Fuji [Four Beauties]

Song Ci paused, and said: "You must have thought of it. The first one is Mr. Xun. I have said many times that he can be trusted and will never harm you. But for now, he will leave It is still the route of relying on Cao Cao to save the Han Dynasty. Because he believes that among the princes today, only Cao Cao is the one who can do great things. So he voted for Cao Cao without hesitation. If you have a conflict with Cao Cao , He is mostly mediating in the middle, and will not let you touch Cao Cao, and he will not let Cao Cao touch you. In this way, you should be able to understand his position."

"People like Mr. Xun have always been determined. Once he decides something, it is difficult to change. You want him to give up Cao Cao and help you instead. Then you have to let him see that you This is the hope that can save your Han family. If you don’t do this, even if you kneel in front of him and kowtow until your head is bleeding, he will not change. It can be said that Mr. Xun is the one who turned the situation around. The key. If you want to turn the tide, it is absolutely impossible not to get his heartfelt approval and support."

"So, you have to let him see you Liu Xie, not the symbol of the Great Han Emperor. Let him recognize you as a person, your determination, and your potential, and then change his attitude to assist you. Mr. Xun is the most important thing If you can impress him, then he will naturally plan everything for you. He will manage the state affairs, he will. Introduce talents, he will. Make suggestions, he will. With his help, you can break the initial deadlock , to win some chances of a comeback.”

"Besides, starting from him is also the method with the lowest risk. Because, even if you tell your true thoughts. Even at the extreme point, you tell him directly that you want to kill Cao Cao, Mr. Xun will not Tell Cao Cao what you think. Of course, he will find a way to prevent you from doing it."

"In other words, only with his help can there be room for small tricks. Otherwise, even if you do something, you won't be able to escape his eyes. It's very difficult to make trouble under his nose." It's too big. Not to mention tightrope walking, sowing discord, making Cao Ren, Yang Feng and others fight each other and profiting from it. I'm afraid this kind of thing will be discovered and suppressed by him before it even has a chance."

"Although it sounds exaggerated, this is what talents like Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Fan Li, and Guan Zhong can do. Look at Duke Huan of Qi. He entrusted everything to Guan Zhong and relied on Guan Zhong for everything. In the end, He has achieved hegemony. If you want to succeed, you will definitely not be able to do without such a talent. Well, that’s all for now, think about it.”

Song Ci said so much in a row, which contained a lot of information, which made Liu Xie a little dazed.He tried hard to remember what Song Ci said, so that he could go back and study it carefully.Looking at his childish face, Song Ci felt a little sad again.It is a great misfortune to have to deal with these things at such a young age and be forced to grow up rapidly by the situation.

After Song Ci finished speaking, Liu Xie did not laugh and laugh as usual, but solemnly saluted Song Ci to thank him.He is not a very dull person, on the contrary, in many ways, he is very observant.Given his current situation, Song Ci still dares and is willing to tell him these things.The meaning contained in it cannot be clearly expressed in a sentence or two.

In Song Ci's case, she was also very contradictory. Of course, she could understand Liu Xie's reluctance to give up and struggle.But understanding is understanding, reality cannot be ignored.The reality is cruel, if Liu Xie's ability cannot match his ambition.Then his struggle will not only fail to save the big man and himself, but will also add countless pains to him and bring about a catastrophe.

This is very similar to a short story told by a writer Song Ci likes very much:

A group of people were locked in a sealed house, absolutely unable to escape, only to be suffocated to death inside.One person woke up, and he faced two choices, one was to wake them up, and the other was to let them die unknowingly.

What should that person do?

Wake them up?Then let them bear, watching themselves alive, the fear and pain of losing their lives little by little.Won't you wake them up?Then they didn't even have the qualifications to know the truth of the matter, so they died in a daze and in a daze.

Which is right and which is wrong, how to choose?This is really a difficult question.

The situation Song Ci faced was similar to this.If she encourages Liu Xie to struggle and resist, it will be tantamount to waking him up.If Song Ci let it go, it would be tantamount to watching Liu Xie lose his own world little by little.Either way is cruel, which makes Song Ci very hesitant.

If Liu Xie was a foolish and hopeless person, then Song Ci's psychological burden would definitely not be so great.It doesn't seem to be a bad thing to be a Duke of Shanyang who can at least die well despite being controlled by others.But Liu Xie is not. He knows his own situation and the situation of the big man. He still wants to struggle and save.Moreover, he seems to still have some hope, and he himself seems to have some ability to realize his wishes.

It was this hope and ability that made Song Ci feel conflicted.Liu Xie relied on and trusted himself again and again.This kind of trust and dependence made it impossible for Song Ci to maintain himself. He had always maintained a neutral position outside the forces of all parties, and repeatedly said things that should not be said.

These words are tantamount to encouraging and supporting Liu Xie.If it was because of his encouragement and support, Liu Xie had strengthened his determination.He rose up to resist and struggle, but in the end he ended up in a crushing defeat. How could Song Ci feel so bad?

