Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 275 Cao Cao: How to take the emperor away?
Seeing that Xiahou Lan didn't know either, Xi Zhicai stopped asking and instead called upon Xiahou Lan to follow. The two of them caught up with Emperor Liu Xie and others.

Emperor Liu Xie brought Zhang Sui and Cao Cao to the general's tent.

The emperor sat at the first seat, with Zhang Sui and Cao Cao sitting on the left and right below.

Other generals also rushed over.

Sitting next to Zhang Sui were generals such as Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, and Yang Feng.

Sitting next to Cao Cao were Xi Zhicai and several others.

Other civil and military officials also took their seats.

Emperor Liu Xie wanted to appease everyone.

Zhang Sui glanced at Cao Cao and said to Emperor Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss state affairs. At this time, I think the Queen, as the mother of a country, should be present."

Zhang Sui's words made everyone look over.

They had never thought about Queen Fu Shou before!
There has never been any occasion like this before.

Not to mention the current situation.

Now, Zhang Sui brought it up separately.

Everyone looked at Zhang Sui with meaningful eyes.

Could it be Yuan Shao who ordered it?

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Sui with some surprise.

Zhang Sui represents Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao values ​​the queen, how dare people like him ignore her?

At least for now.

Emperor Liu Xie then smiled and said to the outside: "Call the Queen in!"

Not long after, Queen Fu Shou walked in alone and sat next to Emperor Liu Xie.

Emperor Liu Xie then glanced at the crowd and said, "This time we were able to defeat Li Jue, Guo Si and his ilk, thanks to the hard work of Lord Cao and General Zhang."

"I wonder what you two dear ministers have to discuss next?"

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Sui with some caution and said with a smile, "General Zhang, what do you think?"

Everyone wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Even though Cao Cao had made great contributions, he still acted according to Yuan Shao's mood.

Fortunately, I did not offend Yuan Shao, my future son-in-law, when I was in the lobby of Anyi County Government.

Otherwise, today would be embarrassing.

Zhang Sui saw that Cao Cao was asking him about himself, so he hesitated for a moment and said to Cao Cao, "When I came here, my father-in-law told me to escort His Majesty and the Queen to Luoyang safely."

crowd:"."

father in law?

The relationship between Zhang Sui and Yuan Shao was not an ordinary father-in-law and son-in-law relationship.

Yuan Shao's legitimate daughter and Zhang Sui had not yet married, but Zhang Sui had already started calling him "father-in-law".

There was also a slight change in Cao Cao's gaze when he looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui also noticed that Cao Cao's expression was a little more serious, and continued: "Your Majesty wanted to return to Luoyang before."

"My father-in-law said that he is unable to spare any time for the moment."

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was arrogant and domineering. He treated human life as nothing and killed Liu Yu, a relative of the Han Dynasty."

"He must first pacify Youzhou for the Han Dynasty and capture Gongsun Zan."

"However, although he can't free his hands now, but——"

Zhang Sui looked at Emperor Liu Xie and said, "As long as His Majesty has an order, he will send elite soldiers to help no matter how busy he is."

Emperor Liu Xie secretly cursed Yuan Shao in his heart.

Well said.

For nearly a year, I have suffered in Anyi County, and I have not seen you come to help me at all!
Although he hated Yuan Shao in his heart, Emperor Liu Xie still smiled and said, "My dear Yuan Shao, you care about the country, which comforts me."

Cao Cao felt uncomfortable when he heard what Zhang Sui said.

Zhang Sui's words had a hidden meaning.

He is threatening himself!

Of course, he didn't believe that Zhang Sui could say this.

Yuan Shao must have said this to himself.

Yuan Shao's words told me two things:
First, he was vying for the throne.

Second, even if you get the emperor, don't even think about escaping from his control. He can beat you at any time.

Cao Cao suppressed his anger.

I thought that since Yuan Shao wouldn’t come, everything would be fine.

Although Yuan Shao did not come now, he sent a son-in-law who has some abilities.

This is a troublesome matter.

When Emperor Liu Xie heard that Zhang Sui had finished speaking and Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials remained silent, he felt a little depressed.

Why don’t you mention the issue of military power?
Cao Cao was just a governor of Yanzhou.

Shouldn't he hand over his military power to the emperor? Yet, not a single civil or military official mentioned this matter!

The banquet was originally held to bring up this matter.

No one mentions it now, so why would he, the emperor, mention it?
Obviously inappropriate.

It seems that we have to wait until after the banquet to talk about this.

At present, he can only reward the soldiers and show his compassion for them as the emperor.

Emperor Liu Xie hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about this for now."

"We won a great victory today, let's do something fun!"

After saying that, he said to the outside: "Someone, play music!"

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Upon seeing this, the father-in-law Dong Cheng hurriedly got up and went out.

After a while, dozens of figures were seen coming in.

Someone was playing music.

Some people are dancing.

Afterwards, the banquet began.

Although there were some minor incidents today, which made Emperor Liu Xie a little unhappy.

But what has he not seen since he ascended the throne and became emperor over the years?
He didn't care at all.

Being able to defeat Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and then taking back the military power, made him happy.

Emperor Liu Xie drank a little too much.

Afterwards, he left the scene with the help of two eunuchs.

Seeing this, Zhang Sui and Cao Cao followed and left.

As soon as Cao Cao left, he summoned his generals and advisers into his tent.

When Cao Cao came to assist the king this time, he brought with him Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Jin, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Lan, and Cai Yang.

And his eldest son Cao Ang.

The counselor only brought two people.

One is Cheng Yu.

One of them is Xi Zhicai.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Cao Cao poured himself a glass of cold water and said, "Tell me, what do you think of Zhang Sui? How can we take the emperor away from him?"

"To be honest, although this young man is smart, he is too young. I am not afraid of him."

"But standing behind him is Yuan Benchu."

"Now we are still flying the banner of Yuan Benchu."

"And Yuan Benchu ​​now has a strong army and cavalry, occupying Bingzhou, Jizhou, most of Qingzhou, and most of Youzhou."

"Yanzhou is adjacent to Jizhou."

"If I don't behave properly, I'm afraid Yuan Benchu ​​will call me."

"We will have no problem dealing with Lü Bu, Li Jue and the like."

"But it is not easy for us to deal with Yuan Shao."

"Even if we have the emperor in our hands in the future, we won't be able to do it in a short time."

Seeing this, Cao Hong said, "Brother, I wonder when Zhang Sui took Xu Rong under his command."

"I'm really a little scared too."

"Xu Rong was a general under Dong Zhuo and was good at fighting."

"Plus Yuan Benchu."

“This is a big problem.”

A sneer suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a thin but tall man who took a sip of his drink, shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"Yuan Shao has indeed become powerful."

“But we are no longer what we used to be.”

"Who of you dared to imagine facing Li Jue and Guo Si in the past?"

"But today, we killed Li Jue, Guo Si and others so badly that they fled in panic."

"Who of you dares to imagine facing Lu Bu in the past?"

"But now, Lu Bu teamed up with Chen Gong to seize our Yanzhou, and we also drove him out of Yanzhou."

"Before that, we chased Yuan Shu with more than 100,000 soldiers for 600 miles."

The big man raised his eyebrows, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, stop boosting others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige!"
