Chapter 268: Allies

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the two great heroes in history, both directly or indirectly found Cao Xing's troubles.

Cao Xing also felt quite pressured, after all, compared with these two people in history, he seemed to be a step behind, how to solve such a crisis? However, when Cao Xuan looked at Che Wu's inquiring gaze and Xiao Man's concerned gaze, Cao Xuan finally smiled, he picked up the paper and pen, and slowly wrote down the questions in his mind one by one.

In an instant, all the problems faced by Cao Xing were listed.

Immediately, Cao Xuan asked Xiao Man to inform Jia Xu, Xiao Man saw that Cao Xuan was so anxious, and did not hesitate, directly put down the tea in his hand, and walked out in an instant.

It didn't take long for Cao Xing and Che Wu to come to the living room, and Jia Xu had already arrived.

After Jia Xu looked at the questions listed by Cao Xuan, he nodded indifferently, then looked at Cao Xuan and said, "Lord, I also know what you mean." Looking at today's heroes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are two figures that cannot be underestimated, but they are not incompatible! ”

Cao Xing nodded when he heard this, first of all, he must affirm that even if Yuan Shao's reputation is very high, even if Cao Cao's ability is very strong. But they are men and not gods after all, and since that is the case, they are not unhackable.

And at this moment, Jia Xu also spread out the map, squinted at the map, and then kept drawing his fingers on the map and said: "Bingzhou came to the bitter cold land before this, but under the governance of the lord, it has become rich, and the soldiers are full of food, I believe this, the princes of the world are obvious to all, so the lord, don't be too arrogant, maybe your reputation at the moment has spread very well in the world!" ”

Cao Xing smiled faintly when he heard this, and then arched his hand to Jia Xu and said: "It's just some false names, I don't care, but the situation in front of me, please ask Mr. to teach me how to crack it!" ”

"Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zhan, even if Yuan Shao was strong, he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, he was really afraid that when he was fighting Gongsun Zhan, there would be problems in his south, so he finally united with Cao Cao!"

Cao Xuan squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, and after a while, he blurted out: "What does Mr. mean, are you asking me to make friends from afar?" ”

Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "This Yuan Shao is looking for allies, if there is an ally, he can not only help himself defend against foreign enemies, but also reassure himself, since this is the case, why not follow them!" ”

It's true that a good ally can get you more done with less, but if you meet an ally like a pig, it can also give you a headache.

Cao Xing set his eyes on the map, now is the time when the division of the heroes is the most serious, and it is also the time when the war in the world is in full swing, and Cao Xing marked on the map There are not many princes' territories.

Cao Xing's eyes, looking left and right, in the end it was still difficult to make up his mind, the people he was dealing with now were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the princes who could contain the two of them seemed to be not many, such as Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had occupied Chang'an at the moment.

They occupy the area of Sili, and they are only one step away from Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and if they want, they can send troops to attack Yanzhou at any time.

But then again, Cao Xing didn't dare to have any compliments for these two people, not to mention their bad deeds in history, let's just say that with the military talents of the two of them, they can be compared with Cao Cao? What's more, the two of them defeated Lu Bu before and killed Wang Yun, and it is estimated that they are still complacent.

Every day, Emperor Han Xian and the court are played between applause, where is the mood to fight?

Cao Xuan looked to the east again, and saw Yuan Shu again, Runan occupied a place in Runan, Runan is a rich township, and the ministers and soldiers in Yuan Shao's hands may not be worse than Yuan Shao's, but Cao Xing also knows that Yuan Shu is very ambitious, but he is also very unreliable, because as an ally, he is careful to be pushed into the fire pit by him, so for this Yuan Shu, Cao Xuan only shook his head helplessly in the end.

Cao Xing searched and searched, but did not find a suitable candidate, and finally could only look at Jia Xu with a wry smile helplessly, and tell Jia Xu all the thoughts in his heart.

However, after Jia Xu heard this, he touched his beard and smiled: "Lord, although these people you mentioned can contain Cao Cao or Yuan Shao for a while, but it is not for long, I think we should take a more long-term view!" ”

"What does Mr. Yi mean......" Cao Xuan asked with some uncertainty.

I saw that Jia Xu finally put his hand in a position, and Cao Xing also looked at it intently, and the place Jia Xu pointed to was actually Jiangdong.

