"Jingzhou is already in the bag, so when will you use troops against Jiangdong?" , Cao Cao sat on the main seat and asked questions around, his heart was probably impatient; "A few days ago, Wei Hong from Yizhou came with news, Sun Quan's account Zhuge Jin went to Shuchuan, the two have formed an alliance, such as today's three points are a foregone conclusion, our family is dominant, they can only fight together! This has initially formed a fixed pattern, and in the future, no matter which one is dominant, it will cause the other two to join forces, so as not to be broken by each! So, we are now thinking more carefully and comprehensively than ever! Li Yu got up and expressed his opinion first; Especially after we took Jingzhou, Liu Bei in the west and Sun Quan in the east, the inevitable mutiny can not be considered, but this is also the enemy left and right, Jingzhou has just been taken, the foundation is not stable, and it is recommended that the prime minister stabilize Jingzhou first, and Xu Tu will plan later! Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly and said; Well! What you said makes sense, but our foundation is not stable, and Sun Quan is also not stable, this is a great opportunity to destroy Jiangdong in one fell swoop! Give them some more time, it would be a shame if they formed a monolith! Cao Cao nodded, but what he said was full of thoughts of sending troops; Prime Minister! I thought that Jiangdong Sun Quan was not terrible! Because he has some defects in his congenital development, the most important thing is that they have lived in Jiangdong for a long time, lack of elite iron cavalry and infantry, and it is too difficult to launch an attack on the Central Plains, that is to say, they are not enterprising enough!

And Xishu Liu Bei is different, he now has the long-famous Mr. Dumb, Shuchuan Haojie Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, as well as the two brothers Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and countless fierce generals, especially Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren and others, he is now full-fledged; In addition, the external roads of Shuchuan are rugged, but the interior is extremely rich, enough to raise more than 500,000 soldiers! Now that he has captured Hanzhong, it can be said that he is condescending to look at the Central Plains, and taking Xiliang, a place to raise horses, makes him even more powerful! It's going to be a big disaster! I thought that we should send troops from Jingzhou and Sili together, take Xiliang and Hanzhong first, force Liu Bei back to Shuchuan, and plot Jiangdong! ”

Pang Tong's words made the main line of the meeting divided into several kinds, Li Yu and Guo Jia are currently in favor of stability, while Cao Cao advocates attacking Jiangdong, and when he arrives at Pang Tong, he thinks that Hanzhong should be taken, okay! Boss Cao is messy!

"Hanzhong is condescending and not easy to attack, which is so simple? And it is even more difficult for Liu Bei's talents to gather! Isn't it good to take Jiangdong steadily? Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "This Jingzhou extends in all directions, especially when the world's three points are a foregone conclusion, the geographical location is particularly important!"

He separated the two forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei from the middle, and no matter what we do, it will be even more difficult for them to cooperate! I thought it would be better to take defense as the main body first, so that after the forces in the Jingzhou area were deeply rooted, it would not be too late to attack again! ”

"Whyder's words are very reasonable! We now have to guard against Liu Bei on the western front, whether he is going east or north, what he is plotting is our land, and we can't help but guard against it! Guo Jia glanced at Li Yu, Li Yu was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled; Cao Cao is now in a predicament, this predicament makes him very entangled, and he wants to fight Jiangdong immediately, but the sailors under his command are not elite enough and are far from being the opponents of the Jiangdong sailors, don't look at the usual Cai Mao and others babbling to claim that their sailors are the best in the world, but most of the time they are "defending", not "attacking"; The sailor needs time to forge it, which is the difficulty of fighting Jiangdong, and although there is no problem in fighting Xiliang and Hanzhong, there are difficulties in the terrain, Hanzhong is too high, not to mention Xiliang, it is extremely desolate, a wasteland, and it is difficult to garrison it; "Uh-well! All right! Let you make a strategy, I didn't expect that I can now understand the pain of my Yuan Shao brother! Cao Cao shook his head and rubbed his eyebrows, it seemed that the headache had flared up again; The Prime Minister forgives his sins! They all salute together; Cao Cao waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go back!" Let me think about it before I decide! ”

"The prime minister has changed!" , Li Yu and Guo Jia were walking outside together, Li Yu said with some sighs; Guo Jia's face changed: "Be quiet!" You're not afraid of death! Also! You and the prime minister have both scolded, and it is not up to him to do anything to you! ”

"Do you think I'm willing to talk about this? I'm thinking about the whole group, too! Otherwise, my current wife and children are hot in Xuchang, I don't know how happy I am! Li Yu rolled his eyes and complained; Guo Jia tilted his head and nodded approvingly: "Hmm! It's a drop! The prime minister will give you three beauties! Cut! The so-called greater power brings great responsibility, isn't this what you said? What's going on now? It's not that the prime minister has changed, he should have changed, but I think you have changed, you shouldn't have changed! Isn't it? ”

