Chapter 232: Xi Zhong is seriously ill
Cao Cao became the lord of Yanzhou, and many people came to congratulate him.
Among them, there are many wealthy families, but Cao Cao left them all.
It was because of Pan Lu's arrival, "Ziyu, you are coming to Yanzhou at this time, you are really not afraid of the beginning!" ”
"Primordial? He's too busy to take care of himself, how can he trouble me! ”
"What do you mean?"
Pan Lu: "This is a secret! Why should I tell you? ”
"I'll treat you to dinner and wine in the evening."
Cao Cao knew that Pan Lu would definitely say it, otherwise he would not have come in person.
"Since you are so 'generous', I might as well tell you that Yuan Shao wanted to make Liu Yu the emperor, but Liu Yu refused."
In fact, this is not a big secret, Cao Cao will know sooner or later, so Pan Lu will let him know a little earlier.
"How would you have done that? What the hell did he think? ”
Cao Cao has insight into the overall situation, and he understands that this is not as simple as a hot face sticking to a cold ass.
The contradiction between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao is irreconcilable, and there has never been a major conflict, just because of Liu Yu's existence.
Yuan Shao's move is equivalent to putting Liu Yu on the opposite side.
Liu Yu will not help Gongsun Zhan, but at the same time, he will not help Yuan Shao.
Judging from the situation, this is a self-severing arm!
"Who knows what he thinks? Get carried away, without Liu Yu's elbow, there will be a great battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, while the two of them haven't fought yet, I will come out to relax. ”
Regarding what Pan Lu said earlier, Cao Cao agreed very much.
But what Pan Lu said later, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was perfunctory.
"Are you distracted? Scatter me, you won't have any bad ideas! In Cao Cao's view, this is not impossible.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan confronted each other, so Pan Lu had his hands free.
Pan Lu will cease unless the sun hits the west.
"Brother Cao, we are brothers! How can you think of me like that? ”
"My brother settles accounts, you and I are brothers, but we are the masters of the same party, it's better to make it clear, he has his own ability to meet each other every day, but I don't want you to lie to me."
Cao Cao was so straightforward, which surprised Pan Lu, is this still a traitor?
It was also Cao Cao who really regarded Pan Lu as a brother, so he didn't hide it.
"I really can't hide anything from Brother Cao! I'm going to attack Xuzhou, and I want you to help me. ”
Although Tao Qian is old and weak, this does not mean that Xuzhou is vulnerable.
Not to mention anything else, Tao Qian is a native of Danyang County, Yangzhou.
When he entered Xuzhou alone, he relied on Danyang soldiers to stabilize the situation.
As we all know, the Danyang soldiers are brave and abnormal, and they are the strongest force in the world.
It's not something to mess with.
"Not long after you took Qingzhou, you were thinking about attacking Xuzhou, are you too anxious?"
"Brother Cao, I have my own plans, just say you can't help!"
Cao Cao is not a stable person.
"How do you divide it up afterwards?"
"The first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers, whoever captures the city belongs to whom, fair!"
"You're not afraid of conflict between us."
"I will go south to attack the Lang Evil Kingdom in Xuzhou, and you will attack Peng Chengguo in Xuzhou in the east, and there will be no conflict between each and each for the time being."
Carving up Xuzhou is not a trivial matter!
Cao Cao can't be arbitrary, "I have to discuss this matter with my subordinates." ”
"There's no hurry, I'll stay here for a few days."
Pan Lu, it's really a little distracted.
After Cao Cao took Yanzhou, his subordinates were full of talents!
He used to have only one strategist, but now he has four strategists.
In addition to Xi Zhong, there are also Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu.
They are all talented people, and Cao Cao said Pan Lu's intentions, and there was still a bit of controversy between the four of them.
Xun Yu was known as Wang Zuozhicai.
is good at handling internal affairs, and is inferior to Xi Zhong in this regard.
Coupled with the Xun family behind him, the head of the Naishi clan, the Xun family's eight dragons are famous.
Therefore, his status under Cao Cao is very high, and he can compete with Xi Zhong.
"My lord, with the current situation in Yanzhou, it is not enough to support a big war."
"It's not a problem to feed the war with war, anyway, Xuzhou is rich." Although Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew, he is completely different.
Xun Yu is a gentleman, while Xun Yu is a bit radical.
He felt that those who achieved great things could not be confined to small sections.
Xun Yu: "The lord can't, use war to feed the people and fear the people, and then you will bear the notoriety." ”
If Xun Yu is a bit aggressive, then Cheng Yu is insidious.
"It's just a little infamy, but what's it? It's a big deal to find a few scapegoats and let them take on all the problems.
Besides, this time it's not just us attacking Xuzhou, but also Pan Lu?
Who bears the notoriety? Cheng Yu's implication is to blame all the evil things on Pan Lu.
Cao Cao still has a little conscience, "Our affairs can't involve Pan Lu." ”
Xun Yu: "Lord, we just took Yanzhou, and there are not many soldiers and horses that can be used!" If Pan Lu sends troops to us at that time, we will be caught off guard. ”
After listening for a long time, Xi Zhong spoke.
"Xuzhou must be fought, but we can't expect to get the entire territory of Xuzhou, and take one or two counties and stop it."
Now Xun Yu is one to three, if Cao Cao is counted, it is one to four.
Cao Cao must have intended to send troops, otherwise he would not have convened everyone to discuss.
"Will we stop, will Pan Lu stop? He was a greedy man. ”
Of course he will stop, the situation in Hebei is unknown, he can't do his best, he has to guard against a fire in the backyard at all times, and in this case, he won't expect to get the whole territory of Xuzhou.
This is also the reason why Pan Lu found us, he just didn't want Tao Qian to have room to turn over. ”
Xun Yu: "This is just your guess. ”
"When things don't happen, everything we do is speculation, but my guess is very strong.
Wen Ruo, have you forgotten the terrain of Xuzhou and Qingzhou? ”
Xun Yu couldn't help but look at the map, and he knew what Xi Zhong was based on?
The terrain of Xuzhou is too narrow and long, once it is put together with Qingzhou, it is equivalent to Qingzhou having a very long tail.
Pan Lu is bound to not be able to take care of both, and Pan Lu has obtained the entire territory of Xuzhou, which is a drag on him.
"It's still ambition and vision! It's better to sigh to yourself. ”
"Wen Ruo, you praise it falsely, I am not as good as you in many aspects."
“.....”
Since the four great strategists are not opposed to sending troops.
Then Cao Cao also made up his mind, "With your help, why should Meng De worry about big things!" ”
Cao Cao, impassioned there.
was interrupted by Xi Zhong's coughing.
Cao Cao was not angry at all, but worried.
Xi Zhong's health is too poor, "Zhicai, you don't care about Xuzhou's affairs, take care of your body, I need you." ”
