Seeing Cao Cāo fall to the ground, Xiao Tianzi was not happy at all, but a little disappointed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info because the possibility he said is just one of the many possibilities that Xun You told him two hours ago, Cao Cāo said that he was Shengming, but in fact, it should be Xun You and Liu Xiu behind Xun You, and it has nothing to do with him as an emperor.

If Xun Yu was convinced that Zhou Yu was still a little suspected of bullying the young, Xiao Tianzi was not completely convinced, but Xun You's unpredictable prophet analyzed the possible reaction of the Yuan family, and Cao Cāo's conjecture also completely fell within Xun You's prediction, which made Xiao Tianzi really feel the cleverness of Xun You and the military strategists he brought.

He knew that this was a great gift from Liu Xiu, but he just couldn't be happy. Xun You said that he was the best military strategist around Liu Xiu, and several other people were also outstanding, but Xiao Tianzi knew that the best strategist around Liu Xiu was not Xun You, but Yan Zhong and Jia Xu, two Liangzhou people. Yan Zhong is now assisting the eldest princess to sit in Yizhou, and Jia Xu is assisting Zhao Yun to sit in Yizhou, so it can be said that the people of Liangzhou are an indispensable half of the country under Liu Xiu's command.

But Liu Xiu, a native of Liangzhou, didn't arrange it for him.

Cao Cāo lay on the ground, and didn't hear the sound of Xiao Tianzi asking him to get up for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he coughed and reminded Xiao Tianzi, Xiao Tianzi came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked him to get up, and asked about other related situations. Although he tried his best to hide it, he was a child after all, and in front of people like Cao Cāo, the frustration and loss in his eyes were exposed.

Cao Cāo didn't know why Bai Zi was in such a mood, in his opinion. Xiao Tianzi can see this, and he has enough capital to be proud. He also thought about this possibility, but he was immediately denied by himself, because there were more than 20,000 forbidden troops around the Son of Heaven, and it was impossible for Yuan Kui to defend the Son of Heaven head-on with the troops left in Runan, but he didn't think about it further, once he entered the army between Liang Pei. After being entangled by Yuan Kui's forces attacking Guangling, the area around Revolving Gate Pass and Xingyang was exposed.

It's not that Cao Cāo isn't smart enough, it's that he doesn't think well enough. There are always blind spots in personal thinking, and it is normal that the military planning group led by Xun You does not think as comprehensively. Xiao Tianzi could think of this, and Cao Cāo was not shocked. It's just that he thinks it's not easy for such a big child to have such a mind, so he doesn't understand Xiao Tianzi's frustration.

Xiao Tianzi asked some more about the situation of the battle, and then asked Cao Cāo's opinion. Cao Cāo said his thoughts very cautiously, he felt that after the defeat of Yuan Shu, the power of the Yuan family in the Jianghuai area was greatly reduced, and it was a good time to fight with Liu Xiu in the north and south, solve Yuan Kui, and then further go north to conquer Yuan Shao, which was the safest plan. But he didn't dare to say that, because of Liu Xiu's attitude. Whether he would go to war or not, and in what way, Cao Cāo did not know at all, in other words, Cao Cāo could only make suggestions for his own affairs. Everything else has to be carefully bypassed.

Why Liu Xiu was jealous of the Son of Heaven, and why his daughter Liu He was snubbed by the Son of Heaven, Cao Cāo knew this, and he didn't want to follow in Liu Xiu's footsteps. The purpose of his rush here was to find out how the next battle would go, and his men and horses were in one place with the forbidden army brought by the Son of Heaven. Or continue to divide the troops, if the troops are divided, how to cooperate, these are all problems, if you don't figure it out, you can't fight the next battle.

Seeing that Cao Cāo's speech was not pleasant, Xiao Tianzi was a little disappointed, and he was not interested in talking any further, so he politely comforted Cao Cāo a few words, and asked him to go down and rest first. Cao Cāo retreated, but instead of going to the arranged post house to rest, he went straight to the residence of the Queen Mother to ask for a meeting.

The Empress Dowager already knew that Cao Cāo was coming, and immediately asked people to invite him in. After Cao Cāo finished saluting, he directly raised his own question: what is the next strategic arrangement.

Empress Dowager Song furrowed her brows, she didn't understand anything about the war, so far, the Son of Heaven is the nominal commander, and the hussar general Song Feng is the real commander, but the main ones are the Taiwei Duan Cheng and Situ Lu Zhi, I heard that Duan Cheng is not in good health in the past two days, and Lu Zhi has always been in charge.

"Lu Zhi?" Cao Cāo pondered for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. Lu Zhi is indeed both civil and military, and has experience in leading troops, but in the final analysis, he is at most just quelling small rebellions in some places, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he also fought a few battles, winning and losing, although it cannot be said that he does not know soldiers, but compared with famous generals like Duan Cheng, Lu Zhi still has a gap. Cao Cāo heard some discord from this candidate, and he asked tentatively: "How is the old department of Duan Gong doing?" ”

"The old department?" Empress Dowager Song was a little dazed, and after a while, she remembered who Cao Cāo was referring to: "You mean Xia Yu and Tian Yan?" ”

"Yes, yes, there are also Dong Zhuo and Yin Duan, although they are Zhang Gong's subordinates, they are all from Liangzhou, and now they are ......"

Before Cao Cāo finished speaking, Empress Dowager Song smiled bitterly and interrupted Cao Cāo's words: "Don't mention Liangzhou, Your Majesty has been most worried about Liangzhou recently." ”

Cao Cāo was shocked. "What's wrong with Liangzhou?"

