Yanzhou, outside Juancheng, the autumn rain continues, and the sky and the earth are dark.

Cao Cao stood on a tombstone in a daze, looking at the blood-red words on it: The Tomb of Xi Zhicai.

Yes, Xi Zhicai died, he died very suddenly, and Cao Cao didn't have time to make any preparations, and when Cao Cao came back from the Puyang battlefield, he didn't catch up to see Xi Zhicai for the last time.

In Puyang, the battle for several days made Cao Cao lose a lot of weight, but at this time he had no intention of resting at all, his palms were still wrapped in blood-stained white cloth, he was burned in Puyang when he fell into the fire, if it wasn't for Dian Wei's life to save him, maybe now he would go to drink with his underground Bao Xin, Leyin's friends.

No one knows how long Cao Cao stood here, as if no one knew why Xi Zhicai died suddenly.

"Are you jealous of talent?" Cao Cao finally spoke, not long ago, he and Xi Zhicai made a battle plan together, born and died together, broke the yellow scarf together, forced Yuan Shu, and picked up a life from Puyang to come back, I was going to ask Xi Zhicai for the way to break the enemy, who would have thought that it was the evil news that Xi Zhicai suddenly died of illness! Everything happened so suddenly, and suddenly I didn't have time to prepare for anything!

"Cao Gong!" Xun Yu, who had a solemn face, came behind Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo, I still can't believe that Xi Zhicai is dead!" Cao Cao did not turn around, but stared at the five vigorous and powerful seal characters of "The Tomb of Xi Zhicai" and said quietly.

This is Cao Cao's handwritten words, Cao Cao's calligraphy is second only to the six great calligraphers in the world, Liang Hu, Cui Ying, Cui Shi, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Chang, and his old friend Cai Yong, who has seen Cao Cao's calligraphy, all say that his words are like his poems, majestic, atmospheric, sad.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Cai Yong was also dead, and it was even a little ridiculous to say that he died, because he sighed when he heard Dong Zhuo's death and angered Wang Yun, and was immediately ordered to be executed, and Cai Yong's personality is very clear to himself, he is a loyal and cute celebrity, cute, in front of a real confidant, loyalty, will offend many people. In ancient times, there was no shortage of such celebrities, who talked and laughed, took the world as their own responsibility, and did not hesitate to die.

Of course, he didn't know that Cai Yong was not dead, but was rescued by Gao Yi who sent Sun Jian, and blocked the news from the outside world.

"People will die!" Xun Yu looked up at the sky with his hand, and countless rains hit his face, condensing into a layer of rain and mist, "Taishi Gong said, it is either lighter than Hongmao, or heavier than Mount Tai, and the death of Xi Zhicai is heavier than Mount Tai!" ”

Xun Yu also just received the news that Sun Jian's whereabouts were unknown from Jiangxia, his mood was not much better than Cao Cao, Sun Jian was an indispensable existence of the Gao family's army, if he really had an accident, the entire Gao family's army would probably be broken.

Cao Cao didn't notice Xun Yu's expression, he said sadly, "When I received Xi Zhicai's letter from Yanzhou to recover the strategy, I vaguely felt that he would die soon, and I didn't expect that I would not be able to see the last one when I came back!" ”

"I've already seen Xi Zhicai's Yanzhou recovery strategy!" Xun Yu said, "It is an excellent strategy to recover Yanzhou as soon as possible, capture Xuzhou, lay a good foundation in the Central Plains, and then compete for hegemony in the north and southwest of Xutu!" ”

"Looks like you have no objections! It's hard to think that Mingyang is willing to send you to help me support the situation! Cao Cao said with a smile, "But Lu Bu is too strong, we can't defeat him for a while, but Xuzhou, I heard that Tao Qian just passed away, Xuzhou don't drive Mi Zhu Changshi Chen Deng led the people of the whole state to support Liu Bei to make the Xuzhou Assassin History, I lost so much money and food, but let Liu Bei choose a ready-made cheap, it's really annoying!" Anyway, Lu Bu and I are in a stalemate, and it is difficult to decide or lose for a while, so I plan to simply take advantage of Xuzhou's personnel fluctuations to attack Xuzhou three times, so that there will be grain and grass, and secondly, I will have the capital to deal with Lu Bu! It's not in vain that you can work hard! ”

"Cao Gong can't be like this!" As soon as Xun Yu heard that Cao Cao was going to be arrogant, he immediately dissuaded, "In the past, Gaozu Baoguanzhong, Guangwu was based in Hanoi, and all of them were deeply rooted in order to control the world, and only in this way can they advance enough to defeat the enemy, and retreat enough to hold on, so although there is embarrassment and disgrace, it can finally achieve the cause of the king." Cao Gong was originally the first thing in Yanzhou, and the difficulties of pacifying Shandong, the people were all satisfied. Besides, the river, Ji, the important places in the world, although it is broken now, it is not a problem to protect yourself, it is Cao Gong's Guanzhong and Hanoi, so you must not settle down first! ”

Cao Cao thoughtfully: "Go on!" ”

