"Please come quickly."
Although he didn¡¯t know the reason, Wang Yun did not neglect and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Bo Zhe pays homage to Situ."
"You don't need to be polite, uncle. You and I are about the same age. Just call me by my first name." Wang Yun was very polite to Cai Yong. He had no choice but to let a great god stand behind Cai Yong.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled happily, and then Cai Yong was invited into the room by Wang Yun.
The two sat down and exchanged greetings for a while. Wang Yun couldn't help but asked Cai Yong the purpose of coming here.
"I wonder why Bo Zhe came here this time?"
Wang Yun was not pretending to be reserved. He was forced by Cao Cao to have no way out. Cai Yong must have something going on when he came to see him, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Cai Yong smiled slightly, touched his beard twice, and asked: "Now that the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, how much tax can the court collect now?"
Wang Yun suddenly became depressed. Isn¡¯t it nonsense for you to ask this? Officials from all over the country support their troops and pay taxes? What a fart.
But Wang Yun said: "Although it's not much, it's enough."
¡°It means that although not much was turned over, it was enough for the court to use.
"Is it true?" Cai Yong immediately saw that Wang Yun was telling lies, but he did not expose it.
"Of course." Wang Yun replied bravely, his expression unchanged. For people like him, lying is as easy as eating.
The imperial court could not collect taxes, and he, the Situ, was embarrassed, so he would rather lie than be laughed at.
"That's it," Cai Yong did not expose him, but said to himself: "My master is worried about the court, and he also wants to pay some taxes to the court. Since the court still exists, then he can only give up."
"Are you serious?" As soon as Cai Yong's words came out, Wang Yun's expression changed. He stood up suddenly, stared at Cai Yong closely, breathing rapidly, throwing away his usual calmness.
There is no way, Cai Yong¡¯s words are really shocking. And this is the life-saving straw that Wang Yun can grasp at present, so he can't help but be excited.
When Wang Yun fought with Cao Cao, why did he lose more and more as they fought? Did everyone around him surrender to Cao Cao one by one? Because Cao Cao had food and money, he controlled the court's supply.
¡° If you follow Wang Yun and have no food to eat, if you follow Cao Cao and have food to eat, even a child will know who to choose.
Wang Yun had nothing to do about it, so when Cai Yong said he was willing to pay taxes to the court, Wang Yun was excited.
Cai Yong was deliberately surprised and said: "Didn't Situ say that the imperial court still needs to pay taxes? There have been constant disasters in Youzhou in recent years, and the food harvest has been poor. Since there are taxes, there is no need to pay them. There are still many people in Youzhou who have no food to eat."
¡°Sir, Wang Yun cursed in his heart, who doesn¡¯t know that Youzhou is now the richest and fattest in the world? Do disasters continue? No food to eat? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?
At the same time, Wang Yun regretted in his heart. If he had known this before, he shouldn't have made a fool of himself and just said that the court was about to starve to death, wouldn't it have been better?
However, Wang Yun was able to sit in the position of Situ. He was not a mediocre person. After he was shocked and calmed down, he secretly thought about why Liu Zhe did this. However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply stopped thinking about it. , and at the same time, he thought of something to say.
Wang Yun looked heartbroken and said: "To be honest with you, the world is in chaos and the people are displaced. The emperor is also worried about the people and has always wanted to do something to help the people. However, there are not many taxes paid in various places, so he is really powerless."
Cai Yong felt funny after hearing this. He even gave an excuse to help the people.
Cai Yong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is truly benevolent and righteous. In this case, I will agree on behalf of my lord to hand it over to the court every month. I hope Situ will pay more attention to this matter."
Cai Yong did not delay, but agreed directly. Anyway, the matter has been decided.
"Really?" Wang Yun was overjoyed. He was still thinking about what excuses he would use if Cai Yong didn't agree.
Cai Yong agreed immediately, and his words meant that he would be the one to preside over the matter, which made him overjoyed.
With the taxes paid by Youzhou, he would have the confidence to continue fighting with Cao Cao.
Even if Cao Cao moves the capital, he can still gain a foothold in the court and continue to fight against Cao Cao.
So Wang Yun has decided not to stop Cao Cao from moving the capital, because there is nothing he can do to stop it anyway.
"Uncle, I hope this news will be kept secret for the time being." Wang Yun bowed his hands to Cai Yong and said in return. His tone was very polite. After all, he wanted to hide this information.This news will give Cao Cao a big surprise at the critical moment.
Cai Yong naturally agreed. After all, the original purpose of paying taxes to the court was to allow Wang Yun to continue to have the strength to fight against Cao Cao and involve Cao Cao's energy.
After the two discussed it carefully, Cai Yong said goodbye and left.
?¡
Two days later, Cao Cao stood on the city wall, frowning as he watched Cai Yong and his party go away.
Liu Zhe sent Cai Yong as an envoy to see the emperor, which Cao Cao did not expect. He was very wary of Cai Yong and his entourage, but there was nothing he could do. Liu Zhe was too sharp, and Yuan Shao was actually destroyed by him in a short period of time.
Cao Cao considered himself weaker than Yuan Shaolai. When he heard that Yuan Shao was destroyed, he was deeply shocked. He even thought that Liu Zhe would continue to send troops to attack Yanzhou.
However, Liu Zhe later sent Cai Yong to see the emperor, sending a signal to the court to let the world know that he respected the emperor and would not become a traitor. However, in Cao Cao's view, Liu Zhe was showing weakness by this behavior, and he suspected that Liu Zhe must have some conspiracy.
Therefore, Cao Cao's heart was alarmed. He remembered that Yuan Shao fell into a trap because of Liu Zhe's two designs before. So on the one hand, Cao Cao deployed heavy troops in the Yellow River area to prevent Liu Zhe from sneak attacks. On the other hand, he planned to move the capital to avoid Liu Zhe's edge.
The seat of Yanzhou is Changyi, which is close to the Yellow River. Once Liu Zhe is allowed to go ashore, Changyi will be undefeated.
After Cai Yong came to Yanzhou, he brought three thousand soldiers and horses. Cao Cao was so frightened that he sent people to guard him day and night. Whatever these soldiers did, they had to report immediately. Liu Zhe's men were too powerful. Three thousand soldiers and horses were enough to capture Changyi.
So while Cai Yong was in Yanzhou, Cao Cao had been sleeping unsteadily, which made him mentally weak and his brain swollen to the point of splitting
