The location where Chen Xiu's dagger was inserted was Qingzhou Qi State, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood Chen Xiu's intentions.

Qingzhou was originally a group of dragons without a leader, and the more bullish one is that Kong Rong in Beihai has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and in the hearts of the people in the deep Beihai, in addition to the yellow turban thieves in the huge Qingzhou, it can be said that Kong Rong's power is the most powerful.

Whether it is against the Yellow Turban Thief with strong troops, or against the powerful Beihai Kong Rong, for Cao Cao today, these two parties are not something he can eat.

Qingzhou can be said to have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Beihai State was able to survive unharmed, and Kong Rong can be said to have contributed a lot.

The rest of the counties and countries suffered a lot of blows and damages, and even one county was killed.

Qi can now be said to be a borderless land, under the rule of Qi under the rule of Linzi, Xi'an, Changguo, Banyang, Guangxian, Linqu six counties are their own government, for Cao Cao, who now has only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, one by one is the best choice, so that the least loss can be exchanged for the greatest benefit.

"The general Qi country is so big, according to the general's current strength, swallowing the Qi country in one bite will inevitably be a little powerless, even if the general swallows it, but the general can guarantee that he can hold the offensive of the princes of Jizhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou?"

"Yes"

Seeing that Cao Cao wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Xiu waved his hand to interrupt what Cao Cao wanted to say next, only to hear Chen Xiu say this: "As long as the general pays enough benefits in this world, the father can still abandon the son, and the son can still kill the father, so what is the difficulty of letting Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and others join forces to attack the general." ”

These words directly broke the last trace of fantasy in Cao Cao's heart! As long as you pay enough benefits, let Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and others stop and join forces to deal with themselves, what is the difficulty.

Thinking of such benefits, Yuan Shao is very willing to pay, because in this way, he can withdraw from the embattled environment and defeat his opponents one by one!

But he lacks an opportunity, an opportunity that can attract the attention of most people!

If Cao Cao dared to swallow the Qi State, then he would have a way to make Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian temporarily stop and turn their heads to attack Cao Cao.

And he can spare his hands to deal with Zhang Yan in Montenegro, only after getting rid of Zhang Yan, there is no internal worry in Jizhou, with the strong strength of Jizhou, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan and Xuzhou Tao Gongzu are just his things.

After Cao Cao took Taishan County, he was silent for half a year, and for half a year, the princes of the surrounding counties let down their guard.

But Cao Cao can't just shrink in such a small place forever, he must develop himself, but development is a kung fu, and he can't blindly expand, and the ultimate price of blind expansion is only self-destruction.

"General, you only need to take the two counties of Banyang and Changguo, so that Beihai Kongrong and Xuzhou Taoqian can't say anything, it's just two counties, not one county, and the capital of Qi is in Linzi, and the general has not taken Linzi, he is already in the face of the rest of the princes.

Moreover, now that Yuan Shao's strength is huge, there are Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Montenegro Zhang Yan attacking, Tao Qian should know which light and which is heavy, as for Kong Rong in Beihai, he is also busy suppressing bandits now, if he takes the Qi State, I am afraid that he will be fried, but if he only takes the irrelevant Changguo and Banyang, Kong Rong can only turn a blind eye. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a while, as Chen Xiu said, taking these two counties can just meet his current strength, and any more can only bring about his own destruction.

And he took a look at the location of these two counties, Banyang and Taishan County are connected, it can be said that it is effortless to take Banyang, and the significance of taking Banyang is not much, but it is different to take Changguo, the geographical location of Changguo is just in the belly of Qi State, as long as Changguo is won, and so on in the future, you can take Linzi and other counties in one fell swoop, so as to hold Qi firmly in your hands.

"But Jingzhi is like this, and it can't play a role, and now the strength of Taishan County is still too weak, and it is still difficult to attack the city."

The position of Yanzhou is too embarrassing, and if you want to have the strength to compete with Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou, the strength of more than 20,000 troops is really not enough.

"Why should the general be in a hurry, when the time comes, the general doesn't have to worry about this, Yuan Benchu can be like this, can't the general?

Now the general's first responsibility is to recruit a wide range of talents, and then distribute the wealth and food, and wait for the time to come. ”

Chen Xiu smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Cao Cao's body, he knew that this half a year of recuperation also made this sitting a little irritable.

The purpose of sending troops to Qingzhou and taking the two counties of Banyang and Changguo of Qi is to let Cao Cao temper and temper and show his edge, and not let the comfort of Mount Tai consume his ambition.

After coming to Mount Tai for half a year, Cao Cao did the most was to spend money everywhere to buy grain, of course, this money was not the kind of penniless money that Dong Zhuo did.

After buying it in Taishan County, Cao Cao went to other states and counties to buy it, of course, Cao Cao didn't dare to make a big splash about this move of buying grain.

Whether it was his father Cao Song or his brother Wei Zi, there would be several loyal caravans in their hands, and with the limited resources at hand, Cao Cao could hide from others and buy a large amount of food, but because of this, Cao Cao almost ran out of money.

Cao Cao has always felt this way when he bought too much food, but since Chen Xiu said this, no matter how unwilling he was in his heart, Cao Cao would grit his teeth and do it, just because since he knew him, Chen Xiu did not say that he had missed a thing.

Now Cao Cao has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but the food in his hands can support more than 20,000 people and horses for ten years!

It is enough to see how amazing the food in Cao Cao's hands is!

Now it's just that Cao Cao has no money in his hands, otherwise Cao Cao is estimated to continue to buy it.

"General, this battle will give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and repair and take the two counties of Banyang and Changguo for the general."

After a long time, the feather fan in Chen Xiu's hand shook and opened his mouth to say his request.

Hearing this, Cao Cao pondered, and then nodded: "Since this is the case, this battle will be carried out by Jingzhi, I don't know who else is needed for this battle." ”

"General, let Miaocai go with me, and as for the others, let them guard Taishan County in case of accidents!"

"That's great!"

Cao Cao nodded, if he didn't bring a general, Cao Cao didn't worry about Chen Xiu's safety, but he brought too much, for Taishan County, which had just been stable for half a year, it was extremely bad to have no generals to guard.

The corners of Chen Xiu's mouth raised slightly when he heard this, he had been in this world for several years, and he could finally try his skills on the battlefield, try what he had learned over the years, whether it was useful or useless after all.
