantly, "The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is nothing more than a stone. Didn't Yuan Shu claim to be the emperor with it? It depends on who the world recognizes as orthodox! Yes, Liu Bian He is the eldest son of Emperor Ling, but he was also deposed by Dong Zhuo! From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, how many emperors have been abolished and reinstated? Yi Yin once abolished the emperor, but they only exercised power on behalf of the king. When the king grows up, he will return to power immediately! Now Lu Feng and you both have emperors, but Lu Feng's policies have greatly restricted the development of the aristocratic family! You know, the world is ruled by aristocratic families, as long as you turn against Lu Feng and tie the hearts of the world’s aristocratic families to you, you will definitely be able to fight against Lu Feng!” Xu You’s words are very similar to Liu Bei’s words in history .Liu Bei once said in history: "With haste, I will be lenient; with violence, I will be benevolent; with deceit, I will be loyal; whatever is contrary, things will happen!" I'm coming!
It is undeniable that Xu You's words are very reasonable, and Cao also quite agrees.But Cao is not the kind of monarch who can muddle through. He hopes to win me, but he doesn't want to win by compromising the aristocratic family!If Cao did what Xu You said, he would just recreate a big man.Hundreds of years later, even less than a hundred years, there will still be wars in the world.Cao's ambition is not as simple as unifying the world. My vision coincides with his in many places. It is impossible for him to be completely opposite to me!At the very least, Cao and I have basically the same opinion on how to deal with the aristocratic family!
Cao was very conflicted, and he could tell that Xu You's opinion was the best way to deal with me, because only aristocratic families were not completely in my hands.Now the big families of the Han Dynasty are either in the hands of Yuan Shao, or they are independent in Jingxiang. After Yuan Shao's defeat, the big families who refuse to accept my policy will definitely find another prince to represent them. At that time, Cao can accept them and use their The power is against me, and what Cao has to pay is part of the power in his hand.Cao knew that if he gave up this part of his rights, it would probably cause the local power to become overwhelmed, and even cause the Cao family to slowly collapse, just like the big man now!Xu You's idea, there is no other way, for Cao, it is drinking poison to quench thirst!Cao thought about it for a long time, and decided to use Xu You's first half of his idea and order all the princes to attack me together, instead of adopting Xu You's second half of his idea.Cao doesn't want to use the power of the family, he wants the family to be an obedient dog around him. The difficulty of this matter is even harder than me clearing and disintegrating the family!
What Xu You said about the matter was very reasonable, and Cao and Cheng Yu were very satisfied with what they heard.Although this was not a comprehensive plan, it reflected Xu You's extraordinary wisdom, but these words aroused Xun Yu's dissatisfaction.Xun Yu is an idealist through and through. He wants Cao to be the Duke of Zhou to assist Han Xiandi. When Han Xiandi is able to handle government affairs, Xun Yu also hopes that Cao can return the power to Xiandi.It's a pity that there is no sympathy between father and son in the power struggle. Although Xun Yu's idea is good, the conflict between Liu Xie and Cao has reached an irreconcilable point.If Cao hadn't killed Concubine Dong and Dong Cheng, perhaps Cao could be spared after Emperor Xian came to power.But now if Emperor Xian is in power and only kills Cao, Cao Cao should be thankful!The consequence of Emperor Xian taking power is likely to be that Cao was wiped out of the nine clans!So Cao Ning will not return the power to Emperor Xian even if he dies, Xun Yu's idea will never be realized!However, Xu You's words had a kind of contempt and contempt for Emperor Xian, which made Xun Yu very upset!

Xu You is used to being careless, he doesn't even buy Cao's account, and Xun Yugao's displeasure has nothing to do with him.Although Cao only adopted half of his plan, it was not easy for a rookie like him.The triumphant Xu You glanced at the audience proudly, as if he was the crane standing out from the crowd, but unfortunately he didn't know, it was Cao's intention, if it was true, no matter Cheng Yu or Xun Yu, even Jiang Jidu is better than him!

Xu You came up with an idea, which Cao adopted at that time.But after Xu You finished expressing his opinion, no one in the big tent had any more ideas, so Cao arranged according to Xu You's plan, and asked Man Chong to send Liu Bei, Cai Mao, and Sun Quan as envoys, and asked Sima Lang to persuade Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, order them to send troops to attack Luoyang!
Cao's envoys set off soon, and they also brought the imperial edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Obviously, Cao wanted Liu Bei and the others to submit!The envoys going to the middle of Shu not only have rough roads, but also have to detour so it is very slow, but Man Chong goes from Yanzhou to Jingzhou very quickly!When Man Chong arrived in Jingzhou, he didn't go to visit Liu Bei directly, but went to Cai Mao's.Because if Liu Bei wants to send troops, Cai Mao can't interfere. If Cai Mao interferes, no matter how loyal Liu Bei is, the chance of sending troops is not high!In fact, Man Chong didn't know that as long as there was an imperial edict, even if Liu Bei knew he was dead, he would send troops without hesitation!
Cao, I, and Yuan Shao are the three biggest vassals now, and Cao's emissary, Cai Mao, still dare not meet him.Man Chong easily met Cai Mao and conveyed Cao's meaning to him.Cao didn't ask Cai Mao to send troops, but he just told him not to attack Liu Bei's back when Liu Bei sent troops.When Cai Mao knew that Emperor Xian had ordered Liu Bei to attack me, he immediately acted righteously and wrote a letter, telling Liu Bei very sincerely that he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and would never attack Xinye when Liu Bei sent troops, so that Liu Bei could rest assured As for Liu Bei, believe it or not, only God knows!In fact, Cai Mao is serious. In his eyes, anyone who is against me, except for a few people who are very powerful, will not end well. No matter how Cai Mao sees Liu Bei, he does not look like a powerful person.Since Emperor Xian wants Liu Bei to die, and if Liu Bei is willing to go, Cai Mao will naturally be willing to use my hand to get rid of Liu Bei!

Man Chong was also surprised to see Cai Mao being so sincere, but it didn't take long for him to guess what Cai Mao was thinking.However, no matter what Cai Mao's thoughts are, as long as he doesn't prevent Cao from dealing with me, that's fine!After all, Cai Hao is not yet qualified to be an enemy of Cao, and Man Chong doesn't take him seriously!
