Chapter 169: Cao Cao's Mind
Although Cao Cao no longer has the initial hostility towards Qingyunzhai, staying in Yecheng due to such an unstable factor will still make him worried, after all, the situation in Qingyunzhai is really special.
If it is a cottage under Cao Cao's control, then this matter has to be a different matter, and the situation can be described as completely different.
Besides, even if Cao Cao shows good intentions now, they have already had conflicts with each other. In this case, it is simply impossible to completely eliminate it, and Cao Cao will not believe it.
Of course, now that the situation has stabilized, Cao Cao will not break it easily.
If this balance is destroyed, it is he Cao Cao who suffers, or this is a lose-lose scene.
……
Since solving the problem of Gongsun Kang.
Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, except for leaving some soldiers and horses at the border, most of them began to rest.
After all, Cao Cao still has something to do behind him, and it is impossible to keep it tense all the time, and now rest and recuperate is a necessary option. Otherwise, the follow-up plan will not be able to be implemented, and it will inevitably lead to many problems.
After returning to Yecheng, Cao Cao began to reward meritorious deeds, and this time he also made a lot of great contributions. Especially Zhang Liao and Tian Chou, these two almost single-handedly reversed the tide of the battle.
directly extinguished the stepping ton, such an amazing efficiency, even Cao Cao felt extremely stunned.
Such talents naturally can't be treated badly, and Cao Cao also gave a great reward, and the so-called promotion and wealth are also.
Zhang Liao naturally would not refuse this kind of thing, after all, this was what he deserved, and those soldiers were also rewarded. This was an opportunity, and Zhang Liao seized it.
If Zhang Liao didn't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to get Cao Cao's attention, after all, Cao Cao is now a general, this is not a joke.
With the gradual stabilization of the situation in the north, talents from all walks of life have converged under Cao Cao, and his strength has grown to the peak. I'm afraid that there is no one in the world who can match Cao Cao.
It is for this reason that Cao Cao also began to derive other ideas, and he must not be more than a corner of the peace. Now that this has been done, Jing Yang and other places naturally can't let it go.
For today's Cao Cao, dominating the world is the only goal.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a little pity, Chen Jue was such a god, but he couldn't help him achieve his goal. If they can cooperate, I'm afraid the world will only be able to catch it.
For Chen Jue, even if Cao Cao has other ideas, he is still really convinced of his skills. Chen Jue's ability is something that Cao Cao has never seen, which is comparable to the word god.
At the moment, in Yecheng.
Cao Cao knew from the news provided by Xun Yu and others that Chen Jue had indeed left, but he didn't know the specific news. After all, Chen Jue and the others went to Wadao, and it was impossible to explain things too clearly.
Because of this special situation, Cao Cao didn't go to Qingyun Village, and now he can't go to other people's wives, right?
Although Cao Cao has a special preference, he also knows that it is easy to bully over there, and it is not easy to bully there, so he will not easily provoke Chen Jue.
With Cao Cao's understanding of Chen Jue, unless he is absolutely sure, it is impossible to attack Qingyunzhai.
Obviously, Cao Cao was not sure at this moment.
Although Chen Jue's strength is extraordinary and he can easily crush Xu Chu, this is not the reason why Cao Cao is afraid of Chen Jue. After all, a powerful individual does not mean that he is invincible, at least two fists are invincible.
No matter how powerful Chen Jue is, can he still kill hundreds of thousands of troops?
At this moment, Cao Cao's cognition is still very shallow, because he does not have a detailed understanding of the situation in Qingyunzhai, he does not know the existence of the Xiaowei battalion, and he does not know the combat power of this army.
Anyway, in Cao Cao's opinion, he was afraid that his operation would force Chen Jue to the opposite side. At that time, the situation will be really troublesome, and Cao Cao is not absolutely sure about this.
Dig a little deeper, in fact, Cao Cao is afraid of a good Liu Bei.
The current Uncle Liu Huang is still very down, he is staying under Liu Biao, and many suggestions are not accepted.
Just like Cao Cao's expedition to the north before, Liu Bei once proposed to Liu Biao that he wanted him to take advantage of the emptiness in Cao Cao's rear and directly send troops to sneak attack, and he would definitely be able to achieve good results.
In fact, Liu Bei's strategic vision is still good.
Maybe many people will ridicule Liu Bei for knowing soldiers because of the Battle of Yiling, but in fact, Liu Bei is indeed very good at using soldiers.
After a brief pondering, Liu Bei started from nothing, and without the assistance of strategists, he finally boiled to the point where his strength was formed. During this time, although there were constant beatings, there were also victories.
Strictly speaking, Liu Bei did not lose badly.
More often than not, he is unable to fight against strong enemies from all sides because of the disparity in strength.
After Liu Bei's forces were formed, he opened the Hanzhong and directly defeated Cao Cao and captured Hanzhong.
Although Cao Cao had taken away the population of Hanzhong, Liu Bei's victory was undoubted. Both sides invested a lot of troops, but Liu Bei still won the victory with less to more.
Perhaps this victory is not just the credit of Liu Bei alone, but as the boss at that time, Liu Bei also played a vital role, which is also the embodiment of Liu Bei's ability.
When Liu Bei was under Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao attached great importance to him and wanted to subdue him.
But no matter what Liu Bei said, he was also a member of the Han family, even if he was flattering on the surface, it was impossible to be convinced by Cao Cao in his heart.
There is no problem with this thing at all, it's not that Liu Bei is anti-bone, but Cao Cao's identity is inherently special. No matter how nice it sounds, it's just a thief, and it's despised by everyone.
The awe that is shown may be the contempt in the heart.
