The art of war: the first army to plan, the second to fight, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city. The www.biquge.info plotter is a major matter of the militaristic state, and the person who has no plot will only hurt his life when he is out on the march.

A plan, or a half-moment ambush, or a momentary fire and water, or half a lifetime of taoguang and obscurity. Sometimes a scheme may take fifty years, or even longer, but it is only a gift to those who are willing to endure. An impetuous person will never be able to control this plan.

Xun Gang is not in a hurry, people say that when he is in his prime, it is an excellent opportunity to make contributions; Now he is only eleven or twelve years old, and he is still twenty or thirty years away from his prime, what is he anxious about. These days, he writes poems, educates Cao Pi, and goes to the palace to discuss political affairs with his brother-in-law, just like an idler.

Only idlers will make others less suspicious of themselves.

Liu Xie is also extremely lonely in the palace, and the people who can play are the little eunuchs on the side, except for the palace maids, only the queen Fushou depends on him. Now that Cao Cao has just moved the capital, he has not been too constrained by Liu Xie, and he is still allowed to deal with the small affairs of some countries personally. Because of this, when Xun Gang went to the palace to face the saint, he also had the opportunity to come into contact with a lot of national events.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xun Gang asks to see you!" A eunuch came up to the hall and said respectfully.

When Liu Xie heard that Xun Gang was coming, he put down the affairs in his hand and said with a smile: "Xuan! ”

Xun Gang was wearing a purple noble robe with a golden python tattooed on it, which was given to him by Liu Xie, after all, this kind of clothes was worn by no one except the prince. After the two met as brothers, Xun Gang smiled and took out a piece of writing from his sleeve and said: "My brother found a pair of words from the street some time ago, and it is said that it is the small seal of the former sage Li Si, so he bought it and gave it to the imperial brother. ”

Liu Xie smiled, but he didn't have the slightest interest in the authenticity of this painting, after all, Xun Gang came once a few days, and Liu Xie was finally able to find someone who said something to his heart, how could he weigh the authenticity of the calligraphy and painting first?

"Brother Xian and I will come with me to review the folds!"

Liu Xie's review and reading was never called a minister, so as not to quarrel with his own different concepts; He is the same age as Xun Gang, and reading the recital together is of great benefit to the growth of his political knowledge. Liu Xie seems to be still fantasizing, when will Cao Cao, a "loyal minister of the Han Dynasty", hand over the power in his hands to himself?

"Xuzhou assassin Shi Lu Bu detained Yuan Shu and his personal envoy Han Yin, and threatened that Yuan Shu had usurped and rebelled; Sikong has already put Han Yin to death, and the virtuous brother will see how to reward Lu Bu and how to punish Yuan Shu? ”

Xun Gang now knew that Lu Bu originally had the idea of marrying a daughter, and he learned from Lu Lingqi that Lu Bu only had one daughter. And now that he learned that Lu Bu repented of his marriage, Xun Gang's worried heart was relieved; I don't know which master helped me, I really love him!

Xun Gang suggested: "Add Lu Bu as the general of Zhendong, and seal about 500 households of his Wenhou food to calm down the heart; As for Yuan Shu, his position as the history of Yangzhou has not yet been settled, so he will be named the history of Yangzhou and the title of Marquis of Jiating. ”

Liu Xie was secretly shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Shu has a rebellious act, why don't you lower the reward, what is the reason?" ”

"This is a delaying tactic. The imperial brother thought that if he suddenly attacked Yuan Shu, wouldn't he let him speed up the pace of usurpation? Now we should first appease their hearts and reward them so that they will feel ashamed and dare not claim the title of emperor without authorization. Otherwise, there are two kings in the sky, what is the status of the imperial brother? ”

This is where the strategy is powerful, as the so-called "strategizing in the strategic, decisive victory thousands of miles away", a small edict is very likely to change a person's mind, thereby affecting the future pattern of the world.

Liu Xie realized that politics is not such a simple thing, although he is now sixteen years old, and he has passed the age of the aristocratic crown in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the word "Bohe" is used. But in terms of politics, it's not much different from being stunned; Therefore, Xun Gang's suggestion is mostly for him to learn.

"I'll do as you say."

With the assistance of Xun Gang, Liu Xie's government affairs were dealt with a few hours in advance, and he was about to take Xun Gang to the shooting range to try it out, when someone suddenly came to report: "Sikong asks to see you!" ”

"Cao Cao? What is he going to do? Liu Xie frowned and said calmly: "Xuan!" ”

After a while, I saw Cao Cao wearing a purple silk cloud pattern robe, wearing a golden carved crown and slowly going up to the hall, and he was not surprised to see Xun Gang, and went straight to Liu Xie and said: "Minister Cao Cao, something is going on!" ”

"What?"

"Xuzhou Lu Bu and Xiaopei Liu Bei have a bad relationship, I have heard that Lu Bu has the heart of Yuan Shu, which is not conducive to my Han, and the minister asks for assistance to Liu Bei and crusade against Lu Bu!"

"Quasi-......"

Liu Xie was halfway through his words, but Xun Gang suddenly asked, "Cao Sikong, didn't Lu Bu just have a bad relationship with Yuan Shu?" How can you ally with Yuan Shu again, it's a true fallacy! ”

Cao Cao's breath was stagnant, he wanted to take this opportunity to crusade against Lu Bu, so he made up such a lie, and now it was broken by Xun Gang, so he was not embarrassed! I had to say: "Liu Bei asked for help, the situation was critical, and he had to do it as a last resort!" ”

Lu Bu did something to Liu Bei? It seems that the two sides are at loggerheads again. Xun Gang knew that Cao Cao wanted to take this opportunity to crusade against Lu Bu, so he had this act of bullying the king. However, Xun Gang didn't dare to join Cao Cao's book, so he could only say to Liu Xie: "Brother Huang, I have heard that Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and he can't save him; The younger brother hopes to go with Sikong, and hopes that the imperial brother will be allowed to play. ”

Xun Gang naturally had his considerations, he didn't plan to save him because of Liu Bei's faint bloodline, after all, clamping down on Liu Bei now and uniting with Sun Ce in Jiangdong was a secret move in his hands.

