After returning to the city, Cao Cao held the envelope Liu Zhe gave him, feeling uneasy and wondering whether he should open it and take a look.
Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind, so he summoned Jiang Ji and Wang Lang and expressed his concerns.
After Jiang Ji heard this, he said directly, "King Wei, take it apart."
Cao Cao said, "Isn't this a bit unkind?"
If he doesn¡¯t open it, if something bad happens to him inside, it will be too late to deal with it. If you take it apart, as Cao Cao said just now, it feels unkind. Liu Zhe would definitely laugh to death if he were here. Is this the time to talk about morality?
Wang Lang understood what Cao Cao meant. He took a step forward and said to Cao Cao, "King Wei, can you show me?"
Cao Cao handed it to Wang Lang. After Wang Lang took it, he tore it up immediately without saying a word.
Seeing Wang Lang tearing it apart, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with joy, and at the same time he said anxiously, "What are you doing? Alas."
Wang Lang said, "King Wei, when King Yan knows about it, you can tell King Yan that I opened it."
Cao Cao said, "Oh, oh, forget it, just tear it up and show it to me."
However, when Cao Cao saw it, his expression gradually became serious. Finally, he slammed the table and said angrily, "It's too much to bully others. It's too much to bully others."
Wang Lang and Jiang Ji were curious about what was written on it that could make Cao Cao lose his composure.
When the contents of the envelope were passed to the two of them, they finally understood why Cao Cao was so angry after reading it.
Because the first name Liu Zhe wanted to confer as a reward was Wang Yun. The following people are either from Wang Yun's faction or from the centrist faction. Of course, there are also Cao Cao's men. As for Liu Zhe, there are none.
Whether it is Jiang Ji or Wang Lang, they have rich political and economic experience. If they really award rewards according to this list, they can foresee what kind of bloody storm Xu Du will cause.
Cao Cao fought with Liu Zhe, and now he has to compensate the retreating troops. In the eyes of the world, this will undoubtedly mean that Cao Cao failed and suffered a loss. This has already dealt a serious blow to Cao Cao's reputation. After returning, the emperor canonizes those who rewarded Wang Yun, or centrist officials, which will undoubtedly send a signal that Cao Cao is unable to check and balance the emperor.
It is bound to trigger a chain reaction, that is, people who are loyal to the emperor will not be able to help but take action. No matter what they do, it will have a serious impact on Cao Cao, and even seriously weaken Cao Cao's strength. It is more likely that someone will take risks to assassinate Cao Cao. If the assassination is successful, the Wei State will definitely fall apart.
"So ruthless, so ruthless Liu Zhe." Cao Cao has been scolding Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe's move can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron, and is intended to fundamentally dismantle Cao Cao's foundation.
"Damn it, I'm going to fight him." Cao Cao roared, he couldn't do Liu Zhe's request. If he did, it would be no different from digging his own grave.
"Cao Cao is angry and hateful. Liu Zhe wants him to hang himself."
Cao Cao wished he could mobilize his troops and go out to fight Liu Zhe now.
"Maybe he can beat Liu Zhe. If he is canonized according to Liu Zhe's list, it will be a slow death.
At this time, Jiang Ji raised a question, "King Wei, why did King Yan give you this list and ask you to go back and ask the emperor to canonize and reward them, instead of asking the emperor to canonize and reward them?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.
Needless to say, Liu Zhe¡¯s identity was that the emperor¡¯s uncle, King Yan, had a high status and was so powerful that no one dared to despise the opinions or suggestions he gave. If he went up to the table and asked for canonization and reward, neither the emperor nor Cao Cao would dare to refuse casually.
Cao Cao said, "What else? You just want to deliberately humiliate me."
Jiang Ji shook his head and said, "If King Yan wants to humiliate King Wei, he will not limit himself to this small trick. If King Yan comes forward, then Wang Situ's group and those in the middle will definitely be greatly encouraged by this, and they may take advantage of the opportunity." To do something, they thought that King Yan was their backer. If King Yan really wanted to shake the foundation of King Wei, why didn't he do this? Instead, he handed this list to King Wei and asked King Wei to come. Processing. Although it is sealed, Chen feels that King Yan will definitely believe that King Wei will open it and take a look. "
Cao Cao somewhat understood what Jiang Ji meant, and he asked, "What does it mean?"
Jiang Jidao, "I suspect that King Yan did this on purpose. He deliberately wanted King Wei to see this list. He deliberately wanted King Wei to know that he wanted these people to be canonized and rewarded. I felt that his purpose was to give people King Wei, you put pressure on me."
