Chapter 40, Xuzhou strategy continued

(Close to 3,000 words, kind, please collect and tickets!) ~)

Mi Zhu, the word Zizhong, Donghai Qu (now southwest of Lianyungang, Jiangsu) people, he is a famous wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, in addition to the ancestors of the previous generation of goods to leave enough capital for it, but also rely on his own careful management for good, Fang has now look at Xuzhou is also a unique scale.

Mi Zhu is graceful and generous, dignified and elegant, outstanding talent, he is also good at horseback riding, archery, but slightly inferior in military affairs, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian appreciates it, especially recruited for Xuzhou not to drive, to reach this position with a businessman's background, not everyone can do it, and in fact, Mi Zhu is not only good at business, but also has his own set in government affairs, it is not impossible to let him be alone.

It can be said that if Cao Cao can recruit this Mi Zhu to his command, Xuzhou, money, and talents will kill three birds with one stone.

Of course, even Guo Jia wouldn't know that if Mi Zhu really came to Cao Cao's hands, there would be more than just talents, and possibly women......

"However," Guo Jia's analysis is not over, he is a person who pursues perfection, and naturally there will be no mistakes or omissions on the issue of Xuzhou, "In addition to the Chen family and the Mi family, there is another local power lord who also needs to be decided, this family is surnamed Cao, and the lord is also considered to be the family, and the head of his family is called Cao Bao, but it is said that he has a close connection with the Huainan Yuan Shu......"

Yuan Shu is considered to be one of the rare places, one of the most complete among the seventeen princes in the Battle of the Tiger Prison, originally he recruited to participate in the battle against Dong Coalition Army, and he could not have played much role in the Battle of the Tiger Prison, if he was also cannon fodder, but because of his identity and the entanglement and containment of various forces, he was able to keep a battle until the Yanshi, but he didn't expect that after this battle, the peak turned around, and Yuan Shu's team was also considered to have experienced the war. Recruits who are completely rookies are completely different from soldiers who have experienced the war, even if there is still a gap in combat effectiveness, but this can be tempered through daily training, and the experience of experiencing the battle formation is the most valuable, and only when they go to the battlefield again can they ensure that they can effectively exert their actual combat effectiveness.

It can be said that after this great battle, Yuan Shu's strength has not decreased, but even faintly increased.

However, Cao Cao didn't take Yuan Shu in his eyes, only to see him sneer and say: "The fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, but the three Yuan of the princes of Fang Jin (that is, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yi) are only Yuan Benchu can make me happy. I think that if Cao Bao has a little eyes, he will not be embarrassed by me in the matter of Xuzhou, otherwise he will have to let Chen Hanyu and Mi Zizhong jointly suppress it, and be sure to strangle an unfavorable factor in front. ”

Cao Cao said this, it seems very confident, but what he said is not a lie, after Guo Jia said this, he is full of confidence in taking Xuzhou, as for the matter of Yanzhou, he no longer thinks about it, and in fact, he now also sees the shortcomings in Yanzhou, compared to Xuzhou, although it is more remote, but can avoid the intrusion of other princes, can let him develop in a low-key manner, not to mention, there is a chance or no opportunity to create his own zĂ o opportunity, he can also go up to Qingzhou, go down to Yangzhou, and it is not too late to go back and take Yanzhou again.

Different from the original history, now the north is the most crowded, Dong Zhuo will not say it, the Xiliang area can't be squeezed into it at all, as for the land of Jizhou and Youzhou, Cao Cao will definitely hit a gray face if he inserts it into it, these places seem to be calm now, but a common feature is that it is difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold here, especially Cao Cao is now preparing to make a comeback, it is impossible to put himself in danger at any time, and can only temporarily stay away from the center of the Central Plains, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and even Yangzhou are all good places, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, And now the situation is that Yanzhou is too close and Yangzhou is too far away, so Guo Jiahui naturally took these realities into account. …,

Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Jia, and also got up and arched his hand towards Cao Cao and said: "Lord, I think that what Feng Xiao said is reasonable, the lord wanted to take Yanzhou first, but it was to see the ownerless land of Yanzhou, but after Liu Dai's death, Yanzhou was already a people's heart, and Liu Cong, the king of Napei, his thoughts are not known, in this case, it is better to seek the near and far, although Tao Qian of Xuzhou is here, but when the alliance is in the lord and his friendship, plus Tao Xuzhou has always been kind, can leave a place for the lord, as long as the lord can settle down again, Tao Qian is not to worry, That Chen Qi and Mi Zhu can be co-opted, and no matter how bad they are, they can use some means, as for Cao Bao, there is a little bit of his news, this person is really not worried. ”

People like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are not sitting alone at home watching the world surge, they have also traveled everywhere to increase their knowledge, so it is not uncommon for them to have an understanding of the situation in Xuzhou, which is thousands of miles away.

