Wei state, Xu Du.
Today's Liu Xie, completely overhead, has become a puppet. Because now all the government affairs have not been presented to him, but directly approved by Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao did not become king before, even if all the memorials went to Cao Cao's Sikong mansion first, they were eventually sent to Liu Xie's palace symbolically for Liu Xie to know.
Now, after Cao Cao became the king of Wei, everything has changed, and Liu Xie has no chance to contact the memorial. Even at the court meeting, there was almost nothing wrong.
In particular, after Cao Cao slaughtered several ministers in succession, everyone was afraid of Cao Cao. Today, even if there are people loyal to Liu Xie, their influence is almost nonexistent.
This is Liu Xie's helplessness.
However, Liu Xie was helpless.
Today, Liu Xie resents not only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but also Zhang Xiu.
Liu Xie believes that Zhang Xiu cheated him. Zhang Xiu won his imperial edict to fight against Cao Cao, but he repeatedly refused to fight against Cao Cao. In the end, Zhang Xiu directly revealed his imperial edict against Cao Cao, which made Liu Xie in trouble.
In particular, Zhang Xiu was the first one to become king.
This broke the practice of the great man.
A series of things made Liu Xie angry at Zhang Xiu's "betrayal.". But no matter how angry Liu Xie is, he is just a bird in a cage now, and he has no freedom at all.
palace has Cao Cao's eyeliner, and the palace guard is Cao Cao's man. Cao Cao has the final say for
.
Compared with Liu Xie's anger, Cao Cao's recent life is still comfortable. After all, during this period of time, the whole system of Cao Wei was stable, and all parts of the country entered a relatively peaceful stage one after another.
Prince Wei's residence, in the study.
After Cao Cao finished his administrative work, he sent someone to invite Guo Jia to the palace.
After Guo Jia entered, he saluted and said, "king!"
Cao Cao waved to Guo Jia to take his seat and said, "I'm thinking about a problem now. Today's Zhang Xiu, a temporary truce, quickly accumulated strength. While Zhang Xiu didn't send troops, should we send troops to attack Liu Bei and wipe out Liu Bei. Leaving Liu Bei in Yuzhou is always a threat. "
"The king must not!"
Guo Jia shook his head and denied the proposal.
Cao Cao said, "why?"
Guo Jia replied: "if the King attacks Liu Bei, can Zhang Xiu be a spectator? Now Liu Bei's strength has stabilized, especially Liu Bei, who is used to buying people's hearts. "
"Under his rule, the people are subordinate. Without Zhang Xiu's external threat, we could have wiped out Liu Bei. But in today's situation, once we try our best to wipe out Liu Bei, we will certainly lose a lot. "
"At that time, Zhang Xiu suddenly enters the state of Wei. What can the king resist?"
"As a matter of fact, Liu Bei did not dare to attack the king's area wantonly. Because Zhuge Liang is sure to know that at this time, he and the king will benefit each other if they cooperate, and if they fight, they will lose each other. He can only let Zhang Xiu take advantage. "
Guo Jia said: "I dare to suggest that the king put out his mind to attack Liu Bei."
"Alas..."
Cao fengcao said, "you know that. But is it that Liu Bei has been allowed to become a state within the territory of Wei? "
Guo Jia said: "there is no way to do this. As long as Zhang Xiu is in one day, or as long as Zhang Xiu's strength is the strongest, Liu Bei has to exist. Only when Zhang Xiu's strength is weakened and the Lord's strength can crush Zhang Xiu, can he attack Liu Bei. Whether it's the strength of the king or Liu Bei, it can't compare with Zhang Xiu. There's no way to do that. "
Cao Cao sighed: "this situation is similar to the Warring States period. Today, the state of Qin in Zhang Xiu is the strongest country, and its military is powerful and irresistible. The strength of our countries is weaker than that of Zhang Xiu. Now this situation, if the two sides fight, is to take the road to death, can only be together against Zhang Xiu
"So it is
Guo Jia nodded his head. He believed that Cao Cao could have a wise judgment.
"Your Highness, Mr. Cheng Yu, please see me!"
Just at this time, the voice of the waiter sounded from outside the study.
After hearing this, Cao Cao said, "please!"
After an internal waiter, Cheng Yu quickly enters the study. Cheng Yu lifted up his robe and arched his hand to say, "I'll see you, Cheng Yu."
