Chapter 170: Cao Cao's Plans

Yeonjin!

Recently, it has become more lively, and people keep coming here.

The reason is that someone has openly raised a banner here to recruit righteous people.

The heroes of the surrounding counties heard about it and came in groups.

"I wonder if they will cross the river from here?"

It turned out that the banner was set up here was Cao Cao, and after he heard about the imperial court's requisition order, he took Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and others from Qiaoxian County, as well as hundreds of Cao's disciples to the north and annexed the state.

Of course, some people will ask, didn't Cao Cao become the minister of state in Jinan, Qingzhou?

How can you return to the county?

It turned out that Cao Cao's method of learning Xu Ding was popular in Jinan University, and naturally he also offended all the families there.

These families were obedient on the surface, secretly colluded, united with the magnates in Luoyang, and put pressure on Cao Cao, openly and secretly making trouble for him.

You must know that Cao Cao offended many people by killing the powerful in Luoyang back then.

Cao Cao couldn't bear it for a long time, and he was a little disheartened, so he resigned and went home after being the prime minister of Jinan for half a year.

Back at the Cao family, Cao Cao began to learn from Xu Ding's practice, greatly expanded the Cao family's power, and actively developed the Cao family's armed forces, so he recruited a large number of diners and rangers and gathered elites.

And in Yanjin, he also learned from Xu Ding, he heard that Xu Ding was looking for talents every time he went to a place, Corporal Lixian, so he also recruited talents from Chen Liujun and Liang Guo in the name of contributing to the country and going north to conquer the captives.

"Lord, if you want to come to Weihaihou to cross the river from here, it is eight or nine to cross the river, if he crosses the river from the Gaotang Kezhi Cangting, he will inevitably go to Jizhou, which is not in line with his character." A young scribe continued.

Cao Cao looked at this person, this person's name is Cheng Shu, the name is Wei'an, he is 20 years old, he is a person from the Liang State, and he is a strategist who received him halfway.

Listening to his words and looking at his person, Cao Cao found that although this person was young, he had a strategy, so he paid more attention to him.

So he asked, "Why have you also studied Berkang and understood his style?" ”

Cheng Shu Banmi looked at it and said: "Lord, the Marquis of Weihai has always acted with a plan, never doing anything without a plan, the world calls him unparalleled in strategy and invincible, in fact, there is a reason for this." ”

Cao Cao bowed slightly, waiting for Cheng Shu to continue.

Others listened quietly to Cheng Shu's analysis.

"There is one thing that Weihaihou is incomparable to the people of the world, which has become his invincible weapon, and that is erudition." Speaking of this, Cheng Shu paused again, and the others were thoughtful, but they were still a little confused, and then Cheng Shu said:

"Weihai Hou is erudite, so he can compete in poetry and literature; Weihai Hou is erudite, so he covers the world; Weihai Hou is erudite, so he knows astronomy and geography, and Weihai Hou is erudite so he knows the art of war; Weihai Hou is erudite, so he can govern the place well, and he has a strategy.

Take the burning of the Changshe as an example, if Weihai does not know astronomy and geography, knows the change of wind direction, and does not know the art of war, it can predict that the enemy will be the first to repeatedly kill the enemy generals.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and a person like Weihaihou who will lay out in advance will definitely enter and merge from Hanoi County, because he has been to Jizhou and has a basic understanding of there, so he will not waste the opportunity to go there. ”

In the face of Cheng Shu's eloquent talk, everyone couldn't help but be convinced, and it seemed to make sense.

Cao Cao himself nodded frequently, especially when he realized the meaning of Cheng Shu's last sentence.

A noun popped into my head.

Gather geographic intelligence.

All the key points of Chengshu are actually talking about this.

This is the key, and he concluded that the purpose of Xu Ding's inevitable crossing of the river through Yeonjin was to collect the geographical situation of this part of Hanoi in advance.

If Xu Ding is here, when he hears Cheng Shu's words, he will inevitably shout.

I definitely didn't think that there was such a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms who did not leave a name in history, and he could guess his intentions.

For the most taboo map cannon for the handsome.

The battlefield is a combination of time, place, and people, and the situation in each place is different, and the understanding of geography can help to plan well for the generals in advance.

Don't talk about the bloody lessons of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression of a certain party in later generations, let's talk about the Three Kingdoms and the Warring States, there are Ma Jian and Zhao Kuozhi who talk about soldiers on paper, map artillery, and the scourge is not shallow.

Therefore, Xu Ding naturally likes to travel thousands of miles, travel all over the Han Dynasty, and understand the geographical situation of various places clearly.

That's right, he has been to Jizhou and has a basic understanding of the situation in that area, so he chose to cross the river from Yanjin to Huguan from Hanoi to Bingzhou, so that he can understand the situation in Hanoi County, Shangdang County, Taiyuan County and other places, and make reference for future planning.

Even quietly draw a map.

"I see, no wonder Berkang is so powerful." Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and others suddenly realized.

Then they looked at Cao Cao expectantly.

As their eldest brother, Cao Cao never lacked courage and courage, let alone temperament and wisdom.

Xu Ding can do it, and I believe that his eldest brother can too.

Cheng Shu's analysis was in place, but Cao Cao still said a little uncomfortably: "There is only one Bo Kang in the world, even if someone can imitate him, he will not be able to become him, we have to learn Bo Kang's things, but there are some that we still have to choose from person to person." ”

"What the eldest brother said is very true." Everyone in the Cao family and the Xiahou family replied when they heard this.

Cheng Shu and the others said: "The lord is wise! ”

Since there was a chance that Xu Ding would cross the river in Yanjin with the ninth layer, Cao Cao was relieved and was about to speak, when he heard a few noises not far away.

"Who is Cao Cao? Not interested! ”

It turned out that Tian Yu came to Yanjin, but he was mistaken by Cao Cao's diners for Cao Cao's family, so he received him warmly.

Then Tian Yu, who had not yet gone far away, and who regarded himself very high and proud, refuted ruthlessly.

God is pitiful, he really doesn't know Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's reputation at this time was limited to the vicinity of Luoyang and Jinan and his hometown of Qian County, except for some big families in other places, there were really not many people who knew him.

So Cao Cao's character was ignored by Tian Yu.

Finally arrived in Yanjin in advance, Tian Yu was extremely tired and wanted to find a quiet place to rest, so he hated these guys who took the initiative to ask questions.

"Boy, what did you say?"

A certain Cao family's diner was a little unhappy, and muttered roughly: "You dare to ignore my lord like this, boy, did you come here on purpose to find trouble." ”

"Apologize boy."

Others chimed in.

They were in Yanjin to recruit righteous men for Cao Cao, and the heroes around them came to join them and prepared to follow them to kill the enemy, but they ran out of a boy who didn't have any hair, and he thought it was a character, but he despised them.

"Apologize, say to your sister!"

Tian Yu rolled his eyes angrily, and then walked away.

He is the first martial artist in Yuyang, and it is ridiculous that he wants him to apologize.

And he's not wrong.

Who is Cao Cao?

Hell knows!

"Zheng!"

A long sword came out of its sheath, and with a soft roar, it landed five inches in front of Tian Yu's chest.