If you really do what they say, in fact, Cao Cao is a little unkind, this is obviously bullying honest people, but he has to play tricks to prevent outsiders from knowing, but for the current Cao Cao, this is undoubtedly the best move for him to break the deadlock in his development at the moment.

Cao Cao suddenly smiled at this time: "Speaking of which, in fact, it's just our self-righteousness, if Chen Hanyu and Mi Zizhong don't mean this at all, wouldn't they be self-inflicted?" ”

Guo Jia also laughed and said, "In this case, why not give it a try?" ”

——A few days later, Chen's family in Xiapi County, Xuzhou.

The Chen family's own family is here, but now most of the people who stay here are Chen Jue and some old people of the Chen family, most of them followed the head of the family to Zhitan County, Xuzhou Prefecture, because he was hired by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian as the captain of the agricultural school, with his side, it was very important, and the relationship between Chen Deng and Tao Qian was also more of this kindness.

But today Chen Deng is in this old family house, in the spacious meeting hall, at this moment there is only him and an old man, he treats the old man very respectfully, and calls him father, this old man is naturally Chen Deng's father, Chen Qi Chen Hanyu.

Chen Jue is worthy of being a celebrity, old age, but still energetic, a pair of old eyes are not turbid but wise to see through the brilliance of the world, he is wearing a comfortable robe, crane hair, standing tall, but there is a feeling of being out of the world.

Chen Deng was born handsome and heroic, he was slender, generous, and had a family style, but this person who was also regarded as a person with status and face outside, when he came to the house, he faced this father who seemed to be careless, but he still respected him from the bottom of his heart, and at this moment, his eyes were still carefully observing Chen Qi's expression, as well as the piece of paper between the index finger and middle finger in Chen Qi's hand.

This is a letter, the material of the paper used is good, this is not an ordinary person's home, so solemn can also be seen that the other party's origin and purpose are not simple.

Chen Deng naturally had already read the content, and it was precisely because of this that he hurried back to find his father, and he still relied on Chen Jue a little, especially when he felt that he really couldn't be the master in this kind of thing.

After a long time, it felt as if Chen Jue was asleep, Chen Deng carefully called "father", the old man's slightly narrowed eyes opened slightly, and he also raised his head slightly to look at him, with questions in his eyes and seemed to be asking him why.

Chen Deng was a little confused, not knowing what his father meant by this, but still asked, "What does my father think?" ”

Chen Qi pondered for a while, and said slowly in his unique old voice that sounded in Chen Deng's ears but contained some wonderful power: "Yuanlong, you are now the head of the Chen family, don't you have some opinions on this kind of thing?" ”

Chen Deng was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating, and then he spoke: "Father, the child thinks that this Cao Mengde's request is really ridiculous. He was chased by Lu Fengxian twice before, after the battle of the Tiger Prison, the soldiers under his command were wiped out, and even the brothers in the clan were captured, and they have become the laughing stock of the world. ”…,

Chen Qi comforted him with his hand, but his words were still not in a hurry: "Yuanlong, your temperament is too anxious, and some things are still not clear." If there is a big chaos today, the Han family is crumbling, but the name is still there, although Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and others are temporarily powerful, but they are only the end of the strong crossbow, since there is a first time in the Dong Alliance, there will be no second time, but the situation in the world is changing, and the princes are temporarily fighting for their own interests because of their interests, but it will not last long, and when they can no longer divide each other, it is the time to unite and drive Dong Zhuo again. ”

Chen Deng was a little puzzled: "But Dong Zhuo can also recuperate, the princes fight for territory, conquest each other, consume strength, and also give him the opportunity, say that there is no way to take advantage of the fire to rob, one and the other......"

Chen Qi stroked his long beard, showed a scheming smile, and said: "It's normal that Yuanlong didn't see it, I know that Yuanlong has always been friendly with that Liu Xuzhou, but he has been wiped out in the battle of Tiger Prison, when the trend of today's great changes, my Chen family also needs to find a way out, is there a better choice than this Cao Mengde?" ”

Compared with Chen Deng, who is somewhat emotional, Chen Qi is very sober, in fact, although Cao Cao believes in Guo Jia's analysis, he is also mentally prepared that Xuzhou will not be so easy to win, but since he has decided to take here, who can hinder him now?

And Chen Qi has an old eye and rich experience, how could he not have expected this situation, in this case, can he watch his family and son be destroyed?

Of course, he is already old and will eventually leave, and when the time comes, he will rely on Chen Deng himself, so he asked Chen Deng just now to let him see through it himself, but ...... Since this is the case, I will do one more thing in the end, and I can also have something to trust when the time comes, but I don't know if I can trust Cao Mengde to someone.
