"What Ji Gui means is that the emperor seems useless, but is actually extremely important and is a weapon to restrict Liu Zhang?"
Cao Cao summarized Cui Yan's words and asked him for confirmation again.
"good."
Cui Yan still insisted on his idea.
"With the emperor in hand, King Wei represents the imperial court and the Han Dynasty. This is where the great justice of the world lies."
"Liu Zhang's attack without authorization is a blatant overturning of the imperial court. Then he is no longer a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but a traitor of the Han Dynasty!"
"As we all know, Han traitors will be punished if they find them! Liu Zhang will lose the hearts of the world!"
Cao Cao felt extremely embarrassed when he heard this. He always felt that this sentence of "Han thieves" was inseparable from him.
After all, the title of national thief has followed him for many years.
That is to say, Cao Cao knew that Cui Yan would not be so boring in criticizing Sang and Huai, otherwise he would have to settle things with him.
"Ji Gui, Liu Zhang has no shame and no faith. I'm afraid these false reputations cannot restrain him."
Cui Yan gently stroked his beard, looking like a master.
"King Wei, even if Liu Zhang dares to risk the disapproval of the world, what about the soldiers and civilians under his command?"
"The Qin State has tens of millions of people, Liu Zhang has tens of thousands of ministers and generals, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"
"Could it be that these people, all of whom have no sense of shame, are going to follow Liu Zhang in rebellion?"
"This big man, after all, has been around for four hundred years, and he has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"
Cao Cao's hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.
Cui Yan's words about a four-hundred-year-old man really made him tremble.
Yes, how can it be so easy to change the Han Dynasty for four hundred years?
Even Cui Yan, a member of the Hebei family who is far away from the imperial court, has such a strong sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty, let alone others?
Although it is impossible to draw a conclusion on Liu Zhang's matter at the moment, Cao Cao almost has a general direction on Liu Xie's matter.
No matter what, the banner of the emperor cannot fall into his own hands.
Even if everyone in the world calls Cao Cao a traitor to the country, it doesn't matter.
The emperor is still in Xuchang, Liu Xie is still the emperor, and the national traitors are real and anonymous!
Unless Cao Cao kills the king, forces Liu Xie to abdicate and change the dynasty.
Otherwise, national traitors will always be empty words!
"Ji Gui, I understand."
Cui Yan slightly cupped his hands and sat back.
Having said so much, he has already done his best for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao glanced at Cui Yan with relief, then turned to look at the others.
"Everyone, Liu Zhang is still fighting for Yangzhou with Sun Quan at the moment, and there is no danger of invasion in the short term."
"However, it is only a matter of time before the Qin army goes north. It is certain that Liu Zhang will never stop fighting because of the emperor."
Everyone stood up quickly, knowing that Cao Cao was about to give an order.
"Please give me your orders, King Wei!"
"Okay, please go back and give your full support to Gu Zheng in gathering people and training the army!"
"After Liu Zhang destroys Sun Quan and captures Yangzhou, Gu Yao will personally lead the army, and then we will have a showdown with him!"
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be just these requirements, which were much better than they imagined.
Recruitment and training are nothing more than requiring the provision of strong men, food, grass and weapons.
Moreover, the power is delegated to them, and they can also collect from all the clans under their command.
If you are a bit evil, it is not impossible to make a war fortune!
"I will obey the orders of King Wei!"
"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Chen Qun will stay for a while, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan will also stay for a while, and the rest will disperse."
Cao Cao waved his hand gently, and everyone hurriedly resigned, leaving in some panic.
In the blink of an eye, there were only four people left in the originally crowded handsome tent, which was quite spacious.
"King Wei, what's the matter with leaving me behind?"
Chen Qun's face was as dark as water, not panicked or nervous.
It seems that Cao Cao had expected to keep him.
Cao Cao stared at Chen Qun for a while before speaking slowly.
"Chang Wen, don't you know why Gu left you?"
Chen Qun shook his head without hesitation to express his ignorance.
"Please give me your instructions, King Wei."
Cao Cao paused and softly uttered two words.
"Xun Yu."
"Xun Yu?"
Cao Cao nodded.
"I was alone in His Majesty's Imperial Study just now, and Xun Yu was hiding behind it."
Chen Qun sighed softly.
"It seems that Wen Ruo and King Wei have made it clear."
"Yes, Xun Yu would rather die than help the emperor fight against Gu."
"What does King Wei mean?"
"What does Wen Chang mean?"
Eyes facing each other, Cao Cao and Chen Qun looked directly at each other.
Both sides almost threw the same question back to each other.
Chen Qun wanted to know how Cao Cao would deal with it.
Similarly, Cao Cao also wanted to know Chen Qun's position.
After a long time, Chen Qun was the first to answer.
"I don't dare to deceive the King of Wei. Wen Ruo has approached me before."
Cao Cao was shocked and was about to ask.
But Chen Qun answered first.
"King Wei, I did not agree to Wen Ruo."
"No matter what happens, I will stand firmly on King Wei's side."
When Cao Cao heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Both the Zhong family and the Han family hold important positions under their command and will not betray them easily.
It can be said that with Chen Qun's support, Xun Yu can't make any waves.
"Chang Wen, with your words, I can rest assured."
Chen Qun shook his head helplessly.
"King Wei, you can't let go so early."
"I can only represent the Chen family. You need to know that there are hundreds of aristocratic families in Yingchuan, including Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, etc., and there are thousands of aristocratic families!"
"Didn't Cui Yan just say that? People are worried about others, so the King of Wei cannot be careless."
Cao Cao's heart was relieved, but he felt excited again in an instant.
He heard a deeper meaning from Chen Qun's words.
It seems that Xun Yu’s plan goes far beyond that!
"Chang Wen, can you tell us in detail?"
"Please forgive me, King Wei. I am just guessing."
Chen Qun surrendered and confessed.
"I didn't agree to Xun Yu, so naturally he wouldn't tell me the detailed plan."
"But according to my understanding of Xun Yu, he never does anything for which he is not prepared."
Cao Cao made a fist with one hand and hit the table hard.
He was really angry. Why did Xun Yu, a capable man like him, have to go against him?
If Xun Yu could help Liu Xie with his resourcefulness, why worry about being unable to fight against Liu Zhang?
"Xun Yu, this once Gu's mastermind, must he be willing to destroy Gu?"
Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun with complicated eyes.
He felt that Chen Qun's words seemed incomplete.
As a member of the Yingchuan clan, how can you not know anything?
"Chang Wen, is there any way you can help me?"
"I am short-witted and short-sighted. Please forgive me, King Wei..."
As Cao Cao expected, he didn't know anything about it!
"Hey! Since Fengxiao left, Gu Lian doesn't have anyone to discuss with!"
At this time, Chen Qun spoke instead.
"King Wei, I do know a person who is very intelligent and may be helpful to King Wei."
"I don't know King Wei..."