"Am I changed? Where have I changed? You're going to have to make it clear to me! Li Yu stopped solemnly and stared at Guo Jia, Guo Jia pouted: "No matter what, we are all courtiers, sometimes you are really a little excessive!" This is the advice of a friend to you, transgression, not a good deed! ”

Li Yu raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and said for a long time: "If I want to be a well-behaved person as you say, then I don't think that's the real me!" What is there to fear from death? It's just that I'm afraid that this collective, which has gathered our hard work for many years, will collapse! ”

Guo Jia: "It's not that serious, is it?" Die, die! However, in the current situation, I still agree with your opinion, Prime Minister, I'm too anxious! Can we have been in the army for eleven or two years? He has already won most of the world, only Jiangdong and Xishu have not been taken, it should be stable, and he is tired of going east and north! ”

"I think it took Liu Bang nearly 30 years to unify the world, although the prime minister is far superior to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in terms of ability, but hey! In the final analysis, it is the national strength and the people's strength that are fighting the war!

Not by the amount of land, but by how many people support him behind him! In fact, what I have always wanted to say is that we can completely switch from offense to defense, as long as we keep consuming the strength of these two, it is a matter of time before the world is unified! ”

Just as Guo Jia and Li Yu were talking, a cry of pain came from Cao Cao's residence not far away! Li Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran towards the place where the voice started, Cao Cao had a head wind again! Each time it was more and more serious, and this time it collapsed to the ground, like a gossamer!

"Big brother! Big brother! Li Yu hurriedly shook Cao Cao, the maid had already put the silk scarf wet with cold water on Cao Cao's forehead, Cao Cao woke up leisurely, grinning: "I haven't heard you call me brother for a long time!" It's been four or five years, help me up, I have something to say! ”； Cao Cao leaned back on the couch, closed his eyes, waited for the headache to pass, and instructed the people around him: "Huaide and Fengxiao, you two stay, and the others go out!" ”

After everyone went out, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "It has been more than ten years since I started to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but my blood is still not cold, but unfortunately I feel that my body is a little unbearable!" Thanks to your assistance over the years."

"My lord! Why bother? Let's get a doctor! You'll be fine! ", Guo Jia's sad persuasion; Hey! People are inherently dead, what are they afraid of? Besides, I'm not close to death! Cao Cao smiled and said solemnly: "It's just that I think there are some things that should be prepared!" For example, my heir, for example, to clear the obstacles for future generations, for example, for the imperial examination system that Huaide said, I still have too many things to do!

You're right! Keeping Jingxiang for the time being is the most important thing, and this is the most important strategic place for us now! I decided to return to Xuchang, stabilize Jingzhou first, and then use troops against Sun Quan or Jiangdong after a year or two! ”

Li Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other and lowered their heads: "Prime Minister Gao Zhi!" ”

"Tall fart! But what! Huaide, I can't let you meet Xuchang this time, there are some things you can understand, I appointed you as the pastor of Jingzhou, stay here for a while, and I will send Xiaofang and your three beautiful concubines over when I go back! ”

What does Cao Cao mean? Li Yu's head was chaotic, lying on the chair and began to think, thinking about it is nothing more than in the matter of the heir, Cao Cao has swayed, and now Cao Cao's more than ten sons are most likely to become heirs There are no more than three, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Chong!

If Li Yu returned his false son Cao Zhang to Cao Cao, the number might rise by one more; It was precisely because of his hesitation in the throne of the prince that Cao Cao did not allow Li Yu to meddle in this matter! Who doesn't know that Cao Pi is almost half of his son?

Li Yu has a wide range of influence among Cao Cao's ministers, both civil servants and military generals, if he sits for Cao Pi in Xuchang, no one can fight for Cao Pi's position, and because of this, Cao Cao will release Li Yu for the first time; Cao Zhi is talented and has excellent poetry and writing, which is the darling of scholars, and Cao Chong was born to Cai Wenji, smart and clever, and is also the object of support of some scholars, it is understandable that Cao Cao has this emotion; Thinking about it, Li Yu suddenly stood up: "Go, call Sima Yi over!" At this time, it was late at night, Sima Yi ran over in disheveled clothes, and saluted with his hand: "What did Mr. call me to do?" ”

"Big deal!" , Li Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for Sima Yi to sit down, and then stared at him seriously: "I'm going to let you do a big thing now!" The prime minister asked the class to return to the dynasty to inspect his heir, which means that the battle for the prince officially broke out at this moment! It used to be sneaky, but this time it's above board, you know what I mean? ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "Which son do you want me to assist?" Can't you go without going? I think it's better to be around you! With Cao Cao's current identity, the competition for the descendants of his sons is equivalent to the competition for the crown prince, and its bloody cruelty can be seen!

Li Yu shook his head: "You are knowingly asking!" Don't you know who I like? Pi'er is eloquent, but his personality has been influenced by his eldest brother Cao Ang and me, and he is too kind! I'm afraid he'll suffer! You go to Xuchang, I don't ask you to help Cao Pi anything, you just need to keep him! (To be continued)