Liu Xie was also speechless, you must know when he was not allowed to play Cao Cao's recital? But he didn't know why Xun Gang wanted to go together. But the urgency of the military situation was unquestionable, and Liu Xie had to approve the matter of Xun Gang and Cao Cao.

Not to mention Liu Xie, Cao Cao doesn't know what Xun Gang is thinking, does he have to get involved in this kind of thing? However, the emperor spoke, and he couldn't refuse it, so he retired with Xun Gang.

"Sikong, I haven't fought side by side for a long time?" As soon as he left the palace gate, Xun Gang laughed with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao just glanced at him indifferently and didn't say anything, after all, he didn't know what Xun Gang was thinking.

"Sikong, don't be so indifferent, after all, I'm still hunting with Pi Gongzi!"

Xun Gang swaggered after Cao Cao, Cao Cao was annoyed, turned his head and asked, "Xun Gang, what do you want to do?" I don't even have room to refuse in front of Your Majesty! ”

Xun Gang smiled: "Naturally, it is to help Sikong share his worries." ”

Cao Cao was speechless, where are you worrying? It's clearly worrying! But I thought that he was just a child, so let him follow......

"Cao Sikong, why did Liu Bei and Lu Bu have a bad relationship?"

This is not a secret, and Cao Cao did not hide much: "I used your plan of 'driving the tiger and devouring the wolf', Liu Bei was attacked by Lu Bu when he attacked Yuan Shu, and his third brother Zhang Fei was killed......"

"Zhang Fei is dead?" Xun Gang was shocked, he never expected that Zhang Fei's courage would die, and according to the timeline, didn't he run out of the battle of Xiapi?

"How did you die?"

Cao Cao glanced at him: "It's not thanks to you, Zhang Fei drank the wine you brewed, got drunk in the banquet hall, and was cut off by Cao Bao's head......"

Xun Gang pursed his lips, and then was silent, he didn't expect that his wine could indirectly kill Zhang Fei; But after thinking about it, it's good that this guy is dead, Xun Gang has already seen that the reckless man is not pleasing to his eyes, he can't even speak, and he will die if he falls into his own hands!

Cao Cao continued: "Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and camped in Xiaopei, but he didn't expect that the thief's heart would not die and robbed the military horse that Lu Bu bought......"

Liu Bei grabbed military horses? How is this possible? Isn't Zhang Fei all dead, who is going to grab the horse?

It is said that Liu Bei was appointed as the county lieutenant of Anxi that year, and it happened that the superintendent asked for a bribe, and Liu couldn't stand him, so he personally whipped the superintendent. In the romance, this matter was added to Zhang Fei, if the current Liu Bei was still the previous Liu Bei, maybe he hated Lu Bu in his heart, and he really dared to rob Lu Bu's horses.

The two walked to the barracks, and all the sergeants saw Cao Cao, but they were quite puzzled by Xun Gang's arrival, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Cao and Xun Gang stood down, and the former shouted to his generals: "Xiao Pei needs to travel long distances for hundreds of miles, so I plan to hand over the vanguard task of rescuing Liu Bei to Xiahou Yuan...... Xiahou Yuan! ”

"The last general!"

"You immediately lead 3,000 troops, run thousands of miles, and go to Xiaopei to meet Liu Bei!"

"Yes!"

"Xiahoudun!"

"In!"

"You take it with you. Li Dian and the two, leading 8,000 troops, made a detour to attack Xuzhou! ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the people will go to Pei County with the army, and try their best to eliminate Lu Bu!"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao led the troops properly, and he had already laid out a strategy, but Xun Gang had another idea, and immediately asked: "Why is Sikong so eager to rescue Liu Bei, can't he march slowly?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, as if they were laughing at Xun Gang's ignorance, after all, how could rescue be so urgent?

But Cao Cao was not ordinary, he seemed to hear Xun Gang's voice, and his face sank: "You mean...... Let Liu Bei lead his troops to flee west, lead Lu Bu to the territory of Yuzhou, and destroy him in a battle? ”

"Exactly, and our army is rushing for thousands of miles, the enemy is waiting for work, and our army's chances of victory are unpredictable; On the contrary, if our army welcomes Lu Bu with leisure and hard work, won't it be a big victory? ”

"Brilliant plan! Xiahou Yuan, do you hear me? ”

"Yes!"

"Moreover, Liu Bei came thousands of miles to vote for Sikong, does Sikong want Liu Bei to bring thousands of elite soldiers to vote, or to vote alone?"

"Naturally, it is a one-man vote, if there are soldiers and horses, it is difficult to control."

Xun Gang smiled, Cao Cao immediately understood, this kid, does he want Liu Bei to be beaten and then save him? Although this strategy was quite ruthless, it killed two birds with one stone for Cao Cao. This not only gave Xiahoudun the opportunity to sneak attack Xuzhou, but also exterminated Lu Bu in one fell swoop, isn't it beautiful?

"It's up to you!"

This is the case with the army, otherwise it will only increase the casualties of the soldiers...... Seeing Xun Gang's dedication to his army, Cao Cao nodded slightly, as if his doubts about Xun Gang were getting smaller and smaller.