Xun Yu continued, "Since Lu Bu is difficult to fight, we might as well let out the wind and deliberately threaten to attack Li Feng and Xue Lan, Xi Zhicai is dead, so I will delay the military division of the soldiers and horses along the way, at that time, if Cao Gong divides his troops to attack Chen Gong in the east, Chen Gong is still too busy to take care of himself, and he will not dare to look west about Li Feng and Xue Lan!" After that, with his idle soldiers to harvest ripe wheat and eat livestock grain, Lu Bu can be broken in one fell swoop. After defeating Lu Bu, he formed a good alliance with Liu Xuan of Yangzhou in the south and jointly crusaded against Yuan Shu, at that time, Cao Gong's forces could reach the Huai and Si Er Rivers at once, and although Xuzhou was facing the sea in the east, it could also save some defense troops, but where could it compare to the two natural barriers of the Huai River and Surabaya? ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Wen Ruo really knows above me, I really want to attack Xuzhou as soon as possible and use the East China Sea barrier to free up more troops to deal with Lu Bu!" ”

Xun Yu continued: "Cao Gong only saw one of them, but not the other, now if he gives up attacking Lu Bu and attacks Xuzhou eastward, Lu Bu will soon know the news, so Yanzhou can't ignore it, right?" If you leave more troops to attack Xuzhou, it is not enough to attack Xuzhou, and if you leave fewer soldiers, then once Lu Bu leads the army to attack, the people must all use it to protect the city, and there is no time to go out to hunt and hunt for a living, at this time, if Lu Bu takes advantage of the robbery and plunder, and we are unable to rescue, then the hearts of the people of Yanzhou will only become more and more dangerous, and at that time, it will really be except for the isolation of Juancheng, Fan, and Dong'e counties, and the rest of the cities will no longer be able to return to the hands of Cao Gong, which is no different from really discarding Yanzhou! ”

Cao Cao said again: "Even if that's really the case, at that time, I had already led the army to capture Xuzhou, Xuzhou is rich, I have a good rest, and then counterattack Lu Bu, isn't it still possible to realize the will of Xi Zhicai?" ”

"What Cao Gong said about this situation is on the premise that Xuzhou is stable, if Xuzhou is captured, not only will it not be stable, but it will become more and more riotous? Where else could Cao Gong run at that time? Xun Yu continued to ask, "And even though Tao Qian died, Xuzhou was not so easy to capture." The people of Xuzhou were defeated twice in a row by Cao Gong, and now they must have prepared for fear of Cao Gong's attack again. Moreover, the wheat harvest season in Xuzhou has always been earlier than that of the Central Plains, and now Xuzhou must have finished harvesting the wheat. When Cao Gong arrived, it was not easy to attack, and he plundered and found nothing, and within ten days, the army would be trapped without a fight. Before the crusade against Xuzhou, Cao Gong used such cruel means to treat the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou, the children of Xuzhou remember the shame of their father and brother, everyone will definitely defend themselves, and there will be no surrender, even if our army can break through, it may not be able to settle down in a short time, right? ”

Cao Cao muttered: "Maybe I'm really wrong, I shouldn't have lost so much people's hearts because of my own personal anger!" ”

Xun Yu persuaded: "It is commendable that Cao Gong can realize that the people's hearts are the most important, who is without fault, and the saint still has mistakes, not to mention that we are all mortals?" As long as we don't make the same mistakes in the future, isn't it progressing? Mistakes will certainly bring losses and regrets, but looking back, mistakes can bring profound lessons and experience, if you must make mistakes, and the small losses caused by this can avoid greater losses in the future, this is not also a kind of small easy to big, to danger easy to safe? ”

Cao Cao was enlightened and said: "If Wen Ruo is worthy of being Wang Zuozhicai, Meng De is really taught!" Saying that, he bowed to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu immediately returned the salute to Cao Cao, he knew that Cao Cao must have moved the idea of wooing himself, but Xun Yu had already made up his mind when he came to Yanzhou, he wanted to be a courtier of the Han Dynasty, not a staff member of a certain person.

"But food and grass are very problematic!" Cao Cao didn't know Xun Yu's thoughts, turned around and walked back, clenching his fists tightly, "Don't talk about the people, even the army is not happy, Miaocai quietly abandoned his young son in order to have food to raise his dead brother's daughter, I reprimanded him fiercely after I knew it, and immediately sent someone to find the child back, and study and live with my children!" ”

"General Xiahou This is a righteous act, why do you want to reprimand him, Duke Cao?" Xun Yu followed closely.

Cao Cao snorted and said, "Miaocai, I see, he is stupid, righteousness is important, but you can't do foolish things because of righteousness!" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Hehe, this kind of thing, the lord has also said it, I can't imagine that Cao Gong is also thinking like this now!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be amazed: "It's worthy of Mingyang, it will actually have such an insight, Wen Ruo, do you think that Mingyang and I will have a day when we meet each other?" ”

"Definitely!" Xun Yu said intently, "There will definitely be a showdown between the strong and the strong, and now that the lord is going to attack Jiangxia, isn't it giving Cao Gong a chance to develop and grow?" ”

Cao Cao was slightly silent, because he always felt that against Gao Yi, he might not be able to win.

Xun Yu said at this time: "Why didn't Cao Gong speak? Do you think that countless innocent people will be killed and injured by then? ”

Cao Cao laughed: "If you say anything, I can only say nothing!" ”

Xun Yu suddenly followed and said: "I have a way, Cao Gong might as well use it!" ”

Cao Cao stood up, looked at Xun Yu curiously, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the method is?" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "Just put me under house arrest and don't let me go back to the lord, it's better to even change the name, just like Zhongde's name is changed to Yu, and Xun Yu is changed to Gou or, and everything will be fine!" ”

"Gou or, dog, poofhahahaha!" Cao Cao couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
