In the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty, the three brothers of Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao pulled the flag and rebelled, and played the political slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".

Everywhere the Yellow Turban Army went, they captured the city, killed the officials, looted the money and grain, and coerced the people.

In order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han Dynasty was also desperate, delegating military and political power, allowing states and counties to recruit troops on their own, and finally turned the situation around and kept Jiangshang, but under such a heavy blow, the Han Dynasty was also dying!

Since then, the three words of 'Yellow Turban Army' have become a nightmare for dignitaries and dignitaries, while the princes from all walks of life are conquest against each other, they have not forgotten to clean up the remnants, as long as they find a little flame of uprising, they will not hesitate to kill the blood into a river, but also completely annihilate it, the dignitaries know very well that if the princes win the world, they are just changing their signboards, and the good days are correct, once the Yellow Turban Army gains power, they will dig their ancestral graves!

Ten years have passed, under the joint suppression of all forces, the Yellow Turban Army has basically disappeared, and occasionally there are some small riots, which have also been quickly pacified by the government, and the princes of the world have finally breathed a sigh of relief, no one thought that overnight, the Yellow Turban Army would resurrect, and the momentum was huge, shocking the world!

The military situation is like fire, the 'Guining Banquet' immediately stopped, the idle personnel all retreated, Xu Chu led the troops to block the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, Cao Cao and several confidants began to discuss the military aircraft, discuss countermeasures, at the same time, a huge cowhide map was hung, in the northern part of Jizhou, a small piece of flame-shaped markers were drawn, and the three big characters of 'Yellow Turban Army'!

"Whew! --Call! --Call! ”

The atmosphere in the lobby is solemn, full of rapid breathing, looking at the small flame mark, everyone does not dare to be careless, those who stay here are far-reaching people with far-reaching wisdom, and naturally understand a truth - a spark can start a prairie fire!

The Yellow Turban Army was chaotic, its equipment was backward, its members were mainly homeless and grasshoppers, its leaders were also brave and unscrupulous, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was extremely poor.

The problem is that it is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to exterminate, and the terrible thing about the Yellow Turban Army is not their combat effectiveness, but their fighting methods that are running around, as well as the powerful destructive power that engulfs the people and disturbs the place!

The Yellow Turban Army has no base, they are like locusts, walking all the way, eating all the way, after breaking through the city, they immediately loot grain and grass, burn houses, and force the local people to the line of life and death.

A Yellow Turban Army of thousands of people, in just a few months, will grow like a snowball, to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and then roll forward, devouring all targets, and will not stop if the world is not cleaned up!

At the beginning in Yanzhou, it was all thanks to Xiao Yi's conspiracy and sealing it with an ice wall, which trapped a million Yellow Turban Army, and then forced them to surrender, so that a catastrophe could be pacified.

"The Yellow Turban of Montenegro, gathering crowds to make trouble, the leader Zhang Yan is brave, successively breaking through Changshan, Zhongshan, Hanoi counties, and expanding to hundreds of thousands, the momentum is huge, not to be underestimated, you are all resourceful people, what is the best way to deal with it?"

Cao Cao is good at admonishment, and after encountering problems, he always lets everyone express their opinions and put forward countermeasures.

Of course, other people's opinions are green leaves, and their own opinions are red flowers, Cao Cao, as a traitor, must have his own judgment, such as the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army, his judgment is - half happy and half sad!

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he has the responsibility to calm down the chaos and return the people of Li to a bright future!

Happy, the Yellow Turban Army is making trouble on Yuan Shao's territory, and the Cao and Yuan families are enemies of life and death, if you take the opportunity to weaken Yuan Shao's strength, it will be very beneficial to your cause of unifying the world!

Therefore, the former is a slogan, and it must be shouted loudly, so that people all over the world can know their thoughts about the country and the people, and establish a great political image; The latter is the goal, we must seize the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Hebei Group, and if Yuan Shao is not completely killed, we must also be half-disabled!

"Yuan Shao's governance of Hebei is unfavorable, resulting in thieves everywhere, and the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, in the name of the imperial court, he should be reprimanded, remove the general from the post of officer, and then let him make meritorious service with the crime, and send troops to crusade against the thieves!"

Xun is good at yang strategy, pays attention to righteousness and brightness, first uses political means to attack the opponent, and then urges him to send troops, so as to not only maintain the prestige of the imperial court, but also quell the rebellion, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

"The banks of the Yellow River should also be closely guarded, and generals should be dispatched to patrol day and night to prevent the remnants of the Yellow Turban from flowing over and poisoning the people of Yu, Yan, Xu, and Si Prefectures!" Xun You is also a person who loves the people, and the stable situation in the four states is not easy to come by, but these 'locusts' can't be ruined!

"Cut his official position, supervise the dispatch of troops, the punishment is too light, in my opinion, the prime minister should be stationed in Guandu, and then give an order to Yuan Shao, let him pacify the Yellow Turban Rebellion within two months, if not, let the imperial army do the work for him!"

