There is anthracite burning in the camp.
The heat dissipated, dispelling the chill of the Chinese Army's tent.
Although most of the time, Cao Cao was in Sikong mansion, there were also Cao Cao's barracks in the barracks to facilitate Cao Cao's handling of military affairs.
Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao sat down in the tent. They sat opposite each other. In front of them was a table with a pot of warm wine and a dish of vegetables.
Cao Cao poured wine for Zhang Xiu and said with a smile, "this is the first time for you and my son-in-law to sit in a bar like this."
"Yes
Zhang Xiu answered with a smile.
In the face of Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu can feel the charm of Cao Cao, that kind of free and easy, that kind of indifferent charm. However, Zhang Xiu did not fear Cao Cao.
Cao Cao picked up the bottle and said with a smile, "my son-in-law, please!"
"Please
Zhang Xiu took the bottle and drank it down.
Cao Cao said: "I'm close to the challenge arena. Before, my son-in-law and Xu Chu fought each other, singing loudly and bloodily. It's just the last paragraph. You speak fast. I can't hear you very well. Can you say it again? "
Previously, Cao Cao noticed.
Cao Cao's song is hot.
Zhang Xiu smile, said: "the last paragraph, is my favorite."
"Killing one is a crime, killing ten thousand is a hero. If you kill nine million, you will be the hero in the hero. "
"As far as I'm concerned, I like it very much."
Zhang Xiu said: "this is the case in the troubled times."
Cao Cao chewed it in his mouth, but he was also in high spirits and marveled. He said, "yes, yes, it's really exquisite. I didn't expect that my son-in-law was so outstanding in literary talent. "
For the last paragraph, Cao Cao thought it was incisive.
Although it's killing, it's a troubled time.
In troubled times, heavy allusions should be used.
Zhang Xiu was modest and poured wine for Cao Cao. She said, "I have a piece of news about my father-in-law."
Cao Cao said, "what's the news?"
Zhang Xiu said: "Fude, the eldest son of Fuwan, has united with the officials in the court to overthrow you. They even put their ideas on me, trying to defeat my father-in-law with the help of my strength. "
Cao Cao laughed and said, "son-in-law, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"What do you say?" Zhang Xiu talks with a smile.
Cao Cao said: "you have clearly promised Fude and others that you will fight in Chang'an. But now, in the twinkling of an eye, you tell me the news. "
"In my opinion, you are deliberately perfunctory, so that they continue to prepare against me."
"Now, tell me the news again."
"I hope I can deal with Ford and his party and have an infighting with them."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "even if I can crush Fude and others, if I really kill these people, I'm afraid that countless people in the world will point at my nose and scold me as a thief, saying that I'm no different from Dong Zhuo. Is that right? "
Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "my father-in-law misunderstood me. I'm just worried about his safety. How can I count on you?"
Cao Cao said, "I don't believe you."
In fact, Zhang Xiu really has the mind of calculating Cao Cao, intending to pit Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao really takes action and takes down Fude, Wangfu, Zhongji and others in one go to kill the officials in the court, it is bound to cause a great shock. Officials loyal to the emperor will surely compete to accuse Cao Cao of being a Han thief or a Cao thief.
This is Zhang Xiu's intention.
Unexpectedly, he was immediately exposed by Cao Cao.
Zhang Xiu sighed: "Alas, my father-in-law doesn't believe me. I always treat people with sincerity and don't like to cheat. My father-in-law, to be honest, I'm not worth it for you. "
Cao Cao said: "how to say?"
Zhang Xiu took the wine bottle to Cao Cao and drank a glass of wine. Warm wine, warm all over. He put down his wine glass and said, "my father-in-law is dedicated to maintaining the Han Dynasty's rivers and mountains. He crusades against my ministers and breaks his heart for the Han Dynasty's rivers and mountains."
"My father-in-law is loyal to the emperor and devoted to serving the country."
"Unfortunately, the father-in-law is not trusted by the emperor. The emperor is afraid of you, and the courtiers are jealous of you. All the people in the emperor's family want you to die. I wish you would hand over your military power and political power and let them be in power. "
"These people, however, have high eyes and low hands."
"Let them govern the present court and manage the present world. I'm afraid it won't be long before Yanzhou will fall apart. The imperial court just after the Qingming Festival is going to be in a mess again. "
Zhang Xiu said: "if there were no father-in-law in the Great Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would have collapsed. Unfortunately, the father-in-law wanted to do something. The Emperor didn't trust him, and the courtiers wanted to seize power. It's hard. I'm not worth it for my father-in-law! "
Cao Cao was silent when he heard the speech.