All kinds of emotions like this make it really difficult for Song Ci to judge.Even Song Ci herself didn't realize that the reason why she had these emotions was because her emotions had been biased towards Liu Xie.Before he knew it, this young man who used to lie alone on the haystack had entered Song Ci's life.It is no longer just a character recorded in the history books, no longer just a character who can stand by and watch.

To help or not to help, it is really difficult for Song Ci to decide.

Liu Xie was unaware of Song Ci's hesitation and struggle.After he went back, he dug out the few ancient books that remained after traveling around.He kept looking it up, forgetting to eat and sleep all night long.If there is something you don't understand, you should ask an official who specializes in such books for advice.Liu Xie knows his biggest flaw now, as Song Ci said before, he lacks sufficient ability.

Now that tigers and leopards are in power and wolves are everywhere, if he really wants to make a difference, if he is still so ignorant and weak, it will be like a moth to a flame.What sister said was indeed a problem he had to face.Whether these difficult problems can be solved must depend on himself.If he asks for help in everything, then he is still a puppet walking around.Wanting others to see his potential and really work for him is just a joke.

You must make a change, make a difference, and let others look at you with admiration.The most important problem he faces now is how to make Mr. Xun see and recognize himself as the elder sister said.If he can't solve this problem, then he doesn't have to think about anything else.Liu Xie made up his mind, no matter what, he must come up with a solution.For this reason, he rummaged through the ancient books without sleep, trying to find some clues from the predecessors.

This search took ten days.

These days, Liu Xie is not idle, and neither are the others.In other words, in this era of vying for the throne, no one who wants to get a share of the pie is idle.At least, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are the two most restless.

After taking Yanzhou, Lu Bu pursued Cao Cao's family relentlessly.He sent people to surround Dong'a tightly, vowing to capture Cao Cao's family members.Fortunately, Xia Houdun led his army to arrive in time and fought desperately with Lu Bu's army.Lu Bu's army was defeated and could only retreat.Xia Houdun joined Cao Ang, Cheng Yu and others in one place, and defended the city.

On Cao Cao's side, his current situation is also very passive.Tao Qian in the east seized his father and brothers, and Lu Bu in the west stared at his family.If Lv Bu and Tao Qian colluded together, join forces in one place, or attack from both sides at the same time.Then he will be attacked on both sides, and he will not care about each other. I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk away.Not only that, Tao Qian and Element hooked up again.With such a rare opportunity, Yuan Shu, who has always been domineering in Yangzhou, is ready to move, and has the intention of sending troops to take advantage of the fire.

In all fairness, Cao Cao's current situation is really not good.At present, there are roughly three forces in Cao Cao's camp.The first group is the military generals faction who hold military power, mainly composed of Cao Cao's hometown of Peiguo Qiao County, the Xiahou family and the Cao family.The second group is the civil official faction headed by Xun Yu and dominated by scholars from Yingchuan and Runan.The third group is the Yanzhou faction, which is dominated by the local forces in Yanzhou occupied by Cao Cao. The representatives of this group are Chen Gong and others.

Today, the generals are still under the control of Cao Cao.Among the civil servants, except for a few who went out with Cao Cao, the others either stayed in Yanzhou or Xudu.These people are important helpers for Cao Cao's advice.Now that Yanzhou has been captured, Cao Cao himself is not sure about the attitude of these people.As for the Yanzhou faction, it goes without saying.If it weren't for them, why would Cao Cao end up in a situation where the backyard was on fire and faced enemies on both sides?

Fortunately, Cao Cao still has most of the elite troops in his hands.With them in hand, everything can be redeemed.

Cao Cao's embarrassing situation also greatly affected the situation in Xudu.Xudu has little food and soldiers, and the people left behind by Cao Cao can be regarded as new arrivals, and their foundation in Xudu is not stable.The biggest problem they are currently facing is to stabilize Xudu and keep the city.

No matter what to do, the first thing to solve is the problem of food and grass.Cao Ren had been marching and fighting for more than a day or two. Of course he knew the importance of food and grass.After the supply line was cut off, Xudu's food would not last long.If there is no food to eat, even if Cao Ren has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to suppress the restlessness and panic of the soldiers.

Xu Du's weakness was precisely controlled by Yang Feng and others.Everyone knows the importance of food when they come out to play these days.Now it is hopeless to count on Yanzhou, and Xu Du can only count on him to promote his military general Yang Feng.

So, Yang Feng took his army and marched in the direction of Xudu.Judging by his flamboyant appearance, it seems that he has completely forgotten to avoid suspicion, and he is not afraid that others will doubt his loyalty.

When Yang Feng's troops approached Xudu, Liu Xie was at Song Ci's place.After many days of searching for reference and thinking hard, he finally came up with a method he thought was feasible.Communicating with Song Ci.

"Sister, I think that in order to solve the problem raised by sister, we must start from three aspects." Liu Xie said confidently.

Song Ci didn't expect Liu Xie to come up with the answer so quickly, and immediately asked, "Which three?"
