Chapter 5 The Idealism of the World Forty-three, the mastermind returns to Cao
Although the crowd flowed in all directions, the command sounded, and the obstacles were broken.
Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xu County.
This is the inner city, that is, the southeast corner of the imperial city, where Emperor Liu Xieren of the Han Dynasty set up a department - the Han Emperor's pro-unified subordinates, the new Yefeng General Hall.
Just entered the imperial city, it can no longer be called this name, under the instruction of Liu Xie, the night feng gathered from all directions was unified into a unit by the four sages here - Han Feng Battalion.
And their functions are not much different from before, but now they are personally instructed by Liu Xie.
Since the establishment of the capital, many wealthy merchants, merchants and exiles have begun to migrate to Xuxian County, which has greatly increased the population here.
In the end, Liu Xie decided to change the name of Xu County to Xu Capital.
……
Today should be a very happy day for Cao Cao, because someone has finally arrived.
He is Xun Yu who Cao Ren and Lu Yuan rescued from the duel between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo before.
After Xun You was rescued, he has been at home at home. He wanted to hide for a while, but he had no choice but to become famous, and the government recruited him again.
According to his own plan, he originally planned to hide in Shu County as a taishou and stay away from disputes, but later because of the rampant bandits and impassable roads, he had to stay in Jingzhou.
Cao Cao had instructed Xun Yu to ask him what he meant, but Xun Yu kept shirking it.
Cao Cao had no choice but to write him a letter himself.
Maybe what moved Xun You was Cao Cao's bearing, Xun You finally came.
And now, Cao Cao is talking to him......
"Hehe, Gongda made me wait so hard."
"It's not a rotten Confucian, and it is a great favor for General Cao to rescue him a while ago. How can you come here to talk about empty theories? ”
"Why should Gongda be too humble? Plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo is already a heroic act. ”
"Hehe, if you talk about this, General Cao, who stabbed Dong, will go down in history."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
People with big ambitions like them only laugh at this feat, which has become a thing of the past.
"Since Gongda is willing to come, it is the luck of Cao and the luck of the Han, so Cao will not talk about it much. Now that the princes of the four directions have risen together, and the lives of the people are devastated, what good strategies can Gongda teach me? ”
"Although there are many princes in the world, how many people are enough to compete for the general? Gongsun Chan was already weak, and he would soon be destroyed; Lu Bu is brave, even if he has the wisdom of Chen Gong, he can only protect the realm of Xuzhou; Yuan Shu is arrogant, greedy and short-sighted, honest and not afraid; Although Sun Ce built a business in Jiangdong, his foundation was not stable, and he was able to gain peace with the momentum of killing? Although Ma Teng is brave, he is cool and remote, and he will not send troops at will; Liu Biao's ambition has declined, and he only knows how to defend himself. Today, the only person who can compete with the general is Yuan Shaoye. ”
After Xun You finished speaking, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
This person keeps saying that he is idle and has no interest in the world, but he is actually paying attention to the world all the time.
"Yuan Shao's soldiers are brave and brave, if he destroys Gongsun Zhan, then the land of Hebei belongs to it. If at that time, he will go south and attack, I don't know what Gongda's high opinion is? ”
"You have heard that before the Bishui Pass, the general and Yuan Shao also discussed this matter?"
Yes, a person with a long-term vision, even if there is a hero in front of him at that time, he can still see the world and the future.
The scene of that year resurfaced in front of Cao Cao's eyes.
"Yes, the scene of the year is still in front of me. It's just that over the years, Yuan Shao's words have gradually come true, and Cao is ashamed, but he has not made great progress. ”
"Not really. Although Yuan Shao understands military strategy, he does not know how to employ people. Although the general is weak today, the military generals use their lives and the ministers do their best, which Yuan Shao cannot compare with at any time. ”
"Oh? Please also make it clear. ”
"In this case, it is for the general's sake. At this time, the general has three strategies to choose from. ”
"What are the three strategies?"
"The best policy, the west of Sizhou, the middle of Yan, Henan, the east of Xuzhou, vertical and horizontal to block the Hebei soldiers, and then the elite soldiers, and one of the duels; Zhongce, unite with Lu Bu, tie up with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, make an alliance, and jointly resist Yuan Shao; Make a decision, stabilize the state and county, form a good alliance with Yuan Shao, and when he goes south, he will be allied with him, and the princes may take the opportunity to seize the state and county. ”
"Hahahaha, Gongda really has a far-reaching plan!" Cao Cao laughed.
"I see." Xun You saw Cao Cao's reaction, and he already understood, "The general has great ambitions. ”
One expression will tell the answer.
If Cao Cao chooses to make a decision, it means that the emperor may have to move the capital to Hebei, and at that time, he will only be a subordinate of Yuan Shao. If that were the case, Cao Cao wouldn't have laughed.
And choosing the middle strategy, although it can also protect the state and county and fight against Yuan Shao, it also proves from the side that relying on him Cao Cao alone is not enough to compete with Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao will not laugh either.
Then the answer is very clear, Cao Cao will definitely take the best policy.
And this is also what Xun You is looking forward to.
And the land of Si, Henan, Yan and Xu, one of them intimidates the princes of the world, and the other can become an encirclement trend, and then defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and occupy Hebei, then the land of the world has been one of the three.
At that time, Cao Cao can wave his army south, sweep Jiangdong and Jingnan, and then take advantage of the situation to take west, and then he can level the world.