"I don't know exactly what the situation is. I don't know much about military affairs, so you better ask the hussar general, and then ask your son Cao Ang, the Son of Heaven rarely tells me these things, I only know that Duan Xuan is sick, and it seems to have something to do with it. ”

Cao Cāo's face changed suddenly. The Liangzhou people are the main force in the forbidden army today, and the reason why the forbidden army can protect Gyeonggi with 20,000 people has a lot to do with the courage and good fighting of the Liangzhou people. Now that the war is imminent, it is about to rely on the efforts of the people of Liangzhou and offend the people of Liangzhou, and the forbidden army is likely to collapse in an instant.

Cao Cāo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said goodbye, but the Empress Dowager Song stopped him, hesitated for a while, and said to Cao Cāo: "Your Majesty likes your daughter Cao Rui very much, and I like her very much." I want to wait until they are all fourteen years old, and then they will be named a beauty, what do you think? ”

Cao Cāo understood what the Empress Dowager Song meant, and was named a beauty, not a dowry, that is to say, don't think about the position of the queen, it is reserved for Liu Xiu's daughter Liu He, say hello to you first, don't have too high expectations.

"The little girl is arrogant, she is not suitable to enter the palace, since the Queen Mother and Her Majesty favor her, how dare the ministers disobey." Cao cāo bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty." ”

Empress Dowager Song nodded with satisfaction, and encouraged: "Although your surname is Cao, you are close to the Song family and are like one. You have done a great job again, and I will not forget it. You and the prince of Chu are the pillars of my Han Dynasty, and both are indispensable, and I hope that you can unite and assist Your Majesty to quell the Yuan rebellion, restore peace in the world, and be rich and prosperous in the future. ”

Cao Cāo hurriedly thanked him again, and then withdrew. As soon as he went out, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his mind became heavier and heavier. Cheng Yu, who was waiting outside the door, saw his expression, and immediately greeted him, and asked with his eyes about the situation he had just seen. Cao Cāo looked around and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to speak, I will go to see the hussar general, and when I get to the post house, I will discuss with you." ”

Cheng Yu heard the wrong accent, and secretly frowned, but didn't say more, got on his horse with Cao Cāo, and rushed to the camp of the hussar general Song Feng. Song Feng was discussing with the generals in the tent, and when he heard that Cao Cāo was coming, he hurriedly asked people to come out to greet him. Cao Cāo entered the tent, but saw more than a dozen people sitting in the tent, Song Feng was sitting in the middle, Lu Zhi was on the left, but there was an empty seat on the right, presumably Taiwei Duan Cheng did not come. The others were sitting on both sides, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others were there, but their faces were not very good, as if they had just had an argument.

Cao Cāo stepped forward to greet Song Feng and Lu Zhi, greeted the others affectionately, and then sat down, looked around, and said with a deliberate smile: "Why, you don't welcome me, when you see me coming in, one by one it is like seeing a debt collector, I don't seem to have borrowed money from you." ”

Song Feng was in a dilemma, and Cao Cāo took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment for him, and he couldn't ask for it. Lu Zhi kept silent with a calm face, Shi Zhujun, the head of the Taiwei Mansion, also pretended not to hear it, Xia Yu and the others looked at each other and felt that something was wrong, Dong Zhuoqiang laughed: "The general is laughing, we don't welcome the general, it's just that everyone had a dispute just now." The general came just in time, so let's take a closer look and see how we can win next. ”

"Okay, since you think so highly of me, then I won't be presumptuous, throw bricks and lead the way, and let's discuss it together." Cao Cāo pretended to be elated and said loudly. Song Feng coughed and gave Zhu Jun a look. Zhu Jun had no choice but to stand up, point to the map, and repeat what they were arguing about just now.

In fact, the disagreement is the same as Cao Cāo's worries, that is, they can't figure out Liu Xiu's current movements, and they don't know whether Liu Xiu's promised troops will be in place, whether they will go all out or be perfunctory. Lu Zhi insisted that Liu Xiu would do his best, and the sailors led by Gan Ning and the infantry led by Fu Xie would definitely attack with all their might, so he asked to attack Yuan Kui south first. Xia Yu and others thought that Gan Ning and Fu Xie were just containment, and if they wanted to fight Yuan Kui, they would have to rely on the forbidden army led by the Son of Heaven and Cao Cāo's army in the end, and they couldn't pin their hopes on Liu Xiu. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was expressed, the Son of Heaven's jealousy and suppression of Liu Xiu had already made Liu Xiu dare not make meritorious contributions, so it was impossible for him to go all out, otherwise he would definitely come here in person, instead of only sending ten military schemes.

Cao Cāo heard some meaning at this time, it turned out that Liu Xiu didn't plan to come at all. He pondered for a moment and asked Song Feng softly, "Military strategy? Who is the leader? ”

"Xun You."

"Is it Xun Yu Xun Gongda of Yingchuan?"

"Exactly. They also arrived at noon, and in the afternoon they talked about military affairs in the presence of His Majesty. ”

"And what is their opinion?"

"They didn't give an opinion, they had several plans, but they couldn't see what the general of the Che Cavalry meant, so we had a dispute."

Cao Cāo rolled his eyes and asked again, "Then what is Your Majesty's attitude?" ”

"Your Majesty." Song Feng didn't say anything, just blinked his eyes, Cao Cāo understood, and his heart couldn't help but darken. Needless to say, the Son of Heaven's attitude towards Xun Yu is definitely not good, and the precautions are still the same, so Duan Cheng simply did not come to participate. Because Duan Cheng knew very well that if Liu Xiu did not participate in the war, this battle would not be easy to fight.
