Chapter 833 Follow-up

Cao Cao thought that Zhong Miao was going to say something secret, but after everyone retreated, only Guo Jia, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, Cheng Yu and a few others remained, Zhong Xuan opened his mouth, and he reacted, it turned out that Zhong Miao hinted that he was not retiring because of confidentiality, but completely out of saving face for him.

"The lord won Guanzhong, set things right, and spread his reputation all over the world, which is certainly worth rejoicing. But if you think that you can sit back and relax, and think that you can rely on the power of the alliance to subdue Qingzhou, you are a little too optimistic. Qingzhou Wang Hussar, since his debut, has acted like a whimsical, which is difficult to guess, but every life has a miraculous effect......"

Looking at the same person or thing from different angles often leads to different conclusions. From the beginning of the battle against Dong in the first year of Zhongping, Zhong Xuan was in the center of the imperial court, accompanied by the Son of Heaven, and it can be said that he witnessed the rise of Wang Yu throughout the process, and his views on Wang Yu were different from Cao Jun's mainstream ideas.

"It's not so much that all this is the result of Wang Hussar's calculations, but it is too unfounded, and manpower is sometimes exhausted, how can everything be expected before everyone? The hussar general has a vision, and he is also very good at seeing through complex situations and getting to the point, but it is not so much that he is awake and calculating, but that his ideas are very different from ordinary people, even if he acts rashly, it seems to be unfathomable. ”

Zhong Xuan gave an example: "Just talking about winning the favor of the Son of Heaven, at the beginning in Heyin, if Wang Hussar had killed Dong Thief with a knife, the Son of Heaven would also be grateful for his rescue work, but he would not be so rewarded, and he would be rewarded to the point where he was rewarded. It's strength and luck, but it's definitely not a calculated result. ”

Because he has always been by the side of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, Zhong Miao had the most say in the mental journey of the Son of Heaven at that time, and he was not sure of the secret decree of the Son of Heaven. In the end, how many accidental factors are combined to form the inevitable outcome. But he knew very well that it was actually the result of the impulse of the Son of Heaven.

It is because of the impulse of the Son of Heaven that Wang Yu's rise has become unstoppable, and even Cao Cao took control of the Guanzhong and controlled the imperial court, but he could only fight against him in the name of righteousness, rather than suppress the other party. If Wang Yu was calculated from the moment he laid the knife, then he was already beyond the scope of human beings.

"So. Rather than studying his tactics and tactics, it is better to scrutinize his ideas, so as to sketch a complete image, take his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, so that he can confront him head-on, rather than just using traditional tactics and secretly casting cold arrows. ”

There was silence in the room. Only Zhong Xuan's loud words echoed.

Xun Yu raised his eyes slightly, and looked at his nephew, who was older than himself, and was surprised to see that the latter was actually slightly bowed. seems to agree deeply with Zhong Xuan's words. He was surprised, could it be that what he saw in the court was really different from what he saw in the hostile position of Wang Yu?

Zhong Xuan's wording is tactful. But the meaning is very clear, it is nothing more than to ask Cao Cao to keep up with his opponent. Follow suit, at least be invincible. Let's talk about how to defeat the opponent.

Whether it's true or not, these words are not ordinary harsh!

Xun Yu looked at the expressions of the other people in the hall again, Guo Jia looked pensive, and it seemed that he not only listened to these words, but also thought and analyzed them very seriously. In this arrogant and talented genius, such a scene is rare.

Cheng Yu's reaction was the most normal, his face was angry, his beard and sleeves were constantly shaking, looking at that posture, if Cao Cao hadn't stopped it with his eyes, he would probably have pointed his finger to Zhong Xuan's nose.

Xun Yu can understand the mood of his colleagues very well, and he can even guess how embarrassed and angry the lord's state of mind is at this moment.

Only when you are in the army can you understand how the lord and everyone have lived in the past few years, and how they have trembled and been cautious under the shadow of Wang Yu.

Yuan Tan died of his father, and he had a grudge against Qingzhou, but the lord's side first lost his humerus and plotted his ministers, and then folded his relatives and generals, this hatred was not much smaller than Yuan Tan's revenge for killing his father. But Cao Cao not only could not take revenge, but also could only continue to show weakness to the enemy, and retreated several times in great strides, and even gave up the Dongjun that he had started, in order to distance himself from the Qingzhou army.

Of course, when the warriors go to the battlefield, life and death honor and disgrace can only be put aside. Personal enmity does not and should not affect the major affairs of the military state. What really makes the lord and his colleagues feel humiliated is the successive shows of weakness and the embarrassing situation they face after showing weakness.

The battle for the westward expansion lasted for almost two years, and the lowest moment was the time when Xiahou Yuan was self-defeating and was severely injured by Li Ru. It can be said that at that time, Cao Jun had reached the threshold of life and death, if it weren't for Guo Jia's advice, Zhong Xuan's matchmaking, and finding the allies in Xiliang, the people's hearts would probably be scattered.

With such an experience, you can understand how excited the lord and everyone are after obtaining Guanzhong, how excited they are, how proud they are, they are simply Kunyu Huapeng, and once they turn over!

Even if the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou have a tendency to merge with Qingzhou, it is a slap in the face to Cao Jun, but it cannot be said to be a catastrophe.

The Qingzhou army can quickly defeat Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou, but it may not be able to quickly solve the Xiliang army in Bingzhou, don't forget, in the Youzhou War, Wang Yu used almost all the strength of the hussar army!

