At night, Cao Renduan, as the commander-in-chief, sat in the tent and read a bamboo slip with Xi Zhicai. After a while, I saw him throw the bamboo slip to the ground and hummed, after King Jing of Zhongshan. It's just a mat weaver and shoe seller, and he dares to go against my lord! ”

"Liu Bei came from a humble background, had no support, and only had a national surname to use. After all, there are many superficial people in this world. After the royal family, this banner can still pull a lot of people for him. This time, Liu Bei was invited by Tao Qian to assist Xuzhou, which not only won a good reputation for him, but also a good opportunity for him to expand his strength. Xi Zhicai leaned over to pick up the bamboo and smiled slightly lonely. He is also from a poor family, and he knows very well how important it is to a person in the Han Dynasty. Especially before the Yellow Turban Thieves rebelled, if a person did not have a good background or was recommended by nobles, even if that person had the wisdom of Xiao He and the courage of Han Xin, he would not be used by the imperial court. Even in today's troubled times, there are very few princes like Cao Cao who don't pay attention to the family and only look at their talents. It is precisely because of this that Xi Zhicai will dedicate a strategy to assist Cao Cao in repaying his kindness.

Cao Ren was born in a family, so naturally he would not have the same feelings for Liu Bei's background as Xi Zhicai. saw that he snorted coldly disapprovingly, but it was just a rabble. I think that Tao Qian's claimed tens of thousands of elite soldiers were not defeated by the lord in Pengcheng. ”

"One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. Tao Qian's command is only Zang Ba has generals. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Tao Qian did not use Zang Ba, and Tao Qian himself did not know how to lead the troops, so there was such a big defeat. However, Liu Bei is different from Tao Qian. He and his Yi Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all heroes of the world. And Liu Bei is in the prime of life, with ambition but no foundation. This kind of person who wants to fight for his family business is more difficult to deal with than an old fox like Tao Qian who is full of just wanting to protect himself. Xi Zhicai did not shy away from commenting. And this style of telling the truth is also Cao Jun's consistent style.

No, Cao Ren did not blame him for his ambition after listening to Xi Zhicai's words of praising Liu Guanzhang and the others. On the contrary, Cao Ren frowned after weighing the military strength of Tao Qian, Liu Bei and his own side, even if Liu Bei is really talented. With the fact that he had just arrived in Xuzhou, he couldn't gather a large number of men and horses for a while. Xun Sima was in a hurry to let the lord retreat, didn't he show weakness to that Liu Bei? ”

The Xun Sima mentioned by Cao Ren refers to Xun Yu, the chief strategist under Cao Cao. This person is the grandson of Xun Shu, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the word is ruo, a native of Yingchuan and Yingyin. Because of the rare talent, Nanyang celebrity He Hao was surprised after seeing it, and called it Wang Zuozhicai. At first, Xun Yu and his younger brother Xun Chen joined Yuan Shao. But soon Xun Yu felt that Yuan Shao "couldn't make a big deal in the end". So in the second year of Chuping, Xun Yu left Yuan Shao and switched to Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw Xun Yu coming to vote, Dayue, called him "my son Fang Ye", and worshiped Xun Yu as Sima. And Xun Yu did not live up to Cao Cao's expectations. He not only gave advice to Cao Cao, but also successively introduced strategists such as Zhong Xuan and Xi Zhicai to join Cao.

Since Xi Zhicai was recommended by Xun Yu, he still knows his thoughts better. But seeing the drama at this time, he smiled and said with a smile, Xun Sima's temperament, you still don't understand. I'm afraid that spring ploughing is coming, and he is now thinking about how to transfer troops back to Yanzhou Tuntian to harvest wheat. ”

Originally from the time of Emperor Ling, the Central Plains has been plagued by famines. Zhang Jiao and others saw the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to incite the people to rebel. However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not overthrow the Eastern Han Dynasty or stop the famine, but on the contrary, ignited a continuous war. Countless young people were involved in wars, and countless fertile fields were destroyed by man-made disasters and natural disasters. But even if you fight a war, you need food and grass to replenish it. Even if you want to grab it, someone has to plant it first. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring both the sufficient supply of troops and the supply of grain and grass, there was a compromise method of tuntian. And the first prince to use the army in this era was Tao Qian, whom Cao Cao was currently conquest.

