Chapter 707: The Two Great Strategists Meet the Lord
At least from Cao Cao's point of view, the talents in the world, if you really kill one, there will be one less. Especially a talent like Tian Feng, although his character is indeed too upright, he has to admit his talent. So if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't be used for himself, and his personality really didn't like Cao Cao, Cao Cao really didn't want to kill him like that. Didn't Cao Cao persuade him for a long time before he let him attach himself to him.
But what Cao Cao did after the most Lu Cao was indeed okay, at least he left a whole corpse for Tian Feng. He didn't let the soldiers directly push Tian Feng out of the body to behead him, but said that he would be hanged to death, so that of course Tian Feng would not be divided into two corpses, so Cao Cao left him a whole corpse, in fact, this is also an alternative kind of respect.
The most unexpectedly Tian Feng was hanged to death, and he completed his life in the past few decades. Tian Fengqi is a person, and his talent is there, but the destruction is ruined by his character, so in fact, he also knows his own character, but some things can't be changed, so there is really no way. Other people are like that, what else can they do?
And the soldier came to report that Tian Feng had been hanged, Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, "Let's bury his person alive!" ”
"No!"
Tian Feng is a native of Julu in Jizhou, but Cao Cao is too late to let people go to Julu, after all, that place is strictly guarded by the Jizhou army. And for me now, taking Yecheng in Wei County is the most important thing. So at this time, Tian Feng can only be buried in Wei County, no matter what, the giant deer in Wei County is the place of Jizhou, and for Tian Feng, it is not a foreign country, so Cao Cao thinks that it is okay to do so-
And before an hour after Tian Feng's death, Xun You and Cheng Yu came to their lord's Chinese army tent together. Come to Cao Cao. The two of them had heard that their lord had seen Fu Gong and Tian Toyoda Yuan Hao in the big tent. Fu Zhu actually took refuge in himself and joined the Yanzhou army, but Tian Feng was killed by his own lord without an accident. Of course, this is also Tian Feng, who is bent on death, and after being captured by his own side, it can be seen that he is not ready to live anymore. Just waiting for this day.
Cao Cao saw that it was the two major strategists under his account, and he came to see him together. He knew that there was something going on here, or they wouldn't have come at this time.
The two met their lord in the big tent. After the salute, Cao Cao asked the two to sit down first. The two thanked each other.
At this time, Cao Cao asked the two: "Gongda, Zhongde." Isn't there anything important that you can't do here? ”
The two major strategists came to find him together, and if he wanted to say that there was nothing wrong, Cao Cao himself didn't believe it. If there is nothing to do, can it still be a small talk? Although the two of them are the military advisors of the Yanzhou Army, they are definitely in charge of a lot of things. So when they came to see themselves, there was something, and if they hadn't been summoned by themselves, they would never have come easily. This is all together.
As soon as they heard their lord's words, Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and then heard Xun You say: "The lord is no longer under house arrest?" ”
When Cao Cao heard it, it seemed that it was related to frustration, anyway, this matter is not a secret, isn't it only about an hour, don't Xun You and Cheng Yu know the way. As for Cao Cao, there is nothing that can't be said, not to mention that the two of them are his henchmen, so he smiled, "What Gongda said is good, and he has already defected to our army, so of course he can't act like before!" ”
In fact, what Cao Cao said is indeed reasonable, you said that people have already said that they have taken refuge in you, so of course you can no longer treat people as enemies and prisoners, after all, the identity has changed, so the natural treatment has also changed.
As a result, after Cao Cao finished speaking, he found that Xun You and Cheng Yu were both frowning slightly, Cao Cao looked at it, could it be that he did something wrong? No, if you can't use such a talent, that's not right.
So he asked directly, "Gongda, Zhongde, who are you?" ”
Cheng Yu asked at this time: "Dare to ask the lord, can you tell Gongda and his subordinates about the previous persuasion of the frustrated prince in the account?" ”
Cao Cao smiled, this is not something that can't be said, it's just to delay some hours, so from beginning to end, almost nothing was left behind, and he told the two of them-
As a result, when Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the two of them again, and his brows furrowed even deeper. Xun You and Cheng Yu glanced at each other again, and they both saw something in each other's eyes.
Cao Cao looked at it and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong here?" ”
Xun You shook his head, "Lord, there is nothing wrong with the lord going to persuade the frustrated prince and others today. However, if the frustrated prince and others agreed to the lord so easily, then it is estimated that there must be some problems here! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he also thought about it at this time, yes, he just cared about letting the frustrated people join his account, but he didn't think about it anymore, in case this ......
