Chapter 179: Cao Cao's Ambition
"Xijiang Yue Cao Cao":
Since childhood, he has been a hussar, and Jin Ge has been riding a horse. Feng Wolf Juxu shocked the thief, and tens of thousands of Huns were headed.
Unfortunately, the Han family has changed greatly, and the world is in the cold autumn. Like a grass field looking at the heart, the latent minions endure it.
โฆโฆ
However, it was said that Cao Cao was still sullen when he returned to the camp, and Cheng Yu and others had already walked up: "The lord is still bored about today's events?" โ
This Cheng Zhongde is a genius who strategizes the world, why doesn't he have long eyes, but which pot is not opened? Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, who was in the lead, hatefully, nodded and said, "That's right, can Zhongde have words to teach me?" โ
Cheng Yu smiled faintly, and asked without answering: "Yu dare to ask the will of the lord?" โ
Cao Cao Huo Ran got up, walked around the camp with his hands on his back, and made a generous statement: "Huo Hu rode the wolf Juxu, Dou champion Le Shi Yanran, waved tens of thousands of heroes to gallop on the border, and the Huns escaped from the head of the award, and the husband is nothing more than that!" โ
"In this case, the lord and Wang Deyu serve the same court, and Xu Gongming or Wang Deyu or the lord, what is the difference?" Cao Cao, who said one sentence, was dumbfounded and silent. Cheng Yu shook his head and continued, "The lord has always had the ambition of Lingyun, and Yu and the others are deeply admired. However, what Yu and the others want to know is that the lord's mind has changed now? โ
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan and the others in deep contemplation.
Since he was a child, Ah Weng has held himself on his knees, giving him the story of Huo Quzhi and Dou Xian, two generations of famous generals, and also planting a sapling in his young heart that is determined to serve the country and become famous in the frontier. I also admired the two sages, hoping that one day I would be able to plant the banner of the Han Dynasty all over the world like them.
Huo Quai, a generation of heroes. In the first battle, he led 800 horsemen to penetrate hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory, killing the Huns and wolves. Attacked Hexi and annihilated more than 40,000 enemies. Captured more than 100 people, including five Xiongnu kings and the queen mother, Shan Yu's clan, princes, Xiangguo, and generals.
At the age of twenty-two, he chased the deer to Monan, sealed the wolf Juxu, so that "the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan", and the Huns shouted: "Kill me in Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; Losing my Yanzhi Mountain makes my women colorless. โ
Dou Xian, the relative of Jiaofang, made meritorious contributions outside the territory. Due to the rebellion of the Northern Xiongnu, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Qianghu were united, and they joined forces in Zhuo Evil Mountain. The Northern Xiongnu were defeated in Jiluo Mountain, destroying 13,000 enemies and capturing countless prisoners.
But when did you start to change?
Was it from the boiling blood of the first time in charge of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, or from a false edict from Dong Zhuo usurping the dynasty, or seeing that the Han towns supported the army and the Han emperor was cowardly and incompetent, he came up with a different kind of thought?
Cao Cao didn't know when it started, he didn't know how long it had been hidden, and he didn't even know that he had ambitions for a long time.
However, he knew that this thing was like a weed in the field, once it grows, it will be lush and green all over the mountains, give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, give a little spring breeze and it will flood, its blade is like a snake's teeth, and its momentum is like thunder.
Cao Cao shook his head in distress, at first he just wanted to be a pure minister who purged the dynasty, but now everything has changed, is he really going to become "a capable minister who governs the world and a hero in troubled times" as Xu Shao said?
His character retains a truth, but he is not pedantic or clumsy, but he is still one of the few smart people in this world, so how can a celebrity say "The Han family is dying, and those who are in peace with the world will be this person!" That's why he was able to kill Jian Shuo's uncle with a rod and be unharmed, and to order the heroes to kill the thieves.
He looks full of sunshine and harmless people and animals, but he also has ambition and ambition, so he can
can write heroic verses such as "Lao Ji is in the woods, aiming for a thousand miles", and can write "The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it." The stars are splendid, if out of it", the majestic poem!
