Chapter 167 A sage makes a wise plan at the right time

Cao Cao worked hard for several hours and finally rescued Shishi.

He staggered out of the room, walked naked to the patio, and sat down on the three small nanmu carved beds. He lowered his head and sighed, sweating all over his body, and his whole body seemed to have lost weight.

Wu Song was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly went to get a basin of hot water and brought it to him. Cao Cao slowly scrubbed it, put on his clothes, and panted quietly.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Song boiled another pot of hot wine. Cao Cao took it in his hand and drank it in sips to relieve his fatigue, feeling that his mind was empty.

After all, saving people's lives has never been an easy task, and even with Lao Cao's skill, it was almost unsustainable.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wu Yong and four others returned from the tunnel and entered the room from the backyard, where they saw Cao Cao sitting and drinking.

"Huh? Is that girl actually a golden girl?" When Cao Cao saw Shi Qian coming with them, he immediately guessed Zhao Fujin's background.

Shi Qian smiled and said: "Brother Shi Xiu has good eyesight. That girl is the fifth daughter of the emperor of the dynasty, and she is named Emperor Kangfu. We happened to meet her in the garden, and I heard that brother Shi Xiu risked his life to come to see her. He was very moved.

I’ve even given you tokens of love.”

Cao Cao was very interested when he heard this and said with a smile: "Brother Shi Xiu, you are so good at stealing people's hearts. I'm afraid even Brother Shi Qian is not as good as you."

Shi Xiu smiled brightly and said, "It all depends on my brother's cultivation."

Cao Cao was about to make another joke when he heard Wu Yong say: "Brother, brother Shi Qian has stolen a memorial, which is very important."

Seeing his solemn expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but sit up straight. Shi Qian quickly took out the memorial from his arms and handed it to him.

This memorial was written by Tong Guan, and its content is to reiterate the old strategy proposed by Ma Zhi, a fugitive from the Liao Kingdom: "The Jurchens hate the Liao people and cut their bones. If we send envoys from Denglai to cross the sea, make friends with the Jurchens, and make an agreement to attack Liao, we can rejuvenate the country."

Tuye." He also expressed that he also held a positive attitude and advised the emperor to go ahead. He also boasted about the combat power of the Western Army and tried to ensure that "the first war will avenge a century-old national humiliation, and Nayouyun will serve as a barrier."

Cao Cao looked at it carefully three times, shook his head and laughed: "There is no better way to seek skin from a tiger than this! If the Jurchens were weak in the past, if they had implemented this strategy, they might have achieved great results. Now they have repeatedly defeated the Liao people and established the country for several years. The foundation has been solid and their wings have already matured.

, if we pursue this strategy again, we will have lost all our opportunities.”

When Wu Yong heard this, he frowned deeply. Cao Cao knew that he was puzzled and smiled: "Why do I say that? It's just because those savages were born in a dangerous place and are inevitably rude. Just as Sima Guang said, 'The villain is afraid

Power is not afraid of virtue! How could he take the Song Dynasty seriously when he was arrogant and victorious? If the Song Dynasty was determined to form an alliance, he would look down upon him first. Even if the Song Dynasty formed an alliance and both sides attacked the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would still be able to conquer the Liao Kingdom.

If we win, we can live in peace for a while, but if we are defeated, wouldn't we expose our shortcomings and open the door to the thieves?"

Wu Yong then said: "Brother, this young privy minister is in charge of the Western Army. He has extraordinary fighting power. I can't imagine that he is like this."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "When I was at Erlong Mountain, I once heard Monk Hua talk about the war with Xixia over the years. Isn't it ridiculous that Xixia, a small country with a small army and a strong military force, could continue to be ruthless for many years? If Wu led the army, it would only take five years.

Ten thousand people, train for a year, march across the desert, and be able to overwhelm the country with one strike! With such a weak enemy, the Western Army has been fighting against it for many years, each with its own victory or defeat. How can it really be called a strong army?"

All the brothers couldn't help but feel sad when they saw Cao Cao's eyes shining brightly and looking at Zixiong's demeanor.

Wu Song even laughed and said: "If one day my brother leads the army to defeat Xia, Wu Er will be the vanguard!" Everyone laughed.

