Chapter 244: Cao Cao's Thoughts

"No, Duguke took Lu Guan to do some tricks in Jiangzhou before, but now my White Lotus Sect's morale is low, and the three thousand elites were brought to Xiangzhou by you again. Nearly 10,000 members of the sect left our church for no reason, and you let us take action against Dongzhou a year ago, which is not conducive to the development of our church. ”

Cao Cao bluntly said the current situation of the White Lotus Sect, when Li Gengyun went to Linkou before, Bai Baobao and Huaishui Sanding brought nearly 10,000 White Lotus Sect troops, but after that day, the troops of these 10,000 people were divided, and the 3,000 elites were brought back to Xiangzhou by Li Gengyun, and the remaining people were arranged by Li Gengyun to Tianma Village and Feilong Village. And Duguke and Lu Guan made some moves against the White Lotus Sect in Jiangzhou, which directly led to the weakening of the White Lotus Sect's influence in Jiangzhou. Originally, most of Jiangzhou was under the control of the White Lotus Sect, but now less than half of it remains.

What's more, Huaishui Sanding was recruited by Li Gengyun, the Holy Maiden White Baby is in Xiangzhou, and the White Lotus Sect now lacks generals to lead the sect, if they are allowed to carry out operations against Dongzhou before the year, it will inevitably affect the strength of the White Lotus Sect in Jiangzhou, and at the same time, it will also give Xiangzhou and Nanzhou an opportunity. In case the White Lotus Sect's attack on Dongzhou does not go well, even if Li Gengyun keeps his promise and does not attack Jiangzhou, as well as Huateng in Nanzhou, they have already been eyeing Jiangzhou for a long time, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"Bai Chongyang said that he wanted the year before, why did you talk to me about the year after the year?"

Li Gengyun also smiled when he heard Cao Cao's words, he knew that although the person in front of him was not the Cao Cao he knew in history, his strategy and strategic vision were not bad, and he knew that although there was not much difference in time between the years and the year, it was definitely very critical for the current situation of the White Lotus Sect.

In a few days, it will be the New Year, and everyone wants to have a good New Year as a family, and the same is true for the members of the White Lotus Sect, not to mention that the New Year is also a grand gathering for the White Lotus Sect, which can not only unite the White Lotus Sect and improve morale, but more importantly, this is the annual election of the White Lotus Sect's Dharma Protector Conference, through the election of the White Lotus Sect's various rudders and teams, from which highly respected people are elected to become the protectors of the White Lotus Sect, and there will be a good commander in the next year's activities.

The three brothers of the Ding family were brought to Xiangzhou by Li Gengyun, so that the White Lotus Sect directly lost three powerful protectors, which also led to the current lack of leadership of the White Lotus Sect.

Of course, if Cao Cao can negotiate the conditions with Li Gengyun this time, then he will definitely be able to stay as the holy envoy when he goes back, but if the negotiation is not proper, then he will be punished at least when he goes back, and it is possible that Bai Chongyang will kill him in a fit of anger.

But Cao Cao did not talk to Li Gengyun according to Bai Chongyang's thoughts, but talked to Li Gengyun about his own thoughts, which shows that Cao Cao is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but sincerely thinks about the White Lotus Sect and wants to help Bai Chongyang tide over this difficulty.

Li Gengyun could naturally see what Cao Cao thought, and he also knew that for the White Lotus Sect, attacking after the year was the best time, but this was also what Baili Xi and Duguke thought. They bet that the White Lotus Church would make a move against Dongzhou after the New Year, and Baili Xi would naturally not interfere in this matter, but Dugu Kehui would. The relationship between Duguke and Bailixi is far inferior to the relationship between Duguke and Yeluqi, for Duguke, Bailixi's talent impresses him, but he is always a Song person, not a member of the Northern Yuan clan, and Yeluqi is a person he has always respected and obeyed, so once the White Lotus Sect attacks Dongzhou, Duguke will definitely not stand idly by.

Therefore, it is the best time to attack Dongzhou before the year, once it is delayed after the year, Duguke will definitely be prepared, and even if the White Lotus Sect has generals and commanders, I am afraid that it will only be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there will be no return. At this point, Bai Chongyang seems to see it more clearly than Cao Cao.

"Do you know why your sect leader attacked Dongzhou years ago?"

"I know, judging from the current situation of the White Lotus Sect, although the attack before the year ago was insufficient in strength and lacked generals to command, the Yuan army on the Dongzhou side must also be underprepared, so the attack before the year ago was an unprepared war for both sides. The reason why I want to be after the year is because my goal is not Dongzhou, but Sizhou. ”

Cao Cao's words were astonishing, he even said that the target of the attack after the year was not Dongzhou but Sizhou, which Li Gengyun did not expect, and Kuiyi did not expect it.

"The Holy Envoy surprised this move, and it is indeed easy to succeed."

Since Cao Cao's goal was Sizhou, Li Gengyun also understood what he wanted to do.

What he wanted was enough time to dispatch the White Lotus Sect's people to the intersection of Sizhou and Dongzhou, which was also the intersection of Lizhou and Sizhou. Occupy this place, first, you can drive straight into Sizhou and attack the imperial city, and second, you can retreat to Lizhou. Seeking the support of Li Gengyun and them is indeed a very good move.

After Baili Xi took Sizhou, he transferred the main force to Chaozhou, and he himself stayed in Dongzhou with Yeluqi. Dongzhou currently has a large number of generals, with the world's first Lu Guan in charge, and then there is Duguke, who is both civil and military, and the second prince Yeluqi, although Baili Xi stays in Dongzhou as a military spectator, but if it touches his fundamental interests, he will not be without action.

The Great Song Dynasty had a New Year, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty also had a New Year, and it was the same day in time. The Northern Yuan Dynasty celebrated the New Year, and this year was the first year that the Northern Yuan Dynasty captured the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty and took the Central Plains. Therefore, Yeluqi and Bailixi will definitely leave Dongzhou for the imperial city before the New Year, and it is very likely that Lu Guan will also leave with Bailixi. However, Duguke will definitely not leave Dongzhou, after all, the main generals have left Dongzhou, so there must be someone in Dongzhou to preside over the overall situation. He had already arranged for him to enter Jiangzhou to carry out a series of actions, which showed that the Northern Yuan had indirectly handed over the military and political power of Dongzhou to him, so the heavy responsibility of staying in Dongzhou to guard against Jiangzhou and Nanzhou must be borne by him alone.

A year later, Cao Cao led the White Lotus Sect troops with a stable military spirit to attack directly from Sizhou, and the plot was not only Dongzhou, but also wanted to directly insert a foot in the middle and divide the Central Plains region into two with Sizhou as the boundary. If it succeeds, then Dongzhou and Chaozhou will inevitably be gradually encroached upon, and if it fails, then these people from the White Lotus Sect can only flee towards Lizhou, in order to seek the protection of Li Gengyun's Xiangzhou army and let them return to Jiangzhou safely.

"There are such good things in the world. I know what you think, but what I think in my heart, I wonder if the Holy Envoy has thought about it? ”
