Yuzhou, in April, the time of spring and summer, a hundred flowers bloom, a piece of red, purple and green, Cao Cao's early years of Tuntian, now the surrounding fields, are all a piece of green.

Xu Du.

It has been more than three days since Cao Cao returned from Nanyang.

This battle destroyed the small country of Nanyang, showing the demeanor of Wei as a great country in one fell swoop.

In this battle of Nanyang, there was no suspense, Cao Cao's 100,000 soldiers directly pressed Wancheng, Zhang Xiu only resisted for more than a month, the soldiers were unfavorable, there was a shortage of food in the city, and he surrendered directly in desperation.

Cao Cao effortlessly solved the Nanyang Kingdom, not only got the big county Nanyang County, but also took Zhang Ji's widow Mrs. Zou into his arms, and had a good look.

Zhang Xiu was angry, not that he didn't think about leading his troops to sneak attack, but the effect of this time was very different from the one in history, because Cao Cao's military advisor was Guo Jia, Guo Jia was known as a ghost in history, and one person changed the pattern.

Zhang Xiu's sneak attack had already gotten the news that Guo Jia's ghost pawns had gotten the news, and under the heavy precautions of the Wei army, an invitation to enter the urn came, and the sneak attack turned into a battle like a drill.

Zhang Xiu had no intention of fighting to the death after all, and finally surrendered directly, and even the military power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was handed over, and Hu Che'er, the first fierce general under his command, was also recruited by Cao Cao.

He was demoted to the Marquis of Nanyang by Cao Cao, although he still suppressed Nanyang, but there were a few more generals of the Cao family around him, even if he wanted to rebel, he could not mobilize his troops, and he could only defend and hand over the border of Chu for the Wei State.

Cao Cao's battle can be described as a complete victory, which is 108,000 miles different from the battle in history in which the soldiers were lost and the sons and nephews were lost.

This battle made him high-spirited, and on the day when the class teacher returned to the dynasty, the ministers of Wei State greeted him for ten miles, and the momentum was immense.

……

Xudu was originally a small city, and now it is the capital of the Wei king, and it is constantly expanding, and it is not a relatively majestic new city, of course, compared to the Jinling City of Wu State, the difference is 108,000 miles.

Today, no royal city can compare to Jinling City, even Chang'an City, the royal capital under Li Wei's command.

The palace of Wei is located in the east of the capital of Xu, and it is even worse than the palace of Chu, after all, in terms of wealth, Wei is far worse than Chu, and Cao Cao, a heroic man who aspires to the world, is not a luxury person.

"Zhicai, you're here!"

In an ordinary courtyard of the palace, Cao Cao was in high spirits, sitting on a gazebo with a burly body, and his eyes watched Xi Zhicai walk in, his expression slightly happy.

"Minister Xi Zhicai, meet the king!"

Xi Zhicai did not wear an official robe, an ordinary Confucian robe, and bowed down.

The vassal states of the world, the state system is basically copied from the Han Dynasty, the Wei State is also the system of three princes and nine secretaries, the prime minister is Xun Yu, but the most trusted thing by Cao Cao, the king of Wei, is Taiwei Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, this is not a court, you don't need to be polite, sit down!" Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "Summoning you here today, it's just that Lone has heard a happy good news and wants to share it with you!" ”

In the East China Sea, Xi Zhicai proposed to put Sun Quan back to suppress the little overlord Sun Ce, but now it seems that it is really a long-term plan.

"What the king said is nothing more than the matter of the two heroes breaking up and the brothers breaking up in Jinling City!" Xi Zhicai sat down, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly.

This matter has already spread from Wu State, and the world is famous.

"Hahaha, no one who knows me is better than ambition!"

Cao Cao laughed proudly: "Lone finally saw such a day, in the past, their brothers chased Lone in the sky and on the ground, there was no way out, how to see them killing each other, Lone was very happy, Sun Ce and Sun Quan's two sons were his proud sons of King Wu Sun Jian, how to meet his Sun Jian had a headache!" ”

"Your Majesty, you're too early to be happy!"

Xi Zhicai's brows moved, and suddenly a basin of cold water rushed to the sky and poured down, chilling Cao Cao's heart.

"Huh!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his laughter was put aside, like a big rooster who was suddenly pinched by his neck, his expression was a little disappointed, he glanced at Xi Zhicai, and said complainingly: "Zhicai, can't you make Gu happy first?" ”

"The king, the minister will tell you the truth!"

Xi Zhicai said lightly, Cao Cao is now the king of Wei, his majesty is even greater, and there are many flatterers, and there are few people who can tell the truth in front of him.

But Xi Zhicai is still the same, just say if he is wrong, there is no tactfulness at all, which is why Cao Cao has always trusted him unreservedly.

"Well, tell me your truth!"

Cao Cao shrugged, a little helpless, but his face instantly became solemn.

"Sun Quan is too smart, when he understands that there is no way to retreat, he will choose to advance as retreat, the king thinks that this is Sun Quan's declaration of war, and a certain is just the opposite, this is Sun Quan's strategy!"

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, his gaze crossed a different color, and said softly.

