Chapter 1860: Candidates for the Westward Journey
Of course, this is not surprising, as far as Chen Gong's wisdom is concerned, Cao Cao is convinced, but the other party broke out of him because of Bian Rang and Xuzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This also makes it difficult for Chen Gong to turn back, even if Cao Cao has admitted his mistake, but after all, it is "once difficult for the sea to be water", with Chen Gong's integrity, it is impossible to bow his head, and Chen Gong does not bow his head, and the possibility of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun falling to Cao Cao is incredibly low.
In addition, Lu Qiling seems to be still sticking to Zhao Yun, Cao Cao basically has no hope for these two guys, but even if he doesn't hold out hope, Cao Cao should be unwilling, or unwilling, and now there is a chance that I can't get it, don't think about it, Cao Cao is still happy to start.
"Is that so? I originally thought that Cao Gong meant that one of the three of us would come out of one person. Chen Xi said with a slight smile, and Cao Cao's face basically did not fluctuate when he heard this.
"It looks like Cao Gong won't agree, well, if General Zhang and they agree, we won't refuse." Seeing that Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, Chen Xi shook his head with a helpless look and said, "It's just that in addition to this wave, we will also send other people forward, Gong Cao, don't you send some people?" ”
Cao Cao's face was hesitant when he heard this, he was so teased by Chen Xi before, and he could not change his face, the original intention was to be ridiculed by Chen Xi, and he himself had no substantial loss, and he didn't want Chen Xi to have a time when he was unforgiving.
"I plan to send Kong Ming to the Western Regions to coordinate on my behalf, what do you think, Duke Cao?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Although Chen Gongtai is powerful, after all, someone has to be in charge. ”
Cao Cao scoffed when he heard this, although what Chen Xi said was indeed good, but in the current situation, it was indeed a bit aggressive.
But after all, Liu Bei's forces have already done this step in front of him, and if he doesn't take a step back, Cao Cao also knows that what he talked about before will basically fly.
"How is Sima Zhongda? I sent Sima Zhongda and Cao Zidan to the Western Regions. Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and then made up his mind, since it is impossible to see it, then the most correct thing to do is to find a way to stop the loss.
"Hey, that's a really good idea." Chen Xi said with a slight mockery, this time it was a real mockery, because Cao Cao's words had been too obvious, to put it bluntly, he was redeeming the piece, using Sima Yi's unstable chess piece to exchange Zhuge Liang, and then using Cao Zhen, an excellent second generation, to pull Liu Bei's more excellent second generation into the water.
"Let Wen Chang go, Wen Chang and Kong Ming cooperate tacitly, the two of them can be compared to half of the Army Soul Legion, the Western Regions is not so easy, ensure safety first." Liu Bei, who was holding tea on the side, said slowly.
"In this case, it can't just be us, Sun Bofu should also be counted." Chen Xi squinted his eyes and asked, Cao Cao hesitated and nodded, after all, they had invested so many resources, so how could Sun Ce stand on the sidelines.
"Counting Sun Bofu, how can you favor one over the other." Liu Bei's face couldn't help but have a look of other things, Chen Xi was really not cheating Cao Cao, and Sun Ce and them.
"What about the troops sent?" Chen Xi stared at Cao Cao and began to chase after him, "At least there should be a legion, otherwise, I really feel sorry." ”
Cao Cao was thinking about it, and at the same time silently summed up, for fear of being caught by Chen Xi and taking advantage of himself, but overall it was okay, at least from Cao Cao's point of view, he could block the opportunity for Chen Gong and others to take refuge in Liu Bei, and he could rely on the less stable Sima Yi and the less mature Cao Zhen to pull Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, Cao Cao actually felt that it was worth it.
[But in this case, Liu Xuande actually invested three internal qi detached bodies in the Western Regions, two wise men with spiritual talents, and even one and a half army soul legions, what is the significance of such a big investment? Cao Cao inexplicably began to think about this aspect.
"Actually, I'm curious, Zichuan, is it worth it for you to invest so much in the Western Regions?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Xi with a little concern, but Chen Xi's face was unmoved.
"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, but because I want to plan farther and longer, the Western Regions is like Baiyue in the era of the First Emperor for us now, and we obviously don't have the ability of the First Emperor's 500,000 army to be leveled." Chen Xi said with a flat expression, "And if you want to make it local, then the investment can't be small." ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, although he still felt that the investment was a bit too high, but thinking about the investment of the first emperor Ping Baiyue back then, Chen Xi's current investment is indeed nothing, and what Chen Xi is doing now is indeed a calculation for the future.
"But if you are sure to invest like this, these manpower and material resources are not a joke, if you invest like this, it is us who will be cheaper in the end." Cao Cao suddenly changed his tone and said in a smug tone, but found that Chen Xi's expression was as usual.
[Although Chen Zichuan is a man who has been arrogant, he has never lost his title of taking precautions under any circumstances, that is, he has absolute self-confidence, and he will not be used by me if he plays chess now? It's really arrogant. Cao Cao scolded in his heart.
[Hmph, are you so confident, I'm not a vegetarian either, although I lose the lead, even if I can't beat you at that time, I will definitely make it difficult for you to win. Cao Cao couldn't help but make up his mind.
"These Cao Gong don't have to worry, Cao Gong should be more concerned about how Cao Gong will deal with us in the coming year after we leave Chang'an in three months." The corners of Chen Xi's mouth were drawn upward, and he had already seen Cao Cao and Sun Ce who would have no choice but to let go next year.
"Do you think I don't know you're gathering information from all over the place? We are also taking advantage of the present to collect your intelligence, because recently we have to summon high-ranking officials from various states and counties to Chang'an for a court meeting, and it is much easier for us to collect your intelligence than before. Cao Cao said casually, and now these things are on the bright side.
"We can do three changes a day under our rule, and I believe that Xun Wenruo definitely does not have this ability, although he is indeed powerful, but he is not as good as mine in this aspect." Chen Xi spread his hands and looked indifferent, "And the more you know, the more afraid you are, sometimes ignorance is the capital to support your own fighting." ”
Cao Cao's face turned dark when he heard this, and such ridicule really made him unhappy, but Cao Cao still held back, just thinking that he had done it too darkly before, which made Chen Xi unhappy, and he didn't dig too deep, I really don't know, Chen Xi's words are not just talking, but true!
"Okay, okay, it's enough for Zichuan to run twice." Liu Bei played the round with an expressionless face, and Cao Cao's face was even more unhappy.