After the two laughed, Cao Cao asked again: "Gongda speculates, how many years is there to fight against Yuan Shaozhi?" ”
"Three years at most. If Gongsun Chan can connect with foreign clans, he can still compete with Yuan Shao. But now, he has built a building to defend himself, and his defeat is decided. The reason why Yuan Shao did not destroy him was because Gongsun Zhan still had the strength to fight, and Yuan Shao was afraid of a decisive battle with him, even if he could win, he would be too injured and would not be conducive to his southward attack. Moreover, the territory he plundered Gongsun Chan was not yet stable, and if there were internal changes, it would be difficult for him to deal with it, so he was now accumulating strength. However, it is conceivable that the day of Gongsun Zhan's defeat was when he Yuan Shao went south. ”
"If so, what should Cao do now?"
"At present, the general should only raise soldiers and accumulate grain and grass, and if he wants to send troops, he must prepare for sufficient days."
"Nalu Bu ......"
"Lu Bu has few soldiers now, and he is in a worrying situation. Not to mention that there is one Liu Bei in its territory, just the two Yuan in the north and south are enough to make him have no time to take care of anything else. I heard from my uncle that the general's plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf has already caused Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to mobilize troops? ”
"Yes."
"It's a good plan, but it's still a mistake."
"Oh?"
"The two of them turned against each other, which was naturally beneficial to the general. It's just that Lu Bu can be defeated, but he can't die. ”
"Gongda is afraid that if Eryuan colludes, it will be difficult to do it?"
"Yes, with the general's current strength, he can't deal with the two of them. It is conceivable that if the two Yuan are connected, Liu Bei will inevitably rebel. Therefore, what should be done, presumably the military already knows. ”
"Thank you Gongda for your teachings. Cao is not talented, so please ask Gongda to stay in Xudu and be taught sooner or later. ”
"General Meng will not give up, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses."
……
While Cao Cao and Xun You were talking freely in the house, the two people sitting in the courtyard were talking about completely different topics.
"Isn't your uncle afraid of being compared to his nephew?" Guo Jia opened his chest and poked Xun Yu with his fingers while drinking.
"I think you're afraid that your talent will be covered." Xun Yu was annoyed and moved to the side.
"Oh, if that's the case, I'm even happier." Guo Jia actually chased after him, leaning back to Xun Yu and laughing.
"Your scoundrel behavior is becoming more and more like ......" Halfway through the words, Xun Yu stopped talking.
Guo Jia also restrained his smile.
"I really don't know how fortunate and unfortunate it is that compared to him, people like you and me who live under a clear and clear sky are ...... lucky."
Looking at the clouds in the sky, Guo Jia sighed lightly.
————————————————
They didn't know that the person they were talking about at the moment was being hunted down all over the city......
……
Without Ling Yuan's medicine, it would be much more difficult for Duan Xuan to go out.
Eventually, though, he decided to take a gamble.
Due to the inventory at the city gates, the queues out of the city were discharged far away. However, this is just ordinary people, and people with status in the city naturally don't need it.
The soldiers at the gate of the city saw the carriage of the wealthy Ding family in the city.
This person was befriended by Lu Bu after he entered the city, and under the combination of grace and power, he has been providing some military salaries to Lu Bu's army. Because of this, Lu Bu also took care of his subordinates, and tried not to trouble others if he had nothing to do.
But today the situation was exceptional, and the soldiers at the city gate had to stop his car.
"What's the matter~" Master Ding pulled the curtain with his hand and poked his head out.
"Master Ding, the little one is also acting on orders, there are assassins in the city, anyone who goes out of the city has to be searched, and I hope that Master Ding will make it convenient."
"Search? Search! Search! It's my concubine in the car, should you see it! Master Ding looked angry.
Only then did the soldier notice that it was no wonder that the old man Ding wanted to pull the curtain with his hand, and his arms were bare.
There is no need to ask, it is conceivable whether the concubine in the car has clothes on her.
The "......" soldier was finally a little embarrassed.
"Ugh." Master Ding also saw his predicament, and motioned to the coachman to give him some money, "Buy some wine and drink, the master invited me." ”
The soldier reluctantly took the silver, waved at his companion behind him, and let Ding's carriage out of the city.
If the soldier looked closely, he could notice that Master Ding's hand was shaking all the time.
The soldier at the city gate guessed well, this old man Ding and his concubine were indeed undressed. It's just that next to his naked concubine, there is also an Uncle Duan who is holding a dagger against Master Ding.
This is why Master Ding will give some money today.
On weekdays, he would definitely shout and shout, and finally bring in a general to theorize.
But he didn't dare today, if he did that, he didn't know what would happen to the wicked people around him, but he himself would definitely become a waste.
……
Far away from the city, there was no one in the four fields, Duan Xuan slowly removed the dagger that made Master Ding tremble, smiled and stepped out of the carriage.
Of course, in some ways, he is somewhat similar to Zhang Feng, and he didn't forget to entangle himself when he left.
Master Ding was shocked, hugging the concubine beside him and trembling.
"Huh!" The curtain was suddenly lifted again, and Duan Xuan's face reappeared.
Master Ding was almost scared, he thought that Duan Xuan had come back to kill him.
But Duan Xuan just looked at him, then at the concubine, and asked in a puzzled tone, "The girl is also a little bit beautiful, how could she follow this guy?" Not a good match, well, very bad. ”
After saying that, leaving the two completely stupid, Duan Xuan laughed and continued to walk west......