Therefore, when Cao Ren heard the word Tuntian, he immediately smiled bitterly and said that Tuntian is a good way. It's just that you don't have to be like Tao Qian's soldiers, so you can't farm until you can't fight. ”

"The dealer in the field doesn't pop out on his own, someone has to plant it. After all, this year, we can't loot Xuzhou like last winter to feed the war. In doing so, you're roasting the lord on the fire. Xi Zhicai sighed a little gloomily.

Cao Ren reached out and patted Zhicai's shoulder after hearing this, comforting him: "Fighting to nourish war is also a last resort. In addition, the newly invested Qingzhou soldiers are rebellious and difficult to train, and if they don't give them some sweetness, how can they be willing to follow the lord with all their hearts. The lord and the monarch know this. The military adviser no longer has to worry too much about the affairs of Xuzhou. ”

It turned out that after learning the news of Cao Song's robbery and killing, it was Xi Zhicai who was the first to say to Cao Cao to loot Xuzhou in the name of revenge for his father. Although Cao Cao did achieve a big victory in Xuzhou in the end, he also left a lot of infamy in the Central Plains. In addition, Cao Cao destroyed his clan because of the former Jiujiang Taifen Bianrang for Tao Qian's grievances. This made Cao Cao's reputation in Shilin take a sharp turn, and he seemed to have a posture on par with Dong Zhuo. As Cao Cao's staff, Xi Zhicai certainly didn't want to watch the lord become the target of public criticism. However, sometimes people are short-sighted, and this phrase also applies to one side of the force. Although Cao Cao was born in a famous family, he did not have the solid family background of the fourth and third princes like Yuan Shao. The Cao clan's financial resources alone could not sustain their growing military strength. In addition, as Cao Ren said, Cao Cao's reorganization of the Yellow Turban Thieves into Qingzhou soldiers was far less smooth than the outside world seemed it rumored. After years of turmoil, these gold thieves have long lost their original belief in helping the world and saving people, and have completely become rogues who burn, kill, and plunder. Therefore, while Cao Cao digested and organized these Yellow Turban thieves, on the other hand, he also needed to provide them with sufficient food and grass to ensure that these Yellow Turban thieves would not rebel or defect to other factions. In short, money and grain have become the bottleneck restricting Cao Cao's development. And both of these things are available in Xuzhou and are very abundant. In fact, Cao Cao and his subordinates understood that Cao Song's death had nothing to do with Tao Qian. But there is a way that the husband is not guilty and bears his guilt. Cao Cao needed money and food from Xuzhou, so Tao Qian had to take responsibility for Cao Song's death, so the city of Xuzhou had to be slaughtered whether he surrendered or not.

The truth is often simple and brutal. Once the matter of Xi Zhicai has come to this point, there is no turning back, and the top priority is to seek more money and food for the lord. Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai changed his words and said, "Dashuai, we still have to attack the city." ”

"But the lord wants me to wait as long as possible to return to Yanzhou. Besides, the city of Huangxian is thick and thick, and it may take some time to conquer it. Cao Ren frowned.

"You don't need to spend any more time, just one day." Xi Zhicai waved his hand.

"Just one day? How could this be a defeat of Huang County. Cao Ren asked puzzled.

"Of course, you can't beat Huang County in one day. Therefore, after the vanguard siege was frustrated, the main army of our army pretended to retreat again and led the defenders of Huangxian County out of the city for a battle. Xi Zhicai said and made a gesture to kill the pistol.

After hearing this, Cao Ren lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked, What if the defenders of Huangxian County don't take the bait? ”

"If you don't take the bait. I'll have to wait. Xi Zhicai spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Understood. Tomorrow, let the gang of bandits who have recently voted take the lead. Cao Ren patted his thigh and decided.

