445 Cao Cao seeks princes 1

Just when Lu Ninghe's subordinates were studying the matter of sending troops to recover Yongzhou, Cao Cao also called Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, Liu Fu, Xu You, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Mao Jie, Man Chong, Lu Qian, Cao Chun, Cao Ang, Fan Cheng, Ren Jun and other senior civil and military officials to celebrate the acquisition of the little emperor and completely control the court. Lao Cao was so proud now, and was full of joy and was constantly eating and drinking with his subordinates, singing and dancing to peace.

During the meal, Xu You held the wine in the glass and said to Cao Cao, "Congratulations to the lord for being the Grand General Wupinghou." When everyone around him saw Xu You flattering, they all stood up and flattered the boss, making Lao Cao laugh and smiled happily.

Cao Hong said arrogantly: "Haha, from now on, whoever dares to disobey the lord from the lord? As long as there is someone who dares to disobey him, then we have a reason to deal with him. We should send troops with confidence and follow the will of the people."

After hearing this, Xun You shook his head and said, "This is not certain. I dare not say other princes, but Lu Ning from Bingzhou may not necessarily obey. Big Xiong used to not even listen to the words of the late emperor, but now his strength has increased significantly, and he will not be at the mercy of others. To put it bluntly, Big Xiong is just a madman, a mad tiger who is not afraid of heaven and earth."

After hearing this, Cheng Yu also said, "We are lucky enough to welcome the emperor this time. At that time, the court also asked Lu Ning in Bingzhou for help, but the boy Lu Ning was not in Bingzhou and said he was going overseas to sell things, so that the civil and military officials in Bingzhou could not decide whether to send troops. Otherwise, the emperor and the ministers in the court might have been captured by Lu Ning."

After hearing this, Liu Fu also said with a reckless look on his face: "Yes, this big bear is such a weird person. People in the world regard doing business as a barrage. Big bear openly leads merchant ships and travels thousands of miles to overseas to make money at the risk of his life. No matter how he says he is, he is still a prince. Why is he still doing whatever he wants and not pay attention to his reputation being damaged? Could it be that Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Guo Jia, Gu Yong and others under his control did not stop it?"

Cao Ren said: "I heard that Big Bear has just returned to Bingzhou. According to the information from our spy, Big Bear said that Big Bear has made some gold coins to buy overseas. It is said that the number of gold coins has reached millions."

After hearing everyone's words, Cao Cao could not understand Lu Ning's style of conduct, and he couldn't figure out what Lu Ning was thinking. If Lu Ning had been in Bingzhou at that time, he would have indeed been robbed by the emperor and his ministers. As for making Lu Ning obedient, it would have been useless. Even if he did not obey the will, I would have no way to deal with him now. After all, his strength was too strong. The more Cao thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Cao Cao looked up at his subordinates and then said, "What are the good ways for you to suppress the development of Big Bear? We can't make him develop faster, otherwise it will cause us big trouble in the future."

After hearing this, Xun You shook his head and said, "Lord, this is too difficult. Lu Ning does not play according to the rules, and even dares to disobey the words of the late emperor. Now he will not be the only one of us. Based on my understanding of him, Lu Ning is not easy to fight a civil war. His lifelong wish is to eliminate the foreign tatars. This is difficult to consume his strength, but over the years, his army has been conquering foreign countries every day, and the strength is stronger and stronger. Now his north, far north, and far east are basically over. If it is possible, it is to let him fight west, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are separated from the west, and he cannot use troops."

After hearing this, Xun You nodded in agreement and then said, "Lord, we cannot get along with Lu Ning for the time being, let alone provoke him first. We must also find a way to improve our relationship with Lu Ning and plan for him when we have the ability to fight him."

Liu Fu said: "Yes, lord, Lu Ning's strength is indeed too strong now. Now all the merchants and people are secretly using Bingzhou's currency. The original five coins have basically lost their circulation value. Lu Ning can now be said to have actually controlled the currency flow. It is best for us to ask the emperor to order Lu Ning to hand over some money and grain to the court, even if it is the tax he paid."

After hearing this, Xun You said, "This is impossible. I only heard that Big Bear was plundering the court. I have never heard that Big Bear had sent anything to the court. I have never heard that Big Bear suffered any losses in his work. He talks about gains and losses in everything he does. He attaches great importance to money and grain. It is harder than climbing the sky to release his blood. It can be improved while improving his relationship with him, and then buy some strategic materials needed by our army, especially weapons and war horses. I heard that he has seized a large number of war horses in the past two years. If there are too many war horses, they are used to pull trucks for transportation. However, our army lacks a large number of war horses, otherwise our army's strength will be improved by a higher level."

Cao Hong said: "Lord, Gongda is right. We should buy more war horses, weapons, armor and other things from that boy Lu Ning. The things produced by this boy are indeed easy to use."

After hearing this, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Lu Ning produces something good, but we don't have money to buy it. He only collects gold and silver, and the things we make are nothing that can make him look at. As for asking him to send food and grass to the court for free, unless Lu Ning suddenly gets watered. Even if Lu Ning has a problem with his head, his advisers Guo Jia, Ju Su, Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Guan Ning and others are all wise and highly wise people, and they will stop it."

After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed and said, "Yes, if you want to get the war horses, weapons and equipment produced by Lu Ning, you have to have gold and silver. We are currently short of money and have nothing to exchange with him. If you want to improve your relationship with him, you originally wanted to give something, but we don't have a decent thing to take, so we have to send an influential person to preach, and that's all."

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao before he said carefully: "Lord, if you want to improve your relationship with Lu Ning, the best way is to marry him. In this way, you may get a large amount of supplies from him?"
