In the hall, Cao Cao waited quietly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's Cao Cao, compared with the crusade against Dong Zhuo in the past, is more calm and confident. After the failure of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the princes each left the Tiger Prison Pass, and Cao Cao went through several tosses, and finally sought the position of Taishou of Dongjun and gained a foothold in Yanzhou. Before the end of the year, there was a Yellow Turban Thief in Yanzhou, in order to level the Yellow Turban Thief, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai personally led the troops to encircle and suppress, but he did not expect to be defeated and killed.

Yanzhou, which lost Liu Dai, has no dragons, and people's hearts are floating. Under such circumstances, Cao Cao had the idea of seeking to occupy Yanzhou, and according to the opinions of Xi Zhicai and others, Cao Cao took the initiative to participate in Wang Yan's marriage, intending to ask Wang Yan for help.

"Dada"

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall.

Cao Cao heard the voice and quickly got up. After seeing the comer, he bowed his hand and said without humility or arrogance: "Dongjun guards Cao Cao and meets Wang Zhoumu." As soon as Ming Xian's brother got married, a major event in Wang Zhoumu's heart landed, which is gratifying. ”

In Qingzhou, Wang Yun was a assassin, so Cao Cao only saluted Wang Yun.

Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "Meng De, please take a seat."

Everyone sat down, and after Wang Yun sat down directly above, he smiled and said with a smile: "Meng De came to Zixian County thousands of miles to congratulate Xiao'er, and the old man thanked him here." ”

After a pause, Wang Yun waved his finger at Yang Xu and said, "Meng De, this is the old man's in-law Yang Xu." ”

Cao Cao was solemn and respectful, looking very respectful, and arched his hand: "It turned out that the hanging fish was too guarded by the sheep, the boss was honest and honest and benefited the people, and Meng De had long admired the great name." Seeing it today, it is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Yang Xu chuckled and said, "Cao is too conservative and praised"

In a word, Yang Xu stopped speaking, but quietly observed Cao Cao.

Wang Yun pointed at Wang Yan and said, "You and Xiao'er are friends, so I won't introduce you." ”

Wang Yan and Cao Cao bowed their hands and smiled at each other.

Cao Cao took the initiative to take over the conversation and told Wang Yan about his great exploits in Luoyang and Tiger Prison. For a while, Wang Yun and Yang Xu nodded frequently. Both of them were Wang Yan's elders, and they were both overjoyed after hearing what happened to Wang Yan in Luoyang and Tiger Prison. For a while, Cao Cao's senses were also quite good. There was no substantive conversation between the two sides, and after a short time, Wang Yun and Yang Xu left, leaving Cao Cao and Wang Yan behind.

Wang Yan smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Meng De, thank you very much this time." ”

Cao Cao said: "The virtuous brother is married, and if he doesn't come for his brother, that's unreasonable." In the past, you and I hit it off at first sight in Luoyang, and we fought side by side in the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Wang Yan changed his words and asked, "How is Brother Meng De in Dongjun?" ”

Cao Cao said: "With the assistance of Wenchen generals such as Xi Zhicai, it is not bad." Today's Dongjun can barely be regarded as politically connected. ”

Wang Yan said: "Brother Meng De has outstanding ability, and the land of a county has wronged you." ”

As he spoke, Wang Yan glanced at Cao Cao intentionally or unintentionally.

A fine light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, but he said, "Brother Xian praised." ”

Wang Yan immediately changed the topic and said: "Yuan Shao has mastered Jizhou, what does Brother Meng De think of Yuan Shao?" ”

Mentioning Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was full of anger. In the past, he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao put down the heavy task of crusading for the sake of Jizhou Mu, which led to the collapse of the alliance and the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao's face was angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shao is too disappointing"

Wang Yan smiled lightly and diverted the topic again.

The two of them had a conversation without a match, without pain or itching, and did not involve substantive topics. Cao Cao consciously guided, but Wang Yan directly diverged, and even Wang Yan guided from time to time, just about to enter the topic, but immediately diverged, causing Cao Cao to be extremely aggrieved and unable to talk about the topic in depth.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, his face was serious, and he said slowly: "Brother Xian, when my brother came to Zixian County this time, in addition to congratulating you, there is also something to discuss with you. ”

In desperation, Cao Cao planned to get straight to the point.

Wang Yun said: "What's the matter? ”

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "I plan to seek Yanzhou, and I hope that the virtuous brother will help me." ”

Finally, Cao Cao threw out the theme.

