Chapter 254 Guess
Cao Cao didn't blame Zhao Lei for arbitrarily dividing his troops to attack Luoyang, and changed places. I'm afraid Cao Cao would make such a decision if he had the courage.However, in Cao Cao's heart, the estimation of Zhao Lei's ability has once again improved. In Cao Cao's heart, Zhao Lei's importance has completely surpassed Yuan Shao!Although this time Zhao Lei divided his forces into two groups, one did not capture Luoyang, and the other did not save the emperor, but the explosive news that Dong Zhuo withdrew after the attack on Luoyang was spread, Zhao Lei's reputation would rise and reach the same level as Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and third prince, Even higher status!Scholars, aristocratic families, public officials, and Li Shu all over the world will affirm the role played by Zhao Lei's Yangzhou Army in this alliance and Zhao Lei's own handsome talent.

Regarding Cao Cao's words, Zhao Lei just smiled lightly and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to accuse Brother Meng De of this matter! Brother Meng De please forgive me for concealing the crime before!"

"That's all! I also understand Zihan's difficulties!" Regarding Zhao Lei's apology, Cao Cao waved his hand and didn't care very much. Then he suddenly remembered what happened in the big tent before, and hurriedly asked: "By the way Zihan, even so, this seems to have something to do with you preventing me from persuading Ben Chu! And you said you knew why Ben Chu chose not to pursue Dong Zhuo, but you told me to hear the ins and outs of this matter !"

Zhao Lei shook his head, with a little disappointment on his face, he smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, I think it's better to let the man analyze this kind of problem with you! He is good at this matter!"

After Zhao Lei said this, Cao Cao turned his head to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han also looked unhurried, and smiled at Cao Cao: "Wait a minute, brother Mengde, the wine in front..."

Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense with Zhang Han at this time, he just poured wine into the wine glass three times, and drank three glasses in one gulp.

Seeing Cao Cao's impatient look, Zhang Han laughed in his heart, and slowly said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, don't tell me you have known Brother Benchu ​​for so many years, but you still haven't understood what Brother Benchu ​​is thinking? I'm afraid Brother Benchu I don't really want to welcome back the emperor who is now in Dong thief's hands!"

Zhao Yun interjected, "Second brother, why is that? That prince doesn't want to welcome the emperor back? Otherwise, what is the purpose of this alliance?"

Zhang Han glanced at Zhao Yun and signaled him to shut up.Seeing Zhang Han's eyes, Zhao Yun immediately bowed his head to drink and stopped talking.

Cao Cao didn't understand it at first, but after Zhang Han mentioned it, he immediately understood the key point, his face became extremely ugly, and he said in a muffled voice: "That's it! But anyway, the Son of Heaven is Son of Heaven, how can we just sit back and watch the Son of Heaven fall into dust? And the problem now is that Young Emperor has already been killed by Thief Dong, if the current Son of Heaven doesn’t save him, then is the big man without a king?”

"Hehe! Brother Mengde, you may have misunderstood me." Zhang Han chuckled and said, "Nowadays, the royal family of the Han Dynasty is all over the world. Where can I not find a royal family who can replace the current emperor? Brother Chu has already made up his mind in his mind!"

"What do you mean? Why can't I understand what you are saying, Zizhou?" Cao Cao said.

Just when Zhang Han was about to explain, Cao Cao interrupted him again, exclaiming: "You mean, Yuan Shao wants to establish a new king, or? He Yuan wants to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five Lord?"

When Cao Cao said this, it surprised the three Zhao Lei brothers present.

"Brother Meng De, what nonsense are you talking about? Yuan Shao heard this, and the allied forces will definitely fall apart." Zhao Lei shouted sharply.

Cao Cao waved his hand, he didn't seem to care much, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm just guessing casually, here are all Zihan's people, I don't think Zihan will say anything about it."

Regarding Cao Cao's boldness, Zhao Lei was speechless on the spot.

"So, Yuan Shao wants to establish another emperor among the clans of the Han Dynasty in the world? Zizhou, do you mean that?" Cao Cao put away his smile at this time and asked Zhang Han.

"I'm just guessing. Brother Mengde, just pretend that you haven't heard of it, so don't spread it out." Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Naturally!" Cao Cao nodded.

"That's why I tried my best to prevent you from admonishing Yuan Benchu ​​earlier, because he is determined and cannot be shaken at all. Why did Meng De bother to offend him? Offending him, the so-called leader, is nothing to you now. There is no benefit!" Zhao Lei said at this time.

In fact, Zhang Han said that Yuan Shao wanted to establish a new king, but he did not frame Yuan Shao without root and evidence.According to the biography of Yuan Shao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that after Yuan Shao planned to unify Jizhou, he wanted to imitate Cao Cao and coerce the emperor to command the princes.It's just that Liu Yu didn't know what was going on in his head, and he refused to agree to Yuan Shao. Instead, he hid in that corner of Youzhou, fighting with Gongsun Zan every day, and was finally killed by Gongsun Zan.

But Cao Cao heard this kind of statement for the first time, and couldn't help but change his face. Looking at Zhao Lei, he asked in surprise: "Zizhou! What do you mean, did you want to learn from Dong thief at the beginning, and come to a waste emperor?" A move? Abolish today's world and find a substitute?"

Cao Cao couldn't help being surprised. Although Liu Xie, the current son of heaven, was pushed to the throne by Dong Zhuo, he is a righteous son of heaven after all!He can also be regarded as the biological son of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong!What's more, Cao Cao initiated this alliance, hoping to use the power of various princes to wipe out Dong Zhuo and rescue Liu Xie.But if Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, really did such a thing, I am afraid that not only Yuan Shao will be blamed, but also Cao Cao, the initiator of the alliance, will be dragged down!
Now Cao Cao was in a hurry. Dang even stood up, walked back and forth in the military tent for a few times, stomped his feet at the end, and shouted: "No! This matter must not be allowed to go on like this! I will go to persuade you now. At first, let him get rid of this idea!" After finishing speaking, Cao Cao started to walk out of the military tent.

When Zhao Lei saw it, he gave Zhao Yun a wink. Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to stop Cao Cao, persuading him, "Lord Cao! Don't worry, just listen to my lord."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Cao Cao immediately calmed down, returned to his original seat, and sat down.

Seeing that Cao Cao was no longer excited, Zhao Lei said: "Brother Meng De! This matter is just my speculation now, and there is no evidence! If Brother Meng De is going to question Brother Benchu ​​like this now, Brother Benchu ​​will definitely not agree. I will admit it, at that time, Brother Benchu ​​may be offended, you and I will be implicated, and the allied forces will not be in a mess by then! Things will become more and more out of hand!"

Cao Cao was relieved by Zhao Lei's persuasion. He knew that what Zhao Lei said was correct, and he really couldn't just ask Yuan Shao directly about this matter!But if you don't go to Yuan Shao, how should you deal with it?
But Cao Cao suddenly came back to his senses, and asked Zhao Lei, "Zihan, why do I feel that your words seem to be prepared in advance? Could it be that you are framing me?"