"Sun Quan's strategy?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression was a little puzzled, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked puzzledly: "He is so fanfare, for the position of the crown prince, he declared war on the eldest brother, and the matter of brother rivalry is not only circulated by Wu Guo, but is known to the whole world, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"The minister can only say that Sun Quan still hasn't made up his mind in his heart to fight with Sun Ce!"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, the shape is not up to people, since he Sun Quan has already stepped out of this step, we absolutely cannot afford to retreat, and the minister doesn't mind adding a fire to him!" ”

"How?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"Sun Zhongmou's wedding is imminent, and the king should show his heart a little." Xi Zhicai said thoughtfully: "Although Wei and Wu have not made friends, Sun Quan got married, in order to show that Wei is willing to make friends with Wu Guo's heart, the eldest prince came to congratulate him, and said the past!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao slapped his thigh, hahaha laughed, he is also a smart person, he immediately understood Xi Zhicai's thoughts, and said loudly: "This plan is wonderful, if the people of the world only recognize Sun Zhongmou and not Sun Bofu, Sun Bofu, the unparalleled wild lion, should also be furious, how is it good to look at him Sun Zhongmou?" ”

This is called praising and killing, which is a conspiracy to openly and openly provoke the relationship between their brothers.

"The king, the affairs of the royal family, the minister should not say much, but when the king is calculating the Sun family brothers, there are also people who will calculate the Cao family brothers, the eldest prince is very good, and the second prince has also grown up, the king has to watch the backyard!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao in joy, and he could also imagine Sun Jian in helplessness, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly said.

Ordinary people say this, even if Cao Cao doesn't cut off his head personally, he will be very angry, but Xi Zhicai said it, but Cao Cao's face changed slightly.

If it weren't for what happened, Xi Zhi wouldn't have said that.

"Zhicai, there are only you and me here, and we have something to say!"

Cao Cao's face turned cold, and there was a haze in his eyes.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "This matter should not be said by the minister, when the king personally investigates and joins the Wei royal family, the minister just advises the king, the Cao family is the Wei royal family, the family is restless, and the state affairs are uneasy!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood that it should not be that Cao Ang and Cao Pi had any disputes, but that someone in his harem wanted to plan for Cao Pi.

Cao Pi is less than ten years old this year, the first battle of Nanyang, the first time he went to the battlefield with his brother Cao Ang, the table is also decent, there is no brave three armies, but there is no timidity.

"This matter will be investigated by myself!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked, "By the way, Zhicai, Jia Wen and this person, how to deal with Lone?" ”

Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu's strategist, the sneak attack he planned single-handedly almost made him plant a big heel in Nanyang, fortunately Guo Jia found it early, and now this person has been brought back by him Xu Du.

But how to deal with it, Cao Cao was a little troubled, he wanted to use it, but he was a little afraid.

Every supreme strategist, if he returns to his heart, is naturally a great help, and if he is not concentric, he will use it as a sword that can hurt himself.

"The heart of the king, can you accommodate this person?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

"If he can be used by Lonely, how can Lone not tolerate it!" Cao Cao's eyes burst out with a hot light, and there was a bold bearing, and he said loudly.

"Zhang Xiu has surrendered, there is General Cao Ren in Nanyang, he can't make trouble, Jia Xu is this person, available, if the lord is willing, then let him go to the ghost pawn!"

Xi Zhicai squinted, his eyes flashed with this sharp light, and he said in a low voice: "Looking at this person's experience, his way of doing things, he likes the sword to go sideways, he doesn't move, he moves like thunder, he is ruthless, he kills decisively, his methods are very old and spicy, he is more suitable for ghosts than Fengxiao." ”

"Ghost?"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and was a little hesitant, this is a great weapon of the Wei State, and he must be cautious.

"King, the ghost pawn has always been inferior to the Jinyi Wei of the Wu State, and several encounters have made the Jinyi Guard pressed and beaten, and this time the stronghold of the ghost pawn of the Chu State almost made the Jinyi Wei a nest."

Xi Zhicai added, "Although Jinyiwei was established a few years earlier than the ghost pawn, why can't the ghost pawn keep up with the footsteps of Jinyiwei, in the final analysis, it's not that our ghost pawn is inferior to their Jinyi guard, but that Fengxiao is not as good as Li Nie!" ”

"Fengxiao's talents are extraordinary, and his wisdom is unique, how can he be inferior to a Liaodong son Li Nie?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, very uncertain.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are both henchmen he can absolutely trust, and Guo Jiacai's learning and strategy are definitely not under Xi Zhicai.

"It's not that Fengxiao is not as wise as him, but ...... It's not as ruthless as he is! ”

Xi Zhicai said lightly: "The confrontation between the two countries involves thousands of soldiers and horses, the lives of millions of people, just to win or lose, unscrupulous means, so there will be ghost pawns, the preservation of Jinyi Guard, the wisdom and strategy of filial piety, are all top-notch, not under anyone, but in charge of ghost pawns, he is not as good as a heart!" ”

"Who is this Li Nie?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was silent for a while, and he acquiesced to Xi Zhicai's statement, and sighed a little.

"So-and-so is now also investigating his roots."

Xi Zhicai squinted, there was always a cold light in his eyes, Li Nie seemed to come out of the sky, even Liaodong didn't have much news about him, which made him very puzzled.

This man is talented, resourceful, and ruthless, and he is by no means an idle person, and it is impossible to remain unheard of.

"Liu Bei, what do you think?" Since there is a drama to top Li Nie, Cao Cao is no longer worried, he changed the topic and asked.

"The king fought in Xinye, he should have specially helped him!" Xi Zhicai smiled and said.

"Lone just thinks that with him in the Chu State, Lone doesn't need to transfer the elite soldiers under his command to the Chu State to guard against it!" Cao Cao said indifferently.

"Chen thinks that you can give him a little help!"

Xi Zhicai agreed with Cao Cao's thoughts, and said softly: "With him making trouble in the Chu State, Liu Biao is absolutely unable to go north, we can wholeheartedly prepare for the battle against the Lu State!" ”

"Wu Guo is also eyeing Lu Guo, this battle is not easy to fight!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes slightly and sighed softly.
