Cai Ji had encountered a similar situation many years ago. At that time, she believed that she could foresee the future, believing that she could reverse the trajectory of history by only taking action at a critical moment. After learning that the Battle of Wancheng was about to start, Cai Ji weighed the pros and cons and decided to rescue Cao Cao's father and son. Under her repeated reminders, Cao Cao finally noticed the conspiracy of Zhang Xiu and others, and the battle of Wancheng was completely out of the historical trajectory. It's just that night, Cai Ji himself was almost buried under the raging war in Wancheng. The battle of Wancheng made Cai Ji see Cao Cao's insidiousness, and at the same time made her understand that the change of history is a double-edged sword, which can not only achieve her ambitions, but also take her life. So when faced with the question of whether to save Cao Cao again, Cai Ji decided to listen to the opinion of the world's number one poisoner.

In the face of Cai Ji's inquiry, Jia Xu did not answer directly, but looked at the woman in front of him and asked word by word, "It depends on what the Lord wants?" Is it in charge of the court? Or dominate Hebei? ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Cai Ji flicked his long sleeves and said respectfully to Jia Xu. The other people present also turned their eyes to Jia Xu.

In response to everyone's scorching gaze, Jia Xu still maintained an unhurried attitude and analyzed to Cai Ji, "If the Lord intends to take charge of the court. can send troops without contribution, sit back and watch Yuan Shao destroy Cao, or simply send troops to the official crossing, and take Cao Cao's head in the chaotic army. As soon as Cao Cao died, the dragons in Yuzhou had no leader, and the lord stationed in Xudu in the name of saving the driver, he could replace Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. It's a pity that Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, is not in Guandu, otherwise even if he is removed, the lord will be able to take all Cao Cao's subordinates. If the lord intends to dominate Hebei, he can cross the river to the north and join General Ziyi to take Yecheng directly. It's just that in this way, Yuan Shao will definitely lead the troops back to help, Guandu will be relieved, and Cao Cao will be safe and sound. But the Lord can also ambush Yuan's father and son in the middle of the road. ”

Jia Xu's cold remarks. It sent a chill down the spine of the people present. The Xin brothers secretly sighed in their hearts, this Jia Xu Lao'er is really powerful, no wonder Hu can become Cai Ji's mastermind. However, Cai Ji was a little confused by Jia Xu's intention to kill Cao's father and son. After all, Jia Xu had persuaded Cai Ji to join Cao Cao more than once before. Such a 180-degree reversal drama really made Cai Ji a little doubtful whether Jia Xu was testing himself.

With this in mind. Cai Ji asked Jia Xutan, "Kill Cao's father and son?" This is not what Mr. said. ”

Regarding Cai Ji's questioning, Jia Xu seemed quite calm. "At this time and at that time, since the Lord has great ambitions, he will follow suit."

Really? There is no denying the relationship between Cai Ji and Jia Xu. It's not as smart as Guo Jia. Sometimes Cai Ji can't figure out what Jia Xu is thinking. One thing is for sure, though. Jia Xu's tactics are always sharp and effective. As he proposes at this moment, each of the two paths seems to be a broad road. But is that really the case?

Before Cai Ji could make a choice, Xiao Jian had already said, "Lord, it's good to be in charge of the court." Being in charge of the court can not only coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but also improve the prestige of the lord. In the future, no matter where the Lord sends troops, he will be able to take advantage of the righteousness. ”

Yes, Han Tianzi is a piece of fat. Anyone wants to go up and take a bite. Yuan Shao, who gave up the opportunity to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, was ridiculed as a fool by later generations. Cai Ji sighed so emotionally in his heart, but he didn't respond to it. She always felt that there was something missing when she entered the court now.

Xin Bi saw Cai Ji bow his head and ponder without saying a word. knew that Xiao Jian did not guess Cai Ji's thoughts. And after he thought about Cai Ji's position for a while, he immediately understood what Qi Hou in front of him was worried about. But he saw Xin Bi shaking his head again and again. This is to lay the Lord on the fire. It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

Standing on the fire? Right! That's it. Cai Ji was reminded by Xin Biyi, when he remembered the allusion of Sun Quan persuading Cao Cao to become emperor. In another time and space, Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan wrote to Cao Cao to proclaim himself a minister, persuading him to become emperor, Cao Cao said: "The reason why my son wants to be in the furnace and the fire is that he hesitates on the issue of whether to enter the court is also because of insufficient prestige. Although Cai Ji's current strength is on par with Cao Cao, in terms of the prestige of the two, Cao Cao has thrown Cai Ji more than ten streets.