"I think Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian will be a good ally of the lord, which is also in line with the strategy of aiding distant friends and attacking closely!"

Jiangdong is located in the southeast of the Central Plains, where it is the land of fish and rice, although the territory is vast and the population is rich, but it cannot be played with the center of the Central Plains, is there something inappropriate with the alliance with Sun Jian?

In the face of this kind of question, Jia Xu also slowly expressed his opinion, and the alliance with Jiangdong will inevitably be pulled on Sun Jian's head.

Regarding Sun Jian, Jia Xu directly admitted that he had studied this person a long time ago, Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and his form and style are as fast as a tiger, and he is eclectic.

When the princes of the Nineteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, in Jia Xu's view, there were only two people who really devoted themselves to Han, one was Cao Cao, and the other was Sun Jian, but Cao Cao's strength was weak at that time, so he was defeated by Dong Zhuo one after another, but this Sun Jian was different.

Although he is the same age as Cao Cao, but others were born in poverty, relying on their own strength to work hard step by step to today's position, so at that time Sun Jian's strength was basically mature, if it weren't for Yuan Shu and others to make trouble outside and disturb Sun Jian's strength, otherwise, Sun Jian would really be able to break through Luoyang, capture Dong Zhuo alive, and leave a name in history.

"This person has a strong temperament, he is righteous, I have observed him for a long time, since he arrived in Jiangdong, he has also begun to strengthen his own power, but he is upright, hearing that the jade seal is in the hands of Yuan Shu, he directly fell out with Yuan Shu and the two, and started a new stove, occupied Wu County, and killed Yan Baihu and others, for the orders of those above him, at this moment he also became obedient and did not listen to the announcement, after all, in his opinion, the current Han Dynasty has existed in name only, and if you want to protect yourself, you can only continue to strengthen yourself!"

Jia Xu's fingers kept comparing along the map: "Jiangdong is a good place because of the Yangtze River, which is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also has its limitations, that is, it is close to the south, and there are not many war horses!" So it's hard to get in, and it's hard to get out! ”

Hearing Jia Xu say this, Cao Xing's eyes gradually brightened. Indeed, the reason why the Three Kingdoms were formed in history, and Cao, Sun and Liu divided the world into three parts, was not only because of the situation, but in fact, Cao Xing believed that there was a more serious reason, that is, because of regional problems.

Cao Cao is in the north, and most of his subordinates are cavalry, and it is a sweep on the battlefield, so Cao Cao's power is the largest, which is also very normal.

However, even if Cao Cao has a large number of cavalry, there is no way to deal with Jiangdong, after all, others have the Yangtze River, and Cao Cao's people are basically soldiers from the north, and they are uncomfortable with water.

As soon as they set foot on the Yangtze River, they began to have all kinds of diseases, so they couldn't even get through the Yangtze River natural danger, let alone attack Jiangdong, and as for Yizhou, it was even more dangerous in the mountains and mountains.

On the steep mountain wall, the cavalry can be said to have completely lost its role, and only relied on the infantry to keep climbing, but the other Liu Bei relied on his preconceived advantage to stand directly on the steep cliff, and the condescending archery can put you at a disadvantage in an instant.

Sun Jian in history was a hero, but Cao Xing came to this world and saved Sun Jian from a disaster of being shot.

Therefore, if Sun Jian wants to get out of Jiangdong, he may not be able to rely on Jiangdong's soldiers alone, so Jia Xu provided Sun Jian with an opportunity, that is, to continue to go up along the Yangtze River, and finally to Hefei, and then go ashore to attack Yanzhou, if he is lucky, Sun Jian can really tear off a piece of meat in the Central Plains.

For this piece of fat, I believe Sun Jian must like it. Thinking of this, Cao Xing's heart was a little moved, although it seems to be a good way to unite with Sun Jian, but a new problem has arisen, now that the plan has been set, who should be sent to implement it?

At this moment, Jia Xu smiled and arched his hand to Cao Xu, and Cao Xu also understood what Jia Xu meant. Cao Xuan thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, although the distance to go at the moment is a little far, but now Cao Xing's subordinates can take on this great responsibility, and it is Jia Xu alone. What's more, Jia Xu's greatest ability is not his strategy, but his insight into people's hearts.