At that time, the battle of Guanzhong was in full swing, and the Cao army could not draw up the strength to deal with Qingzhou, but if Wang Yu also marched west with the main force this time to deal with the Xiliang army, then there would be nothing to be polite on his side.

Director Xun Yu is not in the military, but he is still well aware of these most basic changes in the situation.

Now, Zhong Xuan said that the matter was so serious, and asked the lord to follow suit and take Wang Yu as his teacher. At best, it's too cautious, and at worst, it's just making a big fuss and using the topic to play, no wonder Cheng Zhongde is so annoyed.

Cao Cao's face is also not very good-looking, but he is a person who is already deep in the city, and in the past few years, under the shadow of Wang Yu, he has also been working hard to endure, but he has practiced a good forbearance.

And Zhong Xuan used to have this temper, speaking directly, not showing mercy, if Cao Cao was angry, he would be happy for a while, and he still had to go back and apologize afterwards, otherwise it would only ruin his reputation.

"Not by the usual means?" After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao hoarsely asked, "What should I do?" There are no outsiders here, Yuan Chang might as well speak freely, and there is no need to scruple much. ”

"From the Qingzhou New Deal to this Dingbei Policy, it can be seen that Wang Huqi attaches importance not to the interests of the family, but to the great interests of the world!"

Zhong Xuan did not shirk, and his words were loud: "Tuntian, let the people benefit; Martial arts, give the people to the handle; Valuing business is not afraid of the flow of people and increasing knowledge; Universal education is an unprecedented thing since ancient times, and the slogan that everyone is like a dragon is not just anyone who dares to talk about it! There are also navigation, Dingbei ......"

"It is difficult to speculate what these policies will evolve into in the future, but for the time being, Qingzhou's vitality is very different from other places in the Central Plains. These seemingly intangible things seem to be unable to provide more help in the war except to provide more wealth, but in fact, they are not! ”

"In the past few years, Qingzhou has fought abroad, and the mobilized troops are not much, but the civil martial arts system has been implemented for a long time, and it is a big risk to go to sea. If there is really a foreign enemy attacking Qingzhou, what kind of army will appear under its terrifying appeal? ”

Saying that, Zhong Miao solemnly gathered his body and said solemnly: "Zhong Xuan is not talented, he is valued by the lord, the counselor of the military aircraft, and he inquires about military affairs, and he does not dare to do his best, and he speaks from the bottom of his heart, hoping that the lord will see clearly!" ”

Zhong Xuan can be selected as the son of heaven, he is a person with good image and eloquence, and what he said is also sincere, without hypocrisy, not only Cao Cao was moved, Guo Jia looked sideways, and even Cheng Yu, who had been looking at him unpleasantly, raised his fierce eyes, and thought about it calmly and seriously.

In fact, where Wang Yu went north, there were also some voices within Cao Jun, who wanted to make peace with Dong Zhuo and turn over to copy Wang Yu's back road. Cheng Yu, Bao Xin, and Chen Gong, who escaped from Lu Bujun, all held such opinions, and the latter even worked hard between Chang'an and Hongnong, trying to mediate a peace negotiation.

Cao Cao was also moved for a while, but Guo Jia resolutely objected, and reminded Cao Cao in private: "Why don't you go and discuss with Zang Xuangao for a while?" ”

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Zang Ba took advantage of Wang Yu's fierce battle in Hebei to withdraw all the troops in the territory and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack, but Xu Shu summoned tens of thousands of militiamen, and fought a battle in Yuanshan, and then collapsed.

Before Wang Yu went north, Cao Cao's Xiahou Yuan was defeated and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, even if he reached a peace agreement with Dong Zhuo, he had to leave a certain amount of soldiers and horses on the western front to guard against the other party's repeats, and he also had to send a general to stay in Nanyang to guard against Liu Biao, and the actual number of troops that could be drawn was only twenty or thirty thousand at best.

Qingzhou's mobilization power is now stronger, and once the remaining generals once again sacrifice the magic weapon of the militia's tactics, which is not conducive to the war in Qingzhou, the direction of the wind will completely change. It's hard to even jump out and bite people, it's really embattled.

Now Zhong Xuan has taken a step further in Guo Jia's point of view, believing that even if Cao's army advances eastward with the main force, it may not be able to take much advantage of attacking Qingzhou, where the main force is outside.

Although this is not a good thing, it really can't be said that there is no truth at all. The militia field battle may not be the opponent of the Cao army, whose strength has skyrocketed and has been relieved of worries, but in the defensive battle, they have not been without the power to fight with those divine weapons in Qingzhou.

For example, as Liang Mao described, the bed crossbow that appeared in the naval battle of western Liaoning, once a warship equipped with this thing appeared, blocking the waterway of the Yellow River, and at the same time erecting a few more on the head of the city, the threat was not ordinary.

Cao Cao's face was ashamed, he walked down the Danqi in a few steps, grabbed Zhong Xuan's arm, and said emotionally: "Yuan Chang is even worried, after the victory in Guanzhong, I am indeed arrogant, ashamed, ashamed. This is a matter of taking the enemy as a teacher, and please ask Yuan Changyou to teach me. ”

"Don't dare." Zhong Xiang accepted it when he saw it, put away his strong posture of being outspoken, and said humbly with half-truths and half-truths: "I have a brutal attack, fortunately the lord is generous, and he doesn't care about it, but this matter should be discussed by everyone, and the lord will decide."