The woman's gender puts Cai Ji at a congenital disadvantage in terms of secular habits. In addition, being too young and without family support is also Cai Ji's flaws. In fact, since Cai Ji's father, Cai Boqi, can serve as the guardian of a county, the Cai family will certainly not be a nobody. Therefore, even if Cai Ji's branch is extinct, digging deep can still dig out a distant relative of the Wang family. It's just that this distant relative is a little farther away, in Xiangyang, that is, the Nanjun Taishou Cai Mao branch. And Cai Mao's sister is the famous Mrs. Cai, the wife of Liu Biao. is truly powerful and powerful, but it is impossible to abandon Jingzhou's industry, and Qianli Tiaotiao switched from Liu Biao to Cai Ji. It also did not bring much prestige to Cai Ji in the imperial court.

The lack of prestige means that Cai Ji cannot convince the public in the court. Of course, Cai Ji can also learn from Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, and whoever disobeys will destroy him. This move may be able to temporarily suppress the civil and military forces of the court, but in this way, Cai Ji's reputation for painstaking management can be regarded as completely stinking. Taking a step back, even if Cai Ji can ignore her reputation, she still can't do things that hurt nature and reason, such as strangling pregnant women and poisoning young children. So as Xin Bi said, now entering the imperial court is indeed putting Cai Ji on the stove to roast. What's more, even if Cai Ji replaces Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he may not be able to grasp many advantages. Especially when a certain prince is united with a local family, the imperial order is even weaker. After all, in the original history, Cao Cao did not get much bargain from the Jiangdong Sun family.

However, Cai Ji didn't immediately say what he thought, but raised his head and asked Jia Xu, "What does Mr. Wenhe think?" ”

Jia Xu looked directly at Cai Ji and smiled leisurely, "The Lord has already made a decision, so why do you need to ask the old man." ”

Cai Ji listened to Jia Xu's answer, and knew that he had chosen the right choice this time. So she looked around at the subordinates present and gladly announced, "As Mr. George said, if Gu enters the imperial court at this time, he will definitely be squeezed out of the Chinese military force and besieged by the princes of the world." It's like standing on a furnace. Therefore, Gu planned to take Hebei first, accumulate strength, and then seek to enter the imperial court. ”

Now that Cai Ji has set a goal, the next thing to discuss is how to achieve it. Gao Shun, who was born as a military general, likes this kind of goal-oriented discussion. So as soon as Cai Ji's words were finished, Gao Shun couldn't wait to ask Zhandao, "I wish to lead the troops to take Yecheng for the Lord." ”

Hitting Ye Cheng is Jia Xu's mention just now. It is undeniable that Yecheng is the capital of Yuan Shao and the capital of Jizhou. Taking Yecheng has a deep impact on the entire Hebei strategy. However, Yecheng is also not a city that can be passed away in three or two clicks. In particular, the layers of walls surrounding the main city are unusually thick, and I am afraid that even the bronze cannon will not be able to take it. With Jia Xu's knowledge, it is impossible not to know that Yecheng is difficult, so why did he mention yì to fight Yecheng? Cai Ji lowered his head and thought about it, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned his head and asked Jia Xu. "Mr. was going to cross the Yellow River alone and join General Ziyi in Yecheng, but he wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements?"

"Siege for reinforcements? What siege reinforcements? Gao Shun, who asked for battle, was confused by Cai Ji's sudden question.

Jia Xu, who was asked on the other end, stared at Cai Ji with squinted old eyes for a while. He immediately smiled approvingly and said, "The Lord is really witty. The old man is going to besiege Yecheng to fight Yuan Shao. ”

"Maybe you don't need to really besiege Yecheng, you just need to make a move to attack Yecheng. Yuan Shao can be introduced to the Jedi. Cai Ji opened his mind and said.

Listen to Cai Ji's addition. Jia Xu couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. No matter how evil the outside world is, just by virtue of the battle of Wancheng back then, Jia Xu has already tried out that Cai Ji does not understand military affairs at all. But at the same time, he can also feel that Cai Ji is always learning, and she can always accumulate more or less experience every time she fights. Although it is still far from being out of the division, being able to see through the battle situation like today, and then draw inferences from one another, can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of the art of war. This is completely different from those princes that Jia Xu has served for before, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Li Xuan. or Zhang Xiu later, although they all know how to march and arrange, but the level is like that. And the young woman in front of her is still growing. As for what kind of Cheng dù she will achieve in the future, even Jia Xu, who has always been old-fashioned, can't make a conclusion for a while.

While Cai Ji and his subordinates in the study were enthusiastically setting up a strategy for chasing the deer. In another wing room in the Xin Mansion, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Pi, and Xu Huang were gloomy. Although Cai Ji's previous appearance made people unable to find fault, both Xiahou Yuan and Cao Pi were worried from the bottom of their hearts whether Cai Ji would just be perfunctory. No, after Xiahou Yuan circled the room twice, he suddenly turned back to Cao Pi and asked, "How does Qi Hou treat his son?" ”

"Qi Hou was quite polite to Pi...... and ordered Pi to go with the army and let him escort him. Cao Pi replied with a slight hesitation. Because when he looks back at it, he finds that his relationship with Cai Ji these days is not so much a relationship between his fiancé and his fiancée, but as a relationship between superiors and subordinates. There are no more than ten words a day between the two. In terms of Cao Pi's mission to Donglai, it was quite a failure.