Cheng Yu's strategy is a naked conspiracy, Cao and Yuan are enemies of life and death, there is no trust at all, Cao Jun is in Guandu, Yuan Shao will inevitably send troops to resist, on the other hand, he will not have enough troops to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, and the situation in Hebei will inevitably deteriorate further!

Similarly, the order to break the enemy in two months is also very vicious, the matter of fighting, sometimes it is advisable to be slow, sometimes it is appropriate to be fast, it is necessary to make the right choice according to the battlefield situation, Cheng Yu forced Yuan Shao to fight quickly, which is equivalent to letting him fight for his life, even if he wins, the loss of soldiers and horses will inevitably be heavy!

After listening to the countermeasures of the three strategists, Cao Cao stroked his forehead with his hand and fell into contemplation, Xun, Xun You's method is bright and bright, benefiting the country and the people, it is undoubtedly suitable for the identity of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but Cheng Yu's strategy is vicious and unparalleled, and it can weaken Yuan Shao's strength, which is very much in line with his appetite!

"Fengxiao, no worries, what is your opinion?" Cao Cao did not rush to make a decision, but set his sights on the best strategists and the most warlike generals, hoping that they would come up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

"Hebei is powerful, not to be underestimated, with Yuan Shao's talent, plus his military officers, hundreds of thousands of horses, will definitely be able to pacify the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, even if we put pressure, we can't change anything, but provoke the world's criticism!

However, there is a Yellow Turban Army dragging Yuan Shao, Hebei soldiers and horses can't go south for the time being, we have room to toss and turn, the prime minister should seize the opportunity to solve his worries, especially Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, like a mang on his back, must pull out this spike! ”

Guo Jia is known as the 'head of the four strategists', because he has a long-term strategic vision, others only focus on Hebei, but what he sees is the overall situation of the world!

Among the princes of all walks of life, the strength of the Cao Ying Group ranks second, second only to the Yuan clan of Hebei, but in terms of strategic location, the difference between the two is too far!

Hebei Yuan's family, backed by the desert, east of the Bohai Sea, west of Taihang, condescending, looking at the southern states, can press all the troops on the Yellow River line, strategically very advantageous!

On the contrary, the Cao Ying group is more unlucky, there is a strong enemy Yuan Shao in the north, and Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang in the south, all of whom are powerful factions sitting on one side, strategically belonging to the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and the troops must also be divided into four, defending everywhere, once the war starts, it is very unfavorable!

Guo Jia's opinion is very clear, while Yuan Shao is busy dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, let's immediately clear up the troubles, and when the two strong fight in the future, we can concentrate our forces, and the chances of victory will be a little bigger!

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, the southern princes, Jingzhou is the strongest, and the distance is also the closest, only by seizing Wancheng and closing the gate to the south, can the old man gather forces and fight to the death with Yuan Benchu!"

Speaking of Wancheng, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but darken, obviously thinking of his eldest son Cao Ang, that was the biggest blow to him!

"The ancients said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is certainly a bad thing, but as long as it is operated properly, bad things can also become good things, and our Qingzhou soldiers are the best example!"

Seeing Cao Cao's gloomy expression, Xiao Yi hurriedly diverted the topic, for fear that his father-in-law would be too sad and damage his body, and as a son-in-law, he should also do some filial piety!

As for the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hebei, he has another opinion, the princes compete for hegemony, what is the most important thing, the city, wealth, power, and position...... It's all wrong, if you want to win the world, the most important thing is the people!

The affairs of the world are people-oriented, and only when there is enough population can taxes be collected and troops recruited, which is the capital to be the king and hegemon!

When Cao Ying Group was founded, it was by absorbing the Yellow Turban Army, with a population of one million, and 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers, that it developed and grew, and now it is the same, taking the opportunity to get the population of Hebei and hollowing out Yuan Shao's family is the biggest victory!

As for how to snatch the population, Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing, if you want to make a big thing, secrecy first, it is best to know God knows, you know and I know, and other people, even wives, can't say it!

"This matter is important, the old man needs to plan, everyone will go back to the house to rest for the time being, and discuss and make a decision tomorrow!"

Cao Cao is so treacherous, with a glance, he knows that his baby son-in-law has a plan, and immediately dismisses everyone, and he also knows the importance of secrecy!

"Prime Minister take care of your health, I'll retire for the time being!"

When he walked to the door, Guo Jia quietly turned around, stretched out his hand to the north, and smiled at Xiao Yi: "Your kid's bad intentions, brother understands very well, remember to bring gifts back!" ”

That night, Xiao Yi stayed in the prime minister's mansion, at midnight, entered the study, conspired with Cao Cao for a long time, and left on the fifth watch, no one knew what they said, let alone how they planned, but since then, there has been a common saying among the people - "Weng son-in-law conspires, it must be no good thing!" ”
