Chapter 20 Hunting with Cao Cao (2)

When Li Zhi and the others heard this burst of laughter, they all turned their heads towards the laughing person.

I saw Cao Cao riding a horse, carrying a small deer on his back, turning over from the mountain col on one side.

Cao Cao drove his horse and trotted towards them while laughing.

When Xing reached them, Cao Cao stopped laughing.

Looking at Li Zhi with a smile on his face, he said: "Cao Cao originally thought that Xing Zhixian was nearly eight feet tall and burly, and must be versatile in both civil and military affairs. I didn't want to..."

At this point, he laughed again.

But Cao Cao was just far away and saw Li Zhi shooting arrows, so he made fun of him.

Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed by what he said, smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject.

"Brother Meng De invited me here not just for hunting, right? But there are other things you want to tell me?"

"This place is covered with dense forests and is deserted. Brother Meng De can just say whatever he wants."

Cao Cao glanced at him appreciatively and said, "Xing Zhixiong's ability to observe words and emotions, Cao Cao admires him endlessly."

"It's not his fault, it's just that yesterday when we were drinking, we did what the wise brother said."

"Set up an ambush to kill the eunuch?" Li Zhi asked.

"ran"

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, then walked forward slowly.

As he walked, he said: "The plan devised by Fengxiao Xiandi that day was to lure Cao Jie out of the palace. After Cao Jie left the palace, he would raise all his troops and kill him."

"Cao Jie is now in control of both the government and the public. When he is very satisfied with his ambitions, he will definitely not think that anyone would dare to assassinate him."

"By then, if you are ready to kill and unprepared, the matter will be successful."

"After all, no one would have thought that someone would dare to commit murder in front of the palace. This is all under the lamp."

"This plan is very mysterious!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao first said affirmatively, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long time, I knew that "the policy of serving a filial brother is a good policy, but there is a flaw in this policy."

"Oh? What's the flaw?" Guo Jia interjected and asked.

"That's why Cao Jie left the palace? Even if he left the palace, Cao Jie would be protected by a large group of guards when he left the palace on weekdays. How could we ambush him?"

When Li Zhi heard what Cao Cao said, he smiled slightly and said, "Brother Meng De thought it through."

"That day after Brother Fengxiao told me this plan, Zhi also thought of this."

"When I was thinking about this plan the day before yesterday, I racked my brains and thought of a person. If this person helps, this matter will definitely succeed!"

"Oh? Who is the good brother Xingzhi talking about?"

Speaking of which, Cao Cao

His face was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"hehe"

Li Zhi chuckled lightly.

"This person is none other than one of the Ten Constant Attendants... Zhang Rang!"

As soon as Li Zhi said the person's name, Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Li Zhi in disbelief. Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Zhi with admiration on his face.

Cao Cao was shocked and said: "Dear brother, could it be that you were still sober after drinking yesterday?"

"Zhang Rang is a eunuch who is collaborating with Cao Jie. Will he help us?"

Li Zhi smiled confidently and said to Cao Cao

"Brother Meng De...don't you hear that...people who work together are like enemies? It is true that Zhang Rang is one of the ten permanent attendants, but he is only one of them, not the leader!"

"However, His Majesty currently favors Cao Jie. If Cao Jie had not died, how would he have the chance to sit on the throne of the top ten servants? Does he have no ambition?"

"If Cao Jie dies, Zhang Rang will be the head of the ten permanent servants, and there is no one in the world who cannot be exploited. What can he do if he cooperates with Zhang Rang to eliminate the eunuch's troubles?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he remained silent for a long time and looked at Li Zhi with complicated eyes.

After he was silent for a while, he asked Li Zhi again: "Zhang Rang is also a eunuch. If he becomes the head of the ten permanent servants by then, but he is still like Cao Jie, intending to bring harm to the world, wouldn't he be rejecting the wolf first and advancing to the tiger later?

"

When Li Zhi heard what he said, he remained silent for a long time and then shook his head.

"There is no solution to this matter. His Majesty relied on eunuchs to secure his throne. It is human nature to favor and trust eunuchs."

"So no matter who is the leader of the Ten Constant Attendants, he may bring disaster to the world. We can only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall to prevent the big man from rolling off the cliff."

Having said this, he sighed heavily and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty?...Your Majesty...!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he first called out "Your Majesty" twice, then opened his mouth, but stopped when he wanted to speak. Then he clenched his teeth, his eyes were on fire, and his fists were clenched.

"well…!"

After a long time, Cao Cao seemed to be discouraged, sighed heavily, and stopped talking.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Guo Jia silently picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine. He glanced in the direction of Luoyang City with disdain and did not want to say anything more.

Just when the three of them were silent.

Xun's voice came from the distance: "Why don't you three go hunting? What are you doing here?"

I saw Xun and Xi Zhicai walking side by side in the distance.

Xun held a pheasant in his hand, but Xi Zhicai had nothing in his hand. Apparently he had not caught any prey.

After the two of them came over and stood still.

Li Zhi then asked Xun Bian

"Brother Wen Ruo, you were waiting in Yang Mansion yesterday to discuss the removal of eunuchs. What was the result?"

Hearing this, Xun shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said, "Nothing has come of it. Yesterday they only drank and had fun. As for the matter of killing the eunuchs... they didn't say a word. How could there be any results?"

"That's how he is every day, nothing to make a fuss about."

Cao Cao interjected at this time: "If Wen Ruo asks them to talk about romance, they will be able to explain it clearly, but the strategy..."

Having said this, Cao Cao sneered, his face full of disdain, and said no more words.

Xun sighed and remained silent for a while.

"That's all, let him do whatever he wants."

"Yang Gong invited him to a banquet, not to ask him to make suggestions."

"It's just that I want to use the power of his family to collect evidence of the eunuchs' relatives and disciples to bring harm to the world."

"This goal was achieved yesterday, and there is nothing else to say."

When Xun said this, he looked a little decadent and remained silent.

However, Xun was a man of firm will, and even a mere setback could not defeat him, so he was depressed for a while and then regained his spirit.

Li Zhi knew: "When will the wine for the journey be delivered?"

"It will be used in a few days, so don't waste the time."

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this and said: "The day before yesterday, I sent my servant back to Guojiacun to get some wine. Today must be coming soon. Brother Wen Ruo, don't worry."

Cao Cao was confused when he heard this, so he asked, "Why are you using wine when you are waiting to get rid of the thieves? Is it because you want to make an alliance with blood?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

At this time, Xi Zhicai explained to him: "This matter is brother Xing's plan. At this time, the forces in the DPRK have been controlled by Cao Jie."

"There are many party members. If he is in the court, even if we have collected all the evidence, I am afraid there will be nothing we can do against him."

Having said this, Xi Zhi chuckled lightly

"Brother Meng De drank the wine brewed by Brother Xing yesterday, and he must know that this wine is delicious."

"If brother Xing sells wine in Luoyang, he will definitely make this wine famous."

"Your Majesty loves wine nowadays. If you smell this wine, you will definitely salivate."

"At that time, Wen Ruo and others can enter the palace in the name of offering wine, and present the evidence of Cao Jie and others' crimes to Your Majesty. The second thief will surely be killed!"
