Xun Yu figured it out, so the matter was completely resolved. Under the leadership of Liu Xie, Xu Huang led the forbidden army back to the palace.

The incident ended with a lot of thunder and rain, and the people who had been terrified all night, seeing that there was no big war happening, thought it was just some small incident, and put it behind them.

But with such a big commotion, can Hua Xin remain unmoved?

After returning from Chaotang, Hua Xin immediately found the Sky Eye personnel lurking in Xuchang, and sent back Cao Cao's request.

Now that such a big movement is happening, there must be something wrong with Cao Cao.

But depending on the situation, it should be suppressed.

Then continue to wait, maybe Cao Cao's request will change.

Hua Xin, who was still in a hurry, caught the news keenly.

That being the case, then waiting is the best choice.

Hua Xin chose to wait for Cao Cao to come to the door, and Cao Cao was not in the mood to manage the matter at this time.

He wants to tidy up the interior with Liu Xie, so as to avoid problems in surrendering when they get it, which will affect the safe and smooth handover, resulting in a situation that he does not want to see in the end.

After experiencing this incident, Xuchang seemed to be calm, but in fact it was turbulent.

Many ministers were promoted secretly and cleared out of the court, far away from the center of power.

Many people thought it was Cao Cao who wanted to force Liu Xie to Zen.

But in fact, it is the result of their discussions between the monarch and his ministers.

Although Liu Xie advocated surrender, he was the king of a country after all. If he took the lead in intentionally initiating surrender, he might be cast aside by the world, and he would leave a stain on the history books that will never be erased.

Just like Liu Chan in later generations, the phrase "I am so happy to miss Shu" has become an interesting thing that people all over the world often talk about after dinner.

So Cao Cao would rather that he bear this infamy, which is the last meager effort he can do as a Hanchen.

In just half a month, Cao Cao didn't seem to take the initiative at all. Hua Xin, who received the reply, was the first to sit still.

Instructions from Li Huiyi gave a clear answer that the Han Dynasty can guarantee that they will be safe and sound.

As for Liu Xie's appointment as marquis, Li Huiyi also agreed, and let Hua Xin decide the rest of the matter.

The only thing I can tell you is that no matter what, the military power must be in your hands.

With such favorable conditions, Hua Xin believes that as long as he tells Cao Cao, it will be easy to get things done.

Since there is no need to bargain, there is no point in spending it. Hua Xin decided to go to Cao's mansion in person, hoping to settle the matter as soon as possible.

When Hua Xin came to visit, Cao Cao was overjoyed. Knowing that Liu Xie's appointment as marquis had been completed, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet and went to greet him in person.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Ziyu is here, but what's the matter, if not, I'll have a few drinks later."

Cao Cao greeted them from a distance, with a polite look, who didn't know, thought they were friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Courtesy is reciprocal, Cao Cao is so polite, Hua Xin naturally will not deliberately pretend.

"Prime Minister, you are being polite. Ziyu came here to talk about what happened a few days ago..."

Before Hua Xin finished speaking, Cao Cao interrupted directly, stepped forward to pick him up, and dragged Hua Xin into the mansion.

The two of them had just arrived in the lobby, and the banquet had already been prepared. Hua Xin was not allowed to say more, so Cao Cao arranged him a seat before returning to the main seat.

Hua Xin couldn't figure out Cao Cao's behavior for a while, so he could only drink with him absent-mindedly.

After drinking for three rounds, Hua Xin took the initiative to say: "Prime Minister, the general has already replied to your majesty's appointment."

"Oh." Cao Cao put down his wine glass and asked slowly, "How did Hui Yi answer, did you agree?"

There was a reply so soon, and Cao Cao was even more determined.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance like this, Hua Xin was shocked, knowing that he was at a disadvantage, but there was nothing he could do.

Hua Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the Prime Minister can discuss it with His Majesty, otherwise the matter will be delayed for too long, and I'm afraid it will change."

Since Cao Cao wanted to use this as a threat, Hua Xin also reminded him that he would accept it as soon as he was happy.

But would Cao Cao be frightened? It was obviously impossible.

"This..." Cao Cao wondered, "Ziyu, you don't know something, and you also want to know the truth, but His Majesty suddenly changed his mind, fearing that after a hundred years of surrender, he would have no face to see the late emperor."

It was obviously perfunctory, how could Hua Xin not know.

With a face twitching, Hua Xin said angrily, "Prime Minister, it's fine to tease Ziyu like this, but General, I'm afraid I won't let it go."

"In case of anger and reckless attack, I am afraid that the matter of sealing the marquis will also be shattered."

Li Huiyi was a human being, and Cao Cao knew very well that it was Hua Xin's threat, so he didn't move at all, and only pushed everything on Liu Xie.

Helpless, Hua Xin could only ask unwillingly: "Tell me, what the prime minister wants, as long as Xin can make the decision, everything will be fine."

It would have been better if it had been like this earlier, and I was still talking about it for a long time.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Actually, what Ziyu said is also true. There is nothing wrong with the truth alone, but there are many people under his command. If Ziyu can find a way out for them, the truth is willing to convince His Majesty."

It turned out that he wanted to find a way out for the Cao family, so he thought it was a big deal.

Hua Xin relaxed her nervousness, and said with a smile, "This is easy to handle. All the people under the Prime Minister's command, those who are capable can become county officials, and those who are incompetent can become merchants. Prime Minister, do you think you are satisfied?"

There was a reason why Hua Xin was so happy. Li Huiyi had already begun to issue a new policy. The civilian officials were in charge of political affairs, and the military officials were only in charge of commanding the army.

No matter how big the official positions are, the two cannot interfere with each other. Once someone crosses the line, there will only be one result, and they will fight to the end.

Li Huiyi was well-known in the north for his words and actions, and when the New Deal was implemented, naturally no one would defy the law.

So the news didn't spread, and Cao Cao didn't know, which is also reasonable.

Hearing that he can be an official and a businessman, Cao Cao is still very satisfied. This is already the best result.

As for what kind of achievements they will achieve in the future, that is their own business.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Is this really true?"

Hua Xin nodded and said, "Really, the prime minister can rest assured, the general can still remember the kindness of the prime minister's recommendation back then."

Bringing up the past again, Cao Cao had a little recollection, no doubt about him, and agreed without hesitation.

But it took three months to prepare. During these three months, Cao Cao had to prepare a few more ways out.

Smart people don't put all their eggs in one basket, let alone a traitor like Cao Cao.