Later, Liu Bei found an opportunity to run away, Cao Cao naturally felt annoyed, but he was really worried about Liu Bei.
Once Chen Jue chooses Liu Bei and stabilizes his foundation in the south, I'm afraid he will be really in trouble.
Cao Cao was not afraid of Chen Jue alone, nor was he too afraid of Liu Bei, he was just a little worried.
But when combined, the situation is completely different.
It's just that Cao Cao never thought that although Chen Jue didn't want to do things for him, he wouldn't do things for Liu Bei. I just want to go out independently and make a team to do something big by myself.
It's no wonder that Cao Cao didn't expect it, it was really too small in Qingyun Village, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to consider that aspect.
There are only a few thousand people, and there are only a few hundred troops when they are full, which is really an insignificant force for Cao Cao today.
Cao Cao really didn't think about this aspect, because in his opinion, even if Chen Jue had an idea, he was really desperate to solve Qingyun Village, and he could do it.
The difference here is how much Cao Cao needs to pay.
However, the reality now is that if Cao Cao really wants to solve Qingyunzhai, the price he will pay will be unbelievable.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao also had his own ideas.
Then he found Guo Jia, no one else was here, maybe Cao Cao also had other cronies, but Guo Jia was always the most trusted one, and he had no doubts about him at all.
Cao Cao didn't know that after staying in Qingyun Village for so long, although Guo Jia was still the same Guo Jia, his inner thoughts had changed, and he was not as simple and pure as before.
I won't mention this matter for the time being.
Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia and said with a smile:
"Fengxiao, now that the situation in the north has stabilized, what do you think Lone should do next?"
Guo Jia's eyes condensed slightly, but his expression did not change, and then replied:
"The prime minister must have made a decision about this, and the matter has come to this point, of course, to use troops to the south. As long as Jingzhou is taken, Yangzhou is just around the corner, and Yizhou is even more so. ”
Cao Cao nodded, and then said with a smile:
This is not bad, but Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou entered Xiangyang in Jingzhou alone and established this huge foundation. Although this person is old, he is still not to be underestimated, what does Feng Xiao think? ”
But Guo Jia shook his head very disdainfully, and said:
"The prime minister's words are wrong, just Liu Jingsheng, this person is already old and doesn't know how to act. If you don't even have the courage to go out, how can you be the prime minister's opponent? ”
Cao Cao was dumbfounded, then nodded and said:
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, Liu Jingsheng has fallen to such an extent, Liu Bei persuaded him to send troops, and he hesitated, such a person can only be defeated in this troubled world."
Speaking of Liu Biao's thoughts, everyone is also clear.
It's nothing more than four words in a corner of peace.
But in this troubled world, how can it be so easy to want a corner of peace, and the only thing waiting in front of you is a dead end.
How could someone like Cao Cao let it go?
From the moment he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Cao had already set a goal, and he would go that far.
Even if he does not ascend the throne and become emperor, he will dominate the world and accomplish this simple and straightforward goal.
At that time, he Cao Mengde will go down in history.
For the people of the time, it is very important to leave a name in history, at least Cao Cao thinks so. He wanted to leave a good name for himself, not a national thief, and that didn't sound good.
Now it is just a corner of peace, and what Cao Cao has done is naturally not above board.
But once he dominates the world, his exploits will be infinitely magnified, and at that time it will naturally become positive.
Or in other words, when one's strength reaches a certain level, it will naturally be feared by people.
If you don't have enough strength, I'm afraid it's just a joke.
No one cares about a weakling.
Especially in this era when there is no order.
After a simple sigh, Cao Cao said:
"If you don't mention this Liu Jingsheng, what does Feng Xiao think, how about Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou in Yangzhou?"
This made Guo Jiawei pay attention to it, but he was still a little disdainful, and said with a slight mockery in his words:
"This Sun Zhongmou is also inheriting his father's and brother's inheritance, although he has some ability, but in the final analysis, he is just the king of success. This person is not enough to enter, as long as the prime minister Wang Shi is killed, he will definitely be able to win. ”
I have to say that Guo Jia is still very accurate in seeing people.
Isn't Sun Quan this kind of person?
A group of powerful guards, but they really want to fight outside, and they are beaten out in an instant.
As the old saying goes, if you give birth to a child, you should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Hefei will give 100,000 heads......
Although it is just a joke, it is also a real thing.
Zhang Liao started in Wuhuan, and now he is really famous in the world, or when he fought against Sun Quan in Hefei.
The number of 100,000 heads several times in a row has turned Zhang Liao into a figure who can stop children crying at night in Soochow.
With such a prestige, how can it not be powerful?
Of course, no matter what, Sun Quan still has a little bit of ability to establish Eastern Wu, although it is not very good.
Sun Quan in his later years was simply brain-dead.
A proper tyrannical king.
I won't mention this matter for the time being.
Cao Cao got the answer he wanted, and the whole person was still very relaxed, and he didn't delay too long, and said loudly:
"In this way, the two states of Jingyang in the south can indeed be taken, I don't know what Fengxiao thinks of the situation in Yizhou?"
Talking about Yizhou, Guo Jia's expression was a little strange, even more strange than before, and even laughed:
"Yizhou is a rich land, which can be described as a treasure of nature, but now Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang is not a person. After Liu Yan's death, Yizhou has become just a piece of fat.
The difference is just being eaten. ”
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia despised Liu Zhang so much, and Cao Cao was somewhat surprised.
But he didn't say much, but believed Guo Jia's judgment, after all, with his understanding of Guo Jia, he was indeed very good at seeing people. This is not something that ordinary people can compare, but it can be described as very strong.
And Guo Jianai is his cronies, so naturally there is no need to doubt it.