Since Jia Xu was so interested in this Sun Jian from the beginning, he had long been secretly observing his every move at the moment, and constantly evaluating him in his heart, it shows that Jia Xu must have some confidence in Sun Jian, and it would be better to send him there.

However, if everything is only handed over to his subordinates to do, Cao Xing still has some regrets in his heart, after all, if the person who is the lord does nothing, the people below will only continue to follow suit, and then it will be the moment of real destruction, so Cao Xuan must also move.

Cao Xing didn't have much to say about Yuan Shao's guy, and directly gave Xu Shu stationed in the east a death order, no matter what, he must stop Yuan Shao's progress, and it won't be long before he will come to the battlefield in person and fight with this Yuan Benchu.

However, before that, Cao Xing still set his sights on Cao Cao, after all, the news from Sun Jian's side is estimated to wait for a while, but it is urgent to solve Cao Cao's problem.

Cao Cao wanted to go north to fight and merge states, to put it bluntly, it was not because of Cao Xing, nor because of Zhang Yang, but because of Lu Bu, since Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an by Li Dao Guo Yan, he first defected to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was quite suspicious of Lu Bu and refused to reuse Lu Bu, Lu Bu couldn't stand this, so he came to find Zhang Yang.

Perhaps because of Lu Bu's domineering, Cao Cao finally couldn't get used to Lu Bu and was ready to clean up Lu Bu together. However, Lu Bu is the number one military general in the world, how can it be so easy to defeat him, Cao He and Lu Bu are also close friends, and Cao Xing will come forward to help both in public and private.

So, Cao Xing quietly took a team of people and went to the direction of Shangtang, and finally met Lu Bu somewhere, at this moment Lu Bu's face was also a lot of melancholy, although he had a good relationship with Zhang Yang, in the face of Cao Cao's threat, Zhang Yang did not abandon Lu Bu, but Lu Bu still felt quite a headache at the moment, after all, the person he was facing was Cao Cao.

As soon as Cao Xing came, he said to Lu Bu straight to the point, he was willing to help Lu Bu and let Lu Bu not give up, since this Cao Cao wanted to play, then play with him.

As for the issue of funds and food, if Lu Bu needed to say something, Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing so generous, and Lu Bu's fighting spirit was instantly rekindled.

Cao Xing immediately asked Chen Hu to send all the military rations and money he brought to Lu Bu's hands, and looking at these materials, Lu Bu was also very excited, and immediately deployed his subordinate Zhang Liao Gaoshun to recruit troops and deploy everything, he wanted to fight back against Cao Cao.

In this way, on a dark and windy night in the moon, Lu Bu directly took the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by him and entered Yanzhou by surprise, directly catching Cao Cao by surprise.

In the past, Cao Cao had been pressing others Lu Bu to fight, but Lu Bu's counterattack was very fierce, so Cao Cao had to put all his main thoughts on Lu Bu.

Cao Cao also thought about whether he could launch a one-time battle and directly kill Lu Bu, the tiger, but unfortunately he underestimated Lu Bu after all, although Lu Bu said that he had a bit of a problem with his personality, but the name of the first military general in the world could be placed there, whenever he met a soldier, Lu Bu was sensitive to the fighter or grasped the battlefield, it was a first-class level.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao sent generals to challenge one after another, but in the end they all ended in failure, and Lu Bu wandered around Yanzhou, attacking cities everywhere and invading grain, directly beating Cao Cao miserable.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, the crisis on these two sides does not seem to be so tricky, but Cao Xuan also knows that the matter is far from over, since Cao Cao's troops are now temporarily blocked, then it is time to solve Yuan Shao's problem.

Therefore, during this period of time, Cao Xing can be said to have no rest, and he is constantly dealing with military and political affairs.

Now that Cao Xing has issued one order after another, he directly asked Chen Hu Zhongqi and the others to get ready, and the troops are ready to move to the east of the target, and he has to go and meet Yuan Shao in person for a while, otherwise the state will never be at peace.

After solving all this, Cao Xuan dragged his tired body back to his mansion, but as soon as he returned to his mansion, Cao Xuan thought of some of his potions, which didn't seem to have been made yet.
