446 Cao Cao seeks princes 2
After hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Zhongde, although what you said is reasonable, I don't have a daughter of the right age. This marriage cannot be implemented at present."
Cheng Yu said: "Lord, why not ask for your own biological daughter? Just find a beautiful woman."
After hearing this, Dong Zhao shook his head and said, "Lord, if you find a famous woman casually, it would be better not to do it. Instead, you will be laughed at by that boy Lu Ning. Lu Ning's wives are all beautiful women, and they are very talented and not vases. His army is constantly fighting outside. Every year, a large number of beautiful women are captured. The generals who fought all sent the beautiful women to Bingzhou, and Lu Ning gave them all to his civil and military officials. I have never heard of Lu Ning's lustfulness. There are too many beautiful women Lu Ning sees too many beautiful women. If the woman sent to the woman does not have particularly outstanding talents, or does not attract Lu Ning, it will be a waste of work. Maybe he will transfer them to his subordinates. Where will the face of the lord be?"
After hearing this, Liu Ye said, "Lord, Gongren is right. If there is no suitable woman, you cannot do this. Lu Ning can do anything. He often does not follow the rules. If he really transfers the woman in the marriage to others, this joke will be a big deal."
After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, it's hard for Lu Ning to understand. He doesn't take laws, court systems, customs, etiquettes seriously. If you want him to be moved, you must have something to attract him, but we have nothing to attract him at the moment. What he values most is land and population, but we also need these two things. Now we can only organize some raw materials to sell them to him, and then buy war horses, weapons and other war materials from him after returning his currency."
Xun You thought for a while and said, "Lord, there is another plan to seize the princes."
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up and immediately asked, "What is Gongda's plan? Tell it out quickly."
Xun You smiled and said, "Lord, the emperor has moved to Xuchang, which is the imperial capital and Kyoto. We can let the emperor issue an order to let the princes in the world come to Xuchang to worship the emperor. As long as they arrive in Xuchang, we have the final say. We will detain them all, or let their children serve as hostages for exchange, so that we will be easier to control the princes in all sides. If there are princes who dare not come to worship, we will let the emperor issue an order to promote the righteous army to attack."
After hearing this, Cao Cao burst into laughter and said happily: "Gongda's plan is very good. I wonder if that kid Lu Ning will come? If he could trick him into Xuchang, it would be perfect."
Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lord, this plan is possible, but this plan is useless to Lu Ning. On the one hand, this plan cannot deceive Lu Ning's advisers; on the other hand, Lu Ning never takes the emperor and court seriously, so he will come to worship the emperor.
Dong Zhao said: "Although we can't deceive Lu Ning, we still have to send famous officials and influential celebrities to improve friendly relations with Lu Ning. Moreover, the people we send must meet Lu Ning himself, otherwise it is unlikely that they will meet Lu Ning even if they go."
After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Gongren is right, but who should I go to see Lu Ning?"
Cao Cao's words made his civil and military officials think that he was not sure to see Lu Ning. This person is completely a weird person. He dares to scold him, but he values famous scholars and talented people. He doesn't even call on him to insult him outside, nor does he care about others' opinions about him.
After a long time, no one dared to take on this position. No one was confident, nor was there any confidence to meet Lu Ning. Xun Yu looked at everyone and had to say, "Lord, Guo Fengxiao, the chief of staff under Lu Ning, is a long time friend. I think that with Fengxiao's status, as long as he comes forward, I should be able to meet Lu Ning. Besides, I really want to see this scandal flying all over the world. What kind of person is Lu Ning who has all the versions. I have never figured out that a person who can't read a big word can actually deal with Guo Jia, Guan Ning and other famous scholars and great scholars in the world, and make them devote themselves to his life."
Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu and shook his head and said, "Wenruo, can you go? What if you were detained by that boy Lu Ning? I can't live without you here. Gongda was almost detained last time. If you go again this time, maybe that boy Lu Ning is really good at doing such a thing."
After hearing this, Xun Yu laughed, looked up at Lao Cao, and then said, "Don't worry, lord, although Lu Ning dares to do anything and is bold and reckless, as far as I know, he never raises idle staff. If he detains me, then I have to be willing to do things for him. He will never support me. Besides, with the relationship between filial piety, Lu Ning will not do this to me, otherwise his subordinates will be disloyal and lose the trust of his subordinates. If he really detains me, then what's wrong with sacrificing me to achieve his lord's great cause."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Wenruo, when you go to Big Bear this time, you have to find a way to buy more war horses. Our army lacks war horses, otherwise our army's strength will improve. Although the war horses sold to us by Big Bear are all dying, and they are all medium and inferior horses, but they are still better than nothing."
Cao Ang said: "Yes, this kid Lu Ning has horses everywhere in his jurisdiction, but he doesn't sell them to us. Even if they sell them, they will be high prices. They will be slaughtered hard. Moreover, they are second-rate war horses, and he won't buy really good war horses at all."
Cao Ren smiled and said, "It's good for Big Bear to sell some war horses, weapons, armor, bows and arrows to us. I heard that other princes also want to buy Big Bear's war horses and equipment, but Big Bear doesn't sell it. Otherwise, once Big Bear is sold to other princes, it will cause trouble for our army in the future."
After hearing this, Xun Yu said helplessly: "We don't have much money, we can only exchange materials with Lu Ning. Now we don't know what our materials are. Don't have too much hope, I can only do my best."
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun said, "Wenruo, you have such a good relationship with Guo Jia. If Guo Jia helps you clear it up, you should be able to tell the price. Guo Jia is an important figure in Big Bear. Big Bear will still listen to what he said."
After hearing this, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Zi Lian, this is impossible. Guo Fengxiao has a good relationship with me, but now everyone is their own master. He only considers the gains and losses for Lu Ning, so how can we deal with our difficulties? Besides, Guo Fengxiao's character will not do such things, otherwise he would not be Guo Fengxiao."
Cao Cao said: "You can't make things difficult for Wenruo. Just try your best. After all, we don't have much money. Besides, Lu Ning is a person who is tempted by money. How could they do things that are at a disadvantage? For many years, I have only heard that Lu Ning is calculating others, but I have never heard of anyone calculating Lu Ning. It's just Wenruo, after you arrive in Bingzhou, you must find a way to learn more about Lu Ning's situation, especially for his military power. It would be even better if you can understand what Lu Ning thinks clearly. Wenruo has the full authority to deal with other aspects, as long as it is beneficial to us."
Xun Yu immediately replied: "It's lord, I will do my best."