Xi Zhicai and Cao Ren sacrificed hundreds of lives in just a few words. These people originally came to Cao Jun with the desire to survive, but at this moment they have become bait for them to defraud Huang County. But this is troubled times, this is war. In Xi Zhicai's view, only those who survive have the capital to talk about morality and benevolence outside the battlefield; Only by growing up can they have a chance to take revenge on those conspirators who are secretly plotting. Therefore, in the protracted and unrighteous battle, the lord Cao Cao must have the last laugh, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his head for this reason.

Just as Xi Zhicai secretly vowed to assist Cao Cao in the final victory, the conspirators in his heart were also observing the changes on the battlefield in Xuzhou thousands of miles away. This includes Taishan County, one of the initiators of the Battle of Xuzhou.

Ying Shao, the word Zhongyuan, is a native of Nandun County, Runan County. When he was young, he was attentive and studious, and he was well-informed. When Emperor Ling, he was held up as filial piety. Zhongping served as the Taishan County Taishou for six years. Perhaps influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, later generations always sighed when talking about Cao Cao's crusade against Tao Qian, Tao Qian's original intention to please Cao Cao ended up burning himself. But few people noticed that in fact, it was not Tao Qian who originally wrote a letter to invite Cao Song to take refuge, but the Taishan County Shou Yingshao. According to the logic of Cao Cao's revenge on Tao Qian, Ying Shao invited his father Cao Song to take refuge, but did not send troops and horses to protect him, and should be responsible for the death of the Cao family's father and son. But the reality is that after Ying Shao learned of Cao Song's death, he resigned as soon as he learned of Cao Song's death, and slipped to Yecheng to take refuge in Yuan Shao. At this time, not only was he not affected by any war, but he was even able to drink wine in the mansion of Yecheng while pointing fingers at the Battle of Xuzhou.

"Everyone in the world should be Tao Qian, a humble gentleman. Hmph, is there a gentleman in this world who would join forces with thieves to invade neighboring counties? said that it was all the fault of the demon Dao Que Xuan. Ha, with such a miscellaneous hair, how can Tao Qian gather thousands of people to invade my Taishan County without his support behind him. If it was really Que Xuan's idea, then why didn't he Tao Qian return the counties occupied by the thieves to me after killing Que Xuan. Instead, his cronies Lu Zhu turned it into Taishan County. You said that he Tao Qian Xuzhou state pastor how has the right to appoint Qingzhou Taishan County to do other things. It's really a fool when I should Shao. Xu drank too much wine, and Ying Shao's red rosacea also increased. But he saw him holding a wine cup and leaning to the side and the middle-aged scribe who was sitting next to him whispered in his ear Zhongzhi, Tao Qian's old horseman's dirty things are more than that. The demon monk Zhenrong who killed Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling County, is also Tao Qian's henchman. Tao Qian originally appointed Zhenrong as the prime minister of Xiapi County to supervise the transportation of grain in Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng, just to let this demon monk take the opportunity to swallow the grain of these four counties and recruit troops for him. Hmph, say that the Tao is promoted to promote the Buddha, and it is said to build the Nine Mirror Pagoda of the Great Futu Temple. It's just doing that demonic thing under the banner of believing in Buddhism. It's just that Tao Qian never expected that Zhenrong would abandon him with a group of believers when Xuzhou was in danger. This is really stealing chickens and rice. It's not the old man who is here to punish him. Just by virtue of Tao Qian's call for believing in Buddhism and exempting from military service, it can be said that he has acted as a disobedient person. ”

The middle-aged scribe who was called Zhongzhi by Ying Shao was Xin Ping, a strategist under Yuan Shao. This person was originally Han Fu's subordinate, and after Han Fu fled, he turned to assist Yuan Shao. At this time, Xin Ping saw that Ying Shao was talking and talking about his disobedience, and he couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly persuaded Ying Lao, you drank too much, drank too much. ”