"Sit down!"
Cao Cao waved his hand.
After thanking him, Cheng Yu sat down and solemnly said, "king, I just received the latest news from Chang'an."
Cao Cao leaned forward slightly and said, "what's the news?"
Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Xiu set up a Daqin bank in Chang'an, which is similar to a bank. Please read the details. "
Immediately, Cheng Yu handed the letter.
Cao Cao quickly read it after he received it. When he finished reading it, he looked surprised and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that this piece of embroidery had nothing to do, and then a Daqin bank came out.""According to Cao Xu, Daqin bank is a special bank. Let the people save money to get interest, and then Daqin bank loans to earn interest. "
"Cao Xu said in his letter that the bank seems to be stable and supported by Zhang Xiu's gold mine. But in fact, the daily expenses of Daqin bank are countless. "
"Once there is a large-scale cashing, it is very likely that it cannot be cashed."
Cao Cao flashed a brilliant light in his eyes and said: "that is to say, once Zhang Xiu's Daqin bank is short of funds, it will lead to the paralysis of Daqin bank and big problems."
"That's what I mean!"
Cheng Yu nodded, stroked his beard and said, "I'm also pondering over what Cao Xu has said along the way. To be careful, it can be operated
Guo Jia had some doubts.
He didn't know much about Daqin bank.
After Cao Cao handed the letter to Guo Jia, Guo Jia read it quickly, speculated in his heart, and solemnly said: "in case of insufficient cash, Zhang Xiu will make preparations to ensure that there will be no major problems. Whether we do it or not, Zhang Xiu is well prepared. "
Cheng Yu said: "even if Zhang Xiu is prepared, it is impossible to have too much preparation. In my opinion, we can unite with Yuan Shao and let Yuan Shao and US plan for Daqin bank. "
"If you don't have a single soldier, but you can make use of money, you can make Zhang Xiu fall behind, and even lead to a big hole in Zhang Xiu's finance. Then you have a chance to deal with Zhang Xiu."
"In my opinion, Zhang Xiu's establishment of Daqin bank is likely to require working capital and misappropriate the money of Daqin bank. Otherwise, he would not have made such a move. "
Cheng Yu said: "because the operation of Daqin bank is obviously thankless."
Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "what Mr. Zhong De said is true. How can we always guard against thieves for thousands of days. Let's join hands with Yuan Shao to overturn the Bank of Daqin, so that Zhang Xiu's reputation will be destroyed and Zhang Xiu's finance will be in crisis. "
After a pause, Cao Cao said: "as long as the Daqin bank is in chaos, we have a chance to defeat Zhang Xiu. All along, Zhang Xiu's Xuan paper, coal and stone have made countless profits, supporting her southern and Northern battles. If there is a crisis, Zhang Xiu's family will collapse completely. "
At this moment, Cao Cao is very excited.
He thought the opportunity had come.
Now there is no war and the deadlock has been maintained. Cao Cao has no way to take Zhang Xiu. But, Zhang Xiu this time out of the blind move, so Cao Cao's heart, have to hand the idea.
Cao Cao said, "what do you think of fengxiao? Now, whether we want to do it or not. "
Guo Jia's suggestion is extremely important.
So Cao Cao asked.
After careful consideration, Guo Jia said in a deep voice, "Your Highness agrees with Yuan Shao's proposal. If it's just us, it's more difficult. If both sides can unite, that is the best result. "
Cao Cao said: "it takes more time for both sides to unite. After all, it takes us a lot of time to arrange for people to go to Jizhou. In the end, we have to send orders to Cao Xu to connect with Yuan Shao's people in Chang'an and make plans. It's going to take months, but I think it's worth it. "
Guo Jia said: "since your Highness has made a decision, you can make a plan. In the current situation, there is no war. They are all recuperating and competing with Zhang Xiu in a war without gunpowder. "
Cao Cao said, "if you know me, you should be filial."
Cheng Yu said: "in that case, the old minister immediately arranged for people to go north to contact Yuan Shao."
"Yes!"
Cao Cao responded directly.
After discussing the details, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu get up and leave. Cao Cao paced back and forth in his study, looking forward to it. Because the foundation of Zhang Xiu seems to be strong, but if the Bank of Daqin declines this time, Zhang Xiu will turn from prosperity to decline. This is his chance to defeat Zhang Xiu.