In fact, after Wang Yan heard that Wang Yun and Yang Xu had invited court officials, he knew that the purpose of the people who came to congratulate him would not be simple, and he knew that there would be various things. Knowing that Cao Cao arrived, Wang Yan also knew that Cao Cao might also have intentions.

It's just that Wang Yan didn't expect Cao Cao's appetite to be so big.

Seek to take Yanzhou

This is really a big deal.

Wang Yan's eyes were sharp, and he said, "How do you need me to help you?" ”

Cao Cao sat up straight and said, "Brother Xian has been in charge of Donglai County for half a year, and with Brother Xian's ability, he will inevitably gain a foothold in Donglai County." Within this year, the virtuous brother will definitely recruit the Qingzhou bandits in various counties and counties. There are no other requirements for the elder brother, he only needs to force them into Yanzhou when the virtuous brother encircles and suppresses the bandits in Qingzhou. ”

"It is indeed a simple request, but this request has a deep meaning." Wang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said: "With Brother Mengde's means, Yanzhou is invincible. Even with Brother Mengde's ability to lead troops, he can completely capture all the counties and countries in Yanzhou. Now he wants me to break the bandits of Qingzhou into Yanzhou, which means that my brother wants to use this to put pressure on people from all counties and countries to nominate you as the assassin of Yanzhou. ”

After a pause, Wang Yan said: "In this way, Brother Meng De must have planted people in various counties and countries to let them raise the flag and shout, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve your goal." Brother Meng De, you are going to take Yanzhou without blood, and you are going to surrender without a fight. ”

Cao Cao praised: "The virtuous brother has a wise eye like a torch, and he has insight into his brother's strategy at a glance. ”

For Wang Yan, Cao Cao was afraid of it.

The plan to take Yanzhou was a plan that he had discussed with his subordinates for a long time. Wang Yan saw through it at a glance, which shows Wang Yan's wisdom and ability.

Wang Yan glanced at Cao Cao meaningfully, and said, "Brother Meng De, I'm afraid your plan is more than that. The bandits in Qingzhou are in turmoil, and they should indeed be exterminated. But among this batch of good and bad bandits, there are also countless young and strong. As long as you defeat it, you can have countless soldiers, and you can also let the old and weak among them cultivate.

"Once they are driven to Yanzhou, it means that Qingzhou will lose this group of people."

"Brother Meng De is seeking to capture Yanzhou, if you want to surrender without a fight, with your means, you can completely create a momentum, create a public opinion offensive of bandits attacking Yanzhou, and force Yanzhou's officials to comply."

"Now, Brother Meng De is asking for my help, I'm afraid it's not just for Yanzhou, but also for these bandits."

"The source of soldiers and the people can be selected from the bandits in Qingzhou."

"As long as a large number of bandits enter Yanzhou, Brother Meng De can justifiably exterminate them, integrate them, and then settle them. Yanzhou's population and military strength can be greatly increased. ”

Wang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Meng De, you are really a good calculation." ”

Cao Cao's complexion changed slightly, but he didn't expect Wang Yan to even see through this layer.

After a while, Cao Cao regained his composure and said with a smile: "Brother Xian has thought too much, Brother Wei didn't take this layer into account at all. Compared with Qingzhou, Yanzhou has a large population and is no worse than Qingzhou. Why, then, should I do anything more? ”

Wang Yan smiled lightly and said lightly: "Yanzhou may really not have to be bad in Qingzhou, but Yanzhou is not Brother Meng De's for the time being." Now, there must be a shortage of troops under Brother Meng De's command, doesn't Brother Meng De want to increase his troops? ”

Cao Cao laughed, gave a thumbs up and praised: "The virtuous brother is wise and incomparable, and he serves his brother." ”

After a pause, Cao Cao said: "Brother Xian has a pivotal position in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is in dire need of a stable environment. However, Yuan Shao has already gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, and the next step is likely to seek Qingzhou or Yanzhou, in this case, only you and I join forces to fight against Yuan Shao can ensure the stability of Qingzhou and Yanzhou. So, please help me. ”

Wang Yan said lightly: "Brother, you can't rely on others after all." This point, you have experienced the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and you are naturally very clear. If you want me to make a move, what conditions can you pay? ”

In a word, straight to the point.

Cao Cao's request, Wang Yan could not agree unconditionally, there must be enough benefits.
