Yu Fan stroked the short beard under his jaw, smiled slightly, and continued: "Let's take a step back, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao join forces, they will not have a great chance of winning. When they join forces, at best, it is only to restore the situation when the Yuan family revived. So what can we do? Although Yanzhou can support him until now, Cao Cao has made contributions, but the support behind the Chu Prince's Mansion is not insignificant. Once Cao Cao and the King of Kings go against each other, shouldn't he consider what kind of strength he has without these support?"

Xun You coughed and spoke. "What the King, Zhongxiang and Fengxiao said are very practical issues. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao joined forces and their chances of winning will not exceed 30%, so they are not afraid. However, the war is fierce and dangerous. What we need to consider is not what will happen after they join forces, but the present. As a general of the guard, Cao Cao controls the entire capital. The king is in Luoyang. He should not have conflicts with him unless he has no choice, so as not to become a person. Even if there are millions of soldiers, he will not be able to rescue him."

Liu Xiu was slightly slight, Guo Jia and Yu Fan started from Cao Cao's psychology and situation, and analyzed that there was little possibility of joining forces with Yuan Shao, while Xun You started from using troops and reminded him not to take this matter lightly. Even if Cao Cao did not join forces with Yuan Shao, it was possible to use Yuan Shao as a support. From his perspective, it is of course the best choice to keep the emperor at present.

"It is unlikely that we can pull Cao Cao over, but we should keep him neutral." Guo Jia bowed and said, "I am willing to meet Cao Cao first."

"That won't work, it's too dangerous." Liu Xiu denied it. If Cao Cao goes crazy and kills Guo Jia, then his losses will be too great. Is it easy to cultivate such a smart and very reliable person?

"The king personally rushed to Luoyang and took much more risks than this." Guo Jia stood up and bowed down: "Jia has been a child and served the king, and has been favored by the king. At this time, how could Jia care about his safety and keep his feet away? Furthermore, Zhongxiang and Gongda just said that Cao Cao was in a profit, and as long as he got the benefits, he would not be enemies with the general. Jia was in great favor, and only when Jia went, he could make him believe in the king's sincerity."

Yu Fan and Xun You also nodded in agreement. At this moment, it was difficult for Cao Cao to believe Liu Xiu's sincerity when he sent an insignificant person to go. Guo Jia was Liu Xiu's confidant. Cao Cao knew very well that when he was a lobbyist, his weight was naturally different, and the possibility of success was greater. On the other hand, if Cao Cao killed Guo Jia, it proved that he had decided. Liu Xiu would not have to hesitate anymore and directly prepared to solve the problem with force. Don't expect to win him over.

Guo Jia regarded himself as a heavyweight bargaining chip and forced Cao Cao to make a clear decision. He either supported Liu Xiu or opposed Liu Xiu, and there was no third way to go.

Liu Xiu understood this truth, but he just didn't dare to take risks. Guo Jia has been with him since he was eleven years old. Now he has watched Guo Jia grow from a young man to a heroic young man. The relationship between them has long surpassed the ordinary relationship between the monarch and the minister, and is more of a kind of family affection that sometimes looks like father and son, and sometimes brothers. He doesn't want Guo Jia to take this risk.

Seeing Liu Xiu hesitating, Guo Jia guessed his thoughts all of a sudden, and was even more excited. He bowed again: "Jia is very grateful for the worry of the king. However, Ma Fubo said that he would wrap his body in the generals as horse leather, and not lie in the hands of his children on the bed. Although Jia could not fight like Ma Fubo, as a military plan, it was a blessing for Jia Neng to have such an opportunity to serve the king. Please do not delay any more. Jia would have more chances when he arrived in front of Cao Cao one day. If he was constantly breaking, he would suffer the chaos. The opportunity should not be missed, and the time would not come again."

Yu Fan and Xun You also came forward to persuade him. Liu Xiu pondered for a while and had to respond. He patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "Yongxiao, you must be careful and never show off. Don't forget that you have not gotten married yet, but you can't die."

Guo Jia's face turned red, and his energy just now disappeared without a trace, and he was embarrassed. When Yu Fan and Xun You saw it, they couldn't help laughing: "King, when Fengxiao returns after his success, the King should choose a good marriage for him to reward him."

"It must be." Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing.

Guo Jia thanked him, then cleaned up and rushed to Cao Cao's camp. Liu Xiu was worried and wrote a handwritten letter to Cao Cao, which was used to threaten and temptation, and did everything he could. On the one hand, he hoped that Cao Cao would not act rashly, especially not to hurt Guo Jia's life.

Liu Xiu temporarily locked up in Yique and waited for news from Guo Jia. During this period, he responded to the military newspaper transferred by the emperor. He said that the generals of Bingliang were grateful for the queen mother's kindness and wanted to help the queen mother. This was their loyalty and filial piety and should be fulfilled. However, Your Majesty was worried that it would be inconvenient for them to bring a large number of military soldiers into the capital, and there was a way to do so. I no longer hold military positions and cannot directly order them. I suggest that they can worship outside the capital, such as the soldiers of Bingzhou are in Hedong and the soldiers of Liangzhou are in Guanzhong. This will not only satisfy their wishes, but also avoid misunderstandings from others.

Liu Xiu's reply was sent to Luoyang. After seeing it, the young emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Liu Xiu's suggestion was still murderous, he refused to let these people enter the capital, which means that he had not decided to fight with him regardless of his generation, and large-scale military conflicts could be avoided.

The young emperor forwarded Liu Xiu's suggestion to the San Gong. After the San Gong looked at it, he let out a long sigh and looked at each other, and they were all a little lucky. They may have different differences on whether to support Liu Xiu's usurpation of the throne, but they did not want a war in the capital. It is normal for the court to fight for power and profit, or even kill people and shed blood. As long as the news can be blocked and the aftermath will not have much impact, especially the impact on people's livelihood, the only one who was unlucky in the end was those who stood in the wrong team. However, once the war started, it would not only be hidden, but it would be known to everyone in the world, but once the control was not good, the soldiers who were red-eyed would raise their butcher knives to ordinary people. Luoyang would probably follow in Chang'an's footsteps and become a ruin.

Whether it is for the sake of the people or for the sake of one's own family, this is something that no one with a little bit of mind wants to see. As long as the army does not enter the capital, no matter how Liu Xiu and the emperor fight, casualties will always be limited.

The happiest of the three is Lu Zhi. Although he doesn't know if Liu Xiu did this because of Lu Min's words, it is enough to prove that Liu Xiu has not lost his mind yet. Facing a strong man who is still rational is safer than facing a crazy strong man... On Monday, please recommend, please vote for monthly tickets, and please add more motivation!