Ying Shao wasn't too drunk after all. Hearing Xin Ping say this, he immediately thought of what Yuan Shao had done over the years, which was better than Tao Qian. So he immediately laughed and waved his arm to cover it up Haha, the old man is not drunk, not drunk. The old man is happy, happy. It is said that this time, fortunately, the prison army came out to conspire and guide, and used Cao Song's family property as bait to lead Zhang Min to rob and kill the Cao family. Then he provoked Cao Cao to go east to conquer Tao Qian. Now, the Cao Tao War not only weakened Tao Qian's strength and made him unable to peep into Qingzhou anymore, but also damaged Cao Cao's reputation, so that some clans in Yanqing and Erzhou no longer supported him. And now Tao Qian has invited Liu Bei, who has been hindering Yuan Gong in the plains, to Xuzhou for rescue. so that Yuan Gong can concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zhan's house. This is a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone. ”

Ying Shao's so-called frustration is Yuan Shao's most important strategist at the moment. Frustrated, the word Gong and, like Xin Ping, was originally a strategist of Han Fu. After Yuan Shao occupied the entire territory of Jizhou, he said to him that the general was weak and crowned and ascended to the dynasty, and he became famous in the sea; On the occasion of the abolition, it is loyal and righteous; Riding alone, Dong Zhuo is terrified; To the north of the Jihe River, the Bohai Sea is the head. The pawn of Zhenyi County, the people of Jizhou, the mighty Heshuo, the name of the world. Although the Yellow Turban is chaotic, Montenegro is domineering, and the army is eastward, then Qingzhou can be determined; If you also ask for Montenegro, Zhang Yan can be destroyed; If you return to the north, your grandson will be mourned; If you are shocked by Rong Di, the Huns will follow. The north of the Hengda River, the land of the four states, the talent of the heroes, the millions of people, the welcome in Xijing, the temple of Fuzong in Luoyi, the command of the world, in order to seek the unrecovered, in order to compete, who can be the enemy? Compared to several years, this is not difficult. Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and then set his advice as Yuan's strategic policy. He was also awarded the title of supervising the army and the general of Fenwu.

But at this moment, the frustrated professor was not overjoyed in the face of the praise, but turned his eyes to the young man sitting opposite and said, "I should be old enough to win the award." If it weren't for George's sentence, 'Cao Song is greedy for money and stingy, and he is afraid that he will be peeped upon by thieves, and Tao Qian will not distinguish between loyalty and goodness, and he will be deceived by traitors. I'm afraid I couldn't have thought of such a clever plan. George, my lord is very satisfied with your appearance this time. It has been decided to grant you the position of Assistant. In the future, Wangru will give advice to the Lord. ”

This young man with the word George is Xin Bi, the younger brother of Xin Ping. Judging from his expression, it seems that he does not want to accept the position of false assistant. Seeing this, Xin Ping on the side knew that his brother Xin Bi was actually not optimistic about Yuan Shao. Even this Xuzhou conspiracy was only after Xin Ping repeatedly persuaded Xin Bi to agree. It turns out that his brother's insight and strategy are far above him. In Xin Ping's view, he and his younger brother are both from Hebei, and it is natural for Yuan Shao to achieve great things. Therefore, he should thank the Dao George on behalf of the Xin Clan, and it is the glory of my Xin clan to be appreciated by the lord. Please also ask the frustrated prison army to return to the lord, and the two of us will work together to assist the lord to complete the hegemony in the future! ”

Seeing that his brother was anxious to show his loyalty, Xin Bi had no choice but to deal with Dao Bi against his will, and thanked the lord for his kindness. ”

The little expressions of the Xin family naturally did not escape the frustration of their eyes. I saw him holding a wine cup and casually asked George, what do you think of the current situation? ”

Xin Bi lowered his head and replied dryly: It is the right way to enter Jizhou as the Son of Heaven. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth reflected in the cup.
