Chapter 153. Kill and stay
Cao Cao according to Guo Jia's strategy, ordered the general Che Zhou to lead Xuzhou, leaving him 80,000 elite soldiers, Cao Cao's idea is very simple, once Xuzhou is in trouble, this is 80,000 steamed buns, which is enough for the enemy to gnaw for a period of time, at that time his tiger and leopard cavalry army can also rush to Xuzhou to support.
The army has been reorganized, just waiting for Cao Cao's order to return to Xuchang, before setting off Cao Cao summoned three people into the military tent, these three people are Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.
Now under Cao Cao, there are only these three strategists who can handle it.
Entering Cao Cao's room, several people sat down one after another, Cao Cao ordered people to serve tea, and he was not verbose, and said bluntly: "This attack on Xuzhou has been a great success, and the three of them think, where is the victory?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes looked around, looked at the few people in front of him, and asked such a question faintly, the scene was still very serious, and no one dared to laugh in front of Cao Cao.
"The minister thinks that the victory lies in the wisdom of the lord, the tiger and leopard cavalry is getting stronger and stronger, and the Xuzhou army is declining, and it does not have the strength to fight with our army at all, not to mention Lu Bu, Puffer, he wants to be the enemy of the lord, and there is still a difference in Taiyuan!"
The first to speak was Cheng Yu, he was the oldest of the three, and naturally he had the most right to speak, and he spoke word by word, but what he said was very reasonable, and even very meaningful.
Cao Cao nodded, Cheng Yu's analysis is reasonable, this kind of words will definitely be regarded as flattery in other people's mouths, but when they come out of Cheng Yu's mouth, it is very natural and simple.
"Feng Xiao thinks that winning in the general trend, the lord and the soldier are pointing out, vertical and horizontal like the wind, the world's scholars are all obedient, the truth is on the side of the lord, and the victorious person is naturally the lord!"
Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this is an extremely advanced idea, Yuan Shao does not dare, Yuan Shu can't, Liu Biao does not have such courage, and only Cao Cao can be worthy of such a great task in the whole world.
"Xun Yu thinks, win in the hearts of the people, since ancient times, the people's heart is an important weight to measure a king, the people who win the hearts of the people win the world, will always be the eternal tidying up, these years of war in various places, the people have already been miserable, only I Yanzhou people, live and work in peace and contentment, such a reputation has long spread to all parts of the world, and the people can only live a good life under the command of the lord."
Cao Cao's heart was happy, and the three of them summarized the battle from different angles, which can be described as tricky.
"What the three of them said is very reasonable, Gu Shen thinks so, but today there is one more thing that Gu hopes the three of them will also give some insights, Liu Bei, should you kill or stay?"
How famous is Liu Bei? Presumably with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it is naturally too far away, but the power of this person lies in buying people's hearts, and the people in Xuzhou City still hope that Liu Bei will stay in Xuzhou to guard.
Who is Liu Bei? Whether he is a fish and shrimp in the water or a soaring dragon, the head that a beauty can see, Cao Cao now can't forget Liu Bei's resolute eyes when Guan Yu warmed the wine and killed Huaxiong, as if everything was expected.
Three heroes fought against Lu Bu's bravery, Liu Bei saved Lu Bu's life several times, until Lu Bu was unkind and unjust many times, so he made him kill, such a person, is it really merciful or fake benevolent?
Cao Cao asked such a question now, thinking that he would throw this difficult problem to the three ministers below, to see what they had to say.
"Guo Jia thinks that Liu Bei should be killed, Liu Bei is a descendant of the Han Queen, who makes a living by selling straw shoes, his family is poor, and it is not easy to get to this position step by step, but his scheming is unpredictable, and the ministers can't see through, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei traveled all over the world, and his strength continued to grow stronger, but he kept dying, but this person is indomitable, strong in failure, Guo Jia visually predicted, this person will become the enemy's enemy in the future!"
Guo Jia bowed and saluted, and his tone was very serious, Liu Bei was definitely not a thing in the pool, he was waiting for Fengyun, the Fengyun that could make him soar to the sky.
Cao Cao didn't speak, but turned his gaze at Xun Yu again.
Xun Yu paused, thought for a long time, and said: "Xun Yu thinks that it should be used, since Liu Bei surrendered to the lord, it means that he is happy and sincere to the lord, this person is not only a minister of the Han Dynasty, but also a descendant of the Han queen, how can he kill him, if he is killed, it is not to shout the hearts of the people of the world, who will dare to surrender to the lord in the future, so I think not only can not be killed, but also ask for an official and a half-position in front of the emperor." ”
Two of the three people spoke, and now only Cheng Yu is left, and the two of them have two points of view, as the oldest strategist under Cao Cao, they naturally have to say something different.
"Cheng Yu, observe first, and then decide to kill, this time to attack Xuzhou City, Liu Bei has merit, if you kill him here, many people will not be convinced, it is better for the lord to bring Liu Bei back to Xuchang first, first seal a small official to sit down, see how he reacts, and then decide to kill it is not too late!"
The three options were given to Cao Cao, and the rest was only for Cao Cao to think about it himself!
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "I know, you three go down!" ”
"Whoa!"
Xun Yu and the others went back one after another, and Cao Cao thought for a long time and did not give an answer in front of the three people.
The army quickly pulled out, and rushed to Xuchang in a mighty way, skipping the mountains and rivers along the way, which were the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, and the mountains and rivers that had long been riddled with holes.
Xun Yu rode a horse, followed by Cao Pi, with incomprehensible happiness on his face, Xun Yu asked, "Zihuan, why are you so happy?" ”
Cao Pi sat on Mashan and swayed, like a fairy, and said with a smile: "There is a happy event in Xuchang City today, not only am I happy, but my father is even happier than me!" ”
"Happy event?" Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, he had just laid down Xuzhou, what happy event would Xuchang have, could it be that Cao Ren had defeated Hanoi, Xun Yu smiled and said: "What is Zihuan talking about?" ”
"My father's Mrs. Huan gave birth to a child, and I have another brother!"
Xun Yu was shocked in his heart, the child born to Mrs. Huan is Cao Chong, is this little genius going to be born today?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, Cao Chong was extremely smart, but he was born at the wrong time, and he shouldn't even be born in such a family, because he was about to be a victim of the struggle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
"So that's the case, no wonder I can't keep my mouth shut when I see Sikong, it turns out that there is a happy event coming, congratulations!"
Cao Pi smiled and said nothing, with a hint of grief in his eyes, he hoped that this was a younger sister, because only in this way would he be less threatening.
Xun Yu looked into the distance, and the outline of a city flashed, and that was Yanzhou!