Xiahou Yuan saw Cao Pi's gloomy appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Pi Gongzi was too young to know how to please women. Knowing this, the lord should have given him some advice before he set off. Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but solemnly say to Cao Pi, "Gongzi needs to work Qi Hou." Aren't you proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, archery and horse riding? Women like those tones when they change them. If you try to do the same, there will always be one thing that will impress Qi Hou. I don't believe that Cai Anzhen is an iron man! ”

Cao Pi really wants to say that Cai Anzhen is an iron man. It is true that there are not many words between Cao Pi and Cai Ji, but Cao Pi took the opportunity to act as a guard, and still secretly observed Cai Ji for many days. He found that Cai Ji, like his father Cao Cao, was a tireless commander, busy with various official duties from morning to night. Even if it's a banquet, it's socializing. In addition, in addition to official documents, Cai Ji's account has only one copy of "Wei Yuzi". As for "The Book of Songs", "Yuefu" and other books that her daughter's family likes, there is no such thing, so Cao Pi doesn't know which type Cai Ji likes if he wants to write love poems. He didn't think that a woman like Cai Ji would be tempted by a few superficial compliments. And there is no trace of instruments such as pianos and chess. Cao Pi sometimes thinks about how boring this life is.

Xu Huang saw that Xiahou Yuan, who was five big and three thick, was temporarily cramming his feet to teach Cao Pi the way of picking up girls, and he really had the urge to laugh. However, given the current atmosphere, he still didn't laugh after all. Instead, he stepped forward and said to Xiahou Yuan, "General Miaocai." Pi Gongzi has his own measure. ”

Xiahou Yuan thought about it, and it was right, Cao Pi couldn't charm Cai Ji overnight and make him obey his words. No matter how anxious he is here, he can't influence Cai Ji's final decision. And if Cai Ji was really just perfunctory, then he and Xu Huang had no choice but to leave the plains and go to Wancheng to find the eldest son. With this realization, Xiahou Yuan reached out and patted Cao Pi's shoulder and comforted, "Pi Gongzi should rest and go." There's business to do tomorrow. ”

Although he knew that Xiahou Yuan's words were insincere, Cao Pi had no choice but to leave depressedly. After returning to the dormitory, Cao Pi deliberately looked towards Cai Ji's room, and found that there was no movement in the room, obviously Cai Ji was still discussing countermeasures with her subordinates at night. What is Cai Ji discussing with her staff? Will she send troops? How to send troops? With a mind full of questions, Cao Pi and Yi sat on the couch and fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up again, he found that it was already sunny outside. The dazzling light made Cao Pi subconsciously reach out and rub his eyes, but he didn't want to bring a corner of the blanket. Blanket? Covered with a blanket last night? Cao Pi looked at the extra blanket on his body and couldn't help but pause.

"Pi Gongzi wake up?"

Cai Ji's call outside the house made Cao Pi come back to his senses, and he immediately turned over and rushed out of the room. Cai Ji, who was waiting to see him in formal clothes, was standing in the middle of the courtyard surrounded by Jia Xu and the guards at the moment. Seeing Cao Pi running out in a hurry, Cai Ji greeted rather calmly, "Gu has decided to order troops to go out today." Childe washed up and went to the camp with the orphan. ”

The words "Ordering troops to go to battle" made Cao Pi immediately understand what would happen next. A night of anxiety and worry finally turned into a flying smile on the boy's face. Cao Pi, who couldn't hide the joy in his heart, rushed back to the room like a rabbit to clean up after giving up his order.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Cai Ji has seen such a real smile on Cao Pi's face. Although Cao Pi said that he had not smiled before, in Cai Ji's opinion, those smiles were somewhat reluctant. At this moment, looking at the disappearance of the young man's back, Cai Ji couldn't help but whisper, "It's better for the young man to smile more." ”

Jia Xu on the side saw that Cai Ji seemed to have a good impression of Cao Pi, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Lord, don't forget that this son's surname is Cao." ”

Yes, this kid is not only surnamed Cao, but in the history of another time and space, he still dared to force the Han Emperor to give in, rob other people's wives, accept his father's harem, and marry his brother-in-law's daughter. After a long list of slanders in his heart, Cai Ji waved his hand and smiled, "Gu will not forget that this son is Cao Zihuan." However, loneliness needs to be with him for a while, and it is better to live comfortably than to live awkwardly. ”