Although the frustrated person said that he had taken refuge in himself, could he really believe him? I didn't think much about it before, but now I have to think about it. And because Cao Cao was reminded by the two great strategists, if he couldn't think of these at this time, it would be too inferior. How can you say that Cao Cao is the overlord of the world, or a traitor in troubled times, is that something that ordinary people can compare?
This time, Cao Cao understood that he was proud of his patronage before, but he really got carried away. If it weren't for his own adviser to remind him, he probably wouldn't have thought of it at this time.
At this time, he asked the two of them: "So at this time, what should I do, do you still want to put the frustrated prince with the ......?"
Cao Cao's meaning is obvious, whether he still has to give frustration to house arrest, or he may take the opportunity to escape.
As a result, as soon as they heard their father-in-law say this, Xun You and Cheng Yu both shook their heads at this time. Cheng Yu said: "Lord, I don't know if the lord wants a frustrated prince who can really contribute to our army, or does he want a walking corpse?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he really didn't understand, "This, what does Zhongde mean?" ”
Cheng Yu said: "The lord is a 'fan of the authorities', and the reason why his subordinates ask the lord so much is because if our army puts him under house arrest again, or sends someone to spy on him in secret." so that the people cannot escape. Or if there is any change, we will put him under house arrest again, in which case all we can get is nothing more than a walking corpse. Even after the worst of them, his people could not see the hope of returning to the Jizhou army. Maybe it will end up like Tian Toyoda Yuanhao! ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Because Cheng Yu's words make sense, think about it, it seems to be true. If I am frustrated, I guess I will have to do this in the end.
"So what Zhongde means?"
"My lord, if you want to really belong to our army, then you must let him die to the Jizhou army and Yuan Benchu. As for why he wanted to deceive the lord. The lord is naturally very clear, that is, he still has great hopes for Yuan Benchu and the Jizhou army, so this is the case! ”
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Xun Yu also hurriedly said: "Not bad." My lord, what Zhong De said is very true! The reason why he wants to return to escape from our army camp and run back to Yecheng is not because he is still a 'fan of the authorities', and he still has hope for Yuan Benchu. So we just need to find a way to make him chill because of Yuan Benchu's actions, then even if he is a person who is loyal to Yuan Benchu, he will have to die in the end! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, the two of them said very reasonably, and this matter seems to be like this. If you can really let the Yanzhou army that is frustrated and attached to you, then the first thing is to make it completely dead to Yuan Benchu and the Jizhou army. Even if he still has a bit of luck with Yuan Benchu and Jizhou Army, thinking that he has something to say, Yuan Benchu can still accept it, then he will not belong to his own side-
There was a brief silence in the big tent, and after a long while, Cao Cao said to the two: "But I don't know what good countermeasures the two of you can have, so that the frustrated prince and the army can join us?" ”
For Cao Cao, he has to value talent. After all, what is the basis for fighting for the world now, talent must be indispensable, in Cao Cao's opinion, the talent on his side does not seem to be much stronger than Ma Chao's. Because of the talents who can be used on his side, there are Xun Yu, Xun You's uncles and nephews, and Cheng Yu, and Wu Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Cao Ren and others.
But what about the Liangzhou Army, it can't be underestimated, there are Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, this is a person who knows the name of the Dao, a more famous person, but is there a talent who doesn't know the Dao himself, and now the reputation is not obvious. Cao Cao thinks that there are still some, but at this time they have not yet emerged. As for the generals, there are also Cui An, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and there must be other people who they don't know very well, so they don't have to have more Liangzhou troops in terms of the number of talents.
Therefore, Cao Cao must pay special attention to talents, after all, to fight for the world, can there be no talent to help him, it is impossible. And the simplest truth, one more talent, is to increase the strength of oneself, this Cao Cao still doesn't understand-
To be honest, the two of them really don't have a particularly good way to deal with what their lord asked, after all, this is really not that easy.
I only heard Xun You say: "Lord, presumably the lord should know that the best way to do it now is to let him go back to Yecheng in person, and let him see how Yuan Benchu, who he still has hope, treats him." However, in this case, it is estimated that after the people return to Yecheng, it is almost impossible to come back. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he said in his heart that it was the same, and he sighed in his heart. If Fu Zhu really returned to Yecheng, then what was waiting for him was Yuan Shao's order to kill him. And at that time, even if he was able to pass through the sky, even if he was completely dead to Yuan Benchu, he couldn't escape Yecheng. After all, that place is not something that a person can enter and exit if he wants.
"Is there no other way?"
Xun You said: "Lord, it's not nothing, it's just this, but it may not be possible?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, for him, on the battlefield, the two armies faced each other, there was no 100% strategy to win, no matter how sure he was, as long as there were other methods, then he could give it a try, and the big deal was just failure. It's not that Cao Cao can't accept defeat, it's just that he wants to hear Xun You's strategy first. (To be continued......)