Wu Yong thought for a while and then said: "Brother, let alone what his plan is, if he wants to discuss the sea from Denglai, it will be in great conflict with us. Also, now that the official is arrested here,

Whether you go to the ground to kill or release, I have to make my own decision."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "This is a difficult question."

After saying that, he frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "We can't kill him at this time, but if he is let go like this, how will we deal with it? Forget it, Erlang, you and the three brothers Shi Xiu, Li Kui and Mu Hong

, let’s go back to the inn, pick up our luggage, carriage and horses, and come back as soon as possible.”

Several people nodded after listening and hurried away side by side.

Cao Cao thought about it again, but he was happy that his mind was clear and he could sort out the entangled troubles one by one. Suddenly, his heart moved and he smiled: "These two problems may not be solved at the same time...

Let’s go find some pen and paper!”

Wu Yong was about to go get it when suddenly a hoarse voice said: "Here is the pen and paper."

Turning around, he saw it was Master Li.

She was fully dressed now, her face looked weak, she gritted her teeth and frowned, and walked slowly.

When he reached Cao Cao, he put down the pen and ink in his hand and sat down next to him.

Cao Cao said warmly: "Since it's hard work, why not lie down and rest?"

Master Li shook his head and said: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I have to leave the capital with my husband right before I see it. How much longer can I stay lying down? Get up early and pack some luggage."

Cao Cao praised: "She is not scared or frightened. She is indeed not an ordinary woman. It shows that Wu is blessed."

Li Shishi asked curiously: "Isn't your surname Song?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Wuzhi of Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture, is my subordinate. Song Jiang is another brother of mine. Because it is inconvenient to be in the capital, I entrust him to act in his name."

Master Li sighed: "That's all, that Master will be the concubine of the Wu family from now on. I hope you will take pity on me and don't abandon me like a cheat."

Cao Cao said sternly: "I respect my teacher because he has a chivalrous mind and a noble character. I respect him and love him. If he is not worthy enough, how can I abandon him?"

Master Li showed a slight smile and said: "I only hope that Mr. Lang will keep his word."

After saying that, he stretched out his jade arm and went to polish the ink for him.

Cao Cao smiled, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote a letter.

He did not avoid people while writing. Li Shishi sat aside and became more and more surprised as he read. When Cao Cao finished writing, Li Shishi was surprised and said: "How can the old thief be willing to follow Lang Jun's idea?"

Wu Yong was heartbroken after hearing this. Cao Cao picked up the letter and handed it over. Wu Yong glanced at it. He was shocked at first, then looked serious and thoughtful, and finally looked happy and shouted: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Brother, I’m not afraid that the guy won’t cooperate with this letter.”

Seeing that Master Li was confused, he smiled and said, "My sister-in-law has a pure heart, so she doesn't know what those traitorous ministers are thinking."

Cao Cao took the reply letter, took another piece of paper, wrapped it in an envelope, and wrote: "This is personally written by Lieutenant Gao." He dried the ink and handed it to Shi Qian along with Tong Guan's memorial: "No one can handle this except you."

, please put this memorial back to its original place first, and then put this letter on Gao Qiu's pillow after I leave. I will wait for you to return together thirty miles away."

Shi Qian received the letter and memorial and said with a smile: "I will definitely live up to my brother's mission."

Not long after, there was the sound of carriages and horses at the door, and Wu Song and others came in carrying a man. The man's four horses were tied tightly with hooves, his mouth was stuffed with cloth, and his eyes were panicked.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Mr. Murong, I have never seen you in Qingzhou. Who would have expected that we would meet in Bianjing? The person I invited you to come back to avenge Qin and Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that you would be so lucky, but we would end up causing trouble in the sky?"

We are in serious trouble, so we have to borrow your name to temporarily avoid trouble. Brother Shi Qian, is it okay?"

Shi Qian looked at Murong Yanda and Mu Hong's faces repeatedly for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's not a big problem, but we still need eyebrow pencil, rouge and other things."

Master Li stood up and said, "If you only want these, Master Li will have them at home."

Cao Cao said: "Master, please go and get it for my brother. You should also pack some bags and get in the car first and wait for me. The rest of the brothers, we will do this, this, and this."

After everyone heard what he said, they all looked surprised and exclaimed, "How wonderful."