He took the bottle in his hand, looked up and drank it.
Zhang Xiu's words poke at Cao Cao's weakness. Although Cao Cao's family was the only one, which suppressed Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other people, Cao Cao also had a hard time in the court.Inward, rough.
Outside the court, there was constant fighting.
This situation is not easy.
Unfortunately, the Emperor didn't think so. The emperor thought that Cao Cao was in charge of everything. So far, Cao Cao can clap his chest and feel his conscience, saying that he is wholeheartedly toward the Han Dynasty, hoping to sweep away his followers and stabilize the situation in the world.
Unfortunately, it's not understood.
However, Cao Cao's mood, the blink of an eye to put away, did not reveal the slightest.
In the face of Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao said with a smile: "but it's not so easy to do everything. Some difficulties are normal. Besides, it's my own choice. It's meaningless to talk about whether it's worth it or not. "
"No matter how hard it is, you have to swallow it. No matter how hard it is, you have to go up."
"What's more, I've been cleaning up the mess a little bit. I'm full of pride and achievement. I don't think it's worth it. Everything is worth it. "
Cao Cao's face is full of confidence.
Thinking about the world gradually clear, Cao Cao's heart, it is also full of endless pride.
Zhang Xiu continued to bewitch: "if it were me, I would definitely not like it. To my people, I'm Zhang Xiu. If you don't respect me, I will never be soft handed. "
"Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Fu De, Wang Fu and other people, if I were to uphold the government, even if I didn't kill them, they would have been exiled long ago and thrown to a place where birds don't poop, where they would not be allowed to jump all day long."
"Father in law, you are so kind."
"You're just going to be determined and confused. The more you tolerate them, in fact, the more they jump up and down. In fact, you don't want to be authoritarian, but you have to be authoritarian. "
Zhang Xiu said: "if you don't have exclusive power, you can't handle the affairs of the central government."
Cao Cao frowned.
In his opinion, Zhang Xiu has not let go, still want to bewitch him to deal with the emperor.
This kid is so cunning.
It's not a thing!
Cao Cao doesn't think he's kind. He's always been tough.
In fact, Cao Cao's heart just now, also moved by Zhang Xiu's words, that Zhang Xiu understand him, is his confidant. But now, Cao Cao thinks that Zhang Xiu is slippery and will be hit if he doesn't pay attention.
Zhang Xiu continued: "in fact, as long as your father-in-law is not dictatorial, you will fight in the front, and you will fight in the back. But as long as you have the power, and want to get a good reputation, and want to please the emperor, it is impossible
"If you are dictatorial, you are the thief of Cao, the one who disrespects the emperor."
"Those loyal to the emperor in the court will regard you as a thorn in the flesh. So in my opinion, the best way is to learn Dong Zhuo's way. If you don't agree with him, kill him. "
"What's more, it's not Dong Zhuo's time."
Zhang Xiu said: "when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the imperial government, there were countless important officials in the world, including Lu Zhi, Xun Shuang, Yang Biao, Zhang Wen, Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Yuan Kai, Huangfu song and so on. There were countless people loyal to the emperor's family in the imperial court."
"But now?"
"These people are almost dead."
"Less, too little."
Zhang Xiu said: "as long as the father-in-law let go, he can completely control the government, leaving no one against you. Anyway, you've been scolded as a thief of Cao. Why hide and tuck in? "
Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw and tut tut said, "my son-in-law, in my opinion, you are not the best at martial arts. Your martial arts are not the best in the world, because there are people like Lu Bu. "
Zhang Xiu said, "what's the most powerful?"
Cao Cao said: "your mouth is extremely sharp. If you look around the world, you can't find anyone to compete with you. You are bewitching me with your words. If you want to arouse my inner resentment, let me slaughter the Han ministers in the court and promote internal friction, you can't think about it. "
Zhang Xiu shook her head and sighed: "it's a pity that my father-in-law treated my kindness as a donkey's liver and lung. Father in law, I just want to say one word. It's painful to kill these people. But as long as you get through it, not only do you have no internal friction under your command, you are absolutely monolithic. "
After a pause, Zhang Xiu said, "especially some people headed by Xun Yu, although they are loyal to you, they also respect the emperor. They are always merciful when the emperor is here. The emperor is completely suppressed, and there will be no more action. Only in this way can you be completely stable under your command. "
"You see, bluffing me again."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "you, you, you really can bewitch people."