However, Xu Huang's words made him have to re-recognize himself.
Yuan Benchu, who wore open crotch pants with him and climbed over the wall to watch the widow take a bath, now galloped across the Central Plains on a horse, forcing Yuan Highway, Han Wenjie and Liu Xuande's three-way army to join forces to resist the enemy.
Wang Deyu, who was a few years younger than himself, fought against the Yellow Turban and defeated the Dong thief, and with his own strength, he made a great reputation in Jizhou, and welcomed back the young emperor to become the master of Luoyang City.
So, what about him? Do you still want to be attached to Wang Deyu like a vine? How will he grow into a towering tree!
Ambition is like a poisonous snake lurking in his heart, desperately gnawing at Cao Cao's original intention, and the balance of being content with the status quo and fighting hard has gradually tilted. He decided, he was no longer suppressed, he was not restrained, and he did not want to extinguish his ideals, ambitions and ambitions.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others with eyes like torches: "Do you feel aggrieved?" โ
"The Lord worries about the labor, and the Lord humiliates the ministers to death. As the lord's cronies, advisers, and military generals can't solve the lord's worries, and can't make the brave generals fall in love with the lord, their fault lies with us, not with the lord. Cheng Yu sighed ashamedly, raised his head and looked at Cao Cao, "But what is the will of the lord, I must figure it out today." โ
Cao Cao stared at everyone and slowly exhaled: "Must be said? โ
"It must be said!" Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Man Chong, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren moved forward, standing side by side with Cheng Yu, their eyes burning.
Cheng Yu coughed and said: "If the will of the lord is in the township pavilion, I will ask to retire immediately; If it is in a county, a hundred miles of talent is enough; If you are in the state, you need thousands of miles of talent; If there is a good plan in the belly of the mountains and rivers, the opportunity of the universe, and the ambition of swallowing the heavens and the earth, then we should use the country as a chessboard and the princes as chess pieces, and plan for the Lord again! โ
"Dare to ask what is the will of the lord?" Everyone asked at the same time.
Cao Cao shot the case, his eyes were like lightning: "In the past, Feng Yuan Tu (Feng [pรกng] Ji) persuaded Yuan Benchu to take Jizhou, and once said: The big husband is all over the world, how to treat people to send food for food!" Jizhou is a land of abundant money and grain, why not take it?
Although I, Cao Cao, don't have a lot of ability, I also have a twelve-point ambition. In this life, even if you can't learn from Huo Huqi to seal the wolf Juxu, Dou champion Le Shi Yanran, you should also lift the Longquan sword three times like Yuan Benchu and Wang Deyu, cut the evil spirits, remove injustice, gallop the world, and crisscross the four seas! โ
"Congratulations, congratulations! We are willing to follow the lord to conquer the territory, and we will not yield until death! Cheng Yu and the others put their right hands on their chests and spoke generously, with smiles on their faces, as if they were sunny after the rain.
Cao Cao really deserves to be a hero, since he has let go of his heart, Cao Cao beckoned everyone to sit down, spread out the map on the desk and asked calmly: "Cao Mou has told you about my ambitions, so what should I do next?" โ
Cheng Yu arched his hand and said with a smile: "The Han family is withering, first there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then there were Dong thieves usurping the dynasty, and it has long been unable to command the people. But the surname Liu has been more than 400 years since Gaozu, and morality has long entered the hearts of scholars. Therefore, Yi Yuzhi saw that the lord should learn from Wang Deyu and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! โ
"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes?"
"Exactly!"
"In the past, Dong thief abolished the young emperor to help Chen Liu, although it was a rebellion, but his order was sent out of the towns and courtiers, who could oppose it? The lord is overbearing, and the princes know it, but they still gather to follow, why not? Righteousness too! If the lord can coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, and the beasts and horses to beg for the court, who can control him?"
