519, Dake sent the army out in two ways

In the original history, Cao Cao actually dragged on and did not take the initiative to fight Yuan Shu, he should have some scruples about Yuan Shu's strength, and hoped to see the battle between Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Lu Bu first, he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Unexpectedly, after Yuan Shu suffered a loss in Xuzhou, he changed direction and sent troops to invade Chen State, booby-trapped Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and annexed the land of Chen State, posing a threat to Xu Du from the east, which forced Cao Cao to send troops to fight Yuan Shu.

In fact, Cao Cao was probably depressed at that time, he considered the threat of Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao in the north, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and had already ignored Yuan Shu's rebellion as the emperor.

This is really "the child is bitter, forbearance and not resentment" (well, "the baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say" literary version).

Zhu Wei listened to Zhuge Jin's words, and naturally understood the meaning of his words, that is, he nodded slightly, in fact, the strategy that Zhuge Jin said had already been discussed by Zhu Wei in the discussion with Wang Yuyan and Jia Xu, so Zhu Wei originally set the strategic policy of first taking Yizhou and Hanzhong in the west, and then seeking the land of Guanzhong, which did not involve the Central Plains for the time being.

Now Zhuge Jin's discussion is similar to Wang Yuyan and Jia Xu's views, but it is enough to show that Zhuge Jin's vision has also reached this realm.

"Well, Mr. Zhuge meant roughly the same as Wei originally thought, but how can I make Cao Cao believe in the good intentions of Wei's friends, and how can I relax Cao Cao's heart and let him take the initiative to attack Yuan Shu?"

Zhu Wei first nodded in agreement with Zhuge Jin's words, but soon asked him again, after all, this kind of overall situation is easy to analyze, but if it involves how to do it, it is an aspect that tests the ability to do things.

Zhuge Jin frowned again when he heard this, after all, Cao Cao's side is not stupid, and Zhu Wei obviously has the strength to threaten Cao Cao's side, so why did Cao Cao fight to the death with Yuan Shu, lose his strength in vain, but let Zhu Wei sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

After all, if today's situation has entered the situation of princes fighting, who is willing to consume their own strength for no reason, but not guard against the evil wolf who is watching from the sidelines?

Perhaps this is also the reason why Cao Cao did not immediately send troops to rebel after Yuan Shu became emperor in history.

Cao Cao was in Gunzhou, the land of the four wars, and he really didn't dare to casually find the powerful targets around him to fight, so after Cao Cao repelled Yuan Shu, who intended to attack Xu Du, in the original history, he still decided to choose a soft persimmon like Lu Bu first, and successfully defeated Lu Bu to obtain Xuzhou.

It's just that Cao Cao was deceived by Liu Bei for a while, and when he stopped Yuan Shu from going north to join Yuan Shao, he asked Liu Bei to lead troops to Xuzhou to block Yuan Shu, and as a result, Liu Bei killed the Xuzhou assassin sent by Cao Cao and occupied Xuzhou from the beginning.

After that, Cao Cao conscripted Liu Bei again and captured Guan Yu and Liu Bei's two wives, while Liu Bei ran to Yuan Shao's side, and Zhang Fei ran to Runan to occupy a small county, anyway, the three brothers went their own way.

And Cao Cao officially started a war with Yuan Shao in the north, which led to the romance stories of beheading Yan Liang, Zhuwen Chou, the battle of Guandu, the sneak attack on Wuchao, and the six generals after five levels.

Well, it's not much nonsense, anyway, now with Zhu Wei's rise out of thin air, there is such a huge force as Zhu Wei next to Cao Cao's Xu Du where the Son of Heaven is placed, which is naturally another threat to Cao Cao.

No one is an idiot, and they are not willing to easily consume their strength to gnaw hard bones, and be a yellow finch for others.

So just talking about the truce and making friends, how could Cao Cao easily believe that he could drive Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu?

"Maybe let Cao Cao know where the lord is going next, lord, the land of Yizhou and Hanzhong is not bad, if Cao Cao knows what the lord wants to take, maybe Cao Cao can rest assured that the lord!"

Zhuge Jin thought about it but said the strategy that Zhu Wei had already set with Wang Yuyan, Zhuge Jin's words can be regarded as passing Zhu Wei's examination school, and the way to really reassure Cao Cao is that it is naturally to let Zhu Wei fall into other things and have no time to send troops north.

Of course, it is not easy to conquer Yizhou and Hanzhong.

After all, Yizhou Shu is mountainous, although Yizhou Liu Zhang is cowardly, but there are many civil and military subordinates, Yizhou's troops are also not small, coupled with the geographical advantages of Yizhou Shudi, Zhu Wei will inevitably need to spend a lot of energy and manpower if he wants to conquer Yizhou.

Therefore, only when Zhu Wei is caught in the war on this side can Cao Cao be at ease and befriend Zhu Wei, and then carry out his conquest in the Central Plains.

Compared with Zhu Wei's side, if he can obtain the land of Yizhou and Hanzhong, he can also increase the territory and population, and also increase Zhu Wei's heritage, so that Zhu Wei's power in the south is stronger.

"Haha, that's a way! Well, then Brother Kong Ming, what do you think about this! ”

Zhu Wei affirmed Zhuge Jin's ability in his heart, of course, in terms of Zhuge Jin's character attributes, he is still biased towards internal affairs talents, and he may be able to consider where to place it for internal affairs governance in the future.

However, Zhu Wei deliberately looked at Zhuge Liang, who was listening to Zhu Wei and Zhuge Jin, to see what new insights Zhuge Liang could have now.

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, he naturally noticed Zhu Wei's strangeness, and he could feel that Zhu Wei seemed to have a special attitude towards him, as if he cared about him very much.

However, Zhuge Liang at this moment was not cowardly, but just said with a slight smile, "What the eldest brother said is actually not bad, but if Liang thinks about it, what the eldest brother said, in fact, Qian Tanghou has already made up his mind!" It's just that Liang thinks that the Central Plains is the foundation of the world, and with Qian Tanghou's current strength and manpower, why sit and watch the battle for the Central Plains? Qian Tanghou can go out of tens of thousands of troops in two ways, all the way from Nanyang to take Xudu, all the way from Jiangdong to Xuzhou, then the two roads at the same time, first break Cao Cao, and then Yuan Shu, as for Xuzhou Lu Bu, Liu Bei's generation, I think it is not in the eyes of Qian Tanghou, so a battle to the Central Plains, and then with the north Yuan Shao decisive battle of life and death, so the world can be determined! With Qian Tanghou's soldiers, it is actually enough to swallow the world, so why dodge and hide behind others? If the world is decided by such a war, the people of the world can live a stable life as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang said half-truthfully, but it seemed to be trumpeting Zhu Wei's strength, so that Zhu Wei could go on a desperate Northern Expedition, and even divide two armies into a Northern Expedition at the same time.

"Although Wei boasts of being blessed by the destiny of heaven, he does not dare to underestimate the heroes of the world after all, although there are some soldiers and horses in Wei's hands, but after all, he can't swallow the world!"

Zhu Wei was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly laughed again, of course Zhu Wei would not be fooled away by Zhuge Liang's words, and really thought that with his current strength, he could swallow mountains and rivers......
