Chapter 651

"Haha! Gongda, you understand Mengde very well!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly upon hearing this, "That's right! Old Cao is clearly wary of me, worried that if he uses flooding and causes a large number of common people to die or be injured, I will intervene or deal with him in advance!"

"He understands me very well! If he really did that, I would really destroy him in advance!"

"At the same time, I would also be very disappointed in him!"

This kind of unscrupulous Cao Mengde is not the Cao Mengde I want.

If Cao Cao really became like that, I wouldn't be able to forgive him or reuse him in the future.

Being a person! At least there must be a bottom line.

Some bottom lines cannot be touched.

At least, like the Wei Wu Cao Cao in history from my previous life, he was a figure with mixed reputations, and also a figure I could not accept.

Slaughtering cities, flooding Xiapi—these are all too evil!

Not only the Cao Cao of the previous life, but I also cannot tolerate the special dried meat made by Cheng Yu in the previous life.

Fortunately, the Cheng Yu of this world sought refuge with me early on, and he didn't need to use this extreme way to prepare "grain and fodder," so Cheng Yu didn't go down this road of no return.

"So, is the Lord prepared to agree to Chen Deng and the others' suggestions and change the plan?"

Seeing Xun You You couldn't help but ask with a smile.

He likes this about his Lord.

He has a bottom line in doing things.

This is better than anything else.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively, "Naturally! Otherwise, Mengde might really go down the road of flooding Xiapi!"

"The common people of Xuzhou will also be my common people in the future; I cannot sit idly by and watch them be submerged by flooding and sacrifice innocently!"

"Anyway, it's just letting Mengde take Xuzhou a few months earlier and lose a little less troops and money; it's not a big problem!"

"It just so happens that I also feel his strength is a bit weak, and his grain and fodder are not enough; it would be too difficult to deal with Yuan Shao later!"

"Now it's more balanced!"

Of course, even so, Cao Cao's strength and foundation are still far inferior to Yuan Shao's.

"Four generations and three dukes" is not just a name!

It brought Yuan Shao too many benefits and foundation!

But at least it can narrow the gap and let Old Cao win more easily.

However, if Cao Cao really loses to Yuan Shao, Su Xuan feels it is not unacceptable.

At that time, he wouldn't even have to face Cao Cao; he would directly fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao and clean him up.

It's just that he would definitely mock Old Cao properly at that time.

"That would also be good!"

Seeing Xun You You, Xi Zhicai, and the others all nodded in agreement.

Su Xuan didn't delay and immediately wrote a letter to Jia San to send to Jia Shisan and the others with a golden eagle.

After just over an hour,

Jia Shisan received the letter and opened it; he was overjoyed, "Great! The Lord has agreed! These tasks will be much simpler!"

"However, the Dark Guard's activities in Xuzhou will have to be more low-key and hidden deeper!"

"Fortunately, in the past few months, with the help of the Chen clan, most of our Xuzhou Dark Guard businesses have been changed and hung under the name of the Chen clan, so there is no need to worry about Cao Cao searching!"

Thinking this, Jia Shisan immediately came to the Chen Mansion, found Chen Deng, and informed Chen Deng of Su Xuan's decision.

"Phew!"

Chen Deng also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! That's good! Cao Cao has already sent someone to contact me! I was just worrying about how to respond!"

"I could only delay it temporarily; now it's good, I can agree to him with peace of mind!"

"However, should we send someone to contact the Marquis of Wen and arrange for their people to withdraw in time?"

"At the very least, the Marquis of Wen's family should be arranged to withdraw in advance, don't you think, Brother Shisan?"

After all, Lu Bu's relationship with Su Xuan is there; if they don't tell Lu Bu this time, leading to his family suffering and his strength being greatly damaged later, it's possible that Lu Bu will settle scores with them in the future!

Thinking of what Jia Shisan said about the relationship between Lu Bu's daughter, Lu spiritual energy, and the Lord, Chen Deng feels it is better to be safe.

"Hmm!"

Jia Shisan nodded affirmatively, "This is indeed very necessary! Don't worry about it; leave it to me!"

"I will arrange it!"

"Good!"

Chen Deng nodded with satisfaction; this is the best way.

He is not familiar with Lu Bu and dare not contact him at will, lest he be chopped by him.

Afterward, Chen Deng sent someone to find Cao Cao's envoy who was resting in the mansion and stated his intention, indicating that he was willing to cooperate with Cao Cao's people to seize Xiapi City.

Cao Cao's envoy, Chen Qun, was overjoyed, "Brother Yuanlong, you are truly wise and righteous! I believe you won't regret today's choice!"

"I hope so!"

Chen Deng shook his head helplessly, "If possible, I don't want to stab Lord Xuande in the back; after all, Lord Xuande is a good person and treats me well;"