Cao Cao nodded and looked at it suspiciously
Cheng Yu: "But, the Son of Heaven is in Luoyang, Wang Deyu is heavily protected, and we are also in Guanzhong, how can we coerce him?" โ
Cheng Yu and Liu Ye and the others looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads, approached the desk, pointed to the map on the table, shook their heads and said, "Definitely!" The Son of Heaven is not in Luoyang, but here! โ
Everyone looked at it, and saw that the place where Cheng Yu pointed was Chang'an.
"You mean the puppet emperor Chen Liujun King?" Cao Cao regained his true character as a hero, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Yu and the others nodded firmly: "That's right!" Although the puppet emperor was established by Dong Thief but did not abdicate, the world knows that if we have the puppet emperor in hand, wouldn't we also have righteousness? What's more..."
"What's more?"
"Not to mention, we still have to walk on two feet!" Zhong Miao smiled at Cao Cao, and then took on the topic of Cheng Yu and said, "In order to prevent accidents, for example, when breaking Chang'an, Dong thief wanted to kill the fish and break the net and end up with the puppet emperor, and for example, Wang Deyu got the puppet emperor one step ahead of the lord, so the lord should also send someone to rush back to Hanoi to inform the prince and Mancheng, and bury the nail in Luoyang."
Today, there are only a few people in Luoyang City, Tian Chi, Yan Bojing and Xun Wenruo, although Yan Xun is as wise as the sea, but after all, they have no skills, Tian Chi is just a fierce general, and he deserves it.
The grandfather of the lord, Cao Teng Da Changqiu, was an idler when he was alive, and he was quite famous in the palace and benefited a lot from the deceased. Once Chang'an is lost, the public platform will immediately launch the nails in Luoyang City, and ask the old people to help one or two to intercept the young emperor! โ
"You know, once we take action, whether it succeeds or not, we will become rivals with Wang Deyu. Wang Deyu's ministers are like rain, and the brave generals are like clouds, and now we can't directly confront them head-on, do you have a good plan? โ
"Lord, then Zhao Zilong, Zhang Wenyuan, Gao Boxun and Xu Gongming and others also have two noses and two holes, why bother to grow others' ambition to destroy their own prestige? There are a few of my brothers, where did they hurt half of the lord's cold hair? Xiahou was indignant and made a thick nasal voice.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and listened to Cheng Yu continue: "For today's plan, it is nothing more than a combination of vertical and horizontal. Outside Chang'an City, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers watching Ma Teng and Han Sui, why not join forces with Ma Teng and Han Sui for the time being to expel Wang Deyu from Chang'an?
Then take the puppet emperor as the new monarch, take Chang'an as the foundation, first level Liangzhou, then set Bashu, and then control Jingzhou along the river, pointing to Dongwu and Qingxu. In the end, Liangzhou and Jingzhou sent troops to cover the surrounding areas and Jizhou, and dominate the world! โ
I have to say that Cheng Yu's pie is very large, and Cao Cao is a little tempted. But Cao Cao is the Cao Cao in history after all, and now that the blood and qi are just when he wants to relax his chest, how can some bottom lines be easily touched?
Shaking his head, Zhengse said: "It doesn't matter if Ma Teng is a descendant of Ma Fubo, but then Han Sui Yellow River Jiuqu, drove Qiang to make chaos in Sanfu, and slaughtered my Chinese man with barbarian soldiers, such collusion with foreigners, how can Cao Mou join forces with him if he can't kill him!" โ
Cheng Yu's face was a little solemn: "Sitting on the three auxiliaries, uniting the Ma Han soldiers Kou Bashu, and finally riding the world, the lord is not afraid of losing the first move?" โ
Cao Cao let out a long roar: "What's so scary! Cao Mou dared to fight with Tiangong even if he had no place to stand, so why was he afraid of losing the first hand and then the hand! โ
Cheng Yu shook off the inherent thoughts in his heart, and sighed slowly: "In this case, no matter whether the lord succeeds or not, there will be only one place to go!" โ
"Where?"
"Yangzhou!"
Cao Cao stared at the map, Huo Ran got up, and punched Yangzhou: "Yangzhou is Yangzhou, may the princes help me fight a new world with him!" โ
"No!"
